Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

He wielded the sword as if it were a giant hammer that could be swung at will, stirring up a chaotic wind as he smashed it toward Arthur's position.

"Bang————!"

With a heavy thud, Arthur, holding the invisible sword in his hand against his chest, was struck hard and forced backward.

His feet rubbed a very dark groove in the ground.

Logically speaking, Arthur shouldn't be in such a difficult standoff with that burly man.

His skills were enough to suppress Achilles, who had extreme speed, so how could he not deal with such a clumsy fellow?

The next second, Arthur gave his answer.

Emiya only felt a chill on his neck before a crimson light appeared before him without warning.

Then, a white-haired girl emerged from the white mist.

"clang--!"

The invisible sword collided with this strike, producing an extremely crisp sound in the air.

"Knight brother, you're really annoying! You're always getting in my way. If I don't get rid of him, I won't be able to save my mother!"

The white-haired girl, whose attack had been blocked, pouted and scolded Arthur with an innocent yet wicked smile.

Anyone who sees such a cute girl would feel pity for her.

However, the extremely strong smell of blood on her caused Emiya's pupils to shrink suddenly, and a katana appeared in his hand in an instant.

Just how many people did he kill to have his clothes stained crimson?

No wonder there are almost no people on the streets here at night, and no sign of life.

Emiya initially thought that Danic had given them a hint to rest early.

But it seems that the reality is not like that at all.

I'm afraid the residents here have long since—

It's worth noting that in the central area of ​​Tulifas, although most people had returned to their homes, the lights inside were still flickering.

Here, there was nothing but darkness and silence.

While fighting the burly man, Arthur also had to constantly protect Shirou Emiya's safety.

He couldn't fully concentrate on the battle in front of him; if he wasn't careful, this Assassin would cut off Shirou Emiya's head.

Unlike Rider, she doesn't have to fight heroes; killing the Master is the fastest way to get Arthur out of the game.

The girl disappeared into the white mist at an incredible speed. Even Shirou Emiya, who had fought so many battles, could not detect the white-haired girl's presence.

Back in Fujikiyama, Emiya had undergone targeted training for ambushes. Even with his eyes closed, Emiya was able to react quickly and retaliate against anyone or any demon who tried to kill him.

But this time, if it weren't for Arthur, he probably wouldn't have been able to react to the white-haired girl's attack until his own neck was severed.

Is this Assassin?

Emiya gripped the Murasame projection he had created tightly in his hand, his expression extremely cautious as he observed his surroundings.

Even when facing the weakest class in the Holy Grail War, the Assassin, I shouldn't let my guard down like this.

Perhaps it's because he became arrogant after defeating the red Archer.

Emiya gave himself a stern warning.

As for why Emiya believes Assassin is the weakest class in the Holy Grail War, that was of course told to him by Darnic.

After all, the initial knowledge of the Holy Grail War came from Danic.

However, generally speaking, Assassin is indeed the weakest class in the Holy Grail War.

Even the weakest class, Assassin, is still a Servant, and an existence that ordinary mages cannot reach.

However, in this thick fog, besides Assassin, there is another extremely difficult opponent.

The burly man in front of Arthur revealed a chilling smile.

"Oppressor! It's time to shatter your pride! Hahahaha!"

Chapter 138 Berserker and Assassin

"Is that the Red Team's Berserker?"

With a rumble of the earth, the giant with the oppressive, corpse-like blue-white skin charged toward Arthur's position, wielding a greatsword and laughing maniacally.

It seemed that for him, fighting was an extremely enjoyable thing.

"boom--!"

A powerful shockwave came from in front of Arthur, so strong that even Emiya, who was standing behind him, felt his helmet being snagged by a strong gust of wind.

The surging force even briefly dispersed the surrounding white mist, creating an open space, but it was quickly filled again in an instant.

"It could only be the Berserker from the Red side. None of the remaining Servants from the Black side that we haven't seen before would fight like this."

As Arthur parried the attacks with his sword, he answered Emiya's questions while also cautiously glancing around.

For Arthur, Berserker's attacks were extremely crude; Arthur didn't even need to focus on him to easily block his ferocious assault.

The swift attacks seemed very intense, but the fighting was not as fierce as his conflict with Achilles.

Even Mordred doesn't fight recklessly; instead, she uses more energy-efficient techniques to inflict greater damage on her enemies, relying on her intuition to fight.

"Is it a trap?"

Emiya Shirou pondered to himself, the fog covering the area, the sudden appearance of Berserker—everything was too coincidental, making one unable to help but suspect it.

But everything was indeed such a coincidence. The aura that Berserker sensed under the church originated from Arthur, which is why he disregarded all obstacles and stormed from the Red side's position towards the Yggdrasilian castle.

Because Arthur had temporarily left the Yggdrasilia family's castle, he followed the scent all the way to the border of Tulipas where Shirou Emiya and Arthur were.

At the same time, the black team also rushed towards this side at an extremely fast pace.

However, the entire block where Shirou Emiya and Arthur were located was covered by white fog, making it impossible for their familiars to pass through the highly corrosive fog, and thus preventing any information from reaching Shirou and Arthur.

"Hahahaha! Oppressor! Arrogant oppressor! Even in battle, you won't acknowledge our existence, nor will you even consider us in your sight. What humiliation! What arrogance—!"

The red Berserker laughed wildly and suddenly stepped forward, not caring whether he would be pierced or cut down by Arthur, and directly pressed down on Arthur.

Ignoring the invisible sword slashing down from Arthur's hand, the robust body surged forward.

"Pfft——!"

Only a piercing sound could be heard as the invisible sword in Arthur's hand pierced the heart of the red Berserker with unerring accuracy, but a very bad premonition came from Arthur's heart.

"Hahaha! Oppressor, arrogance!!!"

He didn't care at all that he had been pierced, and raised the greatsword in his hand, aiming it at Arthur's head without any attempt to conceal his intentions.

Arthur tried to pull the sword out of his heart, but he could only see the blue-white skin on his chest, like that of a corpse, surging. The sword seemed to be stuck and could only be pulled out at an extremely slow speed.

"Saber!"

Shirou Emiya cried out in alarm, his feet slamming into the ground as he charged forward at incredible speed to try and block the massive sword attack.

But Arthur remained extremely calm, seemingly unconcerned about the giant sword that was about to fall on his head.

All that could be heard was him muttering softly.

"Wind King Hammer!"

"boom--!"

A tremendous roar erupted in front of Arthur, and the terrifying airflow instantly dispersed the fog in the area. The chaotic impact even sent Emiya flying as he rushed forward.

The red Berserker doesn't have the same protection as the Rider; its powerful impact bursts out directly from a negative distance.

"boom--!"

The distant wall shattered into dust, and the red Berserker, like a cannonball launched from the ground, crashed into the wall at an extremely high speed.

A horrifying hole appeared in the chest of the red team's Berserker.

"It hurts! It hurts so much! This is the oppressor! This is the pain the oppressor inflicts, this is the pain the oppressor inflicts!!!! Hahahaha!!!!"

Even with his entire chest destroyed, he stood up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and his body even began to flash with red light.

In the next instant, his entire chest was rapidly filled, bulging out like a tumor, and his whole body quickly became extremely large.

Extremely deformed arms also appeared on his chest.

"More! Let me feel more of the pain inflicted by the oppressor!!!"

Wild laughter echoed throughout the street.

A crimson light suddenly pierced Berserker's chest from behind without warning.

The petite white-haired girl murmured softly, a sound only the Red Team's Berserker could hear.

"So, will this allow us to locate the enemy positions on the Red Team?"

Before the wound had fully healed, a strangely shaped worm had jumped into her shoulder.

There is a contract between the Servant and the Master, which allows the Servant to sense the location of their Master and the Master to sense the location of their Servant.

"Make way, white-haired child."

The red Berserker seemed completely unconcerned that she had pierced his chest, and his massive arm reached out to grab her.

With Assassin's agility, she could easily dodge his attack, but she didn't sense any hostility from the red Berserker's eyes.

She had just pierced his chest, so why?

The white-haired girl's eyes were filled with doubt, wanting to know how he would treat her.

The red team's Berserker grabbed her with his huge hand and gently placed her on the street.

A distinctive smile appeared on his face.

His massive arm gently stroked her head.
