A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

The opponent's "natural barrier" seemed to be just like the "Gate of Babylon," leaving him completely helpless.

The only possible solution is to wait until the opponent's magic power is insufficient to maintain the "Underlying Barrier".

However, what is more pressing now is Gilgamesh, who is currently without a Master's mana supply.

Gilgamesh, realizing this, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

"Damn it! How could I possibly lose to a bastard like you!"

The Noble Phantasms rained down like machine gun fire, but they were all blocked by the sword that Shirou had copied.

Clang clang clang—!!!

One after another, the Noble Phantasms shattered, and Shirou charged toward Gilgamesh once more.

As he moved forward, Shirou raised his right hand and casually made a gesture, causing the sword on the wasteland to rise from the ground and fly into his hand.

"Don't think about it!"

Gilgamesh roared, and immeasurable golden ripples transformed into a net that enveloped Shirou.

Then, a large number of Noble Phantasms burst forth in an instant!

Boom boom boom————!!!

Deafening explosions continued one after another, and thick smoke and dust billowed up, obscuring the battlefield.

Irisviel and Saber, who were watching from the back, were both a little nervous at the sight.

"This seems a bit bad... I wonder how Orihara is doing..."

"Irisviel murmured."

"If he were dead, the 'Realistic Marble' should have disappeared immediately, but it doesn't seem to have reached that point yet."

Saber carefully observed and analyzed the battlefield.

Irisviel's eyes widened in surprise: "So that means...!?"

Their gaze fell upon the thick smoke rising from the battlefield ahead.

At this moment, Gilgamesh was staring intently at the center of the smoke.

"Is he dead...?"

Gilgamesh was certain that his attack had indeed hit Shirou, but even so, he still felt uneasy.

"Could it be..."

impossible!

Surrounded by so many of his own Noble Phantasms, that guy should have no chance of resisting.

Furthermore, Gilgamesh has discovered that Shirou has been copying only Noble Phantasms like "swords" from beginning to end.

Upon closer examination, this landscape of the mind is centered around the "sword".

This means that the opponent may only be able to copy the "sword"!

Gilgamesh, whose mind was racing with these thoughts, suddenly realized something and stared intently at the smoke from the explosion.

A figure leaped high into the air, emerging from the smoke, and his voice remained crystal clear amidst the swirling winds.

"The Seven-Layered Heavenly Covering Rings!"

"This again?" Gilgamesh's pupils contracted.

At the same time, seven cherry blossom petals appeared heavily in front of the boy's outstretched left hand as he fell, blocking Gilgamesh's continuous projectiles of his Noble Phantasm.

Then, as Shirou's body plummeted downwards, he raised his other free right hand.

"projection!"

A black sword appeared in his hand; it was the "Yang Sword - Gan Jiang"!

Seeing Shirou's unstoppable downward trajectory, Gilgamesh's expression showed obvious panic.

As an Archer, he lacks sufficient close-combat skills and is no match for an enemy like Shirou, who can gain combat experience directly from his Noble Phantasms.

Without "Ea", it is impossible to defeat this enemy.

The thought involuntarily popped into Gilgamesh's mind.

As the opponent drew ever closer, Gilgamesh gritted his teeth and finally raised his right hand, palm facing Shirou's falling body.

"The Chains of Heaven!"

Click————

The sound of chains echoed from all directions, and a silver wedge shot out rapidly from the golden ripples, piercing Shirou's arm.

"Ugh...!"

Gilgamesh's most treasured Noble Phantasm, "Chains of Heaven," is something he is usually unwilling to use, but in this situation, he has no choice but to use it.

As chains wrapped around his limbs, Shirou's descent suddenly halted, and he was frozen in mid-air.

While the "Chains of Heaven" are more effective against enemies with higher divinity, it does not mean that it is useless against enemies with low divinity.

Seeing that the "Chains of Heaven" had taken effect, Gilgamesh finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment—

"It's not over yet!"

Shirou's sudden voice startled Gilgamesh, and before he could even be surprised, he saw the Noble Phantasms of "swords" falling all around him.

Upon seeing this, Gilgamesh's pupils suddenly contracted.

At the same time, he also heard Shirou's voice immediately afterward.

"Fantasy Collapse!"

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The blood of kings must end with the sword.

Blood splattered in the air as Gilgamesh, covered in wounds, was sent flying backward.

Because Gilgamesh was severely injured, the Chains of Heaven that bound Shirou loosened at this moment. Shirou manipulated the sword on the wasteland, flicked the chains away, and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Gilgamesh was struggling to get up, glaring at Shirou with gritted teeth.

"I have to admit... you're stronger now!"

"In that case, get out of here!"

Samurai

Lang didn't give his opponent any more chances, and rushed forward without hesitation, swinging his sword at Gilgamesh.

At this point, it was too late to use the speed of the "Gate of Babylon" to project it, so Gilgamesh could only reach out and take out a longsword.

clang----!

In the next exchange, Gilgamesh, who was holding the sword with one hand, immediately felt the force of Shirou's sword strike, which made his arm go numb. He had no choice but to hold the sword with both hands to barely defend himself.

"If I were facing a Servant who excels in close combat, I probably wouldn't even have a chance to use 'Realm Barrier,' but if it's you, with my sword prepared beforehand, I can seize the initiative!"

Upon hearing Shirou's words during the standoff, Gilgamesh's face contorted with rage.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"

The King of Heroes brandished his sword and slashed at Shirou.

However, in close combat, Gilgamesh, as an Archer, was no match for Shirou. With just his second slash, Shirou found an opening and knocked his weapon away!

The next moment, in the instant his body briefly lost its balance, the black sword pierced through his body.

"I never imagined... I would be killed by a bastard..."

In that instant, the boundless wasteland vanished, the world crumbled, and space shattered.

The gentle breeze, unique to the night, once again brushed against Shirou's cheeks, ruffling his red hair.

Gilgamesh had already vanished into specks of light before Shirou's eyes.

"Phew...it's finally over."

With the departure of the King of Heroes, Shirou, somewhat exhausted, lay back on the grass, gazing up at the starry sky, which had remained completely silent throughout, with countless stars constantly twinkling with brilliant starlight.

The boyish form he maintained also vanished at this moment, because the magical power within him had been completely depleted by the terrifying consumption of 'Unlimited Blade Works'.

Shirou, who didn't want to move an inch, suddenly heard Saber's somewhat panicked exclamation.

"Irisviel!"

Shirou sat up and glanced towards Saber.

It turned out that Irisviel's body was already finding it difficult to bear the burden of accepting the soul of another Servant.

Even though "Avalon" is constantly working to heal her body, "Avalon" can only unleash its full power in Saber's hands.

Irisviel, already struggling to hold on, collapsed into Saber's arms.

However, he has not lost consciousness and has not fallen into a deep sleep.

Shirou approached the two and spoke to Saber, who was anxious and flustered because she wanted to help Irisviel but didn't know how.

"Her body is the Lesser Grail, which was originally created by the Einzberns to bring out the Greater Grail. Now, it only needs the souls of one or two Servants to be fully activated."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, a sorrowful expression immediately appeared on Saber's face.

"How could this happen... No, Irisviel... I..."

For Saber, her best friend in this world is Irisviel.

Now, however, she is about to lose her because of the Holy Grail, a situation that Saber finds hard to accept.

If she wants to obtain the Holy Grail, she must defeat the other Servants, but if she does so, Irisviel will eventually perish.

Watching helplessly as the lives of those you want to protect slowly come to an end—this tragedy has been repeated once again.

"I...can't do anything..."

Saber gripped Excalibur tightly in his hand. The holy sword seemed to sense its master's sorrow, and even its golden light dimmed slightly.

Looking at Saber like this, Shirou sighed softly and said to her.
