Karna's "Undying Blade" swiftly twirled, slicing through the air with golden spear light.
"I will surely offer you the spoils of war. I swear by this spear, I swear by this body (armor)!"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Brahma, curse my body!
As Karna leaped into the air, he was able to control a massive amount of magical energy to fly thanks to the effect of his unique skill "Magic Release (Flame)".
Now, his entire body is covered in fiery red flames, and no matter what move he uses, even a simple close-quarters combat will be imbued with the burning effect of the flames.
This was the inherent skill he acquired as the son of the sun god Surya.
"My spear is my body!"
As Karna shouted this, the golden spear in his hand, "The Undying Blade," also burst into fiery red flames.
The magical energy in the atmosphere surged wildly toward Karna, transforming into endless crimson flames that burned fiercely.
As the grip on the Noble Phantasm "Undying Blade" suddenly increased, the flames attached to the golden spear grew even more intense.
"Brahma, curse my body!"
As Karna hurled the "Undying Blade," the spear, trailing a golden streak, pierced the sky and shot towards the sea monster's body like a falling meteor.

Deep within the sea monster's body, Caster, who was observing his surroundings, was also speechless when he saw the golden spear covered in flames descending from the sky.
"What terrifying power... Is this guy really that strong...!?"
Caster was initially very confident in the sea monster he had summoned, but upon witnessing the power displayed by Karna, he couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of panic.
Just as Caster was horrified, a terrifying magical power suddenly spread outwards in an explosive manner!
boom----! ! !
Under the raging flames, a large amount of seawater was evaporated, and the body of the sea monster summoned by Caster was completely destroyed before it could regenerate in the flames!
Caster, who was at the center of the explosion, had no way to escape and eventually gave up struggling, silently watching what lay ahead.
In the moments before his demise, he seemed to see within that light...
A blonde figure appeared.
"Joan of Arc..."
Before he could finish speaking, Caster was enveloped in light, and a crimson heat surged up and engulfed him.
This attack reached the power of an A-rank Noble Phantasm, and with the enhancement of Karna's inherent skill "Magic Release (Flame)," it reached an A+ rank power.
Rider, Archer, Saber, and others who were gathered at Einzbern Castle all saw the mushroom cloud that suddenly rose, and the city, which was shrouded in night, was briefly brought back to daylight by the bright fire.
The crimson lotus flames that broke through the thick fog left an incredibly deep impression on everyone.
Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was in the underground workshop of the Tohsaka residence, also learned about this through Kirei Kotomine, and couldn't help but frown.
The power that Wei Yuanchuan unleashed definitely possessed the might of an A-rank Noble Phantasm!
"This kind of power would require a considerable amount of setup and a large number of people even a magician would need to achieve, yet someone was able to unleash it in such a short time... It could only be the work of a Heroic Spirit."
Muttering to himself, Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't help but stand up.
"Who is it...?"
……
As Caster and the sea monsters he summoned were defeated by Karna, scattered flames drifted across the night sky.
"Caster has been dealt with, so now there are only six Servants left. Excluding my side, there are only five left."
Shirou quickened his pace and headed towards Einzbern Castle.
"I wonder if Assassin has been dealt with yet..."
He is now going to check on the situation of Saber's camp.
"If I don't go, I'll feel really bothered by it."
As Shirou murmured to himself, he soon spotted the forest.
Go straight west from the bustling streets of Fuyuki City for about thirty kilometers.
There is an east-west national highway that runs through remote, sparsely populated mountains far from villages.
On both sides of this national highway is a dense forest, an area that seems to have been forgotten by the large-scale land development boom.
This land may be state-owned, but according to the land registry, it belongs to a foreign-invested enterprise. However, it is uncertain whether this foreign-invested enterprise actually exists.
If we were to investigate this land, the first thing that would be perplexing would be this mysterious urban legend.
Legend has it that deep within this dense forest lies a "mythical city".
A group of children, half playing and half adventuring, entered the forest, along with a lost hiker. They saw an ancient city suddenly appear in the mist, a magnificent castle built of stone.
The castle was uninhabited, resembling an abandoned city, yet it was fully equipped and well-organized, giving one the illusion that someone actually lived there.
It is said to be an extremely bizarre ancient city.
Of course, no one would believe this legend. At best, it was just a story told in a summer ghost story special by a third-rate magazine that was struggling to find news material, using a single page.
Only a handful of magicians know that this castle is real.
This castle only welcomes an owner who enters the castle to participate in the war every sixty years. In short, it is a magical castle.
The castle is shrouded in multiple layers of illusion and magical barriers, and will never be revealed except in extremely rare circumstances.
This is a strange space, and those who know of the castle's existence call this dense forest the "Einzbern Forest".
At that time, the Holy Grail War was being held in Fuyuki City, and Yubusta Kuhaid, the patriarch of the Einzbern family, felt that it was inappropriate to establish a base in the direct territory of their arch-rival, the Tohsaka family.
Therefore, he made full use of his family's wealth to buy out the spiritual vein land closest to Fuyuki City, as the base of the Einzbern family.
That was on the eve of the Third Holy Grail War, which also happened to be the tense period before the outbreak of World War II.
This vast primeval forest was shrouded in a barrier, completely isolated from the outside world. The Einzbern family moved all of their original castles into this forest.
This demonstrates the immense wealth of the Einzbern family and their extraordinary dedication to the pursuit of the Holy Grail.
The Tohsaka family was considered quite wealthy in Fuyuki, but they were nothing compared to the Einzbern family.
"This must be the place..."
The air was slightly stuffy as Shirou stepped closer to the castle, which looked quite historic from the outside.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Desiring to Wear the Crown
When Shirou arrived at the castle courtyard, it seemed that the event was just coming to an end.
Rider was sheathing a sword, while Gilgamesh also shifted his gaze from Saber, gave Shirou a deep look, and then disappeared in golden light.
Rider, however, looked at Shirou with considerable interest.
"Oh, you've just had another guest? Please go and greet them."
"I'll be going now."
As he said this, Rider grabbed Webber by the back of his shirt, who had somehow become stunned, and casually tossed him onto the chariot like a chick.
Accompanied by lightning and rolling thunder, Rider rode the "Divine Wheel" away from the sky.
Seeing Rider leave so decisively, Shirou couldn't help but suspect that the other party had already used "King's Army" here once.
Saber seemed completely unaware of Shirou's arrival, staring blankly into space with a disappointed look in her eyes.
"Saber..."
Irisviel stepped forward, wanting to say something, but in the end, she could only remain silent.
Kiritsugu Emiya's death had already filled her with grief, so she had no capacity to comfort others.
However, it's not difficult to simply ask her what happened earlier.
Shirou asked Irisviel for details and finally confirmed that what had just happened here was exactly as he had expected.
The Three Kings' Banquet: A Battle of Wise Rulers – Two Tyrants and One Wise Ruler.
In the end, the outnumbered and weak Saber was attacked by the group.
However, Iskandar the Conqueror's words struck a chord with Saber, leaving her feeling somewhat lost.
In Shirou's view, this so-called King's Party was completely meaningless.
It's pointless to discuss kings from different eras and backgrounds.
Because each of them is a unique king.
Iskandar the Conqueror, a tyrant, swept across every inch of the Mediterranean Sea with his desires, constantly plundering for wealth, women, power, and glory.
However, for a king, there is far more to be achieved in a lifetime than this.
His greed and desires far surpassed those of the ants he trampled on as he conquered the land.
Greed, desire, and reality.
And an unending quest for supremacy.
Just as the sun burns eternally, it has itself become an immortal legend.
The land traversed by their iron cavalry became an immortal legend, and the Macedonian Empire became the most dazzling name of that era.
This deeply passionate and passionate ruler created a hegemony and an era. He himself was like an endless sea, becoming a legend in history and in people's hearts.
Gilgamesh, the 'Hero King', since his birth, as a king of mixed human and divine blood, has held positions on both sides, and his perspective differs from that of humans or gods.
A-type flash is between humans and gods, but leans towards gods; C-type flash is between humans and gods, but leans towards humans.
Therefore, A-Flash became king as an existence above humanity, which is very different from the monarchs in history who were just human beings.
Based on this, A-Flash developed an idea that differed from the traditional image of a monarch: to pursue the achievements of humanity.
For A-Flash, although humans are foolish, the items and civilization they create still have value.
He was a tyrant whose oppressive rule caused unbearable suffering to the people of Uruk, yet he still worried about them.
From other people's perspectives, this is a very inexplicable thing.
However, from Gilgamesh's perspective, which lies between humans and gods, it is not so incredible.
In that era, he was born with the identity of a guardian of humanity, and it was the king's duty to build civilization on this planet.
