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

"My name is Hermes, which devours its own wings to control my heart."

"Liberate the Dead River!"

[Noble Phantasm: River of the Dead] Activated instantly.

All the Assassins were pulled into the Reality Marble and disappeared along with Abel.

"So it's an anti-military treasure..."

Upon seeing this, Kenneth was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

He then revealed a gloating expression.

Assassins like 'Hundred Faces' Hassan, who rely on sheer numbers, are most afraid of anti-army Noble Phantasms that far outnumber them; calling them their nemesis wouldn't be an exaggeration.

If nothing unexpected happens, Assassin is likely doomed this time.

Then all he needs to do is eliminate Saber's Master here, and then he can have the final battle with Archer.

Kenneth, eager to prove himself, couldn't help but get excited.

Da da da da da…

A series of gunshots abruptly shattered his good mood.

"Damn rat, just keep running away, why do you have to launch this pointless counterattack and struggle?"

A cloud of mercury at Kenneth's feet immediately formed a wall in front of him, blocking all the bullets.

But suddenly, a gunshot rang out, sounding quite unusual, piercing through the [Moon Spirit Essence Liquid]'s defenses and creating a bloody hole in his left shoulder!

"what!"

Kenneth immediately let out a scream and covered his wound with his hand.

Fresh blood dripped incessantly from between his fingers onto the ground.

Do you really think the "Magician Killer" is just a gimmick?

To date, no fewer than 40 magicians have died at the hands of Kiritsugu Emiya!

This is a very alarming number.

"I am going to kill you!"

After being injured, Kenneth seemed to have lost his usual calm and rationality, and began to continue pursuing the fleeing Kiritsugu Emiya.

Arrogant, impulsive, and lacking in combat experience...

These fatal weaknesses are being constantly magnified by Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Now comes the moment of truth."

With his back against the wall, Kiritsugu Emiya loaded a very special bullet into the modified gun in his hand.

This Tompson Center/Arms Contender has a single-round magazine and cannot automatically eject spent cartridges.

Such a major drawback makes it unsuitable for the battlefield.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya had his reasons for choosing it.

And one bullet is enough.

Everything he had done before was just a setup, to guide Kenneth to activate more magic circuits and use maximum magic power for defense.

In this way, his Origin Missile can achieve its maximum effect.

The so-called Origin Bullet was actually made by taking the first and second ribs from Kiritsugu's side, grinding them into powder, condensing them using spiritual engineering, and sealing them into bullets as core materials. There were only 66 bullets in total.

Once it hits, it will immediately sever the magician's magic circuits and then roughly and simply reconnect them, causing the magic circuits throughout the body to short-circuit and go berserk, thereby achieving the goal of eliminating the opponent. The probability of instant death has been confirmed to be 97.36%.

Chapter 861 A Despicable Battle Plan

Depending on the target hit by the Origin Missile, the results can vary.

If it hits a creature's body, it will neither cause a wound nor cause bleeding, because the healing is completed the moment it is destroyed.

However, the area where you were shot will become like a necrotic old wound.

Only the surface appears to be healed, but nerves and capillaries have not regenerated accurately, essentially losing their original functions.

To give a simple example, if your hand is cut off and you take it to the hospital to have it reattached, the doctor needs to carefully reconnect every nerve in order for your hand to regain its function.

Instead of simply sewing a circle around the outside and calling it a day.

The latter appears to have reattached the hand, but it's only superficially reattached; in reality, it's the same as not reattaching at all.

In some cases, the reattached hand even had to be cut off again for treatment.

And when the Origin Bullet hits a magician, the threat level doubles again!

Because the magic circuits within a magician's body are also affected by the Origin Bullet.

If nerves and capillaries are damaged and fail to regenerate properly, the worst outcome is that the organ loses its original function.

But if the magic circuit is destroyed and then haphazardly repaired and reconnected, the consequences will be disastrous.

With just the Origin Bullet, 37 magicians were shot and killed by Kiritsugu Emiya!

In comparison, the real 'magician killer' should be the Origin Bullet.

He's practically a magician's nemesis!

So when Kiritsugu Emiya aimed at Kenneth and pulled the trigger, firing the Origin Bullet, the outcome was already predetermined.

Meanwhile, within the inherent barrier.

Dozens of Assassins looked on in utter shock.

In that river irrigated with blood, countless armies of the undead charged towards them.

Revolt?

There is no need for that at all.

Even if they can kill several times, or even dozens of times, more enemies, so what?

There were far more than tens of thousands of people standing before them.

It can only be said that they really kicked a hornet's nest.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Their ultimate purpose was to deplete Kiritsugu Emiya's trump card, so their deaths were worthwhile.

Thus, the River of Death, carrying a million-strong army of the dead, easily submerged and swallowed all the Assassins, utterly annihilating them.

It's as simple as yawning.

"Was it resolved so quickly?"

Kirei Kotomine, who was hiding outside the manor, had already sensed the demise of the Assassin.

But he did not show any sadness.

For him, Assassin was merely a tool to help him complete his mission.

Now that Assassin has been completely exploited, his death is no big deal.

He gave an explanation after he returned.

Thinking of this, he simply put away his weapon and turned to leave.

As for whether Lancer or Saber will survive to the end, it's no longer important.

……

boom!

Diarmuid, who was fighting Artoria, was suddenly startled.

He deflected Artoria's longsword and retreated while glancing towards a certain floor of the manor.

He sensed that his Master was dying.

“Saber, my lord is in danger, I must go to save him.”

As Dirumdo spoke, he adopted a wary and defensive posture.

Because if the other party tries to stop him, he will have to keep fighting.

But after a brief silence, Artoria lowered her weapon. "It must have been done by my Master. If you want to go, I won't stop you."

Diarmuid nodded, his eyes filled with deep respect for the Knight King.

His noble character impressed him.

If it weren't for the Holy Grail War, he would really like to sit down and have a good drink with the King of Knights; that would be his honor.

Diarmuid went to find Kenneth.

This battle ultimately failed to be completed.

Regret was evident in Artoria's eyes.

But what happened next was something she never expected.

When Diarmuid followed the scent to Kenneth, Kenneth was already sitting half-dead in a chair.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya was hiding behind a chair, his gun pointed directly at Kenneth's head, seemingly waiting for Diarmuid's arrival.

"Let me take my lord away from here, and I will spare your life."

"You should know how easy it would be for me to kill you."

“But considering the noble character of the King of Knights, I will not do so, and you should be grateful.”

With his deadpan eyes, Kiritsugu Emiya slowly said, "I admit that at this distance, it would be easy for you to kill me. But just as easily, you can't stop me from firing."

"Perhaps you could try to see if I can blow your monarch's head off before you pierce my heart with that demonic spear."

Diarmuid's expression instantly turned cold, but he really wasn't confident.

Not to mention that the other side used Kenneth as a human shield.
