Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 66 Emiya Kiritsugu: My Lord, times have changed!

"I never thought the renowned King of Knights would collude with such a despicable villain and commit such an unjust act as a sneak attack. This truly belies the splendor of a knight."

In the spacious and luxurious hall, Finn spoke with a hint of sarcasm while skillfully wielding the purple spear.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and cast a spell, Saber's sword would have been a perfect split for his master.

It is an extremely shameful thing for any knight to have his lord almost killed in front of the enemy.

So, Finn also became serious and used words to provoke the opponent in front of him mercilessly.

"..."

However, in the face of Finn's ridicule, the old sword remained silent and just swung the sword blindly, slashing at the enemy's weak points.

Not only to repay Emiya Kiritsugu's kindness, but also for his own ideals, he had already decided to put aside the glory of being a knight and devote himself to the next battle.

No matter how despicable the means, as long as it is an order from the Master, Saber will obey without hesitation.

After all, only by winning the final victory in this Holy Grail War can he realize his wish to restore his country and change the fate of Britain's demise.

Seeing that his trash talk failed to shake his opponent, Finn's eyes changed slightly. Although he didn't know what had happened, he knew that the Knight King was completely different from before.

It was as if it had abandoned its former glory and completely become a cold-blooded and ruthless weapon.

However, even so, I will not lose.

Slightly gathering his scattered thoughts, Finn gripped the spear tightly in his hand and unleashed all the martial arts he had honed throughout his life.

Dangdangdang——!
The fighting movements of both sides could not be discerned with the naked eye. In just a few minutes, they had already fought hundreds of rounds.

Perhaps because their martial arts and strength were similar, neither of them gained a clear advantage. With another collision between the holy sword and the magic spear, the two sides once again distanced themselves from each other.

The originally luxurious and tidy hall gradually became dilapidated due to the battle between them. The hard marble floor was broken into stones of various sizes. The strong airflow formed by the collision of weapons swept around, instantly raising thick smoke and dust.

"The clear stream of Nuada!"

Keeping a relatively safe distance from the old sword, Finn raised the purple spear in his hand and released several streams of clear torrents from the tip of the spear.

Immediately afterwards, with the blessing of a large amount of magic power, these torrents suddenly bombarded the old sword not far away with unparalleled momentum.

As the Celtic's top hero, Finn not only possesses inhuman martial arts, but also has considerable attainments in magic. Coupled with his loyal character, he can be said to be the best servant that every Master dreams of.

boom!
The violent water flow hit the Star Holy Sword that the old sword used for defense, directly knocking it back several meters.

Before he could regroup and launch a counterattack, Finn suddenly appeared in front of him. Pushed by the current, he thrust out the spear in his hand with all his strength.

Looking at the purple magic spear within reach, the old sword subconsciously raised the Sword of Promised Victory again and used the sword body to block the sharp tip of the spear.

But under this terrifying impact, Saber flew backwards as if he was out of control, and did not stop even after crashing into the wall. He and Finn disappeared from the hall in the blink of an eye.

"AutonlatoporIunl quaerere (Automatic search for the enemy)."

Knowing that Finn had reserved a fighting area for him, Kenneth recited the spell without hesitation and let the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid under his feet search for the trace of Kiritsugu Emiya who was hiding in the castle.

…………

Meanwhile, although Emiya Kiritsugu was in the living room, he could still observe Kenneth's movements using the cameras installed in the dark corners of the hall. In order to find his whereabouts, Kenneth would probably start by searching each room on the first floor one by one.

The reception room where Kiritsugu was now was deep inside the second floor. As long as he acted immediately, he would still have time to choose a favorable location for the battle.

Kiritsugu pondered the castle layout he had memorized as he walked toward the door, intending to leave the living room—at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

There was a silk thread with a metallic luster hanging from the keyhole on the door. It was a drop of mercury. A tiny amount of mercury left a silver track on the door and dripped along the surface of the door.

The moment Kiritsugu noticed it, the mercury drop's dripping motion suddenly stopped. Then, like a living being, it flowed up the door, back into the keyhole, and disappeared without a trace.

"...I see. Is this automatic enemy detection?"

Just as Kiritsugu frowned and muttered to himself, a flash of silver light penetrated the carpeted living room floor.

In just a moment, the floor in the center of the room was cut into a circle and collapsed to the floor below, and then silver tentacles jumped out from the big hole in the floor.

The new form of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that appeared before Kiritsugu's eyes was like a metallic jellyfish, with countless tentacles climbing to the edge of the opening in the floor. The umbrellas at the base of the tentacles opened up into flat discs, providing a stable foothold for the owner.

The person standing there with a cruel smile on his face was none other than Kenneth, who had a big slicked-back blond hair and was dressed in classical aristocratic attire.

"Finally I found you, you dirty rat..."

However, before Kenneth could instruct Mercury to attack, Emiya Kiritsugu had already pulled out a small submachine gun from his waist holster and fired at Kenneth without mercy.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid reacted immediately and formed a protective film in front of Kenneth, blocking all the dense rain of bullets.

In just a few seconds, Kiritsugu emptied the magazine of his submachine gun.

Taking advantage of this brief period of fire suppression, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly chanted the spell and activated the incomplete magic seal on his body.

"Time alter-double accel (Inherent time control, double speed)!"

As the sound of the spell was chanted, the magic power in Kiritsugu's body began to surge violently.

"Scalp!"

As soon as the barrage of submachine gun bullets ended, Kenneth immediately issued a death notice. In response to the call, he stretched out two silver whips and attacked from both sides, making a sound of breaking through the air, trying to cut the prey standing not far away.

Just as the sharp mercury was about to hit the target, Emiya Kiritsugu dodged the silver whip's attack with unbelievable speed and quickly jumped down from the hole in the floor that had just been cut by the mercury blade.

"Oh? Do you know a little bit of magic?"

Although he couldn't see Emiya Kiritsugu's actions clearly, Kayneth knew that this was definitely the effect of some kind of magic.

However, after knowing that the other party was also a magician, the murderous intent in his heart became stronger.

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary rat, but no matter how much this person has been influenced by magic, he is still a despicable villain who uses dirty tricks.

For Kenneth, one of the leaders of the aristocratic faction, such an act of insulting a magician is absolutely intolerable.

"You damned bastard... die and pay for your sins."

Sorry, I have something to do today, so I can only update once for now.
