Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 289: Saber: "Let's attack Assassin!"

No one could say anything since Lancer was beaten so easily!

Lancer wasn't weak.

Or rather, there was no doubt that he was one of the strongest.

If he wasn't strong, then how could he even wound Saber?

Yet, he was killed.

Lancer was easily killed and unable to do anything like a baby that was unable to do anything without its parents.

---

"Impossible! Impossible!"

"Lancer..."

Kayneth was unable to believe that Lancer lost so easily. Even though he didn't like Lancer, especially when this Servant of his often acted on his own or even seemed to have a good relationship with his wife, he didn't want to see his Servant lost like that!

Was Lancer weak?

No way!

Nevertheless, Sola's shock also wasn't much different from Kayneth's. Lancer's Love Spot made her fall for Lancer, but that curse vanished when Tamazuki appeared. However, there was no doubt that Lancer was her ally.

No, it was their ally!

Their weapon!

If they lost the Lancer, then how could they protect themselves?

Facing Tamazuki, who could kill Lancer with ease, how could they defeat this being?

Kayneth and Sola panicked and wondered how they could stay alive, especially when they were already trapped in this space and unable to escape.

---

Still, unlike Kayneth and Sola, who were panicked, Irisviel and Scheherazade felt better.

Scheherazade felt happy since his strength gave her confidence that he could protect her and give her peace of mind. By his side was the safest place in this whole universe, and it was impossible for her to get away from him.

Irisviel also felt the same. She had already given up and given everything to Tamazuki. Moreover, if he was strong, then he should be able to protect her daughter. Her life was limited anyway, and she knew that her death was near, especially when the Lesser Grail was taken out from her body.

Irisviel could feel it, and that is why she didn't give herself to him, yet at the same time, she also felt quite reluctant.

'I wonder why...'

Nevertheless, she also felt guilty about her dead husband since she had forgotten him so soon.

'No, I didn't forget my husband!'

Her body might have been given to Tamazuki, but her heart was still for Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu, I am sorry.

Irisiviel thought in her heart, but everything was for their daughter, so she could only be with Tamazuki.

As she thought so, she felt relief for some reason, as if she had made a good excuse for the mistake she had made.

Nevertheless, among the three of them, Saber was the one that shocked the most. She looked at her severed sinew that had recovered, but her feelings became complex.

In the first battle of the Holy Grail, she was the one who faced Lancer, so she knew how strong this Servant was, yet Lancer was defeated so easily by Tamazuki.

Tamazuki also didn't use a dirty method or anything that tarnished the pride of the knight.

He only used one thing.

Overwhelming power.

It was like how he defeated her.

Well, his way of defeating her couldn't be said to be clean, but there was no doubt he was strong.

The proof was in front of her.

Frankly, if she wanted to, it should be possible for her to defeat Lancer, especially with her Noble Phantasm. Moreover, Tamazuki also returned her scabbard, allowing her to unseal her Excalibur.

With all of those things, if she wanted to, she could destroy this planet.

However, such a Noble Phantasm was impossible to do instantly, and it needed time, which was different from Tamazuki, who could use his powerful attacks in just a blink of an eye.

Watching all of this, Saber should feel complex, especially when he was an enemy who had taken her down and Irisviel previously, yet strangely enough, she felt relief since she knew this Holy Grail was as good as his, and it felt good to rely on someone.

---

After he devoured Lancer, Tamazuki fell in silence as he tried to digest his yield. It was his first time devouring a Servant, and frankly, he wondered whether he could succeed since a Servant wasn't like any creatures that he had devoured.

While a Servant had a body that wasn't much different from a human, he knew they were different.

If he had to say, their bodies were like a clump of Prana that was shaped into a creature.

Nevertheless, he succeeded and got everything from Lancer, including his two Noble Phantasms.

He could summon the two spears and apply the abilities of the two spears to his body, giving him a body that could nullify magic and also make him able to give a permanent wound to his opponent.

Those abilities were simple, but they were good.

Tamazuki felt satisfied with his harvest, and at the same time, he felt that he had done a good deed. His words might be weird, but if Lancer followed the original story, then what would happen to Lancer?

In the original, Lancer would commit suicide when his Master ordered him to do so. Even though his Master did so because he wanted to save his fiancee, it couldn't be denied that Lancer was betrayed once again by the Master that he served.

Such a painful death where he cried black blood as he cursed everyone wasn't a good ending.

However, this time, it was different.

Tamazuki gave him a good ending; at least Lancer wouldn't curse or cry in black blood as he stared at his Master in the hatred that was enough to reincarnate him into a vengeful spirit.

As he died, Lancer wouldn't curse his Master and only lamented that he didn't have enough strength.

Such an ending was a good ending for Lancer.

As Tamazuki thought that he was simply a gentleman, Saber suddenly raised her sword and reminded him in a loud voice. "Tamazuki! There are other enemies!"

Suddenly, the air in their surroundings started to change and became menacing and dangerous.

Moreover, around them, numerous numbers of black figures appeared one after another.

If they counted the numbers, they easily reached eighty in numbers!

"Assassin..."

Even though the opponent didn't say anything, Saber knew who her opponent was. Yet, she didn't expect that their numbers would be this much!

What went wrong with this Assassin?

All of the assassins walked toward them quietly, causing Saber to feel tense before she was startled when her shoulder was tapped.

"?!"

"Calm down."

"...don't do that so suddenly."

Saber almost had a heart attack when she was touched so suddenly during this critical moment.

"Leave this to Caster."

"...Caster?" Saber was dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"

However, Tamazuki didn't answer her and took out Scheherazade.

The moment Scheherazade came out, she was ready and used her Noble Phantasm without hesitation.

"Alf Layla wa-Layla."

At that moment, a bright radiance illuminated everything before it swallowed all of them.

All of them vanished without a trance, but soon, a flying chariot arrived at the place where the battle had just ended.

"...we're too late."

Riser and Waver looked at the area, which was scorched by a hot temperature, and their expression was heavy since who was this enemy?
