Chapter 69 Proxima into the battle

" Aren't you going to join the battle, old man? The situation isn't optimistic even Qin Shi Huang holds the fleet."

The woman in armor said, crossing her arms with wonder. Her platinum hair was drifting in the wind as she was observing the battlefield with her keen insight.

The tall old man with a mask scoffed at her remark. He pointed at the giant ship that was floating in the air.

" They haven't joined yet. We ought to persevere our power before their lord arrives."

The man replied, glancing at her with indifference. There was no need to waste his energy on this cannon fodder to his recognition. He knew the battle will go to the individual battle soon.

The woman smiled after hearing his response. She leaned on the wall to relax her vigilance.

" Then I will rest myself. Call me if you need my help."

She said while closing her eyes. Even so, her hand never let go of the spear that she was holding her spear.

Boom*

Suddenly, the ground trembled from the sudden impact. The old man took out his sword before jumping to the sky. His dark mantle wrapped around him as he disappeared into nothing.

The woman opened her eyes and looked around.

" Stubborn old man."

She said, continuing her rest. The battle was already going in their direction unless something unprecedented happens.

Proxima looked at Musashi while summoning her spear. She could feel great strength from the humans around her.

" All shall bow before my lord."

She shouted while raising her hand. The servants raised their heads as they saw countless spears that were falling toward them.

Mordred kicked off the alien and shouted.

" Annoying bastard. Taste this!"

She appeared next to Proxima and kicked her back, but Proxima blocked her kick while throwing a spear toward Musashi who was coming over to help. Musashi barely dodged the speed and wiped her sweat because the spear was fast as a bullet. She could feel the great physical strength of Proxima.

" Don't underestimate me!"

Mordred roared while using her magic. However, Proxima already saw through her attack since she was quite overwhelmed by their surprise attack last time. She retreated to the rear and found Artoria who was waiting for her.

Bang*

Artoria threw her off guard as she kicked her to the mountain of robot scraps. Proxima inserted her spear into the ground to balance herself. She frowned while looking at the three servants. Each of them was powerful enough to duel herself, but there was a slight flaw.

Proxima threw her spears while maintaining her distance since they were close-quarter fighters. Besides, their speed wasn't fast enough to catch up to her who was using terrain advantage.

Rise*

Suddenly, she felt a death threat from her back. Cold sweat formed on her forehead as she manages to pull herself back.

Slash*

A sword was left on the ground as the tall man appears from the thin air. His mask was eerie looking and his eyes were blazing with red color.

" How surprising? Thou had escaped from my attack. Perhaps, this is the intuition that was honored through the countless battle."

The man said, marveling at her senses. He perfectly concealed himself and hid his bloodlust, yet Proxima was able to escape from the jaw of death.

" Old man Hassan, what are you doing here? Aren't you with Brunhild?"

Mordred asked, not knowing what was his objective since he was a mysterious type. Artoria put her hand on her shoulder to reprimand to show her respect because Hassan was a respected person in the circle. He was probably the most loyal subject of Arthur and he would never do reckless things like this.

Hassan didn't respond to her question. He just stood there while observing Proxima.

" Thou shalt reserve thy power."

He spoke, saying his true intentions. Musashi understood his swords immediately as she sheathed her sword back. She bowed and retreated to the rear lines since she used quite a bit of her power. Artoria also dragged Mordred back because the battle has yet to start.

" I didn't have your information. Who are you?"

Proxima asked, looking at him with vigilance. She was sure this man was much stronger than her and he wasn't showing his true power.

Hassan narrowed his eyes. He could kill this woman, but he had to waste quite a bit of his power, so he decided to keep her here while he retains his power for the emergency.
