41 Witch!

Chapter 41 41. Witch!

"Tsk, I, the king, have actually been forced into this situation!"

After dodging the dragon's claw, Gilgamesh's expression was truly appalling.

If he could use the weapons in the treasure vault, he could take down mere dragons in no time.

It is truly beneath the king's dignity to be chased like a mouse by a cat now.

But now it seems he really has no other options.

Forget about getting the treasure from the "door," the only thing that can be used right now is this golden armor.

Unlike Berserker, he doesn't carry weapons with him.

It is only taken out of the "door" when needed.

But who would have thought that his "door" would be sealed off? This is truly the most ridiculous thing ever.

Gilgamesh never "received" such treatment throughout his life.

He vowed that next time he would definitely prepare something special to prevent this from happening again!

"Bang!!"

The golden greatsword shattered the fireball spewed by the black dragon, and Berserker glanced down at Jonouchi, now with a clear target in mind.

With skills and Noble Phantasms locked, it's difficult to defeat this black dragon, so it's better to attack directly instead.

"Whoosh!"

But just as he was about to rush forward, the black dragon flapped its wings and blocked his way, preventing him from getting close.

This is very bad.

If this black dragon really wanted to stop "Blank," it seemed like there wouldn't be any problem.

The guy next to me, always flashy and chattering, is useless.

The situation seems very unfavorable.

"Hey, Red-Eyes isn't so easy for you guys to take down."

Unlike ordinary monsters that are easily defeated, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon is his trump card.

Although I don't know why it's so huge, it has been a great help.

"ha!!"

A loud shout rang in their ears, instantly drawing the attention of the city.

He immediately spotted Saber stumbling and running towards him.

"Oh dear, that won't do."

Knowing the target's objective, Jonouchi wouldn't be careless. Fortunately, Saber's movements were slow due to her injury, giving him ample time to react.

A jet-black dragon tail blocked the only way, forming a sheer cliff that separated the two paths.

"Hmm!"

Looking up at the height, Saber was quite troubled. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem at all, but with an injury and the need to conserve energy, it became a big problem.

The original intention was to draw attention to Assassin, but it seems that only half of the plan was successful.

"That's enough."

But the words Assassin conveyed surprised her.

Kenshin ran up from behind, then leaped up and, in mid-air, stepped onto her shoulder to perform a second jump.

However, perhaps due to his injuries, Kenshin was unable to maintain his balance and posture in the air, and even his forward jump lacked power, making it impossible for him to completely clear the dragon's tail and approach Caster.

"!"

They also saw Assassin's figure almost crossing the dragon's tail. Jonouchi wasn't worried at first, since it was still a long way from getting close with that span, and he could have the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" sweep it away at any time.

"Whoosh!"

But who would have thought that Assassin would change the way he held the sword and then throw the divine sword over?

"Oh no!"

Although there was some reaction, Jonouchi's physical condition simply did not allow him to completely dodge in time.

"Snap!"

The rightmost area was cut open, turning the original five areas into four.

The area containing the [Skill Extraction] skill was cleaved off by the divine sword and fell to the ground.

At that very moment, the several Servants present all felt that the troublesome "lockdown" had been lifted.

"Saber!"

"what!"

"We've been waiting for so long!"

Familiar golden specks began to emerge from around the holy sword, a glow mixed with "hope".

The surging magical power was noticed by Gilgamesh and Berserker in the high-rise building above.

"Ex—calibur!!"

The golden greatsword slashed down at the black dragon high in the sky, and the burst of light engulfed it.

"Bang!!"

The powerful impact created a cross-shaped "firework" in the sky, which was exceptionally dazzling.

"So red-eyed!!"

Jonouchi raised his arms, enduring the lingering effects of the attack, and shouted loudly.

"Rider, are you alright?"

"It's okay, saying that is a bit like... fooling yourself."

Waver helped Lelouch up, who was covered in blood, and the latter let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"Get out of here first, Weber. In this state, it's very difficult for me to protect you."

The intermittent sounds indicated that Lelouch had entered a period of weakness.

"I know!"

Nodding, Weber didn't dwell on what had happened before and instead helped him walk towards the back.

"Wow, that's really impressive, that's quite a radiance."

"You said so, right?"

When everything calmed down, Gilgamesh savored the beautiful "fireworks" and then turned to Berserker beside him.

"."

Without saying a word, Berserker simply gazed at Saber below, feeling a sense of nostalgia.

He once radiated the same brilliance as the other.

"Hmph, now we can finally clean up the mess."

"If we want to settle things with you, we'll have to deal with these scoundrels first."

"Otherwise, the constant interference is truly unpleasant."

Upon reopening the treasure vault, countless swords and blades emerged, aimed at the area below. Gilgamesh was furious, recalling his previous predicament.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Sakura!"

Sakura Kyoko struggled to her feet and gasped for breath, while Jonouchi looked at her with concern.

"You don't have any cards left to use, do you?"

"Now it's my turn to protect you."

"But you also..."

Seeing her stubborn posture, Jonouchi wanted to say something, but she interrupted him.

"Hehe, don't worry, I still have an ace up my sleeve."

Kyoko Sakura responded with a reassuring smile.

(I never expected to rely on this. It's incredibly stupid. What were they thinking?)

But in her heart, she was not as composed as she appeared on the surface.

Witchification.

That might be the only way to break the deadlock now.

It's still unknown what its exact effectiveness will be, but if it can be used to protect "friends," then...

Regardless of the cost and consequences.

She will choose to use them.

(Damn God, you are wicked)

Perhaps I have truly fallen into an abyss, and that participating in the so-called "Dragon Ball War" was a mistake from the start.

Surprisingly, she did not regret it at this moment.

at least

She made new friends here.

"Within the castle"

"Um?"

"Although we've only known each other for a short time, I'm really happy."

"what?"

"So...we're friends, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all entrusting our lives to each other, of course!"

"Ha ha."

(I'm sorry, Sayaka, maybe I really can't save you.)

(But now I can save another friend.)

"It's so good to have met you, Jonouchi."

Upon hearing Sakura Kyoko's sighing words, an eerie atmosphere suddenly arose in the surroundings.

A sudden chill swept over everyone.

The streets changed, and the world changed.

An unfamiliar scene came into view.

Waver, who was about to leave with Lelouch, suddenly opened his eyes wide in fear.

"A Reality Marble?!"

That day.

The "witch" was born in Fuyuki City.

PS: Let me explain.

Kenshin and Saber's plan itself depends on their ability to act.

Saber wasn't as fast as Kenshin, so Kenshin had to break the deadlock. However, Kenshin couldn't hold out for long, which is why he didn't kill Jonouchi. It was difficult for him to even run over, let alone be confident of killing her in one hit. And the opportunity was only once. If they didn't break the skill extraction, they would all be killed by the Red-Eyes. So they had no choice but to find an opportunity to destroy the Duel Disk.
