Public executions started with King Adonai

The camera shifted to Li Shuwen, who saw that the battle on the coastline was over, no other monsters were alive, and no innocent people were in danger. He couldn't help but smile, then turned and left without taking a cloud with him.

That posture was just like the knights in martial arts novels who flew high and low and whose whereabouts were unpredictable.

This kind of elegance and lightness makes many people who have or have had martial arts dreams feel envious after watching it, and feel that this is what a true hero of the world is like.

When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.

Afterwards, the image on the light screen shifted to where Waver and the others were. The heroic spirits also returned to their respective masters and prepared to leave.

This wave of cooperation tonight was considered a success in dealing with Bluebeard and the monster, and a sense of comradeship was created, which made everyone relax.

Although they had not completely let down their guard against each other, they were no longer as ready to fight at any time as before.

Seeing that Irisviel was very tired, holding her chest and breathing slightly with a somewhat uncomfortable expression, Saber knew that the power of the Sword of Promised Victory had consumed a lot of Irisviel, so she said goodbye to everyone and helped Irisviel leave.

After seeing this, everyone watched the two women leave.

This makes the scene more relaxed.

Kenneth looked at Waver and said in his dean's tone, "You've seen it, Velvet-san, right? This Holy Grail War is full of terrifying monsters. It's simply not something a student like you can handle!"

"If you don't want to die, pack your things and prepare to return to the Clock Tower with me!"

Waver, who was being scolded, had subconsciously shrunk his neck, but after hearing Kenneth's words, he was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face: "Wait, wait a minute, Mr. Kenneth, you said you want to leave? You want to give up the Holy Grail War?"

Kayneth snorted coldly, "Isn't this obvious? You still want to continue this Holy Grail War when there's absolutely no hope of winning?"

Waver was speechless for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the King of Conquerors, who disagreed, retorting, "Hey, Master Lancer, even though that Gilgamesh and the King of Knights are both powerful, it's a bit too cowardly to just admit defeat like that. I thought you were a man worthy of respect, but it seems you're braver than I thought!"

Hearing this, Kayneth glanced at the King of Conquerors. "Don't be mistaken, King of Conquerors. Do you think that what you see are all the enemies? There are monsters in this Holy Grail War that you don't know about. In some ways, those guys are even more terrifying than Saber and Archer."

Waver and the King of Conquerors were stunned by this. Lancer then said, "Indeed, therefore, I also support my Lord's withdrawal from the Holy Grail War. If he continues to participate, he will likely encounter immense dangers that he cannot overcome."

The King of Conquerors and Waver looked at each other in bewilderment. The King of Conquerors raised an eyebrow. "You're actually giving up the Holy Grail War like this? Are you willing to give up the Holy Grail just like that, Lancer?"

Lancer shook his head. "I have no obsession with the Holy Grail. My desire to participate in the Holy Grail War is simply to be loyal to my Lord. No matter what my Lord decides, I will continue to serve and protect him. What I have done now is simply to judge that the Holy Grail War is too dangerous and should not continue. Therefore, supporting my Lord's decision to withdraw is the best way to show my loyalty!"

Waver couldn't help but swallow his saliva after hearing these words, his expression frightened and nervous.

The King of Conquerors paused for a moment before asking, "Then, could you please tell us who this dangerous being of yours truly is?"

Kenneth shook his head. "Sorry, I can't. I have a contract with one of them and cannot reveal certain things. Now, I have said everything I can. So, Velvet-san, what is your will?"

Waver fell silent, subconsciously looking towards the King of Conquerors.

The King of Conquerors scratched his head, then grinned. "My boy, make your own decision! Whether you decide to continue or quit, I will support you! And, as your teacher said, continuing to participate in this Holy Grail War is too dangerous. Although I am confident in my own strength, if there are truly beings stronger than Saber and Archer, I don't know if I can protect your safety."

After hearing these words, Waver became even more nervous and frightened. He swallowed hard, his eyes darting back and forth between the King of Conquerors and Kenneth. His expression was very shaky, and it was obvious that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Then, some nostalgic scenes appeared on the screen, showing the scenes of the past few days spent with the King of Conquerors.

Although he was very angry with the King of Conquerors, and although the other party was completely disobedient and did not seem to treat him as his Master at all.

but……

"Damn it, damn it, damn it... Sorry, Mr. Kenneth, I want to stay! Even if it's dangerous, I want to stay! At least, at least..." He gritted his teeth and pointed at the King of Conquerors and said urgently to Kenneth, "At least, I want to see how far he can go. This guy brags to me every day about how great he is. It's so annoying! So, so at least I want to see if he can do what he brags about."

Hearing this, the King of Conquerors laughed, and while laughing he slapped Waver's junior, saying things like, "You are worthy of being my little Master, I was right about you," and slapped Waver so hard that he cried out in pain.

Kenneth shook his head helplessly: "I actually made such a choice. I don't know what to say."

After a pause, he continued, "However, since you've made your decision, Velvet-san, I hope you won't regret it. I'll give you the temporary magic workshop I built in this city. Make good use of it! Don't tarnish the reputation of my El-Melloi classroom!"

Hearing this, Weber, who was still very uncomfortable, froze for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. He looked at Kenneth very moved and grateful, and bowed: "That, that, thank you very much, Mr. Kenneth!"

Kenneth snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "Don't get me wrong, I just want you to avoid bringing disgrace upon the reputation of my El-Melloi classroom. If you behave badly later, I'll show you what true punishment is when we return to the Clock Tower!"

After hearing this arrogant speech, Weber quickly responded, acting very weak, just like always.

The King of Conquerors laughed heartily, expressing his great happiness.

After that, the two sides parted ways.

Kenneth will go to Kotomine Church, because as a contestant in the Holy Grail War, if he decides to withdraw, he will need to go to the Supervisor to eliminate his identity as a Master, and the Command Seals will also be taken back by the Supervisor.

As one of the few honest people in the Holy Grail War, Kenneth will of course follow the rules.

On the way, Kenneth said to Lancer, "Lancer, after the Command Spell is recovered, my contract with you will end. According to the contract between me and that person, please go find 'that person' and become his helper!"

Lancer nodded: "Yes, Master, I will definitely go!"

Kenneth nodded and remained silent for a moment before whispering, "I'm sorry. As your Master, I gave up the Holy Grail War. After I withdrew from the Holy Grail War, I asked you to serve someone else. I'm truly sorry."

Lancer was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "No, Master, this is enough for me! Because I have achieved my wish and served my lord loyally, and you have given me your trust and support. For me, I have fulfilled my greatest obsession!"

"Next, serving another person will only fulfill another wish of mine for the Holy Grail War—a good fight against a powerful opponent! So, Master, you don't need to apologize. I have no regrets!"

Kenneth smiled when he heard this: "That would be great."

Not long after, the camera switched again, and Kenneth and Lancer arrived at Kotomine Church.

At this point, Kenneth let Lancer leave first, because after entering the church, his role as the Master would end. At that time, the Command Spells would be taken away by the Supervisor, the contract would end, and Lancer would lose his magic power supply and become weak.

Therefore, Kenneth asked Lancer to go directly to find 'that person'.

However, Lancer was also a stubborn person. He refused to leave now no matter what. Instead, he said he would stay outside the church and wait for the moment when the contract between the two of them would be completely terminated.

Seeing this, Kenneth said nothing more and walked into the church alone, preparing to go through the Command Seals handover procedure with the supervisor, Kotomine Risei.

When people in the real world saw this scene, they thought that Kenneth was about to lose his status as the Master, and some people with good memory remembered that Kotomine Ri seemed to have been knocked unconscious because of the damage of the magic props that isolated the city, so they thought that some more stories would happen.

However, the image on the light screen took an unexpected turn.

The camera suddenly switched to a picture of a scope aimed at Kenneth. When Kenneth opened the church door and prepared to go in, the guy in the scope pulled the trigger.

Bah!

Gunshots rang out, the scene went into slow motion, and the camera position quickly changed.

People just saw that Kiritsugu Emiya was hiding behind a tree not far from the church, using his TC gun with a scope to snipe Kenneth from a hundred meters away.

The bullet fired was the special bullet he used to hunt down powerful magicians!

Chapter 168 The True Cruelty of the Holy Grail War

It was so sudden, the change was so sudden, beyond everyone's expectations, so much so that people were stunned when they saw this scene and couldn't react.

The image on the light screen immediately entered slow motion mode at this moment.

Accompanied by the sudden and slow background music with indifference and sadness, as if time was slowed down many times, the bullet was fired, sparks burst out from the muzzle, the bullet tore through the air, leaving ripples in the air, and went towards Kenneth.

Kenneth was still trying to open the church door and had no reaction at all. This fully proved that although he was an excellent magician, his reaction speed was not much better than that of an ordinary person.

Then, the camera moved to Diarmuid outside the church. The latter originally had a satisfied and blessing smile on his face, but that smile gradually turned into shock and anger in slow motion.

The Heroic Spirit's reaction speed and agility far surpassing those of humans allowed him to clearly catch the bullet fired by Emiya Kiritsugu.

However, Diarmuid is now too far away from Kayneth.

Kotomine Church in Fuyuki City is a fairly large church. There is a garden outside the main body of the church, and the real gate of the church is outside the garden.

Diarmuid was standing outside the gate, because the Holy Grail War had a rule that servants were not allowed to enter the church when meeting the Overseer, and the church area was also a safe zone, and contestants were not allowed to fight here.

As an honest man, Kenneth fully abided by this rule and believed that the church was a safe zone and he would not be attacked.

So, now Kenneth and Diarmuid are about fifty meters apart.

Under normal circumstances, this distance could be eliminated in just a breath. As a servant with A+ grade agility, Diarmuid's speed is just that fast.

However, at this moment, the distance of fifty meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Diarmuid made a judgment almost instantly, and at this moment he threw the Yellow Rose of Destruction in his hand directly, aiming at the trajectory of the bullet.

In slow motion, Diarmuid's throwing movements were also very slow, which made the people watching very anxious, wishing he could be faster.

However, Diarmuid had already reached his maximum speed, which could be seen from the sneakiness of the bullets. His movements were even faster than the speed of the bullets.

Then, the camera zoomed out, and people could clearly see that the yellow spear was also moving towards Kenneth at a speed that broke through the air, but the target was not Kenneth, but the trajectory of Kenneth being hit by the bullet.

As the bullet got closer to Kenneth, the rhythm of the BGM became faster and faster, and the people in front of the light screen became more and more nervous.

Many people couldn't help but whisper words like "I must catch up, I must catch up" to ease the tension in their hearts.

Obviously, Kenneth's recent performance has won him a lot of goodwill and popularity. Anyone with normal values would not want this somewhat arrogant good magician to get into trouble.

As the BGM reached the final moment, with the increasingly fast rhythm, Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid automatically defended and wrapped Kenneth up in just a short time.

However, the special magic-breaking bullet directly penetrated the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and hit Kenneth's right shoulder the next moment. The Yellow Rose of Destruction thrown by Diarmuid was still a step too late and almost missed the bullet.

The next moment, the BGM ended, the slow motion stopped, and everything returned to normal.

Then, the camera zoomed in directly to where Kenneth was injured, and saw that the bullet inside Kenneth's body exploded, completely destroying Kenneth's magic circuit, and then roughly mixed together.

This caused Kenneth's magic power to go out of control, and when the camera returned to the outside, Kenneth's expression froze because he was shot, and then he screamed in pain. His meridians bulged, and then his blood vessels burst, and he looked extremely miserable.

This scene had actually been shown in previous light screen images, when Kayneth ran to Einzbern Castle and faced off against Emiya Kiritsugu.

At that time, Kenneth became what he is now in a suspected illusion, and that illusion was a possible future that Marisbilly told Kenneth.

That time, Kenneth was cautious and wore a bulletproof vest, so Kiritsugu Emiya's special bullet did not really hurt Kenneth, but this time it was obvious that he was not wearing a bulletproof vest.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Kenneth screamed in pain as his magic circuits were completely destroyed. At the same time, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid lost its controller and source of magic power due to the destruction of his magic circuits, and automatically retracted into the liquid container on Kenneth's body.

Then, Diarmuid roared hysterically: "My Lord!!!"

While roaring, he rushed to Kenneth and supported Kenneth who had fallen to the ground.

Seeing the miserable appearance of his master, Diarmuid was filled with regret and helpless rage. He swore to protect and be loyal to his new master, but he had to watch his master become like this in front of his eyes. This was the greatest torture and irony for him.

In an instant, Diarmuid's eyes turned red, and he suddenly looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already started running out with a gun in his hand.

This is just shooting and running, so fucking exciting!

However, this was not the end. When Diarmuid was about to rush over and cut Emiya Kiritsugu into pieces, Emiya Kiritsugu simply said to another person through the headset: "Maiya, do it."

The camera shifted to the mountain outside the church. Hisau Maiya was standing on the trunk of a tree, looking at the situation at the church through a telescope in her left hand, and a remote control with a red button in her right hand.

After receiving the order from Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisau Maiya immediately pressed the red button.

then……

Boom boom boom boom~~~~

The Kotomine Church was directly blown up, and multiple remote-controlled C4 bombs exploded at the same time, instantly engulfing the place in a fiery explosion.

The explosion directly resulted in Diarmuid having to immediately protect his master, Kenneth, and had no time to chase after Kiritsugu Emiya.

Kiritsugu Emiya jumped out of the church wall with a gun in hand at the same time as the explosion, and then took the opportunity to crawl into the sewer manhole that had been opened long ago, avoiding being swallowed by the explosion.

He quickly left along the sewer, his inner voice echoing: "This way, both the Lancer team and the Assassin team are taken care of."

Then, he recalled the past and time went back to when he was dealing with the meat mountain monster. When he saw Saber unleashing the true power of the Sword of Promised Victory and breaking all the barriers isolating the city, he thought that something might have happened to the Kotomine Church.

The isolation barrier was violently broken, and the magic props that deployed the barrier would inevitably explode and be damaged. The magical impact might have destroyed the person in charge of the Kotomine Church and the security barrier of the Kotomine Church.

So, Emiya Kiritsugu asked his assistant Hisau Maiya to confirm the situation. If there was really a problem there, he would install a remote-controlled bomb there and detonate the bomb directly when Kotomine Kirei came back.

Immediately afterwards, the flashback continued to the scene where Kiritsugu Emiya discovered that Kenneth was heading to Kotomine Church, and then he arrived there ahead of time and ambushed Kenneth there.

Kiritsugu Emiya did not know the real purpose of Kayneth's visit to Kotomine Church. In his flashback, he interpreted this as Kayneth coming to Kotomine Church to ask for the reward for defeating Bluebeard.

After all, as the supervisor, Kotomine Risei had said that anyone who participated in the crusade against Bluebeard would be rewarded with a Command Seal after defeating Bluebeard.

Because night is the battle period of the Holy Grail War, even if the battle against Bluebeard is over, no one can be 100% sure that there will be no new battles.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the Masters who will be participating in the subjugation war are all preparing to go during the day tomorrow. Even if they encounter other combinations at that time, they cannot take action, because fighting is prohibited during the day. This is the rule of the Holy Grail War. Anyone who violates it will suffer the same treatment as Bluebeard and be besieged by everyone.

Of course, this only refers to the choice of most masters, and does not represent the same for everyone.

Emiya Kiritsugu thought that Kayneth was eager to receive the reward because Kayneth's personality was such that he could really do such a thing.

Thus, Kiritsugu Emiya's impromptu plan of killing three birds with one stone was completed.

It was obvious that Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care at all about the rule that the Holy Grail War could not take place in the Kotomine Church area. Knowing Kotomine Kirei's true identity, he had already included the Kotomine Church in his hunting list.

At the same time, judging others by his own experience, Emiya Kiritsugu did not believe that the Command Seals given by Kotomine Rizheng would be so simple, and that there might be tampering with them. Therefore, he never thought about getting them, nor did he want others to get them, thereby increasing the variables of this Holy Grail War.

Before Kenneth arrived, Li Shuwen had already brought Kotomine Kirei back. The latter seemed to be unable to withstand the mental impact brought by the flesh-wounded monster and fell into a coma. Therefore, he was also in a coma when he was brought back by Li Shuwen.

The above is the information contained in Emiya Kiritsugu’s flashback, letting everyone know the whole process.

In the real world, people don’t know what to say. This Emiya Kiritsugu is really dirty!
