My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Chapter 168 Just because I looked at you one more time in the crowd...

Have you been betrayed?

This was the first thought that flashed through Emiya Kiritsugu's mind when he woke up from groaning.

He moved his limbs quietly and found that he was not restrained. Then he opened his eyes suddenly, pulled out the pistol from his windbreaker, and rolled to the wall. The inherent control was ready to be activated at any time to prevent others from being fatal. one strike.

However, no one.

Only then did Emiya Kiritsugu realize that he was still in the second stronghold, the purely Japanese-style courtyard.

It's just that... there's no one around.

The man in black looked around and finally put down his pistol in despair.

After getting rid of the life and death crisis, the pain of betrayal came to him again.

Saber, the Servant he summoned himself, actually attacked him... Emiya Kiritsugu subconsciously raised his arm, but the command spell on the back of his hand had no direction, as if the corresponding Servant no longer existed. of.

In other words, Saber severed the master-slave contract between them, and as far as Emiya Kiritsugu knew, there was only one person who had such means.

"Shuoyue."

Chewing these two words slowly, as if this could resist the coldness spreading throughout his body, Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes and his arms trembled.

"Are you kidding...?"

What he was worried about happened so easily.

The demon, not content with just restraining him, came to visit him again, this time, completely breaking his hands and feet.

He lost his servant, Saber, who was known as the strongest class.

He lost his assistant, like his half of Maiya Kuu.

He lost his wife and the crucial Lesser Grail in the Holy Grail War, Irisviel.

He lost his daughter. Illya seems to be fine, but in fact her life hangs on a thread. Life and death are in Caster's hands.

He lost...heh.

He has nothing left.

Emiya Kiritsugu stumbled onto a chair, staring at the ceiling blankly, listening to the patter of rain outside the window.

Shuo Yue left nothing to him except the man himself.

Suddenly, a piece of paper on the table broke into Emiya Kiritsugu's dim eyes.

Mechanically he took it in his hand and spread it out.

【Dear Mr. Kiritsugu:】

[It’s true, but I believe you want to hit me in the face with a magazine of bullets, so I’ll get straight to the point. 】

[First of all, as you can see, your lover Irisviel and assistant Maiya Kuu have been kidnapped by Saber and me. 】

[If you want to save them, let's use your specialty - assassination. 】

[Kill Kotomine Kirei and come to Mount Enzo with the evidence of his death. I will prepare a celebration drink and welcome your triumph with your wife]

【New Moon】

Staring at the words above, Emiya Kiritsugu stared at them in trance for a long time, then suddenly stood up and walked into the rain outside the door without looking back.

There was no light in his eyes, but something was burning, like a life-seeking evil ghost crawling out of a tombstone.

————

Lost...

The red-haired strong man was lying on the grass in the shape of a "big", his shirt in tatters.

"That guy is indeed the Hero King of Ancient Babylonia..." With such a bitter smile, Iskandar reluctantly stood up and heard the overwhelming protest from all the organs in his body.

But these sounds are just hollow, empty echoes.

He is a Servant, an existence made of magic power, and does not have a real body.

In other words, these servants are nothing more than familiars, even the highest ranking ones.

As long as it is a familiar, it must obtain magic power from the contractor. However, now that the contract is broken, Iskandar can only fight with his own magic power, so he fell into the fight with Gilgamesh. Downwind.

Just when he was about to use the 'King's Army' to finish everything off, Gilgamesh seemed to realize something, stepped directly onto the Ark Vimayya, and disappeared in front of Iskandar.

Strictly speaking, this is a tie, but for the Conqueror King, failure to capture his opponent is a failure.

"There's not much magic left." Iskandar muttered, but he still squeezed out the remaining power and summoned the Divine Wheel.

He conquered the king, even if he died, he would die on the way forward, instead of abandoning himself in some lawn and waiting for death to come.

"Although you are also very tired, you still want to walk with me for a while, Bull."

The bull mooed obediently, then spread its hooves, carrying Iskandar into the air and heading towards the church.

Although he arrived a step late, Weber told him everything before the contract was broken, including the fact that Kirei Kotomine, who claimed to be the supervisor, came to the door.

In other words, Kotomine Kirei must know something.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the raindrops falling from the gray curtain soaked the gaps in the armor. The red-haired man squinted his eyes slightly, feeling the coolness that spread to his limbs, and he was greedy for the feeling of being in contact with the world.

Being able to touch the world means being able to use both hands and feet to measure this land and conquer all territories within sight.

When he thought of this, endless joy surged from the depths of Rider's soul, as if he was drinking a cool ice spring on a hot day.

Ah, how wonderful this is.

It's a pity that such enjoyment can only last until today...

Suddenly, Iskandar was attracted by the man in black running on the street.

"This is the magician killer from Saber's team?"

At the same time, the man in black also raised his head as if feeling something. Raindrops fell from his hair and wet his whole body, making him look as embarrassed as Iskandar, who was also soaked in the rain. He looked even thinner, like a lone wolf whose viciousness remained unchanged despite a broken thigh.

"...Rider?"

A servant who lost his master, and a master who lost his servant, the gears of fate turned, and they meshed together by such an incomparable coincidence.

————

When Irisviel opened her eyes, she unexpectedly found that she was lying on the bed to rest. After seeing her waking up, Saber next to her first showed a reassuring smile, and then turned away in shame. Looking at her, she turned and shouted:

"Shuoyue, Irisviel is awake."

"Oh, here it comes."

The diamond-shaped space opened up, and a young man wearing a cooking apron, who seemed to be preparing dinner, appeared in front of Irisviel, and said hello to her astonished gaze:

"Hey, madam, long time no see."

"This is... you... this is?"

Irisviel looked at the unusually harmonious duo of Saber and Shuo Yue, her mind went blank, and it took a moment to formulate her sentences:

"Have you formed a secret alliance?"

"Correct answer." Shuo Yue snapped her fingers, "For one reason, I successfully convinced Saber and made her my right-hand man."

"A...reason?"

"Yes, a reason." Seeing the evil smile on Shuo Yue's lips, Saber secretly screamed, trying to stop her but it was too late.

"If you Einzbern still remember the big accident of the Third Holy Grail War, you should pay more attention to the possibility of 'abnormality' happening in this Fourth War - in short, the current Holy Grail has been It’s been contaminated by Avenger’s magic power and has been completely destroyed.”

"How... is this possible?" Irisviel wanted to retort, but Sakuyue's face was not joking at all, and even Saber nodded slightly, agreeing with what he said.

In other words, is there really something wrong with the Holy Grail system?

Then our Einzbern's millennium long-cherished wish...

What should Kiritsugu do with his dream?

As a cyborg of Einzbern, a staunch supporter of Emiya Kiritsugu, and the Little Holy Grail responsible for connecting, Irisviel fell into shock as expected, with a dull expression and dull eyes, as if she was the first to The Great Holy Grail was broken in one step.

"The rest is up to you, Saber. We must ask my wife to cooperate with our actions." After finishing Irisviel, Shuo Yue turned around and returned to the diamond-shaped space. "The food in the kitchen is cooked just right. I went back and continued cooking. But to be honest, I didn’t expect Kuu Maiya to be a good cook.”

The replacement magic was turned off. Saber looked at Irisviel, who only knew Aba and Aba, and sighed helplessly.

"Shuoyue...you guy."

I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort for Irisviel to recognize the reality.

On the other side, Waver, who was also kidnapped, did not face the same evil fate as Irisviel. Fortunately, this weak, pitiful and helpless former Master was currently being bound, imprisoned and trained. treatment.

That’s all.
