Naoki is on a Rampage

Assassin.

Among the seven Servant classes, this one could be said to be the weakest. Its ability scores were mediocre, and its direct combat strength was very weak. If it fought one-on-one directly, an Assassin could hardly defeat any other class.

However, that was for Servants. If the opponent was human, even an Assassin was an opponent that modern Magus couldn't face.

Especially the Assassin manifested by the Class Card this time. Its ability could even split itself into a group of assassins numbering up to eighty, turning the entire Mirror World it was in into a world like a hunting ground.

*BANG!*

However, this group of eighty assassins only appeared for a moment before Naoki, instantly torn to shreds by the Wind Domain that expanded throughout the Mirror World.

With Naoki as the center, apart from a safe circle within a three-meter radius, he included the entire Mirror World area as the target of countless wind blade attacks.

So what if there were many of them? Dividing one person's total Mana power into eighty parts meant that each individual would become very weak and even easier to eliminate.

"That makes four cards."

Exiting the Mirror World, Naoki threw the Assassin Class Card in his hand to Rin.

"Archer, Lancer, Assassin, Rider—three cards left. It looks like we can finish the task before three o'clock."

"You... your strength is truly unlike a human's..."

Before tonight, Rin had always doubted Naoki's words. After all, it was impossible for her to just believe him when he said he could directly deal with Servants.

But now, after seeing him kill Rider in an instant and mercilessly destroy the Assassin group, the doubts in her heart completely vanished.

This person's strength was truly like a monster's! It wasn't that Rin hadn't seen monsters before, but even compared to them, Naoki could be said to be on a monster level—meaning a monster among monsters.

"Big Brother, there's an unexpected situation." Gray suddenly approached, "According to Ruby's investigation, it seems one of the anomaly points caused by the Class Card has disappeared."

[And at the same time, an anomaly point relatively close to us suddenly increased in size]

"That means... two anomaly points merged?" Luvia frowned, "How troublesome... Naoki, can you handle two Servants at once?"

"Depends on who the two are, but I think it should be fine."

'Medea and Artoria? Medea is actually more troublesome.'

Thinking that, Naoki suddenly stopped for a moment, turning his head to look towards the entrance of the forest not far away—the Assassin Class Card was in the forest—at that entrance, although only faintly visible, there was indeed someone looking this way.

"Big Brother?"

Seeing Naoki looking in another direction, Gray unconsciously felt curious: "Is there someone there?"

"No, maybe I saw wrong. Instead of that, let's go to the next place, go to the one that's increasing in size and closer first."

"Roger!"

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Near the Mion River, in a seaside plaza near Fuyuki Bridge.

After letting Ruby and Sapphire open the way to the Mirror World for the third time, the five of them moved to the Mirror World again.

However, upon entering the Mirror World, the four people besides Naoki were instantly frozen in their spots.

"That... what is that?"

Looking up at the sky, Rin exclaimed in disbelief.

Hundreds... maybe approaching a thousand, dense, intricate geometric patterns as if directly carved into the sky, one after another, neatly arranged in formation, filling the entire sky.

"Magic formulas... and this many? The Class Card here is Caster?"

Luvia was also shocked simultaneously.

"Looks like it, clearly they've made thorough preparations waiting for us to come. Gray, Miyu, retreat a little further back. Rin and Luvia, find your own way to protect yourselves."

"Wai-, are you going to face this many directly—"

Before Rin finished speaking, Gray had already hugged her waist and retreated backward with Miyu and Luvia. And just after those few people left the spot where they were standing, the countless magic formations floating in the sky simultaneously shifted their positions towards Naoki, beams of light like sniper rifle scopes instantly filled his entire body.

Among the countless magic formations, Pseudo-Medea, holding a magic staff, moved her lips several times very quickly. Mana beyond Naoki's reach was directly channeled into each magic formation.

The next moment—

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

All the magic formations simultaneously fired attacks, countless purple beams of light rained down from the sky like a STORM.

This was a focused attack that was impossible to avoid. The sheer number of light beams had already locked down Naoki's movement space, and if he had to receive the direct attacks, even with Magic Resistance rank A, being repeatedly shot by hundreds or even thousands of Magecraft from the Age of Gods, it would be impossible not to be injured no matter what.

However.

*SWOOSH!*

Several flashes of red sword light suddenly streaked across the sky. Dozens of falling light beams were directly cut in half mid-air, and in the empty space created by this, Naoki moved extremely quickly through movements that almost defied the limits of human body capability.

'Too slow, compared to Merlin's sneak attacks, it's unbelievably slow.'

The thrusts of the Phantom Knights created by Merlin were much faster than this. From the air to the ground, a distance of several tens of meters, there was still no time to react. Then all the hardships Naoki went through in the past would have been in vain!

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Swinging the flaming sword made of Fire Spirit power in his hand, drawing several flashes of sword light that simultaneously cut and burned dozens of chasing light beams in one move, then stomping the ground firmly, the mana that exploded from his feet directly sent Naoki into the air, instantly reaching above Pseudo-Medea and the countless magic formations.

'All the magic attack formulas are fixed in space, they can't attack from above—I still remember this. Besides that, there's a Mana reflection field and a ready-to-use Space Transfer Magecraft, right? I remember everything clearly.'

Once you know the ins and outs, dealing with it becomes much easier.
