For Shallow Creek, this spring is destined to be an unquiet spring.
All kinds of visions appeared wantonly, and people's hearts were panicked.
In this comparison, is Fuyuki's Holy Grail War more brutal, or more intimate?
After all, Fuyuki's Holy Grail War also has an overseer of the Templar Church, who will do his best to hide the traces of the magicians' confrontation. Therefore, for most of the residents of Fuyuki, there are many terrifying and strange phenomena, and they have only seen a few things.
As the so-called out of sight, out of mind, in this way, it should be intimate, right?
However, this also brought about the fact that when the Fuyuki fire, the people who were caught in the flames did not expect it at all and did not prepare adequately......
There are very few survivors of the Fuyuki fire. Shirou, it's one. However, he was partially saved by Kiritsugu.
From this point of view, it seems cruel again.
The Chinese writer Lu Xun once mentioned a proposition: "If a group of people are locked up in a house that is about to suffocate and fall asleep, should they not wake them up?" "If you don't wake up, they'll die peacefully, and if you wake up, there's nothing they can do...... This cruel choice is really difficult to choose.
Because there are no traces of too many Western magicians, Shallow Creek still maintains a neutral attitude, and because he has no overseer, any strange phenomenon will be exposed to people's vision in his original posture.
However, it doesn't matter to someone.
Carl Winster.
Although his name is not this, there is no better name now, let's call him Carl.
This standard Oriental with dark eyes and dark hair was spilling gasoline on the edge of an apartment building. He used some kind of special magic, and the gasoline in his hand flew high as if he were conscious, wetting the entire apartment building. He used three or four cylinders of gasoline in a row to barely fill the building.
Then he snapped his fingers, and between his fingers, a hot flame flickered, and he threw it on the gasoline at random, only to hear a whirl, and the red flames quickly burned throughout the building.
Immediately there was a voice of astonishment from inside the building.
It was the sound of the inhabitants inside spotting the flames and panicking and trying him to escape.
For Carl, it doesn't matter.
He turned, took three steps back, and grabbed a rifle in his hand, and under the muzzle, hung a grenade launcher.
In China, a country with gun control, this kind of heavy firearm is very difficult to get hold of, and it is difficult to get hold of it. But for magicians, it's too simple. As long as he charms with magic, the entire government agency belongs to his arsenal.
And...... And Elena's arsenal. That woman does have the demeanor of Emiya Kiritsugu, as the saying goes, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and she doesn't just have 3 arsenals. With Einzbergeren's financial resources, compared to the temptation of the Holy Grail, money is not a matter at all. There are more than a dozen properties, each of which has a large amount of weapons and equipment. Moreover, the uniform military equipment is not a backward product that has been retired.
Although they knew to change their pseudonyms to buy real estate, and they also knew that they deliberately did not let people see the connection between each building, but if you look at the sales records of the entire real estate industry, they can quickly confirm that there are a number of houses that have been purchased suddenly recently, and as long as you choose some possibilities among them, Carl can easily find Elena's secret base.
That's the difference between the two as assassins. This experience can only be understood by a skilled veteran who has been on a variety of assassination missions for many years. It's different from Elena's recruits who have never carried out missions and have only been passed on by their families.
Grenades were projected from the underneath launcher, smashing the fourth-floor windows with precision, followed by a deafening roar that shattered the glass.
There, it was the insect room of Ayaya Makiri.
It is not difficult to speculate here, as long as you take into account the dark character of Aya Makiri, in order to raise a large number of insects, it is necessary to choose a dark, warm and humid space, so just look for a place where the curtains are drawn all year round. Locking on to a general target, it only takes a simple magic detection to easily guess the location of the insect chamber of Aya.
For the Insect Magician, the Worm Room is even more important than the Magic Workshop, using the flames to block the insects' means of escape, and then throwing grenades into it to blow it up. Innocents? Karl wouldn't think about that kind of thing.
In order to kill the enemy in a way that is feasible, he will not hesitate to involve others in his own disputes. Cold-blooded assassin.
As long as this place is ruined, Aya's magic will be ruined by more than half.
Just as Carl prepares to retire, the sharp, assassin's instinct tells him that he is in danger!
Turning sideways with one hand, Karl responded quickly, allowing himself to dodge to the side at high speed. I only heard two aggressive sounds, and where I just landed, there were already two more shurikens, and there were still scorching flames wrapped around them.
In this Holy Grail War, there is only one heroic spirit with a shuriken.
Assassin Hattori Hanzo.
His current appearance is simply miserable, although he is still in good black clothes, but the traces of magic on his body are much lighter. At a glance, you can see the weak aura exuding from his body.
Abandoned?
Carl quickly understood.
This is not a difficult speculation. Seeing the terrifying combat power of Surut, it is obvious that the strength of the assassin is not enough. Although the assassin himself is very good, but he is only himself, if the enemy is looking for Ayaya Makiri, where do they have to kill her? At most, this assassin can die with her.
Now that Lancer and Berserker have withdrawn, Caster, Assassin, and Archer are not strong enough, and there is only one powerful Heroic Spirit left, and that is Rider.
If Aya Maki really abandoned the Assassin, then her current Heroic Spirit should be a Rider.
That's good news.
Karl had long heard that Lu Bu was a person who changed hands repeatedly, and it was not too difficult to understand that he betrayed the other lineup. It would be better if you took the Master's head with you when you betrayed. In that case, even if Kiriya and the Tosaka forces are completely carried out.
Moreover, a Master can only make a contract with one Heroic Spirit, which means that in order to make a contract with a Rider, she must abandon the Assassin.
An Assassin who has lost his mana will return to Valhalla in five hours at most due to the depletion of his mana.
I didn't expect to be assigned to him here?
Carl opened the metal device on his gloves, and the surging magic burst out, and Leonardo da Vinci's research was the one that best suited his fighting style.
Sure enough, I was not mistaken. You are the most dangerous person in this Holy Grail War. โ
Assassin Hattori Hanzo said.
Why didn't you find out about it earlier?
But a magician who can even detect the interruption of his own breath, generally speaking, there will be such a terrible thing?
Moreover, he is also a magician of the carnal school, a magician who is good at assassination techniques......
It should have smelled it a long time ago, the same dark smell on his body as his own!
In general, words are useless things for assassins. However, I don't know what happened today, Assassin Hattori Hanzo did not immediately take an attacking posture, but continued to speak in a long and distant tone, with nostalgia and unwillingness.
"I've set traps in more than a dozen places where you might be haunted, including in the ruins of Caster's workshop, but I firmly believe that this is the place where you are most likely to be."
โโฆโฆโ
Carl didn't say a word, carefully adjusting his body and preparing for battle, the assassin knew in his heart that he was the kind of real assassin who would neither talk nonsense to himself nor listen to what he had to say.
His words, from beginning to end, were listened to only by himself.
It doesn't matter, though.
"Skilled assassin, it's too important for a Holy Grail War, I don't know why you were able to peek through my breath in the first place, but letting you go that time was really my biggest mistake. To wash away the stigma, I can only ask you to die here. โ
With a ninja knife in his left hand and a shuriken in his right hand, the assassin assumed a fighting stance.
He had less than five hours to spare.
However, he did not choose to escape, nor did he choose to find the next lord.
The ninja's loyalty allowed him to stay here, waiting for the lord's enemies, even if he died, to deal with one of the most difficult guys before he died.
When necessary, he has the means to die with the enemy.
Absolutely, he can't be allowed to live any longer. He was too dangerous for the Holy Grail War.
Even if he was burned half of the spiritual base by Surut...... Even if he was abandoned by the master, he is helpless now with low demon power......
The so-called ninja is such a loyal person who sacrifices his life for the lord he recognizes.
If possible......
The Assassin couldn't help but think so.
(I really hope that I can occasionally go down in history as a hero, and at least, I can leave a different impression in the heart of the master...... ๏ผ
