[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

As the oldest king, Gilgamesh can be said to have seen all the prosperity of the world. He possessed countless treasures. After his death, these things became part of his treasures. There will be things he has never seen.

It's just that - the scene in front of me is like a dream, unreal.

The sky is not just the sky, just like the reflection of the world, a magnificent castle stands in it, and the building hidden in the smog seems real and unreal, and its beautiful appearance can be vaguely seen.

"Oh? This is truly a treasure-like Noble Phantasm."

Putting away the casual smile on the corner of his mouth, King Gilgamesh put his arms around his chest and looked directly at the blue-haired boy directly opposite him, "Your surprise is really pleasant, Caster."

"you flatter me."

While saying such words, Astra's eyes were not stained with the slightest smile. He performed a knight's salute, his voice was as cold as ice that could not be melted, sharp and sharp.

"Acher... No, King Gilgamesh, if this is your cemetery, it's not that hard to accept."

Gilgamesh snorted coldly and raised his hand.

However, nothing happened.

Astonished by the enormous force generated in the space, Gilgamesh looked down at the ground as if aware of it.

The dazzling King's Treasure is in the world under his feet, and the icy color revealed by the handle is undoubtedly responding to its owner's request.

However, no matter how repeated, King Gilgamesh could not make his treasure house appear by his side.

"The sealed world."

The blue-haired boy on the opposite side raised his eyes, with a little complexity in his eyes: "That's what the gods call it."

Gilgamesh sneered, and simply gave up using the King's Treasure.

"It's really ridiculous of you to treat other people's things as your own Noble Phantasm, Caster."

Hearing this, Astra slightly opened her eyes wide, full of puzzlement.

"Do you know what that castle is?" Gilgamesh pointed to the vague mirage above his head, speaking harshly, "It is something that exists in legends, it is the temple of the sea god."

"Oh?" Astra inadvertently glanced across her face, her tone could be called extremely indifferent, "So what?"

"You—" Gilgamesh froze.

"Using everything available to realize our ideals, this is what we followers should do."

A corner of Astra's robe was lifted, revealing the sapphire blue thing hidden on her body.

"You who have lost the king's treasure, shouldn't be unable to do anything?"

The young man's words angered the King of Heroes, his eyes were filled with anger, and the lines on his face were very stiff.

"Miscellaneous cultivator, you want to die... this king will fulfill you!"

The pitch-black sword wrapped by the golden hilt is a weapon with intricate patterns. Just by being summoned, people can already feel a destructive aura, and when Gilgamesh holds it in his hand Astra knew it was dangerous.

However, he has his own considerations about provoking this follower, and he will not feel regret or fear because of it.

From the beginning to the end, Astra had no intention of pleasing the king, so after confirming that the other party could not communicate, he was ready to let him withdraw from the Holy Grail War.

It's not disgust, it's not hatred, it's just purely for winning.

When the dazzling light that was no less than the memory bloomed, Astra's eyes were so empty for a moment, and when those eyes full of wisdom were reinfused with life force, his master seemed to become another People, the breath around them keeps changing, and finally turns into a rage that can swallow everything.

"...Servant?"

As if whispering, "Astra" stretched out his hand, holding a strangely shaped weapon in his hand, and looked at the blond youth who was already standing in the air without emotion in his eyes.

"I didn't expect to be awakened under such circumstances. It's really unexpected."

With a soft sigh, "Astera" flipped the weapon in his hand, held the handle with one hand, and tapped it lightly on the ground.

With a "click", the ground, like the phantom of another world, cracked at a rapid speed, and it sank in a moment.

Not as Gilgamesh thought, there was no treasure of his king under the broken ground, nor the dark world he had seen before.

The turbulent sea rolled and tore apart the original silence of the space, and the sound of the sea tumbling couldn't help irritating Gilgamesh's ears.

This change made Merlin, who was on standby, flustered.

"Ehhhh—?"

Merlin hastily applied an invulnerability to himself, pulled Artoria next to him to a safe place, and murmured, "This is different from what I said at the beginning."

"...Merlin?"

Arturia recalled the battle plan that the teacher told her before, and she was a little confused about the current situation. She didn't remember hearing that large-scale damage would happen.

Realizing that he had made a basic mistake, Merlin raised his forehead and said, "I forgot that he never needed to rely on others. He was like this when he was a human before. Now that he has become a follower, it has become even worse. "

"Astra behaved like this when she was a human?"

Relying on being sheltered by the water spirit, Artoria would not fall into the sea.

Despite the sea water hitting the barrier, Merlin looked into the distance.

"Artoria, I don't think we need to take action anymore."

Having seen Astra's single-handed strength, coupled with the inherent enchantment he possessed, it would definitely make Gilgamesh want to die, and the outcome of this battle is already clear.

When the visible range was covered by sea water, Artoria frowned slightly: "Even so, we should always be prepared."

"correct."

Suddenly remembered something, Merlin asked: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Merlin still remembered that this student of his was good at everything, but he insisted too much on the way of chivalry, which made Emiya Kiritsugu not believe her result.

Before, he conveyed the original words to Artoria according to what his master said, and he thought he would get a rejection response, but it turned out not to be the case.

"I agree with your battle."

Focusing on one-on-one duels is Artoria's strength, but it is not a characteristic that a servant should have.Before Astra appeared, she had been questioned and rejected by Emiya Kiritsugu. Although Irisviel kept saying that she couldn't face it, she didn't think it was what she said on the surface.

As Emiya Kiritsugu's follower, Artoria always felt that this man was extremely cold and cruel, and his behavior and style often made her unacceptable.

And all this changed after meeting the follower Astra.

Even though he is also a Servant, Astra was able to persuade Emiya Kiritsugu to do what he asked; as a Servant, Astra would not insist on a direct confrontation, he even showed a kind of "victory". is the first” attitude.

Perhaps, it was his outlook on life that insists on justice and unscrupulous means, which made Emiya Kiritsugu give him a very high evaluation, and thus chose to trust him.

Listening to Merlin's words, Artoria's expression was calm.

"I couldn't stop Emiya Kiritsugu from designing the Lancer team, and I couldn't change Emiya Kiritsugu's attitude towards me. What I couldn't do, Astra did."

Merlin tentatively asked, "So——you want to change?"

"Yes, I am a knight and a servant at the same time. I know what I should do and what I should stick to..."

While talking, Artoria showed a helpless smile.

"Emiya Kiritsugu believes in Astra, so I will believe in it to the end."

Until now, Merlin was still shocked by the huge changes brought about by Astra. He always thought that he was the type to be alone, but he didn't expect that this time... It is not ruled out that he will resist being used as a sacrifice, but he is more I believe it was the boy's instinctive choice.

Blue and gold are opposite each other.

The body of “Astera” slowly left the sea surface and floated into the air.

Opposite him, Gilgamesh, who had already released the treasure in his hand, had a serious expression on his face.

Amidst the huge waves, the two servants released the treasures in their hands at the same time.

"Enuma Elish."

"..."

"Astera" didn't speak out the name of the treasure, for him, this was a superfluous process, he just waved the weapon in his hand seemingly casually, and it was enough to tear the treasure in the entire space. The power was weakened to the point that... it just scratched his face.

"You bastard—!"

Finally, he realized that he was misled. Caster's Noble Phantasm did not limit his role at all, but completely blocked everything about him.

Magic power, Noble Phantasm, skills... As long as it belongs to Gilgamesh, all the servant powers will be deprived of it. From the moment he arrogantly stepped into this enchantment, he was already doomed to defeat.

Seeing his reaction, "Astera" was quite bored: "In the final analysis, it's only to this extent..."

Putting away the weapon with a bored face, his body shook slightly.

Seeing the blond servant who wanted to kill him on the opposite side, Astra was a little puzzled, but he didn't miss the opportunity.

He activated the concept dress in his hand, received the signal, and Merlin also took action.

The dreamy leadership and heroism have been applied to the heroic spirits standing in front of them.

The waves gradually calmed down, and the golden halo flashed across them, and the beliefs that countless people yearned for turned into entities and flocked to the place where the blonde girl was.

Holding up the sword in his hand, he chanted his real name aloud, that's the attitude that a king of ever-victorious should have!

"Excalibur—!"

The Noble Phantasm transformed into miraculous brilliance splits the sea and heads straight for the target.

Then, the mighty king finally had to leave the stage.

After putting away the treasure, the three heroic spirits stood at the original place, facing the bright moonlight, and smiled at the same time.
