"Oh, right, you don't need to worry about the Command Spells anymore."
Bai Luo said, "Your Command Spells have been overridden by my Retainer Contract. Wei Gong Qie Si can no longer command you."
"Thank you."
Artoria quickly adjusted to her new identity.
There was no other way; Wei Gong Qie Si was simply too unpopular.
For Artoria not to bite her former Master, she had already shown the utmost benevolence.
"When will you act against Assassin?"
"When I am fighting Jin Shan Shan."
Bai Luo said, "With him there, it would be very dangerous for you to go."
"I'm not afraid of that guy!"
"Alright."
Bai Luo: "Then let me rephrase it. He is a prey I have my eyes on. Can you let him go for me?"
"I understand, Master!"
"You're being too formal. Just call me Bai Luo."
"Okay, Bai Luo."
Artoria was very satisfied with her new lord and had hope for the future.
Afterward, Artoria saw Sakura.
She had no idea that Bai Luo's Master would be such a young girl.
"This child is Sakura; I rescued her from the Matou Family."
Bai Luo explained Sakura's situation.
After listening, Artoria was greatly displeased with the Matou Family and The Tohsaka Family: "Pushing such a young child into a pit of fire, why are all the mages in this world such people!"
First Kiritsugu, then Tokiomi, and also Kirei Kotomine and Kays.
It seemed that, except for Waver, none of the modern mages were good people.
"Rest well tonight."
Bai Luo connected the Dragon Vein Node to Saber, allowing her to draw magical power from it.
With Avalon's scabbard, the Holy Sword, and the support of the Dragon Vein's magical power,
with such strength, let alone a mere Assassin, Artoria had a good chance of winning against even Conqueror and Gilgamesh.
Just like that, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the night of the second day.
Bai Luo and Artoria acted separately.
The former stayed at Ryudoji Temple, while the latter, accompanied by the Oniwaban's ninjas, located Hundred-Faced Hassan.
At the same time, Wei Gong Qie Si and Kirei Kotomine also began their actions.
The two met again, just like in the original story, and a fierce gun battle erupted.
"Boom!!"
"Bang bang bang bang~~"
The invisible magical barrier constantly shook under the bombardment of the Treasure, and the cracks on it became more and more obvious, indicating it wouldn't last much longer.
"You've arrived, Gilgamesh."
Behind the gate of Ryudoji Temple, Bai Luo stood there, waiting for Jin Shan Shan's arrival.
Sakura had been placed by Bai Luo within his Inherent Barrier.
It was very safe there and would not be affected by anything.
"Go, test the waters."
"Yes!"
Shion hoisted her long blade and, leading the Zike Crowd, charged towards the mountain gate.
Bai Luo paid no attention to the battle there.
His attention was focused on Artoria, waiting for the moment she would utterly defeat Assassin.
As for now...
Bai Luo opened his attribute panel, looking at the parsing progress of King's Treasure.
[King's Treasure]
Parsing Progress: 20%
[Parsing Progress: 21%]
As Shion and Jin Shan Shan clashed again, the parsing progress began to climb at a considerable speed.
And when Shion was defeated, there was still the Ogre clan and the magic of the Witch Princess.
Are you saying this is sending them in waves?
Yes, Bai Luo was indeed sending them in waves.
It was impossible to deal with Jin Shan Shan relying on the Ogres.
After all, Gilgamesh was the strongest Heroic Spirit designated by Type-Moon.
His weak performance in the original work was mainly because Jin Shan Shan was not serious and fought too carelessly.
Once he became serious and fully prepared, he was definitely the most terrifying existence.
However, Bai Luo's trump card against Jin Shan Shan was not the Ogres.
"Can't I go yet?"
The Ice Empress was getting a little impatient.
"If you want to go, you can."
Bai Luo's words greatly displeased the Ice Empress: "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it means."
Bai Luo patted Egui Peng's head and then took the Ice Empress's hand: "These are my left and right arms. As for you, Ice Empress, you were just a bonus from a phone top-up."
"Ugh!"
The Ice Empress wanted to bite him, but Bai Luo was speaking the truth.
So infuriating!
This guy was truly vexing.
"Bing'er, don't be impulsive."
Snow Empress said, "I still need your power."
Thankfully, she still had Xue'er.
The Ice Empress glared fiercely at Bai Luo, then moved closer to the Snow Empress, cuddling with her.
"This amount of magical power is a bit too abnormal 0 ...."
Gradually, as the battle grew more intense, Bai Luo noticed something was amiss.
Jin Shan Shan was indeed strong.
But to defeat over 30 Ogres in such a short time was truly beyond common sense.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Bai Luo thought of a possibility.
"Rumble!"
It was also at this moment that the mountain gate completely collapsed, the barrier shattered, and a figure clad in golden armor appeared before Bai Luo.
"These mongrels truly wasted a lot of this King's time!"
Golden ripples flickered around Jin Shan Shan, and countless Treasures appeared and disappeared, exerting immense pressure on everyone.
"Command Seals?"
Bai Luo noticed the change on Jin Shan Shan's body.
The red patterns on his skin glowed faintly, and the magical power within them felt very similar to Command Seals to Bai Luo.
'So Kirei Kotomine still got his hands on the Holy Church's Command Seals?'
Bai Luo was a bit surprised but it was within an acceptable range.
However, he didn't know how many Command Seals Kirei Kotomine had used, and what kind of boost those Command Seals had given to Jin Shan Shan?
"Still as arrogant as ever, Jin Shan Shan."
"Hmph!"
Facing Bai Luo's taunt, Jin Shan Shan merely snorted coldly.
The next moment, a green flying ship shot out from behind him, and Jin Shan Shan leaped up, sitting atop this airship.
"Vimana?"
Bai Luo knew the origin of this flying ship; it was the glorious chariot from 0.4 "Ramayana."
"Hmm?"
But the next moment, Bai Luo saw a strange object being thrown down from Vimana.
Jin Shan Shan revealed a playful smile, as if he had been looking forward to the scene that was about to unfold.
"Zhu Cai!!"
Almost at the instant Bai Luo spoke, dozens of Witch Princesses acted simultaneously.
A large amount of magical power converged, forming a barrier even stronger than before, enveloping the courtyard of Ryudoji Temple.
"Boom!!!"
White light instantly bloomed.
Then came boundless heat, and a colossal roar that seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.
The barrier swayed precariously; although it ultimately didn't shatter, its brilliance had already faded by six or seven tenths.
This showed just how immense the power of that strike was.
