"Oh, right, you don't need to worry about the Command Spells anymore."
Rin said, "Your Command Spells have been overridden by my Dependent Contract. Emiya Kiritsugu can no longer command you."
Artoria quickly adjusted to her new identity.
There was no other way. Kiritsugu was simply too unpopular.
"When will you act against Assassin?"
"When I am fighting Gilgamesh."
Rin said, "With him there, it would be very dangerous for you to go."
"I'm not afraid of that guy!"
Rin: "Then let me rephrase it. He is a prey I have my eyes on. Can you let him go for me?"
"I understand, Master!"
"You're being too formal. Just call me Rin."
Artoria was very satisfied with her new lord and had hope for the future.
Afterward, Artoria saw Sakura.
She had no idea that Rin's Master would be such a young girl.
"This child is Sakura. I rescued her from the Matou Family."
Rin explained Sakura's situation.
After listening, Artoria was greatly displeased with the Matou Family and the Tohsaka Family: "Pushing such a young child into a pit of fire, why are all the mages in this world such people!"
First Kiritsugu, then Tokiomi, and also Kirei.
It seemed that, except for Waver, none of the modern mages were good people.
Rin connected the Ryuudou Temple ley line to Saber, allowing her to draw magical energy from it.
With Avalon, the Excalibur, and the support of the Ryuudou Temple's magical energy, with such strength, let alone a mere Assassin, Artoria had a good chance of winning against even Iskandar and Gilgamesh.
Just like that, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the night of the second day.
Rin and Artoria acted separately.
The former stayed at Ryuudou Temple, while the latter, accompanied by the Shadow Squad's ninjas, located Hassan of the Hundred Faces.
At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kirei Kotomine also began their actions.
The two met again, just like in the original story, and a fierce gun battle erupted.
"You've arrived, Gilgamesh."
Behind the gate of Ryuudou Temple, Rin stood there, waiting for Gilgamesh's arrival.
Sakura had been placed by Rin within his Bounded Field.
It was very safe there and would not be affected by anything.
Shion hoisted her long blade and, leading the Red Corps, charged towards the mountain gate.
Rin paid no attention to the battle there.
His attention was focused on Artoria, waiting for the moment she would utterly defeat Assassin.
Rin opened his attribute panel, looking at the parsing progress of Gate of Babylon.
[Parsing Progress: 20%]
[Parsing Progress: 21%]
As Shion and Gilgamesh clashed again, the parsing progress began to climb at a considerable speed.
And when Shion was defeated, there were still others.
Yes, Rin was indeed sending them in waves.
It was impossible to deal with Gilgamesh relying on the Ogres.
After all, Gilgamesh was the strongest Heroic Spirit designated by Type-Moon. This text is hosted at NoveI(F)ire.net
His weak performance in the original work was mainly because Gilgamesh was not serious and fought too carelessly.
Once he became serious and fully prepared, he was definitely the most terrifying existence.
However, Rin's trump card against Gilgamesh was not the Ogres.
Ice Empress was getting a little impatient.
"If you want to go, you can."
Rin's words greatly displeased Ice Empress: "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it means."
Rin patted Ogerpon's head and then took Snow Empress's hand: "These are my left and right arms. As for you, Ice Empress, you were just a bonus."
Ice Empress wanted to bite him, but Rin was speaking the truth.
This guy was truly vexing.
"Bing'er, don't be impulsive."
Snow Empress said, "I still need your power."
Thankfully, she still had Snow Empress.
Ice Empress glared fiercely at Rin, then moved closer to Snow Empress, cuddling with her.
"This amount of magical energy is a bit too abnormal."
Gradually, as the battle grew more intense, Rin noticed something was amiss.
Gilgamesh was indeed strong.
But to defeat over 30 Ogres in such a short time was truly beyond common sense.
Suddenly, Rin thought of a possibility.
It was also at this moment that the mountain gate completely collapsed, the barrier shattered, and a figure clad in golden armor appeared before Rin.
"These mongrels truly wasted a lot of this King's time!"
Golden ripples flickered around Gilgamesh, and countless Noble Phantasms appeared and disappeared, exerting immense pressure on everyone.
Rin noticed the change on Gilgamesh's body.
The red patterns on his skin glowed faintly, and the magical energy within them felt very similar to Command Spells to Rin.
'So Kirei Kotomine still got his hands on the Holy Church's Command Spells?'
Rin was a bit surprised but it was within an acceptable range.
However, he didn't know how many Command Spells Kirei Kotomine had used, and what kind of boost those Command Spells had given to Gilgamesh?
"Still as arrogant as ever, Gilgamesh."
Facing Rin's taunt, Gilgamesh merely snorted coldly.
The next moment, a green flying ship shot out from behind him, and Gilgamesh leaped up, sitting atop this airship.
Rin knew the origin of this flying ship. It was the glorious chariot from the Ramayana.
But the next moment, Rin saw a strange object being thrown down from Vimana.
Gilgamesh revealed a playful smile, as if he had been looking forward to the scene that was about to unfold.
Almost at the instant Rin spoke, dozens of Miko Himes acted simultaneously.
A large amount of magical energy converged, forming a barrier even stronger than before, enveloping the courtyard of Ryuudou Temple.
White light instantly bloomed.
Then came boundless heat, and a colossal roar that seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.
The barrier swayed precariously. Although it ultimately didn't shatter, its brilliance had already faded by six or seven tenths.
This showed just how immense the power of that strike was.
