Chapter 176 Declaration of Decisive Battle, Renewed Contract

Iskander, who was drinking with Archer, suddenly felt that the magic power of the Golden Heroic Spirit suddenly dropped a lot.

Having experienced something similar this morning, he understood that this was a sign that the Master-Servant Contract was broken.

At the beginning, he relied on the "divinity" to hold on for a while longer. If he hadn't met Emiya Kiritsugu, he would have dissipated into a spirit particle by now. As for Gilgamesh, who is an "Archer"...

"I have A+ level "solo action", idiot." As if seeing the doubts of the King of Conquerors, the Golden Heroic Spirit put down the wine glass and sneered, "Even if that idiot Kotomine Kirei died like this, I can walk freely in my garden."

Solo action: A+

Gilgamesh, who has the level of solo action, can act even without a Master. His level is A+, which is beyond A, and even when using large-scale magic power, the support of the Master is not necessary. It is an ability that can continue to manifest after the Holy Grail War is over.

"But..." Gilgamesh's face suddenly darkened. "No matter how bad Kirei is, he is still a subject (Master) recognized by the king. He actually killed him on his own initiative. Are you quite capable? Are you ready to face the king's wrath!"

"Hey, don't mess around in my army. There are several undisciplined thorns in my army. You don't want to waste your magic here, do you?"

"Hmph, then restrain your mad dogs, King of Conquerors."

"Yes, yes, since Kotomine Kirei is dead, then my army should go back to rest." As he said this, the magnificent scenery like yellow sand dissipated, and Iskandar and Gilgamesh returned to the church again.

Just after the King's Army was lifted, a surprised voice sounded behind Iskandar.

"Rider!"

The red-haired sturdy man turned around and saw Waver and Emiya Kiritsugu walking out of the aisle, with a surprised smile on his face:

"Oh, Waver! Are you okay?"

Even though he was exhausted, Waver still shook his head: "It's okay, Rider, but is there any problem with your magic supply after the contract is broken?"

"Ah, this..."

The two masters reunited after a short separation, while on the other side, the atmosphere between Emiya Kiritsugu and Gilgamesh became extremely depressing.

Looking at the gun in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand and the scars on his face, Gilgamesh could easily tell who was fighting with Kotomine Kirei.

"So, it was you, a miscellaneous cultivator, who killed Kotomine Kirei?"

Is Kotomine Kirei dead? Emiya Kiritsugu was slightly startled, and the changes in his expression were seen by the King of Heroes.

"It's not you... Humph, it seems that the cook is not idle either. How about this, Zashu, you hand over Saber, and I will spare your life for the time being."

"I am not Saber's Master..." Before Kiritsugu Emiya finished speaking, Waver's scream came from the other side.

"What? You signed a contract with Kiritsugu Emiya and became his Servant!"

Weber looked at the Command Seal in Kiritsugu Emiya's hand, and then looked at the apologetic smile on Rider's face, took a deep breath, and turned his face away with an unhappy look, and took a step forward.

"Hey wait, wait, kid! Don't go, kid!" Rider never thought that he would shout this sentence, "Listen to my explanation!"

"...What are these two idiots doing here?" Gilgamesh hugged his shoulders and was speechless.

At this moment, a servant's aura emerged, and Assassin appeared in front of everyone openly, saying calmly:

"The master's order: Everyone, it's getting late today. Although I look forward to the decisive battle with you, the night after the rain is really beautiful, so I decided to postpone the battle to tomorrow night. I have arranged a large-scale ritual field around Ryudo Temple tonight. If you don't want to be attacked by me and Saber, please don't step in casually."

"On the night of the seventh day, I will set up a clear carriage and wait for your arrival."

After the words were delivered, Assassin bowed slightly to everyone, activated the aura blocking, and disappeared.

The seventh night, the decisive battle.

Location, Ryudo Temple.

After realizing this, Gilgamesh snorted first, with a weird smile on his lips, and disappeared in spirit form.

Emiya Kiritsugu left the church without saying a word.

So, only Rider and his Master who was in a bad mood were left in the church.

"Boy, what should we do next?"

"Why are you asking me? Go ask Kiritsugu Emiya. He is much better than me in terms of magician qualifications and strength."

"But he has left."

"Why don't you go back to chase him after him?"

Iskander scratched his head and sighed: "I say, boy, do you want to see what my situation is now?"

"What situation? Of course, there are better magicians to support me, and I can exert more powerful power..." Weber muttered and turned around, and was suddenly shocked. "You...you...why did you suddenly weaken so much? Where is the contract! Where is the contract between you and Kiritsugu Emiya? If you continue like this, you will disappear!"

"Don't you understand, boy? The contract between Kiritsugu Emiya and me has been broken." Rider smiled and touched Weber's head, "I still think that Weber Velvet is more suitable to be my master than Kiritsugu Emiya!"

Weber blinked, feeling the familiar touch on his forehead, and his eyes suddenly became moist: "I, I am just a worthless contract partner, following you will only drag you down..."

There was a time when Webber Velvet was quite smug and thought he had enough power to become a winner.

But after being severely beaten on the first day of the Holy Grail War, and later seeing what a true hero was, he already knew how incompetent and insignificant he was.

The weak also have their own backbone. Even if that extraordinary figure is forever out of reach, at least you can look at him from behind and don't tarnish his dignity——

Weber lowered his head. The inferiority complex in his heart made him avoid the gaze of the Conqueror King: "I am not your master. Maybe I should have been like this a long time ago. You go quickly and sign a contract with Emiya Kiritsugu. Without me, , you will be more..."

"Bang!" There was a heavy pressure on his shoulders, and the familiar feeling of blow made Webber stagger and almost fell to the ground. Then someone suddenly grabbed him by the neck and threw him onto the Shenwei wheel.

"Boy, don't you understand yet? You are my chosen contract partner. Even if the contract between us is broken, you should be mentally prepared to witness it until the end."

The majestic and noble Overlord said: "Because you are my friend."

The warm smile on Rider's face was the same as usual. When Weber knew that Rider's words were either for others or for himself, the strongest part in his heart collapsed - although he had been carefully guarding his heart. barriers, but they collapsed in just a short moment.

"...I, someone like me...is it really okay? I...can I stand by your side?"

"Silly boy, you and I have already experienced so many battles together, why are you saying stupid things?" The Conqueror King didn't care that the young man was crying until he was out of breath, as if he was hearing drunken words at a banquet. , said with a smile and patted the young man's thin shoulder.

"Didn't you once fight against strong enemies with me? Then you are a friend. Okay, straighten your back, puff out your chest, and look forward! You are so thin, at least you can't lose in aura, the most important thing is this It will make you feel better.”

Amid Rider's loud shout, Weber subconsciously raised his chest and raised his head. His red eyes met the king's smiling eyes, and he watched as he stretched out his hand to him:

"Okay, let's renew the contract, Master."

"……Um!"

As the causal line was activated again, a large amount of magic began to flow to someone other than himself, but Weber's heart was already filled with something.

He had put behind him the humiliation of the past, the anxiety about the future, and the fear of facing death at this moment.

Only the firm knowledge of "conquering victory" took root deeply in his empty heart.

Weber is now with the king, without defeat or humiliation. If you can believe in the king's path to dominance and walk on this avenue, no matter how weak your feet are, you will one day reach the end of the world - Weber is now convinced of this.

"Then let's go, Rider." Wiping his tears, Weber's face was full of determination at this time, "It's time to prepare for the battle tomorrow night."
