Chapter 29: The Assassin's Showdown

It was, a cold, swift blade.

The assassin, who lost half of the spirit base and lost the mana supplied by the master, decisively gave up defense and used all his mana on the attack side, which is the so-called specialized attack type.

Other than that, there is no other way to fight.

Replenish the rich mana with tendon and agility, and even then you can only reach the C+ rank. It's not impossible for humans to deal with. In fact, in the Fifth Holy Grail War, the Imperial Master Soichiro Katsugi once used his physical skills to fight against Saber Artoria, who had poor stats, and achieved excellent results.

Assassin does not belong to the powerful heroic spirit, in the head-on conflict, most of the time does not belong to the first choice, now he, exposed whereabouts, the biggest hole card breath can not be hidden in front of Carl, can only choose to face the frontal resistance.

Throwing the shuriken out and protecting it in front of him, the ninja's galloping pace followed closely behind him, and the pitch-black figure dragged the silver ninja knife in his hand, and its target was Karl's neck!

The Assassin's strongest move is the attack mode called [Shadow Kill], which is his Noble Phantasm, which is a blow that can directly deal damage to the enemy's shadow in defiance of all existing conditions. If you can find the shadow of the other party, even that fire demon god Surut can kill it in one hit.

However, this is a false proposition, as if the whole world had died and I would have been able to take the Holy Grail and be the victor. This condition was impossible to achieve from the start. Surut was wrapped in flames, and it itself was a heroic spirit that emitted intense light and heat, and the scorching light made his shadow faint.

If you can't find a shadow, you can't kill it.

This is very similar to the situation today. The two faced each other, sideways to the burning building, and their figures were swaying and dragging by the burning building, projecting far onto the opposite street, and the Assassin wanted to use his treasure, so he had to cut close and come to Karl.

Karl raised his arms to protect his head, this is the standard stance of Muay Thai, in order to specialize the attack, and the strengthened trained muscles are soft and explosive, Muay Thai itself is a ruthless boxing that attaches importance to attack, his body bends down like a leopard, and the explosive calf spring-like bending and accumulation.

Noticing this, Hattori Hanzo immediately strengthened the magic of his legs, his figure turned, jumped like lightning, his feet were a little on the shuriken, and the whole person flew lightly!

Like a flying swallow rising into the sky, the pitch-black figure bypassed Karl's head, and what was even more terrifying was that he obviously stepped on the dart, and the shuriken actually did not fall! This is something that people with extremely high agility skills can't do!

In mid-air, Hattori Hanzo threw out a shuriken again, the goal was to force Karl back.

As long as he dodges his ninja dart, he will fall into Hattori Hanzo's trap, which is a very common projection technique, and the first blow is not used to attack, but on the contrary, the first blow is used to be evaded by the enemy.

The enemy dodges the first blow, and there is bound to be a movement of the body, and at this moment, it will fall into the range of the second and third blows. This is often referred to as a time difference attack.

Hattori Hanzo has it ready in his hands, as long as he dodges the darts according to his expectations, what awaits him is his own blade.

The fire was fierce, and the figure became extremely prosperous under the strong light of the fire. Long means a huge area.

Just ...... yourself

Hattori Hanzo sneered inwardly, preparing for the final thunderous blow.

All it takes is a knife to cut off his shadow. According to your own expectations, avoid it!

However......

Still, his plan froze.

Because, Karl didn't dodge.

He turned around, ignoring the Assassin's shuriken at all, the sharp four-cornered darts slicing through his flesh and thrust into his body.

He had an arrogant smile on his face that did not match the assassin's character, and that smile seemed to say: I didn't expect it, did it?!

It was mocking, crazy, reminiscent of a madman's smile. Ignoring the darts stuck in his body, he swung his fist and struck at the assassin in mid-air.

(Actually underestimate me?!)

Assassin's heart is on fire, no matter how weak he is, he is also a heroic spirit! In addition, he was originally fighting against the water, and he had a generous consciousness in his heart, but he was also ruthless, and he forcibly lifted his magic power from other values, and strengthened all his magic power to give him strength, and cut it out directly with a knife, just to fight with him for arm strength!

Rumble.

It was a loud roar like a bomb bursting.

The fists and knives clashed, and an explosive strong air flow burst out, and the excessively ferocious heat forcibly crushed the surrounding houses, shattered, crushed cracks, and further blown them away. Countless people screamed and panicked, all of them were lost in the rapid explosion.

That's a clash of magic.

That is, a power that is not something that humans can do.

The scorching magic extended from Karl's arm, and the sturdy gauntlet rang out a crackling roar as if it couldn't support such a collision, faintly sputtering a blue arc of electricity. From his arm, the surging magic power continued, as if the Heroic Spirit's treasure was liberated by its true name, before in the forest, the glorious divine pillar of light soared into the sky, and now in the city, the blue flames soared into the sky.

The burst of magic power of these two people, the blue magic fountain directly engulfed the assassin Hattori Hanzo completely.

"How...... Possibly!"

These were his last words.

"The Master, ahh!!h

At the last moment of his life, somehow, what appeared in front of Hattori Hanzo was his master.

The girl who was in grace and blooming like a violet, although she was already stenched with corruption because she was in too much bloom, could not hide her beauty.

Although, she is a person with a completely abnormal mental structure......

But......

Ninjas can't choose their own lord.

Props, as long as you are loyal as a prop.

Hattori Hanzo is just an ethereal incarnation, and even if he dies, he will not return to Valhalla.

He is different from the real Hattori Hanzo. He was just born as a collection of heroic spirits of ninjas simply because he was summoned by [Aya Makiri] and was born as a collection of heroic spirits of ninjas, he is not a heroic spirit, but a collection of concepts.

It's a shame that I can't accompany you to the end!

I want to ......

As a ninja......

Accept the lord's orders and die!

This is the last wish of the Assassin.

For a Heroic Spirit who does not have an archetype of his own, his only wish is to be needed as a Being. It's not a very big wish, it's just that I want to have a name of my own, even if it's just a code name, call myself [Ninja] or [Assassin]. It's just that I want to have an environment where I can drive myself with all my strength and create value. Even if it was just ordered to massacre civilians. As a weapon, you don't need to think, just complete the order......

Is that really what he thinks? He is no longer able to distinguish, and now he can only quietly wait for the fate of death to come.

He wants to be a ninja, a prop, to be ordered by his master.

It's a pity that today's volley is his arbitrariness, and after Aya Maki cancels the contract, he doesn't care about his life or death.

If possible...... If you accept the order and die for the sake of the lord...... How nice would it be?

I obviously prepared so many hole cards, but as a result, I delayed the fighter again and again...... At last...... This is how it ended......

At this, he suddenly began to envy the man Leonidas.

He was expected by the Lord, and he gave his life to protect the Lord, and he was noble.

Fenrir is berserk, and in order to vent his anger and show his presence, he tears the sky with his claws......

So what did you die for?

I really want to know...... What do those heroes see before they die?

Hattori Hanzo's whole person was swallowed by the magic of the angry waves and disappeared.

He didn't belong to Valhalla, and he didn't even have the golden particles that ordinary Heroic Spirits had when they left the field. And just like that, it disappeared in a blow from Karl.

"In this way, the preparations are over. ”

Karl only then began to speak.

Even if you have an absolute advantage, you will never start a tirade before victory, and complacency is the easiest way to lose your cool, and when the time comes, the enemy will look for opportunities to find flaws.

It's not that you can't show the pleasure of the villain's victory, but that you must actually kill the enemy first.

In this regard, Carl did a very good job.

He casually slapped the shuriken off his body, and the metal crackled and fell to the ground, turning into the remains of magic and disappearing.

Because of the blow just now, almost all the houses within a radius of thirty meters with Carl as the center were razed to the ground, and he silently looked at his right hand, thanks to Da Vinci's hand armor, his right hand could be preserved. He knew very well that his right hand was no longer usable. The last time I fought against Vilvica, the old injury on my arm had not healed, so I used the same technique again...... Now, Karl's right hand is completely unusable.

But what does it matter?

Karl smiled.

If it can't be used, wouldn't it be nice to change it?

It doesn't matter if it's the right hand of a puppet, or the right hand of someone who is similar to your physique.

It's not a big deal.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that by now, even if Carl is only given a left hand, he can definitely accomplish his goal.

In this Holy Grail War, there are three assassins.

Elena died, the assassin was gone, and now, the only assassin left could arrange his own assassination plan with impunity.
