But Gilgamesh is now so different, a stark contrast to his previous image.
If this strategy is adopted, then it means that Gilgamesh is serious!
This unusual frugality made Fujimaru Ritsuka and Leonardo da Vinci, who was far away on the Shadow Border imaginary submarine, uneasy.
Although he claimed it was just a trial, his seriousness this time was chilling.
Moreover, this version of Gilgamesh is somewhat familiar.
"This feeling... is exactly the same as the King during the Battle of Uruk," Leonardo da Vinci whispered in the communication, a hint of worry in his expression.
“Archer’s class is like Caster’s,” Sherlock Holmes added from the side.
Their analysis at this moment wouldn't be of much help to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Mash held her shield firmly to her chest, her hand gripping it trembling slightly under the barrage of chaotic rays from her Noble Phantasm wand.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, so much time has passed, and you haven't made any progress? If you can't even get past me, how are you going to succeed?"
Although Gilgamesh asked the question with a carefree laugh, Fujimaru Ritsuka could detect a hint of seriousness in his words.
Yes, if we can't even pass Gilgamesh's trial, how can we possibly reclaim humanity?
We must win! We must win!!
As a Master, his responsibility is to provide correct guidance during the game.
So how do we pass this trial?
Leonardo da Vinci looked at the silent Fujimaru Ritsuka through the observation window of Shadow Border and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Instead, it was the portly director, Goldrov Mujik, who patted everyone on the shoulder and offered words of comfort:
"This kid has saved humanity, how could he possibly fall here?"
That's what he said, but the worry in his eyes was no less than anyone else's.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind was racing, trying to figure out how to win this round.
Is this just a trial? Seeing Gilgamesh's fierce offensive and flawless attacks.
Fujimaru Ritsuka initially scoffed at the idea.
But upon closer reflection, it seems that King Gilgamesh's offensive has never been directed at himself.
In other words, he was safe for the time being, and King Gilgamesh had given him enough space and a limited amount of time to think about how to break out of this situation.
Free your mind from distractions and refocus your attention on the overall battle situation.
Gilgamesh's attack was fierce, but from the perspective of emphasis...
Mash and Artoria didn't suffer any fatal attacks; they were simply bombarded with magic, which blocked their position and vision.
Gilgamesh simply separated them, preventing them from reuniting.
The situation was different for Lancer. Although it was unknown what kind of Noble Phantasm Gilgamesh had unleashed, judging from the magical glow on it...
Every single one of them reached the level of the Holy Sword and the Demon Sword.
Furthermore, Lancer was also extremely careful to avoid the damage from these Noble Phantasms, indicating that there was a counter-relationship between them.
In this way, the situation became clear instantly.
To eliminate two enemies at a time and defeat them one by one—this was the strategy of that hero king at this moment.
The fact that Lancer is being targeted only highlights that, at this moment, Lancer is the one with the best chance of causing substantial harm to Gilgamesh.
Yes, at that speed, if there were even the slightest opening, Lancer could seize the opportunity and plunge her spear into Gilgamesh's chest.
Why didn't you think of that before?
The Command Seal that was used up yesterday has been replenished today.
"By command of the Command Spell, Mash, go and help Lacner break through and deliver her to Gilgamesh!"
At the same time as the Command Spell was activated, Fujimaru Ritsuka communicated with Artoria through the earpiece she wore in her ear.
There was no contractual connection between the two, so Kiritsugu Emiya prepared this communication device before the battle. In terms of pre-battle preparation, Kiritsugu Emiya is a man who can be trusted.
"Artoria, please help Lancer overcome the obstacles in front of him!"
Although Artoria found Fujimaru Ritsuka's intimate way of addressing her strange, she quickly responded after receiving the instruction.
"Understood!"
With the Command Seal enhanced, Mash became even faster, deflecting all the magical torrents that were hurtling towards her.
Then, with a powerful throw, the shield in his hand spun around and approached Lancer, blocking several Noble Phantasms for her.
The next moment.
Mashu has vanished!
The ground where she had stood was now only marked by a spiderweb-like crack left by her forceful stomping.
A figure appeared behind the shield that was still spinning in the air.
It was Mash Kyrielight; she paused with her left arm, deflecting several more attacks.
Lancer passed by her at that moment, and although there was no exchange between them, everything was understood without words.
Mash held her shield to her chest, while Lancer stood in mid-air, one foot landing on Mash's shield.
Force and reaction, the surging speed has already broken the upper limit of the sound barrier, heading straight for Gilgamesh's chest.
"Wind King Hammer!"
Another hurricane struck from the side, and it was Artoria who made the move.
A strong storm swept away Gilgamesh's new Noble Phantasm attack, which he had used to intercept Lancer's spear.
Clear a wide road for the Lancer.
Gilgamesh's defenses were wide open at that moment!
Chapter 153 Future Vision!
The spear, wreathed in terrifying magic, made Lancer's attack unparalleled by anyone present, even with his strength at only C level, thanks to his magic power being A+.
The azure magic was compressed onto a single point at the tip of the spear, and in terms of penetrating power alone, it was already at the level of some Heroic Spirits unleashing their Noble Phantasms.
The extreme compression was to prevent Gilgamesh from pulling out some strange defensive Noble Phantasm at the last moment.
"Lake light! Pierce through everything!"
As Lancer had anticipated, a massive shield now stood between the two.
But the next moment, the seemingly indestructible giant shield crumbled like paper under Lancer's spear.
Although it is the original text that has not released its true name, it is still far too fragile at this moment.
Just as the spear, with its undiminished momentum, was about to pierce the heart in one fell swoop.
With a soft snort, Gilgamesh actually bent backward to dodge the fatal blow.
Yes, you read that right, he actually dodged it by bending over!
And he made this move before the spear pierced the shield.
Artoria asked herself honestly, even with her intuition fully activated, she couldn't possibly dodge this lightning-fast attack.
what's going on!
Seeing that his attack had missed, Lancer quickly twisted his body in mid-air and launched another attack with his spear, which had been thrust forward, in a backhand motion.
brush!
The spear merely struck air, the sound of it cutting through the air echoing in the center of the battlefield.
It got dodged again!
The Heavenly Lock shot straight out from the Royal Gate and climbed up Lancer's body.
Seeing that things were not going well, Mash and Artoria also rushed forward, their shield bashes and slashes coming with the wind.
"when!"
The battle axe and halberd crossed and thrust out before they could get close, intercepting their combined attack.
It was so close!
The two who were intercepted did not lose heart; instead, they continued to attack forward.
Gilgamesh's fighting style is completely different from his previous styles. Compared to before when he simply fired his Noble Phantasms mindlessly, he is now more like a warrior.
An elegant and orderly figure moved back and forth on the battlefield, bending over, stepping to the side, and turning around.
Simple movements combined together allowed them to evade surprise attacks time and time again.
Even unavoidable attacks can be blocked by the Noble Phantasms within the Royal Treasure.
It was as if Mash and the others' every move was within Gilgamesh's calculations.
Like a dancer on the battlefield, they achieved the feat of remaining unscathed amidst the flying blades.
With such skill, it's hard to believe that this person is Gilgamesh, who had his left arm cut off with a single blow.
Is he really Archer and not a Servant like Assassin or Lancer?
The answer is yes!
Back in Shadow Border, everyone had already figured out how Gilgamesh had done it.
It's not based on intuition or calculating attack trajectories to defend and dodge.
Instead, it simply means that you already know what moves and variations your opponent will make.
To put it in simpler terms—he saw it!
He envisioned how Lancer, Artoria, and Mash would attack.
