Assassin blurred across the earthy terrain, dodging Kunais.
Behind him, using Shunpo, Mayuri chased the Heroic Spirit, grinning ear to ear.
With every use of Flash Step, the Captain was closing the gap between them, brandishing his poisoned sword.
Suddenly, a click rang out under Assassin’s feet. Oh, shit...
An explosion rocked through the surroundings, becoming a ball of smoke.
From the blackness, Assassin’s figure ca shooting out, his eyes already shifting to find the enemy.
The attack ca from his blind spot.
Wielding his dagger in one hand and a gun in the other, Assassin spun fast to confront the sword. However, the Captain of the 12th Division had his palm facing toward the Servant, not his sword.
Assassin’s pupils dilated.
Hado No. 33 —
From Mayuri’s palm, a storm of blue fire ca crashing down and annihilated everything in Assassin’s direction, scorching the ground.
— Sokatsui!
By the ti the flickers of blue fire died, nothing was left of Assassin.
Mayuri had just grinned at the outco when a click resounded behind his hand.
But even Flash Steps had its limit, and the Book’s Character was nowhere as fast as Assassin in this tiline.
A BANG resounded as the bullet left the gun in Assassin’s hand.
Mayuri’s hand flicked, and the sword went for the bullet.
However, the bullet phased right through the sword.
With a squelch, the bullet entered Mayuri’s head and ca out from behind, spraying swaths of blood.
In the next mont, Mayuri’s figure blurred, and he disappeared.
Assassin panted, his Mana reserves running short.
His hood had co off, revealing his white hair. The bandages on his face had loosened, revealing the burned skin, too. His eyes held tiredness and confusion, not joy of victory.
Because sohow Assassin knew that those Kunais that had been coming at him, and that explosive trap, hadn’t been this swordsman doing at all.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
The sound echoed out from sowhere.
In the next mont, a mass of white smoke covered the scorched ground in front of Assassin.
Hissssssssssss!
It was a massive, purple-skinned snake, towering like a mountain over Assassin.
In one great slither, the snake crossed the distance between it and the Heroic Spirit and lunged forward, baring its fangs.
Assassin let out a tired grunt and blurred, barely dodging the attack. Simultaneously, he fired the gun again.
The larger the enemy, the easier the target.
However, the unthinkable finally happened, making Assassin’s eyes go wide.
He could clearly tell that the snake was shot — right on its head — but it didn’t disappear at all. Forget disappearing; it ignored the attack altogether and attacked him, instead.
The snake’s massive tail ca swishing across the space and struck Assassin, sending him flying with a BOOM.
As the Servant rolled on the ground, bouncing and coughing blood, he finally realized it.
This was no re Bounded Field to trap enemies.
This was a Bounded Field to trap him — to test his abilities!
Unknowingly, but willingly, Assassin had walked right into Caster’s hands, becoming an experint.
Squelch!
Assassin looked down and found a Kunai embedded in his waist, blood seeping out from the wound. Brokenly, he looked over his shoulder and found the enemy he had been wary of all this ti.
It was a white-skinned man, grinning at him with a long, snake-like tongue slithering out of his mouth.
"Assassinating an Assassin..." Orochimaru laughed in blatant mockery. "Now that’s amusing..."
Assassin’s hand flashed.
The dagger, crackling with red-black lightning, traced a rumbling trail.
Orochimaru let go of the Kunai as he folded his back backward, dodging the attack.
But Assassin’s foot landed right on his stomach and sent him flying hundreds of ters, Orochimaru skidding and bouncing just like the Heroic Spirit a few monts before.
Assassin faced the giant snake, then, changing his grip on the dagger.
Out of nowhere, a sizzling and crackling noise entered his ears. He looked down and found a paper burning like a firecracker, attached to the end of the Kunai.
And, for the second ti, Assassin cursed. Oh, shit...
Boooooooooom!
...
Hundreds of thousands of insects buzzed and clicked as they sward in the sky over the Einzbern Castle.
In the next mont, they gathered at one place, taking the shape of Evil Betty Shaw, who wasn’t smiling anymore.
Wrath and Confusion danced on his face as he stood in the sky, donning his black suit and pants, the Video Cara still propped on his right shoulder.
He’d thought he wouldn’t need to go against a fellow Chaos Contestant.
Even though Evil Betty Shaw hadn’t beco a Contestant, by the end of the Holy Grail War, he was bound to beco one as per his plans.
That’s why he had gone to Kirei Kotomine, hoping to get an edge by exchanging information on Berserker.
In this world, only a Contestant like him knew Berserker’s real identity — Venom!
But this little info wouldn’t bring Berserker down, he knew.
Also, it wasn’t like Kirei would tell Berserker’s Master that he had revealed Venom’s weakness to him.
So, Evil Betty Shaw found the act of Berserker attacking him equivalent to mocking him.
"... Watch this Castle, dear audience," he said, a mad grin shaping itself on his face. "Under the invisible layers of Bounded Fields, a man is hiding. The sa man who had brought in existence. But now... I think, like all foolish scientists, he is afraid of his own creation... Kekeke...
"He attacked ... Instead of helping against my stupid self... He attacked ! Shouldn’t he face the consequences of such a daring act? Shouldn’t I show him the sa courtesy as he showed ?!
"Right? Right?!! Oh, thank you, dear audience. Thank you for agreeing with ! Now, let entertain you... As of this mont, let announce my entry in this Great Holy Grail War... Kekeke..."
The sky burned blue, black, and white over the Einzbern Castle.
The screech of insects and tal overwheld the surroundings.
With a blinding display of unstoppable power, a magnificent drill descended and tore through everything in its path —
— obliterating the Bounded Fields and half the Einzbern Castle!
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
