Chapter 129: The King's Banquet Ends, Archer Leaves Alone

The sudden appearance of two servants and Archer's sudden entry into the battle immediately plunged the kings into chaos.

"Rider!" Weber backed away warily, standing back to back with Rider, while the red-haired giant drank the wine in one gulp, stood up, and protected his Master by his side.

"Come to me, Irisviel." Saber put down her wine glass, drew out her holy sword, and stood side by side with her wife.

As for Archer, although he was still sitting in his seat, the golden ripples behind him and the flying Noble Phantasm made Berserker furious, but he was unable to step forward.

On the other side of Shuo Yue, it was another scene.

"Don't run around, Miyu." The golden-eyed young man looked at the two battlefields with interest and subconsciously protected his sister, "I will protect you."

"I am the servant, brother..." Miyu was helpless.

"Although the tolerance and generosity in entertaining banquet guests is also a test of a king's mettle." Rider looked at the scene in front of him and scratched his chin, "But no matter how you look at them, they are all bad guests..."

"You are extremely stupid, King of Conquerors." The King of Heroes remained motionless, with the roaring Berserker behind him seeming to become his background. "Is it possible that you still want to invite them to drink?"

Although Archer also interfered in the battle, he did not destroy the banquet. Instead, he suppressed Berserker with minimal effort and prevented him from being evil. It is unknown whether the reason for doing this was to protect his master or to ensure the smooth progress of the king's banquet.

Rider smiled bitterly, sighed, and called out to the two magicians who were still fighting with a gentle and kind expression:

"You two, can you please restrain yourself and stop using such troublesome magic randomly? You have also seen that it bothers me and others.

However, Rider's words were ignored. The two old enemies who were on top may not realize where they were, but were immersed in fighting each other.

"I must deal with you, Tokiomi!"

"You're just a third-rate magician, stop joking!"

The flames and water flow intertwined, the magic hand and the cane collided, and the fight between Kariya and Tokiomi became more and more fierce. Even the battle between the kings composed of illusions became shaky due to the turbulent flow of magic power, and the stars in the real world could be faintly seen.

"..."

Rider was silent. This was not because of embarrassment. Only the few people who had just been drinking and talking with him would notice that something had completely changed.

A whirlwind blew, a hot, dry, scalding whirlwind.

It is absolutely impossible to blow this kind of wind in the forest at night, and in the atrium surrounded by city walls - this kind of wind that seems to sweep through the scorched desert and roar in your ears.

Weber felt the slightly stinging gravel on his tongue and quickly spit several times.

The saliva is mixed with sand and dust, and the strange wind brings hot sand that cannot exist here.

"Masters of Archer, Saber, and Caster, this is the last question for this banquet - is the king aloof?"

Standing in the center of the swirling hot wind, Rider asked.

The bright red cloak fluttered on his shoulders, and before he knew it, his outfit had transformed into a fighting posture.

Archer twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a sneer, his attitude self-evident.

Saber also did not hesitate. If she believed in her own right to the throne, the years she spent as a king would be her truest answer.

"The king... is naturally aloof."

And Shuo Yue responded with the same smile: "If you talk about the king's way, I will be above anyone else - naturally it's cold at high places."

Rider laughed heartily after hearing the three people's answers. The swirling hot wind seemed to be echoing his laughter, becoming more violent.

"No! You really don't understand anything! Today, I will let you see what the true kingly style is!"

The abnormal hot wind finally began to subvert and erode reality.

In this impossible vision, distance and location lose their meaning, gradually transforming into a place where a dry wind carrying hot sand should blow.

The phantom between kings dissipated, replaced by a new phantom, a new reality.

"How...how is it possible...!"

The shocked voices came from people like Waver and Irisviel who understood what magic was.

"This is - inherent barrier!?"

The hot sun scorches the earth. The view is vast, all the way to the horizon covered by violent sand and dust, to the cloudless sky.

The scene that instantly transformed from the city of Einzbern at night was obviously a phantom that eroded reality, and it was exactly that extreme magic that was considered a miracle.

"How could such a thing be possible...to actually materialize the world of mental images...You are obviously not a magician."

"Of course not, I can't do this alone."

Standing proudly in the vast barrier, Iskandar's face was filled with a proud smile, denying Weber's doubts.

"This is the land where my armies have galloped in the past. It is a scene that is deeply engraved in the hearts of the brave men who shared weal and woe with me."

As the world changes, even the relative positions of the people involved change.

Except for Rider and Waver standing side by side, Matou Kariya and Berserker who stopped fighting, Saber and Sakutsuki who were drinking at the same table before, were all sent to the other side of the wilderness.

In other words, Rider's group was facing everyone except them.

At the same time, another group of people disappeared.

"Hero King, Gilgamesh..." Waver frowned and looked around, "He and his master are not here."

"At the last moment, I saw him take something out of the treasury. I guess he used some mysterious treasure to stop my "inherent barrier." Rider smiled unchanged, "But it's okay, I will leave my duel with the king to the next time."

Around him, shadows like mirages emerged one after another.

In the courtyard

"Bang!" The blow that was supposed to hit the enemy missed, and the ruby ​​cane hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Tōsaka Tokiomi raised his head with red eyes, and then he noticed that there was no one around him.

As Rider opened the inherent barrier, the illusion that was already overwhelmed was completely shattered, the king's space disappeared, and the starlight and moonlight of the present world fell together, shining on the handsome Archer and the bruised, panting man.

As his sanity recovered, Tohsaka Tokiomi noticed Gilgamesh who was admiring his ugly appearance not far away.

"... King."

Archer glanced at him, and his snake eyes showed an unpleasant satisfaction.

"You abandoned that insignificant elegance, but in the end you can still please me, Tokiomi."

"I dare not." Tohsaka Tokiomi lowered his head and let the humiliation sweep through his heart.

He had sacrificed his precious doll but failed to solve Matou Kariya, and now he was insulted by his own Servant - facing such a blow, even Tohsaka Tokiomi was surprised that he could endure it.

Gilgamesh, who had always been looking down on him, saw this and curled his lips in disappointment and took a step forward.

"I'm tired of it. Go back to your kennel and lick your wounds."

"...Yes."

Walking out of the deserted Einzbern Castle, the Hero King looked back with a sense of something, caught a glimpse of a figure standing on the top of the castle, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So, what choice will you make? What kind of pleasure will it bring to the king?"

"Sinner."

There are not many people in the book friends group QAQ...Did I create it too late? Come on, brothers, have fun!
