Since Assassin kidnapped Irisviel, it means that Assassin did not die; he survived the battle for revenge.
This means that Lancer, lacking magic, ultimately became the loser, dying in a corner unknown to anyone.
But today, both of them showed up.
This gave Kiritsugu Emiya a fright.
So he told Artoria to hide in the shadows and see how things would develop.
Why does the Assassin magic information disappear here?
Instead, Lancer and her new Master were currently sweeping through the deserted buildings.
Just now, the Hero King Gilgamesh appeared on the roof of the Tohsaka family mansion, uttering the usual "bastard".
It looked like they were about to unleash a powerful attack on Lancer and Solau, who were still inside the building.
Adhering to the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and considering that Artoria is in very poor condition at the moment, she would definitely lose if she faced Gilgamesh alone.
So for the first time, the Master and Servant had a telepathic connection: to interrupt Gilgamesh's attack.
As a result, the Wind King Barrier that had sealed the Star Holy Sword erupted once again.
The Wind King's hammer swung straight up, meeting Gilgamesh, who was deciding everything.
After the dust settled, the golden-clad body remained undamaged, which was expected.
"If viewed from the perspective of a king, this could be laughed off as the behavior of a clown. But since you have intruded into my judgment, there is no choice but to eliminate you. Are you prepared to accept my wrath, Saber?"
Then Gilgamesh slowly turned around and said to Artoria, the swordswoman who had landed on the opposite edge of the Tohsaka Mansion:
"How dare you openly provoke me, the King, when you're not even fully victorious? Are you tired of living?"
Seeing the faint magical fluctuations emanating from the approaching swordsmen, Gilgamesh was somewhat surprised, but still spoke casually:
"I'll allow you to pull out that holy sword while I'm at it, so I can see how you cry!"
"...The tears that could be shed have long since dried up since the day Camelot fell."
Artoria wanted to use words to subtly influence Gilgamesh in order to replenish her magical energy, so she answered in accordance with his words.
"So, as a substitute, you're overflowing with filth? To think you could win my 'Holy Grail' with such a tasteless desire—what a sin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lancer appeared in front of Gilgamesh at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
The spear suddenly blasted out.
"You shall pay for the sin of assassinating my lord, Archer!"
The sound travels slower than Lancer's movements.
Speed is Lancer's greatest strength.
However, in previous battles, she was either restricted by various means to turn Teng Luo's body.
Either it's because she lacks a Master to provide her with magical energy, making it impossible for her to withstand the magical energy depletion caused by high-speed attacks.
boom--! ! !
The sound has not yet arrived.
The tiny point transformed into the concept of "death" was already approaching a distance Gilgamesh couldn't react to.
No matter what action is taken, there is no way to avoid the supersonic, rapidly approaching gun tip.
By the time Gilgamesh felt the wind being torn apart, it was already too late... what a load of rubbish.
The moment the spearman's figure appeared, thunder resounded across the sky.
A dazzling light flashed, and countless tiny bolts of lightning streaked across the sky.
One of the bolts of lightning struck the tip of the spear, and what should have been a fatal blow deflected mid-air before it made contact.
The potential energy generated by breaking the sound barrier makes it difficult for riflemen to adjust their movements at such extreme distances.
It had no choice but to deviate from its destined course and thrust forward.
However, the collapse caused by the shockwave caused the remaining roof structure, which had not yet collapsed, to disintegrate in mid-air.
This forced the king of heaven to once again sit on equal footing with the people of the earth.
After seeing that the raid had failed, Lancer's Master couldn't help but look out at the sky.
They noticed that multiple discs were floating in the sky.
The Noble Phantasm, which adds geometric patterns to the beautiful natural landscape, is constantly swirling around as if guarding its surroundings while being entangled in fine lightning.
It was an automatic defensive Noble Phantasm, originally intended to prevent the sudden intrusion of unknown forces—such as Zeus, who was attached to Iskandar.
However, to Gilgamesh's surprise, he actually managed to deflect the bayonet of a mere spearman.
Big news, today's chapter has been blocked.
The chapter I wrote today has been blocked, and I don't know when it will be released!
Chapter 144 Judgment One
"The strangest things are coming out one after another, King of Heroes."
Seeing that Lancer's attack had failed, Artoria also saw the disc floating in the sky and couldn't help but feel speechless.
Gilgamesh smiled dismissively, his golden eyes flashing with disdain:
"All the treasures of the world belong to me. This rare item is merely one piece in my collection."
The words have not yet fallen.
Although the automatic defense Noble Phantasm activated its lightning strikes to intercept the oncoming spear, the spear still managed to pass through the gaps in the lightning strikes and head towards Gilgamesh, even after being struck by several lightning bolts.
The speed at which electricity travels through the air—the speed of lightning—is slower than the speed of light, but it is still fast enough to catch an ordinary javelin.
But the speed of the gun exceeded human limits.
Gilgamesh immediately manifested his armor and used his left gauntlet to deflect the spear.
However, perhaps unable to completely negate the power of the projectile, part of the armor shattered, and golden fragments fell to the ground.
"...Oh."
Gilgamesh stared indifferently at the damaged part of his armor, then narrowed his eyes slightly—
"Though it's a gift from the dragon... it has given birth to a barbarian who doesn't know manners? Then let me turn you into a rust remover for the treasures in my warehouse!"
The next moment——
The javelin transformed into spiritual particles and re-condensed in the spearman's hand, then attacked Gilgamesh, who had fallen to the ground, without hesitation.
The supersonic spear once again drew near Gilgamesh's face.
Although the shockwave was mitigated by the powerful lightning barrier, it could not protect against the gunshot itself.
Death looms large once again.
The gates of the King's Treasury are revealed.
Golden chains emerged from it, hurtling out at the same speed that broke the sound barrier.
The Heavenly Chains, a Noble Phantasm, precisely wrapped around the spear, binding it in mid-air.
Then, he coldly stared at the spearman:
"Fool, do you think I won't be on guard after I come down?"
The spearman continued to ignore Gilgamesh's words, recalling his spear and relentlessly hurling it at the enemy before him.
A loud bang rang out from the side of Gilgamesh's head.
Anyone who sees this will understand that the spearman has no intention of having any conversation at this moment.
They simply wanted to cut off Gilgamesh's head.
"So that's how it is. It's not about being obsessed with victory, but about wanting to recreate that farcical revenge scene?"
Then, in the next instant—
"However, revenge is a matter that cannot be initiated without the judgment of a king. The last mortal king who witnessed your death has already passed away. If you still want to commit treason, it is simply unforgivable!"
Gilgamesh's appearance contained highly illogical content, while behind him the gates of the "Gate of Babylon" opened, unleashing countless Noble Phantasms.
Faced with a rain of blades mixed with high-level Noble Phantasms, the Lancer seemed utterly vulnerable, but no one believed she would fall here.
As expected, the spearman swung his spear and knocked down the Noble Phantasm with a speed that even surpassed the common sense of Heroic Spirits.
"what?"
"..."
The crowd's exclamations weren't about the Blue Lancers' heroic feat, but rather about Gilgamesh's words when he launched the attack.
Has the last king who witnessed Lancer's revenge passed away?
Isn't that referring to Rider, the Conqueror?
Everyone had witnessed Iskandar's power, especially his Noble Phantasm. Apart from Gilgamesh, who was confident he could easily defeat him, none of the Heroic Spirits present could be certain they could kill him.
Although they had sensed the astonishing magical fluctuations from Ryudou Temple before arriving here, and Lancer and Solau knew in advance that the King of Conquerors' next target was Ryudou Temple.
But unexpectedly, it was that imposing Rider who was defeated.
It wasn't until Gilgamesh uttered those words that everyone accepted this crucial piece of information.
Even the spearmen's offensive was affected at this moment, and became somewhat slow.
Kiritsugu Emiya quickly assessed the current situation in his mind.
"Matouike only brought Berserker to attack our side, so Ryudouji is left with only Caster alone to defend..."
Then Caster's danger level will rise to another level.
But all of that is for later; right now, the most important thing is to win back Irisviel.
Artoria also knew the priorities of the matter.
She tried to clear her mind, but the Assassin who kidnapped Irisviel had not shown up yet, and even her Master Kirei Kotomine was nowhere to be found.
