- “I went to the trouble of sparing your vitals, so suffer as long as you can.”

- With that, Ishtar halted and turned her head toward Gilgamesh with an even crueler smile.
- “It seems like she’ll never forgive either of you, even if I do.”
- The next instant, a seven-colored halo shot from the steel colossus, twisted and tapered into something like the head of a jackhammer... and plunged straight into Gilgamesh’s belly.
- “Lord Gilgamesh! No! Nooo!”
- The young Master’s cries echoed high into the sky, but they did not reach the woman called
- Ishtar or Alkeides near the ground.
- Whether they reached her Servant, Gilgamesh, was impossible to determine.
- Only one thing was certain: Gilgamesh had stood majestically and firm in the face of his enemies until the moment he lost consciousness.
- The catastrophic, wracking pain that even the centaur who had been the tutor of numerous heroes had abandoned his immortality for and had longed for death.
- Even eaten away at by that venom in three places and impaled through the gut by a steel beast... Gilgamesh continued to stand before his enemies as a king.
- Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.
- In this battle, he had been devoid of conceit.

- At last, as the church roof he stood on crumbled and vanished into the rubble, the path of magical energy that connected him to Tine began to fade...
- And the king’s Spirit Origin vanished completely.
