After leaving those final words, Father Mapo left the underground church without looking back.
Just as the two were sweating profusely, unsure how to handle this complicated situation, things took an unexpected turn...
[Cú Chulainn completely ignored Father Kirei's instructions, instead gripping his spear tightly with both hands and resolutely shielding the two from Gilgamesh's attack.]
Gilgamesh's brows furrowed instantly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, as he questioned, "Hmph, shouldn't your prey be that bastard, 1ancer!"
"I've changed my mind." Cú Chulainn showed no sign of backing down, his eyes revealing an unwavering resolve.
"And don't get me wrong, Saber. I'm not on your side; I'm just... on the side of my beliefs!"
"Wang Jiang is a real man!! No wonder he's known as the Blue Lancer with the Spinning Charge, he's really cool!" (Read super exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"I'm just standing on the side of my beliefs. Wang-chan, are you crazy for being so handsome?! Even I, at the peak of my looks, had to give way."
Seeing Wang Jiang step forward in accordance with his beliefs, everyone present couldn't help but sigh, "Heroes are as numerous as fish crossing a river; each generation of gunners is a god among men..."
At that moment, the master craftsman in the Land of Shadows smiled with satisfaction and murmured softly, "That's more like it!"
Every day he's either launching a sneak attack or on his way to one, making her think she's trained an assassin who's finally starting to resemble a spearman!
【Faced with Wang Jiang, who was blocking Mr. Jin for them, Saber was still somewhat worried: "1ancer, even for you, one-on-one is too much..."
"If you can, get out of here!" Saber was interrupted by Cú Chulainn's stern rebuke before she could finish speaking: "Just because you received some attention, you think you're one of us."
"That's why I can't stand the sight of you, this pampered knight king."
Having said all that, Saber took one last, deep look at Cú Chulainn, then had no choice but to retreat with the injured Shirou, intending to return and discuss a further plan.
In fact, even if Cú Chulainn hadn't interfered, Gilgamesh was still prepared to use Ianance's life to fill the vacancy of the Holy Grail for the sake of the Holy Grail's descent ritual.
【Pfft——】
[The Noble Phantasms rained down like meteors. Despite Cu Chulainn's best efforts to defend, he seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the torrential barrage.] (by Zhao Hao)
[His body was slashed by the Noble Phantasm fired by the King of Heroes, leaving gruesome wounds from which crimson blood slowly flowed. Feng]
Although he looked extremely disheveled, he managed to hold off Gilgamesh for most of the day...
[Until Gilgamesh finally pulled out the Chains of Heaven to bind Cu Chulainn's hands and feet, and then turned around to draw his Spiral Sword, Cu Chulainn smiled resignedly and stopped struggling.]
[Only after the spiral sword pierced his heart did Cú Chulainn slowly dissipate from the spot.]
"No, you can avoid projectiles with your arrow-evasion protection, right? Even GaeBolg doesn't use it?"
"Chains of Heaven, Spiral Sword... Brother, this is a bit too much. You've taken all of Dog Brother's Noble Phantasms that are the least compatible with him. Even a slacker like Archer wouldn't be this shameless."
Seeing Dog Bro reluctantly leave after dragging things out for half a day, everyone from the other worlds felt immense admiration. He had managed to hold off Gilgamesh for a full half-day!
If Gilgamesh hadn't disregarded martial ethics and pulled out the Chains of Heaven and the Spiral Sword, the nemesis of Doggo, they might have been able to fight again.
So, divinity really is a... debuff!!
Chapter 1184 Holy Grail: What? You're planning to kill me again?
Fantasy Carnival World
"1ancer, you're dead again..." The old gatekeeper sighed calmly, his tone as if he were just casually greeting someone in a daily conversation, completely unperturbed!
He seemed to take this life-or-death situation for granted, and it did not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.
"Well, thank you for reminding me." Upon hearing this, Wang Jiang's vision went black, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.
Then, forcing a forced smile, he said irritably, "If I'm not blind, I can see it!"
The Spiral Sword—due to a vow made in the past, no matter what the circumstances, if this Spiral Sword were to reappear, one's defeat would already be predetermined.
The Chains of Heaven, also known as the Rogue Chains, are a natural counter to anyone with divinity. But the problem is, who doesn't possess some kind of divinity these days?!
Wang Jiang himself was also helpless... Gilgamesh has taken out both of his Noble Phantasms, how am I supposed to fight him?
I'd be lucky to hold them off for half a day; how could I possibly survive?!
He had said it before: none of the opponents in the final round were human; they were all more sinister than the last!
"However, this isn't entirely a bad thing, 1ancer." The gatekeeper narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a while, seemingly lost in thought.
"What you've always longed for is a fair and square battle, isn't it? Now it seems that your wish has been fulfilled."
After all, departing in such a heroic manner, displaying courage, fearlessness, and boldness, is enough to move people deeply.
Upon hearing these words, Wang Jiang fell into a deep silence. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was some truth to them, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Oh no, you might not believe it, but I actually felt—happy—about my own "death"?
What kind of twisted idea is this?! Could it be that dying too much can actually be addictive??
Gintama World
Watching Cú Chulainn leave, Kondo frowned, looking thoughtful, his face grave: "This isn't good..."
"So you noticed too, Kondo-san." Fourteen slowly took a drag of his cigarette and said seriously, "Cú Chulainn didn't use his Noble Phantasm at all from beginning to end."
Despite facing such a formidable opponent as Gilgamesh, Cú Chulainn never once used his spear, which was designed to be deadly even if it pierced through the skin.
Or perhaps his battle intuition had already convinced him that even using his Noble Phantasm against Gilgamesh offered absolutely no chance of victory...?
“No, I’m not talking about that.” Kondo shook his head, speaking slowly and calmly, “I’m talking about Cú Chulainn’s death, there wasn’t even a flashback or anything…”
Think of Ace from One Piece; he spent four or five episodes reminiscing about him. And Uchiha, the Naruto Omega fighter, took on seven opponents single-handedly; he even had a side story dedicated to him.
It's strange that Cú Chulainn, with his grand and magnificent exit, left with nothing at all!
Upon hearing this, Fourteen's expression froze instantly. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he murmured, "That's really... bad..."
“Right!” Kondo slammed his hand on the table excitedly, expressing a strong sense of agreement: “You think it’s strange too, right?”
Fourteen didn't speak, but instead gazed at the distant sky with a worried expression... Kondo-san, what I meant by "this is bad" was you!
What Ace? What Uchiha fighting seven people at once? What are you, a police chief, thinking about all day?!
You better focus on something important, you damn gorilla!
Meanwhile, Saber, who had escaped the church, also filled the scabbard within Shirou's body with magical energy. It won't be long before Shirou's wounds are fully healed.
"The scabbard I once lost, Shirou, is now inside you!"
This is also why the half-baked Shirou was able to summon Saber; with Avalon as the medium, it was enough to make up for Shirou's own shortcomings.
"During the last war, Kiritsugu summoned me using the scabbard of the Holy Sword as a medium!"
"This scabbard is a treasure that can heal the wounded. They probably figured it was more advantageous to keep it with them than to return it to me."
After learning about the abnormality within his body, Shirou looked at Saber with a puzzled expression: "So, Dad had the same situation as me, and won all the way through?"
[Regarding this question, Saber did not directly answer, but instead spoke of how, after the Holy Grail War, Kiritsugu Emiya saved a life from the brink of death with his sword sheath.]
"Keep the scabbard with you? Are you crazy, Kiritsugu! Giving the scabbard directly to Saber would be far more beneficial than harmful!"
"Damn it, Shirou in this world really is cheating. No wonder he's impossible to kill. He really does come with the Conqueror's Armor and the legendary sword (Avalon)..."
After learning the whole story, everyone from the other worlds felt a pang of regret. The great hero Emiya suffered because he didn't have a scabbard. If Avalon had been there, they don't know how he would have lost!
Type-Moon Fate/Zero World
“My dad was in the same situation as me, he won all the way up…”
Upon hearing this, Irisviel looked at him strangely, her face full of confusion: "If I remember correctly, wasn't Shirou the one who got beaten up the whole way here?"
Won it?
That's true, but it's more accurate to say she won because she was tough—she was literally getting beaten up the whole time, Shirou!
He was slashed by Berserker, stabbed by Iancer, impaled by Rider, struck by Gilgamesh, and attacked by Assassin... well, not really. He's the only conscientious Servant who didn't lift a finger.
Ahem… Anyway, what made Shirou win? His health bar was huge!!! (For super-exciting novels, go to Feilu Novels!)
Even the usually expressionless Kiritsugu Emiya's lips twitched violently a few times upon hearing his wife's words, and his eyes fell into a subtle silence.
Shirou, your dad didn't have it as bad as you. You were the one who got beaten up, I was the one who beat others up...
If I were to participate in your Holy Grail War, I'd be surprised if any of the Masters, except for Illya, survived more than three episodes!
"And I'm very happy."
"I can't protect anything, but I can save your life, Shirou."
The two helped each other out of the church, walked across the Fuyuki Bridge to the riverbank, and stood side by side watching the sunset slowly sink, neither of them uttering a sound to break the silence.
The setting sun gilded Saber's silhouette, and she suddenly turned to Shirou: "Thank you. Now, I finally know which path to choose."
[Whether it's the Holy Grail or my past self, it's all a dream that shouldn't exist...]
"Those years spent entangled in misguided desires, though they were just timid fantasies of a young girl, even if they couldn't come true... thank you for being there for me on this journey."
"Although the scene is beautiful and I'm very moved, hey guys, don't forget you're on the run! Is it appropriate to be all lovey-dovey here?!"
"Dog Bro will cry, he will definitely cry. He risked his life to buy you time, and this is what you're doing?"
Watching the two of them in the setting sun, their atmosphere slightly strange, the people from other worlds couldn't help but sigh and rub their foreheads. Suddenly, they felt that Wang-chan's death wasn't tragic, but rather somewhat unjust!
Wang Jiang's body is barely cold, and you guys are already showing off your love and abusing each other... well, in a sense, it's really abusing each other (literally)!
After hearing Saber's heartfelt words, Shirou clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Saber, destroy the Holy Grail!"
Shirou was actually conflicted about making this decision; destroying the Holy Grail meant he would have to say goodbye to Saber.
Saber stared intently at the determination in Shirou's eyes, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, Master!"
