Chapter 131: The Sword of End
"Trying to run?"
"Too late!"
Gilgamesh threw the spear in his hand.
In an instant, everyone felt their vision blur, and the spearhead of the blood-red spear bloomed like a flower, yet also flickered and moved like lightning in the air, difficult to catch.
"Puff!"
"Ah!"
"Puff puff puff!"
"Damn it..."
The Ogres' reactions were indeed very fast.
Some chose to retreat, and some intended to take a hit to trade blows with Gilgamesh.
However, whether they retreated or advanced, all the Ogres felt a sharp pain in their chests.
"My heart, was it pierced?"
Unavoidable, certain to pierce the heart, and bestowing a curse, the demonic spear unique to Celtic mythology, Gáe Bolg.
This was the power of the demonic spear, Brionac, the prototype of Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm.
In almost an instant, it pierced the hearts of more than ten Ogres, taking their lives.
Of course, the demonic spear of mythology wasn't effective everywhere.
Countless blood-red beams of light struck Ice Empress's massive body, but they simply couldn't penetrate.
Her terrifying defensive power had already surpassed the destructive range of the demonic spear.
"Tsk!"
Gilgamesh hadn't expected Ice Empress's armor to be so sturdy, which made him abandon his plan to continue attacking with Brionac.
"Phew~"
"That was dangerous!"
Shion looked at the large hole in her chest.
If it were anyone else, such a severe injury would definitely be beyond saving.
But, the Ogre race was different.
They possessed incredibly terrifying regenerative abilities.
Especially the Purple Corps, who were derived from Shion's power, were among the best of them.
Even if their heads were severed, as long as they were reattached in time, the Ogres of the Purple Corps would not die, let alone a mere heart wound.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
"A mere fatal injury won't take my life!"
Gilgamesh watched as only about ten Ogres died, then immediately regrouped and charged towards him.
He knew it wasn't the time to hold back: "Then let me see if you can block this Sword of End of mine!"

On the other side, Rin continued to monitor the Noble Phantasm's analysis progress.
"The higher the level of the Noble Phantasm used, and the greater the quantity, the faster the analysis speed."
Realizing this, Rin no longer held back, directly ordering all Ogres to attack together, giving Gilgamesh no chance to breathe.
"Buzz!!"
It was also at this moment that an incredibly dazzling golden light caught Rin's attention: "What is that?"
Golden light bloomed from behind Gilgamesh.
Facing the encirclement of so many Ogres, comparable to A-rank Heroic Spirits, Gilgamesh's expression was extremely grim.
"To make this King jump around like a monkey!"
"Be drowned, by this King, in this world-ending flood!"
From within the golden ripples, Gilgamesh took out two strange golden greatswords, which connected to form a longbow.
"Sword of End Enki"
"Behold!
The inferno of destruction fills the heavens!
Come forth!
The Surge of Utnapishtim!
This is what it means to destroy the World!
Heroic Spirits, suffer the curse that the insolence of challenging the King of Heroes has brought upon you!"
The arrow shot out, not quickly, and the Ogres could easily avoid it without even dodging.

But soon, an indescribably vast pressure enveloped everyone from above.
"This level of Noble Phantasm..."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious?"
Rin's gaze pierced through the night sky, seeing the universe beyond the horizon.
He saw several mountain-like arrows converging above Earth's orbit.
"Ogerpon!"
"Ah."
Rin wasn't that foolish, he couldn't possibly stay put when Gilgamesh was going all out: "Let's change positions, it seems unsafe here."
"Ogerpon, lead the way!"
So, Ogerpon shattered space with a punch and bounced in, leading the way.
Rin and Snow Empress followed closely, disappearing into Gilgamesh's attack range in the blink of an eye.
"This guy!"
Gilgamesh gritted his teeth in anger upon seeing Rin's reaction.
Yet, he truly had no way to deal with the other party.
"Hmph!"
"Once I eliminate these pawns of yours, I'll deal with you!"
Thus, as Gilgamesh immersed his mind.
The next moment, a red transparent circuit slowly appeared above everyone's heads, with faint light flowing.
"What is that?"
"This ominous magic?"
For a moment, the residents of Fuyuki City, no matter what they were doing, all looked up in unison.
They saw that starting from Ryuudou Temple on Mount Enzou, the entire sky of Fuyuki City was covered by this web-like red crystal.
This eerie scene terrified countless people, making them collapse to the ground, believing the end of the world was about to arrive.
"Not good!"
Ice Empress felt a fatal threat, she immediately intended to retreat.
However, at some unknown point, numerous golden ripples appeared around her.
Chains of Heaven shot out from them, binding Ice Empress layer upon layer, making it impossible for her to break free for a moment.
"What is this thing again?"
Ice Empress tried to tear the Chains of Heaven with brute force, but found that the power within her body was suppressed to the extreme.
"Damn it!"
"Can't break free!"
Power, magical energy, and other means all lost control under the seal of these strange Chains of Heaven.
"Noble Phantasm: Chains of Heaven"
A Noble Phantasm specifically used against gods, and Gilgamesh's most trusted Noble Phantasm.
The more divinity an individual bound by Chains of Heaven possesses, the more terrifying the restraint they experience.
As early as when Rin fought Iskandar, Gilgamesh had discovered this.
That is, the Ogres and beasts under Rin's command possessed extremely rich divinity within them.
In other words, these Chains of Heaven were precisely their natural enemies.
Once bound by them, it was absolutely impossible to break free.
[Parsing: 70%]
The appearance of the Chains of Heaven instantly caused Rin's analysis to surge by a significant margin, getting closer to completion.
"That idiot, Ice Empress."
Snow Empress stood in front of Rin.
They were currently outside Mount Enzou, a magical array prepared by Shuna for Rin.
However, looking at Ice Empress, who had been getting beaten since her appearance, even Snow Empress couldn't help but sigh, holding her forehead.
"Well."
Rin didn't care.
Anyway, after this battle, everyone's projections would be useless.
Rather than wasting them, it was better to let them have a good time.
Additionally.
The reason Rin wasn't in a hurry at all.
Was because every time Gilgamesh eliminated a Servant, the remaining magical energy within them would return to Rin's body.
As long as the magical energy remained, Rin would stand undefeated.
And Gilgamesh, unaware of the key, was just making futile efforts.
(To be continued.)
Chapter 132: All Out
"Stop him!"
"Quick!"
"Don't let him fully activate this Noble Phantasm!"
Under Shion's leadership, a portion of the Ogres continued to charge, attempting to interrupt Gilgamesh's release of the Noble Phantasm.
Their speed was very fast.
Some even intended to use their own bodies to block the release of this terrifying Noble Phantasm.
"Be annihilated by this arrow, monster!!"
Gilgamesh wouldn't give them a chance, immediately shouting out loud.
Thus, space was sealed, and the entire world became still at this moment.
Shion's pupils constricted.
The movements of the Ogres who attacked with her froze in this grayish-white world.
"Oh no!"
Ice Empress didn't know what divinity was.
But the current situation was completely beyond her expectations.
Helpless, Ice Empress could only fully activate her magical energy to strengthen her defenses, hoping to forcibly resist the upcoming attack.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the blood-red crystal shattered.
Along with it, the entire night sky also shattered.
Almost instantly, a scene like the world-ending great flood from myths and legends filled the eyes of every Ogre.
This was not merely simple tidal waves, but rather a fundamental destruction and collapse of all things.
The Ogres had no time to react before their bodies were erased by Gilgamesh's arrow.
Having lost their manifested forms, the Ogres' true bodies all opened their eyes.
"This is too exaggerated."
"The entire Mount Enzou has been erased!"
In the projection above everyone's heads, Mount Enzou, which had originally stood in a corner of Fuyuki City, had now completely disappeared.
Undoubtedly, the power Gilgamesh displayed at this moment was somewhat excessive for a Heroic Spirit.
"How many people are left?"
"All of the Shadow Squad are still here, but they need to deal with Assassin and can't return for now."
"What about the others?"
"A few of the Purple Corps are left, but their bodies are incomplete and need time to recover."
"But nothing happened to the other clans, everyone is still alive."
Inside the Ogre village, the awakened Ogres immediately came to the plaza to watch the scene in the projection.
"Is Shion still there?"
"I died."
Shion walked out from the crowd.
Although very unwilling, she could accept such an outcome.
"I didn't expect that guy to have such a powerful Noble Phantasm."
"I underestimated him a bit."
Shion didn't care about winning or losing, after all, it wasn't her true body present.
Being defeated by an enemy under restricted circumstances was an act of force majeure, something that couldn't be helped.
"Now, we can only rely on Snow Empress and Ogerpon."
Gilgamesh's wave of damage truly hit its mark.
At least Ice Empress, along with Purple Corps and Shion, received the full brunt of the damage.
"Where did that guy run off to?"
Taking out a Noble Phantasm used for locating, Gilgamesh quickly found Rin and their traces.
"Is he over there?"
However, looking at the remaining Ogres.
Although each was wounded, their injuries were not fatal because they didn't charge as close as the Purple Corps.
Counting the numbers, Gilgamesh's big move resulted in about a third of the Ogres being lost.
There were definitely losses.
But to say how great the losses were, that's not necessarily true.
The power that could truly deliver a decisive blow, Rin still retained.
Even if they continued to consume, Rin had so much returning magical energy that he could completely restore the injured Ogres to their peak state immediately.
Moreover,
[Parsing: 95%]
"The Sword of the End increased my analysis directly by 25%."
Rin didn't know how to describe this Noble Phantasm of Gilgamesh.
If it were to be evaluated, this was absolutely another Anti-World Noble Phantasm comparable to Gilgamesh's EA.
"However, can even the old Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm be pulled out?"
It was one thing to be able to freely unleash Noble Phantasms from the Gate of Babylon, but to even bring out a new Anti-World Noble Phantasm.
If Rin remembered correctly.
This Noble Phantasm should have been a discarded setting of the old Gilgamesh, right?
"The blessing of the Command Spell is completely unreasonable."
Rin thought so, but he didn't care about the Ogres annihilated by the World-Ending Torrent.
It was Ice Empress who was somewhat miserable.
Having just barely withstood the attacks of the Nine Lives, before she could even rest for a moment, she was met with a combo of Five-Star Bombardment, Chains of Heaven, and the World-Ending Torrent of the Sword of the End.
It must be said that her HP was truly thick.
"Hmph, still alive?"
Gilgamesh floated high in the sky, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Ice Empress became much clearer.
To directly take a hit from Enki and only be injured, not killed.
This defensive power was the greatest Gilgamesh had ever seen.
One must know that even a god would be severely wounded when facing a direct attack from Enki.
"Bang!"
The mountain-like ice body shattered, and a petite figure fell from the sky, returning to Rin's side.
Because Enki shattered the ice scorpion's carapace, the Chains of Heaven fell off, which indirectly freed Ice Empress, allowing her to regain her power.
Ice Empress exhaled cold air, her face grim: "That guy, damn it, I knew I shouldn't have transformed so big."
The girl was very regretful.
She originally wanted to revert to her true form to strengthen her attack power.
But who would have thought that Gilgamesh would be so underhanded, unleashing his ultimate move directly in front of her.
"Your magical energy consumption is very severe, Ice Empress."
"I know."
Ice Empress didn't force herself, consciously standing behind Snow Empress: "Next, I'll protect master, you and Ogerpon go deal with him."
"You must teach that guy a good lesson for me!"
In terms of strength, if Ice Empress fought more steadily, even if she couldn't defeat Gilgamesh, she would never be so disheveled.
It can only be said that Ice Empress was truly reckless.
She almost squandered herself away.
"How much more analysis is needed?"
Snow Empress asked Rin, who calmly replied: "It's just the last Noble Phantasm. If we can force out EA, then Gilgamesh will be useless to us."
"Understood."
Receiving Rin's affirmative reply, Snow Empress no longer suppressed her power.
Not only her own magical energy, but also the part that flowed back from the Ogres.
With the two combined, Snow Empress finally reached her peak state.
"Rumble!!!"
Thus, magical energy surged from Snow Empress's body, instantly transforming the entire ruin into a world of ice and snow.
Everything was desolate, and the sky and earth seemed to be covered by a grayish-white curtain.
Snow Empress's Three Ultimates.
