Chapter 859: The Hero King's Arch-Nemesis!
Chapter 859: The Hero King's Arch-Nemesis!
When Yecheng and Gilgamesh laid eyes on each other, they were both taken aback and surprised.
Although he had anticipated it, Yecheng truly did not expect that the golden-clad hero, who he had previously stabbed and thrown into the black mud of 'This World's Evil', had somehow survived.
In the original plot, Yecheng knew that Gilgamesh had gained a physical body and remained in the real world due to his embodiment through 'This World's Evil'.
But at that time, Gilgamesh was able to resist the corrosion of 'This World's Evil' because he had not sustained any life-threatening injuries.
However, the situation was different during the Fourth Holy Grail War. When Gilgamesh was defeated by Yecheng, his magical power was nearly depleted, and even with a stab wound to his chest, he was in a near-death state.
Yet, in that condition, he endured the corrosion of 'This World's Evil' and managed to embody himself in the real world.
Setting aside other aspects, just in terms of willpower and the strength of his obsession, Gilgamesh was undoubtedly in a league of his own among all Heroic Spirits!
Similarly, since surviving the Fourth Holy Grail War and gaining a physical body, Gilgamesh had been searching for Yecheng's whereabouts, seeking to avenge his past humiliation.
After all, he was no longer the same as before after embodying himself.
As a Heroic Spirit, he had the ability of 'Independent Action', but he still relied on his Master's magical power.
But the situation had changed; he now had his own body, and his magical power was supplied by the 'This World's Evil' within the Holy Grail, making it truly infinite!
Gilgamesh sought revenge, but just like Xiao Ying and the others, he had also been unable to find Yecheng's whereabouts over the years.
Later, upon realizing that Yecheng might have been exiled to another time and space through a spatial wormhole, or even died, Gilgamesh, who had remained in the real world, became an otaku and developed a passion for various games.
Among all the games, Gilgamesh's favorite was racing games. He even used his 'Golden Law' to spend a considerable amount of money on upgrading his chariot.
With his gacha capabilities, Gilgamesh had been dominating the gaming world for years until he encountered a player named "Girl Who Wants to Be a Wife" yesterday.
As the Most Ancient King, Gilgamesh's competitive spirit was undoubtedly strong. It was tolerable that he had been at a disadvantage in the Holy Grail Wars against Yecheng.
But now, in the gaming world, as a gacha king, he was losing to an ordinary person who was like a miscellaneous repairer!
The opponent's car was ordinary in every aspect, yet it could keep up with him, leading Gilgamesh to strongly suspect that they were using illegal third-party software.
This was why the current face-to-face challenge had come about.
However, what Gilgamesh never expected was that the person who had narrowly defeated him in the game using "despicable" means would turn out to be that bastard, Yecheng!
It was tolerable that the opponent had humiliated him repeatedly during the Holy Grail Wars. Now, they had even come to interfere in his new domain of dominance!
With new grudges added to old ones, Yecheng was now Gilgamesh's arch-nemesis!
[Otaku Syndrome? Role-playing? What's with this Heroic Spirit Throne and King? Is this a new anime this year?]
[What a pity, these two handsome men have high appearance scores, but who would have thought they both have mental issues...]
[Hahaha, arch-nemesis, huh? These two old men probably don't realize they've passed the age of being in their teens.]
【What's wrong with being a chuunibyou? As long as you're handsome, that's all that matters! Appearance is justice!】
【Who knows what anime or game characters they're cosplaying as? I want to be the female lead in that story!】
【With your looks, you want to be the female lead? Maybe they're cosplaying characters from a yaoi work?】
【What? You think they might be a couple? Then I'm even more excited!】
The main demographic in Fuyuki City's Game Commercial Street were teenagers, and both Yecheng and Gilgamesh's auras and appearances were already extremely impressive. With their recent conversation, they quickly drew the attention of many passersby.
Some thought they were role-playing, while others believed they were idols filming a movie, so more and more people gathered around.
As they listened to the surrounding discussions, Yecheng and Gilgamesh's expressions grew increasingly displeased.
Even the Most Ancient King, known for his proud personality, found it hard to bear the unrestrained and wolfish words of the teenagers. Yecheng himself was almost unable to continue listening.
He was about to take action against Gilgamesh, but the bustling shopping street, crowded with people, was not an ideal place for a fight.
Just as the Most Ancient King was about to lose his patience and start a massacre, a loud commotion suddenly erupted from the other side of the Game Commercial Street.
"Monsters! Skeleton-like undead are attacking humans! Run for your lives!"
At first, when the distant cries were heard, the surrounding passersby didn't believe them and even thought the person was crazy.
Skeleton monsters attacking? They really think this is a fantasy world now? There are people cosplaying over there, and now there's an even more absurd monster attack happening.
Initially, no one paid attention to the distant cries, and everyone continued with their business.
But as more people fled, accompanied by the rapid footsteps of "pata pata," and when a large number of Dragon Fang Soldiers emerged from the night, the people in the shopping street finally realized the seriousness of the situation and started running for their lives!
Yecheng and Gilgamesh, who were about to take action, froze as they witnessed the scattering crowd and the sudden appearance of the Dragon Fang Soldiers from the darkness.
"I thought you were one of those knights who boasted about justice, but it seems you're not much different."
Gilgamesh's expression turned playful as he watched the Dragon Fang Soldiers emerging from all sides and attacking humans.
However, at this moment, Yecheng's face showed confusion in response to the mockery.
It was clear that the Dragon Fang Soldiers, being magical artifacts, were obviously Medea's doing. In the Fourth Holy Grail War, Yecheng and Medea had become so close that they were practically sharing underwear.
Naturally, as the Dragon Fang Soldiers began their rampage against humans, Gilgamesh believed it was Yecheng's doing.
But it was evident that Yecheng was completely bewildered by the situation. Medea had already been summoned by Yecheng in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and there was a possibility that she could be summoned again in the Fifth Holy Grail War. However, Yecheng hadn't expected Medea to pull off such a stunt! How dare she? Even if she had irregularly summoned Assassin, and Soichiro Kuzuki was a capable Master, was Medea this reckless in the original plot?
