Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 44 Odin's Actions

“Hahahahaha—”

When Kamiya Yu and others encountered a world-destroying flood, Tōsaka Tokiomi was also facing the most dangerous crisis in his life. If he was not careful, his magic power would be drained on the spot.

Painful gasps echoed in the empty room. Tōsaka Tokiomi half-knelt on the ground with a pale face, big drops of sweat dripping from his face onto the wooden floor.

Although Tokiomi tried his best to maintain the elegance of a noble, the tingling magic circuits in his body forced him to behave in such an ugly manner.

If he hadn't taken out the gems he had treasured for a long time, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

Gilgamesh's terrifying mana consumption was like a spring breeze elf, constantly draining the magic power from Tokiomi's body.

Even due to the high speed of operation, his magic circuits, which were not considered excellent, let out a wail of pain as they were overwhelmed.

Will die, will die, will die, will die——

Tokiomi could feel the burning nerves all over his body conveying this message, but he was powerless to do anything.

Because of the continuous severe pain, he couldn't concentrate at all. Even if he wanted to use the Command Spell to make Gilgamesh leave the battlefield and return to his side, he couldn't do it.

"Am I really going to die..."

In a trance, this thought popped up in Tokiomi's mind, but his heart was full of resentment.

As a magician, Tōsaka Tokiomi participated in the Holy Grail War simply to obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill his wish to glimpse the "root".

But why did the situation become like this?
Even though he had already drawn Archer's trump card and had the greatest advantage, he was about to die from the exhaustion of his magic power...

What a joke!
He had not yet fulfilled the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish of entering the source, and he could not die in such a miserable state.

As if he had been saved from a desperate situation, Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly burst out with a powerful willpower, and his originally shaky body was temporarily stabilized.

At the same time, as if blessed by the goddess of luck, Gilgamesh also stopped drawing magic power.

"call……"

Feeling the pressure in his body disappear, Tokiomi suddenly fell to the ground, an expression of having survived a disaster appearing on his face.

“By the Command Seal, O King of Heroes, immediately—”

After taking a short breath, Tokiomi immediately used the Command Seal to try to summon Gilgamesh back from the battlefield.

As an omnipotent command spell, it can transfer servants back to one's side even if they are in an alien space such as an inherent barrier.

However, just as Tōsaka Tokiomi was using the Command Seal, his voice became muffled in his throat.

Everything, from thoughts to the hands on the clock, stopped.

At some point, a column of light shot up into the sky outside the window of the room.

That's thunder, falling lightning.

The moment it hit the ground, everything stopped.

"Blind and foolish man."

That is not a sound, not a tone.

But it resonated in his mind like a switch being flipped, and Tokiomi's consciousness returned to normal.

“You, you are—?!”

After regaining consciousness, Tōsaka Tokiomi unconsciously looked towards the abnormality and was suddenly shocked and speechless.

There—in front of the window that was originally empty, a tall figure suddenly appeared.

Although his face could not be seen clearly under the bright light, his mysterious and awe-inspiring figure was fully visible to him.

In the pillar of light, He was draped in a wide cloak, His right eye gleaming with a mysterious light. Holding a huge sickle-like staff, He stood silently in front of the window.

Even without being told, Tokiomi knew that the person coming was Caster, whom Kamiya Yu had never met.

However, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had heard of or learned about such an existence in a story or myth. The strong impact made Tōsaka Tokiomi's mind a little dazed, and he stared blankly at the person in front of him.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

"This is a warrior's test, you must not destroy it."

As the words fell, Odin did not continue speaking. He walked forward slowly and came in front of Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"So, go to sleep."

As the ancient god spoke, he raised his wand and tapped the ground.

In an instant, a blue light lit up, and mysterious runes condensed in the void, then flew towards the back of Tokiomi's hand engraved with the Command Seal.

Zhi——!
At this moment, the sound of the contract being severed rang in Tokiomi's ears, and at the same time, an inexplicable fatigue began to surge in his heart.

“No, don’t—”

He wanted to speak out to stop it, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, and his conscious mind gradually sank.

"You're the Great God, Odin...?!"

In the last moment before he fell into a coma, it seemed as if a flash of inspiration came to him, and he vaguely understood Odin's true identity.

After knowing this, Tokiomi couldn't help but draw a bitter arc at the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that the servant who signed a contract with Kamiya Yu would be Odin, the king of gods in Norse mythology.

"It seems that I have truly lost to you this time, Yu-kun."

...............

"Ok?"

High in the sky, Gilgamesh, who was recovering his magic power, seemed to feel the disappearance of the contract, and he couldn't help but frowned.

Because the contract was suddenly interrupted, it meant that the Master, Tōsaka Tokiomi, had met with misfortune.

However, Gilgamesh did not take this little accident to heart, and his frown soon relaxed.

To him, it was just the loss of his Master, not a big deal.

Possessing A-level independent action, Gilgamesh can remain in the world for three days even without anyone providing him with magic power.

Besides, there are items in the King's Treasury that can replenish magic power.

Compared to the insignificant Master, Gilgamesh now wants to enjoy the dying struggles of these bastards below.

Looking down from the sky, the endless desert had long been submerged by floods, and the surging waves swallowed up all the blank servants of the King's Army.

The wailing and struggling sounds resounded through the sky.

Faced with such a terrifying world-destroying flood, Kamiya Yu not only did not feel afraid, he even felt like laughing.

He originally thought that Gilgamesh would take out the strongest sword of separation, but unexpectedly, he used the Flood Sword that could trigger the special attack of salvation.

"There's a saying that goes, 'Restraint is more important than anything else, and special attacks are more powerful than anything else.'"

"Glittering Gold, you've got it all your own way this time."

Kamiya Yu looked at the old sword that he had grasped tightly in his hand, the Holy Sword of the Star, and thought silently in his heart.

However, he did not relax because of this, but quickly accumulated magic power to prevent accidents from happening again.

After all, no one knows whether there will be more unexpected events in the future.

If Gilgamesh managed to survive the flash of the holy sword, Kamiya Yu would have a great gift waiting for him.
