Chapter 224

"Moo!"

The Gordius Wheel sped out, heading straight for Darius III atop the head of the Death Elephant.

For the Via Expugnatio, the enlarged Death Elephant was actually easier to deal with.

Because the larger Death Elephant's movements had become more exaggerated, it was easier to dodge.

After a few maneuvers, Iskandar landed on the back of the Death Elephant.

"Is-kan-dar!"

Darius III swung the golden double-headed axes in his hands, roaring as he charged at Iskandar.

"Come, King of Persia!"

Iskandar also drew his "Via Expugnatio," charging toward his opponent.

The two engaged in a one-on-one melee.

The Via Expugnatio continued to pull the chariot to distract the Death Elephant, preventing it from interfering with the duel.

This battle showcased the warfare of the ancient world to everyone present.

Facing the seemingly invincible Death Elephant, Iskandar's army charged forward wave after wave, simply because their King was fighting on the front lines.

The chariot was smashed, but the Via Expugnatio did not retreat, colliding with the Death Elephant just to buy time for their master.

Everyone watched the battle in silence, no one speaking.

"Splat!"

Finally, the battle reached its conclusion.

"Hah... King of Persia, I have won again this time."

On the back of the Death Elephant, Iskandar was covered in blood, grinning broadly.

At this moment, his body was covered in wounds of all sizes, and his left arm had been severed.

Of course, Darius III was in no better shape; one of the horns on his head had been sliced off.

Although Darius III had the advantage of dual-wielding, one must not forget his Class: Berserker.

To deal with a ferocious Berserker like him, the best method was to win through strategy.

Iskandar had used a feint, sacrificing an arm to successfully strike his opponent.

Though it was only one strike, it successfully destroyed the opponent's Saint Graph, securing victory in one blow.

"Is-kan-dar..."

Darius III stared fixedly at Iskandar, reaching out as if to grab him, but time ran out; he and the Death Elephant beneath him dissolved into golden light.

The heavily wounded Iskandar fell from mid-air, quickly caught by the Via Expugnatio and brought back to the ground.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The moment Iskandar returned to the ground, the soldiers surrounded him and cheered.

"That's right, we have won!"

Iskandar joined in the cheering, completely indifferent to his own injuries.

"To think the Conqueror King won in the end."

Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed with emotion as he watched the scene.

Darius III could have relied on his Undying Army to wear Iskandar down, but he chose to settle it one-on-one in the end.

Perhaps for Darius III, if Iskandar didn't die by his own hand, nothing else mattered.

"Rider, you..."

The battle was over, and Waver rushed over, staring at Iskandar's tragic state, unsure of what to say.

"Hahaha, why that look?"

Iskandar patted Waver on the shoulder with his blood-soaked hand and laughed, "We are the victors, after all. Cheer up."

"You guy..."

Waver was speechless, looking at the bloody handprint on his clothes.

"Conqueror King, since you have already won, why have you not dispelled the Reality Marble?"

Qin Shi Huang walked over and spoke.

"Hahaha, as expected of the First Emperor, you have already understood my intent."

Iskandar raised his sword and said, "Now, it is time for us to decide the victor."

"You, Ying Zheng, are you willing to accept my challenge?"

Qin Shi Huang remained calm, showing no surprise; he had clearly guessed Iskandar's plan long ago.

"What are you saying!"

Waver panicked, hurriedly saying, "You're in this state, and you still want to continue?"

Iskandar: "My path of conquest will not stop here."

Qin Shi Huang: "Very well, Conqueror King Iskandar. Your fearlessness has moved Me. I accept."

Immediately, he tossed a healing potion to Iskandar.

It was something he had obtained from a treasure chest earlier; he had no use for it, so he did a favor.

"You would heal an enemy? Are you that confident?"

Despite saying this, Iskandar drank the potion in one gulp.

Instantly, his wounds began to squirm, and within seconds, they were fully restored.

Waver, standing to the side, quickly retrieved Iskandar's severed arm and reattached it.

He knew the potion didn't have the power to regrow limbs.

Under the potion's effect, Iskandar's arm healed rapidly.

In less than a few seconds, Iskandar was back to normal, with only the bloodstains remaining as proof of his previous injuries.

"Come! First Emperor!"

Iskandar summoned Bucephalus, mounted his horse, and shouted toward Qin Shi Huang.

The Gordius Wheel had been destroyed, so he had to face his enemy on horseback.

Qin Shi Huang: "Conqueror King, you have shown Me the strength of Western armies. Today, I invite you to appraise the armaments of My Great Qin."

As Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, imposing city walls rose up around him.

These walls were magnificent and stretched endlessly; once they appeared, everyone could not see where they ended.

"The Wanlichangcheng!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi and the others instantly recognized the structure.

It was the world-famous Wanlichangcheng of China.

As expected of the First Emperor, to use the Wanlichangcheng as a Noble Phantasm.

"The Wanlichangcheng Never Falls!"

As the Noble Phantasm activated, soldiers clad in Qin armor appeared atop the walls.

These were the very guards of the Great Qin who defended the wall.

"Conqueror King, if you are able, break through this first line of defense of the Great Qin!"

Qin Shi Huang stood on the beacon tower and shouted to Iskandar.

"The Wanlichangcheng, eh? This is getting interesting."

Iskandar laughed, "But don't think a mere wall can stop my advance!"
