No one knows King Arthur better than I do

Even if it wasn't for Karl's temporary inability to make a shot for some reason, there would be nothing wrong with Hercules this time.

But that doesn't work either.

Karl was too afraid of scaring the guy he was targeting away, and wanted too much to kill him.

and so…

Carl, who recovered from his thoughts, patted Hercules' thick arm.

"Go, don't let me down."

'Roar! '

Hercules tapped on his chest with an expression of 'you can rest assured', and after Karl nodded, Hercules also started his first assassination plan.

★

"In this state, you are a bit like Berserker."

Hundred-faced Hassan gained a much greater boost after arriving as Berserker than when she arrived as Assassin.

Because of Hassan Baimao's special Noble Phantasm, if she originally appeared as an assassination team, each body would be further weakened on the basis of the low panel.

A certain physical advantage can only be erupted when all the individuals are combined into one.

But when he came down as a berserker, it was completely different.

When appearing as a legion, because each individual has the blessing of madness, this makes the assassination team, which had a certain weakness, directly transfer to a berserker team!

Still very sharp.

Then such a huge existence after the combination of the team can fully exert the physical advantages of a Berserker.

In this way, she actually has the power to fight against ordinary heroic spirits.

As a Berserker, it is also quite qualified.

'Roar! '

Because of this, after Baimao Hassan heard what her Master said, she responded by roaring in the posture of a two-meter-high pitch-black strong man.

Instead, the two artificial maids of Einzbern who had been with Ilya stood up at this time to persuade their eldest lady.

"Miss Ilya, although this position is still within the coverage of the Einzbern Great Barrier, it is already on the edge. During the Holy Grail War, I don't know the opponent's movements. Standing in this position, you should be careful to be caught. Sneak attack."

Hearing what her maid said, Ilya waved her hand casually.

"No problem. If there is a heroic spirit rushing at this distance, Berserker will help me kill the opponent. If there is an attack like Archer..."

Saying so, Illya turned her attention to her two maids.

"Aren't you still there?"

When Ilya said this, she still had the smile she usually had on her face, but her eyes didn't smile at all.

On the contrary, the two maids beside her didn't give any feedback, they just nodded expressionlessly.

"We'll do our best... be careful!"

The two maids who didn't react before seemed to have noticed something, and now they came directly to Ilia's side and protected her behind her.

These two maids really planned to stop the attack with all their lives.

They have already made up their minds to die for Ilia.

but……

It wasn't Archer's long-range sniper attack, nor Caster's magic trick, but a tall figure suddenly rushed out from the forest, and then charged towards them with the posture of a mountain rolling stone.

Seeing this guy who jumped out suddenly, even Ilya was taken aback for a moment.

Because the opponent came out completely from within the coverage of the Great Barrier!

In other words, Einzbern's Great Barrier had no effect on the opponent at all.

So the sudden appearance of the other party made Ilya stunned for a moment.

But at this moment, the other party came to Ilya.

"It's over!"

At this time, the distance between Ilia and Hercules was at most twenty centimeters.

If Hercules wanted to kill her at this distance, she wouldn't even have the ability to resist.

Hercules can kill her with just one punch at this distance, and she can't even use the Command Seal in time.

The two maids who planned to protect Ilia with their bodies also tried their best to do something at this time.

But it is already late.

This distance is the distance to kill.

Even Ilya gritted her teeth, very unwilling.

But there was nothing to stop it.

Hercules rushed over directly.

then…

——Heracles passed by Ilya's side (

That's right, Hercules didn't care about her at all, as if he didn't see her as the Master, he rushed to the side of Baimao Hassan who was reaching out his hand, and grabbed her by the neck.

After Baimao Hassan got her body together, she was even a little taller and stronger than Hercules right now.

And it also has the blessing of madness.

But just like this, she was like a little chick who could not resist in front of Hercules, and Hercules grabbed her by the neck, and then it was the same as when Hercules came, he grabbed Hassan the Hundred-faced Afterwards, Yiliya and the others dragged Baimao directly into the forest at a speed that they could not react to at all, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This……

"Sera...I'm still alive..."

Ilya sat directly on the ground, feeling like she was alive after a catastrophe.

At this time, the maid who had returned to her usual expressionless face also nodded.

"It looks so, Miss Elijah."

After such a conversation, all three of them were silent for a while.

After Yiliya recovered, she looked around and realized that the hundred-faced Hassan who was guarding her side like a protector just now... is gone!

It was at this time that Ilya regained her sanity from the previous accident, and then shouted recklessly in the direction where Hercules disappeared before.

"Berserker—!"

……

7. The essence of a hero cannot be hidden

Hercules' first assassination... In a broad sense, it should have been a success, right?

Karl looked at the hundred-faced Hassan who had turned into golden dust and left the scene, and recalled the actions of Hercules who was standing next to him just now, not sure.

What did Hercules do just now...

He rushed to the enemy head-on, then grabbed the enemy's neck and dragged him to a place where no one was around.

Then, after confirming that there was no one there, he slapped the almost strangled Hassan's head with a backhand slap.

And then…

And then now, Karl and Hercules stood aside watching the scene of Hassan's exit.

Think about it carefully... First, I created an environment where only myself and the target were around, and then killed the opponent cleanly. No one bothered me when I killed the opponent, and no one saw that it was Hercules who killed the opponent...

Is this a successful assassination?

Carl always felt that something was not quite right.

But Carl didn't assassinate anyone else either.

If I have to say it, looking back at his life experience, he is more than ten times stronger than Hercules!

His knowledge of assassination may be limited to the Assassin's Creed he played in his previous life.

And looking back at his gaming experience...

It seems to be similar to the assassination method of Hercules.

Well, that's fine.

Maybe it was an assassination.

'Roar'

Karl was wondering if this was an assassination, and Hercules yelled when he saw Karl frowning and thinking about something.

Hercules is wise.

He just can't talk.

This means that for Karl, whose understanding of communication is not all about language, Hercules and Karl can communicate completely.

At most, Karl would feel that the berserk Hercules was a bit mentally retarded, and would often convulse wantonly.

So he understood what Hercules said.

"Are you reflecting on the fact that you didn't kill the opponent's Master just now?"

Hercules obviously noticed Hassan's Master when he rushed over. In other words, if he wanted to do that at that time, he would have killed the opponent's Master long ago.

Carl also saw this scene.

So Carl knew - Hercules did it on purpose.

When Hercules rushed over, the Master who was close to the opponent planned to attack immediately.

But after he scanned around and found that Assassin's Master was not the two maids, but the little girl, he stopped.

And then there was the look of him pretending to be crazy and stupid now.

Karl stared at him blankly for a while, and after seeing Hercules a little nervous, Karl suddenly smiled.

"You did it on purpose."

Hearing Karl's question, Hercules wanted to refute something immediately, but after noticing Karl's eyes, this tower-like man gave up his resistance and nodded seriously.

He just stared at Carl.

After a while, Carl smiled and patted his thick arm.

"Don't look at me like that. Speaking of which, if you punched that little girl at that time, I might be the one who stopped you."

Ok?

Hercules looked at Karl with some surprise, but Karl turned around and explained to him during the retreat from the area of ​​Einzberenberg.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with you doing that—it's the same as when you fought in ancient times, Hercules, you've fought a war too, if you face a powerful kingdom, you have two chances, the first One opportunity is to assassinate the opponent's king, and the second opportunity is to crush the opponent's army, which one would you choose?"

'Roar'

Hercules chose the second option without thinking about it.

Karl also seemed to have thought of the other party's answer a long time ago, so he shrugged directly at this moment.

"So it's all the same."

"Killing the opponent's master is equivalent to assassinating the opponent's king, and then expecting the opponent's army to fend for itself... Maybe it is possible, but in my eyes, this is not a victory."

"It is my idea that the opponent's force must be crushed."

Carl who said so turned his head and showed a sunny smile to Hercules.

"So don't admit it, I don't think you did anything wrong. This was a successful assassination, and we also crushed the other side's force, didn't we?"

Hercules stared at Carl's face, and was stunned for a long time. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes, nodded silently, and then let out a soft growl.

'Roar'

Just as Karl saw Hercules' subconscious actions and recognized the big man just now, Hercules also recognized Karl, the Master's Master, after hearing what Karl said.

If it was placed in his own era, Karl would definitely be a hero.
