"Hmph!" Gilgamesh lifted his head high and sneered, "Servant classes mean nothing to this king. My name is the only class that matters."
Bai Ye asked, "Then why not be a swordsman? Or a knight would be good too? It fits a king's status better!"
Gilgamesh retorted, "Insects are not worthy of the right to touch this king's body so casually."
Bai Ye propped his chin, taking a moment to understand the meaning behind his words – that ordinary people lacked the qualification to engage him in battle.
Bai Ye glanced at Gilgamesh. Whether others were qualified to fight him was unknown, but when it came to showing off, they certainly weren't qualified to compete with him.
"Then, the last question," Bai Ye said. "Didn't we reach an agreement? Why haven't you acted yet?"
Gilgamesh spread his hands. "Where is this king's wine and food?"
"You..." Bai Ye was speechless, waving his hand in resignation. "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you there now!"
They headed to the towering hotel, to the best presidential suite, and then all the most expensive dishes were served, with wines costing a hundred thousand per bottle, all laid out before Gilgamesh.
Bai Ye asked, "Are you satisfied now?"
Gilgamesh held his wine glass, swirling it gently, looking at the deep red liquid within.
"Not bad," Gilgamesh said after taking a sip. "You find the others, and I will kill them."
"That would be for the best," Bai Ye replied. "Enjoy yourself. I'll be next door."
After speaking, Bai Ye left Gilgamesh's suite.
"What kind of karma did I create in my past life," Bai Ye lamented, "to summon such a thing."
Bai Ye felt he was too miserable. He wasn't a Master right now; he was clearly a servant!
This was definitely not the proper way to start a Holy Grail War.
Normally, shouldn't he have summoned a blonde, busty girl who was devoted to him, fought bravely in battles, and offered him headrests and cuddles in his daily life!
"Forget it!" Bai Ye slapped his forehead. "At least in some aspects, Gilgamesh is quite good."
In some aspects...
He meant the rewards!
Bai Ye didn't know why the chosen one who triggered the wish-granting mission chose to receive a Noble Phantasm as a reward for summoning a Heroic Spirit.
However, judging by the current situation, Gilgamesh's greatest joy in the epic chapters was accumulating treasures, so he should have many good items on him.
Therefore, if Bai Ye won the Holy Grail War, his chances of obtaining good things would significantly increase.
As Bai Ye pondered this, he entered the adjacent room and threw himself onto the bed.
So tired!
First, there was the continuous journey, followed by the battle at the altar. After finally finishing, he was immediately thrown into the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
Bai Ye's nerves had been constantly taut, and he was feeling a sense of fatigue.
Lying on the bed, Bai Ye first looked at the mission rewards for completing the Ancient Mech Giant quest.
Shard of Dawn's Heart (Item) (White): A stone holding mysterious power, allowing entry into the Primordial Domain.
First Floor Entry Permit for Hero's Tomb (Item) (Blue): Upon reaching the Hero's Tomb, you will be granted permission to enter the first floor (this permit can be upgraded).
Shard of Dawn's Heart...
This thing was essentially a pass to a forbidden zone. With it, one could enter the Primordial Domain restricted area.
However, Bai Ye had no interest in that place for the time being, as going there now would only invite trouble.
But getting the pass was definitely a good thing; he could go whenever he wanted, or even sell it if necessary.
As for the entry permit for the first floor of the Hero's Tomb, it was something Bai Ye wanted, but not entirely what he wanted.
Because Bai Ye's target was not the first floor, but the third!
The Heroic Spirit's possession abilities in the Heroic Zone also had tiers, with the highest being gold quality.
The Hero's Tomb had three floors, the first floor undoubtedly housing the lowest-tier heroes, while the third floor was filled with gold-quality ones.
The reason Bai Ye could confirm this was because in his previous life, he had obtained Sikong Zhen's possession ability, which came from the third floor.
Therefore, obtaining the permit for the first floor was just a start. This permit could be upgraded, and Bai Ye's goal was to upgrade it to an entry permit for the third floor of the Hero's Tomb.
Since these two items were not immediately useful, Bai Ye didn't think much of them, put them away, and started his gacha draws.
The result...
Another uneventful day.
One blue gacha, one green gacha...
He even got a shard of Divine Stone as a bonus, trading it for a useless mech part.
However, at least it could be used for feeding.
"Steel Slime," Bai Ye said, "Devour."
"Steel Slime devouring..."
"Steel Slime devouring and growing..."
...
"Steel Slime devoured the Ultra-High Tensile Steel Armor and gained Devour Growth."
"Steel Slime's Devour Growth: Current growth value: 13120 / 100000"
...
It felt good to find a bug, but perhaps because it was just an item, the growth value after devouring the Ultra-High Tensile Steel Armor was not as much as the Demon's Robe last time.
Still, a growth value of over ten thousand was acceptable. In ten days, by spending ten Divine Stone Shards, the Steel Slime could be upgraded to black quality.
Finally, a hint of regret. Seven-Colored Rainbow had been rendered useless. That set of seven flying swords was quite useful.
As Bai Ye mused, he yawned, intending to get some sleep.
But at that moment...
Several black shadows appeared by the living room's floor-to-ceiling window.
Just as Bai Ye rolled over to pull up the covers...
Crash!
The shadows suddenly slammed into the floor-to-ceiling window, shattering it.
The sound of breaking glass echoed jarringly.
"What's going on?"
Bai Ye's senses snapped to attention. He then sat up from the bed and quickly moved to the bedroom door, kicking it open.
The next instant, a black shadow lunged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye swiftly dodged to the side, and the dark mass crashed into the adjacent wall.
Bai Ye looked back and frowned, "Bones?"
What hit the wall was a skeletal frame, appearing human, but with a skull like that of a lizard.
The Steel Slime immediately wriggled on Bai Ye's face, forming a Predator-like bio-mask.
Dragon Tooth Soldier (Summon) (Green): A summoned creature crafted from a medium, commonly used by Casters.
...
Creak, creak, creak...
As Bai Ye was checking the information, more Dragon Tooth Soldiers broke in from the living room, their mouths opening and closing with crisp clicking sounds.
Then...
They lunged towards Bai Ye!
