Chapter 844: The Root Cause and Everything Is Under Control
"It's really too rash to keep displaying the fatal treasure in front of everyone."
"By this commanding curse, King of Heroes, please calm down and retreat."
Tokiomi looked at the Command Seal on the back of his hand, which was missing a third of the pattern, and couldn't help but sigh.
He really couldn't understand why the 'King of Conquerors' suddenly shouted that declaration.
Otherwise, Gilgamesh would not have appeared so easily.
Even less likely to provoke the Ruler!
But maybe that's a good thing.
It is better to know the appearance of [The Adjudicator] in advance than to be caught off guard at a critical moment.
Then what he had to do next was to appease the hero king's dissatisfaction as much as possible.
Regarding this, he thinks he is still very good at it. He just needs to keep his attitude humble enough and give the other party enough face.
It’s actually similar to coaxing children.
He could endure it in order to win the Holy Grail War.
But what Tokiomi didn't know was that he still underestimated the King of Heroes a little too much.
This time he used the command spell to force him to retreat, but Gilgamesh made a serious note of him in his heart.
And this foreshadowing might bring disaster to his life.
Then there is the investigation of what is going on with this [Judge].
This is the top priority.
However, Tokiomi was not suitable to come forward, so Kotomine Rimasa had to do this.
As the supervisor of this Holy Grail War.
Kotomine Rizheng had enough suitable reasons to contact the other party without arousing suspicion.
"I hope it's not for me. Otherwise, even the [Judge] won't be able to survive until the end of the Holy Grail War."
Under the candlelight, the expressionless Tokiomi Tosaka looked particularly terrifying.
. . . . . .
There are several reasons why Abel wanted to take the initiative to fight with Gilgamesh.
The first is to reveal one's own strength and identity as a Ruler. In this case, the chance of someone provoking him will be minimized.
The second is to add a condition for yourself to be able to take action.
The [Judge] who cannot intervene in the Holy Grail War is useless, and no one will be afraid of him.
But things are different now.
He believed that after giving this ‘condition of action’, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely help him arrange everything.
Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to use his power as the [Judge] to win the Holy Grail War, so Abel was using Emiya Kiritsugu to achieve his own goals.
It can only be said that everyone gets what he needs.
In this way, many times, he can be 'forced' to intervene in the Holy Grail War openly and honestly.
When the time comes, helping Saber kill a few other servants will not arouse suspicion.
As for the third reason.
Gilgamesh is really too pretentious, and he will never allow someone who is more pretentious than him to exist.
Coupled with the assists provided by the 'Conquering King' Iskandar, how could the 'King' Abel not show up?
It can be said that everything tonight is under his control.
Including the final evacuation of Gilgamesh.
If there was no Master, what Abel did just now was equivalent to fighting with Gilgamesh to help others make wedding clothes.
But Abel understands Tokiomi so well!
This old critic would never let Gilgamesh reveal his trump card so early.
In addition, do you still remember that Abel named his identity as [Judge] at the beginning of the battle?
With Gilgamesh's arrogance, he could ignore it, but as the Master, Tokiomi couldn't ignore it.
Because the appearance of the [Judge] will only be related to the Great Holy Grail.
He has a secret in his heart, and he will instinctively wonder if his alliance with the supervisor, Kotomine Rimasa, has been exposed.
Or maybe the fact that Assassin faked his death and allowed his master Kotomine Kirei to hide in the church touched a loophole in the rules of the Holy Grail War, so the Great Holy Grail summoned the [Adjudicator] to investigate?
In this case, unless Tokiomi doesn't want to win, the pot is broken.
Otherwise, Gilgamesh will definitely be recalled immediately!
Find out what's going on first and then make plans again.
So far, Abel's plan is going well.
Even Berserker, who was supposed to be involved, didn't show up. It's probably because the master behind him was intimidated by his identity and didn't dare to act rashly.
"Lancer, come back."
"As you command, my lord."
Diarmuid Odina also retreated, taking a deep look at Artoria before leaving.
"You are the only one left now, King of Conquerors. If you need to fight, I will always be with you."
Arturia held the invisible Sword of Victory in both hands.
But when Iskandar saw that the opponent's left hand was trembling and he was just holding the sword forcefully, he immediately shook his head and said: "The battle between you and Lancer is not over yet. After you two decide the winner, , the winner will have the honor to be my opponent as the conquering king."
"Until then, I will wait. Of course, don't keep me waiting too long. Let's go."
Iskandar laughed loudly, and the Flying Hoof Thunder Ox immediately pulled up the divine wheel and flew into the air.
After all the servants left one after another, Artoria finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately dropped her left arm.
The wound was still bleeding.
"Saber, how are you, are you okay?"
Irisviel quickly stepped forward to support Artoria.
Arturia shook her head with a bad expression, "The tendon is broken, so I can't use force. Moreover, the wound cannot be healed due to the curse of the magic gun, so I have to find a way to solve it."
While Artoria was talking, Irisviel tried [Cure] several times, but it had no effect at all.
It wasn't until Illya and Abel came over that she seemed to suddenly remember and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Abel, can you remove the curse on Saber's wound?"
Artoria also looked at Abel subconsciously.
In the battle just now, she had already recognized Abel's strength, which was definitely not simple!
Coupled with the special rank of [Judge], it is no wonder that there is hope.
But Abel's answer dashed their hopes.
"I'm sorry, purifying curses is not something I'm good at."
"In addition, as the [Adjudicator], I cannot favor any party, so I cannot provide any help to your request."
Irisviel was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she could understand it.
Artoria nodded and agreed, "That's exactly what it should be. What you did was not wrong, we overstepped it."
"Thanks for understanding."
Abel maintained his persona.
"Then there is only one way left to lift the curse. The person who ties the bell must also be able to untie it."
"Defeat Lancer!"
Artoria said decisively.
Even though she almost lost one of her arms, she was still confident that she could win!
In other words, she must win!
"But your injury"
Irisviel was very worried.
"It's okay, trust me."
