The whole process was actually very fast. It only lasted a quarter of an hour starting from the time both parties deployed their inherent barriers at the same time.
Weber didn't even blink, imprinting the entire process in his mind. For him, this battle was as long and heavy as a lifetime.
He will never forget this memory.
The scene he saw in those few seconds has become a part of his soul and can no longer be separated from him.
Accompanied by a ubiquitous whirlwind, the light of the stars gradually dimmed, the red wilderness faded from color, and all the scenes turned into blurred black and white.
It's like waking up from a dream.
In the blink of an eye, the cold steel skeleton of the Fuyuki Bridge came into view.
The cold wind was biting and there were only two people on the bridge at this time. The bridge still became the "Bridge of the Death of the Emperor".
Renn was not surprised that the emperor chose this place as the venue for the decisive battle. This was the place where they first met, and now it became the place where the two of them said goodbye.
Everything was silent. In this silent and dull night, Weber was completely alone, with no companions around him.
The cold wind blowing across the river was very biting. Just like before, the boy was once again thrown into a corner of this ruthless and indifferent world, but this time Weber was not at all confused. He knew the value of his existence.
Weber raised his head and looked at Wuming in front of him, who was standing next to him, staring at him with a pair of dark pupils.
Very close.
The young man could even smell the smell of blood emanating from his body. Coupled with the shuddering aura and indifferent expression, it gave people a creepy feeling.
Weber bit his lip to stop the trembling of his body.
No one knows the power of the servant in front of him better than him.
But no matter how scared he was, Weber still raised his head stubbornly. He stared at those eyes that were as deep as night and without any emotion.
"Webber, do you hate me?" Ren suddenly asked, his calm voice making it difficult to detect any emotion or anger.
"That's right." Weber stared at him and clenched his fists subconsciously.
He knew that doing so might anger the other party, but he couldn't give in or lie on this kind of issue.
"very good."
A red coat was dancing gently in the cold wind. Ren nodded seriously. It was right to hate him.
He judged that the boy's emotions were real. As Rider's servant, the boy was brave and loyal enough.
Renn doesn't care about anything else.
He does not belong to this world. He will leave after the Holy Grail War. Gratitudes and grudges will either be understood on the spot, or they will have no result.
Weber was slightly startled.
Wu Ming had no intention of embarrassing him at all. He thought that the other party would at least threaten him or even kill him.
"Webber, I was once like you. I hated my enemies, and I hated my own powerlessness even more." Ren looked at the young man in front of him. "Without strength and lack of wisdom, I can only lament my own powerlessness and can't do anything."
Before the young man could reply, he turned around and left, and his slender shadow quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Weber finally couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears.
He hates Wuming, but not resentment,
This battle is an upright duel. In order to compete for the Holy Grail, the two sides have different positions. There is only victory or defeat, life and death, and there is no right or wrong between good and evil.
Compared with his hatred for losing the king, the young man hated himself for being so powerless.
In this battle, as a courtier, he could not help. He could only watch Rider die without being able to do anything. This time, he clearly and deeply realized his own weakness.
He must arm himself with force, knowledge, wisdom... and use all means to make himself stronger.
When Weber realized this, his youth was over.
On the empty bridge, Weber stood crying under the pale lights. He looked down at the black rolling river from the empty bridge and let his tears flow freely.
These are the passionate tears of a man.
…
There was already a war on the other side. Renn immediately headed towards Yuanzang Mountain, and the system prompts sounded in his mind:
"Side Mission 1 (Force): For each Servant defeated head-on, the power of the final weapon obtained will be increased by 10% (2/3)."
So far, everything has gone smoothly. Only the strongest and last enemy is left. Strictly speaking, only the King of Heroes is qualified to fight him to the death.
Renn's "servant" body is even stronger than his original body. In addition, he is under the "power compensation" mechanism at the moment, and his overall strength has doubled.
The so-called power compensation mechanism is a temporary enhancement that is limited to this world and will be gone after that.
Originally there was no such enhancement.
What Ren calls a "system" was severely damaged in the first three worlds, shut down and inoperable for a long time, and failed to perform its "responsibility" at all.
This resulted in the favored Renn being in a state of "freezing".
During the Karan Knight World, and before the end of the Giant World, he didn't even know that he was a "favored one". Even in the Steam World, until he received this mission, the system had no sense of existence.
The system seriously "missed its duty" and failed for three entire worlds!
Therefore, according to the operating regulations, Renn was given a "strength compensation", so to a certain extent, this weapons mission in the moon world is a "welfare".
The overall strength is doubled, and the difficulty of the task is naturally greatly reduced.
After Ren arrived in the moon world, he checked his strength.
First of all, the sword skills and runes have not been weakened but have not been strengthened. Projection magic and infinite sword control are also the abilities of "Wu Ming". After merging with his own "Qi of the Stars", they have mutated and strengthened.
As for the values of physical strength and agility, they have not received much enhancement.
Then, the only enhancement given by the system is the Noble Phantasm that should not exist - Endless Thunder.
This Noble Phantasm is also Ren's real trump card. It has never been used so far, not because he is hiding it, but because it is too powerful.
With one blow, Brother Brush and the Emperor are dead. After a servant dies, his Noble Phantasm will disappear immediately, and Renn will not even have a chance to touch the Noble Phantasm.
Looking up at the bright moonlight and the stars in the sky, Ren showed a smile. He had been tortured to the point of doubting his life, but this time he finally turned over.
Three worlds, just one chance to show off, naturally requires a worthy opponent.
Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, stands at the pinnacle of heroic spirits, the ceiling of his followers, the killer of his followers, a tyrant who is almost unbeatable as long as he is serious.
What could be more worth looking forward to than such an enemy!
The battle with the Great Emperor was just a warm-up. Walking in the cold wind of winter night, the long-lost blood burned in Ren's heart.
His figure flashed away in the night, time and space were slightly distorted, a real and illusory lightning symbol was imprinted on his back, and the stars were turned upside down in a trance...
…………
A quarter of an hour ago, Yuanzang Mountain.
An unexpected guest climbed up the steps.
The gorgeous armor on his body was flowing with golden light, illuminating the shrine that was obscured by the trees on both sides. With his leisurely pace, the quiet forest seemed to have become a magnificent palace.
A faint smile hung on the handsome face of the Hero King, and his blood-red eyes scanned the mountain scenery.
There is a large anti-spiritual barrier in this place that excludes all spirits. Unless the entire Enzo Mountain is razed, any followers can only go up the mountain from the shrine.
At this time, Gilgamesh had not acquired a physical body, so he naturally had to climb the stairs. However, humans like Kotomine Kirei could invade Ryudou Temple from any angle.
The monotonous scenery on the mountain soon made Jin Shining lose interest. He quickened his pace and reached the outside of the mountain gate in a few minutes at the speed of a follower.
A quaint temple appeared in front of you. In addition, a familiar woman also stood at the door.
Seeing the undisguised arrival of the enemy, Saber immediately pulled out the invisible holy sword stuck in the ground.
Her expression was very cold, her emerald eyes were staring at Archer, and she exuded an awe-inspiring fighting spirit. She raised her arm and pointed the tip of her sword at the King of Heroes.
"Saber, we meet again, you don't seem to welcome me."
The blood-red eyes of the King of Heroes were full of indescribable weirdness, staring at her as if facing a formidable enemy.
"It's ridiculous, Archer, why should I welcome you?"
With only disgust and hatred for Archer in his heart, and the fact that Archer was the enemy who was blocking her, King Da Mao was too lazy to deal with it.
She was able to ignore or endure Wu Ming's teasing. Apart from the good impression in her heart, a large part of the reason was because the other party was not her enemy, but a helper.
Regarding Saber's extremely cold attitude, Mr. Jin not only was not angry, but said with great interest:
"Saber, although you have fallen into delusion and are burdened with ideals that exceed the limits of your own abilities and cannot breathe, you are still a beautiful woman."
"Archer, don't say those weird words!" Saber stared at him coldly and said unceremoniously, "Get out of here, the Holy Grail does not belong to you!"
The Holy Grail is coming.
At this critical moment, although she could still remain calm on the surface, Artoria's patience was running out.
Now any enemy standing in front of her would be an eyesore to her, let alone Archer, a guy who had repeatedly humiliated and trampled on her ideals and dignity.
Seeing her looking determined to win the Holy Grail, the King of Heroes raised the corners of his mouth and let out wanton laughter.
"The Holy Grail that achieves miracles, I don't care about that kind of thing at all. Saber, a woman like you is already a rare miracle."
"Archer, what do you mean?"
King Daimao frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled. Of course, he was more vigilant and alert.
The King of Heroes' expression softened a little, his eyes flashed with pity, and his voice turned out to be a little softer:
"Saber, throw down your sword and become my king's wife."
What?!
Da Mao Wang subconsciously opened her eyes. In this imminent situation, this imminent fight, these inexplicable words caught her off guard.
So much so that she was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.
After a while, King Daimao not only did not show the shy look of a little girl, but instead became angry:
"Archer, are you kidding me?"
She felt that Archer was just playing tricks on her, he was very hateful and he didn't take her seriously at all.
The King of Heroes seemed unaware, with a smile on his lips. He puffed up his chest and stared at the woman he fell in love with at first sight.
Mr. Jin felt very good about himself, looked very confident, and said in a domineering tone:
"Saber, I'm not kidding. Give up those boring ideals or vows, those things will only bind you and hurt you.
From now on, all you have to do is talk to me about your desires and show off my colors.
Then in the name of the King of All Things, I will give you all the happiness and joy in this world! Even if you want the Holy Grail, I can give it to you!"
King Da Mao: “…………”
Saber had no idea why he was so crazy, but the other party's arrogant tone made her almost lose her patience.
Jin Shining has obviously never thought about the problem from Saber's point of view.
Ren was just giving him a ring, which had nothing to do with the proposal, so the stupid king was not happy about it.
After all, Ren was a teammate and cook, who helped her and saved Irisviel's life...but in her eyes, the King of Heroes was just an enemy and the biggest obstacle.
King Da Mao would never believe what the King of Heroes said.
Even if he believed it, he would not agree to it. Now if it was Ren's proposal, the probability of success would be zero.
At this time, although Saber has regained her identity as a woman, she now──doesn’t know what love is at all!
Artoria still cannot understand the love between men and women. Although she once had a wife and children, she has never thought of marrying anyone else.
Proposing to Saber is a waste of time.
Unless she first understands what love is, Ren doesn't have this ability, and obviously, neither does Mr. Jin.
"Archer, I don't understand what nonsense you are talking about!"
Saber's eyes became very cold, and she directly regarded Archer's inexplicable behavior as a kind of humiliation, a way of teasing and fooling her.
"Saber, even if you can't understand it, at least you know how to feel happy, because the person who appreciates your value is none other than me...ah, what?!"
The confident Jin Shining was unmoved and prepared to continue the "hardcore" proposal, but his voice suddenly changed.
Mr. Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring intently at Saber's left hand - that small white hand, wearing a black ring.
If he remembered correctly, she didn't have a ring on her hand during the king's banquet!
The King of Heroes' expression instantly turned cold, his eyes were full of murderous intent, his aura changed, and the terrifying aura of the demigod heroic spirit made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
Sabe immediately grasped the holy sword and guarded it outside the gate of Ryudong Temple. She just thought that his true colors had been revealed.
Mr. Jin was furious and asked sternly: "Saber, what's going on with the ring in your hand?!"
Slightly startled, Saber subconsciously glanced at the ring on her left hand.
When she usually arms herself, she uses magic power to weave a set of armor, including iron gloves.
But because of Wu Ming's previous instructions to crush the ring immediately if she was in a desperate situation, her left hand was not covered by the armor to prevent the ring from being crushed after being wrapped in gloves.
Of course, you can't talk about trump cards casually. Saber just snorted: "It has nothing to do with you!"
She was not sure of defeating the opponent, so it was obviously more beneficial to wait for her allies to come back. Otherwise, she would have killed him long ago and would not talk so much nonsense to him.
"Who is it? How dare you snatch a woman from me!" Jin Shining was furious, and his eyes almost wanted to devour anyone.
That’s not true!
He has always been the one who bullies men and dominates women. This time, someone actually dared to steal the woman he had set his sights on first!
I really thought he couldn’t lift the knife!
Saber's expression was very cold and she didn't answer at all.
"Hmph! It's easy to guess who it is, right?"
Jin Shining had a twisted and bloodthirsty smile on his lips, and continued in a chilling tone.
"Wu Ming, that miscellaneous cultivator, dares to steal my wife. I will cut him into pieces!"
Renn: “…”
If someone is not present, he cannot refute it, otherwise he will not take the blame.
In front of the mountain gate of Ryudou Temple, Saber was no longer too lazy to explain anything, and just held her sword to guard against the angry Gilgamesh.
Seeing that she was indifferent, Jin Shining felt that she had "acquiesced".
The cabbage he had his eye on first was actually eaten by a pig!
It was just a day without seeing her, but she even put the ring on. If she stayed up a few days later, wouldn't she be sleeping until midnight... Can this be tolerated? As a man, I can't bear it!
The anger in his heart could no longer be contained, and the Hero King's face froze as he felt a little green on his head.
He didn't know if Wuming succeeded last night, what if... In short, he was very unhappy!
The blood-red pupils of the King of Heroes were filled with terrifying murderous intent, bright golden haloes appeared behind him, and noble phantoms with cold light were lined up in the night sky!
There is no temptation, and there are hundreds of precious phantoms as soon as you take action.
Daimao Wang's expression changed slightly. Thinking of the fiasco at Tongzhai that night, she felt a lot of pressure, but she was not afraid at all. The injury on her wrist had already healed.
Although she was standing lower than Saber, Gilgamesh's aura under the steps completely overwhelmed her.
"Saber, I have to doubt your vision. Are you such a shallow and short-sighted woman? How can I not compare to that miscellaneous cultivator Wu Ming?"
There is no harm without comparison.
Jin Shining was very angry. They were all proposing. She ignored him completely, but Wu Ming even put on the ring.
Why?
Saber held the sword in both hands and stood in front of the mountain gate. Hearing this, he snorted coldly:
"No matter how annoying he is, he is much better than you! Archer, besides being arrogant, full of foul words, and showing off your identity as the Ancient King, do you have any other advantages?"
There is no harm without comparison.
Looking at the unreasonable King of Heroes in front of her, who looked like the whole world revolved around him, she suddenly felt that Wu Ming was more pleasing to her eyes.
Anyway, Wu Ming is an excellent cook, isn't he?
The King of Heroes had a cruel smile on his face, and raised his chin arrogantly: "Humph, you ignorant woman, it seems that I need to teach you how to talk to me!"
"Archer, you are the one who needs to learn how to speak!" Saber held the holy sword and fought back without showing any signs of weakness. "If you weren't strong enough, you would have been beaten to death long ago!"
Wu Ming told her these words, and she thought they made sense.
"Saber, my patience has its limit. Throw away that ring and throw it into my arms..."
"That's enough! I don't want to listen to your crazy words!"
Before the King of Heroes could continue to perform the most powerful proposal in history, Saber could no longer bear it.
She didn't want to hear a word about any nonsense.
"Saber, it seems that you are quite infatuated with him. Anyway, Wu Ming will definitely die, so I will play with you first."
The King of Heroes did not feel embarrassed at all, his face was still very arrogant,
He didn't think there was anything wrong with his way of proposing, and blamed her resistance on Wu Ming, and the murderous intention towards Wu Ming in his heart reached its peak.
So what if Wu Ming put the ring on for her, just kill that daring miscellaneous cultivator and snatch it back!
A bloodthirsty smile hung on the handsome face of the King of Heroes, ripples appeared in the void, and various weapons emerged from hundreds of golden vortexes behind him.
Cold light overflowed, and all the precious phantoms flowing with magical energy were aimed at her. Saber was not afraid.
Wearing combat boots, she stepped lightly on her feet, and her petite figure instantly swooped down, pointing the holy sword directly at the King of Heroes!
