I really didn't want to burn it.

Hearing his wife and son's anxious calls, Kiritsugu shook his head slightly and got up by supporting himself on the ground with one hand.

Kiritsugu didn't dwell on the age-old problem of falling face down but waking up face up, a problem reminiscent of the original Ultraman. Instead, he immediately checked on Shirou's condition.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Shirou, a little shy, hid behind Irisviel.

Irisviel responded to her godson's adorable actions with a doting "Oh dear, oh dear."

Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his adopted son Shirou was back to normal.

He asked calmly, "Are you from Chaldea? What's the situation now?"

"My Master and the others went into the cave to support that bastard from the Alliance. As for... this kid, he was controlled by Cast's magic, and I managed to break the connection between them."

Red A explained on behalf of Irisviel and Shirou Emiya.

"Where is Sab?"

Red A pointed behind him: "If you're asking about King Arthur, she's fighting herself."

Kiritsugu glanced in the direction the guy was pointing and saw two black Sabs fighting each other.

Although both are Sabers, both wear black armor, and both have silver hair and golden eyes, Kiritsugu can still clearly distinguish the differences between them.

One of them was riding a horse and carrying a gun, while the other only had a knight's sword.

Of course, their biggest difference is their absolute height difference and completely different body types.

Even though both of them were covered in thick armor, one could still feel the qualitative difference between them.

However, Kiritsugu was not like that old rogue Li Guoshi; he was not interested in the child's physique, but only in the battle between the two.

"No need to look anymore. A Servant without a Master has limited magical power. That King Arthur with the sword wouldn't dare to use his Noble Phantasm carelessly. She's doomed to lose."

"I am," Red A said confidently, leaning against a charred tree trunk.

"Thanks."

Kiritsugu's sudden thanks caught Archer off guard, and he turned his head away, his face slightly flushed.

"No...you're welcome."

Red A responded somewhat guiltily.

Kiritsugu nodded slightly and struggled to his feet.

"Kiritsugu?!"

Alice tried to come and help, but Kiritsugu pushed her away.

"Kiritsugu, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'm going to settle accounts with that person!" Kiritsugu said through gritted teeth. "How dare they treat Shirou like that! I'll make them pay!"

Red A, standing nearby, kindly advised, "I think you'd better take it easy."

Kiritsugu glanced at him: "Please take Shirou to a safe place, and then come back to provide support."

"Huh...huh?! Me?!"

Red Archer never expected Kiritsugu to ask him for a favor.

"With a Servant's abilities, you should be able to make it back and forth very quickly, right?"

After saying that, Kiritsugu walked into the cave without waiting for Archer's reply.

"What a... willful old man."

Red A complained, turning his gaze to Shirou.

Recalling the wish to "kill himself," Red A looked at his younger self with conflicted emotions.

If it were me in my chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) rage, Archer would definitely cut down that naive guy first before thinking about anything else.

But he was clearly not old enough yet, which put Red A in a bit of a dilemma.

"Never mind, I'll just consider it doing a good deed for the day."

Despite his constant complaining, Red A's body betrayed him as he hoisted Shirou onto his back and sped towards the Emiya residence.

"Hey kid, watch out, don't fall."

"what……"

Shirou couldn't understand what psychological burden he was carrying. Not knowing the situation, he looked curiously at the Servant in front of him whose appearance wasn't much to look at.

Feeling the gentle breeze on his face as the other person moved between buildings, Koshirou's eyes widened with excitement.

"Hey, hey. Big brother, are you a champion of justice?"

"What?!"

Red A nearly fell from a height of several dozen stories.

"Were they poisoned at such a young age?"

Red A hesitated, unsure whether he should let go and give him a quick death.

Shirou didn't care about any of that; he became obsessed with Archer as if he had discovered a new continent.

After all, in Shirou's eyes, Archer held a very high position at this time.

This peerless master saved him and his father from danger, and was definitely the righteous partner he had been searching for.

"Please, big brother, please take me as your apprentice!"

"No! I'm not some kind of champion of justice! Don't do this... Wait! I told you not to get so close!... Damn it! I should have just killed you right now!"

Chapter 170 Gilgamesh: Leon, eat my Great Ivan!

Yuanzang Mountain has a large hollow.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The sound of heavy hammering echoed continuously from inside the cave, which gave one a sense of unease.

"Damn it... Gilgamesh, you're a madman!"

Li Ang cursed loudly at the Radiant Ship flying above his head.

After realizing that he couldn't gain an advantage by simply standing still and dealing damage, this hero king actually began to actively attack the Holy Grail that was about to descend.

Meanwhile, Kirei Kotomine, who had been hoping for the arrival of evil in this world, just watched happily from the sidelines, seemingly not worried at all about any problems with the ritual.

So Li Ang could only rage while trying to stop Gilgamesh's attack.

For a moment, Li Ang didn't even know whether he or Gilgamesh was the one who would preside over the coming of the Holy Grail.

[It's no use, host. This golden Pikachu has you cornered.]

"Of course I could see that, duh."

Li Ang was well aware that he was being led by the nose by the other side.

Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine both believed that Leon would not stand by and watch the Holy Grail be destroyed innocently, leaving Fuyuki City in ruins.

If that's the case, then what is there to worry about?

Go ahead and make as much as you want!

We can play recklessly this game; Li Ang will cover for us anyway.

All Li Ang could do was curse.

"You son of a bitch, go to hell!"

Like a madman from Zaun spewing trash talk in the public chat, Li Ang unleashed a torrent of insults at Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine.

"Hmph, you're getting impatient, Li Ang."

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers, and countless shield-shaped Noble Phantasms appeared in the void. These protective armors floated around the warship, enveloping the golden ship Vimana.

"You call me a turtle shell? You're just as stubborn as me!"

Seeing his lightning bolts deflected by the shield, Li Ang complained in dissatisfaction.

"Li Ang, only the victor has the right to speak!"

Gilgamesh grinned wickedly, seemingly enjoying Leon's distress.

after all……

Who told you to annoy me just now?

Live it!

Gilgamesh waved his hand, releasing the Gate of Babylon and projecting out six Noble Phantasms of different shapes.

Spears and blades, gleaming with dazzling light, streaked like meteors as they met Li Ang's attack.

"Bullshit, you self-righteous bastard!"

Despite his complaints, Li Ang's body suddenly accelerated like a jet fighter, dodging left and right with agility, breaking through the barrage of Noble Phantasms.

[Host, are you taking a taxi?]

"Don't talk to me now, it'll distract me!"

Leon was right. Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm is not like the "bullets" in games where dodging them counts as a successful evasion.

Three of the six treasures—an axe, a sickle, and a scimitar—with tracking properties immediately spun and changed direction, closing in on Li Ang's back.

Leon dodged the Noble Phantasms' second attack in an extremely bizarre manner and struck them down with lightning.

However, in order to deal with the Noble Phantasm, the distance between Leon and Gilgamesh was widened once again.

"Depend on!"

Leon abandoned his idea of ​​following Vimana and getting left behind. He landed on the ground and began carving runes directly on the high platform.

"■■■■■——————!"

A roar suddenly echoed through the pitch-black cave, causing rock fragments to fall from the cave ceiling.

To Gilgamesh's astonishment, an incredibly tall giant appeared behind his ark.

Compared to the giant who could only bend over in the cave, Gilgamesh's ship was like a slightly larger golden dragonfly, completely overshadowed by the giant's shadow.

Then, a cold current condensed and deformed in Juran's hand... finally turning into an ice axe that was just right for the giant.

Gilgamesh then saw the giant's appearance clearly—its entire body was made of rock, with only brown runes flashing on its forehead.

This giant was like Pangu from Chinese legend. As it roared, it swung its ice axe wildly, as if trying to split the great void open like chaos.

"Well……"

Gilgamesh felt the cave shake violently, as if it were about to shatter.

At this moment, Vimana was like a lone boat sailing on a dark and turbulent sea. Under the giants' attacks, which were like a mixer, this golden ship was in danger of being destroyed at any moment by the raging cold current and ultimately swallowed by ice.

"Tsk, I didn't expect you to pull this trick, Li Ang..."

Gilgamesh squinted and began to analyze.

The rock giant in front of us should be something like a puppet, that is, the "Goren" in Jewish Hebrew mythology.

In Hebrew mythology, Goron is a lifeless colossal statue made of inorganic materials such as clay and bronze. The key step to making it move is to write the Hebrew word for "truth" on its forehead.

However, the one used by Li Ang was clearly optimized using runes. Not only was it much larger, but its functions in all aspects were also much stronger than those "Gorgons" that Gilgamesh knew. More importantly, it also had an axe that could create a blizzard effect.

"Damn it, this giant is quite strong... His attack wasn't specifically aimed at me and my throne, but just being affected by it has made my mount unable to withstand it."

Gilgamesh gritted his teeth, placed his hand on Vimana's helm, and focused intently on controlling the ark to prevent it from crashing to the ground.

Li Ang's intentions were very clear: since Gilgamesh didn't want to land, he would help him land, and in a very undignified way.

It's fair to say that Li Ang went all out.

Since there's plenty of magic in the cave anyway, let's go all out.

"How could I possibly let you succeed!"

The space around the Golden Ship was filled with endless shields and armor. Whenever a blizzard or a giant's axe destroyed one, Gilgamesh would immediately have another replace it.
