Looking at the scorched earth in front of him that was razed to the ground by missiles, Luo Wei, who was standing high on the edge of the jungle, finally released the protection of the Earth Angel Uriel.
At this moment, he looked at the ruins in front of him with a grim expression.
Especially when he used the protection of the Earth Angel Uriel and the Earth Spirit Nomu, he could even directly feel the silent mourning of the earth and forest. Not only that, in his heart, Luo Wei could feel the souls of those who died in the explosion lingering above the jungle.
This tragic scene made him feel uncomfortable at the moment.
"A righteous partner, such a righteous partner..."
"To achieve your goal, you'll do whatever it takes, even if it means harming innocent people. This is the necessary sacrifice for justice. Is this how you practice justice in your heart? Emiya Kiritsugu...it seems I misunderstood you."
"Compared to Tōsaka Tokiomi, Matou Kariya, and Kotomine Kirei, perhaps you are the truly hopeless one..."
As he muttered to himself, Rowe's face became increasingly gloomy, and then he took Scathach and walked towards a certain direction on the edge of the forest.
For some things, he already had the answer in his heart at this moment.
……
Buzzing--! ! !
At this moment, Fuyuki City also sounded a shrill air defense alarm because of the dozen or so incoming missiles. All the people who were still asleep were awakened, and they all looked at the violent explosions that erupted from the direction of the forest in horror.
It has been almost fifty years since the end of the World War, and the residents of the Far East have been away from war for too long. The sudden bombardment of missiles tonight has undoubtedly triggered panic in the hearts of every resident.
Some elderly people who had personally experienced that era were so frightened by this scene that their teeth began to chatter, and the bad memories of the past when they were baptized by artillery fire once again flooded back into their minds.
That night, the police, fire department, and city government—every phone line from Fuyuki City to the Far East—were bombarded with calls. The mayor of Fuyuki, an elderly man nearing retirement, nearly fainted from the shock of the night's ordeal. Ultimately, it was the deputy mayor of Fuyuki who called the Prime Minister to inquire about the situation.
And Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was hiding in a corner of Fuyuki City and continuing to look for opportunities, couldn't help but curse after seeing this shocking scene.
These damned bastards are really blowing things out of proportion! How could they possibly hide something like this?
Yan Fengli, who had just woken up from a coma, fainted again after hearing this shocking news.
In short, whether in the secular world or the mystical world, what happened tonight has reached a point where it is difficult to control.
The incident cannot be covered up anymore, and any lie seems so powerless in the face of this bloody reality.
They can't say that the gas tank leaked and flew into the sky, and then fell to the ground and exploded, right?
……
Not only them, but also everyone else is on the highway in Fuyuki City.
A red-haired beauty in a windbreaker, a cigarette dangling from her lips, pressed her foot firmly on the accelerator, accelerating the SUV, which was already at its limit, as fast as she could. She wanted to get the two guys behind her, who had just been rescued from the missile attack, out before the panic caused the city of Fuyuki to be closed.
"Ken... Mr. Kenneth, were those missiles just now aimed at us?"
On the back seat of the SUV, the disheveled Weber spoke tremblingly. At this moment, he no longer had the longing he had when he followed the King of Conquerors, nor the calmness and determination he had when he faced the King of Heroes. His confused eyes were filled with fear.
"You're talking nonsense! It's obvious...it's coming towards us...ah."
Not only Weber, Kenneth was not in a very good condition at the moment. He had just been rescued from the edge of the explosion, and then the feeling of experiencing life and death at speed was not very good for him.
While the missile landing was far less spectacular than the direct confrontation with the Star of Creation, it was the closest he'd ever come to a brush with death. If his reconnaissance familiar hadn't predicted the impending danger, and if someone hadn't prepared a means of transport to rescue him, he'd be dying by now. After all, he wasn't so arrogant as to believe his Moon Spirit Essence could withstand that level of damage.
But then again...
Kenneth looked at the red-haired woman who was driving the SUV while smoking a cigarette, his eyes full of confusion.
Of course he couldn't not recognize the red-haired beauty driving in front of him.
After all, the other party is a well-known genius in the Clock Tower and even in the entire mysterious world, and the age gap between him and his own generation is actually not that big. He has always compared himself with this genius.
So the moment he appeared, Kenneth recognized his identity.
She was many years ago——
Aozaki Touko, the most wanted criminal sealed in the Clock Tower by the Law and Politics Department, is a genius who revived the original rune magic base in modern times and achieved unprecedented achievements in the field of puppet magic.
When he saw her suddenly appear and urge them to get in the car quickly, Kenneth was actually confused. However, because the situation was too urgent, his detection demon had already sensed the deadly threat approaching, so he had no time to think and could only drag Weber into the car.
The continuous huge explosions and flames shooting into the sky in the forest behind him also verified his detection results and proved that his choice was absolutely correct.
There was a damn guy who actually started to use missiles to clean up the place, wanting to get rid of all the masters who came to attack him once and for all.
As for who that damn guy is...
Kenneth could have guessed it even with his toes.
It's Emiya Kiritsugu again, that damned mage scum.
As early as the first night, Kenneth knew the opponent's despicable tactics. It was clearly a battle between magicians, but he not only used hot weapons such as pistols and submachine guns, but also took out an RPG.
In order to hunt down magicians more efficiently, they also created targeted killer bullets that would terrify magicians.
When he saw this, Kenneth thought that Kiritsugu Emiya had already used up all the tricks he could.
However, he hadn't expected the other party's methods to be even more despicable and extreme than he had imagined, even resorting to weapons like missiles. They completely disregarded the rules and regulations of the Holy Grail War, putting them to death simply for the sake of victory.
With such a big mess at the moment, let alone the supervisor here, even if he is asked to take action personally with the entire mineral department, he will not be able to handle it. Any carelessness will cause a large-scale mysterious leak. For now, it can only be reported to the Clock Tower for resolution.
As for the Templar Church, they are also closely related to this incident. It is definitely the fault of the supervisor for his negligence.
I just don't know what the attitude of the magic organization in East Asia, the Spiral Pavilion, is?
After all, he and Weber had caused such a commotion in the Far East when they participated in the Holy Grail War. The nature of this was no different from directly blowing up someone's door. If he was not careful, it would cause friction between the two magical organizations, the Clock Tower and the Spiral Pavilion. He might have to go out and avoid the limelight because of this incident.
"Alas... what bad luck!"
Thinking about how he had originally set out on the expedition with full confidence, but now ended up in disgrace and had to flee in panic, Kenneth felt complicated and couldn't help but sigh.
However, when he looked at Waver beside him, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
No matter what, he not only survived this hellish battlefield, but also found his two traitors. This was already his biggest gain.
Other than that...
The Holy Grail? Heroic Spirit?
They are all a bunch of damn things, he won't keep up with them.
As early as when he retreated, he used the Three-Stroke Command Spell to let Finn stop the threat for them, then terminated the contract and decisively withdrew from the Holy Grail War to avoid being hunted down by Gilgamesh.
"Ugh……"
After calming down a little, Kenneth controlled his emotions and asked Aozaki Touko who was driving in front with a puzzled look.
"Um...Miss Aozaki, where are you taking us?"
Kenneth's tone was a little confused and uneasy. Although he was able to escape safely and survive thanks to the help of Aozaki Touko, he did not intend to let down his guard against the savior in front of him.
After all, no matter how you think about it, this incident can't be a coincidence.
After all, how could it be possible that someone would coincidentally pass by the battlefield where you are, and coincidentally meet them just before the missile falls, and even more coincidentally prepare a means of escape and send them out by chance?
Anyone with a little common sense would know that Aozaki Touko was obviously waiting for them there in advance.
However, it was this incident that made Kenneth extremely confused. After all, he had neither hatred nor favor with Aozaki Touko, so how could the other party come to pick him up specially?
Moreover... before his dream of winning the game was completely shattered by Gilgamesh's Star of Separation, he still looked confident of victory. How could he arrange for someone to pick him up and escape? That's why Kenneth was extremely confused about the situation at the moment.
At the same time, Kenneth's vigilance towards Aozaki Touko had reached its peak. He quietly held the two gems in his hands. As long as he found that something was wrong, he would throw them out and then pull Weber beside him to jump out of the car and continue to escape.
"I'll take you to Tokyo, Misaki City, or Kanbushi City, and then you can fly directly back to England from there."
Hearing Kenneth's question, Aozaki Touko did not hide anything and directly told them the itinerary that Luo Wei had arranged in advance.
"Ah? Back to England..."
Kenneth was also stunned by Aozaki Touko's answer.
He originally thought that Aozaki Touko would take him to some bad place, or take the opportunity to blackmail him. After all, unlike ordinary magicians, the marks on his body and the many ceremonial costumes could be called treasures, and even the crown magician could not ignore them.
Things were exactly as Kenneth had thought. Originally, Aozaki Touko was planning to take this opportunity to get some benefits from Kenneth, the wealthy mineral science lord.
But the communication from Luo Wei made her give up this tempting idea.
The Holy Grail War has reached its final moments, and with the withdrawal of Kenneth, Weber and others, the only ones capable of competing for the victory on the battlefield are him and Gilgamesh.
The situation will get increasingly out of control and will be completely beyond our expectations. Take Kenneth and the others away quickly and don't come back.
So, in this critical situation, Aozaki Touko didn't bother to argue with Kenneth. After all, she had already made a fortune this time, and she had also received so much love and favors from him. If she let her greed ruin things at this critical moment, then the matter would be completely messed up.
"Of course, I'll only take you out of Fuyuki City to meet up with Sakura. She's already been placed in my safe house. Afterwards, you can just pick her up and fly back to England immediately. I'm not going back to that damn place called the Clock Tower."
Aozaki Touko put out the cigarette in her hand and said as if nothing had happened.
"Sakura...could that be what you're talking about?!"
"What else do you think?"
Hearing this, Kenneth's eyes widened slightly. He obviously figured something out, and his fragile heart was also hit hard at this moment.
"Haha, yes, it's just what you think, Lemonhead."
"Surprised? Unexpected?"
Seeing Kenneth's shocked expression through the rearview mirror, Aozaki Touko couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She had actually been looking forward to this scene for a long time.
As soon as Luo Wei contacted her and told her about his plan, Aozaki Touko felt pity for Kenneth, the unjust teacher who knew nothing from beginning to end and was always kept in the dark and led by the nose by his good apprentice.
She also often complained that Kenneth unexpectedly accepted a top-notch student like Luo Wei, which was really a treasure.
It can be said that he is both lucky and unlucky.
Unfortunately, that guy will always cheat you without you realizing it, but fortunately, he will always help you in major issues and important things.
"... Luo Wei, where's that guy? Where is he now?!"
However, to Aozaki Touko's surprise, Kenneth's first reaction was not anger, nor did he care too much. Instead, he hurriedly asked where Luo Wei was.
He now didn't care about why his student was involved with Aozaki Touko, a wanted dangerous criminal, or what role he played in the Holy Grail War.
Kenneth just wanted to know what Rowe's current situation was like. Was he in any danger? Since they'd both been rescued, was Rowe also waiting outside Fuyuki City to withdraw from the Holy Grail War and then fly back to England for refuge?
"……Eh?"
Seeing that Kenneth's first attitude towards Luo Wei was not anger at being deceived and blinded, but anxiety of worry and concern, Aozaki Touko's expression was slightly stunned.
Then he turned around and looked seriously at Kenneth's serious eyes, then sighed helplessly.
"I finally understand why you two can become master and apprentice... Although your personalities are completely different, your concern for each other is truly a perfect match."
She shrugged, sighed helplessly, and then replied,
"Don't worry, Crowley will be fine. It's just that he has more important things to do right now, so he won't be going back with you. He asked you to trust him."
"Nonsense! Trust him...? —What!!"
The car suddenly accelerated, causing Kenneth, who was about to continue asking questions, to stagger and lean back, almost hitting the handrail next to him.
"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that the police are blocking the road ahead."
"Hold on tight, Lemonhead! We're going to speed up!!"
The words fell softly, and Aozaki Touko did not give Kenneth a chance to refute. She glanced at the city exit in front of her, which was under martial law and blockade because of the missile attack tonight. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she stepped on the accelerator and crashed through the guardrail. She began to flee amid the shouts of the police behind her, driving straight into the distance.
……
……
at the same time.
On the other side, the edge of the forest.
A golden figure was leaning on a spear in his hand, quietly watching the tragic scene here. He looked at the forest in front of him that had turned into scorched earth.
Those blue eyes like flowing water couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness, and a special blue magic power was constantly surging around him, doing his best to heal this war-torn land.
Possessing the protection of spirits, he vaguely empathizes with the damage done to nature.
However, he consumed his magic power so relentlessly not just to heal the damage done to the forest.
--Da da da.
This sad feeling did not last long. With the sound of footsteps coming from the dark night, Finn turned his gaze and looked at the figure he had been waiting for.
A smiling black-haired young man and the magical purple-haired beauty beside him.
That is Rowe Crowley and Scathach standing beside him.
"What a coincidence, Lancer, to actually meet you here, um..."
They followed the huge magical power that Finn had deliberately emitted and came over. When they saw Finn standing at the edge of the forest waiting for them, Rowe smiled, then raised his hand and greeted him as if nothing had happened, and asked,
