Chapter 285 The Vain Hanging Gardens

Boom!

Accompanying the sound of that voice.

The building walls behind Lan Xi and Scathach suddenly shattered.

The next moment, a giant man, clad only in a fur skirt, nearly three meters tall, resembling a barbarian, emerged from behind the shattered wall.

His entire body was sculpted with muscles, chiseled and defined. His eyes were blood-red, and with each breath, white mist billowed from his mouth.

Even without doing anything, his mere presence exuded a ferocious aura.

A Berserker!

Then…

The instant the Berserker broke through the wall and emerged, he raised the battered axe in his hand and swept it forward with great force.

*Puff!*

There was no chance for any reaction.

Lan Xi stood there, and his entire head tilted sideways, followed by…

*Thump!*

Lan Xi's head fell to the ground, rolling to the side.

His wide eyes stared blankly at the sky, his expression one of never closing his eyes in death.

Soon, his headless body also fell to the ground. At his arm, the magic crest began to disappear with Lan Xi's death.

Scathach's body began to fade.

Scathach silently lowered her spear and looked at Gilgamesh, saying, "It seems you won't have the chance to kill me. I still haven't found anyone who can kill me."

The moment Scathach finished speaking, her body had become semi-transparent.

In the Holy Grail War, if a Servant died, the chosen master could still continue fighting through their own strength and wouldn't be immediately eliminated.

However, if the master died, it naturally meant the end of their journey in the Holy Grail War.

The summoned Servant would then disappear due to the master's death.

Therefore, Scathach gave up on continuing the fight, as it was meaningless.

Soon, Scathach's body completely vanished.

All that remained around were the scattered red halos that fell as the blood spear dissipated.

"Ah, ah, ah…" Seeing Scathach disappear, Gilgamesh suddenly became enraged. Standing on the rooftop, he roared furiously at the ground below, "Mongrel, who permitted you to interrupt this king's battle? Vermin, you will pay the price for this!"

In Gilgamesh's eyes, the interruption of the battle and his inability to kill Scathach represented his failure!

Incompletion was defeat!

And for the King of Heroes, failure was unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable!

Because this was the pride of the King of Heroes!

Gilgamesh waved his hand forward, and the golden barrier behind him erupted with a golden radiance.

In an instant, the golden barrier expanded several times, extending to both sides.

Then…

Golden ripples appeared on the golden barrier, one after another.

Countless weapons emerged from the ripples, several times the previous number, densely packed, making one's scalp tingle.

"Die, mongrel!"

Gilgamesh roared in anger, and then the weapons began to rain down.

*Boom, boom, boom!*

As the weapons fell, continuous explosions resounded.

The weapons struck the ground, causing it to immediately collapse. Numerous rock fragments plunged into the underground sewers.

The weapons struck houses, instantly pulverizing them. The entire building tilted and collapsed, turning into ruins, a large cloud of smoke and dust billowing out, forming a haze.

Bai Ye waved his hand in front of him, fanning away the dust.

A moment later, the swirling dust scattered!

The building in front of them had completely collapsed, turning into piles of rubble.

The muscular giant sat in front of the ruins, his head bowed, covered in weapons from head to toe. Crimson blood flowed from his wounds, dyeing his entire body red.

He looked thoroughly dead!

Bai Ye couldn't help but glance at Gilgamesh. This guy seemed truly angry, having instantly killed him with a single blow!

This was a Berserker!

Not an Assassin, not a Caster, but a Berserker!

But…

"Berserker, rise!"

That clear female voice echoed again, though no one appeared. Then…

"Ugh!"

A low, hoarse groan sounded.

The Berserker, who appeared to have breathed his last, actually let out a sound again. His body twitched, and he opened his mouth, exhaling two puffs of white mist.

The next moment, the Berserker grabbed the weapons stuck in his body and pulled them out one by one, tossing them aside.

"Noble Phantasm Twelve Trials. It possesses the effect of bodily resurrection after death. The only way to kill someone with Twelve Trials is to kill him twelve times."

Gilgamesh looked down at the opponent and said, "I know your name now, the legendary demigod, son of Zeus who completed the Twelve Trials, Hercules!"

"Ha!"

Hercules gasped. After pulling all the weapons from his body, he picked up his axe, swayed, and stood up again.

Gilgamesh sneered and casually waved his hand. Countless weapons reappeared within the golden barrier.

"It doesn't matter. I just need to kill you eleven more times," Gilgamesh said. "It's nothing more than the struggle of a vermin wanting to live a little longer."

As Gilgamesh spoke, he prepared to attack again.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye was carefully observing his surroundings.

Hercules was being dealt with by Gilgamesh; Bai Ye didn't need to worry about that.

What Bai Ye wanted to do was find Hercules's Master!

That person was cunning, sending Hercules to ambush and kill Lan Xi and fight Gilgamesh, while hiding in the shadows and unwilling to show themselves.

This strategy was easy to understand. A Servant's death didn't mean elimination, but a master's death meant the end of everything.

Therefore, the opponent prioritized their own safety, even if Hercules might have to fight two opponents and had even died once.

Bai Ye did not intend to let the opponent have their way and naturally wanted to find a way to reveal the person.

But at this moment…

A shadow suddenly appeared, casting a pall over everyone.

The surrounding space instantly turned pitch black.

Bai Ye showed a hint of surprise and then looked up sharply.

"A garden?"

In the sky, a massive garden had appeared, slowly drifting through the air. Around the garden were twelve colossal stone pillars, carved with deep crimson magic runes.

Gilgamesh frowned. "The Garden of Avalon?"

Suddenly, the instant Gilgamesh's words fell…

One of the stone pillars floating around the garden flashed with a blood-red glow, followed by…

A blood-red beam of light rapidly shot down towards the ground.
