Assassin of Black and Berserker of Red

When the night came, the atmosphere of Bucharest changed along with it.

From calm noon, it turned into a dead silent night.

Whether it was the center, corner, or rather every place in this town, all the human breath had completely disappeared, and there was only a dead city as if no one lived on it, giving off the horror and scary atmosphere.

In such a situation, no one dared to leave their house.

The people in this town seemed to be able to feel there was something weird within the town so they decided to stay in their houses and slept early.

However, it was a very strange phenomenon.

As the capital of Romania, even in the middle of the night, it was abnormal for this city to be so deserted like this.

However, no one noticed it.

Haru noticed it, but for ordinary people, no one knew what had happened in Bucharest.

After parting with Fiore, Haru walked around an urban area, looking at the quiet town while yawning. It was so quiet and only the sound of footsteps was heard within the vicinity. In his hand, there was a covrigi which was known as Romania pretzel.

The taste was so so, but it was good enough to wake him up since walking in this place alone was so boring.

"So a barrier has been set?"

In order to avoid ordinary people getting involved in this Holy Grail war, Fiore had been walking on the streets before the start of the plan along with Chiron to set up the barrier.

Under the influence of the barrier, the people in Bucharest would all stay inside their houses, hiding and sleeping, even if there was a big commotion at night, they wouldn't come out from their houses no matter what.

Only a master and servant could walk without being affected by the effect of the barrier.

"Caules probably also helped set up the barrier?"

Haru didn't think that it was possible for Fiore to set up such a huge barrier alone even with Chiron's assistance. Setting up a barrier was very hard work and it was impossible to do it in a very short time.

Before parting ways from them, Caules had told them that he would help them by his own way, realizing his older sister's intention, he would immediately act in secret.

"But still..."

Even with Caules, Haru didn't think that they would be able to set up a barrier in the entire city so quickly.

"Should the Magus from Yggdmillennia also help them? Or is it the Magus from Red Faction?"

If it was the first possibility then it was alright, but if the second possibility then it would be pretty much troublesome.

However, even if it was a second possibility, it didn't really matter since he could detect pretty much every presence in one kilometer around his surroundings.

'Dear, be careful, alright? You shouldn't lower your guard.'

Raikou reminded Haru since he was too relaxed which made her helpless.

'Don't worry, no one can escape from my detection, but still, if you can't see me so suddenly, don't panic, alright?'

'Dear, did you notice the servant's presence?'

'Not yet.'

Raikou was sure that Haru had a lot of abilities which made her helpless. 'Dear, when we get back, tell me all of your abilities, alright?'

'Un.'

In this street, it seemed that it was only Haru who was walking, but in fact, Raikou had taken precautions by standing on the tall place, staring at him, pulling the string of his bow, and ready to shoot her arrow as long as an enemy appeared around him.

In truth, Haru was lying to Raikou since he noticed the presence of a servant that was moving toward his direction. His "Kenbunshoku Haki" was a very cheating ability, even if Assassin had a "concealment presence" ability or a servant was in their astral form, he could detect them easily using his "Kenbunshoku Haki".

Haru wanted to end this battle as soon as possible and he didn't want to hurt a loli so he had made up a plan to defeat Assassin.

Suddenly a cold night wind began to blow from afar, swaying across the street.

However, the wind wasn't the only one that blew in Haru's direction.

Along with the howling of the wind, Haru's vision was suddenly interrupted by a white fog that came along.

Haru stopped his movement since the white mist came toward him like an avalanche, instantly engulfing him and covering the surrounding area.

Bucharest's weather was foggy tonight.

---

"Fog?"

On the top of the bell tower, Raikou, who was taking a shooting stance, clearly saw a mist coming and trapped her son.

Seeing her son instantly shrouded inside the mist and lost his whereabouts, Raikou's expression changed in an instant!

Then Raikou realized that mist wasn't a normal mist!

Because the mist came suddenly, and in such good weather, why was there a mist so suddenly?

Raikou also sensed a familiar breath from the mist.

Curse, resentment, hatred, and various negative emotions mixed within the mist which made her wary.

"Is this the Assassin of Black?"

Raikou retracted his bow without hesitation.

With her vision being taken, there was no way that Raikou could shoot her arrow.

If it was Chiron who had clairvoyance and Eye of the Mind (True), then it was possible, however, Raikou didn't have such a support skill, and she couldn't use his bow when everything was surrounded by mist.

"Dear!!!"

Raikou knew that the situation wasn't critical since Haru didn't use his Command Spell to summon her, even so, she would rush toward him without hesitation!

Unfortunately, her plan was interrupted by a sudden attack.

"Are you an oppressor?"

A very loud sound which caused a lot of annoyance on her heart was heard by Raikou's ears.

"Hahahaha!"

Then a burst of loud laughter sounded, and a huge black shadow approached Raikou with very fast speed.

Without any hesitation, Raikou jumped up directly.

In the next second, a huge black shadow smashed into the top of the tower bell with a howling roar.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The heavy impact caused a huge shockwave, the black shadow smashed the bell tower into pieces!

Debris, shard, and various things dropped from the bell tower and landed on the street, generating a crackling sound.

Raikou fell from the midair and stood on the street.

At the same time, at the top of the bell tower, a huge black shadow jumped down and fell in front of Raikou!

*BOOOOM!!*

Another heavy impact left the ground underneath a huge black shadow shattered and cracked, causing strong shockwaves and scattering dust on surrounding areas.

"HAHAHAHA!!!"

Loud laughter was heard from inside, then a sword swept away the dust, pushing all the dust by the wind which was produced by sword swing

Raikou frowned since she saw her enemy for the first time.

The "pure muscle," were the only words that could truly do him justice. His skin was so pale that no one would think that this person was a human, but rather a walking corpse.

Looking at this muscular man, Raikou understood everything.

"Are you the Berserker of Red?"

In front of Raikou's question, the man only laughed loudly.

"Ahh! I feel it! Yes! I feel it! You're the strong man who holds the power! The oppressor who looks down on the weak!"

The Berserker of Red opened his mouth and showed a creepy smile.

"Oppressor! The time has come! This is the time to destroy you! Hahahaha!"

It was impossible to communicate with the Berserker of Red since this man was crazy so without waiting any longer, no words were exchanged and only a sound of laughter was heard since he advanced directly toward Raikou.

On other hand, Raikou's expression gradually became colder since this man stopped her from coming toward her son!
