Fear of Hassan / Afraid to Come Out
Emiya Kiritsugu's voice echoed in Red A's mind. He said calmly, "I am not injured. Saber will deal with Archer on the other side."
"Snort!"
Sure enough, Mikaela snorted coldly. In order to avoid unnecessary consumption of magic power, he did not go all out against Archer. It seemed that the other party was pushing his luck!
"Shuashuashua——!!!"
Thirteen spears of light launched an attack from different angles at Archer's location. This time, the explosions were different from the previous ones; they were a true carpet bombing.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
A violent explosion rang out, and all the trees collapsed. The wild animals living in the forest fled in panic, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
The birds flew high into the sky, intending to find a new place to roost.
"... Did I anger him?" Chiron revealed a strange smile. He had noticed Emiya Kiritsugu long ago, not because the other party was too conspicuous, but because he had 'Clairvoyance' and could see the short-term future.
It's good that the opponent is hiding, but for him to appear on the battlefield and calmly observe his movements is a bad move in itself.
"Boom—!" A golden spear landed and exploded next to Chiron, and he used the explosion to jump up, deliberately drawing enemy fire.
He hadn't shown himself before, only to better attack others, but now that he was retreating, there was no need for him to continue hiding.
"Whoosh whoosh-!!"
The instant Chiron leaped into the air, Red A kicked Frankenstein away, his twin swords vanished, replaced by a black longbow, and he fired several arrows at Chiron.
Although Red A has experienced many battles and is a very qualified warrior, he absolutely cannot tolerate his 'father' being hurt by others!
"Let me teach you a lesson!"
Mikaela waved his arms, realizing the enemy was preparing to retreat, so before they left, he was going to teach them a small lesson!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!" The golden chains, manipulated by hand, moved twice as fast as before!
The golden chains moved with incredible speed, encircling Chiron. Mikaela's goal wasn't to capture him, because he knew... he couldn't possibly catch him. So he wanted to injure him!
Several golden spears flew out, attacking Chiron from different directions.
"Clang clang clang!!" In mid-air, Chiron fired several arrows, knocking Red A down. Looking at the golden chains that appeared beside him, he said helplessly, "Is the aggro too high?"
"Bang—!!"
An explosion rang out, Chiron was covered in black smoke. Although he looked disheveled, he was not seriously injured. This time, he did not retaliate but decisively left.
"Mission accomplished."
At this moment, the Hassan of the Arm also grabbed a masked Hassan of the Hundred Faces. However, the dozen or so Hassan did not attempt to rescue 'this Hassan '. Instead, they decisively entered spirit form and rushed in all directions.
After being kicked away by Red A, Frankenstein was furious, but she still obeyed her Master's orders and decisively fled.
In just half a minute, the forest, which had been engulfed in fierce fighting, fell silent in an instant.
Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Red A quickly transformed into his spirit form and came to Emiya Kiritsugu's side. He noticed that his father had some bloodstains on him, but he was not seriously injured.
'Phew.' Red A breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a sense of pride. What? As expected of my dad. He actually survived the enemy Archer's attack without being seriously injured, only suffering minor injuries.
"Let's go to Saber's side." Although Emiya Kiritsugu knew Mikaela's real name, he still habitually called her Saber, unlike Irisviel who called her "Aila-chan" all the time.
"Hmm." Red A nodded, reached out and took the sniper rifle from Emiya Kiritsugu's hand, and smiled, "Then I'll take this sniper rifle."
"Ah..." Emiya Kiritsugu seemed a little surprised. He looked at Red A's gentle smile, and most of his dissatisfaction with this Servant dissipated. After this battle, he could also feel it.
Although he doesn't like to reveal his real name, there's no doubt that he's a qualified Servant.
"Let's go."
Emiya Kiritsugu stubbed out his cigarette and walked towards Mikaela.
Although the two were some distance apart, it wasn't particularly far, and Emiya Kiritsugu and Red A quickly arrived at Mikaela's location.
At this moment, Hassan of the Arm had already placed the clone of Hassan of the Hundred Faces on the ground.
"..." Mikaela did not speak, he just stared quietly at the Hassan of the Hundred Faces clone on the ground.
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the little girl sitting on the ground, dressed in pure white, and said with some surprise, "Is this the Hassan of the Hundred Faces?"
"No, it should be said that it was Hassan who kept the secret."
Although Hassan of the Arm didn't know much about his junior's Noble Phantasm, he was still a battle-hardened Hassan and naturally realized that his junior had a secret-keeping personality.
The little girl in the white dress had eyes as still as dead water, completely devoid of any emotion.
Chapter 177 The Fear from Hassan
Loli Hassan.
Or rather, this is a secretive type of Hassan. After being captured by the Hassan of the Arm, she remained motionless, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.
She wasn't like this before; she was a woman wielding a knife, and her methods were extremely cruel! She specifically targeted the lower body with attacks, and although her attacks were weak, each one forced Hassan of the Arm to be on guard.
Perhaps for this reason, when Mikaela gave the order to capture one of the Hundred Faces clones, Hassan of the Arm chose her.
As soon as they caught their opponent, her appearance immediately changed, turning her into a little girl with no fighting ability.
After her form changed, Hassan of the Arm knew... that this form was the personality she used to avoid revealing her side's secrets if she were captured.
In this form, she has no memory of Hassan, cannot speak, and will not initiate any communication with others.
In other words, there is no solution!
No matter how much you beat her or abuse her, if you don't know, you don't know!
"..." Mikaela remained silent. Through his magical perception, he roughly understood that although this Hassan of the Hundred Faces had Servant Spirit Origin, he did not have any threatening aura.
If we use "bad combat" to describe someone's poor skill, then this Hassan of the Hundred Faces's combat ability is probably only 0!
"This is really something." Emiya Kiritsugu for a cigarette; he sensed things were getting complicated.
"Mr. Kiritsugu, my Master ..." Hassan of the Arm snatched the cigarette from Emiya Kiritsugu's hand once again. He had noticed that whenever this man encountered trouble or distress, he would subconsciously take out a cigarette to smoke.
Smoke less.
Red A even took the cigarette out of Emiya Kiritsugu's pocket, knowing that cigarettes are very harmful to the human body.
Although his father was Magecraft, and a very skilled Magecraft at that, smoking didn't pose much of a threat to him.
Or rather, the harm caused by smoking is less than what a purification Magecraft can restore.
Even so, Red A doesn't want his father's smoking to harm his health. Although he has concealed his real name, please accept this small token of his concern.
"..." Emiya Kiritsugu silent. He really was grateful to his Servant and the Hassan of the Arm.
The cigarettes were taken away, and Emiya Kiritsugu didn't say much. After all, Mikaela's appearance had always remained at the fifteen-year-old stage, and sometimes when he looked at her, he would feel a faint pang of pain in his heart.
Such a young child was forced to go to the battlefield, and he even had to rely on the enemy's strength. This was something that Emiya Kiritsugu, who still held a sense of justice, could not tolerate.
However, there's no other way now. He can't obtain the Holy Grail Core on his own, so he can only rely on Mikaela's power.
"What should we do?" Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Mikaela, as if asking what the next step should be.
"No, I don't know what to do either." Mikaela shook his head slightly. He had just used the Heaven's Gate, but the other party had no 'memory' at all.
I tried to get her to speak, but she seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
So Mikaela was at a loss for what to do. The Heaven's Gate had always been his divine weapon for interrogating his enemies, but now... this divine weapon was useless, which made him feel a little upset.
"..." Loli Hassan raised her head, glanced at Mikaela and Hassan of the Arm, and showed no emotion.
Her lifeless appearance would probably make an ordinary person want to hold her in their arms and cherish this little girl who has lost her memory and ability to speak.
However, the four people present were different. They knew very well that this seemingly young and pitiful little girl had been fighting with them just a moment ago, looking like she wanted to take their lives.
So they won't act like some Greek huntress who wants to kill her one second and then acts like a madwoman, determined to protect her no matter what.
"Excuse me, Master, may I speak to you in private?" At this moment, Hassan of the Arm spoke up. He seemed to have thought of a certain possibility. He said to Mikaela in a calm tone, "If my idea is not wrong, then perhaps we can get her to reveal the information on her own."
"Can't we say it out loud?" Red A spoke up. Although he knew that Mikaela and his father had a good relationship and were allies, it was normal for them to share information.
"..." Hassan of the Arm was silent for a moment, then looked at Mikaela as if asking for his request.
"It's alright."
Mikaela didn't think she had any big secrets and just wanted Hassan of the Arm to tell her.
"... The First Hassan."
Hassan of the Arm calmly uttered these four words, causing the Loli Hassan sitting on the ground to tremble, and a terrifying emotion suddenly appeared in her previously lifeless eyes.
It was as if those four words possessed a special magic! They instilled a deep sense of fear in her.
Or rather, every being who inherits the name of Hassan can never forget those four words! The Hassan who killed Hassan.
"Master, when I first appeared in the world, I sensed the aura of the First Generation on you. Perhaps it was this aura that made me obey the summons." Hassan of the Arm also knew that the Holy Grail War was completely different from their original plan.
It's likely that even Emiya Kiritsugu wouldn't be able to obtain enemy intelligence.
Their only clue was the personality of this Hassan of the Hundred Faces. Only by getting her to obediently reveal the information could they find out what had happened to her.
Is it useful?
Red A looked at the Loli Hassan, whose eyes were filled with fear. Although he knew that fear could make people tell the truth, she was still a person who had undergone rigorous training. How could she obediently reveal information and betray her Master for the sake of 'one person'?
If it were before they died, then Red A might think it was possible, but the situation is different now. They are now in the real world, fighting for the Holy Grail.
To participate in the Holy Grail War, even if they were best friends or brothers in life, they would never willingly withdraw from the arena for the sake of their own desires.
"Neither of these Hassan could possibly harbor any rebellious thoughts towards him; he is the Hassan of legend." Hassan of the Arm said very seriously, "Even just his aura is enough to terrify the Hundred Faces."
"Click".
After hearing Hassan of the Arm's words, Mikaela calmly crushed the card, and a black stone greatsword appeared in his hand.
"Pfft"
The blade pierced the earth, Mikaela calmly 'looked' at the trembling Loli Hassan, saying indifferently, "Even if you've forgotten everything, seeing this sword should remind you of everything."
"The... the... the first generation's weapon?!" Hassan of the Arm exclaimed.

Chapter 178 Daring Not to Come Out
No one ever saw Hassan alive, or rather... the moment they saw him, the Hassan knew their end was near.
Whether that being is dead or alive, or even exists, remains a mystery within their Assassin Order.
Because no one has witnessed his existence, people have begun to question it. But whenever doubts arise...
The contemporary Hassan will stand up and prove that the First Hassan was a real person, even though they never actually saw him, because that voice always lingers in their hearts.
And they truly saw the moment of their deaths.
"Aa..."
Loli Hassan screamed, her eyes filled with terror. She couldn't speak, but memories flooded her mind like a tidal wave.
She wanted to escape, she desperately wanted to escape, but before she could take a single step, she was blocked by Hassan of the Arm.
She could clearly see that the former Hassan was also trembling; he was terrified, but he still blocked her way, not wanting her to escape.
"Ahhh!! Ahhhhh!!" Loli Hassan seemed to be trying to say something, waving her hands frantically, trying to keep Mikaela from getting close to her with the black stone greatsword.
Mikaela could clearly 'see' the fear in Loli Hassan. He coughed a few times and said in a deliberately low voice, "A hundred faces? What did you accomplish with countless wisdoms? A hundred selves fighting for the desire of a single belief?"
"Aaaaaah!! Aaaaah!! Aaaaah!!"
Upon hearing this, little Loli Hassan curled up into a ball, covering her head with her hands, as if to say, "I know I was wrong!"
