A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 503 The Truth of the Holy Grail

"call--"

The earth was churning, the wind was howling, and the golden-red flames swept in all directions, instantly blowing Emiya Shirou upside down while running.

Saber appeared next to Emiya Shirou in an instant, wrapped around the petite Illya with one hand, and grabbed Emiya Shirou's wrist with the other hand, her legs drummed vigorously, standing on the ground as if rooted superior.

"Caught!"

Saber breathed a sigh of relief, and then freed up to look at the giant palm that fell from the sky ahead, a trace of doubt and incomprehension appeared in her emerald green eyes.

"However, why..."

The violent wind gradually subsided, and the giant palm that slapped the ground slowly lifted up, and countless mud and sand fell from between the fingers, leaving a fresh giant palm print on the spot.

"Allah……"

A frivolous voice sounded, and a blond man in a white shirt and a black tracksuit came over holding a treasure umbrella, with a smile on his handsome face, he looked up at the huge Balrog in front of him.

"I really didn't expect that you would actually act for them."

...is it coming?

Lin Yi, who was at the core of the Balrog, frowned slightly. Countless golden-red streams of flame wrapped around his arms and shocked him. In an instant, the golden weapons stuck on the back of his hands fell to the ground, and immediately turned into countless golden spots of light. dissipated in the air.

"I didn't expect that Gilgamesh, the most ancient hero king, would sneak up on a child from behind."

"Kid?" Gilgamesh smiled faintly. "Are you referring to the doll over there that is the container of the Holy Grail? As a fusion of artificial human and human, magicians have created something whimsical again!"

"..."

Emiya Shirou was slightly taken aback, as if he was a little puzzled, but Saber beside him fell silent, and looked at Illya in his arms involuntarily.

"Is this your outlook on life?"

Lin Yi's faint voice came from above, and he sighed in disappointment: "How narrow!"

"How can the king's will be beyond your comprehension..."

The smile on Gilgamesh's face faded away, he glanced at the Balrog lightly, then turned his head, and looked at Saber with a dignified expression beside Emiya Shirou, a smile once again bloomed on his handsome face.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for ten years, Saber~"

Emiya Shirou became even more confused, he stared at Gilgamesh across the way, and then at Saber beside him, and couldn't help but speak.

"Saber, this is—"

"Why are you here?"

Saber interrupted Emiya Shirou, looking at Gilgamesh with a solemn expression.

"Isn't this obvious~" Gilgamesh had a faint smile on his face, "After the last Holy Grail War, this king did not disappear, but stayed in this world."

"how can that be?"

"Because this king is the only heroic spirit who has bathed in the Holy Grail!"

The corners of Gilgamesh's mouth curled up, and he looked at the unbelievable Saber and said happily: "Yes, it is your credit, Saber! Ten years ago, when this king was one step away from getting the Holy Grail, you stopped me, Holy Grail Just like this, I was chopped into two pieces by your holy sword in front of this king..."

"What? Saber cut off the Holy Grail?"

Standing on the shoulder of the Balrog, Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened. Lin Yi didn't respond, but continued to pass the words of Gilgamesh below to Tohsaka Rin.

"...The holy grail broke, and the contents flowing out of it turned into flames, burning all the surrounding streets. The king who was located directly under the holy grail was naturally washed away by the torrent. Since then, the king has obtained this The flesh that can survive in the world is also from then on, this king knows the true face of the Holy Grail."

Gilgamesh paused slightly, then lowered his head and looked at his palm lightly.

"It's really boring... Although it's boring, it's still usable. Since then, this king has decided that it's something that only this king is qualified to deal with."

"……what?"

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but fell from the sky, the purple wings behind her closed and gathered, turning into a purple wing tattoo and printed on her back.

Gilgamesh frowned, glanced at the huge Balrog standing quietly in front of him with some surprise, and suddenly raised his voice and said loudly.

"You have already noticed it, BladeMaster!"

"Where did you say that?" Lin Yi replied flatly, "I have never seen the Holy Grail."

"No, you've already seen it." Gilgamesh's lips curled up slightly, "Since you killed so many heroes and claimed that your eyes can see through illusions, you should have noticed the unusualness of the Holy Grail and Liudong Temple right?"

"Why, I can't believe my eyes, so do you want to confirm it through the king's mouth?"

"It's okay!"

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes with a smile, his eyes swept over Rin Tohsaka, Emiya Shirou and Saber one by one, and said lightly: "The Holy Grail is the gate of hell."

"Once opened, billions of curses will pour out of it, girl over there, didn't Kotomine tell you? It's already a polluted Holy Grail! Those who fell into darkness because of you humans The cup of desire is a kind of human evil that only strengthens the ability to curse and kill humans!"

Gilgamesh's tone became more and more high-pitched, and the people around him became more and more shocked.

"The Holy Grail...has been polluted?"

Rin Tohsaka was stunned in place murmuring, and Saber was also stunned there in a daze.

She responded to the call to participate in the Holy Grail War, and she wanted to use the Holy Grail to realize her wish, but now that she heard the news that the Holy Grail had been polluted, she naturally felt a bit dazed.

Although Shirou Emiya didn't have such worries about Rin Tohsaka and Saber, he still couldn't help but glance at Saber when he heard the truth about the fire in Fuyuki City ten years ago, his eyes were slightly sad.

"The fire ten years ago was caused by Saber cutting off the Holy Grail..."

Seeing that the three of them had fallen into a state of trance for different reasons, Gilgamesh chuckled, slightly raised his scarlet eyes, and glanced at the huge Balrog.

"This king hates the angle of looking up."

Gilgamesh frowned slightly, raised his foot and stepped lightly, a flying boat made of gold and emeralds emerged from the golden ripples, carrying his body up rapidly, and soon reached the level needed by the Balrog. The height of looking up.

"Unknown hero, according to this king's temperament, you who can kill Hercules are enough to impress this king. There is no need to ask your name, but this king's treasury contains all the treasures in the world. The treasure you use is not included, why is that?"

"It's very simple." Lin Yi's faint voice sounded, "Because you are not worthy..."

"..."

The smile on Gilgamesh's face faded away.

"Very good." Gilgamesh looked at the huge Balrog indifferently in front of him, the golden armor covered his body in a golden spot of light, "Thanks to your existence, this king's sense of burnout has been swept away. empty."

As the voice fell, countless golden rippling portals appeared densely behind him, covering the space of thousands of square meters behind him in an instant. The body of the Balrog is even bigger.

A set of weapons with different styles emerged from the ripples with sharp tips.

"Any last words?" Gilgamesh looked at Lin Yi indifferently.

Lin Yi showed disdain.

"NMSL!"

Gilgamesh was furious in an instant, and the raging anger turned into a cold smile on his face. Countless treasures shot out from the golden ripples behind him, covering the Balrog's body in all directions without distinction.

I saw a golden-red flame burst out from the eyes of the incarnation of the Balrog, and he grabbed it forward with his big hand, countless golden-red flames rushed out along his arms, and instantly turned into endless flames and shot towards the front Earth Noble Phantasm.

This is the fire ability attached to the incarnation of the Balrog. Although it is useless against Berserker, who is immune to fire, it is still very effective against those low-level treasures of Gilgamesh.

"boom--"

Infinite flames exploded in mid-air, and countless low-level treasures were melted by the raging flames of hell, turning into molten iron or light spots and bursting in the flames.

This is not surprising. After all, if you want to cover an area of ​​thousands of square meters with the tip of a weapon, the amount required must be an astronomical figure. Even a rich man like Gilgamesh needs to mix innumerable low-level treasures to do this.

Almost instantly, seven or eight out of ten of the countless treasures covering the surface of the Balrog's body were sifted away.

The remaining treasures broke through the flames with howling momentum, pierced heavily into the body of the Balrog, and then either exploded with a bang, creating a huge gap, or turned into light spots and dissipated in the air, re-emerging. Return to the King's Treasury to replenish Gilgamesh's ammunition depot.

The expression on Gilgamesh's face became even more gloomy. He was extremely angry that so many treasures were destroyed at once, even if it was only a low-level treasure of D or C rank.

"Miscellaneous repair, you asked for this!"

An indelible coldness appeared on Gilgamesh's face, and countless golden rippling portals emerged from behind him. Although the scale was smaller than before, the number was still extremely large.

"Shhhhh-"

Countless sounds of piercing the air sounded, and a golden treasure easily broke through the flames in front of the Balrog, stabbing towards the huge body of the Balrog with a whistling momentum.

There is no doubt that these are high-level treasures that cannot be destroyed by the flames of hell.

"boom--"

The golden-red flames exploded, and a huge palm burst out from his eyes. Countless golden-red flames surrounded his arms and exploded, and the bursting waves of fire instantly swung most of the treasures aside.

"Roar!!"

The gigantic Balrog incarnation let out a roar like a volcanic eruption, and the giant palm wrapped in golden-red flames suddenly stretched out, like a hand covering the sky, it grabbed the flying boat in the air.

"Ignorant rats, feel the power of the king to the fullest!"

Gilgamesh sneered, and the countless treasures that were blown away by the fire wave turned into light spots and dissipated, and then appeared in the dense golden ripples behind him, like an endless torrent, meeting the giant palm waving.
