The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 226 The Fisherman Reaps the Benefit

Tokiomi Tohsaka has always been known for his calmness and wisdom. In this fierce battle, his eyes were like those of a hawk, constantly searching for his opponent's weaknesses.

He astutely seized a fleeting opening and launched a counterattack without hesitation.

He moved his hands, magic surged, and a raging flame roared like an angry dragon as it shot towards Matou Kariya.

The flames were incredibly hot, and the air around them was distorted by the heat.

Matou Kariya reacted quickly.

"Fireflies!"

A swarm of strange insects emerged from the ground. These insects radiated an eerie light, their exoskeletons were as hard as iron, and they possessed extremely high resistance to fire magic.

The flames struck the barrier formed by the insects, producing a dull thud and sending sparks flying.

However, the insects held their ground and successfully blocked the fierce flames.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, seeing that his first attack had missed, was not discouraged, but continued to launch attacks.

His eyes gleamed with determination as his hands moved in a series of magical hand gestures.

Just then, a gunshot rang out abruptly, shattering the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.

Tokiomi Tohsaka felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He looked down and saw that his right hand had been hit by a bullet.

The powerful impact smashed his right hand to pieces, leaving it a bloody mess.

His cane fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Even after suffering such severe trauma, Tokiomi Tohsaka remained calm.

His mind raced as he considered the current situation.

[It's a sniper rifle; only the mage assassin Kiritsugu Emiya uses firearms.]

He instantly identified the attacker.

At this moment, Matou Kariya had not yet realized what had happened.

"Bang~ Bang~" Two gunshots rang out.

Matou Kariya collapsed to the ground in pain.

His knees were smashed and blood was gushing out.

He struggled to get away, but felt a chill on his neck.

"Don't move." A cold voice rang out, and Saber's sword was already at his neck.

Seeing that things were not going well, Tokiomi Tohsaka took the opportunity to run into the nearby woods, trying to find a chance to escape.

However, he had only run a few steps when Kiritsugu Emiya pointed a gun at him and forced him to retreat.

It turned out that they had been attracted by the commotion caused by Wes.

Unexpectedly encountering Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Tokiomi here, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately devised a plan to capture the two alive.

With his calm mind and excellent tactical arrangements, he ensured that the plan progressed smoothly.

Finally, he used a prop from the Einzbern family to seal the magic within the two, successfully bringing the situation under control.

Kiritsugu Emiya pressed the gun tightly against Kariya Matou's head, his eyes cold and sharp.

Where is Alice?

His voice was deep and imposing.

However, at this moment, Kariya Matou ignored Kiritsugu Emiya.

His gaze passed over Kiritsugu Emiya and fixed on the disheveled Tokiomi Tohsaka. He sneered loudly, "I never thought you'd end up like this."

At this moment, he felt incredibly relieved, as if years of pent-up resentment had been released.

Seeing the once high and mighty Tokiomi Tohsaka now so destitute, Kariya Matou felt a surge of pleasure.

"Bang!!" Without hesitation, Kiritsugu Emiya shot Kariya in the thigh with his gun.

There was not a trace of pity on his face.

"Answer my question," he repeated.

"Heh heh." Matou Kariya let out a chilling laugh, a laugh filled with madness and provocation. "Is that all you've got?"

His tone was full of disdain; the torment inflicted by Kiritsugu Emiya was utterly insignificant to him.

When the mark worms are implanted in the body, the pain of being eaten alive by the worms is far more painful than being shot.

The insects crawled rampantly inside his body, gnawing at his flesh and soul; the pain was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes grew even colder. Without hesitation, he pulled out a dagger and plunged it into Kariya Matou's abdomen, then began to twist it repeatedly.

Cold sweat broke out on Matou Kariya's forehead, and his face turned pale, but his eyes were still full of stubbornness.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"That's more like it!"

Kiritsugu Emiya held the gun to Kariya Matou's head again, his heart filled with anger and helplessness.

"Shoot! Shoot me now if you dare!" Matou Kariya roared, his eyes filled with madness and provocation.

Kiritsugu Emiya was caught in a dilemma. He knew that if he fired the gun, he might never find Alice's whereabouts; but if he didn't fire, Kariya Matou wouldn't easily reveal Alice's location.

"It's no use," Tokiomi Tohsaka said from the side. "He survived the Matou family's Crest Worms' modification. Ordinary punishments have no effect on him, and his life can only be sustained for a maximum of two months."

A complex emotion flashed in Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes; he felt a pang of sympathy for Kariya Matou's plight, yet also a sense of helplessness at his madness.

How could someone who is destined to die be afraid of death? Tokiomi Tohsaka knew this well, and he knew that Kiritsugu Emiya's actions were futile.

Kariya Matou burst into laughter, his laughter filled with madness and despair. "That's right, if you want to know where your wife is, kill him!"

Matou Kariya pointed at Tohsaka Tokiomi with his right hand, his eyes full of provocation.

He knew that Kiritsugu Emiya wouldn't kill Tokiomi Tohsaka easily, because he still needed to get more information from Tokiomi Tohsaka.

But he also knew that his life was almost over, and he wanted to use his last moments to take revenge on Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Of course, Kiritsugu Emiya wouldn't kill Tokiomi Tohsaka so easily, since he still needed to obtain a lot of important information from Tokiomi Tohsaka.

He put away his gun and pulled out a stun baton from his person.

Without hesitation, he pressed the stun gun against Matou Kariya's body and pressed the switch.

Instantly, a powerful electric current passed through Matou Kariya's body, causing him to tremble violently before losing consciousness and falling into a coma.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the unconscious Matou Kariya without a trace of pity.

Just as he was about to deal with Tokiomi Tohsaka in the same way, an unexpected incident suddenly occurred.

A masked person suddenly appeared behind him, like a ghost, without making a sound.

The man moved with extreme agility, gripping a sharp dagger tightly in his hand, which gleamed coldly in the dim light.

Without hesitation, he slashed the dagger at Kiritsugu Emiya's neck, so fast that no one had time to react.

"When?" Kiritsugu Emiya was filled with shock and confusion.
