Chapter 18. A Wish!

"I never expected things to turn out this way."

Kirei Kotomine, clutching his bleeding right arm, glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya, whose figure was gradually disappearing ahead, and spoke.

The fact that all the Servants had gathered was something none of the Masters had anticipated.

Even Caster and Lancer, who were originally fighting on the other side, have moved here.

The hidden Berserker and Rider have also made their appearance.

This was a completely unplanned change.

The magic power is being constantly drained; this is a phenomenon that occurs after the Servants fight.

(Cannot stay long.)

Having realized this, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was hiding, thought to himself.

Although he injured Kirei Kotomine's right hand, he himself was not unharmed either.

His body was covered in bruises from the blows, causing him considerable pain.

(What's over there?)

He could only vaguely sense that the Servants had gathered there, and he was still unaware of what exactly had happened.

"Oh my, this is quite a surprising sight."

The unfamiliar voice caused Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya to frown.

Looking up, I saw a figure on the street.

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald!

The name of the newcomer simultaneously flashed into their minds.

One of the monarchs of the Clock Tower, and an assistant to the current Lancer Master.

"I originally just wanted Lancer to chase Caster and dispel the magic, but I accidentally saw two Masters fighting here."

He strode forward, with slime-like creatures following beside him.

"If we take care of both of you in one go, Sora will have it much easier."

Kenneth, as an assistant, would certainly not let such a great opportunity slip by.

If these two are killed, two Servants will lose their Masters and be forced to leave the game.

"Oh? Want to test the difference between us?"

"In the end, he's just a magician from the countryside."

"Completely short-sighted."

Kenneth said coldly as he looked at Kirei Kotomine, who had pulled out a black key and was holding it between his fingers.

He might be somewhat interested if he were facing the heads of the Tohsaka or Matou families in the area.

The two men before me, Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya, are a disgrace to the magician world: one is merely a disciple of the Tohsaka family, and the other is a scoundrel among magicians.

How could he possibly be his match?

With such an arrogant mindset, he then gave instructions to the "Moon Spirit Essence Liquid".

"!"

"!"

As the tentacle-like mercury approached, the two, each in a different location, immediately sprang into action.

(Let's retreat first.)

With this in mind, Kiritsugu had no intention of lingering any longer.

In this situation, it would be difficult for him to kill Kirei Kotomine, and he also needed to personally verify the situation of Irisviel and Maiya.

"Bang"

After Kiritsugu used his magic to dodge another attack, he took the opportunity to head to the location of the hidden vehicle to prepare for his escape.

"Boom!!"

He stepped on the gas and drove the vehicle straight off in a certain direction.

"That magic trick, the runaway was pretty fast."

"Hmph, too bad, you can't escape."

Somewhat surprised by Kiritsugu's "time" magic, Kenneth pondered it for a while before letting Kiritsugu leave.

Did this maverick in the magic world think he came without doing anything?

"Let's start with you, the Tohsaka family's watchdog."

Looking at Kirei Kotomine blocking the mercury in front of him, Kenneth smiled and spoke.

.........

"Waaaaah!!"

The vehicle was speeding along the road when Kiritsugu noticed something was wrong.

Nobody!

He didn't encounter a single person on his entire drive.

Even if Kirei Kotomine's area wasn't a high-traffic street, it couldn't possibly be this desolate.

"Aww!"

A dark shadow moved swiftly across the ground, and then the figure of a wolf emerged.

Familiar!

The figure that soared in made its identity known, and Kiritsugu fired without hesitation, raising his gun with one hand.

"Bang!!"

The immense power blew his body apart, and Kiritsugu knew what Kenneth had done.

"Has this entire area been set up with magic?"

"They even used vengeful spirits, familiars, and labyrinths."

Such a grand gesture can only be described as being very much in line with the methods of the Clock Tower Monarch.

The lack of Servant support is a big problem for him.

"We need to find the placement points first."

He was trapped in a looping maze, and if he didn't solve it, he certainly wouldn't be able to escape.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"

After continuously firing his gun and blasting away the attacking vengeful spirits and familiars, Kiritsugu's initial idea of ​​using Command Spells faded away.

Perhaps this is also an opportunity for him.

…………

"Clang!!"

"Bang!!"

While the Masters have begun their battles, the Servants have already started their own operations.

Lancer and Caster

Berserker and Assassin

Rider and Saber

Aside from Archer, who always stood on the streetlight, everyone else had a clear goal.

"You bastard! Break this weird magic circle right now!"

Manipulating the chains formed by magic, Sakura Kyoko chased after Jonouchi, shouting angrily.

"Looking at you, how could I dare to remove it for you!"

"Draw a card to summon a new monster to defend against the incoming attack," Jonouchi retorted.

He was truly impressed by this little girl; her attacks were not only fierce but also incredibly persistent.

That peculiar clone was used entirely as a substitute to consume his hand cards and "traps".

"Bang!!"

The katana and longsword clashed, producing a pleasant clanging sound.

(Even his swordsmanship is so proficient. Who is he?)

Kenshin looked at the Berserker wielding a katana ahead, and became even more curious.

I thought it was one thing for the other party to be proficient in greatswords, spears, heavy axes, and magic, but to be so skilled in swordsmanship was another.

It felt like a Japanese swordsmanship, but the style the opponent was using was completely unfamiliar to me.

But at that very moment, the flashing sword energy in front of him made him raise his sword to block.

The Five Great Swords of the World!

Several trenches were cut into the ground, and visible blue sword energy swept forward.

Compared to the struggles of others, Lelouch as Rider and Artoria as Saber were much calmer.

Lelouch, who was initially on guard, was quite surprised to see Saber suddenly stop "going crazy".

He didn't really understand what kind of brain circuit this so-called "Knight King" was.

Rather, he simply couldn't understand women's way of thinking.

But as long as it doesn't bother him, there's no problem.

"Can you tell me?"

"What is your wish?"

But Saber's next words startled him.

"What's it to you?"

"I just want to know... if you really are the King of Britain, what exactly is your wish that needs to be fulfilled?"

Despite being rejected, Saber was no longer embarrassed as before, and instead spoke softly.

"What if I said it was for so-called world peace?"

Upon hearing this, Saber was stunned.

She seemed to have heard Kiritsugu say something similar.

It's fine for Kiritsugu to say it, but it seems a bit awkward coming from Rider, a Heroic Spirit.
