Tribute to the Demon King

It doesn't matter whoever it is, but Rider, only Rider—— Waver doesn't want him to remember such a childish, clumsy and mediocre self.

"—Hey, hey, why did you suddenly stop talking? Hmm?"

But at this time, Iskandar suddenly put his hand on Weber's head, and while shaking from side to side, he showed an innocent and apologetic smile: "Ah, I know that Bucephalos is definitely not as stable as the one on the bridge, but Just let it go."

"No, Rider! Look clearly, I don't have Command Seals anymore, I'm no longer a Master—"

Wei Bo raised his head and retorted subconsciously.

But he was only halfway through when Bucefalos suddenly turned his head and neighed loudly with his nose, as if laughing and mocking.

... I was despised by a horse?

After being sprayed with water by Bucephalos, Weber's eyes widened blankly.

"Look, boy, Bucephalos is laughing at you!"

Seeing this scene, Rider grinned cheerfully, showing a heartless smile: "You are really weird today. Are you in a bad mood? Do you want to go back and play games with me?"

"...Hey, have you figured out the situation? I'm trying to reason with you. I don't have any Command Seals anymore..."

"Huh? Not Master... so what?"

Rider scratched his head in confusion: "Even if you are not the Master, but you are my friend, so why not run around if you have nothing to do?"

Those words, uttered with the same smile as usual, instantly shattered something in Waver's heart that he was desperately protecting.

Subconsciously, Weber burst into tears.The vision that looked at Rider was suddenly blurred.

The continuous stream of tears made it difficult for Weber to breathe, and the air hissed out of his throat, but he couldn't make a sound.

Even so, he didn't lower his head to wipe away his tears, but just stuck his neck like this, opened his eyes as much as possible, looked at the huge blurry figure, and asked with a sob: "I... can I really... Is it by your side?"

"You have gone to the battlefield with me so many times, why are you still talking like this. You are stupid."

The King of Conquerors laughed at the boy, removed his hand from his mind, and patted his thin shoulder briskly.

"Aren't you the man who rides with me and faces the enemy together? Then, you are a friend."

Smiling, Rider read slowly in his rough and deep voice: "So, boy—from now on, stand up and fight for yourself."

At that moment, Weber forgot the inferiority complex before.

The humiliation of the past, the timidity of tomorrow, and the fear of facing death—all of these things were crushed by Rider's savage words.

"Rider..."

The boy murmured, as if he heard the sound of waves.

Or in other words, the sound of the waves may have been echoing in his chest.

Yes, it is impossible to fail.

As long as I am with Rider, walking side by side with the king, on the road of never-ending expedition——then, no matter how unreliable your feet are, you will set foot on the end of the world.

As for myself, I only need to hold high the king's battle flag and praise his glory loudly.

"Please let me fight with you! Rider!"

Involuntary, impulsive words blurted out.

"it is good!"

Rider laughed heartily, and his rumbling voice made Waver's ears ring.

Then, he turned his fierce eyes to Zhou Yi and Archer, and grabbed Bucephalus' reins: "How about answering the first command spell now?"

"Oh? Are you going to fight me now?"

Zhou Yi, who was watching the scene with his arms folded on his chest, chuckled lightly, and asked bluntly: "You said it too, there is only a [-]% chance of winning. But at that time, you had just finished fighting Darius, and The result of maintaining the military power for so long. I advise you to go back and replenish your magic power, maybe the odds of winning will be a little higher."

"No. Things are different now, Lord Lord."

Calmly, Rider grinned and sat on Bucephalus and announced loudly: "Don't underestimate me. Although the magic power is in short supply at the moment, it is enough if it is just to maintain one more battle. Now Is Kandal, he's in the best form he's ever had."

"indeed."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and admitted: "After a while, the strengthening of Velvet's Command Seal will weaken."

In fact, although Rider's reserve mana has bottomed out, from Zhou Yi's perspective, the mana rolling around him is actually more than before.

The three Command Seals that Weber thought he had "wasted in vain" had actually produced their effects.

If the command spell is not used to distort the Servant's will, but is activated based on the common will of the two, it is not just a coercive force, but a means of enhancing the Servant's actions.For example, Kiritsugu once used "dimension transfer" or "Noble Phantasm Amplification" on Archer. Command spells sometimes subvert the common sense of magic, making miracles close to magic possible.

Although the method of use was profligate, it did not violate Rider's will at all, and the three consecutive Command Spells finally took effect on Rider—as long as Rider's actions are aimed at "victory", all his actions can be obtained beyond Unusual reinforcement.

From this point of view, Rider really didn't show off at all just now.

Because, he is indeed in an unprecedented excellent state now——

"—No, no."

Iskandar shook his head slowly, denying Zhou Yi's statement: "It has something to do with that, but it's not absolutely."

"The reason I say I'm in great shape is not because of how I am personally...but because my warriors just got a win and their morale is high; it's because my friends just recovered from the shadow Stepping out of it, eagerly longing for a victory - especially because my road to conquest is about to set sail today!"

Proudly, proudly, the Conqueror King Iskandar declared to his opponent: "If there was only a [-]% winning rate before, Iskandar now has the confidence to win!"
