🕑 Added 2025-03-24 03:00:04 +0000 UTC【 “In short, we have to rely on ourselves to stop them!” Ishtar, having no other choice, said to Merlin.
Then, she shouted towards Ereshkigal below: “Ereshkigal! You and Fujimaru must go and stop Beast from returning to the surface!”
“Understood! As you wish!” After hearing this, Merlin looked around gravely, then drew a long sword from his staff and threw it at the Laḫmu. 】
.....

“Isn’t he supposed to be a magician? Why does a mage’s staff contain a sword?!”
“Everyone knows that every magician has a dream of close combat!”
Everyone silently cursed after seeing Merlin pull a sword from his staff!
【 Taking this opportunity, Ereshkigal and Fujimaru Ritsuka’s group immediately flew towards Tiamat, but three Laḫmu behind them noticed and flew even faster!
“Don’t think you’ll get your way!” Ishtar moved quickly in the air, then swung her hand, summoning several golden magical cannons that chased after the Lahmu!
“Bang ——” With an explosion, the Laḫmu were struck down, but suddenly another one emerged from the side, kicking Ishtar!
“Damn it!” Kicked by one of them, Ishtar tumbled several times in the air. When she stabilized herself, she found herself surrounded by Lahmu.
Seeing this, Ishtar couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, forcing a smile and muttering: “This is really hard to deal with!”
At the same time, on the other side, Ereshkigal, flying toward Tiamat, looked at the enormous figure climbing upward. Though not very confident, she still firmly said:
“I will find a way to stop her!”
However, the LaḫmuLahmu attacking from behind forced everyone to stop. Although Mash blocked a few rounds of attacks, she was eventually knocked down to the ground!
Seeing this, Merlin also rushed over to draw away the Lahmu, buying time to rescue Mash!
While fighting alongside the Lahmu, Merlin was pushed back by a terrifying force, looking at his opponent in shock: “This power! Is it Divine-level?!”
Even though the opponent was at the level of a Divine, Merlin still turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka behind him and said: “Fujimaru! Leave this to me.”
“I’ve been waiting to say this line for a while now!”
“Merlin!” Fujimaru Ritsuka looked worriedly at the figure ahead, unable to imagine how Merlin could possibly deal with these Divine-level Lahmu! 】
......
~Projection of All Worlds~
“According to theory, aren’t all eleven Lahmu at the level of Divine?!”
“No wonder even the goddess Ishtar finds them so difficult to handle!”
“But this Merlin… He can actually withstand the strength of a Divine-level being… He’s incredible!”
“Not only that, but she looks so skilled and experienced!”
“Could it be that he has some ultimate move he hasn’t used yet? Or maybe he’s like those goddesses earlier, releasing Noble Phantasms?”
The crowd outside the screen was extremely curious about what method Merlin would use to deal with this situation!
【 “Alright!” Merlin smiled at the Lahmu in front of him and said: “Since it’s come to this, let me show you something I’m best at—a little trick!”
Then, Merlin materialized a holy sword in his hand, swung it, crouched slightly, and disappeared instantly at high speed.
A flash of white light appeared, and the Lahmu in front of him was cut in half. Another Lahmu used its hand like a blade, exchanging blows with Merlin!
“Although this isn’t my usual style!”
Then, while Merlin was engaged in close combat with one of the Lahmu, he charged his staff with magical energy and unleashed a burst of magic to finish off her opponent!
“Artoria often falls to this trick!” 】
.....
~Projection of All Worlds~
“By the way, why does a mage have such incredible speed?!”
“Indeed, a mage who can’t fight in close combat isn’t a good mage!”
“This is the legendary close-combat mage!”
“Suddenly, I feel a bit sorry for that person.”
~Type-Moon World in the Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“It’s truly unpredictable!”
Outside the screen, Artoria looked nostalgically at the familiar move!
The crowd once again turned their gaze to Artoria. No wonder she’s the King of Knights—it’s not easy to grow up like that!
Is this the legendary teacher of the King of Knights? It’s really unclear whether he’s a mage or a swordsman.

“Wow!!!”
Leonidas watched Merlin, wielding a sword, effortlessly slay a Divine-level Lahmu and felt utterly astonished!
Based on what he knew, he should be a prospective magus, right?! He couldn’t help but turn his gaze toward Merlin.
Feeling everyone’s gaze from Uruk, Merlin laughed awkwardly:
“Yare yare! I may be a magus, but isn’t it reasonable for me to know a bit of swordsmanship to protect myself?”
If you don’t believe me, just ask the Lahmu he just defeated—they’ll tell you it’s reasonable!
Feeling the silent gazes of the crowd, Merlin sighed helplessly. Isn’t Gilgamesh, your king, also a prospective magus?!
And doesn’t he love swinging axes and swords during battle?! Why don’t you ask your king—he might even be called the Axe King of Uruk!
【 On the other side, Ishtar, who had been holding off a group of Lahmu, was covered in wounds, blood dripping from her mouth, and was kicked flying again.
Just then, King Hassan appeared behind the Lahmu without anyone noticing. Blue flames began to burn on his body, and he swung his massive sword!
“Boom ——”
Accompanied by the sound of a bell ringing, two Lahmu disappeared without a trace. The heavily armored King Hassan’s blue flames vanished as well, and he turned to the injured, fallen Ishtar and said:
“Retreat! If they are children personally nurtured by the goddess Tiamat, each of them possesses power equal to the leaders of the Demon Gods!”
The heavily armored King Hassan once again turned his gaze to the surrounding Lahmu and slowly said: “Though my title as an Assassin may have been given to the Primordial Sea, my assassination techniques remain undiminished!”
Then he began fighting several Lahmu together, knowing that each possessed power equivalent to a demon god!
King Hassan’s body was instantly pierced by black mana beams released by one of the Lahmu, creating several large holes!
But King Hassan didn’t fall. Instead, azure flames erupted from his wounds, and the eyes of his skull mask suddenly lit up with a bright glow!
On the other side, thanks to King Hassan’s assistance in stalling, Fujimaru Ritsuka’s group finally reached Tiamat’s back!
“Not good! We can already see the surface with our naked eyes!” Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted anxiously…
“Then I’ll use my Noble Phantasm to stop her!” Just as Ereshkigal closed her eyes to release her Noble Phantasm, a black whip emerged from the side, pulling Mash’s shield!
Then, with great force, Mash was flung away, crashing into the wall!
“Mash!” Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly ran toward where Mash had fallen!
Meanwhile, Ereshkigal’s hands glowed red, tightly binding the Lahmu that wanted to attack!
“I won’t let you run wild in my Underworld!”
However, the bound Lahmu began releasing dark mana beams indiscriminately, striking Ereshkigal!
From afar, Mash narrowly avoided the attack, thanks to Fujimaru Ritsuka’s timely arrival!
By now, Tiamat was almost out of the Underworld, but everyone was tightly held back by the Lahmu.
There was no way to stop her.
“At this rate... Tiamat will escape!” Fujimaru Ritsuka supported Mash with one hand, his voice hoarse.
Just then, several golden sword lights descended from the sky, striking the mocking Lahmu nearby!
Then, countless sword lights fell, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash couldn’t help but look up. Amidst numerous golden ripples, a familiar figure appeared before everyone!
“You people take too long to handle things!”
Then, golden waves of Noble Phantasms continuously fired, raining down on Tiamat, pushing her back into the Underworld!
Upon seeing this person, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash immediately broke into joyful smiles!!
“Allow me, your king, to assist! Archer, King of Heroes Gilgamesh!” Gilgamesh, arms crossed, smiled as he looked at the crowd below:
“Because it’s too noisy here! I’ll help you out.” 】
........

“King of Uruk?! Didn’t he die already?!”
“Never thought that at this critical moment, the King of Uruk would step in. Truly reliable!”
“Following someone? Without being summoned, he can just appear on his own?!”
“These golden ripples seem familiar……!!”
The crowd outside the video suddenly recalled the first video they watched and realized. Isn’t this the borrowed power of Angelica?
No wonder these golden ripples and the continuous release of Noble Phantasms seemed so familiar!
~Type-Moon World in the Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline~
“Hahahaha!!! Finally, it’s my turn to shine!!”
This wasn’t another version of him—it was the Heroic Spirit Gilgamesh in the Archer class!
Seeing the return of the familiar personality, the King of Conquerors, Iskandar, wondered how one person could change so drastically!
How did he manage to come out of the Throne of Heroes? Did he summon himself from the Throne of Heroes?
However, now that Gilgamesh has entered the battlefield, the situation is sure to change dramatically!!
