But I Refuse! / You Talk Too Much

However, he didn't do that. Why? Because he knew very well that even summoning Servant would be useless.

"..." Ramesses II did not speak, he just stared at Mikaela and sat up straight.

At this moment, the playful aura on his body disappeared, replaced by an aura of kingship.

Nitocris also remained silent, standing quietly beside Ramesses II. Clearly, she too sensed that Mikaela was no ordinary person.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Holy City, or rather the Knights of the Round Table and the Lion King, are currently besieging the Old Man of the Mountain. Because they have a large number of Servant, the Knights of the Round Table and the Lion King are doing their best to deal with them in order to prevent the Old Man of the Mountain from ruining the Lion King's plans."

In FGO Chapter 6, the Old Man of the Mountain is in a terrible situation, being chased by the Knights of the Round Table while rescuing refugees.

Several of their strongholds were also captured by the Knights of the Round Table.

Many of the Hassan throughout history have also been killed by the Knights of the Round Table.

In FGO Chapter 6, there are at least four Hassan lineage Servant appearing in the dialogue, clearly indicating that the Old Man of the Mountain have also done their utmost to resist.

However, the more they resisted, the more the Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table wanted to annihilate them.

Ramesses II, the strongest and most threatening figure to the Lion King, was completely ignored, with no Knights of the Round Table paying him any attention.

The desert forces representing Ramesses II also made no move, as if the two sides had reached some kind of agreement.

The Knights of the Round Table besieged and tried to win over the Servant appeared in the desert.

Ramesses II chose to ignore this phenomenon; whether it was increasing the Servant or suppressing Servant, it had nothing to do with him.

"And you, by not continuing to increase your Servant, clearly do not want to be enemies with the Lion King."

This statement directly revealed Ramesses II's current stance.

He didn't want to fight the Lion King, or rather, he had absolutely no need to fight the Lion King.

"So what if we become enemies?" Ramesses II laughed, looking at Mikaela calmly. "Even if we defeat the Lion King, what then? The King of Magic's pieces are already in place, and it's too late."

"The Old Man of the Mountain rebelled simply because he didn't want Human Order to be destroyed like this, and also because... unlike me, they can't protect their people!"

Arrogance— Ramesses II was brimming with arrogance at that moment.

That's right! The reason why the Old Man of the Mountain's Servant fought so desperately was simply because they were unable to protect the people, unable to protect their people like they and the Lion King did.

If they had that capability, then the three parties would never go to war; they would simply wait silently for things to unfold.

Mikaela is now the one asking the question.

Ramesses II, as king, was the one who provided the answer.

Before they knew it, the battle between the two sides had begun.

Arash was somewhat confused, but seeing Mikaela and Ramesses II discussing, he silently chose to keep quiet.

Nitocris, however, had already seen through all of this, so she remained silent, as this phenomenon was not uncommon in the past.

Every king has experienced this.

P. S.: "Didn't expect that, did you! I updated!"

Chapter 348 But I refuse!

"In my opinion, the Old Man of the Mountain rebelled for the future, while you are content with the status quo and fear the Lion King."

Mikaela said calmly, "Ramesses II is very strong, he is indeed very powerful, but he is not as strong as the Lion King."

Even if he used the Holy Grail to restore himself to his peak, he still couldn't defeat the Lion King, since the difference in strength between the two was still significant.

In fact, Mikaela is deliberately provoking Ramesses II.

Fear is not wrong; if Mikaela were in his position, she would certainly fear a living god as well.

However, Ramesses II was different. He might have been afraid of the Lion King, but no one could say it! He saw no hope for the future, so he tactically avoided the Lion King.

That's right, it's not out of fear, but rather a tactical decision not to fight.

"..."

Ramesses II's gaze turned hostile, but he did not refute Mikaela. Instead, he calmly asked, "If you were to obtain the Holy Grail, what would you do with it?"

"Defeat the Lion King! Return this Singularity to the right track of history." Mikaela stated simply and clearly; this was his purpose in coming here.

Although the so-called historical trajectory here has nothing to do with him, since Alaya has said so, he will also help Chaldea restore the Singularity.

Because once everything is over, Alaya will help him gain a lot of magic power and then return to his original world.

"How do you plan to deal with the King of Magic?" Ramesses II laughed, but perhaps due to his near-fatal experience, he didn't laugh too wildly, instead revealing a mocking smile.

The King of Magic is a very troublesome opponent, especially if he is on the same level as the Lion King.

Therefore, Ramesses II would challenge the Lion King and defeat her no matter what!

Similarly, if the King of Magic's strength was only so-so, the Lion King wouldn't have taken this action. Instead, he would have directly summoned the Knights of the Round Table, led them to storm the Temple of Time, and killed them!

After all, the Lion King was incredibly powerful, and if combined with the full strength of the Knights of the Round Table, they would form a formidable force.

Even Ramesses II wouldn't dare say that at his peak he was a match for a full Knights of the Round Table.

At this moment, Ramesses II assumes that Mikaela has obtained the Holy Grail and defeated the Lion King. So what should the King of Magic do? What methods does he have against the King of Magic?

The Lion King is simple, but The King of Magic is truly difficult and despairing.

"Compared to the Lion King, the King of Magic is much simpler," Mikaela said calmly. She could simply blow up a doctor, and the King of Magic would die instantly!

"..."

Ramesses II looked at Mikaela with some surprise. He could tell that she wasn't lying.

The pharaoh was an omnipotent being on earth, and so was Ramesses II, not to mention that he was almost a god within the Grand Temple!

If Mikaela dared to lie or make sarcastic remarks, Ramesses II would be able to detect it immediately.

"You bastard..." Ramesses II looked into Mikaela's determined gaze and seemed to be able to sense her powerful confidence.

Perhaps in the eyes of this guy dressed as a maid, the Lion King is more difficult to deal with than the King of Magic.

At this point, Ramesses II was speechless; he had lost the debate.

Whether it was Mikaela's arrogance or he truly had some trump card to deal with the King of Magic, Ramesses II had already lost at this moment.

The argument was lost the moment he didn't confront the Lion King and the Knights of the Round Table head-on.

Unless he admits that he is hiding in this area and dares not fight the Lion King.

However... how could Ozymandias, the King of Kings, possibly admit defeat in front of outsiders!

"Even so, I cannot give you the Holy Grail." Ramesses II sat on his throne, determined not to give the Holy Grail to Mikaela even though he had lost the debate.

"I know."

Mikaela knew perfectly well that she couldn't get Ramesses II to hand over the Holy Grail just by talking.

If he could simply hand over the Holy Grail with words, he wouldn't be known as the King of Kings.

"Hmph, so what do you plan to do? Rob me? Let me make this clear beforehand: if you dare to make a move, I will absolutely..."

No sooner had he finished speaking Ramesses II nearly lost his head again.

It seems that it's not just laughing too loudly that can cause your head to fall off; as long as you talk or make slightly large movements, your head might fall off.

"..." Ramesses II silently moved his head back, then looked at the expressionless Mikaela and Arash's hesitant expression. His eyes twitched slightly, and he continued, "I will definitely kill you."

The Holy Grail is quite valuable to Ramesses II now, and he cannot give it to Mikaela for free unless she offers a considerable price.

Thinking of this, Ramesses II glanced at Arash silently. If the other party was willing to let this hero stay here, then giving him the Holy Grail would not be out of the question.

"Then let's wager!" Mikaela expressionlessly to Ramesses II, "I want the Holy Grail in your hands no matter what. Since negotiation won't work, let's use the most primitive method."

After all that nonsense, Mikaela just wanted to force Ramesses II to agree to her terms of the duel.

All that I said before was to prick the other party's sore spot and get them to agree to the bet.

In the end, he won the duel and took the Holy Grail from his opponent.

"Wow! A contest?" A glint of interest flashed in Ramesses II's eyes.

It seems that even as a pharaoh, he was quite fond of gambling.

For example, a dark duel where souls are at stake!

"How about it?" Mikaela had previously said a lot of nonsense about Ramesses II not daring to fight the Lion King, all for this moment, to make the other party feel competitive and challenge her to a duel.

"But I refuse!"

Unexpectedly, Ramesses II resolutely refused. He looked at Mikaela with a mocking expression and said, "You are nothing but a clown. What right do you have to gamble with me!"

"Although I had long suspected that you would use some method to steal my Holy Grail, I never expected you to use such a ridiculous excuse to obtain Holy Grail."

"A so-called gambling contest is an activity that is held only when both parties are of equal status."

"You are neither a king nor a hero, but merely a clown. What right do you have to gamble with me Ozymandias!"

"..."

Mikaela fell silent. He had considered so many possibilities, but he had never imagined that Ramesses II would reject him over such a trivial matter as his status.

'Is a direct assault the only option?' Mikaela raised her head, looking at Ramesses II expressionlessly, a card appearing in her hand.

"Ha, are you angry? Are you angry because your plans were seen through by me Ozymandias?" Ramesses II stood up, looking at Mikaela and laughing loudly, "If you can please me, then the Holy Grail is yours! Come! Let's fight..."

"Pfft!"

A crisp sound of a head being chopped off rang out, and a skeleton swordsman appeared behind Ramesses II at some point. He chopped off the man's head with a single stroke and, without saying a word, reached out and took the Holy Grail from Ramesses II's body.

Chapter 349 You, you've said too much nonsense.

"..."

The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward. Arash immediately stood in front of Mikaela, looking at the skeleton swordsman as if facing a formidable enemy.

Danger! Extreme danger!!!

And he hadn't even noticed that the other person was standing behind that Pharaoh guy.

This is terrifying! This guy! He's definitely Grand Servant!!!

Although Ramesses II had some sense of danger, Arash was confident that he could escort Mikaela out of the Grand Temple.

This is why he did not try to stop Mikaela from entering the Grand Temple.

Arash has the ability and strength to bring Mikaela out of here.

But things are different now. This Grand Servant appeared out of nowhere, killed Pharaoh, who was on the home side, with a single sword strike and even took out his Holy Grail!

This level of strength!! It's absolutely terrifying!!

Arash, at least, felt that he could not possibly kill Ramesses II with a single blow.

"Lord Ozymandias!!!"

Nitocris noticed something amiss and turned around, just in time to see Ramesses II's head being severed by the skeleton swordsman.

The sight caused her to let out a rather piercing scream.

Because she was well aware of the terrifying power of Ramesses II; in the Grand Temple, he was an existence infinitely close to that of a god.

Even if the Knights of the Round Table or the Lion King dared to personally enter the Grand Temple, they would likely face certain death.

Why?! Why was Lord Ozymandias, who was inside the Grand Temple, suddenly beheaded, and without any chance to fight back?

Nitocris was completely terrified. She looked at the skeleton swordsman, who pulled out the Holy Grail from Ramesses II's body, and then looked towards Mikaela.

"!!!"

Without a word, Arash drew his bow, watching the skeleton swordsman with great vigilance, fearing that the other party might suddenly rush over and attack his Master behind him.

"I don't need the Holy Grail. But if you, my contractor, need it, then it's yours."

In the next instant, King Hassan appeared beside Mikaela as if by teleportation. He threw the Holy Grail in his hand to Mikaela and then disappeared into the Grand Temple like a ghost.

"Hmm..." Mikaela nodded slightly. He looked at Arash, whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, put away the Holy Grail in his hand, and then said calmly, "I'm sorry, Ramesses II, I must leave."

Although his head was cut off, Ramesses II did not die, because he was practically immortal inside the Grand Temple.

Unless King Hassan is ruthless enough to chop Ramesses II into mincemeat without a word, then drag him outside the Grand Temple and let him die in the 'sunlight'.

Of course, basking in the sunlight was useless; simply taking Ramesses II out of the Grand Temple was enough to kill him.
