Chapter 118 The Rebellious Magician
One is a radiant knight determined to stop the tragedy, the other is a golden king enraged to the extreme...
The two top combatants were locked in a deadly stalemate on the dilapidated bridge.
The fierce battle on the Weiyuanchuan Bridge has completely turned this space into a meat grinder.
Golden spiritual particles collided violently with the materialized gale, and the steel suspension cables snapped one by one like harp strings under the monstrous strength of the two kings.
At that very moment, Gilgamesh and Arthur were locked in close combat.
From the shadows atop the bridge tower, a figure wearing a skull mask emerged, writhing like a pool of black mud.
That was an Assassin clone that Kirei Kotomine dispatched to the outskirts of the battlefield on the orders of Tokiomi Tohsaka.
At the same time, Tokiomi Tohsaka's anxious voice rang out directly in Gilgamesh's mind through the contract channel between Master and Servant:
"Great hero king! Please stop!"
If you unleash your Anti-World Noble Phantasm there, the entire mystery of Fuyuki City will be exposed to the world, and the Tohsaka family's hard work as administrators will be destroyed!
Please, for my sake...
"Shut up, Tokiomi!"
Gilgamesh, while desperately using the hilt of Ea to block Arthur's downward-pressing holy sword, roared furiously in his mind:
"How dare a mere tribute subject interfere with my duel at this time?"
This scoundrel who dared to blaspheme against me must die! My wrath cannot be quelled by your frivolous magician rules!
Arthur, who was standing close by, keenly sensed the unusual fluctuations in Gilgamesh's magical energy.
He had, of course, received Tokiomi's attempt to dissuade him via special magical communication, but Arthur's only reply was a cold, hard one:
"Tokiomi, as long as he still holds that sword that cuts the world, I will never back down even a single step."
The persuasion efforts have completely failed.
The Assassin on the bridge tower, having received Kirei's orders, reluctantly appeared and attempted to convey a final attempt at mediation in a dry, lifeless voice:
"My two kings, my Master..."
"Even a stray dog dares to disturb my enjoyment?!"
A murderous glint flashed in Gilgamesh's crimson serpentine eyes. Without even turning his head, three golden ripples instantly spread across the void beside him.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Three spears crackling with lightning shot out with supersonic kinetic energy, instantly piercing the Assassin atop the tower.
Before the clone could even let out a scream, it was twisted and turned into black spiritual particles and vanished in a miserable way.
However, at the very moment Gilgamesh killed Assassin!
"To dare to be distracted by someone else while fighting me, you are too arrogant, Gilgamesh!"
A sharp glint flashed in Arthur's emerald eyes.
He used the force of the Ea to deflect the attack and then took a step back to dissipate the force. He then used his waist to exert force, and the red dragon’s monstrous strength was poured into his arms without reservation.
With a violent gust of wind, the Holy Sword of Stars slammed into Gilgamesh's breastplate with an extremely powerful low upward slash!
"Bang!!!"
Sparks flew as the golden armor of the divine era groaned under its strain.
Gilgamesh was as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed train, and he was sent flying!
"Boom!"
He crashed heavily onto the bridge surface more than ten meters away, sending rubble and steel bars flying everywhere and creating a huge crater.
"Damn you, you bastard!! I will tear you to pieces!!"
Gilgamesh, covered in dust and dirt, suddenly stood up from the ruins, his magical power surging like a volcano about to erupt, completely going berserk.
He no longer cared about any consequences, frantically pouring massive amounts of magic into the sword Ea in his hand, preparing to forcefully create distance and blast the bridge and Arthur together into hell!
Meanwhile, in the underground magic workshop of the Tohsaka Mansion.
"Master, negotiations have failed. Assassin's clone has been killed by the King of Heroes, and the two are once again locked in a deadly battle."
Listening to Kirei Kotomine's emotionless report reflected in the mercury mirror, Tokiomi Tohsaka closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently.
There is absolutely no room for maneuver now.
The King of Heroes has completely lost control.
Once the Exorcism Sword is unleashed, vast swathes of cities will be razed to the ground.
He will not only lose the Holy Grail, but also become a sinner in the entire magical world.
Tokiomi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the two bright red Command Seals on the back of his right hand.
This moment.
He thought of the source of his lifelong pursuit: the Holy Grail.
He thought of Gilgamesh, who was difficult to please, treated human life like dirt, and didn't even respect him as his master.
He realized that as the second owner of Fuyuki City, he had an absolute responsibility to conceal his secrets.
Finally... in his mind, the image of the blond-haired, blue-eyed otherworldly knight king from the past year appeared.
I pictured Arthur sitting in the Tohsaka family's courtyard, patiently instructing Rin in swordsmanship and smiling gently at Sakura...
One is an uncontrollable bomb that could detonate the world at any moment, while the other is a guardian who, though not bound by contracts, possesses extremely high moral standards and rationality.
"Is this... the only way?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka muttered to himself as he walked back to the chair and slowly sat down.
The anxiety and panic that had arisen from the loss of control of the situation miraculously vanished the moment I sat down.
Instead, there is the extreme coldness and rationality of traditional magicians who are willing to sacrifice everything to achieve their goals.
Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes turned incredibly cold.
He raised his right hand high, instantly channeling the immense magical power within him into the Command Spell.
In order to forcibly reverse the will of a top-tier Heroic Spirit with an extremely high level of self-awareness, he did not hesitate to burn all the remaining Command Seals on the back of his hand!
"Announcement!"
Tokiomi's voice echoed in the silent basement, carrying a resolute determination:
"In the name of Tokiomi Tohsaka, I invoke the Absolute Command Law..."
Gilgamesh, commit suicide!
With that chilling command, the two bright red marks on the back of his hand instantly burst into a blinding red light.
It then gradually fades until it completely disappears from the skin.
From that moment on, Tokiomi Tohsaka completely lost control of the King of Heroes, effectively breaking one of his own trump cards.
He slumped back in his chair, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
"This is... the right choice."
On the Miwon River Bridge.
"Prepare to die!!"
Gilgamesh roared as Arthur slashed him into the ground once again, preparing to use the Chains of Heaven to forcefully create distance and release Ea.
Suddenly, an extremely domineering and massive magical force, which ignored the laws of physics and magical resistance, and directly acted on his spiritual core, descended with a roar!
That is the "absolute command" created by stacking Command Seals together.
Its heavy conceptual binding force, like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripped Gilgamesh's soul.
"This is... a Command Seal?!"
Gilgamesh froze instantly, his crimson eyes filled with disbelief.
Then, something happened that surprised even Arthur.
Behind Gilgamesh, dozens of golden vortexes that were originally intended to shoot at Arthur were strangely redirected by the forceful intervention of the Command Seals.
Those Noble Phantasms, shining with the brilliance of the Age of Gods, slowly peeked out, but this time, their deadly sharpness was not aimed at the enemy.
Instead, they were all firmly locked onto Gilgamesh's own heart and head!
"Buzz~ Buzz".
Gilgamesh's strong resistance caused the veins on his forehead to bulge.
His hand gripping the sword of Ea trembled violently as he struggled against the conceptual force compelling him to self-destruct.
"Tokiomi Tohsaka!!!"
A roar, filled with extreme resentment and rage, as if it would tear the vocal cords apart, resounded throughout the night sky of Weiyuanchuan.
Gilgamesh's features were completely distorted by extreme anger.
Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had always been subservient to him and referred to himself as a subject.
That mediocre, cowardly eccentric magician.
How dare they plot against him from behind? How dare they use such lowly magic to force him to obey? How dare they make him... the lofty King of Heroes... commit suicide?!
"Unforgivable... Unforgivable! I will tear you to pieces, Tokiomi!!!"
