The First Battle Ends / A Chance Encounter with the King of Heroes

The power unleashed by the Inazuma Kick was like a violent hurricane, engulfing Gilgamesh and sending him flying towards the distant containers.

"Hey... this is way too much! Did he lie about his class? This should be Magecraft, a rather intimidating melee Magecraft, right?!"

Those who witnessed the battle, seeing the kingly aura of the enemy repeatedly suffer heavy losses at the hands of 'Lancer', were all deeply shocked.

Among them, Tokiomi Tohsaka was the most extreme. He thought that by summoning the King of Heroes, he had already held the most powerful trump card, and victory was within reach.

Unexpectedly, this King of Heroes suffered repeated losses at the hands of this unknown Heroic Spirit.

Although the King of Heroes has not yet taken it seriously, nor has he used his powerful Noble Phantasm.

But this is enough to prove that this unknown Heroic Spirit must have been a very great hero in his lifetime.

Even a well-known champion!

Aside from Tokiomi Tohsaka, the most excited person was naturally Kariya Matou.

He knew that 'Archer' was Tokiomi Tohsaka Heroic Spirit, and he had originally planned to send his Servant 'Berserker' to cause him trouble.

However, seeing 'Archer' suffer repeated losses at the hands of 'Lancer', he excitedly dismissed the idea.

"Lancer..." Saber looked at Arthur with a slightly complicated expression, her heart heavy.

Although I hate to admit it, I have to say...

The gap between my martial arts skills and 'Lancer's' is too big!

The heavy, Water Shot- splitting sensation in that exchange just now was only the tip of the iceberg for 'Lancer'.

That Thunder Dragon itself needed to unleash the power of the Invisible Air.

Not to mention the orange beam of light and the lightning that followed; if that kick, imbued with Inazuma, had hit her earlier, she would have been seriously injured.

"You have repeatedly disgraced me, you bastard who deserves to die!" A figure slowly emerged from the dust-filled shipping container...

Gilgamesh's golden hair was no longer straight and intact, but rather somewhat disheveled. Besides the dent in his golden armor, it was also covered in dust. More importantly, there was a trace of blood at the corner of Gilgamesh's mouth.

That was the power unleashed by the Inazuma Kick, which caused him internal injuries.

This stain of blood made Gilgamesh take Arthur seriously.

If before he only wanted to punish the blasphemer who offended the king, now he was truly adding Arthur to the list of those who needed to be eliminated.

To tarnish the dignity of a great king is a crime for which even a thousand cuts would not be enough to cover up the sins committed by such a sinner.

'Swish--'

Gilgamesh's anger made him extremely emotionally unstable.

As a result, a halo leading to the Gate of Babylon appeared beside him.

He reached his hand into the light circle, and then pulled it out shortly afterward.

He went in empty-handed, but now he has a huge golden key in his hand.

"Damn it!" Tokiomi Tohsaka felt his Mana rapidly draining away, and he knew that the King of Heroes was truly enraged.

Ignoring Gilgamesh's current rage, he raised his hand and murmured, "In the name of the Command Spell, King of Heroes, retreat immediately!"

4.9...

"How dare you obstruct my punishment of the blasphemer! You have a lot of nerve! The Tokiomi!" Ea Gilgamesh already wanted to use 'Ea' to deliver a fatal blow to this blasphemer who had repeatedly offended him, became even more furious.

Immediately, the golden key in his hand vanished in a golden glow. Gilgamesh's red pupils returned to calm as he stared at Arthur and said in a deep voice, "I'll spare your life today, you bastard, and those two bastards who call themselves 'kings'! Next time you see me, stay far away. Only true heroes can see me!"

The instant he finished speaking, Gilgamesh transformed into golden light and vanished without a trace.

This behavior, combined with what was just said, makes it seem at first glance that the person who was in such a sorry state just now wasn't him, but Arthur.

Chapter 292 The First Battle Ends

"What a pity..."

As Gilgamesh vanished into golden light, Arthur, who had been looking at him with anticipation as he Ea 'Ea', couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

The soft whisper, however, did not express regret that the battle had been interrupted.

Rather, it contains another meaning!

"Hahaha... What exaggerated martial arts skills! Combined with your lightning power, you're practically a rational Berserker!"

With Gilgamesh gone, the atmosphere on the battlefield returned to what it had been before.

The atmosphere, which should have been serious, was shattered by the King of Conquerors's boisterous laughter.

"..."

Arthur ignored the King of Conquerors, put his hands in his pockets, and stared at Saber with his emerald green eyes, saying with a light laugh, "It seems this duel will have to be postponed."

"Ah... let's leave this battle for last." Saber nodded seriously in agreement.

First came the intervention of 'Rid25er', and then 'Archer' appeared. This duel between the Cavaliers and the Cavaliers could no longer continue.

"Ignored? Looks like the negotiations failed again." The King of Conquerors, receiving no response, wasn't embarrassed, but instead scratched his head helplessly.

"Rider, you idiot..."

After the dizziness in Waver's mind subsided, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he looked at Arthur.

Especially after witnessing firsthand how that 'Lancer' casually unleashed a massive bolt of lightning, without even seeing a single statistic about him, he was a Monster, possessing both power and mystery.

"Hahaha... The exciting duel can't continue, so let's leave now."

"See you next time, Lancer, the little girl King of Knights Britain..."

'Boom!!'

As the King of Conquerors's laughter faded, the two bulls tethered to the chariot instantly rose into the air amidst Inazuma and lightning.

Its imposing presence was so Haki that it made Arthur imagine himself riding "East Starion".

Mounts are a privilege of the Riding Soldier class, but Arthur also summons the King's Horse "Don Starion".

Because the King's Horse "Don Starion" was originally the familiar of the Holy Lance, Arthur had the privilege of riding a mount from the very beginning.

Arthur simply didn't summon the King's Horse, "Don Starion"!

In fact, Arthur's overall strength is enough to qualify him to descend as a class other than Assassin.

"That damned 'Rider'..." Saber gritted her teeth slightly on her youthful face, clearly furious at the last title bestowed upon her by the King of Conquerors.

"Then, be prepared for life or death when we meet again." After the King of Conquerors had completely departed, Arthur's gaze fell upon Saber once more, and with a slight upturn of his lips, he uttered the meaningful words. "Farewell, 'King of Knights'!"

"Ah... I hope this won't happen again in our duel next time." Saber nodded seriously, still unable to understand the meaning behind Arthur's words.

Irisviel, who was not far away, looked at Arthur thoughtfully.

Come to think of it, from the very beginning, she had a very familiar feeling about this 'Lancer'.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to this feeling. I was just a little surprised that Lancer's hair and eye color were the same as Saber's, and I wondered if he was British when he was alive.

Now that I think about it carefully...

This person... looks like Saber!

As if sensing Irisviel's gaze, Arthur glanced at her lightly, then vanished in a golden glow.

"Let's go, Saber." Irisviel walked over, smiling at Saber, and said, "Tonight's duel was truly spectacular."

"Indeed!" Saber nodded, and said seriously, "But we've also gained a formidable rival."

"But I believe Saber won't lose, right?" Irisviel said with a confident smile.

Looking at her temporary Master, Saber revealed a cool smile, "I will not lose!"

"Then, let's go back."

"Ah..."

Inside the Archibald Family's mansion.

"That was brilliant, Lancer!" Kayneth's excited voice rang in Arthur's ears as he returned in spirit form.

Looking to the side, I saw that Kayneth's face was full of joy, a stark contrast to his previous dejection.

"Are you satisfied with this result, Master?" Arthur replied with a smile.

"It's absolutely perfect!" Kayneth exclaimed excitedly.

Arthur's behavior confirmed his suspicions.

Although his previous relics were stolen by his students, resulting in the loss of the King of Conquerors's Servant, he himself drew an ace.

Although they have lost control, as long as they can win this Holy Grail War.

So, it doesn't matter if we don't have control.

He would be the victor then!

Kayneth's participation in the Great Holy Grail War was not due to any necessary or urgent reason.

He didn't have the lofty ideals of Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kiritsugu Emiya; he simply wanted to add this success to his experience.

He is a very arrogant person.

In this respect, he is very similar to Arthur, who had no particular desires and only wanted to win.

Perhaps that's why Arthur was born into the world as the 'Lancer' class, becoming Kayneth's Servant.

"I'm glad you're satisfied. I look forward to your guidance in the future, Master!" Arthur said with a smile, sitting on the soft single sofa.

"Help me win, Lancer--"

"Ah... I will!"

Chapter 293 An Encounter with the King of Heroes

Fuyuki City is a small coastal town located in the far east of Japan.

The Mion River Bridge, which runs through the entire city, divides the city into two parts with completely different architectural styles.

To the east is Shinto, a highly modernized new city with everything; to the west is Miyama Town, an old city that is basically just residential areas.

The two banks of the Taiga are connected by the Mion River Bridge!

The streets of Shinto are bustling with activity.

The bustling crowds, the constant flow of traffic, and the incessant noise were all around.

The Great Holy Grail War began with the exit of 'Assassin,' a performance directed and acted by Tokiomi Tohsaka and his apprentice. The first battle was ignited by 'Lancer' and 'Archer'.

Nighttime is the time for the Great Holy Grail War, while daytime is the time for a truce.

Wearing a black shirt and white casual pants, with a thin white coat over his shoulders, and his blond hair covered by a small hood, Arthur walked down the street with his hands in his pockets, barely making an impression.

Having not experienced modern life for a long time, Arthur has been going out for a stroll during the day these past few days.

It's a bit of a shame that we couldn't bring Nami and the other two girls along.

Arthur had already told them about the other world when they were in Haijilan, and he wanted to fulfill their dreams.

It seems the promise can only be fulfilled after the Holy Grail War ends.

After walking through several streets, Arthur suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that I encountered a crowded place, but rather that I happened to run into someone with whom I had a long-standing grudge.

In this world, besides Gilgamesh, whom Arthur repeatedly defeated, no one else has ever had a grudge against him.

In the vast sea of people, without any deliberate intention, the two just happened to bump into each other.

And it just so happens that they are a pair of people who have a grudge against each other. I really don't know whether to describe it as a coincidence or a joke of God.

The head under the hood slightly lifted, the emerald green eyes meeting the red pupils, and Arthur and Gilgamesh gradually exuded an inexplicable pressure.
