Chapter 820: Summoning Beasts at Will!
Chapter 820: Summoning Beasts at Will!
The Assassin class, a lineage of ancient mountain hermits known as Hassan, has once again manifested in the Holy Grail War. This time, the summoned Assassin is the nineteenth successor to the name "Hassan-i-Sabbah," the leader of the Assassin Order, renowned for their versatile skills, vast knowledge, and an enigmatic psyche that defies prediction, earning them the revered title of "Hundred Faces."
Hassan-i-Sabbah, in life, suffered from multiple personality disorder, and this trait has materialized in the current Holy Grail War as their Noble Phantasm, 'Delusional Illusion.'
This Noble Phantasm allows the Assassin's soul to fragment, creating separate entities with independent thoughts and the ability to act on their own.
The previous Assassin, who had seemingly died in front of everyone, was not an imposter, for they were indeed a part of Hassan-i-Sabbah's fragmented selves.
'Delusional Illusion' can create up to eighty individual entities, but as the total power remains constant, the more entities there are, the weaker each one becomes.
As this is a decapitation mission, numbers are meaningless, so Hassan-i-Sabbah only split her soul into two, one hiding in the shadows and the other using 'Breath Concealment' to assassinate Caster's Master.
A cold dagger suddenly pierced through the darkness, aiming for Medea, the Heroic Spirit. Though she was a frail mage, her perception of danger far surpassed that of modern mages.
Unfortunately, the Assassin attempting to kill her was also a Heroic Spirit, the very best at their craft.
By the time Medea sensed the danger, it was too late to use her 'Golden Fleece' or 'Space Transfer' magic.
As the dagger was about to pierce her neck, the fake Command Spell engraved on her wrist suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
With the disappearance of one of the fake Command Spells, its mana instantly formed a protective barrier in front of Medea.
"Ding——————!"
The dagger of Hassan-i-Sabbah struck the barrier, emitting a crisp sound as the mana shield shattered, and the dagger in Hassan-i-Sabbah's hand was knocked away!
In that fleeting moment, Medea seized the opportunity and used her 'Space Transfer' ability to create a safe distance from Hassan-i-Sabbah.
Having just escaped danger, Medea trembled as she noticed the missing fake Command Spell on her wrist. Her body shook with rage as she exclaimed, "Unforgivable! You wretch, how dare you destroy my most cherished engagement token! I will kill you, and it won't be quick! I'll make you suffer!"
Medea had always believed that the fake Command Spell on her wrist symbolized Yecheng's love vow to her. But just now, this precious token had been partially destroyed by the Assassin's surprise attack.
As expected, Medea's sudden hysteria overwhelmed her rationality, replaced by pure anger. Her hatred for the Assassin soared to its limit!
On the other side, Yecheng, constantly evading Gilgamesh's 'Heaven's Chain,' realized that the Dragon Fang Soldiers were mere cannon fodder. With the Assassin's natural advantage over mages like Medea, Yecheng once again reached into the void.
"High-Order Monster Creation - Anubis!"
"High-Order Monster Creation - Sphinx!"
Yecheng's magic, originating from the Bone King's world, was similar to the Bone King's 'Undead Creation,' both being summoning-type spells, albeit from different systems.
Anubis, the jackal-headed phantom beast, is a guide for the dead.
The Sphinx, a lion-bodied beast with a human face, is a guardian of the Pharaoh's royal power.
As the two renowned mythical beasts appeared with Night City's mere gestures, everyone present was left dumbfounded.
With exceptional martial skills, immense mana, and rule-breaking Noble Phantasms, even mythical beasts could be summoned at will. What chance did they have against such power?
It was evident to the discerning eye that the summoned Anubis and Sphinx were genuine beast-class entities. Even one of them alone could elevate a summoned Heroic Spirit to the Rider class.
Yet, these awe-inspiring mythical beasts were merely high-level henchmen for Night City.
"You two, protect Medea... protect my Master, that woman over there. Understand?" Night City commanded.
Anubis and Sphinx, summoned by his words, nodded slightly. Then, with two loud thuds, they positioned themselves on either side of Medea.
Both Anubis and the Sphinx were colossal, their bodies spanning tens of meters.
As they descended, the surrounding Draconic Soldiers were crushed into powder in large numbers.
Medea paid no mind to this; she was thrilled to discover that these beasts obeyed her commands.
Compared to the ordinary Draconic Soldiers, Anubis and Sphinx were undoubtedly boss-level henchmen.
Medea had been hesitant about using her Noble Phantasm against Assassin, but now she had no such concerns. These beasts were on a level where even she might struggle in a one-on-one fight, let alone against a mere Assassin.
"Sphinx, tear that Assassin to shreds!" Medea, perched atop the Sphinx, still held a grudge against Assassin for taking her 'Fake Command Spell'.
As the massive beast pounced, Hassan-e-Sabbah did not dare engage directly. His body instantly dematerialized, and he simultaneously activated his class skill, 'Presence Concealment'.
However, just as Assassin's body vanished, Anubis, in jackal form, fixed his sharp eyes on the empty space and lashed out with a claw.
Although the claw swiped at thin air, a painful cry suddenly echoed, and a figure materialized, spitting blood as they were sent flying.
"Anubis, the guide of the dead, is revered as a deity in Ancient Egypt. With eyes that see through the boundaries of life and death, a mere 'Presence Concealment' cannot hide from his gaze."
Medea, suspended in mid-air, felt an immense sense of satisfaction. Although she had known her Master was extraordinarily powerful, she had not anticipated Night City's overwhelming strength.
Could Night City be an unknown Pharaoh? Medea couldn't help but wonder.
The Anubis and Sphinx before her eyes were certainly not the real deal, but the fact that Night City could create such beasts, even near-perfect magical creatures, with his magic alone, was a testament to his formidable abilities.
With these two beasts and her army of Draconic Soldiers, Medea felt confident enough to take on two or three Heroic Spirits alone!
