Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Seeing the shattered future that Xia Yuan had projected in his mind using illusion, and his wife who was suffering in front of him, he began to feel confused, not knowing what the right thing to do was.

In the silent atmosphere, Alice spoke first.

“Kiritsugu… It doesn’t matter. I was born for this.”

"Besides, I'm so lucky to have met you and Illya."

Irisviel smiled and said her final farewell to her lover.

She knew that she would soon leave this world because her five senses and memories had begun to fade away.

Maybe I will soon forget about Kiritsugu and Illya...

"…I'm sorry, Ellie."

Emiya Kiritsugu's voice trembled a little. He knew that he had finally reached the most desperate and painful moment of this Holy Grail War, and it was also the point where he was most helpless.

"Please take good care of Illya, Kiritsugu. I am really happy to have met you..."

……

……

Burning church.

Destroyed forest.

An hour ago.

Kenneth and Waver, the master and apprentice, carefully explored the entire church under the protection of Lancer and Rider.

After all, they were at someone else's home ground, so no matter how confident Kenneth was, he would not do anything stupid. Besides, he didn't want to die here. Thinking of the prophecy of Bao Shi Weng that made his hair stand on end, he became even more alert.

However, no matter how hard they searched, even if they turned the entire church upside down, they could not find any trace of Amakusa Shiro, nor any trace of A. Venger who betrayed them. The entire church was already deserted.

This gave Kenneth a very frustrated feeling, as if his powerful punch had hit cotton and caused no damage at all.

In comparison, Iskandar saw much more clearly, rubbing his chin and carefully analyzing their next move.

"It's a wise decision to temporarily avoid the attack, but how are they going to deal with it next? If we eliminate all their strongholds, it will be difficult for them to fight back."

"The remaining ones are Saber, Ruler, A. Venger, Lancer and I. Under this situation, do they want to unite their forces and fight us? If so, I am looking forward to it."

"A decisive battle? Even though it's two against three, we are obviously the upper hand in terms of combat power. If a fight really breaks out, we don't need to be afraid of the combat power." Kenneth rarely agreed with Iskandar's words.

"But... is it really like this?"

"Hmm? Mr. Weber, do you have any new ideas?" Kenneth looked at him.

"No,... No, I just feel it's a little strange..." Weber shrank back, looking left and right, feeling a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, little Master. If you have any ideas, just let me know."

Finn remained silent, just sucking his fingers gently, letting his thoughts wander for a moment, and soon he found the loophole.

"No, my lord, something is not right."

"what happened?"

"Lancer, did you find anything?"

Finn nodded, “Yes, although I can’t be sure, there are indeed anomalies.

"Didn't you notice? The magical energy in the air in this room is so dense, it's like being in the center of a ley line."

"But the center of Fuyuki City's earth veins is clearly not here, so what's the reason for this abnormal concentration of magic power? If it's because Ruler built a magic formation here, it can be explained, but just now there was no trace of a formation in the entire church..."

"You mean?"

Listening to Finn's analysis, Kenneth seemed to have thought of something.

"Yes, although it is hard to believe, I am afraid that a Servant disappeared here not long before we arrived? The spirit particles have not yet dispersed."

"You mean Ruler or A.venger might..." Kenneth asked, but someone interrupted them.

shhh-

Several sharp and rapid sounds of breaking through the air.

"Be careful!" Iskandar reacted immediately, drew the sword from his waist, and slammed down the incoming spear.

"Chong-"

Seeing the two spears being thrust in front of them, Kenneth and Weber were immediately frightened and broke out in cold sweats. The shock on their faces could not be concealed. This feeling of being on the verge of life and death still made them feel scared.

"You have a quick reaction, King of Conquerors, but that is as it should be. If you cannot even block this kind of attack, you are not worthy of competing with me."

The golden figure, the figure of Gilgamesh, had landed on the street lamp in front, looking down at them from above.

"It's Archer!" Weber exclaimed when he saw Gilgamesh.

"But didn't Xia Yuan say that his contract with Tōsaka Tokiomi has been terminated? Why hasn't he left yet?!"

"Humph, boy, do you think that a mere Command Spell like that can restrain me? Who do you think I am? As long as I don't want to leave, I can certainly stay."

Gilgamesh glared at him, then his gaze returned to Iskandar and Finn. After all, small characters like Weber and Kenneth were not worthy of his attention.

"Oh, long time no see, Archer."

Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh in front of him with a smile and began to greet him.

“I told you, a king like you won’t retire so easily.

If the situation does not allow it, I will definitely hold a banquet and invite you, the Knight King, and Lancer to gather together and discuss the way of the king. "

"Talk about the kingly way? You said you wanted to discuss the kingly way with me?"

"Puchi... Huhahahahaha!" Gilgamesh let out a long laugh, laughing so hard that his stomach hurt. He held his stomach and his body twitched.

"Is there anything strange about this?"

“…Hahahaha, I’m almost dying of laughter. You bunch of fake kings actually want to discuss the way of kingship with me? This really is the funniest joke.”

"Hahaha, although you said so, but, since there has been no comparison, who can judge which kingly way is better?" Iskandar responded to him with the same laugh.

"Humph, it seems that you are very confident in your own kingly way, but who do you think I am?"

"I am the most ancient hero king, the King of Uruk, Gilgamesh!"

Gilgamesh slowly opened his arms, and countless golden ripples spread out from the void behind him.

"Rider!!!" Seeing the sky full of treasures emerging from countless golden light gates, Weber immediately hid behind Iskandar.

Kenneth also looked fearful and took a few steps back to give his seat to Lancer. After all, he had no confidence in Gilgamesh, who was an exception.

"If there is enough time, I wouldn't mind playing with you guys, but now, you better leave! I don't have the patience to play with you guys anymore!!"

"Ah~ So you mean we have to use force to decide the way of kingship?"

Iskandar scratched his head and responded with the same gesture.

"But I accept it. Come on! Hero King, let's compete and see whose kingly way is the strongest!"

"Master, use the Command Spell. I have consumed a lot of my magic power before, and now I must fight with all my strength! And Lancer, please do not interfere in this battle. This is a contest between the King of Conquerors and the King of Heroes."

"King of Conquerors, are you sure?" Finn was stunned for a moment, then confirmed.

"Idiot! What are you thinking? Hurry up and team up with Lancer to eliminate Archer while he has no more magic power!"

Kenneth shouted anxiously. He really couldn't understand Iskandar's amazing train of thought.

The opponent is the most ancient hero king Gilgamesh. Facing such a powerful enemy, instead of killing him while he is weak and joining hands with Lancer to defeat him, you still want to fight him alone? What kind of stupid operation is this?

But before he could say anything else, Iskandar raised his big hand, signaling him to shut up.

"This is a contest between kings. No one else needs to interfere! Lemonhead, if you are unwilling to accept it, then you will now become my enemy!"

"you!!"

Finn stopped him. He nodded to Iskandar and said, "Is this your choice, King of Conqueror? Then I understand. I promise on the honor of the Knights of Fianna that I will only protect my lord in this battle and will never interfere with your fight."

"Thank you, Lancer. If I have the chance, I would also like to compete with a hero like you."

"Of course, it's a great honor."

"Are you ready, my little Master? I said before that I would show you the true way of conquest. Are you willing to go with me?"

"Rider..."

“I understand!” Waver nodded solemnly, then raised his right hand and shouted, “I command you with the Three-Stroke Command Spell, Rider, to fight with all your strength!”

"good--!!"

Iskandar roared, expressing his overwhelming emotions before the battle, and suddenly raised the sword of Cyprus in his hand, causing a thunderous roar - [King's Army Ex: Aionion Hetairoi]

Yellow sand filled the sky, and sand and stones were flying everywhere.

Along with Iskandar's roar, the surrounding environment changed drastically, and all the figures present were brought into this ancient battlefield with flying yellow sand.

"Welcome to my world, Hero King! This will be the battlefield where you and I will compete for supremacy in the world!"

"Humph, I didn't expect you to refuse the help of the Lancer next to you. Should I say you are stupid, or admire your courage? You dare to face the king alone."

"Hahahaha, this is how a battle between kings should be fought. And look carefully, I am not alone, Hero King."

Iskandar picked up Waver beside him and drove the Wheel of Divine Power together, leading the countless king's troops behind them to the battlefield.

"My Master, my warriors are all here, under the banner of the King of Conquerors, they are with me, and we will fight together!!"

"The King of Conquerors!"

"The King of Conquerors!!!"

Every soldier and every voice behind him was shouting Iskandar's name, marching in neat steps to form his majestic military formation, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

"kill--!"

Then Iskandar swung his sword, cutting through the sky, and commanded the army to rush towards Gilgamesh.

"kill--!!!!"

"Hmph, a battlefield of yellow sand constructed with mental images? Not so boring after all. I have to say you are quite capable, King of Conquerors..."

Gazing at the terrifying army that was sweeping towards him in an orderly and majestic manner, Gilgamesh did not feel the slightest bit of emotion in his heart, but instead could not help but laugh.

"Gathering dreams and achieving hegemony, such a will deserves my praise."

Golden ripples appeared behind him, and two golden double-bladed swords appeared in his hands.

"But, warriors, do you understand? The so-called dream is destined to wake up."

The two swords joined together to form a golden longbow in his hands. A terrifying aura quickly spread around him, and Gilgamesh's figure floated in the air.

"Then come, and let me witness the end of this so-called dream. I will personally make you understand this truth."

[Enki: Ex]

"Such a terrifying magical aura, is that the Noble Phantasm that Archer is about to release?"

"Get ready, it's coming!"

Seeing the long bow in Gilgamesh's hand, Iskandar also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

The formation of the army around him began to change rapidly, and the legendary invincible Maginot Phalanx began to attack Gilgamesh from all directions.

The golden swords and iron horses, the fierceness that can swallow a thousand miles like a tiger, the terrifying momentum makes the heaven and earth tremble!

The formation suddenly changed...

Did he sense the danger?

But it's meaningless, everything is in vain under this blow!

“Hahaha, look up at the sky!”

The golden longbow was pulled open, golden rune ripples spread out in front, and a pair of golden wings spread out.

In the center of the golden wings, there were six spots of light flashing symmetrically, which were connected to each other to form a red single eye.

"It's time to put an end to this!"

The arrow condensed, and then the light spot and red dot on the bow and arrow disappeared instantly, and a corresponding pattern appeared in the sky.

"The fire of destruction is already full!"

The spots of light in the sky formed arrows and burst towards the yellow sand world below.

"The fire of catastrophe falls from the sky, and the raging waves of Nabisteen strike!"
