Chapter 132: Fifteen Trials
My name is Elijah,
Illya squashed Glitter.

Kenneth finally noticed the change in the direction of the Willow Cave Temple.
This kind of incident where the magic fluctuates so much and even leaks the root breath, he didn't even notice it at the first time, in addition to being busy rowing and taking Sola to the lake and not having time to pay attention, the protective enchantment around the mansion that filters most of the magic fluctuations is also a very important reason.
"What's that, it's ugly." Dressed in the plain white dress and sun hat that English ladies often wear for afternoon tea, Sora was sitting on the bow of a small boat for lake cruises, holding a book, and suddenly pointed to the reflection on the lake and asked.
"What?" Kenneth had changed into his rigid lecturer robes at Sora's insistence, and was wearing a navy blue casual suit without a tie, and his long hair, which had been combed back and fixed for the sake of majesty, was also scattered and shimmered with gold, and when he saw Sora pointing to the water, he looked up into the air - there was nothing in that direction.
"Huh? Can't see visually? After determining that the huge being that looked like a dragonman could only be seen through the reflection of the surface of the lake, Kenneth quickly understood why: "Is it blocked by the protective barrier because just 'seeing' it will cause adverse effects?" So Webb's kid ......"
"Rider and Luna have been handed over to him for command, and now he can only trust his own strength."
"Hmm."

After perceiving that the "Death Vortex" had completely suppressed the other "Tyrannical Vortex", Ryunosuke slowly looked back.
It was a dragon that still looked like a shadow of the sky even from such a distance as Fuyugi Bridge, or rather, a giant with many dragon-like appearances, and the entire "human" exuded an unmistakable aura of roots, and it was really hard not to go crazy if it was so rashly seen by magicians who aimed at the roots.
However, even bigger than this giant is a giant cage made of the "Death Vortex" that Ryunosuke is very familiar with, enveloping the dragon man in the middle, and it seems that the cage is too large to be detected at all, and he is hunched over and repeatedly stretching out his hand downwards as if trying to grab something, but he has never succeeded.
Intuition, or the connection in the dark, made Ryunosuke understand what was going on - like the kind of basket used to cover the sparrows, when the person who was watching in the shadows pulled down the short stick, the sparrows that were busy pecking inside could not escape, although they could struggle to resist, but-
Ryunosuke's gaze rose again, and assuming that the "basket" was as big as the ordinary basket on the market, he imagined the outline of the "man" who used the "basket" to set a trap - well, whatever the dragon man was, it was dead.
?? :?? :??
Although they all use magic for their own use, the way of the Heroic Spirit is completely different from that of humans, and if I have to say it, it is like using buoyancy in the same way, but the birds and swimming fish are completely different.
"Friends! Do your best to save me! ”
Suddenly gaining a physical body, Gilgamesh was kicked into a deep well before she could skillfully control it, and when she fell into the black mud for the second time, she only had time to summon the Heavenly Locks like an arm to bind the attacking Caster, after all, she had divinity and couldn't break free and could pull-
Why did she jump off with her!? Going to die together?
Poof!
Gilgamesh backhanded the Heavenly Lock, and since he could break free from the black mud the first time, he could have a second time.
Can't get it back?
"[bluff-roar]" A low roar sounded, seemingly with great pain and rage.
Firmly locked by the Heavens, it was not Caster dressed in black, but a huge strong man over three meters in size, with dark skin, knotted muscles, a fierce face, short black hair completely blown up, and staring at Gilgamesh with a beastly gaze.
That kind of killing intent, even if he was firmly bound by the Heavenly Lock, and his body was seriously injured by multiple treasure devices, there was no sign of restraint.
"Rabid dog, who allowed you to look directly at this king?" Gilgamesh subconsciously projected several treasures again to aggravate his injuries, so that he had time to observe his surroundings.
This is what the castle of Einsbelen looked like before it was destroyed, or, assuming it was not destroyed.
Possessing the [All-Knowing and Almighty Star] and an extraordinary memory, Gilgamesh quickly thought of where this was, after he obtained flesh through black mud, and the chaos he participated in ten years later was exactly like the "Fifth Holy Grail War" played between children, except that there was no possibility of his own victory in any world line.
Dressed in casual clothes, he was standing at the castle gate that had been broken by an external force, the black Berserker was bound by the locks of the sky, scarred, and a little girl in a purple plush dress was lying not far away.
This is supposed to be Caster's own person, Illyasfil von Einzbelen being killed by the "self" of that timeline - and then she becomes a Heroic Spirit who comes to her troubles.
"Heh, when are you going to install it?" After figuring out the joints in an instant, Gilgamesh sneered, and rushed to the ground, the "Holy Grail Vessel" that had just been blinded by "himself" and pierced through the heart with a sword, and should have died now.
"[But I'm really dead at this time]," Caster's voice came erratically from all directions, "[Only for off-site support]"
"Dare to kick this king down, but don't dare to go down in person?" Gilgamesh looked around and folded his arms arrogantly: "Or are you counting on this rabid dog?" ”
[bluff...... Roar...... "Berserker, who forcibly broke through his own legend before, and the thirteenth resurrection, Hercules finally lost his support again, and his eyes gradually closed like a beast with a fierce light.
“Ber…… Berserker...... "The little girl's low voice sounded, and her fingers jumped in unison.
The acting was pompous, and Gilgamesh glared at the little girl lying on the ground, and she clearly hooked the corners of her mouth, but Hercules couldn't see it.
"[I-Li-A-]" The extinguished white light in Berserker's eyes rekindled, even hotter than before, and with a roar, he forcefully broke the entanglement of the Heavenly Lock, and flicked all the treasures that poked at his body away, and strode towards Gilgamesh.
Hercules, the fourteenth resurrection.
"Hmph, why not one more time, this king's treasure is not a dozen types-" Gilgamesh didn't hesitate to summon a large golden ripple behind him.
Ding Ding Ding! Dangdang!
After many dense treasures hit the body of the black man, they were directly bounced aside.
"[I forgot to mention that the attack method of launching the treasure with the king's treasure can only be counted once, and it is already immune. "Illya" said while lying on the ground.
[Roar——! Berserker, who was not far away, rushed in front of Gilgamesh in a few steps, swung his huge rough stone knife, and slashed at him with the sound of howling wind.
"Tsk." Gilgamesh, who was releasing the King's Treasure, was unable to dodge, so he had to take a pair of Noble Phantasms from the launched Phantasm without looking at it, parrying the opponent's attack, and using his strength to move away from the second floor of the hall.
"Roar! Hercules threw the stone knife in his hand directly, and jumped up in pursuit.
"Heavenly Lock!" The Heavenly Locks that emerged from the void once again bound Hercules, who possessed the highest divinity.
"It's a means of restriction, not a means of killing, and as long as the divinity remains, you can't get rid of it," Gilgamesh said condescendingly, "and if you put your hopes in it, you can say that it is a complete failure." ”
"Really?" "Illya," who fell to the ground, said in a tone of complete disbelief.
"Hmph, this king will crush all your plans, hopes, and efforts—" Gilgamesh glanced at Berserker, who was still struggling and roaring, and took out the "sword" from the king's treasury like a black and red club, and swung it out without looking.
[Open the world and deviate from the star! 】
————
The ruined castle of Einzberen, the lock of heaven that hangs in the air and binds Clarkles, and the little girl in purple whose clothes are stained with blood and look desperate.
Not quite the same as the previous fantasy?
In the position of the Lock of the Heavens, Hercules was sending out fluctuations in the magic power of the Heroic Spirits that were gradually dissipating due to the defeat.
This is supposed to be a different worldline from before, after completely defeating Berserker, "herself" tortured the Holy Grail Artifact, just to confirm that there is anything special about her bodily functions.
Is that guy an idiot?
Gilgamesh looked at his right hand, and while the king could do as he pleased, it was still unreasonable to deliberately display tyranny and create a life-and-death enemy for himself.
"That guy has ushered in his own end, and you must know it on Valhalla." The little girl, who had been in despair because of Berserker's defeat, suddenly changed her expression and became the Caster that Gilgamesh knew very well, acting fearlessly, without logic, completely unaware of what she would do in the next moment, but those random actions seemed to be interlocking and always achieving their goals.
"Uh-huh, so?" The Ancient King looked at "Illya" vigilantly, she was kicked into the "evil of this world" and did not fall into the previous vortex, but came to the future or Caster's past, she must have some special purpose.
"There's no point in stopping this from happening in a parallel world alone," Illya's bloodstained little face showed a strange smile characteristic of Caster, "I must teach you a profound lesson to the body of Valhalla, for example, you will be in pain when you see this book of memory, and you will never dare to do something like this next time." ”
"It's a pity that this king doesn't intend to be a book of memories for that guy," Gilgamesh's sudden opening of the Babylonian Gate completely enveloped the entire hall, "After such a special worldline that has never been seen by [All-Knowing and Almighty Stars], this King is more qualified than him to be called the Ontology." ”
"Hehe," Caster didn't seem to plan to continue, and she held out her hand toward the spot that had disappeared and was left with only a little bit of gold, "Come out, Berserker!" ”
The Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm is rooted in their ancient legends, and for the distant future, this is a legend now.
The legend of Illya is that her match as a Master with the Heroic Spirit Hercules summoned is unmatched, so that the ancient hero, whose abilities have long been fixed, broke through his own legend - the thirteenth resurrection when Illya encountered a mortal crisis.
When Illya became a Heroic Spirit in the distant land of steel, this legend was embodied as a special Noble Phantasm that gave Hercules three more chances to resurrect in the Berserker rank, called-
【Snow City】!
Hercules's completely dissipated spirit child regrouped like a video rewind, and in an instant, Hercules' massive body reappeared in the hall, and immediately let out a roar of rage at Gilgamesh.
"[Roar————]
"Tsk, the fifteenth resurrection?" Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and summoned the Heavenly Lock again.
Ding, boom! The Heavenly Locks wrapped around Berserker's body were completely unable to hinder his movements, and instead he was pulled to the point of breaking and had to let go of himself.
"Now, this Hercules is immune to the final form of the Locks of Heaven and EA, if you have any other means," after pulling Berserker's arm and letting him put himself on his shoulder, Illya pointed at Gilgamesh, "Berserker!" Kill him! ”
