The spreading fire dragon instantly swallowed Hassan, its terrifying heat freely incinerating his body. Before long, this fully healthy Hassan had been burned into a pile of ashes!
The director and Mash stared blankly at the destruction caused by Kiyohime's Noble Phantasm, their mouths hanging wide open.
"Master, please give the order. There is another Servant hiding in the shadows!"
Kiyohime's gaze sharpened as she turned to stare at a ruined building across from them. I sensed killing intent from two places!
As a Berserker, she lacked the skill to act independently. Therefore, unless someone threatened her life or Su Mo's, she could only remain by Su Mo's side and await his orders.
"What? There's another Servant?" The director and Mash recovered from their shock and both turned their eyes toward the building Kiyohime had indicated.
"I permit it, Kiyohime. Take him out!" Su Mo decisively gave the order. Kiyohime nodded, lightly tapped the ground with her toes, and leaped up the tall building in several bounds.
A series of crackling sounds followed, then a purple-haired woman holding a spear and wearing a black robe fell from above!
"Lancer Medusa?" Su Mo recognized her identity the moment he saw her face.
"What a troublesome little girl!" Like Hassan, Medusa had intended to hunt Su Mo's group out of boredom. She had simply never expected Su Mo's party to include Kiyohime, whose enemy-detection ability was exceptionally strong—her stalker skill—so she had been exposed at once.
"Then, how about this?" Medusa licked the corner of her lips and swept back her long hair with both hands. In an instant, her hair transformed into entwined iron chains that filled the sky, seemingly ready to fall at any moment and tear everyone to pieces!
"You truly are a troublesome Heroic Spirit. If Master had not strengthened me, I might not have been able to defeat you." Kiyohime spoke softly, a lovely blush appearing on her pretty face.
"Master? So you're not a lone Heroic Spirit." Hearing Kiyohime's words, Medusa turned her gaze toward Su Mo at the side.
Normally, if a Master died, the Servant contracted to them would lose their source of magical energy and return to the Hall of Heroes!
"I'll kill you first!"
Medusa's eyes narrowed, and countless iron chains filling the air twisted toward Su Mo to slaughter him.
"Master!" Kiyohime cried out as she looked at Su Mo, her pretty face turning pale with fright.
"Senpai, watch out!"
Seeing Su Mo in danger, Mash stepped in front of him and planted the massive shield in her hand on the ground before him.
The shield was incredibly heavy. Even after becoming a Demi-Servant, Mash had to exhaust all her strength just to wield it. Yet even so, she liked the feeling of holding that shield in both hands.
For Mash, her first sixteen years at Chaldea had been ordinary and pale. She had drifted among all kinds of people like a puppet swaying with time, never finding her own existence or direction.
But the sixteen years that followed were fortunate for Mash, because only when she gripped that weighty shield and protected those behind her did she feel her own existence and purpose. It was like a splash of color poured into her pale, empty life, giving her entire world color and weight from then on!
A storm-like barrage of attacks struck the great shield, the endless clangs ringing through the air.
Mash's petite figure stood as straight as a sword plunged into the earth. She firmly blocked the way in front of Su Mo, protecting him from the enemy's attacks and fully embodying the shieldbearer's class!
"Damn it, she's only a Demi-Servant!" Medusa glared at Mash through gritted teeth, but her heart soon went cold.
"How dare you sneak attack my Master! Who gave you the nerve to do that!!!"
A chilling voice rang out. Medusa mechanically turned her head, only to see that Kiyohime's face had completely darkened, thick ominous black energy radiating from her body.
"I finally found a big *0 thigh to have some fun with, and you dared touch my big *0 thigh? You're tired of living!"
She repeatedly waved the folding fan in her hand, sending blazing balls of fire flying straight at Medusa.
Medusa's face twisted in horror as she hurriedly flung out chain after chain to block Kiyohime's flames.
