Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey - Chapter 493
The golden hilt and blue-patterned handle made the sword look more like a noble decorative piece, an ornate but impractical artifact.
Looking further up, the black cylindrical blade, entwined with red patterns, had fine lines running through it as if it could be broken apart at any moment.
The entire “sword” was quite peculiar, more fittingly described as a “staff.”
Gilgamesh, expressionless, moved his wrist slightly, and the Sword of Rupture seemed to respond!
The black cylindrical blade began to rotate from the fine lines, creating unimaginable wind pressure!
His golden hair fluttered wildly in the wind as Gilgamesh stared directly at Iskandar.
“To die by the Sword of Rupture is a fitting end for a hero.”
As he finished speaking, the wind pressure around them intensified, seemingly strong enough to disturb the very fabric of space!
His crimson pupils contracted!
“Enuma Elish!”
With the declaration of the Noble Phantasm’s actual name, the whirlwind surged to an unimaginable level!
From the “Nightmare’s” perspective, Kurumi could vaguely see a spatial crack flash at the center of the bridge!
Though it was only for a moment, the “Nightmare” quickly captured it!
Kurumi, sitting in the cockpit, raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t sensed any spatial energy from the “spatial crack.”
What was going on?
Her brows furrowed, unable to figure it out.
Within “Ionioi Hetairoi,” the army had already launched their charge, with Iskandar riding his steed at the forefront, wielding his sword!
His heroic followers, transformed into spirits, charged towards Gilgamesh with high spirits.
The Sword of Rupture is a world-destroying Noble Phantasm, with a range of 1 to 99, capable of capturing up to 1000 targets.
The army of Iskandar’s “Ionioi Hetairoi” far exceeded this range, but Gilgamesh didn’t use it on them directly!
The attack from the Sword of Rupture destabilized the very space of “Ionioi Hetairoi.”
In the vast yellow desert, the ground shifted, collapsed, and split into massive chasms!
The sand swallowed the army, burying them deep beneath the earth! The sky gradually cracked like a giant beast devoured the entire world!
The army suffered heavy casualties; except for the King of Conquerors, almost everyone was consumed by the sand.
Within “Ionioi Hetairoi,” the sky’s cracks widened until they suddenly tore open!
The illusionary desert disappeared, replaced by the bridge in Fuyuki City.
Those black cracks were the colors of the night sky.
The King of Conquerors fell silent. As he halted halfway, his steed sensed his mood and gradually stopped.
He spoke to Waver, who was also on horseback, in a heavy tone, but Kurumi was uninterested in their tragic romance.
Her eyes stayed on the screen, data flashing, and Kurumi captured vast amounts of information and processed it for useful insights.
The bluish light from the screen illuminated Kurumi’s face, with data reflected in her eyes; even her long eyelashes seemed surrounded by a layer of light.
“Red Queen, have you found the specific reason?”
“Not yet. The Main God has not provided specific information either!”
Her beautiful wine-red eyes were filled with an inexplicable expression, a profound thought that was hard to read.
“How could there be no spatial fluctuations?”
“They seem so similar…”
“Master, there are only two guesses now.”
Kurumi looked up, seeing the chibi Red Queen on the screen.
“One, this realm’s spatial laws are extraordinary. It sounds far-fetched, but I kept it as a possibility.”
“Two, the Hero King’s Noble Phantasm, the Sword of Rupture, Ea, even when its true name is released, might not have the ability to manipulate space!”
Kurumi nodded slightly. “In terms of spatial defense, this world is more stable than the Marvel universe.”
The chibi Red Queen continued, “Preliminary estimates suggest if the second guess is correct, then the Sword of Rupture’s world-splitting power is a lie.”
Kurumi rolled her eyes, speechless. “That’s just a name Gilgamesh came up with himself. Any other guesses?”
“Uh… other guesses aren’t very reliable, but the second one, the Sword of Rupture might be using wind pressure to simulate spatial cutting.”
Kurumi nodded. If this “most reliable” guess was wrong, then it was an error in their calculations.
She wouldn’t be too worried if the Sword of Rupture could tear space apart.
As a favorite of time and space, even if she couldn’t resist, she could still protect herself without any pressure.
But if the Sword of Rupture used wind pressure to simulate spatial cutting, that would be troublesome.
In her divine state, only “Nightmare” could resist the “Chains of Heaven,” allowing her to act without worry. Otherwise, with the divine power seed in her…
If entangled by the “Chains of Heaven,” there would be two possible outcomes.
One, she could easily break free, though the chances were slim.
Two, she would be tightly bound, unable to move!
Kurumi felt the second possibility was high. If the “Chains of Heaven” entangled her and sealed her divine power, and “Nightmare” failed, Gilgamesh could easily wipe them out!
Though the scenario was somewhat exaggerated, never underestimate the enemy, especially when they hold your weakness!
“Master! Next, please suppress your divine power fluctuations entirely!”
Kurumi squinted her eyes. The scene observed by “Nightmare’s” electronic eye was transmitted to the virtual screen, where Kurumi saw the mighty figure of the King of Conquerors charging towards Gilgamesh on his black steed!
‘Where’s his Gordius Wheel?’
Kurumi couldn’t help but wonder. Even if Gilgamesh could easily break it, it could still buy some time!
Such a suicidal attack method, could it be that… the King of Conquerors had lost his resolve?
Impossible.
“Clang! ——”
The black lacquered hand armor had reached behind, pulling the heavy spear from the bone wings!
Sparks flew, but the two fighters paid no attention!
Kurumi suppressed the vortex of spiritual power within her, her eyes fixed on the screen.
“Red Queen, once the King of Conquerors is bound by the ‘Chains of Heaven,’ don’t give them a chance to talk. Kill Iskandar immediately! Then… focus entirely on the ‘Chains of Heaven’!”
“Understood!”
“Nightmare” gripped the heavy spear. For such a high-response situation, Kurumi handed over control to the Red Queen.
Would the King of Conquerors have any regrets?
To Kurumi, it didn’t stir any sympathy.
As for Lancer, that was a side mission!
She was a Reincarnator, after all!
