Too bad it's only Goldie / Goldie, cough up that XP

Medusa had just been about to argue when she froze.

Yes, this was jealousy.

She instinctively looked at Lin Luo's handsome face, her cheeks flushing faintly.

Damn it, we only just met.

Medusa, can't you show a little backbone?

How did you fall for this man already?

Without thinking, she pressed a hand to her chest, feeling her heart pound wildly.

"What, did I hit the mark?"

Lin Luo spoke with a teasing smile.

At his words, Medusa came back to her senses. She took a few quick steps forward, wrapped her slender arms around Lin Luo's neck, and whispered, "Fine, you got me. I accept your confession."

Feeling the softness against his back, Lin Luo smiled. "But let's be clear: even if we date, I'm still going to have a harem."

"...You scumbag. Could you be any more shameless?"

Chapter 48: Too bad it's only Goldie

"So that's it. You want to date me?"

Artoria finally caught on and looked at Lin Luo with mixed feelings.

Saying something like that in front of another woman...

It was hard to know what to make of him.

Lin Luo blinked, his expression saying that she had finally understood.

He was determined to make the King of Knights his.

He had already made up his mind!

If Heroic Spirits couldn't be turned into devils, he would find another way.

Either way, once he set his sights on her, she wasn't getting away.

Feeling Lin Luo's gaze on her, Artoria sighed. "I'm afraid I must refuse."

"I have no intention of dating anyone."

"Don't worry. I'll make you change your mind."

Rumble!

Just then, lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky. Terrifying bolts raged as a chariot descended from above.

"Hahaha, it's quite lively here!"

A burly red-haired man spread his arms atop the chariot and laughed heartily. "I am Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, and Rider in this war!"

"What are you saying? How could you reveal your own true name?"

Waver was utterly frantic. "Great, now we've lost every bit of our information advantage!"

"Haha, don't worry about it."

Iskandar laughed. "With so many heroes gathered here, how could I shrink back?"

"Whatever I desire, I shall seize openly and honorably. That is my conviction as the King of Conquerors!"

"You're right."

Lin Luo nodded in agreement. "Since you put it so nicely, I won't hold it against you for interrupting my conversation with Artoria."

"Haha, you truly are a man faithful to your desires."

Iskandar spoke cheerfully. "We should share a drink sometime."

"You're not a pretty girl. Dream on."

Lin Luo shook his head, then suddenly said, "All right, I'm getting annoyed. Isn't it time the other rats hiding in the shadows showed themselves?"

His voice echoed. Kiritsugu Emiya remained expressionless and utterly still.

Someone else, however, couldn't resist jumping out.

Hum!

Amid dazzling golden light, an armored Heroic Spirit materialized out of thin air and landed atop a streetlight, looking down at everyone.

"A mere devil—who gave you permission to spout such insolence?"

Gilgamesh stared at Lin Luo, his gaze icy. "Those words alone have sealed your fate. You will die here."

"Oh, Goldie."

Lin Luo smiled and stroked his chin. "Too bad you're not a girl. I got my hopes up for nothing."

"..." Everyone fell silent.

What kind of nonsense was this?

How did this devil manage to turn everything back to women?

Was his head filled with nothing but filthy garbage?

At that moment, everyone had fallen silent.

No, there was one exception.

"Devil, are you insulting me?"

Veins bulged on Gilgamesh's forehead as he said coldly, "I've decided. I won't merely kill you—I'll cut you into a thousand pieces."

As his voice echoed, golden light shimmered in the space behind him, like ripples spreading across water.

Weapons radiating astonishing power slowly emerged, their tremendous killing intent enveloping Lin Luo from head to toe.

"That many Noble Phantasms?"

Everyone, not just the Heroic Spirits, was utterly stunned.

They all kept guessing at Gilgamesh's true name.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the same time, countless Noble Phantasms swept toward Lin Luo through the dazzling golden light.

The air surged in every direction, as though turning into Hurricane and whipping up towering waves.

Even without releasing their true names, the power these Noble Phantasms unleashed still carried a terrifying, unstoppable force that seemed capable of destroying everything.

In a mere instant, countless Noble Phantasms blotted out the sky, leaving Lin Luo no room to dodge as they threatened to blast him to pieces.

At the sight, Medusa tried to step forward.

No matter what, she didn't want anything to happen to Lin Luo.

But the moment she moved, Lin Luo pulled her into his arms. "Relax. These Noble Phantasms are nothing."

Medusa's skin flushed pink, and she couldn't help saying, "At a time like this? Be serious!"

"I've been serious all along."

"After all, everything I said was true."

Lin Luo smiled and raised one hand slightly.

Hum!

A pale blue Magic circle appeared in the air.

Crackle!

A mighty pillar of Thunder tore through the sky.

The countless Noble Phantasms froze in midair, then exploded.

Immediately afterward, the Thunder pillar shot into the heavens. A terrifying shock wave rippled outward, scattering the white clouds overhead.

The night itself became as bright as day.

This sight!

Once again, it stunned everyone present.

They all felt their breath catch.

Chapter 49: Goldie, cough up that XP

"How could this happen?"

A flicker of shock crossed Gilgamesh's eyes.

Even if he had only used the lowest-ranked Noble Phantasms in the Gate of Babylon...

They shouldn't have been destroyed so effortlessly.

Just who was this Servant before him?

[Origin +10]

[Origin +11]

[Origin +15]

Watching the text keep appearing, Lin Luo's eyes lit up, and the way he looked at Gilgamesh changed.

As expected of Goldie. He had so much good stuff.

That settled it!

Before I kill you, I'll make you drop some more XP for me.

"A mere devil!"

Gilgamesh was beside himself with fury. "Who gave you permission to look at me like that?"

He knew that look well. It was exactly how he looked at prey that pleased him.

But who was he?

He was the most ancient king.

Daring to look at him that way was simply unforgivable.

"Die!"

Amid his roar, dazzling light flooded the sky. Countless Noble Phantasms became a raging tide, shooting toward Lin Luo once more.

Crackle!

Blue Thunder swept across the sky, its terrifying radiance crisscrossing through the air and shattering countless Noble Phantasms.

"How should I put this? An XP mob needs to know its place."

Lin Luo rose into the air, an icy glint flashing in his eyes. "I'm counting on you to drop XP, but you still need to be taught a lesson."

As his words rang out, Lin Luo seemed to become a streak of lightning and appeared right in front of Gilgamesh.

So fast!

Gilgamesh's pupils contracted. Before he could react, Lin Luo's palm rapidly filled his vision.

Smack!

His face instantly swelled red. Just as his body began to fly backward, another slap followed.

Smack!

Both sides of Gilgamesh's face quickly matched. His body flew sideways like a cannonball, smashing straight through a distant shipping container and making the ground rumble.

"..."

Everyone's mouths twitched at the sight.

In particular, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was watching the battle through remote equipment in a certain mansion, had undergone a complete change of expression.

He knew!

This arrogant king was about to lose control.
