Mercury, as a liquid, has elasticity and can offset many reaction forces.
"A boring little trick."
Kenneth stepped lightly on the ground, and the mercury turned into a spirit summoning circle to automatically summon the demon.
After all, he is a first-class lecturer in the field of spirit summoning.
As a genius, Kenneth knows so many magic tricks.
And each one has reached its peak.
Dozens of evil spirit dogs were generated, and Kenneth used them to search for Kiritsugu Emiya.
……
Kiritsugu Emiya, holding a submachine gun, hid in the castle building and moved with the advantage of this field, but the evil dog familiars relied on their excellent sense of smell to find their hiding place.
Raise the gun and aim.
However, the evil dog familiar was very fast.
"Time alter--double accel!"
Emiya Kiritsugu immediately began his magic.
Inherent time control, double speed!
This is the time magic that the Emiya family has explored from generation to generation. The proper time is the "original time", which refers to the time measured by the clock at the same location as the event in the theory of relativity.
In other words, it is self-manipulation of time.
The prototype of the "inherent barrier" is compressed within one's own body, thereby temporarily compressing or releasing it.
The speed of the evil dog familiar remained the same, but Kiritsugu Emiya had twice the sense of it.
With this new sense of time, Emiya Kiritsugu finally aimed at the target and fired...
The bullet pierced through the demon's magic core, killing it instantly!
Magic core is the core of the monster.
Just like the human heart, the servant's soul core and the god's divine core, if the demon's demon core is shattered, the only result is death.
Da da da!
A volley of bullets accurately killed five or six familiars.
"Release alter!" The control is lifted!
Emiya Kiritsugu immediately took a deep breath. The magic of adjusting time will inevitably cause errors in the flow of time inside and outside the barrier. After the barrier is lifted, a natural force will occur to make up for this gap, which is the "correction of the world". This repair force will of course be applied to the "changed side."
"Roar!"
The roar of the evil dog familiar was heard, and it was obvious that the gunshot just now had caused the other familiars to stay in position.
Kiritsugu Emiya put on a gas mask, and then took out tear gas to cover the pungent smell, making the evil dog familiar that acted by sense of smell lose its advantage.
As expected, when the other evil dog familiars arrived, they immediately lost all clues. Even with the protection of magic, they lost their sense of smell for a while.
"Humph."
Kenneth used magic to summon wind pressure to dispel the smell, and then explored the surroundings with Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.
As a liquid, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid can penetrate anywhere and any living thing cannot hide from its senses.
……
"Time alter--triple stagnate!"
Inherent time control, triple stagnation!
"Stagnation", which is the exact opposite of "double speed", slows down the flow of time in the body, thus achieving an effect similar to "breath blocking". In this state, Kiritsugu Emiya has lost the characteristics of a living being.
The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid fell, but no reasonable heartbeat was sensed, so it was retracted. Emiya Kiritsugu seized the opportunity and immediately turned around and shot at Kenneth who had his back to him.
The bullet with an initial velocity exceeding the speed of sound was fired at a distance of less than fifteen meters, but the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid got there first and protected Kenneth's defenseless body.
The bullet bounced off as if it had hit steel.
"Have you finished the fight?"
The protective layer formed by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was opened, and Kenneth stood in it with his hands behind his back, and then threw out a pistol.
Emiya Kiritsugu immediately recognized that it was Hisau Maiya's sidearm.
"We can talk now, right? I am here as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, sent by the Magic Association, to carry out the first rule investigation. I want to ask whether the results of your actions have or will violate the taboo of 'mysterious concealment'."
If there is a problem with the Holy Grail, then within a few days, irreversible anomalies will erupt here, which may lead to the mystery being exposed to the world. Even if it can be repaired in the end, it will cost several times the price.
If the Holy Church can send a supervisor, then the Magic Association can do so as well. Kenneth takes on the role of supervisor on the condition of giving up the Holy Grail.
Well, now the consequences of defeat are gone, and his stain has naturally disappeared.
very good!
……
Outside the castle, Artoria, holding the holy sword in both hands, faced the siege of dozens of Assassins alone.
Appearing as an assassin and facing the swordsman directly, this is a battle with no chance of winning.
But they still carry out it.
Their sole purpose was to buy even a moment of time for their Master, Kotomine Kirei.
"Strike Air!"
The invisible holy sword in Altria's hand, the wind that was entangled and hiding its shadow suddenly exploded. Strictly speaking, it was not a treasure but a magic.
By compressing and releasing the power of "Invisible Air", a vacuum environment is formed at that moment. This is the ability of "Invisible Air Hammer".
The penetrating straight wind pressure struck forward, and several Assassins who had no time to dodge were sucked into it. Their spirit bases were distorted by the vacuum and finally torn into pieces.
Seventeen...
Altria's eyes quickly swept around the surroundings, while silently counting the number of Assassins she had killed in her mind. Adding those killed by other Servants before, at least a quarter of Hassan the Hundred Faces had been eliminated.
However, he sensed that there were only about fifty people around, but more than twenty Assassins were missing.
Not all personnel are mobilized?
Altria found it very strange.
……
On the other side, Irisviel, who was preparing to evacuate the Einzbern Forest, stopped abruptly on the road, and saw that it was very quiet under the shadow of the tree in front of her.
Abnormally quiet.
It seemed as if even the sound of the wind had been muted.
"……who is it?!"
Irisviel questioned.
A priest in monk's robes stepped out, it was Assassin's Master, Kotomine Kirei.
Irisviel looked incredulous and asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
According to previous observations, Kotomine Kirei should have appeared on the other side of the forest, and that was why Irisviel took a detour.
……
On the other side of the forest, "Kotomine Kirei" who was heading towards the castle twisted his body and disappeared into a black shadow. It was obvious that he was not his real self, but Assassin in disguise.
Irisviel or any ordinary magician would not be able to find any flaws in this kind of disguise.
……
Although she was surprised, Irisviel adjusted her physical and mental state in the next second. The enemy in front of her was the opponent that Emiya Kiritsugu was most wary of.
If, she could eliminate the other person for her lover.
"Irisviel von Einzbern."
Kotomine Kirei looked at the woman in front of him, and he actually saw the afterimage of Claudia in her.
Same silver hair, but the other's is more shining.
That woman who is suffering from illness can never live like a living being.
"Master Assassin clearly announced his retirement but made a comeback and has so many hidden tricks."
Irisviel took a deep breath, ready to attack the opponent at any time.
"The Einzbern family made the Holy Grail. They knew they would die for it, but they still came to this battlefield. Is it because they have no 'heart' and do not understand what human nature is? Or is it..."
Kotomine Kirei was about to ask.
"When it comes to humanity, I'm much better than you!"
Irisviel immediately retorted and then launched an offensive.
"Shapeist, Leben!"
——The wreckage gives you life!
The silver threads are connected horizontally and vertically to form complex contours, interweaving and combining with each other, just like a complex three-dimensional object that appears like a rattan handicraft.
It has ferocious wings and beak, and sharp claws shaped like blades. It is an exquisite silver wire craft created based on the prototype of a giant eagle.
No, it's not just a replica model.
"Kyeeeee!!"
With a loud scream as if a metal blade was cutting through it, the silver eagle flew up from Irisviel's hand.
That was the "Holm Cruise", or the man in the bottle, made on the spot using alchemy.
It was a weapon that Irisviel had given life to at this critical moment.
Einzbern's needlework.
The magic "Angel's Poem" that resounds through the cold night.
The magic "Angel Poetry" is a large category like "Gem Magic", and what is displayed at this moment is only the subtle branch "White Stork Knight".
"Don't underestimate me. Even though I look like this, I am also the heir of the Einzbern family!"
Irisviel waved her hand, and the "White Stork Knight" automatically moved and began to attack the target.
Kotomine Kirei took out six bladeless sword handles from his monastic robes. They were the black keys, the equipment used by the Holy Church to exorcise demons. The blades were generated by magic power and had no substantial destructive power on physical existence. They were merely symbolic props that represented one's identity.
This amulet for exorcising demons simulates a cross and focuses on interference with spirits. It is closer to an arrow than a sword.
The key of God's will to baptize the flesh and return it to dust!
Kotomine Kirei held three Black Keys in each hand, with the hilt of the sword between his fingers, and then threw it out with one hand, and the Black Keys spiraled and radiated forward.
"Zahre (tears)!"
Upon seeing this, Irisviel immediately changed the form of "Angel's Poem" from "White Stork Knight" to the bullet-shaped "Tear", and blocked the Black Key's attack in a flash of light.
The two sides started to compete. Irisviel took the initiative at first and gained a half-point advantage. In addition, Kotomine Kirei's expression was not too outrageous. He was just an ordinary priest of the Holy Church, and at most he was given the title of an agent.
Maybe we can win!
"Degen (Sword)!"
The shining "tears" were transformed, and the silver threads of magic power were woven into a floating giant blade that smashed towards Kotomine Kirei's position.
boom!
A cloud of dust rose at that location.
Did you win?
Alice looked closely and felt particularly nervous.
But when the smoke cleared, she saw Kotomine Kirei holding the "Degen (sword)" tightly in one hand.
Kotomine Kirei tightly grasped the magic "Degen (Sword)", a blade made of woven metal silver threads that looked like a razor blade, and there was not a single drop of blood on his hand.
From the monastic robes on his body to the shoes on his feet, and even the gloves and the cross, as the top agent of the church, Kotomine Kirei was naturally endowed with all the highest-level weapons.
And a will of steel.
Proof of faith incarnated into man, belief turned his body into steel.
