Chapter 250 Fierce Battle, Fighting from the Ground to the Sky (First Release, Later Edited)

Among the seven classes in the Holy Grail War, the Caster class is also one that is difficult to win.

Well, except for Solomon.

Caster ended up in this predicament because of an ability possessed by the vast majority of Servants: 'Magic Resistance'.

Thanks to their magical abilities, Saber, Archer, and Lancer classes can all be immune to magic effects to some extent.

Furthermore, the higher their level of magical resistance, the higher the level of magic they are immune to.

For example, Artoria possesses A-rank magic resistance that can nullify magic circles and instant contract magic.

Therefore, modern magicians are basically unable to harm her.

No matter how grand the magic trick, magic below Grade A will be nullified.

It should be noted that A-level grand magic is already an extremely powerful magic.

Comparing Noble Phantasms in the same category, which A-rank artillery Noble Phantasm lacks destructive power?
However, A-rank Noble Phantasms are stronger than A-rank magic.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to defeat a Servant of the Three Knights' caliber simply by relying on magic.

Unless it's someone like Solomon who's a cheat code.

But just now, Medea used magic not to kill Gilgamesh; she wasn't that arrogant.

Gilgamesh's treasury lacks nothing, so naturally it wouldn't lack equipment that provides immunity or defense against magic.

But the key to Medea's magic just now was the stone pillar that rose from the ground.

Gilgamesh's fighting style is to continuously fire his Noble Phantasms.

He only needs to stand still.

Unlike other Archers, they don't need to move around and shoot.

Therefore, Medea's magic was to prevent Gilgamesh from doing his own thing with ease.

Whether it's opening the Gates of Babylon or summoning Ea.

None of these things could be accomplished easily by him.

Like this moment.

Medea destroyed the analysis of the Ea sword before it could be completed.

Gilgamesh, who was suddenly attacked by magic, was also unable to maintain his Gate of Babylon.

At this moment, Artoria and Lancelot had already reached the stone pillar where Gilgamesh was, while Medea, seeing this from afar, immediately destroyed the rising stone pillar, waiting for Gilgamesh to fall.

This is already a dead end in some sense.

When the distance between them is increased, Gilgamesh's strength seems to have no upper limit.

But once he gets close, he can't even beat Shirou Emiya.

Moreover, waiting for him below were two top knights, Artoria and Lancelot.

Once Gilgamesh falls, his game will come to an end.

But that's on the condition that he falls behind.

And coincidentally, Gilgamesh did indeed have a way to change free fall.

When the thunder and storm subsided, the sky became clear again.

At this moment, the soldiers who were charging forward all stopped, including Iskandar.

They all gazed silently at the sky, where a warship was floating.

"Hahaha, a bunch of tiny insects dare to admire the king's glory!"

"That's practically suicide!"

After a loud laugh, Gilgamesh turned coldly toward the crowd below.

Then ripples appeared around his ship, followed by the release of numerous Noble Phantasms that fell freely like raindrops.

In the blink of an eye, the soldiers on the ground suffered a heavy blow.

In response, some soldiers organized their troops to fire arrows into the sky, but Gilgamesh was at too high an altitude, and even though these soldiers were all Servants, their rain of arrows could not reach the ship.

Although some skilled archers could hit the ships in the sky, they only managed to hit the ships.

But they just couldn't bring themselves to destroy that ship.

"Is that Vimana?"

Standing at the back with Webber and Irisviel, Fu Le looked up at the ships in the sky and chuckled softly.

Vimana is a flying vehicle described in the two great ancient Indian epic poems, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

That is the Heavenly Throne, a radiant vessel made of gold and emeralds that can soar through the sky. It is powered by solar energy generated from a mercury-fueled solar crystal, enabling it to fly at high speeds, defying the laws of physics.

Furthermore, it possesses formidable offensive capabilities, is equipped with various treasure systems, and even boasts excellent weapons such as ancient nuclear warheads.

In Fu Le's memory, Gilgamesh, who became a Shadow Servant in "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya", piloted Vimana to Mount Enzo and then dropped an ancient nuclear warhead downwards.

Although that ancient nuclear warhead cannot be compared with modern nuclear weapons in terms of power.

But its power is still enough to flatten a mountain.

"Vimana!?"

Hearing Fu Le's mutterings, Irisviel and Weber, who were also familiar with Hindu mythology, both looked frightened.

They never expected that Gilgamesh's treasury contained even such a thing.

In fact, not only did they not know, but even Tokiomi Tohsaka, Gilgamesh's Master, did not know.

At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kirei Kotomine, and Rie Kotomine were on Vimana, looking down at the scenery below. The dramatic change in their feelings overwhelmed them.

Just now, whether it was Medea's magic or Iskandar's tens of thousands of soldiers before that.

These things broadened their horizons.

This is especially true now.

It must be said that the Fourth Holy Grail War was indeed the closest Tokiomi Tohsaka ever came to victory.

In the original story, if he hadn't worried that Gilgamesh's high profile would attract attacks from other Servants, and thus forcibly twisted Gilgamesh's will with a Command Seal, Gilgamesh would definitely have won the final victory with his combat power.

Well, unless Artoria retrieves her sword sheath.

Artoria, having retrieved her sword sheath, was indeed fierce and powerful enough.

Before acquiring ownership of Artoria, Fu Le dared not let Artoria take back her scabbard.

Just as Gilgamesh continued to look down and kill all the soldiers on the ground, a rain of fire suddenly fell from the sky.

At the same time, the storm swept across the land once again, and thunder roared across the sky once more.

At this moment, others could hardly attack Gilgamesh, but Medea's magic could.

Although Gilgamesh himself possessed magical powers and had equipment that granted him immunity to or blocked magic, the Vimana that carried him did not have these capabilities.

Medea only needs to change her target to Vimana and destroy him.

And that's exactly what he was doing at that moment.

"What a persistent woman!"

Gilgamesh cursed angrily at the strange occurrences around him.

At this point, he had not yet completed the analysis of the Divergent Sword, and was not yet able to unleash a strike that could turn the tide of the battle.

Therefore, he needs to buy time.

"Destroy this place first!"

Gilgamesh immediately made a judgment.

The next moment, a golden light was thrown out from below Vimana and then fell freely to the ground.

"Get out of the way!"

Upon seeing this, Weber immediately shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Iskandar chose to trust Weber's judgment without hesitation.

"Retreat! Get away from that golden light!" Iskandar immediately shouted the order.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers in the king's army began to retreat, but the golden light in the sky moved even faster.

And beneath that golden light, Artoria and Lancelot were still there.

Seeing that it was too late to retreat, Iskandar immediately deactivated the Gate of Babylon.

When entering and exiting the Gate of Babylon, Iskandar could choose the location. With this slight shift, Artoria and Lancelot both arrived at the edge of the golden light.

Meanwhile, Medea, who had already set up a magic array outside, used magic to protect the group.

But this also means that the ancient nuclear warhead landed in Fuyuki City, on the ruins of the former Holy Church.

"boom!"

The intense light briefly captured everyone's attention.

When they regained their sight, what came into view was a huge crater.

That was the land destroyed by Vimana.

Artoria and Lancelot, who were just on the edge, were also affected and suffered serious injuries.

Seeing this, Irisviel and Kariya Matou both began to heal the two.

Artoria and Lancelot's injuries were healing rapidly.

But they were not at all at ease at this moment.

Because high in the sky, the Sword of Divergence has already completed its analysis of the world.

This means that Gilgamesh is now able to use the sword that split the heavens and the earth.

This was all intelligence that Fu Le had given them.

And the intelligence that Fu Le had given them before had never been wrong.

Therefore, they were absolutely certain of this intelligence, which raised their vigilance to the limit.

"No matter what, we must destroy the ship Gilgamesh is on first!"

Iskandar said in a deep voice.

Artoria and Medea both nodded.

"In that case, let's use all our trump cards, Caster!"

"Yes, Master!"

Medea couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly upon hearing this.

As she stretched out her palm, beams of light rose one after another from the edge of Fuyuki City, enveloping the entire city.

After rising straight into the air, these beams of light began to converge towards a single point in the center.

For a moment, it was as if a birdcage had enveloped Fuyuki City.

Then, various magic circles appeared one after another, eventually combining to form a super-large magic circle that covered the entire city of Fuyuki.

This was one of the trump cards that Fu Le and Medea had prepared.

Since Fu Le has enough magic and Medea has enough skill, why can't they go all out?

Thus, this enormous magic circle covering the entire city of Fuyuki was created.

Perfecting the magic circle bit by bit was also one of Medea's tasks.

Otherwise, with her abilities, what magic trick could take her so long?
After the magic circle appeared, thin beams of light descended from the sky.

There were probably over 100,000 rounds of that densely packed fire at a glance.

These are all magic bullets with extremely high concentrations.

At this moment, they all shot towards Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh in the sky was immediately greeted by a bullet hell game.

He continuously piloted Vimana to dodge the demonic bullets coming from all directions, and constantly fired his Noble Phantasms to destroy them.

But there were just far too many of these magic bullets.

Gilgamesh ultimately had to prioritize avoidance.

The feeling of hovering between life and death excited Gilgamesh for a moment.

However, the three passengers on the same Vimona were not so excited.

Their expressions visibly showed panic.

Meanwhile, Medea on the ground had closed her eyes and was completely absorbed in the bullet hell game.

In addition to using magic bullets to shoot Gilgamesh down, she also had to be careful that the magic bullets wouldn't fall to the ground and cause casualties among the residents.

Simultaneously manipulating over 100,000 magic bullets, even Medea was drenched in sweat at this moment.

Meanwhile, Artoria, Lancelot, and Iskandar were running on the ground.

They followed closely behind Vimana, waiting for Gilgamesh to fall.

Finally, after several minutes of dodging, Gilgamesh made a mistake.

Vimana was then hit by a magic bullet.

As a signal, the magic bullets continued to hit the Vimana piloted by Gilgamesh, and the Vimana was completely destroyed in a short time.

And so Gilgamesh began to fall from the sky.

"Phew, we finally took him down."

Medea let out a deep breath.

Gilgamesh's driving skills are simply too amazing.

It took her so long to hit me!

After destroying Vimana, Medea withdrew the magic circle from the sky.

Operating this enormous magic circle is extremely mentally taxing.

After a few minutes, Medea was exhausted.

But she has already completed her task, and now it's up to Saber and the other two.

It wasn't that she was being lazy, but rather that she simply couldn't be effective when dealing with Gilgamesh.

Although she had set up this magic circle that covered almost the entire city of Fuyuki in order to deal with the Three Knights, so that she could exert enough deterrence even when facing the Three Knights, and would not be helpless against their magic resistance.

However, his magic was ineffective against Gilgamesh.

Because there's no need to even think about it; Gilgamesh must have items that grant immunity to or block magic, and those things are far more useful than magic resistance.

Therefore, Medea's targets were Gilgamesh's tools.

Because he knew that attacking Gilgamesh would have absolutely no effect.

If that's the case, then she doesn't need to go and join in the fun at all.

All she needs to do is silently observe the upcoming battles and lend a hand when the time is right.

As for that magic circle?
Let's keep it for Artoria.

As for Iskandar?
After seeing that thing, there was no way he could fight Medea in Fuyuki City.

When the fighting breaks out, the king's army will definitely be in the middle.

Besides, Iskandar's magic resistance isn't that strong, so we might not even need that to deal with him.

Only Saber, with her terrifyingly high magical power, is ultimately qualified to enjoy that thing.

"I hope you won't make me use it, Artoria!"

Medea thought to herself.

After all, according to her and Fu Le's plan, they wouldn't need to fight Artoria!
