"It actually has such a terrifying characteristic that it melts at the entrance. I wonder if I can meet such a bonded spirit."
Walking on the street, Roland thought about the scene just now. Without the Key of All Spirits, even if the compatibility is very suitable, the person possessed by the bonded spirit will be contaminated by knowledge and have an alienated personality.
For example, influence and representation, these things are always present in the possessed person. Even if he perfectly meets the digestion requirements, this ending cannot be avoided.
But to be honest, Roland felt that it made no difference to Kotomine Kirei. He couldn't escape the category of a twister anyway.
"Berserker has already taken care of the four servants. The remaining three places, if all goes well, will be decided in the next two days. Don't let me down, Darnic."
——
"Rider! Stop playing, come on, there may be a big battle next."
In the huge suite, Weber opened the door furiously and called out to the king who was sitting in front of the TV and addicted to the strategy game.
Iskandar didn't even raise his head, staring intently at the screen in front of him.
"What happened? Did my master come up with another genius strategy? If so, boy, don't be busy and play two games with me."
Iskandar expressed his emotions in a somewhat unhappy tone. He has always been a straightforward person. Since the last dispute with Kenneth, the two broke up on bad terms.
After that, it was all thanks to Weber's maneuvering and acting as the lubricant between the master and slave that Kenneth accepted the division of labor in which the rider usually decides whether to attack, while he concentrates on dealing with the master.
After seeing the master regressing, Iskandar did not push forward, but his usual conversation with Kenneth inevitably fell into a freezing point.
"I don't have time to play games with you! This time it's because another master sent a familiar and issued a formal declaration of war."
Weber also looked unfazed by the game-obsessed King of Conquerors and quickly stated the theme.
"oh?"
Upon hearing the news, Rider paused, put his hand down from the handle, and touched his chin.
"It seems that this king is being treated as a soft persimmon."
Although Kenneth's workshop is also very conspicuous, the same is true for the Yusan family. After seeing the fighting prowess of many servants, choosing to challenge Rider is an act of contempt.
"Maybe it's because Kenneth-sensei's workshop is too scary. Even if the servants invade, they won't be able to accomplish anything in one blow."
Weber complained that since the last experience, although Kenneth turned blue and was shaking with anger, he still agreed with Weber's suggestion and let the workshop's barrier cover the entire building. For this reason, although the barrier was lowered strength, but the safety can be said to be greatly improved.
"Do you know who made the declaration of war?"
Iskandar frowned and asked with a confused look on his face.
But when he mentioned this person's name, Weber became hesitant.
"It's Darnic, the Lancer's master."
The old god Kenneth walked in and said calmly, but even Webb could hear that his voice was as cold as a cold wind passing by.
"Does that shameless guy actually think that Kenneth, I, can be eliminated first? He just drew a good card."
Kenneth snorted coldly, not caring at all that his servant was right next to him.
"It's Enkidu after all, hahahaha!"
Iskandar, who has gradually become accustomed to Kenneth's low emotional intelligence speech from time to time, is not much annoyed, but just said with interest.
"In this Holy Grail War, I guess only Jin Shining can be his enemy."
"If that's the case, then you don't have to worry about the difference in masters at all. You just need to focus on choosing excellent holy relics."
Kenneth waved his hand nonchalantly, "Darnic hopes to let the servants fight at a distance on their own, and then as the master, he and I will also fight alone."
"I always feel like I'm cheating... It's so unreasonable to give up this advantage and choose a one-on-one match between masters even though my followers have an advantage."
Weber pondered and said that in the past few days of getting along with each other, he has understood that his teacher is a real genius. In a battle between magicians, it is difficult for him to lose.
"I've already agreed."
But Kenneth said something surprising.
"Hey, hey, hey! Teacher Kenneth, why are you doing this?"
Weber was stunned, looking puzzled.
"Because this is also an opportunity. Rider, if you can hold off Lancer, I will be confident that Darnic will be dealt with quickly. In this case, we can turn the disadvantage into an advantage and turn defeat into victory."
Facing Weber's question, Kenneth replied.
"What about the risks?"
Iskandar nodded, uncharacteristically not contradicting Kenneth, but agreed with the decision.
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Weber, who looked inconspicuous between the two.
"Boy, I want to hear your opinion."
"But I'm not the master..."
Usually when he doesn't need to speak, Weber can always quickly understand the clues of various things, but when the decision-making power is really handed over to him, he becomes timid.
"I also want to hear your opinion, classmate Weber," Kenneth also glanced over: "After all, unlike the incompetent person I imagined, you don't seem to be completely useless."
In the past, Webber would have jumped in anger upon hearing this kind of comment, but now, he has understood that this is Kenneth's unique way of complimenting him.
So he just raised his head and looked at Kenneth without fear with firm eyes.
"The trap is that if we want to fight Darnic during the duel between Lancer and Rider, we must leave this fortress-like workshop, because no magician would be stupid enough to do it in the enemy's workshop. It’s a one-on-one duel, not to mention that Teacher Kenneth is El-Melloi from the monarch family.”
"That's right, Classmate Weber," Kenneth nodded secretly, with a bit of satisfaction in his eyes, "Compared to the crude and dangerous method of blowing up the bomb directly, a truly resourceful magician will use upright conspiracy to force You leave your workshop."
"That guy's nickname is Eight Tongues. It's impossible not to think of this strategy. Therefore, there is a possibility of a trap in this battle. The question is, do we have the courage to face it? And whether we have this courage, That’s the first lesson I want to teach you.”
Are you going to join this dangerous battle?
This was the hint hidden in Kenneth's words. Being watched like this, he unconsciously wanted to retreat.
He has witnessed the battle of the servants with his own eyes and witnessed the determination required in this fight. This is still the result of being under the wings of Teacher Kenneth. Is he really sure that he will not drag down his teacher in such a battle?
Compared to these enlightened magicians, his own preparation and determination were nothing to mention. Although he felt complacent at first because his suggestions made up for Kenneth's loopholes, now, Webber has gradually faded away. Astringent, accepting one's own insignificance.
Such an opportunity will never come again. Maybe this Holy Grail War is an important opportunity for his destiny to change.
Weber no longer hesitated and expressed his inner decision.
"Teacher Kenneth, I want to go with you!"
"Hmph," Kenneth raised his brows and felt much better. "He barely looks like he came out of El-Melloi's classroom."
Although his words were as arrogant as ever.
"That guy Darnik, no matter how good he is, can't change the fact that only his generation can truly become an elite magician. Under the same circumstances that he has left the workshop, no matter how high you think of him, he is nothing more than a third-rate magician. The magician is just using fourth-rate magic, so there is no way he can defeat me."
Kenneth narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the fully cultivated Moon Spirit Marrow on the table, and smiled.
Facing a battle between servants, Kenneth had no confidence, but if it was between magicians, it was completely different.
"The rhythm of this Holy Grail War has finally returned to my control. Now I am invincible!"
"oh--!"
Iskandar also clenched his fists for a long time and started cheering.
——
When it was about dusk, due to the early martial law brought about by many recent gas explosions, Fuyuki City fell into silence for the first time in a long time before the sunset had completely set.
Iskandar drove the Kamui Wheel alone and leisurely arrived at the mountain range dozens of kilometers away from the national highway in Fuyuki City. This was the decisive battle site left by the Lancer group.
Although he considered whether this was a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Rider did not think that his mobility would be underestimated to this extent.
Sure enough, in this remote mountain range, the Lancer with a deep aura was quietly stroking the trees beside him. Although he was dressed in white, his inhuman beauty still shone brightly in the dusk light.
Enkidu raised his head, looked at the rider who came with thunderous momentum, and showed a helpless smile.
"You're actually here, Rider. I originally heard the master say that you would abandon your station and take the initiative. I thought it was a joke."
"If you want to use this kind of intimidation to attack me, Lancer, you have chosen the wrong target."
Lancer just sighed with his usual pitiful expression, "No, I'm just lamenting the fate your master will face next. If he hides in the workshop, my master may still choose to wait, but this way he has entered a trap. , you are seeking your own death."
Perhaps because of the unfalsifiable emotion in Enkidu's words, Iskandar also had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Why, are you looking down on my courage? Or are you looking down on my master?"
"I'm just stating a fact. Your master will die in the hands of my master. I originally thought that he would lie dormant for a while that day, but unexpectedly it got worse."
Lancer said in a sad tone: "Although you may not believe it, I don't want to see this situation happen, but unfortunately, everything is irreversible."
"Who said that? Although I don't understand what the words in your mouth mean, but in short, I just want to knock you down quickly here!"
"Yes, but unfortunately, the master gave me an order to stop you, so it is impossible for this to happen."
"It's impossible to tell..."
Rider shrugged and let the blazing wind whip up the winter mountains.
The dry landscape, dazzling sunshine, and thirsty scorching desert replaced the surrounding environment, and the mirage-like army once again gathered under Iskandar's sword.
"Lancer, I know you may think my words are just meaningless lies, but after seeing the eternal scenery in my heart, can you still maintain this confidence?"
The big red cloak behind Iskandar was flying with the strong wind, just like the most eye-catching military flag.
"My goal is the end of the world, in order to see the scenery of the endless sea. This is the common wish of compatriots gathered under the same dream. Lancer, you will be the first step in my journey to Iskandar. !”
Iskandar roared angrily, and the troops behind him also responded, joining in the roaring chorus.
"Exactly! Exactly!"
In the army behind him, the tall horse as majestic as a bull, Iskandar's childhood ace, Bracefas also snorted and walked to Iskandar's side.
"This is my most powerful Noble Phantasm, Iskandar, the power of the King's Army!"
"Ah, what a shocking unfolding."
Lancer looked at this vast and boundless world, but he did not feel afraid. Instead, he had a look of nostalgia on his face.
"Different hearts, moving forward for one goal, gathering under one goal, human beings are really interesting."
He squatted down, touched the lifeless desert, and showed a sincere smile.
"Rider, no matter if you mean it or not, I want to thank you. No extra life here will be harmed by me, so in return..."
The king who never stops on his domineering journey has told himself his ambitions and dreams so seriously and created such a suitable stage. Then, he must also respond.
Enkidu was thinking this way, and the next moment, in the lifeless desert, tiny flowers bursting out of the ground inexplicably, holding buds ready to bloom.
"Next, I'm going to challenge you with all my strength, Rider."
In response to his call, the planet chirped.
With Lancer as the center, circles of invisible ripples unfolded under his feet, and a large amount of magic spewed out. This was the wedge that connected heaven and earth, humans and gods.
Enkidu opened his arms and with a joyful smile announced the reappearance of the miracle.
"O people, I hope to bind the gods! (Enuma Elish)"
The next moment, the buds bloomed one after another, and the vast magic turned into a spear that could penetrate the world, turning the scorching desert into a day, and rising into the sky in an instant!
