Type-Moon My Destiny Illustrated Book

The magician from the Einzbern family leaned back in his chair, turned his head, and glanced at the kind-looking priest with his sarcastic eyes:

"Father, do you think you are doing the right thing?"

"what do you mean?"

Kotomine Li was calmly closing the church door and slowly walking towards the man.

"Of course I'm referring to your alliance with the Tōsaka family. As the supervisor of the Holy Grail War, you must remain impartial, but you have formed an alliance with the participants—"

He still sat there defenseless, but the words that came out of Kiritsugu Jimei's mouth were as sharp as a sword: "[Those who pursue evil will die]."

"He who perseveres in righteousness shall find life." The old priest responded humbly.

"This is a passage from the Book of Job in the Old Testament. I never thought that you, a magician killer, would read our teachings."

"I just flipped through it on the way." The man said, "So, what is your answer?"

"Yes, forming an alliance with the Tousaka family is what I believe is justice."

The supervisor sent by the church, Kotomine Risei, answered without hesitation, and then with unparalleled determination, he punched the magus who had his back to him.

The response to his boxing was the fire from the muzzle of the gun.

"boom!"

Chapter 158: The Disappearing Command Spell and the Prison Visitor

Long ago, the Church had evidence that the Holy Grail that appeared in Fuyuki was not the same thing as the relic of the Son of God. The thing that was fought over so fiercely in Fuyuki was only useful to magicians and had nothing to do with the Church.

But because Fuyuki's Holy Grail is too powerful, the church can't just sit there and watch. After all, it is still a wish-granting machine. If it falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause.

And if the Holy Grail were to be excluded as heresy, conflict with the Magic Association would be inevitable, and the sacrifice the Church would have to make would be too great.

——It would be better to take a step back and entrust Fuyuki's Holy Grail to the 'right person'.

This is why the church chose the Tousaka family, simply because the head of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Tokiomi, has always upheld the great wish of "going to the root".

However, this alliance agreement ends here.

The sound of gunfire broke the tranquility of the sacred place. The man holding the murder weapon stared at the body of the old priest who was collapsed on the ground but still in a punching posture. After a while, he curled his lips and the disguise on his face disappeared, revealing the appearance of a young man with white hair and golden eyes.

"It seems that the useless guilt can be thrown away."

With a snap of his fingers, a shadowy servant emerged, walked forward, lifted the sleeve of the old priest's right arm, and then slashed with the knife.

"Puff." I don't know what method Baimao used, but although he cut off Kotomine Rizheng's right arm, not a single drop of blood spurted out of the wound.

Shuoyue stretched out his fingers and touched the right arm that was covered with Command Seals, recalling the contents of Chapter 4, Verse 24 of the Gospel of John that he had read on the way.

“God is a Spirit; those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth,

As if in response to these words, all the Command Seals on Li Zheng’s icy right hand began to glow faintly again.

The Holy Word was lifted, accompanied by a stinging pain. Shuoyue watched the Command Spells climbing onto his wrist like ants. In the dim church, the red lines looked like blood, emitting an eerie light.

Dozens of Command Seals were the legacy left by the participants in the first three Holy Grail Wars.

And now, it all belongs to Shuoyue alone.

"Do I need to be bandaged like Xiao An?" Muttering to himself, Shuoyue closed the old priest's eyes and stood up: "Let's go."

"Yes, Master."

He completely destroyed Kotomine Risei's right arm, nodded respectfully, and disappeared into the temple with Sakutsuki.

Tousaka Tokiomi discovered his old friend's death an hour later.

He suddenly felt uneasy, so he walked out of the magic workshop and entered the chapel, where he sensed the breath of death.

To learn magic, one must first learn to accept and understand death - this is the first lesson for every apprentice magician. That is why, the moment he realized death, Tōsaka Tokiomi immediately smelled the smell of blood and a slight lingering smell of gunpowder.

Someone in the church must have done something unforgivable.

Tōsaka Tokiomi clenched his cane and moved cautiously, passing through the seats for believers. Just as he arrived in front of the altar, he found Kotomine Risei sitting in the front row with his eyes closed.

In the solemn atmosphere of the church, the old priest sat at the front of the audience seats, his body and the seat buried in the darkness, but his face looked extremely sacred when illuminated by the sunlight.

"Father——"

The shout that burst out of his mouth was suppressed. When Tōsaka Tokiomi saw Father Risei, he also saw his forehead that was shot and his right arm that disappeared.

Tōsaka Tokiomi knew clearly that on the right arm of Father Risei was the Command Seal that all Masters dreamed of.

In other words, the one who killed his old friend was a Master in the Holy Grail War.

As far as he knew, the Command Seals entrusted to Father Risei were protected by powerful holy words, and it was almost impossible for them to be stripped away by magic without the priest's permission - perhaps, this was the reason why the priest's right arm disappeared.

That evil villain must be having a hard time trying to obtain the Command Seal at this moment. He is as disgusting as a stray dog ​​that cannot eat the fat meat in the bowl.

Cursing the murderer with malice and murderous intent, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face showed no emotion, and he searched for any trace of the church like a cold machine.

Just then, he noticed the magic patterns drawn around the old priest, which were flashing with light when triggered.

"This is... a trigger magic that requires a specific aura!" Tōsaka Tokiomi recognized the true nature of the magic at a glance, but it was too late.

The timed magic was triggered, and a deep red light symbolizing "Eleven" rose into the sky and flickered in the sky.

In the Major Arcana of the Tarot, the eleventh card represents:

justice.

So after several hours, all the familiars gathered together again.

However, this time, the church was empty - there were only four familiars and a corpse.

Toosaka Tokiomi had already gone into hiding, but he did not hide the old priest's body, because the murderer had already set up the magic, and his unnecessary behavior might make himself a target of public criticism.

Just when the four familiars gathered, before everyone could start communicating, another trigger magic was activated.

What is presented to everyone is the recorded magic image.

In the extremely clear picture, the magician killer in black sat in the audience seat. After talking to Father Risei for a few words, he raised his pistol and ended the latter's life before his attack hit him.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the so-called present criminal was easily exposed, and Kiritsugu Emiya was instantly pushed to the forefront.

No matter how improper the behavior of church members is, the significance of their existence is far greater than the role of supervisors - killing the old priest means slapping the face of the Holy Church.

How dare Emiya Kiritsugu do this?

Could it be because of those precious Command Seals?

More importantly, who released that meaningful signal, this light curtain that records the truth?

It was as if there was an invisible black hand pushing the Holy Grail War into an even more chaotic situation.

"So, it was you, Emiya Kiritsugu." Tōsaka Tokiomi knew that there were many suspicious points in such an image, but it did not stop him from directing the hostility of the crowd towards Emiya Kiritsugu, "You are the one who killed the priest!"

Not only him, even Kariya and Waver couldn't help but cast their eyes on the silent bat, which was Emiya Kiritsugu's familiar.

They did not know about the Holy Word, so the fact that Father Risei was killed and his right arm was taken away meant that this group now had a far greater number of Command Seals than any other group.

They had no intention of seeking revenge for Kotomine Rimasa, but the group that held many Command Spells were the first ones to be eliminated.

…Even if it was a misunderstanding, it would still be in their favor if those with powerful jobs were to leave first.

Faced with the hostility of the three groups of people, Emiya Kiritsugu did not say much, but instead released his empathy with his familiar and began to quietly pack up the equipment on hand.

“Aren’t you going to explain? We weren’t the ones who killed the priest.” Irisviel asked worriedly.

"It's meaningless." Kiritsugu replied calmly, "It's easy to throw dirty water on someone, but it's hard to clear yourself. Rather than wasting time and energy with these people who pretend to be ignorant, it's better to rest up and take the initiative."

The magician killer who had been dormant for a long time had a sharp gaze, his eyes locked on a certain point on the map.

That was the place that Hisau Maiya found after secretly following the master of the Matou family.

In other words, that is where Matou Kariya and his servants are hiding.

“Maiya, go find it.”

"Yes."

At the same time, Kotomine Kirei, who was locked up in the police station, also welcomed his first visitor.

"How about it? This dark and dirty place is very suitable for you, Kotomine Kirei."

Chapter 159: Awakening of Kotomine Kirei

Along with the sneers of mockery and pity, the dazzling golden optical player dispelled the darkness in the prison, and forced Kotomine Kirei, who was staring at the void, to turn his gaze to the outside of the cell.

Even though he was just standing there, the heroic spirit still made no effort to conceal the astonishing sense of oppression emanating from him. The awe and self-discipline of entering a modern violent institution had nothing to do with him.

"It has come to this. What are you still thinking about? No matter how slow you are, there is a limit, Kirei."

"Did Mr. Tokiomi ask you to come?"

"Tokiomi? This guy doesn't have time to deal with your affairs, or he doesn't know anything about your affairs at all?" The blood-red eyes looked at Kotomine Kirei unscrupulously, as if he had determined and expected his next reaction from the beginning.

What's the meaning? "

"Let me tell you, Kirei - he is currently handling the funeral arrangements for Father Kotomine Risei."

Priest? Kotomine Risei? Kotomine... Risei...?

Father?

When the message was finally understood by him, the feeling of tears sliding down his cheeks startled Kirei, and he could not help but hold his face.

Crying at the news of the death of a blood relative... For a person, this should be a natural reaction. But at this moment, Kirei seemed to have stepped on empty air beside an abyss, and fell into a chaotic emotion close to fear.

Never look directly at it—the inner voice warned himself sternly.

Kotomine Kirei, you absolutely cannot understand, nor can you agree with the feelings that are welling up in your heart right now. Because that is——

“Regrets?” The Golden Heroic Spirit admired Kirei’s empty and struggling expression, and a sadistic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “It’s not because of the sadness of the death of a loved one, but because of the regret of not being able to be there. Oh, this is not accurate enough.

"To be precise, you are regretting that the person who killed your biological father was not you, right?"

A voice pierced Kirei's heart like a steel needle, breaking through the blockade and confinement he had been in for three years. Kotomine Kirei stared blankly at the wetness in his hands, at his own tears flowing.

Tears. When was the last time he shed tears?

That’s right, it was on those unforgettable three years ago. That woman, his wife Claudia, reached out her hand to wipe away Kirei’s tears and said, “You love me very much.”

This separation was completely different from the ending he had expected—he had thought so at that time. Standing beside the terminally ill woman, hadn't Kirei realized what he was looking for?

I hope to make this woman more ■■——

Want to see her more ■■ appearance——

At that moment, just like this moment, Kotomine Kirei once again felt the frantic and helpless mood he had three years ago.

At least let his father experience the most extreme before he dies.

"The soul seeks pleasure as a beast follows the scent of blood—"

Her ruby-like eyes were fixed on his heart, and she spoke softly to him with an evil smile.

"Now, you should be able to give an answer, right? About that matter."

Kotomine Kirei knew what he was talking about. It was the "entertainment activity" that he was asked to participate in on the lost night, which was to satisfy his idle curiosity of wanting to know the motivations of each Master in pursuing the Holy Grail. For this, the Hero King generously gave him his treasured treasure.

One of them was placed in the church by Kotomine Kirei, revealing the fact that Sakutsuki had stolen the Reiki Disk, and the rest were indeed released by Kirei for surveillance, and achieved certain results.

But what’s the point of saying this now?

With a mood that was close to escaping, Kirei finally opened his mouth and slowly told the story through the iron bars.

He talked about the Master who pursued victory for the honor of a magus, the Master who was once like his teacher but now seemed to have a new awakening, the Master of, the mysterious young man who had murderous intentions towards him, and because he could not grasp the whereabouts of the Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, he lied to cover it up, and then went on to talk about the Master of, Matō Kariya.

"A half-trained magician is responsible for a crazy Servant. He originally showed signs of an alliance with the group, but recently he seems to have drawn a line. Moreover, he seems to have had a connection with Tokiomi's wife Aoi in the past. Both of Tosaka's daughters are now taken in by him..."

Suddenly, he spoke, interrupting Kirei's narration.

"Then Kirei, let's assume a situation - suppose a miracle happens and by luck, the Master really survives to the end. Can you imagine what will happen then?"

If only it were fiction...

Suppose the Master defeats everyone and even obtains the Holy Grail, what will Kariya face then?

Needless to say, what he had to face was his own dark side. Under the banner of justice, he had to take away Aoi's husband, which was a huge contradiction. Kariya did not notice this contradiction in his heart... No, he ignored it on purpose. This also meant that he was deceiving himself and concealing the jealousy and lowly lust in his heart.

Standing on the blood-stained peak of victory, Matou Kariya will be forced to face the ugliest side of his heart.
