Chapter 872: I, Yecheng, Proclaim You the Strongest Flash!
Chapter 872: I, Yecheng, Proclaim You the Strongest Flash!
As Sakura channeled her mana, continuously supporting the fan-shaped barrier before her, she stubbornly spoke.
Despite Sakura's decent magic circuits and considerable mana, under the powerful aftershocks, the Phantom Shield "Circular Gate Shield" in front of her, with its circular light curtain, soon displayed numerous visible cracks.
"Crack—!"
As it withstood wave after wave of impact, the circular light curtain eventually succumbed to the pressure, emitting a cracking sound before shattering into countless fragments.
However, just as Sakura and Alicefir were about to be blown away by the impact, Medusa arrived riding her Two-Legged Flying Dragon and commanded the dragon to use its back to shield Sakura and Alicefir from the blast.
The spherical energy halo wreaked havoc for over a minute before gradually subsiding.
The once lavishly decorated Einzbern residence had now completely transformed into a ruin. On the devastated ground, a large pit with a diameter of several dozen meters had mysteriously appeared.
On either side of the deep pit stood Yecheng and Gilgamesh.
"You, a miscellaneous practitioner, what kind of monster are you! With a human body, you're even tougher than an A+ ranked Noble Phantasm!"
Gilgamesh's expression was as unpleasant as it could get as he looked at the broken "Divine Declaration" in his hand.
He had thought that his last deadly shot would finish off Yecheng, but the outcome was...
An A+ ranked Noble Phantasm with its true name released, the "Divine Declaration," had been directly broken by Yecheng's bare hands in a head-on confrontation!
It was the supreme divine artifact of Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology! Moreover, this time, Gilgamesh had not only released the true name of his Noble Phantasm but also received the amplification effect of Black Jeanne's Noble Phantasm, 'My Wrath.'
With the combined power, the might unleashed by the Divine Declaration was enough to shatter his strongest defensive Noble Phantasm, the "Heaven Sealing Sevenfold Ring."
Yet, with such formidable destructive power, he still failed to eliminate Yecheng and instead rendered one of his few high-grade Noble Phantasms useless!
Although the "King's Treasure" had the ability to automatically retrieve itself, it lacked the capability to self-repair. The broken "Divine Declaration," even among his collection, was one of the top-tier items, and now it had been rendered useless, causing Gilgamesh to feel a deep sense of pain.
"Hero King, it seems I underestimated you before. I didn't expect that in these ten years, you wouldn't just be a gaming otaku.
With the strength you've just displayed, I am willing to acknowledge you as the strongest Heroic Spirit in the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars."
When Yecheng spoke these words, they were genuinely heartfelt.
After all, he hadn't anticipated that someone as arrogant as Gilgamesh would acknowledge his shortcomings and spend these ten years working to improve himself.
Yecheng was well aware that Gilgamesh had been summoned by the Holy Grail in various forms, including the current Archer-class Gilgamesh and his childhood form.
There was even a Caster-class version that wielded the "Tablet of Destiny." However, regardless of the class or the period, close combat had always been a weakness and shortcoming for Gilgamesh.
Previously, he had claimed that Hercules had surpassed his own legend, and the same could be said for Gilgamesh now.
At the very least, based on their recent encounter, while Gilgamesh might not be unmatched in martial arts, the skills he had honed over the past ten years were on par with the likes of Heroic Spirit Emiya.
With a vast collection of Noble Phantasms and an inexhaustible supply of mana, Gilgamesh had now overcome his close-combat weakness. Without exaggeration, the current Gilgamesh could be considered the strongest Flash in the Type-Moon Universe.
Being acknowledged for one's strength is generally a good thing, but as Gilgamesh listened to Ye Cheng's words, he couldn't help but feel irritated.
What did he mean by being willing to call him the strongest Heroic Spirit? It made him sound like he was inferior, and he was Gilgamesh, the oldest hero king of Sumer, who was already the strongest. Did he still need others to acknowledge this?
Although his "Divine Declaration" was interrupted by Ye Cheng's punch, Ye Cheng's arm was also shredded by the impact, and at this moment, it looked horrifying with blood and flesh.
If it were an ordinary character, suffering such an injury, Gilgamesh would probably feel confident of victory.
But since it was Ye Cheng, Gilgamesh was well aware that he possessed formidable self-healing abilities and healing magic.
As if to confirm Gilgamesh's suspicions, Ye Cheng, standing before him, began to rapidly regenerate his severed arm within a short period of their conversation.
In less than ten seconds, Ye Cheng's arm had fully regenerated, a vitality and regenerative ability akin to mythical monsters, causing Gilgamesh to furrow his brows deeply.
Even the A+ ranked "Divine Declaration" with its causality reversal couldn't defeat Ye Cheng, so using other Noble Phantasms would only be a waste of his collection.
Now that he had warmed up, it was time to settle the score.
Tossing aside the broken "Divine Declaration," Gilgamesh slowly retrieved his ultimate trump card, "Heaven and Earth Opening Star," from the golden ripples.
"Aren't you going to use that power-amplification secret technique to boost your mana for a short time?
Don't blame me for not warning you. I'm not the same as before. Don't wait until you don't even have a chance to use your power before my Ea slices you in two."
Ever since the beginning of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Ye Cheng had been Gilgamesh's nightmare. Now that he had changed, he was determined to defeat Ye Cheng's strongest form and avenge his past defeat!
"Even without your reminder, I would have done so, and this time, I will definitely send you back to the Holy Grail!
Our previous battle in the game seemed evenly matched, didn't it? But soon, I'll show you that reality isn't a game. Without your ability to spend money, your Hero King is just a novice.
Kingdom Punch x5—Activate!"
As red flames erupted from Ye Cheng's body, a terrifying mana current ravaged the entire arena. The ground beneath Ye Cheng's feet cracked extensively.
Numerous stones, influenced by the rising air currents, defied gravity and floated in mid-air.
Gilgamesh, at the forefront, couldn't help but be surprised as he felt Ye Cheng's unleashed mana.
During the final battle of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Ye Cheng had also unleashed this power, but his mana wasn't as awe-inspiring as it was now. Moreover, Ye Cheng had only released his mana when defending against the Parting Sword.
Feeling Ye Cheng's powerful mana up close, Gilgamesh clenched his teeth in frustration. Even with the support of the Greater Holy Grail, he realized his mana couldn't compare to Ye Cheng's!
