━━━━━

As Mika crawled out from the rubble, he faced two distinct paths.

The first was to swiftly escape the Type-Moon world and return for revenge after his injuries had fully healed.

The second was to strive to create an opportunity, to attempt a reversal of the dire situation.

Initially, Mika favored the first option.

As someone capable of traversing between worlds, he saw no need to engage in a desperate struggle against Gilgamesh. After all, Gilgamesh was a Servant who could utilize Command Spells to restore his condition.

However, as Gilgamesh continued speaking, Mika's resolve wavered.

Although Gilgamesh's words weren't intended as a provocation, they had that exact effect on Mika.

"It's not as if victory is impossible. I haven't reached my limits yet. Why should I flee?"

With this thought, Mika's eyes, hidden beneath his helmet, hardened with determination.

He would turn the tide of this battle!

"Mika, do you still intend to fight?"

"Although Airmid's healing magic has restored your body to a minimally functional state, it's merely a superficial recovery."

"In reality, your internal organs are withered and require a significant amount of time to fully regenerate."

Gabriel, who had remained by Mika's side throughout the ordeal, spoke seriously upon regaining consciousness.

She understood the dire state of Mika's body better than anyone.

"Furthermore, don't forget that my ability to transfer magical energy to you relied on the Magic Circuits within your body. But you must have realized by now, haven't you?"

"Your Magic Circuits have been completely burned out."

During the previous attack, (Heavenly Fire: Annihilation), it wasn't just Mika's body that had been incinerated; even his equipment had been reduced to ashes.

Currently, Mika's body, concealed beneath his armor, was completely exposed.

With the destruction of the combat suit Gabriel had prepared, the virtual Magic Circuits within Mika had vanished.

In this state, he was unable to receive the magical energy Gabriel could provide.

Moreover, all the energy within his body, be it spiritual power, Od, or magical energy, had been nearly completely exhausted.

Due to the internal damage, his energy regeneration was also incredibly slow.

Therefore, Mika was in no condition to face Gilgamesh in battle.

"No, I can still fight."

Although Mika's body could no longer handle magical energy, the enhancements and blessings bestowed upon him by Merlin remained.

Gabriel had quickly used her own magical energy to sustain them when the situation had become critical.

Without them, Mika wouldn't stand a chance against Gilgamesh.

But as long as they remained, Mika could still fight.

"Gabriel, give me that holy sword."

Gabriel was momentarily stunned by Mika's request before reluctantly retrieving the indestructible holy sword from her dimensional pocket.
