Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Coupled with her unconventional fighting style, she managed to hold her own against Arthur in such a short time, showing a close and evenly matched contest.

Chapter 142 The Formidable Assassin

"I just hope that Mr. Shishio's servant can figure out the current situation and stop getting entangled with Saber."

The incredibly dense fog blocked Emiya and Shishikage Kairi's vision; even being possessed by evil spirits couldn't allow them to see the enemy's location through the layers of fog.

Emiya could only roughly determine Berserker's location by the sound of the ground shaking.

"Gulu!"

That's the sound of Emiya swallowing.

Beneath the thick fog, the Berserker's highly rhythmic vibrations gave Emiya a powerful sense of oppression. After all, Emiya had watched helplessly as his pierced chest instantly healed, and an arm even grew out of it.

He could recover from such horrific injuries in an instant; Shirou didn't know how to face him.

Moreover, Berserkers themselves are quite formidable in combat, and are virtually invincible to their Masters.

That kind of violent power is only because his Servant is extremely strong, so Berserker only seems to have strong recovery ability.

But Emiya, standing behind Arthur, could clearly feel the immense pressure emanating from that small sword that Berserker was facing.

At least Emiya wasn't confident that he could withstand one of his attacks and remain standing still.

As the vibrations drew closer, Emiya gripped the chained sword in his hand even tighter.

Meanwhile, Shi Zi Jie Li also pointed his gun in the direction from which the sound came.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just like a heartbeat, each sound made Emiya and Shishikage Kairi's hearts clench suddenly.

"O oppressor! O oppressor!"

A rough voice accompanied by a gradually approaching tremor of the earth; Emiya could only see an extremely large black shadow in the thick fog.

Its massive body was so large that the white mist could hardly conceal it. Emiya gripped his sword tightly, staring intently at the dark figure before him.

He also felt a gaze sweeping over him through the thick fog.

Emiya knew he could not wait any longer and had to act immediately. He suddenly raised his sword and thrust it forward.

But then the ground started shaking again.

Emiya thrust his sword into the thick fog ahead, but missed nothing.

Didn't he spot us?

Shishikage Kairi wiped away non-existent sweat from his armor, listened to the fading earth-shaking sounds, lowered his raised spear, and asked Emiya beside him.

Have you discovered it? You should have.

Emiya pondered the situation. At such close range, Berserker, as a Servant, couldn't have failed to notice them, yet he didn't attack them.

If he couldn't withstand the attack, Emiya was even considering using Command Seals. He wasn't a complete novice when it came to the Holy Grail War; at least Darnic had given him a lot of basic information about it.

But Emiya didn't understand why Berserker didn't choose to attack him.

He's clearly easier to deal with than Saber, isn't he?

If he were to kill himself, Arthur wouldn't have much time left in the world.

Just like Assassin did, he solved himself, and in a way, solved Arthur.

But Berserker did not do that; instead, he chose to ignore himself.

"No, I've found it!"

Before Emiya could reply, an innocent voice came from in front of him, answering Shishikage Kairi's question.

The next second, the fog in front of Emiya began to sway.

He raised his eyelids and looked over.

An innocent voice once again emanated from the mist in front of Emiya.

"Why does our big brother have to wear armor? Does he not want to hug us?"

A petite figure slowly appeared directly in front of Emiya.

A young girl who looks only about twelve or thirteen years old.

She looked extremely aggrieved, as if Emiya had done something wrong, making people want to comfort her.

"who are you?"

It was as if some memories in Emiya's brain had been erased; he only felt that the girl in front of him, with short, messy silver hair and wearing leather clothes, looked very familiar.

But he had absolutely no memory of the girl in front of him.

Faced with this lack of consistency in information, Emiya was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

She wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

A sharp blade, like an arrow, silently flashed from the silver-haired girl's hand, aiming fiercely at Emiya Shirou's abdomen.

"boom--!"

"Qiang——!"

Intense sparks flew from Emiya's abdomen, and a shallow cut appeared there.

"Ugh, that magician over there is so annoying. He was so close to succeeding."

A plume of smoke billowed from the double nozzles in the hands of the Lion's Roar.

"What are you staring at! She is Assassin!"

Instead of responding to the girl's accusations, Shishikatsu Kairi immediately reminded Emiya Shirou.

He had never seen this girl before, nor did he experience that moment of stunned silence. Almost the instant she appeared, he raised his weapon and fired at her.

As the Master, he immediately recognized the girl in front of him as a Servant.

Only a follower like Shishikage Kairi can see the various data displayed on his body.

However, Emiya forgot that after becoming a Master, he possessed the ability to view the stats of Servants.

Several finger-sized bullets collided with the blade aimed at Emiya's abdomen, creating extremely intense sparks.

While it might not be enough to injure a Servant, the power it carries is sufficient to deflect the position of the blade in her hand.

"Assassin!"

Emiya snapped out of his daze and looked at his tattered armor. The overwhelming smell of blood filled him with disgust.

Even if she wasn't an Assassin, it was enough for him to be certain that she was the enemy.

"laugh…"

That was the sound of air being cut as Emiya slashed down at the silver-haired girl in front of him without hesitation.

"Big brother's armor is so hard to cut through, but that uncle doesn't seem to have any armor that can stop my attacks!"

The silver-haired girl ignored Emiya's attack, her tone filled with resentment, seemingly expressing her dissatisfaction with the armor Emiya wore.

Emiya's slash landed on her head the moment she finished speaking, but she showed no panic whatsoever. She seemed to merge into the mist, her aura completely disappearing.

The next instant, behind Lion Jie Li, a petite figure appeared silently.

Holding the cold blade, with an innocent yet wicked smile, she forcefully stabbed at Shizi Jieli's neck.

Chapter 143 The Unsolvable Berserker

"How about a temporary truce?"

Enveloped in thick fog, Arthur asked Mordred a question.

Arthur is extremely worried about Shirou Emiya's situation. He is currently tied down by Mordred and has no idea what is happening on Shirou's side.

Intuition, however, did not grant him the ability to see through the thick fog. Arthur only knew where Emiya was, but he did not know what was happening there.

Moreover, he could see the worry in Mordred's eyes about her Master.

Mordred is not the kind of person who would abandon her Master to satisfy her own desires.

Although she was a rebel, she was also a member of the Knights of the Round Table and had her own judgment of right and wrong.

Moreover, Arthur is not Mordred's real father, and she does not have such a strong desire to fight against the King Arthur of another world.

If it were her real father, the battle would have already broken out during the day, and she would never have treated King Arthur so calmly.

However, her honor as a warrior does not allow her to request a truce from Arthur. No matter how worried she is about her Master's situation, Mordred will still choose to continue fighting Arthur.

In layman's terms, Mordred wanted to protect her Master, but was too embarrassed to tell Arthur.

Arthur saw through Mordred's thoughts and took the opportunity to make the same request, as he did not want any accidents to happen to Shirou Emiya.

"Hmph! Consider this a draw. King Arthur of the other world, let's settle this once and for all!"

Mordred, who had already put on his helmet, picked up his crimson sword and pointed it at King Arthur, shouting incoherently at him.

Mordred knew all too well the corrosive effect of the dense fog on her Master. If she hadn't immediately carried Shiki Kairi away from the fog's range, Shiki Kairi would probably have perished here.

She dared not linger for even a moment. After uttering a harsh threat, she suddenly stomped on the ground and broke through the air at an extremely terrifying speed, heading towards the direction of Lion's Tribulation Realm.

The longer it drags on, the more damage will be done to the Lion's Demise Realm.

Arthur followed closely behind, heading towards Emiya Shirou's direction.

Although Shirou Emiya was not greatly affected by the fog due to his special item, it should be noted that there were two other Servants besides the deadly fog.

Thinking of this, Arthur's blue magic surged, and he increased his speed once again as he headed towards Emiya's location.

"Hahahaha! Oppressors! Where do you think you're headed!"

Its massive body, like a small mountain, blocked Arthur and Mordred's path.

"Get out of my way!!"
