Truth
"This truly puts me in a difficult position."
After Black Flash stepped into the church and swept his gaze over everyone present, he looked thoroughly disdainful.
Yet his appearance made both Saber and Mage Killer feel as though they were facing a great enemy.
They knew exactly what kind of existence he was!
Mage Killer had never imagined that Gilgamesh would not only fail, but also end up being controlled. How could the dignified King of Heroes possibly suffer such a fate?!
"What is with that expression? You do not actually think I have been controlled, do you?"
Gilgamesh glanced at Mage Killer.
"Do you think there is anyone in this world who could make me obey their commands?"
"Then... you wanted to do this yourself?"
Mage Killer asked with a frown.
His good friend from the Delight Duo had betrayed him, and that made him very unhappy.
"I did not want to at first, but that fellow is simply too good at stirring up trouble."
For once, Gilgamesh spoke with a note of helplessness.
He had originally intended to lie low within the Black Grail and wait to return to the Root.
As for who ultimately won and brought about that return, it did not matter. As long as he achieved his goal, that was enough.
But he had been idling around when, heaven knew what that fellow had done after returning to the past!
The Deva Path's missions and urgings had practically flooded his vision.
He had no choice. Maintaining the proper course was one of his duties, so he could only hastily strengthen himself and come over.
Since he could not use the power of the higher realm, he could only use what was available locally.
The Black Grail's corruption boost was the simplest option.
