Chapter 39: Conclusion of the Second Battle (Part 2)

After the destructive storm disrupted the battlefield, silence descended.

The sound of waves crashing against the cliffs and the distant noise from the streets began to secretly adorn the night sky. It seemed that with the departure of Lancer's Master, the isolated barrier was lifted.

Saber looked at Rider with a complex gaze, the one who had interrupted her decisive battle with Lancer.

"Why did you come here, King of Conquerors?"

"I don't know. I didn't think too much about it."

Facing Saber's question, the burly servant seemed indifferent and casually shrugged his shoulder.

"All those reasons, plans, and troublesome things can be left for future historians to ponder. We heroes just need to follow our hearts, embrace our burning passion, and gallop on the battlefield."

"That is not something a true king would say."

Saber responded with disappointment, her attitude firm. The King of Knights adhered to the principles of chivalry, a far cry from the unrestrained nature of the King of Conquerors.

Rider sniffes and ignores Saber's provocative gaze.

"The kingship of every king is unique. As for the king that I am, the king that you are, and the Queen of Shadows, we are all different. Or are you insisting on making a distinction between right and wrong?"

"That is exactly what I expect. I want to—"

Saber swung her invisible sword with stubbornness and determination.

"Don't be so stubborn, little girl."

Scáthach casually extended her right hand and accurately caught Saber's unseen blade. With a sudden force on her wrist, Saber's sword veered to the side.

"A qualified warrior does not fear strong enemies but also should not provoke them when in an unfavorable state."

While lecturing her junior, Scáthach had the opportunity to grab Saber's left wrist.

In battle, even if Saber were injured, Scáthach would not be able to grab her wrist because Saber possessed a rather OP skill called "Instinct," ranked A.

Perhaps the Conqueror King gave Waver courage or perhaps the humor of the young version of Shinji eased his tension. Waver took a deep breath and shouted.

"The mountains remain unchanged, and the green waters flow long. I look forward to having an exciting duel with several of you the next time. Uh, why does it feel a bit strange? Is it the grammar or something else?"

"Don't worry about those details." Shinji waved his hand casually and gave a thumbs-up to Waver. "Next time, it will be Servants fighting Servants and Masters fighting Masters. I look forward to facing you, Waver Velvet."

"..."

"Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!!!"

Waver's miserable scream echoed in the night, clearly audible.

Rider laughed loudly and pressed his Master back into his seat. Then he tightened the reins of the two divine bulls, and with a roar symbolizing Zeus's thunder, the bulls emitted lightning from their hooves and galloped into the sky.

"Farewell!"

Accompanied by the thunderous roar of lightning, Rider's chariot headed towards the southern sky.

Scáthach nodded to the two ladies, her body blending with the shadow of the container.

"Master, let's retreat as well."

"Yes, it's also time. Saber and Irisviel, we will meet again soon."

Shinji pulled his cloak, and his form became increasingly faint until he suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving only one remark.

"Hey, you two up there, could you please stop pointing your guns at me? I have no ill intentions."
