Chapter 657

"Heh, this isn't even Brother Luo Shu's true form; he's just descending by borrowing the Marshal's spirit foundation. If they saw his true form from Chaldea, they'd probably have a mental breakdown."

"True, but as for the two sides in this Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh might not necessarily lose."

Someone tremblingly lit a cigarette, their voice shaking: "I said it before, Gilgamesh even once brought out the Noble Phantasm 【Gungnir】, held by Odin, King of the Norse gods."

"Cu Chulainn's magic spear Gáe Bolg, the lethal magic sword Dainsleif once held by the knights under Brother Luo Shu's command, and the Norse divine sword Gram—he has those by the handful."

"If he met anyone else, it would be one thing, but Gilgamesh is just that arrogant."

"But meeting the only other opponent he acknowledges, Brother Luo Shu, he'll likely offer his greatest respect and fight with everything he has."

An old-timer spoke with biting sarcasm: "Stop blowing smoke, stop it. How long have you 'serious Gilgamesh fans' been at it? In how many timelines has he been beaten to a pulp, his elbows hacked into mincemeat?"

"I'm not saying Brother Luo Shu is weaker than Gilgamesh, but isn't he using the Marshal's spirit foundation this time? The parameters are disastrous."

"Besides, as a God Slayer, Brother Luo Shu's divinity is at least A+ or even an EX rank that exceeds measurement; he's hard-countered by the Chains of Heaven."

"Anyway, in this Holy Grail War, it's really hard to say who will win between Brother Luo Shu and Gilgamesh."

"Bullshit! Do you think Brother Luo Shu's divine-realm martial arts are a joke? Is a Gilgamesh who got his elbow broken in close combat by a mere Yukinoshita even qualified to compare?"

Instantly.

The two sides started cursing, the battle raging across the sky, leaving the opponent's family tree in ruins, blotting out the sun and moon.

They fully demonstrated the charm of Earth's languages before their friends from other worlds.

Watching this chaotic war, an old-timer who hadn't joined in sighed: "I don't know who lives or dies between Brother Luo Shu and Gilgamesh, but with Brother Luo Shu's penchant for stirring up trouble, if Yotsumiya Gaan lives past tomorrow, I'll lose."

"Stop jinxing it, stop it. Yotsumiya Gaan is already past the point of being torn apart by five horses; he's about to be ground into dust."

"Yotsumiya Gaan: 'Huh? Why is that Grim Reaper with the scythe following me with a lunchbox? How strange.'"

The Earth veterans were filled with emotion, chatting heatedly.

The shaken people from other worlds didn't dare to open their mouths.

My god.

They were scared to death just a moment ago, weren't they?

At that moment, they truly saw their great-grandmothers in heaven waving at them, and then, their expressions changing drastically, they turned and fled for their lives.

As if their own great-grandchildren were some kind of filthy thing.

Fortunately, that big shot was clearly just giving a warning.

World of Monsters and Heroes.

H Prison.

Sonic's body went limp, and he sat on the ground, gasping violently, cold sweat drenching him as he finally felt a chill.

A sense of relief at having survived a disaster made him feel so happy right now.

Damn, the world outside is too dangerous.

Sky Curtain.

【"What are you doing, Lan!"】

【Near the restroom at the street corner not far from the alley.】

【The shimmering pale silver light gathered, and the young man walked out from it, looking at the purple-haired man who was leaning against the wall with his ears pricked up to eavesdrop, his heart filled with pain.】

【"Have you finally exposed your lecherous nature and started eavesdropping on strange women peeing?"】

【The voice of a certain man, who had already become a devil in the purple-haired man's heart, rang out. He shuddered all over, looked at the screaming middle-aged women around him, his old face flushed red, and he hurriedly said: "No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, Master, I was eavesdropping on you..."】

【Thinking of something, his expression panicked, and he hurriedly said: "Was what Archer said about the King dying true?"】

【The young man looked blank, then frowned: "Did he say that?"】

【Seeing Lancelot sweating profusely with anxiety, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it seems that happened. Saber's Master attacked Lancer's Master. Tsk, such a perfectly good building blown to the sky."】

【The King and Lancer, huh?】

【Lancer is strong, but still a bit lacking compared to the King.】

【Lancelot breathed a sigh of relief: "Then is Saber okay... Uh, I mean, such a worthy opponent should be finished by my own hands, to offer victory to Master."】

【Do you believe that yourself?】

【The young man squinted at him, then turned to look pained: "Little Lan, you've changed. You've become slippery."】

【He sighed with emotion, where did that honest kid go?】

【Lancelot's expression remained unchanged: "So Master, Saber, she..."】

【"Oh, she got her hand cut off."】

【The young man said casually.】

【Lancelot nodded, then his voice changed pitch. A noble, shining holy sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he stood there, sword in hand, filled with murderous intent.】

【"Master, who did it? How dare they... how dare they hurt my..."】

【"She did it herself."】

【"? ——?"】

【The young man squinted at the knight who was stunned and unable to process the information, and said slowly: "Little Lan, have I been too indulgent with you? This is the Holy Grail War. There is only one winner. Saber and I will eventually cross swords, and you will ultimately have to choose a side."】

【Lancelot's momentum stalled, and his throat moved.】

【Before those eyes that carried a trace of indifference, he finally felt the suffocation and pressure of truly facing them.】

【That majesty, and the pressure that seemed to come from his very essence, made him, a knight who crowned an era, feel unable to breathe.】

【But more than that, it was guilt and pain.】

【Indeed, no matter what happened in the past, since he responded to the Holy Grail as a Servant and came to this era, the person before him was his liege.】

【As a subject, his lingering attachment to the past was in itself a dereliction of duty.】

【Not to mention that Saber was essentially their enemy.】

【It was because Master and Saber's Master formed an alliance that he became too happy and too relaxed.】

【Finally...】

【"Forget it."】

【The young man walked toward the street with his hands in his pockets: "Well, at worst, I'll let you deal with that Golden Gilgamesh..."】

【"Master..."】

【Lancelot, struggling in pain, was stunned, his face moved.】

【Although Master usually seemed unreliable, liked to find fun in his pain, poked at his scars, tore open his pretenses, and doubled his melancholic temperament...】

【But!】

【Overall, Master is still a very gentle person...】

【He could even empathize with and understand a despicable coward like him.】

【"Master!"】

【Lancelot followed him, moved: "To be able to meet such a Master, it is truly my fortune for three lifetimes..."】

【"As for Saber, leave her to me to kill. Uh, although her chest is small, she's still a top-tier beauty. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to kill her?"】

【"Come to think of it, giving the Holy Grail to Saber to let Camelot continue wouldn't be bad. If..."】

【The young man walked while deep in thought, then suddenly turned back: "Little Lan, what do you think about me becoming the Wang Hou of your King?"】

【"Uh, that's not right either. Mai would go on a rampage."】

【He tapped his fist, suddenly enlightened: "Can't I just become the King of Camelot? I can marry as many as I want. At worst, Saber can be the Wang Hou, and the others can be concubines. Perfect! As expected of me."】

【Lancelot's smile froze on his face.】

【He took back his words, and Master, the King couldn't possibly...】

【Suddenly, his expression turned to terror.】

【With the King's personality, if it could save Camelot, it really might...】

【!!! Σ(? Д?)?"】

【Imagining the Wang Hou of Camelot becoming the man before him who feared nothing but chaos and had 'I want to see blood flow like a river' written all over his face, he felt a terror that made his scalp explode.】

【He stood up tall, his face full of determination and resolve: "Master, I will definitely fight Saber with all my might."】

【"Forget it, Saber has a broken arm, and you'd be winning unfairly. This time, I'll let you act according to your own ideas."】

【The young man curled his lips and sighed: "But next time, if we meet again, you must become my sword and help me catch someone and send them to my basement. No problem, right?"】

【"Master..."】

【Hearing these beautiful words, Lancelot felt as if he were in a dream, truly moved.】

【Sure enough, Master is a very gentle person; that nasty personality is just a facade.】

【Luo Shu sighed: "So, do you agree?"】 ===== CHAPTER 658 =====
