"Ah—because this city is your territory too???"
The stage had now returned to the outer space.
A black, Servant-like figure slowly rose from the shadows.
Then countless weapons shot out from the black mud.
"Is that guy?!"
Artoria recognized it at once. This was Gilgamesh's technique.
[Shadow Servant!]
[Whoa, there's actually a Shadow Servant too.]

[I'm guessing Caren might have only obtained a Class but not the power of a Servant, so she's just a blank slate and a spectator.]
Artoria continuously swung the holy
