The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

After Kiritsugu Emiya spat out several mouthfuls of blood on the ground, he managed to stand up again. At this moment, he heard an explosion-like sound coming from the direction of the castle.

"Damn it, have they broken into the castle? Eri..." Emiya Kiritsugu forced his willpower to drive his body and continued to rush towards the castle. On the way, he started to call Maiya's contact number. After the call was finally connected, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately asked, "Maiya, how are you guys doing over there?"

"It is suspected that a powerful enemy Servant has broken into the castle. There are two Masters. One is the Master of the enemy Servant, a blond man who has never been seen before. The other is Lancer's Master, Kenneth El-Melloi. The two seem to have reached a cooperative relationship. The Master with the Servant has approached the Caster team, and Kenneth is looking for our whereabouts." Maiya's voice said in the communicator.

"Kenneth? He actually entered the castle as well? Wait, where did Kenneth's servant go? Doesn't he have any servants by his side?" Kiritsugu Emiya asked with a frown.

"Yes, Lancer is currently fighting against that alien Servant, Mordred, with Saber, so he is not with Kayneth for the time being," Maiya said.

"I see..." A deep light flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes. After understanding this simple information, he quickly figured out the next step to break the deadlock. Suppressing the pain in his body, he continued to rush towards the castle.

Chapter 104: Three Fierce Battles (Part 1)

"These damn ghosts are running around like fleas."

Kayneth was walking down a corridor in the pitch-black castle. Because the surroundings were filled with black fog, and Kayneth had covered himself in Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, Kayneth could not see his surroundings at all and could only walk slowly.

Fortunately, Kenneth had the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to detect and locate enemies, so he didn't have to worry about running into any traps. However, there were simply too many ghosts whistling in the surrounding black fog, and the occasional blind ghost would bump into Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which easily interfered with the fluid's positioning. This was the real reason why Kenneth could only walk slowly.

"Those ghosts are heading in the same direction. If my guess is correct, they should be that Caster Servant. Humph, fight, fight, it would be best if both sides are defeated, then I, Kenneth, can kill two birds with one stone."

From the very beginning, Kenneth has been using this alien Servant and her Master. In the Holy Grail War, the only victor is the one who survives to the end. Since everyone's positions are naturally opposed, the so-called alliance is nothing more than a matter of interests. If you can't even understand this point, and still fight this Holy Grail War with an attitude of mutual respect or even making friends, then in Kenneth's eyes, you are either as stupid as a pig, or so bad that even he can't see through you.

"Hmm? Why are there strange fluctuations coming from behind? Could it be that the master of the black knight is running towards me?" Suddenly, Kenneth stopped in his tracks. His Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid sensed someone moving towards him from a long distance behind him.

"Who is it?" Kenneth did not move, but waited quietly for the man to arrive.

……

Elsewhere in the castle, a great battle officially began. Wang Chong, transformed into Caster, was engaging in a fake match with Black Jeanne d'Arc.

"The more of those vengeful spirits you throw, the more I will be able to use them! Hahahaha, as one gains strength while the other loses, you will eventually be exhausted and defeated again like you were on the first night!" Black Jeanne d'Arc attacked with her sword and spear at the same time, and the two weapons and Wang Chong's Blade of the Ruined King kept colliding, making pleasant sounds.

"Really? Then what about this move? The Ruined King's Blade!" Instantly, Wang Chong wielded the Ruined King's Blade in a double slash. He had just finished a powerful thrust when he quickly raised the sword again, delivering a fierce and swift slash. However, both attacks were easily deflected by Black Jeanne's superhuman reflexes.

"Haha, is this all you have... Ugh!"

Black Jeanne's inflated laughter didn't last long before she suddenly uttered a muffled groan as if she was defeated. A golden sword energy suddenly appeared inexplicably and slashed on Black Jeanne's chest, directly knocking her back.

"How is this possible? I should have blocked the sword's attack. Even if there was any sword energy, it would have had to pass through my weapon. But how could this happen..." Everything happened so quickly that even Jeanne Black felt bewildered. Although the attack had only caused minor injuries, the unknown was often the most daunting and terrifying thing.

However, Joan of Arc, who had been secretly observing the match from the shadows, did catch a glimpse of the underlying mystery. Wang Chong's final sword strike seemed to be blocked by Black Joan of Arc, but a golden force emanated from the tip of the sword. This force completely ignored the object the tip of the sword touched, passing through it directly before forming a stream of sword energy that slashed at Black Joan of Arc.

"It seems Wang Chong-jun has a lot of hidden cards up his sleeve... As expected of him, he's always so cautious." Jeanne thought to herself, "But speaking of the other Master, how did he suddenly disappear? And where did he go?"

"Well, isn't this move of mine pretty good?" Wang Chong planted his greatsword in the ground, staring at Black Jeanne. "You do have the uncanny ability to absorb my ghosts and black mist. But that doesn't mean you can completely control me. I have many more abilities. Do you want to try them out one by one?"

"Don't get complacent, you bastard!" Black Jeanne gripped her spear tightly and slashed at Wang Chong. The two sides engaged in another fierce battle, the clash of weapons becoming increasingly deafening. Sand and gravel rained down all around them, as if the surrounding buildings could no longer withstand the magical aftermath of the two men's clash. Especially since Black Jeanne's flame bombardment and Wang Chong's "King's Order" repeatedly detonated ghosts, they had already blasted dents into the surroundings.

"If this continues, I'm afraid that guy will use his anti-military treasure, which will then cause a catastrophe for the entire castle. I don't know if Mrs. Irisviel and the others have escaped." Joan of Arc looked at the increasingly loud fighting between the two and began to worry.

Not only Jeanne d'Arc, but Wang Chong, who had been fighting Black Jeanne d'Arc, couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself, "Will Black Jeanne d'Arc really lose her temper? I remember that the Count of Monte Cristo, who was once an avenger, also had his will constantly be driven wild and controlled by the will of revenge due to continuous high-intensity battles. Could it be that Black Jeanne d'Arc is also in this situation now?"

Meanwhile, Jeanne d'Arc's thoughts were somewhat unexpected. "Although I'm not sure what constitutes a real fight, at worst I'll just resort to a real fight. Humph, you think I'm easy to please every day. When you do that kind of thing with those three brats every night, do you really think I don't know? Humph, I'm just too lazy to care, not entangled or envious! Now that you've given me a chance, I'm going to teach your philandering Master a lesson!"

If Wang Chong knew what Black Jeanne was thinking at the moment, he would probably be in a state of confusion.

……

In the Magic Mirror Forest, an extremely fierce duel was also taking place. At this moment, Artoria and Diarmait joined forces to fight against Mordred. Since Mordred did not use his treasure, the two sides were really fighting hard.

"What amazing martial arts and strength! Knight King, how did you manage to kill this wild beast on the Sword Hill?" Diarmuid couldn't help but say after stabbing Mordred in the face with both guns and forcing him back once again.

"Huh... Mordred's power now is strange, almost approaching the level she had in her lifetime. I wonder what kind of object her Master uses to possess her." Altria spoke slowly, then said, "However, Mordred's strength is not surprising to me. Back then, everyone in the Knights was very strong, and there were many who were stronger than me. All I relied on was the power of the Holy Sword and the sharpness of the Holy Lance."

"Is that so? Then I really want to see the abilities of the other Knights of the Round Table." Diarmait said involuntarily.

"Oh, to learn from the others? I'm really being looked down upon." Mordred sneered from the other side. At this moment, as if she had made a decision, she pointed her sword at Diarmait and said, "Hey! That Lancer, you deliberately used tactics to deceive King Arthur, causing him to carelessly remove his armor. Then you used that yellow spear... or what's it called, the yellow rose, to stab King Arthur, causing irreparable damage and leading to his defeat, right?"

"So what?" Diarmait narrowed his eyes slightly. Although they had only fought briefly a few times, he already knew that Mordred was not the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense. What did she want to do by saying this?

"Hehe, hahahaha, that's easy, isn't it?" After Modred finished speaking, his whole body shook, and all the armor on his body turned into spirit particles and disappeared. Just like Altria before, he discarded his heavy armor and pursued the ultimate attack.

"Well, come again, and see whether it is your yellow rose that pierces my flesh first, or my sword that cuts off your head first! Hahahahahaha!" After laughing wildly, the next moment, Mordred turned into a red light, and pointed his sword at Diarmait with lightning speed.

"So fast!" This sword was more than half as fast as the previous one. Diarmuid had almost no time to resist. Instead, it was Artoria, who had been using her intuition and had her strength enhanced, who swung her sword in the first time to block the attack.

"boom!!"

Mordred actually knocked Artoria back with one sword, and Diarmuid, seeing that Artoria was in a disadvantageous situation, was about to use the special effect of the yellow rose to force Mordred back as he had done before.

But the next moment, Mordred did not dodge or evade, completely ignoring the yellow rose that was piercing his lower abdomen. He arrived first and slashed at Diarmait's face at a faster speed.

"This guy!" Diarmuid was shocked by such a desperate fighting style. He could not help but use the red rose to resist, and the yellow rose could not help but retreat.

The ending was not unexpected. Mordred was also knocked away by Mordred's strange power, and a bloody mark was left on his shoulder, which looked very creepy.

Chapter 105: Three Fierce Battles (Part 2)

"Bang!" With just one blow, Diarmait was sent flying by the immense force. A bloody cut was left on his shoulder, and the blood spilled onto the grass, staining it red. Mordred's attack didn't stop just because he was sent flying. Mordred leaped forward, ready to pursue Diarmait.

"Diarmait..." Seeing Diarmait being injured, Artoria didn't bother to adjust her breathing, and hurried forward with her sword, once again blocking Mordred's next attack for Diarmait.

"Bang!" The two swords collided, and a violent impact suddenly broke out. The two figures retreated several steps together.

"Hah... hah..." Artoria gasped heavily. Just now, in order to save Diarmait, she was not fully prepared and was forcibly collided with by Mordred, causing the magic power in her body to be disordered. She felt a tearing pain in her body. For a moment, she was frozen in place and did not move.

On the other hand, Mordred was in great shape. After freeing himself from the armor, besides the increase in strength and speed, he also felt a sense of spiritual liberation. It was as if he had been freed from his shackles and could do whatever he wanted without hesitation.

It was precisely this indomitable momentum that not only enabled him to eliminate Diarmuid with one blow in a split second between life and death, but also allowed him to remain undefeated after a subsequent head-on battle with Artoria, and repel the opponent again.

"Heh, it seems that you are just so-so. You can't even take my move." Noticing the embarrassed state of Artoria and Diarmait, Mordred mocked them without any hesitation.

"Huh... Huh... What a madman he is! He actually gave such a reckless answer. But... as the saying goes, when two meet in a narrow road, the bravest wins. In this contest, I admit defeat." Diarmait pressed the burning wound on his shoulder, recalling the defensive position he had just taken. He couldn't help but shake his head at himself. He actually retreated in a life-and-death fight. What happened to him?

"Oh, it's just a natural consequence. The movement of your swords and spears has already told me one thing. You have too many messed-up things on your mind! You hesitate and only know how to look ahead and behind!"

After saying that, Mordred raised her sword and attacked again. This time, she took the initiative to step forward, and the long sword once again pointed directly at the two of them.

The same reckless attack was used again, but this time, the first target was Altria. Mordred swung his royal sword, a whirlwind of energy, towards Altria! Seeing Mordred's menacing attack, Altria focused her mind, and without a second thought, she immediately raised her sword to meet him. The two swords clashed fiercely once again, a dazzling burst of sparks! The blades collided with a deafening roar, and two waves of energy erupted simultaneously, collapsing the surrounding bushes!

Artoria gritted her teeth and withstood the recoil, barely managing to find her footing after shifting her feet. Mordred, however, remained unharmed, a look of triumph on his face. Artoria felt a sharp pain in her arm, and her magic power became increasingly chaotic, but she didn't retreat. Instead, she gritted her teeth and confronted Mordred.

At the same time, Diarmait did not sit idly by and took the initiative to attack. Although he was still injured, his eyes were still firm. This time he must wash away the shame of retreating just now.

"Saber, leave it to me!" Diarmait shouted, waving the yellow rose and rushing towards Mordred.

"Lancer, I'll hold her back and leave it to you to deal with it!" said Altria.

"Stop dreaming!" Modred twisted the swords of both parties to the side, and then he hit Artoria's head with his head. With a "bang", Artoria was caught off guard and was forced back by the head hit. She also felt dizzy for a short time.

"Come on! Let me see if you've improved since before! Let's fight! Hahahaha!" The madness in Mordred's eyes deepened, making people wonder whether her class was Saber or Berserker.

Just like the previous duel, after the two men's weapons collided with each other several times, Diarmait, seizing the flaw, stabbed Mordred's heart this time, while Mordred also raised his sword and chopped at Diarmait's head again.

Modred has never had the slightest fear in this regard. After all, she was just like this on the Sword Hill. Even though her body was pierced by the Holy Spear, she still managed to hit Artoria's head, which led to her death.

However, Diarmait, a warrior who had also faced life-or-death situations before, was no longer afraid after reflecting on his past. As he had just said, when two sides meet on a narrow road, the brave prevails. This time, he would definitely take his opponent's life and bring victory.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Diarmait's spear stopped moving. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because he felt a terrible pain. However, it was this sudden pause that caused him to miss the best chance to kill Mordred and put him in imminent danger of death.

"hateful!"

Instantly, the instincts accumulated from countless battles were fully activated. Diarmait turned his head and bent his waist as far as he could. But even so, the sharp sword wrapped in the aura not only smashed Diarmait's head into a bloody mess, but also deeply cut Diarmait's shoulder.

"Drink!"

However, Diarmait did not give up. He first lay down on the ground to prevent the sword from going any further. The enough time he created finally allowed Diarmait to successfully stab Mordred's hand with the red spear in his right hand, forcing Mordred to put away his sword.

"Teng!"

With a powerful downward kick, Diarmait was sent flying backward like a slingshot, trying to temporarily distance himself from Mordred. Just as Mordred was about to catch up, he felt a golden light attack him. It turned out that Altria had successfully shaken off the dizziness and was fighting Mordred again.

"My lord, what happened on your side... Why are you suddenly so nervous?" After seeing Artoria holding back Mordred, Diarmuid was able to take a breath and stand up. His left shoulder was severely injured, and it would be difficult for him to attack flexibly with his left hand.

Diarmait had paused for a moment because he sensed something was wrong with Kayneth, who seemed to have sustained considerable damage. However, because Kayneth hadn't called out to him, Diarmait hadn't left the battlefield.

"What a terrible guy, and he's so lucky... We should have captured him right away... But who could have expected this result." Diarmait said somewhat unwillingly, then, holding the gun in one hand, he charged into the battlefield again.

……

Time goes back to a few minutes ago. In Einzbern Castle, Kenneth was waiting for the arrival of the person behind him whom he had monitored. However, just when the other party was about to reach his position, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid brought him other feedback.

"Hmm? The black fog actually dissipated? It seems that to deal with that black knight, we have to collect all the black fog that has escaped from the castle? Humph! That's perfect. The black fog is disappearing in the direction of the guy following behind. This means I will have the upper hand."

So Kenneth broke free from the encirclement of the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid and began to walk in the direction where the black fog faded away. The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid also entered standby mode, ready to attack the guy who walked out of the black fog at any time.

"Here they come!" Seeing a figure emerge from the black fog, Kenneth's pupils shrank slightly. He could sense that the other party was not the master of the previous black knight. This could only be an enemy!

"Dilectus incursio (Auto Attack)!"

Without any hesitation, Kenneth used the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid to launch an attack. The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid transformed into several tentacle-like things and rushed towards the figure in the black fog at a very fast speed.

"Innate Time Control!" The black mist dissipated at that instant, revealing a slightly gloomy and serious face—Emiya Kiritsugu. Facing the onslaught of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, Emiya Kiritsugu unhesitatingly used his Magic Seal once more, accelerating to swiftly dodge the onslaught, and swiftly bypassed Kayneth, fleeing in the direction he was facing.

"Huh? Wow?" In Kenneth's eyes, he saw that Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly ran at a speed that was completely incompatible with human speed, and escaped and disappeared behind him. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, but with Kenneth's magical vision, he quickly saw the trick.

"You transformed your body into a barrier and manipulated time to speed it up? It seems you've learned some magic." Kayneth said with a hint of approval, but then shook his head and said, "After all, you're a guy who's been influenced by magic, but you've become a despicable villain who relies on cheap tricks. Death will make you see yourself clearly, Emiya Kiritsugu."

That's right, even if it was only a brief moment, Kenneth still recognized the man who escaped from his side. The other party was the one he had to kill this time. Whether it was for cooperation with the Black Knight Master or to avenge the destruction of the magic workshop last night, he must not let the other party go this time.

"Ire:sanctio (track and kill)!"

Chapter 106: Three Fierce Battles (Part 2)

"Ire:sanctio (track and kill)!"

Kenneth gave the order to track, and in the next moment, countless tentacles appeared from the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and began to stretch out in all directions, chasing Kiritsugu Emiya like a spider web, looking for his whereabouts.

"Controlling time within the body should place a considerable strain on the body... Humph, I won't be able to get far." Kayneth crossed his arms, tapping his fingers on his arms, and slowly waited for the results of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. Soon, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid vibrated and immediately found Emiya Kiritsugu's location.

"I found you... Well, with that body of yours, how long can you escape? Hehehe..." Kenneth followed the movement of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and chased in a certain direction.

……

Meanwhile, Emiya Kiritsugu sprinted towards a place clear of black fog. He soon reached a corner and began panting heavily. He nearly coughed up blood again. However, Emiya Kiritsugu did not let his guard down and even used the Magic Seal once again: "Inherent Time Control: Triple Stasis!"

In an instant, all of Emiya Kiritsugu's vital reactions began to slow, even his heartbeat slowing down, remaining silent for a long time. At this moment, a drop of Moon Spirit Marrow quietly dripped from his side, emitting a gentle magical wave that sensed the surroundings.

Emiya Kiritsugu had already investigated the characteristics of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid ceremonial outfit. The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's search for enemies did not rely on observation, but on sensing fluctuations and heat sources in the air. As long as Emiya Kiritsugu slowed down the time in his body to one third of its original speed, and slowed down all life reactions including heartbeat and breathing to the limit, then the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid would not be able to know his location.

When the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid returned, Emiya Kiritsugu finally unleashed his magic, nearly losing consciousness due to his heart stopping. Then, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately made all preparations. He had already thoroughly studied Kayneth and knew how to kill him.

Kiritsugu Emiya took out the modified pistol from his previous Thompson competitor, put in a bullet with extremely strong penetration, and then put it in his arms, waiting for the other party to arrive.

The reason why he didn't use the fatal Origin Bullet right away was because Kiritsugu Emiya had to find a way to lure Kayneth into activating all of his magic circuits. Then, when that time came, Kiritsugu Emiya would use the Origin Bullet to hit Kayneth, thus destroying all of Kayneth's magic circuits with the greatest effect, turning him into a complete cripple.

"Here they come." Hearing the footsteps, Emiya Kiritsugu made preparations and secretly waited for the other party to arrive.

Kenneth also walked out of the corner and began to look to the left to see if he could find Kiritsugu Emiya's location.

"Kenneth."

A sound suddenly came from the right. Kenneth was startled and immediately turned to the right. He heard the sound of "da da da da da..." and the intense sound of bullet shooting began to sound.

However, with just a split second of reaction, Kenneth was able to use his magic circuits to release the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, blocking all the bullets fired at him. Kenneth even taunted him, "Fool, you actually warned the enemy. Do you think you can hurt me with such a cheap weapon? You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

But Emiya Kiritsugu seemed unconcerned and continued to shoot at Kayneth. Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu's unyielding attitude, Kayneth shrugged lazily. In his opinion, such a weak attack couldn't break through the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's defenses. He even continued to taunt, "You know this attack is useless, but you still refuse to give up. I don't know if you're just stupid or stubborn."

At this time, after feeling that Kenneth had relaxed his vigilance, Kiritsugu Emiya threw the Calico M950 submachine gun in his hand to the ground, took out the Thompson Rival from his arms, aimed it at Kenneth who had been injected with Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then fired.

"boom--!"

"Uhh—!!"

An unimaginable pain shot through his left shoulder. Kenneth clutched his wound. If it weren't for his exceptional magical skills, which successfully prevented the wound from expanding further and staunched the bleeding, Kenneth would have been completely wounded, unable to rise. Along with the pain, rage flared within Kenneth's chest.

"Scalp!" Kenneth immediately controlled the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to chop at Emiya Kiritsugu, but he dodged it easily. While dodging, Kiritsugu picked up the submachine gun again and attacked Kenneth further.

However, the Moon Spirit Marrow once again transformed into a shield, blocking the bullets for Kayneth. After seeing this, Emiya Kiritsugu stopped shooting and immediately fled, escaping Kayneth's sight.

"Heh...heh..." Kenneth was panting with big beads of sweat on his forehead. He couldn't believe that the self-defense of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which he was so proud of, was actually broken through by the opponent's strange pistol.

"No! I was just careless against his simple attack! That's right, it wasn't the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that was the problem; it was me not using my full strength!" Kenneth thought bitterly. If he encountered this strange pistol again, he would definitely use a stronger, faster, and more efficient defense to intercept the opponent's bullets. Even if he had to use all his magic circuits, he would definitely wash away this shame!

"Shame on the magician! Despicable scum! How dare you make me bleed! I will make you pay an unimaginable price!!" Kenneth continued to manipulate the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to destroy everything it passed through, as if venting his anger.

However, little did he know that the moment Kenneth used the idea of ​​trying his best, he fell completely into the trap carefully prepared for him by Emiya Kiritsugu.

……

Outside the castle, Irisviel and Maiya had already escaped from somewhere. According to Emiya Kiritsugu's communication, he had told Irisviel and Maiya to find a way to leave the Magic Mirror Forest first, and he would stay and take care of everything.
