"You're really good at it. So many explosions didn't kill you!" Emiya Kiritsugu held a micro-charge, but did not raise the muzzle of the gun, and pointed it at the person walking on the opposite side.
"I have carried out many dangerous missions, and I have encountered traps to kill people many times." Kirei Kotomine paused and asked, "Aren't you going to shoot?"
"As expected of an outstanding representative of the Holy Church, he has rich experience in fighting enemies." Emiya Kiritsugu replied: "The power of firearms and bullets is not enough. They cannot penetrate your protective robes, so it is better to keep the bullets." , that way, you can still take care of things so that you won’t be able to attack unscrupulously.”
"From your tone, it sounds like you have a lot of opinions about our church?" Kirei Kotomine narrowed his eyes and looked at the micro-charge gun in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand. This man did have a very wise judgment.
If the opponent is in a gap, such as reloading bullets, he can rush over in the blink of an eye.
But now the opponent only holds a micro-charge filled with bullets in his hand, but does not move. Although the agent's dress can withstand bullets, other exposed parts of his body still need to dodge or gather energy to resist. , I have to be wary of the firearm that can start pouring bullets at any time.
"During the Holy Grail War, the Holy Church, as the referee, colluded with the Tohsaka family and worked together secretly. Can't I, a participant who abides by the rules of the Holy Grail, have a problem with this?"
"What's the use of saying this now?"
After Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, he suddenly realized something.
"No, it works. You want to disturb me through words, distract me, and then seize the opportunity of my distraction to attack me, right?"
Kotomine Kirei observed the man opposite him and noticed something else.
"Is that hand behind your back hiding something that could pose a threat to me?"
The expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face changed for a moment, as if someone had discovered the plan, but he soon returned to a calm and indifferent look. The hand holding the short rifle with the origin bullet dropped from the hidden behind. Leg side.
"I see, is it a rifle with stronger penetrating power? If I hadn't noticed it, it might have been dangerous if you were caught off guard and fired. But unfortunately, your little move was noticed by me..."
After Kotomine Kirei finished speaking, he stopped talking and just stood there looking at the man opposite.
The two people stared at each other for a while, and Emiya Kiritsugu was the first to break the strange atmosphere of silence: "Aren't you going to attack?"
"Why should I attack?" Kotomine Kirei asked back: "The instructions given to me by my master Tokiomi Tokiomi Tohsaka are just to hold you and your followers here so that you can't do evil in secret, and you can't do anything. You sneaked away the Holy Grail that could possibly complete the ritual. Other than that, it is not my job to deal with you."
Kotomine Kirei was wary of him, yet kept an eye on him, as if he was ready to entangle him, which gave Emiya Kiritsugu a headache. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, because it is difficult to find him. The other party’s mistakes.
"You are also the master of the Holy Grail War, right? You should also have your own wishes. Are you willing to give up the Holy Grail to others?"
Emiya Kiritsugu decided to use verbal provocation to drive a wedge between the man opposite and Tokiomi Tosaka.
"It's good that I have a wish, but for my own wish, I can already see its shape and appearance, and I don't need to use the Holy Grail to solve this problem for me.
As for you, a magician killer, I am quite curious. A guy like you who keeps killing people for commissions, what kind of wish do you want to make for the Holy Grail?
Is it money? Or is it also to reach the root, which is the long-cherished wish of almost all magicians? "
Emiya Kiritsugu's heart sank, and Kotomine Kirei showed that he was obviously not shaken by his words.
Emiya Kiritsugu thought for a while and answered the other person's question in a low voice: "My wish is justice!"
"You mean justice?"
Kotomine Kirei was very surprised. He did not expect this somewhat notorious magician killer to give such an answer.
"Yes, I pursue justice in the world. Among the countless tragedies I have witnessed in my life, I found that what human beings lack is justice. Just like the scales of fate, selfless justice!"
"I see." Kotomine Kirei nodded, he understood: "Are you one of the very few outliers among magicians, an idealistic lunatic in the name of 'justice'?"
"I am not a madman, I am a realist who confirms that my ideal can be realized, so I will implement it."
"But from the information I got, your behavior is not just. Most of the time, you just act as a mercenary who gets paid to do things, or you are ruthless and can involve innocent people in your assassinations." A killer in action.”
"The forces that enforce justice require money to support, and the innocent people I affected and died were all to eliminate the losses caused by the real villains. Those villains will cause greater harm to the world and other people in society..."
"Sacrifice the few and redeem the many?"
"Is this kind of justice really justice?"
Kotomine Kirei asked.
Emiya Kiritsugu did not answer.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. This kind of thing simply has nothing to do with me, and I'm not interested in it either."
"That is correct." Emiya Kiritsugu said suddenly: "If the sacrifice of the minority can redeem the majority, then that is a correct answer. So, can you not prevent me from obtaining the Holy Grail, minority?"
Kotomine Kirei looked at the man opposite him seriously and replied, "No."
The next moment, a gunshot rang out. Almost the moment he got the rejection, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand and started shooting.
Kotomine Kirei also used Snake Skin Movement immediately. At the same time, three more black keys appeared on both sides of his hands, and he threw them directly towards Emiya Kiritsugu who was shooting.
Emiya Kiritsugu turned over to avoid the thrown black key, but the gun in his hand was silent. The micro-gun was directly shot by a black key, but half of the gun body was cut off.
Kotomine Kirei quickly approached, and Emiya Kiritsugu raised the only remaining short rifle.
The black keys seemed endless. At this time, there were six more black keys in Kotomine Kirei's hands. He threw out three more, and the other three were caught between the fingers of his right hand. However, he prepared the pattern. Preparation to stop short rifle bullets.
The origin bullet was fired, and the short rifle was destroyed by the black keys the next moment. Emiya Kiritsugu turned sideways and avoided the attacks of the remaining two black keys.
But over there, the black key in Kotomine Kirei's hand that collided with the bullet shattered like a fragile glassware that had been hit hard.
The origin bullet deflected slightly and failed to penetrate the heart directly. It passed between the ribs below and then came out from the back. The agent's protective suit was like paper, and it did not have any defensive effect during this period.
Blood stained his chest and back, but this was not the most fatal injury. The most fatal thing was the magic circuit in Kotomine Kirei's body, which was messed up as if it had been a random operation. .
The originally normal magic power was now inside his body, destroying his body.
Kotomine Kirei fell to the ground, spit out a large mouthful of blood, and immediately fell into a state of serious injury.
"Your bullets are poisonous..."
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't respond. He ran over and aimed a fierce knee at Kotomine Kirei's chin. He had already pulled out the dagger from his waist with his right hand and stabbed the kicked man's neck without mercy.
"Pfft..."
The dagger pierced something, but it wasn't the neck, but a palm raised to block it.
Kotomine Kirei's blood-stained hand firmly grasped his right hand holding the dagger.
"Don't think that you can defeat me easily just by destroying my magic circuit!"
Kotomine Kirei hit the man on the head with his headbutt.
The foreheads of both of them were cut open, and blood flowed out all of a sudden.
"Bajiquan..."
Taking advantage of the moment when Emiya Kiritsugu was dizzy, Kotomine Kirei clenched his concentrated right fist and hit the opponent directly in the heart.
Emiya Kiritsugu raised his arm to block it, but the bones of his arm were broken directly. The remaining force of the fist still penetrated his heart. His sternum collapsed, and the heart underneath was bleeding. It cracked open.
Emiya Kiritsugu's body escaped Kotomine Kirei's grasp and hit the ground two or three meters away with a bang and no movement.
Kotomine Kirei lost some strength and collapsed on the spot.
He was breathing heavily.
He pulled out the dagger stuck in his left hand and threw it on the ground.
It's over. Saber's master has been eliminated by him. The next step is to look at Tohsaka Tokiomi-sensei's ability and think about using Gilgamesh's strength to eliminate the remaining servants...
"Um……"
Kotomine Kirei's eyes suddenly widened. He turned around and saw Emiya Kiritsugu, whose heart had been broken by him and who should be dead now, getting up from the ground little by little.
Emiya Kiritsugu was really heartbroken. The concept weapon taken out of his wife's body protected him. His injuries were being repaired, even if it was a fatal injury like a broken heart. However, this powerful recovery power could not save him. Next to his wife.
"It's over, Vicar of the Church!"
Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the discarded blood-stained dagger from the ground, walked up to Kotomine Kirei, who was unable to revive, and prepared to give this terrifying enemy the final blow.
"Kacha~"
Suddenly, there was a strange sound.
"Bang~"
Emiya Kiritsugu turned around, and the ceiling above his head suddenly collapsed.
"What?"
A large ball of black mud fell down, covering the two of them.
. . . .
Pushing the time forward half a minute, when Arturia caught up with and killed the last Hassan, Assassin's spiritual foundation disappeared and his soul was recovered by the Small Holy Grail. The Small Holy Grail located in the rotunda of the Citizen's Hall happened again. mutation.
The black mud that was originally rising slowly from the bottom of the cup quickly surged up and overflowed outside like a dam that suddenly burst.
The overflowing black mud seemed to have some kind of terrifying corrosive power. After falling on the floor of the rotunda, it quickly eroded the ground and continued to penetrate downwards and into the building.
. . . .
"You've reached your limit too!"
Gilgamesh blocked the red spear and threw a Noble Phantasm at it. Diarmuid failed to dodge and was directly penetrated in the waist and abdomen.
"The spirit base itself is not strong enough. Even if it is strengthened, there is still a limit. If you continue to squeeze the limits of yourself as a heroic spirit, the result will be that you will collapse faster."
"No, I still..."
Several javelin-type Noble Phantasms flew over and penetrated his body directly. Diarmuid fell to the ground. He received the strengthened body, but an accident occurred during the high-intensity battle with Gilgamesh. The magic strengthening belt The overload caused his own spiritual base to collapse.
"I haven't achieved the final victory for your lord, and I have to face my own failure. I am not willing to..."
But no matter how unwilling Diarmuid is, this is the limit he can reach. Now that he has been defeated by Archer, it is a fact.
"Faced with your own demise, are you just unwilling to fulfill your monarch's orders in the end? Well, guy with two guns, I recognize your loyalty!"
Gilgamesh looked into the distance. At this time, the battle between masters had entered a fierce stage, but he suddenly said: "I will not participate in the battle between masters!"
Turning around, Gilgamesh faced the direction of the Citizen's Hall, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Something more wonderful seems to be happening here. What is this strange and ominous aura?"
"Just keep your life for the time being and slowly disappear. This will give me a reason not to get involved in the battle over there."
After saying that, Gilgamesh made a small movement, causing the flow of magic power he absorbed from the Master to suddenly increase.
Soon, a familiar huge amount of magic power poured into his body, replenishing his energy spent in battle.
Tokiomi Tosaka's hand was missing another Command Seal. During the fierce battle with Kenneth, this elegant magician was no longer elegant. His clothes were tattered and looked like a beggar's clothes. He couldn't be distracted at all. He went to see what he was doing. or the situation over there.
Therefore, he probably wouldn't have thought that Gilgamesh would trick him into using a command spell.
Gilgamesh seemed to not care about his life at all, and walked towards the citizens' hall without looking back.
Diarmuid was left on the ground behind him. Instead of finishing the attack, he pinned Diarmuid to the ground with his Noble Phantasm, letting his life drain away little by little.
. . . .
"Um……"
With his head feeling dizzy, Emiya Kiritsugu woke up from his hazy consciousness and found himself on a deserted beach.
Where is this place?
Why is he here?
Emiya Kiritsugu's last memory was that he was submerged by something like black mud.
"Kiritsugu, are you awake?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Emiya Kiritsugu turned his head sharply: "Eri?"
