Chapter 368:
Among them, Assassin's Master Kotomine Kirei was such a formidable opponent.
After receiving the reminder from Maiya Kuu in the communicator in his ear, and feeling the sound of footsteps approaching, Emiya Kiritsugu knew that he was in danger this time.
He didn't think much, but raised the gun hidden on his body and pointed it at the curve of the cave path, and when aiming, he stepped back and pretended to continue to move forward.
When seeing Kotomine Kirei's head appearing, Emiya Kiritsugu shot without hesitation, but what makes people feel incredible is that Kotomine Kirei actually dodged the bullet at the end and his body retracted. position.
But at the moment when Emiya Kiritsugu's spirit was slack, Kotomine Kirei approached unexpectedly, his body was as flexible as a monkey, and he was a master of physique that Emiya Kiritsugu had never seen before.
"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"…
Emiya Kiritsugu fired several times, but they all failed.
It was too fast, even though it was such a small space, Kotomine Kirei was able to dodge the bullets unexpectedly.
No, it can't be used at this position, and the bullet just now ricocheted.
"Inherent time control, double speed."
Emiya Kiritsugu gave up Kotomine Kirei and moved deeper into the cave. He needed to find a more suitable battlefield. But Kotomine Kirei's reaction was not slow at all, and he quickly caught up from behind.
"Inherent time control, triple speed."
After using stronger magic, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei distanced themselves. Although the heart is getting more and more uncomfortable, as long as it has not exploded, Avalon's power can continue to heal him.
Just like that, once you were chasing me, the two of them walked to the end of the cave, on the platform where the Great Holy Grail appeared.
"The Holy Grail..."
Emiya Kiritsugu did not expect that he could actually see the Holy Grail. Although he learned from Roman that the Holy Grail would appear earlier, he has always been skeptical.
But, since the Holy Grail is here, what about Artoris? Where did he go?
"Is this the Holy Grail?"
Kotomine Kirei's voice came from behind him, his attention was on the Holy Grail like Emiya Kiritsugu. But almost at the same time, they reacted, because they knew who was preventing them from getting the Holy Grail.
There is only one Holy Grail, and there are two Masters who know that the Holy Grail appears.
Kotomine Kirei stomped his foot, and a figure appeared in front of Emiya Kiritsugu in the blink of an eye, and his instantaneous speed was comparable to that of Artoris.
"Inherent time control, triple speed."
Emiya Kiritsugu chanted a spell, and at the same time as the spell ended, Kotomine Kirei's fist hit his lungs, and his body was almost knocked out.
But before he was out of danger, three black keys appeared in Kotomine Kirei's hands and shot at him.
Dragging his injured body, Emiya Kiritsugu avoided the black key, and the two separated a long enough distance, a distance of ten or so, that was enough for him to avoid Kotomine Kirei's instant kill.
Resisting the pain in his body, Emiya Kiritsugu began to reload the Contender, but when he was about to aim, he found Kotomine Kirei had left his place.
- What kind of monster is this?
Emiya Kiritsugu turned his gaze to find Kotomine Kirei's position, raised his gun and fired at him, but Kotomine Kirei had his unique steps to dodge one by one, Emiya Kiritsugu could only rely on his memory to move towards him. Shoot at that location.
But all his attacks were in vain. Kotomine Kirei even gave up the black key, and put his chances of winning on taijutsu. His choice was correct, Emiya Kiritsugu's lungs were severely damaged, and it became difficult to even breathe, let alone move.
Kotomine Kirei only needed to concentrate on Emiya Kiritsugu's shooting movements and dodge the bullets that were about to shoot.
The movement of his feet seemed to be sliding, and Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to have given up and stopped shooting just now.
—Understood, the bullet in the gun has been emptied.
Kotomine Kirei instantly understood why Emiya Kiritsugu stopped firing, and at the same time knew that victory was at hand.
This time the attack was the heart. If it hits, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart will be broken, and there is almost no chance of survival.
The fist arrived on schedule, and everything went so smoothly that people were surprised. In a trance, Kotomine Kirei thought of the information about Emiya Kiritsugu that he had collected not long ago. This determined man could not give up easily.
At this moment, Kotomine Kirei saw Emiya Kiritsugu's lips moving, and he also heard Emiya Kiritsugu's voice close at hand.
"Inherent time control, quadruple speed."
In Kotomine Kirei's eyes, Emiya Kiritsugu's speed had reached an incredible level. But Emiya Kiritsugu didn't fight back. Instead, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the wrist of his right fist, while his right raised the gun to his heart.
- And bullets?
Kotomine Kirei understood that Emiya Kiritsugu was disguised as a bullet to shoot light, but in fact he still had a deadly bullet, just to let him relax with this gun for a moment.
There was no turning back for the punch that was punched out. Kotomine Kirei had indeed broken Emiya Kiritsugu's heart, but the body that was supposed to be punched out didn't take off because his wrist was caught.
"boom!"
Gunshots sounded, and the bullet pierced Kotomine Kirei's heart.
The two fell at the same time.
"It's really stupid. Since I'm going to die, does the Holy Grail still have any meaning? Does it mean that even if I die, I have to pull on a back?"
Kotomine Kirei couldn't wait for Emiya Kiritsugu's answer, and he died completely not long after.
"You are the stupid one."
Emiya Kiritsugu's voice sounded, he stood up, and it seemed that there was no problem at all, but the blood flowing from his lips did not seem to be the case.
Avalon is still functioning, and the ruptured heart has healed in a short time, but the bleeding will take some time to process.
It was a dangerous fight, and when the "killer" came to the front, the killer's advantage disappeared.
But it's all worth it, after getting the Holy Grail—
"In the name of the Command Spell, Saber, come now..."
However, before Emiya Kiritsugu could use the Command Spell, a figure fell from the Holy Grail, and it turned out to be Artoris who disappeared after entering the cave.
"Saber?"
"Who is it? Emiya?"
Artoris's state didn't seem right, his eyes seemed erratic, and it took a few seconds to see Emiya Kiritsugu before he recognized him.
"You came just in time, Saber, bring me the Holy Grail."
Emiya Kiritsugu's words made Atoris wake up in an instant.
"No, Emiya, the Holy Grail has been polluted by the evil of this world, and it is no longer a wishing machine that can fulfill wishes."
Recalling what he had just met in the Holy Grail, Artoris must tell Emiya Kiritsugu the truth.
Emiya Kiritsugu raised his head, he could only feel the endless magic power in the Holy Grail, and there was absolutely no evil in this world that Artoris said.
If you make a wish to this Holy Grail, there is no doubt that his wish will come true.
"Go get the grail, Saber."
Emiya Kiritsugu repeated his order, but Artoris was unmoved.
"Weigong, listen to me..."
"In the name of the Command Spell, Saber, bring me the Holy Grail."
"what?"
Artoris didn't expect Emiya Kiritsugu to be so decisive, and he didn't even intend to listen to his explanation.
At the command of the Command Spell, Artoris' body began to spin out of control.
"Emiya Kiritsugu, what are you thinking?!"
Emiya Kiritsugu said ruthlessly: "Like you, I want to get the Holy Grail. Saber, you have been deceived. Since you don't want to do it, then follow my orders."
"Emiya Kiritsugu!"
Artoris shouted Emiya Kiritsugu's name aloud, but it didn't make any sense. A man who fought for his ideals all his life would not be changed by just a few words.
The next moment, Artolis gritted his teeth and made an unexpected move.
-puff!
Emiya Kiritsugu lowered his head and watched in disbelief as Artoris' holy sword pierced his heart.
"Why, why, Saber?"
He really could not have imagined that King Arthur could actually do the act of "killing his master" and face his Master with the holy sword.
"Eigong, both you and the Holy Grail are crazy."
PS: I didn’t expect it, you guys (laughs), I have designed this plot for a long time
Chapter 593, Chapter 124, Job Change
"I'm sorry, Emiya Kiritsugu."
Artoris looked sadly at the fallen Emiya Kiritsugu.
He doesn't know this Master very well. Emiya Kiritsugu is a person who speaks very little, even in front of Ellie and Illya. Although Artoris disagreed with Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior, it did not mean that he judged others by his own standards, especially after understanding the purpose of Emiya Kiritsugu's capture of the Holy Grail, he agreed with his battle plan. .
He really didn't want to do it if he could.
But in the face of the Black Holy Grail, Artoris had no choice.
Although Command Spells have absolute command ability for Servants, Saber has an A-rank anti-magic power. If Artolis insists on resisting Command Spells, Emiya Kiritsugu will spend at least two Command Spells. to make him carry out the coercive order.
Knowing that Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts could not be changed, Artoris finally chose to kill Emiya Kiritsugu. With the death of Emiya Kiritsugu, the power of the Command Spell also disappeared, and Artoris did not need to resist the Command Spell to divide his energy.
Artoris looked around and found that besides Emiya Kiritsugu, there was only Kotomine Kirei, but there was no sign of Mona Lisa or Roman.
"It seems that I have been in the Holy Grail for too long... Is this magic power Archer?" Artoris felt a powerful force from outside, "No, Roman, don't be impulsive."
Artolis hurried out, for fear that Roman and Mona Lisa would get lost in finding Gilgamesh.
However, he obviously thought too much. Although Roman was really confused, Mona Lisa stopped him in time. It took a long time to persuade him to stop the risky move, but you can imagine how annoyed Mona Lisa was to him when Artolis appeared in front of him.
- Did I offend her?
Artolis asked himself, but quickly put it out of his mind, because Roman was delighted with his presence.
"That's great, Artoris, I thought something was wrong with you, and I didn't see you appear until I waited for you."
"Sorry, I've stayed in the Holy Grail for a long time." Speaking of this, Artolis' face showed a look of guilt, "I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your expectations at that time. It was you who trusted me. would take me there, and I ended up choosing the Holy Grail."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can come back." Roman shook his head and said, "To be honest, I was also deceived at the time. I really didn't expect the Holy Grail to have such a disguise. It was almost one of El-Melloi II. The information is wrong."
"It's not just you, Emiya Kiritsugu is also bewitched by the Holy Grail."
A sad look appeared on Artolis' face, and then he told Roman what happened just now. Emiya Kiritsugu insisted on getting Artoris to obtain the Holy Grail, but was killed by Artoris in the end. This is not a glorious thing, but in front of Merlin's spiritual foundation, Artoris still told the matter. .
In addition to this, there is another thing. After Emiya Kiritsugu died, it was difficult for Artoris to act here for a long time without a Master. He needed a new Master to provide him with magic power, and there was no such candidate. The question is Roman.
After learning about the situation, Roman did not hesitate to sign a contract with Artolis.
And just like that, the final squad of the Holy Grail War was officially formed.
Yuanzang Mountain is not a very high mountain. There is a temple on the mountain called Liudong Temple, but this temple is not very popular. As a battlefield, this is undoubtedly a good place.
When the three came to the gate of Liudong Temple, Gilgamesh had been waiting there for a long time.
Surprisingly, Gilgamesh has changed a lot.
The breastplate that protects him has been removed, leaving only the shoulder armor above the abdomen, which allows his body to be more flexible. He carried two golden swords behind him. The two swords looked exactly the same, as if they were a pair of swords.
But what changed more was his temperament. There is a wildness about him that is hard to look at, a sense of aggression coming towards him.
— Seems like… younger?
"No! This is not Archer!" El-Melloi II exclaimed, "The detection equipment here shows that his job is Saber!"
"What? You mean he changed his agency?"
This is unheard of. When a Servant comes, it will use the job as a container, but I have never heard of a Servant who can change his job.
"Has it finally appeared? Holy Swordsman, and Romani." Gilgamesh's smile did not contain the annoying ridicule. It seemed to have the feeling of a sunshine boy, but it was more aggressive.
"To let this king waste time here. But this king will not be angry, because this is the final victory of this Holy Grail War, and it is not necessary to forgive your crimes."
"This guy..." Only this arrogance has not changed, making Mona Lisa grit her teeth.
