Tribute to the Demon King

With a cigarette in his mouth, Kiritsugu took out the mobile phone in his pocket to contact Maiya as if nothing had happened.

Nowadays, mobile phones are quite popular among the people, which gives Kiritsugu quite a lot of convenience.Even if you don't use magic, you can easily communicate with anyone, and even if you use it in public, you won't arouse anyone's suspicion.

He was walking in the neon-shining night of the new metropolis at the moment, and the old-fashioned coat he was wearing did not match the current era, causing passers-by to cast him surprised and contemptuous glances from time to time.

A down-and-out and ordinary middle-aged uncle.Anyone can have this illusion.

——However, that was just an illusion.

If they met Kiritsugu's four eyes, they would probably be paralyzed by the abyss-like cold and dim gaze.If the previous Kiritsugu was a poisonous blade hidden in a sheath, then he is now a gun loaded with bullets, disarmed and loaded.

"There is nothing abnormal about the target, and the magic dress is being arranged."

On the other end of the mobile phone, Maiya's answer came immediately.

It is located in a high-rise building that is still under construction diagonally opposite the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel.If you use a telescope there, you can clearly see the room where Kenneth is.

There is no doubt that Kenneth must have used the technique of blocking detection magic.Just like those cautious magicians that Kiritsugu hunted and killed before.

However, because of this, they who thought they were safe and sound would relax and ignore physical means.

In the same way, Kenneth will definitely arrange various defensive magic barriers around him.If he broke into the opponent's home field directly, he would undoubtedly be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap.

Bullets can't go in, and I can't go directly to assassinate at close range.But this does not mean that Kiritsugu has no means to deal with the opponent.

- Directional blasting.The technology of destroying the load-bearing walls and key pillars in a specified order and in a specific direction, so that the debris is thrown and piled up towards the center of the orientation, and the building is pressed inward due to its own weight - Kiritsugu has a very unique technique for this kind of explosion art experience.

As long as the architectural design drawings are obtained in advance, and the amount of medicine used and the size, quantity and location of the directional windows are calculated, the actual operation will only take about an hour even if Emiya Kiritsugu does it by himself.

"Sir, we don't allow smoking here. Do you have an appointment?"

Seeing a Japanese man wearing an old-fashioned coat walk in through the gate, the front desk of the hotel hurried over to block Kiritsugu, scanning Kiritsugu up and down with suspicious eyes: "And sir, what's in here."

"You're mistaken, I'm not smoking. There's nothing in it."

Kiritsugu snuffed out the cigarette conveniently, threw it on the ground and replied casually.

...You? Think I'm blind?

The angry front desk clerk was about to scold Kiritsugu, but was instantly attracted by his gaze.

Those eyes, which were as deep as an abyss, had an indescribably strange gravitational force. The front desk clerk couldn't escape his gaze, and even his brain was paralyzed, and he couldn't even speak.

"...Sorry, sir. I was wrong."

The waiter lowered his head as if obsessed: "Then, your appointment..."

"I'm Mori from 1302. I just left the gate half an hour ago! Did you forget it so soon, you bastard!"

Kiritsugu turned back and glared at the hotel receptionist aggressively, and yelled loudly in a resonant voice.And the front office accepted that statement without any skepticism.

"...Is that so. Ah yes, yes, it is indeed so."

The waiter backed away with a look of embarrassment.Kiritsugu shrugged, and the moment he turned his head away, his face became expressionless again.

Although Kiritsugu's hint magic level is average, for ordinary people who don't have the right magic power, it won't be seen through in a short time.But after a while, that person will also be buried with the hotel.

As long as you get the Holy Grail, you can save the world.Kenneth was the one he had to exclude in order to win the Holy Grail.

The guests of the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel, together with the staff, are probably more than a thousand people, and the number of people that the Holy Grail can save is at least 50 billion.

Kiritsugu thought about setting fire to the ground floor, causing commotion to evacuate innocent tenants from the hotel, and then blasting.But this kind of weak vacillation was directly suppressed by Kiritsugu at this moment.

"...What a deadly romance."

Whispering self-deprecatingly, Kiritsugu lit a cigarette again.

The current self has degenerated too much compared to eight years ago.If this continues, it will be too difficult to win without the assistance of Servants.

As for Archer, he can do whatever he wants.Kiritsugu still has the last Command Seal in his hand, if Archer has any ideas, just let him commit suicide.

That kind of idiot who pursued childish ideals and never doubted until his death, Kiritsugu didn't want to get in touch with him at all, and he didn't even want to know what his wish for the Holy Grail was.It is enough to use him until he is broken.

But the next moment, a huge explosion suddenly came from outside the hotel.The crashing gravel and broken glass hit the ground, causing passers-by to exclaim. Everyone in the hotel looked over at the same time, and their eyes were instantly tainted with fear.

After a very short silence, accompanied by shouting, cursing, screaming, and crying—panic exploded in the crowd in an instant.

"What's wrong? What happened!"

Kiritsugu immediately threw away the cigarette he had just smoked, and asked Maiya loudly while covering the intercom with his hand.His voice was almost drowned in the chaos of the hotel.

"—It's Archer!"

Maiya informed Kiritsugu through the intercom: "Archer launched an attack on the target outside the line of sight just now! Now the outer wall and windows have been damaged, and chain explosions have occurred due to unknown reasons, and the status of the target is unknown—"

Under her watchful eyes, no one knew what chain reaction Archer's attack had triggered, three groups of huge flames exploded on the 32nd floor of the hotel!

Flames shining with blue light powder floated in the air.The fireball directly blasted the top floor upwards, and large pieces of rubble and bricks fell outward.

When the light mist dissipated, Maiya's pupils instantly shrank to the limit.

Among the rubble, a silver sphere with a diameter of three meters and shining with blue light was seen sitting there safely.

There is no trace of damage on the surface of this silver sphere, reflecting a dazzling luster like a mirror.It looks like a work of art that has just been polished, completely different from the painting style of the surrounding ruins.

The mercury ball slowly descended in Maiya's eyes, revealing the intact Kenneth inside.He seemed to have anticipated this attack, and there was no panic on his face, just looking around with angry eyes.

"—The target person is unscathed!"
