Take a step forward and step on the void.
Runes naturally appeared at the landing point, like materialized steps, supporting Scathach's body to climb upwards.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh switched the magic sword Gram into a strange-looking prop that looked like an African or South American sacrificial vessel.
Purple-black waves were released from the sacrificial vessel, and the runes wrapped around Scathach suddenly disappeared.
Not only Rune, but all magic was disturbed by the waves emitted by the ritual vessel, making it difficult to continue. There is no doubt that this is a special treasure designed to target magic. Destroying this is equivalent to cutting off an arm of the enemy.
The queen, who lost the protection of Rune, remained in her movements and continued to step on the void. Although there were no runes where she stepped, ripples spread out, increasing her ascent speed instead of slowing down.
This is of course not magic, but pure footwork. When the footwork is trained to the extreme, it can not only shrink the ground, but also walk in the air.
However, at this time, the "King's Treasure" that had lost the restraint of the rune had already turned its spearhead and was aimed at the woman below.
Following the master's command, all the treasures fired at once.
Without any protection from a Noble Phantasm or magical defense, no Servant could withstand such an attack.
Yes, without exception. Not Karna, not Altria, not Ozymandias, not Solomon, and not Scathach.
Thousands of treasures easily covered everything, and time and again the already devastated and scarred earth and space emitted unbearable sounds of pain.
Gilgamesh did not feel proud after launching such an attack, but instead showed a trace of solemnity. He held the sacrificial vessel tightly in one hand, and the sword of rebellion in the other hand roared again, not forward, but behind him.
Accompanied by a fierce collision of power interactions, the solemn reason was revealed.
Scathach, who was targeted by countless treasures and was theoretically doomed to die, somehow escaped the encirclement and came behind Gilgamesh, standing on the same level as the latter.
The King of Heroes retreated by the recoil of his sword swing, while launching his Noble Phantasm, and exclaimed: "How amazing! Can martial arts be so advanced?"
"I did it without even realizing it."
Scathach continued to step on the void, her body uncertain, like a phantom flashing and shuttling in the torrential rain of treasures.
Her Majesty, who had trained her footwork to perfection, could not only walk in the air, but also travel through space over short distances. It was in this way that she escaped from a deadly situation and forced Gilgamesh to use the Sword of Separation for the second time.
"We are very close, Hero King!"
"So what?" He snorted coldly, a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat flashed in his red eyes, and the treasure in his hand was switched again.
The invisible force field was released outward with the Hero King as the center. The air within the force field instantly became viscous, as if it were a high-density liquid, greatly affecting Scathach's swift steps.
Taking this opportunity, Gilgamesh opened the treasure house in all directions and launched a 360-degree all-round shooting.
Scathach was surrounded once again—and a brand new rune appeared beside her!
The flowing runes interweave into a materialized curtain, like a huge shield, emitting the black and silver unique to steel.
That is the highest level of defense summoned by the "Original Rune" passed down by the great god Odin - the Divine Iron Shield. This is no longer just the realm of magic, but the realm of God above that. The magic treasure that is merely interfering cannot interfere with their existence.
Even the numerous treasures collected by the King of Heroes could hardly break through their defenses. By the time they did, the Queen of Demon Realm also rushed out of the 360-degree encirclement and continued to advance towards her opponent.
Gilgamesh did not dare to be careless. He knew that his hand-to-hand combat skills were far inferior to Scathach's. If he let her get close, his chances of winning would be slim. So he took out his treasures one by one, exerting different special effects to create trouble for Scathach. And Scathach used her own wisdom and extraordinary skills to deal with them one by one.
There is no doubt that this is another battle between extremes.
Gilgamesh has a nearly unlimited collection and stands at the top of what is commonly known as the "prop flow".
Scathach has reached perfection in martial arts and magic, reaching the pinnacle of technology.
No matter which side displays what, it can easily crush the vast majority of heroes.
But in the clash between the two kings, it was just an ordinary and frequent interaction.
Before he knew it, Gilgamesh had used more than six figures of treasures, each of which was the crystallization of human wisdom.
Scathach has displayed thousands of martial arts and magic, each of which is a magical skill that warriors and magicians from ancient times to the present have dreamed of.
But even so, there is still no end in sight for the fight between the two, as if it is an endless cycle.
I don't know how much time has passed. It could be very long, or it could be very short. In front of these two unique beings in the world, time has lost its meaning.
The endless cycle finally had an opportunity to be broken.
On one side of the battle, the Queen of Demon Realm, who was united with her spear and fearless, found an opportunity in the immeasurable entanglement and shortened the distance between the two to ten meters, a very dangerous number for archers.
However, at this crucial moment, the spearmen suddenly stopped and stopped advancing, and the archers did not take the opportunity to distance themselves or launch an attack.
The two of them tacitly maintained their current distance, staring at each other silently, with the corners of their mouths simultaneously drawing a resolute arc.
They who can see through fate and cause and effect all know very well that this is the final blow. All confrontations, all wins and losses, everything depends on this next blow.
Gilgamesh raised the Sword of Separation for the third time.
In response to him, the "Noble Phantasms" scattered around and never recovered resonated.
With the amplification of the Noble Phantasm, the Sword of Disunity, which already possessed ultimate power, was further strengthened. Even before it was officially swung, it had already distorted the world.
Scathach also collected all the runes and condensed them at the tip of the gun. With a light stroke, she left a thrilling space crack.
This confrontation is a showdown between the "strongest" and the "strongest".
So, the next moment when the two of them looked at each other and smiled again—
The sword and the gun were handed out at the same time.
"Enuma Elish!"
"Extinction thorn, extreme!"
The two forces of creation and destruction, which were more powerful than before, intersected and engraved the proof in the world.
It left an indelible mark on the sky, the earth, the sea, and in the hearts of those who felt it, and finally swallowed up both of them.
PS: Divine Iron Shield is a move of Skadi = Scathach in FGO2.2, and it is assumed that the Master can also use it here. In 2.2, the Great Goddess Skadi = Scathach summoned a large number of Divine Iron Shields to make everyone invincible, and the Master here can only use it to protect himself due to the restrictions of his job and spiritual base. Skadi = Scathach also showed how strong the power of the main god level is. The magic power covers the whole land, and it can heal the earth in one breath after it is burned and riddled with holes. The omnipotent rune can attack, defend, and hide. If it weren't for love as a creed, the protagonist and his party would have been finished long ago.
PS2: I originally wanted to continue posting dog food, but after thinking about it, I decided to give up. I will finish writing the duel between Shanshan and Shijiang first and post it tomorrow.
