When all seven Servants on the opposite side appeared, when Kiritsugu Emiya was sealed in the Workshop!
Gilgamesh became the target Kisaragi Rin's side had to prioritize eliminating!
The reason for this was simply that the power Gilgamesh could theoretically unleash was too immense.
If all the various existences on this timeline had truly vanished, then couldn't Gilgamesh unleash a full-power [Sword of Rupture] without any hindrance to deliver a planet-destroying attack on this world?
As for EMIYA wanting to protect Fuyuki City's citizens?
That was only possible if there was still a chance to protect them.
If he discovered he couldn't defeat Kisaragi Rin, Kisaragi Rin believed that EMIYA, influenced by the Corrupted Holy Grail, wouldn't mind sacrificing some ordinary people.
Or rather, he would definitely treat Gilgamesh as the button to activate a nuclear weapon, using this as leverage to force Kisaragi Rin to stop and begin a new round of negotiations.
Moreover, the core tactical approach against Emiya Shirou was Medusa, but after Medusa fused with Gorgon and Anna, a weakness of hers was also magnified.
That was her [Divinity]. To prevent Gilgamesh's Chains of Heaven from directly binding Medusa, He was also an existence that had to be dealt with!
With this consensus, when the battle began, Esdeath and Medusa were both waiting for an opportunity.
When [Noble War Chariot] and [Pegasus] crisscrossed in the sky, the battlefield instantly shifted!
In an instant, countless terrifying ice shards appeared around EMIYA, the coldness approaching the power unleashed by the Noble Phantasm [Demon God Manifestation].
Absolute zero caused even magic to freeze, and hundreds of [Pseudo-Immortal-Slaying Blade] seemed to lose their fire.
After all, [Immortal-Slaying Blade] was only a B-rank Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm without special effectiveness.
"Ice River Cavalry!"
Surging cold air wrapped around her rapier, Esdeath stared coldly at EMIYA, who was about to be hit. Since she had no means of killing EMIYA, she didn't expect to kill him in one blow; she only needed to interfere with his thoughts on observing the battlefield.
And Medusa's [Immortal-Slaying Blade] was already hovering over Gilgamesh's neck.
"Don't!"
This cry came from Emiya Shirou.
The changes on the battlefield were too rapid, and as a vessel, he didn't have much observational ability, so he naturally left the battlefield to EMIYA.
When [Terrifying Roar] swept through the Reality Marble, he became the only one unaffected.
Noticing EMIYA's predicament, Emiya Shirou suppressed his discomfort while funneling the Corrupted Holy Grail's magical energy more fiercely.
Moreover, as the de facto Master of the seven Servants, Emiya Shirou could do more.
Such as directly recalling these Servants.
"Emiya Shirou, you don't need to learn how to command; that's not something you can easily learn right now. You just need to recall the defeated Servants into your body and wait for the right moment to deploy them again."
These were EMIYA's words to him, and Emiya Shirou always kept them in mind.
As Medusa's [Immortal-Slaying Blade] tore through Gilgamesh's neck, Emiya Shirou's recall command had already been issued!
Just as Medusa's [Immortal-Slaying Blade] sliced through the black mud, sending Gilgamesh's head flying, with a whoosh, the Corrupted Holy Grail's magical energy formed a sphere and enveloped Gilgamesh.
Failed?
It didn't matter, Medusa would simply change her target.
Medusa's [Pegasus] circled three times in the name of Death on the battlefield of the [Army of the King]!
This time, the target was Iskandar!
The ten thousand Servants he summoned were truly rare nourishment, instantly dissolved by Medusa's [Pandemonium Cētus], resulting in Medusa now galloping across the battlefield with almost no lack of magical energy.
Iskandar is a Rider; although he also possesses a powerful close-combat Noble Phantasm, he is ultimately not proficient in it. EMIYA was very worried that he would be instantly killed as soon as he encountered Medusa, just like Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.
When the Servants in the [Army of the King] died, he remained in the rear, his duty merely to maintain this Reality Marble!
"When I display the power of the Pandemonium Cētus before you, you must know that you won't summon Servants again to give me a chance to absorb magical energy."
"So, die!"
[Immortal-Slaying Blade] circled three times, and the scythe, carrying Iskandar's head, declared victory.
[You have killed Rider - Iskandar]
[You have obtained Iskandar's treasure chest]
[Your quest - The Eighth Servant That Shouldn't Exist completion has increased]
At this moment, EMIYA, whose body had been pierced by Esdeath's ice crystals, also regained his senses.
"Emiya Shirou!"
He shouted, he unleashed his Noble Phantasm, and then EMIYA glimpsed Emiya Shirou's condition.
As Gilgamesh was forcibly recalled, sweat continuously rolled down Emiya Shirou's forehead.
The Corrupted Holy Grail's instability had already occurred...
"..."
Saying nothing more, EMIYA's gaze scattered across the battlefield.
Kiritsugu Emiya was transferred away, Iskandar and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne were instantly killed, and those two, Lancelot and Gilles de Rais, couldn't take down Saber anytime soon.
The current front line only had him and the injured Gilgamesh, while on the opposite side there was an unfamiliar Medusa, an unfamiliar armored Servant, and a Medea who could cast a Reality Marble.
"Retreat..."
"Since the opponent came from that place, there must be similar people in this world. He has such strength, so others should be more or less the same."
"Retreat... Seek an opportunity..."
The tactic was thus, but the current problem was that EMIYA simply couldn't retreat!
They were currently inside a Reality Marble, not outside in Fuyuki City.
Close the Reality Marble and leave directly?
EMIYA wanted to, but this Reality Marble was no longer under his sole control.
With Iskandar's death, this space was left only with [Unlimited Blade Works] and [Spiritual Palace] in contention. Before this contention ended, EMIYA couldn't just leave as a matter of course.
This was also why Kisaragi Rin and Medea wanted to seize weather control from the beginning.
"So what should I do?"
EMIYA was thinking, but suddenly discovered that something was forcibly squeezing into this Reality Marble.
