Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

It still needs continuous care and maintenance.

Chapter 136 Black's Assassin

Tulipas, Yggdomirenia Castle.

"My King, there's been an anomaly at the barrier. According to the information from the familiar, it should be Berserker from the Red side."

Danic stood respectfully beside Vlad III, and before them was a video of the familiar transmitting images of the red Berserker continuously traversing the forest in a straight line.

Its objective was extremely clear: it headed straight for Yggdmillennia Castle, which was their base.

"Is the shielding barrier ineffective?"

The Master of the Black Saber, standing at the bottom of the hall, spoke up to inquire.

"No, it still plays its role, but the Red team's Berserker seems to have somehow pinpointed our location."

Danic was unaware of how the Berserkers discovered their location.

This only means that the Berserker has his own unique way of finding enemies.

"Besides the Red Team's Berserker, are there any other Servants coming?"

Vlad III inquired, explaining that he had not been involved in matters concerning the barrier and familiars, and that such details could only be obtained from Danic.

"No, it seems that the Red Team's Archer is still recovering from serious injuries and has difficulty moving around. In the footage transmitted by the familiar, the Red Team's Rider tried to stop Berserker's actions, but failed."

"After the Berserker had completely entered our territory, the Red team's Rider decided to abandon the Berserker."

Danic relayed the information from the familiar to Vlad III.

"So, there's only one rider?"

Danic nodded. Judging from Berserker's aura alone, he was far from being the Knight King who single-handedly stormed the Red Army's territory.

Moreover, they wouldn't be as arrogant as the Red Team, sending only two Servants to deal with the situation.

“Then capture the Red Team’s Berserker, Caster. You can transfer his contract to our Master.”

Caster nodded, giving Vlad III an affirmative answer, since not everyone could be like Emiya Shirou.

"All personnel mobilize to meet Berserker!"

So, where are Shirou Emiya and Arthur at this moment?

This matter begins with ——————

In short, it was during the day that Danic found Shirou Emiya being taught by Arthur in the courtyard.

"Assassin's Master has sent word that they will arrive in Tulifas tonight, but the Red Team's Saber is on her way to Assassin and needs your assistance."

This is the reason Danic gave to Shirou Emiya, as it is stated publicly.

But in reality, Danic knew that what he received was not a message from the Assassin Master.

Doesn't Danic know he's a magician from Yggdrasilia?

This was not written by the Black Assassin Master, Hyoma Sagara. Given his personality, he would never write such a letter to inform himself.

It seems that Sagara Hyoma is likely doomed.

However, they had to send someone to find out what was going on, so after much deliberation, Danic decided to send Shirou Emiya, an outsider, to confront Assassin, who might not belong to their side.

If the other party still decides to play for the Black team, Danick wouldn't mind accepting him; there's no hatred between magicians.

But if the magician harbors hostility towards the black side, then this might be a trap.

He should have informed his followers about this.

For some reason, he chose to keep it a secret, because he felt a very familiar feeling from that letter.

But I still can't remember who would use such a tone.

Danic also used magic to reflect the image of the person who wrote the letter.

However, the article was written by a slender woman.

But the trembling hands revealed by the shadow made it clear to everyone that this woman had been forced to write this letter.

He wanted to know what the magician who replaced Sagara Hyoma was planning.

He did not intend to tell his followers such bad news before he had obtained absolute information.

And so, Emiya embarked once again on another journey of working overtime.

For Emiya, staying in the castle would only mean enduring their oppressive atmosphere, so he accepted Darnick's suggestion and headed towards the location he had given him.

The reasons are quite valid, aren't they?

Moreover, Emiya also wanted to see for himself what kind of Servant the Assassin, known as the murderer, really was.

So, when Vlad III decided to mobilize all his forces to capture the Red Berserker, Emiya and Arthur were heading to a more border area of ​​Tulipas.

Perhaps thanks to Danic, the people of Tulifas generally do not choose to go out at night.

Only a small number of drunkards, or people who didn't have time to go home, were walking on the streets.

As night fell, the once bustling Tulipas became extremely deserted. The streets were quiet, with only the sound of one's own footsteps and the howling of the cold wind.

And wisps of white mist, carried by the evening breeze, slowly enveloped the entire town.

"cough--!"

Emiya Shirou, having inhaled a puff of smoke, clutched his neck and began coughing violently.

An extremely intense pain came from his lungs.

"Master!"

Arthur quickly caught Shirou Emiya, who was about to fall.

Looking at the thick fog that surrounded them, their expressions became extremely serious.

"This fog has a fatal effect on the human body!"

Arthur also felt the effects of the fog on himself.

Without relying on intuition, it would be impossible for me to discern the direction of departure, and my mobility was also reduced by the sudden appearance of the fog.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

The most urgent task is to get Shirou Emiya out of this fog.

This is very likely the Noble Phantasm they need to obtain from the Assassin at Yggdrasilena Castle.

If an ordinary person stayed in this fog, they would probably die within moments.

Even a magician probably couldn't last long in this fog.

Emiya Shirou must be moved out as soon as possible.

Upon realizing this, Arthur immediately decided to take Shirou Emiya away.

But a strong sense of stimulation came from behind me.

Without any hesitation, Arthur tilted his head downwards.

A silver light appeared where he had been standing.

Chapter 137 A Completely Unexpected Situation

"Tear-!"

Upon contact with the white mist, it felt like the body was being corroded from the inside out.

Emiya Shirou could hear a sound as if his lungs were being corroded by sulfuric acid, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

It was as if the fog in front of me was formed from an extremely high concentration of industrial sulfuric acid.

Besides his lungs, which were already in so much pain that he could hardly breathe, his skin was also being dissolved.

"This can't go on. If it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll die here soon."

The rise of the white mist was extremely eerie, but Shirou Emiya and Arthur both immediately thought it might be a kind of magic to obscure their vision.

Things like smoke bombs shouldn't have such a severe impact on the human body.

Moreover, their purpose in this trip was to take the Black Assassin to the castle of the Yggdrasil, and they were allies.

Furthermore, Mordred, who appeared nearby, was acquainted with Shirou Emiya and Arthur. Since they were fighting, she shouldn't be able to harm him.

At least, Shirou Emiya believed that as one of the Knights of the Round Table, Arthur's "son" would not do such a despicable thing.

Moreover, it wasn't that Emiya hadn't taken any precautions; he just didn't think it was necessary to wear "Possessed by Demons" on the streets all day long.

He had already projected the [Evil Spirit Possession] technique, carrying it by his side like a knight's sword.

To avoid having to project the image before putting it on in a crisis.

Using it directly is much faster than using a projector.

Now is the time to use [Haunted by Evil Spirits].

"【Possessed by Evil Spirits】!"

In the blink of an eye, the armor shut out the extremely thick fog.

Emiya was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

It was only then that he noticed Arthur's battle behind him.

After all, just now, Emiya's entire attention was focused on how to survive, and he didn't notice any changes in his surroundings.

"Oppressors! Oppressors! Oppressors who wield the sharp blade of power, trampling the weak underfoot!!!!!"

The roars kept coming from in front of Arthur.

A towering, chained man wielded a massive sword, his movements illogical and erratic, purely for the sake of wielding and attacking.

There were no moves or techniques involved; it was as if a child was haphazardly using a weapon.
