Chapter 197 Servant Gathering
"Oh, finally he's going to bring out Ea. Looks like this king's mentality isn't so good~"
Lin Yu looked at Gilgamesh pulling out a red club and sighed. This Noble Phantasm is said to be able to kill millions of people in one hit, but its power is definitely more than that. After all, it is the pinnacle of Noble Phantasms. Only Saber, who was holding the sword sheath "Avalon", defeated him in a head-on battle. Her Noble Phantasm "Distant Ideal Land" is an EX bug Noble Phantasm like Ea, so bugged that it directly led to her being banned.
Although the scabbard had fallen into the hands of her Master twice, she simply couldn't use it. It was understandable that Shirou Emiya was unaware of this, but Kiritsugu Emiya's refusal to let her use it because he didn't trust Saber was a huge insult to her intelligence.
Of course, if Kiritsugu Emiya didn't understand Avalon's true abilities and simply thought it had a self-healing effect, and therefore felt it wouldn't be very useful for Saber, so he decided to leave it for Irisviel and himself, two relatively fragile humans, then that would be somewhat understandable.
"Roar!!!"
But at this moment, Gilgamesh's opponent is not only Lin Yu. Hercules, who is bound by the "Chains of Heaven," is no pushover. His extraordinary power cannot be permanently bound even when facing Gilgamesh's anti-god special attack, the "Chains of Heaven."
"Crack!"
Hercules suddenly broke free of the "Chains of Heaven," then leaped high into the air, swinging his giant axe down towards Gilgamesh's head.
"boom!"
Gilgamesh was sent flying by Hercules. Even though he was the "oldest king," he could not compete with Hercules in a pure contest of strength.
While Gilgamesh can demonstrate some strength in close combat with the help of the Vault equipment, his greatest strength lies in large-scale firepower output. When he unleashes his full power, he can rival the combined strength of five or six Servants.
However, his close combat skills are really not impressive, after all, he once had his arm cut off by Shirou Emiya, which became his eternal pain.
The so-called "carelessness and failure to dodge" is just an excuse. In the end, it is still due to a lack of personal strength. If it were any other Servant facing Shirou Emiya's attack, apart from Caster, there would probably be an 80% chance of avoiding it.
"Roar!!!"
Hercules roared and chased after Gilgamesh in the direction he had fallen. His relentless pursuit and attack were enough to take half of Gilgamesh's life.
However, he was once again tightly bound by the "Chains of Heaven" and unable to get close to Gilgamesh.
"Mixed-breed cultivator! Mixed-breed cultivator!"
Gilgamesh was enraged and cursed Hercules as a "mongrel," then launched a relentless bombardment of him.
This time his criticism was quite apt, because in Greek mythology, there are indeed very few gods who are not "hybrids," since most gods are products of chaos.
However, Lin Yu did not stand idly by. Before Hercules completely disappeared, he successfully rescued him, preventing Uncle B from being shot to death in such a humiliating manner.
Hercules was truly ruined by the Einzbern family. Despite possessing extraordinary strength, he was reduced to a punching bag that anyone could hit, becoming a pathetic unit of measurement for combat power.
"Boom boom boom!"
C's mother used various magic spells to attack Gilgamesh directly. Although the reason is unknown, it is probably because she couldn't stand seeing Hercules being bullied by Gilgamesh.
As for Rider, she simply stayed quietly to the side, after all, in this form, she resembled the Olympian gods led by Zeus.
The one who forcibly possessed her body was Poseidon, the sea god and brother of Zeus, while Perseus, Hercules' uncle, was the one who murdered her.
"By the way, Saber, who is that guy?"
Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin were very curious about this, after all, they had witnessed Hercules' strength, and now they were being crushed by that guy and were about to be killed.
"He was an ancient and powerful king, extremely difficult to deal with. Last time I fought him to the last moment, but I didn't expect him to retain his physical body."
Artoria's expression was solemn. She felt that in her current state, it would be difficult to confront the Hero King head-on as she had done before.
Because she couldn't unleash her full power this time, as the magical energy provided by Shirou Emiya was too weak, she had to fight while maintaining her own existence.
"Why don't you all move away for a bit? That guy's gone mad, and the aftermath is something you can't handle."
Lin Yu originally wanted to use the Blue Light Defense System to block it, but if Gilgamesh were to strike head-on, the Blue Light Defense System would probably collapse. So he glanced at Rider and decided to let Rider take the three Masters away first, or let Souichirou Kuzuki take Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka away.
Now that "Gilgamesh" is here, the situation is completely different from fighting Hercules.
Fighting Hercules is a real head-on clash, but if they were to fight "Golden Gilgamesh," they would probably end up exchanging beams of light, which these Masters, with their mortal bodies, couldn't withstand.
“…”
However, Rin Tohsaka, Shirou Emiya, and Souichirou Kuzuki remained silent in response to Lin Yu's suggestion, as they each had their own reasons for insisting on staying.
Shirou Emiya had already promised to fight alongside Saber Artoria, and this time he wouldn't run away.
Souichirou Kuzuki would never abandon Caster Medea and leave alone. His reasons were even more compelling than Shirou Emiya's. After all, he and Caster Medea were mutually in love, and he also possessed certain combat abilities, given that he was a Teacher.
Rin Tohsaka made a promise to him: to win the Holy Grail War for her. Looking at it this way, Rin Tohsaka's reason is not sufficient, since the Holy Grail War can be won even if you just stay at home.
"Alright, since we all have such deep bonds, let's stay here. Rider and Caster, you two protect the Master. Saber and I will go and fight him."
Lin Yu was helpless. This was the power of fate, the bond between them. He had no choice but to unleash the Gold Card Blue Light Defense System, which turned into a remote control with a red button in the middle.
"Rin, this is for you. Press it if you encounter any danger."
Lin Yu tossed the remote control to Rin Tohsaka and said, "After all, Dog Bro has also secretly come. In addition to Rider and Caster's protection, we need to add another layer of defense."
Although I know that Dog Brother isn't that kind of person, his Master Kirei Kotomine is. His Causality Spear is unpredictable and perfect for ambushing his Master.
Lancer, who was hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yu's arrangement. Although they were enemies, he preferred to defeat them fair and square. Now that he saw his opponent was so cautious, he felt at ease. He didn't care at all about winning the Holy Grail War through a sneak attack.
