Type-Moon My Destiny Illustrated Book

Chapter 174: The Battle between the Magician Killer and the Agent (Part )

This is not the final battlefield at the Fuyuki Civic Hall, and this is not the original world line.

Before the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei had been practicing magic step by step until the war began, except for catching a thief who stole materials with his teacher.

But Emiya Kiritsugu is different from Kotomine Kirei. Because of his connection with 'Emiya Shirou', he was severely fanned by the big fluttering moth, Sakutsuki, and the butterfly effect completely affected him.

In addition to being forced into inwardness and further updating his equipment, the biggest impact on Emiya Kiritsugu was indeed his assessment of the combat effectiveness of future enemies.

As someone who had long been roaming the dark side of society and murdered many magicians, Emiya Kiritsugu had never imagined that someone could create two huge swords that covered the sky, or even summon an inherent barrier that could be called a forbidden spell, and single-handedly overwhelm a large family in the enemy's magic workshop - thanks to this, Emiya Kiritsugu was under great pressure for a while, thinking that his opponents in the Holy Grail War were all freaks like Sakutsuki.

But on the other hand, it was precisely because of the overly exciting warm-up of the New Moon that Emiya Kiritsugu was no longer surprised by everything that would and might happen in the Holy Grail War.

That is why, when facing Kotomine Kirei's lightning-fast attack, Emiya Kiritsugu seized a gap from his enemy, used his inherent time control to damage himself, avoided punches, and fired a gun to counterattack!

When Kotomine Kirei muttered "It's useless" and took out the Black Key to block, Emiya Kiritsugu admitted that the reaction ability of this agent was far superior to his, but his heart remained calm.

Because of Sakutsuki's warning, he had plenty of time to prepare for the battle. What Kotomine Kirei didn't know was that in Calico's magazine, except for the first bullet which was ordinary ammunition, the rest of the ammunition - were all specially made necromancy magic bullets!

The black key, which was simply infused with magic power, was broken in an instant. The robe treated with spell protection could not resist magic that was applied for two or more sections. In the flying sparks, magic collided with magic, science fought with science, and finally the bullet with kinetic energy of up to a thousand pounds broke through the last line of defense and tore apart the muscles of the agent who had been forged with steel.

Despite suffering such severe pain, Kirei Ryomine still did not follow his instinct to run away. Instead, he took Kiritsugu and others' movements at twice the speed into account, came up with the answer before his mind was disturbed by the pain, and continued to punch!

The second punch also missed. It seemed as if in the blink of an eye, the black-clad killer in front of him appeared beyond the maximum distance that Kirei's arm could reach. His left hand, which was tightly gripping the trigger, never loosened its grip, and continued to fire cursed bullets at the priest.

, inherent time control, three times the speed).

If this continues, even the monster-like agent will have his abdomen pierced through and lose his ability to fight due to excessive blood loss, right?

Then, Kotomine Kirei's face turned grim, and the third Command Seal was ignited.

The body function strengthening magic taught by Tokiomi was activated - the magic flow rushed through the body, speeding up the nerve reflexes and increasing the instantaneous explosive power of the biceps, brachioradialis, and pronator teres of his right hand. Kotomine Kirei used footwork to dodge the bullets, and his forearm, which had turned into a weapon, drew a spiral, making a sound of breaking wind. The power was so strong that it almost stirred up a whirlwind, and he pursued the enemy in front of him relentlessly.

Just as Emiya Kiritsugu dared not take a step forward, Kotomine Kirei also could not take a step back. His victory lay only in the kung fu he had honed himself.

However, what greeted him was not bullets and gun muzzles, but an object that looked like a heart that Kiritsugu took out from his coat. As the man in black pulled open the ring that looked like muscle fibers, he threw it near where Kirei was standing.

No - when Kotomine Kirei saw the true form of the object, his pupils constricted, and he unhesitatingly kicked out with a shock kick. Enduring the tearing sensation brought by the reaction force, he began to retreat rapidly and quickly curled up his body to reduce the area of ​​force.

His previous description of this object was wrong. To be precise, it was a grenade made from a magician's heart. It was a product of the necromancy of killing a magician's heart and processing it with magic. It was a "necromancy version of a grenade" with its nails and teeth attached. When it exploded, the human tissue that flew out contained the magic power of resentment, and when it was injected into the opponent's body, it would have an effect similar to a "curse bullet").

And what Emiya Kiritsugu pulled out was the pull ring made of muscle fibers!

"boom!"

】

The impact of the explosion exploded in the narrow corridor. Emiya Kiritsugu retreated as expected, and Kotomine Kirei, who was too late, could only pour all his magic power into his robe to strengthen its defense against magic.

With crackling sounds, the nails and teeth that scattered in all directions shattered the window frames, destroyed the walls, and damaged the doors. The robes blessed by magic power could no longer support it and completely lost their function with the sound of tearing under the heavy weight.

When the bombing of the heart grenade ended, what was exposed to Emiya Kiritsugu was the wounded and bleeding Executor of the Church, but even so, Kotomine Kirei still remained standing, as if he still had the strength to fight.

Monster - there is no other adjective to describe him. After so many blows, he still has not lost his fighting ability. Maybe he can fight against the Dead Apostles alone. What kind of deep obsession can turn a living flesh and blood body into such a terrifying weapon?

But even so, the distance has been widened, and without being able to defend against bullets, the only winner will be me.

With a faint thought flowing through his mind, Emiya Kiritsugu pointed the muzzle of his gun at Kotomine Kirei and pulled the trigger without mercy.

The water has spread to the chest.

The waterfall falling from the skylight seemed endless, and this dark room was like a sealed bottle, intended to imprison Weber forever until his death.

At the same time, Weber's fingers had already touched the soles of his shoes.

If it were the old me, I would have been defeated by panic by now, right?

A thought flashed through his mind, and Waver spoke in a low voice before the water blocked his mouth and nose:

(Remove).”

As an experienced agent, Kotomine Kirei did take away all the magic ceremonial equipment that he had hidden, but the only thing he did not expect was that there were some despicable things that only a guy like him with low magical talent could do.

For example, using modern creations as carriers of magic costumes.

If the teacher saw this behavior, which was similar to burying flowers in cow dung, he would definitely be furious, but it was also because of this that I got a glimmer of hope -

As the simple spell was lifted, a dagger with golden patterns appeared in Weber's hand.

Perhaps even Shuoyue himself didn't know that in the first half of the King's Banquet, the man who pretended to be Shuoyue handed him this dagger.

The cursed blade extracted from the Noble Phantasm that prevents wounds from healing is, at this moment, the key item for the special attack against the 'Snake Chain'.

He twisted his wrist and cut the chains that bound his body with an awkward gesture. Even though his posture was clumsy, when it touched the cold skin of the 'venomous snake', the bright yellow lines suddenly brightened. With a sharp hissing sound, the 'snake chain' was cut in half, completely losing the possibility of recovery.

Having untied the restraints on his ankles in the same way, Weber did not dare to stop. In the increasingly high water pool, he paddled to the door like a drowned dog and tried to open it, but found to his despair that it was locked.

The physical strength he recovered after removing the 'Snake Chain' dissipated at an extremely fast speed. If this continued, he would still not be able to escape the fate of being drowned.

How to do?

what should I do?

Help me!

Just when Weber was about to give up thinking and face death, the door that symbolized hope suddenly broke!

Pushed out of the room by the surging water, the thin Weber fell to the ground and began to cough loudly.

"Uh-huh-huh! Whoever it is, thank... ahem... thank you."

"You're welcome. It's just the master's order."

A strange voice, a cold answer.

When Waver raised his head and saw the face of his savior, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"You are!"

Chapter 175 Kotomine Kirei, Death by a Hundred Faces

Standing in front of Weber at this moment was an assassin with purple hair and black clothes, who seemed to be melting into the darkness.

But aren’t they dead?

If he is not dead... why did he reappear in front of us only now!

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Waver couldn't help but shudder and hugged his wet shoulders.

Or rather, the current Master has utilized this position to the greatest extent possible, until he was exposed in order to save me, hiding in the dark.

And before that, how much intelligence did they obtain from us who were unsuspecting? How many weaknesses did they discover?

This kind of thing makes me shudder just thinking about it!

Being soaked in water for a long time made Weber feel cold all over, and excessive thinking and worrying made his face turn blue, looking uglier than death.

So, who is the current Master?

Why would he save me?

Weber was puzzled, but no matter what, the fact that he was rescued was right in front of him. He didn't know when, the thing in front of him disappeared.

Staring intently at the place where the shadow disappeared, Waver murmured in a low voice:

Is this the last time?"

Only when they feel victory is assured, all the evildoers lurking in the dark will be exposed.

With an ominous premonition of impending storm, Weber shuddered and walked out of the church with cautious steps.

He escaped.

Looking at the pools of blood on the ground, Emiya Kiritsugu indifferently wiped the blood that had flowed to his chin, swung the gun upwards, closed the barrel, and it once again became an extremely hideous weapon.

Until now, his spirit is still tense and he dare not slack off even for a moment.

In this contest, it seemed that he had the upper hand and severely injured Kirei, while he himself only had his face scratched by the strong wind. The injuries caused by the Agent were even lighter than the backlash of the inherent time control.

But in fact this is not the case. Kotomine Kirei can withstand countless shootings until he loses his ability to fight.

But he, Emiya Kiritsugu, couldn't even take a punch from Kotomine Kirei.

"Click." The two guns made a pleasant and clear sound, and Kiritsugu Emiya took cautious steps and slowly moved towards the corner.

After the heart grenade worked wonders, the balance of victory had tipped towards him. The battle-hardened agent obviously realized this and decisively gave up the attack. Instead, he turned his back and began to retreat.

They were not fans of chivalry, nor did they have the Bushido spirit that the Japanese admired. Therefore, Kotomine Kirei felt no psychological pressure when using the heavy stance, and Emiya Kiritsugu was also not surprised and pulled the trigger decisively.

In the face of the fire from the muzzle, the agent in tattered robes fell to the ground in the corner of the aisle like a giant bird with broken wings, and disappeared. Then there was a "bang" sound, as if something was smashed open.

Is it a hidden mechanism in the church? Or has Kotomine Kirei taken out a trump card to reverse the defeat?

Several guesses flashed through his mind, but due to insufficient information, he could not confirm them. Emiya Kiritsugu silently adjusted his breathing, loaded his weapons, and approached the corner with full vigilance. He rolled over suddenly, and his "Inherent Time Control" was ready to go.

However, contrary to Emiya Kiritsugu's expectations, there was no trap at the nearly 90-degree corner, which was also the most suitable corner for ambushing the enemy. Even Kotomine Kirei himself disappeared. Only the hole in the wall that was smashed open was leaking air, telling the reason for the loud noise in a wronged manner.

Kotomine Kirei escaped, escaped in a simple and unpretentious manner.

Sometimes, this behavior can help deceive suspicious killers.

Looking outside the cave entrance, there was a dense bush. Kiritsugu Emiya bent down to pick up the pieces of his robe, then turned around and left without any reluctance.

Don't chase a desperate enemy, especially since Kotomine Kirei has the advantage of terrain, and the roles of hunter and prey may switch at any time.

He had no intention of fighting with Kotomine Kirei to the point of mutual destruction. Perhaps Kotomine Kirei regarded him as his nemesis, but his real enemy had never been this priest, but Sakutsuki who kidnapped Airi and Maiya.

The remaining thing is to rescue the Master.

With this thought in mind, Kiritsugu Emiya dragged his exhausted body and ran again in the dilapidated church, and then he met the young master who was walking with the help of the wall.

"Webber Velvet."

"Ah! You are the... the killer who killed Teacher Kenneth!"

"Whatever you think, at least this time, I came to save you at your request. If you don't want to die, follow me."

survived.

Kotomine Kirei was lying in the tunnel in a desperate state, his body covered with wounds from bullets. His left arm, abdomen, and right thigh were particularly badly injured. The bullets filled with necromancy not only destroyed his body, but also eroded his physical strength and his soul.

The robe on his body was tattered, and some of it was embedded in the flesh due to the impact of bullets. When they were ruthlessly pulled out by fingers, the blood that flowed out from the flesh made Kirei groan, but his brows were full of indifference.

He had experienced this kind of pain countless times when he was strengthening his muscles.

His pain comes from within, from the bitter fruit of failure he has tasted.

The Command Spells on his arms had been used up, but even so, he still did not cause any harm to the cunning hunter.

——But it doesn’t matter. During this battle, the information revealed by Emiya Kiritsugu was enough for Kotomine Kirei to see the possibility of victory.

As long as he returns to his side and recovers from his injuries, Kotomine Kirei is confident that he can win the next battle.

"Da da da."

The undisguised sound of footsteps came from afar, echoing in the cramped tunnel that resembled a tomb.

Someone is walking in the tunnel.

But, this is impossible!

Kotomine Kirei was certain that his hearing had been damaged in the battle. At this moment, besides him, someone else had come to this secret tunnel.

Is it Emiya Kiritsugu?

No, it's impossible. Judging from his character, he, who is always cautious, would never dare to catch up alone.

Then, apart from his father and him, who else would know about this secretly built escape tunnel?

Finally, the flickering torch illuminated the visitor's features.

An assassin with purple hair and black clothes, who seemed to be melting into the shadows.

Staring at this extremely familiar figure, Kotomine Kirei closed his eyes and sighed as if he had been toyed with by fate.

That was the Servant he had summoned and abandoned, and now, she had returned from the shadows to ring the evening bell for her former Master.

The vision was pitch black, but the image of a young man with white hair and golden eyes became clearer and clearer.

It begins with a hundred appearances, dies with a hundred appearances, but ends with the new moon.

"This is really... not pleasant at all."
