Under the Root

"No." Emiya Kiritsugu said coldly, "Kenneth's magic workshop has no flaws. Now the entire Hyatt Hotel is taken over by Kenneth, and the upper 24 floors have all been turned into alien worlds. If you break through, I believe We will die there without seeing Kenneth. And the genius of the clock tower probably has some understanding of modern equipment. I tried to destroy the load-bearing wall of the hotel, but failed."

"So, all we can rely on now is your treasure."

"But, the staff in the hotel..."

"This is a necessary sacrifice, don't forget your promise to Irisviel, Saber."

The promise to Irisviel, these words pierced the heart of the King of Knights like a sharp arrow.

"Understood, master." Arturia's body swayed as if she was unsteady on her feet, and then poured all her strength into her wrists gripping the hilt of the sword, and raised the golden sword high.

After a lapse of one day, the holy sword standing at the apex of mankind once again showed its true appearance under the sky of Fuyuki City, and this time there was no berserker to hinder its roar.

"Yesterday at 10 o'clock in the evening, a series of rear-end accidents occurred on the national highway from Fuyuki City to Fuyuki Airport. No casualties were caused. Please pay attention to driving safety and don't drink and drive."

In a luxurious bedroom of the Hyatt Hotel in Fuyuki City, Kenneth and his party were sitting on a soft sofa listening to the reports from the TV.

"Have you completed all the covert work in less than 30 minutes after the battle? The Holy Church doesn't seem to be underestimated." The red-haired beauty commented on the nominal arbiter in this Holy Grail War. "Kenneth, what do you say?"

However, her question was not answered as expected.The clock tower's first-level lecturer, a color-level magician, was staring at the dozens of magic dresses exuding powerful magic power in front of him, without saying a word.

"Kenneth? Kenneth!" Sola, who had never received such a cold reception from birth until now, couldn't help raising his voice.

"Oh, oh, sorry, Sola." At this moment, the genius of the clock tower realized that his fiancée was asking him a question. He raised his head in a daze and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Master, are you alright?" Seeing this situation, Diarmuid, who had been standing by as a spirit body, couldn't help showing his figure and asking.

In fact, at the end of last night's battle, he who was forced to kill Irisviel by his lord originally wanted to have a good argument with Kenneth.But when he saw Kenneth walking towards his stronghold in a distraught state, his anger disappeared in an instant.

+ It must be uncomfortable for the Lord to issue such an order. +

Thinking of this, Diarmuid became worried about Kenneth's situation.

"Kenneth." For this kind of Kenneth, Sola was also worried, for her, he was not only the biggest guarantee that she could survive this war, "Don't blame yourself, didn't you do a good job? You've already killed Saber's master, and if nothing else happens, Saber is about to leave the stage."

"But..." Kenneth's puzzling voice came out of his mouth, "I don't know why the order was changed by accident at that time, I obviously wanted to kill Saber first."

"So I was wondering if someone gave me a hint?" With that said, Kenneth grabbed a strange talisman and looked at it carefully.

"You mean Li Lin?" Seeing Kenneth picking up the amulet given to him by her hand, Sola raised the volume again, "You actually doubt my guardian knight?"

"No." Kenneth shook his head. "Although I have thought about it, I have tested this talisman several times, and there is no problem. Moreover, I am not boasting about Li Lin's magical attainments, but I am only hinting at him."

"Nonsense, how could Li Lin be so weak..."

"Uh, Diarmuid, do you think my situation at that time is a problem?" Kenneth, who knew he was slipping, quickly changed the subject. These days, he and Sola had argued several times over Li Lin's issue. , and every time it ended with his unprincipled concessions, even he had promised Sola such absurd request as to save Li Lin's life if possible.

He really didn't want to promise anything more.

"No problem, you have no signs of being manipulated." Diarmuid replied seriously.

"Well, it seems that I was thinking too much. Also, in that case, I want to imply that I have to be the Grand Marshal of Demonic Dao or above to be possible." Kenneth said with a hint of boasting, but even so, He still gently put the amulet on the table.

"Forget it, let's not think about such illusory things for now." Kenneth's eyes once again regained the sharpness unique to magicians.

Then, he suddenly noticed something that he had accidentally ignored just now.

This is... He looked out of the window, where there was a flicker of light.

Chapter 23 The Old Man in the Mountain

Light is flowing.

The light is roaring.

The magic power was accelerated by the unbound dragon factor, turning into a flash of light.The gushing torrent rolled up countless vortexes, swallowing the building and the night together.

The magic fortress built by the color magician of the clock tower with painstaking efforts was completely reduced to fly ash in less than two seconds under such an attack.Completely disappeared in this world.

However, this time is enough for Heroic Spirit.

"Saber, get ready to fight." Emiya Kiritsugu threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground casually, and then crushed it with his foot, "Failure is not allowed this time."

"Understood." The knight in the silver armor didn't say much. She stepped heavily on the reinforced concrete floor and jumped out.

The surrounding scenery flew by, and the heroic spirit, who had completely surpassed the limits of human beings, rushed towards the ruins of the Hyatt Hotel at a speed that humans could not imagine.

After a while, Arturia arrived at her destination.As she expected, it was the knight with two guns standing in front of her.

"You're here, Saber." Diarmuid showed an extremely sweet and refreshing smile.

"Before I start the war, I apologize to you. I am quite guilty of that throw that night."

"It's nothing." Arturia shook her head, "I know this is not your intention, Lancer. But this time, I have to let you die here even for the sake of Aili."

"Sure enough, your real master is someone else." Diarmuid showed an expected expression, "With such confidence, your magic power supply seems to have no effect at all."

"It's useless to talk too much, lancer." Artoria, who didn't have much time to talk nonsense, raised the holy sword in her hand.

In the next second, the clash of the magic spear and the holy sword resounded under the sky of Fuyuki City.
