King Hassan vs Ozymandias (FGO)

Nitocris:

Pharaoh Ozymandias, who is this King Hassan?

Ozymandias:

The chieftain of the Old Men of the Mountain, and an opponent that I’ve been as cautious of as the Lion King.
The protection of this Great Temple is not the only reason I avoided an all-out war with the Lion King.
When I expanded the desert, I made enemies of the mountain folk. It happened right afterward.

I was drafting my military plans alone in the throne room, when there was a flash of lightning behind me.
When I turned to face that chilling aura, there stood a man… the first Old Man of the Mountain.
It was all over by the time I noticed. With his splendid swordsmanship, he took my head clean off.
I answered him with all my might, but he simply melted away into the shadows.



Mash:

He decapitated you… Ahh! Senpai, it was that! That one time!
When we first met!
How are you still alive!?



Ozymandias:

Indeed, my foe performed an assassination worthy of the gods themselves. If it had occurred outside of this temple… I would have truly lost my head. After that, I couldn’t move while I was healing the wound. I was almost finished recovering when you visited this temple the first time.

Good grief…Had you told me you were working with him, I would have helped you right away.
That’s what I mean by wasted effort. You could have settled all this without fighting me.

Sanzang:

That’s true. But aren’t you glad we did?

Ozymandias:

Again, don’t make me admit it. There are things which you cannot know until you try them, and all that.
As the king of the gods, I can only take so much embarrassment, you know.
