Chapter 55: The Sea Monster
🕑 Added 2025-05-19 11:17:52 +0000 UTCIn the distance, a faint magical energy suddenly appeared. Though faint, Arthur could still sense the dense, evil power within it.
It wasn’t just Waver and the others who noticed the unusual magical energy.
The fact that this magical energy could still be felt from this distance meant that at least a dozen magi were using magic there. However, Fuyuki City couldn’t possibly have such a scale, so it was very clear that Caster was up to no good again.
Arthur and Gilgamesh were watching the area from afar. A thick fog covered the distance, obscuring their vision.
"See it? Gil!"
Arthur looked at Gilgamesh and pointed towards the distant fog. Although the fog could block the vision of ordinary people, it was nothing to Heroic Spirits.
"I see it. A disgusting piece of trash. It should be Caster. Only he could be this repulsive."
Indeed, that was where Gilles was summoning the sea monster.
Because of his actions, he had been placed at the top of everyone’s kill list. However, to cover for the injured Jeanne Alter, Gilles had resolutely come out to draw attention.
"That guy, should we go take care of him?"
"Indeed, we can’t let that disgusting creature live."
Gilgamesh looked at the figure in the distance, completely uninterested.
"Why would such filth require our intervention? Can’t they handle it?"
"What’s the big deal? It’s good, let's go watch the fun."
"Alright, I don’t have anything else to do anyway."
Gilgamesh directly opened her treasury and took out a throne, her personal vehicle, Vimana.
"Gil, I really envy you. You have so many strange and wonderful things."
"Tch, how could you possibly imagine my treasures?"
Gilgamesh directly hopped onto Vimana and then looked at Arthur.
"Get on. You’re too slow."
"No way, that thing of yours is too small and crowded!"
Arthur directly summoned his warhorse. A divine white steed appeared before Arthur. With a bound, Arthur mounted it.
"Gil, let’s go. Let’s see who gets there first. My horse can fly too."
"Tch, do as you wish."
Gilgamesh directly sat on her Vimana and then shot off, leaving only a streak of light for Arthur.
"Damn it, you cheated!!!" Arthur looked at the figure who had run off first, feeling abandoned. He directly spurred his horse and flew off.
"Arthur, I want to go too!!!" At this moment, Jeanne also walked over and shouted loudly at the sky. Helplessly, Arthur had to ride his horse back and pick up Jeanne below. However, the price was that Gilgamesh had completely disappeared.
On the other side, Artoria, riding her modified and cool motorcycle, was also speeding along, reaching the destination in a very short time. (Artoria was truly dashing.)
The road surface wasn’t good, but Artoria, with her Riding skill, could perfectly control the motorcycle. In terms of speed, even Takumi Fujiwara in his prime probably couldn’t keep up.
Artoria opened the throttle to the maximum and sped straight to the destination.
Finally, Gilles’ magical energy appeared. Not far away, Irisviel, covering her eyes with magical energy, was also closely watching the sea surface.
"It seems that guy was really summoned by Caster."
Artoria looked at the river surface. Numerous tentacle monsters were gathering in one place, densely packed and quite disgusting.
Gilles, using the magic book in his hand as a source, was performing the largest summoning ritual.
"Haha, Heroic Spirits from various timelines, next, allow me, Gilles de Rais, to welcome you!!!"
However, his words ignited flames of anger in Artoria’s eyes. For Artoria, among the entire Holy Grail War, perhaps the one she loathed the most was Gilles before her!
"You disgusting creature! Now! What do you intend to do again!!!"
"What do I intend to do! I merely wish to show you my greatest ‘art’!"
Gilles said maniacally to everyone before him.
"Come! Let me see your strength!!"
Amidst Gilles’ wild laughter, numerous small sea demons all crawled onto Gilles’ body. He was completely covered, utterly surrounded.
Gilles let out a cry!
"Now I shall once again raise the banner of the savior! Gather around me, you who have been abandoned! Gather around me, you who have been scorned! I shall command you! I shall lead you! The resentment of us, the oppressed, shall soon be conveyed to ‘God’! Lord in the heavens! I shall wash away sin and praise you!"
Gilles gradually ascended, rising to a tremendous height.
"Gilles… vanished?!"
The summoning ritual of the Prelati’s Spellbook had expanded to an astonishing degree. Tendrils were slowly gathering.
The mass of flesh was covered in mucus, the mucus coating the tentacles, glistening under the moonlight.
The enormous sea monster appeared!!!!
"To think that person possesses such powerful magical energy."
"No, how could a Heroic Spirit who doesn’t specialize in magecraft possess such power!!"
Irisviel said worriedly to Artoria.
"That sea monster wasn’t summoned by magical energy at all; it came from that summoning gate."
"So, Caster’s magical energy was just maintaining the gate? In that case, that thing is completely out of control?"
"It seems so."
Artoria had already gripped the sword in her hand tightly. She had decided that she would use her sword to unleash everything and destroy this creature.
"This is an incredibly dangerous foe."
"Yes. The entire Fuyuki City might be swallowed by it before long, and then, who knows how terrifying that creature that has gathered so much magical energy will become!!"
Rumble!
The sound of a chariot advancing came closer. Iskandar had also arrived. He smiled at Artoria.
"Haha, long time no see! You still look as radiant as ever!"
"King of Conquerors, have you come to watch the spectacle?"
Iskandar was not there for that reason. He set down his Master and said to Artoria, "Of course not. I won’t let this thing get away."
"In that case, let us fight together this time."
"Alright! Let’s see who I’m more in sync with, you or him (Arthur)."
"Enough nonsense."
Heroic Spirits gathered in one place! However, why did this scene have a strong feeling of Ultraman fighting a monster?
