Lords of Camelot

Shirou and Rin had already arrived at the church at this moment, and Kotomine Kirei just looked at them with his hands behind his back.

"Welcome, looking at your eyes, it is obvious that you have learned a lot of incredible things." His smile was still the same. People who didn't understand his true self would think it was kind, but people who knew him knew that it was a mocking smile that belonged only to him.

"Ah, I do know a lot. Kirei, I didn't expect there were so many things all those years ago."

Rin spoke first, and after a burst of laughter, Kotomine Kirei asked her if she wanted to know about Tohsaka Tokiomi? Or about her mother being strangled by someone, causing her to become demented due to lack of oxygen in her brain?

Hearing this, Rin immediately exploded and wanted to rush up and beat Kotomine Kirei to death. However, Shirou stopped her. He had too many things to say and ask, so he needed to make it clear before fighting again.

"Boy~ No, Emiya Kiritsugu's son. This is the official meeting between us. I want to know each other. Those eyes, I see, it seems that what Emiya Kiritsugu had is indeed inherited by you."

Shirou's eyes were more serious than ever at this moment, and he couldn't help but ask Kotomine Kirei in front of him how he knew his father. However, Kirei just replied with a contemptuous laugh that he and he were both the masters of the last Holy Grail War and the two people who fought in the final duel.

This time, it was not Shirou who was shocked, but Rin. This was something she had never expected. Did this guy actually participate in the last Holy Grail War? And he even managed to hold on to the end? Does that mean he almost got the Holy Grail?

"But in that final battle, I lost to your father and was killed by him. After that, it was the magic of the Holy Grail that resurrected me. The fire in Fuyuki was the aftermath of our battle, and it was also the scar left by your father after he touched the Holy Grail."

Upon hearing this, Shirou's pupils dilated greatly. It turned out that the culprit of the fire that caused him to lose his family was... his father?

"Don't be fooled by him, Shirou. If this guy gets the Holy Grail, the things that will happen will be much more terrible than those many years ago. Your father was not wrong, and his idea in the end was not wrong either."

Altria spoke up to defend Kiritsugu, and when he finally realized that there was something wrong with the Holy Grail, Kiritsugu's decisiveness in giving orders was beyond imagination. The only problem was that he didn't expect that after destroying the Holy Grail, black mud would fall from the hole in the sky, which led to the tragic fire many years ago.

"That's right. There is no need to hide at this moment, Emiya Shirou. Like you, my self is also distorted. I cannot feel what you call good, and the joy I can feel is what you think is evil. Therefore, you and I are essentially the same, but we are in two different directions."

Kotomine Kirei's words were very clear, he represented a broad and clear evil. And Shirou needed someone like him, because there was evil to be conquered, so the righteous companions could stand up.

"Even if my existence is a fact that is difficult for you to accept, you still need me. Because if there is no evil, then there is no good, and there will be no need for heroes who fight for good and defeat evil."

Robin Hood appeared beside him, and Gilgamesh slowly walked out of the basement. The evil forces were now assembled.

“It is true that, because of the Lord of Camelot, all the evil in this world has no chance to appear. But isn’t this also interesting?

Toosaka Rin, you know the truth now so you want to attack me, but it is also true that I raised you and nurtured you. What kind of feelings do you have when you fight me now? Is it pure hatred? Or is it a complex feeling that is difficult to describe? I am looking forward to it.

"Shirou Emiya, I am evil in a broad sense. When you fight me, I become the beacon of your own justice. In this case, how will you feel when you fight me? As far as I know, you have never killed anyone. So, in order to prevent me from harming others in the future, you must kill me at this moment. How will you feel about this?"

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his clothes and pulled out the black key. At this moment, his face truly showed the joy that could only be expressed for himself:

"All this is really exciting. Lord, please grant me the joy of life at this moment."

Rin and Shirou immediately tensed up at this moment. They had no idea how powerful the person in front of them was, and this time they had to rely on themselves to overcome the difficulties.

There was a flash of golden and blue light, and Gilgamesh and Altria finished arming at the same time.

"Gilgamesh..." At this moment, Artoria also raised the holy spear, and Gilgamesh smiled and said, "Just come over." Isn't this also a pleasant battle?

Muramasa swung his sword directly at Robin Hood, killing one first and then attacking Gilgamesh. The old man didn't think of a fair fight, so he had to kill the weak first and then deal with the strong.

At this moment, Shirou and Rin are facing Kotomine Kirei. This time it is a head-on two-on-one situation, but Shirou and Rin feel that the pressure is even greater than when they were dealing with Illya before.

Illya also wanted to take their lives, but her sense of oppression was not as strong as Kotomine Kirei's. At this moment, Kotomine Kirei's aura was so pleasant and terrifying. It was clearly a battle with lives at stake and a clash of beliefs, but at this moment he actually felt that all of this was so wonderful.

When Rin started close combat with him, she understood the gap between her and Kotomine Kirei in physical skills. Although the priest's physical strength and power declined, his skills were still there, and it could even be said that his will and spirit were at a relatively peak state at this moment.

So when she crossed her arms to defend herself and was knocked back several meters by Kotomine Kirei's punch, she almost vomited. The difference in this moment was really shown vividly.

However, the next moment, Shirou's sword swung over. This was a projection of the same weapon as the one held in Muramasa's hand. Kotomine Kirei took a look and then responded with his black key. The moment the two weapons collided, Shirou almost lost his grip on the sword.

The difference in physical fitness between the two sides is no joke. Even though Shirou's enhanced magic has improved a lot under the guidance of Morgan and Muramasa during this period of time, it is still difficult for him to go head-to-head with Kotomine Kirei.

They can't win. This is the clearest feeling that Shirou and Rin have at the moment. Kotomine Kirei has not eaten for nothing after more than ten years of eating more than them. If there is no extra bonus, then the probability of them dying here is much greater than walking out alive.

"Is that all? That would be too boring. Human beings only create value at the moment of death. Using survival as a running start, leaping high into the sky, this kind of brilliance, can't you display it at this moment?

Emiya Shirou, just as you performed in the fire, wasn't it when you were on the verge of death that you displayed your unparalleled brilliance?"

After saying that, he kicked Shirou away. It was all very exciting, but not exciting enough. It was still a little lacking for him.
