Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

His thoughts were still in a mess, but without the sense of urgency of an impending life-or-death crisis, Emiya Kiritsugu subconsciously relaxed.

As the magic storm surged, countless points of light condensed into a dazzling golden figure.

The overly strong light made Noah squint his eyes.

"Glittering Gold, if you hang your clothes on a telephone pole, you won't need to turn on the lights at night."

Gilgamesh, who was tasting fine wine, was suddenly transferred here. Before he could get over the slight dizziness caused by the rapid spatial transfer, he heard a familiar voice.

When he looked up, Gilgamesh was so scared that his soul core almost came out, and his abdomen began to ache again.

Damn it, seeing a Berserker like this late at night is not good for the Spirit Core!

"miscellaneous--"

Gilgamesh swore that calling him "bastard" was just an instinctive reaction after being scared, and he didn't mean to insult anyone.

But Noah still didn't let him curse.

"You dare to curse at me from such a close distance? I think you are not only the world's number one super bastard, but also very brainless! Do you want me to help you improve your brain?"

Gilgamesh almost gnashed his teeth to pieces as he felt the intense murderous intent enveloping his body, but he said nothing more.

He is just arrogant, not stupid.

At a distance of less than three meters, he had been killed seven or eight times before he could even open the Gate of Babylon.

Moreover, Gilgamesh could accurately sense that the magical pressure emanating from Noah was very different from before.

When I looked at it with the treasure, it almost blinded me.

Damn, aren’t there a lot of C or B technical people?

When did it become weird to have all A's or even A+?

What drugs are you taking?

Seeing that Gilgamesh knew to keep silent, Noah ignored his ugly expression as if he had eaten the ultimate dark dish, matcha mapo tofu.

"There will be plenty of time to deal with you later. I have more important things to do now."

Seeing Noah's gaze shift away, Gilgamesh breathed a sigh of relief, then silently looked at Emiya Kiritsugu.

Why are you calling me from this distance?

Die together?

Facing the Servant's murderous gaze, Emiya Kiritsugu silently looked away with an expressionless face.

The Acher class has the class skill of autonomous action, and can survive for more than two days even if it is separated from the Mater.

So even if Gilgamesh lost Emiya Kiritsugu, it would be easy for him to find a Master. After all, no one would refuse such a powerful Servant.

From Kiritsugu Emiya's perspective, the fact that his servants are fickle and refuse to avenge him is just a minor problem.

On the contrary, if he died and the Einzbern family completely lost the Holy Grail War, he could breathe a sigh of relief, because that would mean Alice and Illya could leave Fuyuki City immediately and live a quiet and happy life.

...if they could escape.

Gilgamesh was fully aware of the personnel and arrangements of the Einzbern side. If his new Master showed any ill will towards Irisviel and the others, it would result in consequences that Kiritsugu Emiya would find difficult to accept.

Although Gilgamesh seemed to have a good relationship with Irisviel and the others, Emiya Kiritsugu still couldn't entrust the safety of his wife and daughter to this capricious tyrant.

So, all the words can be boiled down to one sentence: if we die, we die together!

This was a decision that Emiya Kiritsugu had made not long ago.

Besides, haven't Gilgamesh and this silver-haired Servant been enemies for a long time?

If there is a one percent chance that these two people will fight each other and die together, and then I can run away, that would be perfect.

It was a dream achievement to eliminate three major threats, Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kenneth and his own servants, at once.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya never expected that the Servant from another world would not only not kill him, but why would he not attack Gilgamesh at all?

Looking at the silver-haired boy's departing figure, Emiya Kiritsugu could only attribute it to the eccentric personalities of these heroes.

When Emiya Kiritsugu left, Gilgamesh's back also disappeared from the spot.

He didn't leave, but just prepared to watch from a distance.

Because he could feel that the other two servants were approaching quickly, he knew that something exciting was about to happen.

In that case, how could I miss it?

Feeling the two people leaving behind him, Noah thought about it and decided not to pay any attention.

There must be a reason why the bellicosity-loving him suddenly let go of the upstart who liked to create light pollution today.

That is, Matou Kariya suddenly wants to clear the area by himself, leaving only Tōsaka Tokiomi alone.

This request really confused Noah.

But now that he was here, he could only walk towards the pool of mercury and try to figure out something from it.

Noah has been in this world for more than a year and has done a lot of research on magic.

But at his level of strength, most magic derived from attacking methods are meaningless.

In addition to puppet making and barrier setting, Noah's main research areas are alchemy and necromancy.

After all, he never forgot to solve the problem of transporting logistical supplies needed for the expedition for Loki's family.

Although this mercury group is not enough, it seems to have great potential.

But before Noah could squat down to study the mercury on the ground, two swift figures arrived one after another.

The first to arrive was a red-haired woman in a tight-fitting suit, holding two spears that exuded a strong and ominous aura.

Although she was very beautiful, Noah didn't know why he suddenly wanted to call her "old woman".

Oh, no, no, that's too rude.

Just kill the person, why insult others for no reason?

Oh, Lancer, right? She seemed to be one of the people who spied on me in Seaside Park yesterday.

After exchanging a cautious glance with Noah, she lowered her head and began to treat Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Eh? Aren't you going to be on guard against me?

Noah originally didn't want to pay attention to her. After all, judging from Matou Kariya's request, it was obvious that he wanted Tōsaka Tokiomi alive.

As long as she doesn't take Tōsaka Tokiomi away.

But as he watched, Noah's attention was drawn to it again.

Because the method used by the red-haired woman to treat Tōsaka Tokiomi was not ordinary healing magic, but a mysterious rune that he had never seen before.

"Noah?!"

Seeing Noah standing beside Kenneth lying in a pool of blood, Altria really felt what it felt like to have a heart attack.

Although Kenneth has a sharp tongue and a bad temper, Altria and he get along very well in terms of personality.

If she lost Kenneth as her Master, Artoria would never believe that she could find a Master who was more suitable for her than him.

So as soon as she sensed something was wrong with Kenneth, she immediately gave up chasing Lancer and rushed over here.

But now it seems that it is still a step too late?

"Hey, Leah."

Noah looked up and greeted her. Seeing that Altria looked very unhappy, he deliberately waited for more than ten seconds before smiling.

"Why don't you hurry and treat your Master? He'll die soon."

"Eh?"

Altria looked bewildered.

"Liya, you know me well. If I had taken action, these two would have been left with nothing but dregs by now. How could they have waited until you arrived?"

Yes!

Altria suddenly understood, then suddenly realized something and subconsciously looked in Lancer's direction.

At the same time, Scathach also raised her head from Tōsaka Tokiomi and looked at her.

Although the look was calm and peaceful, no matter how Altria looked at it, she felt a sense of pride as if she had seen through it a long time ago.

An illusion, it must be an illusion!

Gritting her teeth and suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Artoria hurried to Kenneth's side, pulled out the scabbard from her body and inserted it into his body.

This scabbard, which exists as a conceptual weapon, can stop the aging of its holder and heal all injuries, allowing them to be revived as long as they have a breath.

As soon as the scabbard entered Kenneth's body, his wounds quickly recovered as if time had gone back, and his breathing quickly stabilized.

But after checking, Artoria found that the magic circuit in his body had not been healed.

Because although Avalon can heal all injuries, what if the injury does not exist?

Now the magic circuits in Kenneth's body were not cut off or destroyed, but were randomly connected.

Although it is shocking, it is not considered an injury...congenital disability is not an injury either.

But Altria could foresee what a huge blow this would be to Kayneth.

"Who on earth is it?! Who on earth did this? How could they use such vicious means?"

When Kenneth woke up slowly, the first thing he felt was that he was still alive.

But when he subconsciously circulated his magic power like breathing, the intricate magic circuits in his body suddenly sent out a sharp pain that was almost like being tortured to death.

Yes, I defeated the Tohsaka family's magician, and then was ambushed by that bastard Magician Killer!

The defense that should have been perfect didn't work for some reason, and then all the magic power in his body went out of control.

The magic circuits within a magician's body are as precise and detailed as computer chips.

The damage caused by the outburst of magic power is not as simple as destroying the magic circuit. The nerves, muscles, internal organs and even bones in the body will be destroyed.

The fact that he is still alive and can still feel this intense pain is already a blessing in itself.

but--

"Ah!! No!! My Mark!!"

Even more than the excruciating pain radiating from his entire body, the fact that the magic seals passed down from the Achipollo family era had been completely destroyed and that he himself could no longer use magic weighed even more heavily on his sanity.

Kenneth is a genius.

Family background, qualifications, abilities, and gifts... He was born at a peak that millions of people in the world could never reach in their lifetime.

Kenneth never doubted that he would become the future champion of the magic world, the pride of El-Melloi, or even a great figure like Jewel O'Brien who would go down in history.

Therefore, he completely couldn't understand why he, who should have been blessed by the world and the gods, would suffer such a despair.

The world he had built since childhood was completely shattered at this moment. Kenneth was like a young child suddenly thrown into a cold and dark world, his heart filled with fear and madness.

Even though the circulation of magic power brought severe pain to his limbs, Kenneth still desperately wanted to feel the power he had in the past again.

If Avalon hadn't been inside him, his body would have collapsed long ago.

"Master! Master! Calm down! Even if you can't use magic anymore, Miss Sora can still continue fighting!"

Hearing this comfort, Noah couldn't help but exclaim, "What a good guy!"

Artoria, you really know how to comfort people.

For a man who is no longer afraid of death, there are probably not many things that can hurt him, but embarrassment in front of the woman he loves is definitely one of them.

As expected, Kenneth, who had been sobbing at first, broke down and burst into tears after a few seconds of silence.

Killing is not the end of the world. Even Noah couldn't bear to watch such a tragic scene. He stepped forward and knocked Kenneth unconscious, then showed his contempt for Altria without any concealment.

Artoria, who vaguely felt that she might have said something wrong just now, did not dare to refute. She smiled and lowered her head.

"Stop giggling and take your Master away. I'll come find you later."

"Thanks, Noah. I'll come express my gratitude later."
