Chapter 104: Until Death
"Be enlightened, Joker, this king will seriously help Rin with his revenge. β
Gilgamesh issued a declaration of war in place of his lord.
This is the pride of the Hero King. For the mongrel, he can play with whatever he wants, but for those whom he approves, his pride will not allow him to play with shady tricks, and he will declare war with dignity, fight with dignity, and win with dignity.
The evaluation of Shinji's "clown" is a kind of recognition, especially since this clown has successfully calculated himself once.
"I'll be ready to come to my senses and wait. β
The recognized "clown" responds with a fearless smile. Behind the smile is a trait common to all strong people - self-confidence.
Indeed, Rin, who has taken the Golden Apple, is on the same running line as himself in terms of quality, and with the full armament of the "King's Treasure", he is a very strong opponent no matter how you look at it. But so what? Will you cringe? Physical fitness and equipment are only two of the factors that determine victory or defeat, not all of them.
What's more, his ultimate goal is to end the eternity of the immortal queen, and if she even flinchs from such a challenge, then she will never be able to go to the Shadow Country, and she will never be qualified to stand opposite the real her.
"Nice response. Gilgamesh commented, and then turned his gaze to Luvia, "This little girl's source of vitality is very interesting, and it is not like a god or a fantasy, something that even this king has never seen. That's not what belongs to you, Karna. β
Karna shook his head, "No. β
In this way, Shinji guessed the answer.
The true red fruit is the fruit of countless flesh and blood absorbed by the Hailin Anashu for 800 years. Although it is different from the way the golden apple is born, it is also the crystallization of the essence of life.
Among the people who have been strengthened by the fruit, Luvia and Grey consume the most, each consuming nearly one-tenth of the amount - in fact, in terms of quality alone, it should be Loreleia who is in the greatest demand. However, the Barsmero family, where Loreleia is located, is not short of treasures, and has been strengthened by various ways for the children of the family since he was a child, and the remaining space is limited.
It is impossible for such a large amount of life essence to be absorbed in a short period of time without the assistance of drugs of the same level, so Luviaa will have a similar reaction to Rin.
After a brief explanation, Karna breathed a sigh of relief, then stopped talking, put away the killing spear, and stood quietly aside.
Gilgamesh then put away his obedient sword, stopped pretending to be in the air, fell back to the ground, and asked pointedly: "Shinji Makiri, have you ever thought about doing something while they are unconscious? Even if you have an old relationship with them and don't do anything to yourself, you can settle this king and Karna at once by severing the contract - don't tell this king, you haven't thought so." β
"I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it. Punching Gilgamesh and kicking Karna, how could you not want to do such a sloppy thing?" Shinji replied with a smile without concealing or defending, "But it's just thinking about it, and having fun in your head." If you let me do it, I can't do it. β
"Why?"
"There are a lot of reasons. For example, the master craftsman won't be happy, although she didn't say it, but I know she's looking forward to the showdown with you. When I go back and tell her about Karna's existence, she'll probably react in the same way. It's just more belligerent, and the two of you probably can't beat her combined. If I swept her up and was beaten to death and crippled, it was not impossible for her to say in a fit of anger that she would deal with all the remaining servants alone and make a mess of the situation. β
"Hahahaha, like she would do it. Gilgamesh laughed, "What else?"
"And Rin and Luvia won't be happy either. The grievances between the Tosaka family and the Edfeldt family are not resolved here at one time, and it will be difficult to resolve them again. β
Shen turned his head sideways, his gaze softly sweeping over the familiar face. It's only when they're unconscious that their expressions are so calm.
"Started by the Holy Grail War, and can only end with the Holy Grail War. If you think about it, fate probably wants you to make a decision here. Rin and Luvia are about the same, and you and Karna are evenly matched. In this way, no matter which side loses, they will find the reason in themselves, and they will not say that I am not ready, that I did not choose a good servant, and then continue to plan the next Holy Grail War to let the chain of grievances continue. Even if they both lose their strength like this, causing the battle to be interrupted, it's actually quite good, and when they wake up, they should all recognize each other in their hearts, of course, it's impossible to admit it on the surface. β
"The same reason applies to the entanglement between Rin and you. Gilgamesh said indifferently.
"Yes. Shinji nodded, "And one more thing, this is Rin's only chance to defeat me." It's not that I'm boasting, with my current strength, without your help, Rin and Luvia wouldn't be my opponent together - the Noble Phantasm is almost incomprehensible to modern magicians. If you miss this opportunity, the knot may never be untied. I want to do my best, she is not reconciled, maybe she will go to find all kinds of secret treasures, leading to detours and wasting talent. If I keep my strength, she will think that I am really playing her. Honestly, I'd love to have you fully armed her to completely negate my advantage in this area.
"You really think about her everywhere, why do you want to do it to this extent?"
"Because she's Sakura's sister and my childhood sweetheart, and her mother is someone my uncle likes, our two families have long been inseparable, and no one has ever thought of separating. Moreover, I have become so strong that both you and Karna are responsible. β
"Oh?" Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow.
"Because of the entrustment of a great hero, Karna gave me his Brahman's treasure. And you- do you remember ten years ago when you threw out four Phantasms against that sea demon and didn't recover them?"
"That's the thing, because it's tainted by that disgusting thing, and the king doesn't want to take it back and stain the treasury - you mean, you recovered those four treasures?"
"That's right. Sometimes I really wonder if you did it on purpose, those four treasures contain attack and defense, against people, against cities and soldiers, and can deal with almost all situations, without their protection, I may not be able to get to where I am today.
"Why do you want to tell this king?" said Gilgamesh, "the treasure that this king has given up does not mean that others can touch it at will. Aren't you afraid that this king will punish you for this?"
"It's like if we don't tell you, we can get along well. There is only one winner of the Holy Grail War. If you want to punish me, pass the master first. β
Shen Eryi rolled up his sleeves to reveal the curse, and his attitude was extremely single-if you want to do it, I will call someone immediately.
"Hmph, hahahahaha. Gilgamesh didn't laugh angrily, "Funny, so funny, you clown's speech." Well, for the sake of your success in pleasing the king and being so honest, these four treasures are officially rewarded to you. Instead, you'll have to play the role of Rin's target - until you die!"
"Okay, until you die!" Shinji laughed.
In the midst of double demonic laughter, the two men came to an agreement.
Ps: Don't even associate the Great King with the decline of the Divine Generation, the Great King destroyed all civilizations indiscriminately. It doesn't matter if you are a god or a human being, if it weren't for the planet forging the holy sword, the surface would be over, and everyone would have suffered the same trauma. In other words, it is not the times that she has crippled. It's the planet.
