Fate/Type: I Am the Assassin!

"Crack!"

"Ah!! My hand! My hand!!"

Blackbeard knelt, clutching his arm. The right hand that had been with him for countless days and nights was now twisted at a horrifying angle.

"Hand over the Holy Grail." Mo Shuying said coldly.

Blackbeard's cries of pain stopped. He looked up at Mo Shuying, his eyes filled with terror.

"You! How did you know?!" He had kept the Holy Grail's existence a secret, never expecting this outsider, Mo Shuying, to know about it.

"That's none of your business. Hand over the Holy Grail, or I'll break your other hand too."

Mo Shuying's gaze fixed on Blackbeard's other hand. Blackbeard shivered. He'd already lost one hand; if the other broke too, what would he do at night?!

"No, no, no! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!" Blackbeard trembled, scooting back a bit with his backside, then reached for his chest. A circle of light shimmered, and then a golden cup appeared, the Holy Grail.

"Smart move." Mo Shuying smiled faintly. That's it, how good it is to be obedient, saves you suffering.

However.

Just as Mo Shuying reached for the Holy Grail, Blackbeard's eyes suddenly turned vicious. He spun around and threw the Holy Grail away!

"Hm?"

Mo Shuying used Flash and caught the Holy Grail just before it fell into the sea. Immediately after, he saw the Queen Anne's Revenge suddenly erupt with a powerful Mana! Then the entire ship abruptly lifted off the sea, flying into the sky at an astonishing speed, and vanished.

"...Well, I guess that's what a flying ship is, right?"

Mo Shuying hadn't expected Blackbeard's ship to fly, like the Thousand Sunny. After using Flash, he had no skills to pursue, but thankfully, the Holy Grail was in his hands.

Mo Shuying picked up the Holy Grail, preparing to give it to Mash. Although many events in the story hadn't happened yet, as long as the Holy Grail was in hand, the plot didn't matter.

However.

"Huh?"

Mo Shuying frowned. He realized that the golden cup in his hand was truly just a golden cup! This was a... fake Holy Grail!

"..."

Mo Shuying's expression darkened. He turned and flew towards Vimana. Once on board, he casually tossed the cup to Mash.

"A Holy... Holy Grail?" Mash was a little surprised, but Mo Shuying shook his head.

"Fake."

"Ah?" Mash examined the cup in her hand. Indeed, there wasn't a trace of Mana; it was just an ordinary cup.

"To think I was tricked by that Blackbeard fellow. Hmph, don't let me catch you again, or else..." Mo Shuying sat in the captain's seat, his voice deep. Child Gil, beside him, was very sensible. At times like these, it was best to speak less to avoid trouble.

"Let's go, back to the Golden Hind." Mo Shuying glanced at Marie lying on the ship. Actually, it wasn't a complete loss...

The Queen Anne's Revenge flew far away, arcing gracefully through the air before crashing back onto the sea.

Flying the ship consumed an immense amount of Mana. Blackbeard lay listlessly on the deck, his right hand deformed.

"Hiss! Ow ow ow..." Blackbeard moved and felt sore all over, especially his right hand, which was his favorite!

"Bastard, bastard, bastard! That bastard, you just wait! My great Lord Blackbeard won't let you off! Hehehehe! Want the Holy Grail? Dream on! Go enjoy your fake, you fool!!"

Blackbeard reached into his pants, fumbled for a while, then pulled out a shimmering golden cup. The cup emanated Mana, distorting the surrounding space. This was the true Holy Grail.

"Holy Grail, oh Holy Grail! Can you heal my wounds first?" Blackbeard caressed the Holy Grail with his finger, making a wish, but unfortunately, the Holy Grail ignored him.

"Tch, what a useless thing. Fine, I'll just summon more Servants. Marie's captured, Anne's useless... Wait? Hehehe! Is this the perfect time to do whatever I want?!"

Blackbeard turned his head to look at Anne, who lay nearby. He had been coveting her fiery figure for a long time.

Now, finally, he had his chance. So Blackbeard gritted his teeth and stood up, carrying the Holy Grail towards Anne. Once he reached Anne, he felt the Holy Grail was a hindrance with only one hand free, so he bent down and placed it on the ground. Then, he reached out his wicked hand towards Anne! And then!

"Pfft!"

"Ugh..."

A long spear pierced Blackbeard's chest, destroying his Spirit Origin.

Blackbeard struggled to turn his head, a mouthful of old blood spewing from his mouth. He saw that harmless-looking old man's face.

"Lord Hector, why?"

Blackbeard couldn't believe it. His own Servant was killing him? Wasn't this self-destruction? Without a Master, a Servant would quickly disappear.

"Why… Heheheh…"

Hector, holding his spear, pushed Blackbeard aside. He bent down to pick up the Holy Grail, a triumphant smile on his face.

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, Teach."

Hector twisted the spear in his hand, completely mangling Blackbeard's internal organs.

"You… you'll disappear too…"

Blackbeard stared deeply at Hector. He couldn't understand why Hector had suddenly ambushed him at the end.

Hector pulled out his spear, flicked the blood off, and turned around, saying coolly,

"I won't disappear. To tell you the truth, I have a Master. He was my Master from the very beginning. Following you was just to get the Holy Grail in the end. Look at you now, hah, how pathetic. Since you're so pitiful, I'll tell you one more thing."

Hector leaned close to Blackbeard's ear and whispered,

"My King also has his eye on Euryale, and he'll definitely get her. You, a hated pirate, should just make your exit quickly, so you don't get in our way."

Hector kicked him again, then decided it was enough. He looked back at the sea, where a sailboat with a goddess figurehead was rapidly approaching.

"Ugh…"

Blackbeard watched as Hector, with his Holy Grail, jumped onto that ship. On the ship, a blond man smiled at him, seemingly polite, but Blackbeard saw endless contempt in his eyes.

"Heheh… So I've been messing up all along…"

With that, Blackbeard faded away.

As Blackbeard disappeared, Anne and Marie didn't last much longer, vanishing along with the Queen Anne's Revenge.

Mo Shuying was about to wake Marie up and interrogate her, but when he saw Marie turn into points of light and disappear, he froze.

"What's going on? Could it be…?"

Could Blackbeard be dead?

Mo Shuying thought this, but had no other evidence.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, seeing Mo Shuying frown, thought for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Mo, what should we do next?"

Mo Shuying paused, then looked up at the Golden Hind, which was now severely damaged.

At this moment, Mo Shuying remembered something: after Blackbeard, the enemy would become Jason. As the most ancient mariner, Jason's Gorgon was even more powerful than Blackbeard's ship. The current Golden Hind would be useless against it.

It seems it was time to reinforce the Golden Hind.
