My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Irisviel had never seen such an expression on her husband's part.

The desperate expression was like that of a wounded and frightened child, who seemed about to burst into tears. The person standing there was not a highly skilled magician killer at all, but a weak and timid man.

"Kiritsugu, you-"

Irisviel could feel his chest trembling, and her husband's once strong and reliable wrists were now as weak as a child clinging to a loving mother.

"What if I -" Kiritsugu hugged Irisviel with his arms until it hurt, and asked in a hoarse and weak voice in her ear: "If I decide to abandon everything and run away now - Ellie, are you willing to go with me? ?"

This was probably the question that Irisviel could never imagine that Emiya Kiritsugu would be able to say.

"Ilia...what should we do with the child in Winter City?"

"I will go back and take her out, and kill anyone who gets in the way." The man's answer was urgent and concise, proving his firm will.

"In the days to come... I will invest everything I have on ourselves. I am willing to use all my life just to protect you and Illya..."

"..."

At this moment, Irisviel finally understood how far the man in front of her had been pushed. Before they arrived, someone seemed to have used mysterious methods to completely destroy the warrior's firm mind and body.

He is not the Kiritsugu of nine years ago, not the killing machine who is as sharp as a hound, as ruthless and sharp as the blade of a bullet, and who trains himself to the limit. He has changed so much that he has become fragile and worrying.

Irisviel knew what had changed him - that was his wife and daughter, impurities that would never have gotten into Emiya Kiritsugu's life.

Before coming to Winter City, Emiya Kiritsugu had nothing to lose. Even the heart to feel pain no longer existed. That’s why he could be so ruthless and cold-hearted. In order to pursue the unattainable dream of saving the world, Decisively give up and sacrifice.

What Kiritsugu needs to do now is to get himself back in time. But turning back time made his soul wail. The changes of ten years were too profound. The existence of Irisviel and Illya allowed Emiya Kiritsugu to find a bond in the world again.

The original killer who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his ideal is no longer there, replaced by a man who has a weakness and can no longer remain cold.

Emiya Kiritsugu's resistance to Saber shows his weakness. Now he was already trying his best just to maintain himself, and he had no energy left to accept Saber, and he had no time to think about how to coordinate the relationship with the King of Knights.

Irisviel's chest felt tight. The man she loved was in such pain, but she couldn't save herself. Because the one who tortured Kiritsugu was none other than himself.

If Kiritsugu agrees, then their future will definitely develop in a different direction, whether it is good or bad.

However, Irisviel just smiled gently and spoke as if she had penetrated her husband's soul:

"Can we escape?"

"You can escape. It's still too late to leave now." Kiritsugu answered immediately. But this sentence did not come from an existing belief. It was just spoken in words in order to force myself to believe in an extremely slim hope.

"——You lied." So Irisviel retorted to him, denying him gently but cruelly.

"This sentence is a lie. Emiya Kiritsugu, you will never escape. You will not forgive yourself for abandoning the Holy Grail and being unable to save the world. You will definitely become the first and last sanctioner and kill Emiya Kiritsugu." Si’ this existence.”

The man in his arms was silent.

Is he crying? Or let out a silent whimper?

Because he himself knew very well that he had no other choice.

The Iron Curtain had fallen, and the moment they stepped into Fuyuki City, there was nowhere to escape.

After realizing this, something seemed to break.

Instead, a new belief coalesced in Emiya Kiritsugu's heart.

"Ah, yes, we can't escape anymore."

Gently but irresistibly pushing away the embrace, what was revealed in front of Irisviel was the cold and careful "Magician Killer" again.

"At least before fate arrives, please allow me to struggle a little longer."

Speaking in an extremely sarcastic tone, Emiya Kiritsugu asked Saber to take Irisviel away, and then took out a BB machine, but this old-fashioned machine neither vibrated nor made a ringtone. A modified line feeds the detonation tube connected to the C4 bomb.

He pressed the last button without hesitation.

Accompanied by a thunderous rumble, a blinding cloud of fire suddenly enveloped the hotel.

Although the explosion was not large in scale, the sound of the explosion did not even reach outside the unoccupied hotel.

But instead of the sound of explosions ringing in the night sky, there was the eerie wail of steel and concrete tumbling against each other.

The hotel collapsed!

The high-rise hotel, which was more than 150 meters high, remained upright and collapsed as if it was being sucked in by the ground. Because all the outer walls collapsed inward, no debris burst out, only the dust generated by the collapse engulfed the surrounding streets.

Thanks to Emiya Kiritsugu's superb blasting technology, by destroying load-bearing walls and key pillars, the Hyatt Regency Hotel was pressed inward due to its own weight, achieving complete destruction.

There were no redundant arrangements, and the impact on the surroundings was minimized. Even the sound was almost silent. Only the collapse of a 150-meter-high building can prove how proficient Emiya Kiritsugu's blasting technology is. And scary.

However, the man who caused all this did not even look at the explosion. His coat was blown up by the strong wind caused by the falling building. He walked among the crowd, surrounded by the sobs of frightened children, and the mother beside her hurriedly comforted her. children.

But such a scene could no longer shake Emiya Kiritsugu's footsteps.

He walked forward indifferently, watching the crowds running back and forth. When the wind pressure finally subsided, he lit the cigarette in his mouth and made a call.

"Maiya, how is the situation over there?"

"There was no movement on the 32nd floor until the end, and the target did not escape out of the building."

"very good."

Emiya Kiritsugu walked to the foot of another building and took out a cello-like case from a hidden corner at the entrance of the corridor.

"Be prepared for sniping, Maiya."

Opening the piano case, the well-maintained gun parts lay quietly inside. They were quickly assembled by the magician killer and turned into a dangerous killing weapon.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his sniper rifle and coldly asserted:

"Even if Kenneth dies, Caster's master Sakuyue cannot declare the end so simply."

"At that time, it will be up to us to penetrate his head ourselves."
