Jonouchi: Strong, Too Strong! I Activate Magic Cylinder!
"Honestly..."
"Boring farce just keeps playing out."
Countless weapons shot out from the "Gate," slaughtering every familiar that dared to approach.
Gilgamesh didn't think much of this so-called "Reality Marble." Perhaps it was a huge trouble for Saber and the others, but for him, it was merely a field he could shatter with a wave of his hand.
Bang!!
Swinging his greatsword, Berserker annihilated a large group of approaching familiars in a single instant.
Compared to the "low-health" trio over there, Berserker and Archer maintained ample combat power.
"Hm?"
"Planning to show off your Noble Phantasm again?"
Seeing Berserker switch to a spear and churn up magical energy, Gilgamesh laughed as usual.
"You are dragged down by that little girl; better not be too impulsive."
"To annihilate a monster of this level, your Master probably can't hold out."
Seeing through the opponent's greatest weakness, Gilgamesh spoke pointedly.
Unlike him, who was supported by Tokiomi Tohsaka and the leyline, Berserker's only source of magical energy was "self-sufficiency."
The little girl from the Matou family wasn't enough to serve as a "charger," which severely restricted Berserker's sustained combat capability.
After fighting and suffering a "fatal" attack until now, both sides had consumed a lot. If Berserker used a high-scale Noble Phantasm to destroy the monster before him, it would inevitably affect Sakura Matou's life.
"Well, although I know you are deliberately inducing me to act..."
"This King is not unreasonable."
"Making an important guest perform repeatedly is a very rude thing for a host to do."
"This time, as an exception, I'll let you witness it."
As if showing off, the Golden King took out a strange key.
Seeming to feel huge oppression, Ophelia lowered her head to look at him, then swung her massive spear to stab.
Clang!!
But it was deflected by Berserker, who had switched to a giant axe.
"What does that guy want to do?!"
Standing below Ophelia, Jonouchi felt inexplicably uneasy. He had been surrounded by familiars since just now. Although he hadn't been attacked, he couldn't feel at ease.
Naturally, he also saw the red light rising ahead. Trace-like markings displayed in the air.
Click!
The sound of shattering glass could be heard.
By the time he reacted, Archer was already holding a "Sword" flashing with strange red light in his hand.
"Now... wake from your slumber."
"EA (Sword of Rupture)!修"
His body began to float up, his unruly appearance displaying arrogance.
Whoosh!
Displaying the ability to create clones, Ophelia transformed into numerous copies.
"Useless struggle..."
Witnessing this scene, Gilgamesh simply swung the "Sword" in his hand.
Rumble!!
An ominous tremor transmitted, and everyone inside the barrier sensed the expanding magical energy.
Crack... crack...
"The world... is collapsing?"
Waver looked up at the sky and found cracks appearing in the strange space, crying out in alarm.
"Is that Archer's Noble Phantasm?"
Saber looked at Gilgamesh, who was surrounded in the middle, and said in astonishment.
Power of this scale was far more exaggerated than the Holy Sword in her hand. Anti-World Noble Phantasm—that was a treasure affecting the concept of the "World"!
She hadn't expected Archer to possess a weapon of such specifications.
BOOM!!
Massive wind pressure burst forth. The Ophelia clones that intended to approach were all blown back, and the excess clones dissipated in the air.
"Sakura!"
Seeing the massive creature being blown down, Jonouchi shouted anxiously.
Shatter!
Like breaking glass, the "World" composing the barrier fell in countless fragments. The surroundings restored to the normal Fuyuki City.
"Saved..."
Waver looked at the calmed surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to break away from that world, coupled with the disappearance of the surrounding familiars, proved they were temporarily safe.
"But Lancer still exists!"
"Archer only shattered the world she created."
Saber looked at the massive creature and spoke up. Waver, Lelouch, and Kenshin immediately looked back, only to find the creature riding the black-and-white horse going on a rampage.
The spear, larger than a building, swept wantonly around.
"What are you doing?!! Sakura!"
Seeing this behavior, Jonouchi couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Hahaha!! Sensing this King's threat and judging that more magical energy is needed to counter it, so she chose to kill those foolish commoners to replenish it?"
Gilgamesh "kindly" answered Jonouchi's question.
"What did you say?!"
"She wouldn't do such a thing!"
Recalling the girl's innocent smile in his mind, failing to believe Kyoko Sakura would do such an extreme thing, Jonouchi retorted angrily.
"Fool. From the moment she used that Noble Phantasm, 'Lancer' ceased to exist."
"It is just a monster without personality, reason, or thought."
"Protecting you is just that obsession at work. And similarly, to protect you, it will choose to absorb more magical energy to fight this King."
"It won't care about anything else..."
Laughing mockingly, Gilgamesh spoke loudly.
Bang!!
"Aaaah!!"
"There's a monster!!!"
Seeming to verify Archer's statement, Jonouchi also discovered Ophelia's behavior.
The massive spear continuously took the lives of sleeping citizens, converting them into magical energy.
Such blatant rioting had already attracted the world's attention and panic.
"Hey!"
"Sakura!! Stop it!"
He shouted loudly with his hands cupped around his mouth, but no matter what, he was ignored.
"Truly a comical scene."
"Don't worry..."
"This King rarely shows off; I will mercifully send you to meet it in that world."
Having already ascended to high altitude, Gilgamesh sneered.
"What?!"
Seeing that massive magical energy condensing, Jonouchi looked up at the sky. Scarlet radiance spattered everywhere; the terrifying airflow even stirred the clouds.
That must be an extremely astonishing strike.
"I won't let you do that!"
"I won't let you kill Sakura!!"
Disregarding everything else, Jonouchi clenched his teeth tight, then placed his hand over his deck.
'Please! My Deck!'
Whoosh!
Consuming the recovered sliver of magical energy, Jonouchi drew the last card from his deck.
"Enuma—Elish (Star of Creation Splitting Heaven and Earth)!"
With no intention of fully releasing EA, Gilgamesh simply blasted out a "plain" strike. Ophelia's massive body had now become the best target.
Even without aiming specifically downward, a volley from a certain height was enough to hit it. This strike would wipe out Ophelia and Caster's lives together!
Seeing the impact coming, Jonouchi glanced at the face-down card he had just drawn and thrown into the Duel Disk, and a crooked smile appeared on his face.
"So strong! Too strong!"
"But I activate—"
"Magic Cylinder!"
