-Town of Fuyuki.
Lawrence's POV*
Well, this is interesting. To think that stacking items would work like this. This is exactly my thoughts when I witnessed this baffling scene infront of me. Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms were just phasing through my body like it was nothing. It was just a fleeting thought but to think it really has an effect. I checked my items equipped and saw 6 Butterfly lying on there.
If 1 Butterfly made me invulnerable to attacks without the concept of True Hit on it then 2 Butterflies would cancel that weakness. What would happen if someone wear 6 Butterfly? Then they would become invincible. This is what I concluded after testing it myself. I am confident that even if Gilgamesh were to release EA right now, there would be no damage on me.
"Come on, King Gilgamesh. Do better" I said smirking mirthfully at the appalled King. He is probably dumbfounded right now, because from my knowledge, even Gods are vulnerable to his attacks. Especially if Noble Phantasms were the one thrown, it would cause even a slight damage to Divine Beings. Yet here I am not even receiving a small injury from the thousands of Phantasms he was throwing.
This is the same as spitting on the image of Gods. "Shut your mouth mongrel!" Gilgamesh shouted obviously impatient. He has been trying his best to do something to me for the past minute, whether Defense Breaking Phantasm, Sure hit Phantasm, or even Magic Destroying Phantasm. Nothing worked so far making the King piss.
Well, not my problem though as I am just enjoying myself watching him getting desperate. It is hilarious, after all you can't see this pompous king getting this worked up unless something really dangerous happens. "Is this it? I can't say I am not disappointed. I expected a lot from you after all. It broke every expectations I have" I commented gaining more anger from the guy.
"Quiet! Your speaking is making me furious!" Gilgamesh shouted revealing Gae Bolg from his Gate of Babylon before firing it at me with his speed. Well for others it might be unbelievably fast but for me, it was slow as hell. The Gae Bolg rushed to my body but the same thing happened as before, the barb spear just phased out my body exploding at the other side.
"Honestly, I can't enjoy fighting you at all. I prefer observing the others more as you are too boring for me. I really enjoyed your character first but now I've lost every interest on it" I said shaking my head. Gilgamesh ignored my words as he fired more Noble Phantasm to me, obviously it was futile attempt as I didn't even put up my guard.
Gilgamesh probably sensing the ineffectiveness of the matter turned off his Gate of Babylon. "I commend your tenacity for surviving this far. For that, I will give you the honor of witnessing my upmost strength. Be honored mongrel for you will be the first to behold this greatness in a while" Gilgamesh with his usual haughty way of saying spouted. He opened one rift and took out a key. This made me grin because I am aware of what will happen next.

3rd POV*
"Boy, doesn't it seem too quiet?" Iskandar asked Waver Velvet as he inspected the town. "Huh? How would I know?! Seriously, we should just plan first, the enemies are too strong!" Waver complained but as usual, he was ignored by Iskandar. "I feel like there is something happening without our knowledge. Come, let us investigate" Iskandar said waving his sword in the air.
A wind rift opened before his treasured chariot appeared. Iskandar jumped towards the chariot while grabbing Waver on his collar. "W-Wait! Are we going to rush to the enemies again? Isn't that suicidal?!" Waver trashed around trying to escape Iskandar's grip, however he was too weak to even resist. Iskandar gave a command to the chariot as it started flying through the sky.
Iskandar squinted his eyes trying to see if there was unusual going on with the atmosphere and after many minutes of searching, he finally found a response. "Oh! To think an intriquite field like this exist! Did Caster create this? Or maybe her master? We can only find out!" Iskandar descended to the place holding his sword, he was ready to pierce the barrier if it try to block him but to his surprise, they were able to enter without resistance.
"Hm? Did I mistake it for other thing?" Iskandar murmured thinking that he stumbled into other magus' work. Well, his thoughts were confirmed once he sensed various explosions occurring from many places. "Hah! To think that they didn't really invite me! Luckily, we managed to arrive before the event concluded" Iskandar smiled happily.
Waver was frightened by the explosions, he felt the intense heat even from how far they were. He was also amazed because he knew that the Bounded Field was small from the outside, yet when they came here it became much larger. He feels like the enlargening and the Bounded Field was the work of two different person. It would be a work of a monster if a single person created everything.
"Rider! P-Please slow down!" Waver shouted as Iskandar commanded the chariot to become even faster. They were about to get closer when something suddenly appeared in their front slashing the chariot in half. Iskandar quickly grabbed Waver and jumped from the chariot. After reaching the ground, Iskandar stared at the perpetrator only to find out that it was a girl on a maid outfit.
"Master said that I should handle anyone who try to get closer" Bea said assuming a stance that was all too familiar with Iskandar. "Hm? That stance… is the same as that woman called Shiki right?" Iskandar then remembered that he saw it from that intriguing woman. "Indeed, as a homunculus my master can freely mess with my system. He just happen to implement Lady Shiki's combat abilities on me resulting to this" Bea said closing her eyes.
"S-So you mean, you can reproduce the combat ability of that scary woman? That's crazy!" Waver asked while shaking at the fact. He himself saw how Shiki easily massacred the group of assassins without even breaking a sweat, knowing that it has been imitated is scary for him. "Indeed, I have to thank master for this opportunity" Bea nodded her head in affirmation.
Iskandar and Bea were about to clash when someone suddenly appeared at Bea's side. "Have you forgotten about me? I have come to deal with Rider as well" Anastashia said raising her chin. "Lady Anastashia… isn't this overkill? Will you not waste your time and just hand this task to me?" Bea asked quite concerned. In her opinion, Iskandar will easily be toyed if the two of them ganked against him.
Even if Iskandar releases his Reality Marble, it wouldn't really matter to them because of the items they possess. Black King Bar would simply cancel any Supernatural occurrences around them turning the Reality Marble to null. "Hmph that does not matter. He can simply called out his beloved soldiers to fight against us" Anastashia shrugged off.
The fight with Kiritsugu bored her so she wanted a more exciting fight. She thought that a Servant could at least create that interest for her. "Hey, hey. I still exist here. Would you mind not ignoring my existence" Iskandar asked scratching the back of his head. He was getting awkward being ignored by the two. He is still the King of Conquerors you know?
"Hm? Oh, right. Sorry about that" Anastashia remembered Iskandar's presence so she apologized. This became even awkward for Iskandar, it would have been better if they were just ignoring him but to think that they have completely forgotten about him was baffling. "R-Rider, there are two of them. Are you sure we should be fighting them? We should wait until one of them run away!" Waver asked trembling behind Iskandar.
Iskandar shook his head at that. "Weak boy! The more they are, the greater the glory! You musts erase that mindset as it will only hinder you in the long run!" Iskandar said patting the back of Waver. His hands was too heavy so the boy was forced to cough in pain. "Look at them. They are determined to fight us, as a King, how could I simply ignore that? I must respond in kind!" Iskandar shouted in determination.
Anastashia and Bea saw the change in Iskandar's atmosphere making them curious. "Are you ready to accept your lose King of Conquerors?" Bea asked brandishing a dagger that was close to the one that Shiki has. "I fear not! I will accept your challenge. I must see it for myself whether you are worthy of my respect or not" Iskandar proudly pronounced smiling at the two. The three stared at each other before showing an excited smile, ready for their incoming battle.
