One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Kotomine Riko's expression froze for a moment, and she quickly said, "But Assassin is already out."

"Out of the game? Then why has this guy been watching me ever since I walked in?"

Abel sneered and suddenly reached out and pointed at a dark corner of the church.

Dark water!

The powerful suction immediately pulled out a short man dressed as an Assassin!

Kotomine Risei's lie was instantly exposed!

Chapter 842 Stripping the Command Seals, Driving Away!

Assassin's ability to 'conceal one's aura' is arguably his signature skill.

When hiding and lying in ambush, they can completely conceal their presence, making them almost impossible to detect.

It will only be temporarily ineffective if it reveals murderous intent or launches an attack.

Including last night's battle, which Assassin witnessed the entire time, no Servant except Abel noticed.

However, by sheer coincidence, Kiritsugu Emiya spotted it while sniping.

This is very embarrassing...

The reason Abel was able to discern Assassin's location was certainly not due to any special power of the "Judgment".

It is a completely new application of Observation Haki combined with the power of shadow.

It's like how Enel developed the 'Mind Network' by using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Abel was already very sensitive to the power of shadows, and the other party insisted on hiding in dark places, wasn't that just handing himself over to them?

So he sucked the person out without any hesitation.

However, he kept his persona in mind and did not make a move directly. Instead, he looked at Father Kotomine Risei with a half-smile.

"I heard Assassin is out? What happened to him then?"

Kotomine Risei's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately and righteously distanced himself from the matter, saying, "I don't know what happened either. At the time, I only saw Archer kill Assassin through my familiar, so I assumed Assassin was out, that's all."

"Looking back now, I think I may have been deceived."

Abel suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Let me see... Hmm... Hassan Sabah, the nineteenth leader of the assassination order who inherited the name 'Hassan Sabah.' So he's the 'Hundred Faces' Hassan with the Shadow Legion."

"No wonder he could fool the priest."

Abel revealed all of Assassin's origins in just a few words, causing Kotomine Risei to clench his fists unconsciously.

It's worth noting that quite a few people are paying attention to this situation right now.

Five familiars were crouching guarding the church entrance.

It seems all Masters are concerned about this suddenly appearing "Arbitrator" and want to know what's going on.

In this situation, Kotomine Risei absolutely must not panic!

Be calm!

The short Assassin, one of the 'Hundred Faces' Hassan, seemed to want to kill the little girl.

Regardless of whether the other party is a "Judgmentalist", they are no longer a threat once the Master dies.

But just as he was about to make his move, he received an order from his Master, Kirei Kotomine, to retreat immediately.

Through those probes just now, we can almost confirm the identity of the other party, the "arbitrator".

According to the information revealed last night.

It seems that the "arbitrator" cannot initiate an attack on others unless attacked by the attacker.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have just exposed Assassin; they would have attacked him directly.

Therefore, if the short Assassin takes the initiative to attack, it will only force the opponent to meet the 'conditions for attacking'.

This is the most foolish thing to do!

And so the little Assassin immediately vanished as a heroic spirit.

Abel was somewhat disappointed upon seeing this. "So you're just running away like that? What a pity."

Kotomine Risuke's eyelids twitched. What a pity? What's a pity?

It's a pity we couldn't take action?

I really don't know how the Holy Grail works to make such a dangerous guy the "arbiter".

"So next... what does the priest plan to do with Assassin's Master? Anyone who tries to exploit loopholes in the Holy Grail War rules must pay the price."

"If the priest is unable to intervene, I will exercise my authority as the [Adjudicator] and issue a kill order against Assassin!"

Now that Abel has said all that, even if Kotomine Risei wanted to favor his son, he couldn't.

Moreover, so many Masters' familiars are waiting outside for a result.

He thought for a moment and said, "Although Assassin's Master did deceive me, he actually stayed in the church during his protection period and did not do anything out of line. That is forgivable."

"But their actions do violate the rules of the Holy Grail War and they must be punished!"

"Therefore, I have decided that, from this moment forward, the Master of Assassin shall be expelled from the Church and stripped of all three of his Command Seals, as a warning to others."

"Your Excellency, [Ruler], do you think this approach is acceptable?"

Abel knew how much the old man doted on his son, and it was almost impossible to get him to punish him any further.

However, he couldn't afford to fall out with the other party right now, so he decided to make a note of it for the time being.

"The priest can decide for himself. I still have to fulfill my duty and find the true reason why the Holy Grail called me down."

Kotomine Risei immediately feigned surprise, asking knowingly, "Huh? Isn't the real reason that the Assassin's Master violated the rules of the Holy Grail War?"

Abel looked at the other person meaningfully and said, "When you find one cockroach in your house, it means that hundreds of cockroaches have already settled in your house and are living and eating with you."

"I don't think that the fact that the Assassin's Master violated the rules of the Holy Grail War is enough for me to descend as the [Arbitrator] class. There must be something more serious going on."

"Therefore, I hope that the priest can assist me in my investigation as an overseer."

Kotomine Risatsu's expression was serious: "It is my duty, and I cannot shirk it!"

"Then let's take our leave now."

After Abel left with Ilya, all the familiars flew away as well.

Kotomine Risei's expression immediately turned very gloomy.

At that moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka's voice suddenly rang out, "Do you think this 'Judge' is real?"

Kotomine Rissho nodded. "It's basically certain that neither his ability to find Assassins by ignoring 'Presence Concealment' nor his ability to discern the true names of Heroic Spirits are things that ordinary Servants cannot possess."

"Moreover, Assassin has only appeared in front of everyone once, making it almost impossible for anyone to guess his identity."

Tokiomi Tohsaka paused for a moment, then said, "So, do you think the other side already knows something?"

"They must have some suspicions, but they're neither sure nor have any evidence, which is why they kept testing me like that."

"Yes, it's a bit troublesome and tricky..."

"Sigh, not only has the original plan fallen through, but I will also be suspected by many people."

Kotomine Risuke's tone was somewhat melancholy.

"Thank you for your trouble, Father. And please convey my apologies to Kirito as well."

What else could Kotomine Risei say? Having chosen this path, he could only go all the way to the end.

However, he still had one trump card up his sleeve.

He rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing numerous Command Seals patterns etched onto it.

Those are all Command Seals left behind by the Masters of previous Holy Grail Wars, and he keeps them safe.

Moreover, these Command Seals can be transferred to others!

He would first make a show of consuming Kirei Kotomine's Command Seals and driving him away.

I'll add the Command Seals to my son later.

perfect!

Kotomine Risuke sneered, "So what if you really are the [Judge]?"

Chapter 843 Team Up to Farm Caster!

boom! ! !

An entire floor of a five-star hotel was blown up by a bomb!

The terrifying flames shattered all the windows, and thick, black smoke stretched outwards incessantly.

And the one who started all of this was none other than Kiritsugu Emiya, who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

After confirming that Lancer's Master was staying at this hotel and had not left.

He immediately took his assistants and planted powerful bombs on the entire floor of the hotel where he was staying.

The intention is to rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Kill the opponent using the safest method.

Even such a drastic approach will result in many innocent victims.

But Kiritsugu Emiya remained completely unmoved.

"Operation is over, go back."

In such a chaotic situation, they were unable to ascertain the condition of the Lancer Master.

However, there is another way to confirm this.

That is to see if the curse on Saber's left hand has disappeared.
