, Section 56: "Commit suicide, Archer!"

Chapter 56. "Commit suicide, Archer!"

"Saber or Berserker..."

"Your choices are truly disgusting to me."

"Entrusting the Dragon Balls to this scoundrel...does he really think he can defeat me?"

Gilgamesh's anger was rising, and he was in a very bad mood.

It's more accurate to say that this was the greatest humiliation of his life.

As the oldest king, why is he not as well-regarded as the "false king"?

Saber was one thing, but now even Berserker is like that.

What exactly did this sneaky guy Rider do to earn their trust?

"..."

Berserker did not respond to the king's words, but simply calmed down the fussy Sakura.

It was obvious that his act of throwing the Dragon Ball to Rider had upset the girl, who was now sobbing in distress.

"Doesn't that just prove I'm superior to you?"

"Only those who are recognized can convince others."

"And you can't do that, Gilgamesh!"

With one hand waving, showing no fear, Lelouch faced his opponent directly.

"You bastard! You have no right to address me by my name!"

Enraged, Archer then raised the sword Ea in his hand low in the air.

"Clatter..."

"Looks like we made it in time."

However, the faint footsteps below caught everyone's attention.

"Tokiomi!"

Kariya Matou stared in astonishment at the figure, not understanding why the other party had appeared at this moment.

"Tokiomi, you wouldn't be foolish enough to stop me, would you?"

Gilgamesh naturally noticed Tokiomi Tohsaka, but for him, who had always belittled and disregarded Tokiomi, Tokiomi was already dispensable as a Master.

"No, I came here only to celebrate my king's victory..."

With an elegant demeanor, he spoke politely.

"Hmph, now that things have come to this, have you truly learned the difference between right and wrong in the face of death?"

Gilgamesh scoffed, failing to notice the double meaning in those words.

"Yes, I was blinded by falsehoods before and did not realize that I should truly serve the king."

"But things are different now..."

"I will swear allegiance!"

That righteous and eloquent statement left Gilgamesh and Kariya Matou somewhat bewildered.

"For the King's victory..."

"so…"

"Commit suicide, Archer!"

The breathtaking words that uttered caused Matou Kariya to gasp in astonishment.

"Do you know what you're saying? You mongrel..."

With a gloomy face and feeling the restraint of the Command Spell, Gilgamesh's tone was clearly filled with restlessness.

"Don't misunderstand, Gilgamesh."

"The king I serve... has always been only one."

"That is the King of Britain! His Majesty Lelouch!"

The second Command Seal remaining on the back of his hand was used again, and Tokiomi Tohsaka was just as determined.

"Commit suicide, Archer!"

"You bastard!!"

Ignoring the piercing stares of others, Gilgamesh's first instinct was to forcefully resist the commands imposed by the Command Spell.

Gilgamesh, who possesses extremely high magic resistance, is to some extent exempt from the mandatory constraints imposed by Command Seals.

Therefore, one or two Command Seals are not enough to restrain him.

At this moment, Gilgamesh understood where Rider's confidence came from.

The red light flashing in those eyes was clearly being manipulated.

"You are too focused on the king's glory, and have neglected the plight of your subjects."

"I don't even know when I was betrayed..."

"They're just reveling in their past glories..."

"You even regard your enemies as trash, not worth even a second glance."

Slow voices came from below as Lelouch analyzed Gilgamesh's psychology.

"You have the ability to see through the enemy's identity, but you disdain to use it on anyone other than the Berserker."

"If you put in even a little effort, no one but the Berserker can stop you in this war."

"No, perhaps Berserker will also have a difficult time because of their Master."

"To turn such a favorable situation into this..."

"Gilgamesh..."

"It's your arrogance!!"

Every word struck Gilgamesh's heart like a hammer blow.

Indeed, if he paid even a little attention, the unusual behavior of Tokiomi and Kotomine would have been immediately noticed.

Even Rider's hidden Noble Phantasm can be discovered immediately.

However, it was precisely because of his arrogant attitude and personality that he completely disregarded the Heroic Spirits other than Berserker.

Even his own Master was too lazy to contact him, thus giving Lelouch such an opportunity.

(Archer, you will die from your own arrogance sooner or later!)

Saber's words from not long ago lingered in Gilgamesh's mind, causing him to struggle and become enraged.

"Don't think you've already won!!"

"Just two... Command Seals!"

"You can't kill me at all!"

Resisting the constraints, Gilgamesh shouted disdainfully.

But then he saw an extremely outrageous scene.

"Command it with a command spell..."

"Commit suicide, Archer!"

"Command it with a command spell..."

"Commit suicide, Archer!"

"Command it with a command spell..."

"Commit suicide, Archer!"

.........

"If two Command Seals can't kill you..."

"Then let's use twelve more..."

As Lelouch spoke, Tokiomi Tohsaka also pulled up his sleeve, revealing the exaggerated red markings on his arm.

"That is..."

Kariya Matou's eyes widened in disbelief; the markings on his arm were undoubtedly Command Seals!

But how did the other party obtain such a massive number of Command Seals?

While gently comforting Matou Sakura, Berserker was well aware that he had witnessed Rider's past interactions with Kotomine Risei, and therefore understood the other party's plan. This was why he also believed that Rider could kill Archer.

As the overseer of the church, Kotomine Rise is a collector of Command Seals left over from past Holy Grail Wars.

Lelouch previously controlled Tokiomi so that Kotomine Ryo could prepare for the transfer of Command Seals.

King of Heroes?

Lelouch wouldn't underestimate his opponent; relying on Tokiomi's two Command Seals, it was indeed possible that he couldn't force the oldest king to his death.

Then all we need to do is increase the quantity!

2 + 12 ...

The binding force of 14 Command Seals is something no Servant can break free from.

It's fair to say that no one else anticipated such a scene.

"Command it with a command spell..."

"Commit suicide, Archer!"

"Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!! You lowly bastard!!"

The sword of discord was already raised, but it had already pierced his own heart.

Anger surged within Gilgamesh, but he was powerless to stop it.

This was indeed the greatest crisis Gilgamesh ever faced.

Two Command Spells alone would have been enough to give Gilgamesh a chance to fight back, but the subsequent twelve Command Spells truly crushed his struggle.

He glared angrily at the culprit below, whose slender figure came into view.

Moving his arms and striking his signature pose, Lelouch delivered his final line.

"In the name of Lelouch vi Britannia, I issue this order..."

"Take your own life!"

"Gilgamesh!!"
