He activated his Noble Phantasm, "Twelve Glories".
He summoned the vicious hounds of the underworld from the void.
That was a mythical beast with three heads.
Defense is coming!
"Pfft pfft!!!!"
The three-headed dog, which had just emerged, was covered by a rain of weapons falling from the sky before it could even dodge.
Its enormous body was pierced like a hedgehog.
This was a ferocious beast that even a normal Heroic Spirit would find difficult to deal with, yet it couldn't even last two seconds against this King of Heroes.
Having had a chance to catch his breath while summoning Cerberus, Alcides had already drawn his bowstring.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
An arrow imbued with magical power was shot out, then transformed into a bird-like creature that soared upwards at low altitude.
One of the Twelve Glories, "The Arrow of the Strange Bird".
During this time, Alcádez also launched the "Shoot a Hundred Heads" campaign.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!!!"
As the strange bird, transformed from an arrow, leaped into the sky, its vibrating feathers shot out, and the sound of metal clashing echoed in the air.
"what?"
The echoing sound made him realize something was wrong, and Alcádez's expression tightened.
Everything was blocked!
The hero-king had already deployed countless shields around the area.
Even with his series of attacks, he still couldn't break through.
The other party is being far too cautious! They even anticipated this step!
"Game over!"
With the opponent's every move under control, Gilgamesh declared victory.
This is only natural.
When we can foresee that we still have the strength to suppress the enemy in the future, there is no reason to be defeated.
Gilgamesh, of course, would not allow himself to lose face in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Having already been asked that way, and with my close friend also present...
Therefore, if we're going to do it, we should do it perfectly.
The space rippled, and a "door" emerged from behind Alcides.
"!"
An ominous sense of crisis arose in his mind; it was something that sent chills down his spine.
Even though I hadn't seen what it was yet, alarm bells were already ringing in my mind.
We must avoid it!
otherwise
will die!
There was no more direct feeling than this, and Alcides moved forward without even looking back, trying to get away from under the belly of Cerberus.
"too late!"
Witnessing the other party's actions, Gilgamesh said in a deep voice.
Items taken from the Gate of Babylon.
Those were weapons tainted with the venom of the Hydra.
For Alcides, there was no more exciting special attack.
Even the slightest scratch on the skin, a tiny bit of snake venom, could kill a great hero.
His hunch was right.
Gilgamesh was indeed well-prepared!
And it completely blocked his escape route.
"Humph!"
Gilgamesh, positioned at the forefront of the airship, merely hummed a few words.
As a Grand Master, dealing with mere Avengers was a piece of cake for him.
Even the great heroes of ancient Greece were nothing compared to him when he got serious.
Convinced of their victory
That's for sure.
Because in the future that Gilgamesh saw with his clairvoyance, the other party's death had already been revealed.
Unfortunately
One thing he was still too unprepared for was...
Or perhaps it's a case of placing too much trust in the future as observed by clairvoyance.
"boom!"
"boom!!"
The golden airship in mid-air was destroyed, and the wound ran from his shoulder to his abdomen. Gilgamesh, with half of his body missing, then revealed a look of horror.
Such a "sneak attack".
It was only just observed, but there was simply no time to react.
But then, after falling from a great height, he understood the reason.
(But I, the king, should know this.)
(The future will change based on individual actions.)
In a city that is unknown how far away from here
The girl holding the umbrella pointed her fingertips in this direction.
Even if you can see the future, you still need time to react and make changes!
Chapter 704 704 Rescue! (4K)
As if she had done something insignificant, Kōreimu slowly lowered her raised hand.
Then her figure gradually disappeared into the night.
The attack on that king in the sky was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision on her part.
It was neither a request from Bazdilot nor a plea for help from Alcides.
There was no reason, and no cause and effect.
That's all I wanted to do.
However, she did not use an excessively large-scale magical attack, but merely condensed "bullets" the size of a football.
Even this act of taking possession of the hero king brought him to the brink of death.
This can only be attributed to the fact that the opponent's previous arrangements were not useless.
The defensive Noble Phantasms that had been placed nearby in advance to counter Alcides were all activated at that moment.
It was precisely because of this behavior that Gilgamesh was only barely spared by being caught in the "aftershocks".
Before he could even be surprised by the breach in his defenses, Gilgamesh used the chains to drag himself from mid-air.
Although I really don't want to admit it.
But his interception failed.
To return in this wounded state.
Gilgamesh as "Archer" probably couldn't tolerate it.
But now he has to endure it.
Now is not the time for me to act recklessly; I must inform Fujimaru Ritsuka of that information.
(Listen carefully!)
(Hurry to the wasteland north of the city.)
(Save that crazy woman!)
