Just "Angel's Poem".
Not enough to damage him.
At least it won't defeat him.
Gathering her strength, the sword form of "Angel's Poem" was forcibly broken, and Irisviel immediately retracted the silver thread and returned to her "White Stork Knight".
Three birds of prey circled around him.
Kotomine Kirei looked up at Irisviel, then suddenly exerted force, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack, and his figure suddenly rushed to three meters in front of the latter.
The "White Stork Knight" automatically moved to protect him, but was pierced by the three black keys in Kotomine Kirei's hand.
Even though she was close to the enemy with her bare hands, Irisviel felt a sense of threat, as if a shark was approaching her face.
Boom!
Like a punch as strong as rock, it landed heavily on her abdomen, and Irisviel instantly lost her fighting ability.
Bajiquan!
The ultimate steel fist from Shenzhou.
The performer is Kotomine Kirei, an agent who has experienced countless bloody battles, so this punch has become even more brutal.
Irisviel, who had never suffered such a trauma before, could hardly even stand up and could only watch Kotomine Kirei walk towards her step by step.
“Why would you do those things when you know you’re going to die?”
Kotomine Kirei couldn't understand. He was seeking the answer to this question, a question that had arisen several years ago.
When Claudia committed suicide in front of him, Kotomine Kirei was already confused.
The answer to this question was difficult for him to understand, so he could only look for Irisviel who was repeating the same experience.
"cough……"
Irisviel felt as if her internal organs were dislocated, and blood was surging from her throat to her mouth.
"Why would you go to such lengths for that man?"
Kotomine Kirei asked repeatedly.
"……hehe."
Irisviel clutched the ground tightly, obviously trying to get up, but her limbs were weak and she sneered.
"Why……"
Kotomine Kirei asked expressionlessly.
"You won't understand. A heartless person like you will never understand!"
Irisviel shouted sarcastically: "You will never love anyone and will never be loved by anyone! Therefore, you will never understand what love is!"
"You call suicide 'love'?"
According to the church's definition, suicide is a serious sin. For this reason, Claudia, who committed a serious sin, was not recognized by the church after her death.
Kotomine Kirei tried to understand, but the more he tried, the more confused he became.
"Because I love him, I can devote myself to his ideals."
Having said that, Irisviel stood up and prepared to continue fighting, and the magic "Angel's Poem" bloomed...
boom!
Punch down.
He hit Irisviel a second time.
His consciousness gradually faded and he eventually fell to the ground.
"Because of love, I volunteer to give."
Kotomine Kirei looked at Irisviel lying on the ground before him, then squatted down, emitting a holy light from his hands and showering healing magic.
He originally learned the healing magic in order to save Claudia who was beyond medical treatment, but it was never used until she passed away.
In the following years, although he practiced countless abilities, the only thing he did not give up was this magic.
The blood clots in Irisviel's abdomen were brought back by magic power, and the spiritual part was repaired at the same time.
Standing up, Kotomine Kirei looked up at the castle. Emiya Kiritsugu was there, but he couldn't move a step. He just remained silent and finally turned around and said, "Let's go back."
"Yes, Master."
Several dark shadows emerged from the darkness. It turned out that Assassin had always been nearby.
……
Forty-three...
The holy sword cut through the enemy's body. Artoria saw that the shadows in front of her were getting fewer and fewer. She confirmed that more than half of the targets were killed. She was deciding to launch an all-out attack, but the opponents looked at each other and finally retreated in front of her.
"Don't even think about running away!"
Artoria drew her sword and gave chase, but the Assassins were too scattered. Even when she chased them to the outskirts of the Einzbern Forest, she only managed to kill two of them. On the way back, she actually saw Irisviel lying unconscious on the ground.
Why is the other party here? !
Volume 118 FZ/Kara no Kyoukai (Part 4): Chapter Chapter True·Shooting Hundred Heads [K]
……
Einzbern Castle.
Altria hurried back to the castle holding Irisviel, but saw Kiritsugu Emiya confronting Kayneth, and immediately went on alert.
If Kenneth is here, is the opponent's former servant also nearby?
However, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand, and although he did not say anything, his meaning was obvious.
Kenneth did not have the Command Seal in his hand, and the other party had already discussed the matter with him in detail.
"Saber..."
Irisviel gradually regained consciousness and looked at the things around her. She placed one hand on Altria's arm and looked at Kayneth. Then she said to Emiya Kiritsugu, "I'm sorry, Kiritsugu. I lost to Assassin's Master, a guy with very strange strength."
"Einzbern's android, you are not Master Saber."
Kenneth noticed that there were no traces of Command Seals on Irisviel's hands, but there seemed to be traces of hidden magic on Emiya Kiritsugu's gloved hands.
How could he not understand this setting?
"Kiritsugu, what is this man doing?"
Irisviel knew that since Emiya Kiritsugu did not fight with Kayneth anymore, it meant that they had reached an agreement, or in other words, they had reached a common goal.
"As the special supervisor of the Magic Association, I will be responsible for supervising the order of the entire Holy Grail War."
Kenneth reintroduced himself.
"supervisor?"
Irisviel frowned slightly.
Could it be that this is another guy who is stealing from his employer?
"Regarding the matter of the Holy Grail being contaminated, I will investigate it thoroughly. I will also deal with the Master Assassin who announced his retirement but returned to the battlefield and broke the rules."
Kenneth picked up a pile of reports from the table and then left the Einzbern Castle. As for the pile of documents, it was an overview of the other servants and their masters. Emiya Kiritsugu handed it to Kenneth, and also wanted to use him to target Assassin and Archer, the two masters who had a master-disciple relationship.
Although Kotomine Kirei announced the severance of his master-disciple relationship with Tōsaka Tokiomi before the war, judging from the current situation, there is an 80% chance that this was done to cover up Assassin's true nature.
Kenneth opened the file after leaving the castle. Although he had seen some of the contents in the castle, he still found it hard to believe.
Assassin Hassan the Hundred Faces, whose Noble Phantasm can split spirits, is an ability that Kenneth has seen before.
As the former master of Lancer, Kenneth naturally knew about Lancer's two spears.
There was no information about Saber, and it was obvious that Emiya Kiritsugu would not reveal his own abilities.
Rider……
Iskandar, the first relic that Kenneth looked for was to summon the other party, the chariot and the sacred bull, as well as the inherent barrier "King's Army", all these abilities made him feel regretful.
If he were to command Rider, he would definitely be able to sweep away an ordinary Holy Grail War.
unusual.
Once this word is uttered, it means that this Holy Grail War is unusual.
Archer, Gilgamesh.
This Servant has surpassed the bottom line of the scale of the Holy Grail War and is far superior to a magician.
No one can defeat him, no one can defeat him.
No matter who stands in front of the other party, no one has the ability to match it.
Kenneth roughly understood why the woman said it was a good thing for him to quit.
However, if he were to retreat in the face of such an existence, his dignity as the monarch of El-Melloi would be trampled underfoot.
For the heir of a noble magic family, dignity is sometimes more important than life.
……
Walking out of the forest, Kayneth brought Sora back, and Lancer Diarmait still followed him. As long as he did not receive a special order from Yuzhongjin, he would still be a loyal knight to the monarch.
"Archibald, look, there is information in here about the Berserker who broke into our position."
Sora also looked at the documents brought back by Kayneth, and her attention was all on the Servant who defeated Diarmait with one move.
Avenger, Gorgon.
"Why would a monster like the Avenger appear in the Holy Grail War?"
Sora still hadn't realized what was happening.
"Yeah, why?"
Kenneth's expression was particularly serious.
The appearance of the evil spirit means that there is a fundamental problem with this ritual.
……
"Teacher, I'm back."
Kotomine Kirei lowered his head at the Tohsaka residence. He knew clearly that his actions today had disrupted the other party's plan.
Tōsaka Tokiomi just stared at Kotomine Kirei's face deeply. Even though he had been guiding the latter for three years, it seemed that he still didn't really understand him.
Kotomine Kirei is a man without desires.
Tōsaka Tokiomi has always believed this.
but……
The other party lost his composure tonight.
Or something is wrong all day.
"It doesn't matter. Our plan has probably been discovered long ago. This is inevitable. Assassin's "Breath Blocking" cannot hide it from all the servants after all."
Tōsaka Tokiomi did not pursue the matter, but was worried about the opponent's situation. Once he returned to the battlefield, it would mean that Kotomine Kirei would be threatened again.
Assassin's abilities were also fully exposed, and he lost the advantages he originally had.
Fortunately, Archer is very powerful, and even if he cannot seize the Holy Grail, protecting them is not a problem.
Speaking of which, where is Archer?
……
Holy Church.
Kenneth came alone.
Lancer Diarmait and Sora went to the bridge, not to do business, but just...
Ugh.
