2 a.m.

The sleeping streets were quieter than usual. Probably because of the fear of frequent strange events, people who are accustomed to night activities have also heeded the authorities' advice not to go out at night and stayed at home honestly. There was not even a single car in sight on the street, only the asphalt pavement pale from the street lamps in the cold of the winter night.

The deserted streets give the illusion of being in a scene of toys of equal proportions. If places beyond the reach of ordinary people are called "otherworldly", this is undoubtedly the case in Fuyuki City at night.

A steed walked through the unusual scenery as if no one was around. Webb sat on that throbbing back, galloping toward death. Behind him was the broad, thick bosom of the King of Conquest, so close that he could almost feel the roaring agitation.

If he survived tonight, Webb would never forget this tense and serene sense of exaltation for the rest of his life. There are times in the world that are called "real times." It is the moment when the soul is liberated from all deception and whitewashing, and the whole world is accepted calmly and in awe of it. And that's exactly what Webb is doing now. There is no need to search for all kinds of mysteries and contradictions in the world, just accept them calmly. The meaning of life and death can be understood without words. It is a time of supreme happiness to be liberated from all the confusion and confusion of a miserable life.

The mount leisurely walked through the sleepy streets and leaped towards the riverbank shrouded in night. In the silence of the moonlit night, the bridge at the destination is illuminated by the ethereal mercury lamp.

"Rider, that's ......"

Webber stretched out his finger and bowed his head slightly in affirmation.

The majestic figure was on a bridge as bright as day. But as if mocking the artificial lights as fakes, the whole body is golden. Shine brightly. Although they were hundreds of meters away, the harshness and coldness in his crimson eyes still made Webb tremble. Immobile.

Servant. Archer, Hero King Gilgamesh -

Webb was not unprepared. He knew that the opponent would have to face sooner or later. Despite this, once he really faced himself, the sense of oppression brought by the majestic other party still penetrated the heavy protection and directly crushed his soul core.

"Are you scared, boy?"

Rider sensed Webb's tremor and asked softly. The boy did not blask and nodded honestly.

"Well, scared. Or rather. Is this what you call 'rejoicing'? ”

The King of Conquest smiled triumphantly when he heard the tense answer.

"That's right. The stronger the enemy, the more passionate the desire to drink the wine of victory. Hmph, you've become smart, too. ”

Busefarus carried the roaring Rider to the bridge in a dignified manner.

The first encounter was undoubtedly the last. The original king of heroes and the legendary king of conquest. For the two who both want to take possession of the four-lane road for themselves, the other party is the biggest obstacle in their way. The two met on the bridge on a narrow road, and there was no way to retreat or avoid. The two kings compete, and that is the destined battlefield.

As if sensing the rider's will, Busefarus stopped all four hooves. Rider stroked the horse's mane in encouragement.

"Boy. You wait here first. ”

"Ahh

Rider rolls over and dismounts, and walks leisurely towards the enemy who is waiting for him.

Archer approached proudly, as if he had made an appointment in advance.

They are not only fighters who learn martial arts, but also opponents who compete for hegemony. That being the case, etiquette must be observed before the confrontation.

"Rider, where's the vehicle you're proud of?"

Archer asked, nervous.

"Ahh That's it. Well, let Saber snatch it. It's infuriating. ”

Rider shrugged unhurriedly. Archer narrowed her blood-colored eyes and stared straight at him.

“…… Have you forgotten my decision? I should have said that I was going to beat you when you were in perfect form. ”

"Hmm. It seems like that's the case. ”

Rider scoffed at Archer's intimidation, tilted the corners of his mouth in a bold, hideous way, and smiled.

"My gear was really consumed. But don't underestimate me, King Hero. Tonight's Iskandar is beyond perfection because it is not perfect. ”

Although that was a bit far-fetched, Archer didn't laugh it off, and instead looked Rider up and down with piercing eyes, wishing he could chop him into meat sauce.

I see. Your kingly aura that fills your whole body is truly extraordinary. Hmph, it looks like you've had a plan for a long time. ”

In fact, despite the loss of a Noble Phantasm, the total amount of mana rolling around Rider was several levels higher than before. The three consumption spells that I thought Weber had "wasted" were unexpectedly working.

The forced effect of the spell decreases depending on the general nature of its contents. At this point, Weber's order just now was not specific in the slightest, and from the point of view of use, it was equivalent to wasting three spells in vain. On the other hand, if the Spell is not used to distort the Servant's will, but is based on the common will of the two, it is not just a coercive force, but an augmentation to assist the Servant's actions. In this case, just like the "spatial transfer" achieved by Kiritsugu's Saber, the reich sometimes subverts the common sense of magic, making miracles that are close to "magic" possible.

While the method itself does weaken the effect of the spell, due to the Servant's intent and the fact that it is a succession of three spells, Webb's spell does work against Rider - as long as Rider's actions are intended to "win", he will receive an extraordinary amount of enhanced mana. In short, Rider is now in "great shape" like never before.

"Na Archer. Speaking of declarations, we have one more agreement at the previous banquet. ”

"Do you mean the conclusion that you and I can only meet each other with halberds?"

"Shouldn't we have drunk the remnants of wine before that?"

Rider's smile was innocent. It's hard to imagine that he will face a death match next. I saw him urging the hero to be king.

"Although I was disturbed by a bastard who didn't understand the amorous feelings...... But there's 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."

Archer smiled wryly and fetched a full set of drinking utensils from the "treasure trove" of another world. He poured the remaining Kamidai sake at the bottom of the bottle into two glasses. The two kings solemnly raised their glasses to each other like boxers with their fists in motion.

"O king of Babylonia. Allow me to conclude the feast with one last question. ”

"Quasi-play, you say."

Although Iskandar held his glass seriously, his eyes showed a childish childishness.

"For example, if my 'King's Army' were armed with your 'King's Treasure', it would definitely be an invincible army. What Western presidents and the like are not even as good as a fart. ”

"Hmm, so what?"

"I ask again, do you want to make an alliance with me? As long as we join forces. You will definitely be able to hit the end of the sea of stars. ”

The Hero King laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You're such a funny guy. It's been a long time since I've laughed so much at a puppet's words. ”

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.

"Unfortunately, I don't need a second friend. My friend has always been one person. - And there is no need for two kings in this world. ”

Although he was rejected by the other party, the King of Conquest did not show the slightest disappointment, and just nodded quietly.

"Is it the royal road of the lonely high. Your determined way of survival, let me dare to challenge it. ”

"Good. Just express yourself. Conquer the King. You are a thief worthy of my own judgment. ”

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 back to the bridge.

"Slow down, slow down. You're not each other, it's me......" A voice suddenly rang out.

This unexpected sound made the two kings look sideways.

"It's you. The so-called Eighth Heroic Spirit ......" the King of Conquest laughed.

Regarding the identity of Li Amen's eighth job introduction Yingling, it actually can't stand scrutiny. Ryunosuke's true identity has been investigated by someone with a heart, so it's no secret that Amen Lee is the real Caster.

The Hero King didn't mean to speak. But after being stunned suddenly, he said angrily: "Bastard, it's really bold to let Qili suddenly convey such a request......"

The King of Conquest glanced at the King of Heroes suspiciously, not knowing what the other party meant.

Li Amen seemed to see this, and said with a smile: "Conquer the king, the combination of 'king's army' and 'king's treasure', you can't see it yourself, so let me experiment with all this, how about it?" ”

"What?" The King of Conquest wondered, "How can you do that?" ”

"Bastard, do you know what you're talking about?" The Hero King seemed to know something from Qili, and said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry about these little things, you'll be able to see them afterwards anyway." Li Amen smiled, "So, are you ready?" I'm about to get on it! ”

Is this going to be a one-on-two rhythm? Even Weber, who was a bystander, saw the mystery at this time.

How could Caster dare to do this? Webb didn't understand it at all.

"Hey, didn't you say that the next time we meet, let Rider stay behind? Do you still want to teach me something? If you die like this, won't it all be gone? Webb seems to care more about this than anything else.

"Don't worry, although I will definitely die, I have left a way back before I die, and I have everything ready." Amen laughed.

The king of conquest was dumbfounded, since he knew that this was a death or a return?

Even though the Hero King had just heard about Li Amen's crazy plan from Qili, he still couldn't think of this idea in front of him.

"Can you start fighting? My grass and mud horses have been hungry and thirsty!! Li Amen summoned a large number of grass and mud horses and said provocatively at the two kings. (To be continued......)
