Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: The Value of Misfortune

Gilgamesh now had an indescribable feeling, as if some innate advantage of his had vanished.

However, he couldn't pinpoint the specifics; anything related to the girl before him was a complete blank within the All-Knowing and Omnipotent Star.

It was as uncomfortable as an eraser wiping away the colorful world before him.

But Gilgamesh now possessed confidence; at this moment, he was connected to the modified Vimanas.

As long as he stood on the airship, his magical energy was nearly infinite, his injuries would recover rapidly, and combined with his already versatile Noble Phantasm, he was invincible.

"Come, witness this invincible power!"

Jean Stardust didn't know what Gilgamesh was so proud of; it was nothing more than a terrain advantage. However, in Jean Stardust's eyes, her own terrain advantage was overwhelmingly superior.

Jean Stardust, who controlled the wind, was extremely sensitive to wind direction. Just a moment ago, it was a headwind, but after the gem's space was activated, within seconds, the wind direction had turned into a tailwind.

This was just a minor detail, but before the gem's power was exhausted, such advantages would continuously accumulate, eventually becoming a monstrous wave that would overwhelm Gilgamesh.

Wrapping White Wind around her body, she advanced rapidly, launching an attack toward Gilgamesh.

This attack pattern repeated several times. Gilgamesh had already prepared in advance; two unknown polearms were held horizontally in front of him, blocking Jean Stardust's path, while a large number of Noble Phantasms began auxiliary attacks.

However, a silver wind wall rose up, and the strengthened "Wind Barrier" blocked all these Noble Phantasms directly at the exit.

In front of the Gale Swordmaster, projectiles were a joke.

Some Noble Phantasms that carried energy upon attack even exploded right at the exit, but being blocked by the Wind Barrier in front, they were bounced back into the space of the Gate of Babylon under the force of the impact.

Subsequently, several explosions sounded inside the golden space, and one exit even emitted black smoke, looking like an ammunition depot had detonated.

Gilgamesh clicked his tongue secretly; the sudden move of blocking the door caught him off guard, and it just so happened that several charged Noble Phantasms were prepared there, all exploding together.

The loss of his collection pained him, and the unfavorable battle made him even more irritable; his furrowed brows tightened further.

Seeing him like this, Jean Stardust almost laughed out loud.

Pressing the attack, Gilgamesh had to move the Noble Phantasm exits right now. This was her chance; she moved toward his central axis and unleashed a rapid Quick Draw Slash.

The power of the Quick Draw Slash was immense; the two weapons were severed directly, and at the same time, with unstoppable force, she slashed at his lithe body.

The attack unexpectedly landed successfully, but the golden armor suddenly exploded, negating the power of Jean Stardust's attack, and the repositioned Noble Phantasm exits ejected a large number of Noble Phantasms again.

Years of Monster Hunter experience cured Jean Stardust of her greed for attacks. Since the strike landed, she immediately retreated, but while retreating, Jean Stardust casually fired another shot of high-energy ammunition.

After the roaring explosions ended, both Jean Stardust and Gilgamesh were dripping with blood. However, unlike Gilgamesh, who had huge wounds on his body, Jean Stardust, wearing her own knight's uniform, only had scratches on her exposed skin.

Shiraori's spider silk performance was simply unparalleled.

On the contrary, Gilgamesh dared to wear armor like explosive reactive armor; although it reduced the damage from the slash, he still took quite a bit of damage from the explosions.

Added to that was a shot of high-energy ammunition from Jean Stardust's overture, leaving his entire body battered and bruised.

That said, just as both of them began to regenerate, Jean Stardust keenly noticed that the opponent's regeneration speed was actually faster than her own.

However, she was relying on pure life force, while Gilgamesh was likely using some Noble Phantasm.

It was just that when regeneration reached the slash wound, it wasn't as smooth. Although the blood from the gruesome blade wound had stopped, there were no signs of recovery.

"Anti-Divine armament! Damn it!!"

Gilgamesh was now absolutely furious. He, who hated gods the most, had been deeply wounded by someone using an Anti-Divine armament. This act itself was a silent mockery, mocking him for being a mongrel with divinity.

"Accidentally" falling into a dead end of thinking, the golden king began to rage, and a truly overwhelming number of Noble Phantasms appeared before Jean Stardust.

Golden halos surrounded Jean Stardust directly. Although Jean Stardust didn't know why the guy in front of her was so angry just from being injured, she used the Wind Barrier to form an identical shield, still blocking the door directly.

However, this time, the first batch of projected Noble Phantasms broke through the Wind Barrier; it seemed they were Noble Phantasms with corresponding special effects.

Under the effects of these Noble Phantasms, the Wind Barrier vanished directly, and a large number of Noble Phantasms rained down, attacking from all angles toward Jean Stardust.

Just as Jean Stardust was preparing to use the Sacrificial Domain to evade, suddenly, in the battle below between Lia and XX, someone fired a beam cannon, nearly hitting the airship. Under the vibration, these high-density Noble Phantasms collided and influenced each other like dominoes.

Before Jean Stardust's eyes, it was like fireworks; with a chaotic clattering sound, by the time they reached her, there were basically only a few left, which were casually parried and knocked away by the White Wind.

"Luck really is a terrifying thing."

At this moment, even Jean Stardust couldn't say for sure if these coincidences had anything to do with the gem Rin had.

Just then, Jean Stardust noticed a magical anomaly in Gilgamesh's direction. Looking closely, a red spear was charging up; perhaps the long time without a successful hit made him anxious.

Now he had even brought out a sure-hit Noble Phantasm. This spear was truly as familiar as it could get: Gáe Bolg.

It was a sure-hit, but the result this time was different from the last. Wearing the knight's uniform made by Shiraori, Jean Stardust didn't have the premonition of being pierced. Sure enough, the spear, transformed into red light, did not reach Jean Stardust's heart but stopped right in front of the clothing.

At this moment, how could Jean Stardust let such a huge opening go? She instantly moved forward and slashed again.

Now there was an X shape on Gilgamesh's chest. Accompanied by blood splattering, Jean Stardust retreated again, also upholding the principle of not being greedy for attacks. The Noble Phantasms that missed the spot where she had been previously proved the importance of this.

Standing firm at a short distance, looking at the disheveled Gilgamesh, Jean Stardust remained calm. Although it was obvious that even if the opponent's blood stopped again and his vitality was replenished, his magical energy was not lacking in the slightest.

The one who should be anxious shouldn't be Jean Stardust, but Gilgamesh, who could go directly to COS Ultraman X after only a few rounds of combat.
