Chapter 59 Power (1/2)

[Madness Enhancement].

It was a Skill that was a characteristic of all Berserker Class Servants. As the name suggests, it gave up a portion of the users sanity in exchange for an increase in parameters all across the board. It may just twist a Servants personality, however the exchange for power most of the time came at a great cost.

Lu Bu, the famed General from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had some grasp over his Madness Enhancement, unlike the majority of Servants. Vlad III, the King of Romania became nothing more than a bloodthirsty vampire the moment his Madness Enhancement activated. The legend of the Impaler vanished, and Dracula came into being.

A Dead Apostle whose strength rivaled even the likes of Nrvnqsr Chaos, another Dead Apostle Ancestor who is the living mass of chaotic matter, created from the accumulation of 666 creatures.

But Enkidu wasn't a Dead Apostle. He was just a lump of clay, crafted by the Gods to be a deterrent against the keystone in the case that he betrayed the Gods. In the beginning Enkidu was neither name nor woman, just a monster whose happiness came from being free in the wild.

”!”.

A strange roar came from Gray's mouth as his white garbed robe vanished and strange tattoos covered his body. They were electric yellow, which paralleled heavily with Gilgamesh's red tattoos. A pair of strange looking horns broke through Gray's forehead before separating like branches, only a few inches each in length.

The flora around Gray grew uncontrollably in his presence. The trees that showed no signs of stopping covered the entire block in a single giant entwined tree that pierced the clouds above Metropolis.

Gilgamesh frowned at Gray's figure before looking up at the gigantic tree above them. Her tone was one of confusion, before she looked at Saber with a raised eyebrow.

”I don't recall my friend every possessing an ability like this. At the very least, this cannot be the Enkidu that I am familiar-”.

”Wrong”.

The female King of Heroes turned back to look at Gray, before noting that his body had vanished from its position, and appeared directly in front of her.

Those electric green eyes that appeared only when her best friend was either extremely angry in the presence of Ishtar were looking down on the King of Uruk. Her eyes widened and she tried to leap back but felt a hand hit the side of her face, sending her flying dozens of meters backwards.

”How dare you!”.

Gilgamesh regained her posture when she landed and instantly activated her [Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure], dozens of golden portals opening behind her, all aimed at Gray's figure which stared at her before vanishing once more.

Despite being a King and not a warrior, the Caster Servant felt a deathly feeling on the back of her neck and jumped forward once more, noting the loud sound of earth cracking where she once stood.

Gray, in his shirtless figure, still with the strange branch horns on his head stood tall as the od from his body rolled off him like lightning during a storm. The mana from the world supplemented his powers, and it was evident from a glance by the other Servants, that all his Parameters had reached A+ at the very minimum.

”The version of Ryougi Shiki that was born from the 「　」.... The General who became an Emperor after the Revolution.... The King of Lions who gave up the Sword in the Stone....

A twisted Heroic Spirit who gave their humanity in order to rule and world of ice and snow.... The female King of Heroes who I would come to call a friend...

The wife of a King, killing her husband with poison and ruling his domain with an iron fist..... And the General of Repetition, who hates betrayal, but would give up his best friend in order to succeed.... How cute”.

The brows of all the Servants in front of Gray furrowed at the words of the Pseudo-Servant, implying that he knows their identity. Archer raised his right arm and pointed it at Gray, and a massive canon appeared on the man's arm, magical power gathering in the barrel of the weapon.

Lancer removed her helmet and let her divinely beautiful face be revealed to the world. At the cost of using Rhongomyniad she physically changed to suit the appearance of such a goddess, yet her emerald green eyes were anything but happy.

Rider crossed his arms and harrumphed through his weirdly shaped tusk mask at the mention of his humanity been through away in pursuit of power.

Assassin merely smiled at Gray, not caring for her legend been revealed to the other Heroic Spirits she was standing beside.

Berserker just stood still behind Saber. A good General knows when to act, and when to bide his time and wait....

Caster just frowned, pulling back on the bow of Enki once more, as far back as her C Ranked Strength would allow. The words of Gray, had both caused her distress as well as angered the King of Heroes.
