Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide
Page 21
Upon hearing the words "mongrel," Shuoyue had already anticipated something, and when he looked up and saw the golden light, the newcomer's identity became undeniable—
Gilgamesh, Tokiomi Tohsaka's Servant.
His true identity is the fifth king of Uruk, a city-state in the early Sumerian dynasty of ancient Mesopotamia, the protagonist of the oldest epic poem in human history, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the oldest "hero king" in human history, possessing divinity that is "two-thirds god and one-third human".
Of course, these words were not spoken aloud. Shuoyue stared intently at the blond man clad in shimmering armor. The imaginary particles dissipated, replaced by the Yin-Yang twin swords tightly gripped in her hand.
Logically speaking, anyone who is seen experimenting with magic would naturally be on guard. However, the golden-haired heroic spirit seemed to be offended, narrowing its red eyes and beginning to exude naked killing intent.
"Not only did they not kneel down to beg for forgiveness, but they even raised their weapons against me? It seems that humanity in this era is truly beyond redemption!"
As soon as Gilgamesh finished speaking, the space around him began to distort like a mirage—and in the next second, gleaming weapons suddenly appeared in the void.
It was a long spear, its decorations breathtakingly beautiful. Moreover, they exuded an undeniable and powerful magic, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary weapon but a sacred artifact.
"Aton for your sins with your death." With this chilling declaration, the spear shot out.
As the enemy forces drew near, Shuoyue was still pondering other matters.
Just as described in the original work, Gilgamesh, as a human, possesses an independent action ability equivalent to A-rank. Such advanced skills allow him not only to maintain his physical form in the real world, but also to transform into Mr. Kim, a kind-hearted citizen, and stroll around Fuyuki City. Therefore, it is not an accident that he bumped into Sakumoku tonight.
Although Gilgamesh is the most powerful Servant in this Holy Grail War, to be honest, the sense of crisis he brings is not as strong as Iskandar's—the reason is simply that Sakumo and Angelica have clashed too many times, and Gilgamesh, who always goes all out, is even more dangerous than Gilgamesh in some aspects.
Thinking this, Shuoyue casually took a step back, perfectly avoiding the bombardment range of the Noble Phantasm.
In the flash of the explosion, the Golden King's expression stiffened for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by killing intent.
"Very well, then continue to please me, you bastard!"
Golden ripples spread around Gilgamesh, revealing a total of eight Noble Phantasms, all swirling with malevolent energy as they were aimed at the white-haired, golden-eyed youth.
Not only swords and guns, but also axes, steel hammers and spears, and even some strange weapons whose purpose and origin are unknown.
All the weapons were polished to a mirror-like shine and contained powerful magic. Each weapon represented a mystical manifestation, in no way inferior... They were all true Noble Phantasms, without exception.
If other Masters were to witness this scene, they would be utterly shocked, because the Noble Phantasms of Heroic Spirits are the manifestation of their legends, super weapons equivalent to a country's nuclear bombs. Even if there are more, three or four would be the limit.
However, this oldest hero-king seems to possess an endless supply of equipment, drawing out his treasures one after another, using them and then discarding them, and none of them are the same.
When this spectacle came into Shuoyue's view, the young man was not shocked or flustered. Instead, he sighed helplessly, as if he had seen a parent showing off a child's toys.
He's used to it.
Out of a desire to conceal her true strength, Shuoyue did not use projection magic to block these weapons in advance, but instead used her newly acquired ability.
The Yin-Yang blades fell, the new moon lowered its eyelids, and white hair was ruffled by the sudden surge of magical energy.
"The night is still, and my shadow will cover the world."
The youth's shadow twisted and lengthened in an instant, transforming into an ominous giant that appeared before Gilgamesh.
As the imaginary particles flowed, the pale-faced youth looked up, his eyes filled with rising negative emotions as he gazed at the golden heroic spirit.

Magic: Shadow of Imaginary Numbers!
Chapter 30 Sweet Dreams
Perhaps because of the reward she received from Sakura, the incantation when Sakura released the Imaginary Number Magic was also related to her.
What are imaginary numbers?
It is possible, but it cannot be materialized.
In the Heaven's Feel route, Sakura is modified by Zouken Matou, and combined with the Holy Grail, she can manipulate shadows made of black mud, even to the point of materializing into a "Shadow Giant".
While the new moon lacks the power of the Black Grail, its intangible and formless deep consciousness, such as negative emotions, is also one of the energy sources for Imaginary Number Magic.
Emiya Shirou's endless resentment and struggling obsession before his death still echo in Sakugetsu's memory.
A huge, invisible phantom was generated, like ink splashed on a canvas, flowing towards that golden hue in the darkness.
"It's nothing but a clown's trick!" With a command from the arrogant king, sixteen Noble Phantasms around him fired simultaneously, piercing through the shadowy figure like bullets and exploding on the bridge.
As the light faded, shadows clung to him like maggots, creeping toward the spot where Gilgamesh stood.
The Shadow of Imaginary Numbers, an existence whose true nature is unknown, is like a mirage that has risen to land. Normal attacks are all useless; one can only wait until the shadow disappears. Gilgamesh in the Heaven's Feel route was devoured by this little trick.
Even though the Imaginary Shadow of the New Moon doesn't have the dimensional reduction attack of the Black Grail, it's still enough to deal with the attack from the Gate of Babylon.
"What...!" The exclamation vanished the instant it was uttered. Gilgamesh pulled back hastily, looked at the steel frame that had been instantly swallowed up, and suddenly turned his head. His fierce eyes pierced the moon like sharp swords, his handsome face frozen by the cold killing intent.
For this king, whether it was losing his composure due to a petty trick or being forced to retreat in the face of a clown's act, it was something unforgivable.
"You really want to die that bad, you mongrel!"
Facing the bone-chilling cold that could crush an ordinary person, Shuoyue responded with a gentle, refreshing smile, her left hand on her chest, toes raised, and right hand exaggeratedly stretched towards the sky, gracefully yet playfully bowing to the sky:
"Well then, my performance tonight is over. Please enjoy a magician's little trick."
Space shifted, and the diamond-shaped door passed through the young man's figure, disappearing completely.
The flames shot into the sky for a moment, then vanished, leaving behind the echoes of the Hero King's roar on the Fuyuki Bridge.
"Don't let me find you, Magician!"
Confirm the anchor point.
Replacement successful.
The diamond-shaped doors opened wide, revealing the figure of the golden-eyed youth, who remained motionless like a sculpture. -Manwuwuman-
After a long while, a long sigh escaped her lips. Shuoyue, as if all her energy had been drained, collapsed onto the bed, her chest rising and falling slightly, clearly still shaken.
In the battle against the Hero King Gilgamesh, he seemed to have the upper hand, taunting everyone before retreating unscathed. However, it was only after the ancient king became completely enraged that Shuoyue realized the difference between Angelica and Gilgamesh.
A lifeless, indifferent, and dull henchman of the Ainsworth family, a killing machine.
He was a king who had experienced the glory of the age of gods, bound the bull of heaven, seized the elixir of immortality, and ruled a nation.
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
The reason why Shuoyue turned around and left without hesitation was that all the imaginary number magic had been tested and she also had to guard against the spying of certain guys; on the other hand, it was also because Gilgamesh's aura was too strong, which made her somewhat eager to fight.
And once you're provoked—
Before drawing the sword Ea, Gilgamesh would be either dead or crippled.
Considering her dwindling lifespan and her meticulously planned future, Shuoyue chose to abandon the Shadow of Imaginary Number and withdraw.
As for whether the Imaginary Shadow will cause harm to Gilgamesh?
This is something we can only dream about.
From the fact that Gilgamesh interfered with the Imaginary Submarine of the New Moon, it can be seen that he definitely possesses a Noble Phantasm that counters the Imaginary Attribute. The attack of the Imaginary Shadow almost injured Gilgamesh, but it was actually more because this King of Heroes made the old mistake of underestimating his opponent.
"As expected, as an opponent, Gilgamesh is much easier to deal with than the Wise King Gilgamesh." Shuoyue sighed, turned over like a dried salted fish, put her arm on her forehead, and planned to take a short rest.
Since the Imaginary Number Magic experiment is over and the Masters of the Holy Grail War haven't all arrived yet, he should spend these last few days with Miyu and Sakura before the war officially begins.
"Knock, knock, knock." The door was knocked carefully, and a girl's cautious voice came from outside.
"Onii-chan, are you asleep?"
With a somersault, Shuoyue sprang out of bed, took a deep breath, a deep breath, a deep breath... and then, pretending to be very calm, opened the door.
Moonlight streamed through the glass window, spilling into the corridor. Miyu, dressed in Matou Sakura's bear pajamas, which added to her charmingly naive appearance, stood before Sakugetsu, her cheeks slightly flushed.
She didn't say anything, but Shuoyue already understood.
"I remember you prefer to stay in the tatami room, Miyu, right? Is it because you're not used to the room that you can't sleep?"
The tatami room is a unique room in traditional Japanese houses. Walking barefoot on the tatami mats made of natural rushes is like wandering in nature.
In the timeline, both the Sakuzuki family and the Emiya family are traditional Japanese-style buildings. For Miyu, this is probably the first time she has experienced such a magnificent and bright Chinese-style room.
"Yes...yes, the room is too big." Seemingly ashamed that she was still afraid to sleep alone, the girl lowered her head, her legs unconsciously rubbing together. "It's a little scary when the lights are turned off at night..."
Shuoyue couldn't help but chuckle softly. Before the girl could run away in embarrassment, he stretched out his arms and scooped up the tiny moon. Amidst gasps of surprise, the brother and sister lay down on the bed.
"Then sleep with me tonight, I will protect you."
"Hmm." Miyu's cheek was pressed against the young man's chest, and after a long while, she made a barely audible response.
The familiar, reassuring scent gently enveloped her once again.
There were still so many things she wanted to say, so many questions she wanted to ask, but in the end, Miyu closed her eyes and drifted into a hazy dream.
Beside her, the young man, who once had red hair but now had white hair, leaned slightly against the headboard, his golden eyes lowered, his gaze towards the girl full of tenderness and doting.
As for the fact that Servants can become spirits... he has already ignored it.
As Shirou, as the new moon, as the elder brother.
Sweet dreams.
Chapter 31: The Story and the Death of Assassin
Two days later, in the morning.
Lancelot
[Character Information]: Lancelot, in his lifetime, was one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur, a great knight known as the "Knight of the Lake" and the "Flower of Knights." His illicit affair with Queen Guinevere led to the destruction of Camelot, making him a symbolic figure of the defeat in the Arthurian legend.
Having received too much honor, he also died with a deep-seated resentment, especially because of his unrequited love and hatred for the King and Queen, forever imprisoned by madness. Seeking to suppress this torment and rekindle that one encounter, the Dark Knight will continue his battle.
[Hidden Information]: Insufficient conditions
Recording conditions
1. Gain Lancelot's approval
2. Defeat Lancelot
3. Liberate Lancelot from madness
“Hmm…” Shuoyue and Yanye stood side by side, while the black-armored knight stood silently in front of them, like a puppet that had not been wound up. Only the tassels on the back of the armor trembled slightly, proving that the knight still had instinctive consciousness.
"The holy swordsman who possessed the sword that was paired with Excalibur, who was adopted and raised by the lake spirits from childhood, and who was known as the flower of knights, never expected that he would fall into such a state."
"You actually know him...!" Even though he was used to Shuoyue's incredible abilities, the fact that the Servant's true name was revealed so easily still made Yan Ye feel uncomfortable.
“Of course, the mastermind behind the split of the Knights of the Round Table, Lancelot the Knight of the Lake. Anyone who has read the Arthurian legends would know him.” As Shuoyue spoke, she tried to draw the sword from Lancelot’s side, but he grabbed her wrist and prevented her from taking another step forward.
