"I see... so you want to date me?"
Artoria, slow to catch on, looked at Ayato with complicated eyes.
Saying something like that in front of another woman...
Was hard to judge.
Ayato blinked, with an expression that said, "You finally understand."
Saber, or something like that, he was determined to have.
He had already figured it out!
If Heroic Spirits couldn't be converted into Devils, he would find another way.
Anyway, once he set his sights on something, there was no escape.
Feeling Ayato's gaze, Artoria sighed. "I'm afraid I must refuse."
"I have no intention of dating."
"Don't worry, I'll make you change your mind."
Rumble!
Just then, thunder and lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. Terrifying lightning bolts raged as a chariot descended from the sky.
"Haha, this is quite lively!"
On the chariot, a red-haired man spread his arms and laughed heartily. "I am the King of Conquerors, Iskandar, Rider in this war!"
"What are you saying? How can you just reveal your true name like that?"
Waver was utterly frantic. "Now our intelligence advantage is completely gone."
"Haha, don't worry about it."
Iskandar laughed. "With so many heroes present, how can I be timid?"
"If I want something, I naturally take it openly and honestly. That is my creed as the King of Conquerors."
"Well said."
Ayato nodded in agreement. "Since you're so articulate, I'll forgive you for interrupting my conversation with Artoria."
"Haha, you are truly someone who follows their desires."
Iskandar said cheerfully. "We should have a drink together sometime."
"You're not a beautiful girl. You've got some nerve."
Ayato shook his head, then suddenly spoke. "Alright, I'm getting annoyed. Shouldn't the other rats hiding in the shadows come out now?"
As his voice echoed, Kiritsugu remained expressionless, still as a statue.
But someone else couldn't resist jumping out.
Hum!
Amidst brilliant golden light, a Servant clad in armor materialized out of thin air, landing on a lamppost and looking down at everyone.
"Mere Devil, who permitted you to speak so arrogantly?"
Gilgamesh looked at Ayato, his gaze icy cold. "For those words alone, you are doomed to die here."
"Oh, Gilgamesh."
Ayato smiled, stroking his chin. "What a pity you're not the female version. I was really looking forward to that."
Everyone: "..."
'What nonsense was this?'
'How could this Devil relate everything to women?'
'Was his head filled with nothing but shit?'
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
Well, there was one exception.
"Devil, are you insulting me?"
Veins bulged on Gilgamesh's forehead as he said coldly, "I have decided. Not only will I kill you, I will have you torn to pieces."
As his voice echoed, golden light rippled behind him like the surface of water.
Weapons radiating astonishing auras slowly emerged, their terrifying killing intent enveloping Ayato's entire being.
"So many Noble Phantasms?"
Not just the Servants, everyone was stunned.
They were all constantly guessing Gilgamesh's true name.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the same time, amidst the golden light, countless Noble Phantasms, like a storm, rained down upon Ayato.
The air rippled outward, turning into a hurricane, stirring up a massive tide.
Even though these Noble Phantasms weren't unleashed, the power they radiated still gave an overwhelming feeling of terror, as if they could destroy everything.
In an instant, countless Noble Phantasms blotted out the sky, seemingly giving Ayato no chance to dodge, intending to blast him into nothing.
Seeing this, Medusa wanted to step forward.
No matter what, she didn't want anything to happen to Ayato.
But before she could move, Ayato pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, these Noble Phantasms are nothing."
Medusa's skin flushed pink as she couldn't help saying, "Now is not the time for that! Be serious!"
"I'm always serious."
"After all, I'm telling the truth."
Ayato smiled, one hand slightly raised.
Hum!
A light blue magic circle appeared in the sky.
Crackle!
A majestic pillar of lightning tore through the sky.
The countless Noble Phantasms froze in mid-air, then exploded violently.
Then, the pillar of lightning shot straight into the clouds. A terrifying wave rippled outward, and the white clouds in the sky shattered.
The entire night turned as bright as day.
This scene stunned everyone once again!
Everyone felt their very breathing stop.
