Chapter 626

【"Is that so?"】

Saber relaxed, a faint smile curling her lips: "Lancer's Master is quite the capable mage even by the standards of my era, Yano. You shouldn't be careless."

Yano walked ahead with her hands behind her back: "Well, Yano-chan does hold the title of 'Magus Killer,' after all."

The negative emotions brought about by the eighth Servant were swept away, and Saber, known as the King of Knights, gazed intently into the city.

"Peerless hero of Ireland, do not disappoint me."

Up ahead.

Yano wore a faint smile.

The same thing, said in a different way, yields vastly different results.

If she had said directly: "Saber, go intercept Lancer, I'll go assassinate Lancer's Master, let's wipe out their pair."

Saber certainly wouldn't have agreed.

But if she said, "Let's see who is stronger, Master or Servant," Saber would be impatient to start.

It's just that...

Yano looked at the several ley line nodes in the city through her magical vision.

Now that Saber's Noble Phantasm, which shines in the starry sky, has been exposed, will other Masters who feel threatened prioritize eliminating their pair?

……….

"Holy crap, that's true..."

A warrior from another world who had just learned the international universal interjection was startled: "Once Saber's Noble Phantasm erupts, I'm afraid our gods would die one by one, wiped out in groups."

"If we get hit by Saber's first strike, no matter how strong we are, we're done for."

After all, that great existence known as a Heroic Spirit clearly favors attack over defense.

A guy from Earth was also dead serious: "If Saber throws away her honor and opens with her ultimate, except for those like Abby or Gilgamesh who have defensive Noble Phantasms, and Hassan who can't be found at all, other Servants will find it hard to hold out."

"Don't say it, just thinking about it reminds me of the scene where Black Saber raised her hand and fired a light cannon, nearly one-shotting Yukinoshita."

"Hiss~ who can withstand a surprise attack like that?"

"Bullshit, Saber clearly possesses knightly spirit; she just wants to save Camelot, she hasn't been corrupted."

A domineering voice claiming to be a Demon King sneered: "The problem is, do the other Servants believe that?"

A group of people fell silent.

This is basically the Holy Grail War version of the Dark Forest.

"You react quickly, little brother, what should I call you? Are you really a Demon King from another world? Interested in coming to another world to be a hero and crusade against your peers? Please, also, it would be even better if you could self-study some magic."

A female voice claiming to be a goddess, named Aqua, sent a series of voice messages.

"Hmph, Demon King Satan, you can also call me by the name I just took: Sadao Maou!"

He threw out these words coldly and coolly, leaving behind a chorus of gasps.

The Demon King returned to reality.

"Table seven, one chicken leg burger, one iced cola, and one order of Orleans grilled wings."

The part-time Demon King student immediately began preparing them nimbly, with a proficiency that made one's heart ache.

No choice.

Even a Demon King has to eat, right?

After being defeated by the hero Emilia, he opened a space-time gate and fled to this other world.

Who knew that people in this world were so fierce, possessing a magical power called 'magic,' where even a small child could pin down and beat him now that he had lost his power.

Rent is expensive, he has no qualifications, so he can only work part-time to maintain his life.

Fortunately, there is the Sky Screen...

The former Demon King Satan, now the newly minted McDonald's laborer Sadao Maou, gazed intently at the Sky Screen.

Magic, he could learn it too.

Back in the chat room, that "Aqua" who claimed to be a goddess had changed targets and was throwing a tantrum, demanding that a veteran named "Madara" go be a hero.

Madara's voice was as cold as iron: "Resurrection? I, Uchiha Madara, never need to rely on others."

"Go, go, go, please, ahhh, please."

A certain idiot goddess keenly sensed that this domineering voice was very reliable, far more so than the one who claimed to be a Demon King earlier.

"Hmph, if one truly has the resolve to save their own world, they shouldn't pin their hopes on others. They have an opportunity like the Sky Screen, yet they still lack the resolve to create the future with their own hands. Hmph, a pile of mud."

Having reached his conclusion, Madara ignored the fake goddess who was wailing and crying, and instead looked at the Sky Screen.

Saber refused the scabbard of the holy sword that Yano had taken from her body.

Because the young girl, as a mortal, needed this protection more, especially since there was still an Abigail obsessed with killing her Servant.

This also made some new fans of the King tighten their hearts.

Surely, this King won't be eliminated because of this.

………

Sky Screen.

Amidst deep music, the camera under the night sky rose and became distant, then slowly sank into a luxurious hotel building.

【"The program schedule has been temporarily changed; we are interrupting with an emergency news report."】

【On the TV screen.】

【The host, with a solemn expression, said seriously: "In the Fuyuki Bay area and offshore, a violent explosion of unknown cause has occurred in the cross-sea natural gas pipeline."】

【"... Fortunately, it was mainly in the suburbs and offshore, with no casualties for the time being. Citizens are advised not to go out after nightfall if possible."】

【"In addition, the light show hosted by the famous enterprise Shijo Corporation concluded successfully at 8:13 PM. Subsequent arrangements have not yet been announced; please stay tuned."】

【Inside the luxury suite.】

【"Is it really such a ridiculous excuse?"】

【The Zhong Ta Lord named Yusaku Kudo chuckled.】

【"With such unscrupulous majesty, the Master of Archer, as the administrator of Fuyuki, must also have a headache..."】

【The brilliant fluorescent light gathered, and Diarmuid, who appeared in this Holy Grail War as the Lancer class, stepped out and praised.】

【"Truly powerful, Saber!"】

【"More than a thousand years ago, was it with this holy sword that she killed the Dragon God, stepping on the corpses of gods to walk toward the throne of the King?"】

【"It really makes one... look forward to it~~"】

【Even though he was constantly praising the opponent's strength and brilliance, the demigod did not show the slightest fear; instead, his body was trembling slightly."】

【Yusaku Kudo elegantly picked up his coffee and took a sip: "Are you excited, Lancer?"】

【Before Diarmuid could speak, he sighed: "However, Lancer, haven't you read the relevant materials? Legend has it that the Noble Phantasm King Arthur used to kill the Dragon God was not that holy sword, but the pillar of brilliance used to fix the 'reality and fantasy' of the two sides of the world in a distant era—Rhongomyniad."】

【Academic failure Diarmuid: "()~~~"】

【Yusaku Kudo, as if he were a lecturer, continued: "Contrary to you, if Saber were to descend as a Lancer, she would likely be far stronger than she is now, and even more troublesome than strong enemies like Caster and Archer. By comparison, Saber of the Sword class, while equally powerful, is not invincible."】

【In the definition of the mystery Reverse Reverse Side.】

【King Arthur possesses extremely strong divinity, and is even a god most of the time.】

【Unlike her holding the holy sword as the King of Knights, she would descend as the more divine King of Storms when holding the spear of the end.】

【In the Zhong Ta's records, that is an existence capable of formatting the entire world upon releasing its Noble Phantasm, which even Diarmuid of the Sword class could hardly match.】

【Of course, it would be easily restrained by the King of Kings' Noble Phantasm, Enkidu.】

【But they don't have Enkidu.】

【"The spear of the farthest reach that shines by singing the light of the stars?"】

【Diarmuid held his long spear, his expression excited.】

【Yusaku Kudo: "......"】

【Is that the point?】

【"Forget it."】

【Yusaku Kudo held his forehead and smiled at the demigod: "After facing such majesty, do you still have confidence? Capture Saber's head for me."】

【Hearing this, Diarmuid's expression became solemn. He knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said firmly: "My Lord, I swear by the honor of a knight, even if I have to risk my life, I will surely offer you Saber's head."】

【"Life?"】

【Yusaku Kudo frowned: "What you should offer me is the final victory, the Holy Grail. Does killing a Saber now require you to risk your life? With your martial arts, if you use that in close combat, Saber has no possibility of victory."】

【Diarmuid fell silent.】

【Yusaku Kudo interrupted him: "You aren't trying to tell me you want to launch a Noble Phantasm duel with Saber, are you?"】

【Diarmuid's lips trembled: "My Lord... that's not entirely it."】
