Chapter 561: ·The Black Faction in Name Only

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, 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 Amakusa Shirou would certainly not let him leave just like that.

Judging by the situation, the Black and Red factions had likely joined forces again.

After all, that guy Darnic couldn't possibly watch him take the Holy Grail away.

Sure enough, the moment he stepped outside, he felt a concealed gaze from the shadows.

Before he could even reach the street corner, white fog appeared out of thin air, shrouding all of Trifas.

Jack the Ripper—had this guy been persuaded by Amakusa Shirou as well?

That guy really had a knack for hoodwinking people.

【Name: Jack the Ripper (Abandoned Child of the Fog City); Class: Assassin; Gender: Female; Alignment: Chaotic Evil.】

【Strength: C; Endurance: C; Agility: A; Magic: 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 Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm).】

A flash of a blade—Jack dropped from a nearby building and stabbed at Feng Xi, only to be blocked a step ahead by the King of Knights through 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 Rokudou Reika forever, and Rokudou Reika felt the same. Thus, they had been persuaded by Amakusa Shirou and joined the opposing camp.

Amakusa Shirou had even specifically replenished Jack's magic so she wouldn't have to eat the hearts of those mages anymore.

"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 formation; aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Saying this, Feng Xi immediately initiated Armor Integration.

Better to be cautious; if Chiron were currently in the distance, preparing to fire a "Antares Snipe" at him, it would be troublesome.

Besides, Jack's dense fog was poisonous; he hadn't forgotten that.

Iskandar: "Strange, are the enemy's Servants not appearing?"

Within a few minutes, the surrounding homunculi had all been smashed into fragments by Feng Xi and his group.

These homunculi looked numerous, but in reality, they were all cannon fodder.

But they had finished fighting, and apart from Jack, who had appeared at the start to land a strike, the other Servants were nowhere to be seen.

Artoria: "Let's leave this fog first; fighting here makes it easy for our vision to be obstructed."

As the group headed toward the outskirts of town, a cold light suddenly descended from the sky; Artoria 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 reveal herself, Feng Xi and his group couldn't find Jack's location at all.

They directly quickened their pace to leave the heavy fog.

At this moment, arrows struck again; 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 defending against the arrows of Chiron and Atalanta, while Jack would jump out from time to time to harass them before running away, along with golems appearing at irregular intervals, making it 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 making them walk here.

"Ding!!!"

Just then, a magic circle lit up beneath everyone's feet.

"A trap!"

Feng Xi and his group immediately prepared their defenses, but a flash of white light appeared before them, 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 just seen it in the video during the day—the place where Dracula fell.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon—they had 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 was reasonable; here, Semiramis could exert power far beyond her own, and could even nullify the power of Command Spells within a certain range.

"Hello, Feng Xi; this is our first formal meeting, isn't it?"

On the stairs, Amakusa Shirou, dressed in red robes, smiled kindly.

"Hey, hey, what is this?"

In another part of the Hanging Gardens, Iskandar, who had just been teleported here, 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.

Iskandar immediately summoned the Gordius Wheel to charge, and under the lightning bombardment of the Divine Bulls, the flying fish were cleared away in large numbers.

Iskandar, who had flown into the sky, also discovered that they had been teleported to the Hanging Gardens.

"Separated, huh? The opponent wants to defeat us one by one."

At this moment, a green light rushed in from the sky; it was Achilles.

Iskandar: "Achilles, are you here to settle the score with me?"

"Hey, hey, what are you saying? Wasn't the outcome decided long ago?"

Achilles laughed: "Your army was defeated by me twice."

Iskandar: "Haha, before I disappear, my army is eternal!"

Achilles: "Is that so? But unfortunately, my mission today is just to hold you back."

"Hold me back? Is it to deal with Feng, that kid?"

Iskandar 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."

Iskandar: "But come to think of it, where is your spear? Why haven't I seen you holding it today?"

Achilles: "..."

He really knew how to touch a sore spot.

How was he supposed to say it? Tell him directly that it had been taken away by his Master?

A warrior losing his weapon—how shameful that would be to say out loud.

On the other side, Qin Shi Huang, Artoria, and Diarmuid had also encountered their opponents: Vlad III, Siegfried, and Fionn.

It should be said that Vlad III was no longer a Servant of the Black faction.

The current situation of the Black faction could almost be considered dead in name only.

Once the Q&A video came out in the morning, Vlad III had a falling out with Darnic, and in the end, it was only through the use of a Command Spell that the other party managed to pacify him, but the relationship between the two had completely collapsed.

Avicebron and Roche, that master-disciple pair, had also become estranged.

Although the Q&A had already ended after the Black faction's commotion, they still learned about the situation behind the video from the group.

When Roche learned that he had been sacrificed, he was completely distraught.
