Chapter 95 The first battle ends.
“I can’t believe it! That Servant’s Martial Arts are truly breathtaking!”
In the distance of the seaside park, at the top of Miyagawa Bridge, a hearty exclamation pierced the night wind, echoing around.
Under a heavy, dignified crimson cloak, the burly man looked at his side, “Hey, Master, don’t you agree?”
Beside him, Waver Velvet was sprawled on a narrow railing, his face pale, his lips trembling, his eyes almost brimming with tears.
Even though the railing was icy cold, almost making Waver’s fingers feel frostbite, when his peripheral vision brushed against the abyss hundreds of meters below, his heart pounded as if it were about to explode, he fundamentally couldn’t let go.
Waver had no answer for his Servant’s exclamation.
If they were in a safe place, Waver would definitely agree with Alexander’s praise, or even groan in frustration.
That silver Servant, despite having 2 or 3 levels of disadvantage against the enemy, managed to gain the upper hand in 2 consecutive fierce battles.
Even if he wasn’t skilled in combat, Waver could understand from that aura that the opponent was undoubtedly a hero who could tear through the sky and become a legend throughout the countries.
But this wasn’t doing academic research at the school, this was a life-or-death Holy Grail War!
The stronger the enemy, the more dangerous he became!
However, Waver, who was battered by the fierce wind, the cold, and the high altitude, didn’t even have the strength to retort, he could only squeeze out a few words from his trembling teeth.
“No, no matter what, we should leave here first, right?”
Waver didn’t have much faith in his own suggestion.
Because this Servant was the legendary Alexander the Great, the conqueror who built the Macedonian Kingdom spanning 3 continents, Iskandar (Rider).
He didn’t know anything else, but that characteristic of being domineering and once he made a decision, he would never listen to anyone’s advice, Waver had experienced it many times.
If he had really persuaded him, he wouldn’t be standing here on this hundred-meter-high ledge shivering in the wind.
Sss, it’s so cold, will I catch a cold going back?
Waver, who was lost in his thoughts, saw Iskandar (Rider) nod in the next second, blurry as it was.
“You’re right. There’s no point in staying here any longer. Let’s all go down.”
There was a moment when In an Instant, Waver almost thought he was frozen and had auditory hallucinations.
“Ah? Really go on?”
Iskandar (Rider) pulled out a great sword from his battle skirt and swung it down in front of him.
A massive thunderbolt suddenly appeared, and the Macedonian Battle Chariot driven by twin bulls came charging in.
“Of course, that Servant’s Master is clearly not very capable; his Mana must be running low. I wanted to recruit him as a subordinate, a warrior for my future conquests! I can’t just let them keep fighting like this!”
If he could free his hands, Waver really felt like hitting his painfully throbbing head.
“What are you joking about! You actually want to save another Servant? Wouldn’t it be better if he died? That Servant is so strong; if he stays, it would be a real Trouble for us!”
Besides that, Waver had another reason for refusing that he didn’t dare to voice.
That is, the lady Sola-Ui down there, Waver was very familiar with her, although she might not necessarily recognize him.
After all, one is a transparent student with only a third-generation Magecraft background in the Clock Tower’s Spirit Summoning department.
The other is the daughter of the former head of the Spirit Summoning department, the Sofia family; even though she is not the legitimate heir of the Magic Crest, she remains out of reach for Waver.
However, for Waver, the more important identity of the other party is that she is the fiancée of his Teacher, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.
If Sola-Ui is here, then Kenneth must also be here.
Waver would not forget that Kenneth Teacher publicly humiliated him and then had his Holy Relic stolen by him.
Perhaps students always feel this way towards their teachers, having a natural sense of fear; even if they secretly hate them, the thought of meeting them still brings a mouse’s fear of a cat.
“But he has already made enemies with the other 2 powerful Servants, right? Now is a good time to win him over, and if we let him be eliminated like this, those 2 powerful Servants will target us.”
Waver was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing this.
It wasn’t that he doubted Iskandar (Rider)’s judgment; after all, he could also sense that the 3 Servants below were extremely threatening.
Although the silver Servant was strong, the lack of Mana was clearly a significant limitation.
Hearing such tactical thinking come from Iskandar (Rider), Waver momentarily forgot his fear of Kenneth being nearby.
“Rider… you actually think about these things? I thought you would just roar and charge down to defeat them.”
Iskandar (Rider) grinned, revealing a dazzlingly bright smile even under the night sky.
“Hahahaha! This king’s conquest of the world doesn’t rely solely on brute strength; wisdom and martial prowess are both essential aspects of my reign!”
Just as Waver was about to say something, he was grabbed like a chick by Iskandar (Rider) and jumped onto the Battle Chariot.
The overwhelming feeling of weightlessness and the breathtaking scenery that entered his vision before he could even close his eyes made Waver’s sanity collapse in an instant.
Tears just welled up.
Seaside Park.
Amidst the smoky ruins, a figure that had crashed to the ground like a golden carrot caught everyone’s attention.
However, almost everyone’s gaze was fixed on Noah.
They didn’t know whether to be amazed by Gilgamesh’s powerful Noble Phantasm or stunned by how he was immediately struck down by Noah.
But this silence was short-lived, and before Noah could recover from the exhaustion of having his Mana drained by the Large Number, he took the opportunity to land a fatal strike on Gilgamesh.
“You bastard!”
With his head pulled out of the ground, covered in dust, his hair disheveled, and his nose bleeding, Gilgamesh was no longer as composed as before.
His enraged, crimson eyes overflowed with a torrent of Bloodlust, and more than twice the amount of golden light burst forth from behind him.
A scorching, oppressive aura swept through the entire park, locking onto Noah.
Damn it, I hate these nouveau riche; each one of them is richer than me!
Seeing those glittering golden weapons, Noah almost drooled.
After fighting for 3 centuries, the only decent equipment Noah had was a sorrowful, top-grade sword; everything else was used as consumables.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t a game world, and he couldn’t kill and plunder.
With a tinge of regret, Noah began to mobilize his remaining Mana to see if he could strike Gilgamesh down.
While keeping a close eye on his surroundings, he looked for an opportunity to escape… or retreat.
What a joke; he hadn’t even reached his complete form yet, and it was too early to exit the stage!
He needed to go back and find Medea (Caster) to replenish his magical energy!
Just as the Bloodlust between Noah and Gilgamesh reached its peak, a sudden explosion echoed through the silent night sky.
A distant, glowing arc streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of purple, sparkling embers in its wake.
“Battle Chariot?”
“Is that really Rider?”
When the Lightning Arc drew near, the others present finally recognized that this was a Western-style Offensive Arts Battle Chariot.
However, instead of a warhorse hitched to the yoke, it was a muscular bull, its muscles rolling like waves, robust and powerful.
The bull wasn’t just stomping on the void; it was surrounded by purple lightning that spread out like a spider’s web.
Every time the ancient-looking Battle Chariot rolled through the void, it unleashed a stunning thunder that swept like waves beneath its wheels, accompanied by a rumbling sound that shook the atmosphere.
This sudden commotion caused both Noah and Gilgamesh to instinctively pause their charged Offensive Arts.
Under everyone’s gaze, as the Battle Chariot landed on the Ground, it retracted its dazzling lightning, revealing a figure of a robust man clad in a red cloak.
He stood majestically on the Battle Chariot’s platform, waving his powerful arms at Noah and Gilgamesh.
“I am the Conqueror King Iskandar (Rider)! I have descended in this Holy Grail War as the Rider class! Both of you, put away your weapons!”
One could say that his imposing presence matched his identity perfectly, right?
As soon as Iskandar (Rider) spoke, everyone on the field fell silent.
It’s important to know that once a Servant reveals their class and identity, it could easily lead others to grasp their Noble Phantasm and abilities.
Even Noah only dared to reveal his identity to Artoria because he relied on the fact that no one in this world recognized him.
“Fool! Idiot! Who reveals their identity like that!!”
Compared to Iskandar (Rider), Waver displayed the typical reaction of a normal Master.
Although tears and snot were streaming down his face, Waver still clutched Iskandar (Rider)’s collar, as if he wanted to hammer him to death.
But he was knocked down onto the Battle Chariot by a flick from Iskandar (Rider), left speechless and silently shedding tears.
At this moment, Waver really wished he could return to England.
“Warriors summoned by the Holy Grail! Before we engage in battle, I want to ask you what wishes and expectations you hold for the Holy Grail? Are you willing to offer the Holy Grail to me and enjoy the joy of conquering the world together?”
Although Iskandar (Rider) used many embellishments, the underlying meaning of wanting to recruit others as his subordinates was quite blatant.
Even Gilgamesh temporarily gave up on Noah, showing disdain towards Iskandar (Rider).
“Hmph! While this king is absent, 2 bastards dare to claim kingship at once. The so-called Holy Grail War is truly amusing.”
“Since hiding now is meaningless, I might as well respond to your spirit…”
Artoria also cast a cold glance,
“Whether in this life or the past, the only one I can pledge my loyalty to is my homeland, Britain…”
“Oh? The famous King Arthur is actually a little girl?”
After facing setbacks, Iskandar (Rider) couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards Noah, his expression filled with anticipation.
“So what about you? Unknown Servant? Your martial arts truly astonish me; would you join me in conquering the world?”
Noah was unexpectedly caught off guard by the fact that he was included in this.
“Um, I don’t have any ill feelings towards you, but I’ve already fought for half my life to save a world. If given the chance, I still want to live for myself.”
“Oh? Saving the world, huh? Then your name must be sung by the people, right?”
Seeing that Iskandar (Rider) seemed eager to continue the conversation, Noah couldn’t help but glance at Gilgamesh.
Do we really have to keep talking?
No more fighting?
But Gilgamesh merely shot him a cold glance before looking away, raising his head high.
If it weren’t for him silently wiping the dust and blood from his face, this pose of Gilgamesh would still be quite handsome.
However, his high-erected ears still revealed the movements of this King of Heroes.
Of course, Gilgamesh wanted to unleash his full power and eliminate this Servant who made him lose face, but alas, Emiya Kiritsugu had already messaged him to stay calm.
“What?! Kiritsugu! You are truly audacious! How dare you act so disrespectfully!”
“I don’t want to interfere with your actions, but who told you to bring Ilyasviel over? That Servant clearly has a Noble Phantasm yet to be used; your fierce battle will have a shockwave effect on Ilyasviel!”
Even in his originally cold voice, a hint of a father’s resentment crept in.
“…”
Even Gilgamesh couldn’t find words to retort against Emiya Kiritsugu’s accusations.
However, a surge of anger still welled up within him.
This Kiritsugu is utterly boring; Gilgamesh has decided to find some fun for himself!
“My name is Noah Feir, hailing from a world completely different from this one. Aside from saving the world, there’s not much to talk about. I’m here in the Holy Grail War just to enjoy a different kind of battle.”
Aside from Artoria, both Iskandar (Rider) and Gilgamesh became intrigued by Noah’s mention of another world.
One wishes to conquer this world and then continue the war in another.
The other is purely curious.
After all, for the omniscient and omnipotent Heroic Spirit, perhaps only another unknown world could capture their attention.
However, it was naturally impossible for Gilgamesh to actively ask Noah.
So he quietly cast a sidelong glance at Iskandar (Rider)…
“Is that so? In that case, this king will not force you.”
Seeing that Iskandar (Rider) did not continue to press, more darkness appeared on Gilgamesh’s already shadowy face.
He couldn’t care less about what would happen next and directly left the seaside park with Ilyasviel.
“Hey! Those drawn in by the battle between Saber and Berserker shouldn’t just be me and Archer, right?! If you’re just hiding away, then you will surely face the humiliation of Iskandar (Rider)!!”
Hearing Iskandar (Rider)’s loud roar, Waver, who noticed Sola-Ui’s scrutinizing gaze not far away, was already sweating profusely.
Ken, Kenneth Teacher, must be nearby, right?
Why isn’t he speaking up?
From a high vantage point, Kenneth looked at the figure holding a gun not far away and wondered why they hadn’t left yet.
“Master, should we make a move? I am confident I can take down that Berserker and Saber’s Master.”
After a long while, the figure holding the gun finally received a message from Tohsaka Tokiomi.
“Let’s retreat for now; that golden Servant is far too dangerous. We must counter it with that silver Servant. Moreover, if we eliminate those 2 Servants now, we will undoubtedly become everyone’s target, which is quite risky.”
“…Understood.”
The crimson eyes swept over Kenneth’s location, and the figure holding the gun silently transformed into spirit light, disappearing from the spot.
