Davidian's Holy Grail War

After a brief moment of thought, he came to the conclusion that not a single word was excessive.

“Every word you said was outrageous!” Ishtar’s eyes gleamed with dazzling gold. “Fine! Since you’ve said that, I won’t hold back anymore! I’ll just snap your neck 180 degrees! You golden spiky thing!”

As she spoke, she fired a light blast at Gilgamesh from her hand. To everyone's surprise, it was Mash who blocked the attack this time.

She was really fast, and David secretly admired her.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! I'm so scared! Davidian, and those from Chaldea over there, come at me together and teach this ungrateful, wanton goddess a lesson!"

Gilgamesh remained seated on his throne with no intention of rising, clearly indicating that he was unwilling to join the battle this time.

Davidian raised an eyebrow, thinking, "Well, you're the one who made that rude remark, and now I have to clean up your mess?"

However, he still activated Moon's Darkness and slashed directly at Ishtar, deciding to control Ishtar first.

"I never thought I'd be fighting you here!" The Sky Boat flew in from above and blocked David's swing. Ishtar didn't really want to fight David in person.

As Ishtar focused on David in front of her, Anna swung her scythe from behind. Although Ishtar nimbly dodged it, Mash's shield came crashing down from above! This time, she had no way to avoid it.

But the next moment, a muffled collision sound erupted from within the tower. Ishtar had actually punched Mash's shield head-on, sending her flying upwards.

Ritsuka was stunned. What kind of monstrous strength gorilla was this? How could such slender arms unleash such powerful strength? Was it for real?

The four of them started fighting right there in the hall, while Gilgamesh was cheering them on from the sidelines.

"Hey, hey, hey! David, don't hold back like this! Show us your true skills! Use the power of the Evil King Flying Dragon too!"

Are you afraid of hurting this spoiled goddess? There's no need for that; this guy's skin is thicker than Hummus's.

[Can't you just say less?] David grumbled to himself but didn't bother to say it aloud. Was he really going to pull out the Evil King Flying Dragon and kill the goddess in front of him right here?

They had all noticed that although Ishtar was a bit spoiled, she wasn't a bad person. Why kill her?

The next moment, after a brief close eye contact with Anna, Ishtar suddenly jumped back onto the Skyship and stopped throwing a tantrum.

She savored the feeling she had just experienced before saying, "I see. You could say it's cause and effect, destiny. I've changed my mind. Let's call it a day."

"Haha! A goddess like you is actually running away with your tail between your legs? That's so typical of you!"

Even now, Gilgamesh still had to say something to the other guy. David instinctively covered his face, wishing he could go up and stuff his mouth shut.

But Ishtar wasn't angry about it; instead, she immediately began to ascend. However, before leaving, she said:

"Siduri, if Gilgamesh dies, it's not impossible for me to come back and continue helping Uruk. You'd better prepare to surrender."

"White flag?" Siduri was puzzled by what Ishtar meant, especially the waving gesture just now. What did that have to do with a white flag?

After Ishtar left, Gilgamesh relaxed and leaned back on his throne, saying, "That woman's head has completely calmed down. But it doesn't matter. Siduri, let's continue with today's work."

Siduri nodded and came closer to report on the day's work; the two quickly got into the swing of things. Even Merlin and Davidian couldn't get a word in edgewise, since they weren't doing that kind of work here.

"Senior, the scene is back to normal as if nothing happened. I thought things would have changed after what happened with Ishtar."

Mashu didn't know how to describe the current situation either; they were helpless.

Merlin then suggested that they find a place to stay first, and perhaps King Gilgamesh would change his mind and choose to cooperate with them the next day.

But Gilgamesh simply said, "Fool, I'm not deaf to your words. Listen up, Chaldea, I'm very busy right now and don't have time to go on an outing with you lot."

I've said I don't need your power right now, and that's final. Even if you did have a chance to shine, it wouldn't be now.

And Merlin! What are you trying to achieve by constantly giving them advice? You are a servant summoned by me, so you should serve only me!

At this point, everyone suddenly realized what David had said earlier. They were all Servants summoned by Gilgamesh himself, and Roman also realized this.

As Davidian had mentioned before, Merlin's identity was just too shocking for them at the time, so they temporarily forgot about this crucial element.

Chapter 235 Work Hard

[What on earth is going on?! Merlin, wasn't it King Gilgamesh before you who summoned you from the sacrificial grounds of Uruk?!]

After meeting Merlin, Dr. Roman seemed to be much more active than before. Both Ritsuka and Mashu were surprised by Dr. Roman's all-out effort, as if he and Merlin were rivals in some way.

"Oh? Didn't I explain? That's right, he is the wise king who transformed from a warrior into a chanter. To protect Uruk, and even to protect all of Mesopotamia, he invigorated his divine blood as a magician. He's much more approachable than King Gilgamesh usually is!"

Merlin was very happy to introduce Gilgamesh, but the introduction made the others frown. It wasn't that his introduction was bad, but Merlin's words were always too fancy and made people uncomfortable.

Gilgamesh then gave his reply with a cold snort:

"I must admit that this disaster cannot be resolved by my own strength alone. To protect the people, defend the land, and stabilize their lives, we must mobilize the entire Mesopotamian world to fight together."

Therefore, I sealed the Royal Law Key, which is wielded by a magic wand, and summoning Servants is part of this process. Unlike Chaldea's summoning magic, this is a genuine summoning of Heroic Spirits.

"As Gilgamesh said, this is how we were summoned."

Before your arrival, I had been fighting on the North Wall for quite some time, and it was because of this achievement that I gained the recognition of the citizens of Uruk.

I'm not like Merlin; I'm a warrior, someone who fights to the very end.

David also corroborated Gilgamesh's words, stating that all of them, his followers, had come here voluntarily to help Gilgamesh.

Aside from Ibaraki-doji, Davidian had already found an opportunity to send her back to the Throne of Heroes. Coming here to do nothing and daring to occupy Gilgamesh's precious magical resources? Get back here, we don't need her anymore.

[I see... This is a bit of a blow to our confidence. Even ancient kings could summon Heroic Spirits so easily...]

Roman's voice sounded weak and listless; he seemed quite devastated.

Davidian, however, felt that he didn't need to do that. Chaldea had already repaired six singularities, an achievement that no Servant or King present could accomplish.

Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become a bit heavy, Merlin comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. After all, this is the era when the Age of Gods began to end. Compared with the Gregorian calendar, the difficulty of summoning Heroic Spirits is much lower."

Conversely, in the mysterious and sparse 21st century, neither I nor King Gilgamesh would have a chance to summon Servants independently through magic.

Gilgamesh didn't want to be too harsh, so he praised everyone: "That's exactly right. Your behavior is somewhat arrogant and inhumane."

But that summoning system is something that only those with divine talent can achieve. I will not mock your efforts, research, and the miracles you have accomplished.

And so too are the efforts made in response to that faint, hair-like hope! Be glorious, Chaldea! Your battles so far have been magnificent! Truly commendable achievements!

Mashu and Ritsuka's eyes widened immediately, and joy appeared on their faces. Being praised by the king in front of them was a great thing for them.

David turned his head away embarrassedly. Now, considering their previous behavior... could this be considered that these old foxes had seriously engaged in PUA tactics against these young people from Chaldea?

Shameful! Shameful!

"But those things are completely different from my era and what I'm doing now! I don't need you guys right now! But if you insist on serving me no matter what, then..."

Gilgamesh stopped speaking. And just when everyone thought he was about to say something amazing, what he said next shocked them all.

"Let's start with odd jobs!"

Ritsuka and Mash only realized it was dusk when they left the tower. David and Merlin accompanied them to find them a place to stay.

Furthermore, Davidian plans to give a large portion of the money he has earned during this period to the two children so that they can experience the customs and culture of Uruk and Mesopotamia, which is a very necessary thing.

He always felt that asking two children to do such a major thing as restoring humanity and preventing its burning was no different from making things difficult for them.

This is going too far! If he hadn't known he had no other choice, he might have even scolded Roman for letting his two children bear such a heavy burden.

Therefore, relaxation is also quite necessary, and they should experience more happy moments.

Only in this way will they find that their minds are not filled with only painful and bitter memories when they look back.

Just as David was thinking this, Siduri came out of the tower. She called out to everyone and said that she would be in charge of the lives of the Chaldeans from now on.

She also introduced herself, even though the others already knew her name from King Gilgamesh.

However, it is only now that Ritsuka and Mash realize that she is actually the High Priest of Uruk and also the King's advisor.

"Miss Siduri, nice to meet you! By the way, raising a white flag means surrender!" Ritsuka cheerfully explained the meaning of the goddess Ishtar to Siduri.

Siduli laughed as she said that she hadn't understood what the goddess meant, but in her heart she was also thinking – this child is really optimistic and emotional.

Despite being tormented by Wang for a while, he's still so energetic.

Merlin, however, was delighted and said, "I never expected that Lady Siduri would be willing to take care of Ritsuka and the others! Oh, this is wonderful! They've been a great help!"

This gave me some time to get some fresh air, and honestly, the ale in Uruk is absolutely divine!

Upon hearing Merlin's words, Siduri's beautiful face also wrinkled.

She couldn't help but sigh and said to everyone, "As you can see, Merlin is completely useless. So please come with me first, at least to our lodgings."

By the way, I will explain the King's meaning to you all. When the King says he doesn't need you now, it doesn't mean you are worthless or useless.

Merlin then left the group, while Siduri led everyone towards their pre-arranged lodgings.

Along the way, she explained the current situation to everyone, saying that the best way to attract Gilgamesh's attention was to build up merits.

The naive Mash thought Siduri meant that she wanted them to become warriors and defeat the monsters.

But Davidian said that was his job, and they really didn't need to do that now.

So Siduri told them that instead of doing this kind of thing, they should solve all the big and small problems within Uruk.

If they can genuinely help the people of Uruk, their deeds will eventually reach the King's ears. Then all difficulties will be resolved, and the task of introducing the work can be left to Siduri.

“No… thank you so much!” Mash was the first to express her gratitude, but she also had her doubts, “But why is Miss Siduri going to such lengths for us?”

"Because the king entrusted me with taking care of you. That lord rarely speaks of what is truly important! Although I don't quite understand yet, you are worthy of such treatment. Therefore, as your servant, I only need to trust the king's words."

Siduri responded with a smile, and for some reason, everyone felt that Siduri was absolutely stunning.
