However, I refuse!

'BOSS....'

Xiao Sakura quietly listened to the BOSS's trust in her and the "trust" that believed in herself in her mind, and her lost heart seemed to have hope once again seeing the light in the dark.

Holding the lighter tightly in her hand, Xiao Sakura leaned against Irisviel's back, and her heart became firm again.

That's right, there's no need to underestimate yourself. The boss has always "trusted" herself, so how could she let the boss down...

At the same time, the battle between Saber and Lancer has almost entered a fierce stage. The surrounding buildings are almost destroyed by the fluctuations caused by the weapons of the two. Cracks can be seen everywhere on the ground, even the container. The thick iron sheet was also lifted.

ka ka ka-

The constant collisions between spears and invisible swords emitted incomparable sparks that lit up the entire container location, and the battle became more and more intense.

Sakura used her peripheral vision to watch the dizzying battle in front of her.

real name..

She wants to know who these two heroic spirits are in history, as long as she can know who they are, she can find something that can target them...

And at this moment, Lancer's bandage that was originally tied to the red spear disappeared in an instant, and the body of the gun was exposed and stabbed towards Saber.

stab-

The red spear collided with the invisible weapon in Saber's hand, and the red magic flow instantly broke through the weapon in Saber's hand. The golden light made Sakura somewhat unable to open her eyes, but judging from the battle situation, Lancer was in To some extent, it suppressed Saber who had been cautious all the time, so that Lancer's red spear directly pierced Saber's armor, but was quickly recovered by Irisviel beside Sakura.

At that time, Saber, who was planning to counterattack, was caught off guard by Lancer's other liberated yellow spear. The spear directly pierced Saber's wrist, and blood continued to flow down the wrist. There is no way to stop.

The battle situation began to extend in a one-sided direction...

————————————————————

"..."

However, just as Sakura was concentrating on remembering everything she saw in front of her mind, she didn't know that a ghostly figure gradually appeared in the darkness behind her.

Gradually he emerged from the darkness, the broken cloak matching his skin color to hide his figure.

No one noticed his aura, because this is the inherent skill brought by his job agency, and as a job agency dedicated to assassination, this retention skill is used to the extreme.

Assassin.

This is their job description.

"very easy...."

Asssassin looked at the defenseless Sakura and smiled disdainfully.

This is a very strange position, everyone is watching the two people who are fighting fiercely in front of them, but no one pays attention to Sakura who is at the end, and she is also the target of Assassin hiding here.

"Kill that little girl next to Irisviel."

The master said so.

As if to prove his approach once again, Assassin touched his white skull mask, raised the black dagger in his hand and pointed it at the unprepared Sakura.

"Hmph...Although you didn't offend anyone, the master has already issued a death order for you. Let's take one last look at this world, little girl."

There was no trace of pity or emotion in his tone, because it was an order from his Master.

As far as they are concerned, as long as it is the order of the master, as Assassins, they don't need any reason, and they will carry it out without hesitation. This is the loyalty retained by an assassin.

But just when he felt that killing Sakura was an easy task, he raised the dagger in his hand and was about to drop it. He even imagined in his mind the blood donation of Sakura who was hit by his dagger and sprayed out of the wound. Scenes.

But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly noticed that the lighter that was originally turned off in Sakura's hand had been turned on at some point...

A fiery red candle appeared in front of him and kept flickering.

Chapter 360 Assassin: This wave is not a loss

"Did you...see the fire?"

"?!"

Just as the dagger in Assassin's hand was about to decapitate the little girl in front of him, a strange voice suddenly rang out. Immediately, the color of the world seemed to be covered by that dark red like candle flames. In Assassin's eyes, the front Saber and Lancer, who were fighting fiercely, actually stood still there.

The world has become quiet, and in this world that seems to be static, the only thing that can be heard is the voice made by oneself...

This is how the same thing?

Looking at the strange things in front of him, an ominous premonition erupted from Assassin's heart instantly. At the same time, when he looked at the target that was close in front of him, the expression of fear on the little girl's face began to gradually change, and the corners of her mouth slightly turned towards her. Extend on both sides.

laugh..

She was... laughing evilly!

Assassin was a little shocked by this, although he didn't know why the Master ordered him to kill the little girl in front of him, but judging from the information he knows now, the little girl is just an ordinary person, no matter from her perspective on' Inexplicably, the panic and actions of the people who appeared and fought were completely in line with the role of an ordinary person.

but now..

this little girl...

Oops!

Kaka-

It's a pity that even if you have realized that something is wrong, it is impossible to completely accept it now.

Assassin's right hand holding the dagger was instantly distorted and torn apart as if it had been impacted by some force, but Assassin's reaction was quick. The moment he sensed something was wrong, he didn't immediately continue to attack. On the contrary, he Just like a gecko cutting off its tail to survive, he abandoned that right hand and immediately distanced himself from the little girl in front of him.

"Hey hey, ah ↑↓ ah ↑↓, as expected of an Assassin... He was able to react immediately. If he hadn't opened up the distance, he might have died..."

Could it be that... from the very beginning, his assassination of her has been completely seen through! ?

"..."

Assassin squinted his eyes, and looked at the little girl in front of him vigilantly. You must know that the identity of the other party is undoubtedly a human being. Although he is the weakest job agency among all job agencies, their existence is not special. Instead of targeting Heroic Spirits head-on, they target the human Master.

With the ability to block the breath, unless the subtle killing intent emitted when launching an attack, it will be captured, but, unless it is a heroic spirit, it is impossible for an existence that can achieve this level to find itself.

but..

The little girl in front of her had obviously noticed him before she launched the attack, and she specifically exposed the flaw to herself and then crippled her right hand...

To be able to do this.. this little girl, who is so divine! ?

Assassin was silent for a while, many questions gradually emerged in his mind, but they were finally gathered into one word.

retreat.

From Assassin's point of view, he didn't feel ashamed. With the current situation of insufficient information, a rash assassination would only give up his life meaninglessly. It is better to retreat and send out the information than to die meaninglessly.

Assassin knew that he had already entered the set, and was about to launch the breath blocker to leave. Although the assassination this time was unsuccessful, it did not actually cause much loss to him. It was just an arm. If he wanted to connect it at any time They can be connected, but the most important thing now is to leave here and convey her information to your master.

However, just when he was about to escape into the shadows and leave directly, something weird happened...

Assassin suddenly found that no matter which way he chose to escape, it was useless. The container or the sea behind him was like an invisible wall preventing him from leaving. He couldn't reach the candlelight of the lighter in the little girl's hand at all. Out of reach.

"It's useless, Assassin, there is no way to escape before Sakura's dream ends~"

The little girl named Sakura turned around slowly, with a childlike smile on her face.

Dream?Can't escape?

Assassin listened carefully to what Sakura said, but at the same time couldn't understand what she said.

Sakura looked at Assassin with a smile

"Everything in this world seems to be suspended. It has been frozen here. Without Sakura's permission, no one can detect it, and no one has a way to leave...unless..."

"Kill me~"

Whoosh-!

In the darkness, the poisonous dagger was pulled out from Assassin's waist, and was thrown towards her at the same time as the little girl spoke the last note.

Ting -!

However, the dagger thrown in the past did not have any effect, a white phantom appeared behind the little girl and flashed away, and directly bounced the dagger that was about to hit with his fist.

what is that?

gogogogogogo——

Assassin looked at the little girl, and kept thinking about the white phantom that just flashed past in his mind. Although he didn't know what it was, it definitely wasn't magic in his opinion...

"If it's just the level of attack like throwing a dagger, it won't be able to hurt Sakura at all...it should be closer..."

"......"

Assassin gritted his teeth. He was at a loss for what to do in the current situation, and there was no way to retreat at the moment. It would not be the best policy to attack rashly. It could be said that he was completely in a passive state.

"Hoho~, you're starting to waver...,. Assassin.....what? Are you hesitant to face a little girl who has no power to restrain a chicken? Or, as a heroic spirit, you are starting to be afraid of death It's over..."

Sakura said with a smile on her face.

Obviously that smile was so innocent and cute, but Assassin felt a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart. This fear didn't come from strength, on the contrary, it was more like... from the soul?

He hasn't felt this way for a long time..

"You... are the Master?"

Assassin squinted his eyes under the mask. He suddenly noticed the red mark on the back of Sakura's hand. There was no doubt that it was the symbol of being a participant in the Holy Grail War.

command spell..

If she is the master, then what exactly is her heroic spirit?Judging from the news he got from the masters, the identities of all the masters are already known. Only the master of the caster is not known yet, but there is also a quasi-target, and none of these masters is Little girl, but command spells don't lie.

As a heroic spirit, Assassin can naturally feel a little bit of the magic power of the Command Seal in Sakura's hand. At that time, a very strange idea appeared in his mind...

Could it be that...

"That's right, Sakura is the No.8 Holy Grail War participant..."

As if he had seen through his heart, Sakura said it with a smile.

No.8...

Illegal Heroic Spirit! ?

"No, the Holy Grail chose Sakura to become the No.8 Master..."

Sakura made a booing gesture: "But, Assassin-san will keep it a secret forever for Sakura..."

mind reading...

Assassin woke up suddenly, pulled out the dagger from under the shattered cloak with his left hand, and rushed towards Sakura with extremely fast movement.

As an assassin, he knew very well that if his inner desires were fully known by the other party, it meant that he would not even have any room for maneuver in the end.

A dead end...a dead end in the true sense...

Assassin realized this and didn't hesitate anymore. If the other party really can read minds, then the more he thinks, the more the other party will know, and now there is no way out...

Whoosh whoosh—

The poisonous daggers were thrown from three different directions, and the phantom behind Sakura reappeared and bounced the three daggers away, but this was exactly the effect Assassin wanted.

If that phantom is a heroic spirit, then his attention should be focused on those daggers instead of his master.

With a body like a running shadow, he arrived in front of Sakura almost at the same time that the dagger was bounced off.

Since the opponent has mind reading skills, sneak attack is the worst strategy.

In this case..

Just kill her directly from the front!

sough--

Now Assassin has no escape route at all, he is trapped in the enchantment and cannot escape, he can't think of any other way to get out except for the master using the command spell, but obviously, he knows his identity very well , it is impossible to use the precious command spell on him.

Besides, personally speaking, he doesn't care whether he dies or not. It would be the best if he could kill the little girl, but if he can't kill himself and die first, then the master will definitely find out about the little girl's abnormality This is not lacking and can be regarded as another way to convey information.

No matter what you think...it's not a loss!

However, when the distance between Assassin and Sakura reached nearly two meters, Assassin's face under the mask gradually revealed a confident smile.

This is a certain killing distance for an assassin, and this knife is extremely poisonous, even if it touches the skin, it will die from poisoning, let alone the little girl in front of it.

In the final analysis, although he doesn't know what job the little girl's heroic spirit is, but as a master, he is only a human being. As long as he is a human being, he must be the weakness of all the heroic spirits in the Holy Grail War. All I can do is wait until it disappears due to lack of magic power, even if I have skills such as acting alone, it won't last long..

The dagger stabs out.

Hmph... In the end, she's just a little girl..

it's over!
