However, Emiya Kiritsugu's expression changed instantly.
This is a sniper attack, not a chaotic gunfight!
There is only one possibility for such dense gunfire, that is, something has happened to Maiya and she is fighting with someone!
As he lifted his windbreaker, Emiya Kiritsugu was about to go over to rescue him, but the wall on the side of him exploded and the air wave blew him away.
He stood up quickly and saw the figure of a white-haired young man appearing in front of him, holding two swords and with a bad look in his eyes.
"You are really amazing, Kiritsugu. I almost lost my life."
Although he realized it late, after realizing Emiya Kiritsugu's plan, Sakutsuki was already prepared to be seriously injured. However, the attack from Hisahi Maiya was delayed, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he also understood that it should be the same as in the original plot, where Kotomine Kirei appeared and slowed down Hisahi Maiya's pace.
If it weren't for the intervention of a third party force, he would have been the one to fall.
With no more worries, Sakutsuki immediately had Miyu transform into a spirit, then came towards them wielding a large blade, intending to cut Emiya Kiritsugu into a human stick.
To reiterate: He, Sakutsuki, simply inherited the memories of Emiya Giant Warrior!
Even though there is affection in the memory, it is not a reason for Sakutsuki to let Emiya Kiritsugu do whatever he wants, not to mention that he almost lost his life this time.
Destroying the plan = preventing Shuoyue from getting the Holy Grail = making it impossible for him to save this body that is about to dissipate = harboring murderous intentions towards himself = die!
Not to mention that Emiya Kiritsugu also attacked his cutest, most well-behaved and most beloved Ichimodo (sister)!
Heresy, within the department!
Gan Jiang Moye mercilessly swung at Emiya Kiritsugu's arms, but was blocked by an invisible sword.
"I'm sorry, Shuoyue, I can't let you hurt my Master." Her golden hair was flying, and her heroic and beautiful face had a different kind of beauty under the moonlight.
Staring at the retreating Emiya Kiritsugu, Sakutsuki's golden eyes turned cold. He withdrew, the two swords in his hands disappeared, and the black iron bow was opened, with the sword on it!
That's right, it's a sword!
The killing intent turned into words, Shuoyue's eyes were cold, and he whispered softly:
"Pseudo Spiral Sword
Since Irisviel was the Lesser Holy Grail and had a friendly relationship with him, Sakutsuki would naturally not attack her, but Emiya Kiritsugu was different.
As a filial son, I can remove several body parts of my old father and let him spend his old age in a wheelchair, so that his mind won't be filled with unrealistic fantasies like saving the world. I can also accept his and his wife's meticulous care... Isn't that wonderful!
The sweeping magical storm gathered at one point in an instant, and hidden beneath the brief silence was an undisguised murderous intent.
Not only Emiya Kiritsugu, but even 's expression changed, becoming uneasy and anxious.
"Danger, Irisviel, back off!"
Irisviel? Madam?
Shuoyue's hand paused slightly.
Is she here too?
Is this why Emiya Kiritsugu reacted so quickly to his plan?
Completely unaware that the bad consequences were caused by the food pictures he had posted, Shuoyue looked at the last trace of the windbreaker disappearing around the corner, snorted unhappily, and after taking back some of his magic power, the spiral arrow flew off the bow!
"Fantasy collapse!"
Following the Hyatt Hotel, an office building next to him also wailed and slowly collapsed.
The fantasy of collapse swept through every corner of reality, and only the blue storm surged, stubbornly guarding a corner in the destructive scene.
When the two buildings completely became history, Shuoyue retracted the iron bow and stood silently.
In front of him, the young knight holding the golden sword was panting heavily, and behind her was Irisviel, who looked apologetic.
As for Emiya Kiritsugu, he had already disappeared.
After his breath calmed down a little, he said angrily without covering the holy sword in his hand: "Do you know that this is very dangerous, Shuoyue! Irisviel was almost affected."
In response to the rebuke, the white-haired young man tilted his head and sneered:
"Ah, what a coincidence, I almost got shot in the head just now."
He didn't go out of his way to show his pierced palm, but Altria still noticed the horrific injury, and her cyan pupils trembled slightly.
"Shuoyue, you..."
"No need to say anything extra, Knight King." At some point, Shuoyue's expression had calmed down, as if he had never been healed of his injuries, and he raised his two swords.
"Emiya Kiritsugu did remind me - this is a war, and I should retract some of my careless thoughts. Things will not develop according to my plan as I wish."
There was no anger in the young man's tone. Just as he believed, anger, shock, sadness... these emotions were just reminders, reminding him of his own shortcomings, and that he should then make up for his mistakes - if he simply indulged in them, he would not be able to move forward.
Just like the action tonight, if he had not let his guard down and had always monitored the actions of other Masters, such a crisis would not have occurred.
"However, even if I realize my mistake intellectually, the depression in my heart will not dissipate for a while." The white-haired young man pointed the knife straight at him with his spiritual clothes fluttering, and raised the corner of his mouth:
"Aren't you going to hold me back? I just happen to want to vent a little, so how about playing with me for a while?"
"Huh..." He heaved a barely perceptible sigh of relief, pushed the dazed Irisviel to a safe place, and then raised the dazzling golden sword.
"I can't ask for it."
The next moment, the two figures collided violently!
Another place.
This is an unnamed steel-framed floor. After the project is completed, this will be the 38th floor of the Fuyuki Central Building.
The project is now halfway through and the exterior construction is about to begin. This complex commercial building, which will be a landmark in Fuyuki City in the future, currently has its reinforced concrete surface exposed to the strong wind blowing across the night sky.
At the same time, this is also the location where Hisahi Maiya is.
"I didn't expect you to blow up the entire building. Someone who is so unscrupulous doesn't seem like a magician. Or should I say, he is very good at targeting the weaknesses of magicians?"
The low and indifferent male voice echoed on this floor, announcing the arrival of an uninvited guest. Hisahi Maiya clenched her pistol, looked at the man in the robe vigilantly, and subconsciously said his name.
"Kotomine, Kirei..."
Chapter 63: The Confrontation between the Agent and the Killer
That was the abnormality that Hisayu Maiya noticed when the Hyatt Hotel collapsed.
It was not a sign of smell or sound, but a more abstract change in breath. Only a warrior's intuition, tempered by life and death, could truly sense this breath.
And a good killer would never ignore such warning signs.
With her mind focused as a knife, she pulled out a 9mm pistol from the holster at her waist and searched the surroundings.
Someone found her.
"Your senses are sharp, woman."
A low and cold male voice came from behind. The voice echoed in the surrounding steel pillars, and it was impossible to tell where it came from.
Something drew a slow parabola from the shadow of the steel column and landed at Maiya's feet.
Maiya quickly pointed the muzzle of her gun at the thrown object, and when she saw that it was not a dangerous object, she turned back to the location of the thrower.
But the corner of her eye caught the object that fell at her feet, because she recognized what it was.
It was the corpse of a bat with a CCD camera tied to its abdomen. This was the familiar that Maiya had released, and it had been missing since it was sent to wait near the Fuyuki Church.
The person who was able to show her the dead bat was obviously very clear. The other party did not seem to intend to hide, and calmly walked out of his hiding place and stood before Maiya's sight and gun.
He was a tall man with a distressed look on his face, and an indescribable sense of oppression emanating from his body. The dark monk's robes seemed like a shadow on the ground transformed into three dimensions, and seemed to envelop all the darkness around him.
Maiya was no stranger to that person.
"Kotomine, Kirei..."
The Master that Kiritsugu was most wary of, and also the most dangerous.
As for Shuoyue, he had been automatically classified as a servant by Maiya.
"Oh? This is probably the first time we meet. Is there any reason why you want to know me? Then I probably know your background." The man responded.
Maiya realized that she had accidentally muttered something and was shocked in her heart.
Kirei showed absolutely no fear of Maiya's gun, and continued calmly. "If that's the case, you should know something else. You know that this is a great location to monitor the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Regency Fuyuki Hotel, and you also know who lives in that hotel."
Maiya said nothing this time, but she was wondering why Kotomine Kirei, the Master who had been hiding very secretly before, would appear here so openly.
On the other hand, Kirei turned his head slightly toward the outside of the building, and glanced at the location of the Hyatt Hotel which had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a cloud of dust and smoke, and he sighed in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to blow up the entire building. Someone who is so unscrupulous doesn't seem like a magician. Or should I say, he is very good at targeting the weaknesses of magicians?"
Maiya was shocked to find that this man knew so much information about Emiya Kiritsugu, just as Kiritsugu knew about Kotomine Kirei.
"Don't leave me alone talking, woman. Just answer one question - where is the man who was supposed to take your place?"
Hearing his question, Maiya stopped making any assumptions about Kotomine Kirei.
There was no thought of doing anything other than killing this man.
Turn on the safety and pull the trigger.
The rapid-fire gunfire continued without interruption, with three consecutive roars.
The 9mm caliber is called a military bullet. It has enough killing power, but it is not enough. Therefore, it is common sense for professionals to shoot three times in the abdomen. Instead of aiming at a small area of fatal vitals, it is better to attack a large area that is easier to aim at and cause serious injury to the opponent. This is the iron rule of killing shooting techniques.
But the bullet did not hit the internal organs under the monastic uniform, but the hard concrete floor.
Kirei's dodging was incredibly fast, but a human's physical fitness could not be faster than a supersonic bullet. What Kotomine Kirei did was just one step faster than Maiya's thinking speed - that is, he predicted his opponent's movements.
He could tell the aiming point from Maiya’s gaze, and judge the timing of firing from the way her limbs were tensed to prevent the recoil of the gun, and thus dodge the bullet.
Whether in the real world or in the mystical world, this is an ability beyond ordinary people.
Not only that – the person who turned over and dodged at that moment was not Kirei but Maiya.
Her free right hand was covered in sticky blood, and the pistol that was supposed to be in her hand fell to the ground with a hollow sound.
She stared with surprise at the cold sword light that pierced the steel pillar behind her. It was this sharp throwing object that silently injured her right hand and knocked her weapon down.
That is, a thin blade with a length of more than one meter. It reminds me of a rapier, but by the standards of swords, the handle is too short.
This is a special throwing weapon used by the agents of the Holy Church, called the "Black Key." The man in the robe dodged the bullet and shot the sword.
As one of the basic anti-heretic equipment of the Holy Church's agents, the Black Keys are naturally powerful, but relatively difficult to use. Those who can skillfully use their power must be masters with very exquisite techniques. Kotomine Kirei, who has been practicing self-abuse since childhood, is impeccable in this regard. Even the "Burying Machine" which is the ultimate force of the Church and is full of monsters, may not be able to surpass him in the use of the Black Keys.
The Holy Church, the agent.
It is during this sudden and swift confrontation that the terrifying nature of Kotomine Kirei can be highlighted.
Hisau Maiya, who had experienced life and death on the battlefield, had superb skills, was ruthless in killing, and was almost perfect in every aspect, was wounded, disarmed, and lost her combat capability in the moment of the conflict. She had no resistance in front of Kotomine Kirei, and it might only take a few tens of seconds for her to be captured alive by Kotomine Kirei. She had no chance to escape, and she didn't even have the chance to commit suicide. The gap in combat power was so huge that it was despairing.
If Kotomine Kirei had not intended to kill her but wanted to capture her alive, the person named "Hisauma Maiya" would probably have been a corpse lying on the ground now.
"What's wrong, Maiya? What happened?"
An urgent question came from the earphones. Hisashi Maiya's ears moved slightly, but she didn't answer.
It wasn't that she couldn't, but that she didn't want to. She didn't want this dangerous man to get close to Emiya Kiritsugu. The real target of this terrifying agent was not Maiya, but Kiritsugu. Just as Kirei had expected, she was Kiritsugu's subordinate, and acted according to Kiritsugu's instructions. She absolutely couldn't let Kotomine Kirei get the evidence at this time and place.
"What? Aren't you going to seek support? Emiya Kiritsugu should be nearby, right?" Kirei had already bluntly said the name. He was also sure that if Emiya Kiritsugu, who was recruited by Einzbern, was also related to this Holy Grail War, he would definitely take action tonight.
But this woman remained silent, and Kotomine Kirei, who had been acting on his own, was gradually losing his patience.
We can't kill her, we have to capture her alive. But as long as she can still speak, it's enough, there's no need to leave her hands and feet.
Kirei made a cold judgment in his heart, and approached the woman hiding behind the steel pillar. The opponent should no longer have any weapons. The disassembled automatic rifle could not be reassembled immediately, and there was no time for her to run and pick up the pistol that was shot down.
The outcome is decided.
But at this moment, a white curtain suddenly rushed between him and the prey in front of him, completely blocking his vision. The pungent smell of the chemical reaction rushed straight into his nose.
"Smoke bomb!?"
Ahem, I've consulted the editor. In order to get enough recommendations, I'll update this book once a day from now on. I'll resume updating after it's on the shelves. Please be advised.
Chapter 64: Command Spells, Shining Again
Emiya Kiritsugu must be nearby.
Kotomine Kirei was so sure.
Even though he had never met the magician killer, and even though his past and that of the man named "Emiya Kiritsugu" were two parallel lines that had nothing to do with each other, the moment he received the information, Kotomine Kirei felt a shudder from the bottom of his soul.
He was staring at the man, and firmly believed that there was also an abyss in the man's heart.
