Chapter 38: The King's Feast, the Dead's Feast
The ruins of the gymnasium. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Has it begun, the banquet of the dead......" The bearded Verricos, who had woken up from a hangover, opened his eyes, a dark and strange gaze, a gaze that seemed to devour everything. The spiritual veins under the ruins of the gymnasium shook.
Shirou, who was buried in the center of the spiritual vein, finally died at this moment, and with Shirou's death, a huge shocking magic power poured into the body of the bearded Verlidus. This is the aura accumulated over the years by the spiritual vein node of Fuyuki City. It is the remaining spiritual power of the great spiritual vein of Fuyuki City after building the Holy Grail.
The shaking of the space, the dark shadows, told Verlidus, that the final moment had come, that the banquet belonging to the dead had been held, and that someone had gathered the remaining dead together.
"Has the end of the battle arrived? It seems that even I have to take it a little more seriously. Looking at the three spells in his hand, the bearded Verricus grinned, turned into a shadow, and disappeared into the dark gymnasium.
…………………………
“?” Suddenly, Saber felt a chill that brought her back from her thoughts.
That was the sight of Archer Gilgamesh.
The Golden Servant had left Saber Artoria in the hands of Rider Iskandar from the very beginning. I sat on the side and drank leisurely. His crimson eyes. I don't know when I looked at her carefully.
He didn't speak, and he couldn't see any intentions from his gaze alone, but there was a **** smell in his gaze, as if a snake was crawling on his body, which made people feel humiliated and unhappy.
“…… Archer, why are you looking at me?"
"Ah, I'm just appreciating your distressed expression." Archer's smile was unexpectedly gentle, but terrifying. "I like the expression of a virgin who is scattering flowers on a couch. It's really great to be able to appreciate such delicacy in the last moments, you are really a masterpiece, work hard, Knight King, sometimes I think you are still very cute! Hahaha!! ”
"You ......" is an unforgivable fool to Saber Artoria. Without hesitation, she smashed the cup to the ground, her face filled with uncontrollable anger.
But in the next second, Saber Artoria's face turned ugly. A moment later, Alice Phil, Webber, and Emiya Kiritsugu also noticed something strange in the air around them. Although I can't see it, I can feel a very strong killing intent on my skin.
"Did you drop the cup!? Well, I still want to continue the banquet, but it seems that there is not enough time, so let's end the banquet. Saber, rider, what do you think? Looking at the golden wine glass on the ground, Archer Gilgamesh, who had put away the king's wine, shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Saber Artoria and Rider Iskandar, and asked, "How about going to war now?" ”
It's an interrogative sentence, but it's in the tone of an affirmative sentence, which is not so much an inquiry as an informing. As he spoke, a terrible pressure rose on Archer's Gilgamesh, which was the oppression of the Hero King, and the killing intent of killing the gods.
"It's terrible, it's terrible." Shocked by Archer's horrific murderous intent, Webber let out a sigh that bordered on screaming.
"Do you mean...... Do you want to go to war now?" Alice Phil, who was also suppressed by Archer's murderous aura, muttered in pain.
In the face of archer Gilgamesh's murderous intent, Saber Artoria couldn't help but shudder. This terrifying killing intent, this terrifying momentum, this ...... Everything shows that Archer Gilgamesh is not simply a being. Even if she's one of the most powerful in the Servant, that's quite a threat.
"It's time to get serious." The golden sword in her hand shone brightly, and Saber Artoria gritted her teeth with hatred.
Saber Artoria would never admit defeat if attacked from the front, but only if Saber Artoria was the only one facing the enemy.
Now Saber Artoria has to protect Alice Phil. In this case, Saber Artoria is not sure to resist the near-infinite rain of Archer Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasmiums, whether or not these Phantasmas are real-name liberation, but they are quite a threat to humanity. Phantasms are Phantasms, even if they are Alice Phil, the android of Einzbelen, who can use first-class magic, but magic alone can't stop Phantasms. It was impossible for her to protect herself on her own.
Therefore, if you want to fight while protecting your companions, the treasure of King Gilgameshna, which has a large number of treasures, has become a very urgent problem.
Saber Artoria is not berserker Lancelot, she has infinite martial arts, how many noble Phantasms can be stopped under the Sword of Victory? - No, it's not a question of how many noble Phantasms can be stopped. At this time, even missing a treasure can cause significant trauma to Alice Phil.
So, the question now is not "whether it can be stopped", but "whether it can solve everything with one blow". The number of Archer Gilgamesh's treasures is desperately numerous.
Even, even without Alice Phil's drag, whether Saber Artoria would be able to do Archer Gilgamesh is a big question.
The Hero King is too strong, the powerful is a bit excessive, and the Infinite Treasure's Treasure is not just a treasure to shoot out. Infinite adaptability is the most powerful thing about this treasure of kings.
Because there are infinite Noble Phantasms, no matter what kind of enemy they are, they can always choose the best Noble Phantasm to deal with. What a bug this is.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Gamer, Archer Gilgamesh, the Hero King Gilgamesh, and the Ancient King Gilgamesh would have been able to sweep through the entire Holy Grail War.
…………………………
Yanagi Temple.
"Aoko, it's time to go." Turning the magic guide into a magic wand and changing into a pure white protective suit, the girl Magister Mingyue Song, looked at Aoko Aosaki who was lying on the bed, and said softly.
"Hey, Xiaojiao, I see." Aoko Aosaki, who jumped off the bed with some weak energy, looked at the Magister Mingyue Song, and asked softly: "Na, Xiao Song, how is Youzhu now, she is okay." ”
Regarding the Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu who was abducted by Zheng Shuanglong, Aoko Cangsaki was really worried.
Hearing Aoko's question, Mingyue turned her head slightly, and said super cutely: "The ruins of the Tong Mansion are closed by the formation, and the wide-area exploration magic cannot detect the specific situation, but the light of life of the pearl of the long temple is still shining. ”
"Is the light of life still shining?" Listening to Mingyue's words, Aozaki Aoko seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Mingyue: "Then, let's go, Xiaoyue, it's time for us to step into the battlefield." ”
Listening to Aozaki Aoko's words, looking at Aozaki Aoko's resolute expression, Mingyue said with some hesitation: "Aozaki, you don't actually have to go to the battlefield, as long as you use the three spells and hide in the magic array I set up, you should be able to avoid the detection of those guys......"
Stretched out his hand and gently pressed Mingyue's small mouth, and embraced Mingyue's arms Aoko Cangzaki, and said softly: "No, let Xiaoyue go to the battlefield alone, Qingzi I won't rest assured." Xiao Song is still so young and has to go to the battlefield and engage in a brutal fight, in such a situation, how can I let Xiao Song alone. ”
Looking at the blushing face and the delicate and lovely face of Mingyue in her arms, Aozaki Qingzi smiled confidently and said, "Moreover, Qingzi, I am not without self-preservation. Although I'm still a little unskilled, I'm also the fifth magician, the magician of the three primary colors, blue. ”
"This kind of me, even if I am the strongest ancestor, a heroic spirit who transcends common sense, a rare magician, and an extraordinary existence, I am not without the power to fight."
With the help of Mingyue Song, the magic mark was activated, and the magic mark inherited from the fifth method was no longer the rookie magician, but the magician of one of the most high-end combat forces in the Moon World.
Even in the face of the legendary Heroic Spirit, he has the power to fight.
Looking at Aozaki Aoko's sincere gaze, the bright moon in his heart warmed, nodded heavily, and flew quickly towards Einzberen Castle with Aoko Aosaki.
Super strong self, plus the equally super strong Aoko Aosaki, under the combination of the two, Mingyue Song believes that no matter who can fight, he can win.
After all, a gamer who participates in the official Game Life Contest for the first time, even if he is excellent, does not yet have the ability to overturn the entire Moon World! Otherwise, the first game battlefield would not have been chosen in this Fuyuki City, otherwise, the Holy Grail system would not have been able to restrain itself.
Aoko Aosaki is really good as her host. It's really good that the magic system that he is proficient in can help Aozaki Aoko. It's really great to have a magician who genuinely confronts his enemies with him.
The Magician is not just a clone, it is a replica, and it is an incomplete servant that can be compared.

Einzberen Castle, atrium.
Although it was pleasant to see the face of archer Gilgamesh, who was known as the strongest Saber, changed his face drastically, the truth was that she was not the target of archer Gilgamesh.
Archer Gilgamesh's initial target was Rider Iskander. At the King's Banquet, the heroic king Gilgamesh had already been announced. He's going to kill him. This is the greatest glory that the king of heroes has given to the king of conquest.
Although he does not agree with the royal path of the conquering king, the hero king Gilgamesh agrees with the existence of the conquering king Iskandar. Therefore, to slay Iskandar, the king of conquest, with the Arcana, that is the glory that Gilgamesh has given to Iskandar.
In Gilgamesh's view, dying under his own treasure would not insult the glory of Iskander. Even the greatest glory of Iskander.
Yes, this was a dangerous moment for the conquering king Iskandar. This is true in the eyes of Saber Artoria, Weber, Emiya Kiritsugu, Alice Fell, and others.
But - why is the giant Servant still drinking leisurely? Drink the super wine that Gilgamesh has to offer, the King's Wine.
“…… Ri-Rider, hey, hey......" Even though Webb shouted uneasily from the outright murderous intent, Rider Iskandar still didn't do anything. He looked at Archer Gilgamesh's eyes with composure.
"Hey, kids, don't be so embarrassed. Isn't there a tragic fight coming soon, and the wine is still drinking. ”
"It's drinking time!?"
Rider Iskandar smiled bitterly and sighed, then faced archer Gilgamesh and greeted him flatly: "I said archer, can you restrain the murderous aura on your body?" My friend was terrified of you. Of course, I know you're going to fight, but can you let me drink the wine in front of me? ”
As he spoke, Rider Iskandar of course shook the wine glass in his hand and drained it in one gulp.
Rider Iskandar's words fell, and Saber Artoria thought she had misheard, and even Archer Gilgamesh frowned. "Stalling for time?"
"No, it doesn't mean to stall, but, before that, shouldn't you drink the remnants of wine first?" Rider Iskandar's smile was so innocent that it was hard to imagine that he would face a death match next. I saw him urging the hero king: "Although I drank a lot, there is still a little left in the bottle." You don't want to hide it from my eyes. ”
"It's really worthy of being the king of usurpation, and he looks so closely at other people's things." Listening to Rider Iskander's words, Archer Gilgamesh smiled wryly and took a full set of drinking utensils from the King's Treasure, and poured the remaining God's Famous Wine from the bottom of the bottle into the two wine glasses. The two kings solemnly raised their glasses to each other like boxers with their fists in motion.
Although he was laughing, his ruthless murderous aura did not diminish in the slightest. For this golden king, killing intent and pleasure are basically synonymous.
The two kings drank the last of the wine, threw away the glasses, and turned to leave. Neither of them looked back again, and each walked straight to either end of the courtyard.
Webb nervously watched the two of them toast for the last time, and sighed as he welcomed the king's return.
"Do you really have a good relationship?"
"Sort of. But now it's time to face each other. He may be the last person in my life to make eye contact with him, how can he not be polite. ”
“…… Don't say stupid things. Webb retorted to the half-joking Iskandar in a low voice, "How could you die?" I don't agree, you're the famous King of Conquerors! ”
"yes, oh, yes."
Before the words fell, a whirlwind whistled.
The wind was hot and dry, as if it were about to burn everything. It wasn't like a forest at night, or the wind in the atrium of a castle - it came from the desert and roared in your ears. (To be continued.) )
