Chapter 326 The King's Treasure, Give It To Me!
Dust and sand swirled, and a protective barrier appeared.
The legion slowly appeared behind Rider.
Rider's Inherent Marble - King's Army.
"Rally, my fellow countrymen!"
Rider mounted his warhorse, raised his sword high, and shouted, "Tonight, we will etch our heroic image upon the greatest legend!"
In the blink of an eye, Rider was surrounded by a massive army.
"The enemy is a peerless hero king, worthy of our full strength. Warriors, let us show our might to the original spirits!"
"Oh oh oh—!"
Rider roared and, with his Master, rode his warhorse toward Archer.
The once naive young man now had only determination on his face. He had become the King of Expedition's subordinate and would fight alongside him against the enemy.
The overwhelming force of the army was so powerful that it shook people's hearts. Even from a distance, Saber was deeply impressed.
This is the ruler of the army!
If it were her, she wouldn't be a match for him.
The enemy was only one person, but Rider dared not underestimate him at all.
Facing a massive army, Archer remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic, and even chuckled.
He slowly raised his hand, and a long, golden weapon resembling a key appeared in his hand.
The Key to the Royal Law, the key to Archer's Gate of Babylon!
He was about to show his true skills to demonstrate his respect for Rider.
Suddenly, Archer twisted the handle of the Royal Key, and the golden key began to deform like a mechanism.
Immediately afterwards, numerous red lines spread across the sky like veins, as if unlocking something.
In an instant, the red lines began to shrink, transforming into a golden sphere of light that slowly landed in front of Archer.
Archer reached out his hand, and something fell into his hand from within the sphere of light.
Soon, its appearance was revealed; it was something indescribable, neither sword nor gun.
The hilt is gold, the blade is silver, and it looks like three cylinders pieced together, with red patterns on it.
"That's...!" Saber exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the sword.
"Anti-World Noble Phantasm... Ea." Tokishi stared intently at the sword and said.
"Ea?" Saber looked at him in confusion; she had never heard of such a thing.
"More powerful than your Excalibur."
"What?"
Saber stared in shock at the strangely shaped sword.
"That's Archer's... true Noble Phantasm?"
At that moment, Archer raised his sword, and the three cylinders on the blade began to rotate.
"Awaken, Ea!"
The sword began to spin rapidly, stirring up countless red sword energies and churning the barrier.
"Look up, to the star of creation, EnumaElish!"
The sword energy seemed to grow into the sun within this barrier, its red light illuminating everything. Then, a transparent sword energy suddenly appeared, sweeping across the entire barrier.
Boom!
It didn't seem to have much power, yet it easily shook the barrier, causing the earth to crack and the barrier to collapse.
The so-called "world-defying Noble Phantasm" does not refer to a barrier, but rather to a Noble Phantasm that affects the concept of the world itself.
The Ea sword can cleave the world in two, let alone a Reality Marble.
"Ah—!"
The army was instantly routed, falling into the cracks in the earth, their screams echoing throughout the barrier.
In an instant, the entire army was wiped out.
Moreover, not only did the massive army collapse and disappear, but Rider's own barrier also crumbled and vanished, leaving only him and his Master's warhorse standing alone in the middle of the bridge.
Archer, standing before him, remained motionless, but the sword in his hand, gleaming with red patterns, exuded a chilling and terrifying aura.
Rider stared at him blankly.
He originally thought that if Archer's Noble Phantasm was equipped on his warrior, he could conquer all directions and be invincible.
It turns out, they didn't need him at all.
Rider is the conqueror, fearless and unstoppable. How could he give up because of this setback? He put Waver down and charged towards Archer alone.
"Rider!"
Waver cried out, transferring all the magic of the Command Seals to Rider.
One man and one horse galloped across the bridge, Rider charging toward Archer with unwavering determination.
But what awaited him was a constant barrage of powerful magical weapons.
Swords, spears, and halberds seemed to be shooting at him endlessly.
He cleaved through one or two, but he couldn't cleave through all the treasures.
An arrow shot at the hilt of his sword, but he ignored it and continued charging forward.
His warhorse was shot and fell to the ground, where he rolled around.
The warhorse vanished, and he rose, sword in hand, charging toward Archer once more.
He was getting closer and closer, but the number of magical artifacts stuck in his body was also increasing.
His shoulders, chest, abdomen, waist, and legs were covered in magical artifacts, blood was flowing freely, and a long red line was already trailing behind him.
Even so, he rushed towards Archer, thinking victory was assured. He raised his sword and swung it down at Archer's head. However, when the sword was still a little distance from Archer's head, he couldn't move.
At some point, he was bound by chains, so tightly that he couldn't move, as if his power had been sealed.
Pfft!
Without hesitation, Archer plunged the sword Ea into Rider's body, from his chest to his back.
"Have you woken up from your dream, Conqueror?" Archer asked calmly.
"Really, you have so many strange and unusual things to do..." Rider said slowly, then slowly closed his eyes, and his body disappeared.
"Rider—!" Webber could no longer hold back and knelt down, crying and shouting.
Archer didn't look at him, but instead looked up at Tokichi and Saber, who were watching from the bridge supports.
"What? Do you want to fight me now? I don't mind."
"Archer..." Saber's white fur coat was instantly replaced by a blue skirt armor, and in her hand appeared the sword Excalibur, and it was its true form, not hidden by the Wind King's barrier.
After all, she knew that hiding her Noble Phantasm was pointless in dealing with Archer.
"Huh? You really want to fight him?" Shi Chen asked in surprise.
"Huh? Aren't you going to fight?" Saber looked at him in confusion.
"Didn't you see the sword in his hand? He could destroy this city in the blink of an eye. Do you want to see ordinary people bleeding like rivers?"
"What should we do then?"
"It's simple, just leave it to me."
"...Are you going to make a move?" Saber couldn't help but ask.
If Shichen were to intervene, she truly wouldn't know what use she would be.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to deal with Archer right now."
"And who are you?"
"Come with me first."
Shichen grabbed Saber's hand and teleported her to Archer's side.
"Long time no see, Archer." Shichen greeted Archer with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the sword in Archer's hand.
Archer wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but his eyes seemed to be burning with intensity.
"Are you going to do it yourself?"
"What? Scared?" Shi Chen asked back.
"Hmph, I've never known what fear is!"
"Oh, you're quite confident?"
"Hmph! Even with your exaggerated magic power, you can't possibly be a match for me. You should have seen the fate of the Expedition King, shouldn't you?"
"So, you mean I can't withstand your Noble Phantasms?"
"Without a doubt," Archer said with exceptional confidence.
"So... what if you didn't have those Noble Phantasms?"
"What do you mean?" Archer frowned at him, a sudden sense of unease creeping into his heart.
Saber suddenly remembered that she had stolen Lancer's Noble Phantasm just before the appointed time.
Could it be that even Archer's Noble Phantasm can do that?!
That was exactly what Shichen intended; he wanted to steal all of Archer's Noble Phantasms!
He had this idea when he learned that this world was the world of Fate, and he was really envious of Archer's Gate of Babylon.
It has everything inside, and can store anything. If he has it, he can take anything with him in the future.
She had said before that there was something of hers in this world.
After much thought, it couldn't possibly be Saber's Excalibur.
After all, Saber will belong to him in the future, and her weapons will definitely be his too.
What he coveted was Archer's Gate of Babylon.
Although it's not his yet, it will be soon, so "she" wasn't wrong.
"Archer, do you know what despair is?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"I don't need to say anything, you'll understand for yourself from here on out."
Shi Chen shook his head, smiled, and reached out his hand to Archer: "Steal!"
A sacred light emanated from the palm of the hour, and Archer, bewildered, became more vigilant.
But it seemed like nothing had happened; the light quickly disappeared, and there was nothing in Shichen's hand.
What are you doing...?
7
Archer was stunned halfway through his sentence. What he saw was a series of golden ripples appearing at the appointed time.
No one knew what it was better than him.
Archer couldn't believe it. He tried to summon his Gate of Babylon, only to find that there was nothing there.
"What...what did you do?" Archer asked in disbelief.
"Of course... I'll take back what's rightfully mine, Steal!"
The divine light appeared once more, and this time, the sword of discord appeared in Shichen's hand.
