The same unfolding as before, Rhodes didn't move at all in the face of the rain of treasures shooting from all directions like a distorted space.

However, what followed was a scene beyond everyone's expectations.

Accompanied by a creepy sound, the boy's body was pierced by golden treasures one by one——

Like Blackbeard in a wine barrel, he was tied into a hedgehog cat.

"--Varied."

Facing this sudden accident, Gilgamesh was dumbfounded.

"Master!!!"

"Rod!!!"

"Master Rhodes!!!"

The exclamations of the women came from far away on the battlefield.

"... What are you doing here?"

Looking at Rhodes, who was covered in swords and halberds and bleeding profusely, Gilgamesh's red pupils burned with anger.

"Cough ha...! It's nothing, it's just a fatal injury."

Rhodes stood unsteadily on the desert, and squeezed out a wry smile.

"Okay, it's my turn to attack... King of Heroes."

……

……

……

"Why, Lord Rhodes, why don't you hide..."

Watching Rhode's body pierced by chaotic swords at the end of the desert one kilometer away from the battlefield, Irisviel couldn't help clenching her fists.

The Rhodes he knew was the mysterious boy who could easily repel that arrogant Archer.

With the facts she saw with her own eyes and the heart of a girl who was obsessed with him, Irisviel took it for granted that Rhodes was the strongest.

But now, that Rhode was unprepared for Archer's casual blow, and now he even finds it difficult to stand.

"Lord Rhodes... By the way, where are Lancer and Caster!?"

She looked at the figures of the other two riders on the battlefield in confusion, but was surprised to find that the expressions on the faces of the two of them were neither confusion nor panic, but——

Together with the tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, their faces were pale and their bodies could not move, showing a look of fear.

"...?"

Because she is artificial.

Precisely because she is artificial.

Therefore, Irisviel did not know.

As long as it is the shackle that human beings cannot escape.

At this moment, all the human beings present recalled the horror when they were once dominated by the anger of ■■.

……

……

……

"It hurts...cough, cough, cough!"

Rhodes, who had just said that he wanted to fight back, supported his knees in the next second, and vomited blood on the ground.

"……Humph."

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, and he saw that the bright red blood flowing from the boy's wound was rendered in a black shadow.

The blood dripping on the ground turned into black mud that was constantly sloshing, with bubbles gushing out like water about to boil.

"What's wrong, Archer!?"

Noticing the strangeness, Iskandar yelled and rushed to Gilgamesh's side, looking down at the dying Rhodes from his horseback in surprise.

"Stay away, Rider! Hmph, is that the mud that can corrode heroic spirits, no... that can also blacken gods?"

The King of Heroes, who was sweating from his cheeks, held his breath: "You don't think that you can kill all the soldiers here with just a little blood from your body?"

The beast slime that flowed out from the boy's body was terrifying, but such a small amount could be evaporated with the Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.

It would be too naive to rely on such a little black mud to launch a counterattack.

"Hello... King of Heroes."

Without even looking at his face, Rhodes wiped the black mud from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said lightly.

"Look carefully...it's not my blood."

"...?"

Is Rhodes fragile enough to return to the black mud state before hatching?

No.

If someone with knowledge was present, it would be possible to find that this black mud and the Cradle of Beasts that once existed in the large underground cavity in Tokyo are specious things.

The black that slowly flows down from Rhodes' body is "something" that has the completely opposite nature to his existence.

The voice that sounded from the depths of the darkness was not cursing or gluttony, but——profound love and sorrow.

"That's enough... I've heard enough of your nonsense. It's the fault of my king who had expectations of you."

Staring at Rhodes' King of Heroes coldly, he let out a long sigh.

Even the big red dragon in the prophecy, now he is just a bug lying on the ground after all, not even the snake that he hates.

The magic sword [Original Sin] emerged from Archer's hand.

As a reward that made the King of Heroes feel happy even if it was only for a moment, let's use this original chosen sword to end Rhode's fragile life.

"—disappear, cub."

Astonishing magical power burst out from the body wrapped in golden armor, and Gilgamesh was about to release the chosen sword Original Sin in his real name——

"This is exactly... mother's tears."

The words that Rhodes muttered froze the surrounding air and the actions of the King of Gold.

Even Gilgamesh, who had always maintained a proud posture, couldn't help showing timidity, and had the illusion that his heart stopped beating.

"Injured my lovely me to such an extent, my mother... is very angry now."

"Hey...what the hell—"

Seeing this horrific scene, the legendary horse under King Conqueror roared frantically.

"Rider, Archer, didn't he tell you whose child I am?"

It's too pitiful for your subordinates to die here without knowing who they are fighting, he said with a smile.

"I'm just a monster who only knows how to eat. I can't do things like make the "world" chaotic."

"The King of Heroes he calls you the youngest son of Babylon the Great—"

After Iskandar said this, a natural confusion flashed through his mind.

Since the last confrontation, who is the "Great Babylon" that Archer has been constantly mentioning?

On the other side, the King of Heroes' expression turned pale: "It's hard... Could it be that you can even use your mother's power..."

Rhodes didn't answer, and a strangely shaped golden dagger appeared in his hand.

Even if Gilgamesh wanted to forget, he couldn't forget that what the young man was holding at this moment was the [Invasion Blade Gold] that cut off his wrist earlier.

"Gilgamesh, I have to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to meet my mother again."

"You said that everything in the world originally belonged to your treasure, but after you died, they flowed to the world.

It's the same with this [Invasion Blade Gold]. It used to be a member of your treasury, but it fell into the hands of Caster, and now it's in my hands. "

呲——

Rhodes stabbed the golden dagger into his chest wordlessly, and whispered ecstatically.

"Praise... be praised as the mother of [Babylon the Great]!

The woman who first held the Holy Grail on this planet was named Tiamat! "

……

……

……

"what is that?"

Artoria looked at the center of the battlefield.

My Master is gradually leaving the human form.

The King of Heroes armor that had been inserted into his body just now has slowly dissolved into his body together with the clothes on his body.

Stripes of red and black cloth appeared on the boy's naked upper body, covering his slender body.

On both sides of the girlish and delicate appearance, there are gigantic goat horns that look like demons.

And at the center of his chest—is stuck in Sister Wang's 【Invasion Blade Gold】.

It stabbed in as if piercing through the spiritual core, only the horn-shaped hilt was exposed on the skin.

"Through [Invading Blade Gold], my physical body is now connected to my mother who is far away.

As the child closest to her, I can naturally exercise her power now. "

Rhodes calmly explained to the speechless Archer.

"Gilgamesh, although this is a story you don't know "now"...

However, this knife is indeed the only mortal thing in this world that has hurt the mother's soul. "
