"Of course, this time, I want to see if you have the qualifications to compete for the Holy Grail. If his wish is not qualified, it is better to withdraw directly to avoid unnecessary disputes.”
Everyone remained silent and enjoyed their wine. They did not take Rider's threat to heart. Gilgamesh was the first to speak.
" Ridiculous. Speaking of which, the premise of 'fighting' for the Holy Grail is already wrong. The Holy Grail has been mine from the very beginning. The other participants of the Holy Grail War are just bandits who have designs on This King's treasure.”
"Oh? So, Archer, you once possessed the Holy Grail? Does that mean you know what the Holy Grail is?”
"I don't know."
Gilgamesh's answer was beyond Rider's expectations, but Rider did not interrupt. Instead, he quietly waited for the rest of the story.
" Don't measure me with the standards of miscellaneous cultivators. My total wealth has long exceeded my understanding. As long as it has the concept of 'treasure', it is one of my wealth. Taking out my treasure as a prize for the competition without permission, even if you're a thief, your skin is too thick!”
"Indeed, as the Hero King, these words are not too much. However, you're still a dead person. Those treasures belong to you when you were 'alive' and not when you're 'dead'.”
Aske looked at Gilgamesh with a half-smile. It was a pleasure to admire the change in expression on his face.
"Isn't your method of provoking Ye too low-level?”
Gilgamesh did not fall for it either. He continued to drink his wine calmly.
"Hmm, then as the Hero King, you definitely wouldn't regret a Holy Grail, right?”
"Of course, Rider. However, those thieves who have designs on my treasure must be punished. This is a matter of principle.”
"So, what do you mean?"
Rider took a sip of the wine and became interested in the principles that the Hero King spoke of.
"Is there any meaning or reason for this?”
"It's the law, the law I set for this country. If you break the law, I'll punish you. There's no room for excuses.”
At the same time, Gilgamesh looked at Asker, as if he was deliberately saying it for Asker to hear.
"In that case, we can only meet on the battlefield.”
Rider poured himself a glass of wine and turned to Saber.
"Then what about you? As the Knight King, what is your wish?”
"I-"
Saber glanced at Asker and then at Rider.
" I want to save my hometown."
"Save your hometown? Does that mean you want to change history?”
Before he could answer Rider's question, Gilgamesh laughed at an inappropriate time.
"What's so funny, Archer!”
"Hmph, I didn't expect that the Knight King would still have such a childish dream. What a joke."
“Archer——！”
"Saber, let me ask you, do you want to overturn the history you created?”
Rider interrupted Saber. He was no longer smiling like before. Instead, he was a little angry.
" Yes, I wish to return to the past, step down from the throne, elect a new king, and then-"
Saber turned to look at Asker.
"I've always been by his side."
Rider's anger deepened. As a king, he regretted what he had done and wanted to overturn the history he had created. This was intolerable to Rider. Such a person did not deserve to be a king.
However, Saber's next words left Rider at a loss for words. His anger gradually dissipated, and even Gilgamesh stopped mocking him. He looked at Asker, and his interest in him increased.
"This is really hard to evaluate."
Rider downed a glass of wine and continued,"
"As a king, you are undoubtedly unqualified. But your determination is admirable. He was willing to give up his throne just to be by his lover's side. This infatuation was worthy of respect.”
For some reason, the entire arena suddenly fell silent. Unable to stand this strange silence, Aske looked at Rider.
"What about you, Rider? What is your wish?”
Ton ton.
Rider gulped down a glass of wine and looked a little embarrassed. His bashful attitude was completely out of character.
"I want to obtain a physical body."
"Huh? Isn't your wish to conquer the world?”
Wilbur, who was behind Rider, ran over with a puzzled expression. He punched Rider's back, but Rider pushed him away with a slap.
Rider calmed himself down and looked at his own hands.
"Although we descended upon this land, we are still heroic spirits, people who have already died.”
"This king wants to reincarnate into this world and become a living person.”
" Straighten your body and face the world. This is everything to conquer this 'action'!”
"Start like this and gradually advance, achieving the great cause of conquest!!!”
"This is my Tyrant Dao."
......
Influenced by Rider's powerful speech, the atmosphere in the arena fell silent again.
The first to break the silence was still Asker.
"Interesting."
"The body is the foundation of strength.”
"Interesting, Rider. I really want to see your face of despair.”
A happy expression appeared on his face, and there was even a hint of madness.
This was the first time Saber had seen such an expression on Asker's face.
'Is this what he said, his true appearance?'
Wilbur was also frightened by Asker's expression. In his eyes, Asker was simply a demon, no, a demon from hell!
After drinking a mouthful of wine, Aske also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly calmed down.
"I've decided, Rider. I'll kill you myself.”
"Well, if you can do it, then come.”
Rider didn't flinch at all and responded directly to Asker.
"After saying so much, what is your wish, Caster? Speaking of which, you once said that you were the Demon King. What did that mean?”
Saber was also intrigued. Asker had said before that he only wanted the Holy Grail itself and the huge amount of magic power, but he didn't know the specifics.
Asker had never told Saber about his wishes.
What was he going to do with the huge amount of magic power he obtained from the Holy Grail?
What was his wish?
Saber wanted to know more about Asker.
"My wish?"
Aske did not answer immediately, but took a sip of the wine.
Everyone was not in a hurry and quietly waited for Aske to continue.
