Tribute to the Demon King

In the Holy Grail War, using Servants that can transform into spirits, it is very important for the Master to monitor at a safe distance.

The only difficulty with this magic is that if the contractor does not agree, then this ability cannot be used.Fortunately, Tokiomi's Servant accepted Tokiomi's request, then when Lancer materialized and was on the battlefield, Assassin's freedom could be released.

Kirei, who had been chosen by the Holy Grail three years ago, carefully hid the engraving on his right hand according to Tokiomi's order, and did not disclose the fact that he had the Command Seal until this month.From that moment on, as a rival for the Holy Grail, he broke with his master Tokiomi.

——But, that was just a pretense.In other words, acting.

In a seven-party war, if two parties form an alliance in advance, they will undoubtedly become the targets of other five-party magicians.Even if Shichen summoned Karna whose performance is superior to other Servants, there is still pressure to really fight against the five-party alliance.

This is also the reason why Kirei chose to summon Assassin.He deeply understands that his level as a magician is only half-baked, and if he summons a powerful servant, he may not be able to bring him back at all.

Then, how about summoning Assassin to control the overall situation from the side and rear.

No matter how powerful the enemy's servants are, they can only draw with Lancer at best.If Shichen might lose, Kirei would be responsible for letting Assassin take the opportunity to assassinate the hostile Master.

This was the tactic that Shichen and Kirei had determined in advance.It can be said that with Assassin always ready to counter the enemy from the dark, and Lancer, who is nearly invincible, in charge of the frontal battle, he also has the right to use the leylines, and directly connects the leylines of Fuyuki City to Lancer to ensure sufficient supply. In the time of the devil, there is no possibility of failure.

It is no exaggeration to say that the victory of the Holy Grail War has already been won by the Tohsaka family.What they have experienced so far is only the process necessary to complete the ceremony.

At this time, Assassin was not even more than one meter away from Weber.

It's impossible to imagine anyone seeing him.As far as the art of stealth is concerned, he has gone far beyond common sense.

Among all the stalkers that can be summoned by Fuyuki, his stealth skills can be regarded as the highest level.

Wearing a black cloak, he was like a thin shadow, quietly crawling above the chariot.Not to mention Weber, even Rider and Zhou Yi didn't notice his existence.

At this distance, as long as he stretches out his hand slightly, he can strangle Rider's Master's neck without any pressure.

However, Assassin did not do it directly, but respectfully asked his Master for his opinion: "Your Excellency Magician, I have already approached Rider's Master, can I make a move?"

"No, Assassin."

Kirei responded in a dull voice: "Even if you kill Rider's Master, it's useless. Although the Servant will lose its mana supply after killing the Master, the Servant's power alone can still maintain the current state for a short time. , so defeating the Master does not mean defeating Rider."

"As for Rider, who went mad after losing his Master, once he fights with that monster heroic spirit whose job description is unknown but whose attributes are above A except for luck, the Tohsaka prefecture that is close at hand may be destroyed."

As the Tohsaka side, they don't need to make risky moves as they are sure of winning.As long as you play steadily and steadily, winning in the end is a matter of course.

"Understood, Mr. Magician."

Facing Kirei's request, Assassin did not have any objection, and obediently agreed: "Then, may I ask the next action plan?"

"Go to Archer's Master."

Without thinking, Kirei immediately replied: "He should be near Saber's Master, otherwise he wouldn't be sure of such a plan of action. You go find him, and then report to me his movements. Archer is too dangerous, he must be taken away." Put it in the monitoring range... If he plans to attack the Servants of other parties, don't worry about it, if he plans to attack Lancer, please notify me immediately."

"Got it, Mr. Magician."

Assassin responded obediently, without the slightest doubt, and completely accepted the Master's order.

Although he cannot be called a good man as a human being, he will completely faithfully execute the orders of his master.Even if the master—that is, the person whom he agrees with falls into any disadvantage, he will never betray, and he will silently obey no matter how many unreasonable orders.

This is him.Even among all the Hassans, he was considered an outlier, a loyal mediocrity who made a deal with the Demon God for Hassan's position.

...But even he was a little doubtful about Kirei's order.

This order seems very reasonable, but it is slightly different from the plan that the Master's master made at the beginning.

His original duty was to patrol around Tohsaka Mansion, and work with Lancer to kill all incoming enemies.Theoretically, this is an almost incomprehensible partner, and he also has a good impression of the loyal and golden heroic spirit, and is willing to cooperate with him.

But if they were to track down Archer's Master, it would mean spreading the Tohsaka Mansion in front of everyone.If there was a heroic spirit attacking him, he wouldn't be able to drive back without using the Command Seal.According to Tohsaka Tokiomi's plan, directly assassinating Archer's Master is the safest choice, and the variables of killing with a knife are really too big.

...Is this really okay?No, forget it, or obey the order.

Wearing a white skull mask, he silently turned into a spirit son and disappeared into the air.

Kiritsugu on the other side didn't know at all that he was going to be watched by a servant, he just frowned and focused on Saber who fell into the forest.

For some reason, Saber, who was hit by Archer, didn't display his terrifying defensive power, but was almost directly on the verge of death.He couldn't even maintain his materialization, and he tried his best to continue to escape with his Master.

Seeing this scene, Kiritsugu vaguely guessed about Saber's real name.

If Saber is really "he"... Don't take it too easy to kill him.

But instead of letting him go, it's better to defeat him in one go——

"Archer, catch up! He's already entered the forest, strike again!"

Without hesitation, Kiritsugu continued to give Archer orders.

Although this Servant's attribute is very weak, as Archer, the strongest attribute is magic power, and it is only B.But Kiritsugu was very satisfied with his servant.

It has ultra-long-range sniper ability, absolutely obeys orders, and has not shown any signs of knight disease so far.Although seemingly weak, he is a servant who fits perfectly with Kiritsugu.

Sure enough, using compatibility summoning was the right choice——

"Got it, Master...he's out of range of my attack, I'm moving towards you now—uah!"

In the earphone, Kiritsugu suddenly heard Archer's mournful cry.

He was startled suddenly, and when he turned around, he found that the pitch-black heroic spirit had shot down Archer, who was moving at high speed in the air, with one shot.

"——Hey, the red one, just pointed at my price with a sword, do you want to take it?"

Smiling grinningly, Zhou Yi recalled the spike on his right hand. Zhou Yi slowly swung his tail, and slowly approached Archer who was pierced through his abdomen and fell to the ground.
