Being injured again, along with the lingering power of the anti-divinity special attack within his body, made Gilgamesh increasingly irritable.
However, the oldest King of Heroes was a true veteran of countless battles; he was still able to sense the danger of this state of mind.
He forcibly bit his tongue tip, wanting to use the pain and the taste of blood to cool his nerves, but he failed to bite through on the first try, and bit too deeply on the second, making him even more irritable.
Failing to calm his emotions, Gilgamesh dared not stop his offensive against Jean Stardust; at this moment, he had already tried various Noble Phantasms to deal with his injuries, but they were useless.
Although the power of that blade seemed nothing special, and the two injuries were not fatal, the level of power attached to it was terrifyingly high.
Even after taking out a divine tool to remove curses, it only delayed the pain slightly and showed no signs of recovery.
Therefore, he had to finish off the young girl opposite him no matter what; if he let her run away, then this Holy Grail War could be declared game over for him.
Impatience coupled with urgency led Gilgamesh to finally make up his mind to use all his trump cards to eliminate the girl before him.
The golden spatial portals of the Gate of Babylon opened again; this time, not only were there a large number of Noble Phantasms, but also the chains left behind by his beloved, the Chains of Heaven.
"Fight with me — Chains of Heaven (Enkidu)."
The chains coiled toward Jean Stardust like living creatures, and those Noble Phantasms were not aimed directly at Jean Stardust but were used to restrict her movement.
In Jean Stardust's perception, these chains were somewhat unsettling, so without any hesitation, Jean Stardust chose to directly take the attacks of the Noble Phantasms to avoid the entanglement of the Chains of Heaven.
Just before Jean Stardust acted, a pitch-black, divinity-filled crystal ball emerged from the Gate of Babylon, overloading to shine an ultra-high intensity mental interference force onto Jean Stardust.
Although it was only for an instant, this interference force was repelled by the Stardust Wind, and the entire sphere burst, but this divine tool still created this momentary opportunity, causing Jean Stardust's step to fall half a step short.
That half-step difference allowed the Chains of Heaven to wrap around Jean Stardust's wrist, and at the same time, Jean Stardust clearly felt the power on her wrist begin to weaken.
"So, does that mean I count as a god?"
Jean Stardust was quite optimistic; although she didn't have that scent of divinity on her, it seemed some factor was being countered by the Chains of Heaven.
At the same time, a large number of chains extended over, beginning to wrap Jean Stardust up like a zongzi.
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh summoned the key to the Gate of Babylon, opened the deepest treasury, and took out a strangely shaped sword.
[Item Appraisal] Name: Enuma Elish (The Star of Creation that Splits Heaven and Earth) Grade: Creation — 4-Star ~ 12-Star Details: The creation sword, a sword bearing the name of the god Ea, a sword that manifests the act of splitting heaven and earth. Effect: Depending on the output and the support within the Gate of Babylon, at maximum, it becomes possible to re-divide the world. Remark: The essence of creating heaven and earth is the cutting of chaos, separating the world from complete chaos to form the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld.
This was the first time Jean Stardust had seen the word "creation" in an appraisal, and it was also the second time Jean Stardust had seen a creation sword; the previous one was Milim's creation sword, the Star King Dragon Horn Sword.
It looked like Gilgamesh was preparing to end this battle, but since Jean Stardust was so familiar with his intelligence, how could she not take precautions against EA?
Just as Jean Stardust was about to pull out the sphere she got from Bazett, an idea suddenly came to her.
Because of Rin's Diamond of Hope, Jean Stardust had saved the Sacrificial Domain without using it, and this moment was the perfect opportunity.
[Sacrificial Domain]
Jean Stardust, who was already a humanoid dragon, transformed her entire body into stardust crystals, turning into a wind tide to directly break free from the wrapping of the Chains of Heaven.
Just like that, she directly assaulted Gilgamesh's position.
Because of the obstruction of the large number of chains, Gilgamesh, who did not see Jean Stardust's specific situation, was half a beat slow in his judgment, and this half-beat decided the final outcome.
Jean Stardust restored her form directly in Gilgamesh's arms, and just like that, pressed against his body, she swung her blade, directly severing the arm he was holding EA with.
At the same time, she pushed the opening of the spatial pouch forward, taking both the severed arm and EA into the pouch.
At this moment, Jean Stardust could clearly feel that the connection between Gilgamesh and the flying ship was severed.
So, after leaving a smile in Gilgamesh's red eyes, she used the momentum, turned around, and plunged her arm, wrapped in Stardust Wind, directly into his body, gripping his heart, and piercing through his chest.
At the same time, the wind wrapped around her hand carried out secondary destruction, and only when his body began to disintegrate did Jean Stardust stop the attack.
"I won!" Jean Stardust proudly declared her victory.
Now Gilgamesh no longer had that madness or arrogance; at this moment, he clearly knew of his failure:
"Can a being with a broken body not be a king... Very good... It is your victory."
At this moment, Gilgamesh's heart was filled with mixed feelings; he had originally participated in the war again for revenge, thinking that his previous defeat was just his own carelessness, but now, with full preparations, he had been defeated head-on by an unrelated girl.
Being able to have a battle where he gave his all in the end made it all worth it. Although the grudge from the last war ultimately turned into regret, he had not had few regrets in his life, so he was somewhat used to it.
Just then, the power in the gem dissipated, the gloomy atmosphere receded, and Gilgamesh thought of the broken gems on the ground, realizing what had happened:
"So that's how it is; the result of the battle was decided from the very beginning... Since you have defeated me, you must win until the end... Remember, the greatest ene..."
Before he could finish his last words, Gilgamesh's body completely collapsed, turning into golden particles and disappearing.
"It doesn't matter; no matter who the enemy is, I will achieve victory."
The first Servant to leave the Holy Grail War was indeed the King, Gilgamesh, whom Jean Stardust had been guarding against the most, and he was also personally sent off by Jean Stardust.
This feeling of personally seizing victory was truly intoxicating, but before Jean Stardust could savor it, the entire flying ship began to tremble.
At this time, the magic power remaining on the Vimana was also exhausted, and it began to disintegrate and disappear, so Jean Stardust created wings again and descended slowly toward the ground.
Not far away, Lia and XX were still in a fierce battle. In Jean Stardust's appraisal, XX was of the Servant specification, only at the Fierce-High Rank. In terms of attributes, she was completely evenly matched with Lia, and the two were fighting to a stalemate, but it seemed XX was clearly better at dealing with Lia's swordsmanship, so Lia had been at a disadvantage in various ways so far.
Since Lia could be considered an ally for now, Jean Stardust intended to intervene to stop XX and see what her situation was, but suddenly, on the other side of the city at the location of Mount Enzou, a vertical golden light flashed, and a moment later, a rumbling vibration and a clear tremor were felt.
At the same time, Lia also turned into golden particles and disappeared; it seemed she had been summoned away by command spells, leaving only Jean Stardust and XX behind, staring at each other in confusion.
