"Throne?!"
The trio of Masters trembled at this shocking news.
They knew very well how strong the Thrones were. Lancer and Ruler were a good example of this.
Their strength was so overwhelming that they could suppress several first-level Servants by themselves.
Rin didn't forget how Lancer played with Gilgamesh and almost killed him.
And now Assassin had appeared!
And what was even more scandalous was that they didn't even know she was here. Neither Tiamat nor Scathach could detect her—only King Hassan could, a crowned one.

Gulp...
Rin felt her mouth dry and swallowed a bit of saliva from the shock...
Mukuro had already made Rin very afraid, but now...
This Assassin was stronger than Lancer!
So many abilities in the realm of God, and two Noble Phantasms that had surpassed God.
Besides...
Human Evil?
Double Summon?
Space/Time?
Demon King?
What was going on with Assassin?!
Wasn't she Eva? Why were there demons?!
And not only Rin thought the same. Illya and Luviagelita were also trembling. Unlike Mukuro, Kurumi had an innate fear-suppressing aura.
Her killer aura was something that couldn't be hidden...
"Ara~ ara~ it's very rude of you, girls. Are you perhaps afraid of me? I'm not going to eat you—although I admit you look delicious~"
Licking her lips in lust, Kurumi smiled sexily at Luviagelita and Illya, who shuddered at this.
"Don't come near!"
"AaaaAaa (Don't scare the children.)"
Scathach didn't hesitate to change her target and pointed her spear, while Tiamat spoke angrily.
"Hihihi, it was a joke~"
Clang
And it was just at that moment that King Hassan moved. His speed far exceeded that of mortals, and a sword impossible to see with the naked eye cut toward Kurumi's head. Scathach saw it, and so did Tiamat, but neither was willing to warn Kurumi.
Kurumi remained calm, and the shadows around her, as if they had a life of their own, rose and blocked Assassin's sword...
"Hihi, don't be so impatient, Mr. Assassin. It's not gentlemanly to interrupt a lady."
After Requiem had eaten the Gudodama, they fused with her shadows, thus granting her strength and defense beyond her Astral Dress.
And for Kurumi, her shadow was a kind of automatic defense. She didn't need to do anything, and the shadows would take shape and protect her.
Kurumi had understood this power well. Requiem was strengthening and swallowing more power to return to its maximum state, and Kurumi was part of this.
"Sinful woman, you have brought evil to humans."
"..."
Kurumi smiled at that, and without needing to do anything, her shadow changed shape, extending with sharp spikes...
King Hassan didn't hesitate and took distance, thus dodging the attack...
"Sinful, you say? Haaa~ it's true. I have sinned~... more than a human should have~..."
Killing more than 10,000 humans—that was her sin. Although in Date A Live they reset the world and her sins were just an illusion, that didn't matter. Kurumi never denied it and was also willing to bear this weight of human life.
"But I don't regret it~ this is what I did, and I'll do it again if necessary."
"You're a monster. You led the firstborn down the path of destruction. You're responsible for his fall."
Of course, for King Hassan, Kurumi's sins were different.
Kurumi had both the power of the Tree of Life and the Forbidden Tree.
This differentiated her from other Evas. She was that woman who was deceived by the serpent and ate the forbidden fruit.
If there was a woman who should be given the name 'Eve,' then it was her.
She was the root of all evil—the naive Eve who dragged her husband through the mud, and they were expelled from Eden.
The woman for whom Adam defied the Gods...
"Having an entire paradise wasn't enough for you, disobedient woman. From your cursed womb, all sins were born..."
If humans hadn't been expelled from Eden, then all the changes brought to this world would never have occurred—so many tragedies and all that pain.
For King Hassan, a protector of the Faith, Kurumi was everything he wanted to destroy.
And so he did. He moved quickly and attacked again...
"Ara~ ara~ am I hated?"
Kurumi smiled and jumped backward, thus falling in freefall from the giant rabbit's back. King Hassan didn't hesitate and pursued her, clashing again with the shadows.
BAM, BAM
The shockwaves and the speed at which they moved were so high that Yoshino had to move away to avoid getting caught up in it...
"Fuuu~ that was close."
With Kurumi and King Hassan gone, the group sighed in relief. To be honest, Kurumi gave them very bad vibes—not only the Masters but also Tiamat and Scathach.
