Rider hit a crucial point, and Saber didn't know how to refute it.

Emiya Kiritsugu

His reputation as the "Magician Killer" is well-deserved.

He earned his success through concrete achievements, and there have never been any clean rumors surrounding him within the Magicians organization.

Teaming up with a guy like that could mean getting shot in the back at any time.

Especially for a young man like Weber, Kiritsugu has too many ways to outmaneuver him.

"However, we are also willing to give you a chance."

"Therefore, tell your Master to show his sincerity."

Saber, who thought the alliance would fail, was stunned when she heard Rider's changed tone.

"I'll tell him."

Upon hearing this, Saber had no choice but to comply.

(A man who'll stop at nothing?)

(They might be more cunning than you think.)

Lelouch also had ulterior motives in using the "alliance" as a pretext.

Geass!

As long as Saber's Master dares to show himself, he will have a chance to make his move.

A peaceful and harmonious alliance against them?

Sorry, Lelouch isn't that naive.

Rather than trusting the other party, he would rather use Geass to dominate and control them.

Lelouch's "Geass" is the power of a king!

That is, an absolute command!

Those who are infected cannot disobey his orders, and he can even distort the object's ethics, thoughts, and beliefs.

This is the "trump card" he has been hiding all along.

If possible, he wanted to find all the Masters and then control them all at once, so that he could end the war instantly.

Heroic Spirits might have ways to counteract the effects of Geass, but ordinary humans are almost incapable of doing so.

...............

"Hmph, how could you possibly escape!"

Sora looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was wandering around the labyrinthine area and jumping off the train, with a cold smile and spoke.

The magical array that Kenneth and she set up together was not so easy to breach.

(Sora, you just need to stay here and maintain the magic output; don't leave.)

Remembering Kenneth's instructions, she became somewhat impatient.

Although Kenneth was indeed more suited to confront those Masters head-on, as Lancer's Master, she still wanted to participate personally rather than idly "win" here.

Otherwise, even if she wins in the end, she will feel it was all meaningless.

"Huh? Were you hit by an evil spirit?"

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Kiritsugu Emiya in the distance, who had been struck in the chest by a summoned evil spirit due to a mis-roll, and she whispered.

"I can't feel my breathing or my heartbeat anymore."

"Even if he's called the Magician Killer, he's nothing special."

Seeing the other person lying motionless on the ground in such a pathetic state, Sora gradually lost his guard.

"Next, we need to deal with Assassin's Master."

The magic array she set up was only to prevent anyone from escaping; her and Kenneth's original purpose was to "catch" Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya.

Now that Kirei Kotomine is being harassed by Kenneth, and Kiritsugu Emiya is "dead," there's no point in her staying here.

"Clap."

She walked towards the area outside the magic.

The moment she stepped outside the magic barrier, she heard an ominous sound.

"boom!!"

"Pfft!!"

The pain came from my side, accompanied by a burning sensation, as if something had pierced through my flesh.

Sora's pupils dilated and swayed as she looked in a certain direction.

Before my eyes was Kiritsugu Emiya, who had somehow stood up and was firing a gun.

The other person's emotionless eyes and the smoking gun barrel foreshadowed everything that had happened before.

"Varied!"

Why would someone who has stopped breathing and whose heart has stopped beating stand up?

How did the other party get so close to this position in an instant?

Many questions arose in my mind.

Completely misunderstanding the situation, Sora hadn't even spoken when all she got in response was the continuous gunfire from Kiritsugu Emiya.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

"Pfft!!"

Chapter 20: Standoff!

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Seeing Sora fall, Kiritsugu Emiya even fired a few more shots.

After realizing that the other party had used magic to trap him, he began searching for the people who had set it up.

This is both a crisis and an opportunity.

If managed well, it is possible to counterattack and reverse an unfavorable situation.

Lancer's Master was ultimately too careless.

That careless guy had far too many ways to kill his opponent.

As expected, once the body is brought to a state close to feigned death, the opponent will reveal a weakness.

By increasing his own speed, he created a near-teleportation-like scene in Sora's consciousness.

This is why Sora only discovered Kiritsugu after she was shot.

Because Kiritsugu Emiya can manipulate his own "time".

This is the effect of "inherent time control".

Although it still puts a huge burden on the body, Kiritsugu has gotten used to it.

This time, he used the negative effects of "time control" to deceive Sora by achieving a near-real death.

We need to leave quickly.

After confirming that Sora had suffered such a fatal injury, Kiritsugu dared not linger.

Judging from the servants' reactions, Lancer should know and be heading this way.

He can't waste Command Seals summoning Saber again for no reason.

"Boom!"

The magic's domain had collapsed, and he drove away from the scene.

.........

"!"

"how come?"

Sakura Kyoko, who was still chasing the castle, suddenly stopped.

The contract had begun to break, and she sensed something was wrong.

"Why did I have to die?!"

What exactly was that man protecting?

Kyoko Sakura couldn't understand why this was happening.

During the time she was chasing Caster, her Master died?

She got angry just thinking about Kenneth's infuriating face.
