Leave the Rest to Me

Gilgamesh showed no anger at all. He glanced sideways and smiled.

"I've been waiting so long for you to get angry. It's been a long time since I saw that expression on your face. It even makes me nostalgic. Ha. Hahahaha—"

He burst into unrestrained laughter.

"This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Long time no see, Shirou Emiya."

"What do you mean?" Shirou frowned. "You set me up?"

"Yes. Playing around with you was quite amusing before, but what I truly wanted to see was you like this—angry, protecting the people behind you. Otherwise, your homunculus Master would have had to die with me. For the sake of beautiful things, I can endure for a very long time." Gilgamesh took several steps back and drew out his Chains of Heaven.

"All right. Now, Shirou, pick up your weapon and kill me, the obstacle in your path. Then defeat that Amakusa Shirou who doesn't know his own limits for me."

Mordred spat out green blood.

It was an extremely potent poison. Even when it merely touched the floor, it corroded it and sent up thick white smoke.

"What's going on?" Ruler stared in astonishment, without even having time to consider the hydra baring its fangs at her.

"The Arrogant King's wine?" Ruler murmured, but in the next instant, the hydra sent her flying.

She slammed into the wall and was embedded in it.

"Assassin—!" Mordred dropped to one knee and roared, only to start coughing even more violently.

"Hahahaha—Saber, it seems you're in quite a bit of pain. Well, that can't be helped." Semiramis rose to his feet and descended the stairs.

With great confidence, he walked up to Saber and pinched her chin.

"Saber, it hurts, doesn't it? That can't be helped.
