I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

"This is……"

"Anyway, let's go train!" Gil raised his foot and kicked Emiya in the butt.

"It hurts!"

……

So it's still the same place as yesterday.

"Hmm... how are you feeling?"

"...Um...I don't feel anything."

"..." Then Jill fell silent, and then golden ripples lit up.

"Then go and experience it for yourself!"

Without a word, Gilles activated the Gate of Babylon, unleashing a barrage of Noble Phantasms like raindrops!

"Trace on!" Emiya Shirou immediately used projection magic to begin parrying the barrage of Noble Phantasms.

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously, and Shirou Emiya was somewhat surprised to find that he was using projection magic with exceptional skill this time.

Each parry seemed to anticipate the direction from which the Noble Phantasm would fly, easily blocking all of them.

“Hehe…isn’t this great…” Jill raised her hand. “Just a little bit more.”

More golden ripples unfolded, and the rain of Noble Phantasms became even denser!

"Ugh!" At that moment, Shirou Emiya seemed to be electrocuted.

So he raised his hand—

Seeing this, Jill stopped what she was doing.

"体は剣で出ている(This body is the bone of the sword)"

The blood flow is like black iron, and the heart is as fragile as glass.

A few battles without defeat (after countless battles without defeat)

ただのOnce もFailed はなく, ただの once もUnderstanding されない(Never lost once, never been understood)

He is always standing on the top of the sword hill and is intoxicated with victory.

Therefore, life means nothing (therefore, this life has no meaning)

その体は、きっと剣で出ていた(Then his body is destined to be born with a sword)!

Unlimited Blade Works!

As the chanting began, the surrounding scenery changed.

"Finally got it working..." Jill grinned. "It's faster than I expected, but it's just a little different."

The gears that Jill remembered were nowhere to be seen in the sky; only the setting sun remained.

"Phew... This is... a Reality Marble?!" Rin Tohsaka, who was watching the battle, couldn't sit still and exclaimed in surprise.

A Reality Marble is a magical artifact that materializes one's own mental landscape. Once activated, it transforms the surrounding space into a completely different landscape.

The manifestation of mental landscapes, that is, the inherent boundary that replaces oneself and the world while maintaining the same realm. At this point, the size of oneself and the world is swapped, and the world is completely confined to a small container. This small world is the world egg, which also becomes the name of the theory.

This magic trick is a subgenre of "Imaginary Manifestation," and is considered by the Mage's Association to be the closest magic to real magic.

In Rin Tohsaka's mind, Shirou Emiya was just a third-rate magician.

The fact that they've used something like this is absolutely jaw-dropping.

“Don’t be surprised. Shirou Emiya has this potential. I just let him acquire this ability ahead of time.” Gilles smiled as he looked at Shirou Emiya.

Shirou Emiya is currently wearing a red and black outfit. If you look closely, you can see that this outfit is somewhat similar to Archer's, except that Shirou Emiya's right arm is sleeveless and he is wearing a headscarf.

Jill snapped her fingers, and all the golden ripples vanished instantly.

"Shirou Emiya, how are you feeling?"

"That's wonderful! Thank you so much!" Emiya Shirou bowed deeply.

“Don’t rush, the real training is about to begin… He and I… actually, if we had to say, we could be considered the same person, so our fighting styles are extremely similar.” Gilles looked at Shirou Emiya. “What you need to do next is fight me seriously! Of course, you don’t need to worry about those ladies over there, Rider, Berserker, and Saber will protect them.”

Jill raised her hand. "Ready?"

"Ah, come on!"

……

night.

"Ugh...so tired." She stretched vigorously.

Shirou Emiya lay on his bed, thinking about what Gil had said after training that afternoon.

"That guy has some strange magical artifacts, so we must be careful."

"What... This is really confusing." Emiya Shirou rolled over.

"Is tomorrow...the final battle?"

……

"...What's wrong, Ilya?" Gil asked, patting Ilya's little head as she ran over.

"...Little brother...are you leaving soon?" Ilya asked.

“…Is that so?” Gilles replied. “After this Holy Grail War is over, I’m going back.”

"Then...can we still meet?" Ilya asked.

"Hmm... I think it should be okay," Jill gave a somewhat vague answer.

"So... is Berserker going back too?" Ilya asked.

“Well… but Ilya, I have something to tell you.” Gil drew Ilya closer to his ear.

Ilya did as she was told and put her ear close to the door.

Jill spoke in a low voice, and Ilya's eyes widened.

"……Really?"

“…Yes, it’s true.” Gil nodded. “So while I’m gone, let Shirou Emiya take care of you. Even though he’s a pushover, he won’t treat you badly.”

"Hmm... okay..."

Finally, Ilya said with a reluctant expression.

Seeing this, Jill couldn't help but reach out and pinch Ilya's cheeks. "Okay, stop making that face. Smile more."

"……roar!"

"Hey! Heracles, you bastard! Stop it right now! I didn't bully Ilya! Listen to me properly!"

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Final Battle Begins!

The fifth day of the Holy Grail War.

Jill exhaled, and magic flowed slowly through her body.

"...Emiya, what's wrong?" Gilgamesh sensed that the figure behind him seemed a little nervous, so he asked.

"No... I'm a little nervous..." Shirou Emiya found Gilles' question a bit strange, but he still answered honestly.

"Do you remember how long Unlimited Blade Works lasted during your battle yesterday?" Jill asked.

"About ten minutes."

“You’re overestimating yourself. Your Reality Marble can only last seven minutes.” Gilles glanced at Shirou Emiya, who looked somewhat embarrassed, and continued, “Remember… time is limited, so finish this quickly!”

"If we can't finish this quickly, at least make things difficult for him. Ultimately, your own safety is the most important thing," Jill instructed.

“But I always feel like I’ve forgotten something.” Jill scratched her head and stimulated her Omniscient and Omnipotent Star with her mental power.

The image appeared before her eyes, and Jill curled her lip.

I almost forgot about that clown from the Matou family... I'll go chop him up later.

Hmm... but this guy... has pretty good luck.

I actually ran into that guy.

Jill clicked her tongue in slight displeasure.

“We’re about to leave. That guy’s at Ryudo-ji Temple,” Gil said.

"Is everything alright? If things go according to your plan, that guy..."

“Well… as long as you don’t let him take out that Noble Phantasm… you still have a chance.” Gilles pulled up his collar. “I’ll take care of completely eliminating the evil of this world.”

"So, does that guy have any weaknesses?"

"I'm about the same as you, I don't have any weaknesses."

Gilles replied, "Although I'm very annoyed, I have to admit that he is indeed an absolute powerhouse on the Throne of Heroes. Because he has such a collection of Noble Phantasms, it would be rather strange if there were any Heroic Spirits that he couldn't deal with."

However, there are also guys who don't get along with him.

Gilles glanced at Shirou Emiya, then turned away without a word. "We should go."

The destination is Ryudong Temple.

That place was where their final battle would take place.

Jill looked into the distance.

……

"Kirei, if you dare to interfere in today's battle... I will not let you off lightly." Gilgamesh, sitting on the sofa and swirling his wine glass, stared at Kirei Kotomine, who was dressed in a black priest's robe, and said.

"I see……"

Kirei Kotomine couldn't stop smiling.

Little did he know, someone was already aiming at him from afar.

"...Hmph...Die." Gilles, bow drawn tighter, fixed his gaze on his target—
