Chapter 229: Struggle in Despair

If Gilgamesh gives up his pride and contempt for his enemies, no one will be his opponent in the regular Winter Wood Holy Grail system.

Even Lancer Artoria, who has an A++ class Fortress Treasure, is unlikely to take over Gilgamesh's killer move, and if she comes with Saber, she may still have a glimmer of hope of turning defeat into victory.

After all, it was only King Arthur, the Heroic Lance, who was summoned by the Holy Grail, not the Lion King, a god who was sublimated and assimilated by the anchor of the world.

The intensity of the battle with Red A in the Wei Palace Mansion was not too high, and only a B-grade treasure was used at the end, and Lu Xiao's magic power still had a lot of stock.

The Ei Gong Mansion and the magic workshop that Lu Xiao bought were on the outskirts of Shenshan Town, and they were only a few streets away from each other.

When Lu Xiao rushed back to the vicinity of the workshop, the magic defense system arranged by Leonardo da Vinci had already begun to collapse.

As always, Gilgamesh chose a towering street lamp as his foothold, and a dozen golden ripples appeared behind him, and a large number of treasures flew out from the king's treasure.

A small number of A-grade Noble Phantasmas have been able to penetrate the workshop barrier without hindrance and bombard the courtyard directly.

The remnants of the defense system are still stubbornly resisting, barely blocking the coordinated attacks of other mid- and low-level Noble Phantasms.

With the powerful vision brought by the A-grade eagle pupil, Lu Xiao could see a thunderbolt rapidly approaching from the distant sky.

"Alala-La-Lala!!"

Before the Shenwei wheel reached the scene, Iskandar's charging cry first reached the ears of Gilgamesh and Lu Xiao.

"Huh?"

Gilgamesh, who was busy attacking the workshop, turned his head, and the thunder that fell from the sky forced him to jump off the street lamp, turning some of the treasures of the King's Treasure to attack the charging Kamui Wheel.

"Hah!"

Iskandar excitedly swung the sword in his hand to knock the incoming Phantasm away, and the lightning attached to the Kamui wheels scurryed and knocked down a small number of incoming Phantasmas from the sky.

"Tsk!"

Forced to land on the ground, Gilgamesh's arrogant expression became very unhappy.

"Conquer the king, dare to take the initiative to provoke this king, it means that you are ready to be out of the game in advance!"

Iskandar did not stop the bullock cart after forcing Gilgamesh back, and spun in the air to continue to maintain momentum.

"Hahaha! Heroic King of Babylon, it is only a matter of time before I fight you, but it is not today, I am only here to help my allies. ”

"Humph!"

Gilgamesh snorted disdainfully: "In the face of the pressure of this king, do you choose to huddle together to keep warm?" Wise judgment, but do you think that will stop me! ”

"Let's turn it on! The treasure trove of Babylon! Let the mongrels see what a true king should have! ”

The door of countless treasures opened, and the heroic Iskandar couldn't laugh at the sight of this spectacular scene.

"The treasury of Babylon, I really want to rush into the other end of the door and take the whole treasury for myself."

Under the tremendous pressure, Weber's whole body trembled, and Iskandar's inappropriate joke made him subconsciously complain: "At this time, you are still in the mood to think about these things that you have or not, how to deal with this treasure full of treasures!" ”

"Don't worry, boy, as long as you run, you won't be hit so easily."

Iskandar manipulated the Kamui wheels to continue to accelerate, and the ox cart, which had completely turned into thunder, flickered in the night sky at a speed beyond human comprehension, and Gilgamesh's Great Waste of Noble Phantasmies could not hit them for a moment.

Taking advantage of Iskandar's distraction from Gilgamesh, Lu Xiao quietly slipped into the bombed workshop and first confirmed the evacuation of Rin and Leonardo da Vinci.

Using the semi-cured portal that Lu Xiao had prepared in advance under the workshop, Da Vinci and the others took all the important items and teleported to the base of the decisive battle prepared by Lu Xiao - in front of the approach of Liudong Temple.

Due to the powerful barrier arranged throughout the Liudong Temple, Leonardo da Vinci, as a heroic spirit, could only enter the temple through this long approach.

The all-terrain magic puppet made by Leonardo da Vinci quickly sent the group into the temple, and all the surveillance and defense golems scattered around the Liudong Temple were activated.

When Lu Xiao rushed back, Leonardo da Vinci and the others had already evacuated, and the magic workshop was only using the remaining magic power for self-discipline defense.

"Whoosh!"

A signal arrow formed by magic power rises high in the magic workshop, and when it flies high into the air, it suddenly explodes into colorful points of magical light.

Iskandar was still moving at high speed to avoid the bombardment of Gilgamesh's Phantasm, and when he saw the signal arrow, he laughed and flicked the reins to turn the ox cart around.

"Haha! The entertainment time is over, Hero King, that's all for today's warm-up, let's save our decisive battle for another day, I believe this day should not be far away! ”

Iskandar, who was driving away at full speed, was already difficult to catch up, and Gilgamesh frowned at the abandoned workshop that had been completely undefended, and pouted in displeasure.

"Bastard, you escaped really fast, did you guess in advance that this king would come tonight to save face?"

Ignoring Shichen's "advice" that he continued to search for the whereabouts of Assassin and Caster, Gilgamesh took care of himself and disappeared in the streets of Fukayama Town.

……

"Uh~ah!"

In an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of Xindu, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had an origin bullet in his body, rolled on the ground in pain.

The magic circuits of the whole body are like being scorched by fire, and the burning sensation that goes straight into the soul is unbearable even for Kiritsugu, who has always been strong.

Everyone in the Moon World has their own origins.

Origin, also known as the chaotic impulse, is conceptually close to the "cause" of the beginning of life, and is an inescapable destiny set by human beings at the time of birth.

Every human being follows primitive impulses, instinctively seeks his own origins, and acts according to the guidance of his origins.

In the realm of emptiness, the origin of the black tung flower is "taboo", and she will unconsciously pursue taboo behaviors that are not allowed by common sense, such as...... I like my own biological brother Kurokitani...... Dry also.

Another example is that the origin of Red A is a sword, and when he uses magic to project weapons, the success rate and accuracy of sword-type weapons are significantly higher.

The origin of Emiya Kiritsugu is that it is severed and combined, and the concepts of destruction and regeneration are subtly different.

The union in the origin of Kiritsugu does not mean repair, and the objects that are reconnected after being cut off will be connected in a slightly different way from their original state.

The magic circuit is the most delicate "organ" in the magician's body, and the slightest deviation can lead to extremely serious consequences.

The more magic circuits a magician has, the more damage he will take when hit by an Origin Bullet.

The Emiya family is only the fifth generation of Kiritsugu, and although Kiritsugu's magic circuit is much better than Weber's, it is definitely not the top.

The Origin Bullet had caused a lot of damage to his magic circuit, but it wasn't enough to kill him.

As Kenneth taunted, the effect of the Origin Bullet is ultimately derived from Kiritsugu's own origin.

If it takes years to recuperate, there should be a chance to restore the magic circuit.

But at least this Holy Grail War is too late for Kiritsugu, and the despair of failing to save the world is the most unacceptable to him.

Incomplete Liberation Spear, and then hurriedly taking Kiritsugu and Maiya across most of Fuyuki City, Artoria was in a very bad state at this time.

In order to save mana, after landing in the abandoned hospital, War Horse Don Starion was temporarily dismissed.

Artoria stuck the holy spear on the ground beside her, and sat down against the hospital wall to close her eyes and recuperate, recovering as quickly as she could.

With the exception of Servants who have the ability to act alone, most of the Heroic Spirits will soon dissipate on their own when they lose their Master.

Thanks to the dragon core that automatically generates magic in Artoria's body, she can continue to exist without the power of the Master's mana.

However, it will be difficult for her to fight again in this state, and Artoria is already mentally prepared for the defeat of this Holy Grail War.

"Ugh! It's not over yet......"

Kiritsugu, who was covered with bruised tendons, endured the pain and turned himself over from the ground with difficulty.

"Maiya."

"I'm here."

Kiritsugu held Maiya's hand with his right hand engraved with the mantra: "I will transfer the mantra to you, and you will continue the battle in my place." ”

There was a hint of hesitation on Maiya's face.

Kuto Maiya is an assistant that Emiya Kiritsugu picked up from the battlefield and cultivated single-handedly, barely the first generation of magicians, she can only use some superficial spells, there are very few magic circuits, and the total amount of magic power is also pitifully weak.

"It's the only option."

Kiritsugu clenched Maiya's hands tremblingly, the last trace of struggle in her eyes in despair.

"Please!"
