Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

【Visible betrayal can be known, but what is truly terrifying is the invisible betrayal——】

……

……

"Maiya, how is the situation over there?"

Among the crowd below the Fuyuki Hotel, Emiya Kiritsugu was observing the changes in the flow of people while using a communicator to contact his assistant.

This call of the church will inevitably leave other magicians' workshops empty, and this is why he A great opportunity to strike.

For him, the magician who owns the magic workshop is the greatest threat.

The content of the meeting just now has been completely transmitted to his ears through the communicator on Saber, which confirmed it to him ( Lancer, Rider and Caster have already formed an alliance, and there is no possibility of becoming companions, so...it is time for him to take action. The reason

Amakusa Shiro came to him that night was about this plan, although the purpose of summoning the Master was. He does have the intention to win over his companions, but he also has the intention to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

In fact, he has already roped in the companions he should recruit at the beginning. The remaining people are just additions at best. If he can win over them without fighting, of course. Best, if they refuse, they must be eliminated.

This is the plan that Amakusa Shiro and Emiya Kiritsugu have discussed.

One is responsible for attracting and attracting attention, and the other is responsible for stealing.

"The target is ready and it is confirmed that there is no threat"

"If successful, three groups of Master's strongholds can be eliminated at once.……"

This temptation is very big for him

"Then take action"

"learn."

Emiya Kiritsugu stubbed out the cigarette butts in his hands and hung up the phone.

Last night,

Amakusa Shiro came to the door specially, invited himself to join his camp, and told him that he could fulfill his wish, a true meaning

This method can eliminate the root cause of the war and achieve human relief.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu does not trust Amakusa Shiro, the temptation he proposes is difficult to refuse, and he will never let anyone go. A possibility to redeem mankind.

Although he was still very afraid of Amakusa Shiro, he still decided to form an alliance with this guy because whether it was true or not, at least Amakusa Shiro's plan would be beneficial to him if he acted on it. If he continues, he hopes to realize his wish and weaken the power of other contestants. Of course, he has no reason to refuse.

After all, there are too many strong men in this Holy Grail War. He and Saber recognized each other in the first night of battle. Having figured out his position,

Emiya Kiritsugu was now completely disappointed with the strength of the legendary King Arthur he had summoned. He was first suppressed by Finn, and then suppressed by Gilgamesh, and whether he could even win. The famous Conqueror Iskandar is unknown, and the Black Knight who appeared last is obviously not a gas-saving lamp.

It can be said that among the Servants currently appearing, except for Caster who he has never seen and the hidden Assassin. , the servant he summoned has no confidence to defeat any of the other four knights.

How can he entrust his ideals to her when he is in such a situation? If he puts all his hopes on Saber, the final defeat is absolutely inevitable..

Fortunately, the Holy Grail War does not necessarily require the elimination of other Servants to be victorious. As long as their Master can be eliminated, other Servants will defeat him without attacking.

Although this behavior is very disgraceful, even Saber is disgusted with this behavior. He didn't care, as long as he could win, as long as he could realize his ideal, he could easily give up his life, so what was a mere shame?

So in despair, Emiya Kiritsugu once again transferred hope to himself, even this time. He didn't even tell Saber about his plan to raid the magic workshop with Maiya.

In his opinion, a Servant should just do his job and be a familiar and obey orders honestly. There was no need for a Master yet. Report to her.

So after monitoring the news from Amakusa Shiro, Emiya Kiritsugu and his assistants have installed many explosives on the central third floor of the hotel and are ready to blast them. Press the switch in your hand, and the entire center of the hotel and its connections will detonate, destroying most of the Hyatt Hotel in one fell swoop.

With Kenneth's unabashed magic workshop aura, even Emiya will be at risk. Even if Kiritsugu is not an orthodox magician, he can feel how terrifying it is that the entire top floor of the hotel has been transformed into the position of Kenneth's magic workshop.

As long as he dares to break in, Kenneth on the other side will definitely notice it immediately and remotely. Manipulate the magic in the magic workshop and tear him into pieces. Even if Saber breaks in forcefully, it will never be easy.

But after all, it is just a defense mode on the level of magic, and it does not have much effect on him. Although he cannot openly challenge the level of magic and enter the magic workshop, he can break through from another angle, physics. According to the structure of the building, as long as he blows up all the floors below the center, the magic workshop above, no matter how excellent it is, will collapse in the face of Newton.

Now, as long as Kenneth and the others enter the building, they can detonate it directly. By then, Kenneth, Xia Yuan, and Weber, who have no means of defense, will be killed in a sea of fire in an instant.

"Maiya, how is the evacuation work going?"

"It's done, there's no one in the building anymore"

"That's good."

In order not to involve too many innocent ordinary people in this operation, Emiya Kiritsugu used suggestion magic to notify the front desk in advance that the news of the Fuyuki Hotel being attacked by terrorists was spread tonight, and the personnel were evacuated in advance. Now The hotel was completely empty, completely transformed into a trap waiting for prey.

Standing on the roof and continuing to wait, Emiya Kiritsugu rubbed the detonator in his hand.

In the distance, a green figure loomed in the night sky. Stare straight at this place and then leave

……

……

Cool night, peaceful night.

Caught off guard, I just heard"boom"——"A loud noise broke the silence.

With the heat wave rising all over the sky, the calm night suddenly turned into a sea of fire, igniting the dancing sparks in this calm night.

The majestic building made of layers of reinforced concrete was instantly shattered and collapsed during the impact. Fragile glass fragments also poured down like a goddess scattering flowers. Countless cement blocks and building debris suddenly fell into pieces. bury this place

"It really exploded!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Screams and exclamations spread throughout the night sky.

The crowd broke out into a huge panic, panic, footsteps, and all kinds of chaotic movements constituted this painful symphony.

Emiya Kiritsugu was like another Like a person from this world, he walked against the crowd on the road, silently looking at the buildings that had been turned into ruins with his lusterless eyes, he blew out a smoke ring, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his feet. He dialed the communicator:"Maiya, how is the situation?"

"The target did not escape from the building and was confirmed to be buried."

"Really, they were hit head-on by the impact of a building falling at a high speed of 100 meters. Even if the Servants could escape through the spirit transformation, there was absolutely no way to protect their Master. In addition, facing the lethality of the explosion... they all died. Dropped it……"

Thinking that he had successfully eliminated three groups of enemies, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at the ruins indifferently, then turned around and left.

"Keep monitoring and don't miss a thing."

Suddenly Maiya on the other side of the communicator shouted:"The situation is not right, Kiritsugu, the target has appeared again.——"

"What?"

Maiya's voice shocked Emiya Kiritsugu.

Could he still escape in this situation?

"who is it?! How many goals are there?"

"It was Rider. His mount seemed to be carrying two people, and there was no sign of Lancer."

"Got it, please continue to monitor this place, look for any traces of Lancer, and contact me at any time."

After giving the instructions, Emiya Kiritsugu sighed deeply and looked at the trajectory of thunder in the sky where Kamui's wheels ran over,"It's possible to escape from death in this situation. Isn't it really that simple?……"

And it is worthy of being the most maneuverable Rider class. With this flying speed and altitude, there is no way to pursue them. I can only watch them leave.

……

……

Divine on wheels.

Iskandar, who was carrying Weber with one hand and driving the chariot with the other, looked anxiously at the two Masters in front of him who were seriously injured by the explosion.

"how's it going? Boys, can you still hold on?"

If they hadn't retreated in time and were still protected by the defensive magic ritual that Kenneth had made before, that one blow just now would have been enough to kill these two Masters.

"what is going on? The hotel was actually tampered with?!"Iskandar was very angry.

At this time, Xia Yuan, who was using magic to heal himself and barely managed to stop himself from being burned, opened his eyes in confusion.

When they returned to the hotel to discuss the next action, an accident happened.

When they entered the lobby, Xia Yuan found that there was no one in front of the service desk, and the whole building was eerily quiet. All the residents who had been wandering around disappeared, which suddenly made something bad come to his mind. Thoughts.

So he hurriedly called to Kenneth, and Weber and the others quickly retreated. However, even if he noticed it at the first time, it was still too late. The fire had penetrated their field of vision the moment they started to retreat.

Iskandar acted fast enough and directly summoned the Divine Wheel to take away Xia Yuan and Weber. In the end, they were inevitably blown away by the explosion.

If the shock wave caused by the explosive equivalent was not offset by the ritual, it would have been impossible. Now the two of them can go to heaven.

Holding his body, Xia Yuan felt burning pain all over his body, and his eyes were injured and it was difficult to open them again. If the cold wind at high altitude hadn't woken him up, he would have collapsed by now. Weber over there is in a state

"What's the matter? Why is the stronghold being tampered with? As for the count... it doesn't make sense for him to be here……"

Unless... bad thoughts arise in Xia Yuan's mind

"By the way, Rider, where are Mr. Kenneth and the others? Did he escape just now?"

"I don’t know. The situation just now was too urgent, and I could only take you two out. However, your teacher is not ordinary, and there is Lancer protecting you, so there should be no problem. Boy, don't say anything yet. I will take you to the hospital for treatment."

Iskandar shook his head, and then drove the divine wheel towards the hospital.

"No, we can't go to the hospital... Emiya Kiritsugu must be waiting there.……"Xia Yuan hurriedly stopped

"Emiya Kiritsugu? Do you know who the murderer is?"

"Pretty much. After all, the only guy who can do such crazy things in this Holy Grail War is that magician scum."

"He was taking advantage of us to go to the church to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Moreover, that guy Amakusa Shiro had already guessed that we would not join his camp, so he cooperated with Emiya Kiritsugu to ambush us in advance, hoping to kill us. Catch them all in one go and get rid of the biggest enemy, hiss……"

Feeling the burning pain in his body, Xia Yuan frowned.

Although he is in urgent need of treatment, he has been separated from Kenneth. Counting his two wounded, there is no way to fight other enemies. If Emiya Kiritsugu knew that he was still alive, he would definitely take this opportunity to set up a plan in advance. Lay an ambush and catch them all in one fell swoop.

There is no problem if he has to move his base to heal his injuries now, but he must not go to the hospital, as that will only play into Emiya Kiritsugu's hands.

But what about the count? He had obviously taken precautions against the possibility of Emiya Kiritsugu stealing the house, so how could something like this happen again? Why did Emiya Kiritsugu still succeed in blowing up the hotel?

"Then I will take you to a safe place."

"Wait first."

Xia Yuan stopped Iskandar, enduring the severe pain and stretching out his left hand that was burnt black by the explosion.

"Rider came over and checked for me. Is the command spell on the back of my hand still there?"
