Chapter 5: In the Dark
"Come out! There must be someone else. Hide in the dark and peek at our accomplices! ”
Lancer looked surprised.
"- What's wrong with you? Rider" Rider gave a thumbs up to Lancer who asked him, "Lancer, and that black knight, the battle between you is really exciting, and the sword halberd makes such a crisp collision sound, I'm afraid there is more than one heroic spirit drawn out." ”
As Rider's words fell, Saber, who was hiding in the shadows, wanted to rush out, but Valhalla stopped him, "Let me go, you who have lost your treasure, and when you can recover what you lost, you will be qualified to stand on this stage." ”
"You!" Saber gritted the corners of his mouth and a word popped out from between his teeth, as if he was full of resentment towards Valhalla.
"Pathetic. How pathetic! Heroes gathered in Fuyuki. Don't you feel anything when you see the spirit of the Black Knight and Lancer here? It's cowardly to have a real name worth boasting about, but secretly keep peeking here. The Immortals will panic when they hear this, huh!? ”
After a loud laugh. Rider tilted his head slightly, the corners of his mouth showed a fearless look, and finally looked around with a defiant look.
"Heroic spirits who have been invited by the Holy Grail War, gather here now. Cowards, who are afraid to even show their faces, lest Iskander, the king of conquests, insult you, give me enlightenment! ”
"Are you the famous King of Conquest Iskandar," as the dark red light condensed, Valhalla Palace appeared on a shipping container not far from Lancer and Rider, and the 'Cadre' and 'Mo Evil' in his hand flashed with dazzling light, "I never thought that the Fourth Holy Grail War would be such an opening, and the protagonists of this war seem to have been these 'kings' from the beginning!" ”
The momentum on Iskandar's body is not particularly powerful for the Guardian Guard, but with his heroic voice, it makes the Valhalla Palace not want to use any despicable means against him at all in his heart, and just wants to fight him well, is this the 'power of the king'? The power that only a true king has.
“…… This man is so stupid. ”
From the distant Tosaka Mansion, such an extremely unpleasant sentence came out.
Although Qili does not know the person who spoke is where. But he still frowned and nodded.
"Stupid indeed."
Neither Tokitomi nor Kiri were able to scoff at Rider's nonsense like Kiritsugu Emiya. The reason for this is because they thought of the same Heroic Spirit at the same time, and this Heroic Spirit would never ignore Rider's provocative words.
"People who don't take me in their eyes and call themselves 'kings' without knowing the height of the sky are really hopeless mongrels."
As Rider looked at the Valhalla, a golden glow appeared on top of the lamppost on the side of the road.
"That's it!" Not only Valhalla, but even Webb's pupils were similarly dilated.
The man who started the tragedy of Shirou Emiya,
Iskandar conquered the man whom the king hated and died.
Just stand there.
Feeling Weber's uneasiness, the King of Conquest was also secretly surprised, "Is this the person who made me fail 'ten years ago'?" This time, I will overcome you. ”
"Even if you speak out of your mouth...... I, Iskander, am also the world's most famous conquering king. ”
"I am the only hero who can truly be called the king between heaven and earth. The rest are just some mongrels. ”
Gilgamesh simply uttered a declaration that could not be more than an insult. Even Saber was surprised that the ground was colorless, but Rider was tolerant and a little surprised and sighed.
"When you talk about this, how about reporting your name first? If you were a king, wouldn't you be afraid of your own prestige? ”
Just as Gilgamesh was about to reply and continue to taunt Iskander, he suddenly felt a gaze.
"Bastard, do you want this king to look up to you! Who has given you permission to look your eyes into this king? ”
"Sure enough, it's still the same excessive!"
In an instant, the King's Treasury suddenly opened, and several Noble Phantasms were thrown out by Gilgamesh, but Valhalla managed to dodge them.
"Self-proclaimed king, but extremely selfish guy, get out of the game!"
Obviously it was only for a moment, but Valhalla seemed to recall the pain that this man had brought to everyone in countless reincarnations. If this is the starting point of reincarnation, let me just end him!
Lancer and Rider were also stunned to see the 'unknown Heroic Spirit' dressed in red, and suddenly appeared behind Gilgamesh, and the long knife in his hand was about to hit Gilgamesh's throat. It seems that this invincible king is about to fall in the first battle......
However, this knife failed.
Gilgamesh, who was kneeling in the basement of Tosaka's house, gasped, and just at the last moment, Shi Chen used the spell in time, allowing Gilgamesh to escape death, "What an interesting bastard!" Relieved, Shi Chen could no longer feel the banter of his past in Gilgamesh's gaze, and all that remained was endless anger.
"Did the spell escape......" Valhalla Palace really didn't expect that the other party's master's reaction speed would be so fast, and he would be able to save Gilgamesh from the fate of death. But he had a feeling, as if he had been hit.
"Well, little master. If that guy is a servant, do you know his identity? ”
Unlike the assassin who was killed last night, Rider feels that Valhalla is the real assassin.
"I don't know, this person ...... Not in my memory. Or rather, the Fourth Holy Grail War as I remember it is not what it is now...... There was no black knight, only another saber, and no this man in red, but another berserker in full armor. Weber's brows furrowed, could it be because he traveled through time and space, so he caused the time and space folds to produce a butterfly effect?
Seeing that the blow missed, before Rider and Lancer could react, Valhalla Palace immediately disappeared from everyone's sight. At the same time, he sent a signal to Emiya Kiritsugu, "Withdraw!" ”
Looking at Gilgamesh, who had returned safely, the weakened Tosaka Tokitomi finally barely showed a smile.
"You're doing a good job, Shichen."
"Thank you for your compliment." It finally succeeded, and Tosaka Toshitomi was also relieved. He never imagined that there would be such magic in this world.
'Time Overlap Spell', at the moment when Valhalla Palace appeared behind Gilgamesh, in fact, Tosaka Tokichen had already lost his 'servant', he didn't react at all, this invincible king would be killed instantly by the nameless man in red. But fortunately, he still has a 'magician' in his hands.
Seeing that his father had lost his 'Golden Flash', Rin could only beg Albert. And Albert couldn't help it, he didn't want to fight, so he gave Tosaka Toshitomi a magic similar to the magic in the 'Time Converter'.
This spell, which had fallen to the level of magic, was not as perfect as the 'Time Switcher', and Tosaka Tokitoto, who had returned from the day ahead, was caught in the moment when Gilgamesh was killed. Those who use this magic will be trapped in the time of their own transformation.
To put it simply, that is, although in the eyes of normal people, Tosaka Shichen is no different from ordinary people, but Tosaka Shichen himself is very uncomfortable. He returns from a day in the future, and the 'Overlapping Charm' will cause him to be cut into countless slow slow motions every second from now until the day later when the spell is used. But his mind remained the same.
The fastest time for humans to be able to command from the mind to the execution of the mind by the body is 0.2 seconds, but this is not the case at all for Tosaka Tokitomi. 0.2 seconds, for him, that's as long as 10 years.
Even Albert didn't recommend Tosaka Tokitomi to use the spell, as the price to pay was too great.
Tosaka, however, accuses Albert of not understanding the magician's hope for the Vortex of Root Evil.
"I didn't expect that there was a second big brother in this world......"
Ma Kiriju, who was imprisoned in a cage, looked at the black-haired girl sitting on the pink bed with a frightened face, and next to him was a young man who had already lost his mind due to torture, and it seemed that his name was Shirou.
"Grandpa, what kind of monster did you bring back from the Tosaka family!"
On the girl's desk, there is a purple crystal, and in the crystal is a white-haired man. It was the former Valhalla.
"But it's so strange, why even if I have reached such a powerful level, I am already one with the Holy Grail, but I still can't see my current sister." The girl muttered to herself, "Is my father so powerful?" I really want to eat him and try to find my sister. ”
"Yes, Saber, lancer, berserker...... Everybody have to be obedient. ”
