Chapter 16
. You are also a king of Britain?!
Chapter 16. You are also a king of Britain?!
The golden light shining from the streetlights and the sounds they emitted immediately drew everyone's attention.
"Huh? What's going on, that guy?"
Jonouchi was baffled by the appearance of the servant clad in golden armor who was "laughing out loud."
You've already made your appearance, so what's with all this loud "hahaha"?
"Not bad! You scoundrels have certainly provided me with some amusing entertainment."
But the first sentence the other party uttered made Jonouchi's eyelids twitch.
This condescending attitude inexplicably reminded him of a certain "old friend".
"Another strange guy has arrived."
Sakura Kyoko turned her head and glanced at Gilgamesh standing on the street lamp, making a low comment.
"Bang!"
But just then, a clash drew their attention.
Berserker swung his golden giant axe, knocking the holy sword from Kenshin's hand.
The holy sword spun and wobbled in the air before falling down in front of Saber.
"?"
After doing this, Berserker put away his golden giant axe, a scene that puzzled the other Servants.
"!"
Kenshin reacted quickly and retreated directly below Gilgamesh.
Berserker must have known that he and Archer were on the same side, so he deliberately knocked away the holy sword that Archer was holding.
"Hmph, it's been a long time since I've seen a Servant like this."
"I am slightly interested in the true name of this miscellaneous cultivator."
Ignoring the other party's rudeness in not greeting him, Gilgamesh looked down at Berserker with arrogance.
The fact that Berserker could make such a judgment proves that he already held considerable weight in the eyes of this king.
The weapons the opponent possessed were none of those found in his King's Treasury.
Whether it was the evil dragon greatsword filled with resentment or the golden spear, magic book, and giant axe that could change at any time, they were all "brands" I had never seen before.
You should know that Gilgamesh is known as the "Oldest King".
Its treasure, "Gate of Babylon," is the original artifact containing all of humanity's treasures.
In other words, as long as a treasure existed in history, it would definitely be in his treasury. The sheer number of treasures he possessed was so vast that even he himself couldn't remember how many there were.
Therefore, once Saber's holy sword was revealed, he knew her true identity at a glance.
Even so, Berserker's weapons and heavy armor were unlike anything he had ever seen before.
This is quite novel.
"And... always hiding in the shadows."
"Is this year's Rider a rat?"
Berserker did not reply, but Gilgamesh was not in a hurry; he was very patient with those he set his sights on.
His eyes glanced in a certain direction, and ripples appeared in the space behind him.
"What?"
"Are those all Noble Phantasms?!"
"Even more outrageous than Berserker?"
In everyone's view, seven or eight ripples were churning, from which all sorts of knives, swords, spears, and halberds emerged.
"Swish swish!!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
The weapon was fired, piercing through the nearby dense forest and causing an explosion.
"What happened?"
Jonouchi and Sakura Kyoko were still confused as to why the other side had suddenly launched an attack in that direction.
But when the thick smoke cleared and a giant robot appeared at the source of the explosion, everyone was stunned.
"That's a pretty rude way to greet someone."
"Such a savage and violent temper."
"That does fit the image of those ancient kings."
The barrier blocked the incoming attack, and Lelouch, dressed in a magnificent white imperial suit, stood on the outstretched hand of the mecha.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's what it means."
"Are all seven Servants present?"
Realizing what had happened, Jonouchi reached out and counted the people around him in astonishment.
He didn't expect today to be so exciting. He went out to find someone to "duel" with, and ended up meeting all seven of them here.
"Is this guy Rider, and that golden-haired guy Archer?"
"He wasn't using a bow and arrow, he was just shooting randomly with other weapons."
Sakura Kyoko frowned as she looked at each other's identities and spoke.
This was the first time she had ever heard of archers shooting their weapons like "arrows".
When they get involved with these weirdos, the magical girls seem much more normal.
"Hmph, you mongrel! Who gave you permission to stand on the same level as me?"
Ignoring Sakura Kyoko's questions, Gilgamesh said in a deep voice as the "door" behind him opened again.
"Oh dear, I am an emperor after all, there is no reason for me to bow down to you."
The mech's cannons were already aimed forward, and Lelouch had no intention of showing weakness.
(A Heroic Spirit who uses multiple Noble Phantasms and fires them as "arrows")
(His arrogant personality and self-proclaimed kingly pronouncements.)
(It's so hard to find a suitable target.)
But what puzzled Lelouch was the other party's identity.
Heroic Spirits
To put it simply, they are historical heroes and great figures.
That is, there is a past, present, and future.
Many of their deeds are elevated to legend, and some are even transformed into magical artifacts and abilities.
Even just by observing Archer's behavior, Kelvin couldn't immediately guess which "king" the other party was from.
Just like Berserker before it, it is full of unknowns.
On the contrary, Assassin and Saber are easier to figure out.
One is definitely a Heroic Spirit from Japan, and the other is a Knight King wielding a holy sword.
"That magic... is it you?!"
"The culprits who attacked us on the beach!"
"Why did you have to interrupt my showdown with Assassin back then?!"
Saber recognized Lelouch's connection to her and exclaimed in surprise.
"?"
Upon hearing this, Lelouch instinctively raised a question mark above his head.
This is not a one-on-one duel before the emperor, but a war to pursue one's desires.
Who cares which opponent you're facing head-on?
The point the other party made made Lelouch doubt whether Waver's previous guess about his identity was true.
"Are you truly the King of Britain?"
With this question in mind, Lelouch asked in return.
"Varied?"
"What does it matter?"
When Saber was recognized, she was taken aback at first, but after thinking about the holy sword in her hand, she realized what was going on.
Her holy sword was too famous, and it was only a matter of time before her identity was exposed. She opened her mouth to refute, but she didn't understand Lelouch's meaning.
"No, if this is your way of being king."
"I just feel that Britain during that period was far too pitiful."
"you?!"
Saber was immediately enraged by this description.
"Hahaha!! I see."
"Are these your real names?"
"This is truly a hilarious scene!"
Before Saber could even ask a question, the golden glitter on the street lamp burst into laughter.
Before anyone could figure out if this person was sick or what, he blurted out a shocking truth.
"Britain has two rulers?"
"How interesting this is!"
"Archer! What does that mean?"
Saber was stunned by Gilgamesh's words, while Lelouch had a bad feeling.
But the other party said it with a rare, playful tone.
"Artoria Pendragon!"
"Lelouch vi Britannia."
"What's going on? How can there be two kings of Britain at the same time?"
