Tribute to the Demon King

She didn't answer Kirei's question, but just stared at Kirei full of hatred.

Then, under Kirei's watchful eyes, Irisviel struggled to raise her right arm, raised her fist that couldn't be clenched tightly, and slammed it on Kirei's face.

For Kirei, it was a weak fist that couldn't even make him tilt his head.But this is about the strength of her whole body now.

"...Never, let you see Kiritsugu."

There was such a painful whisper in her throat.I couldn't even stand up, the pain was so bad that I couldn't even clenched my fists, and my teeth were shaking.But even so, her eyes that seemed to be burning with blood still stared at Kirei unwaveringly.

"..."

Kirei silently clenched his right hand again.Irisviel's neck made a crunching sound, even though her breathing was suppressed and her body twitched in pain, her expression showed no fear.

If that's the case, there's nothing incredible about it.If it's just a doll, of course there is no fear of death or pain.

But her bright red pupils, which seemed to be overflowing with blood, were full of pain and hatred.

Coughing up blood, she clenched her fists and swung them with all her strength.This time due to lack of oxygen, he waved in the wrong direction, and passed by Kirei's ear.

This almost boiling emotion made Kirei confused.

He could confirm that there was no doubt that it was genuine hatred.That killing intent was definitely not born out of some kind of obligation, but a genuine hatred of Kotomine Kirei who had never masked his face.

However, Kotomine Kirei just wanted to wait for him in Emiya Kiritsugu's workshop.This can be seen from the fact that he deliberately triggered various enchantments and destroyed various traps to expose his whereabouts along the way. He has absolutely no intention of sneak attack, and his goal is only to enter the workshop.

If it is for Einzbern's victory, using the barrier to delay Kotomine Kirei's actions, then escape to join Emiya Kiritsugu and then turn around to fight back against himself is the right choice.But this cyborg didn't adopt such a steady tactic, and didn't even have the idea of ​​escaping. Instead, he chose the most risky and stupid tactic.

She just said that she would never let herself see Kiritsugu... What does that mean?

For this purpose, even at the expense of his own life.Only under the premise that she fully affirms and understands Emiya Kiritsugu can such a foolish act of voluntary sacrifice be possible.

"No... not right."

A moan-like moan came out of Kirei's throat, and the tighter and tighter right hand subconsciously relaxed, and Irisviel, who had completely lost consciousness, fell to the ground.

He shook his head again and again, denying his speculation just now.

Because isn't that saying—the character of Emiya Kiritsugu is an existence that is affirmed and understood by others?

"impossible……"

That is an absolutely impossible contradiction.It is simply the possibility of completely overturning all Kotomine Kirei's expectations of Kiritsugu.

That guy should be a lost person who can't find the meaning of life just like himself.He's supposed to be the guy who's been chasing his whole life and never found a reason to fight.

That's why Kirei was looking forward to meeting Emiya Kiritsugu.He firmly believed that in Emiya Kiritsugu's way of life, there should be the answer he was looking for.

"...Assassin, put her on your back."

Looking down quietly at the unconscious Irisviel, Kotomine Kirei made up his mind.

—take her away.

If she was really an irreplaceable and important chess piece for Emiya Kiritsugu, that guy should come looking for her.

Kirei silently pulled out the black key that had penetrated Irisviel's left arm, and stuck it on the pool of blood on the ground.

It should be enough if this level of prompting is achieved.

...I haven't watched it for a while, what happened?

Tosaka Tokiomi felt the magic power in his body almost drained, panting with lingering fear.

Just after contacting Kotomine Rizheng, and Tokiomi just returned to the basement, the magic power in his body suddenly opened and flowed away like water.

After only ten seconds, the magic power in his body was almost exhausted.

Quickly switching the viewing angle to Lancer's side, he happened to see the huge spiral of flames that covered half of the sky hit Lancer straight down.

That scene from the first perspective is too visually impactful.Tohsaka Tokiomi subconsciously used the second Command Seal to recall Karna.

But just when Tokiomi just came back to his senses and was heartbroken for his waste, after the brief white light passed, a terrifying shock wave roared towards him with sweeping momentum.The windows of Tohsaka Mansion shattered suddenly, the glass handicrafts were instantly covered with cracks and shattered, and the tableware trembled violently, as if a strong earthquake had happened around.

Even at home, Tohsaka Tokiomi still felt that the air had become dry and hot.Broken burning sawdust flew in from the window, clanging and hitting the wall of the hall full of famous paintings.

Tohsaka Tokiomi felt a moment of fear, and then rejoiced.

...Fortunately, I just called Karna back.Otherwise, for Karna who does not have the support of magic power, he might not be able to let go of this level of attack.

Afterwards, Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache.

Although he knew that Lancer consumed a lot of mana, he didn't expect it to be so big...

If it's this level of consumption...what about the duel with Kenneth at night?

It's just that Tokiomi didn't know that something happened to Kenneth at this time.
