Chapter 4: The Assassin Strikes
Cross shuriken, this weapon is too famous, as if mentioning cheongsam and Tang costumes is China, mentioning the Statue of Liberty is the United States, as soon as I saw the cross shuriken, a term involuntarily jumped into Tsukahara Mingshi's mind......
Ninja. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As a Japanese and a lover of manga, Tsukahara Mingshi certainly knows best about this mysterious special forces in his own country!
Come without a trace, go without a trace, proficient in a variety of ninjutsu, specialize in espionage and assassination, and be absolutely loyal to the lord. It is one of the most outstanding colors in the history of Japan that will never be forgotten. Especially now, various anime, graphic novels, and river dramas are emerging one after another, and the figure of ninja is greatly active in people's television.
No matter what country it is, [History] is a good subject that will not fade. In fact, the Chinese classic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been remade seven times, and it is said that an eighth remake is being planned.
Tsukahara quickly turned his gaze to the direction of the enemy, a pitch-black figure was crouching between the branches, wearing a common night coat, in which the silver and shiny armor of the chain mail could be faintly seen, and under the fluttering hood, there was a hood cloth that covered his face...... Orthodox ninja attire.
He didn't hide what he meant, he swaggered on the branch, his soft body like a hound squatting on the branch. However, even if he was so blatant, Tsukahara didn't notice his aura......
I'm a very weak magician, but I can't feel any breath? That's too exaggerated......
There is only one possibility......
"That guy...... It's a servant! Quick, Heroic Spirit Summons! Humans can't match the servant!"
Karl frowned, panic creeping up to every corner of his face, this was the first time Carl had shown such a surprise look...... In the clock tower, Carl is calm at all times, as if the sky is falling, and he can deal with it calmly......
However, this time it was too much of Karl's prediction. Before this moment, he had made so many preparations just to prevent the other party from finding the location of the two......
However, it was actually found? What went wrong with that step?
(No...... Before that, there is an even more critical question...... ļ¼
Carl's brain raced.
That's efficiency.
After all, the spell is only a qualification for the master, and if the master dies before the Heroic Spirit is summoned, then what will happen? The Holy Grail War has reduced one participant? No, it can't be. The Holy Grail is not so stupid and easy to deceive.
Moreover, according to the records, the Holy Grail must be filled with the souls of the five Heroic Spirits before it can appear, and the sixth Heroic Spirit will also be integrated into the Holy Grail to truly fill up and fulfill the wishes of the victors.
If the Master dies before summoning the Immortals, it is obvious that the Holy Grail will never be able to gather enough 7 Immortals to fight. So, if that awkward scenario does happen, the Holy Grail will choose one person to cast the spell, and if the new master continues to die, then repeat and so on until there are seven servants.
In other words, it is inefficient to assassinate two people before summoning the Heroic Spirit. This will not only eliminate your enemies in the Holy Grail War, but also risk the assassin's whereabouts being accidentally discovered by other masters.
The correct approach should be: sit and watch the summoning of the two end, then track down the location of the two people, and finally kill the killer. That's the logical thing to do.
If the master didn't think about it so much, then the assassin didn't happen to meet the two of them, did he? Carl didn't believe it. After doing so many precautions, the attack of the assassin must have been premeditated, and his lord must not be a stunned young man who didn't think about anything.
If you say that, you feel that the target magician is too strong, and you want to solve it in advance, let the Holy Grail choose the weak, and weaken your enemies in disguise, but you are not a very good magician......
I can't understand it, and the more I think about it, the more I realize that the Assassin's sneak attack is completely illogical.
Tsukahara Mingshi was even more taken aback, in the original plan, there was no such thing! In a panic, he saw Karl casually throw two things and draw a slow arc in mid-air, and he hurriedly reached out to grab ......
The enemy is not a fool, and since he has set a plan to snipe the master, naturally, he is not ready to keep his target alive.
The dark figure, the hidden whereabouts, needless to say, Carl already understood that this was the servant of the Assassin. The only problem is......
"It's a strong ......"
Carl's tightly knit eyebrows wrung into an agitated furrow.
Generally speaking, in the Holy Grail War, the Assassin is a recognized weak position, and in the regular Holy Grail War, the only person who can be summoned as an Assassin is the etymology of the word, the Assassin Clan of the Old Man of the Mountain.
Because there is no fame, and there are no amazing legends, this position basically has no highlights except for the ability of [Breath Blocking].
It's not an exaggeration, not to mention the Servant, even many excellent masters can fight the Assassin head-on, and even kill them head-on.
However...... The assassin in front of him is not only a ninja dress that has nothing to do with the word old man in the mountains, but also his ability......
That's enough data to match the level of the Three Horsemen.
Each master is endowed with [Master Ability], such as summoning the Heroic Spirit as a servant, which is one of them. Another example is the ability to see through the opponent's heroic spirit. Of course, there is no way to know the real name and the Noble Phantasm.
The Assassin's servant has B-rank strength and A+ agility, which shows that this servant is extremely good at frontal attacks. Especially agility, reaching the level of A, that is, the existence of completely crushing the human level.
Japanese ninjas are known for their stealth and agility, which Karl admits is barely acceptable to have as an Assassin......
But what is the situation with B-grade gluten strength?
What Carl didn't know was that it was rumored that ninja was an agile profession. However, in real history, every ninja will go through extremely rigorous combat training, after all, it is [special forces], although the most common use is to act in the shadows, but there are not a few cases of ninjas and samurai clash head-on.
In addition, the master's magic power will correct the value of the servant, which fully shows that he has a pretty good master.
And......
I'm going to be in trouble.
Facing the holy relics thrown by Carl, the assassin waved his hand casually, only to see seven or eight silver cold lights flying out, and the swaying cold light was like a torrential rain, aiming at Tsukahara Mingshi pouring down!
Where will Karl allow him to do this!
When sniped by an enemy servant, the only chance to win is to summon your own servant...... But it takes time to chant a mantra, so someone has to procrastinate.
Let Tsukahara come to Ming Shi?
Don't make a fuss, how can a layman match the Heroic Spirit! I can only pray that he will summon it quickly, and then use the Heroic Spirit to buy time and summon it himself.
I saw Carl move sideways, and with a wave of the glove in his left hand, the blue magic lines on it were reflected on the silver-white armament like a precise circuit diagram, and with Carl's actions, a translucent wall of magic was intercepted in his palm.
A canopy of hidden weapons all fell on it, and the magic and magic collided, setting off a wave of air like a storm! The trees swayed, the veins of the leaves scattered, and the roaring wind let out a mournful roar.
Just one blow caused such a roaring momentum, and this is the ...... Holy Grail Wars!
However, it's not over yet!
Finding that his hidden weapon was stopped, the dark assassin put his feet on the branch a little, and the figure rushed over slowly and quickly!
Slow, that is, his movements are light and graceful, like an elegant kabuki performing his own dance at a banquet.
Swiftness, on the other hand, is about speed.
Two words that should have been irrelevant, or even opposite, appeared in a person so appropriately for the first time.
With just one breath, he came to Carl from a branch thirty meters away!
It's A+ level agility! It's not a speed that humans can capture!
The retina didn't leave an afterimage at all, and even Carl's reflex nerves that were transformed into monsters by magic still hadn't captured his posture! If it weren't for the fact that the Assassin was about to attack, and his body stagnated slightly, I'm afraid that Carl wouldn't even know what he had done, and he would have been in a different place!
Carl's mind moved, the magic circuit behind him was fully opened, and the hot magic ran in every vein of his body, and the magic poison penetrated like a toxin, and with Carl's mind, it was strengthened again. The Winster family's magic is based on strengthening, and this kind of thing is not only handy, but also handy.
I didn't have time to think too much about countermeasures, so I instinctively transmitted the magic power to my body, flowing from my wrist into the bracer, activating the magic inscribed on it, and in an instant, several enhanced magic tricks agitated Carl's body.
The blood of the muscles is covered with scorching magic, turning into a tenacious structure like iron wire, and the bones seem to be inserted into the scorching iron rod, which becomes harder and harder from the inside out. The same is true for the skin, which feels like a stone and has a wonderful feeling of cuticle.
This is the mystery of Carl's magic dress.
A principle of playing cards with Tsukahara Mingshi...... In other words, Tsukahara Mingshi's poker magic was simply taught to Carl after improving his own magic.
Instantly strengthen your body, then ......
Engage in close combat with enemy magicians.
Before the opponent's magic is activated, use the moment of chanting to launch a strong attack and defeat him.
If the opponent's magic is activated, the magic avoidance spell on the bracer will act as a protection, intercepting the opponent's magic, no need to defend it, as long as the magic breaks through your own defense, rush up first, and knock down the opponent's magician with one punch.
This is a barbaric and unaesthetic dismissal, which is despised by many magicians.
However, it was this disgraceful style of play that saved Carl's life at this moment.
The left hand floated, blocking the direction of the assassin's attack, the right arm stabbed with a punch, and the body strengthened by multiple magic powers, and hit a blow that even the servants could not ignore, the roaring fist tore apart the air, and the roaring wind made the assassin's heart shock, and a little under his feet, the figure fell backwards, and he dodged the blow of Carl's surprise attack!
The first battle of the Holy Grail War has officially begun!
