Easily dodging several throwing knives and a dagger, and casually smashing Hassan's skull with the back of the blade, Sakutsu watched Kirei Kotomine begin to retreat, a cold smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

"Full projection continuous layer writing!"

With a battle tactic reminiscent of the King of Heroes, countless weapons roared towards Kirei Kotomine, and the act of revealing his trump card further demonstrated his determination to kill Kirei Kotomine.

At the same time, Shuoyue spoke, her deep chanting shaking the surrounding magic.

This body is a creation of the sword!

Please add this to your favorites, everyone!

Chapter 66 The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind

The so-called "class" is essentially a class that specializes in stealth abilities, but is weaker than other classes in all other stats. (乂)

Kirei Komine's summoned Hundred-Faced Hassan further divides himself into different individuals through his Noble Phantasm "Delusion Illusion." Although the number of individuals increases, the total amount of power remains unchanged—based on this, the more it is divided, the weaker the individual abilities become.

What's even more critical is that if the separated individual dies, it will not revert to its original form, but will be directly annihilated. This is because it is not a mechanism where a higher "original" creates a lower "clone," but rather all of them are co-existing entities.

Therefore, with each death of a clone, the Hundred-Faced Hassan would become weaker. Normally, this would be fine if they were just gathering intelligence, but now Kirei Kotomine used Command Spells to send all the Hassans to the god of death wielding two large blades.

Shuoyue, an anomaly among Masters, is an unparalleled warrior who can be incredibly tough even at his peak.

The only way to describe letting this guy in is to say he's unparalleled at mowing down enemies.

The Hassans suffer in their hearts, but they don't say it.

After all, for the Assassins, the employer's orders are absolute. Since Kirei Kotomine hired (summoned) them, Hyakko, as the Old Man of the Mountain, must faithfully carry out his orders.

Even missions where death is certain are the same.

(Blood as steel, heart as clear as glass)

Kirei Kotomine was retreating rapidly, but the overwhelming rain of swords was tearing at the black robes around him. With each step he took, a corner of his body would be left empty, forcing him to use more of Hassan's bodies to fill the gap.

(Although they have never suffered a defeat)

However, victory was not achieved.

……

,(However)】

This life is not yet over.

The enemy's prolonged chanting did not reassure Kirei Kotomine; instead, it made him even more terrified.

He didn't know why Shuoyue had been so hostile towards him from the very beginning, but in any case, escaping from here was his top priority.

But will the well-prepared Shuoyue really let him escape?

The last imaginary particles coalesced into a giant arm, blocking the way between Kirei Kotomine and the stairwell, leaving only a small gap in the doorway, becoming the final obstacle that would determine Kirei's fate.

Even if it's a false identity, it's still...

The flow of magic became increasingly stable and majestic. Even Kirei Kotomine, who was only a half-baked expert, knew that Sakugetsu's final preparations were nearing their end.

Gritting his teeth, Kirei Kotomine grabbed a Hassan next to him without hesitation, and with a flick of his wrist, threw her toward the Imaginary Shadow!

The sword is a masterpiece of nature!

The stairwell shattered, and a figure stepped on Hassan's melting body, crashing through the concrete wall. A wound was gouged out of his side by imaginary particles, from which blood flowed freely. He tumbled down the stairs in a disheveled state.

The world egg expanded in an instant, completely engulfing the building.

Snowflakes fluttered down, and the full moon in the sky appeared cold and lonely.

Reality Marble: Unlimited Blade Works

A young man in white robes and red clothes stood on the hill, his godlike eyes looking down at the fragile black shadows.

"Ten, fifty... um, fifty-two people, including those who were killed before, so I only killed twenty-five?"

Twenty-five? Only?

Do you think we're cabbages? You've already killed almost a third of them!

Although the Hassans who split off have different personalities, the most stubborn ones were killed by this god of death. The fifty-two remaining are just prisoners still at the mercy of the established barrier.

But the young man judging them did not lay a hand on them; instead, he began to mutter to himself:

"Although it was a brilliant blitzkrieg, it was ultimately a failure... Tsk, be careful next time."

Blitzkrieg?

The Hassans looked at each other, and in their shared memories, they understood the meaning of the new moon.

When Kirei Kotomine approached Maiya Hisau alone, he naturally ordered his men to keep watch in case any servants came looking for him and caught him off guard.

Of course, He Shuoyue, who was engaged in battle, did not escape the notice of Bai Mao.

Because he was attacked by the magician assassin Kiritsugu Emiya, he chose to fight against his enemy... This logic is simple, clear, and flawless, so it is only natural that Hyakko lowered his guard in this battle.

Who could have imagined that when Sakumoku unleashed her Noble Phantasm, she would decisively clash with her, use the magic interference to scout, and then instantly appear next to Kirei Kotomine to launch an attack on him?

The so-called blitzkrieg was truly well-deserved, with Shuoyue possessing the ability to "displace space," making her even more mobile than others.

"I just didn't expect that Kirei Kotomine would use her as a human shield and use her as a springboard to escape. Alas, it's also because he used too much Imaginary Element Magic when he was sparring with Kenneth, and the remaining power was not enough to completely block the exit."

After revealing Kirei Kotomine's escape method, Sakugetsu seemed to lose interest in the matter, looking down at the rest with a strange smile on her lips.

What do you think of Master Kirei Kotomine's behavior of using you as cannon fodder...?

After a brief silence, one of the Shadow Servants stepped forward and said indifferently:

"We, the Shadows, will dedicate the rest of our lives to our master, even at the cost of our lives."

"Oh?" Shuoyue whistled lightly, her golden eyes sweeping over the other Hundred-Faced Hassans. "You all think so too?"

Each person is unique, and as individuals differentiated from the hundred-faced Hassan, they inherit different facets of her personality. Therefore, while some remain calm in the face of danger, others are willing to bow down before death.

But in any case, they maintained an eerie silence.

The intense killing intent emanating from Shuoyue was like an evening bell announcing the arrival of a funeral, a sound that tolls when death visits.

Listen, that's the sound of ancient bells.

With a crisp sound, a torrent of swords and blades rose from behind the youth, sweeping across everything in sight like a tsunami.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The symphony of swords, spears, and halberds, the roar of axes, halberds, hooks, and forks, all eventually transformed into the sacred ritual of death.

The evening bells have revealed the time of your death.

Hand over the head!

Chapter 67 Night Talks in the Church

Kirei Kotomine fled all the way back to the Holy Church.

His left abdomen was bleeding continuously because it was being eroded by imaginary particles.

But he dared not treat the patient, or more precisely, he dared not use magic to treat her.

Once the aura of magic is exposed... that young man might be able to find him.

The fierce appearance of the golden-eyed youth flashed through his mind, causing a wave of regret to rise in Qi Li's heart.

It was unexpected that Sakugetsu would be so determined to kill him, even abandoning Kiritsugu Emiya, who had almost shot him, in order to take action against him. This was a huge miscalculation.

But why?

Even though he sacrificed himself to cover the retreat, Kirei Kotomine still dared not relax. He returned to the church under his protection as quickly as possible, leaving a trail of blood along the way. In the end, he even saw double vision.

"Kiri? What happened!"

A vague yet familiar voice reached his ears. The proxy, having lost too much blood, could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, falling into a coma.

In the moments before he lost consciousness, he felt something inside him break.

That was a contract.

After a brief period of commotion, the church returned to calm once again.

Kirei Kotomine walked down the quiet corridor, his gaze calm, lost in thought.

The wound on his waist has completely healed. His mentor, Tokiomi, spared no expense in using his treasured gems to not only heal the wound but also eliminate the deficiencies caused by the imaginary particles to his body. Kirei Kotomine is now undoubtedly at his peak.

However, from the perspective of the Holy Grail, the Master named "Kirei Kotomine" is in a dangerous situation.

Just now, with the joint confirmation of Kotomine Risei, the overseer of the Holy Church, and Tohsaka Tokiomi, the heir of the three founding families and a participant in the Holy Grail War, they were forced to confront a painful fact—the core of their early plan, their one-man intelligence network, had just been confirmed to have been destroyed.

Killer: Master - Sakumoku

The Holy Grail War is essentially an intelligence war before the final battle. The lack of information was a devastating blow to Tokiomi Tohsaka, as it meant he had lost his greatest advantage and could only rely on his most basic familiars to gather intelligence, which greatly reduced his efficiency.

Even so, the elegant man in the red suit did not take his anger out on anyone, nor did he even pursue Kirei Kotomine's unauthorized actions. After a brief loss of composure, he suppressed the bad news and instead comforted the "dejected" Kirei Kotomine, kindly telling him to go back to his room to rest.

Such demeanor is truly befitting of the head of the Tohsaka family, who has upheld the family motto of "always maintaining elegance."

If it were an ordinary person, they would surely be filled with shame and gratitude, completely captivated by this man's charm, and willing to go through fire and water for him.

However, Kirei Kotomine was not that kind of person. His concern for Tokiomi Tohsaka was genuine, but his heart remained as still as stagnant water.

The priest, dressed in his robes, stopped in his tracks.

No, there are indeed some.

His heart was indeed stirred at a certain moment.

But... that was the moment when his mentor lost all his elegance upon learning of his death.

At that time, Kirei Kotomine realized his almost instinctive desire.

I want to appreciate more of that distressed expression, to appreciate this pain that belongs to others...

!!!

Reason finally returned belatedly. Upon realizing his own thoughts, Kirei Kotomine's first reaction was not to admit them, but to lock them firmly in his heart, in a place even his memories couldn't reach.

"Lord..." He subconsciously recited the Bible, but such a prayer was more hollow than the wind blowing through the corridor.

However, with the Lord's help, Kirli once again evaded his true nature.
