Although he knew from Lancelot's reminder that Hassan was getting closer and closer to him. But what Firena didn't expect was that one second less than fifty meters behind her, it was just a ruin piled up with rubble, and the next second, a figure wrapped in the black mist appeared on the ruins without warning.

Though his face was obscured by the pale mask of the skelet, the moment he appeared, Firena felt like a prey, targeted by a seasoned hunter.

"Quack...... Go to hell...... Castaway, Holy Grail...... It should be for me to have. ”

After saying something inexplicable to everyone, a dagger appeared on Hassan's club-shaped right hand in an instant. Even though Hassan's body was wrapped in black mist, the dagger still reflected a terrifying chill under the illumination of the flames around it. Then he leaned forward slightly, and his body struck Firena like a sharp arrow.

Among the broken ruins, Hassan, the Curse Wrist, seems to be like a ghost, passing through all kinds of obstacles without hindrance, whether it is the wreckage of a car turned into scrap metal or the streetlights crisscrossing the road. Not only did it not hinder Hassan's progress, but it made his body grow even faster. In the blink of an eye, it rushed under Firena's nose in a straight line.

“……！！！”

The moment Hassan appeared, Lancelot, the top knight, discovered his existence. Lancelot, who is a servant of Firena, subconsciously wants to rush to her side and protect her safety.

However, at the thought of what Firena had repeatedly warned him before, Lancelot could only take a deep breath and keep his eyes fixed on Hassan's actions, watching the development of events. But from Lancelot's hand gripping the indestructible lake, it was clear that he would be able to rush to Firena's side as soon as she was in danger.

"Die...... Let's do it! Castaways! ”

The figure quickly approached Firena's side, and the entire right arm of the curse wrist Hassan emitted a dim crimson light, and with a wave of his right hand, the dagger with a chilling light slashed at Firena's neck.

An oncoming gust of wind blew up Firena's slightly curly blonde hair. Revealing her slightly blackened eyes, her eyelids blinking mischievously, Firena's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the dagger that was getting closer and closer to her neck.

(Come, Matthew!) If you don't come back, your cute master will be done again! ）

Although her appearance was very calm, Firena's heart had already been frightened by the thunderous attack of the cursed wrist Hassan. After all, she is facing a heroic spirit, even if the opposite side is only a servant who occupies the rank of assassin, but it is not as easy to deal with a master like her as chopping melons and vegetables.

"Senior! Dangerous! ”

Just as the dagger was about to slice through Firena's throat, Matthew, who was not far from her, finally came to his senses. She was attached to the Heroic Spirit and became a sub-servant, and while she gained a strong physique, she also gained extremely good reflexes.

When his master's life was in danger, Matthew, who raised his shield, appeared in front of Firena like a blast of wind, blocking the fatal blow from the curse wrist for her.

"When!!"

With a loud bang, the shield and dagger collided, bursting into a series of fires, and the dazzling sparks illuminated the mask of the cursed Hassan skeleton more and more pale, causing Firena to shudder as she hid behind the shield.

"Hmm......"

A muffled snort came from the mouth of Mathew who was holding the shield, and his originally ruddy face instantly turned pale, and he staggered back a few steps before he barely stabilized his body and looked at the curse wrist Hassan warily.

"Quack...... Weakling...... Don't want to take the Holy Grail from me. ”

After failing to strike a blow, Hassan, the curse wrist who was an assassin, not only did not choose to retreat, but instead stepped on the ground and rushed straight towards Matthew, who was close at hand. As he rushed, Hassan's right hand grew larger and longer like a demon's arm, and even faintly emitted a strange scarlet.

When they were only half a meter away from Mathew and the others, Hassan's figure suddenly stopped, and his mutated right hand turned into a fist, and then with the help of the impact, he drew a tricky arc in the air, like a huge hammer, and smashed it heavily towards Mathew and them.

"Knock !!"

After a dull sound, Hassan jumped back a few more times, out of range of Matthew's counterattack.

"Uh-huh......!"

There was another muffled snort, and Matthew, who had originally turned pale, turned even paler as paper after resisting the blow. Firena, who was hiding behind her, could clearly see that Matthew's legs had begun to tremble slightly, and if it weren't for the shield support, he would have fallen to his knees.

"Oh~! That little sister of the sub-servant seems to be dying! Then it's our turn to play, are you ready, big man? ”

Although the time of the battle was only a moment, Qianxue, who was standing on the sidelines as a heroic spirit watching the battle, was still keenly aware that Matthew's body was almost at the limit. So he shook the golden long knife in his hand, and he couldn't wait to fight the cursed Hassan in a showdown.

But just as he was about to strike, a sword engraved with elven characters and shining as bright as a lake under the moon struck in front of her, halting her progress. Looking at Lancelot in confusion, Qianxue didn't understand his intention to stop her, so she said a little impatiently:

"Hey, big man. What do you mean? Master, they're being pressed and beaten by that servant right now, and they need our help urgently. ”

"Master, she just told her to only strike when they are most critical. As a caster, you should be able to guess what she meant. ”

"Well...... Is it to train the little girl named Matthew? ”

Looking at Matthew, who was in the middle of the battlefield, swaying and waiting for the next wave of attacks from the curse wrist, Qianxue asked Lancelot after thinking seriously for a while.

Nodding, Lancelot withdrew the indestructible lake light that was blocking in front of Qianxue, acquiescing to Qianxue's statement. However, after Qianxue saw Lancelot's head acquiescing, she couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's impossible, although that little girl got the support of the Heroic Spirit and became a sub-servant, but at her current level, it is still too reluctant to fight with the servant, even if the opponent is just an assassin."

"I agree with the Master, Matthew does need some experience, and this Assassin who has lost her mind is undoubtedly the best opponent."

"......Shh Whatever you want. ”

Retracting the long knife, Chiyuki looked a little disappointed because she couldn't fight. So he put the knife on the ground, propped his head on the hilt, and said to Lancelot:

"Obviously you're worried about that girl with the shield, but you have to pretend to be indifferent, you guy is really duplicitous."

Lancelot, who was caught in her heart by Qianxue's words, once again clenched the light of the indestructible lake and pretended to be calm to refute.

"Nosy!"
