Chapter 867: Night City Comes to the Rescue, the Expanding Jin Shanshan
Fuyuki City, Enzbern Branch House.
Gilgamesh leaned on the guardrail, looking at the huge axe sword that was close to him, and his face showed a touch of emotion.
Facing the famous hero in the myth, even the foul-mouthed Gilgamesh had a certain respect for him.
Unfortunately, for others, Hercules, who possessed the Noble Phantasm "Twelve Trials", should be the most difficult enemy in this Holy Grail War, but in Gilgamesh's case, he was completely restrained.
The "Heaven's Chain" that once bound the Bull of Heaven that caused famine on earth for seven days was transformed by Enkidu, Gilgamesh's best friend, and was also his most trusted Noble Phantasm.
If the "Heaven's Chain" bound an ordinary Heroic Spirit, then it would be just a stronger chain, but if it bound an opponent with "divinity", then the Heaven's Chain would be the strongest and indestructible shackle.
The higher the divinity, the stronger and more powerful the Heaven's Chain is.
Hercules is not only a demigod, but even after completing the Twelve Trials, he is almost a real Hercules.
With such a high divinity, facing the "Heaven's Chain", a treasure of the God of Law, the result can be imagined.
Even if the martial arts are superb, they can't be used in this situation, so in just a few rounds, Hercules was quickly bound by the Heaven's Chain in the face of constant slashing and extremely narrow room.
The "Twelve Trials" gave Hercules extremely strong survivability, but this almost invincible ability was also countered by Gilgamesh, who possessed the "Treasure of the King".
The treasure that has killed Hercules, will it be ineffective if used on it for the second time because of its extremely high resistance?
This is not a problem at all, because Gilgamesh has nothing else but is very rich.
He can get as many treasures as he wants!
Not to mention that Hercules only has twelve lives, even if he has twenty lives, Gilgamesh will kill him without hesitation.
Seeing Hercules, who was bound by the Heaven's Chain, being tortured by Gilgamesh, the legal loli Illya also cried heartbreakingly.
Because Emiya Kiritsugu never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, Illya always regarded Uncle B, who protected her, as a father.
And now that her invincible Berserker, who had always protected her, fell, Illya naturally couldn't bear such a blow.
And it was precisely because of Illya's cry that Hercules miraculously recovered a trace of reason at the last moment, surpassed the legend, and broke free from the "Heaven's Chain"!
Unfortunately, just when his nameless axe sword was about to smash Gilgamesh's head, his body finally reached its limit.
Watching the axe sword that was so close to him turn into a light spot and gradually disappear, Gilgamesh's face also showed a lingering sense of fear.
Then, he was very angry about his loss of composure. Looking at Illya who was lying on the ground and constantly calling Berserker, he shot out a long sword without mercy.
What they needed was the small Holy Grail in Illya's body. As for the life or death of the container, Gilgamesh didn't care.
"Puchi——————!"
Accompanied by a lot of blood splashing up, the long sword of the treasure released by Gilgamesh did not penetrate Illya's body in the end.
Because when the treasure was about to fall on Illya, Irisviel, as a mother, did not hesitate to use her body to block her daughter.
Women are weak, but they are strong as mothers. This statement is really appropriate for Irisviel.
"Don't————!"
And Illya, who was crying because of Berserker's exit, now looked at her mother who was hugging her and bleeding on her face, and she also cried the most heartbreakingly.
"Tsk, you guys who are in the way, since you want to stage a scene of deep mother-daughter love, then I will fulfill your wish and let your family reunite."
Looking at Irisviel who used her body to protect Illya, Gilgamesh felt a little impatient for no reason, so along with several golden ripples in the air, several treasures suddenly burst out at Illya and her daughter.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who saw this scene from a distance, was horrified and wanted to stop everything, but was entangled by Kotomine Kirei.
On the other side, his own Heroic Spirit Servant Sasaki Kojiro was in a state of danger when facing the female Heroic Spirit wearing black holy armor and long golden hair, and was also unable to rescue.
Looking at several treasures bursting out in the air, Irisviel still closed her eyes and hugged Illya tightly in her arms.
She really hoped that she and Illya were not from the Enzbern family, so that they would not have to participate in the Holy Grail War and find a place to live quietly.
However, fate seemed to have been playing a joke on them. As the vessel of the Holy Grail, she should have died ten years ago.
But a man she met by chance kidnapped her and helped her change her fate.
However, ten years later, Irisviel did not expect that the bad luck of fate would come to them again. Her most cherished daughter, like herself in the past, became the vessel of the Holy Grail.
If she had a choice, she would rather help her daughter bear such a fate, but unfortunately, fate is not something they can choose.
"Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding!"
Irisviel closed her eyes and had originally planned to accept death. Since she could not change Illya's fate, at least she, as a mother, could always accompany her.
However, with a few crisp metal collision sounds coming from her ears, Irisviel, who did not feel any pain, opened her eyes in confusion, and what she saw was a very familiar back figure...
"Your Excellency is at least the oldest king known as the Hero King. You are so ruthless to attack such women and children. Isn't it a bit mean?"
Looking at the face in front of him that he was both afraid of and extremely disgusted with, Gilgamesh also said with a mocking face: "Can they be considered human beings? They are nothing more than some artificial toys.
Besides, I have my own way of doing things. Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Gilgamesh expected that Yecheng would come here. He was indeed not Yecheng's opponent in the past, but the situation is different now.
Having gotten rid of the body of a heroic spirit, he has a powerful magic that can be self-sufficient without relying on the master.
Moreover, in the past ten years, Gilgamesh has not always been a otaku. He has always wanted to avenge his previous shame and has no idea how many times he has trained with Night City as an imaginary enemy.
