Magician in Type-Moon

Should we use EA? Although we have already discerned the origin of that sword, proving that the person before us is qualified to pay homage to EA.

But this wasn't a direct confrontation; to put it bluntly, it was more like a shameless sneak attack.

A shield-type Noble Phantasm that cannot unleash its true name would likely be unable to withstand such a close-range attack.

Do we really need to use EA?

His arrogance and pride as a king restrained his actions.

However, someone else made the decision for him.

Below the battlefield, Tokiomi was constantly watching the King of Heroes' every move. Ever since he was attacked by both sides' Servants, he had thought about having Archer use Ea to directly destroy his enemies.

Now is not the time to hesitate. Tokiomi felt a little bitter, but he still used his second Command Seal. He would be exhausted by the second day alone, and the situation in the next battle would be even more difficult to control.

"My lord, please use the 'Sword of Ea' to repel the invaders!"

"You fool!!"

Archer's eyes blazed with fury, and this time he finally roared in anger.

"Get your identity straight, you courtier! To spout such nonsense about the emperor is a grave offense deserving of death."

But the actions in his hands did not slow down. Since a decision had been made, it should be carried out promptly, even if it was not his own intention.

Among all of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms, the "Heaven-Opening Sword" is one of the few exceptions that is particularly valued.

This sword has no name.

The so-called "Heaven-Opening Sword" was merely a nickname Gilgamesh gave it for convenience.

Even more so, it may not even qualify as a sword, after all, it existed before swords or guns, in an era older than humans or planets, a treasure among treasures wielded by gods to create the world, embodying pure power itself.

It is the thing that split the heavens and earth that cleaved the beginning of everything on this planet.

Cut through the void and create the sky, penetrate the sky and return to the void.

Symbolizing the power of beginning and end, it can only be used by Gilgamesh, who inherited the divine essence.

Therefore, when Gilgamesh wields this sword with all his might, it will be classified as follows: a World-Defying Noble Phantasm.

The attacking Noble Phantasms against individuals, armies, cities, etc. will vary in level based on their nature.

When Heroic Spirits fight one-on-one, they often use Noble Phantasms against individuals rather than against armies or cities. However, the power contained in Noble Phantasms against the world is far beyond what can be measured by factors such as teamwork or battle situation.

It is an absolute force that has the potential to destroy the world itself.

Whether the opponent is a single entity or a group, it will disintegrate the world it belongs to.

The attack unleashed by the Hero King possessed power of this level.

However, now he has to strike down a heroic spirit whose true nature is still unknown in order to save himself.

That is the Holy Sword Wielder who wields the Holy Sword of Stars.

Although the power of the Star Sword was not fully unleashed, it was enough to make EA shine a little.

"...Enuma—Elish, the Star of Creation!"

Gilgamesh raised Ea high, the cylindrical sword spinning in his hand with a roar like a rock-cutting machine.

Air rapidly swirls around the sword, forming small tornadoes. These tornadoes intertwine and merge into a massive, distorted mass of air. All the air is drawn to the center of the sword, compressed to its limit, forming an incredibly deadly weapon.

The air density kept increasing, exceeding the limits of physics, and eventually transformed into a blade capable of cutting through everything, beginning to devour the surrounding space.

Light and sound were drawn to the distorted air, and silence and darkness filled the area around the sword.

The distorted air burst forth, converging around EA. The myriad things compressed to their limits were released along with the slash, and the immense pressure released caused cracks in space. The power of nothingness overturned the world.

The gravelly earth cracked open like clay, and the sky and clouds were easily torn apart.

An unbearable light erupted from the blade, and a pillar of energy rose from the sword, shooting straight into the sky. The entire sky seemed to be torn apart by this power, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.

EA's power is like the chaos at the beginning of the universe, with a world-destroying momentum, turning everything into nothingness.

The energy pillar hurtled straight toward the enemy, as if it would tear the entire world apart and devour everything.

With Gilgamesh's roar, Ea unleashed unparalleled power, transcending the boundaries of physics and magic, creating a devastating shockwave.

Space collapsed in the face of this power, and heaven and earth seemed to be torn apart by it, proclaiming absolute destruction and chaos.

EA's beam of light pierced the heavens and the earth, and the light bursting from the blade intertwined in the air, as if even time and space were being torn apart.

This strike symbolizes the absolute power of creation, turning everything in its path into dust.

It was like light and darkness, order and chaos, locked in a fierce confrontation, with power reaching its ultimate point of conflict.

EA is like the chaos at the beginning of the universe, with a world-destroying momentum, turning everything into nothingness.

The brilliance of Excalibur symbolizes humanity's indomitable will, shining with the light of hope and glory.

This battle has transcended the imagination of ordinary people, becoming a mythical duel.

In this interplay of light and shadow, Gilgamesh and Saber's wills clashed fiercely in the air.

Despite Gilgamesh's hasty drawing of his sword, the EA in his hand still displayed formidable power.

However, Saber's Excalibur was prepared in advance, and the power of light and destruction clashed fiercely in the air, sparking dazzling sparks.

The air was filled with magical vibrations.

As the destructive storms intertwined, their forces gradually dissipated, with most of their energy canceling each other out, but the remaining impact remained incredibly powerful.

In the final assault, Gilgamesh's Ea power was gradually suppressed by Saber's Excalibur.

The radiant sword light pierced through EA's aura and headed straight for Gilgamesh.

A round, shield-shaped Noble Phantasm suddenly appeared in front of Archer; it was a shield made by Hephaestus, the god of forging.

Its name is "Achilles Cosmos, a small world that surrounds the sky".

Even among all the Noble Phantasms, it is a top-tier defensive Noble Phantasm.

Although its true name cannot be revealed, its defensive capabilities are sufficient to block the remaining magic power.

Even though the subsequent beam cannon was blocked, the impact it caused was still powerful, slamming Gilgamesh from the sky into the ground.

Golden spiritual particles fluttered in the air, as if announcing the temporary end of this fierce battle.

The once supreme king has now fallen to the ground. Despite the protection of his defensive artifact, he was still unable to completely avoid the powerful impact, leaving him in a sorry state.

The moment it landed, it smashed a huge crater into the ground, sending dust flying and whipping up a gust of wind.

Judging from Archer's previous attitude towards everyone, I expected to hear angry curses and insults.

But what came from the deep pit in the ground was a wild laugh; the king remained noble, shining even in the dust.

"I admit, you are stronger this time!"

Chapter 76 The Conqueror's Strategy

Gilgamesh looked up at Saber in the sky, as if the heavy blow had been nothing more than a game to him. His laughter echoed in the air, filled with undisguised arrogance and disdain.

"However, the outcome is not yet decided!"

He stood in the center of the pit, the dust on his body blown away by the wind pressure, his golden eyes flashing with an arrogant light.

This is Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. Nothing can truly defeat him. Neither defeat in battle nor the loss of friends, nor even the destruction of Uruk, can truly crush him.

"king..."

Tokiomi was watching from a short distance away, and it seemed that only now was he truly recognizing the true nature of this Heroic Spirit.

He fell silent, no longer speaking. The future course of the battle was no longer clear, so it was better to let this king run rampant here.

He was somewhat exhausted. Ever since he chose the path of magic, he had been silently preparing for this Holy Grail War, but only two days into the war, his body and mind were already under double pressure.

"I'm really tired... then..."

Let loose, stop overthinking, immerse yourself in this Holy Grail War, and enjoy it.

"Oh?"

Sensing the change in the servant's magical state, Gilgamesh turned to look at Tokiomi and couldn't help but laugh.

The low chuckle gradually turned into a loud laugh, and the loud laugh turned into a maniacal laugh.

The sudden change in the attitude of this high-ranking king left everyone else present somewhat bewildered.

Except for Iskandar the Conqueror, he understood that this was the same as when he had ever failed in his conquests; he would not lose his fighting spirit, but would instead become even more determined.

Then he burst into laughter.

"What are you doing?" Waver was puzzled by his servant's unrestrained laughter, which seemed to be infected with a virus that spread laughter, venting some indescribable emotion.

"Kid, you have a long way to go, but remember this: no matter what you face next, face it with a smile and conquer it with a smile."

"Who understands this?"

The Knight King Artoria also descended gracefully from the sky, landing directly opposite Gilgamesh.

The battlefield here is now in a three-sided encirclement.

Seeing the three Heroic Spirits surrounding him, Gilgamesh laughed heartily:

"State your names; your names are worthy of my remembrance."

"Roar? I am Iskandar, the renowned conqueror." The one who always answers first on such questions is the indifferent giant spirit.

The revelation of his real name was no big deal to him.

"Gil de Rais".

The second-ranked Heroic Spirit, Berserker, though his face was obscured by black mud and his words were brief and hoarse, was no less determined in his fighting spirit. His ferocious aura undoubtedly demonstrated his resolve.

Then everyone's gaze turned to the Heroic Spirit who had remained silent for a long time and was the last to enter.

Revealing his name at this moment was certainly not a good choice, but looking at the holy sword in his hand that had dispelled the "Wind King Barrier," he knew that his identity had most likely been exposed.

"Arthur Pendragon".

Rider seemed very interested in Saber's remarks, raising his eyebrows exaggeratedly.

"It's really surprising. I never expected that the famous Knight King would be such a young girl."

"How about tasting this young lady's sword, Conqueror?"
