The Epic of Gilgamesh is undoubtedly the oldest epic in existence and has extremely important significance for the entire human history. There is no doubt about this.
But significance does not equal popularity. When it comes to popularity, there are many epics that can be compared with it or even surpass it, such as "The Iliad" and "The Nibelungen" which records Norse mythology.
The name of the highest-level magic mastered by Shinji, "Epic Ragnarok", also comes from "The Nibelungs", and its doomsday scene is strikingly similar to the Nabistine Flood in the "Epic of Gilgamesh".
There was always catastrophe fire falling from the sky, and then raging waves submerged the world.
The Hero King, who had achieved epic sublimation, recreated this scene with his Noble Phantasm, and Shinji added his own understanding as a bystander.
Since Gilgamesh provided such a suitable environment, he would not let it go no matter what.
Judging from the level of magicians, Shinji is definitely not excellent. Not to mention Loreleiya who is at the top, even outstanding young people like Rin, Sakura, Luvia, Flat, and Sfin are better than him.
But only at this moment, only now when the time, the place and the people are all right, he broke through the limitations of his own level, reached the sky in one step without using any treasures, and got a glimpse of the pinnacle of Rune magic.
The brilliance he radiated could not be ignored even by the two kings who controlled "opening" and "extinction".
He gathered the remaining raging waves, transforming them into nine roaring and rolling water dragons, with the light of dusk running through the whole thing, reenacting the myth and recreating the epic.
Scathach, who saw this scene, was pleased: "Although I don't know where you learned it from, it is indeed very well done. My disciple, the one I place my hope in."
Gilgamesh snorted, "How dare you be distracted when you are fighting me? You really don't know how to live or die."
"It's not a distraction, it's just a combat instinct." Scathach chuckled, "If Shinji doesn't use it, I'll use it myself."
"I see."
"You don't look worried?"
"Worried? Worried about whom? Rin?" Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows proudly, "There's nothing to worry about. It's just that Rin can handle things of this level. Not only do you have hope in that clown, but I also have full trust in Rin - the outcome is still unknown! Let's see -"
Before he finished speaking, the sky that was obscured by the light of dusk and nine water dragons suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light.
That is pure magic light, a brilliance that dazzles magicians and appears only when the concentration of magic reaches its extreme.
This radiance broke the restrictions of the water dragon and broke through the obstruction of the dusk light, like a sharp sword piercing straight into the intersection of nine dragons.
"Oh, there is such a trick up your sleeve." The queen, who controls the cause and effect of the world, showed a rare expression of surprise. "This is not magic, it is magic. That old man actually - interesting, really interesting."
"It's just a sideshow for kids after all. You should have rested enough, Queen of Shadow Country."
The sword of Separation held by Gilgamesh began to spin again, and as if in response, the space behind him also began to glow.
"Aren't you talking about yourself, King of Heroes?" Scathach moved her heels and carved ancient runes on the ground.
Another tacit eye contact.
Then, dozens and hundreds of "treasures" appeared from the "King's Treasure".
Almost at the same time, the original rune one became two, two became four, four became sixteen, increasing exponentially and covering the earth in an instant.
After a breath interval, the treasure and the runes moved towards each other, and the dense collision sounds resounded throughout the battlefield like a howling strong wind.
However, this was just the most ordinary greeting for the two standing kings. In the intervals between endless greetings, the two lonely kings made new actions at the same time.
Gilgamesh connected the space to the depths of the treasury, allowing the first-class items in the collection to float around him one by one.
Scathach turned the tip of her spear and tapped the ground lightly.
Suddenly, dozens of scarlet magic spears exactly the same as the one she held in her hand pierced the ground and were neatly arranged into a spear formation, waiting for their master's inspection.
There is no doubt that these are the same model of the famous magic spear "Gáe Bolg" in Celtic mythology. They are all mythical weapons made by the mistress of the Shadow Kingdom after she went to the sea to hunt the "Beast of Waves" before she was excluded from the outside world.
Cu Chulainn took only the best quality one. The quality here refers to the comprehensive consideration of lethality, accuracy, feel, and magic consumption. If we simply compare the attributes of one aspect, there are many that are better than the famous "Gáe Bolg".
These are exactly what Scathach relies on to fight against Gilgamesh's high-level treasures.
As if showing a treasure to a close friend, the King of Heroes solemnly waved the treasure with his own hands.
Select the original sword of original sin.
The original magic sword Gram.
The Indestructible Supreme Saint Durandal.
The Sword of Hegni.
Spiral Sword.
The Great God's Declaration (Gungnir).
...
Each one is a famous treasure, and each one has accompanied its owner in accomplishing earth-shaking feats in later generations.
Now, they are all being used against one person, the immortal Everqueen.
The Eternal Queen responded one by one with her own magic spear. Her magic spear was originally made in the style of a javelin, and was most suitable for such a confrontation.
For powerful weapons like the Spiral Sword and Gram, use the enhanced damage type. For high-precision weapons like the Great God Declaration, use the one with the guaranteed hit attribute.
In the intervals between Gilgamesh switching his Noble Phantasms, he would occasionally launch his fastest attack.
Perhaps in terms of the quality of the Noble Phantasm, Scathach was far inferior to Gilgamesh, but in terms of the skill of using the Noble Phantasm, Scathach had an absolute advantage, and the two offset each other. The two kings were once again in a stalemate.
However, such a stalemate is doomed to not last long. The Hero King's Noble Phantasm is endless, but Scathach's magic spear is not. After all, it has an end. Especially when Gilgamesh reacted and shifted the target of destruction from Scathach herself to the magic spear, the situation became more obvious.
Before long, all of Scathach's magic spears were destroyed, except for the last two in her hands.
Gilgamesh, who was looking down from above, had no intention of stopping, and swung the magic sword Gram with great force, as if he wanted to chop the woman below in half with one blow.
Scathach's expression remained unchanged. She continued to fire runes into the air while stomping hard on the ground, rushing towards the Hero King in the sky at a speed even faster than a javelin.
Noble Phantasm? Equipment? Her positioning has never been this. She is a true technical expert, and her skills trained to the extreme are enough to kill gods!
PS: No buying and selling, no killing, just be a beast of the waves.
