Once someone gets close enough to launch an attack, the breeze will instantly transform into the most terrifying wind pressure, tearing that person to shreds.
"Good, so strong." Cú Chulainn looked at Gilgamesh, who had just been so arrogant and domineering, making them sway like a small boat in a raging sea, and then suddenly found himself in a "semi-turtle" state, thanks to a flashback.
The competitiveness he was referring to was, of course, Captain Dragonfly.
He and the berserker were summoned the instant the house collapsed, and immediately joined the battlefield without stopping. In reality, they didn't know much about either side.
"To be able to participate in such a battle... I also—"
Before Cú Chulainn could finish his internal monologue, he felt an immense force strike the back of his head, causing him to lean forward and his head to make direct contact with the ground.
The immense force shook the ground, and cracks spread outwards from Cú Chulainn's head in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, a piercing pain shot through his back. A familiar force pierced Cú Chulainn's heart.
“My Noble Phantasm…” Cú Chulainn’s eyes, buried in the ground, widened slightly. He heard the sound of armor clashing and felt a gust of wind sweep past his head.
He knew it was the petite yet powerful knight king who had saved him, but he also knew that this rescue was meaningless.
Although his heart hadn't actually been pierced, Cú Chulainn knew perfectly well that his opponent had used his Noble Phantasm, the Spear of Death. The outcome was sealed the moment the spear was thrust; his death was inevitable, even if the King of Knights killed the one who had thrown the spear.
Moreover, Cú Chulainn did not believe that the Knight King could stop the Heroic Spirit who had placed his hand on his head.
The blade of Excalibur, shrouded in black aura, appeared before Su Mo's eyes. At that moment, the spear Su Mo held, Piercing Dead Thorn, was less than a centimeter away from Cú Chulainn.
Self-preservation or fighting the enemy?
For ordinary heroic spirits, this would be a multiple-choice question, but for Su Mo, it wasn't even a question.
Completely ignoring Excalibur, the Spear of Death pierced Cú Chulainn's heart with a steady thrust. At the same time, a burst of black light erupted from Excalibur, engulfing Su Mo within it.
However, Artoria's expression changed slightly at this moment, and she abruptly sheathed her sword and retreated.
Chains that constantly shifted between reality and illusion burst forth from the black sword light that slowly disappeared as Artoria sheathed her sword, piercing straight towards Artoria's chest.
Fortunately, Artoria retreated quickly enough, and the concentric chains, being of limited length, stopped just before touching her chest. Su Mo then retrieved them.
"Unlucky spearmen should be eliminated first."
As he rewound the chains around his hands, Su Mo stood up from his half-squatting position, and the terrible wounds on his body rapidly healed as he stood up.
When Su Mo finally stood up, not only were his wounds intact, but even his clothes were completely undamaged. However, a large area of buildings behind him had been reduced to ruins, and some ghouls that had run towards him hadn't even had a chance to show their presence before they were reduced to nothing but fragments.
The corpse of Cú Chulainn beside Su Mo, along with the spear piercing the death thorn on his body, turned into specks of light and gradually disappeared.
The battle also saw its first fatality—the lucky lancer.
While everyone was focused on Gilgamesh and Captain Dragonfly, Su Mo didn't choose to protect Gilgamesh, but instead chose to take down Cú Chulainn first.
"Scrolling light! Seal!"
Captain Dragonfly activated the scrolling light again, lighting up the third square before dimming. The concentric chains on Su Mo's hand trembled, seemingly resisting some mysterious force. Although they weren't at a disadvantage, they probably wouldn't be able to be used for a while.
This can be considered as achieving the sealing effect of Captain Dragonfly.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous figure descended from the sky and crashed down in front of Su Mo, leaving a deep crater in the ground.
The fully recovered berserker stood in front of Su Mo with an imposing presence, a low growl like that of a wild beast emanating from his mouth, and a terrifying, ferocious aura emanating from his body.
Artoria behind him only revealed the blade of Excalibur, but the threat was already obvious.
Gilgamesh, whose sight and hearing were temporarily deprived, was naturally unaware that such a change had occurred on the field in less than a minute.
Having just defeated Cú Chulainn, Su Mo, who seemed to have the upper hand, is now facing the crisis of being surrounded.
"Little Ai, are you interested in joining us?" Irisviel walked up to Artoria and asked Su Mo.
"Are there any benefits?" Su Mo asked.
"As for the benefits..." Irisviel extended a finger and gently tapped near her temple. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Does it count as allowing Little Ai to survive in this world a little longer?"
"If we don't agree, Ai won't be able to stay in this world any longer. We're all trying to fulfill Kiritsugu's wish, so why does Ai have to stop us?"
"I'm not trying to stop you... Even though the final outcome might be the same, my goals are completely different from his," Su Mo said with a smile.
The berserker's growl suddenly intensified, and he took a step back, adopting an attack stance like a wild beast encountering an enemy.
Although he had gone berserk, the berserker still possessed the skill "Mind's Eye," making him extremely sensitive to danger. He was now sensing a sense of impending danger, and if it weren't for Irisviel's orders, he would have already lost control and couldn't attack.
"Lord Shenhao!"
"Lord Shenhao!"
Just then, a crow-like cry came from afar, and a penguin stumbled into the battlefield at an incredible speed.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"What is this?" Irisviel was stunned for a moment, looking at the penguin that had wandered in. Could it also be a Heroic Spirit?
She clearly remembered that the Dragonfly Captain displayed the aura of five Heroic Spirits in total. The aura resembled a Heroic Spirit devouring something, which she mistook for Wang Aiguo.
As a result, Captain Dragonfly was unable to locate it and suspected that it might be another arbiter.
Later, when the battle broke out, no one noticed the penguin that stayed next to Gilgamesh and had a very low presence.
"Don't abandon the accessory on your thigh, you rich tycoon!" The penguin howled as it rushed to the side of the golden swan, then stopped, seemingly sensing the terrifying nature of the breeze swirling around the golden swan and his strange state.
"What's wrong, Mr. Tycoon?" Penguin turned to look at Su Mo.
The dangerous aura emanating from Su Mo vanished the moment the penguin appeared. He said, "Golden Flash has been deprived of his hearing and sight, so I'm afraid I won't be able to recharge you anymore... I won't be able to give you money anymore."
"what!"
The penguin flapped its wings and instantly appeared beside Su Mo. "So I can't get money from the super-rich tycoon anymore?"
"Yes." Su Mo nodded. "Of course, if you can help him recover, that would be fine."
The penguin glanced at Su Mo: "Will you pay me later?"
"Are you doubting the ability of a super-rich person to pay?" Su Mo mocked.
"Since that's the case," the penguin nodded, turning its head to look at Captain Dragonfly in the distance, "it's you, the arbitrator, who did this to the wealthy shrew, isn't it?"
"You're an adjudicator too?" Captain Dragonfly asked, striking a few rather embarrassing poses.
"To be a judge alongside a robot like this is a disgrace to me." The penguin waved its hand dismissively, glanced at everyone present, and muttered, "As expected, there's not a single one who can afford to spend money. There's only one super-rich person here."
The feeling of disappointment and frustration was expressed vividly.
“Kill it.”
Irisviel frowned and gave the order to the berserker.
Although this penguin looks very weak and unreliable, if it were truly a ruler, it would certainly be a huge threat.
The adjudicator may not be strong in direct combat, but its ability to assist in combat is extremely formidable.
Captain Dragonfly alone not only trapped Li Yunlong, but also put Hero King in a passive defensive position.
"You still want to attack me?"
The penguin flapped its short wings and said disdainfully, as a halo appeared around it, enveloping the berserker who was charging towards it.
The berserker's massive body paused briefly as it was enveloped in the aura before collapsing to the ground.
After falling, the berserker struggled to get up, but could only remain in a kneeling position on all fours, panting heavily. He looked as if he had just run tens of thousands of laps around the earth and was too weak and tired to stand up.
"Hmph, Halo - Weak Warrior!" The penguin snorted, flapped its wings twice, and looked incredibly smug.
"As expected of the Arbitrator," Irisviel thought to herself.
"Without the referee's permission, even if you are another referee, you cannot intervene in the game!" Captain Dragonfly's voice, full of a sense of justice, rang out.
"Shut up, you poor bastard!" The penguin turned and glared at Captain Dragonfly.
"Disrespecting the referee's authority will be punished!" Captain Dragonfly roared, stretching one hand towards the sky. A bolt of lightning struck the penguin as he moved.
The penguin, whose belly was originally snow-white, turned pitch black after being struck by the lightning.
However, although the lightning bolt drastically changed the penguin's appearance, it didn't actually hurt him at all. Instead, it fueled his anger: "How dare you strike me! Halo Double Strike - Disconnect City - Disconnect Canyon! Get out of my sight!"
With a furious shout, two halos descended from the sky, enveloping Captain Dragonfly.
"what is this?"
Captain Dragonfly tilted his body to the side, striking the classic pose from live-action animation where someone gets hit by something falling from the sky. Then he remained motionless in that pose.
Above his head appeared the words "Attempting to reconnect," along with a horizontal bar that kept moving back and forth.
"..."
"Hmph, you think you can fight me? You're still too green." The penguin snorted smugly. It walked up to the golden figure, flapped its wings twice, and a blue light appeared on the golden figure's body.
"Oh, I didn't know you had some skills."
With his eyes regaining their sparkle, Gilgamesh saw the penguin beside him and slowly spoke, then took out a number of treasures from the Gate of Babylon.
These treasures had just appeared. Before anyone could even see what they looked like, they were swallowed whole by the penguins.
"Is there anything else you need me to do, my esteemed tycoon?" the penguin asked ingratiatingly.
"Just don't let anyone disturb me," Gilgamesh said coldly. Although he was no longer as irritable as before, his current state was even more frightening.
"You shouldn't do anything either. I'll deal with them myself," Jin Shanshan said, turning to look at Su Mo again.
Su Mo nodded and took a step back, but that didn't mean he wouldn't make a move. At the crucial moment, he would definitely devour the Holy Grail Irisviel; even Gilgamesh couldn't stop him.
Now that Gilgamesh is willing to be the vanguard, let's let her test Irisviel and the others.
In fact, Artoria's trump card has already been revealed. After turning to the dark side, in addition to possessing the powerful strength to contend with Berserkers head-on, she also seems to have no limit to the release of Excalibur, having released it several times in a short period of time.
But even with just these two points, she still couldn't defeat Gilgamesh.
As the oldest king, Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon contains many Noble Phantasms that can counter other Heroic Spirits. However, she has always treated her enemies with considerable contempt.
They never truly took an opponent seriously, nor did they observe their weaknesses to target them.
Su Mo strongly suspected that Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon might also contain a Noble Phantasm that could counter Artoria—if Artoria had any weaknesses.
Wait a minute, now that I think about it, it's impossible for Gilgamesh to suddenly pull one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table out of the Gate of Babylon, right?
