If Iskandar is also causing trouble at home and adding to the burden on the elderly couple, he'll probably really get a stomachache.
After all, Weber already felt somewhat guilty for simply using magic to hypnotize the elderly couple and fool them.
He would truly feel guilty if he caused them any more trouble.
"No, look, we've run into each other."
Iskandar said this and stopped walking.
Weber looked around in confusion and realized that the two of them had somehow ended up in a park, and there were two other people besides them.
A pretty girl dressed in what looked like a white straitjacket was sitting on a swing, while a handsome older boy in a black coat was pushing her back and forth.
As they arrived, the two stopped and looked at them.
In Fuyuki City, a strangely dressed duo late at night seems rather odd no matter how you look at it.
Although it's the same for them here, Iskandar is wearing that battle robe.
However, the fact that the other party could ignore the interference magic he set up and look directly at them shows that the two of them are not simple.
"Is it an enemy?!"
Weber was startled and quickly moved closer to Iskandar.
Iskandar glanced at the two men a few times and nodded: "It seems so."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Iskandar. You're such a troublemaker. Why are you running around like this?"
Marne stepped out from behind Nero and muttered something to himself, somewhat speechless.
Those two guys were really good runners, wandering around aimlessly. They chased them for half an hour before finally having to find a place they hadn't been before and wait for them to come to them.
Weber wanted to agree, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Oh wow! An egg!
The other party even knew his Servant's real name beforehand, which clearly indicates they came prepared.
Webber nervously grabbed Iskandar's cloak: "Rider, let's retreat."
The current situation is very unfavorable to them; the other side knows their intelligence, but they know nothing about the enemy.
“Hmm…” Skandar was just about to nod in agreement.
Although he seemed reckless, he was not stupid and understood that the other party had come to ambush him.
In this situation, avoiding direct confrontation is the best course of action.
However, before he could make a move, Ma En on the other side had already taken action.
He pulled a golden gun from his back and aimed it at Webber as if to throw it.
"The God's Declaration! Gungnir!"
They immediately unleashed their true names, showing no mercy and giving them no chance to resist.
The golden spear transformed into a laser beam, hurtling straight toward Weber at breakneck speed.
"You brat! Open!"
Iskandar had already realized that the other party was about to attack the moment Marn pulled out his gun.
However, he never expected that the other side would be so decisive and release their Noble Phantasm on the spot.
The situation was urgent, the two sides were too close, and the golden spear that was shooting at high speed was already close at hand. Iskandar only had time to push Weber away.
However, what he didn't expect was.
The golden spear suddenly veered off course in mid-air and changed direction...
he himself!
"Varied……"
Before he could even be surprised, with a 'BOOOOM', the golden spear sent Iskandar flying with him.
It crashed into the nearby woods, smashing dozens of large trees before finally coming to a stop.
"How insidious you are, as expected of you, player."
Looking at the mess, Nero gained a new understanding of Mares's treacherous nature.
I initially thought Mar and Eng were just using false information to fool people, but I didn't expect them to be so cunning in battle.
Only then did I understand why Ma En and Niang Shanshan had been smiling so sinisterly that morning.
On the surface, it was a Noble Phantasm that was unleashed on Waver, but in reality, it was the "guaranteed hit" function of the "Great God's Declaration" that was used to lock onto Iskandar.
Iskandar was caught completely off guard and struck by such a blow. He was either killed or seriously injured, and afterwards he had no strength left to escape.
This was the strategy that Marne devised to deal with Iskandar, the fastest-moving Servant among the Rider class.
I have to say, it's really damn insidious.
Seeing how much Ma En valued the 'Great God's Declaration,' Niang Shanshan must have guessed what Ma En was thinking, which is why she smiled knowingly.
Ma En was slightly out of breath. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes but didn't refute it.
He was now somewhat unable to refute the reason.
Although he forcibly created the permission to use it, the consumption of releasing such a divine weapon was truly terrifying for him, who lacked divinity. He almost thought he was going to be drained dry just now.
However, even so, it failed to unleash much of the power of the 'Declaration of the Great God'.
Otherwise, do you think the 'Declaration of the Great God' would be so weak?
It can only release one laser beam?
They're actually just a cannonball!
That attack was completely due to the sudden start, and Ma En himself was not prepared. He hastily constructed a poor-quality permit, which already consumed a lot of mana. In addition, his mana reserves were not enough. Without connecting with the Great Source, no matter how high the output limit was, it would be useless, which is why he was so weak.
Otherwise, if that shot had been fired, Iskandar would probably have been killed on the spot.
Even so, Iskandar is not in a good mood right now.
"Rider!"
Weber, who had been pushed away, finally reacted, staring in disbelief at the horrific scene that had unfolded in that instant. He quickly got up and ran over to check on Iskandar's condition.
Iskandar was pinned to the ground by the golden spear, his left shoulder pierced through, blood gushing out.
If it weren't for the fierce glint in the eyes of Mar and Eng, Weber would have almost thought he was dead just by looking at their miserable state.
Rider Iskandar, a devastating start to the first night!
Chapter 32 The King's Army! And then there's the unfortunate Webber.
"Rider! Are you alright?!" Bo asked, trembling with panic.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die."
Iskandar didn't turn around, but comforted his little Master with a word, his gaze still fixed on Mar and the other.
To be precise, it was Marx and Engels.
Although he didn't follow the code of chivalry like Artoria, the King of Knights, he was still very dissatisfied with Marne's sneak attack.
Even though he knew it was just a tactic, there was no such thing as insidious or not in war, and sometimes he himself would use such tricks.
However, while it might feel good to use such insidious tricks, it's even more unpleasant to fall for them yourself.
That last attack was especially dangerous. If he hadn't turned slightly at the last moment, it wouldn't have been his shoulder that was pierced, but his heart.
"Well done, kid."
To Iskandar's seemingly complimentary but actually sarcastic remark, Maen shrugged indifferently: "Isn't resorting to any means necessary a form of respect when facing a powerful enemy?"
As he spoke, Ma En waved his hand, and the 'Declaration of the Great God' responded to the call, detached itself from Iskandar, twirled twice in the air, shook off the blood, and flew back into Ma En's hand.
"Ugh~" Skandar groaned in pain, clutching his left shoulder with his right hand as he stood up. His left hand was completely immobilized, practically useless. Despite the excruciating pain, the burly man gritted his teeth and stood firmly, fearlessly facing his enemy.
Webber frantically began using magic to heal him, but the injury was too severe, and those simple spells were completely ineffective.
"Indeed, giving your all to the strong is a form of respect."
The magnanimous king agreed with this viewpoint, and then laughed menacingly, "Then let me show you the strength of a powerful being like myself!"
He is currently seriously injured, driving with one hand while also taking care of Webber, who is a burden, so it is clear that he cannot escape.
Then the only option is... to eliminate the enemy!
"The King's Army! IonioiHetairoi!"
Since Marne unleashed his Noble Phantasm right from the start, Iskandar naturally wouldn't be idle either, and he also unleashed his strongest Noble Phantasm right from the start.
Realistic Marble: Momentum!
Ma En made no move, simply waiting quietly for him to release his inherent barrier.
Firstly, Marne had just unleashed his Noble Phantasm, 'Declaration of the Great God,' a divinely created weapon that consumed an enormous amount of energy, so much so that his mana hadn't yet recovered.
Secondly, allowing Iskandar to release his Reality Barrier would actually be more advantageous to them.
With thorough preparations, the powerful 'King's Army' posed no pressure on the two.
On the contrary, it would cut off Iskandar's retreat route and shift the battlefield, making the fighting here less noticeable to the outside world.
……
The shimmering setting sun, the vast expanse of yellow sand, the gentle breeze carrying waves of heat and dust, and the boundless desert enveloping the four of them.
"This is (or rather,)... a Reality Marble!? How is this possible! They're not even magicians!"
Weber, who was in a panic, was immediately shocked and stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
This is something only an extremely powerful magician could achieve; it's the closest thing to a magical miracle—a Reality Marble!
Although he knew from the ability panel that Iskandar had such a Noble Phantasm, he never knew what it was, and he never expected it to be like this!
Snap! Smash! Smash!
A series of soft metallic clanging sounds rang out, and then one figure after another emerged from the yellow sand.
Their steps were slightly disordered, but quickly became synchronized.
