It seemed that the Hyatt Hotel was destined to collapse; it had escaped the Fourth Holy Grail War and Kisaragi Rin, but under Scáthach's simple direct thrust, it instantly disintegrated.
Although Scáthach is of the Lancer class, her magic does not disappear because of it.
[Primordial Runes] and [Wisdom of the Magic Mirror] brought about A-rank mundane evasion and cognitive rewriting, making the so-called rule that the extraordinary cannot be seen by humans truly laughable.
Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai on the other side didn't think so; they had just jumped out of the window when the Hyatt Hotel collapsed, and it was collapsing towards them.
The collapsing building cast a shadow, making Shinomiya Kaguya struggle to maintain her composed expression.
"Should I just use a Command Spell to summon Gilgamesh back?" Shinomiya Kaguya considered; at a moment like this, there was no need to pretend to be a young lady. She blurted out the question, seeking Hayasaka Ai's opinion.
"The ownership of the three Command Spells has long been determined. If they are used to recall Gilgamesh, the later stages of the battle might be very disadvantageous."
Hayasaka Ai quickly said, her gaze spreading around. As Shinomiya Kaguya's dedicated maid, her attributes focused on agility and intelligence. Through the Master-Servant connection, more and more Hassans were rushing towards them.
For example, a certain unnamed Hassan.
Word Spirit - Shadow Flow!
In the world of Dragon Raja, this Word Spirit can manipulate airflow to carry objects, such as flying knives.
And under the control of Hassan, who is a Heroic Spirit, the airflow carried Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai soaring upwards, quickly moving them out of the building's range.
With a loud boom, the thirty-two-story Hyatt Hotel was completely reduced to ruins today.
"The problem is, we don't even know if we'll have a chance to use Command Spells in the future."
Shinomiya Kaguya's The Soul of Tucao has been ignited; because they dared not land near the Lancer, Shadow Flow carried them rushing towards the sky.
Hayasaka Ai didn't reply; she was just a maid and could only offer her suggestions. Whether to recall Gilgamesh had to be Shinomiya Kaguya's own decision.
While Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated, Hayasaka Ai was observing the ground.
With the loud crash of the building's collapse, the battlefield once again fell silent, which meant that her Hassan could not stop Scáthach's movements at all.
Sweat trickled down her forehead. Hayasaka Ai didn't dare to think too much and was about to use another Command Spell immediately.
"I will use one Command Spell to unseal one of my Skills..."
Before she finished speaking, Hayasaka Ai stopped.
Because above the ruins, a purple-haired Heroic Spirit stood, her hair flowing in the wind.
Scáthach simply stood there, raising the magic spear in her hand and aiming it at Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, causing a stinging sensation in both their souls.
"Come down, I will not kill you."
Scáthach said calmly.
There was no need to consider; they had no choice.
Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath, choosing to let Hassan control Shadow Flow to descend.
Seeing that even Hassan, who used [Moment], died powerlessly from Scáthach's [Penetrating Death Flying Spear], Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai both understood that their Command Spells could not be faster than Scáthach's Noble Phantasm release.
"Why is such a terrifying Heroic Spirit appearing in this Holy Grail War!"
Shinomiya Kaguya complained, but her fingers unconsciously tightened around Hayasaka Ai's hand.
The situation was now clear: unless Gilgamesh suddenly returned on his own, their lives were in Scáthach's control.
And Gilgamesh?
Shinomiya Kaguya felt a bit desperate.
Despite having assumed victory upon her arrival, the situation had grown increasingly awry. Why are all the Heroic Spirits you summoned so strong!
Gilgamesh doesn't listen to commands, and Hassan of the Hundred Faces can't even fight other Heroic Spirits at all!
Standing before Scáthach, Shinomiya Kaguya, pulling Hayasaka Ai, bravely suppressed her panic, sighed lightly, and pretended to be calm as she stared into Scáthach's eyes, saying, "Perhaps we can communicate."
Seeing that Scáthach had no intention of refusing, Shinomiya Kaguya's thoughts eased, and she continued to speak to Scáthach, or rather, to the player behind her.
"I am from the Shinomiya family. Killing me will not benefit your Master in any way."
"Moreover, killing players in this game does not bring extra profit. If possible, I can use a Command Spell to unseal equipment items in exchange for two lives."
As long as the other party was a normal person, Shinomiya Kaguya was certain they couldn't refuse this.
After all, player grudges are very flexible, so what if Assassin acted earlier?
Anyway, you didn't die, and Hayasaka Ai and I are now captured by your Heroic Spirit.
So now, purer interests are what we should pursue.
If you kill me, you won't get a higher reward, and you'll be hunted by the Shinomiya family.
If you don't kill me, the Shinomiya family's friendship and the gain from equipment item cards are within reach.
Shinomiya Kaguya was only worried that Scáthach's Master was stubborn, insisting on killing her to feel satisfied over a minor grudge.
Facing Shinomiya Kaguya's proposal, Scáthach had no particular thoughts. Not to mention she hadn't planned on directly killing these two Masters to win, this proposal should be decided by Bond.
Automatically ignoring Shinomiya Kaguya, Scáthach looked at the silent Hayasaka Ai and commanded, "Use a Command Spell to recall all of Hassan of the Hundred Faces."
Upon hearing this command, Hayasaka Ai frowned deeply and looked at her Kaguya-sama. Scáthach's request to recall Hassan of the Hundred Faces naturally meant eliminating Assassin. If she actually did this, she would essentially be directly withdrawing from this game, and victory in the Holy Grail War would clearly be another step further away for them.
Hmm... even now, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai naturally wouldn't lose the idea of counterattacking.
What if they could turn the tables?
"No problem."
Shinomiya Kaguya decided.
In any case, they no longer had the right to choose.
As Shinomiya Kaguya agreed, Hayasaka Ai naturally had no objections and immediately raised her palm to activate the Command Spell.
"I will use one Command Spell to command you, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, to return to my side."
