The Godslayer in the Sky of Fate

Saber, who should have lost his battle spirit, was now serious for some reason.

"A challenge?"

"Yes ...... I am king, and so is he, and that Roman tyrant. If we're going to split the difference at the table, it's the same as a 'battle' without bloodshed."

Perhaps hearing Saber's words, the Conquering King nodded with a smile.

"Oh, it's good to understand. Since we can't fight with swords, let's fight with wine. I won't let you off the hook tonight, Knight King, so get ready. I will also extend invitations to the other kings, I saw archer just now, and Barr is here as well. "

"Is it? Interesting. The king's feast, then I accept."

Saber who responded resolutely radiated the same fierce fighting spirit as if he was on the battlefield. It was only now that Alice Fields realized that this was no joke, but a real "battle".

Chapter 10 or the Banquet

Chapter 10

The venue for the party was chosen by the flower beds in the castle atrium.

Saber, Rider, Nero, and Yo arrived. Alice Fair and Webb sat side by side, watching the development of the scene.

"It's a strange shape, but it's a wine vessel unique to this country."

Rider said as he proudly spooned the wine with a bamboo-handled spoon. Unfortunately, no one was able to point out his common sense mistake on the spot.

Rider first drained the wine from the spoon in one gulp, then spoke.

"I've heard that only those who are worthy can receive the Holy Grail." Rider said in a serious tone of voice.

"............"

Saber took the handle spoon from Rider without hesitation and scooped up a spoonful of the drink as well. Nero took a spoonful as well.

Their thin bodies would always raise concerns about whether or not they could really drink. But they were no match for Rider, who was a giant.

After that, Yo also took a drink. Well, the sense of existence was completely gone.

Rider gave a pleasant praise at the sight of them.

"So, first of all, you're going to compete with me on who's stronger now, Rider."

Saber asked first.

"Exactly, a real contest between each other in the name of 'King', but then it wouldn't be called the 'Holy Grail War', it would be more like the 'Holy Grail Quiz' Okay ...... In the end, who will be the 'King of the Grail', the King of Knights, the King of Conquest, the King of Rome and the King of Demons? That's the perfect question to ask a wine glass."

"...... joke's over, mongrel."

As if in response to Rider's meaningless words． A dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone.

That sound and that light caused Saber and Alice Phil's bodies to immediately stiffen. Yo took a look at the person who appeared, it was Golden Glitter.

"It's a good thing you chose such a shabby place to hold a feast, that's all you have taste for. How do you thank me for causing me to come all the way here?"

He turned around and saw Nero "What's with the extra person? Who is this bastard?"

Nero showed no weakness to. "I am the King of Kings, the great first citizen, the descendant of the divine Urius, master of the city of Rome, the center of the world, the artist who rivals the god of music and the charioteer who rivals the sun god, the supreme ruler of the Roman Empire, the emperor, Nero Claudius Drususus Germanus. Nicus!" The girl in red proudly spoke her name and a dizzyingly long list of titles.

"She's a spirit summoned from the land of Balt, oh come, have a drink first."

Rider smiled loftily and handed the spoon full of wine to the golden glitter.

I thought he would be irritated by Rider's attitude, but instead he simply took the spoon and drank the wine from it.

Alice Fields remembered the "challenge" Saber had mentioned earlier.

The Golden Shining, the unidentified Spirit of Gold, who called himself "King", couldn't possibly refuse the wine that Rider handed over.

"-What kind of bad wine is this, to fight a battle between heroes with this kind of wine?"

Gold Flash said with a disgusted face.

"Yeah? I bought it from the market here, nice wine."

"Would think so because you don't know anything about wine, you bastard."

A vortex of virtual space appeared around the sneering golden flash. It was a precursor to that strange phenomenon that could evoke treasured tools, and Webb and Alice Fell only felt a bad chill on their bodies.

--but what appeared around Golden Flash tonight was not a martial tool, but a series of drinking utensils studded with dazzling gems. Heavy golden bottles filled with a colorless, clear liquid.

"Take a look, this is the 'King's Wine'."

"Oh, it's so touching."

Rider didn't mind the tone of the golden glitter and happily poured the new wine into three glasses.

Saber, still quite wary of the unknown Golden Flash, looked hesitantly at the wine in the golden bottle, but took the cups that were handed to her.

Nero, though, took the glass with gusto and downed it in one gulp.

"Oh, yummy!!!"

Rider sipped it and immediately stared at it in praise. Even Saber's curiosity was aroused now. Originally this was not a contest to see who was more decent, but a contest to compete against each other with wine.

As the wine flowed into her throat, Saber only felt an intense swelling sensation fill her brain. It was indeed a good wine like she had never tasted before, strong and clean, aromatic and refreshing, with a strong aroma filling her nose and a sense of fluttering throughout her body.

"Wonderful, this is certainly not a wine made by man, it is drunk by God," so praised RIDER.

"Indeed." Yo spoke up, "I'm afraid this is the best wine my king has ever drunk, unless it's the agarwood of Eastern mythology, I can't find a better wine than this."

"Gracefully" Nero also praised, "This is the first time I have ever tasted such a delicious wine."

Archer smiled melodiously at the crowd who was not spared the compliment. At some point he also sat down and shook the wine cup in his hand contentedly.

"Of course, whether it's wine or swords, I only stock the best in my treasure trove - that's the king's taste."

"You've got to be kidding me, Archer."

Saber bellowed. The calm was beginning to be broken by the rattling of the sword.

"I'm tired of hearing you brag about hiding wine, you don't look like a king, you look like a clown."

Gold Glitter sneered at the pyrotechnically charged Saber.

"Unbelievable, a guy who doesn't even know how to hide wine is not worthy of being king."

"Come on, you two are boring."

Rider smiled bitterly indicating Saber who still wanted to say something, then turned his head to continue what he had been saying before.
