Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 42: The Spear That Pierces Death
That night.

Inside the chapel of Fuyuki Church.

After finishing his daily evening prayers, Yanfeng Li was standing up when he suddenly heard a steady sound of footsteps behind him.

"Father."

The visitor was none other than Kirei Kotomine, the referee of this Holy Grail War. As always, he maintained an indifferent look.

From the day Assassin was summoned, Kirei's supervisory duties as judge had been handed over to Kotomine Risei. He was now primarily responsible for controlling the scope of the Holy Grail War to a certain extent and preventing the spread of the mystery.

"Well, Kirei, are Kallen and Sakura asleep yet?"

Hearing his voice, Kotomine Risei nodded, then turned to look at Kirei who was standing not far away and asked softly.

"He's already asleep." Kirei replied.

"Is that so?" A kind smile appeared on the old priest's face. Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued to ask, "By the way, where did the battle take place tonight?"

"It's in the Einzbern Forest on the outskirts of the city." Without the slightest hesitation, Kotomine Kirei readily replied, "We've already set up a barrier there in advance. Plus, it's a remote location, so the possibility of it affecting innocent people is relatively small."

"Really, that's good..."

Kotomine Risei nodded lightly and sighed. He felt that it was a good thing that the location of this battle was chosen in a suburban forest far away from the city. At least this way it would not cause any serious damage to Fuyuki City.

However, I don’t know when this endless battle of the Holy Grail War will come to an end and usher in a happy ending.

……

At the same time, within the inherent barrier.

The sky is clear and the wind and sand are blowing.

Bah——!
Purple lightning spread its spider-web-like tentacles in the air. A muscular bull pulled the ancient chariot and swooped down with Iskandar's laughter. The direction of the charge was exactly where Gilgamesh was.

Not far away, Finn and Old Sword, who were riding on their horses, also saw the opportunity and jumped up from their galloping horses. The surging magic power was released from their bodies, allowing the two of them to glide in the air at the speed of chasing the wind and lightning.

All the treasures along the way were blown away by the three men's super-high-speed attacks. The swords and magic spears were like three sharp arrows tearing through the air, rushing straight towards Gilgamesh.

"Don't get too carried away, idiots!"

Looking at the joint attack launched by everyone towards him, Gilgamesh's face began to twist, revealing an extremely happy expression. In an instant, dozens of golden ripples appeared around him.

The moment the doors to these treasure houses opened, Iskandar and the other two appeared one after another around the Hero King.

The sword blade and spear tip flashed with cold light and attacked the vital points on Gilgamesh's body.

However, the next moment, the dozens of doors that had been opened earlier suddenly changed their positions, guarding him in an airtight manner, and then strange weapons were released from the door of the treasure house.

boom!
Dozens of treasures suddenly exploded in the void. The powerful impact swept around with Gilgamesh as the center, instantly knocking all three people away.

"Saber, Lancer!"

Although the Shenwei Wheel suffered considerable damage in the explosion just now, it was still able to run normally. Iskandar used his huge body to reach out and grab Old Sword and Finn who were blown away, and brought them into the chariot.

"--pierce!"

Suddenly, a familiar chanting voice was heard from the blue sky.

Hearing this sudden sound, everyone subconsciously looked up.

I saw a silver-haired spearman appear in the air fifty meters above the ground at some point. His figure was like a god descending from heaven, and his right hand raised the scarlet magic spear high above his head.

He wove words from his mouth, calling for the Spear of Karma, and the surrounding space let out a shattering wail at this moment.

"The Deathly Spear——!!!"

Accompanied by a roar, this thunderous blow fell like a meteor piercing the world. This was originally a Noble Phantasm for throwing, but it was a magic spear that could pierce the heart with just a single aim.

A spear of destruction that cannot be dodged, and will pursue its target no matter how many times it is dodged.

The attacks of the three servants just now were just feints. The real killing move was Kamiya Yu's attack that poured all his magic power into it.

It can neither be avoided nor blocked - so it is said to be a must-kill.

The magic spear is approaching.

For nearly a second, the golden king closed his crimson eyes.

Are we going to give up resistance?

Do not!
The sprinting spear of light.

A devastating thorn came from the sky, just as it was about to hit Gilgamesh.

“Law Aias—!”

When the real name is shouted, the atmosphere shakes.

The clash of guns and shields.

The fatal spear, which could not be avoided and penetrated any defense, was blocked by something that appeared out of thin air.

The violent wind and high temperature continuously swept up and scattered the hot sand, while Gilgamesh's "Noble Phantasm" just resisted the attack of the Scarlet Demon Spear.

Seven petals appeared out of nowhere and stood guard in front of Gilgamesh, resisting the magic spear that wanted to take his life.

Its name is the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky. During the Trojan War, it was the only shield of Ajax that blocked the spear thrown by the great hero Hector.

It is shaped like petals, with seven petals in total, and each petal is as big as an ancient city wall.

"boom--!"

At the moment the magic spear came into contact with the bronze shield, a violent explosion sounded, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

After only a short while, the six petals scattered and fell, leaving only the last one.

The speed of the magic spear was also severely slowed down, and it no longer had the same momentum as before when it burst out towards the seventh piece.

"Rider, I'll go first, you guys stay on the sidelines to support me."

On the other side, looking at the shaky magic spear, the ahoge on the old sword head shook slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned to Iskandar and gave instructions.

However, before Iskandar could respond, he jumped off the chariot, landed on the desert, and instantly released the "Wind King Barrier".

A powerful wind pressure was suddenly released, and the old sword's body flew straight towards Gilgamesh like a cannonball.

"Saber..."

Watching the old sword disappear into the distance, Iskandar narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression became serious.

He naturally understood what Saber meant. At the moment, Kamiya Yu's Noble Phantasm could not completely defeat Archer, but the smoke and dust that was raised was a perfect cover.

While Gilgamesh's attention is on Kamiya Yu, Old Sword's surprise attack might yield an unexpected surprise.

Finn and Iskandar, who understood this, immediately accumulated magic power and prepared for the next action.

Gilgamesh's strength was far beyond their imagination. If they could not defeat him today, the final winner of the Holy Grail War could only be this most ancient hero king.
