Chapter 121: Saber's Dissatisfaction

Impossible to win.

How could anyone possibly defeat a guy like this?

Waver was far from the only one harboring that thought.

Irisviel, Artoria, Diarmuid, and even Gilgamesh all shared it.

Only those who had witnessed the Kijin's power firsthand could understand just how absurdly strong Bai Luo was as a Heroic Spirit.

Clop, clop, clop...

The sound of hooves echoed across scorched earth as the King of Conquerors, carrying Waver, came to a halt before Bai Luo under the watchful gaze of the surrounding Kijin.

With every step they took toward Bai Luo, the pressure from the Kijin on either side intensified.

When only ten meters remained between them, the King of Conquerors' beloved steed could no longer withstand the magical pressure and collapsed to the ground.

"Are you satisfied with this battle, King of Conquerors?"

Bai Luo walked forward calmly, not in the least worried that the King of Conquerors would suddenly lash out.

Not to mention the numerous Kijin watching him like hawks.

With the strength of the Snow Empress and Ogerpon, at this distance, they could kill the King of Conquerors before he even had a chance to move.

"It was exhilarating!"

The King of Conquerors pushed against the pressure, forcing himself to stand tall.

He had no regrets about starting this fight with Bai Luo.

He had given it his all, yet he had still been utterly defeated.

To the King of Conquerors, there was no shame in losing to a stronger opponent—rather, it was another honor to add to his great legacy of conquest.

"Rider..."

"Could you give me a moment?"

"No problem."

Bai Luo raised his hand, and the surrounding Kijin immediately released the pressure they had been exerting on the King of Conquerors.

"Hah~~"

"What a terrifying bunch."

"Haha, it seems this is my final destination..."

The King of Conquerors set Waver down. He looked at the young man and began his final words.

Just as in the original story, Waver swore an oath of allegiance to the King of Conquerors, hoping to become his subject.

Bai Luo didn't interrupt, waiting silently for the King of Conquerors to finish before giving the final order.

"Kill him."

The moment Bai Luo's voice fell, countless blades pierced through the King of Conquerors' body from all directions.

"Rider!!!"

Waver tried to rush forward but was held back by Souei. He could only bite back his tears and sob quietly.

"Your journey ends here."

"Ah..."

The King of Conquerors swallowed the blood in his mouth and smiled. "That was... a truly satisfying battle..."

Pfft!!

The blades were pulled from his flesh, and amidst a spray of blood, the King of Conquerors' body began to dissolve into golden particles.

"Same here."

Bai Luo had no intention of recruiting the King of Conquerors.

"Thank you for your gift."

Although Bai Luo was quite fond of the King of Conquerors' personality and character, unfortunately, the King of Conquerors was a king.

He could die, but he would never bend the knee to another.

Therefore, even if Bai Luo had offered him the chance to join him and conquer the heavens together, the King of Conquerors would have likely just laughed it off.

He didn't advance just to see the sights—he advanced and happened to enjoy the new scenery along the way.

Bzzzzz~~~

Soon, as Bai Luo finished off the King of Conquerors, the Reality Marble began to collapse.

The remaining Heroic Spirits, as well as the wolf clan and Kijin under Bai Luo's command, vanished like phantoms.

"Your Holy Grail War is over. Go back to where you belong."

Bai Luo patted Waver's shoulder, then walked toward the three remaining Heroic Spirits.

"Demon Lord..."

Seeing Bai Luo approach, the most nervous of them all was, without a doubt, Diarmuid.

Artoria and Gilgamesh, on the other hand, didn't show much of a reaction.

"O King of the earliest heroes."

Bai Luo ignored the other two; his target aimed squarely at Gilgamesh. "How about we find a place and fight to the death?"

"Insolent."

Gilgamesh was not one to shy away from a fight. He accepted Bai Luo's challenge. "But you do indeed have the qualifications to challenge this king!"

"Go back and prepare yourself properly!"

"Tomorrow, this king will personally pay you a visit!"

Unlike with the King of Conquerors, Gilgamesh wanted to fight Bai Luo at his absolute peak.

However, because of today's battle, Bai Luo's forces had suffered considerable losses.

In his entire life, Gilgamesh was never one to be outdone.

He could not accept fighting a Bai Luo who was weaker than the one who had faced the King of Conquerors.

Therefore...

Ryuudou Temple!

Gilgamesh chose the battlefield to be on Bai Luo's home turf to compensate for the losses from the battle with the King of Conquerors.

"Fine."

Bai Luo calmly accepted Gilgamesh's request.

Since Gilgamesh had this much confidence, Bai Luo would, of course, satisfy him.

"Hey!"

Artoria spoke up. "You've challenged them one after another, so what about me?"

Being ignored time and time again, Artoria was both furious and aggrieved.

She didn't believe her strength was any less than the other Heroic Spirits.

The King of Conquerors' Army of the King was indeed powerful.

But if she unleashed Excalibur, combined with Avalon...

She could absolutely charge forward with her beam cannon, cut her way to the King of Conquerors, and finish him off.

Setting aside the question of whether Saber had enough magical power...

Such a strategy did indeed have a chance of victory.

Of course, it would be completely ineffective against Bai Luo.

It couldn't be helped—Bai Luo's Kijin were simply too strong.

The map-clearing blast of Excalibur would have difficulty annihilating them.

The final result would be the Kijin taking her down, albeit at a certain cost.

There was no other possibility.

"Defeat him first, then come and ask me that question."

Bai Luo didn't answer Artoria.

He just gave Lancer a nonchalant glance and prepared to turn and leave.

He needed time to consolidate and shape the Reality Marble he had just acquired.

He didn't have time to stay here and chat with Artoria.

"Hey!"

The wind around Invisible Air suddenly grew violent.

"You bastard! There's a limit to how conceited you can be!"

However, before she could make a move, two figures blocked her path, standing behind Bai Luo.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Poni!"

The Snow Empress and Ogerpon stared at Artoria, placing immense pressure on her.

"No, I wasn't..."

"I just..."

She wasn't actually going to attack Bai Luo right now.

What Artoria wanted was acknowledgment.

Just as he had declared war on the King of Conquerors and arranged a duel with Gilgamesh.

Saber also wished that Bai Luo would show her some respect.

Pick a battlefield.

Even if it were to be her final resting place, Saber would have no regrets.

But of all things!

Bai Luo simply refused to take her seriously!

"Our war was already over at the banquet."

Bai Luo's back was to Artoria as he spoke in a low voice.

"Someone who cannot even see themselves clearly is not qualified to be defeated by me."

"You..."

Humiliation. Unprecedented humiliation.

But Artoria found herself unable to say a word in rebuttal.

Without Bai Luo's questioning back then, she wouldn't even have understood where she had gone wrong or what she was fighting for.

Thinking about it that way, it seemed she was the one being unreasonable
