Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1299 Armistice
After all, if he died, it would be serious.

"What a country magician, using such a despicable method."

Kenneth, his fiancée Sora, and Diarmuid were all safe and sound under the protection of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, but Kiritsugu Emiya had already left.

So, Kenneth planned to go to the Einzbern family's castle estate in Fuyuki City.

But soon, due to the intervention of the Holy Church, the struggle between the two sides temporarily stopped.

The Cathedral Church, this ancient and solemn building, appears particularly quiet in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if even time has stopped here.

Kotomine Risei, dressed in a black priest robe, walked steadily into the empty church.

He gently straightened his collar, looked across the empty hall, and slowly spoke to the space in front of him that seemed empty but was actually full of undercurrents.

"Everyone, at this moment, the shadow of the Holy Grail War is looming over us, and an unprecedented crisis is quietly approaching."

Kotomine Risho said.

"According to the intelligence we have carefully collected, the Master of Caster who was chosen by the Holy Grail is the real culprit of the serial kidnapping case that has recently caused a huge wave in Fuyuki City."

Speaking of Ryunosuke Uryu, this name is like a bright star in the darkness of the Type-Moon world, even though its light is so evil and twisted.

Ryunosuke Uesugi is a killer who calls himself an artist pursuing the true meaning of death. His existence itself is an extreme challenge to life and morality.

Before becoming the Master, he was like a cunning cheetah. He planned every crime carefully, handled the scene flawlessly, and hid the evidence without a trace. Even the police's top detectives were helpless against him.

However, when the chosen light of the Holy Grail unexpectedly descended upon him, everything changed dramatically.

Ryunosuke Uryu summoned Caster, who was also known for his madness. This magician from ancient times was so cruel and had such twisted thinking that he was a perfect match for Ryunosuke Uryu.

No longer content with killing in secret, they began to use magic wantonly, turning Fuyuki City into a living hell.

Broken limbs and bloody scenes can be seen everywhere. This is a naked provocation to the police and a trampling on the entire social order.

The police were furious and a large number of police forces were dispatched to search the entire city for Ryunosuke Uryu.

However, this is an unprecedented disaster for the church.

The iron rules of the Holy Grail War clearly stipulate that the existence of magic must never be revealed to ordinary people.

No one dares to imagine what kind of social unrest will be caused once this secret is revealed.

Yanfeng Lizheng's expression was solemn, as he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

He must eliminate Ryunosuke Uesugi before the police find him, otherwise the entire church will face an unprecedented crisis.

At this moment, he was under tremendous pressure, as if the weight of the world was on his shoulders.

"During this extraordinary period, I must use my supervisory authority to temporarily change the rules."

Kotomine Risho said.

"All Masters, immediately cease all combat activities and go all out to destroy Caster and his Master. For those who have made contributions in the conquest, I will add a special Command Spell as a reward."

Speaking of this, Kotomine Li was slowly rolling up his sleeves, revealing the arm covered with Command Seals. Those Command Seals were like ancient runes, gleaming with mysterious light. For the Masters, they were supreme treasures and the key to controlling their destiny.

An entire arm of Command Seals is enough to drive any Master crazy.

After all, in the Holy Grail War, the number of Command Seals is directly related to the life and death of the Master.

Kenneth, a suspicious and insecure Master, was drooling over it.

He was always worried that his fiancée would betray him and have an affair with Lancer.

Therefore, he was undoubtedly very tempted by the reward proposed by Kotomine Rizheng.

"As soon as Caster is confirmed to be eliminated, the Holy Grail War will immediately resume."

Kotomine Risho said.

"So, do you have any questions?"

However, there was silence in the empty church, and no one responded to his question.

Because there is no one here at all, only those low-level demons - mice, crows, bats, etc., whispering in the corner, or those lifeless magical creations, standing quietly.

They represent their respective Masters to attend this invisible meeting and convey their Masters' will and decisions.

All of this is for the safety of the Masters themselves.

After all, in this world full of killing and betrayal, no one is willing to expose their whereabouts easily.

Kotomine Li was looking at this silent space.

"Since you have no objection, then it is settled."

Kotomine Ri was taking a deep breath.

Just as those familiars of various shapes and sparkling with subtle magic were preparing to quietly evacuate, shouldering the responsibility of delivering secret information about the supreme command of the Command Seal, a magical creature created by Tōsaka Tokiomi's superb magical skills, which seemed to embody his wisdom and will, suddenly broke the solemn atmosphere in the church with an elegant tone.

"My dear masters, I, the messenger of Tōsaka Tokiomi, would like to take this rare opportunity of the church meeting to start a far-reaching deal with you. I believe that everyone present has a premonition in their hearts. The deal I mentioned is for those who have increasingly crossed the line and challenged the rules in recent behavior..."

Those familiars stood silently, like loyal sentinels, without making the slightest sound.

They do not have the ability to speak, but they faithfully carry out their master's every will. Their eyes, which seem to be able to see through everything, now serve as windows for their masters to see the world, silently recording every fluctuation in the church.

They will meticulously bring back all the information that happens here, no matter how big or small, to their respective masters, because at such moments, the vision of the familiar is the vision of the master, and they bear the heavy responsibility of connecting the two worlds.

"If anyone is willing to give me a little trust, then please come according to the magic coordinates I left, and we will have a face-to-face negotiation there. Please rest assured, now under the protection of the armistice agreement, I, Tōsaka Tokiomi, guarantee with my honor that I will never set up any ambush and let the bridge of trust be tarnished..."

The church fell into a suffocating silence, with only the slight crackling sound of the flames jumping on the candlesticks in the distance. It seemed that even the air was frozen.

At this time, Kotomine Rizheng saw that his ally had finished speaking and immediately stood up. His eyes moved between each of the familiars and finally fixed on the magical creation.
