"I understand now. It's because Matou Aki can summon Heroic Spirits and possess such great power. It's because he has gained 'her' (the King's) recognition."
He gained her approval...
The girl was a little confused.
"Since you are not a magician, this is probably a very distant topic for you, so there's no need to explain it too clearly."
"You only need to know one thing, Lady."
"Matou Aki will absolutely not let that guy get away with it."
P.S.: Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I went back to my maternal grandmother's house last night. It was extremely cold there, and I was not used to it until 3 or 4 in the morning.
I woke up with a fever, and it made me feel terrible all over. My original plan was not to update today.
After waking up, I rushed home and then lay in bed feeling groggy. But just now I saw in the comments section that someone was urging me to update, so I got up and wrote this chapter.
I just threw up and I'm going to the hospital right away.
In short, I hope everyone takes good care of their health during the Chinese New Year.
Chapter 441: Saber VS Faker - The Gap Between Heroic Spirits
"That's enough, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense anymore."
Heartless and devastated, Heartless watched as the Servant named Faker beside him slowly raised his left hand, upon which three bright red Command Seals shone.
"Matou Aki, let's fight to the death."
"Let's see if your Saber is better, or my Faker is better."
Having said that, Hartres read it calmly.
"By the Command Spell, my Sept, please unleash your full power."
"By the Command Spell, repeat the above command and shatter the boy before you and his Servants into nothingness!"
Before Hartles could finish speaking, Hephaestion, empowered by the Command Seals, charged forward at incredible speed, his sharp dagger aimed unmistakably at Shen Qiu's neck.
"Wind King's Hammer - Invisib~leAir"
However, things were far from that simple. The instant she stepped forward, Artoria had already reacted. The immense wind pressure wrapped around the invisible sword instantly repelled Hephaestion a second before he could move.
"In the way!"
After being repelled in an instant, the Faker-class Servant did not hesitate to launch a second attack, with countless crimson magical energies sweeping towards Artoria.
"it's useless!"
With just a few light swings of the invisible sword in his hand, Hephaestion's powerful crimson magic vanished into the cold night wind. His A+ level magic resistance was so great that even Caster's magic could not compensate for it.
"Is this Saber? The strongest class."
Hatres's eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Artoria. If this power belonged to him, then...
He hates the current state of the magic world.
In 1994, he was caught up in the factional struggles among the nobility, betrayed by the disciple he had personally taught, and murdered by his own hand in the tomb of Albion, where his body was dumped.
Before his death, filled with hatred, he opened the fairy realm and sent himself into it. What he gained in the fairy realm is unknown, but when he returned, he found himself back thirty years in the past.
However, thirty years later, the same betrayal happened to him once again.
The magic world is rotten to the core now, filthy, disgusting, and emanating a stench of decay at every moment. Instead of competing with other factions of Lords for that declining mystery, it would be better to find another way and try to turn this already decaying clock tower upside down.
The birth of Hephaestion was the first step toward that goal.
"Qiang Qiang!"
Artoria's invisible longsword clashed fiercely with Hephaestion's dagger. With the help of two Command Seals, she was able to fight the King of Knights to a standstill for a short time.
"Damn, what incredible power!"
Even so, Hephaestion still bore enormous pressure. With Shen Qiu as his Master, all of the Knight King's inherent skills were pushed to near-maximum levels.
Strength A+++, Endurance EX, Agility A+, Magic EX, Luck A++, Noble Phantasm A+++.
With such terrifying stats, the fact that she could fight Artoria to a standstill only proves that she is worthy of being the stand-in for the conqueror king, Alexander Iskandar.
"Faker, you don't have a name, do you?"
Watching the flashing swords and shadows entangled between the two, Shen Qiu suddenly uttered such an inappropriate sentence.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Gritting his teeth, Hephaestion braced himself with his short sword, then used magic to create a distance between himself and Artoria in close combat. He looked at the boy with blood-red eyes in front of him and said through gritted teeth.
"In order to carry out the operation of the Magical Substitute, you, as the twin sister of Hephaestion, were offered to the gods from the moment of your birth, and thus bore all the curses from Iskandar, the King of Conquerors."

"Am I right, Faker?"
After a moment of stunned silence, the fake Servant burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, you're right, young man. I have no name. Although that king has tried many times to bestow a name upon me, I have always strongly refused."
"So, even until the very last moment of my life, I had no name. I was merely a magician's stand-in, nothing more!"
After a loud shout, Iskandar's Stand once again engaged in a fierce battle with Artoria, but this time, the Knight King decided not to hold back.
... 0
"【Unique Skill - Path of Brilliance - EX】Unleashed"
"[Unique Skill - Dragon's Heart - A++] Unleashed"
"[Unique Skill - Mana Release - A+++] Unleashed"
Artoria, enveloped in a destructive golden light, swung her invisible sword. Caught off guard, Hephaestion was completely caught off guard by the terrifying power and his short sword snapped in two.
"Oops!"
Seeing the short sword in his hand instantly cleaved in two, Hephaestion instinctively tried to use his Mystic Eyes of Immobilization, but against Artoria, whose magic resistance was at an A+ level, it only delayed him by less than half a second.
It was just enough to shift one's position slightly.
The Sword of Oath and Victory mercilessly pierced the abdomen of the Faker Servant. After the sword was pulled out, Artoria delivered another merciless heavy kick, sending her flying dozens of meters away, almost causing her to fall off the Mystic Eyes Collection Train.
"Damn it, is this the heroic spirit that the king once defeated? Its strength is indeed extraordinary."
After struggling to her feet, she clutched her abdomen, which had been pierced by the Knight King's sword. The sword had been just a hair's breadth away from breaking her spirit core, and the powerful piercing attack caused her abdomen to bleed profusely.
"Hephaestion, the reason you haven't appeared in the King's Army is because you despise it." (5.)

At this moment, Shen Qiu's calm words stabbed Hephaestion in the heart once again.
"What do you know, you greenhorn brat!"
Upon hearing Shen Qiu's words, Hephaestion, who had been barely managing to maintain his composure, could no longer control his facial expression, which began to contort.
"You damned bastard, you're not allowed to utter another word, or I'll twist your head off!"
"Saber, step back."
"As ordered."
Shen Qiu opened his eyes once again, but this time it wasn't the Rinnegan; it was the deep, golden clairvoyant eye.
A golden halo appeared around him, revealing half of a huge key.
"That, that is!"
Despite having already experienced enough shocks tonight, El-Melloi II still couldn't contain his excitement upon seeing the golden halo beside Shen Qiu.
Isn't that a Noble Phantasm that only Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, possesses? Why would such a bug-level Noble Phantasm appear on Shen Qiu?
Could it be that, in addition to summoning Heroic Spirits, he can now even manipulate their Noble Phantasms?
[Wang Lujian - Unsealed.]
As the boy softly called out, four brilliant golden circles appeared around him.
Then, what shone from that golden halo was—
Noble Phantasm!
"will die!"
Seeing the four Noble Phantasms shooting towards him from different directions, Hephaestion's ideals told him that he absolutely could not be hit, otherwise he would perish here mercilessly.
After throwing her short sword to interrupt the trajectory of one of the Noble Phantasms, she began to dodge frantically. Crimson lightning was released once again, knocking down another Noble Phantasm.
Even so, two Noble Phantasms pierced his shoulder blade and lung respectively. If Shen Qiu were to use Illusion Collapse to detonate the Noble Phantasms at this moment, Hephaestion would be directly transformed into spirit particles and disappear from this world.
"What a joke! They actually shot their Noble Phantasm at me like an arrow!"
Despite being empowered by two Command Seals, the magical power granted by the Command Seals had long been exhausted under the repeated attacks from Shen Qiu and Artoria.
Without a doubt, they have been driven to the brink of despair.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you were going to twist my neck off?"
Looking at the disheveled Hephaestion, Shen Qiu mocked him mercilessly.
Despite being the king's shadow, the two men have completely different personalities. One is rugged and bold, and every word he speaks can bring endless passion to people.
