Chapter 1645: Two Against One

On the west side of Fuyuki City, underground in an abandoned warehouse, there’s a not-so-large secret room, about 50 square meters, with candles lit inside, casting dim light.

A priest sits on a wooden chair, with a glass of red wine beside him, and various documents laid out on the table. In such a dull and closed environment, a normal person would feel discomfort long ago, but this priest remains calm, as this place is safe enough to keep him undefeated in a short time.

The priest’s expression is somewhat confused while reading, as he’s recently been having a sense of ominous foreboding. It feels like someone is watching him, yet this feeling seems somewhat unreal. The identity of this priest is Kirei Kotomine, and he doesn’t seem to be in a cheerful mood now.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion was heard from the door, and the priest on the wooden chair stood up and assumed a combat stance, a shadow quickly passing in front of him.

After the urgency of the sound tearing through the air, Kirei Kotomine feels a piercing pain from his back.

With a “pfft,” a long knife penetrates Kirei Kotomine’s chest. He looks down at the blood-stained tip of the blade, needing no guess that it must be a Heroic Spirit attacking him.

“It seems…my speed is indeed faster.”

Su Xiao behind Kirei Kotomine lets out a long breath. He managed to arrive so quickly due to his cooperation with Bubu Wang.

Firstly, Su Xiao used the Duke of Extinction to long-range snipe the three of Stan, taking this opportunity for Bubu Wang, who had been tracking the three, to start a frantic sprint towards Kirei Kotomine’s location.

When the three of Stan rushed out of the shooting range of the Duke of Extinction, Bubu Wang immediately used the “Heirloom of the Wolf Clan.” Su Xiao rushed towards the three of Stan not to engage but to hurry to the coordinate of the starting point set by Bubu Wang.

After sprinting for a few minutes, Bubu Wang set the endpoint, using the “Heirloom of the Wolf Clan” to drag Su Xiao near him, allowing Su Xiao to surpass the three of Stan in one move, heading straight for Kirei Kotomine.

As for whether Blood Gate possesses space-type abilities or scrolls, Su Xiao is gambling, betting that this Fourth Tier Adventure Team doesn’t have overly high-tier spatial tools or abilities, such as Anywhere Door capabilities, which Tier Four cannot access.

It’s worth noting that the “Heirloom of the Wolf Clan” is a Legendary Level gear with a rating of 508 points, and even so, using the “Heirloom of the Wolf Clan” for teleportation requires setting a starting point and endpoint, not just an Anywhere Door to go wherever you wish.

Su Xiao also has a space-type ability Dragon Shadow Flash, which indeed allows free movement, but the movement distance of this ability is only 12 meters.

According to Su Xiao’s understanding, space abilities that allow arbitrary movement often don’t have long distances. For longer ones, it’s very slow, needing to set a formation diagram, designate coordinates, etc. The extremely precise ability that instantly moves tens of kilometers requires spatial coordinates, like the “Heirloom of the Wolf Clan.”

Moreover, for ultra-long-distance spatial movement without a spatial formation diagram, most are random types. If unfortunate, one could end up inside a building, crushed by the space and the building.

If Blood Gate does have an ability to instantly move near Kirei Kotomine, Su Xiao willingly accepts this failure. Such an ability or scroll, even a Fifth Tier contractor wouldn’t have.

Su Xiao just pierced Kirei Kotomine’s heart with a knife when a spider crawled out from the skylight of the basement, its eight eyes simultaneously fixating on Su Xiao.

Above the basement, in front of the abandoned warehouse door, Naloi abruptly stopped and opened the adventure group channel, using the team arbitrator’s authority to send an urgent message.

Inside Blood Gate’s team channel:

Naloi (Team Arbitrator): “The team’s main task is about to fail, all team members in the Holy Grail World should immediately leave the team.”

This team message appeared before all Blood Gate Adventure Group members in the Holy Grail World, and most of the more than a hundred members stood there in disbelief. Did they lose just like that? Until now, they hadn’t even seen the enemy’s face.

If an adventure group’s main task is about to fail, the contractors have one chance, enduring a 60% deduction of all attributes and a 50% deduction of all property, to forcefully leave the adventure group. Is this emergency escape? No, this is chronic death.

In the basement, Su Xiao just pierced Kirei Kotomine’s chest with a knife when a rumbling sound came from above, Stan and a large piece of building debris fell together.

As soon as Su Xiao heard the rumbling sound from above, his long knife swept aside, and a pale blue light spread from the Dragon Slash as the center point, hundreds of tiny blade auras spread within Kirei Kotomine’s body.

With a whoosh, Kirei Kotomine’s body shattered, almost simultaneously, the Blood Gate Adventure Group instantly reduced by 76 members, who were consecutively teleported out of the Holy Grail World. These people no longer had the qualifications to continue fighting Su Xiao, and they wouldn’t easily reveal their past affiliation with Blood Gate, as to other members, they hesitated for a moment and were too late, the punishment for leaving the team was too severe.

In the basement, Stan looked at Kirei Kotomine’s shattered body, as well as his heart, once contaminated by Holy Grail’s mud but now slashed to minced flesh; the team’s main task, failed.

Stan’s neck veins bulged, his fists clenched with a cracking sound.

“Screw it, where did a Plague God like you come from?”

Old Smoker walked calmly into the basement, lighting a cigarette, deeply inhaling.

“Bai Ye, even if I lose, I won’t die by your hand, remember, my name is Old Smoker.”

Old Smoker exhaled a puff of blue smoke, the corner of his mouth curling up, even if he died, he’d die with dignity.

A chain appeared behind Old Smoker out of thin air, piercing his spine, his skin showing cracks like shattered ceramics, then gradually peeling off, in the blink of an eye, Old Smoker turned to ashes, dissipating into the air.

Even though Su Xiao had witnessed the forced executions of contractors several times, the terrifying wave during forced executions remained etched in his memory. If one day he senses that wave up close, that might be the day he dies.

In the basement, Stan silently stared at Su Xiao. Strangely, he wasn’t forcibly executed, a curvaceous figure jumped down from above, it was Naloi; she wasn’t forced executed either, which made Su Xiao realize that the two likely had the privilege of immunity from the main task failure, something he received a long time ago and still had. However, after using such privileges, Stan and Naloi couldn’t stay long in this world, and all profits from this world are cleared.

“Naloi, your biggest weakness is your soft-heartedness.”

Stan spoke, and when Naloi sent the message that the main task was about to fail in the team channel, she used the team arbitrator’s authority. That message was seen not only by members in the Holy Grail World but also by members in other Derivative Worlds. So many members left the team simultaneously, and dozens were forcibly executed; members in other worlds couldn’t help but notice, leading to Blood Gate’s adventure group upheaval.

“I’m different from you; I don’t have your cruelty. Although each member is a bastard, a murdering maniac, since they follow me through life and death, I won’t let them be forcibly executed without knowing.”

Naloi’s body gradually changed, although she was somewhat flirty, she was definitely a strong woman.

“A woman’s benevolence.”

Stan ignored Naloi and looked at Su Xiao. Now the situation is simple, two against one.
