My mother's love song

Gilgamesh chuckled twice as if he had heard a very funny joke.

"Ah, let's not talk about you in your prime, but you're not an opponent worth all this trouble right now.

The slowness I showed last time...will never happen again."

Without changing his expression, the original hero in golden armor made a statement that was equivalent to giving up his status as "King".

He said this calmly.

"Come on, beast, if you don't want to die, pull out that sword."

Contrary to the previous battle stance, this time Gilgamesh challenged Rhodes to draw the Sword of Separation.

Rhodes stood in the desert, tilting his head.

"Ah...you mean EA."

Gilgamesh's inducement once again convinced Rhodes that he had a treasure that could restrain the [Opposite Realm].

Not only that.

The more you ask me to use EA, the more I won't use it... Rhodes felt rebellious.

Instead of taking out the enemy's treasure to try to break the current situation, it is better to say a few bad words to him.

"I took your Supreme Sword to quilt the bed this afternoon... I think I forgot it on the balcony."

"Aha?"

Hearing that EA, who was equivalent to his clone, was being used to beat the quilt, Gilgamesh's expression suddenly became ferocious.

The angry expression only lasted for a moment, and he regained his composure and asked.

"So, how do you plan to defeat Rider and I's Noble Phantasms?"

Although Gilgamesh was very unhappy because he had been mocked by Rhodes since just now.

But now the curiosity in his heart overwhelmed the anger.

The King of Heroes was still very concerned about how he, who had sealed EA, would break this absolutely invincible double king's treasure.

Could it be that this guy is a fool and didn't realize that the weakness of [King's Army] is [Anti-World Noble Phantasm]?

No, impossible.

Having such rash thoughts in front of this guy will only lead to death.

Gilgamesh silently rebuked the arrogance that flashed through his mind.

"In that case, then you should disappear."

Next

The space behind Gilgamesh was distorted with gold.

The countless weapons treasured by the King of Heroes poured straight out towards the black-haired boy like arrows shot from a fully drawn bow.

Gilgamesh certainly didn't think that these treasures could hurt Rhodes in the slightest.

His purpose is to test the limits of the [Crown of Ten Kings].

Even if it is the most powerful and invincible cheating skill, since it is an active skill, there should be something like a CD time!

The same thing happened as before. Facing the rain of Noble Phantasms that came from all directions as if distorting space, Rhodes did not move at all.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

Along with a creepy sound, the boy's body was penetrated by the golden treasures one by one.

Just like Blackbeard in a wine barrel, he was turned into a hedgehog cat.

"Varied."

Faced with this sudden accident, Gilgamesh was speechless.

"Master!!!"

“Rod!!!”

"Lord Rhodes!!!"

From far away on the battlefield, women's screams were heard.

"…What are you doing?"

Looking at Rhodes, whose body was covered with swords and spears and bleeding profusely, flames of anger burned in Gilgamesh's red eyes.

"Ahem...! It's nothing, just a fatal injury."

Rhodes stood shakily in the desert and forced a wry smile.

"Well, it's my turn to attack...Hero King."

……

……

……

"Why, Lord Rhodes, why don't you dodge..."

At the end of the desert one kilometer away from the battlefield, Irisviel clenched her fists as she watched Rhode's body being pierced by swords.

The Rhodes he knew was a mysterious boy who could easily defeat the arrogant Archer.

Because of what she had seen with her own eyes and her girlish heart that was infatuated with him, Irisviel naturally believed that Rhodes was the strongest.

But now, Rhode was caught off guard by Archer's careless attack and now even had difficulty standing.

"Lord Rhodes... By the way, where are Lancer and Caster!?"

She looked at the other two riders on the battlefield in confusion, but was surprised to find that their faces showed neither confusion nor panic, but

Like tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, they were pale and unable to move, showing a look of fear.

"...?"

Because she is a human.

Because she is a human.

Therefore, Irisviel didn’t know.

It is a shackle that no human being can escape from.

At this moment, all the humans present recalled the horror they had once experienced when they were dominated by ■■'s rage.

……

……

……

“It hurts… cough, cough, cough, cough!”

Rhodes, who had just said he would fight back, held his knees and vomited blood on the ground the next second.

"……snort."

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and saw that the bright red blood flowing from the boy's wound was cast with a black shadow.

The blood dripping onto the ground turned into black mud that was constantly moving, bubbling like boiling water.

"What's wrong, Archer!?"

Iskandar, who noticed something was wrong, rushed to Gilgamesh's side, shouting, and looked down at the dying Rhodes in surprise from his horse's back.

“Don’t come near, Rider! Humph, is that the mud that can corrode and turn black even heroic spirits, no… even divine spirits?”

The Hero King held his breath as cold sweat broke out on his cheeks. “You don’t think that you can kill all the soldiers here with just the little blood you shed?”

The beast mud flowing out of the boy's body is indeed terrifying, but such a small dose can be evaporated by using an anti-military weapon.

It would be naive to think of launching a counterattack relying on such a small amount of black mud.

"Hey...Hero King."

Without even looking at his face, Rhodes wiped the black mud from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said lightly.

"Look carefully... this is not my blood."

"...?"

Is Rhodes so fragile that he is about to turn back into the black mud state before hatching?

No.

If there were someone who knew the situation present, they would have discovered that this black mud was similar to the Cradle of Beasts that once existed in the Great Cavern under Tokyo.

The black color that slowly flowed down from Rhodes' body was "something" that had a completely opposite nature to his existence.

The voice that echoed from the depths of darkness was not a curse or gluttony, but deep love and sorrow.

"That's enough... I've heard enough of your nonsense. It's my fault for having high hopes for you."

The Hero King stared at Rhodes coldly and sighed.

Even though he was the scarlet beast in the prophecy, he was now just a bug lying on the ground after all, not even the snake he hated.

The magic sword [Original Sin] appeared in Archer's hand.

As a reward for making the King of Heroes feel happy even for a moment, use this original sword of choice to end Rhodes' fragile life.

"Go away, cub."

The body wrapped in golden armor burst out with amazing magic power. Gilgamesh was about to release the chosen sword, Original Sin, in his true name.

"These are... my mother's tears."

The words Rhode muttered froze the surrounding air and the actions of the Golden King.

Even Gilgamesh, who always maintained a proud attitude, showed fear and felt as if his heart had stopped.

"My mother is very angry now because she hurt me, my lovely self, to such an extent."

"Hey...what the hell is this?"

Seeing this horrifying scene, the legendary horse under the King of Conquerors began to neigh wildly.

"Rider, didn't Archer tell you whose child I am?"

Your subordinates are too pitiful. They die here without even knowing who they are fighting with, he said with a smile.

"I am just a monster who only knows how to eat. I can't make the world chaotic."

"The King of Heroes calls you the youngest son of Babylon the Great"

After saying this, Iskandar had a legitimate confusion in his mind.

Who is this "Babylon the Great" that Archer has been mentioning since the last confrontation?

On the other side, the King of Heroes' expression turned pale: "Could it be that... could it be that you can also use your mother's power..."

Rhodes did not answer, but a peculiarly shaped golden dagger appeared in his hand.

Even if Gilgamesh wanted to forget, he couldn't. The thing the boy was holding in his hand was the [Gold Blade] that had cut off his wrist earlier.

"Gilgamesh, I must thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to see my mother again."

“You said that everything in the world originally belonged to you, but it was only after your death that they were scattered around the world.

The same is true for this [Gold Invasion Blade]. It was once part of your treasure house, then fell into Caster's hands, and now it is in my hands. "

呲

Rhodes wordlessly stabbed the golden dagger into his chest and uttered a whisper of ecstasy.

“Praise and glorify the beast of disaster who is called Babylon the Great.

The mother of all evil who came from the other side of the sea is called Tiamat!"

……

……

……

"what is that?"
