Capítulo 244: [244] The Inescapable Outcome
"Roar!" Berserker roared while swinging his halberd, aiming at Gilgamesh's head.
Swinging through the air, chains appeared and coiled around Lu Bu.
"What are you doing? Mongrel, had enough yet?" Gilgamesh mocked as various Noble Phantasms materialized around him, ruthlessly thrusting towards Berserker's vital points.
"Oh... oh... roaaarrrr! (Don't think this will bind me!)" Berserker, Lu Bu, exerting his strength to break free from the heavenly chains.
These chains were designed to deal with gods, but Lu Bu had no divine attributes. To him, they were mere iron shackles, easily shattered with a single pull.
Lu Bu showcased extraordinary agility, leveraging the force of incoming Noble Phantasms. With his halberd in hand, he deflected the attacks, sending the Phantasms crashing into the ground or the Nile River, leaving craters and waves in their wake.
"Roaaarrrr!"
"Want to play an aerial game with me?" Gilgamesh chuckled. "Truly a mongrel, has your mind completely deteriorated?"
Vimana—Gilgamesh's aerial Noble Phantasm, golden and capable of flight.
In this scenario, unless facing another Servant with a flying Noble Phantasm, the situation would be overwhelmingly disadvantageous.
"Berserker, come back!" Mevis's hand glowed as the Command Spell forced Lu Bu towards her.
"Regrettably, King of Heroes, Berserker isn't under our control," Mevis bowed, hiding her eyes. However, she sneakily glanced at Saber nearby, then continued, "His actions towards you are entirely voluntary, not influenced—"
Thud!
Suddenly, a clash of weapons. Mordred's sword intercepted the halberd, halting Berserker's strike towards Mevis.
"Ugh..."
Mordred took several steps back. But she quickly steadied herself, firmly gripping her sword. "What... wrong with this guy?"
In the next moment, she regained her composure and taunted Lu Bu, "What's wrong? Can't resist the urge to kill your Master finally?"
"Roaaarrrr! (Busybody! Dare to hinder me, prepare to die under my halberd!)" roared Berserker.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Can't be helped..." Mevis sighed, watching the scene unfold. She observed the spell on her hand.
Well, it's fine like this. Previously, she had subtly suggested Berserker to attack Gilgamesh, and if it succeeded, it meant the Holy Church had lost its resistance.
Now, Berserker turned against them. Either it succeeded, resulting in the destruction of the Iscariot, or if blocked, they could claim Berserker was uncontrollable—further complicating the situation.
"Quietly disappear, Berserker—"
"Roaaarrrr! (Next time we meet, I'll take your head first!)" In the blink of an eye, Berserker reluctantly vanished under the Command Spell.
"Hmph! Is the clown's performance over?" Gilgamesh said, looking at Enkidu and retracting his prepared noble phantasm. "Well, I'll call it a day for now. The real battle can commence after wiping out those insignificant pests."
"Hold on, King of Heroes! There's something crucial that needs to be shared with everyone, including you—Black Lancer and his Master, come over and listen!" Martha quickly called out, halting Gilgamesh's departure. "This is a divine revelation and a necessary process for the Holy Grail War. Otherwise, we may face a crisis that could destroy the world!"
"Hmm, I have no interest in such matters," Gilgamesh replied, preparing to leave.
"Just wait a moment, Gil. Listen to what she has to say about the 'crisis that could destroy the world,'" Enkidu interjected with a smile.
"Well... fine, I'll give you a chance to speak. Go ahead—I'm listening. But if I find it boring, I won't hesitate to leave, no matter who you are, Ruler!" Gilgamesh declared.
"Ready for a fight, just say so! Why so much nonsense? Let us hear it—why so much talk?!"
"..." Barthomeloi Lorelei
"..." Mage's Association
"..." Holy Church
"..." Servants
"Cough... uh... I hope everyone will listen carefully. After all, this concerns the survival of the world."
"...Hahahaahahaha!" Gilgamesh burst into laughter. "Are you still amusing? Fine! Speak! As a reward for entertaining me, I'll allow it. But, small fry hiding in the shadows, isn't it time to come out?"
"No, no, we haven't been hiding. We've been here all along, just that the monster is too big. Black Lancer and his Master are coming too, right?"
Kurokawa Kazuya approached while him and Alucard explained another matter. "How about it? Did you swallow that thing?"
The "thing" Kazuya referred to was none other than the colossal sea demon—
Alucard had absorbed the creature's blood before its demise!
Before the sea demon's demise, its blood, mixed with the blood shed during the battle between Servants and Master, flowed to Alucard's feet. Following the path of his feet, it was absorbed into him.
As long as... they succeeded in absorbing this colossal sea demon.
Their trump card would undoubtedly increase! The immense strength of that monster was witnessed by everyone. Absorbed into Alucard's River of Death, releasing it during battle could partially reverse the current disadvantageous situation!
