Chapter 65 Assassins Go Out in Force
It was a pitch-black axe sword that spread out like wings, and its height exceeded that of most humans. Perhaps only a small giant with a height of nearly three meters could swing it freely.
That is why when Shuoyue wielded this fierce thing, the impact was unprecedentedly strong.
What Saber released was a variation of the Noble Phantasm "Wind King Barrier", which instantly released the condensed air and swung out a wind blade in a sweeping posture: "Wind King Hammer (Strike Air)".
However, the violent storm was torn apart by the high-speed nine-hit combo of the axe sword, and the lethal wind blade was destroyed into a chaotic airflow without any power. Even Saber did not expect that the young man's arms, which were extremely slender compared to the axe sword, could swing such a hideous giant.
Style: Shoot and kill a hundred heads.
The most trusted Noble Phantasm of the heroic spirit Herakles, used to destroy the immortal nine-headed Hydra.
Using handheld weapons or various martial arts performed with bare hands, in a sense, it is the transformation of the technical treasure of [School: Shooting Hundred Heads], which is similar to [Knights Do Not Die Barehanded], but it can maximize the power of weapons and show various forms from people to armies, and even enough to attack cities according to the situation.
If a sword is used, then nine slashes are displayed in an instant, and if a bow is held, it is nine dragon-shaped tracking lasers.
The projection magic of the moon was inherited from Shirou Emiya. It is a foul magic that can read the original owner's ability when copying, so even the moon can use the secret style of the great hero Hercules, and even have the spare power to leave the battlefield and disappear within Saber's alert range.
After confirming that the breath of the moon disappeared, the ahoge on Saber's head shook slightly, put away the golden sword of victory, and returned to Irisviel.
"Are you okay, Irisviel?"
"I'm fine, thank you, Saber."
But Irisviel's expression was not very happy. She looked at the axe sword that slowly turned into magic and dissipated, and her ruby-like eyes were filled with worry.
"Are you worried about Shuoyue?" Saber said, "But why don't you say it?"
The worry on her face turned into guilt. The innocent Princess of Winter lowered her head and remained silent.
What is Irisviel looking at?
Saber curiously imitated Irisviel's appearance, but could only see a flat concrete floor.
After a long while, a voice as thin as a mosquito sounded.
"I don't have the right to see that child." The silver-haired woman, who was obviously a man-made person but had more delicate emotions than anyone else, whispered, "He obviously helped us so much...but we have to be his enemy."
This is the contradiction of Irisviel, and the reason why she remained silent from beginning to end.
Since his sudden appearance a year ago, Sakutsuki has never shown hostility towards Irisviel. Even now, as both participants in the Holy Grail War, the young man has been silently protecting her and Saber... At least that was the case tonight. If Sakutsuki had not intervened, they would have faced Lancer's spear and Berserker's frenzy.
But there was only one Holy Grail, and Irisviel knew that there was a reason for them to fight, and she was prepared for it. But she didn't expect Kiritsugu to act so decisively, actually blowing up the entire hotel during the battle between Sakutsuki and Master Lancer, and launching an attack after the former appeared. And judging from Sakutsuki's performance, he was probably only one step away from success.
On the one hand, there was Sakutsuki, who had never hurt her, and on the other hand, there was the long-cherished wish of the Einzbern family and his husband. Caught between the two, Irisviel, who was kind-hearted, would naturally feel pain.
Saber silently looked at the woman she swore to protect, and sighed silently in her heart.
Wasn't she the same back then? Although she didn't mind the relationship between Princess Guinevere and Lord Lancelot, the members of the Knights did not forgive their actions... In the end, she had to push Guinevere to the stake as a king, which led to all the tragedies that followed.
Before Sakutsuki and Emiya Kiritsugu had decided the winner, even she couldn't let Irisviel escape from this pain.
The blonde knight raised her head, and her blue pupils reflected the cold moonlight.
All she could do was to follow her oath and silently protect this pure winter princess.
In silence, she suddenly thought.
Where did the young man with golden eyes go after he ended the battle with her?
————
"Command with the Command Seal!" Kotomine Kirei raised his right hand and recited the spell as quickly as an automatic machine.
"Assassin, appear beside me quickly!"
One of the Command Seals engraved on Kotomine Kirei's right hand burst out with strong light at this time, activating extraordinary magic power.
For the group of Assassins moving around Fuyuki City, the moment Kotomine Kirei gave the order, their sense of space was completely taken away, and they were thrown into an unknown "movement".
This is something that can only be done by the Command Spell that specifically "controls the Servant". In the "moment" when the speed reaches a few hundredths of the speed of light, which is so fast that it almost subverts the law of causality, the Command Spell has allowed Assassin to break through the distance in space and complete the movement between two points.
Between Kotomine Kirei and the attacker, a large group of figures in black robes emerged - the Command Spell pointed at "Assassin", and even if it was split into hundreds of individuals by the delusion illusion (Zabaniya), it was essentially the same Servant.
Although it happened suddenly, the combat qualities of the assassins made the Assassins instantly take a combat posture and look at the attackers in front of them vigilantly.
The golden pupils were brilliant in the dark night, as if burning with blazing flames.
Master, Shuoyue.
Although he is a Master, he is a freak who can fight with the Servant Lancer and the Hero King Archer!
White robes fluttered, red clothes danced, black and white soft armor reflected the same color of Yin and Yang double swords, and the sharp arc of light flashed in the eyes of the Assassins.
Facing the Servant, the young man did not dodge or retreat, as if he could not wait to launch a fierce attack!
It seemed that Assassin did not realize that the young man would be so fierce. In shock, several heads soared into the sky and turned into ghosts under the blade.
"Trace on!"
The initial double blades were thrown out, swirling in the black robe to kill. Shuoyue crossed his hands and clenched them fiercely, and a new blade appeared in his hand, leading him to kill all around among the Assassins.
"Send eight people to cover my evacuation, and the rest will delay Shuoyue's steps. Remember not to confront him head-on."
Kotomine Kirei gave instructions the moment he summoned Assassin. Obviously, the Servant was by his side, and his own combat power was not bad, but he had no intention of fighting Shuoyue at all, and he only wanted to run away.
"Want to leave? Did I agree?"
Easily dodging several flying knives and a dagger, and smashing Hassan's head with the back of the knife, Sakutsuki watched Kotomine Kirei begin to retreat, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Full projection continuous layer write!"
Using a battle method similar to that of the King of Heroes, countless weapons whizzed towards Kotomine Kirei, and the act of not hesitating to expose the trump card further showed the determination to kill Kotomine Kirei.
At the same time, Sakutsuki spoke, and the low chanting shook the surrounding magic.
【I am the bone of my sword.】(This body is made by the sword!)
Please collect it, friends!
