"Such skill... even among Heroic Spirits, it belongs to the upper class."
"Azem? That isn't your true name, is it?"
Fighting Berserker in person, Gilgamesh raised the corners of his mouth and spoke.
"?"
"!"
Saber and Jonouchi, who had been watching from the side, were both stunned.
"This King possesses the ability to see through all things. Although I don't know what is interfering, I can still know the True Names of mongrels."
"But only you... this King cannot see through."
"Even the True Name that can be read is false..."
"You possess such strength and spirit, yet have no Divinity..."
"As a 'Human', you are a bit too unadorned."
Having gradually changed his address for Berserker, Gilgamesh spoke truthfully. Judging from the skills displayed by Berserker, he should be a famous hero in history.
But as the "Oldest King," Gilgamesh really didn't have any impression or reference. Or rather, none of the heroes in his impression matched Berserker's current standard.
An all-around hero skilled in greatswords, spears, magecraft, katanas, and bows... it was hard to imagine he would be a nameless person. With such rare talent, it was no wonder Gilgamesh, who thought highly of himself, looked at him differently.
Even many Divine Spirits would be overshadowed before this hero's performance.
"..."
Still not answering or simply unable to speak, Berserker just swapped the longbow in his hand back to a golden spear. The rising magical energy might be the answer.
"Mn?"
"Noble Phantasm release?"
"Good. Let this King see what skills you have!"
His interest piqued, Gilgamesh stood with his arms crossed wearing golden armor, waiting. The space behind him also rippled.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The wind was howling. Saber and Jonouchi raised their hands to block in front, faintly seeing that exaggerated magical energy release. White light bloomed like fireworks.
Blue light spots emerged from the golden spear, then materialized into a visible form behind Berserker.
"This is?"
"A Dragon?"
Saber had already seen the blue long dragon emerging behind the opponent.
"Roar!"
Roaring, the dragon's mouth opened wide, as if to devour the enemy before it.
Azure Dragon Flame!
The figure had already rushed out. The blue meteor turned into a star on the ground, pointing straight at the golden King ahead.
And at this moment, Gilgamesh was not careless either; instead, he took out a defensive Noble Phantasm capable of resisting "Anti-Fortress" attacks from his Treasury. He wouldn't be foolish enough to rely on his golden armor to tank this hit from Berserker.
BOOM!!
A violent explosion sounded, and a huge pillar of magical light rose from the ground. As if ascending to heaven, the energy pillar reached straight beyond the earth.
"That's too exaggerated!"
Affected by the aftershock, Jonouchi was blown away. He hugged a large tree en route tightly, barely stabilizing his body.
"Ugh!"
Relying on the Holy Sword inserted into the ground, Saber's figure was still sliding back. A deep gully was left on the ground by the friction.
...
"He's really too strong, that Servant."
Even from far away, Waver could see the pillar of magical light rushing into the sky. Judging from the power of this strike from Berserker, Rider definitely couldn't withstand it. He would be pierced through along with the Knightmare.
"Indeed very amazing."
"Therefore, we cannot confront him head-on."
Lelouch naturally didn't plan to provoke that nearly all-powerful warrior head-on. He knew deeply that such a powerful enemy would largely change the situation.
"So joining forces is necessary..."
Also realizing that his current combat power was limited, this wasn't the first time Lelouch encountered this. His own combat power couldn't be said to be too brilliant... or rather, in this war, his true combat level was heinously low.
Putting aside the Knightmare and Geass bonuses, he could be said to have nothing to show except his brain. It fits his setting very well... After all, in the original world, Lelouch was only a representative of "Intellect," not the "Martial" side.
"The Tohsaka family and the Matou family..."
Having already deduced the Master behind Archer and Berserker, Lelouch planned to prepare early. Those two Servants with particularly rule-breaking combat power were not opponents he could win against head-on.
...
"!"
Crack...
After the outbreak, there was no residue left in place. Berserker looked at the surrounding large pit and knew the opponent had left. At the moment his Azure Dragon Flame was about to penetrate the defense, the opponent seemed to be summoned back by the Master's Command Spell.
It didn't end... Although that King didn't seem to have done his best yet, since he was interfered with by the Master, the winner couldn't be determined at this moment. He didn't know if there would be such a good opportunity next time...
Glancing at Saber, who was supporting herself with her sword not far away, Berserker had no intention of continuing to fight. The stored magical energy was exhausted. If he continued, he would verify magical energy from Sakura.
Without disengaging from battle to recover on his own, it would bring danger to her.
"Mn?"
Watching Berserker's dissipating figure, Saber also knew the other party had left, and was a bit astonished. She thought the opponent would take this opportunity to attack, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"Caster..."
Vaguely still feeling the presence of that Servant, Saber had no thought of finding trouble with him. This chaotic battle indeed consumed a lot of her magical energy and stamina. Moreover, whether Kiritsugu and Maiya's rescue was completed was also concerning.
"Not calling me for so long, there should be no problem, right?"
No Command Spell and no call, presumably there was nothing serious. Thinking so, Saber also put away the Holy Sword and the armor she wore.
...
"Pui! Pui!!"
"It's finally over."
"Is that really a human?"
Standing firmly on the ground, Jonouchi dared not believe what he had experienced. These Servants were simply like humanoid Duel Monsters; their performance was truly too amazing.
"How am I supposed to win like this!"
Looking at the only Set card on his Duel Disk, it was a life-saving card he hadn't been able to use since drawing it.
[Soul Relay]
The Monster Cards and other Spell and Trap Cards had been exhausted by that little girl before. In the end, he didn't even know how to use this remaining card.
1234
1233
1232
His Life Points were already running low. Although he barely managed to extend it with some cards before, he couldn't stop it from dropping like this. Sooner or later, he would "self-destruct."
"Ahhh!!"
"So annoying, why is it so troublesome!!"
Walking on the street trying to go home, he held his head in distress.
"Mn?"
"Eh?"
But when passing a corner, Jonouchi's eyebrows jumped. A small figure was sitting on the ground, hugging her knees, thinking about something.
Sensing him, the other party also turned her head to look over.
Lancer... Caster...
"It's you!"
"It's you!!"
Speaking in unison, neither expected to meet again at this moment.
