Tribute to the Demon King

Assassin sighed unhappily.

At the moment of attack, the level of breath blocking will be greatly reduced.But everyone knows that the first strike launched by an assassin is always the one with the highest success rate.

He planned to activate the Noble Phantasm directly, but he was intuitively aware of it the moment he made the move.Not only interrupted the release of the Noble Phantasm, but also knocked him down humiliatingly, but did not make up for the final blow.

So contemptuous.

Even if you risk your life——

Just when Assassin was about to rush forward at all costs, Kotomine Kirei shouted loudly behind him:

"—Assassin, stop!"

……what?

Although he didn't know why, Assassin obeyed the order and stopped.

"Did you understand it now, Kirei? Or, you understood it a long time ago... It's just that you were afraid that I would threaten you with your father just now?"

Zhou Yi smiled softly, his hoarse and deep voice was no longer deliberately suppressed.

"...Berserker." Kirei was silent for a while, and asked in confirmation.

"Exactly. But my other name, I think you have nowhere to know."

Taunting softly, Zhou Yi glanced vaguely at where Assassin was at the moment, his eyes shining with scarlet light glowed under the hood.

"Kirei, I want to play a game with you."

With a hoarse and deep voice, Zhou Yi said softly.

Chapter 48 The Soul About to Awaken

Kotomine Kirei hurried northwards alone.

The commotion last night hadn't completely subsided yet. The propaganda vans with horns set up kept running back and forth, and Yuanzang Mountain was under martial law. From time to time, the vehicles of the TV station could still be seen roaring by.

In obvious contrast to the much denser traffic flow, the crowds on the street were much thinner.But even so, a tall priest in a black cassock walking on the road in a hurry made passers-by feel surprised.

Kirei, who was silently walking on the road opposite Tohsaka Prefecture, was also lost in thought, so he didn't notice the chaotic state of the street that hadn't recovered from the turmoil at all.

Before that, Berserker, who disguised himself as his Master to meet his father, left.But the few words he said before leaving made Kirei fall into deep thought——

"Kirei, you who have no sense of purpose and will not feel pleasure from anything...do you want to know the reason why you were chosen by the Holy Grail?"

Just an understatement made Kirei feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Then let's play a game."

Facing the bewildered Kirei, the black-red demon lightly uttered a condition that Kirei could not refuse: "No matter what method you use, find Emiya Kiritsugu before the sun goes down today. If you can do it If you do, I will get rid of Archer for you. If you don't trust me, you can also sign a self-enforcing certificate with my Master."

Self-enforcing affidavit——In the society of intriguing magicians, one of the most unselfish contract spells is used when making an agreement that must not be violated.

The compulsory curse imposed on him by using his own magic engraving machine, in principle, has the highest effect that cannot be removed by any means.Although Kirei had never seen the real thing, but Kirei, who had once acted as an agent, of course knew of its existence.

For the magician, the negotiation of handing over this certificate means a maximum and sincere concession.

Although this Berserker seemed to be able to have a normal conversation and speak quite fluent and rational words, in reality he was completely unable to communicate.He seems to be completely convinced that his will and decision-making will be carried out, and he acts completely as he pleases. As for the source of this confidence and obsession, he is completely unknown, and he has never considered the possibility of Kotomine Kirei's rejection at all... It's almost like Where did the devil or tyrant come from.

But under Berserker's coercion and lure, Kirei also acquiesced in this deal, and signed his name.

"Zhou Yi...?"

Kirei muttered, thinking of the name on the self-compulsory certificate, feeling a little more depressed.

What kind of guy would summon a guy with such a bad personality?He has been hiding, and why?

"Your Excellency the Magician...please think twice!"

Assassin hid his figure, and tried his best to persuade Kirei: "That guy is unreliable! He obviously wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, and he will definitely betray after the contract ends!"

Facing Assassin's loyal remonstrance, Kirei just remained silent.Without even turning his head, he walked steadily and tall on the long road extending to the outskirts of Xindu.

Then Assassin repeated it twice again, Kirei still didn't respond, but asked suddenly: "Assassin, what is your wish?"

"Me? What I want is to go down in history, to engrave my name on eternity... that's all."

"Is it famous in history..."

Kirei repeated Assassin's words in a low voice, slowly exhaled the irritability that had arisen in his chest at some point, and continued after a while: "You know, Assassin. I'm different from them, I don't have anything to rely on the Holy Grail wishes come true.”

Neither his father Risei nor his teacher could understand his abnormality.No one can understand Kirei's personality flaw deep in his heart.

That's right, even the only woman who was in love with each other was no exception——

At this moment, the only person who can listen to Kotomine Kirei's talk is the Assassin who exists in the world like a prop for seven days.

Of course he knew that his deal with Berserker at this moment was tantamount to betrayal to Tokiomi.Although he didn't completely oppose Tokiomi, at the moment when Tokiomi needed help the most, he took Assassin to Einzbern City, and removed the surveillance without Tokiomi's complete knowledge... This is undoubtedly So he helped Tokiomi's sworn enemy Matou Kariya.

What the hell am I doing?

Compared with Kirei's advancing feet, his mental exhaustion was more serious.
