The roads on the ground are not like the unobstructed sky where one can fly freely. First of all, there must be a road before one can drive. Therefore, when Saber stopped the car, Archer and Rider had already decided their lives.
Archer and Tōsaka Tokiomi climbed the mountain at a leisurely pace along the approach to the shrine. The former was aloof and the latter was elegant, a king and a minister, and from this perspective, the two of them were indeed compatible.
Although there were no street lights on the approach to the shrine, the brilliant light emanating from Archer's body was more dazzling than any artificial light, as if he was saying that his own kingly light was the only authentic one, and the others were just inferior counterfeits.
This golden beacon in the dark night, the behavior of a humanoid self-propelled light source naturally attracted the attention of Shinji and others in Ryudo Temple.
No, before that, Gilgamesh had already become the focus - he killed Iskandar with absolute advantage and without any injury, which shocked everyone.
Everyone present knew the strength of the Conqueror King's "King's Army", and none of the remaining servants dared to guarantee that they could survive the crushing of the army, let alone remain unscathed, including Scathach. But Archer did it, although no one knew how he did it, but he did kill Archer from the front, and approached with his treasured sword, carrying the momentum of a great victory.
When they reached the middle of the mountain, the Hero King raised his head proudly and smiled disdainfully. The next second, the crystal ball connected to the "Clairvoyance" exploded. Although no one knew what kind of treasure destroyed the Clairvoyance, everyone knew that Gilgamesh was announcing his arrival in this way.
"You mice hiding in the dark, come out and greet me when I come."
This scene completely ignited Scathach's blood. She materialized two guns and was ready to go out and have a good fight with the Hero King.
Shinji was quick to grab his Servant and said, "Calm down, calm down. That's the opponent that Uncle and Lancelot are going to defeat. We agreed that your opponent is Saber. Besides, it's boring to fight with a guy who throws things around and has no technical skills, isn't it?"
Scathach exerted force, broke free of Shinji's hand, kicked Shinji to the ground, and snorted: "Do you believe this?"
Shinji rubbed his chest and skillfully got up from the ground. The corners of his mouth were bitter, but his eyes flashed with determination and unyielding.
"Master, please let me ask you, okay?"
Shinji knew he was lying. Mindlessly throwing away Noble Phantasms was only the first state Gilgamesh used to deal with bastards. Above that, there was the "Sword Switching Flow" to deal with difficult guys. In this state, Gilgamesh would analyze the opponent's strength and choose targeted Noble Phantasms based on the opponent's weaknesses. He once defeated Saber with three moves of "Sword Switching Flow" in the Fifth Holy Grail War. The next level is the full-strength full-strength known as "Serious Flash" and "Invincible Flash". When facing an opponent who has won his respect, he will draw the Sword of Separation and fight with him with all his strength.
From the moment Scathach gave her her name, Gilgamesh treated her the best. Not only did he rarely call Scathach a "bastard", but his eyes never showed contempt. It was not known whether he recognized Scathach's strength or her feat of killing gods. Those who know Babylonian mythology know that Gilgamesh hated the gods who always caused him trouble, especially a goddess who symbolized war and Venus.
Shinji has a feeling that Gilgamesh is waiting for Scathach, so he didn't put away the sword of separation. Once Scathach goes to battle, she will be greeted by "Heaven and Earth Separation·Star of Creation", or possibly "Heaven and Earth Wave·Moment of Finale", which only exists in the game and is said to have more destructive power.
To withstand such a blow, Scathach could only use her hidden trump card. Although it was a blow that was superior to all others and powerful enough to kill gods, the body of a Servant was too fragile to withstand such a huge output. To release a thorn that would destroy all things, the Servant had to pay the price of its own destruction.
Shinji would never allow this to happen. Even if he had to use the Command Spell, he would stop Scathach from fighting.
Feeling Shinji's determination, Scathach kicked his disciple twice more, then turned to the dazed Kariya and scolded him, "What are you still standing here for? If you don't fight me, I really can't bear it anymore."
"Oh, oh!" Kariya nodded quickly and called out, "Berserker!"
A pitch-black knight exuding an ominous aura appeared behind Kariya, pulled up his sleeves, and revealed the Command Seal on his wrist.
"I order you, my Servant, by the command seal, to regain your sanity, even if only temporarily."
"I order you with the second Command Spell, my Servant, to regain your sanity."
"I order you with the third Command Seal, my Servant, to regain your sanity."
Under the effect of the three consecutive strokes of the Command Seal, the greatest achievement of Zouken Matou's life, a magical crystal that can trigger "miracles" in a short period of time, the mental influence brought about by Berserker's job skill "Frenzy" is being offset.
The madness that filled Lancelot's entire body and penetrated deep into his soul gradually dissipated. His face, which had become hideous and terrifying due to the madness, regained its original handsomeness, and his armor, which had been contaminated by ominous magic, turned back to its original shine.
When the last trace of chaos in his eyes disappeared, Lancelot finally resumed his proper posture. He was the flower of knights who, like Diarmuid, fascinated thousands of women - the "Knight of the Lake"!
"Master—" The melancholy voice indicated that the Berserker had completely regained consciousness.
"Ber—no, Lancelot, you know what to do now." Kariya took a deep breath, and his right hand unconsciously rubbed his left wrist, where he held his final trump card.
"Yes, although I am in a frenzy, I still remember everything you said." Lancelot nodded slightly.
"How long can you stay awake?"
"30 minutes."
Hearing this, Kariya lowered his head with some guilt: "Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this now, but - I'm sorry, because of my wish, I made you crazy. You should have been redeemed earlier."
Lancelot smiled and shook his head: "No, my Master, without you I may never be redeemed, this is enough. Now, let me fulfill your wish and give you victory."
"Then let's go to battle, Lancelot!" Kariya pointed in the direction of the mountain gate.
"Yes my master!" Lancelot hammered his armor lightly with knightly etiquette.
"Uncle, I will transfer a few more Command Seals to you, just in case."
"That's not necessary. You said that the sooner the battle with Gilgamesh ends, the better. No matter how many Command Spells we use, it's meaningless. 30 minutes is enough for Lancelot and I to fulfill our wishes. Besides, this is my battle. I've already asked you and the Master to help me so much. Let me do it myself from now on."
Kariya shook his head at Shinji, turned around and walked out of the side hall. Lancelot, the "Knight of the Lake", followed his Master, just like he had followed his King into battle countless times.
The two of them walked out of the mountain gate together, towards the golden king and Tōsaka Tokiomi.
