"Incantation - Wind King's Eyes!"
"Incantation - Lightning Pool!"
"Incantation - Bloodsucking Scythe!"
As the Hassan with the ability of Instant began his attack, the other Hassans also simultaneously unleashed their Incantations, but their speed couldn't keep up with any of it!
It wasn't until after three slashes that these Incantations even showed signs of activating!
The invisible wind transformed into a bloodthirsty weasel, a storm began to brew, and thunder resounded in the arcade...
However, the Hassans no longer had a chance to unleash them, because what arrived at that moment was a thoroughly enraged Scáthach!
A Queen of the Land of Shadows! The Mistress of the Demonic Realm!
Under the wisdom of the Demonic Realm, the original Runes protected Scáthach's body, and time accelerated once again. If Hassan's Instant was like transforming himself into a watch operating at 128x speed, then Scáthach transformed herself into a clock. Under the influence of this power, everything around her slowed down in Scáthach's eyes.
"Pierce! Thrust! Gáe Bolg Alternative!"
Gáe Bolg Alternative, a B-rank Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm in Scáthach's hand, when its True Name is released, its performance is a supreme technique that combines Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasms [Gáe Bolg: Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death] and [Gáe Bolg: Soaring Spear of Death].
The first demonic spear pins the enemy in space, depriving them of the freedom to dodge, and the second demonic spear pierces the enemy's heart, inflicting a certain death penalty.
When the True Name was released, as the first demonic spear arrived by crossing space, Hassan found his body completely unable to move. Even the Godspeed couldn't escape the spatial lockdown, and at this moment, Scáthach had already pierced Hassan's heart with the second demonic spear.
Under the effect of the Noble Phantasm that guarantees death, even the most thick-skinned Berserker would lose a life, let alone the physically weak Hassan of the Hundred Faces!
Hassan's vitality instantly dissipated, and the Godspeed state was also dispelled at this moment.
Bond poked his bald dog head out from the ruins, facing Hassan, whose blood continuously flowed from the demonic spear impaling him in Scáthach's hand.
"Is it over?" Bond asked softly.
"Mmm... it's over."
Scáthach flicked the tip of her spear, and Hassan's corpse turned into dust and scattered. The nearby mortals finally realized their own deaths and returned to the underworld.
Wind King's Eyes, Bloodsucking Scythe, and Lightning Pool once again swept towards Scáthach and Bond, but were also destroyed by the light cannon from Scáthach's spear tip.
"I said... it's over."
Scáthach looked at these weaklings. Ordinary Incantations were merely a means for these Hassans to add a bit of attack power. Before top-tier Heroic Spirits, wielding wind and thunder was hardly powerful.
In Scáthach's eyes, only the 128x Godspeed from before was slightly noteworthy. If she hadn't unleashed her suppressed power, she truly would have watched her Master die in front of her, and then been forced to withdraw.
In just a few seconds, the remaining Hassans were all executed by Scáthach.
At this moment, another shadow emerged from the ground, accompanied by the sound of applause. Steve Rogers ignored the demonic spear Scáthach had already pointed at his heart and asked, "Do you want to cooperate with my Master? No matter how much you accelerate time, you can't achieve the effect of time stopping."

Hayasaka Ai received the news of those Hassans' deaths in her mind, feeling a bit silent.
Shinomiya Kaguya noticed this, had a bad premonition in her heart, rubbed her face, and asked, "It couldn't have already failed, could it?"
How long had it been since she ordered Hayasaka Ai to command Hassan of the Hundred Faces?
Had it been a few seconds?
"The Hassan who awakened Instant reached 128x speed at the seventh tier on his first use..."
Hayasaka Ai suppressed her disbelief and continued, "And that Heroic Spirit, she actually reacted under such Godspeed, unleashed her Noble Phantasm, and killed Hassan. The Godspeed was too fast; I haven't figured out the specific situation here, and the other Hassans nearby have also died by her hand."
"Is this reasonable?" Shinomiya Kaguya rubbed her face irritably, the warm sensation dispelling the restlessness in her heart. "She could react to 128x speed? Could it be that her Agility is an unpredictable EX?"
"I don't know. The Shinomiya family has no precedent of summoning this purple-haired Heroic Spirit in the Holy Grail War, and this Heroic Spirit should be angry. Perhaps she didn't use her full power in the previous battle with the Hero King."
Although Hayasaka Ai's words contained too many guesses, they also proved a lot of information.
A Heroic Spirit who had never appeared in the Holy Grail War before was equivalent to a limited SR in the prize pool. As is well known, limited characters are generally stronger than permanent characters.
This was only from the perspective that this Heroic Spirit had never appeared in the Holy Grail War. If she had actually participated in the Holy Grail War but was not recorded by the Shinomiya family, then the problem would be even greater.
Information, that was something only living people could bring back.
If she had appeared, but the Shinomiya family had no record, it meant that this Heroic Spirit had won all her battles and left no players alive.
"It doesn't matter. What does it matter how angry she is? Anyway, this is a life-and-death war to begin with."
Although she felt a little flustered, Shinomiya Kaguya still put on a brave face and said it. She was the young lady of the Shinomiya family, and her maid, Hayasaka Ai, was watching from beside her. She couldn't show any fear.
Moreover, she was determined to win this Holy Grail War. The higher the level, the stronger the worldviews she encountered, and the more bizarre modes she encountered. Shinomiya Kaguya's sequence was A, and she also wanted to become an S-rank sequence.
Only these ancient families who had toiled for generations in the Paradise knew what a player with an S prefix in their player number represented.
"So why did LV3 come to the Fate world, and encounter such a bizarre mode!"
"Which guy caused this, after all!"
Her expression couldn't change, Shinomiya Kaguya roared endlessly in her heart.

"Hello, I am a Heroic Spirit transformed from a hero of another world. I used to be a good captain who protected the world, defended Earth, fought aliens, and later even became the President of New America."
Steve Rogers, emerging from the shadows, showed his perfectly white teeth and smiled as he introduced his origins to Scáthach.
"I can see lies, and every word you speak hides a foul stench."
Scáthach said bluntly, raising the tip of her spear, showing no pleasant expression at all.
"Oh, you should have said you could detect lies sooner."
"You made me so embarrassed."
Steve Rogers picked at the meat fibers in his teeth with his finger, his eyes full of malice as he asked, "Do you want to cooperate with me?"
