At this moment, watching Enkidu in the light screen holding the chimera and gradually walking into the forest, Mash and Ritsuka Fujimaru of Chaldea recorded and analyzed while sighing.
"I never thought Enkidu would be such a person?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru thought for a moment and gave his own assessment.
"He's really amazing."
Mash nodded in agreement.
"It's indeed completely different from Kingu. The only thing they probably have in common is their appearance."
And at this moment, on the bullet comments...
Everyone was also shocked by Enkidu's actions in the light screen.
[Bullet Comments]
[Gilgamesh: If it were me, that magician would have turned to dust by now.]
[Tōsaka Rin: Goldie, that's true. The Master who summoned you did indeed turn to dust.]
[Tōsaka Rin: It's hard to imagine there's a bond between you two, since your personalities are completely opposite.]
[Tōsaka Rin: Gilgamesh, you are the worst in history! Enkidu is so gentle and kind!]
The Gilgamesh in various timelines was stunned when they saw the bullet comments sent by Tōsaka Rin.
They couldn't help but ask a question.
"Enkidu, gentle?"
It was truly difficult to combine the two.
However, the Gilgamesh across timelines had no intention of clarifying.
After all, praising one's own treasure was, in a way, praising oneself.
Meanwhile, in the Light Screen...
[The magician was killed by Thia after escaping from the forest.]
[After that, the scene switched to Gilgamesh's perspective.]
["Since it's just a joke, I'll just treat it as a joke. I don't need to take it seriously. Before an enemy worthy of my serious attention appears, I'll just change my appearance a little." He said to himself and uncorked the bottle of the Elixir of Immortality in his hand, ready to drink it all.]
[However, at that moment, Boom——!!!]
[Whether it was a coincidence or the so-called power of fate beginning to act, at this critical moment, a deafening roar echoed in the sky, attracting the attention of all the spectators.]
[The sound itself held no destructive power; it merely drew the attention of many. It was very far away, as if coming from the vast forest in the far west.]
[Being able to produce such a shocking sound from such a great distance, defying the laws of physics, Thia believed in her heart that the one who made this sound must be an extremely powerful Servant!]
[At this moment, Gilgamesh was stunned upon hearing this sound.]
["How is this possible?" he muttered to himself, his heart filled with disbelief.]
[Gilgamesh, who was originally planning to drink the Elixir of Immortality, halted his action at this moment.]
[As the oldest King of Heroes, he had always been steady and unshakable.]
[Yet now, he actually showed a strong reaction because of that sound.]
["This voice... could it be——" he murmured to himself, his eyes holding surprise, anxiety, confusion, and a deep emotion imperceptible to others.]
["...Is it you?" he asked in a low voice, as if responding to the distant call, and as if calling out to a memory buried deep in his heart. At this moment, Gilgamesh was no longer the lofty King of Heroes, but someone deeply moved by a certain emotion.]
Seeing Gilgamesh lose his composure, none of the audience were surprised. On the contrary, they felt such a scene was relatively normal. After all, these were the legendary King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, and his close friend, Enkidu.
In the world of Chaldea, Romani Archiman also watched this scene curiously, and Mash beside him was also paying close attention.
"Enkidu, you just got summoned, and he noticed it already?" Romani Archiman asked.
"And that expression just now..." Mash continued, "As expected, although Gilgamesh didn't say it, he missed Enkidu too."
"Yes," Mash nodded, "This should be the first time these two have truly met since becoming Heroic Spirits. Although a being resembling Mr. Enkidu appeared in the previous Uruk footage, his inner self was solid, so this is their first real meeting."
"Well, I'm curious too. Will King Gilgamesh go find Enkidu after this?" Ritsuka Fujimaru also joined the discussion, his tone full of anticipation. "After all, his reaction just now is really intriguing!"
At this moment, all the staff of Chaldea were full of expectations for the next part of the video. The images on the screen kept changing, and a steady stream of bullet comments emerged.
[Bullet Comments]
[Tōsaka Rin: Huh? That Goldie, who always acts like a jerk, would actually show such an expression? So he also has people and things he cares about?]
[Iskandar: Is this the person you told me about? No wonder he refused to join me on my conquest.]
[Waver Velvet: Enkidu discovered the King of Heroes and sent a signal to him, right?]
At this moment, the light screen rewound to the time before Enkidu's roar.
[Returning to Enkidu's perspective, after some brief treatment, he finally saw that his Master was out of danger. The scene before him made him slightly relieved.]
[Suddenly, Enkidu's eyes sharpened, and his gaze abruptly turned north. There, further north from their location, was a very nostalgic presence.]
["This is a presence from the distant ancient times!" Enkidu's heart stirred. "Could it be——"]
[At first, he didn't believe this was fate; he simply opened his eyes calmly. However, after careful observation, words of joy also echoed in the air. "Could it be... it's you?"]
[That presence couldn't be mistaken; it was definitely his very familiar friend—Gilgamesh. He would never mistake that guy's presence.]
[When Enkidu confirmed that the presence he felt from the north belonged to the well-known [King] Gilgamesh, he slowly stood up and fell silent for a while.]
[At this moment, endless thoughts emerged in his heart. Confusion, anxiety... all sorts of complex emotions intertwined, but ultimately turned into overwhelming joy.]
[He knew very well that this was the Holy Grail War, a cruel and fierce battle. Since it was the Holy Grail War, he might face the fate of fighting his former best friend. But so what?]
[As for the outcome, whether he cut off the other's head or the other dug out his heart, the deep bond between them made a mere killing once or twice no big deal.]
[No, even if they killed each other thousands of times, the bond between them would never be torn apart.]
[After all, they met by trying to kill each other from the very beginning, and that profound friendship had long transcended life and death.]
[Thinking of this, Enkidu couldn't help but laugh and calmly spread his arms.]
["Haha..." he laughed, "If we can continue that duel, it seems quite delightful."]
[Along with these words, Enkidu's voice played a warm melody. This melody seemed to express all the feelings in his heart, full of power and emotion.]
[The Heroic Spirit Enkidu's singing shook the very earth, turning into a beautiful sound of the land, resounding throughout Snowfield. And this song was not only an expression of Enkidu's inner feelings but also a signal announcing the beginning of this Holy Grail War!]
[As the song sounded, an unprecedented fierce battle was about to begin. In this battle, there were only two participants: Enkidu and his best friend, Gilgamesh.]
[On the other side, Gilgamesh also understood the meaning of this song. This ancient Golden King, the oldest King of Heroes of mankind, was also somewhat absent-minded.]
[Soon, the ancient King regained his composure. The arrogance and pressure returned to his face, and he laughed loudly, his laughter resounding through the sky.]
["Ha... such a wonderful thing! This accidental reunion should be regarded as proof of my kingship and praised!" Gilgamesh laughed. The sudden change made him alter his plans.]
[Originally, he was bored by the meaningless Holy Grail War, but because of Enkidu's song, he was filled with joy and heroic spirit.]
["Little girl! Rejoice, it seems this battle is worthy of my true power!" he declared loudly, as if announcing his determination to the world.]
["It would be fun to end the duel in the square... No, if that guy appears as a Berserker, or... No, let's not talk about it. Things are unpredictable. We'll have to wait and see."]
[However, although he was excited by the appearance of his best friend, Gilgamesh did not forget his dignity as a king.]
[He chuckled, stared towards the source of the song, and then turned his attention back to Thia, who was kneeling beside him.]
["Raise your head, Thia." His sudden command made Thia subconsciously obey and lift her head.]
[Then, Gilgamesh gently tossed the small bottle in his hand into Thia's grasp.]
["This is a secret medicine for rejuvenation. Although you don't need it at your age, it is no longer necessary for me now. Just accept it with gratitude," he said proudly.]
["Ah...? Yes, yes!" Thia responded in surprise and trepidation, clutching the precious bottle of secret medicine tightly.]
As the bottle of the Elixir of Immortality flew out of the King of Heroes' hand and fell into Thia's, the light screen was instantly covered in bullet comments.
[Bullet Comments]
[Matō Zouken: The Elixir of Immortality, obtained just like that?]
[Iskandar: Even for me, this is an ultimate treasure. I never expected the King of Heroes to give it away so casually?]
[Waver Velvet: Iskandar, Rider, aside from the King of Heroes, this elixir is a treasure to everyone. Only the King of Heroes would give it away so casually.]
[Gilgamesh: A bunch of ants, small fries, getting surprised over such a thing. There are countless treasures of this level in my Treasury!]
[Tōsaka Rin: They're both Kings of Heroes, both Gilgamesh, why is there such a big difference?]
[Tōsaka Rin: Look at the King of Heroes in the light screen; that is the King of Heroes I imagine. As for the Gilgamesh of the Fourth and Fifth Wars, he's just a gold-plated poser.]
Simultaneously, Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at the bullet comments sent by his daughter and agreed with them.
We are both Masters of the King of Heroes, why is there such a big difference?
There are differences even among Kings of Heroes!
Amid Tōsaka Tokiomi's envy and jealousy, the light screen continued to shift.
[Looking at the elixir in her hand, the girl Thia couldn't help but widen her eyes, her heart filled with shock. This was the Elixir of Rejuvenation, the legendary treasure, now lying quietly in her hand.]
[Gilgamesh merely glanced at her slightly, paying little attention to the girl's reaction.]
[He spoke with a majestic voice: "Since you wish to be my subject, I shall first order you to do one thing."]
["Since you are a child, you look somewhat like a child. Since you do not understand the truth of all things, you need only bathe yourself in my majesty as the King!"]
[Though his words contained sarcasm, there was no doubt they were powerful, filled with unquestionable authority.]
[These words shocked the girl who had abandoned her feelings for her clan. For the first time, the girl felt the glory of a Heroic Spirit.]
[If before she had to obey the King merely due to his strength, now, the girl set aside her own emotions and admired the King of Heroes before her from the bottom of her heart.]
[The girl bowed her head apologetically and responded respectfully: "I will do my utmost."]
[As soon as she finished speaking, a massive amount of magical energy surged before the girl. The power was so immense that a look of surprise appeared on her face. But soon, the girl realized something.]
[It wasn't just pure magical energy, but some kind of high-purity energy element, and of the highest grade! 'Magical energy' wasn't sufficient to describe it; perhaps 'Mystery' would be more appropriate.]
[In short, that high-purity energy converged towards the right hand of the King of Heroes, finally materializing and forming a dagger. This dagger somewhat resembled the catalyst that the magician—destroyed by Thia moments ago—had used to summon Gilgamesh, but it was undoubtedly purer and more powerful.]
[Seeing this scene, a trace of doubt flashed across the girl's face. "Key... sword?"]
[Hearing this, Gilgamesh replied disdainfully: "Don't confuse it with the key that clown brought earlier."]
[With these words, Gilgamesh, still holding the Key Sword, pointed it towards the sky. "This is an item I forged myself, something like a tangible contract." His voice was lazy, but everyone could see a hint of high spirits and pride in his expression.]
["Don't slack off, Thia. Then, prove it to me." His words held expectation.]
[Hearing such words, a trace of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes. Then, her pupils widened slightly...]
[A shocking scene unfolded before the girl's eyes.]
[The magical energy extending from the Key Sword began to erode everything in the surrounding space, as if pushing open the door to the world itself. Huge energy fluctuations emanated from the space, and the entire dimension began to vibrate violently because of this key-like sword.]
[Simultaneously, Gilgamesh's words echoed: "You must know, if you fear the aftermath of the duel, you are not fit to be my subject."]
[The moment his voice faded, the distortion in space became increasingly obvious, finally condensing into one location, forming a gigantic spatial portal.]
[The girl Thia stared at this scene in amazement, her heart filled with shock and awe. She had never seen such powerful force, nor such a majestic king. At this moment, she deeply felt her own insignificance and powerlessness, but it also strengthened her resolve to follow this king.]
