My avatar is the heroine

Hey!

Kirei Kotomine was actually experiencing a feeling of regret.

Yes, Kiritsugu Emiya was indeed as difficult to understand as he had expected. Meeting him in person only increased his doubts.

"You...you're not Kiritsugu, are you?"

His brows suddenly furrowed, he stepped back, and he couldn't even clench his fists.

As for the black key, it was torn apart by Yukino's punch just now.

Yes, it's unbelievable that a black key using a magic circuit could be crushed by five claws.

Yukino's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly: "What makes you say that?"

He didn't think he had been discovered; perhaps the other party was just guessing, trying to trick him into revealing her identity with words.

“It’s different. The information you gathered is different from what I’ve gathered. At least the Kiritsugu Emiya I know isn’t this terrifying. If he had your kind of power, I wouldn’t even have the determination to investigate.”

"..."

There was a few seconds of silence between them, then Yukino clicked her tongue.

"Don't worry about all that. Just know that I love fighting and I'll keep fighting with you. That was just a warm-up, understand? We've only been fighting for a short time, so don't even think about running away."

Kirei Kotomine swallowed hard, bent his knees, and took a half-step back without making a sound: "Then tell me your true identity, or rather... where did you get such great power? I can't even sense that you've used any magic."

"Then I'll produce the evidence."

Rikka Gleam appeared underground, then created a pistol and corresponding bullets capable of disrupting magic circuits on Yukino's body above. What Kirei saw was Kiritsugu taking out the gun and loading it with ammunition.

The Origin Bullet... Fake!

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Origin Bullet, but it incorporates Rikka's imagination.

Then she suddenly raised her hand and fired a shot into the other person's shoulder.

boom!

Without the black keys, Kirei Kotomine could only dodge. But now he was no longer able to react to the speed of the bullets, so almost instantly, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder, accompanied by an incredible surge of power throughout his body.

"This is my formal attire. If you have done a thorough investigation of me, you might know that. I have already shown mercy."

"I see."

Kirei Kotomine made up his mind, and at the same time took a step back again.

He had actually wanted to give up on fighting this inexplicable madman a long time ago. Damn it, it's been two days and he still hasn't stopped. You can take it, but I can't.

"Then, Kirei, let's fight. One of the main reasons I'm participating in this Holy Grail War is because I've become interested in you. This battle is my chance to get to know you."

I'm sorry, I've lost interest in you.

Kirei Kotomine's face began to twitch. He suddenly roared, then turned and ran away into the distance.

"what?"

Yukino was stunned.

Did this guy just run away?

Without thinking too much, she started walking and chasing after him.

"Don't run! What a passionate and thrilling battle! Why do you stop? Life should be like the rising sun, full of sweat and toil, shouldn't it? Kirei Kotomine, pick up your weapon, or you can use mine, and keep fighting."

Kirei Kotomine, too lazy to listen to this madman's ramblings, began to run away without a second thought.

He was covered in sweat, his head was spinning, and he felt that if he continued fighting, he would really die.

To confront a guy like that head-on is practically suicide.

Chapter 303 Giant Monster

At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya and Artoria were preparing to return home.

Just before they were about to enter the castle, Kihara Tsuki's figure suddenly appeared in front of them without warning.

“Saber, Caster is on the other side of the river.”

Perhaps it was because Kihara Ayaki's smile naturally gave off a mischievous vibe, yet this smile ironically made her more likable, so Artoria naturally let go of her hostility.

"Caster? Then let's go there now. After we deal with Caster, it will be time for our final battle."

"Of course, I have a feeling that this Holy Grail War will be very interesting in the end."

After finishing speaking, the body disappeared without warning, just as it had arrived.

"Has she become a spirit?" Kiritsugu Emiya took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

I was planning to quit smoking, but the pressure of the Holy Grail War has been too much lately, so I've started smoking again.

“No, it’s not spiritification, it’s probably spatial teleportation.” Artoria said gravely. “No wonder Archer’s powerful attacks couldn’t hurt her.”

“Saber, didn’t you say that Berserker’s body is weak and that he is inferior to other Servants in every way?” Emiya Kiritsugu raised an eyebrow.

"That's true, but I can't understand this guy's abilities."

Kiritsugu Emiya touched the gun at his waist, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Saber, go to the riverbank. I will use Command Seals when I need you."

And so, Saber left the scene.

Kiritsugu, meanwhile, planned to take Maiya with him and continue into the city to occupy a high vantage point for observation.

As for Kurohime, the battle is over.

"Indeed, we should deal with Caster's problem first. Berserker is right. The Holy Grail War is one thing, but enjoying this rare opportunity in the mortal world is another. Once someone like Assassin is dealt with, there's no need to rush the later battles." The Emperor scratched his head, like a child who never grew up.

This prompted Weber, who was standing nearby, to sigh heavily: "I was wondering why they had to listen to you."

"Shut up."

A chestnut was knocked down.

Just as Kurome had said, Gildrei and his Master, Ryunosuke, had arrived at the riverbank.

"Look forward to it, Ryunosuke Uryu. Just watch this coolest performance ever."

As Gildre chanted the mysterious incantation, a massive whirlpool appeared in the center of the river. The cheerful young man, Ryunosuke Usui, stood by the bridge, watching the scene unfold with excitement.

An eerie mist enveloped the scene, and a swirling magical energy filled the air, as if some terrifying being was about to descend.

More than half an hour later, Artoria arrived at the place.

“Joan of Arc, you have finally arrived. It is my great honor to see you tonight.” Gilles de Rais stretched out his right hand with ecstatic joy, as if showing her a miracle. “Behold, this is a feast of death and decadence, and I, Gilles de Rais, wish you to enjoy it to the fullest. Although… you are not the guest of honor tonight.”

The water level rose, and a huge, ferocious monster emerged from below, dragging Caster's body upwards at high speed.

The monster was terrifyingly large, practically an ancient behemoth, and quickly stretched to over a hundred meters tall.

"That is……"

While Artoria was dumbfounded, the Emperor and Black Eyes arrived at the scene.

Of course, Lancer was not present at the moment; he seemed to have encountered some trouble.

However, it's not surprising that Kuroko is like that. After all, the Lancer's luck is E, meaning he doesn't need enemies; he can be killed by his own teammates.

“Saber, that monster has a strong regenerative ability and cannot be killed by ordinary attacks. I suggest you use Excalibur to completely eliminate it with its powerful anti-city beam attack.”

Artoria glanced over, shook her head, and said, "I don't know why you know so much about my Noble Phantasm, but my left hand is cursed by Lancer, and I can't use it unless it's lifted."

"That's easy, I'll go get Lancer." Kurohime prepared to have the target move to search for the object.

"No need, I'm here." Diarmuid suddenly appeared beside him.

"Archer." Kurohime glanced at Gilgamesh, who stood arrogantly to the side, though he was actually despised by everyone present. "I know you're capable of easily defeating this monster, but given your stinginess, you're unwilling to use your Noble Phantasm, so please step aside."

"you……"

Shan Shan was about to explode with anger at this little brat. It was truly remarkable that he had been able to endure it this long, given his personality. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly seemed to have come to a realization and revealed a relieved smile: "Alright, I will grant your wish."

"Ok?"

Why is this guy suddenly so easy to talk to?

Black Eyes was a little puzzled, but seeing Gilgamesh sitting on the throne, far away from the scene, watching the battle from the sky, she didn't pay too much attention.

At that moment, Diarmuid suddenly raised his gun and, in front of everyone, broke it in two.

"what?"

Artoria never expected Lancer to be able to do this.

"Unbelievable. Normally you should have hesitated for a long time." Kuroko was also taken aback.

"Honor, dignity... This war has shown me the existence of heroes. Saber, not only you, but even Berserker has shown me the true way of chivalry."

"Is that so? This must have been a very difficult decision for you to make?" Kuroko nodded, though she wasn't actually surprised.

After all, a Servant voluntarily discarding their Noble Phantasm is tantamount to handing over the chance of obtaining the Holy Grail to someone else in the Holy Grail War. He truly deserves respect, if it weren't for having such a Master.

"In that case, I will also contribute my share. I will hold this giant monster's body in place, creating the conditions for Saber to kill it in one blow."

Kuroko was ready; she would have to deliver the final blow herself.

Gildre's true form has now merged with the monster and entered its body. However, through some magical perception, he can still sense its location.

Therefore, when Artoria unleashes Excalibur, having Kihara Tsumi perform a coordinate shift at the last moment will allow Gildre's body to appear in front of her, and then she can kill him with a single blow from Hachifusa.

The most powerful aspect of the "March of the Dead," a treasure belonging to Su Lin's clone, is not its combat power, but its control over the dead.

It only takes a small amount of Black Eyes' combat power to send a puppet that retains all of its combat power from its previous life into the battlefield.

In this way, controlling Jill means controlling an army of monsters, and their strongest trump card—this hundred-meter-tall monster—will also fall into her hands.

"Thank you, but can you really control such a huge monster? And you said it can regenerate on its own, so why don't you let me use the King's Army Force again?" the Emperor said, but Black Eyes immediately shook his head: "No need, I also need to show my strength, otherwise, some self-righteous fools will never be able to give it their all."

Black Eyes turned his head and gave a faint smile to Flashy in the distance.

She planned to make slight use of X, mobilizing the spaceship currently in the Super Cannon world to conduct a round of support bombardment.

Chapter 304 The Death of Caster

"Then, Saber, show me what the value of your brilliance is as a Heroic Spirit."

Gilgamesh's attitude turned serious, for he saw that the Noble Phantasm in Artoria's hand was radiating golden light. The sword, which seemed to be a weapon of the gods, surged with unimaginable power, and countless golden points of light, like dazzling stars, rippled around it.

The emperor flew his chariot to a distant bridge, from where he could see the terrifying attack more clearly.

"EX Curry Stick, I've been waiting for this for so long."

Kuroko was equally excited. In order to see this move clearly, Kihara Tsurugi, who had already overcome most of the side effects through her own efforts, arrived in the sky through continuous coordinate movement.

"Though the Berserker's light is dim, it is still extraordinary." The Emperor sat cross-legged on the bridge, gazing at the beacon that had come up into the sky and was flashing from time to time, and said calmly.

"Roar~~"

The behemoth roared, and its countless tentacles began to lash out wildly at Artoria.

But at the same moment, a sacred golden light descended from the sky and struck its head.

The attack wasn't particularly powerful; it was more of a restraint, preventing the monster from paying attention to its surroundings and forcing it to cover its head with its tentacles to resist the continuous energy surge.

Yes, this was an attack that used X's privileges to temporarily pull the spaceship into this world and then bring it down from space orbit.

Its power is only equivalent to a single support artillery shot in the first stage of the Spirit Origin realm, and it weakens the energy of the artillery fire in order to release it continuously.

For the sake of stability, Jie Biao had no choice but to stand at the top of the bridge, and the Emperor looked at him in surprise.

Honestly, I didn't expect the attack to come from space, and if that energy were to hit a Servant, it would definitely cause serious damage.

But now, everyone's focus is on Saber.

……

Artoria raised Excalibur.

The increasingly dazzling golden light, like a sun, made her the focus of the battlefield.

Black Eyes reached out and tried to touch the golden light floating in mid-air.

"It's like standing in the starry sky."

Very dazzling.

"Seeing is believing; only by being there in person can you truly appreciate its beauty."

It ignited, and golden ripples began to roll across the blade, with more and more bright spots appearing. Even from hundreds of meters away, Black Eyes could feel the terror emanating from it.
