Everything Is Going According to Plan / Loli Hassan

"Who exactly are you?!"

On the other side, Hassan of the Arm was also facing an unprecedented predicament. He was being hunted down, but a sense of doubt arose in his mind, and he did not understand what was going on.

"Shuashuashua——!!"

The response to the Hassan of the Arm was a dozen arrows.

That's right. Originally, Hassan of the Arm went out to investigate the enemy's Servant situation, but he didn't expect that he would be targeted by the enemy so soon after he went out.

The opponent's sophisticated attack methods are undoubtedly Archer's!

However, Hassan of the Arm was certain that the other party was definitely not the Archer he knew.

Hassan of the Arm threw out several short swords, knocking down the incoming arrows. However, even so, one arrow still came from a blind spot and hit him directly in the chest.

Fortunately, he had a keen sense of danger; he dodged to the side and caught the arrow with one hand.

"..."

Dozens of figures appeared near Hassan of the Arm. They were men and women of different builds, wearing skull masks and wielding various weapons, and launched an attack on Hassan of the Arm.

Because of their exceptional Presence Concealment their presence (A+), Hassan of the Arm only realized he was surrounded the moment they launched their attack.

"A hundred appearances?!"

After dodging several attacks, Hassan of the Arm immediately moved aside. The Hassan of the Hundred Faces, which had been split into more than a dozen individuals, was still somewhat weak. However, the appearance of the opponent made the already precarious situation of Hassan of the Arm even worse.

"Um... I apologize, Cursed Arm." Hassan of the Hundred Faces didn't say much. After all, this was the Holy Grail War, and 'they' wanted to win. So even if they encountered the previous Hassan, 'they' would not show any mercy.

"Is that so? I understand, this was inevitable." Hassan of the Arm expressed his understanding. He dodged the arrow once again, choosing not to confront Hassan of the Hundred Faces and the mysterious Archer head-on, but instead considering running away.

Although he didn't know what had happened, this situation was definitely not normal, so he decided to return to the inn first and meet up with his Master and that Archer.

"&*￥%#"

A voice filled with gritted teeth rang out, and a girl in a formal dress, wielding a warhammer, rushed out. She gripped her weapon tightly and slammed it down towards Hassan of the Arm!

"Berserker?"

The enemy sent three Servant to surround and kill him. Hassan of the Arm felt a sense of unease. He realized that he had come out alone to gather information, but instead encountered three Servant. Although the information was very good, he still had to get back alive.

"Shuashuashua——!!"

Suddenly, arrows came from different directions. His target was not Hassan of the Arm, but Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Berserker in his dress.

"How is this possible?! Why did they arrive so quickly?" The Hassan of the Hundred Faces dodged the arrows, their faces grim. They hadn't expected that the three of them could launch an attack together in less than three minutes.

Why did the other party react so quickly? Could it be that Hassan of the Arm Master, had been watching him the whole time?

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"

Golden chains surrounded them, launching an attack on Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Berserker, while several spears of light attacked the unknown Archer.

"Yo." Red A appeared next to Hassan of the Arm, holding a bow. He teased, "You haven't been out for long and you've already been targeted by other Servant. Your luck is really bad."

"Thank you." Hassan of the Arm, stood next to Red A. Although he didn't know how his Master knew he was in trouble, he was very glad to be saved.

He was just an ordinary Hassan, with only average strength. Although he managed to escape the attack of the three Servant for a while, if they activated their Noble Phantasm, he would likely die a very tragic death.

"No need to thank me, we're allies." Red A grinned broadly, then looked at the Berserker charging towards him and clicked his tongue in amazement, "Seriously, don't underestimate me just because I'm an archer."

The Berserker, dressed in a formal dress, let out a cryptic roar, gripped her weapon tightly, and slammed it down at Red A Archer!

"Clang--!!"

The bow disappeared, replaced by two black and white swords. Red A smiled confidently and blocked Berserker's attack.

"Huh!?" Berserker seemed utterly bewildered as to why the archer would draw his sword and fight him!

"This is truly eye-opening, but you're not getting away, Hundred-Faced Hassan." Hassan of the Arm saw that Red A was blocking Berserker, and now he also went after Hassan of the Hundred Faces.

As fellow Hassan, their battle was inevitable!

Although Hassan of the Hundred Faces was considering retreating, because his direct combat ability was too weak, and also... when the golden chains appeared, he felt that he had seen this thing somewhere before, and fear rose in his heart.

It is not afraid of the golden chains, but rather of the owner of the golden chains!

He had no memory of the golden chains, but he vaguely felt that he had encountered them on some battlefield.

"Boom--!!"

An explosion rang out, and Mikaela engaged in battle with the mysterious Archer, knocking down all the arrows he fired with his golden spear.

Mikaela did not rush forward at this moment, but planned to stall for time, since Berserker and Assassin were relatively weak on the other side, apart from Archer.

"Can't find that guy." Emiya Kiritsugu, far away, was sniping from the direction the arrows came from, but he couldn't find the enemy's location. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said calmly, "It seems he also knows that he can't stay in one place for too long, so after firing a few arrows, he immediately changed positions."

"Is that so? Then let's just wait it out like this."

Mikaela wasn't surprised; it would have been surprising if the other party had just stood there dumbfounded.

"Are we just going to wait it out like this? I have no objection, but you're not in a very good state right now, so be careful." Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette when he had a moment. Back at the hotel, he was criticized by Irisviel for smoking, so he went to another room to smoke, but was stopped by Hassan of the Arm. Now, no one was stopping him.

"Clear."

Mikaela knew that she was being targeted by the opposing Archer, whose attacks were aimed at her several times. Fortunately, arrows are something that can be predicted.

He could sense each arrow coming his way and then use Judas's golden chains and spear of light to block it.

The situation is at a stalemate.

Chapter 175 Everything is going according to plan

"How is the situation, Chiron?"

A gentle voice echoed in the mind of the man holding the bow and arrow. The man, known as Chiron, stared blankly into the distance, clearly seeing that his Servant were falling behind.

Although Hassan of the Hundred Faces was able to stall for a while thanks to his 'individual' abilities.

But Berserker was already in a losing position, being pressured by her opponent, Archer, one of the Three Knight Classes, who was quite skilled in close combat.

"This is very bad, Master." Chiron fired arrow after arrow, trying to support his Servant, but the enemy also had skilled fighters. Every time he fired an arrow, the enemy would throw spears at him to bombard his side.

Chiron knew perfectly well what the other party's target was; they intended to blow him out of the shadows.

After all, they were both in the shadows, fighting as support units, just like the other side. If either of them appeared in the open, they would lose the 'first move'!

The opponent's golden chains acted like a barrier, blocking the arrows he had shot out.

Similarly, by constantly changing his position, he kept drawing the other party's attention to himself. Once the other party dared to take his attention away from him, Chiron was confident that he could take down Hassan of the Arm!

Deadlock!

But Chiron knew that if things continued like that, his two Servant would be defeated by the enemy first, and at that point, it wouldn't matter whether he provided support or not.

"The situation is bad, should we retreat?" On the other side, the girl in the wheelchair looked at the two people on the throne.

Darnic and Vlad III were watching Chiron and the others fight through Magecraft. A look of seriousness flashed in their eyes. Although this was just a probing attack, the fighting power displayed by the opponent was already terrifying.

"Your Majesty." Darnic looked at Vlad III as if he were in charge of everything.

"Although the Holy Grail's emergency mechanism has resummoned the six Servants, the Servant summoned earlier were already very powerful. If this continues, unexpected situations may arise." Vlad III looked at Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Berserker, who were gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, and a strange emotion flashed in his eyes. He said calmly, "Let them come back first. Let's focus on dealing with Caster."

"Currently, the Berserker and Rider of the opposing side are missing, Assassin and Archer are united, and the last one is Caster alone with his Master."

Above the Magecraft screen, Bazett walked alongside a hooded man holding a staff, the two seemingly chatting and laughing, engaged in a heated discussion.

However, the hooded man quickly raised his head, seemingly noticing the prying eyes, and gave a fearless smile. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he drew a rune representing 'fire,' destroying the device used for surveillance.

Clearly, they were alone, without any other Servant to support them; it was simply Servant and Master combination.

"However... I find it very strange." Vlad III placed his hand on the throne, tapping it slowly, and said in a very cold tone, "Who exactly is that guy who released the chains? Is he Servant? Or Master?"

"It should be the Master, using large-scale Magecraft to achieve attack methods similar to Servant, which is not surprising." Darnic felt that it was impossible for any Servant to appear, since they had already summoned all the ones they could.

Although the materials used were of lower quality, some Servants were even summoned based on compatibility. For Servant, the weak assassin Hassan of the Hundred Faces was summoned based on compatibility.

But none of that matters. What matters is that I can definitely win this time! As long as I kill the other Servant and Master who came from the Clock Tower, then victory in this Holy Grail War will belong to me!

At the same time, the Holy Grail will not be taken away by anyone else!

Their family has enough power to provide these Servant with magical energy, giving them worldly power to protect the Holy Grail and prevent those guys from the Clock Tower from ruining their plans.

Once the Holy Grail's magic is fully stored, Darnic will try to go inside the Holy Grail and make his wish.

"It's not surprising, but... this is Noble Phantasm." Vlad III watched as Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Frankenstein, and Chiron gave their orders to retreat. The owner of the golden chains slowly retrieved them, seemingly not intending to pursue them further.

"Noble Phantasm?"

Darnic raised an eyebrow slightly, but quickly calmed down and said, "Using Noble Phantasm with a human body obviously requires a lot of magic power. Unless the opponent has Mana Furnace or other things that can greatly increase their magic power, they won't be able to last long."

"Some Noble Phantasm do not require magic."

At this moment, a masked man in a mage's robe stepped forward and said in a very calm tone, "From what I've observed, the Noble Phantasm that controls the golden chains is probably an automatic Noble Phantasm. It doesn't consume much magic power. As long as a general command is given, the golden chains will actively attack the enemy. However, the golden spears will probably require manual operation."

"Do you have a core that meets the requirements? Avicebron." Darnic didn't care about so-called automatic Noble Phantasm. After all, the strongest Noble Phantasm are activated by the Servant himself. What can a mere Noble Phantasm change?

"I've found a suitable android," Avicebron said in a silent tone. "However, it will take some time before my Noble Phantasm can be created, and you also lack some materials."

"You can make a list of the items you need. As for other valuables, don't worry, just take them and use them." Darnic seemed very generous; he didn't care about the so-called financial expenditure, as he had already collected countless such items.

When he learned about the 'Holy Grail War', he had already reserved two Servant: Avicebron and Vlad III.

The former requires golems to resell for money and to be used in large-scale wars!

The latter requires him to have the important responsibility of being able to fight against thousands and protect the territory.

Originally, Darnic wanted to summon a powerful Servant, but due to the tight schedule and Matou Zouken's influence, the Holy Grail War started ahead of schedule.

He didn't have time to summon Servant, so he could only summon Vlad III first, and then use the Holy Grail Wars mechanism to summon six more Servants.

This time, Darnic successfully summoned the Servant he wanted— Avicebron.

"Understood." Avicebron was quite satisfied with such a straightforward person. He had no desire to give up the Holy Grail. As long as he made his Noble Phantasm, he didn't care who won.

"Let's stall for time. After this attack, they'll probably stop their advance and start seeking help from other Servant. But even if they unite, it won't make a difference," Darnic said with a smile.

He didn't think those Servant posed much of a threat to him.

The only ones who seem to pose a threat are the 'horse' who calls himself Lu Bu, the Archer whose identity is unknown, Bazett Fraga Macremis who has Servant combat power, and Caster—Cú Chulainn.

However, they won't live much longer. Valkyrie, Chiron, Medusa, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Frankenstein, and five other riders will go to surround and kill them. So what if they have the power of Servant? Once she dies, her Servant will naturally disappear from this world.

With the most threatening guy dead, I can finally relax.

Chapter 176 Loli Hassan

"Retreat?"

Watching Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Frankenstein fight and retreat, Mikaela frowned slightly. He was considering keeping them there to gather information about them.

Berserker's appearance is not surprising, but what's the deal with Assassin and Archer?

Hassan of the Hundred Faces remained in the mortal world like me? That's unlikely, considering Irisviel said that all the Servant except him had already left the stage. Since Irisviel said that...

Therefore, she can definitely ensure that all six Servant completely leave the stage.

Putting aside Assassin, what about Archer? Red A was summoned as an Archer, not as a World Guardian.

"What should we do?" Emiya Kiritsugu also noticed the Servant's intention to retreat. He clearly did not want to let these three Servant go. He also knew that the situation had become very strange, so it was necessary to capture one of the Servant to gather information.

"Take down one of the Hundred Faces' clones."

Mikaela did not suggest leaving all three of them behind, but instead focused her attention on the clone of Hassan of the Hundred Faces.

"Understood." Emiya Kiritsugu put down the walkie-talkie. Soon, a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart, and without saying a word, he immediately used 'Time Alter' at five times speed!

Within Emiya Kiritsugu lies Avalon. On his journey here, Mikaela had already infused his Noble Phantasm with Artoria's magic.

Even if Emiya Kiritsugu suffer a fatal wound, he would not die under the protection of the Avalon.

With his Avalon as his guide, Emiya Kiritsugu unleashed Magecraft beyond his limits: 'Time Alter' five times faster!

In that instant, Emiya Kiritsugu saw it: seven arrows were hurtling towards him. Clearly... Archer on the other side had spotted him!

"Bang—!!"

Clearly, Archer was intent on killing Emiya Kiritsugu. The arrow exploded violently as soon as it hit the ground; it was an arrow imbued with magical energy!

"Kiritsugu!" Red A panicked. He wanted to abandon his opponent immediately and go protect Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Take down Assassin's clone."
