I'm really not a top magician

The deserted atrium was gradually surrounded by this strange group.

Assassin!

Sajo Aika and the others weren't the only ones who knew they were still alive. Saber and Irisviel also learned this during their conversation with Kiritsugu in the warehouse district.

The Assassin who was killed in the Tōsaka residence was not the only one. In fact, there were multiple Assassins participating in this Holy Grail War, but this number was abnormally large.

They all wore masks and black robes, and their physiques varied: some were huge, some were thin, some were short and childlike, and some were the shape of women.

"You did this, didn't you, Archer?" Saber asked angrily.

Archer shrugged innocently, "Who knows? I don't have to understand what those bastards are thinking."

Since so many Assassins were mobilized, it must not be the order of Kotomine Kirei alone. This must have been the intention of his teacher Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Because Tokiomi fulfilled his duties as a subject to the King of Heroes, Archer accepted him as his Master. However, Tokiomi's behavior made Archer very dissatisfied.

Although this banquet was initiated by Sajo Aika, the wine was provided by Archer. What exactly did Tokiomi intend to do by sending out assassins at such a banquet?

Is this tantamount to smearing the Hero King's face?

Does he know this?

"Well, it's a mess."

Seeing the enemy gradually approaching, Waver let out a sigh that bordered on a scream. He couldn't understand it; this completely exceeded the rules of the Holy Grail War. "What's going on?! Why are Assassins coming one after another? Isn't there only one Servant of each class?!"

Seeing their prey's miserable state, the Assassins couldn't help but smirk and said, "You are right. We are Servants who are individuals of the whole, and the individuals are merely shadows of the whole."

Waver and Irisviel were both unable to comprehend how the Assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei could be such a unique being.

Among the people who have inherited the terrible name of Hassan Sabha through the generations, only one has the ability to change his body.

Unlike other Hassans, he did not make any changes to his body. Perhaps it was because there was no need, because although his talents were mediocre, his spirit could freely transform his body.

He can have excellent strategies, know foreign languages, identify poisons, or set traps. In short, he is a versatile assassin who can automatically switch abilities according to mission needs. It is said that sometimes he can exert strange strength and agility that his original body could not possess, and use phantom martial arts that have long been forgotten.

He can disguise himself as any man, woman, old or young and stand beside you very naturally. Sometimes he can even change his personality according to the situation so that no one can reveal his true identity.

But no one knows the truth.

Although Hassan has a single body, he has different souls.

At the time, there was no such thing as multiple personality disorder. Modern medicine defines it as a mental illness. But for the assassin, Hassan Sabbha, it was a mysterious ability. He could utilize a variety of knowledge and techniques through the inhabitants within his body, using various means to confuse his enemies, weave a defensive web, and kill his targets in unpredictable ways.

The Assassin summoned by Kotomine Kirei this time is the assassin known as the ever-changing assassin.

P.S.: I attended the school's job fair this morning and have to celebrate my mom's birthday tonight, so I'll update one chapter today. If there's anything missing, I'll make up for it tomorrow.

About the song of love in Shatiao

I'm still outside, so I just sent it on my phone on a whim.

I mainly want to talk about the character design of Aika Sajo.

I didn’t actually make detailed character cards for this book.

Lorelai and Luna each get one. Sajo Aika (the main character) counts as half.

Why half?

In fact, readers who have read carefully from the beginning to the present should understand that the protagonist's position has changed.

From the funny and humorous protagonist at the beginning, he has become what he is now.

In fact, the protagonist's position has been changing, but there is one thing that remains unchanged, that is her wish (Chapter 88 has made it very clear)

As a time traveler, she clearly wants to experience this world, but her limited strength forces her to hide (this is also the topic of Volumes 1 and 2). However, her inner passion is uncontrollable, and with the opportunity provided by the Demon Pillar, the protagonist finally faces her inner heart and participates in the Holy Grail War.

This is also why the protagonist said in 88 that she came for victory and to fight.

Chapter 233: When the protagonist expressed his wish, it was also the happiest moment for me in the King’s Banquet. Because it was one of the few times when she and the others could truly see the protagonist’s heart.

That's probably it.

Chapter 234 Assassin Attacks

An assassin is a Servant who possesses one body but countless souls.

Fundamentally speaking, they are originally different souls. Because they are no longer bound by the flesh, they can manifest into different forms after appearing in the world.

Of course, their combined spiritual power is only that of one person, and their abilities after splitting up are certainly not comparable to those of other Heroic Spirits. However, because they possess Assassin's unique skills, this group is practically invincible in scouting activities.

"Could it be that we have been under surveillance by these guys until today?"

Irisviel murmured in pain, and Saber couldn't help but shudder.

Although they were not strong enough, they were able to sneak up on her and were numerous. Even though she was the strongest Servant, they were still a considerable threat.

Moreover, they who usually followed their targets like shadows now abandoned their breath-cutting abilities and watched them approach without fear. This meant

——They are going to get serious.

Saber fell into an unexpected crisis and couldn't help but grit her teeth with hatred.

A ragtag group that relies on strength in numbers. If attacked from the front, Saber will never lose, but this is only when Saber is the only one facing the enemy.

Saber now has to protect Irisviel.

No matter how weak Assassin is, he poses a considerable threat to humans. Even Irisviel, the Einzbern android who can use first-class magic, cannot stop Assassin with magic alone.

It was impossible for her to protect herself on her own.

Therefore, if you want to protect your companions while fighting, the large number of enemies becomes a very urgent problem.

Just how many Assassins could Saber stop with one strike? No, it wasn't a question of how many people she could stop. Even if she missed one person at this moment, that one person could cause serious damage to Irisviel.

Therefore, the question now was not whether they could stop them, but whether they could finish them all with a single blow. The number of Assassins surrounding them was so great that it was despairing.

From Assassin's perspective, they also have a last resort.

Even if it is a group battle, it is a group composed of a limited number of people.

The tactic of winning by sacrificing the majority in exchange for a small number of survivors is tantamount to suicide, so this is a killer move that will only be used in the final battle.

Assassins were Servants summoned for the Holy Grail. They should not be able to tolerate being used as pawns of Tokiomi and Archer, but they could not disobey the Command Spells either.

For tonight's operation, Kotomine Kirei used a Command Spell, ordering them to win at all costs. The Command Spell was an absolute command to the Servants, so they had no choice but to obey.

Although they were happy to see Saber, who was hailed as the strongest, change her expression drastically, the truth was that she was not their target.

The designated targets of attack were Rider's Master and Sajo Aika.

The former's rider possessed a powerful Noble Phantasm, but its destructive power was indeed directional. If the assassin attacked from all sides, it would definitely be able to hit the cowardly short Master.

On the other hand, Aika Sajou, as the biggest opponent in this Holy Grail War, is making a desperate bet this time with a try-it-out attitude. While testing Aika Sajou's strength, she also wants to see what the opponent's abilities are.

but,

In the face of this crisis, Sajo Aika was still drinking leisurely.

Even Gudako and Mashu, who she brought with her, looked as if they had known about this for a long time.

"Sha, Sha Tiao! Hey, stop drinking, the enemy is coming."

Despite Waver's nagging, Sajo Aika continued to drink. Archer's wine was truly excellent. She glanced up at the attacking Assassins, her gaze remaining unperturbed.

"Weber, don't panic. It's just that there are guests at the party. We still have to drink." Said Aika Satiao.

"How do they look like guests!?" Waver said anxiously, turning to look at Rider and asking his servant for help.

However, Weber saw that Rider did not make any movement, but just looked at Aika Sajyo. Not only Rider, but even Archer looked at Aika Sajyo herself.

Only then did Weber understand what the three kings meant. This banquet was hosted by Aigo Shajo, and since the enemy had arrived, it should be Aigo Shajo who should deal with it.

However, Weber looked at the increasing number of assassins, and even though he held the cloak behind Rider tightly with both hands, he was still very panicked.

Seeing such a noisy Weber, Aika Sajo shook her head. The current Weber was still too young and did not have the stability of the future El-Melloi II.

Sajo Aika sighed with a wry smile, then faced the assassins surrounding her with a very calm expression.

"Hey everyone, can you please restrain your murderous intent? My friend is scared by you."

Saber thought she had heard wrongly, but now even Archer frowned.

"Do you still want to invite them to the table? Sajo Aika!" Archer asked.

"It's okay. Since you're here, let's have a drink first. Everyone who comes is a guest." Said Aika Sajo.

Then fill your own glass with wine and place it in front of you.

"If you want to join the cocktail party, come up and get a glass."

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, answering Sha Tiao Aige.

The golden cup in front of Aika Satiao has been completely broken. In the myth, countless countries went to war to get this cup. But at this moment,

The golden cup that started the war was smashed by the assassin, and the wine inside was scattered on the ground.

Aika Sajo chuckled and looked down at the wine scattered on the ground. The skull masks seemed to be laughing at him.

Aika Sajo had not originally intended to welcome these people, but for the sake of the host's face, she still welcomed them. However, the development of the matter was still the same as in the original book.

"Assassin, huh? So...are all your people here?"

Sajo Aika's tone remained calm, but the feeling within it had changed. Only the other three kings who had been drinking with her noticed this change.

That feeling is from the heart, a self-confidence that is almost arrogant.

"what?"

One of the assassins said that they obviously didn't understand what Sajo Aika meant.

"If you haven't all arrived yet, I can wait a little longer. After all, you are very weak!" Said Aika Satiao arrogantly.

What responded to Sajo Aika was the assassins' attack like a human sea.

Saber immediately stood up and protected Irisviel. Waver grabbed Rider's cloak tightly. Mash produced a large shield and prepared to fight.

Everyone turned their eyes to the attacking assassin, except Gilgamesh, who noticed that Aika Satsuki once again had an expression of absolute confidence on her face.

"Looks like everyone is here, huh? Then..."

Seeing the assassins coming to attack, Aika Sajo took out a sword emitting golden light at some point. Saber immediately recognized that this was the holy sword she once owned!

"Ex—calibur!"

Liberate the Noble Phantasm,

Countless golden light bands waved out!

ps: This is to make up for yesterday's update, today's will be updated later

Chapter 235: Shajo Aige's Trap

With the release of Sajo Aika's Noble Phantasm,

With a wave of his hand,

A streak of light streaked across the sky, cutting a hole through the crowd of assassins.

but,

Although Sajo Aika's attacks looked powerful, these assassins, relying on sheer numbers, were completely powerless against the city's Noble Phantasms.

However, under the influence of the Command Spell, this group of assassins completely ignored Sajo Aika's attack and continued to charge towards their own side.

"No, even though Sajo Aika's Noble Phantasm looks powerful, there are too many people on the opposite side."

Seeing the crowd of assassins, Weber felt even more frightened and subconsciously moved closer to Rider's cloak.

But this time, it was Rider who showed a calm and composed look. When he saw the confident look on Sajo Aika's face, Rider knew that these assassins were doomed.

So there's nothing surprising about that.

Looking at the assassin charging forward, Sajo Aika also sighed

"Oh, so it's the Special Attack Force? I know you were forced to launch such suicide attacks because of the Command Seals, but you're still very weak!"

Responding to the assassins' charge,

But it was Sajo Aika's attack,

She held the sword in one hand and swung it lightly, and a beam of light passed through the air, directly swallowing up an assassin.

boom!
