Kitagawa Yu originally intended to have Tohsaka Tokiomi use Command Spells to force Gilgamesh to commit suicide, just like Kenneth forced Diarmuid to do so.
However, Artoria felt that such a way of dying was not in line with the status of a king. In addition, with just one Command Seal, it was not possible to make Gilgamesh commit suicide. So she gave up the idea and instead teleported Gilgamesh into the trap they had set up, and then they ganged up on him and killed him.
Yes, that's quite fitting for the way a king dies. After all, a true king should die surrounded by a group of enemies, right?
What is Gilgamesh doing at this moment?
He was treating Kirei Kotomine.
Kirei Kotomine, who was originally severely injured by the ripples of his Heaven and Earth Divergence Star, has now fully recovered thanks to the magic potion he just retrieved from the treasury.
Then Gilgamesh began to seduce Kirei Kotomine, wanting him to kill Tokiomi Tohsaka himself, just like in the original story, and then become Tokiomi's Master in his place.
"Kiri, you are not actually without feelings. On the contrary, under the long-term suppression, your feelings are more intense than anyone else's!"
"Think about it carefully, is your attention to Kiritsugu Emiya really just because of Tokiomi Tohsaka's orders?"
"Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya's painful past experiences and his countless 'cold choices,' you actually felt a sense of pleasure, didn't you?"
Gilgamesh was teaching Kirei Kotomine his theory of pleasure, and Kirei's eyes flickered, clearly showing that he was somewhat interested.
But before he could even make a deal with Kirei Kotomine, he suddenly vanished in a flash, and in the next instant, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.
If it were just an unfamiliar environment, it wouldn't be so bad, but before he could even get a good look at his surroundings, a pair of purplish-red eyes appeared in his line of sight.
A strong sense of crisis washed over him, and he immediately wanted to draw the Ea sword and launch an attack, but it was too late.
The moment their eyes met, his body was petrified, and then Medusa swung her Undead Blade and severed his head.
Glittering gold! Send it!
However, this time it's different from the previous side quests where he always died from arrogance and carelessness. This time, even if he was on guard, it wouldn't matter.
Without the ability to see into the future, he had no chance of escaping the deadly trap set by his Master, Tokiomi Tohsaka, in collaboration with Yu Kitagawa.
"Such a powerful king has died just like that," Artoria sighed inexplicably.
Perhaps Gilgamesh hadn't had a chance to flirt with her like in the original storyline. Apart from his foul language and arrogance, her impression of Gilgamesh wasn't too bad.
Especially Gilgamesh's strength, which is undoubtedly the strongest among all her enemies.
It's a bit of a pity for Kitagawa Yu, though. Even though Gilgamesh has been temporarily taken into the Lesser Grail by Matou Sakura, he still can't control him.
At the same time, due to Gilgamesh's death, the Angel Sword, which Lancelot had previously seized, transformed into a golden starlight and returned to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.
"With Avenger Assassin Caster and Gilgamesh, four Servants have now been defeated and eliminated."
"Once we have defeated that conqueror king, my king, please grant me the punishment I have earned!"
Lancelot ignored Tokiomi Tohsaka, put away his "No Regrets" gaze, and spoke to Artoria.
Although Artoria felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this, she still nodded, for this was Lancelot's wish.
"Alright, don't be so serious. Lancelot will just return to the Throne of Heroes even if he dies, he's not really dead." Kitagawa Yu took Artoria's hand and comforted her with a smile.
"In my opinion, Heroic Spirits are just another form of life. Only when consciousness completely disappears is it true death~"
"Thank you, Master!" Artoria thought for a moment, then felt much relieved and regained her spirits.
She had so many things to do, and no time for sadness or grief.
Putting everything else aside, Iskandar, whom they will face next, is a formidable opponent that they must take seriously.
"I wonder how many Heroic Spirits are left in Iskandar's army?" Elena asked this crucial question.
Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu's Evil King's True Eye couldn't see through the images inside the mental world, so they only knew that Iskandar had won, but they didn't know the specific details of the battle.
"Why don't we go ask Kenneth about it?"
"I think it's okay!"
"So, what should we do with Tokiomi Tohsaka?"
After thinking it over, Kitagawa Yu told Tohsaka Tokiomi directly about the Greater Grail breaking.
Tokiomi Tohsaka's reaction after hearing this was, of course, disbelief, even though Yu Kitagawa recounted many secrets and the events of the last Holy Grail War, all presented with reason and evidence.
However, he wouldn't believe it until he personally witnessed the Greater Grail break and the black mud flowing out from its interior to destroy the world.
However, Kitagawa Yu didn't expect him to believe it right now.
"Anyway, you'll see it soon enough. If you still want to enter the Vortex of Root and explore all the mysteries of the world by wishing for the Greater Grail, then why not raise your daughter Rin Tohsaka properly and have her create the Jewel Sword to travel to other parallel worlds? After all, the Holy Grail system exists in almost every world."
After saying that, Kitagawa Yuya stopped caring what Tohsaka Tokiomi thought or did, and then led everyone to find Kenneth.
Anyway, with the power of wishes as a safety net, even if Rin Tohsaka can't create the Jewel Sword like in the story, he will still be able to master the ability to travel between parallel worlds and even freely travel between countless worlds in the future.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the hotel where Kenneth was staying.
Perhaps because he didn't think anyone would come looking for trouble after his defeat, Kenneth's magic barrier remained unchanged. When Kitagawa Yu and the others arrived, he simply summoned four demonic wolves to guard him and his fiancée Sora, and then openly greeted them.
This slightly changed Kitagawa Yu's impression of him.
"Oh? You've come to me to inquire about the battle between Caster and Rider, and to find out how many Heroic Spirits Rider's Noble Phantasm still has left?"
Kenneth, holding a coffee cup, raised an eyebrow after learning Kitagawa Yu and the others' purpose for coming, and asked in return, "Why should I help you?"
Kitagawa Yu smiled slightly and said, "Because you probably don't want to see Webber win, right? With Webber's personality, if he wins, he will definitely not praise your achievements as his teacher. Instead, he will attribute it all to himself and launch a fierce attack on you as his teacher, even saying that you as his teacher have been suppressing his genius."
"Genius." Kenneth's face twitched involuntarily, and his expression instantly turned much colder.
He knew Weber just as well as Kitagawa Yu, so he knew Kitagawa Yu was right.
At this point, Waver had not yet witnessed the Emperor's fall as he did in the original storyline, nor had he spent half a year traveling and maturing. He was still a young man at heart.
Having been suppressed and attacked by Kenneth for so many years, he will definitely retaliate once he gains power.
Kenneth, as one of the twelve monarchs, couldn't afford to lose face like that.
Otherwise, even his family would be disgraced.
"Alright! I'll tell you! The Heroic Spirit army in that Rider's mental world originally numbered around 50,000. In the battle against Caster, more than half of them were wiped out by Caster's Noble Phantasm and Charm. Currently, there are only a little over 20,000 left."
Kenneth told Kitagawa Yu all the information he had, even the equipment configuration of the Heroic Spirit Legion.
Is 20,000 a lot in Chapter 184?
"The main weapons were bows and arrows, spears, and round shields. A smaller number also carried swords and warhorses. The armor was all in the ancient Greek style, consisting only of a breastplate, a scabbard, and a half-body armor."
"They lack skills and Noble Phantasms, but their individual strength is generally slightly higher than my dire wolves."
As he said this, Kenneth couldn't help but twitch his eye again.
As a lecturer in the Spirit Summoning Department and the clock tower monarch in charge of the Mineral Department, he can only summon a maximum of twenty demon wolves at a time, and usually summons four at a time in regular battles.
Iskandar was able to summon tens of thousands of Heroic Spirits at the same time, and each of them was stronger than his Divine Wolf. This was just too outrageous!
Unlike Kenneth's solemn and incredulous expression, Kitagawa Yu and the others all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the number.
"Only a little over 20,000 left? That's great!"
"Such a small number of people are definitely no match for us!"
"No wonder Rider 'ran away,' it turns out that his army of Heroic Spirits was reduced to such a small number!"
"."
Three big question marks popped up above Kenneth's head.
Twenty thousand is not enough? His Scheherazade was so effective against Iskandar, and he also had an EX-rank anti-army Noble Phantasm. He even used all three Command Seals to take down Iskandar's twenty thousand-plus subordinates. Kitagawa Yu and the others only have 'two' Servants. Even if they both have anti-army Noble Phantasms, it won't be easy for them to deal with the remaining twenty thousand-plus Servants, right?
Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu had no intention of clearing up his doubts. After obtaining the information he wanted, he and his group bid farewell and left the hotel amidst Kenneth's hesitant expression.
“The next problem is how to find Iskandar,” Artoria said, frowning.
They had all witnessed Iskandar's speed; it was simply too fast. In addition, according to Kenneth, Iskandar also had a way to increase his speed for a short period of time. This made it difficult for them not only to find Iskandar, but even if they did find him, they would probably have difficulty keeping him at bay.
However, Kitagawa Yu had already devised a plan. Hearing this, she smiled slightly and said, "Artoria, have you forgotten our true purpose? Our true purpose is to destroy that broken Greater Grail!"
"So as long as we make a move against the Greater Grail, Iskandar will definitely jump out to stop us."
"Otherwise, after the Greater Grail is destroyed, Iskandar, who has no self-healing ability and no help to share the magical energy, will not be able to reappear in the world. After all, Waver's own magical energy is not enough to support Iskandar's consumption."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. If that were the case, they wouldn't need to go through the trouble of searching for Iskandar anymore.
Moreover, destroying the Greater Grail sooner would end this cruel and meaningless Holy Grail War sooner.
"Shall we set off for Mount Yuanc now?" Chizuka asked.
“Yes, the sooner the better. Otherwise, Iskandar might realize what’s happening and launch a sneak attack while we’re resting. With the power and speed of his Noble Phantasm’s long-range domination, it would be quite a problem,” Kitagawa Yu said.
The group then headed towards Round C Mountain again. With the information provided by the Einzbern family, they naturally knew how to enter the interior of Round C Mountain.
Meanwhile, Iskandar had already anticipated this situation after his tactical retreat.
But what could he do? Run ahead to Mount C and ambush the Greater Grail?
Stop joking. He's a Rider, not a Caster. He doesn't have skills like building fortifications, so he won't gain any combat power bonus from setting up ambushes. His high mobility is his main advantage.
But if Kitagawa Yu really resorts to the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" without any sense of martial ethics, even if he knows it's a trap, he will have no choice but to jump in.
The only way to break this deadlock is to join forces with Gilgamesh.
Although Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm is indeed his natural counter, if handled carefully, it might be possible to make Gilgamesh and Kitagawa Yu both suffer heavy losses, or even perish together?
While this is quite difficult, it's still more feasible than directly confronting Kitagawa Yu, defeating Artoria, Lancelot, and Medusa who is hiding some terrifying skills and Noble Phantasm.
Having figured out the key to the matter, Iskandar immediately took action.
However, after losing the familiars provided by the Einzbern family, his ability to search and gather information decreased significantly.
Unable to find Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh who were hiding, he had no choice but to rely on Waver.
Unfortunately, Kenneth's assessment of Weber was correct. Weber may have some talent in theoretical research, but in practice, he was really quite ordinary. His actual magic skills were probably only slightly better than Hisayu Maiya's.
To send him to find Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh who are hiding? And even before Yu Kitagawa?
Isn't this making things difficult for Fat Tiger?
So, during Webber's awkward performance, the two of them simultaneously received the news that Gilgamesh had been killed.
"."
"."
Above the clouds, inside the oxcart, the two stared at each other, but their expressions and feelings were completely different.
