My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Agility, which was originally only A-level, became A++; Strength, which was B, became B++; and so on.

They were so surprised that they looked at each other in disbelief. Each of their "selves" was full of power, and their attributes had been upgraded by one level.

'Is this the power of Command Seals?' The Assassins could sense that their Master had used Command Seals.

But are Command Seals really that powerful?!

······

Chapter 393 The Dawn of Victory

The feeling that made Hui's heart palpitate came quickly and went quickly, as if it were an illusion.

However, Hui knew this was not an illusion; there was indeed something unknown.

Hui recalled the obvious magical energy fluctuations from earlier; it must have been the power of a Command Seal. The Assassin's Master had used a Command Seal on the Assassin.

'Then why is my heart palpitating? Could it be...?'

Countless thoughts flashed through Hui's mind, but in reality, less than a second had passed. In Assassin's eyes, Hui had only paused for a moment.

She turned to Assassin, wanting to observe the effect of the Command Spell she had just used.

Thinking this, Hui raised the blade in her hand again.

However, this time, when Hui Dian shot to the side of an Assassin and swung his sword to strike,

"Clang!"

The sound of weapons clashing rang out.

It was no longer the sound of a sharp blade slicing through limbs.

"Eh~?" Huiqing murmured. "Did the Command Seals increase your strength?"

"That's all!"

Hui looked at the Assassin in front of him with suspicion. Although the opponent was stronger than before, he was only about 50% stronger.

This improvement is undoubtedly huge, but in the eyes of the wise, it is still like an ant.

The Assassin struggled to hold the dagger; this was his true strength.

After all, apart from Agility being A++, all other attributes are below A. Even if it doubles, the base number is not large, and the effect of the gain is very limited.

Hui continued to apply pressure with the knife in her hand, and while the Assassin was struggling to resist, she kicked him away.

His body shot backward like a cannonball, flying more than ten meters and leaving a long gully in the snow, until he crashed into a big tree and came to a stop.

Hui was originally only the body of a 17-year-old girl, and she appeared small compared to the average two-meter-tall Assassin, but Hui's strength was far greater than his opponent's.

Hui bent slightly, then leaped into the air with a "whoosh," landing on the shoulder of another Assassin, while the sharp blade in her hand pierced the other's neck.

With a "whoosh," he drew his blade, flicked the blood off it, and using the corpse as a springboard, lunged forward again, narrowly missing another Assassin, sending another spray of blood flying...

Hui's actions did not stop, and Assassin's final cries could be heard from time to time at the scene.

However, strangely enough, this continues to this day.

All the Assassins, with remarkable tacit agreement, failed to display his A++ level of agility.

Even in death, one only displays about 50% of their previous agility.

And that... is their strategy.

They understood better than Kei that even with such an exaggerated boost from Command Seals, their poor base stats made it impossible for them to defeat Kei head-on.

In that case, the wise course of action is to use this speed as a trump card, wait for the right moment, and strike unexpectedly, following the assassin's principle of one-hit kill, to kill the main target of this mission—Matou Kariya.

All they are doing now is getting this god "familiar" with their speed, even if it comes at the cost of their lives.

Assassin knew he only had one chance to succeed.

If they reveal their true agility and alert the enemy, then the enemy will not leave behind two black puppets to protect their Master, and will instead come to slaughter them themselves.

As time went on, it turned out as expected.

Hui became more and more adept at killing, and at the same time, she became more and more "accustomed" to the agility that the Assassins deliberately displayed to her.

The Assassins, though different in body, are of one mind and do not need to communicate with words. In their silence, they know... the time is ripe.

Swish, swish, swish...!

The remaining thirty-odd Assassins suddenly changed direction, no longer dodging, but swarming towards Hui as if they had given up hope and were making a desperate gamble.

At this moment, Hui also became passionate.

During these months of pregnancy, Hui hardly moved around, although staying at home didn't bother her much.

But in reality, Hui is not the quiet, demure girl she always was.

This feeling of being cut to the bone is very exciting for Hui.

Simply put, they got carried away.

Seeing that these Assassins seemed to have given up resisting, Hui grinned maliciously, "Finally not hiding anymore!"

Although the Assassins swarmed in large numbers, their speed remained the same as before, not fast.

More importantly, the [Eight Blades of Chasing Wind] had already been fully charged. Although using magic power as internal force would reduce its power, the [Eight Blades of Chasing Wind], which had been stacked more than twenty times, was already comparable to the power of a D-rank Noble Phantasm.

In Hui's vision, the necks, chests, and bellies of these swarming Assassins were gradually becoming a single line.

We just need to wait for this line to straighten out.

A knife!

Just one cut!

A fatal blow!

That would eliminate all the Assassins surrounding us.

Closer... even closer!

Hui's hand gripping the knife began to tighten, and her body was taut like a fully drawn string, leaning slightly forward.

With a "whoosh!"

A faint sonic boom echoed through the air. The next moment, Hui appeared less than a meter away from these Assassins, her sword held horizontally at her left hip. The blade shot out like lightning, disappearing almost instantly. This speed briefly broke the sound barrier.

In that instant, all the Assassins felt a real sense of danger, as their skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.

The moment the knife is drawn, the intention is already there!

However, even though these Assassins knew they would die, they showed no intention of backing down. Rather, their true purpose was to lure the enemy into attacking them with all their might, leaving them unable to spare any attention.

The blade is about to make contact with the leftmost Assassin. Once contact begins, the entire process, from left to right, will end within 0.01 milliseconds.

However, at that moment...

Just as Hui was launching a full-scale attack.

The Assassins who attacked Matou Kariya from dozens of meters away finally revealed their fangs.

There were seven of them in total. The reason they didn't send out more clones was to prevent Hui from becoming alert to the situation.

The four Assassins launched suicidal attacks on the thighs of the two Black Ghosts, completely disregarding the fact that their backs were exposed to the Black Ghosts' iron fists.

Thump thump...!

The black phantom clenched his fists into enormous fists and slammed them hard into the backs of the two Assassins, making a dull thud. Blood spurted from their mouths, but they still clung to the black phantom's legs...

Thump thump... Crack...!

That was the sound of a broken spinal cord. The area behind Assassin visibly collapsed; they were no longer alive.

However, their deaths successfully delayed the Black Ghost.

The remaining three Assassins finally stopped hiding their A++ level agility. Their speed increased instantly, and in the blink of an eye, they passed the blockade of the two black phantoms, only two meters away from Matou Kariya.

"What?!" Matou Kariya was shocked by what he saw, and unconsciously took half a step back to block Tohsaka Aoi.

From the very beginning, Aoi Tohsaka held Rin with her head down and eyes closed, not daring to look up at the bloody scenes on the battlefield.

Or rather, she couldn't see Hui and Assassin at all from the beginning; all she could see were one fallen corpse after another and splattered blood.

Alarm bells rang in Matou Kariya's mind. He couldn't understand why Assassin had suddenly burst out with such speed, a speed that was no longer as slow as when they fought in the warehouse district.

He was facing a dagger that was about to pierce him in the next instant, and it was coming from three different directions at once.

In a moment of panic, Yan Ye lost his way and his mind went blank. Instinctively, he began to drive the marking insects in his body to attack the other party.

buzzing...

A swarm of Markbugs with sharp mandibles flew toward the three attacking Assassins.

And the result was as expected.

Modern magic is of very low effectiveness against the ancient mystery of Heroic Spirits.

Even a C++ level Magic Resistance like Assassin completely ignored these wasp-like Crest Worms.

The three Assassins ignored the Crest Bugs and walked straight up to Matou Kariya.

They suddenly shot towards Matou Kariya from three directions: front, back, and left.

The daggers in their hands gleamed silver under the streetlights—the light of death. Countless people throughout history have witnessed this scene as their last glimpse before dying.

Matou Kariya stared in horror as three daggers flashed toward him like lightning.

He wanted to escape, but his body couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts.

In his final moments before death, scenes from before his birth flashed before his eyes. Finally, he glanced at Aoi Tohsaka behind him, a happy smile appearing on his lips.

"To be able to see Aoi until the very last moment is enough!"

Thinking this, he felt himself turning to look at Aoi Tohsaka, determined to etch her image into his mind until the very last second.

The three Assassins also had eyes that gleamed with the prospect of victory.

By gathering the strength of their hundreds of assassins and risking their reputation as "Old Man of the Mountain," they have finally reached this point.

just,

Before they could even celebrate, a flash of light came from behind them, covering the area where they were.
