[They need many blows, and they need them quickly. Gilgamesh watches Saber struggle to make much head way with the serpents, then looks to Adra for guidance. Which was becoming something of a habit, he realized. A leader didn't amount to much without allies to help clear and guide the way, a lesson he was beginning to learn the more time he spent in these dungeons. Still, on occasion, his usual stubbornness did prevail—just not now.
If there's a crack somewhere, it's their job to blow it up. Gilgamesh lifts his hands and summons his familiar blades of light, which hover above. But he needs more, more, more, and with a means to replenish their mana right nearby, there's absolutely no reason to hold back. He shuts his eyes, focuses, wills his mana to flow outward...
And then lets it rain swords, lances, and axes of holy magic, a callback to his now deceased Gate of Babylon. Most meet the same fate as his blade, slipping uselessly off the scales, but a few hit their mark. They pierce those tiny tracks and make them bigger, ripping into fragile bodies that are only just regaining themselves due to Adra's dampening magic. Grabbing one of their foes by the tail, he sends it crashing into its twin, now fair game for Saber to stab it cleanly through. Go for it, girl.
It shouldn't be necessary to tell her where to strike now. The gush of red that's escaping them points straight to the appropriate target.]
