Webber Velvet, who was standing nearby, shared the same thought.

"Well, things are already like this, Archer, you don't need to say anything more. Now all we need to do is focus on this Holy Grail War."

Rider ended the conversation at that moment, not wanting strange things to delay his conquest.

"Hmph, you act like you can figure it all out yourself, Rider." Archer mocked Iskandar with the look of someone who looked down on an ignorant person.

"Huh? Since you know so much, why not take this opportunity to say it? Within my inherent barrier, the outside world cannot see it," Iskandar replied sarcastically.

"Heh, if you want to know something from me, you'll have to pay a price. If you're willing to commit suicide, I might as well tell you."

Archer smiled dismissively, his eyes filled with mockery and arrogance.

Saber was completely bewildered. She had no information, and the Round Table think tank wasn't around. Her mind was starting to malfunction.

She thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with anything, so she decided to stop thinking about it.

Anyway, if anyone gets in her way of obtaining the Holy Grail, she can just use her Noble Phantasm to cut them down. If they don't die? Then she can just use it again.

The atmosphere froze. Although Matou Ike also wanted to understand what was going on, Gilgamesh didn't seem to be planning to say anything at this moment.

Although the atmosphere had nothing to do with Matou Ike, he knew he might get involved with Waver Velvet in the future, so he took the initiative to break the deadlock.

"And you? Rider's Master, Waver Velvet, what is your wish?"

"Huh? Me? My wish is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Archer seemed to sense something and suddenly shouted:

"Damn it, Rider, is this your scheme? Very well, you've actually tried to outmaneuver me."

Chapter 91 On the verge of breaking out

Gilgamesh was focused on thinking about Matou Ike, but suddenly he felt that his contractual relationship with Tokiomi Tohsaka had been severed.

This means a cruel truth—Tokiomi Tohsaka is dead.

No further information was needed about what had happened in the outside world; Gilgamesh could understand the cause and effect of everything simply by the breaking of this contract.

Not long after he was pulled into Iskandar's Noble Phantasm barrier, Tokiomi Tohsaka was brutally assassinated.

Tokiomi didn't even have enough time to use a Command Spell to summon Gilgamesh back to his aid, which was undoubtedly a meticulously planned assassination.

Gilgamesh's gaze grew even colder, a dangerous glint flashing in his golden eyes.

"Is this your plan? To isolate me from Tokiomi Tohsaka, and then use that opportunity to murder my retainer? Well done!!"

"What are you talking about, King of Heroes?"

Iskandar was initially confused by Gilgamesh's sudden outburst of rage, not fully understanding the source of his anger.

What does it mean that the conqueror king used a scheme to kill Gilgamesh's subjects?

While the Conqueror King did use his Noble Phantasm "Army of the King" to isolate Gilgamesh, it was only to give Lancer a better space for revenge.

As for Gilgamesh's subjects, he had no idea where that person was. He might have seen him before, but he simply ignored him.

Matou Ike quickly made a judgment and analyzed the current situation.

He knew very well that only a handful of people could pose a fatal threat to Tokiomi Tohsaka in a short period of time.

Caster never even came to this battlefield. Even if he sensed Matou Ike's presence disappearing in the mortal world, it would still take him some time to get there.

It will take time for them to get here to provide support; it's impossible for them to do so so quickly.

Lancer and Assassin are locked in a fierce battle, and they likely don't have time to bother Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Therefore, the most likely suspects are Kiritsugu Emiya and Kirei Kotomine.

While Kirei Kotomine is a possibility, he and Tokiomi Tohsaka are allies, so the probability of him intervening is low. Moreover, this Holy Grail War has only been going on for two days. Even if he were to betray us, it wouldn't happen so quickly.

Therefore, the only reasonable explanation is that Kiritsugu Emiya found a perfect opportunity to eliminate Tokiomi Tohsaka.

While thinking to herself, Matou Ike looked at Saber and found that she was still completely bewildered, as if she had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

“Gilgamesh, my Noble Phantasm is not something I casually put away,” Iskandar replied calmly, his tone filled with determination and authority.

"Moreover, I feel that our duel is not over yet."

A flash of anger crossed Gilgamesh's eyes. He raised his hand slightly, and the door to the Golden Treasury slowly opened, revealing a corner of a Noble Phantasm that gleamed with a cold light, as if it would be poured out on Iskandar in the next moment.

“You are testing my patience, Conqueror,” Gilgamesh said coldly.

"I wouldn't mind ending your reign at this moment."

The tension in the air suddenly escalated, and the surrounding Heroic Spirits and Masters all felt the suffocating pressure.

“Then let’s give it a try, King of Heroes,” Iskandar responded loudly, his voice filled with undisguised provocation.

His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, bracing himself for the impending conflict.

The army behind him marched forward in unison, their powerful strides echoing in the air like war drums striking the hearts of everyone present.

These warriors, who have ascended to eternity, will not care where the battlefield is—as long as the conqueror reveals his dominance once more, his subjects will rush to his side, no matter where they are.

This is the pride of being with the King.

This is the blood-boiling joy of fighting alongside the king.

"The enemy is the invincible Hero King—a perfect opponent for us! Men! Let us show our might to the primordial spirits!"

"Ooo ...

The ranks of soldiers echoed Iskandar's roar, shouting deafeningly.

Archer faced the mighty army, which surged like a tidal wave, alone, yet he showed no sign of being disheveled. Instead, he stood calmly and dignified before the army.

His golden battle stance was like a solitary, majestic mountain range, a grand and imposing presence that only demigods could possess.

Matou Ike and the others quietly retreated to the edge of the battlefield.

"It was just a conversation, but it escalated to this point." Matou Ike sighed, looking at the two who were on the verge of conflict.

"Won't Rider be eliminated early?"

"Are you already convinced that Rider will lose this duel, Berserker's Master?" Saber stood to the side, deeply puzzled by Matou Ike's words.

In her view, Rider still holds a huge advantage, no matter how powerful Archer's Noble Phantasm is.

But with so many heroic spirits, surely someone will manage to fight their way to that golden-haired guy...

"Well, let's wait and see..."

Seeing that Matou Ike was unwilling to say more, Saber gave up the idea of ​​spying. After all, the battle was right in front of her, and only what she saw with her own eyes could not deceive her.

"Bring it on, Lord of the Army. You will then understand what true kingship is..."

"The King of Heroes said coldly."

Upon hearing this, Rider immediately mounted his steed Busefalas once more, and under his leadership, the Heroic Spirit army finally began to charge towards the Hero King in a wedge formation.

Rider, leading the charge, let out a long howl, and the cavalrymen echoed his howl with shouts.

The mighty army of the "Ionian Hetairoi" (King's Army) charged forward, raising billowing yellow sand and shaking the earth—

Even faced with this breathtaking scene, the hero-king Gilgamesh remained unmoved.

Those bright red eyes stared at the magnificent army, feeling only a sense of annoyance. Tokiomi Tohsaka's sudden death was something he hadn't expected.

While this could be attributed to the incompetence of the minister, as a ruler, even if a minister were to sacrifice his life, such a thing could only happen with his witness and permission.

Archer used his key sword to open the treasure vault in the void.

However, he did not unfurl the "Golden Gate," but only took out a sword.

The three cylindrical sections, resembling a millstone, rotate in coordination with the movement of celestial bodies, each carrying weight and energy equivalent to the movement of the Earth's crust.

The surging magical power was far beyond what could be calculated. As an Archer, Gilgamesh possessed a class ability called "Independent Action A+".

This gives him a week's worth of activity time in the real world, even if his Master disappears.

Not to mention the countless potions in the King's Treasury that can restore magic power; breaking the shackles of magic has never been a difficult task for the King of Heroes!

Chapter 92 Arrogance Like the Morning Star

"Come, let me show you how endless dreams come to an end. I, the King, will personally demonstrate the truth to you..."

In Archer's raised hand, the initial sword named EA slowly increased its spinning speed.

One spin faster than the next, one revolution faster than the last...

Rider had only recently witnessed the threat posed by that weapon. In his eyes, it was a Noble Phantasm comparable to Saber's Holy Sword, and even a hasty draw could negate most of the Holy Sword's damage. Its threat was truly extraordinary.

Realizing the danger, Rider spurred his horse to increase Busefala's speed, leading his army in a charge forward.

The thunderous hoofbeats of the warhorses shook the earth, and the entire battlefield trembled.

"It's coming," Rider muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the energy source that was about to erupt.

Archer beat them to it.

It doesn't matter; even if he gains the upper hand, he only has one chance.

Before he could make his second move, "Ionian Hetairoi" would trample over that lone golden figure.

This is the force of a thousand armies, a battle that even God Jehovah must personally face!

The most important thing now is how to block this attack. Archer is unparalleled in his power with his Noble Phantasm, which he must believe is the ultimate weapon that will be enough to win.

Although I have witnessed the power of that Noble Phantasm, I still don't know exactly what it can achieve.

The hurricane roared loudly, and a huge amount of magic power burst out from the hilt of Archer's sword.

Ea – In ancient Mesopotamian mythology, the earth and water deities are divided into "heaven" and "earth".

The sword known as Ea is the primordial sword that witnessed the creation of heaven and earth in the mythological era.

The mission of the First Blade is to cleave the chaotic and undefined heaven and earth, allowing each of them to have a definite form.

Now, the sword that will cleave the world unleash a raging storm, about to once again display the miracle of creation. The Hero King, clad in golden armor, declares in a resounding voice:

"Behold the truth, you bastard—this is the 'Enuma Elish, the Star of Divergence'."

Suddenly, the heavens and earth roared.
