"That would be great..."
Iskandar nodded and smiled with relief.
"Hey, Lemonhead... No, it should be Lord El-Melloi..."
Finally, he looked at Kenneth again, who was standing beside him with an indifferent expression but without saying a word, and lowered his head to him for the first time, making a plea from the bottom of his heart.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you again?"
Kenneth's expression became a little strange when he heard Iskandar use a respectful title instead of Lemonhead for the first time.
"I'll leave my little Master in your care from now on. No matter what the outcome, I want you to protect him for me. Please."
"Hmph, do you need me to tell you? Even though Waver Velvet is an absolute mediocrity, he's still my student and a member of the El-Melloi classroom. As long as I'm here, I won't let him get hurt! This is my duty as a monarch and teacher!"
"Stop wasting time, you annoying red-haired gorilla. Go do something while you're still alive."
Kenneth snorted coldly, then looked at Iskandar who was gradually disappearing. He was still bickering with him before he died.
"...Is that so? That's great."
After hearing Kenneth's answer, Iskandar finally put aside all his worries.
"Then let's go together! The God Wheel!!"
Shaking away unnecessary thoughts, the King of Conquerors gripped the reins tightly and began his final gallop. With a mighty roar, he charged towards the formidable enemy waiting in the distance.
"Do you want to come along?"
Gilgamesh stared coldly at Finn who was standing in front of him and questioned.
"No, I won't, because this is the battle for the King of Conquerors."
Seeing that the farewell was over, Finn put away his spear, then jumped back to Kenneth's side, leaving the final stage to the two kings, Iskandar and Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh snorted coldly when he saw what Finn had done.
"Miscellaneous cultivator, I am not so ignorant of romance. However..."
He looked at Iskandar, who was charging towards him at the wheel of the Divine Power, and sneered, "Looking at your current miserable state, are you still worthy of my serious attack? Even if I do nothing, you will surely die..."
"Hahahahahahahahaha, yeah, it looks like I've reached the end, but..."
"Until the moment of true death, I will not stop! So take it, Hero King!!"
Roaring and charging, King Iskandar launched a final charge with his still-movable body and his only remaining Noble Phantasm.
"madness."
Seeing this, Gilgamesh frowned.
However, despite saying so, in order to give Iskandar the final respect, he still opened his treasure house and used the treasure he was most proud of.
Countless golden rays began to dance wildly beside Gilgamesh, and the Heavenly Chain reappeared beside him, then shot out towards Iskandar.
One hundred meters.
The golden sky lock locked the divine bull with divine blood, stopped the wheels of divine power, and forced Iskandar to get off the vehicle and continue the charge using his own legs.
Seventy meters.
"--kill!!"
Iskandar roared again, and his body disappeared even faster because of his reckless behavior at this moment.
Thirty meters.
"I'm counting on you, dear friend, to help us escort this king, Enkidu!"
A golden light flashed by, and several swift golden snakes pierced Iskandar's chest and legs at an unpredictable speed in just a moment, fixing his body in place so that he could no longer move.
At this moment, the outcome is completely decided.
"puff!!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, which accidentally sprayed on the approaching body of Gilgamesh. However, the proud king did not show any dissatisfaction on his face this time. When he looked at Iskandar, there was only respect and admiration on his face.
"Now, are you satisfied, King of Conquerors?"
Gilgamesh spoke quietly.
"what……"
Iskandar's eyes were already a little blurry, but at the last moment, he smiled. "It's really a wonderful expedition. It makes my heart surge with excitement..."
"Hmph, what an interesting fellow! It's a rare occasion for this king to have such a good time."
"You're not bad."
He pierced Iskandar's chest with the Sword of Separation, practicing for the King of Conquerors himself. Then his body began to transform into spirit particles and gradually dissipated. The Divine Wheel behind him, which was bound by the Chains of Heaven, also gradually collapsed at this moment.
Even as he lay dying, he still laughed loudly as he bid farewell to everyone present. He turned around and said to Weber and Kenneth:
"After the battle, do not look for Saber and the military advisor. Leave this city."
It was the last effort he could make, and it also left his subjects with the last chance to survive.
After saying this, Iskandar's body gradually transformed into a golden spirit particle and dissipated in front of the three people. It was obvious that his spirit core had been shattered by the Sword of Separation, and there was no possibility of him being saved.
Finally, he slowly closed his eyes.
"The sound of the sea at the end seems to be echoing in my ears..."
"What keeps echoing in my heart is the sound of the waves of the sea at the end of the world..."
Chapter 80 Missiles are coming~
The gusts of wind and sand subsided quietly as a king closed his eyes.
The surging waves finally turned into a faint sigh.
Night fell again.
The golden king watched the departure of a true king, and then put the sword of creation in his hand back into the treasury. Only the golden chain beside him was trembling slightly, as if to comfort the mood of his best friend.
"Hmph, Enkidu, I don't feel sorry for a thief who snooped on treasures. I just feel a little sad..."
Glancing at the golden chain swaying slightly beside him, Gilgamesh snorted coldly, but this time there was a different emotion in his tone than before.
"No, it's nothing. It's more like he just woke up from a dream."
Then, the Ancient King walked with steady steps towards the thin young magician named Waver Velvet, who was once Iskandar's master.
Kenneth wanted to pull Weber away from here quickly, but Weber did not move at this moment. He just stared at the Hero King who was walking towards him with a firm expression. Kenneth was so angry that he couldn't help but want to curse.
Doesn't this bastard understand the current situation? Is he planning to play a fight to the death here?
This stubbornness was exactly the same as when he openly challenged others to publish a suicidal paper in his own class.
The situation of Rider, Berserker, and Lancer three against one was now in such a mess. The opponent's strength was beyond doubt. In the face of absolute strength, there was no need for them to continue fighting. The original plan could be completely torn apart at this moment.
Although it was unfair to Finn, the only solution Kenneth could think of at this moment was to use the Command Spell to strengthen and force Finn to hold Gilgamesh. Then he immediately took Waver out to find a vehicle and leave the place quickly. On the way, he quickly called Rowe and told him to get back as soon as possible. Forget about the Holy Grail War, just run away quickly, saving your life is the most important thing.
Give it to the King of Heroes if he wants it. This guy is invincible.
In this regard, Kenneth did not hide his thoughts and told Finn his thoughts when Gilgamesh killed Iskandar with his own hands, and also said that he would do so today whether he agreed or not.
After hearing these words, Finn was a little surprised, but what surprised him was not that Kenneth wanted to sacrifice him and run away, but that Kenneth was willing to tell him such words clearly instead of suddenly sacrificing himself without knowing the reason. This frankness surprised him.
As for the so-called sacrifice...
Finn actually doesn't care about such trivial matters.
If he lost, he lost. He was not that obsessed with the Holy Grail. There was nothing to regret even if he couldn't get it. He had just been fulfilling his duties as always.
What he values more than the Holy Grail is his lord, his Master, Kayneth El-Melloi.
If the monarch's mission is to lead his subjects and servants to sing the praises of dreams, bring happiness to the people and prosperity to the country, then he exists for the sake of beauty.
Then the knight's mission is to protect that beauty and die on the battlefield.
So Finn did not have any resentment towards Kenneth's choice, but felt very happy instead.
During his lifetime, he violated the knight's oath due to narrow-mindedness and hatred, and did things that made him regret for the rest of his life. In the end, he died indirectly because of this choice.
So, have I done my best to have a clear conscience this time?
Be loyal to your monarch and fight side by side with the warriors...
No, it seems that I still haven’t done my best.
After all, at the last moment, I abandoned my companions...
Really, even if you have extraordinary wisdom, you can't do everything perfectly.
However, at this last moment.
He still has to stand up and implement his own spirit and morality.
"Are you going to stop me, Lancer?"
Finn twirled his spear and stood in front of Weber and Kenneth, blocking Gilgamesh's advance alone and preparing to fight him with all his strength.
However, Gilgamesh had no intention of going to war with him at the moment, at least not yet. Compared to killing Lancer, he cared more about Waver Velvet, the King of Conquerors' last subject, who was still staring at him and refusing to give in.
"Back off, Lancer. You were able to detect my Noble Phantasm in advance and react correctly. I admit that you are a good hero and worthy of my death."
"But, it's not the right time yet. I have more important things to do right now."
Looking at Finn who was standing in front of him, Gilgamesh did not show any intention to kill him, but passed by him sideways.
This made Finn a little puzzled for a moment. Looking back, he saw Weber, who was unwilling to move even when called by his monarch. He seemed to understand what Gilgamesh was thinking at the moment.
Then he temporarily retracted his spear and stood beside Kenneth again, also looking forward to the next result.
Soon, Gilgamesh came in front of Waver.
A sharp battle axe fell out from his treasure house, and the Sky Chain beside him also blocked Kenneth's steps when he wanted to rush up to fight Gilgamesh. However, because of Finn's protection, the Sky Chain did not hurt him. Then the golden axe blade pointed directly at Weber's throat. Gilgamesh looked at the ordinary young man in front of him with an expressionless face.
"...Boy, you are the Master of the King of Conquerors, right?"
The Golden King is by no means a compassionate and benevolent man. On the contrary, tyranny has been the main theme of the Hero King throughout his life. He has respect for the King of Conquerors because of his strong willpower and heart.
Being a king means being arrogant and arbitrary, and there are very few indecisive people.
"No! I am a subject of that king!"
Waver's voice was trembling, and his legs were shaking. This was obvious, of course, and Gilgamesh could not hide it. But what amused him even more was another thing.
Although his body and tone betrayed his inner feelings, Weber's eyes did not dodge at all at this moment. Even when he looked into his own scarlet eyes full of coldness, even though his heart was filled with fear, the young man was still staring at him without a single step back. Even though he felt that he only needed to scare him a little and the boy would collapse to the ground, that unyielding gaze was still staring at his eyes stubbornly.
Interesting, really interesting...
Even in his own time, there were not many ministers who dared to stare into his eyes like he did and not retreat.
In Gilgamesh's eyes, Waver's soul was both weak and powerful, strong and cowardly. Even though it was not as good as the soul that the boy himself had never had, it was a very interesting thing, an extremely rare treasure, which made him feel interesting.
"Then I will ask you once more... O minister of the King of Conquerors, do you wish to avenge your king?"
The battle axe in Gilgamesh's hand slowly approached, and the sharp axe blade had already cut through the skin of Weber's neck, faintly showing a few bright red bloodstains. As long as he exerted a little more force, this slender neck would be cut off. His undisguised murderous intent immediately made everyone present feel it.
But...even so, those determined eyes did not move at all.
Did I misjudge it?
interesting……
"Lancer! Go save him!"
Kenneth on the side was also frightened by this scene. He hurriedly grabbed Finn's arm and gave him orders, but Finn remained unmoved at this moment. It was not until he was about to use the Command Spell to force the order that Finn slowly spoke.
"Master, don't worry. I'm watching him. He'll be fine. Besides, the Hero King has no real killing intentions."
"No... killing intent?"
Finn's words made Kenneth look slightly stunned.
It was seen that, facing Gilgamesh's questioning, or even intimidation, Weber did not retreat at all, and his eyes did not change at all, with only determination reflected in his pupils.
