080:Awakening (3/3)
"Then, I'll be your opponent next, the Ancient King!"
With such a voice, the red figure fell from above, protecting Illya, also blocking Gilgamesh's aggressive sight.
Immediately, two knives, one black and one white, in pairs, condensed by magical power, appeared in the hands of the comer.
"Rin's... Archer? ”
Illya opened her mouth with a trembling expression, showing an expression of disbelief and relief.
Archer is here, that is, Emiya Shirou and the others have already left, right?
If the big brother escapes, he should be safe, right?
But why?
"Why is Archer here, the big brother should have left, then you have no reason to ······"
Elijah's voice faded until she was completely inaudible.
Whatever Archer's intentions, she didn't want to know, and even if she did want to fight Gilgamesh, Illya was not optimistic, and Berserker was unreasonably killed.
On the other hand, Archer, a servant who didn't even dare to face Berserker, how could he be Gilgamesh's opponent?
As if giving up hope, the look in the girl's eyes dimmed.
"As an older brother, isn't it a matter of course to protect my sister!?"
Archer turned his head slightly, said lightly, and then turned his gaze to Gilgamesh.
"What, who do you think it is, the disgusting aura that emanates, even I, the person who is leaving, can't help but come back to see who is so annoying."
Archer sighed in disappointment, then defiantly.
"It turns out to be an old antique left over from the last Holy Grail War."
In a word, the truth of Gilgamesh was revealed.
As Archer said.
Gilgamesh was summoned to appear as an Archer in the last Holy Grail War, but for some reason, he received a physical body and stayed in this era for ten years with his A+ [Acting Alone] skill, until today he participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War.
"Humph! I thought it was you, Faker (fake), if Saber stayed, I might have shown mercy, but a bastard like you doesn't have that value. ”
Completely ignoring Archer's provocation, Gilgamesh said to himself, showing his arrogance to the fullest.
"So, why don't you try the quality of your vaunted crafts now?"
After speaking, with a wave of Gilgamesh's hand, a large number of doors opened, and a handful of extremely high-level treasures appeared.
Counting down, there are as many as 36 doors opened.
Compared to the number of Berserkers before, it has decreased significantly, and it is obvious that he looks down on Archer.
"Well, with this amount, you should be able to keep up, fake?"
"Oh, unforgiving fellow, but Gilgamesh, are you so eager to fight, or are you nervous, where is your calmness, so afraid of me?"
I didn't realize that my mouth was also unforgiving.
"Projection, begin—"
In the blink of an eye, behind Archer, a large amount of magic power condensed, forming a treasure that extended from Gilgamesh's treasury, exactly the same armament.
Projection, a low-order magic technique, is a technique that replicates an object exactly.
After all, it's just magic, and it's amazing that a treasure has been copied.
That's why Gilgamesh calls Archer a 'fake'.
After all, compared to the real thing, what Archer left behind is indeed all fakes.
"Don't get carried away, mongrel, this king just wants to get his hands on things as soon as possible to avoid some trouble."
"I see, I see, it's really······ Should I be sad or honored to be treated as a trouble by the King of Heroes? ”
Archer spread his hands helplessly, but he didn't look flattered at all, but hooked his fingers defiantly.
Gilgamesh snorted coldly, frowning a little unpleasantly.
"Stupid! Ben thought that even if it was a fake, it should be more interesting, and it would bring pleasure to this king, but I didn't expect that I didn't even have self-knowledge!? ”
With a loud shout, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Recognize your own weight for this king, a mongrel like you can only be regarded as an afterglow before the show, and it is that guy who is regarded as a trouble by this king!" Gilgamesh held his head high.
Without hesitation, Archer immediately looked back and up.
With the pride of the most ancient king, he disdained to deceive in this way, that is, someone was really coming.
The next moment-
"Boom ——!"
The roof shattered, and a large number of stones fell and dust flew up.
Immediately after, a figure emerged from it.
“——Assassin?”
Serra, who recognized the person, immediately cried out.
"But isn't the Assassin supposed to ······?"
Hearing the voice, Illya looked up a little stiffly.
"White... Bai Hua? ”
The familiar ornate armor, the iconic golden armour on the left arm and the Excalibur worn around the waist, this... It's only Bai Hua, right?
"But why... I saw it with my own eyes... Bai Hua should be ······" The girl was surprised and had a long mouth, not knowing what to say.
At that time, when she came to Liudong Temple, she happened to see the scene where Bai Hua's body decomposed into a spirit son state and sank into the leyline, and the scene was too much like the dissipation of the servant.
Moreover, she didn't know the real situation from Emiya Shirou after that.
Misunderstanding, it is a matter of course.
Seeing Bai Hua again, the girl was in disbelief at first, and then suddenly had an urge to cry.
Not because of sadness, but out of joy and understanding.
Like Berserker, Bai Hua will not and did not betray himself, but sincerely wants to protect himself, Berserker has proved, and now, Bai Hua is here to prove this.
So, Illya did just that.
She had just learned about Berserker, and she was unprecedentedly fragile in her heart, and she couldn't suppress her emotions at all.
At the surprised gaze of the two maids, the girl suddenly stood up, ran in front of Bai Hua with all her strength, and buried her head in his waist.
"Bai Hua... Bai Hua··· Bai Hua··· Woo · · Bai Hua—"
The girl sobbed while calling Bai Hua's name again and again in a mournful voice.
Looking at Illya, who was only up to his waist tall and his body trembled slightly, Bai Hua raised his hand a little unprepared, not knowing how to face it.
"Royal · · Master? You, are you alright? I'm really sorry, because my plan was overlooked, and Caster took advantage of it, and I was reduced to the point where my magic was not enough to dissipate, so I could only hide in the leylines to absorb the magic. ”
Bai Hua was a little nervous and explained at a loss.
"That... I sensed that the barrier was being touched, and I rushed over immediately, Master, are the two of them intruders? ”
Being held by Illya, Bai Hua was inconvenient to move, but his eyes had become dangerous, and he stared at the two servants, one gold and one red.
Archer:“······”
