Gilgamesh's tone was unusually calm, as if he were not facing a dangerous enemy.
This calm made Saber even more wary.
"What...are you saying...?"
"I said, throw away your sword and become my woman."
In this scene and under these circumstances, Gilgamesh's words caught Saber completely off guard.
Because it was so unexpected, she was stunned on the spot.
"Wh...what did you say...what are you going to do!?"
"Even if you don't understand, don't you feel happy to hear this? It's not someone else, it's me, it's me, the King! I've acknowledged your worth!"
Gilgamesh opened his arms and announced with a joyful smile.
Perhaps only Gilgamesh would consider such a conclusion to be self-evident.
The Golden Hero King lowered his head, gazing at the woman before him who possessed a unique "charm".
"Abandon those pointless ideals and vows; they will only bind you and bring you misfortune. From now on, you only need to yearn for me and live under my protection. In that case, I swear in the name of the King of All Things that I will grant you all the happiness in this world."
"..."
His arrogant tone was enough to reignite the anger in Saber's already confused heart.
"Is it for such a ridiculous purpose... to compete with me for the Holy Grail?"
"I am not asking for your will, but telling you my decision."
Archer's face was filled with bloodthirsty pleasure, as if the angrier Saber was, the more excited he became.
Originally, this proud heroic spirit did not regard its opponent as an equal competitor.
He believed that enemies deserved only to be toyed with and humiliated, and he enjoyed watching them submit to him.
All of this was merely a pastime for the king.
"Alright, let me hear your answer. Although the answer is right in front of me, I'm curious to see what kind of expression you'll have when you say it."
"I refuse! I absolutely won't—"
call out----!
Before she could finish speaking, the rapidly descending Noble Phantasm grazed the hair beside her ear.
"You're mistaken, aren't you? I'll give you another chance to think about it."
As Gilgamesh spoke, the group of Noble Phantasms floating in the air swung their sharp blades menacingly, gradually approaching Saber.
Gilgamesh's confidence was not unfounded. With the near-infinite stockpile of Noble Phantasms in the Gate of Babylon, he was confident that he could destroy his opponent no matter what trump cards they had up their sleeve!
Gilgamesh's repeated provocative words successfully ignited Saber's uncontrollable anger.
"You will pay the price for your arrogance, Archer!"
At this moment, Gilgamesh frowned.
Because he saw Saber below, raising her holy sword high and gathering magical power.
She dispelled the Wind King's barrier, and the golden sword revealed its true form amidst the roaring storm. Its radiant blade seemed to have been granted a victory oath, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
The Knight King poured all his strength into gripping his sword.
The golden sword was raised high between the two wrists holding the hilt.
Light is gathering.
Those lights shone into the eyes of the Hero King, causing a rare hint of solemnity to appear on his expression.
Chapter Fifty-Three: Copying... Begin!
"Ex—calibur!!" (Excalibur)
That was a torrent of light.
Rushing forward, roaring, relentlessly grinding forward.
The darkness was cleaved by this light, just as Moses parted the sea, breaking through all obstacles and rushing straight toward the King of Heroes.
boom----!
Gilgamesh was so blinded by the dazzling light that he could hardly open his eyes.
"What... is that...?"
No matter how many Noble Phantasms he retrieves from the Royal Treasury, he can't withstand an attack of this magnitude.
The light converged into a surging torrent, completely engulfing the golden king.
"Damn it, how dare you make me look so pathetic!"
Just before the "King of Heroes" was about to vanish in the torrent of light from the holy sword, a chain extended from the other side, and Gilgamesh grabbed it as if grasping at a straw.
At the critical moment, Gilgamesh's most beloved Noble Phantasm, "Chains of Heaven," saved him from danger.
"This time, did you save me again, my friend...?"
Gilgamesh, who had fallen back to the ground, looked at the chains in his hands, his eyes seemingly filled with a myriad of emotions.
After witnessing Gilgamesh escape danger using the golden chains, the light from Saber's holy sword gradually faded.
While Excalibur is indeed powerful, it is meaningless if it does not hit its target.
It's not that you can't change course midway, but doing so would increase the consumption of magic power.
Irisviel's health has been somewhat 'weak' lately, so Saber had no choice but to give up.
"I'm sorry, Saber, it's all because of me..."
Having just received another soul, Irisviel's face was somewhat pale. If it weren't for Avalon constantly healing her body, she would have collapsed long ago.
"No, Irisviel, it's not your fault."
Saber shook his head repeatedly in response.
At this moment, Gilgamesh recovered from his previous state, and golden ripples once again spread across the sky as his Noble Phantasms emerged, their sharpness fully revealed.
"Such fierce resistance! It seems necessary to let you feel my majesty first!"
Gilgamesh stared at Saber with some displeasure.
Thanks to his class skill "Act Alone," he doesn't need to rely on his Master's magical power as much as other Servants.
However, logically speaking, Tokiomi Tohsaka should not have continued to exist after his death.
There is something unusual about the current situation.
Gilgamesh also wanted to know why all this was happening, but that would have to wait until he had dealt with the matter at hand.
Gilgamesh and Saber remained locked in a standoff.
The tense atmosphere froze in mid-air.
After a brief silence, a voice that surprised Gilgamesh came.
That was the boy's voice.
"it's not finished yet."
Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh paused, somewhat puzzled by its meaning.
"what?"
At that moment, the boy looked at Gilgamesh.
"It is because of Karna's help that I can now stand here and confront you without any scruples, King of Heroes!"
Upon hearing this, even Gilgamesh couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Do you wish to be my enemy?"
"That's exactly right, is there anything strange about that?"
Shirou, however, asked a question in return.
At the same time, azure light surged continuously in the sky behind him, and sword after sword appeared.
Gilgamesh watched this scene, a hint of coldness appearing in his jade-like red eyes.
"Ha, of all the bastards I've ever seen, you are the most foolish one."
Immediately afterwards, golden ripples spread across the sky, and hundreds of Noble Phantasms rained down on Shirou below!
Image: "Gate of the King's Treasure", Location: "Images/1673427309-100352746-109812082.jpg"
At the same time, the swords that appeared behind Shirou also shot into the sky, leaving blue trails, and collided with the Noble Phantasms!
Boom boom boom————!!!
The Noble Phantasms collided and exploded with thunderous sounds, causing Gilgamesh's pupils to shrink involuntarily.
This strong sense of déjà vu reminded Gilgamesh of his "Treasury of the King".
It's truly unbelievable that someone could possess a Noble Phantasm comparable to his own.
His "King's Wealth"
"Treasure" is a "key" that connects to the "Golden City," allowing access to the treasure vault and the free retrieval of treasures stored within.
Now, some bastard actually dares to compete with the oldest king in history in terms of the number of his Noble Phantasms?
Upon thinking of this, Gilgamesh felt a sudden surge of pity for the other party's ignorance, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, revealing a pleasant smile.
"You're courting death, you bastard!"
As these words were spoken, more golden ripples appeared in the sky behind Gilgamesh.
The golden "giant wall" that had previously faced Karna once again displayed its awe-inspiring majesty.
Irisviel and Saber, who were standing not far away, were both shocked by what they saw.
"Is this guy's Noble Phantasm inexhaustible...?"
"Irisviel exclaimed in amazement."
"After all, he was the King of Heroes, and legend has it that he possessed all the treasures in the world."
