Chapter 59: There is no sense of glory
Artoria was shocked by this truth, and at the same time made her extremely angry.
Especially when she thought of the elegant young woman who was as pure as a snowflake, but still behaved so calmly and calmly in the face of her destined fate, she felt a faint pain in her heart.
Moreover, Xia Ran also told her very calmly that in fact, the Holy Grail War was a scam at all, whether it was the master or the servant who participated in this ceremony, it was actually just a tool for the three royal families to get close to the root and reproduce the third magic.
The Great Chalice is the basis of the entire Great Ritual, magically connected to the leylines of Fuyuki, and draws on the magic of it to carry out the Holy Grail War, possessing the power to contact the "Throne of the Immortal" and summon the Immortal Split in the form of a Servant.
The Little Holy Grail is the prize for the victors of the Holy Grail War, that is, the "Holy Grail" that the Seven Masters and the Seven Horsemen compete for, and has the power to realize any wish immediately.
This means that if you want to get the Holy Grail, you have to presuppose the death of Alice Phil.
Artoria felt completely unacceptable, she was indeed pursuing the Holy Grail, the power of miracles, hoping to fulfill her wishes, but there was no way to accept the fact that the Holy Grail she was pursuing was stained with Alice Phil's blood after knowing this kind of thing.
Therefore, the King of Knights quickly decides that even if the Holy Grail can fulfill her wish, she does not want to trade Alice Fair's life for it.
I just don't know if it's too late to save Alice Phil's life......
Now it seems that it will probably be very suspenseful, because the two of them have just arrived at the scene to find that Lancer has also just left the scene regrettably, and it seems that he has died under the suppression of Gilgamesh's treasure.
Now the number of Servants who have exited the field is already dangerous, and if Gilgamesh is killed again, Alice Phil's body may begin to disintegrate...... However, Gilgamesh could not keep it, because it was obviously impossible for this goods to cooperate with them, so sit down and discuss it.
Like it is now—
"It's you two bastards, I wanted to spare your lives for a few more days...... I didn't expect you to be so ignorant and take the initiative to find it. ”
The golden archer laughed wickedly, staring at the figure of the magician he hated the most, with eyes almost ready to be devoured.
"In that case, you should be mentally prepared for what will happen tonight, right? Then bastard, remember to this king, tonight will be the most glorious moment of your life......"
Speaking of this, he paused very forcefully, stretched out his hand to catch a piece of crystal snowflakes that happened to fall from the sky, and took a deep breath of the cold air of this winter night, as if he could still smell the blood of the spearman just now.
What did he say? What is the most glorious moment? Saber wondered, she couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling the strong killing intent of the yellow-haired thug opposite, so she was engrossed in vigilance.
Sure enough, there is no way to communicate, just like a man and a dog can't communicate, so he can only kill this Gilgamesh first as the Master said, otherwise, he will not be able to cross the other party to find Alice Phil.
"I guess we killed him, and it was the most glorious moment of our lives...... Well, he seems to think of himself as amazing. Xia Ran also frowned, and replied with some uncertainty.
"Kill him...... Will it really be honored? Saber was a little confused.
"I don't think so, if I kill anything like him, I will feel the glory of my life, then it will be too rude to my sense of honor......" Xia Ran shook his head, his style was not so low to such an outrageous extent.
“……”
“……”
Gilgamesh's expression froze suddenly, and even the last sentence of "Because this king will give you death with his own hands" could not be spoken.
He just wanted to pause, brew the atmosphere, be nervous, alert, vigilant, fearful, uneasy on the other side...... After these delicious emotions were fully fermented, he lightly said his supreme judgment as a king, which completely made the mongrels on the opposite side despair.
However, Xia Ran didn't give him a chance......
"You, you...... Good! Good! Bastard, you can only use your tongue in front of this king, howl as much as you want! ”
Gilgamesh's shoulders trembled slightly, not simply offended, more like he had been touched against the scales, he couldn't maintain the calm and arrogance he had just now, but he frothed at the mouth and cursed, and let out a fierce threatening curse at the level of a schoolboy.
"Make the most of this last stage of life, for a wild dog like you doesn't know that the king's wrath is beyond the reach of the whole world......"
"Wait for me, mongrel king, the one who has always known only the benefits of his tongue in my face...... Isn't that person yourself? I've seen a lot of people like you. ”
Xia Ran faintly interrupted the other party's crazy roar, he was not surprised by Gilgamesh's gaffe, this thing does not have any city and equipment, plus he has been stimulated so many times, it is estimated that the accumulated negative value can already make people promote to the Yuan Infant Stage.
"The more incompetent people are, the more likely they are to lose their temper, and they are scaring the people around them by throwing their tempers, so that others will not find out how incompetent they are."
Speaking of this, as if he remembered something, he glanced at Gilgamesh strangely, and said with a smile—
"Incompetent rage doesn't make you change the facts, if it weren't for Tosaka Toshitomi being resolute enough twice, I would have killed a waste like you twice, and now Tosaka Toshitomi is also dead, what are you left but that mouth?"
"Enough! Rabid dog, this king will break your teeth! ”
Trembling Gilgamesh felt that he was going to die of anger, he roared like thunder, his eyes were red, and he looked like crazy, and almost instantly activated the treasure house, shooting hundreds of treasures like a rain of swords in front of him!
Thundered!
Flashes and explosions rang out in the street, which had been plowed.
If it weren't for Yan Fengqili's preparations in advance, in order for his script to be staged without interruption, he evacuated the residents near the Minhui Hall in advance, and this alone would have caused huge casualties.
Thundered!
The frenzied intensive bombardment of the Noble Phantasm group, one after another, caused the ground to shake constantly.
In this way, the bombing lasted for half a minute before it stopped, and the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, but the position where Xia Ran and Saber were standing did not seem to have been damaged in any way.
"Senseless attack, are you only going to use this move......" Xia Ran even yawned, his defensive ability was already ridiculously hard.
"Hah! Do you think that's the end of it? Give me a good look, this is the most correct law of this world, and to be able to die under its power is the glory of your mongrel's life! ”
At this moment, a sneer full of anger and banter sounded, and Archer, who had already taken advantage of the attack just now to suppress the distance, did not know when he was already standing on the street lamp in front of the Minhui Hall.
And he didn't know when his arms had been raised above his head, and at this moment, the strange "sword" was in his hand, constantly speeding up, and each lap was faster, as if it was accumulating energy.
I saw that the three cylinders like grinding disks echoed the movements of the celestial spheres, each rubbing and rotating with the weight and strength of the earth's crust, and the huge magic that rolled out was simply immeasurable.
"Huh? This is ......" Xia Ran narrowed her eyes slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the knight girl beside her.
Although the tactics were simple, they went so well...... Is the other party too cooperative?
"Finally scared! It's too late, you're all going to die! ”
Boom ——!!
With the roar of a violent hurricane, Gilgamesh's sword hilt burst with terrifying magic. The sword whirling proudly swept into the wind, ready to repeat the miracle of creation.
"Look, this is the 'Heaven and Earth Obedient Pioneer Star'!"
The Golden Hero King announced with a sneer, directly omitting all the words of the previous introduction.
Because after repeated lessons before, he had already learned to be smart, so no matter what, this time he wouldn't give the damn rabid dog on the other side a chance to continue to be proud.
The Noble Phantasm just now was frantically suppressed, just to not give the enemy a chance to stop it, and at the same time to let himself distance and liberate the obedient sword· Ea。
As if to explode all the negative emotions such as grievance and anger that he has received during this period of time, Archer directly swung his sword down, without specifically aiming at all.
In fact, there is no need to aim, and the things that are cut by the blade of the obedient sword are by no means limited to any specific "enemy".
EA - In ancient Mesopotamian mythology, Ea was the god of the earth and water in charge of the "heavens" and "middles".
As suchly called, "Obedient Sword · EA", it is the initial sword that witnessed the feat of creation in the age of mythology. Its blade was given the task of splitting the chaotic sky and earth in half and giving it a definite form.
The sky is screaming, and the earth is roaring.
A huge beam of magic shook the laws of the universe and rushed out.
The fault runs in space, accompanied by the flash of destruction of the eyes, accompanied by the storm that covers the ears, obediently leaving the sword. The EA unleashes a vortex of destruction.
"Die! Mad dog! ”
Gritting his teeth and his face was hideous and twisted, Gilgamesh frantically injected magic into the treasure in his hand, and he no longer had any scruples, and he no longer needed to leave any spare strength, only to destroy the damned mongrels on the opposite side with all his strength.
This sword was so happy, so hearty, he almost put his whole heart into it, carefully experiencing the extreme pleasure of this moment!
That's right! This is the wrath of the king as a matter of course!
It was because he did his best that he made the sword · EA's operation has reached a critical state, so in the next moment, although he saw the oncoming death scythe and Gilgamesh changed color, there was no way to stop the Noble Phantasm.
Saber's Noble Phantasm unfolded at the nick of time, and what spread out in front of her eyes was the unique Sheath of the Holy Sword.
Directly blocked the quasi-spatial fracture caused by the first opening sword Ea, forming an attack similar to a space-time fault...... No, not blocked, because this is no longer the level of defense.
That's a cut-off.
Isolated from this world, a world that cannot be reached. Protected by the sheath of the holy sword, Saber was cut off from all truth in the world for a moment.
"Despicable!! How can you play such a small trick——!! ”
Gilgamesh did see death, but at this point he could not stop, and could only let out a cry of rage. He couldn't even get off the lamp, because he was obedient to the sword. EA is still running at full capacity.
This is also a matter of course, who would have thought that such a blow would be easily taken?
Saber seized the moment exactly, and the silver armor wrapped around her body disintegrated in an instant, leaving nothing left of her chest guards, wrist guards, and leg guards, losing the supply of magic power, and gradually disappearing like smoke.
This means that she is wearing a light casual suit, mobilizing all the energy that can be used to release her magic, and the magic that was originally used to maintain her armor is also injected into her next attack.
The Knight King poured all his strength into his hands gripping the hilt of the sword, raised the golden sword high, and the true name of the miracle was chanted aloud.
The brilliance is infinitely condensed, converging into a dazzling beam.
“Excalibur——!!”
The light is rushing.
The light is roaring.
The magic power was accelerated by the unshackled dragon factor, turning into a flash of light, and this rushing stream that erupted swept up countless whirlpools, and at the moment when the attack of the obedient sword had just ended, it rolled back and devoured everything!
"Hybrid ——!!" Under the scorching impact, Gilgamesh let out a terrible scream.
“……”
“……”
I don't know how long it has passed, as if the passage of time has lost its meaning, until the dazzling white light gradually fades away, and everything calms down.
"It's not completely evaporated, it seems that the level of your golden armor is very high......"
Xia Ran's slow voice sounded, and he looked at the golden figure standing in the ruins like the end of the world.
The armor of the gold has melted, and the hot gold juice is dripping...... The mongrel king didn't evaporate on the spot in the flash of the stars that burned everything? Sure enough, if you are fully prepared, there is no ambiguity in defense.
But that's it, even if you don't die on the spot and fall off the streetlight, you still can't stand on your own, but this is already the limit......
"In that case, I'll take care of this head...... Xia Ran nodded lightly at Artoria as she walked forward briskly, wondering what she would get out of the bloody key.
"Wait...... Master, it can be dangerous......"
Saber didn't doubt him, but frowned, put down the holy sword, and quickly tried to follow.
"Hateful bastard! You still want to humiliate the king?! Send this king to hell! At this moment, Gilgamesh, who was holding strongly, seemed to have returned to the light, and suddenly opened his closed eyes and stared at Xia Ran who was approaching, and the scarlet violent light flashed!
It seems that he is constantly angry and has held on until now, just to wait for this moment!
And yet—
“Fus-Ro-Dah——!!”
The ancient and mysterious syllables shook the atmosphere, the air flow exploded like a shock, and the terrifying sound wave swept the ground!
I didn't know what was going on at all, and I was ruthlessly strangled when I fought back to death! The broken body of the golden heroic spirit was blasted away like a rag doll, and it fell heavily to the ground more than ten meters away, and the silhouette of the body was even more blurred, as if it was about to dissolve.
"No, you dare ——!!"
The next moment, the frightened and angry wails of a wild dog that seemed to be cornered in a dead alley came to an abrupt end.
Xia Ran stepped on the head of the body on the ground, and raised the rusty ebony demon blade in his hand with a calm expression, and the blade swung down.
