On the bridge, Busefaras walked steadily to the bridgehead.
This was the fourth time they had met, and presumably the last. The original Hero King and the legendary Conqueror King were openly occupying the spacious four-lane road. To them, the only obstacle in front of them was each other. There was only one path on the bridge, and there was no way to avoid or retreat. In the process of competing for dominance, this was a battlefield of fate that one had to pass through.
Bussefaras stopped in his tracks. Rider gently stroked her mane, comforting her to understand the knight's thoughts and stop.
Kid, wait here for a while.
Eh?
Rider got off his horse and walked towards the enemy that was waiting for him. The two of them seemed to have made an agreement. Archer also walked over proudly.
They weren't just duelists competing in martial arts. Since both sides were fighting for supremacy, there were some rules that had to be followed before they fought.
Rider, where's your most prideful tank?
Archer asked in a rude tone.
Ah, a chariot? Yes, yes, although it made him angry, the tank had already been destroyed by Saber.
Rider shrugged his shoulders casually. Archer narrowed his blood-red eyes at him.
…Have you forgotten my decision? This King should have said before that he would defeat you in your best condition.
Hmm, from what you said, it seems that there is such a thing.
Rider wasn't afraid of Archer's pressure at all, and his lips curled up into a fierce sneer.
My equipment has indeed been damaged, but don't underestimate me, Hero King. Although Iskandar tonight was not perfect, it was more than perfect.
Even though Rider's words sounded ridiculous, Archer didn't treat it as a joke. His sharp eyes swept across Rider's body like a knife.
So that was the case. The king energy around him was indeed stronger than usual. Hmph, it seems that you have a chance of winning.
In fact, even though he had lost a relic, the amount of mana that Rider was emitting tonight was much greater than before. The three command incantations that Wilbur had planned to casually use had an unexpected effect.
When using a command spell to activate power, the more abstract the content, the lower the effect. In this aspect, Wilbur's orders were all lacking in specifics. In terms of the use of the command spell, it was basically a waste of time. However, on the other hand, if the Absolute Command of the Command Curse was not used to distort the will of the follower spirit, but was activated by mutual agreement, the Command Curse would not only have the ability to force, but it would also become an auxiliary method to strengthen the follower spirit's ability. In this case, just like how Saber, one of Cech's subordinates, had successfully completed the " space transfer ", sometimes the command spell could even overthrow the common sense of magic and complete the miracle equivalent to " magic ".
Although Wilbur's method of using it was not very effective, the content was in line with the spirit's original intention, and he used three spells in a row, so the command spell did work on Rider. As long as Rider acted for the sake of 'victory', he would receive more magic than the usual supply. If one had to describe it directly, Rider's current situation was simply " extremely good ", unprecedented.
Archer, speaking of the declaration, we should have an agreement during the last banquet.
Are you referring to the conclusion that we can only fight to the death?
Didn't we agree to finish the rest of the wine before that?
Rider urged the Hero King. The innocent smile on his face did not look like someone who was about to engage in a life-and-death battle.
At that time, although the banquet venue was smashed by some uncultured boors…there was still some wine left in that bottle. You can't hide it from my eyes.」
As expected of the King of Usurpation, he had a keen eye for other people's belongings.
Archer smiled bitterly and once again called for a whole set of wine vessels from the " Treasure House " in the alternate dimension. After pouring all the remaining divine wine into the two cups, the two kings were like boxers touching their gloves as they solemnly clinked their glasses.
The King of Babylon was the last question at the banquet.
Zhun, tell me.
Iskandarll raised his glass in his hand. Although his expression was serious, only his eyes still had the childishness of a naughty child.
"If I were to equip my 'Ionian Hetairoi' with the weapons of your 'King's Treasure,' I would definitely be able to form an invincible army. The so-called president of the western countries was probably nothing.」
Hmm, and then?
Do you want to become my ally? As long as the two of us join hands, we can definitely take over the other side of the sea of stars.
When the Hero King heard this, he laughed heartily as if he had heard a satisfying, sarcastic joke.
You're really an interesting fellow. The dream talk of someone who wasn't The Clown actually made This King laugh so happily. It's been a long time since this happened.
Although Archer was smiling, the cold ghostly aura he exuded didn't diminish at all. To this Gold King, killing intent was almost synonymous with pleasure.
"Unfortunately, This King doesn't need a second friend. From the past to the future, This King has only one friend-and there is no need for two kings in this world.」
Hearing this firm answer, the Conqueror King did not show a disappointed expression. He just nodded quietly.
[The king of solitude? Let me challenge your unwavering ideals with admiration.」
[Yes. Show yourself, Conquest King. You are a thief worthy of this king's personal punishment.」
The two kings drank the last of their wine, threw down their empty cups, and turned to leave. Neither side turned back and returned to the bridgehead where they were originally at.
Wilbur had a nervous expression as he watched the two kings drink together. He sighed and welcomed the return of the king.
[Are you two really that close?」
"It's alright. It's just that we're going to start killing each other later. He might be the last person I'll look at in my life, so of course I can't be too bad to him.」
[... Don't say such silly things.]
Iskandarll joked nonchalantly, while Wilbur refuted in a deep voice.
[How could you be killed? I will not allow this to happen. Have you forgotten my command spell?」
"That's true. Yes, of course, it's just as you said.」
Rider revealed a shrewd smile and once again mounted the back of Busefaras that he had left behind. He drew his sword from his waist.
"My compatriots, come over! Tonight, let us brand our heroic figures in the strongest legends!」
As if responding to the call of a king, the raging wind with hot sand blew away the fog of the river and rushed onto the bridge.
Now, the sword of Chupoutis was gathering and weaving the thoughts of the heroic spirits from the other side of time and space who had shared dreams with the king in the past.
Everyone was united as they looked at the horizon that was covered by the mirage. They wanted to see the other side of the boundless blue sky.
The warriors crossed time and space in pursuit of the battlefield and eroded reality, turning the uninhabited bridge into a vast plain ravaged by whirlwinds.
The heroic spirits rushed to the prepared stage one after another.
[Ahhh…]
To Wilbur, this was the second time he saw the magnificent army of the King's Army (Ionian Hetairoi). Although he was no longer surprised, he now knew the true meaning behind this ultimate relic that embodied the King of Iskandar. The awe in his heart was even stronger than the first time he saw it, and it deeply shook him.
The brilliant elite cavalry, the bond between them and the Conqueror King, even crossed the barrier between the present world and the Underworld.
These warriors who had been sublimated into eternity did not care where the battlefield was. As long as the Conqueror King revealed his tyranny again, the courtiers would immediately rush to the side of the monarch, no matter where they were.
This was the pride of being with a king.
This was the joy of fighting side by side with a king.
"The enemy is the invincible Hero King-the perfect opponent for us! Men! Show our dominance to the initial heroic spirits!」
Cuckoo-!!』
Rows of soldiers responded to Iskandar's roar and let out a deafening roar.
Archer faced the army alone, but he didn't look embarrassed. He was calm and composed, standing in front of the army. The golden glow of the statue made it look like a lofty mountain. Only the heroic spirit of a demigod had such a majestic and oppressive aura.
[Bring it on, Lord of the Tyrannical Army.] You will understand what it means to be a true king…"
The Hero King said coldly and arrogantly. Under the lead of the horse, Busepalas, the heroic spirit army finally began to charge at the Hero King in a wedge-shaped formation.
Rider, who was leading the charge, let out a long howl, and the cavalrymen responded with shouts. Amidst the sounds of charging that resounded through the sky, Wilbur also raised his voice and shouted as loudly as he could,"!』
The army of the King's Army (Ionian Hetairoi) raised the rolling yellow sand and shook the earth as they charged forward.
Even in the face of this soul-stirring scene, Hero King Kil 'gamesh remained unmoved.
Her bright red eyes were filled with blood-red joy as she watched the magnificent army. Only a king who had enjoyed all the pleasures in the world would know this unusual feeling.
In fact, Archer was very happy.
Although he had been summoned to the other side of time and space, he had been repeating the farce of war in the name of war. He had long been tired of this kind of life. Now, he finally found someone he could treat as an " enemy."
The challenge from Rider was worth fighting with all his might.
"Leading everyone's dreams and advancing towards the path of the Tyrant... This King applauds your ambition. But warriors, do you understand? The so-called dream would one day awaken and dissipate.」
Archer used the key sword in his hand to open the treasury. However, he didn't open the King's Treasure. He only took out a sword.
[It is precisely because of this that This King has appeared before you, Conquest King.]」
- -
This weapon looked very strange. It had a hilt and a sword edge, and its length was about the same as a long sword. However, the part that was equivalent to the " blade " was too different from the shape of the sword. It was a cylinder with three connected sections, and the tip of the sword was twisted into a spiral blunt blade. The three columns were like a mortar, rotating slowly in turn.
That's right, that weapon was no longer a " sword." This weapon, which existed before the concept of " sword " appeared, was naturally different from the existing sword. This was an item created by the gods before the appearance of humans. It specifically showed the divine workmanship of the gods during the creation of the world.
The three sections of the cylinder, shaped like a mortar, rotated with the same weight and energy as the movement of the celestial body. The huge amount of mana that surged out had long exceeded the scope of calculation.
" Come, I'll let you know how the never-ending dream ends. Let This King personally show you the truth…"
In Archer's raised hand, the Initial Sword slowly accelerated. One spin was faster than the last, and one circle was faster than the last…
Rider felt that the weapon was a huge threat, so he quickly sped up.
[It's coming!]
Archer had taken action first. It didn't matter. Even if he had the upper hand, he only had one chance. Before he could use the second move, the King's Military Force (IonHianetairoi) would step over the lonely golden figure.
The most important thing was how to block this move. Archer had used his powerful relic to look down on everyone. Presumably, that was the ultimate weapon that he thought was enough to win.
Was that an anti-army precious artifact?
Or a siege relic?
Or was he planning to use a single point attack on a human relic to kill Rider, who was leading the army…
The hurricane rumbled loudly, and a huge amount of mana shot out from Archer's sword hilt.
[Awaken, Ea.] The stage suitable for your performance is ready!」
Ea-In ancient mythology, the gods of earth and water were divided into "Heaven" and "Middle".
The 'Guaili Sword' known as Ea was the original sword that witnessed the creation of the world in the Mythological Era. The mission of the Initial Blade was to cut open the chaotic sky and earth, so that heaven and earth each had a definite form.
Now, the God's Sword had stirred up a violent storm that filled the sky. It was about to display another miracle of creation. The Hero King in golden armor declared loudly,"
"Look at it well-this is the star of creation (En?) maEli?）』!」
Instantly, the world shook.
A huge magic power was released, shaking the laws of the universe.
Archer's sword was not aimed at anyone.
There was no need to aim at anyone. The blade of the Guai Li Sword didn't just cut through the 'enemy's body.
The ground crumbled before Rider's galloping horse, and a bottomless hole appeared.
[Oh!?]
Rider realized that he was in danger, but even he could no longer stop Busefaras from running.
[Yi-]
Seeing that he was unable to avoid the fate of falling into the bottomless abyss, Wilbur desperately held back the wails in his mouth. However, even though life and death were right in front of him, the horses and knights carrying him would not retreat because of such a crisis.
[Drink!]
In response to Rider's reins, the horse kicked with its strong hind legs and flew high into the air.
This period of jumping and staying in the air was simply enough to freeze one's blood. After the seemingly endless moment for Wilbur ended, Bose Faras had once again stepped onto the ground on the other side of the fissure.
However, Wilbur had no time to rest. The subsequent horsemen's tragic situation made his expression change drastically.
The guards who were not as strong as Busepalas were unable to cross the crack in the ground and fell straight into the bottomless abyss like an avalanche. Although the cavalrymen at the rear managed to stop in time and avoid the fate of falling, this was only the beginning of the tragedy.
[Kid, hurry up and hold on tight!]
Rider shouted and grabbed Wilbur's mane tightly.
Just as the horse sensed the danger and ran back to safety, the crack continued to expand, swallowing the surrounding land and cavalry.
No-not just the earth. The cracks extended from the horizon to the empty sky, distorting space and sucking in a large amount of air. Everything in the surroundings was sucked into the void along with a whirlwind.
[This, this is…]
Even the valiant Conqueror's King was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The Hero King's Obedient Separation Sword not only split the earth in one strike, but its power also spread to the sky and even the world itself. This kind of attack was no longer concerned with whether it hit or not, the degree of power, and so on. Soldiers, horses, dust, and the sky-everything in the broken space was swallowed by the twisted void one by one, disappearing without a trace.
Just as Bucephalas was trying his best to stand firm and resist the vacuum pressure, the hot sand land transformed by the King's Army (Ionian Hetairoi) was also shattering, as if the sand of the sand bell was about to run out, falling into the empty abyss.
Before this sword was swung down, the three thousand worlds were just meaningless chaos.
After this sword was swung down, a brand new truth would split the sky, the earth, and the ocean.
The tremors released by the creation of the world had long surpassed the power of the siege relic. Not only tangible objects, but the super power that could destroy everything in the world. This was the true face of the " Realm Breaking Artifact " that made the Hero King an Extraordinary.
The sky collapsed and the earth shattered. In the darkness where everything gradually returned to nothingness, only Archer's Guai Li Sword shone brightly. The light was like the first star to illuminate a new world, drawing a shining end to the destruction.
Rider and Wilbur could not see everything. The intrinsic barrier they were in was originally maintained by the magic power of all summoned heroic spirits. Before the world completely disappeared, when they lost half of their army, the barrier had already broken, and the distorted laws of the universe returned to their original state.
The two of them landed on the Dongmu Bridge at night, as if they had just woken up from a dream.
The Golden Heroic Spirit stood proudly on the other side of the bridge with a beautiful smile. The positions of both sides did not change. This battle seemed to have brought time back to the beginning.
The only change that could be seen was the sound of the Guai Li Sword in Archer's hand.
There was also an invisible fatal change-Rider's ultimate relic,'Ionian Hertairoi,' had disappeared.
「Rider……」
Wilbur's face turned pale as he looked up at Rider. The giant man asked him with a serious expression,"
[I suddenly thought of something that I must ask.」
[... What?]
"Wilbur? Fairwaite, would you like to serve me as a subject?」
Wilbur's body trembled from the excitement, and tears poured down his face.
This was a question that he knew was impossible, but he had been looking forward to. There was no need to hesitate because the answer was already prepared. It was like a priceless treasure hidden deep in his heart.
[Only you are-]
This was the first time the young man had been called by his name. He did not even wipe his tears. He raised his head and said in a firm tone,
You are my only king. I'm willing to serve you and sacrifice myself for you. Please guide me and let me see the same dream as you.」
This oath made the Tyrannical King smile. To the officials, his smile was a reward that surpassed all rewards.
" Well, alright then."
Just as Wilbur felt so excited that he was about to fly into the sky, his body really floated in the air.
[... Eh?]
The king lifted the young man's short body from Busefaras 'back and gently placed him on the asphalt road. Wilbur lost his height on the horse and returned to his original height. He was confused by his low stature and insignificance.
"Revealing my dreams is my duty as a king. And as a subject, your duty is to see the dream of the king and pass it on to future generations.」
The Conqueror King looked as if he was high above, and even if he made a move, he would not be able to touch him. The king smiled brightly from his saddle and issued the order with a firm tone.
[Live, Wilbur. Witnessing all of this, and then living to tell everything. Tell the world how happy your king is, tell the world how brave Iskandar's galloping is.」
Busepharas kicked her iron hooves and neighed as if she was encouraging him. Was her neighing for the king who was about to die, or for the subject who had a difficult mission?
Wilbur lowered his head and never looked up again. Iskandar took this as a sign of approval. There was no need for any words to express it. From now until the end of time, the figure of the king would forever guide his subjects, and his subjects would forever be loyal to this memory. Before the oath, even parting was meaningless, because under Iskandar's command, the bond between the king and his subjects transcended time and space.
"Alright. Let's go, Busepharus!"
The Conqueror King kicked the side of his mount and began his final sprint. He let out a vigorous roar and rushed towards the enemy waiting for him.
He was a strategist, and he knew very well that the outcome of this battle had long been decided. However," that matter " and " this matter " were completely different. The Conqueror King Iskandar could only choose to charge at the Golden Heroic Spirit. He could not think of any other way.
He didn't give up or despair, only excitement that almost popped out of his chest.
Amazing, that guy was too amazing. This hero could even cut open the world. He was definitely the strongest enemy in the world.
That man was his last enemy.
That was the last obstacle in the world, which was more noble than the Indian Kush and hotter than the hot sand of the Markran Desert. How could the Conqueror King not challenge it? After crossing that obstacle, the other side was the end of the world. The distant dream he once embraced was now in front of him, waiting for the moment to be realized.
'Glory is in the distance'---it was because it was out of reach that he had to challenge it. For the sake of his subjects who were looking at his back, he wanted to sing praises and display the Way of the Overlord.
The Hero King, who stood in front of the Conqueror King, looked at the challenger leisurely and released the collection of the treasure vault at the same time. Twenty, forty, eighty-a group of dazzling precious artifacts spread out in the sky like a sky full of stars. The light from the relic reminded the Conqueror King of the starry sky he had looked up at in the east a long time ago.
「AAAALaLaLaLaLaie！！」
The joy that shook his heart made him open his mouth and let out a long howl as he galloped with his beloved horse.
The rain of stars let out a heavy whistling sound as it rushed over, and the continuous impact mercilessly hit his entire body. However, compared to the speed of the car, this level of pain was nothing.
He had also once flinched, saying that he would never reach the end-stupid, really out of control.
The " end " that he had been pursuing was now standing in front of him. After crossing countless mountains and rivers, he finally found his target.
Then he must surpass the past.
He stepped over the enemy in front of him.
Step by step, he kept repeating the same action. No matter how far away that figure was, as long as he gathered his pace, he would definitely be able to reach that person with the tip of his sword.
The stars poured down with a rumble. The attack was so powerful that he almost lost consciousness, and his body accidentally swayed.
When he came back to his senses, he was already running on his feet. Where did Aimabusefaras go and where did he fall? Although he really wanted to mourn for his best friend who bravely completed his mission in the end, he could not stop. This was because the step he was taking now was a memorial to the deceased.
The golden archenemy had a knowing expression on his face and seemed to be saying something helplessly. But he couldn't hear, not even the sound of the wind blowing past his ears.
He could only hear waves.
The shore at the far end was empty, and the waves were crashing back and forth. This was the sound of the waves in the Final Sea of this world.
Ah, I see. He was filled with joy as he finally understood.
Why didn't I notice it before? The excited feeling in my heart was the sound of the waves at the end of the sea.
[Haha…Ahahahaha!]
He dreamed that he was running along the coastline, and the feeling of his toes breaking through the sea foam was really comfortable. The sea water that dyed his feet red might be the blood that flowed out of his stomach, but so what? Now that he was dreaming of this ocean, was there a better happiness in the world than this?
The Hero King who was waiting for him was right in front of him. One more step, and then just one more step, and the sword raised above his head would split the guy's head open.
[Drink!!!]
He let out a resounding cry of victory and swung down the sword of Jupiter Otis.
This was the highest moment of confidence in victory. For some reason, the fleeting moment seemed to stretch on for eternity. It was as if even the passing of time had stopped-
No, it had indeed stopped. However, it was not time that stopped, but himself.
Just as the sword was about to hit the other party, strong chains bound the sword, hands, feet, shoulders, and waist. The Conqueror King sighed three times.
The Lock of Heaven was the secret of the Hero King's collection. It was a rope that could even bind a Deity Bull.
"-This is ridiculous, you fellow…inexplicable things come one after another…"
Strangely, he did not feel any remorse. It was just that he had accidentally suffered a setback because of a small matter. The self-mockery made his blood-stained mouth curl into a bitter smile.
The sword of Jupoutis did not hit the enemy, but the blunt tip of Gilgamesh's Guaiyi Sword had already pierced through Iskandar's chest. The Conqueror King felt the sword slowly rotating in his lungs. Although he felt helpless, he admired the power of this sword. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Have you woken up from your dream? Conquest King."
[... Ah ah, yes.] Yes…"
This time, he still failed to achieve his dream. The endless dream was still endless, and it ended just like that. But thinking about it carefully, this should be the only dream he had in his life.
The dream he had in Asia Minor a long time ago-he saw the same dream again in this land of the Far East.
Thinking of all these wonderful things, Iskandar smiled.
If he had the same dream twice, it wouldn't be strange if there was a third time.
In other words-
The next dream was about to begin.
[This expedition also…made me…feel very happy…]
Iskandar narrowed his eyes, which had been blurred by the blood mist, and murmured in satisfaction. Kil 'gamesh looked at his satisfied expression and nodded."
[You can challenge me as many times as you want, Conquest King.]」
Even though his entire body was pierced by the rain of Treasured Artifacts, the other party did not stop moving until he was finally blocked by the Heaven Lock. For such a heroic opponent, the Hero King gave him the greatest reward-the most sincere appreciation.
"Until the end of time and space, this entire world is This King's garden. So this king promises you that this garden will definitely not make you feel bored.」
Mordred did not need to hide anymore. He revealed himself and held the brilliant sword in his hand. He pushed the golden pickup away. The golden pickup did not expect someone to ambush him.
"Quickly dodge and stare fiercely at Mordred. Damn bastard, how dare you attack this king? Are you ready to die?”
Mordred swung her greatsword but did not respond to Kinpika.""Conqueror King, my father couldn't come personally because of some matters. He could only ask me to bring you a message.
"Hmm?" Iskandar was stunned for a moment, and said tentatively,"Your father? Heroic Spirit King?"
Mordred nodded." Father said that he hasn't had enough of drinking with you, but he wants you to be careful of the King's Army the next time we meet."
" Puhahahaha!" I, Iskandarll, was able to meet a confidant many years after my death. That was enough. Tell him that I will be waiting for him in the Hall of Heroes.
