With an irresistible force, he unleashed a sword strike capable of shattering the world.
The battle against the Beast II Earth Mother Goddess "Tiamat" has come to an end.
That sword strike shattered the "beast's" body, turning it into nothingness and filling the world.
Now, this sword strike is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over one's head in mythology, and no one knows when it will fall.
No, it is a calamity far more powerful than the Sword of Damocles, an existence that no one can currently withstand.
The slightest mistake could lead to annihilation.
You cannot think, you cannot hesitate.
The information had been conveyed to Soraw, who was hiding in the shadows, through magic by Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Sorawu also understood the priorities of the matter.
Discarding the Command Seals I just wasted, now I only have one Command Seal left.
But there's no need to hesitate; just do what you believe is right.
"By Command Spell, Lancer shall detach from the dragon's body!"
The dragon, now encased in honey wine, receives its orders!
The Command Seal acted like a powerful stimulant, injected into her heart.
After receiving the Command Seal, Lancer regained consciousness briefly.
Her body began to tremble violently, and her enormous dragon form appeared to be in immense pain as it was soaked in the honey wine.
Dragon scales began to fall off one by one, turning into magical dust and dissipating into the air.
Accompanied by intense pain, her muscles began to break down, and her body disintegrated in a distorted manner.
The dragon's wings contracted and gradually disappeared, and its enormous tail also slowly shortened, disintegrated, and eventually vanished.
Her bones began to break and reform inside her body, making a chilling cracking sound.
The once strong dragon body began to become slender, gradually reverting to a human form.
Her limbs lengthened during the continuous reorganization process, and the muscles regenerated and covered her again.
Human skin has grown back in the places that were originally covered with scales.
During Lancer's restructuring, the Heavenly Lock was continuously compressed and tightened, leaving no gaps.
Gilgamesh finally snapped out of his maniacal laughter.
He had just finished watching a comedic performance of father-son antagonism, which he had directed, through a surveillance artifact that had been kept in the cellar.
Since the beginning of this world, life has been utterly dull and monotonous.
Therefore, when such a self-orchestrated comedic performance occurs, even those in the center of the battlefield cannot help but spare a moment to appreciate it.
The battle situation is relatively good; Lancer has not yet completely broken free from the chains of heaven.
"You've already made so much effort while I was distracted? Very well, how shall I reward you then?"
"Then face Ea head-on; this is the best reward for you!"
Gilgamesh smiled and raised Ea once more.
The Noble Phantasms scattered around roared in response to this action.
Ea, further strengthened by the power of its Noble Phantasm, once again distorts the world.
The principles of nature, encompassing all things, were once again obscured by the raging winds!
And so, the very next moment after King Gilgamesh smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
The epic of creation, which had just been amplified in power, is being performed once again in Fuyuki!
"Enuma!! -- Elish, the Star of Creation!"
When the power to create the world descends upon them, a variety of emotions will surface in the eyes of the heroes.
Awareness, determination, fear, and so on.
Space is distorted, and air vibrates.
The power of collapse gathered beside the Heaven-Opening Sword, and the power beyond the limit was compressed to the extreme. With a swing of the sword, it was released violently.
The oppressive feeling caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space instantly, and a void of darkness surged out from the cracks, as if to devour the entire world.
The scene resembled the end of the world.
Cracks spread like a spiderweb, darkness surged within the fissures, swallowing the very edge of reality. The ground crumbled like soft mud, and the sky and clouds were sliced apart by invisible blades, scattering fragments everywhere.
It was as if a complete painting had been ruthlessly torn apart, turning into a scene of hell.
The earth resembled a collapsed sculpture, with cracks constantly widening, and the clouds and sky were torn apart and shattered.
That power, known as the Slash, was like an apocalyptic storm, tearing apart the starry sky and pushing the world into the abyss of destruction.
"Is it that attack again? Hmph, how could I let you succeed so easily once more!"
A man wearing a red trench coat and a black bespoke suit, with wrinkles always on his forehead, appeared near the battlefield at some unknown time.
"The Formation of No Return! The Eight Stone Formations!!"
Chapter 162 The Grand Strategist's Ultimate Base
Suddenly, eight illusory stone pillars descended from the sky, crashing heavily into the earth with a deafening roar.
The space between the stone pillars instantly became distorted, as if forming an impassable barrier.
The power of the Stone Soldier Eight Formations expanded rapidly, and the space within the barrier was rearranged, undergoing a qualitative change towards otherworldly transformation.
The turbulent magic within the space gradually began to weaken.
Ancient inscriptions appeared on the eight stone pillars, emitting a crimson light, and the flow of magic within the treasure barrier became increasingly stable.
The turmoil within the space gradually subsided, and the surge of magical power was forcibly suppressed by the array, leaving only intense wind pressure raging between the stone pillars.
The creation narrative was abruptly halted before it could even begin.
The famous strategist Zhuge Liang once devised a unique formation when his army was defeated and retreating.
This formation is made of huge rocks, which can lead invaders astray and kill them.
As a Noble Phantasm, it is a grand magic technique that forcibly changes the opponent's location to the Stone Soldier Eight Formations.
As long as they remain within the Stone Soldier Formation, the additional damage received by the target group each round will continue to accumulate.
This is the ultimate battleground of the Grand Strategist!
A powerful support item that combines depletion of energy, curses, blood loss, and confusion.
Since El-Melloi II's and Zhuge Liang's magic foundations are not the same, it is necessary to balance the incompatibility between Eastern and Western magic.
Even the true hero Zhuge Liang could not fully unleash his power.
If it were the real person involved, this formation could almost be called a celestial technique!
Gilgamesh's expression changed slightly as his offensive was abruptly interrupted, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Although his slash was stopped at the original point, he did not show any panic. Instead, he kept looking around with his scarlet eyes.
The all-knowing and all-powerful star has already helped him understand this thing called "Stone Soldier Eight Formations".
The Heavenly Covering Formation opens at Qian (☰), the Earth Bearing Formation at Kun (☷), the Wind Rising Formation closes at Xun (☴), the Clouds Hanging Formation brings life at Gen (☶), the Dragon Flying Formation startles at Dui (☱), the Tiger Wings Formation injures at Zhen (☳), the Bird Soaring Formation rests at Kan (☵), and the Snake Coiling Formation faces away from Li (☲).
The so-called Eight Trigrams Formation is just such a thing.
Once the location of the vital point of the formation is detected and destroyed, the problem can be easily solved.
Although brute force could be used to break through, Gilgamesh is now in a state of losing his Master.
Such extravagant and wasteful use of magic is not a good strategy.
Of course, he had already prepared a new priest—Konmine Risei.
But the 80-year-old man is still immersed in the sin of father and son killing each other.
So we'll have to wait a bit...
Since that's the case, let's play this "spot the difference" game with them first.
While Gilgamesh was trapped in the maze.
El-Melloi II was finally reunited with the Chaldeans.
"Ahhh, who is it?!" Upon seeing the person who came, Fujimaru Ritsuka was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"If possible, I was thinking of hiding a little longer." The man with several wrinkles etched on his brows approached the crowd, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
The last speedrun of the Fuyuki raid was accomplished under this guy's leadership.
The Chaldeans, who had been at a loss, now seemed to have found their pillar of support.
"Mr. Elmero!"
"Well, Master... you may already understand, but let me state the conclusion first: this Holy Grail War is completely different from the Holy Grail War I know."
The Second Prince spoke calmly, his expression unwavering, as if what he was saying had nothing to do with him.
"But we can talk about those things later. Right now, the most important thing is to solve the immediate problem."
The Second King looked solemnly at Gilgamesh, who was trapped in the Stone Soldier Formation.
He had only seen the King of Heroes in this state once before, and that was at the very end of the Holy Grail War he had experienced.
Gilgamesh only reluctantly adopted a serious attitude when facing the army of King Iskandar.
Now, however, the sword Ea has become nothing more than a prop in Gilgamesh's hands.
He had initially intended to exploit Gilgamesh's arrogance and then quickly defeat him, but after observing the battle, he abandoned that idea.
It was too difficult; the second generation seemed to have returned to the boy on the bridge back then.
He had survived by hiding his life because of the King of Conquerors last time, and this was an indelible obstacle in his heart that had always weighed on his mind.
This time, we won't lose again!
El-Melloi II quickly assessed the status of the Servants around him, and now he was commanding the Heroic Spirits in battle more like a Master.
