Chapter 36: Haoshoku Haki

"Hurry up, the guys from the red team have already stolen our holy grail! To us it's nothing more than an insult."

Although the black Lancer is still Mihawk's slashing product, he is currently fighting with the black Servants in the corridor of the aerial fortress. As soon as they got up here, they quickly Go around the fortress to search for the great saint taken by the red team.

"Does Lancer know where the great saint is in this fortress?"

Next to him was black Caster leading a group of Golems, followed by two people, Chiron and black Berserker, who had just arrived here not long ago.

"I'm not sure yet, but the great saint is just around here, so what we need to do is destroy the enemy before they use the eight saints."

Lancer was still leading Black when Chiron realized that they were missing someone.

"Where is the black Rider?"

"I don't know, most likely I'm still down there or I've been killed."

On the ground not far from Ygg's castle, the black Rider is currently facing a series of Sekeloton right after the red Assassin seriously injured him, so he is currently having to fight hard.

"There really are a lot of them! That damn red Assassin, I would have been killed when approaching the fortress, so I sent them poison..."

While I was still thinking, I was caught off guard for a moment, but behind me the Skeletons jumped up with weapons to attack and when the black Rider turned, they were too close, they had already approached and were about to kill. you.

"Oh no!"

Thinking that he would not be able to avoid being attacked by them, at that moment Sieg appeared and slashed them with his sword, followed by another Homoculus appearing to rescue the black Rider, destroying the Skeletons surrounding the Rider. .

"You are...no way why are you here Sieg!?."

Rider was very surprised by Sieg's appearance. Right now he had to stay away from the war and live a normal life, but right now Sieg was on the battlefield. Not only that, there were other Homoculus following him. Then, after killing the Skeletons, Sieg immediately went to the Black Rider's place to send his regards.

"Rider is really okay, you're okay! If we hadn't taken action, they would have definitely killed you."

"Ah... well, forget it! Why are you here? Am I already willing to go away from this new thing and live a normal life?"

"Rider I know that if I stay away from this country I can live a normal life, but what about Homoculus? Every time I see how happy and cheerful everyone around me is, how about Other Homoculus have to endure fighting and death, they don't have their own lives or any choices for their own lives, so I'm here to help them make decisions for their lives. their lives."

Sieg stood in front of the Black Rider with the other Homoculus around, declaring and voicing his determination for them, and the Black Rider was moved by his friend's thoughts, words and actions.

"Even though I don't want to create any style for this war...I can't ignore your mind Sieg, so I'll help you free the Homoculus."

"Thank you! Let's go now."

"Um."

He and Sieg were about to leave when a woman appeared from behind.

"Surely what are you doing, Rider?"

With this familiar voice, he recognized who that woman was.

"Master...is that you!."

"Yes  yes it's me Rider."

Returning to the throne in the air, right now in the room containing the great holy grail that the red team took from the black team's castle, at the same time all the Servants of both teams were here and not only that. There was also Akumasa Shirou standing next to the red Assasin behind the red Servants.

"I didn't expect that you would find the place where we are keeping the great holy grail, team black."

After Akumasa had a word with the black team, he silently used telepathy to talk to the red Assassin.

"Do you know why they were able to get in here?"

"I don't know! Surely something or someone changed the structure of the fortress, so they were able to get here so easily."

Even the red Assain was somewhat surprised by the appearance of the black team in this room, something that should have been impossible unless passing through her room, but now that is no longer important right now in this room. This room has gathered almost all of the Servants of the two teams except for the red Saber and black Rider, and if anyone does even a little bit, a battle will inevitably occur, when both teams are fighting. stood watching and guarding each other when the black Lancer stepped forward, stood facing the red team and spoke.

"There's no need for you to praise the red team, now all you need to do is give us back the great holy grail that you stole from us."

Black Lancer, with his kingly personality, orders the red team to return the great holy grail to him, but with this being the great holy grail war, everyone who participates has the goal of realizing their wishes for the holy grail. great holy grail, then it is almost obvious that the red team will not hand over the great holy grail to the red team and red Acher has refused.

"We refuse with your ridiculous decision Black Lancer, do you think we will give you a big bowl!."

"I know, but I'm saying this to give you a chance to redeem yourself."

He spoke in an arrogant and commanding tone to the Red Acher, and with her lion-like temper, she was almost uncontrollable and was about to shoot her arrow at him when the Red Assasin stopped her.

"Okay, you don't have to get angry Acher, the great holy grail is in our hands so there's no need to be provoked by those words from the enemy."

"...You're right! I was almost provoked by him! Thank you Assassin."

She lowered her anger and returned to her normal state. After seeing that, Black Lancer just said "TSK" and grimaced.

"If you refuse to return the great holy grail, then I will have to destroy you and then it will be over...the entire army will attack."

The first person to attack was the black Berserker. She ran forward and used her staff to try to swing at Akumasa's body, but was blocked by Assasin with a shield that was similar to her dragon scales, then the red Assasin. summoned chains aimed directly at the black Berserker even though those chains had been smashed by the black Berserker. Although quite uncomfortable, the red Assasin still maintained a confident smile. In another corner, the red Acher and Chiron were two people. They were in a battle of archers. Red Acher with his superior speed and agility caused Chiron many difficulties, causing him to constantly move to avoid.

"You are truly a good archer, Red Acher!"

"Thank you for your compliment Black Acher, but as I see it, you are also a good archer."

Both of them temporarily stopped the match to compliment each other on their ability to use bows in battle. While both of them were still laughing, they both immediately shot arrows at their opponent, but the two arrows collided. touching and destroying each other, no one was hit and their fight continued, in the middle of the fight Black Lancer was fighting Karn.

"You can't stop me, Red Lancer, the great grail will return to me and the Yggdmilennia family, and with my power, if it weren't for that Dracule Mihawk's intervention, you would have been defeated by me." it's along time."

Black Lancer confidently fought Karna, but if Mihawk hadn't appeared, the winner on the battlefield would have been him, not that Mihawk had sent him flying away with quite a serious wound caused by Mihawk, and now Currently, the following wound is still on his body even though it is recovering gradually but slowly, but Karna does not think so.

"I don't think so, Black Lancer. Even if you're still underground or without Mihawk's presence, you still won't be able to beat me, especially up here."

"???"

Karna immediately knocked back the black Lamcer, causing him to stagger and be surprised. When he wondered why he was so easily knocked out by him, the black Lancer tried to reshape his standing position and prepare to summon the pillars, but but could not because Karna's spear attacked the wound previously caused by Mihawk, causing black Lancer pain and bleeding.

"It's just as I thought, below ground your strength is indeed worthy of being called very strong, but it seems like it can only be exerted within your own territory, but up here is the area." The Hanging Gardens of Babylon that our Assassins rule over are not your territory, so right now you are no longer a hero who saved the country, Vlad the Third."

As he spoke, Karna walked towards Vlad's door and raised his spear, preparing to finish Vlad off.

"You've lost and goodbye."

As soon as he raised the spear, his body suddenly became painful and he fell to his knees. Seeing this, Vlad laughed.

"Hahaha!! It seems like your body also suffered quite a bit of damage from Dracule Mihawk?"

"No way! Why am I injured at this time? This pain feels like not only the outside but also the inside is injured and it still hasn't fully recovered."

Currently, the condition of both of them is quite balanced with each other, everyone is injured and weakened, and while the above battles are going on, right under the great holy grail, Akumasa is standing thoughtfully thinking about what happened. it happened.

"It's strange that they were able to come here without having to go to Assad's place! What did they do to be able to come here so easily? Not only that, right when I was preparing to control Those Masters transferred the rights to be the Masters of their red team's Servants to me. If it weren't for their sudden appearance when they entered this place, what would this all mean? And it seems like Caster is the name. And it seems like Black Caster why didn't he join the black team's battle?.:"

While Akumasa was thinking about what was happening and the Servants' battles going on, she was tense, when suddenly in this tense atmosphere.

"BAP...BAP...BAP"

The whole area and all the people present immediately heard a clapping sound from afar, and they all temporarily stopped their battle and looked in that direction and saw the red Caster who was clapping. .

"That's Red Caster! Since when has he been here!?."

"Whoa! Looks like everyone here is fighting hard, isn't it? Oh, what an exciting and thrilling battle between the black and red factions."

Everyone was surprised and the black team was wary of his unexpected appearance, while the red team seemed quite uncomfortable with his attitude.

"Hey Caster, stop being a literature fanatic and fight with us."

Karna expressed some dissatisfaction with him and told him to stop doing nonsense and fight, and so did Akumasa.

"Caster, why are you still standing there? Come over here and help us!"

But in response to that order, Caster only smiled slightly.

"It's very difficult, sir."

"What do you mean!?"

Akumasa was surprised by that surprising answer from him and the whole red team.

"Caster, what do you mean by that? We're on the same side, you bastard!!"

The red assassin was angry and immediately wanted to kill Caster, but was stopped by Akumasa.

"Hoo! It seems like your red team is having internal conflicts, isn't it, priest?"

Black Lancer became excited at the events happening in front of him. Although Akumasa wanted to respond to black Lancer, red Caater was now acting strangely.

"I ask you why you don't want to join the fight, Caster?"

"It's not for anything, it's simply an order from the Master."

"Master...could it be!!?."

"That's right! It's me Akumasa Shirou Tokisada."

Suddenly, from behind Akumasa, Anos had been standing behind, causing him to immediately jump away and get closer to Assasin and everyone else also turned their gaze to him, who was said to be the Master of Akumasa. Red Caster.

"Isn't that the Master of Red Caster? Why is he here? Shouldn't he have been blinded by our illusions, Master?"

"I thought so too, but it seems like he's already escaped, and worst of all, the other four have escaped as well."

Worry was evident on both of their faces. Seeing that worried face, Anos smiled contemptuously.

"You don't need to worry like that! Those Masters are still immersed in their illusions, and I'm the only one who's not hurt."

"What?? What do you mean the Masters are immersed in an illusion, Caster's Master? What have you done to our Master!?."

Red Acher and Karna became angry when they heard about their Master being in trouble.

"You don't have to be so angry! Because it wasn't me who did it, it was those two."

"Huh?."

Following the direction Anos's hand was pointing, they both immediately looked to see it pointing in the direction of Akumasa and Red Assasin, and thus they recognized it due to their words and the worried expressions on their faces.

"It couldn't be Assassin's Master!...Don't tell me what you did to our Master?"

"Damn it's been exposed."

Akumasa became quite upset and worried that his plan had not yet been completed, but was discovered by two people, Red Acher and Red Lancer.

"That guy, what are you planning?

that made him almost angry.

"What's wrong, Akumasa? Why are you scared when you look at your face like that?"

"You bastard! How dare you mock my Master!!"

"Wait Assassin!."

The red Assassin had been very upset in her heart since he appeared and made a mess of everything, but she still kept her composure to observe him, but when he started to make trouble and taunt her. Akumasa, she could no longer keep calm in her heart and immediately used her technique to attack him, before Akumasa's obstruction and at the same time when everyone was paying attention to Anos and Assasin along with Akumasa.

"There is an opening!"

"What!?."

And when the red team was showing signs of internal turmoil, Black Lancer took the opportunity to attack Karna, and not only that, but Chiron, Berserker and Black Caster simultaneously attacked Red Acher, Akumasa and Red Assassin and Red Caster, their lack of preparation and focusing their attention on Anos made the whole red team surprised.

"It's not done! I was too negligent!"

Just when it was thought that the victory belonged to the black team in the face of this sudden attack, there was still one person who remained calm in the face of the sudden attack of the black team and that was Anos even though he was also being attacked. target of their attack, but he just smiled softly and closed his eyes and then when he opened his eyes...

"You all stay still for me."

He just glared, but just a second later, a series of black and red lightning bolts were released to attack the Servants' bodies. The power and killing intent of this power was so strong that it caused them pain, and that was Haoshoku Haki.

His Conqueror's Haki was so strong that even the surrounding environment was affected by the pressure, causing solid pillars to crack, including floors and walls, places where his Conqueror's Haki was applied. Everyone passing by was damaged as if they had just gone through a brutal war, and the entire fortress in the sky was shaking due to the powerful Haki of the Overlord, and not only that, this power also spread out. everywhere is not only the fortress but also the battlefield below.

At the castle, all the people and Homoculus there were unconscious and their eyes widened at the power of Haoshoku Haki that had just been released, and even where Sieg and the black Rider were standing could not avoid being awakened. personnel, except for three people, Sieg, Black Rider and Black Rider's Master, were still conscious.

"What…what is this scarring pressure? Why was it that as soon as it started, everyone lost consciousness? And you too, Sieg, are you okay?"

Black Rider panicked and looked around with worry. At the same time, he also asked Sieg's condition and he answered.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Even though I don't know who caused this, this pressure is really scary."

"I think so too!"

While both of them were confused, the black Rider's Master just smiled slightly, with his eyes turning red for just a moment and then returning to normal.

"So Mr. Anos has made his move, oh how happy I am."

At the same time, MC Khanh Minh's place was also affected by Anos's Haoshoku Haki.

"What's going on?! What is this murderous intent?...it's terrible!."

Ruler trembled slightly and looked up at the fortress with a pair of big eyes staring at the man emitting that murderous aura. It made her feel as if she was facing a terrifying monster. She is telling you to leave here immediately, and Khanh Minh is no better than the other boys who are also under the influence of Anos's Haki.

"What the hell is this? My mind...it's so stressful! If it keeps like this, it's not good at all, I have to try to return it quickly."

Not far away, Jeanne was also being affected by Conqueror's Haki, at the moment when Conqueror's Haki was activated on her while fighting the red Berserker, as soon as it affected her, she immediately Her mind was almost overwhelmed by it and she almost lost consciousness. Just as Jeanne was still trying to maintain her consciousness, the red Berserker stepped closer.

"Damned! It's not good, now with this state of mind, I'll be attacked by him while I'm defenseless."

Jeanne immediately tried with all her might to pick up her weapon and prepare to fight the red Berserker again, when she saw him looking up at the sky or more precisely the fortress and he burst out laughing.

"Despot! Despot! So you're up there right now I'm going to your place Tyrant!."

As if he had found his grave, that Berserker ignored Jeanne and ran madly towards the sky fortress, and she breathed a sigh of relief after seeing him leave.

"Luckily he's gone, now I have to hurry and get the Master's place quickly."

Even though she wanted to leave Khanh Minh's place as quickly as possible, due to the pressure wave of Haoshoku Haki still spreading everywhere, she still couldn't go, and at Artoria's place, she was still fighting with Mordred.

"Why does your father feel this way? I tried my best to make people accept my child, but so what? Even in death, you still haven't accepted me once!!?."

Mordred became even more frantic when attacking Artoria, each swing of their swords created winds that blew dust around, the ground also caved in many places and echoed. of metal and sparks caused by the friction of the two swords. At the same time, while attacking and blocking, Artoria also answered Mordred's question.

"As I said when I was still with you, due to your lack of ability to be king and your personality and immaturity, Mordred, until you realize it, only then can you know the truth. my answer."

While still speaking, Artoria put Mordred's sword on the ground and kicked Mordred in the stomach, causing her to be thrown away and hit the ground.

"Again… those cold eyes, no matter how hard I try, I only get these cold words and eyes in return? I was disappointed that after I died and became a Servant, people could recognize me...but I was mistaken, my father is still the same, after all, if that's the case then I will fight to the death again with dad."

With his final decision, Mordred stood up, clutching his sword.

"I will finish you off again right now Arthur!! Enough of your insensitivity and remorselessness…initiating the Nobel Phantasm."

Artoria was a bit surprised by Mordred's decision because it was too hasty and thoughtless, but as a knight king, in response to that attack, she also decided to use Nobel Phantasm.

"In that case, I will also use Nobel Phantasm."

The two infused a large amount of mana into their weapons, preparing to unleash their trump card.

"Blood Athu…."

"Excalibur Morga…"

Right before his Nobel Phantasm, a murderous aura pressure ran down both of their spines and minds, immediately due to the influence of Haoshoku Haki, causing the two of them to collapse to the ground.

"What is this pressure? It's so strong, it's like I'm facing a strong person who appears to me a hundred times and makes me tremble."

Now the whole battlefield has been covered by Anos's Haki, no one on the battlefield can escape, and now in the air fortress Mihawk has also reached this person, and the person on the way to Anos's place without affected by Haki at all.

"Is that guy trying to show off or is he emitting this amount of Haki? Anyway, I have to go to his place to see what the situation is like, and you too, mage."

Mihawk looked down at his left hand, which was holding a man covered in injuries, Danic.

To Be Continued.
