He quickly opened it and glanced at it, his expression changing.
Irisviel asked, "Kiritsugu, what does it say?"
"It's a distant time; they've invited all of our Masters to the Holy Church to discuss how to deal with Saber and her Master." (Small)
Chapter 172 No Advantages, Only Disadvantages
"Could this be a trap?!"
Irisviel was immediately worried, as Tokimatsu Tohsaka had always been a shrewd and calculating person, and had previously been found to be allied with Saber.
"The possibility is not high. If I'm not mistaken, Tokiomichi Tohsaka's alliance with Saber Master was actually just for show. Otherwise, he could have just made a phone call, why go through all that trouble?"
"Yuanban Shichen is an ambitious and meticulous person. His previous alliance is definitely not credible."
"In any case, Tokiomichi Tohsaka knows more about Saber's Master than we do, so there might still be a chance for the Holy Grail."
Seeing that there was still hope, Kiritsugu Emiya regained his composure.
"Alright, Kiritsugu, I'll go in your place. They don't know you're your Master yet, so if something happens to 'Nigosan' while I'm there, you won't be harmed."
"No! It's too dangerous for you to go!"
"Kiritsugu, my fate was already sealed long ago, and you also said that this time it's not very dangerous. It's a neutral zone, and no one will act recklessly. If there really is a problem, you can meet me outside, right?"
Hisayu Maiya said, "Madam is right, I will protect you."
"Thank you, Maimi."
Kiritsugu Emiya had no choice but to agree.
In front of the house where Weber Velvet was temporarily staying.
A black figure appeared, just as it was about to continue moving forward.
A voice rang out: "If you dare take a step inside, I'll kill you right now, Assassin."
Assassin paused, then turned to look at the large tree behind him, where he saw Rider sitting there at some point.
“Rider, I’m not here to fight you. I’m just here to deliver a message.”
Assassin said this, he took out an envelope and tossed it to Rider.
Rider reached out and caught the envelope, and Assassin's figure vanished as a spirit.
Squeak!
The door opened, and Webber Velvet poked his head out and asked, "Did that guy leave?"
"Yes, they've already left."
"I didn't expect Assassin to find this place. It's not safe here anymore. Let's find another place quickly."
Rider waved his hand: "No need. Assassin is good at stealth, so it's very difficult to hide from this guy. Besides, look at this."
Rider gave the letter to Weber.
"What?! Tokimatsu Tomokazu actually invited all of us Masters to a gathering at the Holy Church?!"
Rider nodded: "Yeah, it seems that guy really can't sit still anymore. Since Assassin is still alive and is being directed by Tokimatsu, that means that Assassin's attack on his wife and daughter that day was just a show."
"A play performed for all of us."
Weber was very puzzled: "Why would he do that?"
"Because he wanted others to believe that Assassin was dead and that he wasn't on Assassin's side. In fact, he had already started plotting against Saber's Master from that time. If I'm not mistaken, his plan was to rely on Saber and her Master to eliminate everyone else, and then he would join forces with Assassin's Master to kill Saber's Master."
"But today, he discovered that Saber's Master's strength was far beyond his expectations. He couldn't be sure of victory, so he didn't hesitate to expose his relationship with the Assassin Master in order to gather everyone together to fight against Saber and her Master."
"Hehehe, things are getting interesting."
"Should we participate?"
"Of course! This opportunity only comes once. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance to defeat that monster."
Webber scratched his head and exclaimed, "Ugh! Just thinking about that monster gives me a headache."
"Sigh! It's not just you who has a big head, I have one too."
Rider, thinking of Lu Li's formidable strength, felt very uncertain. He realized that even if he used his Noble Phantasm, he might not be a match for Lu Li. No, he definitely wouldn't be a match for him. The boy's relaxed expression clearly indicated that he hadn't used his full strength at that moment.
Compared to that man, their only advantage as Heroic Spirits is their Noble Phantasms. No, that man also has many weapons...
They are even as numerous as that golden glitter.
In summary, there are no advantages, only disadvantages.
Underground secret room.
"You're back, sir."
When Ryunosuke Uryu saw Caster return, he greeted him.
Caster ignored Ryunosuke Uryu and walked straight to the pillar.
puff!
The child, who was tied to the pillar, was killed by Caster.
"Oh no! How could this be? What a pity!"
Seeing this, Ryunosuke Uryu felt very distressed. He had worked so hard to collect all of these items, and he wanted to play for a few more days.
"Damn God! He still binds Joan of Arc's soul to this day!"
Joan of Arc? The woman seen in the crystal ball?
"We must prove that the loss of divine power and the emptiness of love, no matter how cruel, will not be punished by God!"
"Yes, I understand. Your behavior is much cooler, sir."
Ryunosuke Uryu praised.
Caster shouted frantically, "In that case, we shall do even more immoral and blasphemous things, piling up mountains of sacrificial offerings!"
Ryunosuke Uryu: "Um... does that mean... we're going to abandon quality and pursue quantity at 3.8 from now on?"
Caster grabbed Ryunosuke Uryuu's shoulder excitedly and said, "That's right! Absolutely correct!"
"God had allowed me to walk the path of evil for eight years, but in the end, it was not God who destroyed me, but the greed of people like me."
"The king and the church executed me in the name of judgment in order to seize the wealth and territory in my hands."
“What stopped me from committing evil deeds was not the judgment, but naked plunder.”
"The evidence is that Joan of Arc, such a kind and beautiful girl, died so young, and even after her death, she was implanted with other people's memories. She deserves to die."
Ryunosuke Uryu was increasingly confused as he listened: "So what should we do first, sir?"
"Of course, we should kill that despicable man."
Chapter 173 Gathering at the Holy Church
"That man? You mean that silver-haired boy?!"
"Master, that silver-haired boy is incredibly strong!"
"Of course, I don't doubt the master's abilities, it's just that he's really dangerous!"
Ryunosuke Uryuu's deepest impression was of Lu Li, who single-handedly defeated three beings similar to the Master, easily suppressing them; his combat power was simply off the charts.
suddenly!
a voice sounded.
"If you want to get rid of that man, I do have a way."
A figure in black appeared.
Caster wasn't surprised at all when he saw the other person: "Assassin, you've been following me all this way, haven't you? What's your purpose? Do you want to fight me?"
"No, I'm not here to fight you. I'm just here to deliver a message. This is a summons from Archer's Master, inviting all Servants and Masters to discuss how to deal with Saber and Saber's Master."
"What?! You actually want to go after my Holy Maiden?!"
Caster raised his hand, and a large number of tentacles suddenly appeared, reaching out to grab Assassin. Assassin quickly dodged and then fled backward.
shhhhhh!
Vertical tentacles appeared and blocked the exit.
"Trying to escape from my magic workshop."
Caster deliberately lets the other party follow him, in order to lure them into his workshop.
Soon, Assassin was caught by the tentacles.
Assassin quickly explained, "No, no, it's mainly to deal with Saber's Master."
"Main? Then there's also secondary! Anyone who wants to harm Joan of Arc deserves to die! You greedy bastards! All you think about is the Holy Grail! You're even willing to kill others for the Holy Grail! It was your greed that killed Joan of Arc! You are the original sin of everything!"
"Die!!"
Crunch!
The tentacles began to tighten.
Assassin let out a agonizing scream: "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
Bang————!
Assassin's body exploded, turning into pieces of flesh scattered everywhere.
"cool!!!"
"Sir!! You're so cool!!"
"But sir, are you really not going to join forces with them?"
Caster said, "You're still too old, Ryunosuke. How could those guys who covet the Holy Grail really join forces? Those people have always been eyeing our lives."
"It's not just you and me; each of them is eyeing the lives of others. Do you know why they've gathered together?"
"It's greed!!"
"They covet the holy power of the Holy Grail, wanting to use it to fulfill their desires, and even disregarding our wishes, they summon us, the dead, to be their tools for killing each other."
Ryunosuke Uryu nodded, seemingly understanding yet not quite. Although he couldn't understand, he knew that since the old man had lived so long and spoke such pleasant words, he must be right.
"I will personally kill that despicable man and free Joan of Arc from his clutches. Then I will do everything in my power to restore Joan of Arc's original memories."
"Although I don't understand it, I have a feeling that the master is about to do something very important."
Caster revealed a slightly sinister smile: "Look forward to it, Ryunosuke! I will present you with true art!"
The next day
Lu Li continued shopping with Saber, but unlike the first day, this time they held hands.
Sometimes, a relationship can undergo a huge change if one party is just a little bit braver.
That's how it is between Lu Li and Saber. Last night, Lu Li kissed Saber again in the name of protection.
"Master, aren't we here to participate in the Holy Grail War? Why are we going shopping?"
Saber felt something was off; she was supposed to be there for the Holy Grail War, but it felt more like a date.
"We're here to participate in the Holy Grail War, but we can't exactly start a fight in broad daylight, can we?"
"Besides, there's no need to rush this matter. They're the ones who should be anxious. They might all come knocking on our door soon enough."
"Together?"
"Yes! Together, they must be discussing how to join forces to deal with us right now."
"why?"
Saber was somewhat puzzled by this.
"Because of me! Because of me, your stats have increased significantly. Last night, I even broke the rules and defeated a Servant, which is why Lancer and Rider teamed up."
"But even if I defeat both of them together, they will naturally need to gather more combat power, so the fair one-on-one battle you are thinking of will not happen next."
"If I'm not mistaken, they'll send someone to keep me occupied, or even have the Masters keep me occupied, while the other Servants will work together to deal with you."
