In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"not good!!"

Seeing that Luo Wei was surrounded by purple smoke and that scarlet arm that kept extending, Kai was shocked. He immediately drew his Fiery Longsword and charged towards Luo Wei with all his might.

The Saint is their only chance to save Artoria now. How could he allow the Saint to die here? And as a knight, if he allows his leader to be approached and assassinated by the enemy, how could he possibly live with himself and his reputation intact?!

Although Kai had shouted loudly and tried his best to take a step, the arm extended much faster than expected.

"It's no use, heretic, you're already dead."

The next moment, Kyoko's fingers successfully touched Luo Wei's chest. Then, without any hesitation, she reached forward and pulled back, bursting out with a blinding red light. She returned to her original position with her spoils of war, and then fully revealed herself. She was a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure and black hair, wearing a veil. Her clothing was traditional Islamic, or rather Persian, with a unique exotic flair.

At this moment, the girl was smiling as she looked at Lovi, whose heart had been ripped out, enjoying the gruesome death of the heretic as much as possible.

"Go and die."

--boom! !

The heavy weight in her hand was instantly crushed, as if something had exploded. But under Kyoko's expectant gaze, the response wasn't the gruesome death of the heretic. Instead, there stood Lovi, who should have had his heart ripped out and been crushed to death in agony, yet he seemed completely unaffected, quietly meeting her gaze. His eyes showed no pain or despair, only a hint of amusement and surprise.

"What?! I just ripped your heart out, how could you be alright?!"

Upon seeing this, the smile and composure on Kyoko's face vanished without a trace, replaced by surprise and astonishment.

Her eyes were fixed on Luo Wei in front of her, trying to see something in his eyes, but no matter how she looked, there was nothing wrong with his body. The place where she should have ripped out his heart was now only filled with white powder drifting in the evening breeze.

"Surprised? If you are, then take a good look at what you have in your hand."

Seeing Kyoko's astonishment, Loewe didn't offer much explanation but instead showed her what she had in her hand.

"This is……"

Looking at the pool of bright red liquid flowing in her hand, Kyoko was slightly taken aback, because she realized that it was not blood, but the juice that flowed out when the pomegranate was broken.

In Christian culture, the pomegranate has a close symbolic connection with Jesus, but it is generally not said that the pomegranate is Jesus' heart. Instead, it is associated with Jesus' blood, suffering, and resurrection.

Because the bright red juice of the pomegranate is similar in color to the blood flowing from the heart of Christ, and the split pomegranate symbolizes the blood left by Jesus during his martyrdom, foreshadowing the eternal life that Jesus will bring to believers after his resurrection, such a ritual exists in Christianity. It was originally used to replace the heart for short-term life extension. Just now, she wanted to take out her heart, so Luo Wei gave her this pomegranate.

“It is a pomegranate, the heart of the Son of God, the blood flowing from the prophet Jesus,” Lovi replied.

In Islam, Jesus is called "Isa" and is considered one of the important prophets sent to mankind by Allah.

Logically speaking, the hint he gave was already quite obvious; even this madman in front of him should have come over and talked honestly by now.

however……

"You damned heretic, how dare you use the term 'heretic' to slander the great Isaac! Die!!"

Upon hearing Isaac's name from Loewe, Kyonobu immediately regarded it as blasphemy and insult, and her temper became even more volatile.

At this moment, the killing intent emanating from her eyes became even more ferocious, and she decisively used another Hassan's ability in the shortest distance and in the shortest time.

"—Zabaniya!!"

Her beautiful body trembled slightly in the next moment, and then the magic on her surface began to surge continuously. The dazzling magical light was like a star in the night sky. Then, without any hesitation, she rushed directly towards Luo Wei, her speed far exceeding that of Kai, who was desperately rushing over.

This Noble Phantasm originates from Hassan the Radiant Star. Its essence is speed. By burning magic circuits and compressing magical power, it continuously increases its speed, transforming into a flash of light before the enemy can react, directly piercing the enemy's head and escaping safely.

Kyoko used Hassan's ability to rip out hearts because she saw that Hassan's Cursed Arm had no effect. She didn't care whether she could escape from Kay and Percival afterward. All she wanted now was to kill this heretic who called her by her real name and compared himself to him.

'Isn't she just a lunatic? She deserved to have lost the election to Baek Maung Hassan!!'

Seeing that Kyoko had burned her magic and charged at him again, Lovi gained a new understanding of Kyoko's mind.

At first, he also felt it was a bit unreasonable that the madman who had learned all the abilities of the eighteen Hassans lost to the weakling, the Hundred-Faced Hassan. But now, he felt it was perfectly reasonable.

How can you carry out assassinations and lead a group if you don't have even a little bit of brains?

The moment the Noble Phantasm was activated, Kyoko's figure instinctively traversed hundreds of meters, arriving in an instant before Lovi's eyes. Furthermore, in order to deliver a fatal blow, she also attached another Noble Phantasm to her outstretched palm.

"——Delusion Poison (Zabaniya)!!"

This is the signature skill of Silent Hassan, a special poison that can kill with a single blow at any time, and can even kill an elephant with just a touch.

The two Noble Phantasms working together rapidly amplify the poison; this combination could potentially put even Lancelot, who is meeting the enemy for the first time, at a great disadvantage.

only……

"Too young."

Seeing this, Luo Wei showed no mercy, directly reversing the position of his body and the soil, and his body disappeared from the spot without hesitation, leaving Kuang Xinzi empty-handed. Then, to Kuang Xinzi's astonishment, he reappeared behind her. Upon seeing this, Kuang Xinzi suddenly mixed purple smoke with deadly poison, intending to envelop Luo Wei behind her, creating a scene that was overwhelming.

But Rowe's steps did not stop. He simply raised his cane and tapped it lightly on the ground. In an instant, Raphael's power mercilessly swept the poisonous fog into the sky, completely dispersing it. Facing the Mad Nobunaga charging at him again, whose speed and trajectory were seen through by his eyes, he used his saintly physique and the top-grade magic wand in his hand to swing it directly at her head.

call out! !

boom! ! !

It certainly sounds like a good start.

In just a moment, Kyoko felt stars appear before her eyes, and then her body was sent flying hundreds of meters away by Luo Wei like a cannonball, forcibly brought to a stop.

Although it looks complicated and full of tricks, the only thing that actually comes out is the flashy and unpredictable Kyoshiro.

It only took Lo Wei three rounds to crush her, two of which were for a peaceful resolution, giving her a little hint. Otherwise, when she opened up, Lo Wei could have pierced her head.

If we had to make an analogy, the difference between the two of them at this moment is no different from Mordred raising her sword to challenge the Lion King who has become a god, or Gilgamesh holding his Ea sword to confront the Awakened One.

The reason her brain didn't split open mid-air was because she had shown mercy.

"Oh my goodness..."

Then, after about ten seconds, Kai, who had run to the vicinity of Rowe, was completely stunned by what he saw.

Although they knew that Lovi was strong, they thought that the Saint was the kind of magician-type Servant who liked to use miracles and make preparations. After all, they had never seen Lovi fight directly in melee combat. He always used all kinds of miracles and summoned angels to fight, so it would be very dangerous if an assassin rushed in.

But seeing it with my own eyes tonight, putting everything else aside, the speed of his reaction and the scene of him swinging his cane to hit someone at the end were enough to shock me.

Percival, in particular, couldn't help but recall that utterly absurd story from the Bible: the legend that Moses parted the Red Sea. However, there were different conclusions about how he actually parted the Red Sea. Some said it was a miracle given by God, while others said he punched through the Red Sea with his own strength.

Percival initially thought that the idea of ​​splitting the sea with a single punch was an exaggeration, but now it seems that it's not impossible.

It's really hard to imagine how powerful this saint's seemingly frail body actually is.

However, a saint is a saint. Even when it comes to hitting women, he doesn't hesitate at all. He truly deserves to be called a great sage. He is indeed free from the troubles of the secular world.

"Uh... what's wrong with me?"

In the distance, Kuangxinzi, who had rolled countless times on the mountainside like a cannonball, stood up groggily, clutching his bleeding forehead. The murderous intent in his eyes had suddenly become much clearer after being struck by the cane.

Although the resentment and disgust for the heretics in her heart had not subsided in the slightest, Kyoko was not a fool. She realized that she had no chance of defeating this bastard who insulted Isa by comparing himself to him. All she could do now was to retreat first and then go back to find her Hassan predecessors to take revenge together.

Unlike the Knights of the Round Table, who were bound by morality and chivalry and unwilling to flee easily, the assassins, led by Hassan, were able to act more freely. Therefore, upon seeing the situation turn against them, Kyoko leaped up and immediately fled.

"Hmph, trying to escape!"

Seeing that the other party wanted to escape, Kaden, who had just been tricked by the other party, was not happy. He drew his sword and prepared to chase after the seriously injured Kyoko, and then kill her, or drag her back for a good interrogation.

"No need, let her go."

However, Luo Wei reached out in time to stop Kai's pursuit.

Of course, this wasn't because he felt sorry for her. If he really wanted to kill her, Kyoko wouldn't have had a chance to escape. Rather, what he wanted was for Kyoko to escape so that she could explain their situation to the other Hassans and then have a smart Hassan come over to talk to them. Kyoko's life could be considered a gift to the Hassans.

If the maddened prince didn't tell the other Hassans about their affair, then of course it wouldn't matter.

The force of that strike with the cane wasn't just a simple impact; a magical power had already struck Kyoko's body. As long as she returned to Hassan's village, he could follow the clues and find her without any loss.

Moreover, if used properly, this madman could indeed be a formidable fighting force, and could be released to fight Agguwen in the future, so keeping him around for the time being is fine.

"Ok."

Hearing Luo Wei's instructions, Kai had some doubts but did not object.

Because he knew he was not suited to be a leader, much less a strategist. Whether in his past life or now, he was at best a knight. As for leadership, he only needed to obey the saint.

Percival is no exception; his obedience is even better than Kay's now.

But after Kyoko's antics, Kai and Percival were completely unable to sleep.

After all, no one knows if some assassins will pop up after they fall asleep.

Although Rowe suggested they could go and rest, the two insisted on keeping watch, so in the end only Rowe went back to sleep.

However, they do have a plan for tomorrow's itinerary.

They originally thought they would wander around the desert for a long time without a map, but now, their first destination has arrived.

Let's go check out Hassan first, and then see if there's an opportunity to visit King Hassan. In short, we've definitely found our first place to stay.

As for whether the Hassans would agree to let them stay, Rowe thought that as long as they weren't madmen like the fanatic who would start a fight without asking any questions, the rest of the Hassans would most likely accept the Prophet.

Now, if we let the mad scientist run around all night, we'll probably know its exact location.

Forget it, don't think about it too much, let's go to sleep...

Just as Luo Wei was preparing to sleep and rest, he suddenly realized that his limited space had become even more cramped. He opened his eyes and saw...

Kay and Percival were lying on either side of him, their eyes open, protecting him in the middle. The situation, with men on either side of him, immediately made the atmosphere strange.

Thinking of all the unofficial history about England, Lowe's brow twitched suddenly. He felt that his situation was becoming very dangerous. So, without any politeness, he kicked the two big, dumb-looking guys out and told them that if they wanted to keep watch, they should do it by the fire and not bother him.

"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!!"

But just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a series of animal roars coming from the distant desert.

Startled, Kay and Percival immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly again and asking Rowe what they should do now.

Luo Wei simply nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned over, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

They are not the target of the other party, so there is no need to care.

"..."

Seeing how relaxed Luo Wei was, Kai, standing to the side, was completely convinced.

Percival remarked from the side, "A saint is a saint indeed; he remains calm even in the face of danger..."

The three of them then spent the night in silence.

In the darkness, only that flame, which had never been extinguished, still flickered quietly.
