I, Kenneth, am going to get to the root of the problem today.

Page 20

The invisible holy sword was steadily blocked by the raised divine spear. Noticing Artoria's lips trembling slightly with anger, Karna, who had been taught by Kenneth to speak his mind, began to exert his strength again.

"Why are you angry? Isn't what I'm saying exactly what you're thinking? Why deny your past? I think your life is very meaningful, and I really admire you. If..."

"Shut up!! You despicable scoundrel, even at a time like this you still can't resist trying to calm me down!!"

Now, Karna, being an honest man, was even more bewildered. He felt the force pressing down on the gun increasing, and crimson divine fire wrapped around his body. The surging heat wave suddenly pushed Artoria back several meters.

“My abilities tell me you are lying. Why are you deceiving yourself? What are you running away from? Is it those rumors? Or is it the predetermined ending? You have done your best, noble King of Knights. Your achievements are beyond reproach, your epic is something I admire. King of the Last Kings under the afterglow of the Age of Gods, your glory is beyond doubt.”

.....

"Shut up!! You despicable scoundrel, don't think these words can influence me. A true knight will never be defeated by your crooked ways!!"

As the battle raged on and Karna continued to ask questions, the girl named Artoria became flustered. Her knight's sword, which she was wielding, went erratically, and her feet, encased in silver armor, stomped haphazardly on the ground.

"Did my words affect you? I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention. I just don't understand why you would think that way. Such a dazzling life, I really yearn for it!!"

"shut up!!"

'boom--! ! ’

An invisible sword wind transformed into an iron hammer, slamming heavily onto Karna's spear with unstoppable pressure. The concrete beneath their feet collapsed under this immense force, creating a huge circular crater, and fine cracks spread rapidly. Karna's white hair swayed wildly in the violent wind.

"I'm sorry, I really..."

"Shut up—! You demon!!"

"boom!!"

The Wind King's hammer slammed down again, and Artoria's defenses were completely breached...

Chapter 49 Movements of All Parties

It just doesn't feel right without blurring it out.jpg

I'm sure everything's alright.jpg

Using the coordinates provided by Kenneth, Shishi Kairi quickly spotted Emiya Kiritsugu, who was hiding on the gantry crane outside the port.

"Lord, that magician assassin is in position number three, and his weapon looks like a sniper rifle. Should I take action?"

The voice of the Lion Clan's Destruction entered Kenneth's ears through his familiar. After recalling the panoramic view of the port, Kenneth turned his gaze to the gantry crane behind the container area.

"No need. That guy has a very strong sense of danger, and with his magic, he can control things at will. Ordinary firearms would have a hard time hurting him. What about that woman?"

"Behind Warehouse No. 3, they should be holding an AUG rifle. My field of vision is excellent; I can kill them with one shot."

"Continue to monitor. Taking action now will yield little result. We can't alert the enemy for such a small fish."

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons, Kenneth rejected Shiki Jie Li's application, allowing Shiki Jie Li to continue observing before turning his attention back to the two clashing in the distance.

Meanwhile, after searching around without success, Kiritsugu Emiya on the gantry crane prepared to retreat. His assassin instincts kicked in, and he rolled into the shadows. His Mystic Code activated, and his aura instantly merged with the gantry crane behind him.

A dark shadow flashed by at lightning speed. In the distance from the gantry crane, Bai Mao, dressed in a black cloak, completely blended into the night.

"Assassin, huh? It really was all an act."

Silently repeating this in his mind and suppressing his breathing, Kiritsugu Emiya slowly leaned towards the container behind him.

"Mai, don't make any rash moves for now. Assassin hasn't left yet. To the southwest, at the other end of the gantry crane, stay hidden and wait for an opportunity. Tonight's commotion will definitely attract other people."

"I understand."

Pressing her body tightly against the narrow gap in the container and activating her concealing attire, Hisayu Maiya minimized her presence.

A fierce blue wind swept by, and with a series of violent blows, the concrete of the port was covered with cracks from sword strikes. The crimson divine fire illuminated Karna's sharply defined features, and as she adjusted her breathing, Artoria's eyes were filled with solemnity.

"This Lancer is very strong. I am definitely no match for him in terms of martial arts alone. So, is that the only way to use him?"

An invisible wind began to swirl, stirring up the surrounding vortex, raising dust from the ground, and causing the broken concrete blocks to tremble under the flowing magic.

"Lancer, I am ashamed to admit that your martial arts skills are inferior to yours. Next, I will use all my strength."

Upon hearing the crisp female voice, Karna, despite not fully understanding why Artoria had suddenly become serious, responded as a warrior.

"I have received your conviction, and in response, I will do my utmost within the limits permitted by Master!!"

It was supposed to be a serious statement, but to Artoria it sounded like blatant mockery. Her clear green eyes narrowed, and the gale surrounding Artoria suddenly intensified.

"Even now you're still unwilling to show your true abilities? Take your arrogance and leave!"

Having already equated Karna with evil in her mind, Artoria raised her invisible blade and slashed at Karna. The resulting gust of wind stirred up all the accumulated dust. Karna, expressionless, raised his divine spear and took a step to the side, while the tip of his spear steadily touched the tip of Artoria's sword.

"So, you've already seen through my sword? In that case, can you withstand this attack?"

A swirling hurricane erupted, and the sword-wielding hands rose, transforming the tangible gale into a hammer that slammed into Karna's side. Just as Karna dodged, the azure gale transformed into a streak of light and shot out, unleashing a torrent of magical power that struck Karna's heart like an arrow.

Facing a blow that could kill an ordinary Servant, Karna, whose martial arts had reached a level unrecognized by humans, made only slight adjustments to avoid the sniper's attack while blocking Artoria's holy sword aimed at his neck. A streak of blue light grazed Karna's body, and a sudden gust of wind destroyed the warehouse behind him.

"What an exquisite combo! Is that the wind? I never imagined that a gentle breeze could be so powerful. I still have so much to learn."

"You guy!!"

At this moment, Artoria's rationality snapped completely. Due to Kenneth's unintentional actions, Karna became more talkative. However, the truth is always a cruel stab. Based on her preconceived notions, Karna, who was originally one of the noblest heroes, was now seen as a manipulative villain in Artoria's eyes.

Even if it was a genuine compliment, to Artoria it sounded like a top-tier player showing off a vast universe to someone who hadn't even left the beginner's village, and then adding, "You're only a tiny bit behind me."

"Are you still trying to humiliate me? Lancer, where is your honor as a hero?!"

Startled by Artoria's reaction once again, Karna tilted his head in confusion. Seeing Karna's reaction, Artoria's eyes seemed to blaze with fury.

Inside Liudong Temple.

“(((Hey)), Caster, is this your sister? She looks just like you.”

Through the connection between Master and Servant, Morgan, who was remotely watching, projected the battle at the port before her eyes.

"Yes, she is my sister, Artoria, a girl who was pushed onto the throne by the greater good. I was obsessed before, but now, I just want her to live happily as a young girl."

As Morgan watched Artoria, whose defenses had been breached by Karna, he suppressed the urge to see her in person, and his voice became melancholy.

"Hmm, is that so? I never imagined King Arthur was a girl. It seems you can't believe either legends or textbooks. Morgan, you have the potential to be a good older sister. That guy should really learn from you!"

Orange: Do not call.

Having caught Aozaki Aoko's resentment and already knowing about her past, Morgan couldn't help but smile.

"Good sister, I am not worthy. No matter what method I use, I only want to atone for my sins. I am a witch. The word 'good sister' is not appropriate to describe me."

“I think so. Whatever happened in the past is in the past. Witch? Haven’t I, Aozaki Aoko, known enough witches? Even if you weren’t a good older sister in the past, I believe that with this determination, you can definitely be a good older sister in the future.”

The carefree Aozaki Aoko once again displayed her off-the-charm personality. Morgan, who was initially feeling down, regained his confidence with Aozaki Aoko's encouragement. When he met Aoko's resolute eyes, Morgan's heart trembled.

"Good sister? I will try my best."

After a long while, Morgan, who was almost smitten, finally managed to focus her gaze on the petite figure that was constantly attacking Karna, and a tenderness that could terrify Mordred appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, you can definitely do it. You are a friend that I, Aozaki Aoko, acknowledge. This little thing will definitely not be difficult for you."

Patting Morgan on the shoulder, Aozaki Aoko also turned her gaze to the two Servants locked in combat.

"Are these melee-type Servants? I really want to fight them!"

Rubbing her wrists together, Aozaki Aoko's eyes gleamed with a desire to fight.

Chapter Fifty: The Entry of the Community Bull

It should be BBA.jpg

Gunner, his eyes look strange.jpg

Returning our focus to the port of Fuyuki City, as the battle intensifies, the emotionally charged Artoria gradually loses her composure, while the unhurried Karna, while dodging Artoria's slashes, continuously leaves cracks in Artoria's armor.

“Saber, your mind is in turmoil. As a warrior, this is a grave mistake.”

With her pale green eyes fixed on Karna, Artoria completely ignored his words, or rather, she had deliberately blocked them out.

"I apologize to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Without a sound, the tip of the Undying Blade ignited with divine fire originating from the sun. The intense heat distorted the surrounding air, and the moment Artoria swung her sword down, Karna suddenly appeared beside her.

"The last king under the twilight of the Age of Gods, calm down for a moment."

"Bang—Crack!!"

The Undying Blade swept across and appeared before Artoria in the blink of an eye. Before Artoria could react, the armor formed from magic exploded after resisting the divine spear for less than a breath, and the scorching spearhead slammed heavily into the unprotected Artoria.

"Boom!!"

Artoria was swept away by Karna like a cannonball, and the containers piled up in the port fell, burying Artoria's body in the rubble in the blink of an eye.

Silence. The air became incredibly still. Whether in the light or in the shadows, every magician who had been spying on this place through various means was astonished by Karna's martial arts skills.

For half an hour, Karna never attacked Artoria. No matter what kind of attack Artoria launched, Karna remained calm. And it was this calm man who, when he finally made a move, sent Saber, who was considered to be the strongest in terms of overall strength, flying away.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Little Master, are you sure you didn't see that wrong? This is really the kind of damage a Lancer with only B Strength and C Endurance can deal?"

Faced with the data fed back from his Master privileges, Waver rubbed his eyes and checked it several times before nodding affirmatively to Iskandar.

"Such superb martial arts! What a blessing it would be to have such a warrior under my command! Little Master, I've made up my mind, I will invite him to join my unparalleled army!!"

"Baka!! Is your brain all muscles? That person is someone else's servant, how could they join your ranks!!"

"Hahaha, how will we know if it will work if we don't try? Ideas without action are just empty talk. I, Iskandar, will not stop because of the impossible. Even if the hope is slim, I, Iskandar, will still point the way for my subjects! Hahaha!!!"

"Rider..."

Moved by these bold words, Weber raised his head, his tear-filled eyes sparkling as he looked at Iskandar, who stood ramrod straight.

"Oh no, something's wrong with Saber! The Holy Grail War has only just begun, it's such a pity for such a hero to leave the stage like this!!"

"The Holy Grail War is all about mutual slaughter! Wouldn't it be a good thing for us if the other Servants were to leave the stage?"

"madness!!"

A flick to the forehead sent Waver flying. Iskandar drew his Cyprus sword from his waist, the sword light slicing through the sky. The Kamui Wheel, carrying lightning, sped through the shattered space and onto the oxcart. Iskandar turned to look at Waver, who had been flicked to the forehead.

"That's enough watching, let's go over there, kid!"

"Baka baka baka!! You're doing something absolutely reckless!!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Waver no longer wanted to stay on the bridge roof where he would definitely turn into sauce if he fell, and he scrambled toward Iskadar's Noble Phantasm in a flurry.

"Hahahaha, this is more like how I, Iskandar, should act!! How could such a grand event be complete without me, Iskandar? Cheers!!"

With a flick of the hands that were holding the reins, the divine wheel transformed into lightning and rushed toward the distant port.

To be honest, Karna is really troubled right now. As a warrior, Karna really wants to respond to Artoria's attack, but due to Kenneth's instructions, Karna's spear can only dodge and avoid vital points. Once or twice is fine, but Artoria is not stupid. Her delicate face is filled with anger. Artoria's anger bar is full after she just got up from the ground.

"Lancer, when are you going to stop humiliating me?!"

Faced with Artoria's questioning, Karna deflected the invisible holy sword and assumed a fighting stance. After this period of fierce fighting, Karna realized that speaking would only make the Knight King angrier. To avoid further misunderstanding, the honest Karna silently shut his mouth.

However, under the filter of preconceived notions, Karna's silence was seen as disdain by Artoria. Magic power surged from the gaps in his armor, blowing away all the surrounding debris. Seeing that Artoria was about to get serious, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was watching from afar, immediately tried to calm her down by telepathy. Just then, a loud boom was heard.

"Baka baka!! Rider, you big baka!!!"

"Hahaha, my little Master, this is the kind of entrance befitting my status!!"

Amidst the rising dust, voices of both resentment and pride rang out, interrupting the standoff. Artoria, having finally regained her composure, leaped back to Alice's side in a few quick bounds.

"Hahaha, absolutely brilliant!! The Holy Grail War, heroes of different eras! No disrespect before the King!!!"

The air fell silent. Feeling the gazes focused on him, Waver only wanted to use a "dig three, fill one" maneuver. Before Waver could put his idea into action, Iskandar glanced at Karna and Artoria on either side and his booming voice rang out once again.

"I am Iskandar, the Conqueror. I have entered this Holy Grail War as a Rider. I ask you, unknown Servants, are you willing to join my ranks and offer the Holy Grail to me, Iskandar?! If you agree, I, Iskandar, will share with you the joy of conquering the world!!"

"Baka!! Baka!! What are you thinking?! Why did you reveal your real name?!"

The only response Waver received was a flick on the forehead from Iskandar. After disciplining his little Master, Iskandar lifted his cloak and raised his arms, once again extending an invitation to the two Servants present to join his crew.

The rough voice echoed in the silent harbor. Through the roaming Razer snakes, everyone present, watching this self-satisfied man, simultaneously realized a reality.

"This guy is a 'cow'!!!"

Chapter 51 The Oldest Little Ghost

The scene was quite awkward. Irisviel even shrank behind her ahoge (cowlick), and Iskadar laughed as he opened his arms.

"Hmm, why are none of you answering me? Are you overwhelmed by my magnanimity? Hahaha! Indeed, is it my aura that has made you hold your breath?"

Seeing Iskandar laughing uncontrollably, Waver, who was already thinking of fleeing the planet, covered his face and tugged at Iskandar's cloak. However, as a terrorist with his Cowmaster fully activated, Iskandar completely ignored Waver's tugging, drew his short sword from his waist, and struck what he thought was an incredibly cool pose amidst the raging lightning.

"How about it, unknown Saber and Lancer, do you want to join my ranks and share the joy of conquering the world with me?"

"Is this guy out of his mind? How did he manage to conquer Europe?" by: Emiya Kiritsugu, who was about to steal a chicken.
