Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"..."

Looking at the hand that Xia Yuan extended to her, Altria chose to hold it.

She answered solemnly.

"I promise you, Foreigner, it is indeed as you said, I am also an accomplice of Emiya Kiritsugu in this Holy Grail War.

I also have an unshirkable responsibility for Alice becoming such a monster and for the people who were hurt as a result. I will not deny or evade this.

Now I will personally correct Emiya Kiritsugu's mistakes and help Alice get rid of them! This is also my own atonement."

"Very good. Although you are considered an accomplice of Emiya Kiritsugu, it's good that you finally made the right choice, Saber."

"It seems that you have found your own meaning."

Looking at Altria's determined eyes, Xia Yuan smiled slightly and placed his hand on the back of her hand: "In that case, let's fight together, Altria, and use your efforts to pay for the sins of you and Emiya Kiritsugu."

"I will."

Recite the spell - [Declare, your body is under my command, my fate is entrusted to your sword, respond to the call of the Holy Grail, if you are willing to follow this intention, and respond to my call. ]

[I swear here that I will make all the good people in the world successful; I will promote all the evil people in the world.

You are the Seventh Heaven entangled by the Three Word Spirits, coming from the Wheel of Restraint! The Guardian of Libra! 】

"I swear that I will follow the principles of the Holy Grail and respond to the Wheel of Suppression. I will descend here and respond to the Master who summoned me—"

"Xia Yuan."

"Saber - Altria, make a contract."

At this moment, the dazzling light flashed again, and when Saber Altria's magic power boiled, a gust of wind blew up in an instant.

King Arthur returns to the battlefield once again in complete victory.

"Then let's fight together, Saber."

"As you command, Master."

Chapter 55: People, Hope to Chain the Gods

A dazzling light burst out, and countless wings of light spread out completely behind the angel, soon reaching a scale that covered the sky and the sun.

At least at this moment, every corner of Fuyuki City is incredibly bright, and it has become the brightest spot on the satellite map of the Far East.

The most important principle of the mysterious side: "Mystery should be hidden." At this moment, the false angel's nonsense has already alarmed the whole world.

Whether it is the magicians, agents, dead apostles or the ancient beings who survived in the modern era, they have all noticed the huge changes here. This situation has obviously become a situation that has shaken the foundation of mystery. Now the situation has expanded to a level that cannot be borne by the three major families of Fuyuki City or a Lord.

However, compared with these follow-up measures, the ancient heroes and modern magicians present were more focused on how to overcome the difficulties at hand.

If we don't stop the angel before it starts the transformation ritual, there will be no future for mankind and the world, and naturally there will be nothing else to come. As for what happens next, we'll just have to think about it later.

If the angel problem is not solved quickly now, it will be useless even if those involved in the Holy Grail War are tried later.

Thanks to the recent rounds of bombardment from Gilgamesh's treasures, the number of the angel's wings of light has evolved from hundreds to thousands. Its body constructed of magic power is one-third larger than before, and the white halo on its head, which symbolizes its identity, has also expanded several times.

The ether concentration in the surrounding areas is also beginning to increase rapidly.

At this moment, all these wings of light are as dazzling as aurora ribbons, but one cannot feel the holiness of the legendary angels from these disordered tentacles of the wings of light. Apart from terrifying pressure and weirdness, nothing can be felt at all.

Saber, Archer, Lancer——

Even if the three most recognized Servants in the Holy Grail War joined forces, it would be difficult to contain this monster.

This existence is almost unsolvable.

If the three riders use their Noble Phantasms or exert their full strength to launch the most violent attack on it, the monster will be suppressed for a short time, but will not feel fear or suffer any real harm.

Instead, it will gradually adapt and evolve in this continuous attack. It won't be long before a considerable number of new wings of light emerge from its back or wounds, and its body will become larger and more solid, making the previous attacks of this scale completely ineffective. Only by continuing to increase the attack can it continue to suppress it, but in this case, continuing to increase the offensive will only enter the same vicious circle.

It would be better to say that if you can't kill it with one blow, continuous attacks will speed up its evolution.

This tricky ability can be avoided by the angel by cutting off his flesh and being reborn, even if Gilgamesh uses a special treasure in the treasury that contains a curse and can cause injuries that cannot be recovered.

Just like being hit by Amaterasu's tailed beast coat, as long as the injured part is shed actively, the body underneath will still be intact.

So if attacking it doesn't work, then can't we just restrain it or seal it?

As the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh had certainly thought of this simple method, but both of these things were simply unrealistic.

This damn thing is constantly changing the environment around it and accumulating more magic power from the Holy Grail core and the earth veins, continuously strengthening itself in preparation for accumulating the magic power needed for the ritual to transform all of humanity.

Even if they don't attack it or trap it, it will continue to evolve. With constant accumulation, it is only a matter of time before it reaches a scale of magic that can directly transform all of humanity.

After all, the core of the Holy Grail - the ritual of the third law is engraved in the angel's pure white body.

The transformation of the soul into material form and the core of its own magical perpetual motion machine make it invincible.

Once it has accumulated enough magic power to cover the entire planet, the angel will activate the third method to shoot ether molecules directly into the atmosphere, instantly covering the entire planet.

At that moment, the entire ecosystem of the Earth will be transformed into immortal soul creatures created by the Third Law.

Therefore, they must fight against every second in this battle, as no one knows how long it will take for the angel to completely accumulate magic power.

Maybe it will take a few more quarters of an hour, or maybe it will take just the next second.

Because the magic perpetual motion machine is inside its body, the magic power generated every second when it runs is enormous.

At this moment, the scale of the battle has almost destroyed half of Fuyuki City.

Countless magical weapons that only existed in myths fell from the sky like a rainstorm, mercilessly piercing everything in the path of the bullets. Along with the bodies of angels, countless tall buildings were smashed into pieces in the storm.

The giant angel did not dodge, but instinctively waved its light wings like tentacles to drive away Saber and Lancer who were constantly restraining its progress.

Although it was just to drive them away, the terrifying light wings contained the power to destroy a town with each strike, and they were devastating once they were swung down.

Huge skyscrapers or industrial equipment that modern humans are proud of are completely meaningless in the face of such a gap in magnitude.

But fortunately, this angel holds the principle of "salvation" in its heart. It will not actively harm humans or destroy anything. It is always moving, constantly accumulating magic power from the earth veins and from its core.

Even if it was suddenly intercepted by three Servants, it would only wave its tentacles to drive them away. In other words, if it really wanted to destroy the city, in front of the fierce storm raised by countless light wings, Fuyuki City would be like a raft in the raging sea, and it would be easily swallowed up by the surging torrent of the sea.

But we absolutely cannot continue to drag it on like this.

Of course, everyone present knew this.

"Asshole! Are you looking down on me?"

Gilgamesh was extremely angry when he saw the huge angel who still ignored him.

Although this thing is not a real angel, because it has the third law [Grail of Heaven] as its core, it is more difficult to deal with than a real angel. It can constantly change the form of the soul and begin to adapt and evolve. This makes his proud king's treasure like hitting cotton, and it can't play any role at all. From being able to suppress it for a short time in the beginning, it soon became like this now, even treating him as nothing.

The humiliation brought by being ignored was like a flame burning in his heart all the time.

How dare you ignore this king?

Who is he?

He is——Gilgamesh!!!

The oldest human king, the strongest king who once accomplished the feat of slaying the Bull of Heaven together with his best friend, now even a mere false god dares to ignore him?

"Don't get too carried away, Zaxiu!"

"Immortality, constant evolution, perpetual motion machine of magic, the third method, right?! Do you really think that I can't do anything to a false god like you?!"

"Die to pay for your rudeness! Come and see the treasure that I am most proud of."

Shouting loudly, Gilgamesh raised his hand and waved it. The power of the King's Law Key instantly reached its maximum level. Then countless chains popped out from the light gates surrounding the night sky, and they fell down along the night sky and were nailed into the ground.

"My pride! My dear friend! Heaven's Chain!!"

Fully unleashing the power of the Key of the King's Law, Gilgamesh summons his most powerful Noble Phantasm, which is also the one he is most proud of.

This is the bond between him and his most trusted friend, Enkidu.

Enkidu, a sacred weapon in Sumerian mythology that can restrain the gods - [Enkidu, the Chain of Heaven].

This treasure is very powerful. Even in the entire history of mankind, it is an extremely powerful treasure. But is it really useful in this situation?

Seeing the chains popping out from the light gate, Xia Yuan's face turned grim and he felt something was wrong.

Although this guy looks like an angel, he is not an angel. It is just a magical creature with the appearance and size of an angel. Although the Heavenly Chain can bind gods, its effect on this guy must be minimal.

He didn't believe that Gilgamesh didn't notice such an obvious thing.

"Hero King, this guy has no divinity, the effect of the Heavenly Chain will not be very strong!" Finn frowned and reminded at this time.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Of course I know about this kind of thing! I have my own plan!!"

Gilgamesh looked back at the two riders behind him and shouted, "From now on, you don't need to intervene in the battle. Just start accumulating magic power and prepare to release the treasure."

"Are you serious, Hero King?"

Altria frowned and said with some uncertainty: "Can you really suppress this monster at its current size? With its recovery speed and adaptability, even if we release our treasures, we cannot completely destroy it."

"Humph, idiot, of course I know about this kind of thing. The scale of attack just now is indeed unlikely to be effective against this guy.

However, from now on, I will join hands with my best friend to crush this false god!! "

"I will use more treasures to dismember this monster's body, tear open its flesh, and hinder its self-healing for a short period of time. You only need to find the core hidden under the body, and then release the treasures in one go to destroy it."

Shatters its body and prevents self-healing.

"Can such a thing really be done?"

Search

“Heh, don’t underestimate the power of me and my best friend! It’s just a false god. Even if it’s a real god, I can kill it for you to see!!”

"Then Saber and Lancer, the task of finishing off the task is now up to you. Don't let me and my best friend down!"

At this moment, the magic power in Gilgamesh's body finally reached its peak. The blue veins on his forehead suddenly bulged, and then he raised his right hand and smashed it forward heavily.

"You are just a false god, crush me to pieces!"

[——The Verdant Horizon that Opens Up a Thousand Mountains (Ig-Alima)]

In a flash, huge golden ripples spread out in the void, and the huge mountain-slashing sword dropped from the sky above the angel, carrying the roar of the atmosphere and pressing heavily on the angel.

Boom——

There was a loud noise that tore the earth apart, and the strong wind that was stirred up brought with it the dust and sand that tore the city apart. At the same time, the huge angel that was advancing was also hit by the giant sword, and his body suddenly sank, and his legs suddenly dropped several meters.

"It's not over yet, false god! The real show has just begun!"

Gilgamesh's attack did not stop. The angel pinned down by the giant sword was reflected in his scarlet snake pupils. He raised his hands again.

"Come on! Sul-sagana!!!"

Then, a second legendary sword of the same unimaginable size fell from the sky. This sword was dancing with a blazing flame that seemed to never go out. Under the night sky, the eternal fire and the angel's light reflected each other, and then it pierced heavily into the huge body, and the raging fire ignited everything in an instant.

[——The Dawn Horizon that Burns the Seas (Sul-sagana)]

The angel was suddenly attacked by two swords held by the Sumerian God of War. His movements were restricted and his body was pierced and nailed to the spot. The endless wings of light behind him swayed slightly and wrapped around the hilts of the giant swords, trying to pull out the two giant swords.

Brush, brush, brush——!!

But Gilgamesh's attack came faster and more fiercely. In the same way, the light gate opened and moved like lightning. Countless treasures turned into flying blades, quickly splitting the angel's body into pieces.

It's just horrible--

The angel was still recovering quickly from the wounds pierced by the giant sword as before. The fragments and wounds cut by the storm of sharp blades were constantly wriggling and connecting to begin self-repairing. New wings of light and more magic power were also continuing to condense.

“I won’t give you another chance! My dear friend, catch it!!” Gilgamesh shouted angrily.

At this moment, the chains flying all over the sky were swaying and dancing wildly in the night sky like golden snakes. In a moment, each chain accurately wrapped around the broken body of the angel that was cut off by the treasure, and then dragged it into the King's treasury at an extremely fast speed and sealed it.

"It's useless, false god. No matter how fast you heal and adapt, my dear friend will accurately capture every piece of you and drag you into the King's Treasury to seal you away."

"Under this situation, how can you continue to recover and complete the adaptive evolution?!"

"Holy Sword Master, Lancer is almost ready, right? Get ready to attack!!"

"I'm ready, Hero King."

Finn smiled and nodded, the magic that had been accumulating for a while now flowing along his fluttering golden hair.

"If it's just this extent, I'm ready! I can release the holy sword at any time."

Raising the gorgeous hilt, Artoria raised the Sword of Victory high above her head.

"Well done, Saber!"

Gilgamesh laughed for the first time in this Holy Grail War. He looked at the angel who was still trying to repair himself and sneered with satisfaction.

"Are you ready? False God, prepare to face your end!"
