The Ultimate Lich King

Emiya Kiritsugu was even thinking that even if he didn't have the Servant Saber, he might be able to perform better in this Holy Grail battle, right?

Now, because of Saber's own initiative, the situation has fallen into a passive state. It is not fun to expose one's true identity on the first night of the Holy Grail War.

"Now...what should we do?"

Kuu Maiya, who was next to Emiya Kiritsugu, asked with a worried look on his face.

"You go and let Saber prepare to retreat, and I'll see if there's any chance of finding any trace of Lancer's master." Emiya Kiritsugu said coldly as he continued to focus on the sniper scope.

No matter how powerful a magician is, there is a possibility that he will be easily sniped by him if he is careless. As a magician killer, Emiya Kiritsugu has this confidence.

The cold, clear and tense air spread between the two people, and at this moment, it was suddenly cut through by a thunderous sound.

"Huh?" Ye Yu was stunned, and immediately turned his gaze to the sky, where he saw a flying object crossing a straight line in the sky, heading straight for this side, and scattering purple lightning sparks in the night sky. There is no doubt that the sound must be from it.

Irisviel was stunned and opened her mouth in surprise.

"Chariot..."

"Both sides put away their weapons. In front of this king!" The menacing shouts were like thunder. The burly man stood in the chariot, looked around, and then introduced himself aggressively.

"My name is Iskandar the Conqueror. I participated in this Holy Grail War and obtained the rank of Rider."

"What are you thinking about, idiot!!" A hysterical voice sounded from beside the strong man. A young man who was about to cry grabbed the King of Conqueror's coat with a look on his face that was about to go crazy.

What's going on? Seeing the master and servant fighting together, everyone present couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"It's troublesome. Fighting in an upright and honorable manner is what a hero does." Rider said matter-of-factly as he knocked back his Master with a snap of his fingers.

"Saber and Lancer, I am moved by your courage in such an upright battle. How about joining my army and giving me the Holy Grail. I will share the joy of conquering the world with you!" Rider He spoke to himself, as if the two heroic spirits in front of him had surrendered to him.

Is this guy an idiot?

On the other side of the pier, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was observing the battlefield with a sniper rifle, was thinking feebly in his heart. He finally met a servant who was even more unreliable than his own Saber.

"Kiritsugu, something is wrong. Look at the crane over there! And underneath the crane!" Maiya's voice rang out.

"This is... Assassin, how could it be possible that he shouldn't be eliminated..." Looking at the figure wearing a white skull mask on the crane, Emiya Kiritsugu was surprised.

"...can you see two people there, a group of Master and Servant?" Because of the angle, Emiya Kiritsugu did not see Flandre, only Ye Yu and Irisviel standing there. There.

But even so, this situation is enough to make people anxious.

Sure enough, the battle between Saber and Lancer attracted the attention of many people, and now it seems that the situation is getting more and more serious.

"Damn..."

Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth, but he could only wait and see what happened, because he couldn't do anything now.

◇

After the Conqueror King finished speaking these words below, Saber and Lancer were stunned for a long time in the confrontation.

"Did you hinder my duel with the knight just to state those jokes?"

Immediately, the two Servants who were fighting to the death not long ago stared at the unexpected King of Conqueror with unkind eyes, with undisguised hostility in their eyes.

"Are you going to negotiate terms with me?"

"Cut the nonsense!" It felt like Rider was about to say flattering words, but Lancer and Saber refused in unison.

Saber continued with a disappointed look on her face.

"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 raised his eyebrows, perhaps interested in Saber's declaration.

"This is so surprising to me. The world-renowned King of Knights is actually a little girl."

"Then try to eat this little girl in your mouth with a sword, King of Conquerors!" Saber lowered her voice and raised her sword. His left hand was still unable to hold the sword, and the four fingers of his left hand were just holding on to the hilt, but the fighting spirit rising from the shaking of the sword was even more solemn than when he was fighting Lancer.

Rider frowned and sighed.

"Then our negotiations broke down. It's such a pity. It's such a pity."

"It would be strange if it could succeed! You idiot! Idiot! Idiot!"

The sound of his Master's almost collapse sounded at his feet, and Rider touched his head in embarrassment.

"Although I know that there is a high possibility of failure, there is a saying, 'There is no better way to talk than to try'!"

"There's no better way to talk than to give it a try! Could this be your real name?" the boy cried, clenching his fists and beating Rider's chain armor while shouting.

Because of Rider's master's funny behavior, the tense air relaxed wonderfully.

"Really? Is that so?"

But because of this sudden complaint that was so low that it was close to the ground, it solidified again.

The expression of the young man who heard this voice suddenly froze, and soon turned into a look of fear.

This sudden voice... seems to be Lancer's Master?

Ye Yu and Irisviel looked at each other.

"Have you finally exposed yourself, Maiya? Can you determine the direction of the sound?" Emiya Kiritsugu turned the muzzle of his gun and asked Maiya on the other side.

"No, although the general direction was determined, he was well hidden and unable to make a direct attack." Maiya's calm voice came from the earphones.

"Continue to observe Assassin, and the other group of Masters and Servants over there." Emiya Kiritsugu made the decision, and now he can only wait and see what happens.
