Chapter 1405: Serious Situation? (1/2)
Shigisoara.
In the vast hall, several figures were gathered together there and those figures were surprisingly servants of the Red Faction.
Karna leaned against the wall, holding his lancer, closing his eyes, and resting.
Achilles was also leaning on the pillar while whistling lightly, seemed to be bored.
Atalante held her bow and put a serious expression on her face.
In addition to those three servants, the Assassin of Red was also present with a mysterious temperament, and a smile like a poisonous flower appeared on her beautiful face.
Even if there were four servants in this hall, there was only one master present.
The overseer of the Holy Grail War and one of the masters of the Red Faction, Shirou Kotomine.
Shirou closed his eyes as if he was communicating with an invisible existence.
It wasn't until later that he opened his eyes.
”Hmm?”
All the servants immediately reacted and cast their eyes on Shirou Kotomine.
”How is it?”
Assassin directly asked her master.
Atalante also looked at Shirou.
However, Shirou was silent.
Seeing Shirou's reaction, the others also realized something.
”Failed?”
Achilles didn't feel disappointed but seemed to be gloating, he felt happy that Shirou's plan had failed.
”Even my Noble Phantasm didn't work on him?”
Atalante frowned.
Only Karna, still leaning against the wall, closed his eyes, and rested, ignoring all the presence and conversation within the hall.
Shirou raised his eyes and looked at everyone with a helpless expression before he told them about the news that he had received.
”Berserker has lost.”
A simple sentence caused a shock to everyone in this hall!
The meaning of this sentence was clear and simple, and no one was dumb enough to not understand the news which was told by Shirou.
”Has Berserker been killed?” The gloat on Achilles's face disappeared, replaced by a shock, and asked Shirou, ”Didn't you use a Command Spell to summon him back? Why has he been killed?”
”I did.”
Shirou nodded truthfully, but there was still a helpless expression on his face, and replied, ”But there might be a problem with the Command Spell or something.”
”Problem?” Atalanta's brow furrowed deeper and deeper. In the end, she asked Shirou, ”What's going on? What do you mean by a problem?”
”I don't know.”
Shirou let out a long sigh and said, ”But my best guess is that Berserker is being killed at a very fast speed before he is able to return.”
”........”
Hearing Shirou's answer, all the servants turned in silence.
'Very fast speed?'
But then...
”But if he was very fast, why didn't he kill his Archer too?” The Assassin of Red asked with a frown.
”Hey! What do you mean by that?!” Achilles was furious.
Assassin snorted, ignored Achilles, and continued with her explanation.
”He is extremely fast, right? If so, then he should be able to kill Archer.”
Shirou didn't answer Assassin's question but looked at Atalanta since it seemed that she had an idea.
”Do you know something, Archer?”
”Well, my guess might be wrong, but he might have a soft spot for a female or he might not be able to attack a female,” Atalante said.
”Hmm?”
Hearing Atalante's words, everyone's presence turned their attention toward Atalante.
”In my case, when I fought him at that time, he had a chance to snap my neck, but he didn't do so,” Atalanta said.
Shirou smiled and asked, ”Interesting, but that isn't enough for you to make such a conclusion, right?”
”Not exactly.” Atalante shook her head and said, ”When he fought Assassin of Black at that time, he didn't fight beat up Assassin, but rather held her in a place without doing anything. By the way, the Assassin of Black is also a female.”
