High above Fuyuki City.

Standing steadily on his fighter jet, Mika skillfully maneuvered the Nen-transformed aircraft, engaging in a relentless aerial pursuit with Gilgamesh's Vimana.

As the target of the chase, Gilgamesh unleashed a near-constant barrage of Noble Phantasms.

However, for Mika's side, the true source of firepower wasn't the missiles mounted on the fighter jet but Merlin's magic cannons.

After all, the fighter jet's missile supply was finite, whereas Merlin's magical energy was practically limitless.

Currently, Gabriel clung to Mika's shoulder, invisible to the naked eye, silently converting magical energy.

As the intensity of the battle escalated and Mika, Merlin, and Lancelot continuously expended their magical power, Gabriel, who once passively provided magical energy just by being near Mika, now had to focus all her attention on the task of magical conversion.

"This can't go on. We need to find a way to break the stalemate," Mika said, turning to Merlin.

After losing Ea, Gilgamesh clearly had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation. He intended to fully utilize the versatility of the Gate of Babylon to overcome the combined might of Mika, Merlin, and Lancelot.

"Gilgamesh is employing guerilla tactics. He retreats whenever we pursue."

"If we don't pursue, he could carpet bomb us at any moment. We can't constantly be on the defensive, can we?"

"There's a saying: 'One can be a thief for a thousand days, but not guard against a thief for a thousand days."

"That's why he's practically invincible when he's serious," Merlin sighed, shaking his head.

As a precaution, Gilgamesh's Vimana was equipped with numerous anti-magic Noble Phantasms.

He currently had no effective countermeasures.

Seeing Merlin's helplessness, Mika turned his gaze back towards the rapidly advancing Vimana, lost in thought.

He began to recall everything he knew about Gilgamesh, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

In the end, he could only come up with one desperate solution.

Exploit his pride.

It was well known that Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, possessed an extraordinary level of pride and ego.

In the Fifth Holy Grail War, his arrogance had ultimately led to his downfall.

Gilgamesh had an absolute obsession with his treasures.

If he willingly discarded something, it was of no consequence.

However, if something was taken from him, he would relentlessly seek to reclaim it.

"Gilgamesh is extremely cautious right now. Ordinary weapons might not lure him back, but what about this?"

Mika glanced at his right hand, where the gauntlet holding Ea floated beside him, constantly maintained in its Nen-transformed state.

The conversion of Ea was still incomplete.

This was due not only to Ea's exceptional quality but also to Gilgamesh's interference through the Gate of Babylon's control over all weapons.
