"Just a bunch of mongrels." Several Divine Generals lay around Goldie, nailed firmly to the ground by Noble Phantasms. From start to finish, Goldie hadn't moved even once; just the Noble Phantasms floating in the air had wiped out Seimei's proud Divine Generals.
It wasn't just Goldie; the other Servants had also dealt with the Divine Generals in front of them respectively. Overall, compared to Touda earlier, the strength of these Divine Generals was pitifully weak.
They were even much weaker than when they fought KING previously. Their frontal combat ability might be even worse than Assassin, who had nearly a hundred clones.
"These guys were sent by CASTER to stall for time. Otherwise, with the blood of so many people as a sacrifice, they couldn't possibly be only this strong. What exactly is CASTER doing..." The Conqueror King analyzed.
The one responsible for intelligence among the group turned out to be the hearty uncle who looked like he had no schemes. How to say this... it felt indescribably weird.
"RIDER, you are too cautious. No matter what the opponent is doing, there is no need to worry. Just a little mouse hiding in the dark. As long as this king wills it, I can easily erase him alone." Goldie maintained his arrogant, domineering, and cool "Long Aotian" image.
"Archer, you mean you can handle it alone?" Artoria expressed her dissatisfaction, looking at Goldie provocatively.
"Of course. But why should this king take action?" Goldie paused here, looking at Artoria with eyes full of lewd and invasive intent.
"If you..." Obscene words poured out of Goldie's mouth one after another.
"Archer, are you testing my patience?" Artoria was furious. If she didn't still have some self-control, she would have already drawn her sword and slashed at Gilgamesh.
"Alright... stop arguing. The opponent is here." The Conqueror King didn't pay much attention to their argument; his gaze was fixed on the yet-to-appear CASTER.
As soon as the Conqueror King finished speaking, a white figure gradually became clear in everyone's sight.
"CASTER, you finally showed up. What is the purpose of everything you've done?" Artoria's anger turned towards Seimei, who had just appeared.
But the Conqueror King didn't relax because of Seimei's appearance; instead, his brows furrowed even tighter.
He didn't choose to sneak attack from the dark but appeared so openly... What is this situation? Something feels wrong.
Seimei looked at everyone and gave a bitter smile. "Sorry, I can't say."
"Can't say?" The Conqueror King seemed to grasp something. Could it be...
"Is it your MASTER? Command Spell?" He asked tentatively.
However, he didn't get Seimei's confirmation, but from Seimei's expression, he could tell his judgment wasn't wrong.
CASTER's MASTER has been a mystery until now. What exactly does this guy want to do? Such insane methods... and now sending his own Servant to die?
Can't figure it out, not a clue.
He wasn't the type good at thinking. If only his strategist and tactician were here. The Conqueror King looked helplessly at the remaining Servants around him.
An arrogant, domineering chuunibyou (Goldie), a Lancer who fights well but doesn't seem good at thinking either (Diarmuid), and a little girl living in her own world (Artoria). Expect them to figure out CASTER's MASTER's methods? The Conqueror King suddenly felt doubled pressure.
Whatever. Since I can't figure it out, I'll just crush my way through.
"Although I can't say the key words, I can still give you a warning. Be careful of that one of mine... This guy is definitely doing something very dangerous. He is summoning..."
Everyone listened quietly to Seimei's words, but before he could finish, a faint red light emitted from Seimei's body.
Seimei's face suddenly changed drastically, and he launched an attack at everyone. Moreover, his targets weren't the Heroic Spirits present, but Waver and Irisviel standing beside them.
That was the forced effect of a Command Spell.
"CASTER's MASTER!" This triggered public outrage.
Artoria and the Conqueror King immediately appeared in front of their respective Masters, wielding their Noble Phantasms to block the sudden attack.
Diarmuid charged towards Seimei without a word.
Only Goldie stood with his arms crossed, watching coldly, as if none of this concerned him.
However, before Diarmuid could touch Seimei, strange symbols suddenly appeared in circles in the air, forming a dome in front of him and trapping him inside.
Seimei's Great Onmyoudou!
"Damn it!" Not knowing what method Seimei used, Diarmuid couldn't break free for a moment.
Even using the usually invincible Gae Dearg was the same.
However, Diarmuid couldn't break free, but that didn't mean Seimei could attack Diarmuid inside either.
The opponent's goal was merely to stall them.
Then Seimei immediately threw talismans covered in runes at the Conqueror King and Artoria.
The talismans landed in front of the Conqueror King and Artoria, forming an invisible wall.
"This is..." Artoria's holy sword couldn't cut through it for a moment.
"Stalling for time?" The Conqueror King stared coldly at Seimei not far ahead and at Goldie, who hadn't been attacked at all. "Hero King, are you in cahoots with them?"
The Conqueror King unconsciously emphasized his tone as he spoke.
"Regrettably, Conqueror King, although I don't know why, I haven't joined forces with them. Not just me, but neither has Tokiomi." Goldie's tone contained indescribable calmness and a hint of excitement.
Could it be that my identity as the Hero King Gilgamesh made the opponent submit? Hmm, if that's the case, I'll spare his life in the end.
"Damn it, Tokiomi that guy! Do you want to die? How dare you order me!" However, just as Goldie was about to open his mouth to show off, he suddenly cursed at the air.
Yet he had to execute the command issued via Command Spell. Enraged, Goldie vowed to make Tokiomi die without a burial place. He had to accelerate his own plan.
Instantly, Goldie turned into spirit form and vanished before everyone's astonished eyes.
The Hero King actually fled?!
At this moment, deep underground within the barrier, Zouken Matou, leaning on his cane, revealed a strange smile.
