: The Sword of Divergence was blocked three times in a row!

Chapter 55. The Sword of Divergence was blocked three times in a row!

The Star of Heaven and Earth's Disorder (EnumaElish)!

Without any pause, Gilgamesh launched a second attack.

Once that shock, powerful enough to easily wipe an entire city off the face of the earth, lands, everything will vanish into nothingness.

"Can you still block it?!"

With a cold laugh, Gilgamesh looked down, but in his vision, Berserker, standing on the ground, remained as calm as before.

He simply swung his greatsword calmly toward the sky, his entire body radiating a white light.

That day.

Everyone saw a huge rift cut open in the sky, like a crack, and suddenly a waterfall of black liquid flowed out of the crack, covering the entire city.

The liquid material formed a semi-circular barrier that enveloped the entire city of Fuyuki, and at the same time, the impact of the Ea sword struck.

"Bang!!!"

The shockwave was so intense that people in the city felt unsteady on their feet and fell to the ground one after another.

They were terrified and had no idea what was happening.

"That's amazing!"

After a long while, the commotion subsided, and Weber stared blankly at the peaceful city, swallowing hard.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to describe his feelings.

It's one thing that Archer could repeatedly use Noble Phantasms of that scale.

Berserker managed to defend against them all!

And more than once.

They successfully defended against it twice in a row! The second time, they even protected the entire city of Fuyuki.

The power unleashed by Gilgamesh's fully liberated Ea sword posed no threat to the city whatsoever.

"twice."

"But it's almost at its limit."

Upon hearing Lelouch's words from the front, Waver quickly stood up and understood their meaning.

Archer was able to unleash such Noble Phantasms in succession because his magical power was continuously replenished from his spiritual veins.

It's like having a "power bank" on your person.

Berserker is different; with a Master who is only 6 years old, the help that the two sides can provide is not on the same level.

"Damn it! I have to catch up!"

.........

"You used something strange on me again to reduce the power of the Sword of Divergence."

"And just now... was that barrier-like shield a Noble Phantasm unleashed?"

"Impressive power. You've once again blocked my second, full-force attack."

Standing in the sky, looking down at the ground, Gilgamesh's lips curled into a smile.

He had truly learned something new: a Heroic Spirit capable of withstanding and blocking the full power of the Ea sword.

Especially since the other party succeeded more than once.

"That expression... it's a provocation against me."

"An expression that always gets blocked, no matter how many times."

"Interesting. Let's see how many times your magic can last!"

Gilgamesh raised the sword Ea once more and sneered.

"You'll regret letting that bastard girl become your Master."

"This one blow will destroy you!"

With this third release of the Ea sword, Gilgamesh was confident of securing a decisive victory.

When Kirei Kotomine offered up the "spiritual vein," he knew it would come in handy.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no Master could possibly support such output from him.

Three consecutive full-power Ea sword strikes.

The required magical power is so vast that almost no Master can provide it.

"Your connection with me will also come to an end here."

"Just like the two previous matches that ended inconclusively."

"But the third time will be the last time!"

……

"Berserker!"

Feeling the other person's gentle gaze, Matou Sakura called out.

We won't lose!

Berserker will definitely not lose!

Thinking this, she unconsciously used the power of the "Command Spell".

"We must win!!"

That was her prayerful cry, and with each Command Seal she used, she used up three in one go.

"."

With a reassuring smile, Berserker looked up at the king whose movements were unusual in the sky.

"Hoo-ha!!"

"Wait for me, Rider!"

The shouts coming from his side alerted Berserker to the arrival of the crucial master-servant team.

He jumped onto the wall and then watched the two panting men on the road.

"Berserker?"

Weber looked up and exclaimed in astonishment.

Lelouch met his gaze without flinching.

(Has Berserker not run out of magic yet?!)

Having realized this, Lelouch was truly afraid to wait any longer.

Gilgamesh's "mad" offensive was truly terrifying.

The slightest mistake could reduce the entire city of Fuyuki to nothing, and his entire plan would be destroyed.

I will block his final attack.

The rest is up to you.

"Wait!"

But when the other person took out a drawing board to express their meaning, Lelouch was stunned.

(Does he know what I'm after?)

Still somewhat shaken, Lelouch calmed down and began to think.

That's right. When he learned that Kirei Kotomine had provided a spiritual vein to Archer, he had a general plan.

The original intention was to have Archer deplete Berserker's mana.

In terms of battery life, Archer undoubtedly has the upper hand.

As a Master, Matou Sakura is unlikely to be of much help to Berserker.

If played properly, Archer does have a chance to wear down Berserker.

Moreover, given Gilgamesh's personality, Lelouch anticipated that he would definitely confront him head-on, which would undoubtedly increase his chances of success.

However, once Berserker is eliminated, Gilgamesh has a way to kill him and thus achieve final victory.

Of course, this is on the premise that Archer won't come to kill him first, but given Archer's temperament, this is more likely to happen after Berserker is defeated.

With that in mind, Lelouch prepared to wait for a "bargain".

However, things didn't go as planned. He underestimated Archer's madness and strength, and also underestimated Berserker's abilities.

One launched an attack with unexpected ferocity, while the other remained as steady as a mountain, blocking all the attacks.

Even now, Lelouch can still feel the vibrant magic emanating from the other party.

Judging from his performance just now, Berserker seems to know what he's thinking.

"EnumaElish, the Star of Heaven and Earth's Departure!"

High in the sky, Gilgamesh's magnificent voice resounded once more.

"here we go again!!"

Fearful, Weber could only stare wide-eyed at the ever-changing scenery above.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind howled.

An impact powerful enough to warp the earth came crashing down.

But the hero in black armor went to meet him once again.

"Bang!!!"

Compared to the cataclysmic damage caused by Gilgamesh's chanting, the power unleashed after he used it was completely blocked by Berserker, posing no threat to Fuyuki City or anyone else.

The "EX" level Ea sword was blocked three times by the same person today!

"I, the king, will personally bury you, my savior!"

Sensing the opponent's gradually depleting magic power, Gilgamesh slightly lowered the volume of his voice.

But then he discovered that Berserker had made an unexpected move.

The other person picked up Sakura, and with a puzzled look on her face, took out the Dragon Balls he was holding and tossed them to Rider, who was not far away.

"What do you mean by that?!"

Unable to fathom Berserker's thoughts at all, Gilgamesh questioned him from his superior position.

But Berserker did not answer him; instead, he showed a look of pity, which instantly ignited Gilgamesh's anger.

On the other side...

"Clatter!"

Lelouch caught the Dragon Ball that Berserker threw with one hand, and then he understood what Berserker meant.

"I see, I couldn't hide it from you from the beginning."

"And are they even intentionally cooperating?"

"Indeed, in that case, I have no more doubts or suspicions."

Lelouch chuckled self-deprecatingly, not expecting that the part he was most worried about would be resolved so easily.

Let Archer force Berserker to retreat, and then he can defeat Archer and win.

This is Lelouch's plan.

The most difficult part is Berserker. If Archer can't defeat him, Lelouch will have to come up with a new plan.

However, the situation developed too quickly, almost causing him to lose the game. Archer's powerful Noble Phantasm release exceeded his calculations.

Fortunately, the Berserker blocked them all.

Moreover, it blocked three times, which consumed a lot of magic power, and even Sakura's Command Seals were used up.

Under these circumstances, Berserker handed over the Dragon Ball that Sakura was holding to himself.

In that instant, Lelouch understood.

Berserker was deliberately cooperating with his plan to dispel his suspicions and concerns.

Even the fact that Matou Sakura can use Command Seals is probably something she's taking into consideration.

A Master who loses the Dragon Balls and Command Seals is essentially out of the game.

Lelouch was naturally able to see through the other party's intentions.

"Oh"

A smile curved his lips, and his face was filled with that confident grin. Lelouch looked up at the king in the sky and declared.

"Then I will draw the curtain on everything!"
