Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 142 You are my king
Raising the billowing yellow sand, the thousands of troops of the "King's Army" shook the earth and charged forward.

Although he already knew that Rider's trump card was an Ex-rank Noble Phantasm, Tohsaka Tokiomi still couldn't help but tremble at the thrilling scene in front of him, his elegance and calmness had already been thrown out of the blue by him.

On the contrary, Gilgamesh, the hero king standing in front of Tokiomi, was unmoved at all.

Gazing at the majestic army, there was only blood-colored joy in those bright red eyes.Only a king who has enjoyed all the pleasures in the world can understand this strange feeling.

In fact, Archer was really happy.

Was summoned to this time and space, but just repeated this farce called war every day.He, who had long been bored, finally met the "opponent" he recognized.

The challenge from Rider deserves his all-out effort.

"Dreams are lofty, and your ambition is to dominate. This king appreciates your ambition. But soldiers, do you understand that the so-called dream will wake up one day."

Archer used the key sword in his hand to open the treasure house in the void, but he did not unfold the "King's Treasure", but only took out a sword.

"Because of this, your path must be blocked by this king, the king of conquest."

——Can this weapon really be called a "sword"?

It's just too weird.There are hilts and tsubas, and the length is similar to that of ordinary long swords.But the most critical part of the "sword body" is far from the traditional sword.It was a three-section connected cylinder, and the tip of the sword was twisted into a spiral shape, not sharp at all.The three-section cylinder is like a wheel, continuously and slowly rotating alternately.

That's right, it can no longer be called a "sword".Weapons that were born long before the concept of "sword" appeared in the world, naturally it is impossible to take the shape of a sword.It was made by God before man was created, and it is the manifestation of divinity that witnessed the creation of the world.

The three-segment cylinder shaped like a wheel cooperates with the movement of the celestial sphere, and each rotates with a weight and energy equivalent to the change of the earth's crust.The huge magical power that surged out has long been beyond the scope of calculation.

"Come on, you should know the ending of endless dreams, this king will personally show you the truth of the world."

In Archer's raised hand, the sword of primordial speed slowly accelerated.One turn, one turn, one lap, one lap....

Witnessing all this, Rider, who instinctively felt the danger was approaching, pushed the reins and accelerated Bucefallas' speed.

Rider intuited that the threat of that weapon was serious, so he sped up Bucefalas' speed.

"coming."

It doesn't matter if the initiative is given to Archer, but he is only allowed to unleash one blow, and before he can take a follow-up action, the "King's Army" will step over that golden lonely figure.

In this way, the key lies in how to survive the first blow. Archer stands out from the crowd with his endless treasures, presumably that must be the ultimate weapon he thinks is enough to win.

Is that an anti-army treasure?
Or the anti-city treasure?

Or is it a sniper-type anti-personnel treasure, the opponent intends to capture the thief first, capture the king first, and shoot and kill the charging Rider in one fell swoop...

The hurricane roared loudly, and a large amount of magical power burst out from Archer's Noble Phantasm.

"Wake up, 'EA'. The stage worthy of you is ready!"

EA——In Mesopotamian mythology, the gods of earth and water divided into "heaven" and "middle".

This "deviation sword" called EA is the original sword that witnessed the creation of the world in the age of mythology.The mission of the Primordial Blade is to cut apart the chaotic and unknown heaven and earth, so that the heaven and earth each have a definite form.

Today, the proudly swirling Divine Sword is swept up in gusts of wind, preparing to repeat the miracle of creation.The golden hero king declared proudly.

"Look at it—this is 'EnumaElish' (EnumaElish)!"

The sky is screaming, the earth is roaring.

The enlarged beam of magic power rushed out, shocking the laws of the universe.

Archer swung his sword down, not aiming at anyone at all.

No need to target anyone anymore.What the edge of the deviant sword cuts apart is by no means limited to "enemies".

In front of Rider, who was galloping on his horse, the ground cracked, revealing a bottomless abyss.

"Well!?"

Rider immediately sensed the danger under his feet, but the momentum of the galloping Bucephalus was too strong, and no one was able to stop him.

"babble--"

Seeing that he could not escape the fate of falling into the bottomless abyss, Weber tried his best to hold back the wailing in his mouth.Although the moment of life and death is close at hand, neither the horses nor the knights carrying him will back down because of this level of crisis.

"Drink!"

Responding to the reins in Rider's hands, the steed kicked with its strong hind legs and flew high into the air.

This jump and flight is simply blood-freezing.When this moment that Weber thought would never end was over, Bucefalas had already set foot on the land on the other side of the cliff.

But Weber didn't have time to catch his breath, and the subsequent tragedy of the cavalry team made his face change drastically.

The Guards Legion, whose feet were weaker than Bucefalas, could not cross the cracks in the earth, and fell straight into the bottomless abyss like an avalanche.Although the cavalry at the rear reined in the cliff in time to avoid the fate of falling, this was only the beginning of the tragedy.

"Boy, hurry up!"

Rider let out a loud cry, hugging Waver and holding onto the horse's mane tightly.

Just as the steed realized the crisis and retreated quickly to a safe area, the ground fissure continued to expand, engulfing the surrounding land and cavalry one by one.

No—it's not just the earth.The chasm extends from the horizon to the empty mid-air, distorting space, sucking a lot of air, and everything around is swept into the end of nothingness with a reversing gust of wind.

"This, this is..."

Even the King of Conquerors was left speechless by this scene.

The deviant sword in the hands of the King of Heroes cut not just the earth, but the whole world including the sky.Its attack can no longer be described in terms of whether it hits or not, and how powerful it is.Soldiers, horses, dust, the sky—everything that relied on the severed space was sucked into the vortex leading to nothingness and disappeared.

While Bucefalas tried his best to stand firm and resist the vacuum pressure, the hot sand land transformed by the "King's Army" was also breaking and shattering, flowing into the abyss of nothingness like sand and stone that were about to flow out.

Before this sword was swung down, the three thousand worlds were nothing but meaningless chaos.

After the sword is swung, the new law will cut the sky, the earth and the sea.

The torrent liberated by the creation of heaven and earth has already exceeded the scope of the Anti-City Noble Phantasm.The visible and intangible myriad phenomena are falling apart under this unparalleled power.This is the true face of the 'anti-world treasure' that makes the King of Heroes a transcendent.

The sky collapsed and the earth shattered. In the darkness where everything was gradually returning to nothingness, only Archer's Deviation Sword was shining brilliantly.That ray of light seemed to be the first star to illuminate the new world, drawing a shining end to the destruction.

Neither Rider nor Waver could see everything.The inherent enchantment they were in was originally maintained by the magic power of all the summoned heroic spirits.Before the world completely disappeared, the barrier had already broken when half of the military power was lost, and the distorted world laws returned to their original appearance.

After that, as if waking up from a dream, the Bucefalas that the two were riding on landed on the asphalt road at night.

At the end of the road, the golden hero stood upright with a proud smile.The positions of the two remained unchanged, and the battle seemed to be pulled back to the beginning.

The only change visible to the eyes was the eccentric sword that was still whirling and growling in Archer's hand.

There is also an invisible fatal change - Rider's ultimate Noble Phantasm "King's Army Power" disappeared.

"I won, no one can stop my victory."

Tohsaka Tokiomi could hardly contain his excitement after witnessing the power of the deviant sword god.

The opposite Weber was pale, looking up at his followers.

"Rider..."

The tall King of Conquerors asked seriously.

"So, there is one important thing I haven't asked you yet."

"……Eh?"

"Weber Velvet, are you willing to serve me as a servant?"

The passionate emotions made Wei Bo tremble all over, and the tears poured down like a flood that burst a bank.

This is a question he knows is impossible, but has always been looking forward to.

There is no need to hesitate at all, because the answer has already been prepared, hidden deep in his heart like a priceless treasure.

"Only you are—"

The boy who was called by his name for the first time ignored the tears on his cheeks, and answered without wavering with his chest out.

"You are my king. I swear to use it for you and die for you. Please guide me forward and let me see the same dream as you."

Hearing the other party swear like this, the domineering Wang Wei smiled.This smile is the supreme compliment and reward to the servants.

"Well, that's fine."

Just when Weber was about to fly into the sky with excitement, his body really floated into the air.

"……what?"

The king lifted the boy's short body from Bucefalas's back and gently placed it on the asphalt road.After losing the support of the horse's back and returning his field of vision to the original height, the lowness and insignificance he experienced again confused Weber.

"Revealing the dream is the duty of the king. It is your duty as a minister to witness the end of the dream and pass it on to future generations."

On the saddle that seemed so high and untouchable, the King of Conqueror smiled heartily and gave the order resolutely.

"Live on, Weber. Witness all of this, and then live to convey to the world the way your king lives, and the galloping heroic posture of this king Iskandar."

Bucefalas kicked his iron hooves, neighing like an encouragement.Is the target the king who is about to die, or the minister who has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders?
Weber lowered his head and never raised it again.Iskandar took this gesture as a nod.

No words are needed, from now until the end of time, the figure of the king will always guide the courtiers, and the courtiers will always be loyal to this memory.Before the oath, even parting has lost its meaning.Because under Iskandar's command, the bond between the king and his subjects transcends time and space and is eternal.

"Okay, let's go, Bucefalas!"

The King of Conquerors kicked his mount in the side and began a final gallop.With a mighty growl, he charged at the foe who was waiting for him.

He is a strategist, so he naturally knows that the outcome has long been decided.But "that" and "this" are two completely different things.Conqueror King Iskandar had no choice but to charge towards that golden heroic spirit, and he couldn't think of any other way.

In his heart, he didn't give up, and he didn't despair, but there was only excitement that almost jumped out of his chest.

It's amazing, this guy is really amazing.This hero can even cut through the world itself, and he is definitely the strongest enemy in the world.

Then this man was his last enemy.

That is the last difficulty in this world.It is taller than the Hindu Kush and hotter than the Makoran Desert.

That being the case, what reason does the King of Conquerors not challenge?As long as you break through this last hurdle, the end of the world is ahead.My unattainable dream is waiting to be realized in front of my eyes.

"There is glory beyond the other side" - because it is so far away, it is worth challenging.

Acura domineering, display domineering, for the courtiers watching their backs.

Standing in front of the King of Conquerors, the King of Heroes calmly watches the challenger while liberating the treasure house's collection.

Twenty, forty, eighty -- countless shining Noble Phantasms spread out in the sky like a sky full of stars.

The light of the Noble Phantasm reminded the King of Conquerors of the starry sky he had looked up at in the east long ago.

“AAAALaLaLaLaLaie!!”

The King of Conquerors trembled with joy, roared, and galloped forward with his beloved horse.

Rain of Stars rushed towards him with a heavy whistling sound.The whole body was ruthlessly ravaged by waves of shocks without interruption, but compared with the pleasure of running, this degree of pain is nothing at all.

There was a time when he backed down, saying that there was no need to go after the "end" -- stupid, what a faux pas.

The dream of the 'end' is standing in front of him.The end of so many hills and rivers crossed is now within sight.

He must go beyond the past.

Step over the enemy in front of you.

One step, one step forward.He kept repeating the same action.No matter how far away that figure is, as long as the footsteps are accumulated little by little, the tip of the sword can definitely be delivered to that person.

The starlight poured down rumblingly, the offensive was so powerful.Faced with the madness that even his consciousness would recede, the King of Conquerors suddenly tilted his body.

When he realized it, he was walking on his own feet.Where did Emmabu Saifalas go, and where did he fall.Although he really wanted to stop and pay tribute to his best friend who had completed the final mission, but it was precisely because of this that he couldn't stop.Every step forward now is the best memory dedicated to the deceased.

Gold's old enemy said something with a helpless expression that knew everything.But he couldn't hear it, not even the sound of the storm as the flashes flashed past his ears.

All he could hear was the sound of waves.

The coast at the far end is empty, the waves lapping to and fro.

This is the sound of the waves of the final sea.

Ah, that's it.With joy in his heart, he finally understood.

Why didn't I notice it at all before - the throbbing in my chest was exactly the waves of the endless sea.

"Haha...ahhahahaha!"

He dreamed that he was running along the coastline.The feeling of toes breaking through the water is really comfortable.The liquid that dyed his feet bright red might be the blood flowing from his own stomach.But so what, now that he was dreaming of the ocean, could there be a better happiness in the world than this?

The King of Heroes who is waiting for him is at hand.After taking a step --- as long as you take a step forward, the sword raised above your head can split the guy's head.

"Drink ah ah ah ah!!"

Accompanied by the sound of shouting, Seprut's sword swung down.

The climax of the certainty of victory, the moment that should have passed in a flash, was stretched out like eternity for some reason, as if even the passage of time had stopped——

No, in fact it did stop.It's just that it's not time that stops, but himself.

Just when the swinging sword was about to hit the opponent, strong chains bound the sword body, hands, feet, shoulders and waist.

The lock of the sky - the secret treasure among the secret treasures of the King of Heroes, the chain of bondage that even the bulls and bulls of the sky cannot break free. .

"I can't stand it, you guys have one wonderful thing after another."

No regrets, no confusion.It was just a self-deprecation that was accidentally frustrated because of a trivial matter, which made him smile wryly at the corner of his blood-stained mouth.

The sword of Seprut did not cut the enemy, but the fact that Gilgamesh's deviant sword penetrated Iskandar's chest, and the feeling of the sword turning back and forth in the heart.

It's really a strange sword - King Conqueror said as if his colleague had nothing to do with himself.

"Woke up from a dream? King of Conquerors."

"...Ah, um, yes..."

This time, it failed again.The unfinished dream ended sadly.But if you think about it carefully, this should be worth betting on for a lifetime, a dream that is only once.

The dream he had had in Asia Minor long ago—he saw the same dream again in this land of the Far East.

Thinking of all the wonderful changes, Iskandar smiled.

If you have the same dream twice, it is not uncommon to have a third.

That is to say-

The next dream is about to begin.

"This expedition also... made my heart surge once..."

Iskandar narrowed his eyes that were getting blurry in the blood mist, and murmured contentedly.

Seeing the satisfied expression, Gilgamesh nodded solemnly.

"You can challenge me as many times as you want, King of Conquerors."

For this formidable enemy who was pierced by the rain of Noble Phantasms all over his body, but still relying on the lock of the sky to block his way forward, the King of Heroes gave him the highest praise—praise from the bottom of his heart.

"Until the end of time and space, this world is my garden. So I assure you, it will never make you bored."

"Ah... that's really... not bad..."

In the end, Rider attached calmly and disappeared silently.

In terms of time alone, it was a very short battle.The heroic spirits of the cavalry quickly rushed to the end of the road, and the offense and defense were over in just a few seconds.

But for Webber, who has been imprinting it all on his eyes, this heavy and long time has rivaled his entire life.

He will never forget this memory, even if he is deceiving himself, it is absolutely impossible to forget it.The scene he saw in the few seconds just now has become a part of his soul, which can no longer be separated from him.

Waver just stood motionless where Rider left him.Although he knew that he had to move, he felt that if he moved his feet a little, his feet would lose strength and he would fall to his knees on the ground.

But at this moment he cannot bend his knees, only this he absolutely does not allow.

The golden Archer stared at Weber with cruel blood-colored eyes, and walked over slowly.

Don't look away. Even if your whole body is frozen with fear, Wei Bo only knows that you must never look away. If you look away now, your life will be lost.

Archer stood in front of the boy who was trembling, but looked straight at him firmly, and asked in a voice without the slightest emotion.

"Boy, are you Rider's master?"

I thought it was impossible to make a sound from the throat that was captured by fear, but when asked about his relationship with him, the rigid restraint was instantly released.Waver shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice.

"No, I am his subject."

"Ok?"

Archer squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Weber from head to toe, only to realize that there was no aura of Command Seals coming from him.

"That's right. But boy, if you are a true loyal minister, you should be obliged to avenge the king, right?"

For the second question, Weber answered again with a calm and unbelievable mood.

"If I challenge you, I will die."

"Of course."

"I couldn't do that, I was ordered to live."

That’s right—absolutely not to die.As long as the king's last words are still echoing in his heart, Weber will do everything possible to get out of this desperate situation.Even if the enemy's servant is right in front of him, and he has no means of self-defense, and the situation is hopeless to the point where everything is over—he will never give up, never trample on the oath made at that time.

Perhaps this is a crueler torture than accepting death calmly.

Facing the inevitable death, the boy could only tremble helplessly, but his eyes still spoke of his indomitable will.

Gilgamesh silently looked down at his frail body, and nodded slightly.

"Loyalty is a great righteousness, you must never forget this belief. Let's go, Tokiomi."

"But, Wang—"

Tosaka Tokiomi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Archer in displeasure.

"He no longer has a command spell. He is not a master or a traitor. He is just a bastard. There is no need to attack him. This is the king's decision."

Waver watched the Golden Heroic Spirit and his Master turn away without saying a word until they disappeared from view completely.

The night wind paid off, completely blowing away the air in the battlefield, and the boy found himself left alone under the night sky.

Only then did he know it was over.

The miracle of saving his life made his knees tremble again.

Until one second before Archer changed his mind, the murderous intent emanating from his breath silently told Weber that Archer did intend to kill him.In fact, if Weber's eyes moved slightly, his feet limp and fell to the ground, or he hesitated a little while answering just now, he would already be a corpse now.

Although he only saved a small life, it was also a kind of affirmation from the King of Heroes to him.Dare to face the fear, but can save a life, which itself is a battle, a victory.This is Weber Velvet's first solo victory.

It's a small and ugly fight that has nothing to do with valor or pomp.Weber didn't beat anyone, and didn't get any treasure.He survived the situation, that's all.

Even so, Webb was happy, and proud of it.Only Weber knew how rare it was to achieve an impossible ending under the circumstances at that time.This sense of honor only exists in his heart.He will not be ashamed of his gaffe, no matter how it looks to others.

He obeyed the king's order.Witness it all and survive it all.

I really hope he praises himself, whether it's that thick palm or his rough voice.This time there is no need to hide my feelings.This time Weber must be able to puff up his chest and show off his achievements like that person.

But——in the quiet night, Weber was alone, with no one around him.Just like a few days ago, Webb was once again thrown in the corner of this unforgiving and indifferent world.

No one knew that he had won a battle that was his alone, and no one praised him for his victory.

But is it a brutal blow? --the answer is negative.

Words of praise he had just gotten a lot.The greatest king in the world recognized him, promoted him, and listed him as one of his subjects.

Just reverse the order of things.

He has already received the rewards from the distant future, as long as he spends the rest of his life to achieve meritorious service commensurate with the rewards.

That's right.As long as there are those words at that time, he will no longer be alone.

The moment he realized this, Waver's boyhood was over.

For the first time, he knew that such things as tears sometimes flowed for reasons that had nothing to do with regret or humiliation.

At this moment, Weber Velvet sat slumped on the ground, letting his tears flow freely.

Those were the tears of a man.
