COTM: AEFVTCLI Chapter 24
🕑 Added 2025-08-30 03:04:01 +0000 UTCChapter 24: Top-tier Servant, the most ancient King, Gilgamesh!
『 Night shrouded the pitch-black, desolate mountain cave.
Inside the cave, a bonfire burned slowly.
The pale-faced middle-aged magus stood by the magic circle, at the center of which lay a golden artifact resembling a key.
He stretched out his hand, a blood-red Command Seal appearing on its back, and chanted loudly.
“Set”
“By silver and iron as the essence, by stone and the Archduke of pacts as the foundation. Raise a wall for the wind that shall fall, close the gates of the four directions. Come forth from the Crown... And follow the forked road leading to the Kingdom.”
“Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill! Repeat five times.”
“But when each is filled, destroy it.”
“Hereby declare!”
“My will create your body... And your sword creates my destiny.”
If you heed the Grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me!
“AAAAAAHH!!!!” 』

【 Misaka Mikoto (A Certain Magical Index): “Is that a summoning ritual to summon evil monsters, like in the manga?!” 】
【 Elaina (Wandering Witch): “It's a summoning circle, yes, but it doesn't seem to be summoning an evil entity, does it?” 】
【 Mash kyrielight (Type-Moon): “Senpai, that man has a Command Seal on his hand. This is a Heroic Spirit summoning ritual!” 】
【 Fujimaru Ritsuka (Type-Moon): “Yes, that's right. And judging by the magical energy fluctuations, it seems to be an incredible existence.” 】
【 Chaotic Evil Gudako (Type-Moon): “Is that Gacha?! Gacha, Gacha, Gacha, Gacha, Gacha!!!” 】
【 Whitebeard (One Piece): “Kuhahahahaha, I don’t get a thing about these other worlds. Could someone explain them? And what exactly is the Holy Grail War?” 】
【 Merlin (Type-Moon): “Alright, let your big brother explain it to everyone~” 】
【 Merlin (Type-Moon): “The Holy Grail War is a fierce competition centered around the Holy Grail, designed to grant the victor's wish. Participants view the Holy Grail as an all-powerful wish-granting artifact capable of fulfilling any desire.” 】
【 Merlin (Type-Moon): “In the Holy Grail War, participants summon Heroic Spirits to fight on their behalf. These Heroic Spirits are granted modern knowledge to help them adapt to the contemporary world. The participants in the Holy Grail War consist of Masters and their Heroic Spirits, oh.” 】
【 Homura Akemi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica): “Holy Grail... wish-granting machine? Doesn't sound like a good thing.” 】
【 Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece): “Then can I wish for a lifetime of endless meat! Hahahahaha!” 】
【 Nami (One Piece): “Idiot! If you're going to wish for something, wish for a lifetime of endless money!” 】
【 Ushio Okazaki (Clannad): “C-can anything really be granted?” 】
【 Lady Avalon (Type-Moon): “Oh my, looks like a little loli with a wish. Big sister can tell you, theoretically, yes” 】
【 Aqua (KonoSuba): “There's really such a thing?! Then I wish to become rich!” 】
【 Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): “True to form, the first to defy the heavens! Goddess of Stupidity!” 】

“Holy Grail...”
A deep glint flashed in Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes.
When all this was over, he absolutely had to obtain the Holy Grail and bring true peace to this world!

Tohsaka Villa
“Another group of mongrels coveting this King's treasures!”
A dangerous crimson glow flickered in the Ancient King's serpentine eyes.
His treasures could only be used by him and his friends!

“Hmph, Holy Grail? Just the dregs of the Age of Gods, and someone still wants to use it to make wishes, how ridiculous.”
Morgan le Fay sneered, as if recalling a certain ahoge-haired figure.

『 “Boom—!” Magical energy raged, strong winds swept, and after the blinding rainbow light dissipated, a majestic and domineering Heroic Spirit clad in golden armor appeared at the center of the magic circle!
His handsome face was chiseled like a knife, his golden short hair stood straight up, and an indomitable aura of arrogance emanated from his crimson serpentine eyes.
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, sat upon a stone chair, looking down at the man before him with disdain and arrogance.
“It's done... Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha!”
Seeing that he had truly summoned him, the middle-aged magus covered his face and laughed uncontrollably.
It's stable, it's stable!!! If it's this one, then this Holy Grail War is within his grasp!!!
“Answer me, are you the arrogant magus who dares to seek my radiance?”
The King questioned.
“That's right, I am your Master,” the man laughed madly.
The next instant, the man's arm, bearing the Command Seal, was severed.
“So you're a clown. Then you must let out a more magnificent wail to entertain me,”
The King propped his chin with his hand, his face full of boredom.
From the darkness, a petite figure emerged.
The girl bowed respectfully and knelt.
It was she who had severed the middle-aged magus's hand.
“I humbly request the great King's permission for me to appear before your presence.”
“Granted. I bestow upon you the honor of an audience with me.”
“It is a great honor,”
The girl placed her hands in front of her, respectfully approaching Gilgamesh.
“You didn't let that mongrel's blood splatter before me, which is commendable, but you dared to let this unworthy piece of meat reek before me.”
“I'd like to hear what excuse you have,”
The King narrowed his eyes.
“None,”
The girl knelt on the ground.
“I was impolite. I merely thought that dealing with a thief who stole the key to the treasury did not warrant the King's personal judgment, so I took matters into my own hands.”
“This key?”
Gilgamesh snorted, glancing at the summoned key, a flicker of boredom in his eyes.
“Boring. Though I had someone forge it, I decided it wasn't necessary to use, so I tossed it aside.”
With that, Gilgamesh threw the pure gold key onto the ground.
The middle-aged magus tried to pick it up, but the girl warned him,
“Leave now, and I can spare your life.”
“Devour completely, curse erupt!”
The middle-aged man's expression twisted, his left hand glowing with dark, ominous magical energy, striking directly at the girl, but the girl showed no panic.
She slapped her hands on the ground, and a towering fire tornado devoured the man completely!
A moment later, a dried corpse lay in his place. 』

【 Tobirama Senju (Naruto): “Hahahahaha! Is that a ninjutsu without hand seals? Just clap your hands and whatever you call for appears, that's convenient!” 】
【 Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): “That old man was terrible. Not only was his magic evil, but his control was also bad. His death was well-deserved.” 】
【 Siduri (Type-Moon): “Such disrespect towards the King, this punishment is deserved.” 】
【 Red A ⦍EMIYA ⦎ (Type-Moon): “With this King summoned, this Holy Grail War will be interesting.” 】
【 Tezcatlipoca (Type-Moon): “Hehehe, the Ancient King of Heroes truly lives up to his reputation.” 】
【 Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach): “Is this King very strong? Where does he rank among Heroic Spirits?” 】
【 Merlin (Type-Moon): “Roughly, top-tier~” 】

“Ma... Mashu, when we go to the Seventh Singularity, remember to respect this King!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka's face was a little pale.
Clearly, he had gained some understanding of this King's temperament.

“Heh,”
Tokiomi Tohsaka showed a contemptuous smile, clearly mocking the dead fool.
Brother, facing such a living father, you're still so arrogant; you're truly brave.
Do you think everyone is a loyal subject beloved by the King?
Thinking so, Tokiomi proudly adjusted his tie.
To put it bluntly, he was the King's most favored subject!
