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

puff!

A dozen ice spikes instantly shot up from the ground, turning the Assassin who had sneered earlier into a swarm of thorns.

The corpse hung there, as if it had been subjected to the torture of piercing!

The group of Assassins seemed to be terrified, and just watched helplessly as Abel dragged the half-dead Berserker away.

Gilgamesh clenched his fists. Next time, next time, he would definitely use Ea to cut off this guy's head!

Let him understand what the consequences will be if he offends the King of Heroes!

However, before that, he needs to find a more obedient Master.

If it weren't for those two Command Seals, he wouldn't have lost face twice.

Fortunately, Tokiomi only had one Command Seal left.

It shouldn't be used indiscriminately unless absolutely necessary.

"No rush, let him be arrogant for a few days first."

Gilgamesh glanced at Tokiomi, who had completely dropped his pretense, and strode forward without uttering a single word.

And just a few minutes ago.

Irisviel and Illya, who were hiding, were suddenly attacked by the Assassins!

At the critical moment, fortunately, Abel's pre-planned backup plan, Shadow Requiem, emerged from the shadows in time to block the dagger for Irisviel.

That's how they prevented the other party from succeeding.

Startled, Irisviel quickly realized what had happened and then manipulated the silver threads to cast a spell that forced the enemy back.

But that was just one of the enemies.

After Assassin #1 failed, one after another Assassin emerged from the darkness around them.

Upon closer inspection, there are approximately 11 people.

Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that there are still people hiding in the shadows.

"Oops!"

Irisviel shielded Ilya behind her and used magic to weave the silver eagle, Holmkrus!

However, faced with so many Assassins, she didn't dare to take the initiative.

A Servant is, after all, a Servant; their strength far surpasses that of their Master.

"What are you trying to do? The Holy Grail War has been suspended. Are you not afraid of being punished by the [Arbitrators] if you attack us now?!"

Upon hearing this, Assassin's laughter immediately came from all directions.

Then, as if playing a word chain game, each person took turns saying:

"Caster has been confirmed dead."

"The Holy Grail War has begun again."

"That's why we took action..."

"It's not considered a violation."

"not to mention……"

“We don’t care about any [arbitrator] at all.”

"die!"

……

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding Assassins swarmed forward.

Irisviel gritted her teeth, about to control the Silver Hawk to attack, when she saw the strange shadow figure step forward and protect them behind her.

The next moment, [Shadow Requiem] seemed to open its mouth and let out a silent roar.

A strange fluctuation swept across the entire area in an instant, but no one sensed anything unusual.

"Take care of this damn thing first!"

Irisviel and her daughter could be killed at any time, so to be on the safe side, it was natural to kill this strange thing in front of them first.

The Shadow Requiem looked rather silly and reacted very dullly, simply letting the Assassins around him send weapons into his body.

They've got it!

The moment this thought crossed the minds of these Assassins, fatal wounds instantly appeared on their bodies.

Some had their heads blown open, some had their hearts pierced, and some had their throats slit...

If you look closely, you'll find that each person died in exactly the same way as the injuries they inflicted on [Shadow Requiem].

It's as if [Shadow Requiem] reflected all the damage back!

And the facts are indeed quite similar.

The silent roar of [Shadow Requiem] just now was not just for show; it was the inner shadow of all beings within its range that it received and became.

While in this state, attacking [Shadow Requiem] is considered an attack on yourself.

At the same time, [Shadow Requiem] is immune to any form of damage.

This led to that astonishing scene just now!

Of the 11 Assassins, 8 were killed instantly!

Only three remained, and they were also frightened, no longer daring to make any rash moves.

Because they simply couldn't figure out what had just happened.

Why did he die?

And why does this strange thing look completely fine?

Irisviel and her daughter were stunned by what they saw.

I never expected Abel's backup plan to be so effective.

By the way, what did Abel say again?

Is this his shadow?

Even his shadow is this powerful?!

Irisviel looked delighted, and Ilya's eyes also sparkled.

“Abel is the Servant I summoned!”

So Abel performed very well, and Ilya felt very proud.

I felt a sense of pride, like Kobe and I combined for 81 points!

Just as Assassin was hesitant to make a move, Artoria finally arrived and killed one of them with a single sword strike.

The remaining two must have received orders from their Master and immediately fled.

"We finally made it! Are you all alright?"

Irisviel shook her head and said gratefully, "Thanks to Mr. Shadow, whom Abel left behind."

Chapter 858 The War Begins Again!

"Mr. Shadow?"

Artoria paused for a moment, then looked at the shadow figure who looked very much like Abel, her eyes showing surprise.

That guy actually possesses such an ability?

Artoria was becoming increasingly curious about Abel.

However, the best outcome is that nothing bad happened.

Immediately afterwards, Kiritsugu Emiya arrived anxiously with his assistant, Maiya.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his wife and daughter were safe.

Especially after learning that Abel's backup plan had saved them, his expression changed drastically.

Just then, Abel returned.

In order not to reveal any other trump cards, he didn't even directly exchange positions with [Shadow Requiem].

"Abel~"

Ilya abandoned her father and ran over to him.

Abel immediately crouched down, opened his arms, and put Ilya on his shoulder.

Ilya also let out a silvery laugh.

“Ilya and Mr. Abel have a really good relationship.”

Irisviel couldn't help but sigh.

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded, then thanked Abel earnestly.

Although the other party's starting point was to protect their Master.

But the result was that he saved his wife and daughter.

Provided they weren't on opposing sides, he certainly wouldn't hesitate to express his gratitude.

Abel had nothing to be modest about; he accepted the thanks perfectly well.

After everyone had arrived, they all returned to their lodgings together.

Emiya Kiritsugu immediately began to review the situation.

"It is now confirmed that Caster and his Master are both dead. And Caster was ultimately killed by Saber, which means that the reward for defeating Caster will also belong to us. I will go to the church tomorrow."

Everyone nodded in unison.

This is the best possible outcome.
