Sword Art Online Crossover: They're all close friends, how did I become a player?

As a kingly spirit, the Conqueror King has naturally seen countless loyal subjects.

However, he was surprised to find so many vassals loyal to the same person during this Fourth Holy Grail War.

The speed at which those two boys appeared and the murderous aura they exuded piqued the Conqueror King's interest in the lord they spoke of. It was truly intriguing.

Seeing that neither of the two people he wanted to recruit were interested, and that both had lords they were loyal to, the Conqueror King had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​recruiting talent with some disappointment.

It seems the talks have fallen through, but oh well, he didn't have high hopes anyway.

Then, the Conqueror King spread his arms wide and shouted domineeringly: "Saber and Lancer, those who fight honorably like you are the true heroes! What kind of heroes are those who hide in the shadows! All the heroic spirits attracted by your battle, gather here now! Those cowards who are afraid to show their faces, I, Iskandar, will despise you!"

Wow, so Rider is such a... uh, a heroic spirit?

Holding a milk tea, Yu Bai had just walked near the container when he heard Conqueror King's deafening voice.

However, once these words are spoken, someone will definitely not be able to stand it, right?

Sure enough, as soon as the Conqueror King finished speaking, a burst of golden spiritual light suddenly shone on the street lamp behind him.

A figure clad in golden armor slowly emerged from the light, accompanied by a cold and arrogant voice.

"I never expected that two of those rats who ignored my existence and called themselves kings would actually run out in one night."

"What you're saying doesn't make any sense."

The Conqueror King turned to look at the heroic spirit behind him, his golden hair flowing in the wind, and his scarlet, dangerous eyes. He spoke casually.

“I, Iskandar, am also known as the King of Conquerors.”

However, Waver Velvet, who had been standing beside the King of Conquerors, could clearly feel that his Heroic Spirit's body was tense, as if he would attack instantly at the slightest movement from the other side.

"Ha, what a joke! The only one in heaven and earth truly worthy of being called the King of Heroes is me! You are nothing but a bunch of unruly trash." The golden-armored hero spirit laughed arrogantly, instantly attracting the hatred of all the heroes present.

Wow, Jill's mouth is as good at attracting hatred as ever.

This reminded Yu Bai of the time when he first arrived in Uruk, when he was always annoyed by Jill and would beat her up.

But this guy always laughs heartily while fighting with him, often leaving Yu Bai wondering whether fighting with this guy is punishing himself or rewarding the other party.

"Now that things have come to this point, shouldn't you introduce yourself and say your name? Since you're also a king, surely you wouldn't be too afraid to even state your own name?" the Conqueror King provoked.

"Ask me? How utterly displeasing! You worthless scum, how dare you ask my name? After beholding the glory of the king, you cannot even recognize me? You fools are not worthy to live in this world!"

Gilgamesh was enraged, and golden ripples began to slowly appear behind him, the tips of several weapons instantly pointing at the Conqueror King below.

He looked down at the crowd, his gaze as if he were looking at dust on the ground; in his eyes, everyone was nothing more than a bunch of ants.

No, there is one more person who is different.

To this day, only one person's image can be seen, and only one person can make him think of him all the time.

My dear friend, the thought of you living a lonely life from now on brings tears to my eyes. I miss you so much.

Standing on the streetlight, Hero Wang's thoughts drifted back to the time when his best friend was still alive, a time when he was so happy.

Gilgamesh was momentarily stunned, but to others who did not know his personality, the atmosphere around this heroic spirit standing high on the street lamp was terrifyingly low.

"So, that's your reason for standing on the streetlight?"

Just as the atmosphere became tense and everyone was on guard, a very gentle voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. However, the words spoken made everyone who heard them freeze in surprise.

Hey, who's so brave?

How dare you say such a thing in front of this seemingly golden and furious Heroic Spirit?

That's a true warrior!

"Master!"

"Lord!"

The two titles rang in everyone's ears the moment that gentle voice appeared.

Then, Lancer and the three men wielding swords rushed toward the figure that appeared from around the corner of the container.

It was him? So he was Lancer's Master? And also the master of those three?

King Arthur had seen Yu Bai during the day, so she recognized him the moment that green figure appeared.

Then, a thought flashed through Artoria's mind: Only a boy like this could become the person they all serve.

Unlike the astonishment of the others, Gilgamesh suddenly seemed to see something incredible; his pupils contracted sharply, and his expression changed drastically.

But then, joy replaced the anger that had filled his red eyes. At this moment, Gilgamesh could only see that one green figure.

Slowly, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and a terrifying aura began to emanate from him.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ Hahahahahaha!"

This change instantly put everyone present on alert.

King Arthur rushed to Irisviel's side and shielded her behind him. The Conqueror King also subtly moved closer to his young Master.

Diarmuid, wielding dual pistols, looked warily at the Heroic Spirit standing atop the lamppost. The magical energy around him pulsed incessantly, as if he would attack without hesitation should the golden-glowing Heroic Spirit make the slightest move against his Master.

Hasebe, Namazuo, and Honebami stood in different positions beside Yu Bai, protecting him closely.

Upon seeing the people standing next to Yu Bai and their positions, Gilgamesh, who had been laughing wildly, instantly turned gloomy.

His red eyes swept over the four of them with a slightly sinister look, his gaze lingering on Diarmuid for a moment.

Upon realizing that his best friend had a summoning contract with this Heroic Spirit whom he considered inferior to him in every way, golden light began to faintly reappear in the air behind Gilgamesh, which had returned to calm.

……

Gilgamesh: Apart from myself and my closest friends, everyone else is a mere mortal. The one who can truly be called the King of Heroes, in heaven and on earth, is none other than me!

Other Servants: Rage +10 +10 +10 +10...

Yu Bai: Wow~ This familiar verbal sparring skill, it's been so long since I've heard it. And is this your reason for standing under the streetlight?
