Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 279 Because of You, My King
An extremely dazzling golden light fell, and the majesty of mankind's most ancient hero king bloomed without reservation.

Swords, spears, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, many weapons that can be regarded as prototypes of treasures stretched out from the golden door. The dazzling light was accompanied by the surge of magic power, and it burst out with terrifying momentum.

Even if it has never been launched, its mere presence creates an astonishing pressure.

Everyone present was amazed. Ordinary Servants could only possess one Noble Phantasm as their trump card, but even Rider, due to the special nature of his job, could possess more than one Noble Phantasm.

But it is impossible for him to possess such a large number of treasures. A random attack by the most ancient hero king of mankind would be the simultaneous release of dozens of treasures!

Even without releasing the True Name of the Noble Phantasm, the power of just launching the Noble Phantasm is enough to be proud of among the Heroic Spirits!

Just this moment——

Li Ye felt a stinging pain all over his body, as if the swords were enough to pierce his skin, tear his flesh, and cut his bones.

You should know that Liye completed the completion and growth of the [Dragon] in Mesopotamia, and his body defense alone is comparable to Siegfried's [Armor of Fafnir].

It can defend against B-level Noble Phantasms and attacks, but I didn't expect that the Noble Phantasm that Gilgamesh used at the beginning could give him a sense of crisis.

“Are they all A-rank Noble Phantasms—”

After realizing that those dozens or even hundreds of treasures were all A-level treasures, the smile on Li Ye's face became more and more intense, which also represented Gilgamesh's seriousness about the battle.

With the powerful intervention of the Hero King, the situation on the battle changed instantly.

Li Ye seemed to have become the target of public criticism, and almost all servants would fight him.

The King of Conquerors, who had been watching from the sidelines, had his eyes shining. He wanted to see just how far Li Ye could go.

Time came to the second second,
Liye, who was facing the King of Heroes Gilgamesh, noticed something strange behind him. The Little Holy Grail Irisviel von Einzbern began to move.

Not only that, Saber's magic response is also decreasing, and she is actually about to leave here with Irisviel von Einzbern.

It was obvious that Kiritsugu Emiya had realized that this was not a battlefield where they could continue to participate, and even if they hid in the dark, they would be wiped out in the aftermath.

The power of a true Servant battle was beyond the expectations of Kiritsugu Emiya and his fellow Masters.

Even hand-to-hand combat is enough to cause shocking damage to the terrain, not to mention further fighting. The human body is still too weak in such a battle.

Even if you are just hit, most of your body will be evaporated!
Li Ye, who noticed these actions, raised the corners of his mouth, stared at Gilgamesh, and laughed coldly throughout the venue: "This is not okay, everyone. Without my permission, no one is allowed to leave here--"

Even when facing the Hero King, Li Ye's momentum did not weaken at all, but became more and more powerful.

Those words filled with absolute confidence were not taken seriously by everyone.

Saber, who was covering Irisviel von Einzbern's retreat, stared at Liye's back. If Liye ignored Archer's existence and insisted on attacking them -

She had no choice but to fight the enemy together with Archer!

In order to obtain the Holy Grail, Saber will stop at nothing!

The next moment——

Saber saw the starlight blooming.

hum!
Along with the blooming of the dark aurora, doors similar to the Golden Gate bloomed from behind Li Ye. Their number even far exceeded the Golden Gate used by Gilgamesh!
"Holy Inquisition—Reload!"

In the weapons that emerged from the door, Li Ye's Holy Judgment, which had been improved several times, completed the charging in an instant!
Not only was it aimed at the golden gate opened by Gilgamesh, but even all the individual units on the field were locked by Li Ye!
"What--"

It was as if my breathing had stopped at this moment. The magical fluctuations emanating from the pitch-black door that covered the sky were each comparable to a treasure.

No one has ever left the lock of the Holy Judgment Gate, not even the lurking Assassin. He learned the assassination technique from the assassination sect "The Old Man in the Mountain", and stealth is the foundation of it.

But this time, all of these seemed to be ineffective. Assassin, hiding in the dark, felt his hair stand on end, and a sense of urgency about death came over him.

This reaction also occurred in other people.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was preparing to evacuate with his assistant Hisau Maiya, suddenly stood still, sweating profusely.

There is no doubt that he was also among the locked units. Although it was impossible to know the principle of Li Ye's attack, it was most likely magic.

No matter what, the power was something he couldn't resist!
Li Ye's extremely arrogant warning flashed through his mind, and Emiya Kiritsugu was not sure whether the other party could notice his actions.

Assuming it is the effect of magic, the scale is too large. Is it a self-regulated magic? Or does it rely on the operator to operate it?

Even Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't be sure, the only thing he was sure of was that he couldn't make any unusual moves, as he couldn't afford the cost of trial and error.

Then the only way to break the deadlock is to use the Command Spell to summon Saber -

But that would fulfill Li Ye's wish and give him the opportunity to take Ai Li away.

An extremely conflicted look appeared on Emiya Kiritsugu's face. He slowly reached his hand into his arms and grasped the beloved gun [Thompson Contender] that had accompanied him for many years.

And the magic bullet made from his ribs [Origin Bullet]

The magic bullet sealed into the ribs of Kiritsugu, who holds the origin of "cutting" and "joining". Just like his origin [cutting, joining], it brings irreversible [qualitative change] to the target.

The bullet will materialize Kiritsugu's origin to the target.

If it hits a living organism, there is no wound or bleeding, but the area where the bullet hit becomes like an old necrotic wound. The surface looks healed, but the nerves and capillaries do not regenerate accurately and lose their original functions.

When interfered with by magic, the target's magic circuits will be shattered, and because they are connected irregularly, they will become unable to be reactivated. The degree of damage depends on how many magic circuits the target has activated at the moment of hitting the target.

To perform such a grand magic trick, Li Ye must have activated a large number of magic circuits.

Kiritsugu Emiya knew that the chance of hitting the target was too low, so he had to fire at the most appropriate time.

Just as Emiya Kiritsugu was preparing to find the right moment to attack Liye, at another location—

Saber, who was protecting Irisviel von Einzbern, looked solemnly at the overwhelming Holy Judgement Gates and said in disbelief, "Is he going to go to war with all the Heroic Spirits?!"

Li Ye's move was tantamount to declaring war on everyone. Even though he had previously knocked Berserker away with a strong attitude, could he still fight against five of them alone? !

Unbelievable!
But no matter what ideas Li Ye had in mind when she released these magics, it could not stop her from taking Irisviel away!

Saber glanced at the gates of Holy Judgment in the sky that were locking onto her and Irisviel. There were thirty or forty gates, and the magic flowing through them made her feel dangerous.

Lancer, who was not far away, had already retreated to support his Master, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago. This series of changes was completed within a few seconds.

Afterwards——

The Hero King laughed out loud: "Hahahahaha, what kind of trick is this? Let me see your so-called skills!"

The oldest hero king in the human race already knew that what Li Ye said was real, but it was the [reality\future] that had not yet happened here.

Those who have accomplished many great things, who can prove their own worth and realize their desires, their worth is enough to be recognized by the King!
"Since this is your choice, I won't be polite, Hero King!!"

Li Ye, full of fighting spirit, grinned and said, "Come on!"

The King of Conquerors, realizing what was about to happen, pulled the reins and said, "Boy, let's retreat first—"

Before he finished speaking, an extremely dazzling golden light bloomed.

hum!
It is the dance of swords and knives, blooming in this new world with the glory of gold!
In contrast, it is [Humanity’s Judgment], the light at the end of the blooming is the absolute will, the determination to open up the future!

In that instant, hundreds of treasures burst out from the golden gate, colliding with the dark Holy Judgement one by one, making an earth-shattering roar!
The night sky was torn apart by this, and the brilliant sky light rose from the ground, followed by endless waves.

The torn atmosphere turned into white waves, spreading in all directions, covering both the sea and the urban area.

The snow-white wave, like a natural disaster, ravaged everything, and the faces of those caught in the wave changed suddenly.

There's no other reason, the scale of the battle is too different from before.

This is a mythical battle that is completely beyond the comprehension of the masters.

Hero King Gilgamesh is also at the top of the list of heroic spirits that can be summoned in a regular Holy Grail War. Those who can rival him are the strongest in human history and the eternal glory accumulated by mankind for thousands of years!

“Hahahahahaha!! Please make me happy, Liye!”

The king in golden armor laughed loudly, and the number of golden gates blooming behind him increased rapidly, expanding to hundreds in less than an instant!

The pressure brought by the sudden increase of hundreds of golden gates seemed to break the balance built by the Holy Judgment Liye in an instant, but almost at the same time, the number of the Holy Judgment Gates that suddenly increased also reached the same number as the Golden Gate of Gilgamesh.

The Holy Inquisitor fired continuously and blocked the swords and knives with ease!
Li Ye, who was confronting Gilgamesh, also noticed Saber and Irisviel von Einzbern trying to leave.

With a change of mind, the Gate of Judgment that had already locked onto Saber and Irisviel decisively fired out dozens of Judgments!
The light at the end of the sky forced Saber to draw her sword to respond.

It would be fine if it was just Saber herself, but now there is Irisviel behind her!
"Irisviel!! Let's go!"

In order to avoid being hit by the Holy Judgment, or even affecting Irisviel, Saber at this time was gathering all her strength to cut off the attacking Holy Judgment.

boom!
The Wind King's barrier was released again and blew away all the Holy Judges in front of him in an instant!
Irisviel behind him was shaking because of the wind pressure caused by the confrontation between Liye and Gilgamesh, as if she would be blown away at any time!
Saber realized this and stared at the back of the figure in the center of the battlefield...

The wind was howling, and not only was Irisviel suppressed by the wind pressure, but Emiya Kiritsugu, who was originally preparing to act, was lying directly on the container.

He held the gun handle tightly to prevent himself and the gun from being blown away by the terrifying wind pressure.

In order to avoid the fluctuations in magical power caused by the magic costume, Kiritsugu Emiya's entire outfit is made of pure technological products, which also means that Kiritsugu Emiya can only rely on his body to resist the wind pressure.

In the midst of the raging wind, someone's cold voice rang out: "Use the Command Seal to give the order, Lancer, cooperate with Archer to kill Li Ye!"

The Command Spell system provided by [Matou\Makiri], three compulsory commands formed by huge magical resources, can not only utilize the rich magical resources to enable the servants to achieve [miracles], but also commands such as instant movement, body strengthening, etc. can all be completed by Command Spells.

Of course, the details and scope of the command are also very important. If the scope is too wide and the command is unclear, there is a high probability that an effective substitute will not be achieved. In addition, the Command Spell can also force the Servant to execute the Master's orders. Of course, the rules are the same as above. Unclear commands will be ignored, and requests that are too rude will be resisted or even ignored by those Servants with high magic power.

But it was obvious that the target of this Command Spell did not have the ability to refuse.

Even though he was very reluctant, he turned into a black shadow and rushed into the astonishing battlefield!

Facing the attacking figure, no Holy Judgment or Golden Gate was aimed at him.

Let him get closer to Li Ye——

hum!
The chaotic atmosphere was pierced, and the scarlet spear pierced towards Li Ye's face.

This strike is destined to kill!

Lancer stared at Li Ye with a serious expression, as if expecting him to resist.

And Li Ye never let Lancer down.

Li Ye raised his hand and clenched it, and a faint magical light gathered into shape.

Hey.

The cold gun body fell into the palm of his hand, and the spirally extended gun body seemed to connect the sky and the earth, and its body was the tower at the end of the stars!
"Holy Spear - Longomyniad -"

Saber's pupils suddenly shrank when she saw what was in Li Ye's hand. As the Knight King, she once possessed many weapons, including some divine weapons.

Among them, the most outstanding one is naturally the Holy Sword of the Star [Sword of Promised Victory]. There are only a few things that can be compared with the Sword of Promised Victory, and the Tower of the End, the Holy Lance [Rongomyniad] is one of them.

The armament that formed the Tower of Light at the end of the British Sea with the help of the thirteen constraints of the round table is a weapon that can be compared with the Holy Sword of the Star [Sword of Promised Victory].

Saber, Altria can be sure that the holy spear in Li Ye's hand at this moment is the real thing, the real holy spear that she once held!
Why is it in Li Ye's hands?
Altria immediately recalled Li Ye's extremely proud declaration not long ago. What exactly did that mean?

Clang!
Even while fighting off the enemy, Li Ye was still able to focus on fighting Lancer!

It was a spear light comparable to lightning, without any magic attached to it. It was just a pure clash of blades. The clear sound it made could even tear apart the terrifying wind pressure.

The interwoven sounds of metal and iron turned into music under the night sky, echoing under the sky along with the howling wind.

When guns collide with each other, the sharp spear light can even pierce through the earth!

But the performance did not last long. As Li Ye casually activated the Holy Gate that had been locking Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald——

Almost at the moment when the Holy Judgment was launched, Lancer, who was fighting with him, decisively withdrew and went back to support Kenneth!
With Lancer's departure, the battlefield seemed to have returned to the world of Liye and Gilgamesh.

at the same time--

Even though he was in the Tōsaka residence, he could still feel the astonishing fluctuations of magical power and the raging waves. And the news sent back by Assassin, the Servant commanded by Kotomine Kirei—

Tōsaka Tokiomi frowned. If this continued, Archer's advantages would soon be exposed. Now was not the time for a bloody fight.

It would be fine if the Holy Grail War could be resolved overnight, but now the variables brought by Liye make it impossible for Tōsaka Tokiomi to judge the situation, so...

The best idea is to retreat first and observe the situation.

Furthermore, it was too foolish of Archer to use those Noble Phantasms that could be called fatal weapons in front of everyone in his first battle.

"I give the order through the Command Seal. Please retreat for the time being, Hero King."

Similar to what Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago had done previously, he used the Command Spell to issue a mandatory order.

A scarlet glow bloomed from the back of Tōsaka Tokiomi's hand—

At the seaside port, the golden king who was laughing loudly frowned and said, "You are so brave, Tokiomi, you want me to retreat just based on your advice?"

"Please calm down, Hero King. Now is not your real stage yet."

The words conveyed through the Servant Link were an attempt to make the King of Heroes accept the instructions of this Command Spell.

Almost at the moment the Command Spell was issued——

King of Heroes Gilgamesh stopped moving, and the golden gate behind him also stopped firing its Noble Phantasms.

When the golden light ceased, the Gate of Holy Judgment also stopped operating.

And at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out!
boom!
The origin bullet flew across the sky in an instant, passing by Li Ye's cheek, and disappeared into the night without leaving even a trace.

Li Ye didn't even look at Emiya Kiritsugu who failed in his sneak attack. Instead, he looked at the golden king and said with a smile: "Hero King, are you leaving now?"

The night is long, and if Gilgamesh leaves at this moment, Li Ye will inevitably feel lonely.

After years of loneliness, the desire for battle continued to accumulate.

Naturally, Li Ye was extremely excited to be able to fight with Gilgamesh.

But not long after the battle began, Gilgamesh actually wanted to leave. How could Li Ye accept this?

Gilgamesh seemed to understand what Li Ye meant. He folded his arms and said, "Only true heroes can see this king. Bastards, continue to struggle in this ridiculous war."

Because of Tōsaka Tokiomi's intervention, Gilgamesh seemed to have lost interest in continuing the fight and turned around and left.

This instantly cooled down the originally lively battlefield.

Li Ye, holding the Holy Spear Rongomyniad, glanced at the position where Emiya Kiritsugu was, and the Gate of Holy Judgment, which had not yet dissipated, instantly launched the projected weapons!

Even faster was the light blue figure, which cut off the sword before it hit Kiritsugu Emiya!

The invisible holy sword brought with it an astonishing wind pressure, and the demeanor of the king that Li Ye would never forget was reflected in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ye glanced at the other servants and masters.

Waver Velvet and the King of Conquerors Iskandar were still standing in the Gordias Wheel, but Waver's image was a little messy.

Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud and Lancer noticed Li Ye's gaze, and Lancer almost subconsciously stood in front of Kenneth.

This made the protected Kenneth look even more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and left decisively.

Li Ye, who saw this scene, did not stop Kenneth's action, but continued to look at Irisviel von Einzbern, who looked nervous in front of him.

The purpose of tonight is this mature wife who is only nine years old...

Thinking of this, Li Ye felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this description, but after thinking about it, it was still very appropriate.

"So, who else wants to fight me? If it's a battle of firepower, I won't lose, okay?"

Li Ye turned the Holy Spear Longomyniad and said with a smile: "Or do you need me to explain my spear to you?"

Tread.

Saber fell back to the ground and stood between Li Ye and Irisviel, with the invisible holy sword aimed at Li Ye.

"Knight, please explain the previous introduction clearly and stop moving forward. Irisviel will never let you take her away."

Even after seeing Li Ye's amazing strength, Saber did not retreat, but stared at Li Ye.

Not only does Saber want to protect Irisviel von Einzbern, she also wants to know where Li Ye came from!
Hearing this, Li Ye shouted expressionlessly: "Merlin~~"

Before he finished speaking, someone's voice sounded behind him.

"Here, here, here comes Merlin!"

Merlin, the flower magician who was watching the whole match, ran to Liye with a smile, then looked at Saber and said with a smile: "Altria, you are so silly, can we sit down and have a good chat?"

"Merlin, don't be so smooth-talking, just tell me what you know!"

At this moment, Altria displayed the majesty of the Knight King, or in other words, a way that made Merlin speak his true feelings.

After decades of getting along, Altria knows this old friend's character very well.

"It's actually very simple. Li Ye is really your knight, but he is the knight of [your parallel world]. Look, this gun, this blood, this, all of these are deeply related to you!"

Merlin introduced Li Ye to Altria one by one as if he was introducing goods.

'? '

As the Knight King, Artoria is not ignorant of magic knowledge. She is also aware of the theory of parallel worlds. That is why she feels confused and puzzled.

Merlin would not lie to her, or not at this moment.

Out of trust in his old friend, coupled with Altria's understanding of Li Ye's previous self-introduction and Li Ye's own composition, it can be said that it is almost certain.

That is exactly the case.

"Why are you pursuing the Holy Grail?"

Altria looked at Liyena's face, which was somewhat similar to hers, and couldn't help but ask, "If you were a Knight of the Round Table, tell me, what would your wish be for the Holy Grail?"

"Because of you."

Li Ye put away the holy spear with his eyes curved and a bright smile: "My king."
