Super God: If I punch you, you will die

By manipulating the children through vengeful spirits, Assassin gradually separates Ruler and Lin Yan. While throwing scalpels, Assassin also slowly moves Lin Yan to a location where he can be killed with a single blow.

Ruler is purifying the vengeful spirits that are possessing the children one by one.

However, the number of children is enormous, and more importantly, even if the vengeful spirits are elevated, they haven't lost their value as hostages. While protecting them might be easier after the vengeful spirits are dispelled, that's about it.

During this process, Ruler came to his senses.

"Lin Yanjun! Come back here quickly!"

Hearing her voice, Lin Yan finally became alert. Because of the children who had attacked, he and Ruler were now completely separated.

Even if they wanted to protect Lin Yan from the Assassin's attack, if a dozen or so children formed a human wall in front of him, it would be impossible to protect Lin Yan's safety in an instant.

"Too late."

Assassin pushed off the wall and charged towards Lin Yan. He held a meat cleaver in both hands, seemingly intending to use it to sever Lin Yan's head.

Confidence in absolute victory.

A tone of despair and defeat.

However, before Lin Yan made the decision to transform, and before Assassin severed Lin Yan's head, someone appeared who was one step ahead of them.

The archers of the divine realm. The arrows released by "Black" Archer Chiron cleaved through the thick fog that shrouded the entire city like a ferocious shark.

It was too late by the time they realized what had happened. The arrow, imbued with powerful magic, exploded like a grenade. Its force was so great that even Lin Yan was blown away by the aftershock. As for Assassin, who was directly hit, a part of his body was forcibly ripped out.

"Goo!"

Despite letting out groans of agony, Assassin still managed to leap up, bounding from one building to another, desperately trying to escape.

At this moment.

"Don't try to escape!"

Ruler, however, was close behind at lightning speed.

Perhaps because they were all focused on escaping, the children's movements began to become monotonous. Ruler, noticing this, immediately waved his holy flag at the "black" Assassin who was speeding across the wall.

Although "Black" Assassin managed to parry with his two-handed cleavers, the Holy Banner wasn't a bladed weapon; rather, it was a weapon that used its steel flagpole to deflect attacks and then defeat its opponent.

Moreover, Joan of Arc's holy banner was always with her on the battlefield and is still regarded as a sacred symbol of her to this day.

While Jack the Ripper's blade is also a symbol of terror, it cannot surpass the Holy Banner, which is renowned on the battlefield.

"Black" Assassin crashed down. She was struck with such force that it created a crater-like hole in the stone slab, leaving her almost completely unable to fight.

The sad thing about the Assassin class is that she doesn't have the stamina to engage in a direct confrontation with classes like the Three Knights and Rulers.

"Woo!"

Even so, "Black" Assassin still struggled desperately to escape. Ruler glanced at Lin Yan and saw that the children possessed by the vengeful spirits immediately collapsed to the ground one after another as if their souls had left their bodies.

The reason likely stemmed from the damage inflicted on the "Black" Assassin. Ruler concluded this. Her assessment was correct. The "Black" Assassin had weakened to the point that even the vengeful spirits possessing the children were calling back to themselves.

The dense fog that served as her Noble Phantasm began to gradually dissipate.

"Mother."

"Black" Assassin lay on the ground, trying to crawl away from the scene using only her hands, while shouting for her mother. Witnessing this, Ruler couldn't help but feel an indescribable pity for her.

If asked whether she was a perpetrator or a victim, she would undoubtedly be considered a perpetrator. However, ultimately, her journey to becoming a perpetrator probably began when she became a victim. This level of behavior is easily predictable simply by observing her demeanor and hearing her voice.

And then. Even so, she is ultimately an evil being. If left unchecked, her phenomenon might no longer be acceptable within the concept of a Servant.

This is an extremely peculiar, abnormal, and beyond-the-scope monster.

In order to elevate and make her disappear through baptismal chanting, Ruler went around to Assassin, who was desperately crawling forward, and covered her face with his hand.

"The Lord will forgive all injustices, forgive all calamities, and at the same time save lives from the grave, showing mercy and compassion."

Perhaps sensing something, those icy blue eyes widened in terror.

"No."

Ruler did not respond to her words, but continued chanting.

"Stop! Help me, Mom!"

Ruler, who was clenching his teeth and trying to continue chanting, suddenly felt a tremendous magical force.

"This... is a Command Seal!"

"Mother."

In an instant, "Black" Assassin vanished. Did the Master sense the Servant's danger and activate a Command Spell? It seems she was indeed monitoring the Assassin's situation from somewhere. While her blatant disregard for her wickedness goes against a mage's principles, she seems to have a clear understanding of the Holy Grail War's system.

Ruler could still vaguely sense the presence of the "Black" Assassin. She was probably still lingering somewhere in the city. Now that the fog had dissipated, the search should be much easier. He absolutely couldn't let her escape at this crucial moment.

"Let's hurry and chase after Lin Yanjun!"

Lin Yan nodded and started running after Ruler. Liu Dao Lingxia used a Command Spell because she saw the thick fog gradually dissipating. The dissipation of the fog meant that her power had weakened drastically, which naturally indicated that she was in a critical situation.

"Mother."

Seeing the "Black" Assassin crouching on the ground in pain, Lingxia gently picked her up. Although she was a Servant, the girl only had the weight that matched her appearance. Assassin's body was so light that Lingxia felt as if it were empty inside.

"sorry."

"Don't talk anymore. Go and rest."

As Lingxia spoke, she quickened her pace. "We have no choice but to retreat from here for now. Fortunately, it's very close to where the two of us live in seclusion."

"What should we do next?"

"Let's think about everything after you've recovered from your injuries. Right now, you should rest well."

As Lingxia spoke, she pondered. She desperately wanted the Holy Grail, and to achieve that goal, they would undoubtedly become obstacles. But this made eliminating them even more difficult. Perhaps it would be wiser to prepare for a long-term battle and temporarily leave the city of Torifas.

Fortunately, as long as there are magicians around, there's no shortage of information. No matter where the Holy Grail is in the world, it should be traceable.

"Mom, I want to hear you play the piano again."

Hearing such a childish request, Lingxia couldn't help but chuckle. Even though she should have been in a lot of pain, she still smiled and acted coquettishly.

"I understand, I'll figure something out."

Rather than considering strategy, Lingxia now feels that fulfilling her wishes is more important.

Seeing Jack smile despite his serious injuries, Lingxia felt slightly relieved. The thick fog had indeed dissipated, and if they didn't leave soon, they might be found again.

Lingxia hurried along the narrow alley, barely wide enough for one car. Although she saw people collapsed on the road everywhere, she ignored them all. She wasn't saddened by their condition, but simply felt they were unlucky. More importantly, she needed to ensure her daughter, whom she was carrying, could recover peacefully.

The streetlights, now back on, suddenly illuminated the window of the shop facing the road.

The reflected light allowed Lingxia to catch a glimpse of "that." A figure. The unidentified person, dressed in strange clothing clearly not from modern times, was drawing a bow and arrow, aiming it at her. Undoubtedly an enemy, and their target was Jack on her back and herself.

A decision must be made now. If things continue this way, that arrow will undoubtedly pierce both him and Jack. Although he doesn't know what will happen to Jack, he is certain to die instantly; there's no way to count on any miracle.

They could neither escape nor fight, and the enemy was unlikely to show any mercy.

In other words, he had absolutely no means of resistance. Therefore, what he was about to do was completely meaningless.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Although it actually makes no sense, Liu Daolingxia felt that she still had to do it.

All of the above thoughts were completed in a split second.

Lingxia suddenly turned around and let go of Jack's arms. Naturally, Jack was thrown to the stone floor. The girl, suddenly released, stared blankly at Lingxia, frozen in place.

"Mother?"

The sharp pain was only momentary, but she could still intuitively grasp a fact.

I'm beyond saving.

This was a war with little chance of victory. Due to the nature of assassins, she could only unleash her true power in a battle for survival, and there was no way she could engage in a fair and square confrontation with her opponent.

Even if it were an assassination attempt on a Master, it would be difficult to succeed if the Master were entrenched in a fortress. More fatally, Master Rokudou Reika is not a magician and cannot replenish the magical energy that powers her Servants.

So from the very beginning, they were already far ahead of their competitors at the starting line. If they knew clearly who the operator was, they would absolutely protest against such unfair conditions.

However, Lingxia didn't take these things to heart at all.

She was equally indifferent to the fact that she had killed people. Although she had killed both the most heinous criminals and the most innocent, she felt no remorse. She might feel sorry for them, but that was all.

There are only two key points.

Jack the Ripper saved Lingxia's life, fulfilling his own desire to live.

Then, although it was only for a short time, the days I spent with her were incredibly happy.

Even if it is a bloody and cruel thing.

Liu Daolingxia was still genuinely happy.

mom.

A girl with a childlike voice called out to her. Lingxia didn't care what her true identity was. Just that made her happy. Just that filled her daily life with joy.

The happy dream is finally coming to an end.

There are countless regrets. But even if you regret such things, it's pointless.

This is a pleasant dream.

Before her thoughts became muddled, Lingxia quickly began to formulate the sentences she wanted to say in her mind.

Seeing himself lying face up on the ground, Jack hurriedly came closer.

"Mother."

He gently touched her cheek. He still had that much strength left. He smiled. That was all he could manage. He could say goodbye. But that wasn't possible. There were more important things to do now.

My parting words consisted of two sentences.

“I commanded with two Command Spells, ‘Even without me, you will live.’ Jack.”

Keeping this thing would only be a waste.

Using the last two Command Seals should at least slightly increase her chances of survival. Magic, after all, I still don't understand it at all.

Since I don't understand, let's just take it as a blessing. Like a mother comforting a frightened child, Lingxia used a Command Spell.

"No, no, no, Mom! No, no, no."

What a clever daughter, Lingxia thought.

Finally, there was no feeling left, and no ability to think anymore.

Reika Rokudou simply wore the expression most suitable for the current situation: a smile. "Red" Archer had killed "Black" Assassin's Master. Normally, leaving them alone wouldn't have been a problem; in fact, it would have been more advantageous for them to disrupt the enemy's plans. They were murderers; even if they did things outside the scope of the Holy Grail War, only the mages would be troubled. For "Red" Archer, this was originally irrelevant.

However, the "black" Assassin has dragged the children into it.

On this point alone, Assassin and her Master have become enemies of the "Red" Archer. The Master's actions, in particular, are unforgivable. While Assassin is a child, the Master is an adult. This means she condoned the Servant's practice of involving children.

She drew her bow and arrow, intending to eliminate both the Master and the Assassin. Surprisingly, however, the Assassin's Master, perhaps to protect the Servant, turned to face her.

Perhaps by chance, their eyes met.

It wasn't the appearance of a sinister and ruthless magician, but rather an ordinary woman dressed in modern clothes, the kind you'd see anywhere.

The woman wore a blank, melancholic expression, waiting defenselessly for him to fire the arrow. No, that wasn't it. She seemed to want to protect Assassin.

That's clearly a meaningless action.

"Red" Archer didn't hesitate at all. Since the other party had generously offered to let her resolve the matter, that was naturally the best course of action. She simply fired the arrow with a neutral attitude, without any emotion.

This arrow was more than enough to kill someone. The arrow pierced the opponent's chest, and "Red" Archer instantly felt the reality of having killed Assassin's Master.

"Mother."

Faced with the girl's desperate cries, the Assassin's Master simply touched her cheek, said something, and then died.

Although she felt a pang of sadness bordering on guilt, her heart remained unwavering. Though she was a child, an Assassin was, after all, a Servant. A Servant was summoned to the mortal world to win the Holy Grail War.

Even if it appears in the form of a child, that is merely its prime.

Although it's very unusual, such situations probably do occur.
