"If I challenge you, I will die."
This is as it should be. If Weber dares to attack, Gilgamesh will kill him without hesitation, and Weber will not have any chance of winning.
But what he wanted to know was what happened next.
"So... I can't do it. I'm a subject of that king, and I've been ordered to live in peace."
There is no cowardice, nor is there any shame in living a life of mediocrity.
Waver said this with dignity, gazing at Gilgamesh.
He did not beg for mercy, nor did he shout for protection from his teacher or Lancer, who was already ready to take action. This meant that the boy in front of him had already prepared himself to die.
That is to say...
“Huhahahahahahahahaha——!!”
Seeing this scene, Gilgamesh laughed loudly, and then the murderous intent on his face disappeared in an instant, and he directly retracted his weapon.
"Your name is Weber Velvet, right? Not bad, you're quite good..."
"I will frankly express my approval of the enlightenment you have gained from transcending life and death."
Gilgamesh was an outstanding warrior and the oldest king. He had seen gods, heroes, and countless miracles in his life. His ability to judge people was unquestionable.
Yet, even he saw that elusive sparkle in Waver...
And he has never been stingy with praise for this outstanding brilliance.
If Weber was one of his subjects, he would surely be happier at this moment.
Unfortunately, his subjects were neither the strategist Rowe who understood every hero, nor the loyal Weber in front of him. Instead, they were two guys with evil intentions.
That's not a minister, at best he's just a clown.
"Boy, I can tell you very clearly that you have no talent in the way of magic. Even if you spend your entire life, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything in the way of magic. Forget about surpassing Lemon Head over there. I'm afraid you're not even as good as Tōsaka Tokiomi."
After laughing, Gilgamesh commented expressionlessly, while Waver's expression remained unchanged.
He actually knew about this kind of thing a long time ago, but he just didn't want to admit it.
But after experiencing this Holy Grail War and growing up, he can now face this matter calmly.
"However, I do feel your loyalty and determination."
Gilgamesh commented.
He looked down at Weber in front of him, and a smile appeared involuntarily on the corner of his mouth.
In the eyes of the King of Heroes, although Waver did not have the talent of a magus, he was not a complete mediocrity.
If he is really a mediocre person, destined to live a mediocre life, chasing the footsteps of the King of Conquerors in vain, it would be better for me to give him a chance to die in glory, and his soul would be qualified to be collected in my treasure house.
However, it is a pity, but also fortunately, this kid is not a mediocre person.
His talents simply had not yet been realized, so Gilgamesh decided to let him go.
Then, the Hero King slowly turned his back and walked towards Finn, who had been waiting for a long time, and said slowly:
"Leave now, obey your king's last words, do not look back, and leave this city, otherwise you will not be able to complete the order given to you by your master."
"Remember, boy, loyalty is the greatest virtue. No matter when or where, never forget your choice."
"I...I understand. I will do that."
Waver was not a fool. He knew that Gilgamesh recognized him and decided to let him go.
He never had any reason to hate Gilgamesh in his heart.
It was they who initiated the crusade, and they were eliminated in an unfair battle of three against one. Although Iskandar died, the Hero King also respected him and recognized him.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Waver knew that he owed Gilgamesh a huge favor. It's just that the other party probably wouldn't care about the favor from a small magician like him.
And this should be the last time they meet.
Without hesitation, Weber stood up and turned around, brushing past Gilgamesh and running to Kenneth's side. He took his hand without hesitation and ran with him into the deeper night.
"..."
Finn, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but smile.
Whether it's my monarch or his students, they are all very good people...
Although he was unable to obtain the Holy Grail, he was really lucky this time as he was able to meet Kenneth, an excellent monarch.
Seeing Waver and Kenneth walking away, Gilgamesh did not stop them, because this was his reward for the brave.
"So, Lancer, what's next..."
Just as Gilgamesh was about to set his sights on Finn, the last of the enemies, and prepare to start the next battle.
In the next brief moment, his and Finn's expressions suddenly changed, and then they suddenly looked towards the sky above their heads. Something was approaching them rapidly.
Gilgamesh and Finn looked closely with their extraordinary eyesight and saw that more than a dozen missiles came from nowhere in the sky and were about to reach the area where they were.
In the dark night sky, the missile's tail flame is like a bright star, but more cruel and ruthless than the stars.
When Finn and Gilgamesh noticed this, more than a dozen long streaks of fire like meteors in the sky were already close at hand. With their extraordinary vision, they could see that above each streak of fire was the symbol of the slender intercontinental missile.
Although they didn't understand military affairs and didn't quite understand the significance of so many missiles, he could vaguely sense that the forest would be razed to the ground by so many missiles.
That is to say...
"monarch!!"
Finn shouted anxiously, then turned around without hesitation and rushed in the direction where Kenneth and Weber had just left.
"..."
Gilgamesh in front of him did not stop him. He looked at the dozen or so missiles coming from the sky with a cold face, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Obviously, without even thinking about it, Gilgamesh could guess that someone wanted to take advantage of the end of their battle to use missiles to destroy all the Masters present and eliminate all of them, the Setvants, in one go.
Although Gilgamesh didn't think much of this kind of cleverness in the Holy Grail War, he was extremely upset that it had been used against him.
Especially since he had just said he would grant Waver a chance to live as a favor, but in the blink of an eye, he was killed by a third party. What did this say about his dignity, the dignity of the King of Heroes?!
You damned cultivator, you piece of trash hiding in the corner, more obscene than a frog's piss, do you really think that I can't find you?
Gilgamesh looked in the direction where Waver had fled, raised his arm and was about to help intercept him, but when he saw a red-haired woman who seemed to be prepared in advance and immediately came to meet him, took him into the car, and then sped away, he silently put his hand down.
"The battle is over. Next... it's time to clean up the rats that ruined my fun..."
Then he stretched out his hand from the treasure house, took out a spear with a wooden handle, and then aimed it in a certain direction in the night sky and threw it out without hesitation -
"Go, Gungnir!!"
--call out!!
Only the piercing sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The next moment, the silver spear in his hand flew into the sky like a meteor, heading to an unknown destination.
……
……
At night, at the gymnasium in Fuyuki City.
Kiritsugu Emiya, who was hiding in the dark, had already arrived here with his wife in advance, ready to welcome the arrival of the Holy Grail.
After realizing that two more servants had already left the scene and that his contract with Saber had been severed, he looked at his assistant in front of him and the important influence he had conveyed through his familiar, feeling a little complicated.
In this battle, Rider and Berserker both withdrew. Saber also broke the contract not long ago and will soon be out of the game due to loss of magic power.
Now all we need to achieve our goal is to kill Lancer or Archer.
Although he knew that it was impossible to defeat the two riders head-on, he could tell from the feedback from his familiars that Kotomine Kirei and Kayneth were both in the area of the missile bombing.
So he asked his assistant to press the launch button directly, giving a big gift to these Masters who had fought all night.
As long as his missiles fall, he can say that he has wiped out all the opponents in one go tonight. This also means that all the sacrifices needed for the Holy Grail have been gathered in one go, and victory is at hand.
“…Great! We got it! We got it!”
Looking at the scene in which the intercontinental missile was about to fall into the deep forest, Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but feel excited.
The moment the missile landed in the target area, the outcome was already determined.
All living things would instantly perish under the missile's coverage. Even if the opponent was a prodigy in the world of magic, the renowned Lord El-Melloi, it would be sheer wishful thinking to use magic to block an ICBM attack without any prior preparation!
In today's declining world of mystery, magic will only become weaker and weaker until it disappears and becomes a historical legend. Only technology is the mainstream of today's history.
The reason he lost to Kenneth before was simply because the technology was not advanced enough and the weapon’s equivalent was not strong enough, but this time it was different.
While they couldn't produce the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction in human history, fuel-air bombs and intercontinental missiles couldn't be stopped by the human body alone. Trying to use magic to stop such a powerful bombardment in a panic was like trying to stop a flame with paper.
He could already foresee the deaths of Kenneth, Kotomine Kirei and others.
Boom——! !
Finally, the intercontinental missile finally fell and landed on the forest battlefield.
Accompanied by a loud thunder, the images sent back by the familiar were interrupted, and Kiritsugu Emiya realized that this was because his familiar had died in the bombing of the missile.
Seeing the screen in front of him turn black, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...
ended……
It's all over, no one will stop me anymore.
Now he just needs to wait quietly for the results and then realize his wish.
Seeing that everything was settled, a hint of joy appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's face.
“Thank you for your hard work, Maiya.”
He looked at his assistant who had just completed the task and returned to him, and expressed his sincere gratitude for her efforts.
Without Hisau Maiya's support and help, he would never have been able to get to where he is today, so he could only feel gratitude towards his assistant who was like a family member to him.
This was one of the few remaining people who was more important than his own life. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Kiritsugu Emiya was naturally filled with joy.
"It's okay, Kiritsugu, I..."
In response to Emiya Kiritsugu's gratitude and seeing him so happy, a smile appeared on Hisau Maiya's face. To her, Emiya Kiritsugu's smile and happiness were more important than anything in life.
However, just when she was about to say something, the next moment——
call out--! ! !
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking air falling from above her head, and then, a dazzling light as bright as a meteor went straight through layers of obstacles and finally pierced directly into her heart, making the smile on her face freeze at the last moment. She even lost her life without realizing it.
The speed was so fast that no one could react.
All that was left was a corpse still smiling, and Kungunir emitting silver light.
Chapter 81: Lancer Exits
In the forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
For the people of Fuyuki City, tonight is destined to be a restless night.
Because without anyone noticing, a magician killer sent people to sneak into a military base stationed in the Far East, and used magic to kidnap and hint at the high-level commander of the base, quietly controlling him.
Then, in a war based on concealment, where seven magicians fought each other for the Holy Grail, they used modern high-tech weapons that no one had imagined, and did things that were so daring that no one had dared to do, let alone think about, in any Holy Grail war so far.
In a battle of magic and magic, heroes and heroes, a magician actually violated the rules of mystery and concealment, and staged a shocking missile attack on the battlefield of Fuyuki City, directly covering the entire forest in the suburbs of Fuyuki City.
That night, the entire ground of Fuyuki City shook.
Accompanied by more than a dozen continuous thunderclaps, in the blink of an eye, the originally dense forest of Fuyuki City was razed to the ground in just one night.
The rising scarlet flames, along with the dazzling explosion light, swayed in the dark night, like sparks blooming in the darkness. Feeling the slight shaking on the ground, the young man who was standing not far from the explosion and watching the whole process frowned slightly.
"Emiya Kiritsugu, that mad guy really dared to do it..."
