Dragon of the Root

Chapter 519: Demon God's Pillar Appears

Not to mention, Wu Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gudako was fine.

Obviously, Shuten Douji didn't attack Gudako because of this Nightingale who didn't know when she appeared.

"I really failed this time. The relationship between this young lady and I is really not good." Shuten Douji seemed to let go of his resistance, and said lightly to Wu Ming.

Although Wu Ming did not understand Nightingale's abilities, since Nightingale was a nurse, it was estimated that the Noble Phantasm skill should be either medicinal or refining.

And it could be seen from Shuten Douji's current expression that Nightingale's abilities were still completely holding her back.

"That's right, Shuten-douji." Wu Ming was no longer anxious, because there were currently only two surviving Servants of the Japanese army, and Tamamo was currently standing by Wu Ming's side.

In fact, Wu Ming guessed quite well.

When Shuten-douji used poison to attack Gudako and Mashu, Nightingale walked out of the forest next to her quietly, and then released a Noble Phantasm.

As a result, Shuten Douji's poison is completely pure, and at this moment, the wine that Shuten Douji drinks is not poisonous.

"I must say that in terms of luck, Shuten Douji is really unlucky." Even Gudako couldn't help but complain.

According to Gudako's judgment, Shuten-douji was desperately trying to get out of Denver City and wanted to attack the last Master.

As a result, at the last decisive moment, not knowing where a Servant who completely restrained Shuten-doji came from.

After all, Nightingale left after chasing Achilles in the middle of the night, who would meet her in this place.

"Well~ Actually, my luck isn't that great~"

Seeing Shuten Douji with a confident mind, Wu Ming subconsciously felt it was not good.

Facing Shuten Douji who was already alone, Wu Ming who knew the danger chose to act immediately.

The holy spear pierced Shuten-douji, but she did nothing to defend or dodge.

"Ah ah ah, I remember you were looking for the Holy Grail, unfortunately the Holy Grail is not in my hands right now."

The holy spear stopped firmly at Shuten-douji's neck.

"This is the second time we've met, Shuten Douji, although I don't know if you still remember me." Even though Wu Ming opened a conversation with Shuten Douji, he still aimed the holy spear at Shuten Douji's neck.

"Of course, but I clearly remember that you cut off my head~" Shuten Douji said comfortably, not at all like being "arrested".

"Whether it is Ibaraki, Tamamo no Mae or even Suzuka Gozen's golden light, as well as continuous poisoning, all of them were achieved by me through the Holy Grail." Shuten Douji said all this without hesitation.

"However, I did not take out the Holy Grail." Shuten Douji smiled.

Then, Shuten Douji, who didn't take out the Holy Grail, where would she put the Holy Grail?

The central hall was infiltrated by his own spiritual power, and there was no trace of the Holy Grail. Suzuka Gozen and Ibaraki Doji have also left the stage. What is Tamamo?

Wu Ming thought, and he thought he had overlooked something.

In an instant, Wu Ming's pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought of something.

There was no doubt that this city was a Noble Phantasm, as well as a Noble Phantasm that had been blessed by the Holy Grail.

There is no such legend in Suzuka Gozen. Although Ibaraki Doji and Shuten Doji said that they built a castle in Daeshan, this town was no match for Oni, and Tamamo didn't have a castle legend either.

Then, there must be a hidden Servant, and this city belongs to that Servant.

Shuten Doji seemed to see what Wu Ming realized and smiled.

"That's right, I handed the Holy Grail to the lord of this city~ After all, I have no intention of returning myself~"

Shuten Douji smiled, but this smile was quite familiar to Wu Ming's eyes, exactly the same smile that Shuten Douji had in Fuyuki City before she left the stage.

"Pfft-"

Wu Ming thrust the spear into Shuten Douji's neck, but Shuten Douji laughed.

She disappeared little by little, and although Shuten Doji was unable to speak due to his throat being stabbed, Wu Ming read Shuten Douji's words through the shape of his mouth.

"I'm waiting for you at Himeji Castle~

Immediately after, Shuten Douji turned into magic power and disappeared.

*Explosion-*

Suddenly, the earth started to shake violently, and Mashu supported Gudako who was about to fall.

Karna and Nightingale looked behind Wu Ming.

Wu Ming turned around and saw the huge Denver City, or Himeji Castle.

In the second half of Himeji Castle, a huge pillar rises from the ground, and countless eyes are embedded in this huge fleshy pillar, rotating and flashing from time to time, especially penetrating.

"That Demon God Pillar?!" Gudako exclaimed in surprise.

After all, Gudako had experienced the four singularities, and had encountered many demonic pillars, so naturally she recognized them.

Nightingale and Karna were also shocked, however, the aura emanating from the huge flesh line in the distance was a little scary.

When everyone was shocked, Wu Ming shook his head helplessly.

"I have been framed by that drunken brat again."

Shuten-douji founded the poison city and sent Ibaraki-doji. Suzuka Gozen had intercepted Wu Ming before Tamamo. Looks like she's about to attack Gudako. Wu Ming was going to return quickly to protect Gudako, but she was actually hit in the east and west of his plan.

In this way, Wu Ming and the others were transferred, and the Servant behind Himeji Castle was given the opportunity to summon the Demon God's Pillar.

However, according to Shuten-douji's statement, "Waiting for you at Himeji Castle", it is very possible that this Demon God Pillar was controlled by Shuten-douji.

It happened to prove why it took so long to summon the Demon God's Pillar, as Shuten Douji's consciousness needed to be stored in this huge flesh pillar.

Sure enough, Wu Ming's idea was confirmed again.

"Even if Shuten-douji leaves, she will leave a lot of trouble for me."

"Because, stay with Mashu and Nightingale to protect Ritsu, I will meet that person." Wu Ming said to Karna.

Karna didn't speak, just nodded, then stood beside Gudako.

Even though Gudako always had Mashu by his side, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to completely protect her when she encountered some powerful Servants.

Just like Shuten Douji just now, it was a bit difficult for Mashu to defend against the spreading poison gas.

Also out of guilt, Mashu doesn't speak now, but stays by Gudako's side honestly.

Right now, Gudako looked a little sullen.

"That's the Demon God's Pillar, how can I let you go alone!" Gudako mercilessly rejected Wu Ming's proposal.

Even though Mashu didn't speak, the worried look in his eyes was still visible to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Don't worry, didn't I tell you, I'm no ordinary Servant." Wu Ming smiled and comforted the two.

"But" Gudako still disagreed, and wanted to deny something.

"Believe me, on the contrary, you and Mashu can make me feel most comfortable." Wu Ming looked at Gudako and Mashu firmly.

It wasn't that the two of them were burdensome, well, instead they coughed a little What was important was that Wu Ming believed that this Demon God Pillar was controlled by Shuten Douji.

Facing a different Pillar of Demon God, Wu Ming was really uncomfortable to let Gudako and Mashu follow.

What's more, with Wu Ming's strength, it wasn't too difficult to take a bit of effort to break the Demon God's Pillar.

It was precisely because of this that Karna agreed to live alone, and Wu Ming went to the battlefield alone.

Even though the two seemed even in the previous battle, in the face of the "cheat" Wu Ming, Karna still knew that he could not beat Wu Ming.

In this case, the strength of the frontal battlefield was sufficient, so he was responsible for protecting Gudako in the rear.

Finally, Gudako and Mashu nodded and chose to believe Wu Ming.

"Hah?" Wu Ming found that one person was missing.

"Where did Nightingale go?"

Gudako and Mashu also find that Nightingale is missing by their side.

At this time, Karna, who was loyal as a weapon, spoke up.

"The nurse is already aiming for the Demon God Pillar as you speak."

"..."

As expected of the very obedient Karna, if you don't ask, he won't say anything...

Wu Ming raised his forehead with a slight headache.
