276 [276] Eve of the Decisive Battle

"I see... Kurokawa Kazuya's original manuscript..." Barthomeloi Lorelei pondered for a moment. "Alright, let's take action then, destroy his original manuscript... but first, we need to find out where he is, right?"

"Should I launch an attack..."

"Yes." Barthomeloi Lorelei nodded. "The task is entrusted to you. Although we have roughly determined his location, the more specific details will be left to your investigation."

"Wait—stop!" Shakespeare, who appeared out of nowhere, exclaimed, "It doesn't matter about other things, but don't mess with the original manuscript! The manuscript is innocent! The pain of having the manuscript destroyed suddenly when it's time to submit, can you understand!?"

"I see, looks like you've experienced it."

"When it happened—" Shakespeare spread his arms. "Although I tried my best to avoid it, I've encountered such things a few times..."

"Well, I understand. It's settled, then." Barthomeloi Lorelei nodded with a smile. "Take him down, Archer."

"Understood, leave it to me."

Having said that, Archer simply disappeared into spiritual form...

...

"OK, this is also done..."

Looking at the completed original manuscript in front of him, Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction. He vividly depicted the White Dragon of Britain Vortigern he encountered before. Whether it was for making manga or animation, it would serve as a good reference.

Hmm...

Right.

He could try to make "Garden of Avalon"... By then, there would be more subjects for his transformation.

As for whether he could do it well, he wasn't worried. After all, everyone in the world of JOJO is an industry elite.

Everything's stable!

Moreover, with the support of his original manuscript, there was no reason for it to fail.

At the next moment, he slowly put away the original manuscript and placed it in a safer place. "Alucard..."

"Ah, I sense it." Alucard walked in from the wall and smiled. "That's Archer, right?"

"Yeah." Kazuya nodded. "Although... it just turned dark, it's still good. We can save ourselves from searching. Let's go, Alucard, take care of them!"

"Wait—"

Smack—

Kazuya caught something Alucard threw, a stone.

"What's this...?"

"This is... yours, right? I'm returning it to you." Alucard said, standing by the window. "Well then, I'm going—"

"Although I don't know how you found me... Well, after all, it's the Mage's Association; they have their ways."

As for whether killing all members of the clone squad by his Servant would face retaliation...

It shouldn't happen.

With Barthomeloi Lorelei's personality, if she lost, she lost. She wouldn't do things like blaming others and finding trouble afterward. If she didn't do it, the people below wouldn't dare to make trouble on their own.

However, it would be inconvenient to go to the Mage's Association in the future.

It was quite awkward...

"Hello."

Just at this moment, a voice came from behind Kazuya.

Boom—

Without hesitation, Kazuya, with ripples, threw a punch.

"Do you have to start a fight as soon as we meet?"

The person in front of him raised a hand and easily blocked Kazuya's fist.

"Are you... Enkidu?"

"Ah, yes." Enkidu nodded. "I am Lancer of the Red faction, Enkidu. Hello, Master of the Black faction."

Enkidu smiled gently.

"Why are you here?" Kazuya took two steps back slightly. Alucard should be delayed by Arash now. That means... if it doesn't work, he can only consume another Command Spell himself.

"Don't be afraid, I won't attack you." Enkidu smiled gently. "My Master's order is only to destroy this place."

"What—?"

"Well... although this order is a bit strange, but now I am a Servant after all, and I must obey." Enkidu smiled a little embarrassedly. "So... let me say hello to you first, so—let's start now."

"Start?" Kazuya was slightly stunned. "Even if you destroy this place, what can... original manuscript!?"

"Ah, right... according to my Master's instructions, all drawing paper and the like must be completely destroyed—"

"Stop it!"

"Sorry, but it's too late—"

Boom——!

...

"Hmm?" Alucard stopped his actions for a moment and looked at the room where Kazuya was. "Master? Is everything okay?"

"..."

"Master?"

"No... nothing, nothing at all!" Kazuya struggled to catch his breath. Fortunately, the original manuscripts here were just a part. Most of them weren't here, and he remembered the details of those even better. But—

Even if they were restored.

Certainly... it wouldn't be as detailed as watching them draw while fighting.

"I'm really... annoyed..."

In the ruins, Kazuya slowly stood up, with an unpleasant expression. "Alucard! I command you—"

Swish—

In an instant, in the middle of the battle between Archer and Enkidu, Alucard stopped and laughed. "That's right! That's how it should be! Come—give me orders!"

"First, go to Zamalek Island and obtain the Holy Grail there! Kill all the obstacles! Whether it's a Servant of the Red faction or a Servant of the Black faction! Whether it's the Holy Church or the Mage's Association! Search and Destroy! Slaughter all without mercy! End this Holy Grail War————Restrained Full Release, ready to use the River of Death at any time! Ready to use your Noble Phantasm——!!!"

"Haha... hahaha—————— Mission confirmed, as you wish, My Master!"

Huff, huff————

In an instant, Alucard turned into a shadow, turned into a bat.

Disappeared from Arash's arrows!
