Fate/Type: I Am the Assassin!

A loud bang echoed across the sea, and everyone on the Golden Hind couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound. They then saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching, eventually slamming hard into the Golden Hind's mainmast!

"Bang!"

Fortunately, the mast had been reinforced; Mo Shuying's impact only caused the entire ship to tremble, with no other damage.

"Plop!"

Everyone watched as Mo Shuying slid down and crashed onto the deck, their faces filled with surprise.

Especially Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They knew how strong Mo Shuying was—an invincible presence in their eyes! Yet, he had been blasted away, looking incredibly disheveled.

"You still dare to be distracted while fighting us! You're asking for death!"

Circe was in mid-air, preparing to attack. Seeing everyone distracted, she knew this was a rare opportunity, so she unleashed Dark Magecraft! She summoned a large flock of dark feathered crows, sending them rushing towards the Golden Hind.

Just as they were about to reach the Golden Hind, suddenly!

"Wind King Hammer!"

"Boom!"

A magic hammer formed from a strong gust of wind suddenly erupted, scattering all the crows! It then struck Circe.

"Ah!"

Circe, bleeding from all over, flew backward from the impact of the Wind King Hammer. She gritted her teeth and stabilized herself in the air, just about to angrily question who it was! Suddenly!

"Whoosh!"

A man who terrified her flashed past her. The scene was so familiar that Circe immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She stiffly turned her head to look at the departing Mo Shuying. The next second!

"Pfft!"

A massive sword wound nearly cut Circe in half. This time, Ophiuchus wasn't there to save her. Circe fell through the air, disappearing before she hit the water.

"Alcides!!"

Mo Shuying rapidly charged towards Alcides. That arrow just now had actually blasted Mo Shuying away. If Mo Shuying hadn't been in good physical condition, he probably would have been spitting blood.

It was a total loss of face, being suppressed in strength for the first time. This made Mo Shuying quite displeased!

"Come on again!!"

Mo Shuying charged forward, his Holy Sword slashing through the air, sending a stream of magic sword energy flying out!

"Boom!"

Waves surged, but they were pushed away by the magic power emanating from Alcides.

"Very good. Not many humans can withstand an arrow from me."

Alcides praised him from the bottom of his heart, but Mo Shuying found his words grating.

"Hmph!"

Mo Shuying thrust his sword towards Alcides's chest, attempting to close the distance again.

However, Alcides merely waved his hand, and four terrifying Demonic Horses appeared, charging together towards Mo Shuying.

"Hm?"

Mo Shuying hadn't expected Alcides to use summoning magic. The aura of these Demonic Horses wasn't weak; they all seemed to be at Servant level.

"You're using monsters to fight me! You're underestimating me too much! Beast Slayer Slash!"

Mo Shuying's Holy Sword glowed, and a phantom red dragon appeared behind him, vivid and menacing. Even Alcides could hear the red dragon's heartbeat, and the four Demonic Horses were intimidated by the pressure of this higher-ranked Phantasmal Beast. They froze for a moment, then were instantly beheaded by Mo Shuying's sword.

"Pfft!"

A golden flash, and the massive heads of the four Demonic Horses fell, with large amounts of blood spurting from the severed necks.

These four Demonic Horses were one of Alcides's Noble Phantasms, a part of his Twelve Labors. They allowed him to summon Demonic Horses he had once subdued to attack his enemies, four at a time. Once killed, they couldn't be summoned again for a short period.

Alcides didn't rely much on these subdued monsters for attack. He summoned the Demonic Horses simply to test Mo Shuying's strength. Besides, his Twelve Labors represented twelve different powers, and his summoning abilities weren't limited to just the [Mares of Diomedes!]

"Roar!"

A gate of dark flames opened behind Alcides, immense in size. A roar came from within, followed closely by a giant, black hound leaping out!

[Hound of Hades]

This Noble Phantasm could summon the hellhounds that guarded the Underworld, divine beasts once blessed by Hades himself!

"Roar!"

The Hound of Hades strode across the water, its four paws burning with hellfire. Each step ignited the very seawater.

Mo Shuying frowned as he looked at the giant hound, not because he found it troublesome, but because he felt insulted.

"Is this all you've got, Alcides, these petty tricks?!!"

The instant the giant hound approached, Mo Shuying whipped his sword around, unleashing a wave of golden sword energy. The giant hound bore the brunt of the attack, sent flying along with the seawater.

At the same time, Mo Shuying gathered his magic. The dense magic instantly transformed into golden flames, burning intensely as he poured all his power into the Holy Sword!

"EX!"

The Sword of Promised Victory instantly materialized, infused with Mo Shuying's immense magical power—this was destined to be an earth-shattering blow!

But the very next second!

"*Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!*"

In an instant, the bowstring sounded like firecrackers. By the time Mo Shuying heard it, he realized it was too late.

Seven long arrows, without distinction, aimed for Mo Shuying's vital points—eyes, ears, mouth, nose, heart—and were already closing in.

Mo Shuying's expression remained unchanged. Since he dared to gather magic so openly, it meant he had a backup plan!

"Avalon!"

The power of the distant ideal land enveloped Mo Shuying. The seven magical arrows passed through Mo Shuying's body simultaneously, yet caused him no harm.

Mo Shuying swung down the Holy Sword, his expression unperturbed.

"*Caliber!!*"

"*Boom!!*"

A dazzling sword light split the sea, rapidly surging towards Alcides.

"*Boom!!*"

It struck, and the surging energy spread, vaporizing and dispersing the surrounding seawater.

A fine mist rose before Mo Shuying. He returned his sword to its sheath, his gaze even more serious.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

The sea was dyed black, continuously spreading outwards. Large, foul-smelling bubbles emerged from the blackened water.

At the center of the black water, lightning, flames, ice, poisonous gas, and various evil and chilling forces swirled. Nine incredibly massive black figures writhed, and eighteen crimson eyes stared towards Mo Shuying, radiating chilling killing intent.

"Nine Lives."

Alcides emerged among these colossal figures. The nine huge black figures rose, and incredibly, they all connected!

"Is that Hydra? The nine-headed serpent," Mo Shuying asked.

Alcides shook his head.

"Although this Noble Phantasm carries Hydra's venom, it is not Hydra. If you must call it something, you can call it the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon."

Hydra had already been killed by Alcides; the Nine-Headed Evil Dragon here merely borrowed Hydra's appearance.

Mo Shuying's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Evil Dragon? Is it a dragon?

If it was a dragon, then it would be easy. As a Dragon Slayer, dragons were what he feared the least.

"I never expected Nine Lives to look like this. I always thought it was some kind of archery technique."

Mo Shuying gripped his sword with both hands, his magical power surging throughout his body. Next, it seemed, a dragon-slaying battle was about to unfold.

Alcides looked at Mo Shuying with a meaningful gaze. He really wanted to tell Mo Shuying that Nine Lives could be an arrow, a spear, or even a sword, but in his corrupted state, he could only unleash it in this form.
