I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The sky gradually darkened before we knew it.

Martha has been sitting in front of the TV for over fifteen hours!

Amidst the roaring sounds outside, Martha looked up at the window: "What? They're fighting again! How annoying—wait a minute! After I finish watching, anyone who dares to cause trouble will get a good Ora Ora! That's right! Ora Ora is the real romance!"

It just so happens that she's not in a good mood right now, since she just happened to see the protagonist of JOJO being tortured so much by that Stand user called "Lover"!

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora ——————"

Just then, a sound came from the television, which drew her attention.

Whatever happens in the Holy Grail War, let's finish watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure first!

"So handsome—!"

For thirty seconds, the uninterrupted "Ora Ora" made the Iron Fist Saintess's eyes shine with a dazzling light—

That's it! Okay—

Martha temporarily turned off the TV, picked up the staff lying nearby, thought for a moment, and then simply threw it away: "A woman's romance is just Ora Ora! She doesn't need a staff or anything!"

So—this...the saintess who had been hiding her personality with her staff has completely forgotten all that. All she wants now is to find a Servant for a fun Ora Ora session!

......

Let's rewind a bit...

Just as night fell—

An Assassin headed towards the direction of the Holy Church...

Lehman stood at a distance, watching the direction where Assassin had disappeared, and took a slight breath: "Go... Since it's Assassin, kill as many as possible, whether they're members of the Holy Church or Servants... In short, the more the better!"

The organizer of this Holy Grail War was Barthezmello of the Clock Tower's noble faction, and the Greater Grail was also obtained by their faction, so they had nothing to say about it.

This includes the use of the Holy Grail this time...

Now that they have eight Servants, there's no reason for them to lose.

That's right... there are eight.

A Master who originally belonged to the Black Faction defected and was even willing to offer his Command Seals. In return, he only hoped that Barthemello would take the lead in transplanting his Magic Imprint to someone else.

This person was none other than Matou Kariya.

That's a magic crest that's been passed down for hundreds of years... Although no one knows how many generations that magic crest has been passed down since Zouken Matou died, one thing is certain: it's undoubtedly a high-level magic crest.

Magicians eyeing this thing would probably fill all of London, though... that's a bit of an exaggeration, since all the magicians in the world combined probably wouldn't be enough to fill it...

If it were auctioned off, even with the risk of rejection, it would definitely fetch an astronomical price.

Especially those nouveau riche magicians.

They would be willing to spend their entire fortune to achieve this.

Because acquiring it would mean they weren't just nouveau riche, but rather established magical nobles with a rich history...

This is still very important... Just look at Barthez's attitude towards magicians. He lets those who have been passed down for thirteen generations say a word, but kills those who have been passed down for seven generations.

It's important to know that within the Clock Tower, five generations of a family already makes one a noble, and seven generations gives one something to boast about.

However, this only applies to ordinary magicians... it's not enough to defeat Barthezello.

So now that victory is assured, what we need next is nothing but achievements!

It doesn't matter if that Servant dies, as long as... they can kill those members of the Holy Church! The more the better!

Chapter 227 Assassination—

Meanwhile, just as one of the Mage's Association Assassins was infiltrating towards the Holy Church, another Assassin was also infiltrating towards the pyramid outside the city—

no doubt.

This is Dior's Assassin, Jing Ke!

There's no need to worry about anything else; just go and kill. Sending those emperors to their graves is her victory, and it's also Dio's victory.

Dior's idea was very simple—

Two more days, just get through these two days and everything will be fine!

At that time, he will reach Heaven! He will gain enough power to put his mind at ease, which means—in DIO's view, as long as he ascends to Heaven, he can further evolve his Stand.

Even Gilgamesh and Odysseus are not to be feared!

“Gildes de Rais”.

DIO said, toying with the chess piece symbolizing Rider in his hand.

“Yes, Lord DIO, is there anything I can do for you?” Gilles de Rais said with a squinting smile.

"How are your preparations going?"

“Preparations are almost complete, and we can begin at any time.” Gilles de Rais smiled as he stroked the R'lyeh text in his hand.

"That's good!" DIO smiled with satisfaction.

Tonight... let's just get through this commotion caused by the Assassin's assassination attempt... and tomorrow, if nothing happens here, the Mage's Association will probably launch their own attack.

This is not good. DIO now understands very well that he does not yet have the ability to defeat those two Servants head-on.

Therefore, it is necessary to attract their attention.

What could be more captivating than a sea monster capable of destroying the city?

And... they will feed the sea monsters that appear... to make them grow stronger as quickly as possible... so that if the sea monsters spread throughout the city, it will not have any impact on DIO.

If they were killed by those Servants, wouldn't the Servants who had been fighting all day finally calm down?

That will be the time for him to take action—

On the third day, he will ascend directly to heaven and obtain everything. He doesn't care what others think; for him, the final battle will be in two days!

If possible, it would be best to save the Sea Demon for that day.

Preparing now is just a precaution...

.....

"So that's how it is. This is Rider's Noble Phantasm." Assassin Jing Ke looked at the pyramid formed by the Noble Phantasm and searched around for an opportunity to enter.

Then--

She saw the pyramid's entrance and the Sphinx standing at the entrance.

"An entrance? Or a trap?"

However... there's only one entrance.

In any case, if you want to kill Ozymandias, you have to go inside!

She didn't consider whether she could come back, even if it cost her her life; as long as she could kill that king, that would be her victory!

With that thought in mind, she concealed her presence and walked into the entrance.

Currently, the pyramid's full capabilities have not yet been revealed. DIO's intelligence network only knows about the abilities Ozymandias displayed yesterday when he intervened in the battle between Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

Jing Ke's ability to conceal his presence is only B-level.

However, she also possesses an A-level "suppression" ability, allowing her to conceal any murderous intent before launching an attack.

So... even though she didn't know if there were any surveillance devices or anything like that in the corridors of this pyramid, she went in with the worst-case scenario in mind—

The means don't matter.

As an Assassin renowned for assassinating emperors, her ability to assassinate emperors has been enhanced—

Although I failed before, I won't fail this time. This time I will succeed, I will successfully pierce the Pharaoh's heart with the dagger in my hand, sever his head, shatter his spiritual core, and end his life!

This is what assassination is all about...

Tonight's assassination attempt is not targeting someone like the Master, but rather the most difficult target: the King.

This is her.

Jing Ke!

"Click-clack—"

As Jing Ke stepped into the pyramid, he slightly turned his head, and the next moment, his expression changed. Without pausing, he no longer concealed his figure, but merely hid his killing intent perfectly.

Without hesitation, he rushed forward.

Because—the sphinx at the entrance stood up!

That's not all.

Ahead, one monster after another appeared!

In order to assassinate this Egyptian pharaoh, she naturally studied the country's history and the pharaoh's experiences. She even considered what his treasured weapon was...

However, unexpectedly, he managed to bring such monsters under his command.

That's not a monster; if you really have to call it that, it's a divine beast!

Just by looking at them, you can tell that each one of them has the combat power of a Servant! And... there are four of them just by casually glancing at them.

Behind them were two sphinxes—

If she were to fight, she might not be able to defeat one of them; just looking at her made that clear. So she bypassed him! She went straight past him, directly through the corridor, relying on her agility to charge directly towards the Pharaoh!

She was discovered the moment she stepped into the pyramid.

This pyramid is Osmandis's inherent boundary, an inherent boundary that erodes reality and occupies a place in reality, an inherent boundary that erodes reality with its heart and truly changes reality.

Everything inside was under the control of that Pharaoh—

Although Jing Ke was unaware of all this, it did not hinder her progress.

Overcome it!

go ahead!
