With Enkidu and Moran standing on the sa ground as him, Gilgash harbored no arrogance.
Like Alcides, Gilgash was always wary of others.
Sudden, unexpected attacks were sothing Enkidu and Moran enjoyed.
Initially, only Moran was like that.
He didn’t know how it happened.
Later, even Enkidu followed Moran’s bad example, proving that one is influenced by their surroundings.
Especially since they were partners.
Even with Noble Phantasms set to automatically intercept attacks, Gilgash remained vigilant.
"Roar—!!"
Nine distorted arrows shot out.
Arash drew his longbow to the point of almost breaking.
Layering on Broken Phantasm and imbuing the arrows with magical power to recreate the form of the Hydra.
The arrows transford into nine-headed giant snakes, lunging with open mouths.
They surrounded Gilgash from different directions.
The poison that had killed Alcides once before was now applied to the arrows.
This was a combination of skill and power.
The poison dragons unleashed a crimson-black hurricane that devoured flesh and bone, consuming and incinerating everything with tainted flas.
The highly acidic poison dripped onto the battle-scarred earth, lashing at it.
As if to scorch it.
"Hydra’s poison? While it’s common for kings to be poisoned, it’s utterly boring, mongrel."
Gilgash manipulated the gates to close and reopen.
The switch was almost instantaneous.
"While I’m greatly angered by having snakes as treasures, my treasury is already stocked with that level of poison.
Including its flesh, blood, and antidote, everything is complete."
"He’ll win... he’ll win! Lord Gilgash...!"
Tiné watched the battle from the top of another building.
From the start of the battle, she had been observing through magecraft, watching Gilgash’s heroic figure.
From the renowned Lionheart King.
To the knight princess as beautiful as a shooting star.
Then, the Avenger.
Most Servants would likely show unease when facing any of these enemies.
However, Gilgash did not.
From beginning to end, he embodied the King of Heroes, always maintaining his supre dominance.
Although Alcides unleashed the Hydra arrows, an attack that seed like a Noble Phantasm, Tiné, seeing Gilgash’s composure, was confident that the King would be victorious.
Gilgash had not yet drawn Ea.
Just seeing his expression of no worry or fear, Tiné felt reassured from the bottom of her heart.
However, this reassurance was about to end.
Another voice reminded Tiné.
"Tiné, that Goldie is in danger..."
"How can that be?! The King has been dominating, and even if that Archer used a Noble Phantasm, it’s within the King’s expectations!"
Standing beside Tiné were the Tohsaka sisters.
After eting Tiné and the others at the casino, the two sisters didn’t return directly to the royal suite. Instead, Gilgash took them and Tiné on a tour of the Snowfield city.
Gilgash was very affectionate towards children.
The Tohsaka sisters were also Moran’s disciples.
Since they were disciples learning from Moran, Gilgash didn’t test them.
Therefore, he was very generous to them.
It was like heaven and earth compared to his treatnt of Richard, which would surely bring tears to the Lionheart King’s eyes.
The proof was that even when Gilgash went to the battlefield, he didn’t beco wary of the Tohsaka sisters, but instead let them stay with his Master, Tiné.
"That’s just within his expectations. You have to rember that Goldie isn’t the only one here. Take that knight princess as an example; she’s quite extraordinary. She hasn’t even used 40% of her power. If she were to attack now..."
Rin paused, leaving the rest unsaid.
lusine’s speed was comparable to the aurora.
Even if Gilgash had automatic interception Noble Phantasms, they probably couldn’t stop the "Albion of the Boundary."
Her piercing an enemy’s spirit core dozens of tis in a fraction of a second was no joke.
For lusine, it was normal output.
"Rin, you... know a lot about her...?"
"Well... I know she’s Albion of Britain, the Boundary Dragon who has always watched over Britain."
"Albion... that Albion of Britain?!"
Tiné couldn’t possibly not know about Albion.
Why was Britain called Britain?
Its na ca from her. The most ancient pure-blooded dragon had appeared in the Holy Grail War.
Not just the King of Britain, but she had co too.
The Gilgash on the surface was indeed mighty and unparalleled, but what about the dangers lurking in the shadows?
She hadn’t realized it, and was still intoxicated by the King’s splendor.
Blinded by the montary brilliance.
At this point, Tiné’s back was completely soaked in cold sweat. She realized that the greatest danger to Gilgash wasn’t anyone else.
It was herself, blindly trusting Gilgash.
No Holy Grail War could be easily won without the Master playing an active role.
That King was undoubtedly isolated.
If she, the only one with a Master-Servant relationship with him, beca blind, who else could assist the King?
No one! No one could help him!
It was true that the King was isolated.
But, she couldn’t let that beco his weakness!
Tiné had realized how dangerous Gilgash’s situation was.
It could almost be described as hanging by a thread.
"Ugh..."
Tiné bit her lip, revealing a hateful expression.
What a huge mistake she had made.
Indeed, saying she would reclaim this land for the family, but in reality, wasn’t she just a child?
Such self-deprecating thoughts arose in her heart.
At the sa ti, one more thing made Tiné alert—Rin Tohsaka, how did she know that the female knight was Albion?
This information was definitely not sothing an ordinary person could obtain.
From ancient tis to the present, the fact that Albion was still breathing in Britain has been regarded by the world as an ethereal legend.
Almost no one has seen her figure.
Even the twelve Lords of the Clock Tower are not qualified.
The only one qualified is the King of Britain.
According to the legends circulating in Britain, the Dragon of Albion will only appear when Britain encounters a great disaster.
