My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

As mentioned before, the agents for the Einzbern family when they purchased the land were none other than the Tosaka family, the magic managers of Fuyuki City.

Even though Tokiomi Tosaka was a gentleman and didn't make any small moves before this, it doesn't mean that he will be so pedantic that he won't set up surveillance here during the Holy Grail War.

Especially in the harsh situation of losing Assassin.

Although the vast forest made the familiar's search incomplete, shortly after the magic conflict, Tohsaka Tokiomi's familiar arrived at the scene, providing the magician with a field of vision.

It was a big battle between Berserker, Lancer and Saber.

Although Lancer came to the rescue and rescued Saber from the disaster, it does not mean that they are allies. It is just a sympathy between people who are both chivalrous.

Saber's purpose is to stop intruders. In addition to Berserker, Lancer, who also entered the forest with the Master, is also within her blocking range.

Lancer's purpose is to prevent others from disturbing Master Kenneth's revenge battle. Therefore, while preventing Berserker from attacking Saber, it is impossible to free Saber's hands.

As for Berserker...he fights anyone he sees, and doesn't care whether they are allies or enemies.

It is precisely because of this that the conflict between the three servants has fallen into a strange stalemate, and until now, they have not been able to tell the difference.

In Tosaka Tokiomi's eyes, the significance of the emergence of the three followers is far more important than their current battle.

"The Lord of the Clock Tower invaded Einzbern to avenge last night's battle? In front of Kenneth, who is only one step away from the crown, the artificial people of Einzbern have a low chance of winning... ...But why did Berserker start a war with Einzbern today? Who is the master of the Matou family?"

Speaking of the Matou family, Tokiomi Tosaka inevitably thought of his, no, his former daughter, Sakura.

During this year, although Tokiomi Tosaka insisted on keeping a distance from Sakura, who had broken off the relationship, he could not resist the pleas of his wife and daughter, so he went to Matou's house and met with Sakura.

At that time, Matou Sakura's hair and eyes had turned purple, and the person standing behind her was not Matou Zangyan, the old head of Matou family, but Matou Kariya who had mastered the water magician. .

Not to mention the abnormality of the Matou family (it was rebuilt after being bombed), Matou Kariya's inexplicable hostility towards him also puzzled Tokiomi Tosaka.

But even if Matou Kariya participated in the Holy Grail War... he should have chosen to be hostile to the Tosaka family. Why did he become the enemy of the Einzbern?

While he was puzzled, he didn't realize that there was a slight fluctuation in the Tohsaka family's barrier, but it quickly disappeared.

A dark figure that looked exactly like Assassin appeared at the door of Tohsaka's mansion, looking up at the silent house.

Please note, this is not an act.

repeat.

This is not acting.

————

The short-haired man with a dark monastic uniform, a tall and oppressive figure, and a serious expression was walking on the other side of the forest.

Kotomine Kirei had no intention of getting involved in the battle. The east side of the forest had a high chance of becoming a battlefield. Enemies from Fuyuki's side would usually think of attacking from that direction.

So Kirei stayed outside the forest on the west side, waiting for the battle to begin. When the battle unfolded to the east as he had expected, he would gamble on the chance of attacking the castle unexpectedly from behind the battlefield.

It was not that he was unaware of the existence of the warning barrier, it would be better to say that it was precisely because of this that he walked over.

There was no other reason than that Kotomine Kirei was looking forward to the arrival of the participant from the Einzbern camp.

Emiya Kiritsugu.

He desperately wanted to find the answer from this man.

However, what he didn't know was that several people closely related to Emiya Kiritsugu were standing in the way of his wish.

For example, two women who originally planned to escape, but returned to the battlefield to protect the same man.

"Bang bang bang bang!" The hail of bullets made a loud noise.

But before that, the calm-faced priest had already crouched down, found the enemy's position from the direction of the gunfire, and fired two black keys.

There was a dull sound as the sword blade penetrated the tree trunk.

"...Huh?" Kirei didn't hit the target, and Kirei was a little surprised by the result.

In a moment of confusion, another gunshot came from the left side. Although Kirei dodged again at the critical moment, the situation this time was even more dangerous than the previous shooting. His previous conclusion that there was only one enemy made his reaction a little slow.

But it's really strange. The positions of the two shots were completely different, and the opponent was moving too fast. If there are two gunmen at the beginning, they should coordinate their timing and use cross-attack to snipe him.

The doubts in his heart have not been resolved yet, but Yanmine Kirei felt four auras again this time. His left and right hands immediately took out two black keys each, a total of four.

After the subconscious reaction, the experienced Kotomine Kirei suddenly realized something.

"Is this supposed to be an illusion?"

It's not impossible. He has arrived quite deep in the forest barrier. If illusion magic is included in the composition of the barrier, and if there are magicians nearby who can operate magic, it will be possible to disrupt Kirei's senses personally.

Is there really only one invisible sniper? If there is only one person, is he the one who operates the illusion? Or is there someone else responsible for supporting...

No matter what, until I find the clue to break through the spell, I can only dance to the enemy's pace.

The priest wearing a cassock raised four black keys and quickly threw them towards the air in all directions - and sure enough, none of them hit the target.

And then, the bullet burst out and hit him directly in the back.

Those are high-speed bullets that cannot even sense their breath. The barrier set up in the Einzbern Forest can not only show murderous intent to deceive the enemy, but also conceal the true murderous intent.

This third shot was the real killing blow.

Kuu Maiya, who planned this battle, slowly put away his gun.

.

Under the cover of Irisviel's illusion, the 300 Winchester caliber bullet passed through a distance of hundreds of meters from the position that Kirei had already eliminated with the black key, and hit Kotomine Kirei's spine with almost no murderous intent. .

With the lethality of the WASER WA2000, Maiya was sure that the target's spinal cord had been penetrated.

Kotomine Kirei behaved just as Maiya imagined. He didn't even have time to scream, and fell directly on his back without convulsing or moaning in pain.

He must have been shot through the spine as planned and died on the spot - Maiya judged this, stood up from the sniper position, pointed the Calico submachine gun in his hand at Kirei who was lying on his back, and cautiously approached him.

"Miss Maiya, no!" Irisviel immediately saw that this was a trap and warned Maiya, but by this time it was too late.

Kirei, who was lying on his back, did not get up. He only waved his arm and shot out a hidden black key. The black key shot from a low orbit cut Maiya's right calf, causing her to miss the opportunity to make the next move.

The next moment, the tall body of the man in black bounced up like a spring mechanism and rushed towards Maiya.

Maiya was not afraid, he raised his gun and shot. But Kirei didn't even hide, he just covered his head and face with his hands. The stand-up collar robe to the sleeves are all made of Kevlar fiber, and a layer of protective spell specially made by the church agent is tightly added to the inside of the clothes. If it were a nine-millimeter bullet, it would be impossible to penetrate it even at the shortest distance.

Even so, the kinetic energy of ten consecutive strikes at 250 feet per second continued to hit Kirei's body like the violent blows of a metal bat. But his extremely well-trained muscles were like armor, completely protecting his bones and internal organs from impact damage.

After discovering that Kirei was wearing body armor, Maiya immediately dropped the Calico submachine gun in his hand and pulled out a Rambo knife from the side of his thigh.

Contrary to Kevlar fiber's resistance to gun bullets, it has the property of being easily cut by sharp blades. If the gun doesn't work, the only way to survive is in close combat.

When the barrage was interrupted, Kirei once again pulled out a new black key in each hand and launched a cross slash at Maiya from the left and right. Maiya was not slowed down by her injured right foot at all, and used the thick blade to deflect the Black Key's combo attacks.

Although the Black Key's knife is far longer than a tactical fixed knife, it is still an enhanced throwing knife. In close combat, compared to the Black Key which lacks balance due to its extreme short handle, Maiya's tactical fixed blade has an overwhelming advantage due to its flexibility.

"Have the opportunity!"

Confirming his advantage, Maiya rushed forward with a half-sacrifice posture - the black key could hardly defend against an attack from this distance, and even if it was hit by a counterattack, the chance of being seriously injured was very low.

Kirei also caught the dagger in Maiya's right hand with the black key of his right hand. It seemed that he was planning to use the length of the blade to counterattack, and the sword shadow that crossed the dagger suddenly thrust towards him. Maiya, who was well prepared for this, easily dodged the counterattack. He just tilted his head slightly to avoid the tip of the black key's knife, and just broke into the enemy's arms.

But just when Maiya was convinced that victory was close at hand, Kirei made an unexpected move that surprised her.

The right hands of both sides crossed each other like cross counterattacks in boxing - but Kirei's right hand that should be holding the short handle of the black key was empty. Halfway through the thrust, he let go of the weapon in his hand.

In other words, Kirei's right hand attack was not intended to assassinate Maiya with the black key from the beginning.

Strong fingers with strong muscles and bones wrapped around Maiya's right wrist. The slender black-robed body that stood tall and straight bent like a snake, passing under Maiya's right arm. The next second, Kirei put Maiya's right hand behind his shoulder in a gesture similar to that of a wounded person.

In a fatal sense of hopelessness, Maiya realized that she had been deceived by her preconceived notion that the other party was the agent who used the black keys. This action comes from the Chinese boxing technique, Bajiquan!

In the midst of fatal despair, Kirei's side body was closely connected to Maiya's waist, his left elbow struck Maiya's heart, and his left foot also gave a beautiful blow to Maiya's supporting leg.

The most iconic move of Bajiquan is the inner elbow.

Maiya couldn't even hold on to the body and fell heavily to the ground. Because of the strong impact, she even fell into the illusion that her arms and legs fell off completely, and her whole body was paralyzed and unable to move. All he could consciously feel was the severe pain in his chest where he had been hit by an elbow, and at least two of his ribs were broken.

Even though Kuu Maiya was rendered unable to fight with just one blow, Kirei did not stop there.

Kotomine Kirei's goal is only Emiya Kiritsugu, and he has no attachment to Kuu Maiya. Therefore, he clenched his fists and prepared to give the opponent in front of him the final blow.

At this moment, a clear and loud call sounded.

"Shape ist leben!" (Shape ist leben!)
