Fuyuki City, ten o'clock at night.
I don't know if it is a regional characteristic, but the vast majority of residents have fallen asleep by this time. There are not many people on the street, and nothing provides lighting except for the streetlights.
Sparse vehicles shuttle on the road, and the city, which was extremely lively during the day, has now completely quieted down.
However, this does not mean complete tranquility.
Now is the period when the Holy Grail War is active, and in places unknown to ordinary people, demons and heroic spirits are surging undercurrents.
Of course, this is relative to the previous Holy Grail War.
The Fifth Holy Grail War, because of Yami's intervention, has been disrupted in a disgraceful manner.
But even so, he didn't have the confidence to say that he could win for sure. After all, there were still two unstable factors secretly at play.
So now, just collect some interest first!
Arriving at the church, Yami's sense of knowledge and awareness disappeared instantly. There was only one aura in the church, and there was no presence of Gilgamesh, indicating he was not in this place.
In order to be able to completely kill Kotomine Kirei, Yami was not stingy and brought everyone here considering his factors.
"I found Kotomine Kirei. There is no trace of other heroic spirits; he is the only one in the church."
Yami's words immediately made Rin a little overwhelmed. She stood up straight and hurriedly walked towards the church.
"Really, can't you just calm down?"
Even though he said so, Yami knew it very well. Killing her father's enemy was not far away, and he pretended to be a good person, taking care of her for more than ten years. The hatred contained in it, even if anyone knows it, would be shocking and might go crazy!
It is already very good that Rin can persist to this level, but after today, everything will probably be over.
"If that's the case, then I'll follow along."
Cù Chulainn on the side carried the magic spear and followed without haste. The rest stood in place, showing no intention of moving.
"Master, is it really okay to let Rin face Kotomine Kirei alone?" Artoria asked, slightly worried.
After all, no matter what they say, Rin is still Yami's master. If the Master accidentally dies, all the Servants they bring will disappear. Even if Yami is too special, there is no exception.
Therefore, it is quite normal for Artoria to express concern about this.
However, Yami smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, although Rin usually looks very unreliable, she is quite talented as a magician. What's more, after being strengthened by Medea, she is not weaker than ordinary heroic spirits, and she is more than enough to deal with Kotomine Kirei."
"That's right, Saber, even if you don't believe in that little girl, you should still believe in my magic."
Medea interrupted with a haughty face, but this tone was really hard to accept.
Fortunately, Artoria, who had long been used to her way of speaking, didn't intend to care about it. After hearing this, she nodded clearly, and at the same time moved her eyes to the direction of the church.
Although Cù Chulainn followed, it was still too worrying. So if something unexpected happens later, she can rush up immediately.
However, Artoria's idea was obviously superfluous.
Not long after, there were terrible noises and bursts of magic power fluctuations in the church, but compared with the battle between the heroic spirits, this magic power fluctuation is not particularly obvious.
Yami watched every move inside with his observation haki. Cù Chulainn was standing aside, while Rin was already fighting with Kotomine Kirei.
There is no gorgeous magic, just glowing hands and feet, fists and feet intertwined at the same time. The ground and walls could not withstand this huge force, beginning to collapse in a large area.
"It's unbelievable, you can become so powerful, you really surprises me!"
After being punched back by Rin, Kotomine Kirei twisted his sore wrist and spoke surprised words with a blank expression.
"Then, in response, I will also use my strongest strength to send you to meet Tokiomi."
"You bastard, you are not qualified to mention my father's name, die!"
As soon as her father was mentioned, Rin seemed to be burning with anger. She stomped her feet on the ground and flew towards Kotomine Kirei.
Suddenly, the latter took out six black keys from his clothes and attacked without hesitation. It's a pity that because of the sequelae left by the Fourth Holy Grail War, his body that suffered from the Holy Grail black mud was weaker than before.
Therefore, even after taking out the black key, he was still powerless. You know, the Rin in front of him is an existence strengthened by Medea's magic, capable of completely shaking a heroic spirit. The humanoid crane is not a joke.
After fighting again, Kirei began to retreat steadily. Even if he used the command spell in his hand as a source of magic power in an attempt to increase his strength, it was still useless.
"Kotomine Kirei, die and confess to my father, your teacher, and my mother personally!"
While speaking, Rin kicked Kotomine Kirei into the air, took out several gems, and threw them out. The gemstones burst into bright colors and then hit Kotomine Kirei's body.
Rumble—
There was a terrible explosion. The smoke and dust that filled the sky almost enveloped the entire church, covering everything around it.
Even so, Rin still did not relax, but stared nervously at midair, waiting for the smoke and dust to disperse and confirm Kotomine Kirei's death.
However, the expected landing sound did not come. Just when Rin felt something and planned to use magic to blow away the smoke and dust in the sky, a sharp blade suddenly gushed out, almost forming a sonic boom, and flew towards Rin mercilessly.
In the sudden situation, the latter had no time to react.
"Not good!"
Cù Chulainn, who was watching the play, noticed this and disappeared instantly. The magic spear in his hand swung out violently, and then the blade flew out in the sky. The huge strength also made him change his expression involuntarily.
"Master, a troublesome guy has appeared!"
While speaking, Cù Chulainn's eyes were fixed on the figure in front of him, which was looming.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the enemy who was about to be killed but now he was rescued by someone, this made Rin feel very aggrieved in his heart.
However, after discovering Cù Chulainn's dignified expression, she did not dare to act recklessly.
"It's really embarrassing! Kirei, you can't even deal with a little girl?"
The smoke cleared, and on the high platform in the church, a man in casual clothes was standing there, beside him the rescued Kotomine Kirei. However, the latter still suffered a little damage.
"Ahem, king, it's my incompetence, please forgive me."
"Forget it, it is also the duty of a king to protect his subjects, but only this time, Kirei, if I see you in such a state of embarrassment again, then we can call it a day. This King does not need incompetent subordinates."
Gilgamesh's words were full of aggressiveness, which made the already injured Kotomine Kirei even more urgent. Fortunately, in the past ten years, he probably has a better understanding of Gilgamesh's character.
What's more, after hearing these words, Kotomine Kirei didn't feel nervous. Instead, there was a trace of excitement in the depths of his heart. That kind of pleasure is revealed to the outside uncontrollably.
Sure enough, he is a pervert!
"Let's talk about these things later. I didn't expect to meet this guy tonight. It seems that it is not an easy task to kill Kotomine Kirei."
Yami and others who had been staying outside the church had quietly entered at some point. Yami stood in front of Rin, guarding the latter and Goddess Hephaestus behind him, looking at Gilgamesh with a serious face.
Although he had expected it before coming here, when things really happened, he was still a little helpless.
"Are there so many mongrels here? Kirei, how enviable you are!"
Looking at the crowd surrounding him, Gilgamesh didn't panic in the slightest, but with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he calmly looked around.
One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it, but that's it!
But when Gilgamesh's eyes fell on Yami, the latter could clearly feel that his originally calm smile seemed to have something extra at this moment. That look is like a beast seeing its prey.
"Archer, why are you still here?!"
As an old acquaintance, Artoria took the initiative to stand up, with magical power gushing out from her body. Not only had the armour been formed, but even the 'invisible sword' had appeared in her palm, and she was looking at Gilgamesh not far away with a serious face.
This movement is completely like facing an enemy.
After all, she is a Heroic Spirit who participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, so Artoria naturally understands the horror of Gilgamesh.
So she didn't dare to be careless.
However, after hearing Artoria's question, Gilgamesh just glanced at her lightly, and then withdrew his gaze.
"So it was you?"
"Knight King, you have appeared again, but I don't have much interest in you now, so you should step back first."
After saying this, without giving Artoria time to react, Gilgamesh directly fixed his gaze on Yami.
Everyone present clearly noticed that the smile on this man's face had changed.
"Yo, we meet again, Archer!"
"Isn't this our first meeting?"
For this problem, Yami seems to be quite concerned.
This kind of familiar tone like an old friend makes people feel very uneasy, especially the smile on Gilgamesh's face, it is too weird.
"Archer, do you know this guy?"
Rin hurriedly asked from the side.
She took everyone's reactions into her heart, and this guy in front of her must be a difficult guy to deal with.
Even if the opponent rescued her hated enemy in his hands, she did not choose to act rashly at this time, even though her side had the advantage in numbers.
"Yes, the oldest king of mankind, the king of Uruk, the 'King of Heroes' Gilgamesh."
"Nani?!"
Hearing this, Rin was stunned.
As a modern person plus a magician, she naturally knows what Gilgamesh means, that kind of ancient king, absolutely no one is weak.
"Then why did he know you?"
"Who knows? Maybe he has a very high level of clairvoyance, can see the future, or learned from others, but if I remember correctly, the highest clairvoyance should be possessed only by Gilgamesh, who is promoted as a Caster. "
Yami rationally analyzed the situation in front of him, his face was gloomy for a while, and he was a little uncertain.
The situation in front of him was obviously beyond his expectations.
"Hehe, who told you that my clairvoyance can only appear on other job agencies?"
Gilgamesh showed a disdainful smile, and the arrogance on his body became more intense.
"So, do you see the future through clairvoyance? What a cheater…"
With the positive response from the person concerned, Yami probably knew what had happened and sighed helplessly.
The OmniscientOmnipotent Star plus the highest clairvoyance.
What's the point of continuing? Might as well surrender directly.
Yami could only rely on himself, using the ability to foresee the future through his observation haki, but the highest clairvoyance was an unreasonable existence.
If the magic power is sufficient, it can traverse the entire river of history.
But why hadn't this happened during the simulation process?
Yami had deep doubts about this. Every time he went through the simulation, some unexpected events occurred, which was simply confusing.
Gilgamesh in this state was a bit too reckless!
Yami thought to himself whether he should use space power directly to kill Kotomine Kirei first.
As for Gilgamesh, they could discuss specific strategies with the others before trying to defeat him.
However, the idea was only fleeting.
With Gilgamesh's clairvoyance, he could foresee the future, and all conspiracies and tricks would have no effect on him.
Unless he decided to start 'surfing' again!
But judging from the current situation, it was unrealistic to make Gilgamesh reckless. In the previous simulation process, this guy was always inevitable.
Yami just didn't understand why Gilgamesh hadn't escaped his attack in the end.
Even if it was an attack with space power, it should have been possible to dodge.
"Are you thinking about killing Kotomine Kirei first?"
While Yami was brainstorming, Gilgamesh's voice sounded again.
Hearing this sentence undoubtedly made his heart feel heavier.
"Does clairvoyance have this kind of ability? It can actually see countless possibilities? Shouldn't that be the second method possessed by the magician, which can only be observed?"
"This kind of thing can be imagined with the brain."
"At first, a memory about you suddenly appeared in my mind. I thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect it to be real. It's so interesting to come from another world!"
When those words came out, Yami had already confirmed that this guy really knew his origin.
And it's still amazing how it works!
During the simulation process, Gilgamesh would show such a meaningful expression after being shot by him. Is this the reason?
Did he know it all along, or was it a coincidence?
"Then, I will give you another chance now, to become the king's servant and dedicate your loyalty."
"This sentence is not funny, Gilgamesh. Since you know something in your mind, it should also be clear to you that it's "I die or you die.""
Yami's expression remained cold, with no intention of giving in.
Even if the opponent was the King of Heroes!
"Sure enough, even though you're a mere mortal, I'm amazed by your persistence. But it's a pity that what I fancy can never escape from the beginning."
"That's why, in my dream, I will be killed by you!"
"After all, it doesn't matter how things like dreams are, it's still the happiest thing to be able to grasp a real person with your own hands."
"So be my subject, Archer!!"
As his voice fell, a large number of golden halos appeared behind Gilgamesh in an instant.
The Gates of Babylon had opened, revealing the king's treasures.
