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

Artoria's left-hand curse was lifted, and she successfully defeated Caster, obtaining a reward and acquiring a new trump card.

As for Kiritsugu Emiya showing up... it doesn't matter anymore.

However, the fact that he used Lancer's chivalry to morally blackmail the other party was like a thorn in Artoria's heart.

However, given the circumstances at the time, it seemed to be the best option.

This put Artoria in a difficult position, so she simply stood aside without saying a word.

Kiritsugu Emiya continued, "Rider was killed by Archer. The King of Heroes' strength is indeed not to be underestimated, especially that Ea, which is a powerful Noble Phantasm that is no less powerful than Saber's Excalibur. We must be careful about this."

"But the good news is that Tokiomi Tohsaka only has one Command Seal left, and King Hero is a very difficult Servant to control. Without enough Command Seals, Tokiomi Tohsaka probably won't be able to make King Hero act according to his will anymore."

"Furthermore, judging from what Saber has seen, the King of Heroes seems to be very dissatisfied with Tokiomi Tohsaka using Command Spells to control him. There is a serious discord between the Master and the Servant, which is undoubtedly more advantageous to us."

Irisviel glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya and the silent Saber, thinking to herself, "It's not just Tokiomi Tohsaka and the King of Heroes who have serious disagreements between Master and Servant; you two are the same."

Unfortunately, this is not the right occasion to bring it up.

And saying it won't make a difference.

This discord has been going on for more than just a day or two.

"By the way, how's the Berserker who crashed the party doing?"

Emiya Kiritsugu asked as if he had just remembered something.

At this moment, Abel, who had lulled Illya to sleep, entered the room and answered his question: "I've already dealt with him. During the truce in the campaign against Caster, Berserker attacked Lancer, Saber, and Archer, ignoring the rules of the Holy Grail War. As the [Arbitrator], I eliminated him, removing him from the competition."

"I will go to the church with you tomorrow to explain this matter to the [Overseer]."

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. "In that case, Caster, Rider, and Berserker are the first to be eliminated. Eliminating three Servants at once is more intense than any previous Holy Grail War."

Kiritsugu's words were indeed true, and it was certainly clear at the moment that this Holy Grail War was very unusual.

"Among the remaining four groups, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine are in cahoots, Assassin has become Archer's lackey, and it is difficult for us to form an alliance with Lancer. In fact, Lancer's Master is very hostile towards us."

The situation is somewhat unfavorable for them.

Kiritsugu Emiya frowned; he personally preferred to deal with Lancer or Assassin first.

Finally, he will face off against the King of Heroes.

It would be even better if both could be solved at the same time.

But Saber needs help...

Oh, right, a helper!

Kiritsugu Emiya suddenly looked up at Abel.

"In the end, Saber defeated Caster. So, may I now inquire about your Noble Phantasm's abilities?"

"Although the official distribution of the reward is scheduled for tomorrow, under the witness of the [Overseer], your request is not excessive. I can grant it, but only if you, as the Master, and Saber are aware of it."

Masters and Servants are usually considered as one, so this reward is something that both Masters and Servants are eligible to use.

"Okay, let's go next door."

"I'm not going."

Artoria had no interest in knowing, nor did she need a reward, so she simply ignored it.

Kiritsugu Emiya was even less concerned; Artoria's attitude did not affect his plans at all.

So Abel and Kiritsugu Emiya went to the next room.

No one knows exactly what the two talked about.

In short, when he came out, Kiritsugu Emiya was even more confident.

Then his plan can proceed smoothly.

The next day.

Abel took Illya and Kiritsugu Emiya to the church.

Kotomine Risei, as the [Overseer], was already waiting for their arrival.

Although she had a smile on her face, she must have been putting on a very difficult act.

After all, this outcome was completely different from what he and Tokiomi had planned.

But there's no way to deny it.

You can't blame anyone else.

It's because the Hero King is so headstrong and doesn't listen to reason.

Having such a follower is exhausting.

With Kotomine Risei and Abel as witnesses, Kotomine Risei reluctantly smiled as he transferred the two Command Seals to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Abel, in the name of the "arbitrator," also bestowed a reward.

Whenever Kiritsugu Emiya needs him, he will unconditionally unleash his Noble Phantasm once.

This is enough to turn the tide of the battle!

Finally, Abel and Rissei Kotomine jointly announced that the Holy Grail War would continue.

As Abel and his companions left the church, the three familiars flew away at the same time.

It is believed that the news has already reached the ears of their respective Masters.

In front of the gramophone in the church, Kotomine Risei was still communicating with Tohsaka Tokiomi, discussing their next steps.

Kotomine Risei: "Command Seals are fine, but the right to use a Noble Phantasm once by the [Judge] is too fatal. We have to trick them into revealing this trump card."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "You're right. It's worth sacrificing the Assassin for this."

Kotomine Risei: "I will instruct Kirei, and he will take care of things."

Chapter 859 A Green Head

After Kotomine Risei and Tohsaka Tokiomi finished their secret plot, Kotomine Kirei, having received orders, quickly found Lancer's Master Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald through Assassin.

And the familiar made its first contact with it.

"Assassin's Master? You want to team up with me to fight Saber?"

Kenneth wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that the other party wanted to use him.

Once Saber is successfully defeated, he will be the next one to suffer.

The alliance between Archer and Assassin's Masters is no secret.

But Kenneth did not immediately refuse; instead, he said he would think about it.

If the other party wants to take advantage of him, wouldn't he also want to take advantage of the other party in return?

Saber was already difficult to deal with, but now she has the right to use the Noble Phantasm "The Arbiter" once, which gives her a huge advantage.

If we can take advantage of the opportunity to team up with Assassin to trick Saber out of her trump card, or even kill Assassin...

Then the situation becomes much clearer.

Despite his strength, the King of Heroes is not without a chance in a 2-on-2 situation.

Kenneth is very confident in his own abilities.

As long as that traitor Diarmuid can hold off the King of Heroes for a while, allowing him to kill Tokiomi Tohsaka first.

Victory is within our grasp!

Speaking of which... where is Diarmuid?

Outside the door, Diarmuid had been kneeling with his head bowed ever since he returned with Kenneth.

Whether it was out of chivalry, admiration for the King of Knights, or some other reason.

He disobeyed his Master's orders.

For Diarmuid, who values ​​loyalty above all else, this was undoubtedly an unforgivable mistake.

So he knelt here, punishing himself.

No matter how much Kenneth insulted him, trampled on him, or tried to teach him a lesson, he remained silent, letting the other party vent his anger.

He only asked Kenneth to give him one last chance for redemption, to let him fight Saber!

He promised that he would defeat Saber with chivalry!

But Kenneth wouldn't listen to him at all and just let him kneel there.

“Diarmuid, you’ve been kneeling here for a day and a night. Get up now, and I’ll plead with Kenneth on your behalf.”

A beautiful woman with red hair was standing beside him, trying to persuade him.

If you look closely, you'll notice that when this woman looks at Diarmuid, her eyes often unconsciously shift, revealing a deep and infatuated affection.

But she is Kenneth's fiancée!

Yet another pathetic woman influenced by Diarmuid's charm.

"No need, I will earn my Lord's understanding with sincerity."

Diarmuid was very indifferent to women, and he only offered his loyalty to one lord.

No matter how many flaws Kenneth has, his mindset will not change.

Such differential treatment made Sora Nazele Sofiali wish she could take her place.

"If only I had been Diarmuid's Master from the very beginning."

Just as Sora was beginning to have extreme thoughts, the door finally opened from the inside.

Kenneth, standing at the door, saw his fiancée seemingly taking care of Diarmuid, and his face immediately showed displeasure, his brows furrowing.

As the Master who had greeted the other party, he was all too aware of Diarmuid's irresistible charm to women.

He repeatedly reminded Sora to pay attention to this, and Sora assured him.

Even though Sora should have nothing going on with the other person right now, he still feels uncomfortable.
