Under the Root

"Thank you for your praise, Diarmuid." Cangyin's knight showed a piercing smile on his face, "As a thank you for your praise, how about asking you to die under its sword?"

"That's not allowed." Diarmuid said, "On the contrary, in order to win, I have to make you have no chance to use the holy sword."

Having said that, Diarmuid stepped heavily on the asphalt road, and then rushed towards Artoria like a strong wind.

This time, he voluntarily gave up the most important distance for spearmen, and engaged Arturia in close combat.

He had the confidence to cut her off the horse before the light of the Knight King's holy sword touched him.

However, at this moment, both sides fighting under the ruins heard familiar voices.

"Command my servants in the name of Command Seals."

"Command my puppet in the name of the command spell."

"Transfer to me immediately, immediately."

"How...how is this possible." Kenneth looked at the dagger with an inexplicable luster stuck on his left shoulder, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

But—the pain from the wound on his right shoulder hit him in bursts.The pain continued as if reminding me to accept the reality.

Just 5 minutes ago, he wasn't in the same mood.

At that time, he was still angry at the despicable methods of the real master of Einzbern before him.

Not a magic attack, but just a normal attack using explosives. Saber's master is not so much a magician as a mercenary who simply uses magic as a job.

But it was precisely because of this that an astonishing killing intent surged in Kenneth's heart.Ordinary rat or not, even if he had been taught a little magic, he was still a lowly man with dirty tricks.Such insults to magicians cannot be tolerated.

Therefore, with Kenneth as the center of the circle, the magic dress Moon Essence Fluid flew out with thin tentacles, and began to search for Emiya Kiritsugu's location.

As Kenneth's most trusted magic dress, the Moon Spirit Essence did not disappoint him.Accompanied by the explosion of gunpowder and the roar of guns, it gradually pushed Emiya Kiritsugu into a corner.

In Kenneth's eyes, at this moment, he has already won the game. Although he was a little curious about the gunpowder gun that the despicable mouse finally took out, which was similar to the powder gun at the end of the Middle Ages, this did not affect him. the fool.

However, at this moment, the existence that had been hiding in the shadows made a move. He jumped out of the shadows at lightning speed, and then inserted the ominously shining dagger into Kenneth's left shoulder.

If that was the case, apart from hastily recalling Diarmuid who was far away, Kenneth might not feel as incredible as he does now.After all, Assassin, who is a heroic spirit, did not kill Kenneth with a single blow in a sneak attack state, so he was proud enough.

But this matter is far more than that simple.

"Master Kenneth, your injury!" In his ear, Kenneth heard Diarmuid's anxious cry.

"Ah, Diarmuid. It's just in time to come back. Now immediately cover me to retreat from here and join Sola." Kenneth ordered with strong energy.

"That's not allowed." Emiya Kiritsugu who was in front of him stopped Kenneth. "Although it is very dangerous to have an assassin watching from the sidelines, you must die here today, magician."

"Yes, master of Lancer, Diarmuid's yellow rose severely injured the princess I guarded. For her safety, even if it puts me in danger, I will not give up." Returning to Emiya Kiritsugu also Beside Artoria also raised the holy sword in her hand.

Stupid guys, you don't understand anything at all!Kenneth roared in his heart, if he was just an assassin, he might continue to fight with his pride.But what made him feel desperate was that behind this assassin, there was at least a crown standing.

Just now, Assassin didn't use brute force to break open his own Moon Spiritual Essence, or rather, it wasn't Assassin who broke open his own Moon Spiritual Essence, the real breaking of the Moon Spiritual Essence was on his shoulder, which seemed hasty An unknown dagger made.

Just before that, as a genius, Kenneth never thought that one day he would be completely suppressed by others in the field of magic.Yes, comprehensive suppression, the enemy hidden behind Assassin must have seen the full strength of Kenneth, a color-level magician, and then made this weapon specifically to target Kenneth's weakness Design a dagger to deal with him specifically.

Can't win, Kenneth thought sadly.It is precisely because he is a genius magician that he can clearly recognize the gap between himself and that unknown magician, which is like the distance of heaven.

Therefore, you must evacuate immediately, or you will definitely die here.Barely suppressing the bursts of pain from his shoulders, Kenneth asked the group in front of him in a tone of cowardice that he had never before in his life: "Why are you willing to leave immediately! Einzbern!"

Chapter 25 The Curse of the Norns

"Damn, this is a shame." On a road leading to an abandoned factory in Fuyuki City.Kenneth gritted his teeth and said.

"Master Kenneth, please don't get excited, and be careful." Diarmuid, who was half hugging him and moving at a high speed, advised him, "Even if I lose the yellow rose that breaks the demon, I am still not afraid of anyone in melee combat." Heroic Spirit."

"It has nothing to do with that!" Kenneth said emotionally, with angry blue veins on his face, "I, Kenneth, the lord of the clock tower actually bowed his head to a mouse that blasphemed magic in order to survive, what a shame! What a shame!! !"

"Hmm. Lord Kenneth, please calm down. After your injury is healed, we can immediately have another match with the King of Knights." Diarmuid, who knew how arrogant his master was, could only Go on in Kenneth's tone.

"However, it's better to cultivate your body now. By the way, does Lord Kenneth need me to help you pull out the dagger now?"

Diarmuid temporarily stopped on the roof of a house, and then reached out to pull out the dagger.

"Don't move, idiot, do you want me to go to hell immediately!" Kenneth slapped Diarmuid's palm away.

"Lord Kenneth?"

"There is a curse in this dagger, as long as it is pulled out or destroyed, the curse inside will explode in my body instantly."

"Then what can you do, Master Kenneth." Diarmuid, who just wanted to take out the red rose, looked at Kenneth solemnly.He may be an expert in fighting, but naturally he has nothing to do with this kind of thing since he died of a curse.

"Take me back to the stronghold first." Kenneth said confidently, "I, Kenneth, am a genius among geniuses, and I am not someone who can take my life away by cursing."

You wait for me, unknown magician, it was your biggest mistake not to kill me on the spot.Give me enough time, even if it is the curse of the crown, I will explain it to you.

----

This is an empty place that is extremely quiet.Dust hangs in the cold air of winter nights.

There are only cold mechanical devices around, no one is there, and Kenneth himself has never been here.

But he knows here.This is the abandoned factory where Kenneth decided to temporarily house Sora after the Fuyuki Hotel was destroyed.

And it's about to be where he solves this tricky curse.
