The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"A golden... thing?"

Gilgamesh was taken aback when he heard Iskandar address him, but then he gritted his teeth and repeated Iskandar's words as he opened the Gate of Babylon.

"You dare call me that! Do you want to die?!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with how I addressed you, do I?"

Iskandar scratched his head, not understanding what he had said wrong.

Gilgamesh is clearly made of gold.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger..."

Just as Gilgamesh was about to unleash a few Noble Phantasms on Iskandar, Tokiomi Tohsaka behind him quickly admonished him.

It should be noted that the four heroic spirits below have now formed an alliance.

If we launch an attack rashly, we might attract the wrath of all four.

While Gilgamesh holds an absolute advantage against a single Heroic Spirit, facing four opponents alone...

"Hmph! I'll let it slide this time, but if you call me by the wrong name again..."

Since it was his subject's statement, and considering the magnanimity required of a king, Gilgamesh temporarily suppressed his anger and put away the King's Treasure.

"Alright, is the King of Heroes here to help?"

Looking at the king before him, who was clearly overly arrogant, Iskandar shook his head helplessly and then inquired about his purpose.

If they're really here to help them, then dealing with that monster should be quite easy.

"Are you kidding me?"

Gilgamesh looked at Iskandar with an expression that said "you're an idiot."

“That ugly thing disgusts me just looking at it, how could I let it taint my treasure?”

"Then what are you here for?"

Artoria disliked Gilgamesh's condescending tone, and upon hearing that he wasn't there to help, she immediately frowned and questioned him.

"I'm just here to kindly remind you not to focus only on what's in front of you."

Because he was standing higher, Gilgamesh was able to observe what was happening further away.

"underground!"

Upon hearing Gilgamesh's words, Hachiman Hikigaya instantly understood their meaning.

Since those tentacles came out from underground, it's normal for them to be active underground.

He actually forgot something so simple!

"Well, good luck to you."

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya had reacted, Gilgamesh once again controlled Vimana to fly into the sky.

Just as he was preparing to enjoy the upcoming battle, two fighter jets suddenly came into his view in the distant night sky.

Chapter 232 Preparing for the Attack

"What is that? An alien spaceship?"

As Gilgamesh watched the approaching fighter jet, the pilot inside was also staring blankly at Vimana, who was hovering in mid-air.

After all, they came to investigate after receiving intelligence that a giant creature was suspected to have appeared in Fuyuki City.

Instead of seeing the giant creature, they did encounter an alien spaceship.

What should I do?

Should you wave and say hello to the other person?

In that case, I shouldn't be mistaken for an enemy and killed in one blow, right?

"A product of human technology? How boring..."

Compared to the two fighter pilots' boundless curiosity, Gilgamesh lost interest instantly after glancing at the two aircraft.

Gilgamesh sat back on his throne and decided to ignore the two iron behemoths.

Of course, this only applies if the other party doesn't bother him.

If anyone dares to attack him as an enemy, Gilgamesh will naturally let those two humans who are fortunate enough to witness his glory know what the wrath of a king is!

The pilots of both fighter jets were clearly of sound mind.

After reporting to the control panel that they had discovered what appeared to be an alien spaceship, they turned around and began exploring into the fog.

Instead, just as they flew over the mist, countless tentacles reached out from below. The experienced pilot barely escaped from the swarm of tentacles thanks to his superb flying skills, but his wingman was in big trouble.

Countless tentacles clung directly to the surface of the fighter jet, tearing it apart like paper in mid-air, and then flinging the pilot inside into the depths of the fog.

Hachiman Hikigaya and the others on the ground only heard a scream coming from high above, and then there was no more movement in the mist.

"........."

So you flew all the way here just to deliver food?

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched as he looked at the last remaining plane in the sky.

He clearly knew there was something in the fog, yet he deliberately flew at low altitude like a fool. He deserved to die.

The pilot, who had narrowly escaped, gazed with lingering fear at the mist in the distance.

After reporting that his comrade had been shot down, he originally thought that the command would send him back to base.

To his surprise, the command center ordered him to conduct further reconnaissance and wait for support from the Self-Defense Forces.

"I........"

In an instant, the driver had already given a long, scathing rebuke to all the women in the command center.

However, if he disobeys orders, he will definitely be treated as a deserter!

With no other option, after a long silence, the pilot steered the plane back into the fog.

However, this time he was clearly a bit smarter.

When he was still more than a hundred meters away from the fog, he began to circle around the foggy area.

They attempted to destroy the tentacle's main body using missiles and machine guns once they located it.

"Who are those people?"

The four groups of people on the ground showed no intention of hiding, and the driver who was observing them quickly spotted them at the edge of the fog.

"A flying oxcart?"

The oxcarts in Iskandar were the most conspicuous, and the drivers were completely bewildered when they saw the situation.

Is he seeing things, or has the world changed?

It's one thing for alien spaceships and monsters to appear, but why are there hovercarts too?

"Is Ultraman going to come out later?"

The driver couldn't help but gossip in his mind.

Just as the driver was thinking, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Deep underground..."

Centered on the streets of the Misty District, the edge of more than a dozen nearby streets began to tear apart.

With a violent tremor, countless tentacles suddenly emerged from the cracks!

"The people inside are surrounded!"

This is the driver's most intuitive thought.

From his perspective, Hachiman Hikigaya and the others were now surrounded in the center of the circle.

From the outermost cracks, something is continuously crawling out from underground.

The dense, dark mass was constantly shrinking the area where Hachiman Hikigaya and the others could move around.

"Well?"

Just as the pilot was preparing to change the fighter jet's flight direction to get a clearer view of the creatures that had crawled out, he suddenly felt something on the windshield above his head.

He looked up in confusion, only to find that a large group of octopus-like creatures had climbed onto his fighter jet at some point!

A loud "bang!" rang out not far from Hachiman Hikigaya and the others.

Everyone looked at the direction where the plane crashed with grave expressions.

After Gilgamesh's warning, they discovered that the monsters summoned by Caster were secretly digging tunnels to the outside to surround them.

Despite this, no one had any intention of retreating.

Because if they retreat, the entire population of Fuyuki City will likely suffer.

Moreover, if we allow that monster to devour everyone in Fuyuki City, it's uncertain how far it will evolve, and whether the group can defeat it together!

"So, Berserker and I will go first, Saber will unleash her Noble Phantasm to take down that monster, and Lancer will finish it off. Does anyone have any objections?"

The unexpected fighter jet only attracted everyone's attention for a few seconds. After regaining their composure, Iskandar solemnly assigned tasks to everyone.

"Irisviel, you should evacuate first."

As soon as Iskandar finished speaking, Artoria stepped forward and suggested that the Masters should retreat.

After all, they were about to enter the fog zone.

With enemies still behind them, they might not be able to attend to the ordinary people who are just mortals.

"Hmm, I'm afraid that won't work."

Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head, rejecting Artoria's suggestion.

It's hard to say whether there's still a safe zone in Fuyuki City, but the fact that no Assassin has appeared is a very worrying thing.

Rather than taking on more risks, it would be better for a few people to go in together from the beginning.

"this......"
