Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

The Holy Grail, capable of granting all wishes, the heroic spirits who have gathered here throughout history... all these things that are enough to make one's blood boil are not as important as the existence of "Emiya Kiritsugu" in Kirei Kotomine's eyes.

He had endured a life of emptiness and meaninglessness for far too long.

Unable to find a real sense of happiness, lacking personal desires, his religious devotion stemmed from a hope that God could answer his inner confusion. Yet, the more thoroughly he studied the doctrines and the more skillfully he refined his techniques, the less he could find the right path he truly desired.

He became a priest because of his father's expectations, and a Master because of his master's wishes... Just like "Kirei Kotomine" can only continue to walk in this chaotic world by fueled by the requests of others.

If Kirei Kotomine had been born in a time of war and chaos, he would surely have become like Siegfried, wielding the holy sword Balmuk, defeating the evil dragon Fafnir amidst the people's cries, and becoming a hero who constantly repays the people's expectations.

Unfortunately, this is a peaceful era where people's wishes will not be trampled on, and there is no need for anyone to advocate for justice or fight bloody battles on their behalf.

It is precisely because of this that the hole in Kirei Kotomine's heart keeps widening. He cannot perceive happiness, but he can feel a different kind of pleasure from the ugliness of others—but the teachings he received since childhood tell him that this is not allowed by God.

God, what should I do?

The priest prayed devoutly day after day, and finally—in one man—he found what he believed to be the answer.

To find Kiritsugu Emiya and discover the meaning of his own existence from him. For Kirei Kotomine, this matter took precedence over everything else, even himself.

Even Kiritsugu Emiya would not know that the moment he stepped into Fuyuki City, a vast net woven from countless Shadow Heroic Spirits enveloped him.

That's why Kirei Kotomine is here.

The curse effect of the yellow spear has been revealed through the legend of Diarmuid. With the other six Servants still alive, having one hand sealed in the first battle means he is likely to be the first to be eliminated, putting him on the brink of elimination.

Kiritsugu Emiya will surely see this crisis, and eliminating the source of the curse as soon as possible is absolutely the top priority for the Einzbern camp.

So Kirei cast a wide net near Kenneth's hideout, waiting for the attackers to come knocking. He expected it to be Kiritsugu Emiya, but it turned out to be someone else. However, Kirei was certain of her connection to Kiritsugu. The woman he was now hunting was the key figure who would lead him to Kiritsugu.

However, the promising situation of capturing her alive was ruined by a sudden smoke bomb.

The smoke from the military-style portable smoke cannon spread rapidly, enveloping the surroundings. Taking advantage of the moment when Kirei stopped because his vision was obscured, the sound of his swift footsteps echoed and faded away on the concrete ground.

Kirei originally wanted to follow the footsteps and shoot out the black key, but at the last moment he gave up the idea.

Someone else threw this at Kirei to cover the woman's escape... Of course, there was no third person on this floor. In other words, we can only conclude that the smoke canister was thrown in from outside the building.

If he had carelessly fired the black key, regardless of whether the woman was alive or dead, his location would have been exposed.

If a third party outside the building were to launch a sniper attack, even Kirei Kotomine would find it difficult to survive under the cover of smoke.

But if it were thrown up from the ground towards this floor...

Kirei Kotomine walked to the edge of the floor, ignoring the strong wind that made his robes flutter, and looked down.

The Hyatt Hotel has disappeared, and another building has mysteriously collapsed. There are no buildings of similar height left in the area.

If it were thrown from the ground at this floor, the height difference would be over 150 meters. Even with a grenade launcher, achieving such accuracy would be extremely difficult. If it were a hand-thrown smoke grenade, the joke wouldn't be funny at all.

However, Kirei was an agent for hunting down heretics, and he was already used to dealing with enemies who defied common sense, so this kind of strange occurrence was nothing to be surprised about.

The streetlights flickered, casting a vast darkness between them. The magician who stood in his way was somewhere within that darkness.

If this is confirmed, then tonight's trip will have been worthwhile.

Suddenly, his battle-hardened instincts as an agent kicked in.

Kirei Kotomine dodged, but a red and a blue arc of light grazed him and pulverized the spot where he had been standing.

Before he could even get a firm footing, Kirei Kotomine threw six black keys in the direction of the attacker, in three separate throws, taking a total of one second—a more advanced technique than the single throw technique of 0.3 seconds.

The six black keys were divided into three groups, one for tracking, one for restraining, and one for intercepting. This was just the beginning. The man in the robe pushed off the ground with his left foot the instant the fall ended, advancing instead of retreating, to quickly close the distance with the attacker and prepare for his real killing move.

But when he saw the attacker's face clearly, he stopped in his tracks. With a creaking sound from the force of his body's resistance, Kirei Kotomine raised his right hand without hesitation, and three blood-red lines lit up.

"Order it with a command curse!"

阿尔托莉雅·潘德拉贡

[Character Information]: In her previous life, she was a legendary king of ancient Britain, also known as King Arthur. She was hailed as the knight among knights, the King of Knights. She pulled the sword of kingship from a rock, disguised her gender, and lived as the ideal king Arthur. However, her kingdom was devastated by internal strife, and she deeply believed she was unfit to be king. For the sake of her country, she hoped to use the Holy Grail to choose a new king… So how could someone like her easily fall in love?

[Hidden Information]: Insufficient conditions

Recording conditions

1. Gain King Arthur's approval (Completed)

2. Defeat/kill Artoria Pendragon

3. Help Artoria resolve her inner conflicts.

A pale blue light flashed before her eyes, indicating that a certain condition had been met. Shuoyue's expression remained unchanged; without a second thought, she tossed aside her twin blades, then leaped back, nocked an arrow, and released the string!

At the same time, the golden figure broke through the spinning blades, its blue eyes staring directly at the incoming arrow. The Excalibur in its hand drew a stunning arc of light, cleaving the supersonic projectile in two!

Then, magic surged forth, and the Knight King's petite body contained savage power. She shattered the earth and instantly approached the white-robed and red-clad youth, a whirlwind gathering on her sword blade.

"Wind King Hammer!"

"Shoot, a hundred heads!"

A raging storm cleared the space within a few dozen meters, and behind the huge, heavy, pitch-black axe blade, the young man was nowhere to be seen.

He disappeared without anyone knowing when.

Happy Children's Day everyone!

Chapter 65 The Assassins Mobilize

It was a jet-black axe sword that spread out like wings, taller than most humans; probably only a small giant nearly three meters tall could wield it freely.

That is why the impact of Shuoyue wielding this ferocious weapon was unprecedentedly strong.

What is released is a variant of the Noble Phantasm "Wind King Barrier", which is a wind blade that is instantly released and condensed air and swung out in a sweeping motion to eliminate enemies: "Wind King Hammer".

However, the fierce storm was torn apart by the high-speed nine-hit combo of the axe and sword, and the lethal wind blades were destroyed into chaotic air currents without any power. Even the youth's arm, which was incredibly slender compared to the axe and sword, was not expected to be able to wield such a ferocious behemoth.

Style: Shoot a Hundred Heads

The most trusted Noble Phantasm of the Heroic Spirit Hercules, it was used to destroy the immortal Hydra.

The various martial arts, whether wielded with weapons or performed barehanded, are in a sense a manifestation of the technique Noble Phantasm of "Style: Shoot Down a Hundred Heads," similar to "Knights Never Die Barehanded." However, it can bring out the maximum power of the weapon, manifesting various forms depending on the situation, from targeting individuals to armies, and even capable of besieging cities.

If using a sword, the attack will unleash nine slashes in an instant; if using a bow, it will fire nine dragon-shaped tracking lasers.

Sakugetsu's projection magic is inherited from Emiya Shirou. It's a cheating magic that can even read the original owner's abilities when it's copied. So even Sakugetsu can use the secret techniques of the great hero Hercules, and even has the strength to escape the battlefield and disappear from the warning range.

After confirming that the aura of the new moon had disappeared, the ahoge on its head swayed slightly, it sheathed the golden Victory Sword, and returned to Irisviel's side.

"Are you alright, Irisviel?"

"I'm fine, thank you."

But Irisviel's expression showed little joy. She gazed at the axe-sword that was slowly dissipating into magic, her ruby-like eyes filled with worry.

"Are you worried about Shuoyue?" he asked. "But why don't you say so?"

The worry on her face turned into guilt, and the innocent Winter Princess lowered her head and remained silent.

What is Irisviel looking at?

Curiously imitating Irisviel's appearance, all I could see was a flat concrete ground.

After a long while, a faint sound, barely audible, finally broke through.

“I have no right to see that child.” The silver-haired woman, who was an artificial human but whose emotions were more delicate than anyone else’s, said in a low voice, “He has helped us so much… but we have to be his enemy.”

This is the source of Irisviel's contradiction, and the reason why she remained silent throughout.

From her sudden appearance a year ago, Shuoyue has never shown any hostility towards Irisviel. Even now, a year later, as fellow participants in the Holy Grail War, that young man has been silently protecting her, at least tonight. If Shuoyue hadn't interfered, they would have faced the guns of the enemy and the onslaught of the enemy.

However, there is only one Holy Grail, and Irisviel knew there was a reason for them to fight, and she was prepared for it. But she didn't expect Kiritsugu to act so decisively, blowing up the entire hotel during the battle between Sakumoku and his Master, and launching an attack as soon as Sakumoku appeared. Moreover, judging from Sakumoku's performance, he was probably only one step away from success.

On one hand, there was Shuoyue, who had never harmed her; on the other hand, there was the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish and her husband. Caught between the two, and with a kind heart, Irisviel would naturally feel pain.

He silently gazed at the woman he had sworn to protect, and sighed inwardly.

Wasn't she the same back then? She clearly didn't mind the relationship between Queen Guinevere and Lord Lancelot, but the members of the Knights of Faith didn't forgive their actions... In the end, she had no choice but to put Guinevere at the stake as the Queen, leading to all the tragedies that followed.

Until the battle between Sakumo and Kiritsugu Emiya is over, even she cannot free Irisviel from this pain.

The blonde female knight looked up, her blue pupils reflecting the cool moonlight.

All she could do was keep her vow and silently protect this pure winter princess.

In the silence, she suddenly thought of something.

Where did that young man with golden eyes go after the battle with her ended?

"Command it with a command spell!" Kirei Kotomine raised his right hand and swiftly recited the incantation like an automatic machine.

"And appeared beside me in an instant!"

One of the Command Seals engraved on Kirei Kotomine's right hand suddenly emitted a bright light, unleashing magical power beyond reason.

For the group that was moving around Fuyuki City, the moment Kirei Kotomine gave the order, their sense of space was completely taken away, and they were thrown into a "movement" where they didn't know where they were going.

This is something that only Command Seals specifically designed to "control Servants" can accomplish. In a "moment" at a speed that is a fraction of the speed of light, fast enough to almost defy the law of causality, the Command Seal can break through spatial distance and complete the movement between two points.

Between Kirei Kotomine and the attackers, a large group of figures draped in black robes surged forth—the Command Seals were aimed at him, and even though he was split into hundreds of individuals using delusional illusions, they were essentially the same Servant.

Although the attack was sudden, the assassins' combat skills allowed them to instantly assume a fighting stance, warily observing the attackers in front of them.

Golden pupils shone brightly in the darkness, as if burning with blazing flames.

Master, Shuo Yue.

Although he is a Master, he is a freak who can fight against Servants and even clash with the King of Heroes!

White robes fluttered, red garments danced, and the black and white soft armor reflected the yin-yang swords of the same color, their sharp arcs flashing past their eyes.

Facing the Servant, the young man neither dodged nor retreated, but launched a fierce attack as if he couldn't wait!

Seemingly unaware of the youth's ferocity, several heads flew into the air in astonishment, becoming the souls of the dead beneath the blade.

! ”

The original twin blades were thrown out, swirling and killing within the black robe. Shuoyue crossed his hands, gripped them tightly, and new blades appeared in his hands, carrying him to slaughter all around.

"Send eight people to cover my retreat, and the rest to delay Shuoyue's advance. Remember not to confront him head-on."

Kirei Kotomine gave instructions the moment he summoned the Servant. Even though the Servant was right beside him and his own combat power was not bad, he had no intention of fighting Sakugetsu. He only wanted to run away.

"Want to leave? Do I agree?"
