"Could this kid be a Heroic Spirit? No!"
In the shadows, Kayneth came to his senses and thought, This kid was clearly human just now, so how did he turn into a Heroic Spirit? Wait, could it be...!
"A Class Card? No wonder you dared challenge me."
Gilgamesh said gravely, "I'd almost forgotten. You took first place in the quiz three days in a row. You must have gotten quite a few good things."
Chapter 27: Feng Xi vs. Gilgamesh
(A Gatling gun spitting blue flames)
Indeed, what Feng Xi was using now was the Class Card he had obtained from the golden treasure chest awarded in the first quiz.
Feng Xi had used that blank Class Card to copy Red Hare's power.
Originally, he had wanted to save it until he had a chance to copy the power of a Grand Servant or a Divine Spirit.
But there was no helping it. Plans couldn't keep up with changes.
He had formed a grudge with Chuunibyou Gilgamesh because he simply couldn't stand him.
Chuunibyou Gilgamesh was hardly merciful. He would torture and kill even a little girl like Illya without hesitation.
To give himself more power to protect himself, he could only use it now.
Fortunately, although the Class Card was Red Hare's, using it didn't turn him into a horse.
If he really turned into that beast...
Uh, he couldn't imagine it...
"You think that's enough to deal with me?!"
Gilgamesh waved a hand, and another dozen or so Noble Phantasms shot toward Feng Xi.
"Clang, clang, clatter..."
The God Force whistled fiercely through the air in Feng Xi's hands, leaving no blind spots. Like an absolute defensive barrier, it knocked every Noble Phantasm away.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why is your Servant just standing there watching?"
Gilgamesh continued firing Noble Phantasms as he taunted Feng Xi.
Zhang Jue stood quietly to the side, watching the battle without the slightest intention of intervening.
"Stop trying to drive a wedge between us. I told him to stay out of it."
Feng Xi answered him and once again knocked away every incoming Noble Phantasm.
"Let's see how long you can hold out."
Gilgamesh sneered and summoned another dozen or so Noble Phantasms.
He wasn't firing a whole rain of Noble Phantasms at once because he wanted to watch Feng Xi's "dying struggle."
That would give him immense pleasure.
"Before that, take an arrow from me!"
Feng Xi raised the God Force first and drew his hand back along its shaft. The small side blades on either side of the halberd spread out to form a longbow, while the remaining spear became an arrow.
"You've fired at me so many times. Now it's my turn!"
Feng Xi released his hand, and the spear turned into a streak of white light that shot toward Gilgamesh.
"You think something like that can hit me?"
Disdain appeared on Gilgamesh's face, and he twisted aside to dodge Feng Xi's arrow.
But before Gilgamesh could open his mouth to taunt him, another spear appeared in Feng Xi's hand.
Feng Xi quickly fired a second arrow, aiming straight at Gilgamesh's face.
Clang!
Gilgamesh immediately summoned a shield and forcibly blocked the arrow.
But its tremendous power still drove Gilgamesh back more than ten meters.
"What else have you got-ugh!"
Having just dealt with the attack, Gilgamesh was about to taunt him when he suddenly felt magical energy coming from behind. He hurriedly dodged sideways, but he was still a step too late.
A streak of white light struck, severing his right arm.
"Yes!" Feng Xi smiled in satisfaction.
I beat Shirou Emiya to chopping off Gilgamesh's arm.
Congratulations to Gilgamesh on claiming the title of Arm King once again.
"No way! That King of Heroes actually...!"
The sight also left everyone watching dumbfounded.
Although they didn't know exactly how strong Gilgamesh was, the system had specifically named him the strongest Heroic Spirit during the quiz, so his strength certainly couldn't be lacking.
Although they could block what Gilgamesh had just unleashed, counterattacking would be extremely difficult.
"You mongrel! What exactly did you do?"
Clutching his severed arm, Gilgamesh addressed Feng Xi through gritted teeth.
That white light should have been the first attack Feng Xi had fired, but hadn't he dodged it? Why had it come from behind?
"Hehe, why should I tell you?"
Naturally, Feng Xi wasn't foolish enough to reveal his secrets.
It was simple. He had used Royal Brand's sure-hit skill on that first arrow.
Gilgamesh had seemingly dodged the blow, but the attack had actually curved around and continued toward him from behind.
At that moment, Feng Xi had drawn Gilgamesh's attention with the second attack, so he hadn't noticed and dodged in time.
As for where the second arrow had come from, it was naturally Red Hare's Pseudo God Force.
Don't forget, using a Class Card didn't just grant a Heroic Spirit's power. Their Noble Phantasms could also be used.
In other words, Feng Xi actually had two Noble Phantasms available: the God Force and the Pseudo God Force.
Moreover, Feng Xi had been pleasantly surprised to discover that the Pseudo God Force could be mounted on the God Force and used.
If he activated the Pseudo God Force as he fired it, its power could be multiplied.
But since it was a feint, Feng Xi hadn't used it.
"You mongrel..."
Gilgamesh was furious. He hadn't expected to suffer such a major setback in his debut.
"Now! Kill him, Knight of the Lake!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterward, a knight covered from head to toe in armor charged out of the shadows.
It was none other than the Knight of the Lake.
The Knight of the Lake was actually holding a Gatling gun, and he opened fire directly at Gilgamesh.
Blue flames flickered as a dense barrage of magical bullets poured out.
"You rabid dog!"
Gilgamesh hadn't expected Berserker to dare swoop in to take advantage. Caught off guard, he took several shots before bringing out another shield to defend himself.
Of course, Gilgamesh wasn't going to just stand there taking hits. Several Noble Phantasms shot toward the Knight of the Lake at once.
"Raaagh!!!"
The Knight of the Lake let out a low roar, shifted the Gatling gun into one hand, and swiftly caught an incoming longsword Noble Phantasm with his right hand before knocking the remaining Noble Phantasms away.
The entire sequence flowed seamlessly, showing that his strength was certainly not lacking.
"Rabid dog, who gave you permission to touch my Noble Phantasms?!"
Gilgamesh grew even more furious at the sight and summoned another dozen or so Noble Phantasms, firing them toward the Knight of the Longsword.
Wielding gun and sword together, the Knight of the Longsword didn't fall behind in the slightest.
Seeing this, Feng Xi had no intention of intervening. Instead, he watched the spectacle from the sidelines.
That guy Kariya Matou went up against Tokiomi Tohsaka right from the start.
And he even equipped the Knight of the Lake with a Gatling gun. Seriously impressive.
Chapter 28: A sneak attack, Zhang Jue with a gun
(Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu)
In fact, yesterday's video had given Kariya Matou the idea of equipping him with a Gatling gun.
After learning about the Knight of the Lake's skills, Kariya Matou had thought of it.
Since he could control a fighter jet, surely he could use other firearms too.
So he had gone to some trouble to obtain this Gatling gun for the Knight of the Lake.
