Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!

Alcides drew his bowstring.

Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to Gilgamesh, on the other side, Tiné, located on the top of the building.

She also quickly made a judgment.

Although it was somewhat disrespectful, making this choice was necessary, even if it would incur Gilgamesh's displeasure.

At this time, almost every second counted.

And at such a crucial moment, another Heroic Spirit seized the opportunity to appear and delivered a divine punch to Alcides.

Divine energy accompanied the storm.

The sound of that wind being cut open made Alcides's ears tremble slightly.

"You're making your move at this time?

Attacking in this situation, Queen? ~You are truly brave."

Alcides's sights did not move away.

He still kept his eyes fixed on Gilgamesh.

Even if the punch that carried divine energy struck his abdomen, Alcides did not intend to let go of his prey.

Perhaps, it was precisely because he had [God Hand].

That was why he could exchange life for life like this.

At the same time as he was hit, he twisted his upper body and released an arrow.

As the sound of impact rang out, dazzling sparks bloomed on the main road at night.

While avoiding the attack as much as possible, he launched a life-threatening blow at Gilgamesh.

"—Alcides!"

The master who wields divine power appears.

Hippolyta rides a jet-black steed, leaping through the gaps between towering buildings, the pleasant sound of hooves echoing.

"You… what's with that appearance! To suppress the deathly poison with a curse, are you trying to slander the great deeds of those heroes!"

Hippolyta, upon seeing that Alcides' injuries had healed, also noticed the jet-black sludge emerging from his body.

Her almond eyes widened, filled with indignation.

"…"

Alcides did not respond to Hippolyta, instead staring intently in the direction of Gilgamesh.

The arrow had indeed created a large crater in the ground.

However, Gilgamesh was nowhere to be seen within it; surely that single arrow couldn't have completely annihilated him.

At the very least, some remains should have been left in the crater.

Especially since, at the moment the arrow left the bowstring, Alcides had sensed a surge of magical energy.

–Someone else had taken Gilgamesh away.

Snowfield, city center, hotel penthouse.

A few minutes earlier.

"Tiné, it's time to make a choice.

Although that Goldie is dazzling, at the end of the day, you are still that arrogant fool's Master. The final decision rests with you.

Even if Gilgamesh doesn't mention it, it's something he, as a Servant, can't avoid."

"Lord Gilgamesh…"

Tiné murmured, biting her lip.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw Gilgamesh, standing alone against the Avenger, pierced through his limbs by arrows.

After that, she saw the Einzbern's homunculus.

And the Berserker who had appeared at the factory.

Now, with Gilgamesh's Ea stolen, her perception of the Master-Servant bond grew fainter.

From the beginning, Tiné knew.

She must never forcibly use a Command Seal on that King.

If she took that step, she would antagonize him.

Peaceful communication, as before, would likely be impossible; that King possessed that level of pride.

Now, that rule was about to be broken.

Rather than allow that vile Avenger to tarnish the King's glory,

Tiné would rather bear the King's punishment.

"Lord Gilgamesh, with this Command Seal, I implore you to return to my side as quickly as possible! You must not fall here! You must not… be killed by that Avenger!"

Tiné said, as if suppressing a sob.

It was as if Gilgamesh, not she herself, had been defeated on the battlefield; her frustration and humiliation were genuine.

She truly placed herself in the position of a subject, heartbroken that she had to issue this command.

Almost at the same time as Tiné issued the command.

A Command Seal disappeared from the back of her hand.

Seeing this, Rin and Sakura exchanged glances, completing their communication through this simple gesture.

"Tiné, that arrogant fool is certainly infuriating, but all things considered, for the sake of him not boring us, and for your sake. Sakura and I will also step in to provide you with assistance."

"Assistance…?"

A look of confusion appeared on Tiné's face.

Before she could continue thinking.

Only moments after the Command Seal disappeared, a dim golden figure appeared before the three of them.

It was Gilgamesh, his armor shattered and broken.

With several arrows piercing his body, and his spirit origin plundered, he was nearing death!

"Gu… little girl… you issued the command…"

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow slightly.

Due to the snake venom, the look of pain and ferocity on his face was impossible to hide.

"Lord Gilgamesh! I, I…"

Tiné looked at Gilgamesh in such a miserable state.

Her expression began to turn pale.

Her petite body also began to tremble slightly.

At the same time, explosions erupted on the main street, indicating that other Servants were fighting Alcides.

Otherwise, even if Tiné had used a Command Seal to teleport Gilgamesh away.

The opponent would still be able to discover their location.

"Little girl… you're more interesting than I thought… I won't fault your decision. Look up, I told you to strive to make yourself a suitable soul, didn't I?"

"Yes…"

"In my eyes, you are just a child, regardless of whether you are aware of it or not. But… now it seems, you have the initial resolve to defy even me for the sake of survival and ideals."

"How dare I! I just…!"

Tiné wanted to explain something.

But she was stopped by a look from Gilgamesh.

He had already seen through her essence.

"No need to say more, do you think I can't see through that? Don't panic, I'm not blaming you, but praising you. You mongrel little girl, you've finally come to your senses…"

Gilgamesh grinned.

Then, his gaze shifted to the Tohsaka sisters, the expression in his eyes becoming complex.

If he wasn't mistaken.

The Amazon queen fighting Alcides was probably the Servant summoned by the two girls.

The thought of being saved by a student of Moran this time.

Made him feel a burst of frustration.

After this, he would probably be laughed at by that bastard for days.

More than worrying about his life, Gilgamesh, on the verge of death, was more concerned about losing face.
