The six servants were on guard against each other, and the stalemate was quickly broken.
By Archer and Berserker.
The Black Knight looked at Archer standing on the street lamp with a creepy gaze.
In contrast, the Golden Heroic Spirit accurately caught the Black Knight's gaze. Those red eyes contained no doubt or confusion, and they looked down at the Berserker in front of them with pure murderous intent.
"Who allowed you to look at me? Mad dog!"
A person of low status would look at someone with low status and dirty looks. For a person of noble status, being looked at with such eyes would be an unbearable humiliation. In Archer's eyes, the rude Berserker was even more unforgivable than Rider, who called himself the king.
But to Shinji, this sentence can actually be directly translated as "What are you looking at? It's pitch black."
The Black Knight made no sound, but continued to stare at Archer with his scarlet eyes, as if to say, "What are you looking at, Jin Shanshan?"
Archer's eyes narrowed, and he exuded a terrifying murderous aura. The swords and spears floating on Archer's left and right changed the direction of their attack. The direction the swords and spears pointed to was the top priority target, Berserker. Their attitude was clear - why don't you try to look at another one
Berserker responded with practical action - just give it a try.
The swords and spears floating to Archer's left and right changed the direction of their attack. The direction the swords and spears pointed to was Berserker, the top priority target.
"Believe it or not, I will cut you!"
—Okay, this is Shinji’s imagination, but actually Archer said it.
"At least please me with your falling apart, bastard!"
Along with the cold declaration, the gun and sword flew through the air.
He could launch a weapon that appeared out of nowhere without even touching it. That was why he became Archer.
But in the eyes of other Heroic Spirits, this way of using a Noble Phantasm is unusual. To a Heroic Spirit, a Noble Phantasm is like his own child, and throwing such an important Noble Phantasm recklessly like throwing a stone is really too careless.
Despite this, the destructive power is undoubtedly huge.
The road surface was blown up as if a bomb had exploded, and the asphalt turned into dust and flew everywhere, covering all vision.
Everyone held their breath.
In the misty dust, the long black shadow swayed and appeared.
Berserker is still alive.
He moved his feet slightly, and the road beneath his feet turned into stones and broke into pieces.
Archer threw the spear and sword. The spear, which flew slightly behind, missed the target, and the sword, which was supposed to fly in front and hit the target, did not cause any damage.
Why
Because that sword is in Berserker's hand.
"Is that guy really a Berserker?" Lancer whispered nervously.
Rider also responded softly: "Although he lost all rationality after going crazy, he is indeed a great warrior."
"What on earth happened?" Weber was confused. The previous round of attack and defense happened in a flash, and no master could see the whole process clearly.
"What? Don't you understand?" Rider watched with great interest, but did not forget to answer the Master's question, "The black one easily caught the sword flying towards him, and used it to deflect the gun that flew towards him."
It sounds like a simple description, but it shows Berserker's strong strength and his response to Archer's arrogant words - I don't believe it!
A Noble Phantasm can only become a weapon for a Heroic Spirit when it is in the hands of that Heroic Spirit. Even if it is in the hands of another Heroic Spirit, it cannot be used flexibly. It is incredible that he can perform such a skill by accurately repelling the Treasure Lance that is chasing after him with a Noble Phantasm that does not belong to him.
However, Archer was not surprised, but furious. All expressions were removed from his handsome face, leaving only the frozen zero-degree murderous intent.
"How dare you touch my treasure with your dirty hands? Do you want to die so badly, wild dog!"
Archer's surroundings shone with light once again. Surrounding his majestic face, a new group of Noble Phantasms suddenly appeared behind him, totaling sixteen.
There were not only guns and swords, but also axes, hammers, spears, and some strange weapons whose uses and properties were unknown.
All the weapons were polished to a mirror-like shine, and were filled with a huge amount of magic power. Each weapon embodied an equally mysterious feeling, and they were all true treasures.
"How is that possible?"
Waver accidentally said this, and the other Servants and Masters had the same idea.
A Heroic Spirit does not have just one Noble Phantasm. Some Heroic Spirits also secretly possess three or four super weapons that are as powerful as their Noble Phantasms. However, there is a limit to how many Noble Phantasms one can have.
When that golden Archer used his Noble Phantasms, he would release them one by one, like an endless supply of equipment, and use them all at once. And up to now, he had never used the same Noble Phantasm twice.
Among these sixteen treasures, one caught Shinji's attention.
This is a sickle blade, with a dark handle made of some unknown wood. The silver curved blade is like a crescent moon. There is no additional decoration on the entire artifact, and it is inconspicuous compared to the other gorgeous artifacts around it.
Shinji noticed it only because it was exactly the same as one of the Noble Phantasms he had obtained.
The true name of the Noble Phantasm is Hapre, which means scythe for hunting snakes. It was forged by Hephaestus, one of the twelve gods of Olympus. Perseus used it to cut off the head of Medusa, who had transformed into a monster, and Shinji also used it to destroy the body of Zouken Matou.
The characteristic of the treasure is "bending and prolonging life", which is a divine skill that can invalidate the special abilities of the undead - power. The wounds caused by the sickle blade cannot be healed. (The undead have a strong self-healing ability for naturally formed wounds.)
Under normal circumstances, there would not be two identical Noble Phantasms in the world, because the deeds of the Heroic Spirits were unique, and the Noble Phantasms derived from them were also unique.
But there are two exceptions. First, if two heroes have the same legend of using the same treasure, then they may carry the same treasure when they appear in the world. Take Hercules as an example. He once took the belt of Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons. When Hercules and Hippolyta were summoned at the same time, Hercules with the "Twelve Glories" and the original owner of the belt both wore the same belt, even though the maker of the belt, Ares, only made this one. (See Fatestrangefake for details)
Archer's situation is another one. He possesses the originals of all the treasures in the world. Hapre is such an original sickle. The sickle of death of Thanatos, the god of death in Greek mythology, is derived from it.
This treasure is the product of Archer's anecdote that he "collected all the treasures in the world and stored them in the golden city of ancient Babylon". Only Archer himself holds the key to the golden city, which is called "Gate of Babylon", which means "Treasure of the King".
Archer's true identity is Gilgamesh, the fifth king of ancient Uruk and the protagonist of the oldest epic of mankind, The Epic of Gilgamesh. He is praised as the original heroic spirit and the oldest "Hero King".
Because it is the oldest, its collection of treasures and technology is the foundation of human development and is the "original of human wisdom". As long as humans create new things, the prototypes of new things will appear in the King's Treasure. In other words, the treasures in the King's Treasure are increasing every moment, and Gilgamesh, as the owner, does not know how many treasures he has.
It is precisely because he possesses the "King's Treasure" that Gilgamesh has become the ceiling of heroic spirits. No matter what kind of opponent he encounters, he can always take out the treasure that restrains the opponent, thereby becoming the first "golden target", ahem, and earning the reputation of being invincible.
"So, civilian players like me hate the big spenders, especially the big spenders who spend money on props and are on the opposite side."
Fortunately, Shinji's voice was low and Archer didn't hear it, otherwise Archer would have aimed half of his Noble Phantasms at Shinji instead of aiming all sixteen Noble Phantasms at Berserker at the same time as now.
"Let me see how long you can keep up this bad habit of your hands."
