Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 57 Old Bug: As long as we can reach that place...

“Maiya, how are you doing over there?”

Looking at the Matou residence which had been completely reduced to ruins, Emiya Kiritsugu observed the scene through a scope while contacting his assistant Hisau Maiya to inquire about the situation.

"There was no movement until the last thirty-second floor. The target did not escape from the building."

Maiya briefly reported everything she saw into the microphone at her lips. Although she had just witnessed earth-shattering destruction, there was no excitement in her voice.

"Very good, I'm almost done here too, we'll meet 'there' later."

After hearing Hisau Maiya's report, Emiya Kiritsugu nodded with satisfaction. Regarding the two terrorist attacks he had planned tonight, his heart was as calm as dead water, without even a trace of guilt or remorse.

Because from a long time ago, Kiritsugu believed that there was no distinction in sacrifice and all lives were equal.

Therefore, he was accustomed to calculating all lives with equal value and choosing the path with less sacrifice. Under such judgment, neither women nor children received any special treatment.

What's more, using the Holy Grail can save the world, and Kayneth is the person he has to eliminate in order to obtain the Holy Grail.

There are approximately a thousand guests staying at the Hyatt Regency Fuyuki, and the number of people that the Holy Grail can save is at least five billion.

If necessary, Kiritsugu Emiya could kill all these tenants and Kenneth together.

Then why did he arrange for Maiya to set fire before the explosion to cause such a commotion?

Because Kiritsugu thought this was a very reasonable strategy. This fake play was to make Kenneth wary of the enemy's attack and adopt a closed-door strategy to prevent him from discovering the existence of other traps.

In fact, this strategy did work. According to Maiya's report, the genius magician was proud of his iron wall, but he didn't expect that the entire floor would be destroyed and he would still be trapped inside.

As for the innocent passers-by who were caught up in the fight and harmed, Emiya Kiritsugu did not care about their life or death.

As long as the Holy Grail can be obtained and the wish to save all mankind can be fulfilled, these are just necessary sacrifices.

Kiritsugu, who had been operating in various war zones for the past nine years, had a heart as cold as that of a chef who had been slaughtering fish at RT-Mart for ten years.

"Now that Berserker and Lancer have been dealt with, the only ones left are Rider and Caster's Master. We still have to make a long-term plan..."

After confirming that the attack just now had successfully eliminated the master of the Matou family, Kiritsugu Emiya placed the sniper rifle in his hand into a box beside him, then put the gun box on his shoulder, stood up and walked down the stairs.

He was preparing to leave here and go to another base to meet up with Hisahi Maiya to discuss the next tactics to deal with Weber and Kamiya Yu.

…………

Just when Emiya Kiritsugu thought his plan had been a complete success, a short figure suddenly appeared in the shadows about a street away from the ruins of the Matou family.

"What a damn lunatic! He even resorted to such despicable means to achieve victory!"

After punching the cold wall hard, a look of fear appeared on the young face of "Matou Shinji", and he cursed under his breath while gnashing his teeth.

In order to survive the explosion just now, he sacrificed almost all the bugs in the bug warehouse, and even the Berserker used as a meat shield was seriously injured.

"No, this Holy Grail War is too dangerous. It seems we have no choice but to give up early..."

Watching the crowd gathering by the roadside, Matou Zouken took a deep breath. Though he felt extremely reluctant, he had decided to withdraw from this Holy Grail War. One cannot hang oneself on a tree. Sixty years was a mere time, and he could afford to wait.

Because the underground insect warehouse was destroyed in the previous explosion, Zouken Matou had to transfer his body into the body of "Shinji Matou".

The old bug is now at his most vulnerable, and any magician can easily kill him.

Therefore, Matou Zouken was afraid. At this moment, he had an inexplicable premonition - if he continued to participate, he would really be killed by other masters.

"...the church...now we must seek refuge in the church..."

After suppressing the fear of death in his heart, Matou Zouken seemed to have grasped the last straw of life, and a gleam of light appeared in his blue eyes.

There is an unwritten rule in the Holy Grail War that if a Master wants to withdraw from the Holy Grail War to save his life, he can give up the contract with the Servant and go to the Church for asylum.

Realizing this, Matou Zouken no longer hesitated. His body turned into shadow and walked towards another relatively remote path.

For Matou Zouken, who has lived in Fuyuki City for hundreds of years, no one knows the structure of Fuyuki City better than him.

The old bug quickly shuttled through the streets and alleys and rushed towards the cathedral church in the suburbs.

However, when passing through a quiet street, Zouken Matou had to stop and put himself on high alert.

Following his gaze, he saw a figure carrying a scarlet magic spear standing at the end of the street, as if waiting for someone.

"...Yo, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Matou Zouken."

Seeing the blue-haired little boy appearing on the other end, Kamiya Yu gave him a kind smile, but the words he said next made Matou Zouken feel cold all over.

"I don't know. Are you ready to report to hell?"

Feeling the undisguised murderous intent of the man in front of him, Matou Zouken swallowed nervously, but in order to survive, he could only force a smile.

"I have already renounced my eligibility to participate in the Holy Grail War. I beg the head of the Kamiya family to spare me."

"As for my previous offense against you, I am willing to offer all the assets of the Matou family as compensation."

"No need." Faced with the old bug begging for mercy, Kamiya You shook his head indifferently, then swung the magic spear in his hand, pointing the tip of the spear, which was flashing with cold light, at him, "Using your life as an apology is enough."

Hearing the words of the silver-haired young man, Matou Zouken's face suddenly changed. He knew that if he couldn't deal with the person blocking his way, this would probably be his burial place.

Therefore, the old bug silently raised his right hand engraved with the command seal and quickly gave an order in his heart.

"In the name of the Command Seal, Berserker, eliminate the enemy before me!"

The next moment, a knight wearing black armor and shrouded in resentment appeared in front of Zouken Matou, holding a magic sword engraved with fairy characters.
