The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics
Chapter 68
"Sure enough, Assassin was not just the few people who were killed in the Tohsaka Residence and the Einzbern Forest..."
Saber frowned and murmured.
After killing those Assassins in the woods last time, she became aware of it. In fact, there were many Assassins participating in this Holy Grail War, but the number was really abnormal.
They all wore masks and black robes, and their physiques varied. Some were giant men, some were thin, some were short like children, and some had the figure of a woman.
"...You did this, right? Archer."
Archer shrugged innocently.
"Who knows, I don't have to read those bastards' minds."
Since so many Assassins were mobilized, it must not have been the order of Kotomine Kirei alone. It must have been the intention of his teacher Tokiomi Tosaka.
Because Tokiomi treated the King of Heroes as a courtier, Archer recognized him as Master, but Tokiomi's behavior made Archer even more dissatisfied with him.
Although this banquet was initiated by Rider, it was Archer who provided the wine. What did Tokiomi intend by sending a killer during such a banquet? This was tantamount to smearing the King of Heroes' face. Did he know?
"Well...it's a mess."
Seeing the enemy gradually approaching, Waver let out a sigh that was almost a scream. He couldn't understand that this completely exceeded the rules of the Holy Grail War.
"What's going on? Why are Assassins coming one after another...Isn't there only one Servant for each job agency?!"
Seeing the prey's miserable state, the Assassins couldn't help but laugh evilly.
"You are right, we are Servants who regard the whole as an individual, and the individuals within it are just shadows of the whole."
Chapter 70 I'm split (first update)
Neither Waver nor Irisviel could understand that the Assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei was actually such a special being.
"The Old Man of the Mountain"——Among the people who have inherited this terrible name, Hassan Sabah, only one has the ability to change his body.
Unlike other Hassan, he did not make any modifications to his body, or it can be said that it is not necessary, because although his body is mediocre, his spirit can make the body freely transform.
He can have excellent strategies, know foreign languages, identify poisons, or set traps.
In short, he is a versatile assassin who can automatically switch abilities according to mission needs.
It is said that sometimes he can exert strange strength and agility that his original body could not possess, and use phantom martial arts that have long been forgotten.
He can disguise himself as a man, woman, or child, and stand next to others very naturally. Sometimes he can even change his personality according to the occasion. Yes, no one can reveal his true identity.
But no one knows the truth. Although Hassan has a single body, he has different souls.
According to the knowledge at that time, there was no such term as multiple personality disorder, but in modern medicine this is defined as an object of mental illness.
For the assassin Hassan Sabah, it is a mysterious "ability". He can use various knowledge and technologies through the cohabitants living in his body to confuse the enemy through different means.
And the Assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei this time is the assassin known as the "Variety".
He is a Servant who has one body but countless souls at the same time. Fundamentally speaking, "they" are originally different souls. Because they have lost the restraint of the body, "they" can completely materialize into different forms after they appear in the world.
Of course, their total amount of spiritual power is only that of "one person". After being divided, his ability value will definitely not be comparable to that of the other heroic spirits.
But because he has Assassin's unique skills, he is very strong in gathering information.
"Could it be that... we have been monitored by these guys to this day?"
Irisviel murmured in pain, and Saber frowned.
Although the opponent is not strong enough, they can sneak up on them, and there are so many of them. Even if she is the most powerful Servant, this is still a considerable threat.
Moreover, they who usually follow the target like shadows have given up their ability to cut off their breath at this moment, watching them move forward without fear, which means...
"They are serious about it."
Saber fell into an unexpected crisis, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
They are just a ragtag group of people who have superiority in numbers. If they attack from the front, Saber will never lose. Moreover, they lost in the woods outside Einzbern Castle and were saved by Lancer's Master. This fact is still disappointing to this day. Saber felt a little aggrieved,
But now, Saber is facing not only this group of Assassins who showed up on their own initiative, but also the other three heroic spirits here.
Now Saber has to protect Irisviel. No matter how weak Assassin is, he still poses a considerable threat to humans.
Even Einzbern's android Irisviel, who can use first-class magic, cannot stop Assassin with magic alone, and it is impossible for her to protect herself on her own.
Therefore, if you want to protect the Master while fighting, the large number of enemies becomes a very urgent problem.
How many Assassins can Saber drop in one fell swipe?
No, it is not a question of how many people can be stopped. Even if one person is missed at this time, that person may cause serious trauma to Irisviel.
Therefore, the question now is not "can it be stopped", but "can it be solved with one blow".
The number of Assassins surrounding them was despairing.
From Assassin's perspective, they also have a last resort.
Even if it is a group battle, it is a group composed of a limited number of people. The method of using most sacrifices in exchange for a small number of survivors to win is tantamount to suicide, so this is a trump card that can only be used in the final decisive battle.
Assassin is a Servant summoned for the purpose of the Holy Grail. They should not be able to bear being used as pawns of Tokiomi and Archer, but they cannot disobey the Command Seal.
For tonight's action, Kotomine Kirei used a command spell, ordering them to "win at all costs."
The Command Seal is an absolute command for Servants, so they can only choose to follow the command.
Although they were happy to see Saber, who was known as the strongest, change her face, but in fact she was not their target.
The designated target of attack is Rider's Master. Although Rider possesses a powerful Noble Phantasm, his destructive power is directional. If Assassin attacks from all directions, he will definitely be able to attack the cowardly short Master.
Yes, this is a critical moment for the conquering king Iskandar.
But...why is this sweaty Servant still drinking alcohol leisurely?
Kotomine Kirei, who saw this scene through Assassin, frowned.
Weber, who was beside the flower bed in the castle atrium, shouted uneasily at this moment.
"...Ri...Rider...hey, hey..."
Even after hearing Weber's voice, Rider still didn't take any action. He looked at Assassin around him, his eyes still calm.
"Hey, kid! Don't be so embarrassed. There are guests at the banquet, so you still have to drink the wine."
"They don't look like guests!?"
