Chapter 24: I Helped You Take Back Your Home!

Broly grew angrier the more he thought about it — why could the other guy throw things, while he…

"Eh?!"

A flash of inspiration struck his little head; Broly suddenly realized he could actually throw things too.

Raising his small hand, he took aim at the blond up in the sky, gathered his breath…

【What is he doing?】

The question arose in Gilgamesh's mind, and he suddenly felt a sharp pang of heart-palpitations.

His feet moved; he hurriedly left his original position.

The next instant, an energy bullet swept past the spot where he had just been standing.

The Noble Phantasm he had been using as a stand was directly vaporized.

Gilgamesh: "?!"

He hurriedly looked downward.

Broly blinked, as if discovering a new world, raised his other small hand, and just then happened to look up as well.

Their gazes met; Broly flashed Gilgamesh an innocent smile that read 【This time it's my turn to throw stuff at you】, and green light flared from both his small hands.

"Bang bang bang…"

A continuous string of bombardment sounds rang out amid the torrential rain; water vapor evaporated in the air, forming a thick mist.

And this world seemed to follow the law of "smoke but no injury"; a gold-and-green spaceship burst out from within the mist.

Gilgamesh stood on the spaceship; just now, if his reaction hadn't been fast enough to summon a pile of defensive Noble Phantasms to resist, he would have been blown to death by the energy bullets the boy threw.

Although he wasn't blown to death now, he was also in a rather sorry state, no longer maintaining the kingly posture of crossed arms; the mana barrier that had originally shielded him from the rain had already vanished, and his head and face were soaked with rainwater.

And what was worse, that monster child had taken flight again, green light condensing in his hands as he chased after him — just like he had thrown Noble Phantasms at the other guy earlier, now the other guy was hurling one terrifying energy ball after another at him.

And the difference was, the Noble Phantasm he had thrown earlier couldn't break the other's defense at all, but the energy bullets the other guy was throwing now — as long as several scored a direct frontal hit, he would be done for.

Behind the spaceship Vimana, a string of green lights flashed; terrifying explosions parted heap after heap of rainwater.

Down below, the people who had already taken notice of this battle were somewhat stunned; it was only the heavy downpour that masked most of the commotion, and the internet of this world had not yet risen, otherwise this cool explosion happening in the sky right now would definitely become known to everyone among ordinary people in a short time.

Vimana gained altitude; Gilgamesh controlled the spaceship to rush into the thunderclouds. After entering the thunderclouds, occasional natural lightning streaked across the surroundings, while the energy cannons behind still chased him, bombarding away.

【Vimana, however, has the ability to avoid lightning!】

Gilgamesh thought so, and looked toward the rear.

Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning struck toward Broly.

The lightning's speed was extreme; Broly couldn't dodge in time and was struck directly.

His whole body smoking, he fell downward.

"Although he's a monster, the power of nature is even stronger."

Gilgamesh let out a sigh; once upon a time he too had opposed the natural law of birth, aging, sickness, and death, but the result was also failure.

And just as he finished sighing, with a bang, an energy bullet exploded over again.

He looked back; the boy who had just smoked and fallen was now chasing up again, vigorous as ever.

Broly's body was numb all over from the electricity, but there was no serious harm.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh felt grass grow in his heart, but the situation did not allow him to say anything.

He could only continue leading the other toward the region where thunderclouds were densest.

Lightning appeared again before long, attracted by the residual electric charge on Broly's body.

But this time, the lightning strike failed to inflict a paralysis effect on Broly.

A green energy barrier was propped up by him in advance; Broly bore the natural lightning and continued chasing the spaceship ahead.

"Has the already-ended Mythological Era left something behind in this world?"

This was a question Gilgamesh very much wanted to ask; only those terrifying existences that existed in the Mythological Era could possibly possess the power to oppose the force of nature.

Of course, simple lightning is not nature's strongest power, but being able to tank it with a flesh body is enough to make one's heart tremble.

The chase-and-bombardment battle continued; as Broly adapted more and more to long-range aerial combat, the pressure Gilgamesh felt grew greater and greater.

Tohsaka Tokiomi is an excellent mage, but in the process of Noble Phantasms bombarding wildly and driving the spaceship Vimana to its limits to kite the Saiyan, he was already becoming insufficient.

When the mid-air dodgeball, hide-and-seek game had proceeded for half an hour, Gilgamesh had no choice but to take out a mana potion from his treasury and drink it.

By the time one hour later arrived, the heavy rain gradually lessened, lightning no longer appeared much, and Vimana had been forced by Broly up to ten thousand meters altitude.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Broly prepared to continue bombarding the spaceship with energy bullets, Gilgamesh opened his mouth and called a halt.

If it were any other opponent, they would definitely not stop at this time.

But Broly was different; he was a bit curious what the other wanted to say, and really stopped.

"If we keep fighting like this, it'll only waste each other's time; how about deciding victory and defeat with one move?"

Gilgamesh proposed.

Most of his magic power was consumed on flight, but he was nearly out of magic power from flying, while the monster boy opposite still looked vigorous and spirited.

Continuing to be chased like this, failure was only a matter of time; rather than that, better to use their strongest moves to decide the win/loss once and for all.

"Okay."

Broly merely considered for a moment and agreed; his time was also tight, he had already wasted a lot of time on this guy who throws a lot of stuff and flies very fast, and the other's willingness to decide it in one go suited him perfectly.

"Let me state first: no sneak attacks before each other's strongest moves are launched, and after the strongest moves are fired, neither side may dodge the other's strongest attack — can you accept these deciding conditions?"

"Can."

"Fine, then it's settled."

Seeing Broly agree, Gilgamesh breathed a slight sigh of relief; his strongest move lay in his Sword of Separation, but to launch an attack sufficient to break this monster boy's defense required the Sword of Separation to absorb magic power for a long time to unleash.

But the boy pursued tightly and was fast; just now he had been chased the whole time, so even if he took out the Sword of Separation, he had no time to let it charge; even if he barely managed to charge it successfully, with the other's speed, the Sword of Separation might not necessarily hit.

So Gilgamesh never drew Ea until now, when he was about to be forced into a desperate situation, and suddenly called a halt, proposing a one-move-decides-victory agreement.

Honestly, using such means against a child, even if this child is a genuine monster, is somewhat despicable.

But wisdom is also part of strength; the other party agreed, which only shows the opponent is young, naive, and inexperienced — not his fault.

The Sword of Separation fell into his hand; Gilgamesh began using it to absorb the Magic Power in the atmosphere, and at the same time, Tohsaka Tokiomi down below had long since awakened.

His whole body was covered in wounds; upon waking, he was informed that his own Servant had already fought that monster boy up into the sky.

"Time!"

"King of Heroes, have you achieved victory?"

"Not yet; this is a formidable enemy. I made a one-move-decides-victory pact with him."

Gilgamesh did not mention the situation of himself being forced into a desperate situation.

"Use up all the Command Spells in your hand; I need vast Magic Power to release my Ea."

"Ah, this……"

Tohsaka Tokiomi was somewhat stunned; if he consumed all his Command Spells, would he still count as a Master? "Stop thinking about that broken cup; if the guy in front of this King isn't dealt with, you may not necessarily survive."

Gilgamesh saw through his Master's thoughts and said with a cold snort.

"……"

Feeling the pain throughout his body as if falling apart, Tohsaka Tokiomi made a decision.

"In the name of the Command Spells, great King of Heroes, please defeat the enemy before you."

Tohsaka Tokiomi repeated these words twice with his somewhat leaky mouth, and the two Command Spells on his hand disappeared accordingly; they turned into vast Magic Power and surged through the Contract to the Heroic Spirit at the other end.

Ten thousand meters altitude belongs to the Stratosphere; originally the air currents here were stable, but with the rotation of the Sword of Separation's blade in Gilgamesh's hand, they gradually became unstable.

Magic Power filled by the Command Spells was still not enough; Gilgamesh was also using this portion of Magic Power to leverage the Magic Power of the entire Fuyuki City, causing all free-floating Magic Power in the atmosphere to gather upon his Ea.

And the result of this was to make the dark clouds in the Troposphere below that had not yet dissipated also begin to rotate, with an extremely large area of influence....

"Abnormal weather has appeared in the Japan Kansai Coastal Region……"

Weather Satellites of various countries flying in orbit discovered this abnormal weather change.

"Director, something big has happened."

United States Special Investigation Bureau; following a subordinate's report, a Spy Satellite also projected the footage captured from high above Fuyuki City.

"OMG, is this something a human can do?"

Looking at the two people at the center of the abnormal weather in the footage, especially the terrifying scene of Gilgamesh's Sword of Separation affecting the weather, the Investigation Bureau staff exclaimed.

"That should not be a human, but a Heroic Spirit; according to Intelligence Bureau information, there are three Magecraft world prestigious families in that place, conducting a secret ritual called the Holy Grail Ritual."

"Are you fucking kidding me, this also counts as a secret ritual?"

"Uh……"

The intelligence officer who spoke the Holy Grail Ritual information was at a loss for words; the commotion on Fuyuki City's side is so great that probably any country with a Weather Satellite knows about it.

"Get in the cart quick."

"What's wrong, Rider?"

Suddenly hoisted onto the Ox Cart by the big man, Waver still hadn't figured out the situation.

"We're making a strategic retreat."

Iskandar explained in one sentence.

"Eh, why?"

"See those clouds overhead? Feel the Magic Power in the atmosphere all gathering upward?"

Iskandar pointed at the void appearing overhead and asked.

Waver nodded, but he still didn't understand why they had to run.

"The King of Heroes up there has probably gotten serious; if he truly unleashes his strongest Noble Phantasm smashing down, with the scale the opponent has currently created, this city will likely be destroyed. If we don't run far away now, I'm afraid there won't be a chance to run later."

"Wait, you're saying this was caused by Archer?"

Waver's eyes widened.

"Of course; I remember his presence, alright, no time to talk, hold on tight! Giddy-up~"

The Ox Cart started, a single rider leaving dust behind, running toward the direction away from Fuyuki City.

"You don't need to prepare?"

Magic Power had gathered more or less enough; Gilgamesh looked at Broly on his left side who had done nothing, seemingly just floating dazedly in the sky watching him, and couldn't help but ask.

【What do I need to do?】

Broly was a bit puzzled, but then suddenly realized, and immediately flew from Gilgamesh's left side to his right side.

"What are you doing?"

Gilgamesh frowned and asked.

"Since ancient times, the left side loses in a beam clash, so I'm standing on the right."

Broly replied seriously.

Gilgamesh: "……"

This answer left him not knowing what to say.

"You're not preparing your strongest move?"

He asked.

"I'm already prepared; look."

Broly spread open his right hand, revealing a tiny energy ball, like a glass bead.

He didn't know what his strongest move was, but he knew compressed Qi could condense an Energy Bullet with greater power.

And this deep green Energy Ball the size of a glass bead was the limit of what his current control could compress Qi into.

Gilgamesh: "..."

Although judging that kind of exploding Energy Bullet by appearance was a bit not good, at this moment this King of Heroes still felt victory was in his grasp — oh no, it should be said to be a win without merit.

Look at the big commotion from gathering Magic Power on this side, then look at the little glass ball silently produced on that side.

"Aren't you going to prepare a bit more?"

"I can no longer compress Qi into it; if I compress Qi further, it will explode."

"Alright then, so, are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Recite the origin, when heaven and earth opened, the Void also offered congratulations, the Sword of Separation that tears the World, this time your Enemy is only one, but he is a Strong Enemy sufficient to release you..."

Powerful Magic Power gathered on the Sword of Separation, reddish-brown lightning raging.

"Your name is Broly, right?"

"Mm."

"Broly, I come."

When Gilgamesh launched his strongest attack, he even specially reminded him with one sentence, then pointed the Sword of Separation at him.

"Enuma Elish!"

Terrifying reddish-brown energy poured out wildly from the Sword of Separation.

In response, Broly merely threw the Compressed Energy Bullet in his hand.

The moment energy touched energy, the glass-bead-sized Compressed Energy Bullet began to inflate.

In just the blink of an eye, the wildly bombarding reddish-brown energy was swallowed by the inflating Compressed Energy Bullet.

Gilgamesh's eyes widened, the thought "Could the beam clash really lose on the left" flashed in his mind, and his body was destroyed by the extreme energy.

Broly's Compressed Energy Bullet's momentum undiminished, it directly gave the Type-Moon World's Earth a beautiful middle parting, then headed for the Universe, and before truly flying far, it grazed the Type-Moon World's Moon, incidentally taking away one tenth of the celestial body.

A certain Princess sleeping in the Thousand-Year Castle was directly startled awake, came to the window and raised her head to look at the Moon above which was now missing a small piece, felt a pang of heart palpitations, after all, her Main Body was almost gone.

"Gurgle..."

The fight was over, and Broly's Stomach was also hungry; he had condensed excess Qi, consuming quite a bit of Physical Strength.

Drifting down from the Sky, Broly's Clothes were tattered, yet no one dared to underestimate him.

The matter of eating can wait; someone else's old father hasn't finished his lesson yet.

Broly raised his small Fist, menacingly walking toward Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"No, don't you come over!"

This was a pure Violence Education; the severely injured Tohsaka Tokiomi was beaten again, and under Broly's wonderful violent persuasion, the adoption matter was dropped.

Of course, the more important reason was the Servants were all gone; Tohsaka Tokiomi counted as having retired from this Holy Grail War, and in this situation still giving his daughter to someone else, he wasn't crazy.

Although Zouken Matou had ulterior motives, when Broly's unkind gaze looked over, he hurriedly accompanied it with a smile and presented Young Sakura with both hands.

Joke, who would become hostile with such a terrifying Monster for a talented child, do they think their life is too long?

The post-rain Sky was very beautiful; Broly stood under the Sunlight somewhat refracted by Water Vapor, and said to Young Sakura: "I helped you steal back your Home, you can return home now."

Young Sakura stared blankly, Happiness Value skyrocketing; finally, she couldn't help it, pounced toward Broly, embraced the boy's Neck and cried: "Broly Brother, I don't want to go home, that's not my Home, I want to go home with you."
