"Varied..."
He looked at Artoria with some surprise.
"Avalon will help me protect myself from all harm, including your curse!"
Saber smiled. Since Irisviel no longer needed the sword, Kiritsugu Emiya simply returned the scabbard to its rightful owner.
With her sword sheathed, Saber was able to unleash her true power.
As the most troublesome class, Saber is very powerful, especially after learning Diarmuid's true name. Saber became extremely cautious in battle, and Diarmuid's two spears no longer posed a threat to Saber.
If he had also descended as Saber, he might have been able to put up a fight, but unfortunately, as a lancer, he can only fight with two spears.
Wan Di did not continue watching the battle, because the others had also arrived at this time.
As if by some unspoken agreement, a deafening roar echoed through the sky as Iskandar descended with Waver.
A golden figure was also visible above the streetlight.
"You scoundrel, why are you releasing your aura so recklessly? What are you trying to do to lure us here?"
A hint of displeasure flickered across his face as he spoke softly.
"The Holy Grail War should end. Some people who should have left should naturally return to the Throne of Heroes. It's a very simple logic, isn't it?"
"So, you want to take on both of us by yourself?"
Gilgamesh was both amused and annoyed. Did Wan Di not take him seriously?
"No no no."
Wan Di hurriedly waved his hand and looked at Gilgamesh: "What I want to say is that I can fight all of you by myself. If Saber hadn't become an ally, I would have fought all four of you by myself."
At this moment, Wan Di is somewhat similar to Master Ye, who once shouted that he would fight ten of them.
"You bastard! You're too arrogant! I was originally planning to give you a dignified death, but now... you might as well die sooner!"
Gilgamesh glared angrily at Wan Di, and in the next moment, countless Noble Phantasms were poised to be unleashed.
But just then, a figure blocked Gilgamesh's path.
"My King of Heroes, I know you are angry, but please wait a little longer. My soldiers are already getting excited!"
Iskandar looked at the enemy before him with an excited smile. He wanted to know whether his army or the enemy's army was stronger when facing the enemy's unstoppable whirlwind of troops.
For a commander, defeating the enemy on the main battlefield is also a very glorious thing.
ps
The next volume is White Calamity Godslayer, I need to catch up on the plot these next couple of days... I've almost forgotten everything!
Today I went to a ping-pong tournament with my buddy, and we both achieved our legendary feat of never winning. If it weren't for our friendship, we really couldn't even beat elementary school kids. How come kids these days are so good at ping-pong? The drive took longer than the match itself...
Wan Di (fatezreo): 15: Look, this earth-shattering blow!
"In the name of the Command Seals, in the name of the Command Seals, in the name of the Command Seals! Rider, victory be yours!"
An endless magical gale swept across the surrounding world, and then, what appeared before everyone was the magnificent and majestic scene of yellow sand filling the sky outside the city of Suspended Edge.
In the clash of their inherent boundaries, Iskandar and Wan'e fought to a draw.
Waver understood that the enemy before him was a powerful being that could not be underestimated, and might even be the strongest being in this Holy Grail War, after all, he was a genuine god.
Moreover, even now, Waver is not sure if Wandui has used its full power. He can no longer consider how Iskandar would fight Gilgamesh after defeating Wandui. After all, if he doesn't overcome Wandui here, how can he talk about the future?
Therefore, at this moment, Waver used three Command Seals in succession. With the blessing of the Command Seals, Iskandar's magical power was also incredibly surging. Just standing next to him, one could feel the immense pressure emanating from him.
"Well done, lad. But even without that, I would still win. My soldiers are no less than anyone else!"
Iskandar said this, then burst into laughter.
"Of course, that includes you, Weber."
......
Wan Di was somewhat moved by the touching story of the so-called king and queen on the other side, but he did not show it.
"Wow, what a touching scene, Medmus. I don't think you ever said anything so cheesy to us back then..."
Ptolemy, watching this scene, couldn't help but make a joke.
Although they are merely manifestations of magic, their personalities are no different from those of the old friends in Wan Di's heart.
"It would be strange if someone could say these things so easily, wouldn't it?"
Imagine you're having dinner with your best buddy and you suddenly say, "You're such a good brother, we should be friends in the next life." Your best buddy won't appreciate it. In fact, he might even think you're crazy.
However, Iskandar did not keep Wan Di waiting for long. A moment later, he rode his warhorse toward Wan Di.
Looking at Wan Di and the whirlwind army behind him, he couldn't help but grin and reveal a hearty smile.
"Soldiers! This time we face an enemy of unparalleled power, but I believe that we will be the ultimate victors! Follow me into battle!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Iskandar didn't utter a single unnecessary word. Facing the imposing army behind Wan Di, Iskandar had long been thirsting for victory.
Therefore, he immediately drew his sword and charged towards Wan Di.
"A king from another city-state wants to challenge our Suspended Edge City? Then let's give them a good beating!"
Without further ado, Wan Di watched as Iskandar and his army charged forward amidst billowing smoke. With a wave of his hand, Wan Di led his troops straight ahead.
Amidst the swirling yellow sand and the shouts of battle, two absolutely elite forces met!
In an instant, the two currents collided, and blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by the incessant sound of metal clashing.
The sounds of charging and fighting echoed throughout the battlefield, like a meat grinder.
The soldiers had just defeated the enemy in front of them when they were finished off by their comrades behind the enemy.
However, the two forces were not chaotic; instead, they fought in coordinated formations. Iskandar's cavalry caused great trouble for the Whirlwind Lone Army, but soon an elite force went to intercept them.
The Whirlwind Lone Army also encountered a similar situation.
"What excellent warriors! It's a pity. If I had encountered such enemies in my lifetime, I would have felt a great sense of accomplishment if I had defeated you."
Wielding his longsword, Iskandar's power surged under the blessing of the Command Seals, and for a time, he was able to fight Wan'e to a standstill.
However, if you look closely, you'll find that Iskandar can only suppress Wan Di with this momentum. Wan Di seems to be very passive, but he is not at all flustered. It's as if every step the enemy takes is in accordance with his careful plan.
"That must disappoint you. Although the Reality Marble has recreated them, it can never truly reproduce their power. And you, Iskandar, your soldiers were just ordinary people in life, weren't they? So, enjoy this moment. After all, not everyone is qualified to fight against the Lone Army of the Vanguard."
Wan Di grinned, showing no sign of haste, and continued fighting Iskandar.
He wasn't in a hurry to end the fight.
What he wanted was to end the battle with Iskandar only after the battle between the warriors on both sides was over.
After all, even with the Command Seals, it wouldn't be easy for Iskandar to overcome Wan'e. With Wan'e's strength, he could easily have taken down Iskandar before the warriors finished their battle.
The battle inside the barrier was raging, and the battle outside was equally intense.
In the dimly lit street, sparks flew and the clanging of metal filled the night.
The battle between Diarmuid and Artoria has been going on for some time.
After acquiring Avalon, Artoria's combat power was fully unleashed, while Diarmuid was at a significant disadvantage.
As a Lancer, he wasn't summoned with any particularly powerful Noble Phantasms; all he had were the two skills he acquired.
Furthermore, due to the existence of Avalon, the other effects of these two Noble Phantasms were rendered ineffective, and they could only be used as weapons by Diarmuid.
However, Diarmuid's martial arts skills were not to be underestimated. Even with Artoria's huge advantage, Diarmuid's defense was watertight and without any flaws.
Seeing that he couldn't break through the stalemate, Kenneth decided to take the initiative to do so.
However, Kiritsugu Emiya was as slippery as an eel and had no intention of fighting Kenneth.
"A mouse that only likes to run away."
Even with the Moon Essence Elixir, Kenneth wouldn't be able to capture Emiya Kiritsugu anytime soon.
In fact, Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been avoiding battle, was also somewhat displeased. He already knew about the opponent's magic, and if it weren't for the fact that Wan'e had said he would spare Kenneth's life, Kiritsugu Emiya would have already given the opponent an Origin Bullet.
After all, for a normal magician, the Origin Bullet is extremely poisonous; contact with it is fatal, and there is virtually no possibility of defense.
However, the next moment, Kiritsugu Emiya stopped in his tracks.
"Stop, Kenneth."
"Stop? Finally can't run anymore? So you're stopping now to beg for mercy?"
Kenneth snorted and said.
"No, the battle on the other side has ended."
Kiritsugu Emiya said calmly.
"what?"
Kenneth turned around in surprise, and then saw two figures crossing paths. Artoria's shoulder was pierced by a spear, but similarly, Diarmuid's chest was also pierced by Artoria's longsword, and judging from the position of the longsword, it was right at Diarmuid's heart.
"You've won, Saber. In the end, I was one step behind."
The raging magic completely extinguished Diarmuid's life force, leaving him utterly incapable of fighting.
"No, if I hadn't retrieved the scabbard, the outcome would have been uncertain. You are a powerful warrior, Lancer, and I am honored to have fought you."
"However, I am truly sorry... my lord, I could not bring you victory..."
With a hint of regret, Diarmuid looked at Kenneth beside him, and then his body turned into specks of light and gradually dissipated.
Kenneth, having lost his Servant, let out a disgruntled snort. Without a Servant, this Holy Grail War was no longer his for the taking.
However, Kenneth was still annoyed that his car had overturned in such a rural area.
Of course, no matter how unpleasant it is, it's still much better than losing your life like in the original story.
Kenneth was sensible; after realizing that he couldn't defeat Saber alone, he accepted his fate.
"Don't worry, I won't attack you. Now, just wait quietly for the Holy Grail War to end."
