Chapter 299
Atalanta and Achilles immediately spirit-formed and vanished, but Karna did not move.
Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine: "What's the matter?"
Karna: "... y Master, how is he?"
Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine: "Rest assured, he is very safe. Once the Holy Grail War ends, he will be able to leave safely."
Upon hearing this, Karna said nothing more and also spirit-formed and vanished.
The Empress: "So, what do you intend to do tonight?"
Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine smiled faintly: "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
(Regarding the issue of the video being too long, it is indeed too long. I apologize. I will definitely pay attention in the future and keep these plot points within a few pages.)
As night fell, Feng Xi walked through the fog-filled streets with his Servants.
He had already checked out of his lodging, intending to return to his own world.
Logically speaking, with the Holy Grail in hand, he should have left last night, but because he was truly exhausted from the great battle, Feng Xi stayed an extra day.
However, he also knew that Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine would certainly not let him leave like this.
Judging by the situation, the Black and Red factions had likely joined forces again.
After all, that guy Darnic could not possibly watch him Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take the Holy Grail away.
Sure enough, the moment he stepped outside, he felt a hidden gaze from the shadows.
Before he could even reach the street corner, a white mist appeared out of thin air, shrouding the entire Trifas.
Jack the Ripper—has this one been persuaded by Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine as well?
That guy really has a knack for hoodwinking people.
【Name: Jack the Ripper (Abandoned Child of the Fog); Class: Assassin; Gender: Female; Alignment: Chaotic Evil.】
【Strength: C; Endurance: C; Agility: A; Mana: C; Luck: E; Noble Phantasm: C.】
【Class Skill: Presence Concealment A+.】
【Personal Skills: Murder on a Misty Night A, Information Erasure B, Surgery E.】
【Noble Phantasm: The Ripper (D+ Rank Rank Rank Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm).】
A flash of a blade—Jack dropped from a nearby building and thrust a knife at Feng Xi, which was blocked a step ahead by the King of Knights beside him using her Instinct.
Jack had no intention of a head-on collision and immediately retreated into the fog; it seemed she intended to fight a guerrilla war.
Jack also wanted the Holy Grail because she wanted to be with Reika Rikudou forever, and Reika Rikudou felt the same. Thus, they were persuaded by Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine and joined the opposing camp.
Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine even specifically replenished Jack's mana so she would no longer need to consume the hearts of mages.
"Click, click..."
Accompanied by a series of sounds, a large number of homunculi emerged from the fog, surrounding Feng Xi and his group.
Feng Xi: "Quite the display, aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Saying this, Feng Xi immediately initiated Armor Integration.
Better to be cautious; it would be bad if Chiron were currently in the distance, preparing to fire a "Antares Snipe" at him.
Besides, Jack's dense fog was poisonous; he hadn't forgotten that.
The Great King: "Strange, are the enemy's Servants not appearing?"
Within a few minutes, the surrounding homunculi were all dismantled into fragments by Feng Xi and the others.
These homunculi looked numerous, but in reality, they were just cannon fodder.
Yet, after they finished fighting, aside from Jack who had appeared at the start to land one blow, the other Servants were nowhere to be seen.
The King of Knights: "Let's leave this fog first; fighting here makes it easy for our vision to be obstructed."
As the group headed out of town, a cold light suddenly descended from the sky; the King of Knights was quick-witted enough to cut down an arrow.
It was Chiron; the opponent was sniping them from a high vantage point.
Even though they were in the fog, the opponent could still aim at them—was Jack providing the targeting?
Possessing A+ rank Presence Concealment, combined with hiding in the fog she created, as long as she didn't manifest, Feng Xi and the others couldn't find Jack's location at all.
They directly quickened their pace to leave the heavy fog.
At this moment, arrows struck again, and this time it wasn't just one, but a volley of several.
This was definitely not the attack of one person; it seemed Atalanta was there too.
The group walked while guarding against the arrows of Chiron and Atalanta, while Jack would jump out from time to time to harass them before running away, along with the sporadically appearing golems—it was incredibly annoying.
Feng Xi frowned. What was the point of such attacks? Why hadn't high-level combatants like Siegfried, Achilles, and Karna appeared?
Wait a minute, how did they end up at the plaza?
Looking at the plaza before him, Feng Xi suddenly realized.
They had fallen into a trap; the opponent had been interfering with their path from the very beginning, deliberately leading them here.
"Ding!!!"
Just then, a magic circle lit up beneath everyone's feet.
"A trap!"
Feng Xi and the others immediately prepared their defenses, but a flash of white light appeared before their eyes, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.
"Teleportation magic?"
Feng Xi raised an eyebrow; he was now appearing in a familiar church.
Of course it was familiar; he had seen it in the video earlier that day—the place where Dracula fell.
The Hanging Gardens, had they actually been teleported here!
He had been careless; he hadn't expected the opponent to choose to pull him directly into their lair.
But thinking about it, it made sense; here, Semiramis could exert power far beyond her own, and could even neutralize the power of Command Spells within a certain range.
"Hello, Feng Xi, this is our first formal meeting, isn't it?"
On the stairs, Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine, dressed in red robes, smiled with a gentle expression.
"Hey, hey, what is this?"
In another part of the Hanging Gardens, the Great King, having just been teleported there, hadn't even reacted to what was happening when a group of ferocious flying fish appeared out of thin air and launched an attack on him.
The Great King immediately summoned the Gordius Wheel to charge, and under the lightning bombardment of the divine bulls, the flying fish were cleared out in large numbers.
The Great King, soaring into the air, also discovered that they had been teleported onto the Hanging Gardens.
"Separated, are we? The opponent wants to defeat us one by one."
At this moment, a green light rushed in from the sky—it was Achilles.
The Great King: "Achilles, are you here to settle the score with me?"
"Hey, hey, what are you saying? Hasn't the score already been settled?"
Achilles laughed: "Your army has already been defeated by me twice."
The Great King: "Haha, before I vanish, my army is eternal!"
Achilles: "Is that so? But unfortunately, my task today is just to stall you."
"Stall me? Is it to focus on dealing with the Feng kid?"
The Great King laughed: "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed again; that kid isn't so easy to deal with."
Achilles: "Don't speak too soon."
The Great King: "But come to think of it, where is your spear? How come I don't see you holding it today?"
Achilles: "..."
Talk about rubbing salt in the wound.
How was he supposed to answer? Tell him directly that it was taken away by his Master?
A warrior losing his weapon—how embarrassing that would be to say out loud.
On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, the First Emperor, the King of Knights, and Diarmuid had also encountered their opponents: the Count of the Black faction, Siegfried, and Fionn.
It should be said that the Count was no longer a Servant of the Black faction.
The current situation of the Black faction was practically dead in all but name.
Once the morning Q&A video came out, the Count had a direct falling out with Darnic, and in the end, it took the other party using a Command Spell to pacify him, but the relationship between the two had completely collapsed.
Avicebron and Roche, that master and apprentice, had also become estranged.
Although the Q&A had ended after the Black faction's turmoil, they still learned about the latter part of the video from the group chat.
When Roche learned he had been sacrificed, he was completely distraught.
