"—roar!!"

In Gilgamesh's stunned expression, the giant, who had been silent and seemed to be dead, suddenly burst out, roaring angrily, and at the same time bursting out with unprecedented terrifying power, instantly breaking the lock of heaven that even the gods could not break free.

Of course, there is a reason for Gilgamesh's carelessness.

After all, the five poles pierced Berserker's spears, each of which was an A-rank or higher Phantasm, and its sharpness was unquestionable, and it was definitely able to cause an effective attack.

And so it is.

The five spears did pierce Berserker's rocky body and destroy its internal organs.

If you are an ordinary person, even if you are a legendary hero, if you are so seriously injured, you will be deprived of your ability to fight if you don't die.

"What, this guy, isn't he dead yet!?"

However, Berserker is no ordinary hero, he is Hercules, the legendary demigod, a great hero more admired than a hero, whose presence is a symbol of strength.

How could such a Berserker give up in the face of a simple injury?

In other words, this injury alone was far from enough to kill him, otherwise he would not have been able to cross the twelve trials during his lifetime.

"———— roars !!"

At the last moment of his last life, at the end of his life, he seemed to realize that the only thing he could do for the Lord was to do everything to return to Valhalla with the man in front of him.

There was a brief lucidity in the furious eyes.

Whether it is hatred or hatred, despair or determination, or enlightenment, and unyielding unyieldingness, these emotions dissipate from the eyes, or merge into one, into an indescribable force.

Then, in the giant's body, as if something that did not belong to him had shattered, there was a crisp "click" sound.

"-Boom!"

In this moment, a miracle happened.

In Illya's mind, Berserker's stat value suddenly changed, showing an explosive increase.

Durability, agility, and mana, which are already excellent A-level ability values, instantly break through to an astonishing A++.

And the strength that originally had an A+ grade broke the limit at this moment and became an unpredictable Ex.

If Berserker's sudden outburst at the moment is caused by the skill of [Battle Continuation].

Unfatally wounded, his indomitable will allowed him to stand up.

However, how to explain the current change of ability values, and even the disappearance of various skills and treasure information in the panel?

It can't be explained by reason, right?

Even 'magic' can't do that.

"What the hell - what's going on!?" Illya covered her mouth and cried out in surprise.

The two maids didn't know what was going on, but silently grabbed their eldest lady.

Immediately, Berserker, who had lost his weapon, pounced in the most primitive way.

A pair of rock-stiff palms, as if they could shatter space, gripped at Gilgamesh.

"What, you bastard!"

Before his consciousness could react, Gilgamesh's body instinctively took the first step, tiptoe up slightly, although not fast, and not far away, but it was indeed dodging.

He, the arrogant of the ancients, had tortured Berserker ten times, and the king who had only been advancing and provoking from beginning to end, retreated for the first time in this moment.

Anger!

Rage!

Angry because he felt humiliated.

"Damn it!!"

As he shouted this, the golden door opened in an instant, and three long, thick spears that did not resemble those used by humans stretched out, blocking Berserker's path.

At the same time, several pieces of armament that exuded powerful magical fluctuations shot out.

The chains that bound the gods also ejected at this moment.

"-Woo!"

The sound of metal being violently shattered rang out.

The spear that stood in front of Berserker was smashed to pieces by brute force, and the attacking weapons shot directly into the giant's body because they did not dodge, but did not cause the giant to stop in his movements.

There was no skill at all, and the pure brute force broke through the fist of the space and slammed into the shield that had just emerged.

The shield shattered without the slightest protection, and the fist continued to slam into Gilgamesh.

"-Boom!"

As in the case of Berserker being dragged by the locks of heaven, a furrow appeared on the ground, but this time, the embarrassed man was Gilgamesh.

After a long while, the most ancient king coughed up blood and struggled to his feet.

The clothes, the hair, the face, all got dusty and looked embarrassed.

Then, in a voice that sounded like arrogance and amazement, but somewhat weak, he spoke.

"It's really surprising, I thought it was just a beast worth a little headache, but I didn't expect it to be a monster disguised as a beast?"

He was angry just by taking a step back, and he was unusually not angry, but in admiration.

Because, at the last moment, Berserker was so surprising.

That's right, it's 'last minute'!

At this moment, Berserker, who smashed the spear and took multiple treasures head-on, did not escape the chains of the divine predator after all.

Even, there was no need for Gilgamesh to make another move, and the giant's body had already begun to collapse into magical power.

"Although I don't know what price you paid for using that power······"

Gilgamesh slapped the dust on his body and sighed.

"But then you will be satisfied, proudly with this satisfaction, proudly die—monster."

Finally, at this moment, Berserker's body completely dissipated into magical power, and his soul was sucked into the Holy Grail.

It was also at this moment that Illya collapsed to the ground as if she had lost her strength.

"Miss!"

Serra called out urgently and held him up.

Lijlitt also stood in front of the two of them, ready to use her body to block the enemy.

The situation was already dangerous, and if Elijah lost even the idea of escaping, there was really no chance of survival.

"Miss, please cheer up, Lijliet and I will do our best to cover your escape."

However, no matter how hard Serra tried to call, Illya did not respond.

"Why... Why... Why Berserker? ”

The murmuring voice was full of incomprehension, and some of the beliefs in Illya's heart were subverted.

Berserker was mad and irrational.

Originally, it was supposed to be like this, and when ordered to do so, it would be carried out with all its might, but why, should it be so?

Obviously, if he had given up on himself at the beginning, Berserker would have had a chance to defeat that guy, but why······

"It's just a Berserker, a servant who will betray without a spell······ I'm just using you as a tool, a prop that can be discarded at any time, so why ······"

However, the will to burn even the soul in order to protect the master can be felt by Lijielit, who has a weak sense of self, right?

What's more, what about Elijah, who is more emotional than that?

Berserker will not betray, but will only be loyal to the guardian girl.

But it's too late to realize this.

"Then, I'll be your opponent next, the Ancient King!"
