Chapter 1442: Fighting against 50 Heroic Spirits
Fuyuki City, behind a mountain.
âSo, we wonât be meeting tonight?â
Hinagiku and Mikoto confirmed the content of the deal with Wu Yan.
âYeah, we agreed that separately moving would be the best.â
âI donât want a kid jumping me after I am done with a fight.â
âIt feels bad to put my blade to a girlâs neck.â
âBut, we will have to fight sooner or later.â
âMiyu and Illya will most likely face us for the cards.â
âYeah, we are the villains of this story.â
Hinagiku looked at the shining city below.
âTheyâre fighting another spirit somewhere else, right?â
âRin didnât say where she would go. I told her to not come here since we booked this spot.â
âOnce we go in, we can try reaching their location through the Mirror Worlds.â
âThat would render your agreement null and void. They would suspect weâre trying to ambush them in the Mirror Worlds.â
âFine, let them run around first. We will steal the cards when the time comesâŠâ
âYeah, that is a classic villainâs line.â
Wu Yan slapped his cheeks.
âItâs time, get ready to move out.â
The two ladies moved to his side.
A series of magic formations wrapped the three up.
They couldnât tell the directions as the lights flickered around them.
When they came to, they were in a place with a pale shade of moonlight lighting up the place.
A pale blue mist permeated the woodland area they were in.
Mikoto flashed with lightning.
âWhere are the enemies?â
Hinagiku raised her crystal sword Shirosakura.
âSomething isnât right.â

Wu Yan took the vanguard.
âI sense something weird in the air.
A silhouette flashed past the foliage of the trees.
She struck the tree with a lightning bolt.
The bolt missed the shadowy figure as it hid one more time by jumping into the bushes. The tree that got hit with her bolt was charred black.
Wu Yan narrowed his eyes.
âI canât feel its presence.â
The wood turned silent as an eerie vibe descended.
Hinagiku backed away slightly.
âDonât be influenced.â
Wu Yan grabbed her cold hand.
âIt is just a Heroic Spirit with presence concealment. It isnât a ghost or anything.â
Hinagiku calmed herself down.
âA sneaky Heroic Spirit, it can only be that one⊠â
Wu Yan scanned the surrounding.
âSpeed, presence concealment, and agility, this sneak attack type points to the traits of an Assassin-class Heroic Spirit.â
âIt is out of luck against us.â
âHinagiku, Mikoto, use your Systemâs scan.â
No matter how fast, no matter how sneaky, and no matter the rank of their Presence Concealment, the System can pick them up.
The three stood together as they scanned the area.
In an instant, the System picked up on lifeforms nearby.
They scanned the Assassin.
Heroic Spirits are like the manifestation of the beliefs in mythological and historical beings.
The greater the merit, the wider the fame, and the stronger these Heroic Spirits become.
Assassins do things in the dark and they never gain much fame for their work. People usually donât remember their names either.
These spirits tend to be weaker spirits due to having lower fame than other spirits.
They have to rely on Noble Phantasms and special skills to win.
Hinagiku and Mikoto expected the Assassin this time to be weaker than Medusa.
Surprisingly, there isnât just one Assassin here.
They picked up 50 assassins in this area.
Hinagiku and Mikoto tensed up.
âDonât think too much. There is only one spirit for each Class Card.â
âThe System is picking up these many signatures because the Assassin used its Noble Phantasm.â
âA noble phantasm did this?â
âOkay, theyâre just clones but they can still hurt us.â
â50 peak tier 7 assassin heroic spirits?â
Mikoto stretched as she spawned lightning around her.
âJust how I liked it.â
Sinister dark figures emerged from behind the trees nearby.
