: 40 Servants Fight the Black Dragon!

Chapter 40. Servant vs. Black Dragon!

"Now you're all finished!"

Seeing that the Servants around him were all half-dead, Jonouchi laughed loudly.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

But just as he burst into laughter, a flying sword pierced through the Time Magician's body and shattered him.

"Huh?"

Jonouchi snapped out of his daze and then saw Gilgamesh glaring at him from a high-rise building.

"You bastard, how dare you!"

"How dare you make me, the king, show such a humiliating posture."

Clutching his wound, Gilgamesh's eyes seemed to blaze with fire, and his ferocious face looked exceptionally terrifying.

"You can still stand up?!"

Saber, Assassin, and Rider are all lying on the ground and can hardly stand up, so why can this golden guy still move?

Jonouchi doesn’t understand

"I won't let you cause trouble again!"

Countless "doors" behind him opened, and a dense array of golden light illuminated the night. Gilgamesh felt an urge to shoot the city into a pincushion.

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of your weird attack methods at all!"

"Quickly reaching out, I lifted the trap covering the duel disk," Jonouchi said in a clear voice.

At that very moment, all the doors that the Gate of Babylon had opened vanished.

"What?!"

Unable to retrieve any more treasures from the vault, Gilgamesh felt bewildered for the first time.

"Hey, you guys are all fighting by relying on your so-called Noble Phantasms and skills, right?"

"Then all we need to do is block it."

Looking at the other person smugly, Jonouchi rubbed his nose and shouted.

[Skill Draw]

That's a trap card that can be activated by paying a certain amount of magic power. It's a powerful card that can nullify all the Noble Phantasms and skills possessed by everyone.

Neither Gilgamesh's "Gate of Babylon" nor the scabbard "Avalon," which was slowly healing Kenshin and Saber, had any effect at this moment.

What terrified Saber and Kenshin even more was that their usually sharp "mind's eye" and "intuition" had begun to fail.

Now, let alone unleashing his Noble Phantasm, even the ability to fight successfully with such injuries has become a problem.

(Although I was also unable to cast new spells and traps during this period.)

(But if it's there, there's no problem.)

Of course, this comes at a cost; Jonouchi's own abilities will also become ineffective.

He can only fight by summoning monsters now.

But after glancing at the jet-black dragon, the people inside the city felt completely at ease.

【Red-Eyed Black Dragon】

That was his strongest trump card at the moment; nothing could give him more peace of mind.

"Come on, fight if you want!"

"Put the card on the duel disk," Jonouchi said in a deep voice.

"Aww!!"

A colossal, jet-black dragon suddenly enveloped the sky, far larger than the city had imagined.

"Huh?"

"Is the Red-Eyed Black Dragon really that big?"

Looking up at the black dragon, which was almost many times larger than before, the city dweller asked a question.

This shape is at least one-fifth the size of Fuyuki City.

If it weren't nighttime, the city would probably have been surrounded by onlookers and panicked long ago.

"It can even summon dragons?"

Saber struggled to his feet and squatted down, staring in astonishment at the enormous black dragon.

"Ha ho."

The sword sheath's effect was stopped, and he remained in a state of severe injury. Kenshin opened his eyes and looked helplessly at the black dragon that almost blocked out the sky.

These creatures, which exist only in folk tales, were summoned by the other party at will.

It's hard to imagine what a powerful magician Caster must have been "in life".

"Aaaaaah!! It's a dragon!!"

"Tsk"

"You're still underestimating him."

Waver was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his legs trembling, while Lelouch clutched his chest, suppressing the pain.

He truly hadn't anticipated Caster's formidable fighting prowess.

First, she almost "cleared the game" with that tiny familiar, then she could disable the Noble Phantasms and skills of Servants, and then she summoned a huge dragon.

This combat power is in no way inferior to the exceptional Berserker and Archer.

His little schemes now seem really insignificant.

For some reason, it reminded Lelouch of unpleasant experiences from the past. Every time he thought he had victory in his grasp, Suzaku would forcefully thwart his plans.

"Hmph, are you trying to humiliate me time and time again?"

"Berserker, let's end this battle for now."

Gilgamesh gazed at the black dragon in the sky, but felt nothing.

Having experienced many fantastical things in his life, he wouldn't be intimidated by a dragon.

"Click-clack."

The servant in black armor removed his helmet, revealing a mature face that also gazed at the black dragon high in the sky.

It would be very bad if such a dragon launched an attack.

Furthermore, because of Caster, even his "class change" ability is ineffective.

The class I'm using now is "Saber," and I hold a golden greatsword in my hand, just right to deal with that black dragon.

"Within the castle"

His condition had improved slightly, and Sakura Kyoko lay on the ground looking at him.

"You can rest a little longer; we're both almost out of energy now."

Using "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" has exhausted the last bit of magic power Jonouchi has left, and Sakura Kyoko also needs magic power to recover, so this is actually a last resort.

After glancing at the [Skill Drain] activated on the far right of the Duel Disk, Jonouchi felt a little relieved.

If we can seal the Noble Phantasms and skills of these opponents, they will lose most of their fighting power.

"Ha ho."

"Assassin, can you still move?"

Saber looked at Kenshin, who was still lying on the ground, and asked.

"He can barely move, thanks to his previous recovery."

If it weren't for the power of the scabbard, how could he have been so "easy"?

"As expected, my sword sheath is with you."

Saber realized that her approach to Kenshin just now was not a coincidence.

Instead, her "intuition" sensed the presence of the scabbard, which led her to approach it.

Now that it's been confirmed, Saber roughly understands the reason.

The only chance Assassin could obtain the scabbard was probably during the period when Irisviel was captured.

Kiritsugu gave his sword sheath to his wife to save her life, but he never expected to be attacked like that.

It seems she misunderstood that man before.

The fact that he gave such a crucial "life-saving" gift to Irisviel instead of himself proves that he truly cares about her.

"Now, it's probably difficult for you, me, or Rider to act as usual."

"Berserker and Archer seem capable of fighting the black dragon, but given Caster's magic and their injuries, they probably won't last long without being able to use their Noble Phantasms."

Seeing the two already engaged in battle with the black dragon, Saber slowly spoke.

"What are you trying to say?"

Having asked the crucial question, Kenshin took a breath and said.

"I have a way to annihilate the Black Dragon in one fell swoop."

"But Caster's magic is complicated."

"Could you please try a little harder?"

"Only with your lightning speed could you possibly destroy the magic machine Caster used before he could react."

"You really know how to make things difficult for people, Saber."

"But it seems there is no other choice."
