Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

"Not good! Saber, Kiritsugu is still outside!"

Seeing the Assassins gradually surrounding the entire courtyard, Irisviel's face changed drastically.

With so many Assassins, even if one of them were to cause trouble for Emiya Kiritsugu, Kiritsugu would not be able to handle it.

"Alice, don't panic, he's fine!"

Saber shook her head firmly.

Seeing Saber’s determined and serious eyes, Irisviel finally felt relieved.

The one who actually signed the contract with Saber was Emiya Kiritsugu. Through the contract, Saber could feel Emiya Kiritsugu's position and physical condition.

If Kiritsugu really encountered danger, he could use this Command Spell to rush there quickly.

But Kiritsugu didn't do that now, which means he was still safe.

In fact, when the banquet started, Kiritsugu Emiya drove away from the Matou Mansion and used a drone to monitor the situation in the sky at a location not too far or too close to the Matou Mansion.

At this time, no Assassin went to chase him.

Kotomine Kirei did not tell Tōsaka Tokiomi that Saber's real master was Emiya Kiritsugu. Therefore, in Tōsaka Tokiomi's view, Emiya Kiritsugu was just a mercenary hired by the Einzbern family and was not to be feared.

"What's going on? This number of Assassins is illegal! ... Is the Holy Grail really broken? Doesn't the rule say that you can only summon one person per class?"

Waver saw Assassin's figure everywhere in the courtyard. The strange black figures "all over the mountains and plains" made him feel very uncomfortable, and he could only let out a wail that was almost a scream.

He couldn't understand why this number completely exceeded the job restrictions set by the Holy Grail rules.

Seeing the miserable state of their prey, the Assassins, not knowing what was going on, smiled evilly and explained, "Hehehe, we are separated individuals. We are both a group and the servants of the individuals. We are both individuals and the shadows of the group!"

"Did each of the multiple personalities of the Heroic Spirit materialize?"

"Alice, be careful, they seem to be serious!"

Such a strong murderous intent made Saber grit her teeth in hatred.

No matter how many individuals Assassin splits into, their total amount of magic power will not change, so the more clones there are, the less magic power each Assassin contains, and the weaker their physical fitness will be.

But this kind of weak vision is for Heroic Spirits. For Waver and Irisviel, no matter how weak the Assassin is, he can easily kill them.

Saber would never care if a group of killers, like a mob, attacked from the front on the battlefield.

But now Saber must protect Irisviel.

As long as one Assassin is missed in the battle, that one Assassin will be enough to cause serious damage to Irisviel.

Saber wanted to seek help from her ally Caster, but when she saw the drunken Chen Yu, she gave up the idea.

Chen Yu was already drunk and somewhat unconscious. Could the other party still lend a helping hand?

While Saber was hesitating, Chen Yu was actually interested in asking Assassin: "Hey, Assassins over there, are you here to attend our party? Can you please restrain your aura? You are scaring the 'little ones'!"

The little boy Chen Yu refers to here refers specifically to Weber.

When Assassin appeared, Waver had already shamefully run behind Rider, trembling in fear. It was only thanks to Rider's huge body that he did not fall to the ground in an even more shameful manner.

When Saber heard that Chen Yu wanted to invite the other party to the banquet, he thought he had heard it wrong, and frowned and said, "Do you still want to invite them to the table? Are you really drunk?"

"Don't be so embarrassed, Saber, there are just new guests at the banquet, so you should still drink the wine. Could it be that the King of Knights is actually very timid?"

Even though Chen Yu mentioned Saber's difficulties when discussing the way of the king, Rider was still not convinced and his words were somewhat sarcastic.

Saber still retorted to Assassin with full vigilance: "But they don't look like guests at the banquet at all!"

"Hehehe, a banquet? You've got it wrong. We're not here to attend a banquet. We're here to attend your funeral banquet!"

Assassin laughed strangely, and instantly split into two groups and rushed towards Waver and Chen Yu beside Rider.

Assassin came here for two purposes: one is to find out Caster's background, and the other is to kill Caster's Master.

Relying on Assassin's ability to clone himself and cut off aura, Tōsaka Tokiomi believed that he could grasp the information of almost everyone without leaving the house.

In his opinion, the outcome of the Holy Grail War is already clear.

Saber's left hand was injured, Lancer's Master was disabled, and Berserker's Master was on the verge of collapse, unable to support Berserker's enormous magic power.

The above three are nothing to be afraid of.

Only Rider and Caster were still intact.

But Rider’s Master is a low-ranking magician, and the Noble Phantasm of “The King of Conquerors” Iskandar has already been revealed.

Although Rider is one of the best kings in the world, Tōsaka Tokiomi believes that Rider may have other cards besides the "Godly Wheel" that has been exposed, but he is definitely no match for Archer.

But Caster is different. Since Caster is called the evil god by Archer, he should not be underestimated.

Besides, it seems that the ability to break the breath has no effect on her.

Any Assassin assigned to monitor Caster would often suddenly go offline and then be killed, preventing the Assassins from obtaining more intelligence.

After losing seven or eight Assassins in succession, Tōsaka Tokiomi realized that Caster could easily detect the presence of the Assassins, so he did not let the Assassins get close enough to be killed.

Just let them watch from a distance, so that they can only obtain the minimum amount of intelligence.

But even so, even if the opponent is an unknown evil god named Naiyari, Tōsaka Tokiomi does not think he will lose.

His confidence comes from his understanding of Archer's Noble Phantasm.

No matter what kind of enemy it is, the Hero King can solve it as long as he is serious, and the same goes for the Evil God.

Among Archer's royal treasures there are treasures specifically designed to fight against gods.

The higher the divinity of the Heroic Spirit, the harder the Noble Phantasm will be, and the more difficult it will be to break free from it. It is one of the very few weapons that can fight against God.

With this Noble Phantasm, Archer has another trump card in his hand.

Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't think Archer would lose to Caster in a one-on-one situation.

But now almost everyone is in a clear state, only Caster is in the fog of war, and the state of unknown information makes Tōsaka Tokiomi a little uneasy.

All we know is that Caster can perform space-transfer magic, but his treasures are still unknown.

In Tōsaka Tokiomi's opinion, Rider's decision to hold the banquet at the Matou Mansion was a good opportunity to gather intelligence.

To this end, Tōsaka Tokiomi had his disciple Kotomine Kirei use all of his Command Seals, ordering Assassin to "win at all costs" to target Caster and her Master.

All the Command Seals greatly enhanced Assassin's sustained combat capability.

It would be best if we could kill Caster's Master under ideal circumstances, but if that's not possible, obtaining more information about Caster is also another option.

If that doesn't work, then killing the other Masters who came to the party would not be unacceptable.

Anyway, it was a one-and-done gamble using Assassin, and there was no point in Kotomine Kirei keeping the Command Seals without his Servant.

It would be better to use all the Command Spells and maybe bring some unexpected surprises.
