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

Another point is that Assassin was defeated by Abel.

His most feared enemy, Kirei Kotomine, will also lose his Master status.

This definitely made him feel much more relaxed.

"Go back and rest, Alice."

"The only obstacle left for us to obtain the Holy Grail is the King of Heroes. We will definitely win."

Under Kiritsugu Emiya's persuasion, Irisviel could only suppress her worries.

At the same time, an uninvited guest arrived at the church.

"Does the King of Heroes have any orders?" Kirei Kotomine was very surprised to see Gilgamesh suddenly appear, but still maintained the proper etiquette and respect.

"Will you do whatever you're told?"

"Hehe, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"Very well, then please... die."

"what?!"

Under Kotomine Risuke's incredulous gaze, the Chains of Heaven immediately and firmly locked him in place.

Then Gilgamesh pulled out a... pistol and pulled the trigger at him.

Bang, bang, bang...

Only after he had emptied all the bullets did Gilgamesh look at the piece of junk with a contemptuous expression.

He wouldn't have used such a low-level tactic if he didn't intend to frame Kiritsugu Emiya for the other person's death.

Chapter 863 The Death of Tokiomi

"Qili, please accept my condolences and take heed of this difficult time."

“There is definitely something wrong with Father Li Zheng’s death. I have already sent people to do an autopsy. The cause of death was that he was shot in the crossfire.”

"As far as I know, the representative of the Einzbern family in this Holy Grail War, who is also Saber's true Master, Kiritsugu Emiya, is a heretic who advocates using firearms in combat."

"Moreover, given that all the other Masters and Servants have already been eliminated, Kiritsugu Emiya has the motivation to do so."

"I suspect he already knew about the alliance between the priest and me, and was worried that the priest's presence would be a variable in the final showdown, so he decided to strike first."

"Don't worry, I will make Kiritsugu Emiya pay for his crimes in blood."

"By the way, do you have all the command seals left by the priest?"

After summoning Kirei Kotomine, Tokiomi Tohsaka first analyzed the situation carefully and then directly shifted the blame to his final rival, Kiritsugu Emiya.

Before they could even offer Kirei Kotomine a few words of comfort, his true intentions were revealed.

Clearly, the reason he was in such a hurry to see Kirei Kotomine was none other than the Command Seals left behind by the priest!

He was not disappointed.

Kirei Kotomine expressionlessly rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a large number of Command Seals on his right wrist.

That was the inheritance left to Kotomine Risei after his death.

Upon seeing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately showed a look of surprise and delight.

Great! With so many Command Seals, we don't have to worry about the King of Heroes disobeying us.

Moreover, Saber is the only enemy left.

Isn't this a sure win?

It seems fate was on my side!

With a broad smile, Tokiomi Tohsaka opened a bottle of champagne. As he poured the wine, he turned his back to Kirei Kotomine and said, "Later, transfer three... no, five Command Seals to me."

"Once we win this Holy Grail War, I will fully support you in becoming the High Priest of the Fuyuki Church..."

puff!

Before Tokiomi Tohsaka could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw four long, sharp blades piercing his chest from behind, and also penetrating his heart.

Blood desperately escaped from his body, flowing onto the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Why……"

As Tokiomi Tohsaka coughed up blood, he managed to utter his last question.

He simply couldn't understand why his disciple, his friend's son, would betray him.

He was completely unprepared for Kirei Kotomine.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have exposed their backs.

However, Kirei Kotomine did not give him that answer.

Snap...

The champagne glass fell to the ground and shattered.

Filled with endless confusion and resentment, Tokiomi Tohsaka also fell into a pool of blood, dying with his eyes wide open.

He was so close to obtaining the Holy Grail, yet he ultimately died at the hands of the person he trusted most.

"Congratulations, Kirei. You've finally taken this step."

Gilgamesh appeared on the sofa at some point, sipping red wine with a smile on his face.

Why would Kirei Kotomine do this?

This hero deserves a great deal of credit.

He saw through Kirei Kotomine's 'morbid' nature and gradually lured him into darkness.

As for the death of Ryomae, it was Gilgamesh's final, drastic measure.

Kirei Kotomine's father's death triggered memories of his wife's death, and he was further seduced by Gilgamesh's words.

Finally, I began to accept my true nature and pursue pleasure!

Thus, the unfortunate Tokiomi Tohsaka was killed by his own servant and his own disciple working together.

What a pathetic guy.

"how do you feel?"

"A thrilling pleasure."

Kirei Kotomine, with his eyes closed, said this.

Gilgamesh looked at the Master he had personally chosen and became increasingly satisfied.

"Alright, you can experience this pleasure many more times in the future. Now let's move on to the next step and complete the new contract."

"Even without the magic supplied by Tokiomi, I can still exist for a long time, but the feeling that I could disappear at any time makes me very uncomfortable."

Kirei Kotomine bowed respectfully. "That would be my honor, Great Hero King."

These two people, one lost his Master, and the other lost his Servant.

Under the rules of the Holy Grail War, it is indeed possible to regroup.

However, such a situation is almost impossible to occur.

And so Kirei Kotomine transformed into Archer's new Master.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya was unaware that his most feared rival had been 'resurrected' in this way!

……

"【Supervisor】Kotomine Risei is dead, and he was shot dead."

"What? Why is this happening?"

"My initial assessment is that someone is trying to frame me. After all, I'm the only one who used firearms as the primary means of attack."

"But what's the reason for doing this? All the other Servants have already been eliminated. In the end, it's just a duel between Saber and Archer. Isn't this redundant?"

"I don't understand this issue either; there might be some other inside story."

Kiritsugu Emiya shook his head; this time, he truly couldn't understand it either.

At this point, Irisviel offered a suggestion: "Could it be that it's to steal the Command Seals from the priest?"

"It's possible, but not very likely. Because Kotomine Risei is most likely in cahoots with Tohsaka Tokiomi. Rather than killing Kotomine Risei and stealing the Command Seals, it would be better to let Kotomine Risei transfer the Command Seals directly, unless there is an irreconcilable conflict between them."

Thinking about it that way, it really is unlikely.

As for being shot by ordinary people, that's even more ridiculous.

What madman would inexplicably go into a church and shoot a priest?

Moreover, nothing was missing from the church.

In addition, Kotomine Risei is skilled in martial arts; his authentic Bajiquan technique could easily defeat a dozen or so ordinary people.

Even when facing armed thugs, they can hold their own for a while instead of being shot dead without any resistance.

There must be something wrong here.

Nobody could figure it out.

What is Abel's opinion?

"Regardless of who did it, killing the Overseer is an unforgivable crime and violates the rules of the Holy Grail War."

Abel answered without hesitation.

"Next, I will find a way to identify the murderer and then try him in the name of the [Judge]!"

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya naturally did not stop him; in fact, he was pleased to see this outcome.

Because he was quite certain that he hadn't done it.

So whoever did it will be in trouble.
