Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

Kiritsugu Emiya walked to the foot of another building and, in a secluded corner at the entrance of the corridor, took out a cello-like case.

"Prepare to snipe, Maimi."

Upon opening the violin case, the well-preserved gun parts lay quietly inside, which the magician assassin quickly assembled, transforming them into a dangerous weapon.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Kiritsugu Emiya raised his sniper rifle and coldly asserted:

"Even if Kenneth is dead, the Master Sakumozuki cannot be declared dead so easily."

"When that time comes, we will personally pierce his head."

Chapter 61 Kiritsugu's Murderous Trap

Minutes before the explosion.

(Automatic attack!)

"The night is silent, and my shadow will cover the world!"

Negative emotions surged, and the shadow of a giant, returning from nothingness, descended upon this place. After devouring all the demons and monsters, it crossed paths with the deadly mercury blades and rushed toward their respective targets.

However, the laser-like slashes were blocked by the chaotic space, and the imaginary giant lost its target, causing its attacks to miss.

After a brief respite, the two magicians performed their magic again:

(German: Start!)

! ”

The raging explosion of gems and the chaotic swords and halberds were destroyed together. The Yin-Yang twin swords, which shot out from the explosion, were stuck in the pillar-shaped mercury defense and could not move.

"No need for defense, automatic attack, what an advantageous fighting style. No wonder it is El-Melloi's supreme Mystic Code 'Moon Spirit Essence Liquid'."

"Likewise, the imaginary number magician who can summon giants from another dimension has probably already reached the level of color rank or even grand rank."

"Ha, I'm only good at fighting."

They exchanged lukewarm words, then smiled at each other, their eyes filled with the confidence and will to kill one another.

In the long lives of magicians, besides their persistent pursuit of the Root Vortex, there is at least the exchange of secret techniques among them, which adds a little color to their lives that can be seen at a glance.

Unfortunately, you can't expect these guys who haven't had nine years of compulsory education to have normal human thinking—the so-called secret arts exchange isn't a salon attended by socialites, with no cozy music and delicious food to enjoy.

Want to learn secret techniques? Sure!

Then risk your life, experience the power of magic with your own body. Those who survive the secret arts exchange will surely be one step closer to their dream!

Call it morbid or a form of cult, it's all just a means to get closer to the vortex of origin. Whether it's the secrets of magic or one's own life, in the eyes of orthodox magicians, they are all bargaining chips that can be traded at any time.

A magician is a creature like this.

In fact, Sakugetsu cannot be called a magician. He has no interest in the Vortex of Origin and only regards magic as a useful tool (like Kiritsugu). Such a person is just a mere magician—that is how self-proclaimed noble magicians often describe them.

Regardless of their differing philosophies, the magician Sakuyue and the magician Kenneth were genuinely enjoying the charm and joy of their magical encounters.

But a sudden explosion destroyed everything.

As if the earth itself had abandoned them, the unease from the violent shaking of the building rose from their feet, spreading throughout their bodies, and finally shattering like fragile glass.

"Rumble..."

The magically enhanced floor shattered instantly, its mysterious brilliance dimmed by the earth-shattering force, and the unsuspecting Shuoyue and Kenneth found themselves in a collapsing world.

Faced with deadly destruction, the two reacted differently.

Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief amidst his slight surprise, but quickly realized something and panicked. He hurriedly unleashed the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, clinging to the broken building materials, and rushed towards a certain room like a giant spider.

Shuoyue sighed without any attempt to hide it, her expression full of helplessness that "her Papa is being disobedient again." She then took a step forward and disappeared into the rhombus-shaped displacement space.

When he reappeared, he was already downstairs at the Hyatt Hotel, where two servants were anxiously waiting. Upon seeing Shuoyue appear, one of them revealed a joyful smile:

"Onii-chan, welcome back!"

"Yo, Miyu, I'm back." Shuoyue smiled and patted her little head, then turned to the anxious-looking girl and said, "Director Ken should be alright. With the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, he will definitely survive."

"Thank you, Shuoyue." After receiving a positive reply, Diarmuid relaxed, bid farewell to Shuoyue, and hurriedly left, clearly to aid his lord.

The young man and his sister, who remained where they were, looked at each other and smiled. However, before Shuoyue could say anything, a strange chill suddenly crept up his back.

The innate skill "Mind's Eye (True)" activates "Thousand-Mile Eye".

Eliminate interfering factors.

Lock onto the object, trace its trajectory, analyze the target, and you're done.

It's a sniper rifle bullet!

The gunman has been confirmed to be Kiritsugu Emiya.

The same caliber, suspected to be... the Origin Missile!

The target of the shooting was—

"Miyu!" Before she could even push the girl beside her away, a sharp pain shot through Sakuyue's hand.

There was no sound of a bullet piercing a human body, nor any blood. Miyu's pupils shrank as she stared at the suddenly appearing empty hand, momentarily forgetting to breathe.

But Sakugetsu didn't care about Miyu's reaction. He used his still intact left hand to pull his sister behind him, then stomped his foot heavily. A broadsword, comparable to a shield, descended from the sky and blocked between Emiya Kiritsugu and Sakugetsu.

Even he hadn't anticipated that Kiritsugu Emiya would kill him outright. He had cast a powerful suggestive spell on the personnel list and had the counter staff call out names that were incredibly painful for Kiritsugu Emiya—without anyone else intervening, Kiritsugu shouldn't have recovered so quickly!

However, the facts are the facts, and after the initial shock, one should do everything possible to rectify one's miscalculation. The young man, enduring the intense pain in his right hand, his golden eyes sharp, quickly considered the Magician Assassin's next move.

Due to his unique physical condition, Sakugetsu couldn't confirm whether the bullet was Kiritsugu's ultimate attack weapon, and for this reason, he had to consider both possibilities.

If this is indeed the Origin Bullet, then Kiritsugu's goal is to cripple Miyu and weaken my combat power. Even I would find it difficult to survive in this Holy Grail War without my Servant... So he must have started to retreat. Kiritsugu knows very well how terrifying I would be in a state of rage.

But if this isn't the Origin Bullet... I know that the Origin Bullet poses a threat to mages, and even Servants can't be immune to it. Miyu's Sapphire Mystic Code is very important and must not be destroyed, so she definitely wouldn't dare to gamble on that possibility... And Kiritsugu's target could never be a Servant, it could only be... me!

This man knew from the beginning that I would take the bullet for Miyu!

Since Kiritsugu has considered this point, then his attack is not so simple; he will definitely use it to achieve his goal... The question is, what is his goal?

Recalling everything he had done: using his hand, which was wrapped in a magic-enhancing spell, to block the attack, to protect Miyu, to set up a defensive line to block his sniper's line of sight... his actions were so smooth and fluid that there shouldn't have been anything wrong with them.

A cool breeze blows at night, bypassing the protective barrier created by the new moon and coming from the other three sides.

The defenses of the new moon are not impenetrable.

And Kiritsugu Emiya wasn't acting alone; besides him, there was another woman who would definitely come here—

"Oh no, Hisayuu Maiya!" Sakutsuki turned around hurriedly, but it was too late.

As if sensing the new moon's panic, Kiritsugu Emiya revealed a slight, cold smile.

You're still too green, kid.

For an assassin, even a revealed trump card can be used as a new killer move.

He gave the instructions into the earpiece.

"Maimi, make your move."

In an instant, a barrage of gunfire came from the other end of the communication line.

Chapter 62 Kirei Kotomine's Disruption

Kiritsugu Emiya's plan was actually quite simple.

As the only Master who understands the power of the Origin Bullet, Sakugetsu would never allow him to attack a Servant of the same class. With his physical abilities comparable to a Heroic Spirit, it was only a matter of time before he took the bullet for that little girl.

What he needs to do is use this certainty of the future to deal a significant blow to Shuoyue's group.

Using sniper bullets of the same caliber as the Origin Bullet as a decoy, he forced Shuoyue to set up a defense. Judging from his attitude, he could not possibly use magic to escape alone. According to his observation, Shuoyue's defensive measures are usually one-sided, and no matter how good the defensive ability is, it is impossible to stop attacks from other directions.

Servants can become spirits, but Masters cannot.

The real opportunity to kill him will be given to his other half—Kyuu Maiya.

With her marksmanship, while Shuoyue was pondering the reasons, a bullet would pierce his unsuspecting head.

Just as he had predicted, the moment the order was given, gunshots came from Maiya's direction.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya's expression changed instantly.

This is a sniper kill, not a chaotic gunfight!

Such a dense barrage of gunfire could only mean one thing: something must have happened to Maimi, and she's fighting someone!

With a flick of his trench coat, Kiritsugu Emiya was about to rush to the rescue when the wall beside him exploded, the shockwave sending him flying.

He quickly stood up, and the white-haired youth was already in front of him, holding two swords and looking hostile.

"You're really something, Kiritsugu. I almost lost my life."

Although he was slow to realize it, after discovering Kiritsugu Emiya's plan, Sakutsuki was already prepared to be seriously injured. However, the attack from Hisau Maiya's side was delayed. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also realized that, just like in the original story, Kirei Kotomine appeared and slowed down Hisau Maiya's progress.

If it weren't for the interference of a third party, he would have been the one who fell.

With no worries about the future, Sakugetsu immediately had Miyu become a spirit, and then, brandishing a large blade, came to his door, intending to cut Emiya Kiritsugu into a human stick.

To reiterate: He, Sakugetsu, merely inherited the memories of the great hero Emiya!

Even if there were memories of affection between them, that was not a reason for Sakugetsu to let Kiritsugu Emiya do whatever he wanted, not to mention that he almost lost his life this time.

Sabotage the plan = Prevent Shuoyue from obtaining the Holy Grail = Prevent him from saving this dissipating body = Harbor murderous intent towards me = Die!

Not to mention that Kiritsugu Emiya even went after his cutest, most obedient, and favorite little sister, Momo!

Heresy, within the system!

Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swung mercilessly at Kiritsugu Emiya's arms, but were blocked by an invisible sword.

"I'm sorry, Shuoyue, I can't let you hurt my Master." Her golden hair fluttered in the wind, and her heroic and beautiful face had a unique beauty under the moonlight.

Staring at the retreating Kiritsugu Emiya, Sakugetsu's golden eyes turned cold. He withdrew, his two swords vanished, and his black iron bow was drawn, nocked!

That's right, it's a sword!

The killing intent manifested in her words; Shuoyue's eyes were icy as she whispered:

"Pseudo-Spiral Sword"
