"Woman, this King will personally cut off your head!"
"My head is right here; whoever has the ability can take it."
The King of Heroes' enraged roar and Rin's carefree declaration echoed across the not-so-vast battlefield, where thousands of true and fake blades, spears, and halberds clashed and intertwined. Fakes severed by genuine articles, genuine articles blown away by fakes—at this moment, who was superior or inferior truly seemed meaningless.
Dazzling thousands of noble phantasms shot across the sky, and the explosive magical energy fluctuations shook the entire battlefield's space.
"Gilgamesh, being too focused on clashing with my barrage will lead to your demise!"
A battlefield of intertwined blades was enough to bury an army in an instant, but for the Black Knight, who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, the sky full of noble phantasms was merely a gentle spring rain.
Under the interference of Rin's Phantasm Collapse, the noble phantasms launched by the Gate of Babylon posed no threat to Lancelot. With several noble phantasms returned to Gilgamesh clearing the way, Lancelot, holding two A++ grade noble phantasm weapons he had chosen, once again charged towards the oldest King of humanity!
"Mad dog, this King will tear you to pieces!"
Several defensive noble phantasms from human history and legends simultaneously unfurled multiple dazzling light barriers before Gilgamesh. Lancelot, with a single-handed longsword shining with brilliant light in his right hand, swung it fiercely towards the almost mythical 'Wall of Sighs'-like obstruction before him, and the unbreakable defense composed of multiple legendary shields was instantly shattered!
Not only Gilgamesh was stunned, but Rin was also stunned. No matter how powerful Lancelot's combat ability was, it was impossible for him to shatter several defensive noble phantasm barriers with a single strike. The only explanation was the sword.
The ultimate Projection Magecraft instantly saw through the noble phantasm's true name, and a name from an unusually nostalgic place entered Rin's mind.
chunjun (ancient sword name)!
After this Chinese divine sword was sublimated as a noble phantasm, the ability granted to it by the counter force was 'impenetrable'! Any existence presented in a defensive posture would be instantly broken through; it was a weapon that could only be resisted with offense against offense.
Unfortunately, Gilgamesh clearly couldn't understand the function of every single item in his entire collection. Except for a relatively small portion, the rest were simply used in a projectile manner, thrown before Lancelot, who could utilize any weapon to its utmost, allowing him to pick out the noble phantasm most suitable for dealing with him based on the combat situation.
One couldn't help but feel sorry for him!
No matter if Gilgamesh and Rin were stunned, Lancelot, who easily broke through the obstruction without his steps being delayed at all, wouldn't be stunned. He directly threw the other noble phantasm longsword in his hand towards Gilgamesh, who was less than ten meters away. Even without true name release, an A++ noble phantasm thrown by Lancelot still possessed the power to shatter mountains and destroy cities!
In front of a Heroic Spirit, ten meters and zero distance were almost indistinguishable. However, even with such a powerful strike from Lancelot, it still missed... "Ding!" ^
With a crisp metallic sound, an A++ legendary noble phantasm was forcefully knocked away! At the same time, Gilgamesh used some kind of high-speed movement noble phantasm to retreat a hundred meters. At this moment, Gilgamesh's face held no disdain, no smile, only the seriousness of a warrior entering battle and the raging anger that sought to bury everything!
When Rin clearly saw the weapon that knocked away Lancelot's thrown sword, she instantly gasped, but luckily, she wasn't entirely unprepared. Since she was going to be an enemy of Gilgamesh, she would inevitably have to face this weapon.
"Come back! Berserker!!!" She loudly shouted for Lancelot to retreat, simultaneously activating the only two remaining Command Seals on her left arm.
Didn't he come? Or couldn't he wait? Although I originally only intended to observe the strength of the so-called strongest Heroic Spirit, I wouldn't mind killing you right here!
Even if Gilgamesh's head was under his sword, Lancelot would unhesitatingly obey Rin's command to retreat. At Lancelot's speed, he had already appeared behind Rin before her words even finished.
The magical energy Command Seals were about to unfold. Just as Rin was about to engage in a life-or-death battle with Gilgamesh right here, Gilgamesh suddenly struggled, his eyes fixed on Rin with fury, then unhurriedly turned his direction.
Her gaze turned southeast, in the direction of the Tohsaka Family.
"By the command spells, I, your servant Tohsaka Tokiomi, risk my life to advise you, great King Gilgamesh, please calm your anger and return."
Under the effect of the command spells, the great magic crystal linking the Servant and Master, the flames of anger in Gilgamesh's eyes were forcibly quelled, and he curled his lips in disgust.
"To quell a king's rage with advice mortgaged by life? Hmph, Tokiomi, you're getting bolder and bolder."
The golden armor lost its texture, leaving only some residual light, and dissipated in a cloud of golden dust.
The magic crest, which was about to enter its final activation phase, also dimmed. Rin let out a huge sigh of relief, patting her small chest; her little heart had just leaped out of her throat.
She calmed the surging magic within her and rubbed her throbbing head. Of course, Rin knew it was useless; this was due to soul fatigue from activating the Second Magic as a non-Magician, as she hadn't truly mastered the Second Magic. However, it was better than Illya's direct annihilation using the Heavenly Garment in the Fifth Holy Grail War.
After Gilgamesh withdrew and returned to the Tohsaka Family, the scene fell into silence. All eyes were on Rin, who stood in the center of the battlefield, looking pained as she closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. Although Rin seemed uncomfortable, she showed no signs of fatigue. The unmoving Black Knight cautiously guarded his Master, like a knight protecting his princess.
As for the Fuyuki Port, which served as the battlefield... there was no trace of a port left. Even though the main combat zone was within a hundred meters, the destructive power of the noble phantasms scattered and crashing down was enough to turn the entire port into ruins.
"Crack! Snap! Crackle!..."
A massive cracking sound echoed, and the ground suddenly began to shake violently, gradually tilting.
"An earthquake?"
Irisviel looked around in a panic, standing behind Saber.
Rin looked at the direction of the gradually overturning ground and roughly understood what was happening.
"It seems the vibrations from the battle were too intense, causing the connection between this port and the land to crack. It's probably gradually breaking apart now..."
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a loud sound came from under Rin's feet. A huge crack opened between her feet, and the side facing the sea was gradually tilting towards the ocean... She had caused trouble again! Last night, Rin flattened the Matou Family's backyard with a meteor crater, and Tokiomi probably hadn't even recovered from that headache, and now Fuyuki Port was directly sunk!.
Rin, is it really okay for you to mess with your father like this?!
