Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

I didn't expect to waste one without even seeing the enemy. The noise caused by the appearance of the heroic spirit and this thing will make the enemy flee. It's really a big mistake.

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand and began to call upon the Command Seals with his mind while doing useless work. He fired all the bullets from the fully automatic submachine gun in his hand and then threw it aside casually.

“In the name of the Command Spell…”

But something unexpected happened. The car did not continue to chase him, but moved towards the discarded pistol.

This discovery made Kiritsugu Emiya quickly realize the key to the matter. He gave up using the Command Seal and hurriedly took out a few bullets. He threw them into the distance one by one like bait for a puppy and activated them with Fiery Magic.

"Boom, bang..."

As the bullets were fired one by one, the car really followed the traces left by the bullets and slowly moved to another place.

“Is it really the temperature?”

Emiya Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief. Among the common ways to lock onto an enemy, heartbeat and breathing were the most common, so when faced with something that tracked temperature, he was unable to react immediately.

After watching the car go away with a solemn expression, Emiya Kiritsugu was ready to run. This invincible thing was roughly at the level of a fast remote-controlled car in terms of chasing speed. With this distance, he should be able to escape pursuit.

However, it is counterproductive.

As the car was about to leave the street, he suddenly stopped moving, no longer paying attention to the bait in front of him, then turned his head and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu again.

"How could that be? My body temperature is clearly..."

Seeing this unusual situation, Emiya Kiritsugu was shocked and an idea flashed in his mind.

He remembered.

“Is it actually magic?”

During Kiritsugu Emiya's career as a magus killer, the reason he was able to find and kill his targets was due to an unintentional little trick.

When he became a magus, Emiya Kiritsugu discovered that when he used magic, his body temperature would rise, perhaps because the magic circuit was activated.

With this and constant research, Emiya Kiritsugu was able to distinguish between ordinary people and magi.

And just now, although rage was only a basic magic, after repeated high-frequency use, the temperature judgment in his body had surpassed the bait which only had a momentary temperature.

"How ironic." Having made a mistake in the area he was best at, Kiritsugu Emiya could only smile bitterly as he watched the approaching car bringing the news of death.

-

"That's enough,"

Roland looked at Hisahi Maiya in front of him leisurely. The dagger in her hand had been knocked to the ground. The Killer Queen who was blocking her kicked Hisahi Maiya in the abdomen mercilessly. This powerful blow made Hisahi Maiya fly away as if she was hit by a car, and her body broke one of the closed doors of the exit.

The exit was clearly only one step away from her, but she didn't even have the strength to climb out. What was even more ironic was that because she wanted to kill Roland and dispose of the body later, she specifically chose this secluded abandoned building, but she didn't expect it would become her burial place.

"I told you, don't put up any unnecessary resistance. It will only anger me and bring me more pain. I am the victim today."

Roland said in a cold voice, "It would be better to just die. Are you still expecting Emiya Kiritsugu to save you?"

Hisau Maiya said nothing, but slowly raised herself up by supporting herself on the ground.

She just looked towards the exit quietly, scenes from the past flashing through her mind, waiting for death to come.

As if in response to her little hope, the deep voice sounded across the street.

“Maiya!”

Emiya Kiritsugu dragged his body, looked at the dying Maiya, and subconsciously stretched out his hand and called out.

But for Hisau Maiya, this was just another kind of despair.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, he actually escaped? I thought I would have to retrieve it from his body, but forget it, I came just in time."

Kiritsugu must be protected.

Hisahi Maiya looked back blankly and saw Roland leaning against the wall in a rather seductive posture, with one hand clenched into a fist and the thumb slightly bent, as if he was about to pull the trigger.

With strength that she didn't know where it came from, she maintained her will, and Hisau Maiya shouted at Kiritsugu who was running towards her at the loudest voice of her life.

"Kiritsugu! This is the seventh Master. The secret of his ability lies in explosion. He can make anything he touches..."

But before she could finish, the indifferent voice had already determined her fate.

"Killer Queen has already touched you."

Roland pressed down gently with his thumb.

“Maiya——!!!”

Amid Emiya Kiritsugu's desperate shouts, Hisau Maiya's body shattered into pieces and turned into flying smoke and dissipated.

Thank you all for your votes and tips! While it is still recommended, I will give you an extra chapter tomorrow.

Chapter 30 This is Emiya Kiritsugu

Roland looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with a smile. If he had to pick a protagonist in the Fourth War, it would be the man in front of him with a dead expression, wearing a black windbreaker, and his calm eyes were full of despair.

It can be said that even after the Holy Grail War ended, everything left behind by this dead man still lingers and creates new stories.

Among all the masters, Roland least wanted to face this guy. However, when the spirit contract was in his hands, nothing mattered.

"I've already dealt with Hisau Maiya. The Einzbern androids haven't arrived in Fuyuki City yet, but it doesn't matter."

Roland pointed his index finger at Emiya Kiritsugu and announced, "It's your turn next, Emiya Kiritsugu."

Such a close threat made Emiya Kiritsugu, who had not yet recovered from the previous scene, move his expression.

What kind of feelings did he have for Hisau Maiya? If he was asked to answer, Kiritsugu would not be able to answer. Hisau Maiya had already made up his mind to sacrifice himself a long time ago.

She also didn't want Emiya Kiritsugu to avenge her, because Kiritsugu was just that kind of person. He wouldn't be shaken by the words of others, nor would he change because of changes in things. He would fight for the dream of being a righteous partner like a machine.

However, at this moment, the murderous intent surging in his chest was by no means false.

"asshole!"

He forced himself to calm down again. His injured body seemed to be ignited by emotions, and he felt endless strength. Emiya Kiritsugu was not moved at all, and walked towards Roland step by step with heavy and powerful steps.

Roland was slightly startled by this unusual behavior.

However, feeling the increasingly strong rhythm of the Key of All Spirits and the desire for a miracle right before his eyes, the corners of his mouth still uncontrollably stretched into an excited smile with his hands spread out.

"Wow, you're actually walking towards me. Why don't you run away and come to me to die?"

“Even though your assistant Hisau Maiya had to work so hard to tell you the secret of my ability, like a student still answering questions at the end of an exam, she tried her best to tell you.”

"How am I going to kill you if I don't come closer?"

There was a cold light flashing in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, and his steps did not pause at all.

"Oh, why not come a little closer?"

Roland also left the spot and walked towards Emiya Kiritsugu. He knew that the other party had the Command Seals, but he was not afraid. On the one hand, he had to kill Emiya Kiritsugu and take away the Contracted Spirit no matter what, and he also had the confidence that he could kill the other party before he used the Command Seals.

On the other hand, Roland has full confidence in Emiya Kiritsugu.

This man had an obsession that was twisted like a curse. Before his defenses were completely broken, he would put his father, adoptive mother, and wife on one end of the scale without hesitation, abandoning his personal feelings and discarding them as mere numbers.

While Hisau Maiya was alive, she might still be of use, but after her death, Emiya Kiritsugu would definitely calmly judge the value of this matter. Obviously, in front of the Holy Grail, this would definitely be something that would be discarded.

If it was just for revenge, the other party should have summoned the heroic spirit immediately.

The two men walked to a safe distance, stopped, and looked at each other like cowboys preparing for a showdown.

"You won't use the Command Spell?"

Roland asked first.

"A simple exchange is meaningless, but if you are prepared to waste a Command Spell here meaninglessly, I will accompany you."

Seeing Roland's fearless expression, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart sank. Although the Masters had not yet arrived, the Heroic Spirits must have been summoned.

At this point in time, unless one has no interest in this war, or is just a lucky person who has made up the numbers, there will be no Master who has not summoned a Heroic Spirit.

But Hisau Maiya is obviously not someone who can be solved by a lucky person. In Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes, Roland is like a shrewd conspirator. Not only did he realize that he is the real Master, but he also used his previous experience as a magician killer to find Maiya as his assistant. He should not be underestimated.

But precisely because of this, even though it was a bit cold, Emiya Kiritsugu had to maximize the value of Maiya's death.

Maiya has already revealed the other party's identity as the seventh Master, and he has also witnessed the other party's attainments in explosions. Moreover, from the fact that Maiya was able to send messages to him before, it can be seen that the other party's servants have probably been sent out.

This person is very similar to himself. This seemingly arrogant behavior just shows that the other party has absolute confidence in dealing with the battle between masters.

——Besides that, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't think of any reason why the enemy would leave the Servant so rashly. It couldn't be that the other party didn't have any Servant at all?

And this is the opportunity.

In a one-on-one fight with his Master, Emiya Kiritsugu has absolute confidence. While the enemy is feeling arrogant because of their victory, he wants to eliminate an enemy in advance!

Kiritsugu Emiya's movements were very quick and sudden. Using his windbreaker as a cover, he pulled out a pistol and fired without hesitation.

"Front-on fire? You should know that this kind of thing won't work on me."

The firing rate of the semi-automatic pistol was too easy for Killer Queen to see through. She blocked it in front of Roland and waved it in the air a few times with only one hand. Then, as if for demonstration, Killer Queen slowly loosened her grip, letting the brass bullet hit the ground casually, making a crisp sound.

Such behavior made Emiya Kiritsugu's eyelids jump, and a look of shock appeared on his face for a moment, but soon, this shock was suppressed by a deeper solemnity.

Unlike the magi he had faced before, who used shields created by amulets or ceremonial objects to defend themselves, the guardian spirit that this mysterious master relied on could actually catch bullets out of the air.

He must increase his magic power so that the connection between him and the guardian spirit can become deeper.

Kiritsugu Emiya made up his mind, and like a cheetah, he lowered his body and began to run wildly. He took out another submachine gun and fired randomly in the direction of Roland.

In order to avoid capsizing in the ditch, Roland also retreated slightly to a place with cover. Under the protection of Killer Queen, he moved behind the cover unscathed.

"Is that all? Then how did you deal with the withering heart-piercing attack? The child shouldn't be misled by something of this level."

Roland frowned. He sensed that the Contract Spirit was not attached to Emiya Kiritsugu. Could it be that the other party used the strange ability generated by the props of the Contract Spirit? This shouldn't be the case. How could his mind be so normal after using that kind of thing?

But this time, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been silent all this time, finally answered.

"Isn't it easy to solve that kind of thing? All it requires is a few extra sacrifices."

Emiya Kiritsugu explained his plan in his usual calm voice.

"That's the Grim Reaper chasing after temperature, so we just need to create a place with a higher temperature."

As if he had thought of something, Roland subconsciously looked out the window. Although the view was not very good, the gloomy black sky was already filled with a different color.

——That was the flickering light of fire.

Near this abandoned building, most of the structures are still made of wood. Once a fire is ignited, it will spread if it is not controlled in time.

This is a method that the protagonists in the original novel would never use. Even the villains would not be able to react to this behavior in the first place.

Roland raised his eyebrows, as if he had gotten to know the silent man all over again.

Before reaching his goal, this man will regard all other lives as the last bloodshed before obtaining the Holy Grail.

This is the ally of justice, Emiya Kiritsugu.

Chapter 31 The Recovered Spirit

While Roland was distracted, Emiya Kiritsugu broke open the door, quickly took off his windbreaker, wrapped up the grenade with the pull ring removed, and threw it into the air.

Roland's eyes paused slightly, and he took a few steps back. In an instant, a stone appeared in the Killer Queen's hand, ready to hit the grenade in the air.

In close range, with the properties of his stand, he can hit whatever he points at.

Then, the trigger of the bomb was quickly pressed.

The grenade that was detonated prematurely caused terrible damage in the small room, but this was exactly what Kiritsugu Emiya wanted.

Hiding behind the door on the other side, he tightly grasped the weapon he had just taken out of his windbreaker.

It was a simple-looking gun made of walnut, similar to a gunpowder gun from the late Middle Ages.

The essence of this gun is a single-shot rifle, and it can only hold one round of ammunition. In order to maximize the power of this gun, Kiritsugu Emiya modified it so that it can withstand sniper rifle ammunition. This powerful firepower fully demonstrates the effectiveness of a one-shot kill.

Ordinary physical defense is not enough to resist this kind of firearm, but when the opponent increases the output of magic power and uses magic to defend with all his strength, it is exactly what Kiritsugu Emiya wants.

Because the reason why this gun can become Kiritsugu Emiya's trump card has never been the gun itself, but the bullet.

Origin is something that is engraved deep within a person and determines the fundamental nature of his existence.

Origin is not only possessed by magicians, but is a direction that all beings are born with, including ordinary people. Awakening the origin is also the easiest way for ordinary people to acquire superpowers, but even without awakening, ordinary people will unconsciously develop related traits in personality and direction.

For example, Shirou Emiya's origin is the sword. Although he is not good at ordinary magic, he can also manifest the inherent barrier of Infinite Sword Works.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu did not awaken the origin, he also obtained the method of using the origin through special means.

He suddenly jumped up, looked at Roland standing with Killer Queen, and raised the black muzzle of his gun.
