There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 259 256. The Shadow of the Temple
Emiya Kiritsugu pushed open the door of Fuyuki City Church.

The street lights in the streets of Fuyuki City have been turned on, and the night is gradually getting darker. However, under the influence of the recent curfew order in Fuyuki City, the church is empty and slightly dim because there are no lights on.

As soon as he entered the church, Emiya Kiritsugu shouted:

"Kotomine Kirei, I have come here alone as you said. Where is Irisviel?"

No voice responded to him.

Emiya Kiritsugu opened the safety of the Calico M950 submachine gun in his hand expressionlessly.

For Emiya Kiritsugu, entering the Fuyuki City Church was tantamount to going deep into the enemy camp alone. However, in the currently empty church, the atmosphere of the Komon Banquet was so strong that Emiya Kiritsugu's vigilance reached its highest state.

Da da da……

The hardened soles of the special leather boots knocked out crisp echoes on the marble floor of the church, and Emiya Kiritsugu moved towards the interior of the church at a slow and even speed.

Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu felt his left foot kick a soft unknown object.

Emiya Kiritsugu subconsciously lowered his head slightly, and before he had time to see clearly what he kicked under his feet, a strange movement came from in front of him.What seemed to be a human figure flashed away in the dim light of the church.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Emiya Kiritsugu took half a step back, raised his gun and fired a short burst.

"Oops!"

The moment the gun was fired, Emiya Kiritsugu felt a chill and a faint sound of wind coming from his back.

"Inherent time control, double speed!"

At the critical moment, with his extraordinary combat awareness and years of combat experience, Emiya Kiritsugu used the family magic that had been carved into his bone marrow.

The research on magic that manipulates time, passed down from generation to generation in the Emiya family, once again became Emiya Kiritsugu's power at this moment.

Speeding up his own time at twice the speed, Emiya Kiritsugu's movements were so fast that it almost brought out afterimages.

The sharp edge that was about to hit the aorta of his neck, but due to his rapid movement, only left a not-so-deep gash on his neck.

Covering the incision on his neck to block the blood, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his head and looked at the culprit who cut him.

"Kotomine Kirei..."

"It's a pity. If you hadn't escaped, then after my black key pierced the nerve, you would lose consciousness in less than half a second. This is the least painful way to die."

Kotomine Kirei looked at the three slender black keys held between his right fingers, and expressed disappointment.

"I'm really sorry that I didn't get what you wanted, Kotomine Kirei."

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the ceiling above his head.

Sure enough, an iron rod was fixed on the ceiling of the church with expansion screws.

Kotomine Kirei just avoided Emiya Kiritsugu's search by hanging upside down on the ceiling, taking advantage of the darkness in the church without turning on the light source.He was able to launch a surprise attack on Emiya Kiritsugu by surprise.

"Then, what exactly did you encounter and see just now..."

Emiya Kiritsugu slightly turned his head away, always staring at Kotomine Kirei out of the corner of his eyes, while the main line of sight focused on his own feet.

"?!"

What Emiya Kiritsugu didn't expect was that the soft object he kicked just now turned out to be a cold corpse.

"This is...the appointee of the Holy Church as the arbiter, the priest of Fuyuki City?"

"That's right, the person in front of you is not only the priest of Fuyuki City, but also the former arbiter of this Holy Grail War, as well as my father."

Kotomine Kirei threw a black key casually, and the destination of the thrown black key was not Emiya Kiritsugu, the enemy in front of him, but precisely hit the switch of the fluorescent lamp inside the church.

Inside the church, it became as bright as day immediately after the lights were turned on.

Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils shrank.

A few meters away, a middle-aged man in a red suit was also lying on the church carpet.

Judging from the dried blood on the clothes, this man, like Father Risei at Emiya Kiritsugu's feet, had been dead for a long time.

"The person you probably haven't met is Archer's former master, Tosaka Tokiomi, head of the Tosaka family, and my teacher."

Kotomine Kirei calmly introduced the identities of the two corpses that had become cold.This "off-line" behavior made even Emiya Kiritsugu, who had experienced many battles, feel a chill.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the remains on the ground and confirmed that the possibility of someone disguising the remains was extremely low, then turned to Kotomine Kirei and asked:

"I came to Fuyuki City Church alone at eight o'clock in the evening as you said. It's time for you to fulfill your promise, Kotomine Kirei. Where did Irisviel, who was kidnapped by you, go?"

Kotomine Kirei spread out his hands that had been stained red, and pointed to the black key between his fingers, smiling mysteriously:

"These black keys of mine have already been smeared with poison. Even if they cannot kill people quickly due to their special personal constitution, they can also make people lose their ability to resist. Now, do you feel muscle weakness all over your body, and you almost feel like you are dying?" Can't stand still?"

"what?"

Emiya Kiritsugu was frightened and angry, roared angrily, and just as he was about to make Kotomine Kirei a desperate fight, his body suddenly couldn't be controlled like an arm.

The poison started to take effect, and as Kotomine Kirei said, a feeling of powerlessness quickly spread throughout his body.

"boom!"

Emiya Kiritsugu could no longer support the weight of his whole body, fell to his knees and stopped breathing.

Kotomine Kirei stood there waiting for a while, then walked towards Emiya Kiritsugu's "body".

Kotomine Kirei deftly moved his left hand, and the hilts of the three black keys slid down the special cassock into between his left fingers.

Whoosh whoosh!
After taking two steps, Kotomine Kirei swung his left hand sharply, and the three black keys accurately hit Emiya Kiritsugu's abdominal viscera.

As expected, Emiya Kiritsugu remained as motionless as the four others.

Kotomine Kirei nodded slightly, and the movements of his feet became a little faster.

And when Kotomine Kirei approached to less than one meter away from Emiya Kiritsugu, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was completely like a dead body, held the Calico M950 assault pistol at a very close distance of less than one meter like a hail of bullets. Unleash individual firepower.

Kotomine Kirei reacted very quickly and raised his hands to block the flying bullets with his forearms.

ding ding dong...

The shell casings and bullets fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Speaking of Mine Kirei's cassock, there wasn't even a single hole.Under the vestment, except for the bruises caused by the impact of the bullets, there was no damage caused by the guns.

"The equipment of the church agent is really extraordinary."

The Parabellum pistol bullets fired from the Calico submachine gun were completely unable to penetrate the surrogate robe Kotomine Kirei was wearing.Although the agent's robes treated with protective spells have only a thin layer, their protective power is not inferior to that of modern body armor made of cutting-edge materials.

Of course, even though the material that made up the cassock hadn't been penetrated, the huge impact brought by the Parabellum pistol bullet's muzzle velocity of nearly 400 meters per second still hit Kotomine Kirei's body in earnest.Emiya Kiritsugu knew very well that he could completely withstand the terrifying storm of bullets, and Kotomine Kirei's muscles trained to the extreme were another secret weapon for him to be able to prevent bullets.

Just like the plots in old comics and martial arts novels, evenly matched enemies and opponents sometimes produce feelings of sympathy.

Regarding the tactics adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu, Kotomine Kirei also had no lack of praise.

"Mr. Emiya, your ability is also extraordinary. It is incredible that you can launch an attack as if nothing happened even though you are poisoned and pierced through your vitals. How did you survive such a serious injury?"

And after Kotomine Kirei saw that the cut cut by the black key had healed under Emiya Kiritsugu's left hand covering his neck, he immediately had an answer in his heart.

"Regeneration ability?"

Kotomine Kirei showed a smile.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't answer, but pulled out the black key that went through his abdomen without changing his expression.The sharp edge of the black key was stained with bright red blood, and the moment the black key was pulled out, the wound on his abdomen had begun to regenerate rapidly.

Emiya Kiritsugu gently touched his chest.

It all started when Emiya Kiritsugu accepted the entrustment from the Einzbern family ten years ago.

The Einzbern family was the founding royal family of the Holy Grail War, but because the family members were all artificial humans who were not good at fighting and guessing people's hearts, they were undoubtedly eliminated early in the previous three Holy Grail Wars.

In order to increase the probability of obtaining the Holy Grail, the current head of the Einzbern family, Ubstakuhaid von Einzbern, and other members decided to recruit the famous magician killer in the magic world, that is, Wei Wei. Miya Kiritsugu participated in the Holy Grail War on behalf of the Einzbern family.

At the same time, the Einzbern family also handed over the holy relic excavated from Cornwall, the scabbard Avalon of the holy sword in the hands of the Celtic mythical figure King Arthur, to Emiya Kiritsugu.As a catalyst for summoning the King of Knights.

The name of Avalon comes from the kingdom of elves in Celtic mythology. The holder will be protected by elves and will not suffer any harm, even curses can be cured.

In order to protect Irisviel, Emiya Kiritsugu handed over Avalon to Irisviel before the Holy Grail War began.And just last night, after the end of the Battle of Mitokawa, Irisviel once again entrusted the scabbard to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Avalon's healing effect continuously healed Emiya Kiritsugu's body. The poison smeared on the surface of the black key, or the knife wound caused by the black key, became no longer fatal under the powerful effect of Avalon. .

It is precisely because of the scabbard Avalon that Emiya Kiritsugu dared to carry out such a crazy battle plan:
After Kotomine Kirei revealed that the sword was highly poisonous, Emiya Kiritsugu instead resorted to tricks, pretended to be dead from the poison and fell to the ground, and at the moment he fell to the ground, he used "Inherent Temporal Control · One-third Double Speed" to move The metabolism of my whole body has been reduced to one-third of the normal state.

Although Kotomine Kirei had been very vigilant in throwing the black keys to test, Emiya Kiritsugu relied on Avalon and took the penetrating damage of three black keys, waiting until Kotomine Kirei approached him unpreparedly. Within one meter in front of him, he launched the attack unexpectedly.

If Kotomine Kirei hadn't been wearing the special combat vest of the performer, he would have been sieved by the hail of bullets from the submachine gun at this time.

Irisviel's weak but firm words still echoed in Emiya Kiritsugu's ears:

"I can't do anything now. Kiritsugu, you should keep this scabbard. It will protect you on my behalf. You must win the Holy Grail and release the curse of the Holy Grail from generation to generation of the Einzbern family. The next one will be our daughter Ilya..."

"I will get the Holy Grail, Eri. For our daughter Illya, and for you..."

The black key pulled out from the body was discarded on the ground, and the thin blade made of magic power made a clear buzzing on the ground.

He held the Calico M950 tightly in his left hand, and pulled out the retro and elegant high-power single-shot Arms Contender from his waist with his right hand. The two black muzzles pointed at Kotomine Kirei in front of him at the same time.

"Kotomine Kirei, I don't want to ask again, where is Irisviel now?"

"Heh heh heh heh heh..."

For some reason, Kotomine Kirei suddenly started laughing in a low voice, and his laughter continued to expand, gradually turning into wanton laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm sorry, sorry, but every time I think about it, I can't help but want to laugh. Now that you are in front of me, this feeling is even stronger."

To Kotomine Kirei, being able to feel pleasure and joy from the bottom of his heart only started a few days ago. proficient.

"What do you mean?"

"Eimiya Kiritsugu, please listen carefully to what I say next."

Kotomine Kirei twitched the corners of his mouth, and in the eyes of others, his half-smile was rather ferocious.

Kotomine Kirei raised his hands.

Those were a pair of hands that had undergone rigorous training, with thick knuckles and faintly visible muscle lines, which came from the effect of Kotomine Kirei's long-term practice of Bajiquan.

At this time, Kotomine Kirei raised his hands, naturally not to show off his good figure brought about by years of training.

The focus of Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes was on Kotomine Kirei's unnaturally red hands, and the bloodstains on the black box which were not obvious but still visible on the black sleeves of his church cassock.

Realizing that Emiya Kiritsugu was observing the details on his hands, Kotomine Kirei had a "smile" in the corners of his eyes.

"Your focus is not wrong, guess whose blood it is?"

Emiya Kiritsugu's brain involuntarily started running rapidly:

The bodies of Father Risei and Tosaka Tokiomi lying behind him were completely cold, and the time of death was at least ten hours ago. The blood on Kotomine Kirei's hands seemed to be fresher, so excluding Tosaka Tokiomi and The possibility of Father Risei; although he was injured just now, the wounds on his body were cut by the black key on the neck, and the waist and abdomen were pierced through by throwing, so the blood would not splash on Kotomine Kirei's hands, so he was excluded.Coupled with the fact that Kotomine Kirei "hinted" himself so much, then this matter must be closely related to me...

Constant thinking brought about a result that Emiya Kiritsugu did not want to believe——

The smile on Kotomine Kirei's face was like a devil's grin in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes:

"That's right, this is your wife, Irisviel's blood. If you want to explain it accurately, it's the blood spurted from her chest cavity!"

　There are still [-] words, I will add them later
