I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

Golden armor covered his entire body, and countless golden ripples began to appear behind Jill.

Immediately afterwards, the Noble Phantasm rain that Karna had seen once before appeared again!

"That old man interrupted our battle last time, so you'd better let me have my fill this time." Gilles smirked. "Let's begin. Thirty-two D-rank Noble Phantasms, can you handle them?"

Then, the Noble Phantasms transformed into a torrential downpour—!

……

"Aigo, are you really not going to go and support Lancer?" The Silver Knight looked down with some concern.

“No need, Lancer hasn’t even gone all out yet.” Aika Sajou smiled gently.

Moreover, they are merely pawns; as long as His Highness the Prince is not injured—then their sacrifice is acceptable.

Sajou Aika didn't say what she was going to say next.

She knew that such words would displease the upright knight.

The situation below has finally begun to change once again.

……

Under the barrage of Noble Phantasms, Karna's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

As Gilles' Noble Phantasm was struck down by the beam of light, the beam continued its momentum and struck Gilles directly.

Jill reached out, and the Demon Slayer appeared in her hand, slicing the energy beam in two with a single stroke!

Chapter 335 Well done, Hidden

"This is really troublesome, that Noble Phantasm." In the distance, it wasn't just Sajō Ayaka's group observing the battle here.

In the distance, a black-haired man was also observing the situation. He held a pen in his hand and was writing something down. He also occasionally picked up a camera and took pictures in that direction.

"Wow, that's amazing! Are those all magical artifacts?!" the man exclaimed, looking at the images etched onto the camera.

“Assassin, look, that Heroic Spirit who calls himself Saber but whose class is actually unknown is quite powerful…” the man said, biting into his bread. “He’s really interesting.”

"..." The black-clad figure in armor simply gazed silently down below. "Indeed..."

……

"Boom!" Gilles' Gate of Babylon launched a Noble Phantasm that sent up a large cloud of rubble.

Karna could only parry somewhat awkwardly.

In close combat, if you get too close, you will be vulnerable to a close-range counterattack.

Moreover, Karna was somewhat traumatized by that subsonic attack on the stone slab just now.

He didn't doubt that his opponent was confident in severely injuring him, even if he could mitigate 90% of the damage, but...

That's terrible.

Unable to get close enough to their effective attack range, and inferior to their ranged attacks, they will definitely suffer losses if they try to get close in close combat. Once forced out of range, they will definitely be subjected to a barrage of ranged Noble Phantasms.

How to play?

Could it be... that we're going to use that Noble Phantasm?

"Clang!" After deflecting a Noble Phantasm, Karna saw Gilles' attack stop.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to continue?" Karna frowned.

Jill now holds an absolute advantage.

In close combat, he can switch to Berserker or Lancer form at any time to beat Karna up. In ranged combat, he can easily suppress Karna using the Gate of Babylon.

But Jill stopped her attack.

His expression turned somewhat surprised.

"You're lucky!" Jill immediately rushed off in another direction.

At that moment, Karna seemed to receive some kind of order and rushed forward to block Gil's path.

Jill had no time for arguing with him, and simply shouted, "Get out of the way!"

The golden Noble Phantasm transformed into a torrential rain that slammed into Karna.

Karna brandished his spear to defend, but Gilgamesh's anxiety only grew as Karna blocked the attack.

Kusanagi has been targeted by a Servant.

There's no time to lose... They're very close.

Moreover, it seems that the opponent is someone that Kusanagi can handle to some extent, otherwise Kusanagi would have used a Command Spell earlier.

"We can only hope he can hold on a little longer." Jill took a deep breath and then took out a new Class card.

"Dream summons!"

If you want to sustain a battle for a long time, you must take Kusanagi Village into account.

Therefore, Jill typically uses only one Class Card per use.

This time, he used Hercules's Class Card. He wanted to finish the battle quickly and needed to find a way to make Karna lose the power that was chasing him.

So, Jill unleashed her ultimate move right from the start—

"Roar!" Jill drove herself into a berserk state.

He took a step forward, and the massive axe-sword came crashing down on Karna. Karna raised his spear to block, but was completely overwhelmed.

After using the Berserker's Class Card, Gil's Strength increased by a significant level, and when he entered a berserk state, this Strength was unleashed to its fullest potential.

“No… this is not a solution!” Gilles’ eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly retreated in a certain direction, while also reverting to his Saber class.

He chose to retreat quickly, turning into the alley ahead and rushing in.

Karna obeyed his Master's orders and relentlessly pursued Gil.

However, at that moment, flames erupted from the dark alley ahead.

Those were two eerie blue flames.

Karna's pupils suddenly contracted.

His body began to scream—

"Run!"

"will die!"

But Karna, true to his hero nature, stopped in his tracks and looked cautiously at the two eerie blue flames.

The eerie blue flame moved forward, and finally, when the streetlights illuminated its entirety, Karna's pupils contracted sharply.

That's the reaction that occurs when you sense an enemy that could threaten your life.

A tall, black figure clad in armor with menacing spikes, and on his skull helmet, where the eye sockets were, were the same eerie blue flames that Karna had just seen.

"Stop here," the armored figure said. "My contractor has ordered me to stop you here."

"So if you don't want your final bell to ring early—then step down!"

……

On Kusanagi's side, he was calmly—

Run away.

"Damn it!" Kusanagi dodged the alien monster's pounce and used his folding knife to cut off the monster's outstretched hand.

His eyes gleamed with an icy blue light, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead.

His Mystic Eyes of Death Perception continued to activate, and he had been entangled with this irrational monster for more than three minutes.

"It hasn't arrived yet...?" Kusanagi looked at the monster in front of him.

"Why is Berserker here...!"

This monster is Berserker, whose real name is unknown, but his current appearance may be due to a "self-modification skill" mentioned in the notes.

Kusanagi had already summoned Gil, but Gil had not yet arrived.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The alien monster roared as one of its hands was severed off.

"Hey, that hurts, doesn't it—" Kusanagi Kakuzu's lips curled up.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception can see those death lines.

The death line has no distinction between soft and hard; anything, no matter how hard, can be cut along it effortlessly. Even if the body is still active, the part of the death line that has been cut will become necrotic and can never be restored.

If Kusanagi could use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to its fullest extent, he could even conceptually erase a person.

Unfortunately, he can't do it yet.

As his brain throbbed with pain, Kusanagi's expression also changed.

At most once—

He can withstand one more attack from that monster.

He twirled the folding knife in his hand from a reverse grip to a regular grip, performing a knife trick.

If we can block this attack—Saber will be back!

With this almost certain death in mind, he faced the raging monster.

The monster had lost its mind and didn't possess any special abilities, which is why Kusanagi was able to escape from it for a full three minutes and even sever one of its wrists.

"Well done, Hidden."

As this sound rang out.

Countless golden magical artifacts rained down from the sky, pinning the alien monster to the floor.

The golden figure landed in front of him.

That figure was so dazzling...

Kusanagi looked at the king before him and thought to himself.
