But in any case, this means losing the right to escape.

This is a competition of the magic reserves of both sides. Knowing that this battle will be a protracted war, he immediately reduced the strength of his sword moves. If he kept swinging the sword with all his strength, he would not be able to sustain it for long. He could only use the minimum amount of physical strength and avoid frantic attacks.

The magic power cannot be infinite. If you swing a weapon weighing nearly a ton like this, your magic power will eventually run out. The question is whether you can hold on until then.

The thought of not being able to use my left hand made me feel annoyed. If I wanted to swing the sword with my right hand alone, I had to use magic power to make up for the lack of arm strength. In this situation, the extra magic power consumption was the most fatal burden. Besides, if I could hold the hilt of the sword with both hands, I could release the treasure and burn the giant tree to nothing.

The anxiety in her heart made her grit her teeth, but she continued to persist in the stalemate, looking for a possible turning point in the battle.

This turning point came soon.

Two bolts of lightning, red and yellow, pierced through the woods. Both spears stabbed out, one forcing a counterattack, and the other directly cutting off the large tree that had turned into a treasure.

She took a deep breath, panting, to get rid of the entanglement. A slender figure in tights blocked her sight.

"This is ugly. The reputation of the Knight King is crying."

The handsome man, who was almost evil, flirted with the stunned woman. The devilish gaze was not something that ordinary people could bear. Unlike the dangerous and ferocious spears in his hands, Diarmuid Odina's smile was so relaxed and carefree.

, why are you…"

Surprised, he smiled at her, then pointed the spear at the dazed one.

"Who allowed you to do such an unlawful act? This head is the medal that adorns my spear. An outsider wants to rob you, but you are just a thief who doesn't know the etiquette of the battlefield."

The unbridled hunting declaration did not cause any unhappiness. Instead, as if stimulated by something, all the murderous aura and resentment in his body were directed towards the double-gun user who was standing in front of him.

In fact, this was the second time an attack had been stopped. Even the most broad-minded hero would be dissatisfied with this.

However, Artoria inexplicably felt that his anger was not because his offensive was blocked, but due to some more secret and unspeakable emotion.

But now is not the time to think about the reason, because the black-armored berserker has already rushed forward with bare hands.

"Be careful! You can transform the weapon you get into your own treasure!" In response to the loud reminder, he responded with a refreshing smile.

"Thank you, but I also want to know——"

The Yellow Rose Spear was thrown on the ground. The handsome spearman held the "Devil-Breaking Red Rose" in both hands, leaned down, and made an ambush posture.

"Will the power that can take away the Noble Phantasm still be effective against my Forbidden Magic Spear?"

It was not by chance that Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald found himself here.

At dusk, when he walked out of his new base, he was surprised to find that magic secret codes had been carved on the gate of the abandoned factory.

After easily cracking the code, all Kenneth got was a simple sentence.

"More than thirty kilometers west of the city, deep in the forest on the national highway, is the Master's base. The Master will launch an attack there tonight."

To start a servant battle, one can only choose a place where no one can see them, so when Kenneth confirmed the correctness of the information through his own means, he felt a flash of joy in his heart, but soon fell into hesitation.

Kenneth had heard about the Einzbern territory during his pre-war investigation. Since it was the territory of magicians, it certainly had a certain degree of barrier or protective measures, and it would be difficult for outsiders to gain the upper hand in a battle there. On the other hand, although he didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, the Master took the initiative to attack, obviously intending to challenge the Einzbern forces, so there might be an opportunity to take advantage of this battle.

Regardless of whether it was because of the injury or the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted the sacred mage showdown, it was worth the trip.

After making up his mind, he stepped into the forest barrier the next moment he appeared.

As Kenneth expected, the battle started. Although the Master of the Servants had evacuated from the beginning, leaving no chance for the Servants to take advantage of, the Master of the Servants also did not show up. The Servants may have thought that since they were in their territory, they could protect themselves even without the Servants, so they decided to watch the battle from the base in the rear.

Now Kenneth had decided what to do.

In any case, Kenneth first ordered to contain He to prevent her from leaving the front line to defend, while at the same time consuming a lot of her physical strength.

And he, the great Sir Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, went alone to the Einzbern Castle. Although it was a bold challenge, it could not shake Kayneth's self-confidence. No matter what kind of defenses Einzbern had, he was ready to defeat them completely at the cost of his reputation.

If he wants to make up for last night's gaffe, he must show this ruthlessness. What's more, his fiancée Solaw has expressed great dissatisfaction with the new base, including Kenneth's performance.

For Kenneth now, the most important task is to make his fiancée give up her contempt.

With a high morale in his heart, Kenneth headed straight into the depths of the forest.

!"(cut)"

About ten liters of mercury flowed out of the bottle like a single-celled organism with self-regulation, turning into a sharp blade several microns thick that shattered the gate of Einzbern.

Although this is the base that the Einzbern family has operated for many years, Kenneth is very confident because he is the head of the Archipelago family, the most famous genius in the Clock Tower, and a great magician who has reached the "color position" at a young age. How can a mere self-enclosed family of androids that are not good at fighting stop him?

Although it sounds arrogant, this is Kenneth's truest thought. Even through the magical vision granted by the barrier, Emiya Kiritsugu can feel the pride that is permeating Kenneth's bones.

"The ninth generation head of the Archibolt family, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibold, is here to visit!" Kenneth puffed out his chest majestically, and his voice spread throughout the empty hall.

"Magician of Einzbern! Bet your life and dignity on the Holy Grail you seek. Now let's have a fair duel!"

No one responded to Kayneth's provocative call, and in fact, he himself did not expect to be able to duel in a formal manner. With a mocking sigh, Kayneth walked to the center of the hall with loud footsteps.

At this moment, the four seemingly ordinary vases placed in the four corners of the wide hall suddenly exploded with a loud noise. What flew out were not porcelain fragments, but countless metal particles, which flew towards Kenneth at the speed of bullets.

There was no magical reaction in the trap, and Kenneth didn't even notice the existence of the trap. No wonder.

The claymore mine, also known as the directional mine or the broadsword mine, was installed in the vase by Kiritsugu Emiya. It is an anti-personnel mine developed by the US military during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. This weapon uses the explosive force of the explosive to shoot more than steel balls with a diameter of cm in a fan shape. It is specially used to ambush infantry in one fell swoop. Under the explosion, the target in the center has absolutely no way to escape and can only be blown beyond its original shape and turned into a ball of minced meat.

——But this is when the opponent is not a magus.

At the moment when more than 2,800 steel balls were about to hit Kenneth, the place where he was standing was covered by silver balls.

A watertight mercury film spread out around Kenneth. Although the thickness was less than one centimeter, the film's tension and hardness were almost the same as steel after being compressed by magic. None of the steel ball baptisms from the broadsword mines hit Kenneth. All of them were blocked and bounced across the entire hall, and the result was only to smash the decorations in the city to pieces.

snort. "

After the protective film was removed, Kenneth snorted at the vicious trap set by the enemy. Although he knew nothing about military weapons, he knew that the attack on him just now was not a magic attack, but an ordinary weapon using ordinary explosives. In Kenneth's mind, the truth about the unpleasant incident last night finally came to light.

He had guessed before that among the six groups of enemies, the Einzbern was more eager to defeat his master than anyone else. But the Einzbern was a famous family of magicians, and it was hard for them to resort to such cheap and tasteless means. As a person who strictly adhered to the dignity of magic, Kenneth found it hard to believe such a thing.

But - there was no doubt about it now. The killer who had used such a despicable method to disrupt the magician's duel last night was indeed in this castle.

Has Einzbern fallen to this level?" Kayneth whispered with anger.

As an orthodox noble of the Clock Tower, this was an unimaginable depravity. Kayneth could never allow them to bring unqualified people into this sacred battlefield.

All right. Then this battle is not a duel, but a crusade."

The CCD camera installed in the dark corner of the hall silently recorded the enemy's every move and fed back the information to the man standing alone in the reception room.

Automatic defense using mercury manipulated by magic - the actual thing I saw before my eyes was far different from what I had heard about. I didn't expect the reaction speed to be faster than the explosion of an anti-personnel mine. In this case, weapons and ammunition would be of no use.

Although he was very reluctant, Kiritsugu had to admit that Kenneth was indeed a first-class magician. Looking back now, he should have come to this conclusion when the trap set by the Hyatt Hotel did not kill Kenneth.

This means that Emiya Kiritsugu must also fight this enemy as a "magician".

In order to find the enemy in the castle, Kayneth should start from the first floor and search one room at a time. The reception room where Kiritsugu is now is deep in the second floor. As long as he acts immediately, there is still time to choose a place that is advantageous for the battle.

Kiritsugu pondered the castle layout he had memorized in his mind as he walked toward the door, intending to leave the living room...

He suddenly stopped.

A thread with a metallic sheen hung down from the keyhole of the door. It was a drop of mercury. A tiny amount of liquid left a silver trail on the door, dripping along the surface of the door. The moment Kiritsugu noticed it, the movement of the mercury droplet suddenly stopped, and then it flowed up from the door like a living thing, back into the keyhole, and disappeared without a trace.

So that's what it means, is this 'automatic search'?"

Just as Kiritsugu frowned and muttered to himself, a silver flash penetrated the carpeted living room floor.

In the blink of an eye, the floor in the center of the room was cut into a circle and collapsed to the floor below. Silver tentacles jumped out from the big hole in the floor.

The Moon Spirit Marrow that appeared in front of Kiritsugu changed its shape again, looking like a metal jellyfish. Countless tentacles climbed the edge of the opening on the floor, and the umbrella at the base of the tentacles opened into a flat disc, providing a stable foothold for the owner. The person standing on it with a victorious smile was none other than Sir El-Melloi.

Found you, you dirty rat..."

Just before the relaxed Kenneth gave the order to attack Mercury, Kiritsugu pulled out a submachine gun from the holster at his waist and fired at Kenneth.

Mercury reacted immediately, opening a protective film in front of Kenneth, blocking the killing spree of the 9mm bullets. After just a few seconds, the magazine containing fifty rounds of bullets was empty.

But these few seconds gave Kiritsugu enough time to chant the spell.

,!" (Inherent time control double speed)

As Kiritsugu shouted the spell, a torrent of magical power ravaged his body.

!"(cut)

As soon as the barrage of submachine guns ended, Kenneth immediately issued a death notice. In response to the call, the two silver whips stretched out from both sides, making a sound of breaking through the air, trying to cut the immobilized prey.

"Ok?"

The cry of surprise came from Kenneth.

Just before the two silver whips were about to cut off Kiritsugu's body, Kiritsugu suddenly ran at an incredible speed, passed through the two silver whips, dodged the attack, and immediately jumped down to the bottom of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid where Kayneth was standing - that is, the opening in the floor that was cut by the mercury slash just now.

The phrase "fleeting in a flash" describes this situation. No human being could possibly exert such physical strength. Kenneth was stunned for a moment and could not react. But if you think about it carefully, this is not something worth making a fuss about. The battlefield of magicians is to compete with each other to see who is more extraordinary. If it is a little mouse that breaks into this field, it is not surprising even if it is different from ordinary people.

"I see. It seems he knows a thing or two about magic."

Although he smiled lightly, Kenneth was getting more and more angry. If he was just an ordinary rat, it would be fine, but that person was influenced by magic, but he relied on such a despicable means. He was not only a superficial third-rate character, but also a villain who would do anything to get what he wanted. It was this kind of person who brought shame to the magician.

"You damned scum...you should die as a token of your guilt."

Kenneth flipped his robe and jumped downstairs. The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which had been released from its jellyfish form, followed him and bounced down like a rubber ball.

!” (Tracking: Obliterate)

Mercury received the command, and its tiny tentacles spread out like droplets, once again conducting a carpet search throughout the first floor. The mercury ball immediately found the target's location, rolling quickly on the floor, and moving quickly. Kenneth, who was running behind, showed a sadistic smile at the corner of his mouth.

The chase has begun.

There is a difference between the animation and the original novel. In the novel, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid is directly stored in a ceramic jar, totaling ten liters, just like holding an urn... Director Ken's style instantly became very low when he held such a thing. In the animation, it was changed to a test tube, and the fashion value was directly increased.

Chapter 81: Toosaka and Kirei Hiding in the Dark

As mentioned before, the intermediary when the Einzberns purchased the land was none other than the Tousaka family, the magic administrators of Fuyuki City.

Even though Tōsaka Tokiomi had been a gentleman and hadn't done anything before, it didn't mean that he would be so pedantic as not to set up surveillance here during the Holy Grail War.

Especially in the worst case of loss.

Although the vast forest made the familiar's search incomplete, Tōsaka Tokiomi's familiar arrived at the scene shortly after the magical conflict and provided the magus with a view.

That was a big fight between .

Although the Jianghu came to their rescue and resolved the disaster, it did not mean that they were allies. They were just people who shared the same chivalry and sympathized with each other.

The purpose is to prevent intruders. In addition to others, those who enter the forest with the Master are also within her blocking range.

The purpose is to prevent anyone from disturbing Master Kenneth's battle of revenge, so in addition to preventing him from attacking, it is also impossible to free up his hands.

As for the fact that he would fight anyone he saw, he didn't care about alliance or hostility.

It is precisely because of this that the conflict between the three servants has fallen into a strange stalemate, and the winner has not been determined until now.

But in Toosaka Tokiomi's eyes, the significance of the appearance of the three servants is far more important than their current battle.

"The Lord of the Clock Tower invaded Einzbern to avenge last night's battle? Facing Kayneth, who is only one step away from the crown, the Einzbern androids have little chance of winning... But why did they start a war with Einzbern today? Who is the Master of the Matou family?"

Speaking of the Matou family, Tōsaka Tokiomi inevitably thought of his, no, his former daughter, Sakura.

During this year, although Toosaka Tokiomi insisted on keeping his distance from Sakura, he could not resist the pleas of his wife and daughter and still went to the Matou household to meet Sakura.

At that time, Matou Sakura's hair and eye color had turned purple, and the person standing behind her was not the old head of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, but Matou Kariya, who had mastered the water magician.

Not to mention the abnormality of the Matou family (it was rebuilt after being bombed), Matou Kariya's inexplicable hostility towards him also puzzled Tōsaka Tokiomi.

But even if Matou Kariya participated in the Holy Grail War... he should have chosen to be hostile to the Tōsaka family. Why did he become the enemy of Einzbern?

While he was puzzled, he did not realize that there was a slight fluctuation in the barrier of the Tohsaka family, but it quickly disappeared.

A similar black shadow appeared at the door of the Toosaka residence and looked up at the silent house.

Please note that this is not acting.

A short-haired man in a dark monastic robe, with an oppressive tall figure and a serious expression, was walking on the other side of the forest.
