Two Heroes, To the End of the Battlefield

!

!!!

Whoa! Darius III is going even more wild than before! We're back on a 1st century Roman battlefield again!

I-Is this his own private army generator again? What about you, Master? Do you sense anything!?

？！

His attacks are faster than before! He's clearly on a rampage!

Watch your magical energy consumption, Senpai. A Berserker's full power will drain a Master energy fast!

Foou! Kyuu!!

A-Anyway, let's use the same strategy as last time!

At this rate, Fujimaru won't last at all. We have to eliminate the enemy before that happens!

All right, Doctor! Senpai!

？！

Understood, Master! Commencing battle!

Not many enemies left now! Senpai, are you all right?

？！

...I'm sorry, Senpai. Hold out just a little longer, please!

!!!

Whaaaa? He's still excited after all the monsters are defeated?

Last time, he calmed down the moment they were wiped out, and we could just go back

No, Doctor. I'm afraid this time the situation is different.

There's a Servant here.

It's been a while. When was the last time we met like this?

Perhaps I'm one of the Servants you summoned? I can't be sure, since my connection has been severed.

So it's pretty hard to figure out what's going on there, sorry about that.

!!

？！

It's the opposite of what happened in Rome. Because you called to me so much

It seems I ended up being chain summoned by you. Maybe this place is still affected by the Grail?

I do have to say, your determination sure is strong. Since I'm like this, I can't really grasp the impact of my later years.

But I have nothing but respect for you. O brave king of Persia.

Darius III.

!!

Sheesh! This guy just won't stop! Young Alexander, wh-what are we gonna do?

He wants to fight me. In that case, I think I'll just have to face him.

Since how we are summoned is reversed from last time, it would be fun to also reverse our roles in life!

You'll be the one marching onward! And I shall be the one who stands in your way!

The king who will eventually stand before me, no, who stood before me, Darius III! Come!

Let's battle it out! Just how much I can fight in this form

I've always wanted to test it out! With you, my beloved rival!

!!!

Senpai, time for battle! Please hang on a little longer

？！

Yes, Master!

We defeated...him? No, something is different about thisSenpai!

I can still detect Alexander's magical energy! Wait, he was eliminated for a moment, what's this?

Did he materialize again in the same spot!? But what's there is probably a different Servant!

Different? No, this feeling...

Wahahahahaha!

How amusing! My youthful self and my former beloved rival fought! Quite exhilarating! But the outcome was expected.

Not enough! What could that young pup accomplish by relying so much on Bucephalus?

My opponent is the dauntless giant king! None other than the last king of the Achaemenid Empire, Darius III!

!!!

Ooh! Ooh! You're quite pleased to see me, I can tell!

There are none that can stand before you, not even my youthful self!

You died and transformed into a Heroic Spirit! You magnificently assimilated ten thousand soldiers, King Darius!

If anyone can defeat you It can only be me, Iskandar the Conqueror!

...Uh?!

Iskandar! It's Alexander in his later years... Without a doubt, it is the King of Conquerors!

Th-That's one incredible, super-famous hero! I didn't think the influence of the Holy Grail was still so strong in this area!

No, this has nothing to do with the Holy Grail! Someone has relentlessly insisted on calling me!

Someone none other than you! Isn't that right, Darius, my greatest rival!

!!!

No use, there's no way to stop him now! King Iskandar, please

Not to worry! Not to worry! This is why I showed up. Let's go at it with everything we've got!

!!!

Wahahahahaha!! What a joy! Let us cross swords again!

...

What's going on? Why did you suddenly turn into a tame kitten? Is that all you've got? How unsatisfying!

？！

...Senpai's magical energy is depleted. I'm afraid, anymore combat would...

...

...I see. Well, to tell the truth, I have reached my limit as well.

Not only was I not properly summoned, I was forcefully materialized without a Holy Grail

It only makes sense it turned out like this. Darius III, you are the enormous wall that stood before me.

Now that your magical energy supply is down, my voice probably won't reach you anymore

But the next time we meet, let's face each other

...

Servant Iskandar, elimination confirmed. The battle is over.

Whew. He left without causing too much trouble. Thank goodness he's the understanding type. I'm so glad.

...Yes, you're right. Any further combat is too much.

？！

Oh! Senpai!? Quick, Doctor! Rayshift!
