In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Hooded Caster stared dumbfounded at Anno's intimidating aura: "Holy crap, again?"

He already had enough of an Assassin with flashy tattoos, so how did this Saber who looks so cool come along?

Isn't Saber from this Holy Grail War that King of Knights guy?

Hooded Caster is numb now.

I don't know when it started, but this Holy Grail War has become unusually absurd.

First, all of humanity, including their Masters, disappeared and turned into skeletons. The sky was covered by thick, oppressive black clouds, cities were reduced to ruins, and flames inexplicably ignited.

Then, Saber in this Holy Grail War, that guy the Knight King, suddenly changed from being blue and reasonable to being black and not talking to you anymore.

Apart from the two of them, all other Servants were killed one after another by the Black Knight King, and were entangled in ominous black aura, their ability parameters decreased, their Noble Phantasms were sealed, and they became pathetic puppets—Shadow Servants, controlled by the king who underwent the change.

Putting aside his other abilities, he considered his survival skills to be top-notch, barely escaping the Knight King's pursuit and secretly investigating within Fuyuki City.

But unexpectedly, things changed again a few days ago.

The four new Servants were summoned illegally by the Holy Grail and entered Fuyuki City, seemingly with a strong purpose, as if they were looking for something.

After that, some reconnaissance runes he had set up informed him that the illegally summoned Berserker and Archer had been eliminated one after another, seemingly by another extremely powerful Servant.

That day, he also saw a holy light that pierced through the heavens and the earth, but when he followed the magic to find it, there was nothing left.

He was still surveying his surroundings when he was ambushed by an Assassin who had been summoned illegally and possessed the ability to conceal his presence.

If he weren't so bad at anything else, or if he weren't so good at surviving, he might have already been assassinated by Assassin.

And then, this is what we see before us.

He was controlling his Noble Phantasm to fight the shirtless Assassin when suddenly a terrible Servant appeared.

The servant, wielding a gleaming sword, charged menacingly towards the battlefield.

"Tsk, troublesome." He was just about to attack Saber when he saw Saber directly approach the shirtless Assassin.

Strangely, the Assassin who had been taunting and provoking him during their fight suddenly fell silent after seeing Saber and her group.

He simply used his fist techniques to maneuver and evade Saber in silence.

Caster's attention was focused on Saber and Assassin, who were already locked in combat, and he didn't sense the shield approaching at all.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his face.

He realized he had been attacked.

He hurriedly activated his skill to dodge.

Looking closer, he saw a female servant wearing armor that clearly didn't provide enough coverage, holding a huge shield, and watching him warily.

"This...there are other Servants?" Caster finally couldn't hold back any longer and started swearing, "******!"

Mashu warned, "Please don't move! If you show any aggression, I will not hesitate to smash this shield into your face!" Her face was icy, and her words were resolute.

A vein bulged on Caster's forehead: "You wanted to slap me in the face with your shield, didn't you! And you did!"

Although he had just used his skill to dodge the shield bash, Mash's shield had indeed struck his face before the skill was released.

Chapter 128 I'll Cut You into Eleven Pieces

Mashu's face flushed almost imperceptibly, and her eyes darted around.

After a second, he whispered, "No."

Caster covered his face, angrily yelling at Mashu, "You already did it! Don't tell me you didn't!" He pointed to his already red and swollen cheeks, "Look, they're all red, all swollen!!"

Mashu looked at the angry Caster, looking into his eyes.

Caster felt a little flustered by the gaze: "Why...why are you looking at me like that? I'm not going to forgive you."

Suddenly, Mashu smiled more relaxedly: "You're not as unable to communicate as Mr. Darius and that Archer."

Caster was completely bewildered: "What did you say?"

However, he still managed to pick up on two key words.

He looked at Mash with a serious expression: "Did you take care of that dark-skinned berserker and that archer?"

Mashu nodded: "It wasn't me who sent Mr. Darius and Mr. Archer off the stage, but that Saber over there."

Then, she resumed her previous cold and serious demeanor: "So, unknown Caster Servant, please state your position, otherwise, I will consider you an enemy."

"Although I am just a useless half-baked servant, that Saber over there has a holy sword that can cut you into eleven pieces."

Caster swallowed hard as he looked at Assassin, who had already been slashed several times.

"How do you expect me to explain my position? I simply answered the Holy Grail's call to participate in the Holy Grail War. Who knows why things turned out this way?" He tapped his staff in frustration. "It's inexplicable."

"Also, why did you cut it into eleven pieces?" Caster asked, puzzled.

“I was just saying, Mr. Caster,” Mashu said with a charming smile. “So, Mr. Caster doesn’t want to be our enemy?”

“Whether or not someone becomes an enemy is never something one side can decide.” Caster narrowed his eyes slightly. “So what is your stance? Are you really sure I’m no match for that Saber?”

Behind him was a huge straw man wreathed in flames.

Mash showed no fear, but confidently stated, "Our position in Chaldea is that of human history. We came here to investigate and eliminate this singularity."

“Hoo hoo, Chaldea?” Caster stroked his chin.

......

On the other side, Assassin was completely overwhelmed by Anno's slashes.

He is an Assassin. Although he is not weak in close combat, he prefers assassinations in a very short time rather than prolonged battles.

Moreover, Anno is a melee monster.

His spirit core was slashed several times, and Anno even slashed deeply into his shoulder blade with one of his swords, almost severing half of his body.

"Damn it, how is this guy so strong?" Assassin thought angrily through gritted teeth.

Even during his lifetime, he had never encountered an enemy as formidable in close combat as Anno.

It seems I have to unleash my Noble Phantasm.

It wasn't about killing, but about... creating an opportunity to escape!

He took a deep breath.

The air seemed to freeze, and space seemed to stand still.

Assassin's speed suddenly became terrifying, his afterimages seemingly transforming into several Assassins, attacking Anno from all directions.

His palms emanated terrifying magic and emitted an eerie light.

Noble Phantasm, deploy!

"Ambush from all sides, as invisible as a shadow!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Assassin attacks from all directions landed on Anno.

Chapter 129 The Wall and the Dog

Then, before the attack arrived, Anno activated his Noble Phantasm – [Guardian Chalk].

The white light shield protected Anno.

The bare-chested Assassin's Noble Phantasm does not have the effect of ignoring defense, so the result is...

One Noble Phantasm hit the invincible target, and nothing happened.

However, Assassin's initial goal wasn't to deal damage, but rather...

With the visual obstruction caused by the Noble Phantasm gone, Anno could see her surroundings clearly again.

However, the Assassin had already used his aura to conceal himself and disappeared from the spot.

“Did they escape…” Anno gripped the chalk tightly, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn't stay where he was, but quickly returned to Olga Marie and Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.

Fortunately, the Assassin didn't notice the two ordinary people; his attention was more focused on the three Servants on the field.

Anno reported to Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Master, the enemy Servants have retreated."

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and waved her hand: "Let's not worry about that filthy guy for now. Mashu seems to be chatting with that magician."

The group had been focused on Anno's battlefield and had overlooked Mashu and Caster. When they came to their senses, the two were already chatting.

“Go and take a look, Master. Miss Animusfia, please don’t stray too far from me, otherwise I’m worried that the Assassin may not have gone far and may be hiding in the shadows.”

The two nodded.

The three of them emerged from the corner, and Fujimaru Ritsuka waved to Mashu from afar: "Hey, Mashu!"

The atmosphere between Mashu and the hooded Caster was extremely harmonious, and the straw doll wrapped in fire had disappeared.

“Ah, senior.” Mashu turned around and smiled.

Caster shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Anno led the two to Mashu's side, looking at Caster opposite them.

Caster broke out in a cold sweat.

He considered himself strong and had a fierce aura, but the Saber opposite him was like a beast. Her aura locked onto him, as if he were being stared at by the eyes of an eagle, fierce and alert.

“Miss Kyrielight, tell me about the current situation.” Anno’s gaze did not leave Caster.

“Yes, young lady, hurry up and explain to this muscular man what’s going on,” Caster added.

Mashu smiled slyly: "Let me explain."

Mashu explained Caster's current situation to the group.

Anno pondered for a moment, then walked to Caster's side: "Although it may be impolite, I would like to know your real name."

He said in a serious tone, "This is necessary to protect my Master."

"As compensation, I will also reveal my real name."

Olga Marie was about to speak when Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped her.
