A strange white object appeared in the atrium illuminated by the moonlight. One after another, pale faces appeared in the courtyard like flowers blooming. That paleness is the color of cold, dry bones. Skull mask and black robe. The deserted atrium was gradually surrounded by this strange group.
Assassin¡¡
"Assassin, how is this possible?"
This is so weird. Weber once confirmed through the familiar's eyes that the assassination servant had been killed long ago.
"Now is not the time for you to be surprised, kid. This is what you did, right? Archer."
The golden heroic spirit shrugged innocently.
"Who knows, I don't have to understand what those bastards are thinking."
Since so many assassins were mobilized, it must not be the order of Kotomine Kirei alone. This must have been the intention of his teacher Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Because Tokiomi treated the King of Heroes as a courtier, Archer recognized him as his master. But Tokiomi's behavior made Archer increasingly dissatisfied with him.
Although this banquet was initiated by Rider, it was Archer who provided the wine. Sending a killer during such a banquet was tantamount to smearing the King of Heroes' face.
"Wellit's a mess."
Seeing the enemy approaching, Weber let out a sigh that was almost a scream. It is incomprehensible, this completely exceeds the rules of the Holy Grail War.
"What's going on?! Why are the assassins coming one after anotherIsn't there only one servant for each class?!"
Seeing the miserable appearance of their prey, the assassins couldn't help but smile evilly.
"You are right, we are servants who regard the whole as an individual, and the individuals are just shadows of the whole."
Neither Waver nor Irisviel could understand it. The assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei turned out to be this kind of special existence.
"The Old Man of the Mountain" - Hassan has been inherited through the ages. Among the people with the terrible name of Sabah, only one has the ability to change body.
Unlike other Hassan, he did not make any modifications to his body. Perhaps it can be said that there is no need for this, because although his body is mediocre, his spirit can make his body change freely.
He can have excellent strategies, know foreign languages, identify poisons, or set traps. In short, he is a versatile assassin who can automatically switch abilities according to mission needs. It is said that sometimes he can exert strange strength and agility that he could never possess before, and use phantom martial arts that have long been forgotten.
He can disguise himself as any man, woman, or child. Standing next to you very naturally. Sometimes he can even change his personality according to the occasion, so that no one can reveal his true identity.
But no one knows the truth. Although Hassan has a single body, he has different souls.
Based on the knowledge at that time, there was no such thing as multiple personality disorder. In modern medicine, this is defined as a phenomenon of mental illness. For assassin Hassan Sabha, it was a mysterious "ability". He is able to use a variety of different knowledge and technologies through the cohabitants living in his body, confuse the enemy through different means, weave a defensive web, and kill the target in a way that no one can predict.
And the assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei this time is the assassin known as "Variety".
He is a servant who has one body but countless souls at the same time. Fundamentally speaking, "they" are originally different souls. Because they have lost their physical restraints, "they" can completely materialize into different forms after they appear in the world.
Of course, their total amount of spiritual power is only "one person", and their ability value after splitting will definitely not be comparable to other heroic spirits. But because of the exclusive skills of assassins, this group is almost invincible in their investigation activities.
"Could it be that we have been monitored by these guys to this day?"
Irisviel murmured in pain, and Saber couldn't help but shudder. Although the other party is not strong enough. But they were able to sneak up on them, and there were so many of them. Even if she was the most powerful among the Servants, this was still a considerable threat.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? or a shadow or a shadow on a target? Watching them step forward without fear means
"They are serious about it."
Saber fell into an unexpected crisis and couldn't help but grit her teeth with hatred.
A group of rabble that relies on numbers to dominate. If you attack from the front, Saber will never lose, but this is only when Saber is the only one facing the enemy.
Now Saber has to protect Irisviel. No matter how weak assassin is, it has considerable power for humans.A big threat. Even Einzbern's android Irisviel, who can use first-class magic, cannot stop Assassin with magic alone. It was impossible for her to protect herself on her own.
Therefore, if you want to protect your companions and fight at the same time, the large number of enemies has become a very urgent problem.
How many assassins can Saber stop with one strike of his sword? No, it's not a question of how many people can be stopped. Even if one person is missed at this time, that person may cause serious trauma to Irisviel.
Therefore, the question now is not "can it be stopped", but "can it be solved with one blow". And the number of assassins surrounding them was despairing.
From the assassin¡¯s point of view, they also have a final resort.
Even if it is a group battle, it is a group composed of a limited number of people. The method of winning with a small number of survivors at the expense of most sacrifices is tantamount to suicide, so this is a trump card that can only be used in the final decisive battle.
The Assassin are Servants summoned for the purpose of the Holy Grail. They should not be able to bear being used as pawns of Tokiomi and the Archer - but they cannot disobey the Command Seal.
For tonight's action, Kotomine Kirei used a command spell, ordering them to "win at all costs." Command Seals are absolute commands for servants, so they can only choose to follow them.
Although they were happy to see Saber, who was known as the strongest, change her face, the fact was that she was not their target. The designated attack targets are the masters of rider and caster. Although Rider possesses a powerful Noble Phantasm, its destructive power is directional. If Assassin attacks from all directions, it will definitely be able to attack the cowardly short Master and the ignorant little girl Master.
The two servants were still drinking wine leisurely.
"ri¡ª¡ªrider, hey, hey"
"Hey kid, don't be so embarrassed. There are guests at the banquet, so you can still drink the wine."
"How do they look like guests!?"
"Let me tell you guys, can you restrain your ghost spirit? My friend is frightened by you."
"Do you still want to invite them to the table? King of Conquerors."
"Of course, the king's speech should be heard by all the people. Since some people come specifically to listen, it doesn't matter whether they are enemies or friends."
"Come, don't be polite. If you want to drink together, come and get the cup yourself. This wine is with your blood."
Whoosh¡ªa sound that penetrated the air answered Rider.
Rider only had the handle of the spoon left in his hand, and the spoon part had fallen to the ground. This was done by one of the assassins, and the wine in the spoon was scattered on the floor of the atrium.
"Don't say I didn't remind you, I said, 'this wine' is 'your blood' - right. Since you let it spill on the ground casually, then I will"
Before he finished speaking, a whirlwind roared up. This seems to be the wind coming from the desert, it is hot and dry, as if it is going to burn everything.
Feeling sand entering his mouth, Weber quickly spat. This is indeed sand. What was brought by the strange wind was really hot sand that could not have appeared in the first place.
"Saber, Archer, and Caster, the last question of the banquet - is the king aloof?" Rider asked.
Archer laughed out loud. There was no need to ask, so he answered with silence.
Saber didn¡¯t hesitate. If her faith were shaken, it would be a denial of the daily life she spent as a king.
"The king is naturally aloof."
Rider laughed loudly. As if in response to the laughter, the whirlwind gained momentum.
"No, doesn't it mean there is no answer? Today I will teach you what the real king is!"
The unknown hot wind erodes the present world, and then subverts it.
In the strange phenomenon that occurred at night, distance and location have lost their meaning. Dry winds carrying hot sand transformed everything they touched.
"How, how could this be like this It's actually an inherent barrier?!"
The sun scorching the earth, the clear sky, until the horizon is blurred by gravel. There is no obstruction anywhere in sight.
Einzbern at night will change in an instant, proving without a doubt that it is just a phantom that corrodes the real world. It can be said that this is the limit of magic that can be called a miracle.
"How is it possiblethat you can actually materialize the scene in your heartyou are obviously not a magician!?"
"Of course not, how can I do it alone. This is the land that our army once crossed. We share weal and woe."The warriors here have this scenery firmly imprinted in their hearts. "
As the world changes, the people who were originally surrounded also change their positions.
The assassins who were originally surrounded were moved to the side alone, and Rider stood in the center. On the other side are other people. In other words, Rider stood alone in front of the Assassins.
Does it mean that Rider will take on the challenge alone now?
Everyone stared at the mirage-like images that appeared around him with their eyes widened. One, two, four, the number of images gradually increased, looking like an army. The color also became gradually more intense.
"This world can reappear because it is imprinted on each of our hearts."
In the astonished eyes of everyone, physical cavalry appeared one after another around Iskandar. Although they have different races and equipment, their strong bodies and brave knights all show the strength of the army.
"These peopleare all servants"
"Look, my unparalleled army! Even if the world is destroyed, their heroic spirits are still summoned. They are my loyal warriors in legend. Eternal friends who travel through time and space and respond to my call. They are my treasures! Yes My way of being a king! Iscan¡¯s most powerful treasure¡ª¡®The King¡¯s Force¡¯!!¡±
An ex-level anti-army weapon, a continuous summoning of servants.
There are military gods, King Maharaja, and founders of dynasties throughout the ages. Gathered before them were unique heroic spirits that had only been heard of in legends.
All of them have great reputations - they are all warriors who have fought with the great Iskandar.
A horse without a rider gallops towards the rider. It was a powerful and huge horse. If it were a human being, its majesty would certainly not be inferior to that of other heroic spirits.
"Long time no see, partner."
Rider smiled like a child and hugged the horse's neck. Obviously, "she" is Cephalus, who was later known as the legendary horse. Following the Conqueror, even the horse became a heroic spirit.
No one could make any other sound except exclamation. Even Archer, who also possesses an EX-level super treasure, never sneered again after seeing such a radiant army.
??The heroes who bet on the dream of becoming a king and ride on the battlefield with the king.
Loyalty that lasts until death, the Conqueror turned it into an exceptional Noble Phantasm.
Saber was shocked, not because of the power of his Noble Phantasm, but because this Noble Phantasm shook her proud belief.
This is almost perfect support¡ª¡ª
The bond between the one called the Noble Phantasm and his minister¡ª¡ª
In her career of chasing the ideal King of Knights, there was something she never got until the end¡ª¡ª
"The king - he must live more truly than anyone else - and he must be admired by everyone!"
Rider, who was sitting on the back of Becephalus, shouted loudly. The heroic spirits responded with the tapping of their shields and shouted together.
"The one who gathers the beliefs of all the brave men and sets them as the goal to start the expedition is the king. Therefore, the king is not aloof. Because his wish is the wish of all his subjects!"
"Exactly! Exactly! Exactly!"
The majestic shouts of the heroic spirits flew across the sky. No matter what kind of enemies or barriers they are, they appear to be no threat in front of the Conquering King and his friends. That high fighting spirit can cross the earth and cut off the ocean.
Looking at this scene, Caster held the wine glass in his hand and smiled softly, and his followers also laughed softly.
