Chapter 240 Fu Le's Invitation (Published first, revised later)

"Caster, even you came out?"

Upon seeing Fu Le and Medea, the people around immediately made their judgment.

After all, Fu Le and Medea's robes were far too clear.

Good evening, everyone!

Fu Le greeted the Servants present with a smile.

"I never expected to see so many heroes tonight."

"The Knight King of Great Britain".

Fu Le pointed at Artoria and chuckled softly.

Then he pointed his finger at Dirumdo, who was standing to the side.

"The chief warrior of the Irish Fiona Knights."

When Fu Le revealed Artoria and Diarmuid's true identities, the people present did not actually react much.

After all, Artoria and Diarmuid had already discovered each other's identities during the previous battle.

But Fu Le's words were not yet finished.

After pointing at Artoria and Diarmuid, Fu Le's fingers continued to twirl.

Then Fule pointed to Iskandar and Gilgamesh.

"The conqueror who established the Alexander Empire."

"And Gilgamesh, the hero-king of Uruk."

"Everyone here is a very famous person!"

Fu Le's words directly revealed the identities of the four people present, but in reality, the identities of three of them had already been exposed beforehand.

The connection between Artoria and Diarmuid was discovered by themselves.

Iskandar revealed his identity as soon as he appeared.

Therefore, among the four people present, only Gilgamesh's identity was concealed beforehand.

Now, his identity has been directly revealed by Fu Le.

"But this one, do you have some skill or treasure that allows you to conceal your identity? How come we can't see through you?"

Finally, Fu Le sighed at Lancelot.

These few words had already achieved Fu Le's goal.

To expose Gilgamesh's true identity.

In this Holy Grail War, the Hero King Gilgamesh is undoubtedly the strongest.

Defeating him won't be an easy task.

Therefore, Fu Le plans to gather more power, and it would be great if he could defeat Gilgamesh first.

Therefore, Fule needs to first establish Gilgamesh.

This should also make the other Servants and Masters present fully wary of Gilgamesh.

In this way, Fu Le can effectively form alliances and counter-alliances.

They can also use alliances and counter-alliances as a pretext to do other things.

In order to convince everyone present of Fu Le's words, Fu Le deliberately did not reveal Lancelot's identity.

After all, Lancelot possesses the Noble Phantasm 'Glory Not for Oneself', which allows him to conceal his identity.

This treasure was originally used to hide one's base stats.

Masters have the ability to see the basic abilities of the other Servant.

Therefore, the moment Lancelot appeared, the Masters present realized that they could not discern Lancelot's basic abilities.

Therefore, it is logical to deduce that Lancelot has the ability to conceal his abilities.

Fu Le couldn't recall Lancelot's abilities. This suggests that Fu Le knew their true names because of Caster's skills or Noble Phantasm.

This would greatly convince those present that he was right.

"Hero King Gilgamesh!"

Upon hearing Archer's real name, everyone present couldn't help but look at Gilgamesh.

After all, this name is also a very famous one in mythology.

Two-thirds are gods, and one-third are humans.

The oldest king, etc.

"I see. Legend has it that Gilgamesh collected all the world's treasures in his own treasury. So, is it because this legend has been elevated that you can produce so many treasures?"

Iskandar suddenly realized.

In addition to the weapons they already possess, Servants' Noble Phantasms are also...

There are also treasures derived from legends and other historical events.

Just like Iskandar's Noble Phantasm 'King's Army', which is derived from his legendary deeds.

"That's right!"

Faced with this situation, Gilgamesh immediately admitted his identity.

Given Gilgamesh's personality, he would never have bothered to hide his true identity.

After all, he was a king, not a thief hiding his true identity.

Iskandar, for example, openly and honestly revealed his identity to the public.

Artoria and Diarmuid were also unhappy about not being able to reveal their identities before the battle.

But Gilgamesh's Master, Tokiomi Tohsaka, must have instructed him not to reveal his identity.

Therefore, Gilgamesh has always avoided talking about his identity.

However, if someone directly identifies him, he will not pretend that he is not himself.

His pride and self-respect wouldn't allow him to do that.

"hateful!"

At the Tohsaka residence, Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned as soon as he heard Fu Le call out Gilgamesh's identity.

His features were squeezed together so tightly that his usual elegant demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

Let's put aside the fact that Gilgamesh's identity was revealed.

The problem is that Fu Le has already called out the real names of the four people, but he already knows the real names of the other three.

So isn't this just calling Gilgamesh by his real name?

What do you mean?
It's aimed at myself!
At this point, even if he forcibly summoned Gilgamesh back, it would be useless.

Because that would only make others think he was trying to hide something.

But if Gilgamesh is not called back, his admission of guilt will only make the situation more unfavorable for him.

Just as Tokiomi Tohsaka was thinking this, Gilgamesh had already responded.

The elegant Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't help but clench his fist.

At the dock, after Gilgamesh revealed his true name, everyone present subtly became wary of him.

After all, he was a real person from mythology.

A renowned demigod hero.

Gilgamesh, however, was completely unconcerned about this.

But Fu Le's words just now dampened his enthusiasm.

He stared at Fu Le for a long time before turning around and disappearing from everyone's sight.

Clearly, Gilgamesh could sense that Fu Le was targeting him, since three out of the four names he mentioned were already publicly known.

The implication is all too obvious.

But despite his arrogance, Gilgamesh was not stupid at all, and he did not choose to attack Fule at this time.

After all, he had just fought with Lancelot, and the two were already on edge.

Moreover, Lancelot came specifically to target him.

If he were to attack Fu Le at this moment, Lancelot would certainly not choose to stand there and remain still.

The other party will definitely come looking for him again.

After that, he will inevitably be attacked from both sides.

Now that everyone present knew his name, they were all wary of him.

Who knows, someone might secretly attack him while they're fighting. That's why Gilgamesh can't make a move in this situation.

He had no choice but to leave.

But he had already memorized Fu Le's name.

Once the time is right, he will definitely eliminate the Caster group first.

"As expected of the King of Heroes, he has great courage!"

"I thought he was going to attack me, so I was already prepared to run away."

Fu Le said with a smile.

"Haha, that's what they mean by not judging a book by its cover!"

Iskandar continued.

He didn't think Gilgamesh would make a move.

After all, that's not a wise choice.

Regardless, Iskandar has now become interested in Fule.

Just as he was about to have a chat with Fu Le, a roar filled with rage suddenly rang out.

His voice was muffled, but the crowd could still vaguely make out the word 'Arthur'.

"It seems this is an acquaintance of yours, King Arthur?"

Fu Le joked with Artoria.

But Artoria had no interest in responding to Fu Le.

Because Lancelot had already charged towards her, his charging stance left Artoria no time for wild thoughts.

"clang!"

The first clash of their swords echoed throughout the entire dock.

Artoria's figure kept retreating.

Unlike Diarmuid, who is more skill-oriented, Lancelot's offense is more powerful and more unmatched.

This was originally the type of opponent that Artoria was good at dealing with, but in her previous battle with Diarmuid, one of her arms was crippled and she could not exert any force.

This resulted in her having the power but being unable to use it.

As a result, they retreated repeatedly in the face of Lancelot's wide-open attacks.

The Lancelot of today is far, far stronger than the Lancelot in the original story.

First of all, Lancelot is wielding his Noble Phantasm at this moment, instead of launching an attack by grabbing a telephone pole as in the original story.

It's important to know that Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, Undying Lake Light, is also a holy sword.

While this holy sword cannot unleash a beam attack during Lancelot's current class, it can increase all of the wielder's attributes by one level.

In his berserk state, Lancelot's attributes, except for Luck and Magic, all increased by one level.

It should be noted that Lancelot was originally a top-tier knight.

His combat prowess is in no way inferior to Artoria's.

At this moment, all of his combat attributes have increased by two levels, which brings him an unimaginable boost.

At the same time, the berserk state had almost no side effects on Lancelot.

It is generally very difficult for Berserkers to win the Holy Grail War.

Because they usually lose their rationality due to berserk behavior, the lack of rationality in the battle of a strong person is a great weakness.

This means he has the strength but can't use it.

Hercules, who appeared in the Fifth Holy Grail War, is a top-tier demigod hero and a renowned figure.

His combat abilities are terrifyingly strong.

However, as a Berserker, he was unable to unleash his full potential.

For example, he cannot use his strongest martial art, "Shooting a Hundred Heads," so he relies on brute force in battle.

As a result, his powerful stats and Noble Phantasm could not reach their full potential.

This is the extremely terrible side effect of berserk mode.

But Lancelot was different.

He possesses a skill called 'Infinite Martial Arts'.

That was a martial art that was considered unparalleled in a certain era, allowing one to achieve complete unity of mind, skill, and body, and unleash powerful combat abilities without being affected by any mental influence.

With this skill, he can still perform at his original level even in a berserk state.

This means that Lancelot's berserk state has almost no negative effects other than rendering him unable to speak.

In this state, he was even much stronger than Artoria.

Even more outrageous is that his Noble Phantasm 'Indestructible Lake Light' has a special attack effect against dragons because of the legend of slaying dragons.

Artoria, on the other hand, possesses the bloodline of a red dragon.

It's no wonder he's the man in historical legend who destroyed King Arthur's kingdom; his targeting was spot on.

Faced with Lancelot's power, Artoria, whose hand had been crippled by Diarmuid, was completely unable to defend herself.

She could only retreat, retreat, and retreat again in response to Lancelot's attacks.

Upon seeing this, Kenneth immediately ordered Diarmuid to press his advantage and kill Artoria.

If Kenneth could eliminate Artoria, who is Saber, here, it would be the best possible outcome.

This was exactly what Gilgamesh feared most.

After he left, this happened to Artoria.

But Diarmuid was unwilling to do so.

To launch a sneak attack while others are fighting is against the code of chivalry.

Kenneth completely ignored Diarmuid's pleas and promises that he would take Artoria's life.

He immediately activated the Command Spell.

He forcibly ordered Diarmuid to take Artoria's life.

Just then, Iskandar, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, made his move. He urged the divine bull beneath him to unleash lightning that raged across the battlefield where Artoria and the others were.

He then stated that if Kenneth continued to let Diarmuid take the field, he would take Diarmuid as his opponent and eliminate him first.

Seeing this, Fu Le smiled and said, "That's what we mean too, but my reasons are different from those of the Conqueror King. I just don't want to see Saber eliminated."

"That kind of scene is too boring."

Artoria is Fu Le's main focus.

After all, she was one of the sides that Fu Le could win over in this Holy Grail War.

Moreover, she has great potential.

If she can get her sword sheath back, then her strength will no longer be inferior to Gilgamesh's.

She was Fu Le's trump card in defeating Gilgamesh.

"Tsk!"

Faced with the statements from Fule and Iskandar, Kenneth had no choice but to retract his order.

After all, if he continues down this path, he will only put himself in opposition to others and put himself in danger.

Like Gilgamesh, Kenneth was arrogant, but not stupid.

He would never do something that would only bring him trouble.

"Thank you both."

Diarmuid, freed from the Command Spell, expressed his gratitude to Fulak and Iskandar.

He then turned and left, disappearing into the docks with his master.

Prior to this, when Iskandar unleashed his devastating lightning, Lancelot was also attacked.

It was around that time that Matou Kariya called Lancelot away.

Thus, only Fule, Iskandar, and Artoria remained on the battlefield.

They are also the only group where both Master and Servant are present.

Seeing this, Fu Le suddenly said to Artoria and Iskandar, "Although we should be enemies in the Holy Grail War, I wonder if you two would do me the honor of having a drink with me?"

Fu Le extended an invitation to Artoria and Iskandar.
