Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

"Yes!"

Kirei Kotomine nodded solemnly, completely ignoring Sora and the other person, and walked towards the distance outside the gate.

Sora hadn't expected to actually pull the bait. She glanced at the old priest with a slightly strange look, then looked away and followed Kirei Kotomine with Mordred.

After walking a few hundred meters, the two sides stopped in a grove of trees.

"This is about right. Although I'd like to go further, I doubt you'd agree."

Kirei Kotomine turned to face Sora and the other man. Dark shadows surged around him, and one Hassan after another appeared around him, numbering more than sixty, surrounding the two men opposite him.

"What?! So many?!"

Sora was startled and suddenly began to doubt whether all the decisions she had made today were wrong.

However, she was quick and took out a test tube filled with mercury.

This was something she had taken from Kenneth; it was Kenneth's favorite and his strongest piece of clothing, Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.

She poured the mercury from the test tube onto the ground. Through the magical connection, the mercury instantly came to life, dynamically changing shape and surrounding Sora.

Mordred instantly donned his armor, wielding a greatsword, and warily surveyed the Hassans around him, shielding Sora behind him.

"To be honest, I never expected to show myself like this. I was a little nervous when you approached the church, but since you've been discovered, there's nothing I can do. You'd better die here. Go! Assassin!"

At Kirei Kotomine's command, the Hassans sprang into action, their coordinated attacks surrounding Sora and Mordred.

Chapter 69 Hassan's Departure, Kirei's Escape!

Seeing Hassan attacking from all directions, Sora made a quick decision and had the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid completely envelop him.

"Don't worry about me, Dred! Go and fight!"

"Beat!"

A savage, bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared on the rebellious knight's face. Then, she covered her head with her helmet, completely enveloping herself in armor, and charged into the crowd.

A thrust to the left, a slash to the right, a collision in front, and a dodge behind.

He tumbled and weaved through the crowd, dodging and weaving, managing to take on more than a dozen people at once and even gain the upper hand, occasionally taking one down with him.

His fighting prowess is so ferocious that he is completely different from when he fought the Lion King.

Of course, this is also because the attributes of the Hundred-Faced Hassan are generally low.

Aside from having an advantage in agility, Mordred completely outclasses Mordred in all other attributes.

However, this agility advantage is of little use against Mordred's powerful combat intuition.

Mordred could keenly perceive the movements of the various Hassans and subconsciously make some accurate predictions.

Sora, hiding inside a sphere of moon spirit fluid, was surrounded and circled by Hassan and his men, but none of them made a move.

Sora lost sight of Mordred and was afraid that making a rash move would interfere with him.

It wasn't that the Hassans didn't want to fight, but rather that the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid's defensive capabilities were too strong; their daggers simply couldn't pierce it.

Moreover, once it is touched, it will automatically retaliate, and when attacked, it will instantly spew out spikes, blades, whips, and other attacks.

It even has a random direction, so you have no idea where you'll be attacked from the next second after you attack it. It's practically a hedgehog.

If the Hassans hadn't been so agile and quick to dodge, several might have been lost before even figuring out the mechanics.

"Leave a few to continue the attack; her magic power has its limits. The others should hold Saber off." Kirei Kotomine, seeing this, issued a new order.

Upon hearing this, the Hassans no longer hesitated. Several individuals began to attack continuously, then dodge and counterattack, in order to deplete Sora's magic power inside, while the rest went to support Mordred.

"Huh? You think you can hold me off with this? Don't underestimate me! Drink!"

Mordred naturally heard Kirei Kotomine's words as well. He shouted loudly, and crimson lightning surged from his body, instantly multiplying his attributes several times over.

[Magic Unleashed (Lightning)] Activated!

Then, Mordred immediately switched to mowing-down mode, taking down enemies one by one with a single sword strike.

In the ensuing head-on clash, Mordred quickly cleared out Hassan and his men, including the few Moon Spirit Essence users surrounding them.

"Has everything been resolved?"

Sora opened a small hole in the Moon Spirit Essence Fluid, cautiously peered outside, and asked Mordred a question.

She knew that Assassins had the ability to conceal their presence, and she was afraid that one of the Hassans had fooled Mordred and was hiding around, ready to ambush her, the Master, at any moment.

"You're being cautious, but you don't need to be so wary. Hassan's men are all dead."

Kirei Kotomine walked up calmly, looking as if he had given up resisting.

"No! The quantity is wrong, there's one missing."

Mordred raised an eyebrow and immediately retorted.

Then she suddenly rushed towards Kirei Kotomine and pierced his chest with her sword.

"Isn't this the right way? Honestly, to actually make me face Saber head-on, this Master is really willful."

With his chest pierced, Kirei Kotomine uttered a woman's voice, and his form transformed into a female Hassan.

"Tsk~ Did you let him escape?" Dred curled his lip in displeasure and threw Hassan to the ground.

I also realized that the real Kirei Kotomine had actually switched places with Hassan's disguised Stand and run away after the battle began.

"Our lord's intention was never to be here. He will hand over the remaining Command Seals to his allies, and thus... withdraw from the Holy Grail War."

Hassan, lying on the ground, spoke intermittently but faithfully relayed Master's final words before turning into light and disappearing.

Yes, from the moment they met, Kirei Kotomine never intended to fight Sora; instead, he planned to withdraw from the fight.

Although he had enjoyed his time with Hassan (the one with excellent cooking skills) and was somewhat reluctant to part with him, he had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't had time for his own things.

Besides, since Hassan was going to be sent back to the Throne of Heroes anyway, it was better to let him die a dignified death in battle than to have Hassan commit suicide later. So he got off the train and went back to continue his research on 'pleasure'.

This was Kirei Kotomine's plan.

That's why he apologized to his father in advance, since it somewhat went against his father's wishes for him to help Tokiomi Tohsaka.

However, he felt that his father seemed to have misunderstood. The way his father looked at him when he left earlier gave him the feeling of an old father seeing his son off to war.

However, he decided not to explain, letting the misunderstanding continue, lest his father take the opportunity to punish him and forbid him from using the kitchen.

With that thought in mind, Kirei Kotomine had already arrived at the Tohsaka residence.

He reported that Hassan the Hundred-Faced One had been killed in battle, and then gave all the unused three-stroke Command Seals to Tokiomi Tohsaka. He then went home feeling relieved and at ease.

Marx and Engels learned of this the next morning.

"Hassan left? Kirei did that on purpose, didn't he? He clearly had many ways to escape."

Maren immediately sensed that something was amiss and strongly suspected that Kirei Kotomine was doing it on purpose.

Otherwise, with so many Hassan clones, no matter how reckless they were, they couldn't possibly wipe them all out in one go.

This time, Kirei Kotomine has made a runaway.

Well, in a double sense.

"Well, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The situation is clear enough now. If Kirei wants to back out, then let him be," Saka Tokiomi said indifferently.

Actually, he felt the same way last night. With so many clones and being proficient in all arts, Hyakume had many ways to help Kirei Kotomine escape.

And as long as the enemy doesn't trap all of its individuals, and as long as one of its clones survives, then Bai Mao will basically not perish.

···

Mordred obviously didn't have such methods, so it's not hard to guess that Kirei Kotomine deliberately sent Hassan and his group to their deaths.

"Tsk, my junior brother is really willful. I don't remember ever teaching him how to be cunning."

Maren muttered a speechless complaint and then said no more.

As Tokiomi Tohsaka said, Kirei Kotomine's departure doesn't really have any impact.

Rather, it was a relief for him.

Even after guiding Kirei Kotomine, Maru was still wary of him suddenly betraying them and stabbing them in the back.

However, in a sense, this is indeed a backstab.

You've made it to the final rounds in PUBG, and your teammate suddenly goes offline. Is that a betrayal?

Of course!

At the same time, I'm also a little relieved that Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine met last night and were able to get away with it.

That was actually a good time to betray them.

If Kirei Kotomine had such thoughts, he could have killed Tokiomi Tohsaka, seized his Command Seals, and gained a new Servant, and things would have returned to their original course.

0 ..

However, it seems that Kirei Kotomine was present at the time, so he suddenly had a brain fart and couldn't backstab her.

Since Niang Shanshan's current interest is with Mar and En, it's unlikely she'll suddenly change her mind and go along with Kirei Kotomine.

Thinking this, Ma En looked at his mother, Gilgamesh, who was arguing with Nero about food again.

Then, she was immediately rebuked by her mother, Shan Shan, who was in a fit of righteous indignation.

"What? You're planning to return my things?"

Ma En quickly lowered his head and ate, but still helplessly reminded them, "We have guests here, you should tone it down a bit."

"No, it's alright, you don't need to worry about me."

While watching the two Heroic Spirits' dramatic performance with great interest, Aozaki Touko leisurely ate her breakfast. She quickly waved her hand, indicating that Nero and Gilgamesh could continue.

Nero and Gilgamesh only then noticed this 'new audience member'.

"Tch, what are you looking at! I'll gouge your eyes out, Xiu!"

As expected of someone from the Shiny series, Niang Shanshan immediately confronted her.

Nero didn't care; in fact, she enjoyed being the center of attention, just as her strong desire for self-expression made her enjoy performing on stage and giving concerts.

"There's a flaw, a great opportunity!"

Nero suddenly attacked, taking advantage of the fact that Gilgamesh's attention was drawn to Aozaki Touko, and quickly snatched the food in front of her.

"You bastard! Daring to jump the gun!"
