Chapter 133 The King Comes to Conquer.jpeg

Garden hidden mountain.

Ryudong Temple.

As night falls, Mount Yuanzang appears exceptionally tranquil under the moonlight.

Ryudong Temple stands quietly on the mountaintop, the surrounding trees rustling in the night breeze.

The stone lanterns lining the approach swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a dim yellow light that added a touch of mystery to this ancient temple.

Iskandar was walking slowly forward, the stone steps on the approach making a soft sound under his feet.

The trees lining the stone steps were tall and vigorous, their shadows dappling the ground. The air was filled with the faint scent of pine and damp earth, a truly refreshing atmosphere.

The night sky was dotted with stars, and moonlight filtered through the leaves onto the path, draping the earth in a silvery veil.

Occasionally, a few birdsongs drifted from afar, breaking the silence of the night.

"Rider, what's wrong with you?" Webber Velvet was walking in front of Iskandar, with a dozen or so steps between them.

This is completely different from the situation of the previous duos.

Previously, Iskandar would always walk ahead with a proud and imposing air, while Weber would follow cautiously behind him, nervously and carefully observing the surrounding movements.

Today, however, the situation was completely reversed. Weber was walking very fast ahead, while Iskandar seemed hesitant and his steps were heavy.

“Kid, did I make it that obvious today?” Iskandar’s voice was deep and firm, but Weber sensed something unusual in it.

"Ugh, you! You were the one who decided to come here, and now you want to leave. If it really doesn't work out, let's just go back!"

Weber was getting a little frustrated, wondering what was wrong with Iskandar today.

Several attack plans had been devised, but Iskandar rejected them all and then made the decision to storm Ryudoji Temple.

Webber initially discussed the pros and cons with Iskandar:

"My lord, the spearmen who attacked Matou were killed halfway through the battle. Now the world is divided into four parts. Matou is located in Ryudo, which has a strong defensive position and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is not a good strategy."

"We are now attacking them with infantry, but we are blocked in the enemy's formation. Our forces are difficult to deploy, and our infantry generals are trapped here. If we attack rashly, we may fall into the enemy's trap, which would be detrimental to the battle. We should reconsider our strategy."

"It would be better to join forces with the spearmen to attack Tohsaka Garden and attack from both sides. We can take it easily, as if taking something out of a bag."

But after Weber analyzed section after section, Iskandar nodded in agreement, but still refused.

Weber didn't understand, and when he asked, he was still unwilling to answer.

Well, they're not happy about it.

Then let's attack Ryudong Temple.

However, once he arrived here, Iskandar appeared somewhat reluctant.

It takes me longer to climb a flight of stairs than to go to a convenience store.

A contradiction, an extreme contradiction.

Waver had spent two or three days with Iskandar the Conqueror, and he had gotten a pretty good feel for his personality.

He was originally a rough but meticulous, bold and decisive man, but now he was so hesitant about doing this.

This is a stark contrast to his previous decisive and efficient approach; he's practically a different person.

Webber Velvet was shocked. Who had replaced my Rider? This wasn't my Conqueror King. My Conqueror King wouldn't do this.

Thus, this conversation took place on the steps of the approach to the temple.

But what could he do? He and Iskandar were already in cahoots, and Webber could only give his full support whatever Iskandar wanted to do.

After all, the Holy Grail War still depends on this big guy.

"Rider, you've already come this far, and you're still hesitating like this. That's not the demeanor of a conqueror. Isn't conquest supposed to be done in one fell swoop?"

Weber turned and shouted at Iskandar.

Their eyes met.

"Ah, I never thought that I, the king, would be lectured by a mere brat like you. Well done, well done!"

Iskandar held his breath for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The laughter was extremely penetrating, echoing throughout the entire mountain forest.

As the laughter echoed, the surrounding woods seemed to tremble slightly at the sound of such exhilarating laughter.

Birds took flight from the branches, fluttering their wings and circling in mid-air, seemingly puzzled by the sudden sound.

The wind whistled through the forest, carrying Iskandar's hearty laughter, and the leaves rustled in the breeze, as if responding to the conqueror's heroic spirit.

Weber stood on the steps, watching Iskandar laugh so heartily, and much of his anxiety dissipated.

But the next moment, he jumped up and down in a panic.

"Rider!!! Your laughter gives us away! All my secret magic has been wasted!!"

"Ha, kid, you don't actually think your lousy magic skills can evade Caster's detection, do you?"

Iskandar strode up to Webber and slapped him hard on the shoulder, almost making Webber stumble.

"That magician from the Age of Gods must already be monitoring our every move through the familiars nearby."

"Hmph, so what are you planning to do now?"

Webber snorted indignantly. Although what Iskandar said was true, there was no reason to boost the enemy's morale before a battle while undermining one's own.

"Since we've already been exposed, why not just attack head-on and openly? Kid, the way to conquer is to trample on everything and suppress everything!"

After speaking, Iskandar began to accumulate magical power within his body.

Zeus brought divine power, which Iskandar disliked, but this power turned out to be surprisingly useful.

Iskandar stood before the approach, his feet slightly apart and his fists clenched.

His body began to crackle with lightning, emitting a deep rumble, as if the god of thunder had descended.

Weber stood aside, watching all of this with bated breath, feeling an indescribable pressure, as if all the power in the world was concentrated on Iskandar.

Under the influence of the electric current, the air gradually began to vibrate, and the friction generated electromagnetic sparks that crackled and popped around Iskandar.

The barrier at the Ryudong Temple is a natural gap in the terrain, making any protective barrier at its weakest point.

This is something that anyone with eyes can see, and Caster would never neglect the defenses here.

Therefore, there must be countless traps waiting for those who dare to trespass here.

"Ready, kid?" Iskandar grinned, then strode forward and slammed his fist into the barrier at the entrance to the temple.

The barrier trembled violently, as if struggling and resisting, but under Iskandar's powerful force, cracks began to appear.

"The King comes to witness, the King comes to conquer!"

The stolen... no, plundered rhetoric was roared out by Iskandar.

How can the Conqueror's deeds be called theft? As the language stirred emotions, power began to be unleashed.

Iskandar's hands did not stop moving; he continued to gather lightning, each attack carrying even more ferocious power.

The cracks in the barrier are getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, under a massive impact, the barrier shattered, and the defenses of the entrance were completely breached.

Chapter 134: Evil guests come to the door

Iskandar stood before the shattered barrier, his imposing presence like that of a god.

The air was filled with the lingering aura of thunder, as if the heavens and earth were trembling with awe at his power.

Suddenly, several magical beams of light appeared before the shattered barrier, crisscrossing like a net of beams, quickly blocking Iskandar's path.

Each beam of light carried a sharp edge, shimmering with an eerie glow, as if it could pierce through any obstacle.

Something that was expected.

"Huh, what a small skill."

Iskandar sneered, and lightning erupted from his hands once more as he swung them out.

The power of thunder transformed into a dazzling beam of light, which suddenly struck the magic light trail.

The light trails rapidly disintegrated under the impact of the lightning, the flickering light gradually dimmed, and finally disappeared into the air.

The defenses at the approach to the temple were completely breached, and Iskandar's power was unstoppable.

But it wasn't over yet. Suddenly, a strange aura surged in the air, and complex magic circle patterns began to appear on the ground.

It's spatial confinement!

Caster's signature move, this technique can even immobilize Lancer in his magic-released form.

Rider is not one of the three Knight classes, and its magic resistance is not particularly outstanding.

"Rider, watch out!" Waver shouted urgently, while quickly activating his magic to try and destroy the magic circle on the ground.

However, the magic circle patterns spread rapidly, and the surrounding space began to gradually distort, forming a strange domain, as if the entire space had been locked down.

Iskandar's movements were instantly restricted, and he could no longer advance.

"Wow, you do have some tricks up your sleeve!" Even though Iskandar was bound to the spot and unable to move, he still didn't hold back his words.

Just then, Medea's figure gradually appeared inside the gate of the approach. She looked at the invading enemy with a faint smile, her eyes filled with disdain and amusement.

"As expected, some foolish little mice will sneak up tonight." Medea's voice was gentle, yet carried a chilling threat.

Weber was startled by the sudden appearance of Caster. Logically speaking, after these days of transformation, he shouldn't be the type to be so easily surprised.

The main reason is that Caster in front of me has the same aura as the old teacher at the Clock Tower.

Weber almost thought he was back in the classroom, being scolded for making a mistake.

"Well, Caster, is this how you greet me, a guest, as I arrive here?"
