Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

"Feel the pain of this world!"

The hissing roar echoed in the dark world for one second, two seconds, three seconds...

"..."

Nothing happened. The black mud spread on the ground and continued to flow quietly, like a naughty child who was so addicted to the amusement park that he ignored his parents' calls.

"What's going on?"

Before Angra Mainyu could understand the confusion, Noah raised his hand and waved.

"This is the evil of the world, isn't it? Go! Give him two slaps to wake him up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally silent black mud suddenly surged up waves, and with a deafening roar, it rushed towards Angora Mainyu, who was completely dumbfounded.

The black mud was like countless pythons, wrapping around him layer by layer, strangling him and slapping his face.

Although the noise was loud, the two sides were of the same origin after all, so Angolan Mainyu did not suffer much damage.

In other words, when he was hurt by the black mud, he was repaired by the black mud in an instant, and he didn't even have time to feel how much damage his body had received.

But compared to the physical pain, the mental torture made Angola Mainyu even more dazed.

How is this going?

Am I not the root of all evil in this world?

Why would Heini listen to this person's orders?

A feeling of pain arose in Angra Mainyu's heart, as if something very important had been taken away by the enemy and was being used to deal with him. He felt as if his chest was tightly wrapped and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

pain!

It hurts so much!

However, not long after Angra Mainyu was beaten, the Holy Grail system mutated again.

A raging magical storm suddenly arose, and the darkness in the large cavity shattered like an eggshell, followed by the central magic circle shaking violently.

The black mud surged up, swallowed up Angra Mainyu and wrapped him up, then spread to the magic circle that spread like bones, and gave rise to real flesh and blood.

One after another, huge eyes gradually lit up in the darkness, as if a wild beast that had been trapped for a long time wanted to break free from its cage, and the entire Yuanzang Mountain began to tremble violently.

"Hahaha, I finally waited for the second Servant's death and the Root Gate opened!"

*

Within the barrier of the King's Army, the blazing, shining endless desert scene was being swept and shattered by gusts of scarlet gale.

The sky was shattered like a torn canvas, the earth was breaking up and floating like ice in spring, and the screams of tens of thousands of heroes rose one after another.

"rider!"

Even though he had witnessed collisions similar to supernova explosions, Weber still felt his soul tremble when he saw such a scene.

Because this gap is deeply engraved in the deepest part of life.

It is just like no matter how powerful human beings are, when faced with natural forces such as typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis, they can only feel their own insignificance.

But when he turned around, he couldn't see any dull, timid, anxious or hesitant expression on Iskandar's face.

Yes, there is just excitement and passion.

He turned his gaze away from the golden figure in the distance, who was destroying the barrier with a red-tubed greatsword, and looked at Waver.

"Hey, Master, there's something I've never told you."

An ominous premonition instantly filled Waver's heart, causing his pupils to tremble and his face to turn pale.

"Wha, what?"

"Will you accept me as your king?"

In the Holy Grail War, the compatibility between Master and Control is a very important and complex issue.

A master and servant with bad compatibility, not only cannot exert their full combat effectiveness, but may even kill each other before they even encounter the enemy.

But having a good compatibility is not necessarily a good thing.

Because when people criticize others, they are inherently prone to being very concerned about all their own shortcomings.

Suspicious people often feel that everyone is testing them.

People who are greedy for money also think that everyone else is greedy for money.

Arrogant people will not allow anyone to dominate them.

People with lofty ideals may turn against each other just because of the slightest difference in route or different vision of the future. On the contrary, people who gather together because of interests often have room for reconciliation.

Weber and Iskandar are a pair of master and servant made in heaven.

They were completely different in appearance and temperament, but strangely enough, they were both equally proud inside, so they could understand each other.

Their meeting is a kind of luck that is rare for other masters and servants.

Therefore, when Weber heard Iskandar's question, he immediately understood his purpose.

Weber's heart suddenly began to tremble, and his eyes were blurred with tears.

But he opened his lips several times, but he couldn't utter the words "Why not retreat and wait for the Berserker to come and beat the Acher?"

Because Weber knew that this was a humiliation to Iskandar.

From the past few days of getting along with Iskandar, Weber learned one thing.

That is, life is a very long marathon.

Winning or losing at a certain moment is not important. As long as you grit your teeth, there is still a possibility of winning in the end. But if you think in your heart that you will never catch up with the other party, then victory will never be hopeless.

How could the mighty King of Conquerors, Iskandar, run away and wait for others to rescue him?

Even if he dies, he will fight!

After realizing this, Waver took a deep breath, swallowed all his tears, and stared with red eyes.

"Of course! You are my king! Forever my king!"

Iskandar threw his head back and laughed heartily. "This is conquest! Endless conquest! Even if you often fail, even if you don't reach your goal, even if you're about to die, you'll always encounter new things and meet new people! You'll see the infinite unknown!"

Gently patting Waver's shoulder, Iskandar used his calm gaze to miraculously force back the tears in Waver's eyes.

"Boy, although we have only been together for a few days, to me, your conquests are worth as much as those I have made over the past few decades. Even after returning to the Throne of Heroes, I will always remember them!"

"Yes, me too!"

Iskandar slowly lowered the chariot to the ground and carried Waver out.

Then, without hesitation or pause, he launched a final charge in a world where the King's army was gradually collapsing with the disappearance of the warriors in the inherent barrier.

Waver also took advantage of the situation and launched his last Command Spell.

The second Command Seal was used by Waver to support Iskandar when he activated his inherent barrier.

"Use the Command Seal to command, Rider, to achieve victory!"

Backed by powerful magic, Iskandar's face displayed a domineering expression filled with pride.

"Acher! You truly deserve the title of the oldest and most original king—"

Suddenly, he let out a majestic roar like thunder.

"——But precisely because of this, it's worth challenging!"

With the infusion of magical power that seemed to have exhausted all, and the blessing of the Command Seals that carried the will of both the Master and his comrades, Iskandar's horse began to gallop at an astonishing speed.

Although it is not a divine bull chariot driven by thunder, this warhorse that followed the Conqueror King across three continents in his lifetime still releases thunderous explosions that can make one's eardrums burst.

The fact that the final battle with the hero from another world was not fought was undoubtedly Iskandar's biggest regret in this Holy Grail War.

But dying at the hands of this primordial king, with that supreme treasure that could even destroy inherent barriers, was by no means a humiliation!

With a fiery passion that never faded, Iskandar rushed towards Gilgamesh, raised his sword, and used all his strength.

Even though a rain of Noble Phantasms came pouring down and shot his horse to death, Iskandar still climbed up from the ground and charged forward.

Even though the long sword pierced his body, Iskandar's speed did not stop at all.

Can't stop!

Because the ministers' eyes were fixed on his back!

Because he carries the dreams of his comrades on his shoulders!

Because as long as he doesn't give up, the road to conquest will continue to spread like hope!

When your body has reached its limit, your will will lead you out of the siege!

"Come on, my enemy!"

Gilgamesh stared coldly at Iskandar who was rushing towards him, as if the other party was right in front of him, and he could easily see the excitement and vitality in the eyes of the King of Conquerors.

The courage and determination of "I would be willing to die in the evening if I hear the truth in the morning" made his heart move slightly.

"...Except for Noah, not all the people in this Holy Grail War are bastards. Unfortunately, your conquest has ended with your encounter with me..."

At the moment Gilgamesh finished speaking, new golden ripples lit up, but what shot out from them were chains with a clear aura.

Compared to the previous straight ballistic Noble Phantasm, this golden chain penetrated the void and locked onto Iskandar like countless poisonous snakes.

In just a moment, Iskandar was tied up tightly and unable to move.

Then, the sword of rebellion in Gilgamesh's hand pierced straight through his heart, shattering his soul core.

"...What an exciting expedition..."

Without any regret or unwillingness, Iskandar showed a satisfied smile.

Under Waver's tearful gaze, Iskandar's sturdy body transformed into specks of light and dissipated.

After taking a look at Weber, Gilgamesh did not kill him again. He stood quietly there, waiting for the inherent barrier to be broken.

How to kill Kotomine Kirei?

Back on Mount Enzo, Gilgamesh was just wondering where that bastard Kotomine Kirei would appear next when the strange change in the sky first attracted his attention.

"that is?!"

A black wave like a giant tsunami spread across the sky.

The sky at night was originally black, but it was not until this black wave covered the sky of Fuyuki City that people understood what true darkness was.

The darkness that seemed to devour everything in the world was actually a scene formed by a huge vortex of magical power.

The source of this strange phenomenon soon revealed its true form.

Although its body is very small, its presence is extremely strong, just like a spot of pure black in pure white.

It was a darkness that was even more condensed and pure within the already deep darkness.

A hole—by the time people realize it, it has instantly become a hole.

The only thing that could confirm its shape was the deep and terrifying crimson glow emanating from the surrounding area.

It is like a black sun, slowly rotating in the sky.

However, what it spread out was not light, but black mud.

At first, only small wisps of water came out.

But as the cavity expanded, the black mud quickly turned into silent black waves, slanting down from the sky like a waterfall.

Not only the land and trees below, but everything the black mud spread over turned into a dirty color, quickly filling every piece of land in the valley and turning into the most vicious curse.

"This is... the Holy Grail?"

Feeling the vastness and silence of the abyss, yet the pure malice in the sky, Artoria couldn't help but shrink her pupils and grip the holy sword in her hand tightly to give herself a sense of security.

If she were to come into contact with the extremely ominous, hot, muddy black mud, even if she could maintain her composure, her spiritual foundation would be polluted, and her will and spirit would probably be severely affected.

Absolutely don't do that kind of thing!
