Russell watched Gilgamesh using 'Observe' to find which areas the projectiles will hit. His clone was doing its best to make sure it protected Karla. Karla did her part as well, albeit sloppy, still not used to dealing with high-speed projectiles.
The King of Babylon seethed in rage. First, they stole his treasures, next they strike their king and now they insult him by turning his word against him. Tokiomi's concern of the mundane humans finding magic is real was no concern. What he wants the head of these dogs on a golden platter.
Tokiomi contemplated on using his command seal but threw that idea away.
The rest of the servants stayed away from the battle. The masters realized how dangerous Archer, Berserker, and Caster are. Archer with his Gate, Berserker with his wide array of skills, and Caster with his magic, dare they say it, a frying pan?
How is a cooking utensil withstand weapons of legend? Somewhere in the parallel verse of fate, Emiya Shirou didn't discover Unlimited Blade Works, but Unlimited Pans Works. But that story is for another time.
"You know how to piss off many people." Silver dodges a spear. Bright was taking shots with every chance he got with the portal Silver provided.
"How am I supposed to know he hates being called out?"
"Dude, It's Gilgamesh."
"Good point," Russell muttered.
With that, the duo then released a barrier, stopping the weapons. Everyone watched as the duo took their battle stance. It filled Russell with openings but to those with battle experience; they realized these were baits. Silver was more carefree but more versatile, ready to adjust any moment.
They recognized which of the two was the combat expert.
"They stopped? Why?" Waver said. "Wrong master, they didn't stop," Iskandar said. Waver gave his servant a confused look. "What are you saying?"
"Iskandar is correct, the fight has just begun," Diarmuid said. "Master, are you alright?"
Kayneith frowns, his eyes on Dr. Bright. How could someone with no magic become a master, let alone summon a powerful servant? "I'm fine, lancer, keep your eyes on those three."
Artoria only observed while making sure Irisviel was fine. This duel had attracted troublesome enemies, but this could be her chance to gain the information. Irisviel wanted to ask the silver servant, but Kiritsugu forbade her as it might give them reason to bring her into the war.

"It's starting," Artoria said.
As if her words were the signal, the two bolts off in blinding speed. Gilgamesh reacts and fires his treasures. Russell takes the lead and performs Levi Ackerman's move with Omega and Escanor, destroying all the projectiles.
Yes, he renamed his ax. Escanor made it, he named his moves after him so why shouldn't he name ax after its maker?
The Golden King grits his teeth and jumps off the lamp he was standing on before Russell's weapon can reach him. He didn't have time to shout his disdain as Silver was upon him with a lightsaber chainsaw.
Gilgamesh displayed an out of character move which was using his Gate at close range. Russell swings Omega in its whip form, forcing the king to retreat. The beast chases after him, bringing his ax down as the Demi-god pulls out a prototype weapon.
Silver summons a tentacle with a metallic hook, deflecting the weapon away from his friend. Russell redirects a prototype Gae Dearg with Vector Kata and summons his familiar to act as anchors for his Tricks.
Gilgamesh watched as the Berserker teleported to his blind spot. Caster was providing distraction with his bizarre magic. Russell lands two punches as Silver blinded Gilgamesh with a flashbang.
"Damn Mongrels!" The king roared. Receiving a kick to the face, the duo turns to the culprit. "Nice one, Karla," Russell said with a grin before the three charges in.
Gilgamesh then fires off a barrage of weapons from above and below. But this something Russell wanted, stepping into one portal. It shocked the king when the Gate of Babylon was forcefully closed.
Grabbing one weapon nearby, the king blocks Karla's kick before dodging the other two servants. The three powerhouses kept exchanging blows while Karla waited for a perfect opening.
Russell blocks an attack with Escanor while Silver doing the same with Stormbreaker. Karla dashes forward and throws a savage uppercut with her weapon. The blow would obliterate a normal human.
Gilgamesh went hurling to the air before landing on the crate where Russell and Silver were waiting for him.
"Everyone, are you ready?" Russell asked.
"Hai!"
"Let 'er RIP!" Russell roared, firing off his weapons, followed by his Ki Blades. Herakles fires off Nine Lives: Shooting the Hundred Heads. Ereshkigal released her Naamu Abzu Gugalanna. Blaire conjures her Pumpkin Cannons. Silver opens as many portals as he could for the team.
Those who didn't have any long-range attack watched. Illya cheers on, commenting on how awesome Silver was while Sakura rebuked it, claiming it was Russell who was awesome.
The first recorded hero summoned every shield in his treasury to block the blasts. He forgot one thing, two of them were thieves.
"Pandora," Russell whispered, taking away every shield visible. Silver grins and focuses the blast on the opening.
As the dust cloud engulfed the docks, everyone waited for the outcome and to their surprise, Gilgamesh survived.
"Oh c'mon! That's bullshit plot armor!" Russell yelled.
"Yeah, but he's in a terrible shape." Silver said.
Clutching his wounded side, the archer of red can only glare at the two. His armor gave him time to enter his Gate. "You mo-" Karla appears and punched him before following up with a german suplex.
"Nice one!" Silver said.
Russell gave his fiancee a thumbs up. "Good show, Karla!" the young girl merely gave a cheery grin. Her senses went wild and jumps back before heading back to the group.
More Gates opened as Gilgamesh was about to fight once more but quickly looks away. "You dare order your king to retreat!? You have some nerve Tokiomi." He growled and glares at the duo and everyone else.
"This is not over."
With that, he left. "I feel bad now," Silver said. "Why?" Karla asked. "I accidentally donated his gold to Ishtar in another timeline."
Russell blinked before laughing again. Oh, sweet irony. "Oh boy, if he finds out, think he'll switch to berserker class?"
13th and 8th were looking at the docks. "8th... can I please fight them? I've been sitting on my ass the entire month!"
8th thought it over before nodding. "Alright, under one condition." He said. "Name it." 13th said.
"I want you to fight red. I'll take care of the silver, and his team." 13th tinkered with his inventory.
"Aw... but I wanted to fight them all. Okay, fine."
"Excellent. Change your clothes. Our uniform stands out."
Russell's senses flared before his GPI activates and forcing him for an irregular block with his sword. "Hi~" 13th said. "Let's go somewhere less crowded." A dimensional tear swallows the two.
"Russell!" Karla yelled before 8 appears covered in black miasma blocks her way. "Move!" Karla delivers a mighty blow, but 8th blocks it unfazed by the blow.
Silver was about to follow but teleports away before 13th's hammer could hit him. "What's this? The big bad graces us with their presence. You know you should go to a villain school. The entrance was lame." Silver said.
13th merely chuckles. "Yeah, your right, but the thing is, I'm just here to stop you." Silver blinked in confusion. Hercules crashes into the area with Illya; Bezerkar was now in a larger form.
"Guys, can any of you find Russell?" Bright called in worry.
"We're still looking," Blaire said before she stops upon seeing they surrounded her and Jack.
They nearly shot Medusa quickly grab Sakura when she flew into the air. Ereshkigal frowned as she recognized the similar feeling she had when meeting Lousu. "Don't tell me they're like him?"
Russell grunted as he rolls on the ground after being thrown across the area. "This is..." He muttered.
"Ding ding, my Dungeon." 13th said while pulling out a scythe. "I have to say for Gamer you're boring."
"Excuse me?"
"Like seriously, why did you waste your time doing lame side-quests? You can do anything you want. Have as many women as you want, no one would fault you. Hell, you barely even fuck your waifu."
Russell frowned. Why is he always fighting weird people? Or Psychopaths? Stupid Bad luck.
"So you're saying I should be like you? Waste my time following a trend of living my life and be just a generic gamer? An OP boring-generic-no-personality MC who only thinks with his damn dick? Because he died as a virgin? Yet somehow thinks he's special when he's nothing but a loser who only got babes because?"
Don't get him wrong, there are some wonderful stories out there where the MC has a personality despite being Op, but the point is those MC had a charm. They all had a motivation.
watch?v=FHgBZAtB6bo
13th quickly appears in front of him and tries to behead him, but Russell deflects it. "Oh, I'm sorry. Struck a nerve virgin boy?"
"Shut it!"
Russell teleports away and throws Escanor but misses. As 13 appears once more, this time dragging out a great sword, the Beast tries to steal but realized that his enemy had something similar to Pandora.
However, Russell disarms the enemy and throws a wild combination of punches and kicks. 13 used Observe to find his enemy's weakness, but Russell pokes his eyes.
"Ah, none of that, noob," Russell said before performing another set of combos.
"He's not letting up. What the hell is he!? He's like a pro-gamer with the way he fights!" 13 thought. Russell dodges a lightning bolt before grabbing 13 and punches his jugular. Realizing, that the injuries he inflicted were healing.
Absolute Zero.
13 knew this before using his hidden weapon. "You should have kept your distance." He taunted. Confused, Russell raised an eyebrow before noticing his weapon.
An enormous blast engulfs him while 13 celebrates. It won't kill any gamer, but it's going to take tons of health points. "Was that supposed to hurt?" Russell asked, surprising 13.
"What kind of cheat is that!?"
"Modding."
Allowing 13 to see his stats, Russell cracks his neck while the enemy seemed to realize who was the challenger.
Username: Russell Redgrave/ Kaioh Redgrave
Title: Lord of Pandemonium
Stats:
Str: 9000
Int: 9090
Wis: 7900
Dex: 9000
End: 90000
STMN: 9000
LUCK: ?
"That's not fair!" 13 yelled. This guy's stat was like 8th, not to mention the target recently knew he's a modder. There's no way he could have figured out how to mod his Game this fast.
"I never play fair, kid," Russell said before kicking the enemy to the face with Muay Thai. "Goal!"
Russell knew this modding was only a temporary boost. He can't waste any more time. He wasn't even sure if using summons or clones is a good idea since it might give his enemy additional EXP.
13, rolled across the ground before getting back up. "I'm going to make you pay!"
"How original," Russell said with a bored look. "Which villain did that line come from?"
The enemy roars and charged forward. As Russell finishes him, he gasped when he felt something pierce his chest. Looking down, he saw that 13th's sword had lodged itself while the owner was unharmed, as if nothing happened.
"Neither do I."
However, something wasn't right. Using Observe, he turns to see another Russell bringing Escanor down, but the enemy blocks it.
13 blinks, then laughs. "Well, this is something else. You pulled an Itachi on me." Russell tries to trip him, but the enemy jumps back. "You fell for my trap card!" Russell looks down and spots that he was suffering multiple debuffs.
Russell raises his left arm, and he pulled 13 back to him. "Ki control: Attraction." The enemy breaks free and lands on the opposite side.
Thirteen rushes in, ready for anything except for a bolt of lightning erupting from the ground, followed by flames.
"And so did you."
13th chuckles. "Funny guy." He quickly uses flashed in front of Russell with a yellow flash. "Sage art: Choodama Rasengan!"
"Ki manipulation: Big Bang Attack!"
The two attacks clashed, creating a power vacuum at the epic center. Russell switches with Escanor and increases his power. "Pride flare!"
He swings his ax with all his might, 13 can only drop his jaw at how suicidal his enemy was. Monsters from 13's Dungeon can see an enormous dust cloud from the distance.
Russell panted while his wounds healed. That should be enough to put the Gamer out. Keeping his guard up, he cautiously approached the defeated enemy before teleporting away when 13 tries for a sneak attack.
"Fuck dude, do you have any idea on how much it's going to take to fix this place!?" 13 yells.
Russell frowned, this was going to be a long fight than he thought. Readying his weapons for another battle. He rolls down before looking at his opponent noting his change of attire. His sword pulsing with purple hue with Observe.
Name: Felsong
TITLE: Mania
LVL: 450
STATS:
STR: 9450
STMN:8100
DEX:5400
END:5400
LUCK: 8100
"Before we fight can I ask you something?" Russell asked.
"What?"
"How did you get so much luck?"
"I don't know dude, it just kept growing. Why?" 13 was confused by this question until he remembers Russell's Stats. "Oh. Suck to be you, bro." He said.
Russell took a deep breath, happy thoughts, happy thoughts. Russell storms into Felsong's space, activating Limitless. Using endless combinations with Omega, Escanor, and Ouroboros, Felsong does his best to outmaneuver Russell, successfully disarming him but his opponent switches and performs a grappling move.
Jetstream Kata + Absolute Zero
When he tries to create a pulsing dome nothing happened, he then grabs one item hidden in his clothes. Russell GPI kicks in forcing him to teleport just in time before he grayish dome of energy.
"Damn, if he had stayed put I would have taken half of his HP." 13 muttered while getting up.
Russell was about to fight once more before he coughs and starts trying to gasp for air.
"Finally! Man, I honestly thought you were immune or something." Felsong said in satisfaction.
Russell uses Observe and grits his teeth in pain. "You placed a virus inside me."
"Correct! But the virus will not kill, not with the correct dosage, but it does more even if diluted."
The beast blinks when his skills were flickering. "It's affecting the Game." He muttered in horror. Russell tries to stand but his legs gave out.
"Man, if you were something, I haven't had this much fun since forever but unfortunately I have to end it. Nothing personal, bro." Felsong then get's into a stance.
Adrenaline spiking, Russell picks up Omega and blocks his opponent sending him off the edge. "Damn it! What will it take to make you stay down!?" Felsong yells in frustration.
Russell didn't hear it though, the blow was powerful enough to knock him out combined with the virus his body couldn't fight anymore. The pain had sent him into the back of his mind where his memories reside.
He could remember the happy moments both from his previous and current life. This was when before he got sent to Baki/Kengan Ashura, a time when his father taught him martial arts, to defend himself even though he failed hilariously. His mother cheering him on while yelling at his dad to go easy on him.
watch?v=Njd8zGlhFgs
"Are you frustrated? Good, that means your learning. Russell, I want you to remember this. It doesn't matter how powerful your enemy is, it doesn't matter until one of you loses. Remember these words, it's our family motto."
Russell groggily opens his eyes spotting Felsong about to finish him. "Heh, I already forgot their faces. Dad, Mom don't worry about me." He thought. He still had no idea why he's a gamer but one thing is certain. He won't die here.
As Felsong got closer Russell takes Omega and swings sending the enemy to the other side. Russell lands on his feet, steam coming out his mouth. "I'm stronger now." Lightning strikes began appearing across the dungeon.
Felsong could only stare, he wouldn't say anything with the asspull but it frustrated him being on the receiving end. But what he couldn't understand was how Russell could use his Gamer again without being in tremendous pain.
Using his Observe, he couldn't believe his eyes, the bastard didn't just mode his body beyond the limit but everything. The amount of brainpower one would need to do it, not even the smartest Gamer can be that fast.
Noticing that the enemy went into a stance, he was going to attack but something stopped him. Something transparent was covering his enemy and the way he was holding his sword. Upon closer inspection, he realized the shape.
It was a spear. He put that thought away as he noticed his dungeon was breaking apart. Better put this guy down for good.
"Nill Kata... Flaming Thunder God Form:" Russell whispered as the lightning strikes became more ferocious. Russell then dashes forward, space becoming warped and distorted. Unknown to him, his white streaks had changed color becoming blond.
"Zenitsu," Russell swings his sword when he was close enough.
Felsong tries to block but his blade shattered, followed by his left arm being dismembered. "This is bullshit!" He thought glancing at his target, for a second he saw someone else, someone older or is it younger?
"What kind of Gamer are you?" He thought as his Dungeon finally collapsed.
Silver panted while using his cane for support while 8th was just as tired. Karla was holding her injured arm, with Blaire supporting her. Heracles had taken a beating, but he took it like a chad. Medusa and Ereshkigal had arrived for support but barely helped, at least they got the kids out.
He heard about 8th making some comments on hiring better Gamers than over-confident mooks. He wouldn't blame him if they lost to someone despite being Op he'll get embarrassed too.
Then they saw Russell unconscious with blond hair? Is he a Super Saiyan now?
8th distracted by this didn't notice Okita but narrowly dodged her blade. "He beat him? Interesting... Apologies for leaving but I must tend my ally." 8th said fading away with Felsong.
"Lame!" Silver yelled before rushing to his friend. "Guys his bleeding, like holy fuck that's a lot of blood."
"We need to get him somewhere safe. Silver get us out of here." Bright said with the trickster nodding as the team faded.
The Red faction who had witnessed the entire battle quickly realized this war had just gone to another level. One they must tread on carefully. If there is a war anymore.
A/N: Whoo done. Sorry for the long wait folks, I had to do 24 pages for my project and I need 6 more to finish in one chapter. But I can't give up this is a passion I can't pass even as a child.
What's this project? I'm working on a webcomic, still working on the title since someone beat me to my first one. I'll notify you when it's done along with the rest of the two chapters. So that's 90 pages in total minus 24 so I have 66 more to go... Welp no pain, no gain as the game says.
Let-a-go!
