The Magus's companion also discovered the Magus's miserable state and cried out in grief.
"Rorelei!"
Then, together with other Magus, they began to use large-scale Magecraft without hesitation, clearing the area.
Scenes like this began to appear frequently in the urban area of Fuyuki City. The hatred accumulated over generations between the Mage's Association and the Holy Church began to erupt continuously in this Fuyuki City, which was now isolated from the world.
Shirou Emiya, who was originally planning to go shopping with Kallian, gritted his teeth and looked at the mall, which had become a battlefield before him, clenching his fists tightly!
"Stop it!"
Shirou Emiya's angry roar did not stop these Magus who were clearing out ordinary people.
"Big Brother, do what you want!"
Shirou Emiya looked at Kallian, who was calm beside him, and then spoke to the air beside him.
"Lancer, please, stop them!"
As Shirou Emiya spoke, the Lion King, riding O'stalion, revealed itself. Then, with a wave of its spear, a huge storm appeared, blowing away the Magus who were ignoring Shirou Emiya.
"This is bad! It's a Servant! Retreat quickly."
Seeing the Servant appear, the Magus, who knew the strength of Servants in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, abandoned their companions who were still fighting fiercely in the mall and turned without hesitation to escape into a nearby alley.
Suddenly, the explosions in the mall stopped. The Executor, who was only left with underwear, seemed to have been hit by a truck. They crashed through the third-floor glass and fell in front of Shirou Emiya, covered in injuries.
The female Executor, covering her mouth, which was constantly spewing blood, struggled to get up from the ground. The Executor, who had gone mad with killing, glared at Kallian and Shirou Emiya before them with hatred, then raised a Black Key, about to strike Shirou Emiya.
"Heretic! Ugh!"
Kallian looked at Shirou Emiya, who was stunned beside her, and without hesitation, pulled him away, turning to leave the street. At the same time, she said to the Lion King.
"Lancer, I'll leave the rest to you!"
Kallian, pulling the dazed Shirou Emiya, arrived at a street not far from the mall.
"Big Brother, do you understand?"
Shirou Emiya recalled the scene just now, and childhood memories flashed through his mind. The struggling crowds, the raging fires, were so similar to what he was seeing now.
Then Shirou Emiya looked up at the thick smoke rising everywhere in the city, clenched his fists tightly, and nodded forcefully at Kallian.
"Kallian, thank you!"
At the Tohsaka Villa, Rin stood in the courtyard, looking at the distant urban area filled with smoke. Rin knew that the Magus under Rorelei had begun to search for Aiga's whereabouts. However, thinking of the innocent ordinary people, she hesitated and turned to ask Gilgamesh.
"Gil, was it wrong for me to act so recklessly?"
Gilgamesh lay lazily on a chair in the garden, holding a glass of red wine. He took a sip and looked at Rin with surprise.
"Rin, are you a savior? Or are you a partner of justice? Or are you so strong that you can dictate everything? For now, you should focus on how to defeat those mongrels!"
Rin knew that what Gilgamesh said was not wrong. She was neither a savior nor a person of justice, nor was she strong enough to dictate everything. However, looking at Fuyuki City, which had become a battlefield, her heart was filled with pity.
Gilgamesh seemed to have guessed Rin's thoughts. He stood up from the stool, slowly walked to Rin's side, and then opened a golden ripple, from which he summoned a golden cup full of fine wine and placed it in Rin's hand.
"Have a drink! Didn't you send your sister and disciple to seek a solution to this barrier with that witch? Trust them! Although I think you're just making an unnecessary effort."
"No! Gil, breaking the barrier is not as simple as just breaking it. We also need to keep Sajyo Ayaka and her Servant occupied!"
After speaking, Rin lowered her head, looked at the pale golden wine in the golden cup in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then raised the cup and drank it all.
After drinking the fine wine in the cup, Rin's face was slightly flushed with a hint of drunkenness. She casually threw the golden cup to the ground and said to Gilgamesh.
"Gil, I'm really annoyed right now! Let's go and find those idle Servants and kill them!"
Gilgamesh was stunned, then burst into laughter. He casually summoned Vimana and took Rin to the urban area.
"Hahahaha, that's the spirit!"
After speaking, Gilgamesh sat on the throne of Vimana, propping his cheek with one hand, and murmured.
"Very good, Rin. You are indeed a good friend who has fought alongside me against the gods. Come on! This time, let me accompany you in turning the world upside down!"
Rin turned her head to look at Gilgamesh sitting on the throne with a sense of realization. However, due to the strong wind, Rin couldn't hear Gilgamesh's murmurs clearly, so she could only look at Gilgamesh with confusion a few times.
The Lion King casually flicked aside the Magus's corpse that was stuck on its spear, then lowered its mask and looked up at the approaching golden dots in the sky. A surging fighting spirit erupted from its body.

Section 97 Chapter 93: Saint George's Sanctuary - Dragon's Breath, Golden Flash VS Lion King
Vimana slowly landed in front of the Lion King.
Rin looked at the Lion King before her and thought with some doubt, 'Is this person the Lion King, or Saber of Black?' However, feeling the surging fighting spirit from the opponent and the purpose of her journey, she knew that she had to fight no matter what.
Rin and Gilgamesh descended from Vimana, and then Vimana turned into a ball of light and returned to Gilgamesh's Treasury.
"Gil, it seems you have a worthy opponent!"
Gilgamesh glanced at the Lion King before him with a flippant look. As the Star of Wisdom and Knowledge was activated, Gilgamesh completely obtained the Lion King's information.
"Hahahaha, another mongrel who calls himself a king, and a god at that, hahahahaha, die, mongrel!"
Hundreds of golden ripples appeared behind Gilgamesh, kicking off this battle.
The Lion King lightly pulled the reins, controlling O'stalion, and nimbly dodged and weaved through the golden heavy rain.
Meanwhile, Rin, who was standing by, was not idle. She continuously chanted holy hymns, and with her chanting, immense magical power emanated from her. Rin then slowly floated away, watching the Lion King, who was locked in a fierce battle with Gilgamesh, with a blank expression.
While dodging Gilgamesh's barrage of Noble Phantasms, the Lion King was also busy unleashing gusts of wind, forming them into blades that attacked Gilgamesh. This forced Gilgamesh, who didn't want to move, to summon multiple shield-like Noble Phantasms to defend himself.
Seizing the moment Gilgamesh summoned his shields, the Lion King leaped from Ereshkigal, thrusting the shining Spear of the End without hesitation towards Gilgamesh.
Upon seeing the Holy Lance charging at him, Gilgamesh remained unfazed, continuing to fire his Noble Phantasms while softly calling out.
"Rin!"
Rin, who was maintaining her guard and floating in mid-air, murmured.
"Saint George's Sanctuary—Dragon's Breath!"
At this moment, the magic circles in Rin's eyes unfolded, forming two large magic circles about 2 meters in diameter. As the magic circles appeared, space itself seemed to split open, and a dazzling pillar of white light shot out from the spatial rift in front of Rin's face, colliding with the Lion King's shining Spear of the End.
The moment the Lion King's shining Spear of the End and Dragon's Breath collided, a tremendous force was transmitted, forcibly halting the thrusting motion of his spear.
Furthermore, Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms arrived at the Lion King's side at that very instant. Just as the Lion King was about to be struck by the Noble Phantasms, he forcefully exerted his arm, deflecting the trajectory of Dragon's Breath unleashed by Rin. The deflected Dragon's Breath, in that instant, blasted away the Noble Phantasms attacking the Lion King. However, as Dragon's Breath was deflected, a large area of the ground was also destroyed.
As the ground was destroyed by Dragon's Breath, the Lion King, caught off guard, was hit on the shoulder by light feathers. Feeling the heavy blow, the Lion King nimbly dodged the incoming Noble Phantasms and created distance.
After creating distance, the Lion King clutched his shoulder, looking at the light feathers slowly drifting down from the sky with a grim expression.
Because the Lion King did not understand the magecraft of Dragon's Breath, he was unaware that objects destroyed by Dragon's Breath would transform into light feathers, and thus suffered a minor setback.
The moment the ground was destroyed, the damaged ground transformed into light feathers, which lightly landed on the Lion King's shoulder armor. The Lion King, who thought they were harmless, was struck with immense force the moment the light feathers touched him. His shoulder armor instantly shattered, and his shoulder sustained considerable damage.
The Lion King glanced at the shining Spear of the End in his hand, then looked up at the troublesome master and servant duo opposite him. He leveled the Holy Lance in his hand, seemingly preparing to unleash his Noble Phantasm.
Gilgamesh also noticed the Lion King's intention and, with a casual snap of his fingers, countless chains emerged from the golden ripples surrounding the Lion King, lashing out at him.
Facing the incoming Chains of Heaven, the Lion King had no choice but to abandon his plan to unleash his Noble Phantasm and began to dodge and deflect the incoming chains. Rin also seized the opportunity to unleash Dragon's Breath again, continuously sweeping it towards the Lion King.
Just as the battle began, Shirou Emiya noticed his magic power being rapidly depleted. At the same time, Martha sensed the Lion King's surging fighting spirit.
After greeting Karen and Shirou Emiya, Martha hurried towards the battlefield.
Shirou Emiya and Karen also rushed towards the location of the battle.
Gilgamesh smugly watched the Lion King, who was suspended in mid-air by the Chains of Heaven, in a sorry state.
At this point, the Lion King's armor was damaged in multiple places, revealing his mature physique.
"Hahaha, so that little girl grew up to look like this, hahaha! I permit you to become my collection and live on, hahahaha!"
Rin, seeing the triumphant Gilgamesh, anxiously shouted at him.
"Gil, dodge! This guy, she has no divinity, your Chains of Heaven are useless against her!"
Gilgamesh was taken aback. Hearing Rin's words, the Lion King no longer bothered to conceal his power, broke free from the Chains of Heaven, and forcefully hurled the Holy Lance in his hand towards Gilgamesh.
"God, why have you forsaken me?"
A massive magic circle appeared centered on Rin's face, floating in the air and emitting a red and black glow, slowing the Holy Lance. Simultaneously, Rin unleashed Dragon's Breath again, deflecting the Holy Lance.
Watching the Holy Lance narrowly miss him, Gilgamesh, somewhat angered, took out EA, seemingly annoyed that the Lion King had made him lose face in front of Rin.
At this moment, Rin looked at Gilgamesh with a strange gaze, beginning to doubt which era of Gilgamesh she had summoned this time.
Rin was indeed not mistaken. The Servant clone of Gilgamesh before her was from the period just after he ascended to the throne. As it was a relatively young period in his life, his personality was not only brutal but also prone to unexpected carelessness and ego.
However, this Servant clone, having received memories from his main body after descending, was kinder to Rin than the one from the Fourth Holy Grail War. Perhaps this was because he had not yet experienced becoming friends with Enkidu during this period! Speaking of which, Rin was actually the first friend Gilgamesh encountered in this era.
"King of Heroes, can you cease your wrath?"
Gilgamesh, who had raised EA and was about to unleash it, looked at Martha, who had suddenly appeared. He not only did not stop but increased his magic power output. As EA spun faster and faster, a storm of red magical energy surged forth from EA.
Martha looked at EA about to be unleashed in Gilgamesh's hand, shook her head, then signaled the Lion King with a glance before leaping in front of Rin to prevent her from interfering with the Lion King.
The Lion King, without hesitation, recalled his Holy Lance and, at the moment EA was unleashed, also unleashed his Holy Lance.
"E Turn! The Star of Creation!"
"Holy Lance, Anchor Aweigh! The Spear of the End~~~!"
The red magical energy, representing the severing of the world and destruction, and the golden magical energy, representing the pillar of the world and divinity, clashed fiercely. The immense sound echoed throughout Fuyuki City, and the terrifying magical power emanating from the collision caused even the Magus and Church personnel who were fighting to stop and turn their attention to the dreadful impact.
The roaring light shattered everything. The wind pressure and scattered magical power generated by the collision instantly obliterated everything within a radius of several kilometers.
Karen and Shirou Emiya, who were anxiously rushing to the battlefield, were blown away by the sudden gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.
Martha, utilizing Fuyuki City's coastal location, activated 'Water-Blessed Saint' and 'Body of a Saint (Sea)' to resist the residual shockwaves from the collision, while vigilantly staring at Rin, who was calmly withstanding the aftershocks with Saint George's Sanctuary.
"What a formidable girl!"

Section 98 Chapter 94: Father and Son Killing Each Other - Rin and Gil vs. Martha and Lion King!
Time returned to earlier, just as Gilgamesh and the Lion King were engaged in a fierce battle.
On a tall building in the distance, Archer and Assassin were facing each other from afar.
Archer stood on the railing of the top floor, looking at Assassin on another building not far away, and shrugged.
"Why do you have to bother me? I really hate trouble!"
After speaking, Archer leaped up, materialized a longbow in his hand, and without hesitation, shot three swords in a triangular formation towards Assassin.
Assassin's hand flashed with light, and the Calico M950 automatic pistol appeared in their hand. Without hesitation, they unleashed a hail of bullets towards the sword in the air. Simultaneously, with several agile leaps, they moved to the signal tower atop the tall building, evading Archer's attack that followed the sword.
Archer spun the Gan Jiang Mo Ye in their hand, looking at the pistol in Assassin's grip with slight surprise.
"A modern weapon? Are you a modern Servant? Oh well, once I'm done with you, I'll know everything!"
With that said, Archer charged towards Assassin, who stood atop the signal tower. Soon, the two Servants engaged in a fierce battle on the signal tower, a hundred meters in the sky.
Assassin once again used Scapegoat, transferring an ordinary person from below to their position, taking Archer's slash for them.
The repeated staining of innocent blood with every attack ignited a roar of fury within Archer. With a roar, he shouted, "Assassin!"
Then, Archer threw the Gan Jiang Mo Ye in his hand towards Assassin.
"Crane Wing Triple Strike!"
Facing the pair of Gan Jiang Mo Ye and Archer attacking them, Assassin calmly activated their Noble Phantasm.
'Pluck the Blooming Flower When It's Time'
Time seemed to slow down in Assassin's eyes. It wasn't that Assassin had slowed time, but rather that Assassin had accelerated their own. Instantly accelerated, Assassin dodged the sure-to-hit Crane Wing Triple Strike. With a few flashes, they appeared behind Archer, raising a strange gun and aiming it at Archer's back.
