Chapter 1442: Fighting against 50 Heroic Spirits

Fuyuki City, behind a mountain.

"So, we won't be meeting tonight?"

Hinagiku and Mikoto confirmed the content of the deal with Wu Yan.

"Yeah, we agreed that separately moving would be the best."

Mikoto crossed her arms.

"I don't want a kid jumping me after I am done with a fight."

"Yeah..."

Hinagiku grumbled.

"It feels bad to put my blade to a girl's neck."

"But, we will have to fight sooner or later."

Wu Yan sighed.

"Miyu and Illya will most likely face us for the cards."

"Yeah, we are the villains of this story."

Hinagiku looked at the shining city below.

"They're fighting another spirit somewhere else, right?"

"Rin didn't say where she would go. I told her to not come here since we booked this spot."

Wu Yan shrugged.

"Once we go in, we can try reaching their location through the Mirror Worlds."

"That would render your agreement null and void. They would suspect we're trying to ambush them in the Mirror Worlds."

Mikoto disagreed.

"Fine, let them run around first. We will steal the cards when the time comes..."

"Yeah, that is a classic villain's line."

Wu Yan slapped his cheeks.

"It's time, get ready to move out."

The two ladies moved to his side.

Vrmm

A series of magic formations wrapped the three up.

They couldn't tell the directions as the lights flickered around them.

When they came to, they were in a place with a pale shade of moonlight lighting up the place.

A pale blue mist permeated the woodland area they were in.

"We're here."

Mikoto flashed with lightning.

"Where are the enemies?"

"Not yet..."

Hinagiku raised her crystal sword Shirosakura.

"Something isn't right."

Wu Yan took the vanguard.

"I sense something weird in the air.

A silhouette flashed past the foliage of the trees.

"Who goes there?!"

She struck the tree with a lightning bolt.

Boom

The bolt missed the shadowy figure as it hid one more time by jumping into the bushes. The tree that got hit with her bolt was charred black.

"It dodged me?"

Mikoto praised.

"Good speed..."

"Not just speed..."

Wu Yan narrowed his eyes.

"I can't feel its presence."

The wood turned silent as an eerie vibe descended.

"Feels..."

Hinagiku backed away slightly.

"Scary..."

"Don't be influenced."

Wu Yan grabbed her cold hand.

"It is just a Heroic Spirit with presence concealment. It isn't a ghost or anything."

"Yeah..."

Hinagiku calmed herself down.

"A sneaky Heroic Spirit, it can only be that one..."

"Yes..."

Wu Yan scanned the surrounding.

"Speed, presence concealment, and agility, this sneak attack type points to the traits of an Assassin-class Heroic Spirit."

"Assassin?"

Mikoto pursed her lips.

"What now?"

"It is out of luck against us."

Wu Yan smirked.

"Hinagiku, Mikoto, use your System's scan."

No matter how fast, no matter how sneaky, and no matter the rank of their Presence Concealment, the System can pick them up.

The three stood together as they scanned the area.

In an instant, the System picked up on lifeforms nearby.

They scanned the Assassin.

Assassin: Level 59

Heroic Spirits are like the manifestation of the beliefs in mythological and historical beings.

The greater the merit, the wider the fame, and the stronger these Heroic Spirits become.

Assassins do things in the dark and they never gain much fame for their work. People usually don't remember their names either.

These spirits tend to be weaker spirits due to having lower fame than other spirits.

They have to rely on Noble Phantasms and special skills to win.

Hinagiku and Mikoto expected the Assassin this time to be weaker than Medusa.

The peak of tier 6.

This is too weak.

Surprisingly, there isn't just one Assassin here.

There are...

They picked up 50 assassins in this area.

50 Assassins?

"Yan!"

Hinagiku and Mikoto tensed up.

"What's going on?"

"Don't think too much. There is only one spirit for each Class Card."

Wu Yan answered.

"The System is picking up these many signatures because the Assassin used its Noble Phantasm."

"A noble phantasm did this?"

Hinagiku grinned.

"Okay, they're just clones but they can still hurt us."

"50 peak tier 7 assassin heroic spirits?"

Mikoto stretched as she spawned lightning around her.

"Just how I liked it."

Sinister dark figures emerged from behind the trees nearby.
