The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 226 The fisherman gets a profit
Tōsaka Tokiomi has always been known for his calmness and wisdom. In this fierce battle, his eyes are like a falcon, always looking for the opponent's flaws.

He keenly seized a fleeting flaw and launched a counterattack without hesitation.

He danced his hands, magic power surged, and a raging flame roared like an angry dragon and shot towards Matou Kariya.

The flames were so hot that the air was burned and distorted wherever they passed.

Matou Kariya reacted quickly.

"Firebugs!"

A group of strange insects emerged from the ground. These insects emitted a strange light, their shells were as hard as iron, and they were extremely resistant to fire magic.

The flames hit the barrier formed by insects, making a dull sound and sending sparks flying.

However, the bugs held their line firmly and successfully blocked the ferocious flames.

When Tōsaka Tokiomi saw that his attack missed, he was not discouraged but continued to attack.

There was a determined glint in his eyes, and his hands kept changing magical gestures.

At this moment, "Bang!" a gunshot suddenly rang out, breaking the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

Tohsaka Tokiomi felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He looked down and saw that his right hand was hit by a bullet.

The powerful impact caused his right palm to be smashed into pieces and covered in blood.

The cane in his hand also fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Even after suffering such severe trauma, Tōsaka Tokiomi remained calm.

His mind raced, thinking about the current situation.

[It's a sniper rifle. The only one who uses firearms is the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu.]

He instantly identified the attacker's identity.

At this time, Matou Kariya had not yet reacted to what had happened.

"Bang~Bang~" After two gunshots,
Matou Kariya fell to the ground in pain.

His knee was broken and bleeding.

He struggled to dodge, but felt a chill on his neck.

"Don't move." A cold voice sounded, and Saber's sword was already on his neck.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tōsaka Tokiomi took the opportunity to run to the nearby woods, trying to find a chance to escape.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he was forced back by Emiya Kiritsugu, who pointed a gun at him.

It turned out that they were attracted by the noise made by Wes.

Not expecting to meet Matou Kariya and Tōsaka Tokiomi here, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately made a plan to capture them alive.

With his calm mind and excellent tactical arrangements, he made the plan go smoothly.

Finally, he used the Einzbern family's tools to seal the magic power in the two people's bodies and successfully controlled the situation.

Emiya Kiritsugu pressed his gun against Matou Kariya's head, his eyes cold and sharp.

"Where's Alice?"

His voice was low and oppressive.

However, at this time, Matou Kariya ignored Emiya Kiritsugu.

His gaze passed over Emiya Kiritsugu and stared closely at the disheveled Tōsaka Tokiomi. He sneered loudly, "I never thought you would end up like this." At this moment, he felt extremely refreshed, as if years of resentment had been released at this moment.

Seeing the once high and mighty Tōsaka Tokiomi now in such a miserable state, Matou Kariya felt filled with pleasure.

"Bang!!" Emiya Kiritsugu shot Kiri Kariya in the thigh with his gun without hesitation.

There was no trace of mercy on his face.

"Answer my question," he repeated.

"Hehe." Matou Kariya let out a creepy laugh, filled with madness and provocation. "Is this all you can do?"

His tone was full of disdain; Emiya Kiritsugu's torture was nothing to him.

When the imprinting worms are implanted in your body, the pain of being bitten by the worms all over your body is much more painful than being shot.

Those bugs crawled freely in his body, gnawing at his flesh and soul. The pain was unimaginable for ordinary people.

Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes became even colder. He took out a dagger without hesitation and stabbed it into Matou Kariya's abdomen, then kept stirring it.

Cold sweat broke out on Matou Kariya's forehead and his face turned pale, but his eyes were still full of stubbornness.

"That's exciting enough."

Emiya Kiritsugu pointed the gun at Matou Kariya's head again, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.

"Shoot! Shoot now if you have the guts!" Matou Kariya roared loudly, his eyes full of madness and provocation.

Kiritsugu Emiya was caught in a dilemma. He knew that if he fired a shot, he might never find Alice's whereabouts; but if he didn't shoot, Matou Kariya would not easily reveal Alice's location.

"It's useless," Tōsaka Tokiomi said at the side. "He survived the transformation of the Matou family's seal worms. Ordinary punishments have no effect on him at all. Besides, he can only survive for two months at most."

A complex emotion flashed in Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes. He felt a little sympathy for Matou Kariya's experience, but also felt helpless about his madness.

How could a person who is destined to die be afraid of death? Tōsaka Tokiomi knew this very well. He knew that Emiya Kiritsugu's actions were futile.

Matou Kariya roared with laughter, his laughter filled with madness and despair. "That's right, if you want to know your wife's whereabouts, kill him!"

Matou Kariya pointed at Tōsaka Tokiomi with his right hand, his eyes full of provocation.

He knew that Emiya Kiritsugu would not kill Tōsaka Tokiomi easily because he still needed to get more information from Tōsaka Tokiomi.

But he also knew that his life was almost over, and he wanted to use this final moment to fully avenge Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Of course, Emiya Kiritsugu would not kill Tōsaka Tokiomi so easily. After all, he still had a lot of important information to obtain from Tōsaka Tokiomi.

He put away his gun and took out a stun gun from his pocket.

Without hesitation, he placed the stun gun against Matou Kariya's body and pressed the switch.

In an instant, a powerful electric current passed through Matou Kariya's body. His body trembled violently, and then he lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the unconscious Matou Kariya without any sympathy in his heart.

Just when he was about to deal with Tōsaka Tokiomi in the same way, an accident suddenly happened.

A masked man suddenly appeared behind him, like a ghost, without making a sound.

The man's movements were extremely agile, and he held a sharp dagger in his hand, which flashed coldly in the dim light.

He swung the dagger towards Emiya Kiritsugu's neck without hesitation, at such a speed that the man had no time to react.

[When.] Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was filled with shock and confusion.
