Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

Kenneth's screams were heard through the mercury film as a bullet pierced his shoulder.

If it weren't for the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that blocked most of the bullet's power, the blow would have been enough to create a fatal crater in his body.

Emiya Kiritsugu was satisfied with such a result. The opponent's whole body was hidden behind the cover formed by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, and his figure could not be seen at all, let alone aimed at.

It was already a great luck to be able to hit the opponent, not to mention that this attack would cause fatal injuries to the opponent.

Kenneth's scream of pain soon turned into hatred towards Emiya Kiritsugu. With a curse, the Moon Spirit Marrow transformed into a whip and delivered a blow full of murderous intent.

Faced with the silver whip whistling in front of him, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't even activate his "Inherent Time Control". With a few jumps and rolls, he easily and calmly avoided the attack from the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

For Kiritsugu Emiya, the attack trajectory of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was very simple and direct.

Just by reading it once, you will have mastered the attack characteristics of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

Even though its attacks were extremely fast, the whip-like lashing was rather monotonous.

Kiritsugu Emiya fired the submachine gun again, and the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which was in automatic mode, immediately stopped attacking and turned into a defensive film to protect Kenneth.

By the time Kenneth gave the order again, Emiya Kiritsugu had already disappeared in front of Kenneth.

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu disappear again, Kenneth's face twisted into that of an angry lion, his eyes filled with anger.

Anger was like a raging fire, rapidly eroding Kenneth's heart.

As a first-rate magician, Kenneth would not be blinded by anger.

But everything that happened today made Kenneth's defenses break down.

In Kenneth's opinion, the secret duel between first-class magicians should be full of noble "gentleman's games".

Both sides set up magic tricks, counter each other's moves, calmly infer the nature of the other party's magic, and win through magic duels.

If that was the case, even if he failed, Kayneth would just feel that he was inferior in skills, but what Kiritsugu Emiya did made Kayneth feel that the other party was not fighting at all.

Set vile traps and use dirty tricks to ward off enemies.

People like him don't deserve to be called enemies at all. They are "garbage" that feels filthy when they enter the field of vision.

He doesn't understand the meaning of "Magic Duel" at all and only knows how to use despicable methods.

It's like a wild dog without an owner, crazy, dirty and mean.

Kenneth covered his injured shoulder and looked at the blood-red color spreading from his shoulder.

"They actually used such a despicable method to break through the defense of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid..."

"I was careless. That guy's attack was nothing..."

"We should use all our magic power to activate the faster and more efficient automatic mode..."

"I will use all my magic power. Your attack method will not work again. I will catch you and let you know what it means to be worse off than dead!"

Kenneth covered his injured shoulder, used magic to heal it slightly, used magic to stop the continuous flow of blood, and immediately ordered the Moon Spirit Marrow to carry him and chase after him.

Now is not the time for treatment. He now wishes he could catch Emiya Kiritsugu immediately and end the battle, torture him bit by bit, and make him feel what it means to be worse than death.

As a talented magician with outstanding achievements, the head of the Archibald family, and a first-class lecturer in the Clock Tower's Spiritual Department, Kenneth, who had a smooth first half of his life, had never been so embarrassed.

Being injured by a "wild dog" like Emiya Kiritsugu is a great shame.

Kenneth suppressed extreme anger in his heart and treated everything that stood in his way roughly.

Be it a door or a wall blocking his way, Kenneth vented his anger while rapidly approaching Kiritsugu Emiya by means of violent demolition.

Along the way, they encountered many crude traps set by Emiya Kiritsugu, but they were all dissolved one by one by the protective shield of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

A landmine hidden under a carpet that explodes when stepped on.

Use thin threads to connect the two sides of the corridor to make grenades that will explode when they are touched.

Looking at these traps, Kenneth felt a little funny.

This trap, which was designed only to deceive children, was so funny that Kenneth found it extremely amusing.

That laughter was both mocking Emiya Kiritsugu for only being able to use such childish tricks, and mocking himself for being hurt by such childish tricks.

The self-deprecating laughter is like adding dry wood to the burning anger, making it burn even more vigorously.

Through the contract with Lancer, Kayneth has sensed that Lancer has the upper hand in the war among the servants in the castle at this moment, almost crushing Saber all the way, and it seems that he will be able to take down Saber in less than a few dozen rounds.

On the contrary, he himself was played around by Saber's Master and got hurt.

The more Lancer gained the upper hand, the angrier Kenneth became.

He had now thrown out the idea of ​​taking down the Einzbern Castle with minimal losses, and instead was determined to kill that little jerk Emiya Kiritsugu at all costs.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. When Kenneth used violent demolition to quickly break through the wall to track down Kiritsugu Emiya's whereabouts, he found that the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid could not sense the heat source emanating from Kiritsugu Emiya nearby.

Heartbeat, breathing, body temperature...all of Emiya Kiritsugu's physical characteristics disappeared in the shabby corridor that was demolished by Kenneth.

There was no sign of Kiritsugu Emiya coming from the doors on either side of the corridor.

"Humph, you ran away? But even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will tear you into pieces!"

Kenneth glanced around and ordered the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to expand the tracking range.

In Kenneth's opinion, this place has been scanned by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and no one would stay here.

He never thought that Emiya Kiritsugu used the "Inherent Time Control·Triple Stasis" method to slow down his physiological functions to one-third of the normal level, cooling his body temperature to a level that was not much different from the outside temperature. He was like an icy sculpture, avoiding the detection of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which was used to determine whether there was any enemy presence in the room, was quickly withdrawn from the room where Kiritsugu Emiya was hiding, and according to the order given by Kenneth, it was explored into a room farther away.

Emiya Kiritsugu judged from Kayneth's footsteps that the other party thought there was no one here, so he lifted the stagnation effect of "Inherent Time Control".

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had escaped from the state of "Inherent Time Control·Triple Stasis", immediately jumped out of the room and quickly fired at Kenneth with his left hand again using the short machine gun, who was only three meters away from him.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid once again transformed into a protective film to protect Kenneth.

Feeling the sound of metal collision coming from behind him, Kenneth sneered, he did not let his guard down at all.

A wounded lion is at his most dangerous when he is fully aware of his surroundings.

The same went for Kenneth. Even in the room that had been scanned by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, Kenneth still kept observing his surroundings vigilantly.

Kenneth turned around and looked coldly at the two guns in Emiya Kiritsugu's hands, with a cold and twisted smile on his lips.

"I won't let you escape, and I won't kill you right away."

"I will crush your fingers, wrists, arms bit by bit. I will crush every bone in your body, then heal you, let your body regenerate, and then I will finish you off bit by bit."

Kenneth said this sinisterly, and the Moon Spirit Marrow beside him, following Kenneth's intimidation, stretched out countless whips, shaking, venting the anger in his heart on behalf of his master.

Looking at Kenneth who was trash-talking and full of hostility, Emiya Kiritsugu chuckled in his heart.

Everything was going as he wished and the plan was proceeding step by step.

Kiritsugu Emiya continued to shoot with the short machine gun, continuing to lure the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid into a state of self-defense, and then aimed the powerful gun in his right hand at himself.

Seeing an attack that was almost the same as before, Kenneth's expression became even more unhappy.

"You don't think the previous method will still work, do you? Idiot!"

"Boil, my blood."

Kenneth immediately used his maximum magic power to activate the mercury defense form.

This time it was no longer a thin film, but countless thorn-like columns rising from the floor to the ceiling.

Countless dense mercury substances like bamboo forests blocked Kenneth's way, like a solid wall of steel.

Faced with such an iron-clad defense, Kenneth had enough confidence to block the bullet shot by Kiritsugu Emiya.
