"That sword..." Arthur said thoughtfully, carrying the invisible spear.

"Was it seen?" Saber glanced down at the invisible sword in her hand, seemingly resigned, and said, "So, that's why I hid my weapon."

"I understand. After all, it's such a famous weapon; revealing it is like telling others your real name," Arthur said with a smile. "In a war where you can't reveal your true name, it's definitely a huge disadvantage."

"Likewise..." A gentle smile finally appeared on Saber's handsome and beautiful face as she said, "You must also be a hero with great achievements in the past! You feel very familiar to me. Are you a hero from my time or even earlier?"

"I'm sorry, I can't comment on that." Arthur shook his head, a faint smile on his face, and slowly declined.

"I understand!" Whether it was the man in front of her or not, he gave her a familiar feeling, or she admired his behavior, Saber rarely mimicked his tone and smiled as she spoke.

"So... shall we begin the second round?" Arthur asked, pointing his invisible spear at Saber.

"Ah..." Saber's smile faded slightly, and she said seriously, "Now that we've started fighting, it's natural that a winner must be decided."

"Learn!!"

Arthur assumed an attack stance once more, but his fighting spirit seemed to be gradually dissipating.

'Boom--'

At that moment, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the sky, attracting the attention of those present and those watching from the shadows.

A bolt of Inazuma flashed, illuminating the warehouse street.

Above them, an ancient-style Rook, propelled by two bulls whose hooves seemed to leap on Inazuma, descended menacingly towards them.

"Before me, both sides, lay down your weapons!!"

Even before the Rook arrived, their Haki voices echoed throughout the street.

When the Rook landed between Arthur and Saber, everyone first saw the figure of a giant. He was over two meters tall, with short red hair and a huge red trench coat, giving off an overwhelming aura of dominance.

Secondly, there was the boy beside him.

Without a doubt, the giant man is one of the Servant the exhibitors, and the boy is one of the seven Masters.

"It was him... that wretched brat!!"

The person most affected by the appearance of this Master and Servant was not Arthur and Saber, who were interrupted, but Kayneth was watching the battle from the Archibald Family mansion.

He recognized at a glance that the boy next to the giant was one of his students from the Clock Tower.

Clearly, the person who stole his relics was his student, Waver Velvet.

"Tch..." Kayneth, who was originally furious, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, sat on the sofa with his arms crossed, and curled his lip in feigned disdain.

I have no idea what he was thinking.

As if sensing that everyone's attention was focused on him, the burly, Red-Hair giant shouted again, "My name is King of Conquerors, the Iskandar. In this Holy Grail War, I descend upon the world as the 'Rider' class."

As the voice faded, everyone present, as well as those watching from the shadows, instinctively froze.

In this war where true names are hidden and class designations are used, even renowned weapons employ methods to conceal themselves. For a Heroic Spirit to willingly reveal their true name is nothing short of foolish.

"What are you thinking?! Idiot!" Waver was already somewhat flustered from his high-profile entrance, turned pale and grabbed 'Rider's' trench coat, shouting angrily.

Ignoring his own 'Merter', 'Rider' introduced himself and then glanced at Arthur and Saber on either side of him with piercing eyes. He loudly proclaimed, "Before you clash, I have a question for you! Are you willing to join my ranks and hand over the Holy Grail to me?"

"If that's the case, I will consider you my closest friends and share in the joy of conquering the world!"

"..."

As these words were spoken, those present and those watching from the shadows were momentarily stunned.

If Rider's self-introduction earlier was seen as foolish by some, then this is truly idiotic.

Even Kayneth, who was initially quite angry, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Some people even had doubts.

Has the world truly been conquered by this person even once?

Of all those present, only Arthur knew the truth.

If someone actually considers the 'Rider' in front of them an idiot, then they are the real idiot.

True wisdom often appears as foolishness!

This idiom is very suitable for describing the behavior of 'Rider'.

Therefore, upon hearing 'Rider's' words, Arthur did not react at all, but instead calmly looked at the ground.

In fact, his Observation Haki had already been unleashed.

Arthur's silence doesn't mean Saber is speechless.

A look of deep displeasure crossed her youthful, serious face. "You didn't come here just to say these jokes to interrupt my battle with 'Lancer'?"

After speaking, Saber's emerald green eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said in a deep voice, "Moreover, I am also the ruler of the Kingdom of Britain. No matter how great Lord I face, I can never bow down to anyone."

Chapter 288 Conqueror's Haki Shocks the Entire Field

"Oh? The famous 'King of Knights' is actually a little girl? That's quite surprising!" 'Rider' stroked her chin, her red pupils fixed on Saber, her face making no attempt to hide her surprise.

"Then let's try the sword of this little girl you speak of! 'Rider,' no... King of Conquerors!" Saber raised the invisible sword in her hand, Mana energy flowing from her body, her fierce battle aura filled with heroic spirit.

However, Arthur and the King of Conquerors witnessed this scene and secretly shook their heads.

Arthur was disappointed by Saber's personality; but the King of Conquerors instantly understood the little girl's character from Saber's behavior.

"What a pity, it seems our negotiations have failed." The King of Conquerors shook his head helplessly, then turned to Arthur, his bright eyes filled with anticipation as he asked, "Lancer, what about you? Would you consider joining my ranks and conquering the world with me?"

"What an interesting question! If I didn't know you were the King of Conquerors, I might really think you were some kind of madman." Arthur loosened his grip on the invisible spear slightly, and a golden light immediately appeared in the surrounding air.

'Boom--'

Immediately, Arthur green eyes narrowed slightly.

A deafening sound erupted from the air, and an overwhelming, domineering pressure instantly swept across the entire area.

"..."

A strong gust of wind swept in, causing the King of Conquerors and Saber's trench coats to sway wildly.

"Rider, I'm so dizzy..." Waver, who was next to the King of Conquerors, felt as if his mind was being hammered because he was closest to him. The scene in front of him began to shake, and a strong sense of dizziness almost made him faint on the spot.

The Mana within his body was immediately mobilized.

"Kiritsugu...~¨..."

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a more distant container warehouse, Maiya Hisau Kiritsugu Emiya, Master n't have such good intentions.

A weak cry came through Kiritsugu Emiya's earpiece, followed by a heavy thud.

"Damn it, was that really just a mere aura?" Kiritsugu Emiya covered his head with one hand, his eyelids trembling slightly, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

His Conqueror's Haki, at the level of (++), is only one step away from reaching the Conqueror's Domain.

If the true form is here, then none of those present, except for the King of Conquerors, Saber, and Gilgamesh and 'Berseker' lurking in the shadows, could remain conscious.

However, Arthur is now in the body of Heroic Spirit, and releasing the Three Types of Haki consumes the Mana of his original body.

Only then did he restrain himself slightly, allowing Waver, Kiritsugu Emiya, Irisviel, and Kariya Matou, who possessed Mana, to escape unscathed.

"Hahaha... What a terrifying aura!" The King of Conquerors was also taken aback by Arthur's Conqueror's Haki, but at the same time he laughed loudly, his eyes filled with anticipation as he said, "I'm really curious, in your previous life, who was that peerless 'king/conqueror'?!"

"Is this your true strength, 'Lancer'?!" Even Saber's expression became complicated.

The exchange just now, though unnoticed by others.

But she was fully aware that she was at a complete disadvantage.

Opposite her stood a man with the same hair and eye color as her, whose martial arts skills far surpassed hers. Every strike she made seemed to be 'seen' beforehand, as heavy as Water Shot.

"So, you still want to recruit me?" Arthur withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and looked at the King of Conquerors with a faint smile.

"Hahaha... Although I still want you to join my army, it's obviously impossible," the King of Conquerors said with a laugh.

His smile vanished instantly, and he looked up at the sky, shouting, "Come out, all of you! There are others too, aren't there? Those lurking spy in the shadows!"

"I'm not the only one drawn to the clash of swords between Saber and Lancer, drawn by that honorable battle..."

At this point, the King of Conquerors his hands and continued laughing, "Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail, assemble here now! You cowards who dare not even show your faces, I, the King of Conquerors, Iskandar, will despise you!!"

The King of Conquerors's provocative words reached the ears of all who were watching.

Everyone reacts differently.

Kiritsugu Emiya and Kariya Matou simply ignored him.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was observing the battle through his Servant's Servant 'Assassin', muttered to himself, "What a fool, but... this is troublesome!"

'Swish--'

Almost as soon as the King of Conquerors finished speaking his provocative words, a dazzling golden light appeared on a street lamp not far from the three of them.

After a flash of golden light, a figure clad in golden armor appeared on the streetlight.

The moment his figure appeared, an aura more noble than anyone else present spread out.

He was a blond man with hair that was much darker than both Arthur and Saber's, standing straight up. He had a magnificent (Norlie) face, but it was adorned with an expression that looked down on everything. Paired with his equally noble yet disdainful red eyes, he subconsciously gave everyone present an unpleasant impression.

"Ignoring my existence, these arrogant fools who call themselves 'kings'—two of them have appeared overnight!"

With an unpleasant tone and displeased expression, Gilgamesh immediately denied the kingly status of the King of Conquerors and Saber.

"Oh? Judging from your words, are you also a very famous king in history?" But compared to Saber's undisguised anger, the King of Conquerors said nonchalantly, "Besides, even with your insolence, I, Iskandar, am still the renowned King of Conquerors!"

"Hmph! The only true hero worthy of being called a king in this world is me; the rest are nothing but bastards!"

Chapter 289 King of Knights vs. King of Heroes

(Fate/Zoer is a classic masterpiece in the Fate series, and it's precisely because of its classic status that I chose to write about this world. And because this world is so classic, like other fanfiction, I will retain the three most classic chapters of this masterpiece—those who frequently read the Fourth Great Holy Grail War will surely know them. And when writing those three chapters, just like the Marineford War, I will inevitably have to include some dialogue from the original work. For those who, like me, have read countless Fate/Zoer fanfictions, if you don't like them, you can choose to skip them or quietly abandon the story. There's no need to influence me with your reviews. From now on, I will write according to my own interests, just like I did with Hailiru! I can't post the above in the comments section, so I'm putting it in this chapter. Starting today, I won't read the comments anymore; reading them always disrupts my train of thought. I'll go back and read them after I finish writing Fate/Zoer (づ ̄3 ̄)づ!!)

Text:

Gilgamesh's words were even more serious than the King of Conquerors's earlier declaration.

If the King of Conquerors's words were a provocation, then Gilgamesh's words were a complete insult.

However, Arthur, Kaido, Gilgamesh's, remained quite calm.

Saber, who was standing not far away, looked even angrier.

He can't hide anything, which is the complete opposite of Arthur's character, who manipulates the World Government at will.

This perfectly matches the description of the little girl that the King of Conquerors used!

"Since you speak so arrogantly, how about you reveal your name? If you were a king with great achievements in your lifetime, you shouldn't be afraid to say your name, right?" The King of Conquerors remained nonchalant, using undisguised provocation.

But Gilgamesh saw this attitude as disrespect for the King. His red eyes blazed with a still-arrogant rage as he looked down at the King of Conquerors and said, "You dare ask me a question? You mere bastard, how dare you question me, a king?!"

"To have the honor of paying homage to my king, yet not know my name—such a fool has no value in living!"

'Whoosh--!'

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a powerful flow of Mana emanated from Gilgamesh, transforming into a thin white mist that then turned into golden light.

Ultimately, the radiance formed several gates that resembled halos leading to some other space.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous number of weapons emerged from the light.

Swords, tridents, spears, axes... and all sorts of strangely shaped weapons, but the corner that was exposed shimmered with a dazzling light, telling others that these were all Noble Phantasm.

This scene deeply shocked everyone present, as well as those lurking in the shadows.

"Hey... Rider, those aren't all Noble Phantasms, are they?" Waver grabbed the King of Conquerors's trench coat nervously, asking in a flustered tone.

"Hahaha... it seems so, what a wealthy fellow!" The King of Conquerors scratched his head and grinned without any sign of panic.

"Hmph! Die with this ignorance, you bastard!" Gilgamesh tilted his head slightly and shouted arrogantly.
