King Arthur Makes a Grand Entrance!

On the Light Screen, the camera shifted to the Berserker Master hiding in the shadows. The latter appeared to be under immense pressure and agony, gasping for breath with cold sweat streaming down his face. The veins on his forehead bulged visibly, even seeming to writhe, as he gritted his teeth in a savage expression.

Yet, despite such agony, the man continued to mutter through clenched teeth, his voice filled with intense hatred: "Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him..."

This thick, palpable hatred could be felt by those in the real world even through the Light Screen, leaving many unable to comprehend the situation.

After all, Gilgamesh was a Servant summoned for the Holy Grail War; there was no logical reason for him to have any entanglement with a mere mage.

Could it be that, unbeknownst to everyone, the King of Heroes had already clashed with the Berserker Master and killed someone important to him?

However, given the arrogant, tyrannical nature of the King of Heroes, if a conflict had occurred, he would likely have crushed the person on the spot. How could he have left the man alive to oppose him?

This question troubled countless people, though many sharp-minded individuals considered another possibility.

At the Yao Guang-Chaldea headquarters, Murata Himeko remarked, "It shouldn't be a conflict with Gilgamesh, but rather with Gilgamesh's Master, Tohsaka Tokiomi. Furthermore, this person must be well-acquainted with Tohsaka Tokiomi, or perhaps he is aware of Tohsaka Tokiomi's existence unilaterally."

"Given Tohsaka Tokiomi's demeanor, which carries the air of a villainous big boss, I don't doubt for a second that this man has many enemies. It wouldn't be strange for a Master participating in the Holy Grail War to want him dead."

Hearing Murata Himeko's analysis, everyone present nodded in agreement, finding the logic sound.

Only Tohsaka Tokiomi's expression grew increasingly awkward. Although he knew this wasn't actually him, it was indeed 'him' in a sense, making the sensation quite subtle.

Even Tohsaka Tokiomi's wife, Tohsaka Aoi, and daughter, Tohsaka Rin, cast subtle glances at their husband and father, their eyes filled with an emotion that could only be described as: 'Our husband/dad seems incredibly powerful in this unverified timeline.'

To be honest, Tohsaka Tokiomi was truly...

Envious!

That elegance, that composure, that air of a boss who held everything in his palm as if the world were a chessboard—it was a charisma no man could refuse.

Just as a normal man could not refuse the charm of a man like The Godfather, Tohsaka Tokiomi felt he was about to shed tears of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Of course, he had to remain elegant. No matter how envious or jealous he felt, he had to maintain his grace and not break character.

But he was really so envious...

Then, just as Tohsaka Tokiomi was caught in his complex emotions, Waver rubbed his slightly cramping stomach and said, "Although the Berserker Master inside is acting quite crazily, he doesn't seem to truly want to kill Tohsaka Tokiomi. Instead, he is acting out of a mindset of 'I must make you suffer.' The fact that he sent his Servant to deal with Gilgamesh rather than directly targeting Tohsaka Tokiomi is clear evidence of this."

After a pause, Waver continued his analysis: "However, it is clear he overestimated the power at his disposal. Berserker is strong; the level of power displayed even exceeds that of the Fianna Knights' greatest warrior, Diarmuid. Yet, compared to that furious golden king, the gap is visible to the naked eye."

"Although that King just lost to Master Li Shuwen, that was because the King was too arrogant and did not take the fight seriously. Furthermore, Master Li's abilities as an Assassin-class Servant are inherently designed for one-hit kills."

"Therefore, as the narration stated, Gilgamesh possesses the strongest and most excellent abilities of all those present, but his personality causes his combat effectiveness to fluctuate."

"Clearly, the King of Heroes is currently in a state of rage, and the intensity of the power he is wielding is much stronger than when he faced Master Li Shuwen. That Servant, suspected to be the Knight of Rebellion Mordred, does not possess an advantage over the King of Heroes."

"Having failed the initial sneak attack, defeat is now inevitable if the fight continues—it might not even require Gilgamesh to kill Mordred; the mana consumption required to sustain the Servant's combat could drain this man dry."

"This can be seen from the man's painful display; he cannot hold on for much longer."

On the Light Screen, as if to verify Waver's analysis, the Berserker Master's body suddenly stiffened. He let out a pained cry, vomited a mouthful of blood, and his knees buckled, causing him to collapse to the ground while clutching his chest and coughing incessantly.

Then, the camera shifted to Mordred, who was frantically swinging her weapon, only to suddenly freeze. She failed to fully dodge a barrage of Noble Phantasms from Gilgamesh and was sent flying with a thunderous boom.

At the same time, fragments of armor scattered as the right shoulder of Mordred's black armor was destroyed, revealing the shoulder of a young girl, now stained with blood.

Seeing this, the furious King of Heroes wore a savage grin. With the typical villainous tendency to talk too much, he mocked, "Mad dog, it seems your master can no longer provide you with enough power. Since you have become a useless stray, lie down on the ground and die with gratitude!"

As he finished speaking, the rain of Noble Phantasms was unleashed once more. This time, Mordred was lying on the ground from the previous attack and had not yet managed to rise. If she were hit, Berserker would essentially be eliminated tonight.

Just then, the camera shifted. Irisviel had arrived beside Hisau Maiya and was under her protection, while Saber, who had previously been guarding her, was nowhere to be seen.

At the same time, her inner voice echoed: "Do your best, Saber!"

While the audience was stunned by this sudden development, the camera returned to Mordred's location.

At this moment, the King of Heroes' rain of Noble Phantasms was about to descend upon the Knight of Rebellion.

Yet, in that very instant, the swift figure of King Arthur appeared before the Knight of Rebellion. The Holy Sword in her hand had shed its Invisible Blade disguise, and golden mana was surging.

As the King of Eternity swung the sword with both hands, a terrifying slash of golden Mana Burst cut across the air.

At this moment, the Sword of Promised Victory lived up to its other moniker, Excalibur. With a single slash powered by nothing but mana, it shattered the six Noble Phantasms the King of Heroes had projected.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the Noble Phantasms were reduced to countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

With this absolute strike, Saber protected her daughter—the Knight of Rebellion who served as a traitor—from the King of Heroes.
