Chapter 412 A Feast in the Mist

"It seems there are quite a few people who want to share this fine wine."

Hearing Fang Yi's words...

Looking at the [Divine Wheel] hurtling towards them from afar, accompanied by thunderous roars, and the 'Conqueror King' with an anxious expression on its back.

Gilgamesh, holding the wine bottle and shaking it as if to pour it out, looked up in displeasure.

A brief reply was then given.

"Noisy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several yellow halos of light, indicating the activation of the [King's Treasury], appeared beside him.

When the gleaming weapons within transformed into axes, halberds, and hooks aimed at the red-haired giant.

Gilgamesh shook the wine bottle in his hand.

In an extremely arrogant tone, he issued his approval to the Conqueror King's request for assistance.

"To those rude individuals who come uninvited and disrupt my banquet."

"I, the king, will certainly punish him!"

He glanced at the several [treasure weapons] that were about to fly out.

Listen to the 'Conqueror King's' reply: "This concerns not only my subjects, but also all Masters and Servants."

Gilgamesh, having caught the keyword 'subject', became interested.

He raised his head and loudly began to read his 'punishment' to the 'Conqueror King' in the air.

"Since you, such a rude and arrogant person, dare to disrupt my banquet..."

"They disturbed my guests and also wanted to rescue their own subjects."

"Then you should properly demonstrate to me your determination to rescue your subjects!!"
-
As Gilgamesh spoke, he looked at the two gleaming [Flying Hoof Divine Bulls].

A wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

These two bulls are extremely robust.

At this moment, it is wielding its iron hooves, kicking the empty void with abandon.

The ornately decorated chariot carrying the 'Conqueror King' hovered in the air, emitting thunderous roars that echoed through the sky.

He was extremely annoyed by the way the other party made their entrance and the loud noise they emitted.

He was prepared to make the other party look rather 'dull'.

Therefore, the various [Noble Phantasms] that had turned into golden streams of light after a brief pause were halfway there.

With terrifying killing intent, it was about to touch the 'Conqueror King' in mid-air.

This greatly reduced the opponent's room to dodge.

Only the oldest human fat tiger offered the condition of accepting the other party.

"If you can reach the ground alive without dodging my [Noble Phantasm]..."

"Then, I acknowledge that you are qualified to participate in this banquet!"

"You are also permitted to seek help from my guests."

After speaking, Gilgamesh handed the wine bottle to Fang Yi and began to pour the wine.

"Saber, don't interfere."

After seeing Fang Yi nod slightly in agreement.

He then casually added the second half of his sentence to the 'Conqueror King' in mid-air.

"Of course, if you feel that the conditions for joining my party are too harsh."

"Or be stingy with your [Noble Phantasm]."

"Then you may choose to dodge my [Noble Phantasm]."

Gilgamesh glanced at Fang Yi, whose expression was completely different from his calm demeanor.

Clearly dissatisfied with his 'despicable' actions, he glared angrily at Artoria.

He spoke very frivolously to the Servant whose [true name] he had seen through.

"After all, as a subject who dedicates everything to the king, and even a Master who provides magic."

"It's nothing more than an insignificant part of the pursuit of the Holy Grail."

Meanwhile, Artoria, who had already removed her armor, watched as the 'Conqueror King' was about to be surrounded by [Noble Phantasms].

As she glared angrily at Gilgamesh, she also uttered a question to him.

"You king!"
"What do you take the loyal subjects who fought alongside you for?!"

The girl, while speaking, made a fist in the air with both hands.

The holy sword appeared in response.

Clearly, the keyword "subject" provoked this "Knight King".

At this moment, the girl wants to intercept the [Noble Phantasm] fired from the [King's Treasury], thus adding an aid to the 'Conqueror King' who wants to save his subjects.
-
Gilgamesh merely smiled dismissively at Artoria's question.

Silently, it gave Artoria the reply that made her so angry she almost twisted her nose: "You don't deserve answers from me."

He ignored the other person from beginning to end.

They even turned the [King's Treasury] around and revealed several [Noble Phantasms], pointing them at the opponent.

He then shook the nearly empty bottle and poured himself a glass.

Then he raised his glass and clinked it against Fang Yi's.

This reveals a hint of meaning: "If you want to fight me, I will never refuse, but you have to wait until Fang Yi and I finish drinking."

Meanwhile, someone nearby, with their exceptional perception, discerned some of the hidden meanings within the rapidly departing [Noble Phantasm].

While clinking glasses with Gilgamesh, he remarked that "the wine has become even more fragrant and mellow."

He waved to Artoria.

He gestured for the other party to calm down and soothed the girl who was roaring like a lion.
-
Artoria, who seemed to have her sore spot touched, drew her holy sword.

Seeing Fang Yi's relaxed and carefree reaction, he was taken aback at first.

Then I realized it instantly.

Even the esteemed Mr. Saber did not voice any objections.

[He even calmly clinked glasses with that annoying gold-plated guy.]

Does that mean that the Golden Pikachu didn't actually want to kill the 'Conqueror King'?

Realizing this, she also perceived certain facts through her intuition.

Her face flushed instantly, tinged with shame and embarrassment.

She gave Fang Yi a grateful and admiring look, then silently put the holy sword away.

They carefully put away their 'claws'.
-
As for Gilgamesh's unreasonable demands.

The 'Conqueror King' in mid-air responded with an extremely decisive roar.

"Use my chariot to take the [Noble Phantasm] head-on?"

"Then bring it on!"

This 'Conqueror King' possesses an A+ rating, a Noble Phantasm, and a Divine Wheel that most Heroic Spirits can only dream of.

Faced with Gilgamesh's extremely vicious trap, they did not take any steps to avoid it.

He simply lifted the reins and controlled the [Divine Wheel] to rush straight toward the golden rain woven from the treasures.

With unprecedented determination, they charged toward Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm.

At the same time, he brandished his longsword and uttered extremely heroic words.

"This is nothing more than an insignificant Noble Phantasm."

"How can they compare to my subjects!"
"I am willing to sacrifice everything, even if it means destroying my own, to save my subjects."

As they spoke, several [Noble Phantasms] that transformed into streams of light approached the body of the [Flying Hoof Divine Ox] in front of the [Divine Wheel].

As the 'Conqueror King' sat atop the 'Divine Wheel' behind it, his longsword clashed with the 'Noble Phantasm,' producing an extremely crisp sound.

And several extremely subtle 'swoosh' sounds, indicating that the [Noble Phantasm] had pierced through the bull's flesh, rang out.

The Flying Hoof Divine Ox, which was originally speeding through the air, let out a few mournful cries.

Like a swan struck by an arrow, it dragged the [Divine Wheel] straight down towards the ground.

Like a helicopter that suddenly loses power.
-
Among them was the 'Captain', 'Conqueror King,' whose face was covered in blood and whose robe was tattered.

They did not choose to sit idly by and wait for their doom.

He jumped with extraordinary decisiveness.

As he leaped off the vehicle, he swiftly deployed his Reality Barrier and the King's Army, disappearing into the air.

Before the [Unique Boundary] could be fully deployed, he quickly closed it.

The system successfully used the inherent function of the [Realistic Boundary] to pull people into it, thus providing a buffer.

The [Divine Wheel], which had fallen before, stood on the ground. Having done all this...

His face was covered in blood, and his cloak was riddled with holes from the [Noble Phantasm].

The 'Conqueror King' looked quite disheveled.

He roared at Gilgamesh as he watched the [Divine Wheel] about to fall.

"How about it, that king?"

"Can you hear my request now?"
"I have fulfilled all your requests!"

Gilgamesh nodded slightly, a rare hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

The Noble Phantasms summoned from the Royal Treasury behind them also showed signs of being ready to be unleashed.

It was clearly an attempt to intercept the [Divine Wheel] that was about to crash.

Before [King's Treasury] was activated, Fang Yi activated [Frozen Cloud] with a simple gesture.

Deeming it necessary to preserve more combat power to better deal with the hidden enemy, Fang Yi took direct action.

With multiple collaborations with the [Lingyuan Guifeng] application.

The [Frozen Cloud] technique, already extremely skillful, is activated on the verge of 'mutation' and 'evolution'.

The 'galaxy', which had been gradually dissipating into the air and was made of tiny ice crystals, instantly transformed into two large hands of mist.

It was carried towards the [Divine Wheel], which was falling at an astonishing speed and about to be reduced to dust upon contact with the ground.

It looked as if some people with no common sense about physics were reaching out their hands to catch someone falling from a building.

He overestimated his abilities and tried to control the misty hand of the [Divine Wheel].

While a hint of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the 'Conqueror King' standing to the side, he also offered some advice.

"Saber, thank you for your help. I appreciate your kindness."

"However, there is probably little hope of preserving that chariot."

"This is not the tank that you stopped earlier and was slowing down."

As Fang Yi heard the notification sound, "[The character [Iskandar]'s friendship level with you has become [71/100],"...

'Conqueror King' glanced at [Divine Wheel] with great reluctance.

She turned to look at Fang Yi.

"No one can catch a chariot falling from mid-air unscathed."

"Even the heroes of mythology couldn't do it; there was no other possibility but crashing."

"I had already mentally prepared myself for the tank to crash."
-
In response, Gilgamesh interrupted the 'Conqueror King' with extremely disdainful words.

"Hmph, be grateful, you narrow-minded bastard."

"I was fortunate enough to receive Saber's help."

"Since Saber is happy to help you preserve the chassis, then I naturally won't say anything more."

He heard Gilgamesh's words.

A hint of obvious confusion flashed across the 'Conqueror King's' face.

This confusion quickly dissipated as he turned his head to see what was happening.

The rapidly falling [Divine Wheel] had not yet touched the two misty hands.

It then mysteriously lost all speed and hovered a few centimeters above the giant hand of mist.

The frame, along with the two bloodstained bulls, ultimately resembles an astronaut drifting aimlessly in a space station due to weightlessness.

It landed on the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water, without making a sound.

This masterpiece was a result of Fang Yi's inspiration, a technique he devised by reverse-engineering the [Frosty Wind] activated by [Frozen Cloud] and 'Realm'.

This was also the first time he had attempted to expand the influence of the "All Laws Return to Nothingness" skill in "Realm: Who Else But Me" by using other skills as a medium.
-
Looking at this unbelievable scene.

'Conqueror King' first widened his already large eyes and cosplayed as some ghosts who died violently and were filled with resentment.

After repeatedly confirming that this phenomenon was not a hallucination.

His face then revealed obvious excitement at 'preserving the chariot'.

The burly man looked at the calm Fang Yi and expressed his gratitude directly.

“Saber, I don’t know how to express my gratitude.”

"As a heroic spirit, I have nothing of value."

"If we can save Master later, he should offer some reward."

After saying these words, the 'Conqueror King' unusually felt somewhat shameless.

He scratched his cheek and abruptly changed the subject.

"Unexpectedly, it only took a few days."

"Your strength has improved dramatically since we first met."

"Were you not serious at all when we first met?"
-
Gilgamesh, standing to the side, looked at the two bulls on the verge of death and pondered for a moment.

Then, with a single gesture, the [King's Treasury] beside him revealed a magnificent small bottle cast in gold.

Gilgamesh, having removed the translucent vial, spoke impatiently to the 'Conqueror King'.

"Take it."

"Applying this to the two cows should not only cure them but also bring them some benefits."

"Now that they've been saved, I won't watch them die, leaving you only a bare carriage frame!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Fang Yi had his eye on the consumable item called "Healing Elixir," which was of "Second-Tier Epic" quality.

He waved his hand, stopping Gilgamesh's wasteful behavior.

"There's no need for that; it's too wasteful."

He moved swiftly and arrived in front of the vehicle.

Then he stretched out one hand.

With the activation of [Reversal Technique - Enhancement].

However, in a short while, the two bulls, who were barely breathing, became energetic again after the activation of [Reversal Spell - Enhancement].

Fang Yi patted the two cows.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the two cows.

The character Iskandar's friendship level with you has been manually disabled, now set to 77/100.

[This character's skill, "King's Might," contains some knowledge that you can learn and utilize. You can learn from and consult with him.] This is followed by a prompt.

He then turned back to the riverbank and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

As the fragrant wine enters the throat, it brings a strange sensation that invigorates the spirit.

[Mental state: 22 -> 23]

The notification sounded, "This is your second use of this consumable, and you have reached the maximum benefit you can obtain from it."

I feel my mind has become clearer and my perception has improved.

Meanwhile, Fang Yi had previously tasted the benefits of the increased learning speed of magic skills from this drink.

He then very 'greedily' handed the empty cup in his hand to Gilgamesh.

They started extorting money from this wealthy dog.

"Although the taste is as wonderful as ever, it's not as amazing as it was the first time I tasted it."

"Let's try some more novel bars."

"This banquet isn't over yet; there are still two new guests who haven't tasted a single drop of wine!"

Upon hearing these words, Gilgamesh laughed heartily and took out a bottle of wine that was different from the previous ones.

Just as Fang Yi had expected, he tossed the bottle of [Healing Elixir] to him.

"Hmph, this is something I gave away."

"But there has never been any talk of taking it back!"
"Now that you've cured those two cows, they're yours. Take them!"

Then, the oldest human fat tiger first threw a silver wine glass at the 'Conqueror King' next to him.

After uttering the approving remark, "You are good, you may take your seat."

He then made an inviting gesture, signaling the other person to speak.

"Then tell me how your 'subjects' disappeared."

"How do those people control Heroic Spirits through methods other than Command Seals?"

"This banquet in the fog also needs some novel stories as 'spice' for drinking."

Gilgamesh looked at the malice-laden mist surging towards the crowd again and said casually.
