"Well, why bother. I know the character of my king best, and if there was a way, I would have used it a long time ago. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, Kai sighed and planned to step forward and pat Ios on the shoulder.

However, the roar of the ice dragon on Ios' shoulder forced him to withdraw his hand.

…………

"Brave warriors from all over the world, my name is Skaha, and I welcome you as the Queen of the Shadow Country."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the sky.

That voice was full of the nobility and elegance of a mature woman.

It must have been magical, and the sound resounded in every corner of the space, but it was not noisy and harsh at all.

…………

As if in response to that voice, countless cheers suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Haha, the queen has finally spoken!"

"Whew, it means that the trial is about to officially begin. Be sure to refuel. ”

"No matter, it's so good. It's worth dying now! ”

…………

It's really Skaha, and there is no better description of the scene in front of him than to respond to a thousand calls.

And she herself didn't even show up at all, just a voice could achieve such an effect.

This prestige is truly terrifying.

…………

"Brother Kai, I bet the queen doesn't look good." Leaning closer to Kai, Ios whispered.

"Oh? How so? Kay looked interested.

"It's very simple, women like to feel like they're in the limelight, especially when they're surrounded by men. But this Skaha didn't show up at all, just let the voice come from afar. And from what I know, the better the voice, the more ugly a woman is. Ios assumed with a look of erudition.

"Hehe, you Brother Kai and I also feel this way, today I have met a confidant. What's your name? ”

Two like-minded people instantly hooked their shoulders.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but hold my forehead.

…………

"Originally, after explaining the corresponding rules, it was only ...... that the trial was officially announced," Skaha's voice showed a hint of apology, "because of special circumstances, this trial cannot continue." From now on, I will send you back to your hometown safely. ”

As soon as Skaha's voice fell, the people were in an uproar.

However, their protests had no effect, and purple light continued to fall from the sky, sending them out of the Shadow Nation as quickly as possible.

…………

The purple light fell for a few minutes before it stopped.

All around, the space was empty.

“……！”

No, why am I still in there!

…………

hurriedly looked left and right, but saw many companions around him standing in place.

Whether it's the whispering Kai and Ios, the silent Maiden and Lancelot, and the strong man Buck scratching his head at a loss, they all stand in place.

Seeing this, a bold idea rose in my heart.

Could it be that by "special circumstances" Skaha is referring to us?

…………

As I thought about it, the voice above me sounded again, proving my suspicions.

"Well, the irrelevant people have been expelled. Welcome, Shirou Emiya, a traveler from another time and space, Artoria Pendragon, the Knight King of Britain, Kay and Lancelot, the Knights of the Round Table, Buck, the Freedom Adventurer, and ......" At this, his voice paused visibly.

“…… The third prince of the Saxons, Ios Constantine! There seemed to be a slight smile, and the voice said Ios's name.

…………

“……”

"Saxons, why are you here!" Lancelot jerked his sword up, his gaze fixed on Ios' body.

"Ios, are you really a Saxon?" I was also amazed to hear who Ios was.

Buck approached me without a trace. Apparently he was well aware of the contradictions between the Britons and the Saxons, and naturally sided with me.

Even the girl who had just been scolded by Ios to the point where she had nothing to say raised her head vigilantly, watching the boy's every move.

…………

The only one who was indifferent was Kai.

"I mean, this boy named Ios saved us all our lives just now, didn't he, if he wanted to harm us, we wouldn't have to do anything more. Besides, he has a dragon seed as a guardian beast, even if we all go together, can we help him? Kay said lazily.

"Not necessarily. I've killed them all, what is a mere dragon species? The girl said in a deep voice, "Saxon, tell me the purpose of your approach to Shirou and your entry into the ranks. Otherwise, it's up to my sword to ask you! ”

…………

At this moment, the ice dragon on Ios's shoulder, as if he had heard something incredible, widened his eyes.

A pair of dragon eyes looked around the girl, and suddenly showed an extremely excited look.

Without warning, the ice dragon suddenly flew away from Ios's shoulder, regained its behemoth form in midair, and rushed straight towards the girl!

…………

Everyone was shocked.

"My king be careful!" Lancelot struggled to get in front of the girl, trying to keep the ice dragon at bay.

Although Lancelot was strong in swordsmanship and had the courage to see death as if he were at home, he had no choice but to be completely powerless in front of the huge body of the ice dragon, and was easily fanned away.

"Shirou, hide behind me!" Even at this time, the girl's first consideration was my safety. Straight in front of me.

"No, Your Majesty the Knight King, you and Lord Weigong will be protected by me!" Then, the strong man Buck stood in front of the girl without thinking.

"Go down, all of you! I can fight! Straight through the two human walls and rushing to the front, I yelled at the boy, "Ios! What do you want?! ”

…………

"I don't know, it didn't take my orders at all, and ran out on its own! Fenrir, are you crazy? I order you to come back as a master! ”

Ios, who was held to his throat with a short knife by Kai, yelled anxiously.

However, the ice dragon Fenrir, who was usually extremely respectful to Ios, completely ignored his words at the moment.

…………

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the ice dragon's massive body slammed into the ground in front of us.

…………

"Damn, I can only fight hard." Sixteen Noble Phantasms were summoned directly.

The last time we met, the strength of the ice dragon made my heart tremble.

So I didn't dare to spare my hand at all, so I used the strongest killing move when I came up.

Without hesitation, shoot all the treasures.

…………

An ice mirror condensed in front of the ice dragon, taking all my attacks.

The sound of ice and metal colliding was constantly resounding.

…………

The last Noble Phantasm fell, and the Ice Mirror just shattered.

It seems that after making a pact with Ios as a guardian beast, its strength has become stronger again!

Now I can't help it at all!

…………

"Shirou step aside, let me come!" The voice fell, and the girl's body had already rushed out from behind.

Wang Jian condensed dazzling golden light, which was a blow that condensed the strength of the girl's whole body.

This is also a blow that condenses all the girl's determination.

The girl has decided to fight to the death with the ice dragon!

…………

However, a dramatic scene emerged.

The moment the girl appeared, the ice dragon's hind limbs bent and fell to his knees like that.

The girl's movements suddenly stopped.

In the next moment, the ice dragon's forelimbs and dragon head were deeply attached to the ground at the same time.

…………

"Your Highness the Red Dragon, your subordinates have finally found you!"
