[Chapter 7] Assassin

(A/N: This is after school has ended. Alex woke up in the afternoon.)

[POV: Alex]

We were currently going through the clouds towards Kuoh Academy. I was in my serpent form that was invisible thanks to Eresh's spells.

While sitting on top of my giant head, Nero asked something.

"What happened to Sabers(Dark) Master?" She asked me. I thought for a bit before opening my enormous mouth and replying.

"No idea. However, I don't think they were a good Master. I mean, who sends their Servant to death?" I was genuinely confused by his/her actions. No one said anything after that.

After sailing in the air for a few more minutes, we finally arrived at Kuoh Academy. Coiling around myself in the air, I looked around for any signs of a Servant. 'Empty.' I thought. Disappointed, I went to other places in the academy.

While we were sailing through the clouds, my special eyes picked off the aura of a Servant. Instantly, I dived towards the location of said aura. I also adjusted my size so I could fit in.

*CLANG* I heard a loud noise. looking around, I saw Artoria and another Servant exchanging blows. the enemy Servant kept trying to get behind her though.

After watching the two fight for a while, Eresh and Nero jumped off my head.

"Nero, find the enemy Master and apprehend him/her. Eresh, help Artoria. I will find Shirou." I quickly gave my commands before ascending to the clouds and surveying the area. While ascending, I saw Nero and Eresh break the sound barrier and do their orders.

[POV: Nero]

Before Alex gave us our commands, I had copied a few skills from him. Namely [Swordsmanship] and [Aura]. [Swordsmanship] made me extremely skilled in the sword while [Aura] lets me destroy my enemy's willpower. I had also copied a few more abilities.

Currently, I was running towards a place that had a higher concentration of Mana than average. After arriving, felt danger towards my left. Quickly swinging my sword, I cut a light spear in half.

"Impress-" I didn't let her start monologuing as I kicked the air to arrive next to her. When I arrived, I slashed her multiple times, interrupting her speech.

"Y-You!" She said furiously before sending 4 more beams of light on my way. Slashing through them with my sword, I arrived in front of her and used [Aura].

"My head!" She screamed as her mental strength was crushed. dropping to the ground, she glared at me furiously. Not caring about her glare, I picked her up and dashed towards Eresh.

[POV: Alex]

I was running towards Eresh while dragging Shirou. When we were finally there, I saw Eresh fighting a giant man. the enemy Servant was currently fighting Artoria.

"Sa-" I quickly closed Shirou's mouth. A sneak attack would be a much better option than blindly running in. After explaining to him the plan, I left towards the enemy Servant. I pulled Kodandam out of a crack in space before pulling an arrow from another crack in space. Putting the arrow on the bowstring, I pulled it back and pushed my Mana in it. Multiple magic circles appeared around the arrow as it glowed silver. Steadying my breathing, I let go of the bowstring.

*WHOOSH* The silver arrow cut through the air as it pierced the man in black and red.

"Argh!" He grunted before Artoria separated his head from his body.

"Thanks for the assist." She said before looking at Eresh and the giant man exchanging blows. "Shouldn't you help your Servant?" she asked me.

I smiled at her as I pulled out another arrow, putting on the bowstring, it glowed silver before I let go. The silver arrow broke through the sound barrier before it pierced the giant man.

"Boom," I said as cracks in space appeared around the giant man.

*RIIIIIP* the space around him literally broke apart as chaotic energies started leaking out of it. Tendrils of red energy pierced his skin, making him scream in agony. As if that wasn't enough, Eresh stabbed him multiple times with her lance.

What I did just now was opening a temporary portal to the Void, the place in-between universes, also the place I had to go through if I wanted to travel the multiverse. I developed this technique inside mental acceleration while we were flying here.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" He continued screaming in agony before another crack formed in front of his face and red tendrils of energy entered his mouth. Not long after, one could see his veins which were filled with red energy. After a few more seconds of agony, he exploded. The cracks in space disappearing soon after.

'I feel bad for him. He technically got r*ped by the Void.' I thought before walking towards Eresh. While walking towards her, I put my bow inside my Treasury again.

"When did you learn how to do that?!" She asked with admiration in her voice.

"Mental acceleration," I said after arriving in front of her.

"When?" She asked me. I could see that she wanted to talk more about this so I answered her questions while waiting for Shirou.

While I was explaining to Eresh my abilities, I saw another blonde running towards me. I signaled Eresh to be quiet before walking towards Nero. I also saw a woman with black hair that had lifeless eyes. 'Did she crush her willpower? Which skill did she use?' I had multiple questions but pushed them away and finally arrived in front of Nero.

"Good job," I said to her before she smiled and spoke.

"Of course! Did you think this great Nero would fail such a simple task?" I laughed at her smug face before patting her head and asked her a question.

"Is she..?" She nodded at my question and dropped the woman on the ground. She also looked happy, probably because of my legendary head pats. Yes, I had a head patting skill.

I sent the enemy Master, -no, they should be a normal Devil or Fallen Angel now- inside the [Hub]. '2 more Servants down, 5 more to go' I thought as I transformed into my Serpent form.

"Come on, I will drop you guys near your house," I said to Shirou and Artoria. It took a while for Shirou to clear his shock and jump on my head.

What an eventful day.

I will try to finish the Holy Grail War arc fast since I want that big robot army and world-conquering. I enjoy writing Emperor MC's the most.

Good night.
