Chapter 38: 038: Ability Extraction, Borrowing the King of Heroes' Noble Phantasm!
"What's going on? Who's causing trouble in Konoha?"
"Unclear. Currently, there's only one enemy, who's definitely not from Konoha. He's wearing expensive golden armor, which seems to offer good defense against ninjutsu in addition to physical protection."
"Also, Danzo has already taken his men there and suffered a major setback. Captain, should we go and provide support immediately?"
Fugaku, Captain of the Konoha Police Force, was leading his team to investigate the scene of the incident.
After hearing this, he paused, then said loudly, "The enemy definitely didn't send just one person. Carefully investigate any suspicious individuals in the surrounding area and slowly encircle the Ninja Academy."
"Yes, sir!"
All the team members responded in unison.
Their marching speed immediately slowed down...
Meanwhile, Natsuki, who had already returned home, received feedback from the Evil King's Eye System.
…
[Ding! The true ability of the Evil King's Eye System has been activated. Yamanaka Ino summoned the Heroic Spirit - the Oldest of the Kings, the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, through a magic circle!]
[Through Evil King's Eye System extraction, you have obtained a 100% successful chance to summon a Heroic Spirit!]
[Through Evil King's Eye System extraction, you can borrow any usable Noble Phantasm of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, once every 24 hours.]
[Note: The Noble Phantasm you temporarily borrow will be temporarily unavailable to the King of Heroes.]
[Ding, detected that the currently available and in-use powerful Noble Phantasm of the recently arrived Gilgamesh is Vimana - the Heaven-Soaring King's Throne! Do you wish to borrow it?]
[The current Vimana cannot activate [Ancient Nuclear Warhead]!]
…
A series of messages came one after another.
Natsuki was overjoyed.
Little Ino, his little follower, had done a great job this time.
She had actually summoned Gilgamesh, an existence that was practically invincible among the Heroic Spirits of the Holy Grail War in the Fate world.
The abilities fed back to Natsuki were also exceptionally powerful.
Not to mention that he could also summon a powerful Heroic Spirit.
Just being able to borrow Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm once every 24 hours was an incredibly powerful ability.
For example:
Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm: Gate of Babylon!
Anti-World Noble Phantasm: Enuma Elish!
Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm: Sha Nagba Imuru (The Omniscient Omnipotent Star)!
Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm: An Gal Tā Kigal Shē (The King's Order / The Chain of Heaven)!
...
Each and every one was either incredibly powerful or extremely practical.
Moreover, after borrowing a Noble Phantasm, the King of Heroes would temporarily be unable to use it.
Just imagine the scene when the King of Heroes taking out the Anti-World Noble Phantasm: Enuma Elish, wanting to wipe out everyone in an instant...And suddenly it's borrowed by someone else.
The scene would be something worth recording.
However, the King of Heroes had just arrived, and many powerful Noble Phantasms were still unavailable.
From his memory, that Vimana was very impressive and fun. Why not borrow it for a spin?
And then use it to summon a Heroic Spirit?
After some thought, Natsuki, finding this feasible, finally confirmed in his mindscape the Noble Phantasm he wanted to borrow:
Vimana - the Heaven-Soaring King's Throne!
...
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
"That guy can actually fly!"
"Don't be afraid, we also have ninja who can stay in the air. And we have flying summons. We absolutely can't let this guy continue acting so arrogant."
"Even so, be careful of his dense attacks. It's very difficult for ninja to maneuver in the air, they're easily knocked down."
On the ground, Konoha's ninja and Danzo's Root ninja were talking amongst themselves, once again discussing countermeasures.
"Yo, it seems the moles are quite lacking in air power. This is to be expected. Always focused on digging holes in the ground, how could you possibly soar in the boundless sky?"
"Forget it, let's end this farce. This King has had enough fun and is feeling a bit sleepy. This time, I won't hold back against you."
Gilgamesh, sitting high on his throne, yawned and waved his hand dismissively, just like he used to dismiss his court.
The sky once again lit up with a dense array of golden ripples.
On a larger scale than ever before, scattered like stars, they suddenly illuminated the already dim night sky.
Just as Golden Boy was about to annihilate this group of ninja,
Suddenly, the Vimana beneath him vanished.
"What's going on? Who stole this King's treasure?!"
Gilgamesh's calm expression drastically changed for the first time.
Caught off guard, he fell from the high altitude.
The countless Noble Phantasms of the "Gate of Babylon" lost their aim and smashed down randomly.
Instantly, they mixed with the ninja's jutsu in a resounding bombardment.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the entire Ninja Academy gradually turned into ruins.
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh, using the continuously summoned Noble Phantasms as stepping stones, quickly descended in the distance.
He had unexpectedly lost his airborne Vimana and was simultaneously bombarded by powerful jutsu.
Even with the cushioning of the Noble Phantasms, the King of Heroes still landed somewhat awkwardly in a neighborhood block away from the Academy.
"Damn it! Don't let this King find out who the thief is, otherwise..."
Gilgamesh cursed angrily.
Looking up, what came into view was another team of ninja.
A team of ninja with crimson tomoe in their eyes.
Fugaku hadn't expected that, after making excuses to let his team members move slower so that the detestable Danzo would suffer more losses, such a surprise would come to him so unexpectedly.
The enemy had actually fallen from the sky, landing right before their eyes...
