Chapter Eighty-Three: Poison and the Holy Sword

Tactically, Assassin chose an excellent timing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Saber had just knocked down the lion beast and was still focused on Rider's [Temple], she relied on the [Breath Block] to eliminate her breath without making a sound to successfully approach Illya's back - no matter how strong Saber was, no matter how weak the Assassin was compared to the other Heroic Spirits in frontal combat. For Assassins, Masters are beings who can be killed with just one hit.

When used correctly, Aassassin will be the most feared Heroic Spirit, not the strongest, but the most terrifying.

What's more, as a famous poisoner who had the nickname of [Quiet Hassan] before his death. The aura blocking she possessed was not the same as that of other mountain elders.

All of the Aassassin's breath blocking skills are honed skills to completely hide their breathing, figure, and movements, but no matter how good they are at concealment, they have to be exposed at the moment of attack, resulting in a significant reduction in the breath blocking skill. As a result, as long as the Heroic Spirit follows the Master's actions, it will be very difficult for the Assassin to find an opportunity to kill the Master.

Therefore, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, the "Hassan of the Hundred Faces" was completely blocked by the Rider when he attacked the Rider's Master. It is rumored that a certain Hassan Sabah, who has assimilated with the world, has an EX-level aura block, and even when attacking, it will only be reduced to A+, probably only this Hassan Sabah can assassinate even with the Heroic Spirit by the Master's side.

However, there are exceptions.

[Quiet Hassan] is this peculiar presence, although she has honed similar skills and assassination techniques, but more often than not, she has learned the skills of seduction, various acting skills, or seductive dancing. Because in the past, when she buried many hostile foreign monarchs and generals, she used her body and beauty to remove the other's guard, and then killed them with poison.

I don't know if it's because of the difference between her and other Hassan Sabah, the aura blocking she retains has an amazing effect. Even when the attack state is turned on, the level of Breath Interruption will only drop to A.

If it weren't for that, even in the face of this lion, Saber would probably have sensed it before the Assassin made a move.

The dagger that reflected a dim glow in the moonlight stabbed Illya in the back of her neck, just as the Assassin had just pierced Illya's skin—

A gust of wind cut off her movements.

Saber compresses the magic of the Wind King's enchantment to the size of the tip of his sword from a great distance, and uses his magic power to shoot it. If hit, even Berserker's steel-transcendent flesh would be [killed] by the "Wind Burst", not to mention the Assassin's fragile flesh.

Unfortunately, Saber defeated the Lionmon much faster than Aassassin expected, and even if he could cut off the perception of breath, he could confirm it directly with the naked eye. Just like the F-22 stealth fighter, although it can avoid radar detection, it will be seen through by the naked eye.

――You can't leave here.

-- My lord's wish has not been fulfilled.

Judgment of this, the Assassin did not hesitate to choose to retreat. This retreat was not due to the Assassin's own fear of death, but simply from the standpoint of fighting for Flat's victory. Compared to the loss of a Heroic Spirit compared to the killing of a Master, the loss of Heroic Spirit is undoubtedly greater for the Master.

After all, the chances of the Master finding another Immortal to conclude a contract after losing the Immortal are slim.

The Assassin kicked to the ground, and his slender body leaped into the air, landing on a tree branch a few meters away. The only boast of agility for all stats has worked.

“…… Illya, are you alright? ”

After shooting out the magic of the Wind King's enchantment, Saber leaps to his feet, standing between the Assassin and Illya, hiding Illya behind him, and immediately catching the Assassin with his back to the moon.

Completely different from the elegant appearance of wearing a white dress before, the Assassin now wears a thin fabric that hugs his body, and has a creepy fake skull mask on his face. The bright limbs show the brown skin of the back, waist, flanks and wrists, and the exposed skin is covered with beads of sweat, reflecting the slight light flashing.

Seeing the Assassin in front of her, Illya just touched the wound on her back blankly, although she understood that she almost died just now, but seeing the unique and beautiful figure of the Assassin standing on the tree, beyond reality, couldn't help but fascinate Illya.

"Illya......!?"

Saber was about to remind Illya to maintain a minimum sense of crisis on the battlefield. At this point, a light breeze stirred the Assassin's light purple and blew it in her direction, allowing Saber to perceive why Illya was attracted to the Assassin.

It's poison, poison blowing from the Assassin.

It is through direct contact, such as the mucous membranes of the lips, that the Assassin's toxin can become a means of killing - but even the volatilization of [Poisonous Sweat] can also inhale the poison gas through the air, slowly causing paralysis of thinking and limbs, and finally the heart stops and ushers in death.

There is even a terrifying legend that "when fighting against an army of 10,000 people, only the sweat is volatilized and mixed into the wind and the enemy army is completely annihilated".

However, under normal circumstances, this old man in the mountain, known as "Jing", would not use such a large-scale method of impermanence and killing. She would rather infiltrate enemy lines and poison her target with precision than kill innocent civilians as a result.

However, Saber is indeed arguably her biggest nemesis. The flow of the wind is in Saber's hands.

“!?”

With just one swing, a powerful hurricane violently blew away the invisible poisonous gas around it, and the wind was emitted by Saber's sword. The invisible sword in his hand also showed its blade - to be precise, because the air that had been compressed within the barrier to distort the light was released in an instant.

"Is this—?"

A cold sweat broke out on the Assassin's back, not only because his ruthless attack was cracked at once-

“Assassin…… You're too dangerous, I'm not going to let you leave like this. ”

Saber poured all the strength of his body into his wrists, clenching the hilt of his sword, and raised the golden sword. Assassin is a very tricky combo, so it's best to get rid of them here, just in case.

Even if you reveal your identity because of using the treasure.

"Pact - Sword of Victory!! (Excalibur)”

With a powerful voice unleashed violently, the magic power was accelerated by the unbound dragon factor, turning into a flash of light, spewing out a huge stream of light. No less than Rider's sun-like light, shooting straight towards the Assassin.

The Assassin's eyes are so pierced by the bright light that he can't open them. However, she also understands that even if she can open her eyes, she will not be able to escape the attack of this light, and can only wait silently for herself to be devoured - she is too naïve to want to assassinate Saber's Master.

In the midst of this desperate situation, Assassin's mind echoed with Flat's voice.

"Spell Spell Spell...... Ah, is this what this thing does? Anyway, move the Assassin to my side right away! ”

The slightly flustered words shook her body from the depths of the Assassin's soul and became words of salvation.

Under the power of the spell, the extreme speed that almost collapsed all the laws of cause and effect, the Assassin completed the teleportation between two different points in space.

PS: Because the old sword's contract victory sword is proportional to the number of knights of the round table, it is subject to Camlot's 13 constraints, and the power of total liberation explodes against the sky, which is simply impossible to mix in the Holy Grail War! However, this time it only liberated a few daos, so it was not very powerful.

Although Artoria is her own daughter, she also appears in various colors...... But after all, the old sword is still stronger, and it is darker than Artoria's, after all, you can't fight Rider without this......
