Chapter Thirteen Rider Appears
() The battle between Artoria and Lancer is still going on, but it can be seen that the two are more cautious in fighting, putting self-preservation first in everything. As for killing the enemy, they have given up now after figuring out the opponent's ability.
, without the Noble Phantasm of Liberation, it is difficult to destroy the opponent without being injured. What's more, the consumed magic power and energy cannot be recovered by simple practice.
"Patch, are you there?" Zhenyu contacted Patchouli in the magic workshop through a command spell. Caster has the ability to use a crystal ball to observe other people from a distance. Now Patchouli is observing nearby people in the magic workshop through a crystal ball.
situation.
"Well, I'll keep watching." Patchouli's soft voice came from her mind.
"How many servants have appeared now?"
"According to your description, Rider was found at Dongmu Bridge. As for Assassin on the crane, you also saw it. Archer and Berserker can't be found for the time being. They may have turned into spirits. Wait, Rider is driving an ox cart.
Set off, moving towards you."
Ox cart? Is it Shenwei Wheel? Although it is indeed an ox cart.
"By the way, have you found anything unusual?"
"Not yet."
"Okay, now I have to trouble you to continue to observe. After all, there is nothing wrong with being cautious."
"No problem, Mq~".
"Huh?" As soon as Pat Qiuli's chat ended, Zhenyu noticed something abnormal, and his innate intuition told him that someone was targeting him.
[Tch, Emiya Kiritsugu, did you really target the Master? But now that I know your existence, will I be unprepared? Except that the origin bomb is a bit of a threat, the rest is not worth mentioning.] Maya doesn’t.
Turning his head, his intuition told him that Emiya Kiritsugu should be in the right rear direction, where the most attacking thoughts came from. [Strange, Nero is next to me. Is he sure he can attack me beyond the Servant? 】
"Ping!" The gun and sword screamed again, and the crisp sound resounded through the night sky.
After two battles, the ground of Warehouse Street was already riddled with holes. Even the containers on both sides were damaged, and a lot of them were damaged by Noble Phantasms. It seemed that the people of the church were having a headache for the finishing touches again.
After a powerful slash, Artoria and Lancer retreated and faced each other.
"Although this kind of battle without exchanging names is not an honor, you are worthy of my praise. You have gone through two battles and have fought fiercely without leaving a drop of sweat. It is unbelievable that you are a woman." Although Lancer waved his hand,
Saber was on guard with her spear, but her tone was very relaxed.
"There is no need to be so humble, Lancer. Although I don't know your name, it is an honor for me to be praised by someone with such a superb spear skill. I am very grateful." Artoria also held up the invisible sword in her hand.
The sword guarded the Lancer, with a happy smile on his face.
Although the two of them met for the first time, they both had a lot of respect for the opponent in front of them - could it be considered a resonance of chivalry?
"In this case, we can't tell the winner. When there are Servants watching nearby, even if I try my best to kill you, it will only be an advantage to the other Servants." Lancer showed a helpless smile.
.
"Well, this is also a helpless move. But now is the first battle, and we still have a chance to decide the outcome." Arturia also rarely agreed.
Lancer was silent for a moment, and judging from his expression, he must have asked his master for instructions. He was a follower of chivalry, and when his master was present, he did not take the initiative to ask for instructions.
"Then, how about we end this battle?" Lancer said, apparently with the master's approval.
"Okay." Artoria had a good impression of this opponent. He was a true knight who acted according to chivalry.
Just when the two were about to put away their swords, something happened suddenly.
Boom!! A thunderous sound pierced the sky, and a flying object was seen crossing a straight line in the sky, heading straight for this side, and also sprinkled purple lightning sparks in the night sky. The sound just now must be it
There is no doubt that it was sent out.
The master and servant present looked back at the southeast sky almost simultaneously. The source of the sound was clear at a glance.
Judging from the appearance, this is an ancient chariot with two heads. What is tied to the shaft is not a war horse, but a burly and muscular bull whose muscles are rolling like waves. The bull's hooves step on the void, pulling the luxurious and magnificent
of chariot.
No, the chariot is not simply floating in the air. The wheels of the chariot are roaring, and what is stepped under the hooves of the bull is not the earth but lightning.
Every time the oxen's hooves and chariots pedaled the empty sky, purple lightning flashed its spider-web-shaped tentacles, rolling up the atmosphere with a deafening sound. The magic burst out of lightning
I'm afraid it's comparable to ordinary engineering magic, and this is just the aftermath.
Only a Servant's Noble Phantasm can be so weird and release such huge magic power.
The chariot with thunder and lightning on its feet hovered menacingly above them, then reduced its speed and landed on the ground. It happened to be in the clearing cleared by the duel between the two heroic spirits. It put away the command as it landed.
The dazzling lightning revealed the figure of a giant man, standing majestically on the driving platform of the chariot.
"Everyone, stop it! In front of this king!!!"
Needless to say, both Lancer and Saber are famous heroic spirits. They cannot be frightened by just a few roars. However, this new heroic spirit did not attack them, but just to disrupt their duel, and fired a shot.
Nero, who was standing next to Zhen Yu, frowned, and her commanding tone made her feel uncomfortable.
After seeing that no one on the field spoke, the burly man continued, "My name is Iskandar the Conqueror. I participated in this Holy Grail War and obtained the title of Rider."
Huh? Everyone present was truly dumbfounded at this moment. On the battlefield of the Holy Grail, it is impossible for a servant to declare his family name. The real name is the key to the strategy. If the real name is known, it is possible to analyze him in his legend.
Noble Phantasm, and find out the weaknesses.
Zhenyu had known about this scene for a long time. Although the effect of the live version was better, he was not too surprised. Moreover, was the Conqueror King's statement really a hot-blooded and brainless act? Not necessarily, as a king,
No one is stupid?
At this time, Weber, who was sitting on the emperor's chariot, was about to collapse. He originally thought that summoning the legendary conqueror Alexander the Great was a lucky thing, but it turned out that there was a gap between the legend and reality. Weber never dreamed of it.
Thinking that what he summoned was actually a hot-blooded idiot, could it be that he conquered the world with his muscles in the first place?
The Emperor ignored Weber's question and continued to ask, "You are fighting each other to get the Holy Grail... Before you fight, I have something to ask you. I don't know what expectations you each have for the Holy Grail.
But think about it now. Is your wish more weighty than the ambition that encompasses heaven and earth?"
"What do you want to say?" Arturia asked in confusion. This was also the confusion of others. Most people were confused when such a question was suddenly asked.
"Huh? I made it very clear." Rider's tone became much softer and more harmonious. "I am coming to the battlefield. Do you have any plans to give me the Holy Grail? If you give me the Holy Grail, I will treat you as friends.
, share the joy of conquering the world with you."
"..."
It was silent again for a while. The Emperor's cold skills are really strong. From the time he appeared until now, the atmosphere has been silent twice.
This was such a nonsensical suggestion. Saber froze without even getting angry, while Lancer opposite him didn't know what to say and just stood there in a daze. Nero sneered.
"What a boring statement. You want me to give you the Holy Grail? What an unforgivable guy! I am the King of Rome, the King of the World, and the Emperor who rules the world. You want me to give you the Holy Grail?" Nero
She was the first to speak. For her, no one in her circle of emperors dared to criticize her actions.
Regarding Nero's revelation of his identity, Zhen Yu did not stop him or say anything. He had a general understanding of Nero's character and could not bear it at all.
"Oh? You are actually the tyrant of the Roman Empire? I didn't expect you to be a woman." The Conqueror said with great interest. Others also looked over curiously, and then looked at Artoria. The two of them
They are so similar, I don't know what the relationship is.
"Hmph, in my absolute circle of emperors, who dares to have any objection whether I am a man or a woman?" Nero said disdainfully.
"Sure enough, these are domineering words. You are worthy of being in the absolute circle of emperors."
Then, Lancer spoke, mixed with a wry smile, but his eyes, which were full of power like sharp swords, collided head-on with the Conqueror's disdainful eyes, and sparks flew, "I admire your courage in announcing your family just now, but I can't find it.
I agree to your proposal. I will hold the Holy Grail. This is the oath I made to the only new monarch in this world. The person holding the Holy Grail is definitely not you, Rider."
"...Are you trying to express those jokes to hinder my duel with the knight?"
Artoria asked after Lancer's words. The expression on her face was different from that of the beautiful Lancer, and she didn't even smile. For her who was serious, Rider's proposal itself was extremely unpleasant, "King of Conquerors, you are joking.
It's too much. It's an intolerable insult to a knight."
"...Do you want to negotiate terms with me?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
It felt like Rider was about to say something flattering, so Lancer and Saber Artoria refused in unison. Artoria continued speaking with a face full of disappointment.
"Say it again... I am also the king of a country in charge of the Kingdom of Britain. No matter what kind of king he is, he cannot bow his head to others."
"Oh? The King of Britain?"
Rider may have become interested in Saber's declaration, and raised his eyebrows high, "This is so surprising to me. The world-famous King of Knights is actually a little girl."
"——Then try to eat this little girl in your mouth. Conquer the King."
Saber lowered her voice and raised the sword in her hand.
Rider frowned and sighed, "Then our negotiations will break down. What a pity. What a pity."
The moment the rider mumbled with his face down, he noticed the resentful eyes looking up from his feet.
"Ah, it hurts, ah..." Due to the swollen pain on his forehead, what was more tragic than the pain was regret. Weber's cry passed through the low altitude, "What should I do? He kept talking about conquest, but in the end he didn't mess with it.
Are you disgusting... Do you really think you can beat three Servants?"
The burly Servant faced the Master's question and laughed without any guilt.
"No, isn't there a saying, 'A hundred conversations is nothing more than a try'."
"Could it be that 'There's no better way to talk than to try' is your real name?!"
Webber, who was so angry that he was dizzy, used his two powerless fists to hit Rider's chest armor, which was standing upright, and cried out.
Seeing this sad scene, Irisviel neither despised nor sympathized, but felt that she could no longer remain silent.
The tense air relaxed wonderfully——
