The peace of the sacred land was broken, the lightning smashed the concrete wall, broke the precious statues, and rushed into the hinterland, looking for the trace of the master.
"What are you doing, King of Conquerors!" The golden heroic spirit first appeared in front of the King of Conquerors and shouted angrily, "You are invading my private territory. In other words, are you ready to go to war with me?"
"What a long-winded thing to say!" Gilgamesh responded with a hearty laugh, "Of course I'm not prepared! After all, you kidnapped my Master!"
"Then you return it!"
"However, Hero King, it would not be a bad idea to ask you to take a look at the army under my command. How about that? Please accept it - the King's Army!"
The inherent barrier opened, pulling the two servants away from the battlefield, while in the church, a man in black was moving around like a ghost, looking for his target; the priest in robes took out the black key and was ready for battle; the imprisoned little master stretched out his hand and finally touched the sole of his shoe.
The mysteries beyond common sense have been eliminated, and in this church, the struggle for humanity has just begun.
Enro is a platform on the outer corridor of a Japanese house. It is used to bask in the sun outside and watch the rain when it rains. Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou often watch the moon here. This is also the place where Shirou was knocked unconscious and then fought over by three girls in "Fantasy Carnival".
Chapter 172 Servant vs Servant, Master vs Master
Do we need to abandon Kotomine Kirei and go find our Master, Waver Velvet, first?
Emiya Kiritsugu advanced rapidly, his mind like frozen lake water, turning into a mirror that reflected the entire surrounding area. He made himself a sharp probe, with a sensitivity beyond hearing and a clarity beyond vision. There was no blind spot, and any slight movement could be detected immediately, and he advanced slowly in the darkness.
At the same time, devote some of your attention to thinking about the next steps.
Under normal circumstances, Emiya Kiritsugu would have sneered at the request and the so-called "trust", thrown aside the mission entrusted to him, and focused on the mission of saving Irisviel and killing Kotomine Kirei.
But this time is different. In front of the Servants, the power of an individual is too small. For Kiritsugu, what he will face next is not only the dangerous Kotomine Kirei, but also Sakutsuki, who is as powerful as a Servant.
Emiya Kiritsugu was confident that he could defeat Kotomine Kirei, but facing Sakutsuki, who still did not show his full strength, he did not have even the slightest confidence. Not to mention that Sakutsuki had conquered Einzbern Castle a year ago, and the seeds of fear had already been planted.
Yes, he admitted his inner fear, which was why Sakutsuki did not show any hostility at the beginning of the Holy Grail War, but Emiya Kiritsugu still plotted against him again and again.
If he wants to seize the Holy Grail, the man named 'New Moon' will inevitably become his final obstacle.
Emiya Kiritsugu believed this deeply, and his intuition had been confirmed. In just a few days, everything around him was taken away, and he himself fell into a precarious situation.
Perhaps it was all his own fault, but Emiya Kiritsugu would never waste time regretting it. But no matter what, she had already abandoned him, and he would never believe Sakutsuki's lies. In this regard, he and Sakutsuki had the same opinion.
——Those who believe what the enemy says are fools, and those who follow the enemy's pace are worse than fools.
In order not to provoke Sakutsuki, he would kill Kotomine Kirei, but when they went to Mount Enzo, Emiya Kiritsugu did not intend to follow Sakutsuki's pace.
But resistance requires capital, so even a magician killer who is used to being alone has to seek help from his servants.
The person who came to him was the capable assistant that Emiya Kiritsugu was looking for.
Even if they signed a new contract after rescuing Waver, based on Emiya Kiritsugu's understanding of them, these two naive guys would definitely return the favor, but...
"I actually put my hopes on the trust of others. What am I thinking..." Emiya Kiritsugu muttered to himself, and then stopped.
It's not that I changed my mind, but that I had to stop.
Because in front of him, a man in a robe slowly walked out of the shadows and blocked Kiritsugu Emiya's path.
The place where the two met was in the aisle, a straight line so narrow that there was no obstruction.
Across the corridor filled with statues, Emiya Kiritsugu saw a figure in robes.
On the other side of the reflection in the enamel window, Kotomine Kirei recognized the black coat of his enemy.
Just after making the decision, his destined opponent stood before Emiya Kiritsugu.
In his hands were the shining black keys, and in his eyes was reflected the shiny gun barrel coated with gun oil.
The murderous intent naturally filled up, gradually filling the entire corridor.
Amid the murderous aura, the silver blade flashed.
With three in the right hand and three in the left hand, the Agent held a total of six black keys that turned into sword blades and galloped away.
The assassin aimed the crosshairs of his gun at the figure in front of him that was approaching quickly with a gust of wind.
The duel between the killer and the agent unfolds silently here.
For him, this was the third time he had deployed the King's Army.
But for him, this was the first time he saw the army of the King of Conquerors.
The strong wind carrying hot sand seemed to respond to the king's call, blowing away the coldness of the church and rushing to the side.
The sword of Sepluit held high by the overlord is gathering the thoughts of the heroic spirits from the other side of time and space who once shared the king's dreams.
With one mind, they looked at the horizon covered by the mirage, and wanted to see the other side of the boundless blue sky.
The warriors' mental images of the battlefield, which span across time and space, erode reality, transforming churches of prayer into vast plains ravaged by whirlwinds.
One by one, the Heroic Spirits arrived at the prepared stage and faced off against the oldest Hero King.
He faced the mighty army like a surging sea tide alone, but he did not look embarrassed at all. He was calm and composed, standing in front of the army with a golden glow like a lone and proud mountain. That was the sense of oppression that only the top heroes had.
His bright red eyes were filled with bloody joy as he gazed upon the magnificent military might. Only a king who had enjoyed all the pleasures in the world could understand this unusual feeling.
In fact, I am very happy.
Although he was summoned to the other side of time and space, he kept repeating the farce in the name of war. He had long been tired of this kind of life. Now he finally found someone who could be regarded as an "enemy".
But now, this feast that was enough to satisfy his gluttony lacked a crucial ingredient - the core of the army did not have the murderous aura that declared a decisive battle.
"What do you mean, King Conqueror? I am not Bao Si of ancient China."
"Don't think too much, Hero King. I have no interest in you. This is just an apology." Although it's an apology, Ke's attitude doesn't mean he's apologizing at all. "Hero King, do you remember what you did at the King's Banquet?"
"I see..." Gilgamesh immediately understood what Iskandar meant. "Are you trying to say that you are not at your peak today?"
"Yes, although the magic power received is more abundant, the Master who I can trust is not around, so I can't fully exert my combat power." Iskandar admitted frankly, and then suddenly rubbed his hands and revealed a sly smile.
, speaking of declarations, we should have made an agreement during the last banquet. "
"Are you saying that the only solution for both of us is to fight to the death?"
"Didn't we agree to finish the rest of the wine before that?"
He urged the King of Heroes, with an innocent smile on his face that didn't look like someone who had agreed to a life-and-death battle.
"Although the place was destroyed by some unrefined and ungentlemen at that time...but there is still some wine left in the bottle. You can't hide it from me."
"As expected of the King of Conquerors, you are eyeing other people's property. With a wry smile, he took out a full set of wine vessels again, poured the remaining God-era famous wine at the bottom of the bottle into two glasses, and clinked the glasses against each other.
"King of Babylonia, this is the last question at the banquet."
"Yes, go ahead."
Iskandar held a wine glass in his hand. Although his expression was serious, his eyes still retained the childishness of a naughty child. He asked, "For example, if I can use your 'King's Treasure' to arm my 'King's Army', I can definitely create the strongest army. Those so-called presidents in Western countries are probably nothing."
"Well, then what?"
"I'll ask you again, are you willing to form an alliance with me? If we join forces, even the sea of stars won't be able to stop us!"
Hearing this, the King of Heroes laughed heartily as if he had heard some ironic joke.
"You are really an interesting fellow. It has been a long time since I have been so amused by the stupid words said by someone other than a clown. But unfortunately, I only have one friend from ancient times to the present day - and the world does not need two kings."
At this point, Gilgamesh suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with interest: "Moreover, you don't seem to be worried about your Master at all? Do you have someone to rely on? Or are you just silly and cute?"
Judging from the time, that kid must have drowned in despair, right?
But in the face of Gilgamesh's vague hint, Iskandar's face did not show much worry. Instead, he drank the wine in the cup and showed a smile of great trust:
"I believe in Waver Velvet, and I believe my Master has the wisdom and strength to escape from danger."
Thinking back to the Master who had mediocre talent but still strived towards the future, the King, who had also launched a conquest of the world, was filled with an indescribable sense of pride.
“Just like believing in myself.”
Chapter 173: The Battle between the Magician Killer and the Agent (I)
[He restores my soul and leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me -]
A familiar hymn flowed through his heart, because Kirei's increasingly agitated heart had to rely on a carrier to ease it.
The gunpowder-propelled bullet streaked across the dark corridor, and the cold air that was drawn in began to dance around the corridor and hit his cheek.
But Kirei didn't care. He crossed his arms and used the six enlarged black keys as a shield to block the first probing bullet. The blood boiling in his heart became even hotter.
This was the first time that the man named Kotomine Kirei felt blessed in the dark. The God who had never favored him in this life finally gave him a revelation.
Standing before him were his reasons, the meaning of his life, his angels and demons.
What seven Masters and seven Servants? These are just "situations". For Kotomine Kirei, the battlefield of Fuyuki is——
It exists to destroy the enemy that is currently standing in the way.
The arduous search in the first half of his life turned into a hymn of praise to God, while the second half of his life, which would surely be filled with joy and pleasure, became Kirei's motivation to take up the sword.
[Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.]
The angel statues on both sides of the corridor serve as signposts leading to Purgatory, directing this fallen believer and urging him to charge towards the figure in black ahead.
Regarding Kotomine Kirei's tactical analysis - the sources of information were Irisviel and Hisau Maiya, who had fought against him before, as well as fragments of information revealed by Sakutsuki.
Long-distance use of black key projection. The time required for one projection, including the preparation action, is less than 0.3 seconds. The speed of continuous projection has been determined to shoot four black keys within 0.7 seconds. Even if the target cannot be seen by the naked eye, it does not affect the attack ability. The power of the semi-spiritual sword is enough to pierce steel bones.
If you are not trapped in an illusion, the hit rate is - 100%.
He uses Bajiquan in close combat. His details are unknown, but his power has reached perfection. If we compare it to the battle between Sakutsuki and Kotomine Kirei in the Einzbern Forest and the battle record he showed after Sakutsuki, his power has risen to the level of a Servant, making him extremely dangerous.
The robe that covered his entire body was bulletproof and had additional protection from spells. A 9mm military bullet could not penetrate it, nor could it suppress it with its impact force.
Other results of the pre-intelligence activities - according to the report on the results of Tōsaka Tokiomi's teaching of magic, Kotomine Kirei's proficiency in magic is at the level of completing the internship course, and the only outstanding project is spiritual healing. Kiritsugu speculated that the only means he could use for magic combat was to enhance his existing combat skills by enhancing his physical functions.
Finally, there is strategic forecasting.
Analyzing from outside the third wall, because of Sakutsuki's interference, Emiya Kiritsugu did not get the crucial treasure, "the isolated utopia". The combat environment is also an extremely unfavorable corridor for killers. Once Kotomine Kirei gets close to him, in such a small space, Emiya Kiritsugu will only face an indisputable death.
But it was also with the flapping of the wings of the butterfly Sakugetsuki that Kiritsugu Emiya went to the Middle East and obtained a prop that combined necromancy and thermal weapons warfare from the bounty hunter Shishi Jiejieli. The special bullet containing more than two bars of magic was just one of the chips Kiritsugu obtained.
Silently feeling the cold object inside his windbreaker, Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils flickered.
Apart from that, he only used his "secret move" once, when he dealt with Sir El-Melloi. At that time, the barrier of Einzbern City was still quite tight, able to block infiltration. In addition, Kirei himself was trapped in a battle with Maiya and Irisviel at the time and could not escape. In conclusion, it can be concluded that Kirei had no prior knowledge of the inherent time control and the origin bullet, and had not prepared any countermeasures.
——The above is all the information that Emiya Kiritsugu can use as a reference when facing the final battle.
The first attack of both sides was black keys versus gun bullets, and Kirei was obviously at a disadvantage. But if Kirei had mastered some magic that could overturn the difference in the quality of weapons, he would not care about Kiritsugu's gun and would directly take action to shorten the distance between the two sides.
Before that, Kiritsugu Emiya, who had discovered his opponent faster, took the first step, tapping the Calico in his left hand lightly, ejecting a bullet from the magazine.
Facing such a powerful opponent, any waste of bullets will reduce the chances of winning.
As expected, the Agent raised the six Black Keys high up like wings and rushed straight towards Kiritsugu from the front. Ordinary bullets were easily blocked by the Black Keys that expanded like a fan. At the same time, the distance between the two was instantly shortened by half by Kotomine Kirei.
If he took one more step, Kiritsugu would be subjected to the merciless blows of the Agent.
Opposite Kirei, the black-clad Kiritsugu raised his right hand, and a flame spurted out from his spear.
Facing repeated attacks, Kirei crossed the six black keys in front of his chest, completely blocking the powerful destructive power of the point bullets, and charged forward.
Kirei crossed his six enlarged swords in front of his chest, spreading them out in a fan shape, completely blocking the powerful destructive power of the point bullets.
Intense sparks flew as the bullets bounced off, and then all the black keys, which could not withstand the excessive amount of magic power, shattered.
Although the stunt of blocking bullets with swords was beautiful, it became the decisive cause of defeat. Although it was surprising that Kirei, who did not even have a magic seal, could use such an unimaginable and brutal move, this move would turn into a more deadly reaction force and eventually destroy Kirei's magic circuits, because that was the magician killer's trump card origin bullet - it should be like this.
So, when Kiritsugu saw the black-robed figure rushing towards him from the shattered fragments of the six black keys, he couldn't help but be shocked. Before he could even think of any doubts, his spinal reflex had already activated the spell.
, inherent time control, double speed)! "
The man in black flew backwards at the critical moment, and Kirei's flying right foot kicked past his nose with a bang, and the left foot that followed in pursuit failed to break Kiritsugu's neck. The reason why Kirei's proud chain kicks missed was entirely because he was confused by Kiritsugu's double-speed movement and misjudged the attack distance.
After a brief moment of surprise, Kiritsugu looked at the second Command Seal that disappeared from the priest's hand, and instantly came to a conclusion in his heart.
——It is because of the Command Spell.
Kotomine Kirei is not a regular magician, and even his magic circuits are not fully developed. In order to strike a fatal blow, he used the Command Seals as a source of magic power. As a result, the Command Seals' property of being discarded after use saved Kirei's life. When the magic ritual was activated and the Origin Bullet came into contact with the magic power and took effect, the Command Seals, which were the source of magic power, had already disappeared from Kirei's wrist.
Perhaps even Kirei had not expected that the special magic he had obtained would inadvertently crack Kiritsugu's trump card. Although the two's original plan to knock down the enemy with the first move was completely disrupted, Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been close to him, was obviously at a greater disadvantage. However, he did not need to find another way this time, because Kotomine Kirei had already stepped on the secret technique of Bajiquan, "Living Step", and instantly crossed a distance of five meters and crashed into Kiritsugu Emiya's arms!
, inherent time control, double speed)! "
The wind from the swung fist tore open Kiritsugu Emiya's skin, leaving a bloody mark. The killer dodged the priest's attack by turning his head, and without waiting for the next blow, he aimed the Calico in his hand at Kirei's chest and pulled the trigger!
"It's useless!" Kirei spoke with the burning passion in his heart. Three black keys flashed across his empty left hand, and the magic that he had prepared in advance was activated, turning into a barrier to block the bullets.
It's just an ordinary bullet!
When the thought of contempt flashed through Kirei's mind, the pain of his abdomen being torn apart suddenly overwhelmed Kirei.
