Chapter 184: Utopia of Eternal Isolation
In Shuoyue's opinion, Gilgamesh, who descended as an Archer, has three states.
The first is the playful state, which is characterized by mindlessly throwing away treasures. That is the performance of the arrogant hero king when dealing with bastards; the second is the serious state, that is, when facing a difficult guy, he chooses treasures in a targeted manner to restrain the enemy's weaknesses or expose the enemy's weaknesses. The "switching sword flow" mode once defeated Saber with a special three-weapon combination in the fifth Holy Grail War.
The third is the "invincible flash" state that truly transforms into a top-level hero. At that time, the hero king will take out his sword of separation and fight with all his strength. When the opponent is busy dealing with the weapon of the "King's Treasure", he will take the opportunity to complete the charging of the sword of separation and finally release the treasure "Star of the Opening of Heaven and Earth Separation".
At this moment, Gilgamesh, holding the Sword of Separation, has entered the third state, which is enough to be called the "big boss" in any Holy Grail War. Even the famous Knight King is completely at a disadvantage at this time and is about to face the terrifying blow of the EX-level Noble Phantasm.
To be honest, Saber suffered an unprovoked disaster-the reason why Gilgamesh did not take back the Sword of Separation after defeating Iskandar was to fight against the Moon with all his strength, and even prepared to fight one against three.
It is simply a foolish dream to want to fight against such a hero king with only a sword of sworn victory.
Even so, Saber's holy blue eyes remained unmoved. When Archer gathered the storm of creation, her holy sword also summoned pure starlight.
But...
"Too slow!" Gilgamesh gripped the sword of separation as if he was about to thrust it out, his short golden hair standing up like an angry lion, "It seems that you will not admit defeat unless I give you a decisive defeat, Saber!"
The sky roared and the earth shook.
When the sobbing wind dissipated, what appeared in front of Saber was the magical light that illuminated the universe.
"Look carefully-this is the 'Enuma Elish'!"
In the red storm symbolizing destruction, the starlight gathered on the sword of vowed victory was completely obscured, until the end, Saber did not have time to release her treasure before being swallowed by the light.

Woke up in the heavy darkness.
Emiya Kiritsugu only remembered that he pierced the woman's forehead with a bullet and fell into the diamond-shaped light curtain.
"-I curse you-" The disheveled female ghost fell into hell, and only the voice still echoed around Kiritsugu.
"Emiya Kiritsugu... I curse you... pain... regret until death... absolutely, I will never forgive you..."
"Okay."
Before the hateful mud approached, Emiya Kiritsugu had already turned around and abandoned the empty cup of disaster without any nostalgia.
"No need for grace, I will bear everything - but before you, there are still many sins waiting for me to pay, before that, please wait in line obediently.
In the flow of light and shadow, he returned to the original room, but the puppet lying on the ground had lost its shape and turned into a golden cup filled with black mud, which was firmly imprisoned by countless magic circles.
Beside the Holy Grail, his wife with silver hair and scarlet eyes smiled sweetly, and Hisahi Maiya quietly waited by his side, looking at Emiya Kiritsugu with some emotions in her eyes.
The long-lost sense of happiness immediately enveloped Emiya Kiritsugu. Under the slightly surprised eyes of the two women, he opened his arms, strode forward, and hugged his most cherished family tightly.
"I'm back, Aili, Maiya."
"Well, welcome back, Kiritsugu. "
In addition to the joy of reunion, Irisviel also saw the Holy Grail beside her disappear silently in the magic circle and was taken away by someone who had left long ago.
However, once the small Holy Grail is completely formed, it means that another servant has sacrificed its soul——
"Don't lose, Saber." Irisviel prayed silently in her heart.
"Because——I have already returned that thing to you."
————
The light lit up in the darkness.
In front of the fault caused by the star of the creation of the separation of heaven and earth, the blue-gold scabbard unfolded.
"What——! ? "
What was released and opened before Gilgamesh's eyes was the unique sheath of the holy sword.
It was made of something unknown, but the sheath bounced off all the light from Ea.
No, this was no longer a defense.
That was blocking.
The wall of the fairy town that prevented the filth from the outside world from entering, isolated this world, a world that could not be reached.
Saber, protected by the sheath of the holy sword, was isolated from all the laws of this world for only that moment.
The strongest protection in this world.
One of the ultimate that cannot be reached by even the five great magics, and cannot be violated by anyone .
Therefore, the sheath is named "Avalon"
The legend says that King Arthur arrived after his death, the utopia that the king dreamed of but could not reach -
It was the holy relic that summoned King Arthur, the embodiment of the knight's oath to protect the princess, and last night, the princess returned it to her knight.
It is inevitable.
Gilgamesh saw the sword of victory filled with starlight behind the barrier of the utopia. In order to seize the opportunity to win, Saber even removed the armor that protected her and let the magic flow into the sword in her hand.
And he was holding the irreversible sword of God, and his body was unable to move due to excessive output of magic power.
"You actually... use this trick, Saber!"
Amid the sigh of the King of Heroes, the petite knight king in blue finally recited the treasure that brought the end.
"Ex-calibur!!"
The rushing golden light led the king of the same color to the final end.
————
When the light of the holy sword dissipated, the two figures still stood in the same place.
No——Only the blue-clad knight king stood tall, and the reason why the other did not fall was that the king's last spirit was holding on.
"My legs are no longer functional, my soul core is on the verge of breaking, my magic power is running low, and even my vision is gradually blurring..." The Hero King, with his armor broken, turned his back to the Knight King, and his voice was still full of arrogance, "So, are you here to laugh at my defeat, cook?"
"No, I'm just a warrior preparing to enter the arena." The white-haired young man walked down the steps, raised his golden eyes, and looked at Gilgamesh, "Of course, I also want to help a loser and prevent him from leaving the arena with regret."
"I don't need your pity, I am convinced of this defeat-"
"Hero King, do you have enough magic power reserves?" Shuoyue interrupted Archer's speech and said calmly, "Enough to release Enuma Elish at me again."
"...Oh?" Archer narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, an unbridled smile bloomed.
"As expected of a chef, you control the heat just right - then give it to me, Shuoyue!"
The devastating red storm rose up again, raging for a long time before slowly dissipating.
The moonlight was in the middle of the sky, and the silver light was leaking to the ground.
On the devastated Liudong Temple, only two figures were left.
