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

She knew that if it wasn't Kiritsugu Emiya who did it, it was his assistant.

The only difference is that if Kiritsugu Emiya violates the rules, he will be punished by the "Supervisor" and the "Judge".

However, Hisayu Maiya didn't care about taking action.

As long as they do not acknowledge that there is an employment relationship between them and emphasize that it is Hisayu Maiya's personal action, they can avoid the constraints of the rules.

This is essentially skirting the line.

However, Abel was not prepared to take a hard line and stop Kiritsugu Emiya from doing so.

Soon after, Kiritsugu Emiya and Maiya Hisau returned.

However, neither of them looked well, and Hisayu Maiya was even injured.

Lancer's master is more difficult to deal with than one might imagine.

There's no way Hisa Maiya could kill the opponent on her own.

Especially after Lancer arrived, if Kiritsugu Emiya hadn't secretly detonated his backup plan, Maiya might have perished there.

This means that Plan A has failed, and only Plan B can be implemented.

Let's take down Caster first and get the Holy Grail War back on track!

Upon learning of Irene's situation, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately devised a new plan.

"Since Caster was so mentally unstable that he mistook Saber for Joan of Arc, and even said before he ran away that he would definitely come back to find Saber."

"Then we can use this to our advantage, with Saber as bait to lure Caster out from hiding again."

"The last failure was just an accident. This time, as long as the other party shows up, there will be no way they can escape again."

Artoria didn't mind being the bait; she only had one request: she wanted to participate in the battle to defeat Caster.

Kiritsugu Emiya hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to the request after being persuaded by Irisviel.

According to Kiritsugu Emiya's original plan, all that was needed was to lure Caster out, and the rest would be handled by other Masters and Servants.

They should take this opportunity to plan an attack on Lancer.

But Saber clearly wouldn't agree to such a despicable plan.

So he simply stopped mentioning it.

late at night.

Artoria and the others suddenly awoke!

A powerful magical force spread outwards without any attempt to conceal it.

It's like telling everyone, "I'm right here, come find me."

"It's Caster!"

"What scheme is this guy plotting now?"

After everyone got dressed, they immediately headed towards the source of the magic.

The Weiyuan River was inexplicably shrouded in thick fog.

When Abel and his companions arrived, Lancer Diarmuid Ua Ua Duibhne and Iskandar the Conqueror had already arrived.

It's unclear who Assassin is; he might be hiding nearby.

Archer and Berserker have still not shown up.

Just then, the fog in the middle of the river dissipated slightly, and Gilles de Rais's figure appeared clearly in front of everyone.

"Judging from this unusual magical emission, the other party is undoubtedly unleashing some kind of large-scale magic."

Artoria's expression was somewhat serious.

At the same time, Jill had clearly noticed them on the shore.

However, it seems that he only has eyes for Joan of Arc, also known as Artoria.

"Welcome, Holy Maiden!"

"It is an honor to see you again."

Gilles bowed gracefully in Artoria's direction.

"You never learn your lesson! What are you planning to do now, you fiend?"

In response to Joan of Arc's loud rebuke, Gilles made an extremely blasphemous declaration.

"I'm so sorry, Joan of Arc, you are not the guest of honor tonight."

"However, if you would be so kind as to join us, I would be extremely pleased."

"A decadent and deathly feast hosted by Gilles de Rais!"

"I hope you enjoy yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, numerous tentacles extended from Jill's feet, enveloping his entire body.

Then, an enormous sea monster suddenly rose slowly from the river.

Under everyone's gaze, Jill became completely one with it.

But Jill's voice still travels far.

"At this moment, we once again raise the banner of salvation. All those who have been abandoned are welcome to gather here!"

"I will lead and command you."

“The voices of resentment uttered by us who have been abandoned will surely reach the ears of God.”

"Lord in heaven, I will praise your name with rebuke!"

"Proud God! Cold-hearted God! We will drag you down from your throne!!!"

Caster is acting like a madman, blaspheming against the gods.

Abel, however, didn't care about what the guy said, but only reminded everyone, "This giant sea monster is obviously still powered by Caster's Noble Phantasm. But once it comes ashore and starts hunting, it will be very difficult to deal with."

Artoria understood what he meant and continued, "So the best way right now is to take care of it before it gets ashore, right?"

Diarmuid: "As long as I can find that guy's true form, I can use [Red Rose of Exorcism] to dispel his spell with just one strike."

Iskandar nodded: "Then the battle plan is clear. I can contain this sea monster from the air. [The Arbitrator] will be responsible for finding Caster's true form, and Lancer will be responsible for delivering the final blow."

Artoria was immediately displeased. "I can join the battle too."

Iskandar hesitated, "How do you fight on the water?"

Artoria smiled proudly, "I am blessed by the Lady of the Lake, and no matter how deep the water is, it cannot stop my progress."

"That's possible..."

"No need to go to such trouble."

Suddenly Abel stepped forward, bent down and squatted on the riverbank, stretching out his hands.

"I'll create a more favorable combat environment."

"Ice Age!"

An endless stream of icy energy erupted from Abel's hand, instantly freezing the river surface it touched, and then spreading outwards at an extremely fast speed.

It didn't take long for the entire river to freeze completely!

The Conqueror King and his men were stunned, their expressions filled with utter shock!

Chapter 849 The Dragon's Son and Emojis

"A body tempered through countless trials, capable of unleashing the fist of a golden dragon, and possessing such terrifying ice power... Can you tell me, who exactly is he?"

"Conqueror King" Iskandar couldn't help but ask.

While true names are important to the heroic spirits who descend, some do not take them seriously.

For example, Iskandar, who introduced himself right away, is one of them.

However, without Abel's consent, neither Artoria nor Irisviel answered the question, but instead looked at... Illya.

"Sure, Abel doesn't mind people knowing about his past, but he prefers the name Gustavus Abel now, so please don't call him by the wrong name later."

Following Abel's own wishes, Ilya revealed the Heroic Spirit identity that Abel had fabricated.

Some people then suddenly realized what was going on.

"So he is the King of Romania, the real body of the legendary vampire count Dracula. No wonder he possesses the power of a dragon."

Dracula means son of the dragon!

Furthermore, according to legend, Dracula possessed many different supernatural abilities.

For example, the combined power of 20 adult men could allow them to levitate, use hypnosis, telepathy, and hallucinations.

It can command various animals such as mice, owls, bats, moths, foxes, and wolves.

It can also manipulate the weather, causing storms and fog, and even change its shape at will.

It seems that everything matches up except for the power of ice.

Even the unfamiliar name Gustavus Abel was interpreted by them with other meanings.

For example, someone might dislike being forced into the identity of a vampire, but because they become a Heroic Spirit, the vampire identity becomes an inseparable part of them.

Out of necessity, it simply arrived under a completely new name.

It's possible that even its current appearance is a result of alteration.

"Now I understand why this guy suddenly appeared that night and even fought with that 'Hero King'."

Lancer Diarmuid Audina couldn't help but make a comment.

The Conqueror King and his companions were taken aback at first, then recalled what Gilgamesh had said when he appeared... and immediately couldn't help but laugh.

you do not say!

Gilgamesh said at the time: "What a joke! The only one in heaven and earth who is truly qualified to be king is me. The rest are just some mediocre monstrous beings."
