gaze of war

Because of Kenneth's timely change of plan, the lords and heroic spirits who gathered towards this place lost their targets one after another.

Generally speaking, unless the magic power is deliberately emitted to lure the target, when the heroic spirit converges the magic power, it cannot be tracked unless it comes within a certain distance.The best among them is Kotomine Kirei's Heroic Spirit Assassin.With their latent skills, even if they are hidden a few meters away, as long as they don't take action, they won't be noticed.

Whether it was heroic spirits, familiars, or assistants, they all dispersed after carefully checking the area.

This sudden accident had almost no impact on Fuyuki's Holy Grail War.

But the atmosphere became more and more treacherous.

On the eve of the imminent attack, a shocking news came - the murderous maniac in Fuyuki City committed another crime. The victim this time was an ordinary resident who was brutally murdered in his sleep. The scene was appalling.And the police were helpless.

Due to the criminal's unscientific way of committing the crime and the means of leaving no trace, the officials began to suspect that someone other than ordinary people committed the crime, so they turned to Fuyuki Church for help.After some investigation by the church, some clues were finally found, and based on this, the identity of the prisoner was determined.

——is a participant in the Holy Grail War, but his identity cannot be determined.

This directly affected the relationship between the church and the Magic Association, and it became tense.The church believes that the intervention of the Holy Grail War should be increased and unqualified participants should be excluded, while the association believes that the Holy Grail War cannot be manipulated by the church, which is a sacrament exclusive to magicians.

After preliminary emergency negotiations, the Church and the Magic Association unanimously decided that this participant who violated the qualifications and regulations of magicians and harmed ordinary people without scruples must be sanctioned. Considering that the strength of the spirits of the participants in the Holy Grail War is not comparable to that of ordinary magicians, the two sides It was jointly decided to take the command spell of the Holy Grail War as a prize, and call other participants to fight against this group of murderous demons.

The monitor of this Holy Grail War, Father Kotomine Risei of Fuyuki Church, father of Kotomine Kirei, once tried to gather his son and Tosaka Tokiomi to discuss countermeasures.But only Tosaka Tokiomi's familiar and Kotomine Kirei's assassin came in response to the summons.Tohsaka Tokiomi's rude attitude and Assassin's simple explanation on the matter made Kotomine Risama unbelievable.

Kotomine Kirei broke with Tosaka Tokiomi for reasons he couldn't articulate.

This is not good news for Kotomine Risei who is trying to control the Holy Grail War within a certain range.

After sending Tosaka Tokiomi's familiar away, Kotomine Risho asked Assassin to send a message to his son - ordering him to come to Fuyuki immediately in his dual capacity as the monitor of the Holy Grail War and Kotomine Kirei's father church.

"...Oh? That's right. Tohsaka Tokiomi only sent a familiar."

After hearing the message from the invisible assassin, Kotomine Kirei basically understood the reason for his father's summoning. "Helping Tosaka Tokiomi" is almost equivalent to "letting this war end peacefully without accidents" for his father.

But how is this possible?

Even without the existence of Goddess Badbo, just for Tohsaka Tokiomi's goal - any direct contact with the "root" will definitely affect the power of this world, there is no doubt about it.Compared with those desires to conquer the world or become the king of all, perhaps this is the truly deadly desire.

Father is old.He is a priest, not a magician.He doesn't know much about magic, he just hates everything that breaks rules and standards.

But if war can be controlled, it is not really war at all.

However, as a son, Kotomine Kirei should also respond to his father.

However, he will not go back and explain himself - because he has more important things to do.

"Tell my father, I will do it in my own way to eliminate heresy. Those who break the rules of secrecy will be punished by me—I swear by my name, Kotomine Kirei." Calmly expounding the battle declaration , Kotomine Kirei pinched the golden cross hanging on his chest, and put a kiss on his lips, his eyes were piercingly cold, "I will remove all threats and obstacles for the gods, I swear."

Assassin saluted and left.

Father Kotomine Risei, who received such a firm oath, felt a little relieved.Because this is what Kotomine Kirei should look like - an absolute devout, an absolute ascetic, an absolute judge, and an absolute executioner.So he no longer worried about his son's actions, but began to think about how to repair the broken relationship with Tohsaka.

Kotomine Kirei, who had dealt with his father and the church behind his father, put his hands behind his back and stared at the luxurious high-rise a few hundred meters away—that was the largest hotel in Fuyuki City, the Hyatt Hotel.It was also where Lancer's master and servant stopped.This is information from Assassin, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The reason why Kirei didn't do anything was not only because Assassin was not a suitable follower to be exposed in advance, but also because of the attitude of the god he cared about—there seemed to be some unknown connection between the goddess and lancer.Kirei would not ask the goddess, this is very rude behavior.If the goddess had a different attitude towards Lancer, then Kirei would change his plan accordingly.

Since the goddess didn't have any instructions on this, Kirei will act according to the original plan - confirm that the leader of the lancer group is Kenneth Elmeloy Archibald, whose magic workshop is located in Kai The upper floor of the Hyatt Hotel.Accompanied by Archibald's fiancée, a woman named Sola.

"Owner."

An assassin made a sound behind him.

"There is urgent information."

On the top floor of the building adjacent to the Hyatt Hotel, Assassin found a woman with short hair lying prone behind a sniper rifle. Since Assassin found her, she has been lurking here for more than an hour, almost without moving at all.

Her goal is the same as Kirei's, which is the upper level of the Hyatt Hotel.This woman does not have a red Command Seal on the back of her hand, and she is not a participant in the Holy Grail War.But her targeting of Archibald has made her position very clear.

She must have been an accomplice of one of the participants.

And this participant... probably is that disgraceful killer known as a magician, Emiya Kiritsugu.

A man without the dignity of a magician, a scum among magicians, a rebel who uses assassination methods and modern weapons to fight magicians to the death - all titles belong to Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kotomine Kirei used to be very interested in him, and even felt that Emiya Kiritsugu was the man who could help him find the meaning of life.

"Master, what is the next plan of action?"

Finding that the master was lost in thought, Assassin asked softly.

"Continue to reconnaissance. Don't act rashly until I give the next order." Kotomine Kirei said, "That man... Emiya Kiritsugu seems to have aimed at his prey. We just need to watch quietly, before he bites Just kill the prey in an instant by the neck."

"Understood." The female assassin with a long purple ponytail saluted and then disappeared.

Now that he has sent his assistants here to lurk and carry sniper firearms, he must have a complete plan. The effect of the surprise attack on Archipelod who is on the upper floor of the Hyatt Hotel, in addition to excluding all In addition to being a powerful opponent, he can also intimidate other participants—Emiya Kiritsugu is not a magician within the scope of common sense, as long as he wants to kill an enemy, he will do whatever it takes.

Those magicians... especially the magic family with a long history, will definitely be completely shocked by this terrorist's means.Even if he made a haughty gesture and reprimanded his low-level operation, it would definitely leave a shadow in his heart and be timid.

——And this is exactly the purpose of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Oh, you've come here too, Kirei."

With a hoarse voice without any emotion, the barefooted girl appeared in the void in front of Iwanine Kirei.

"Ah..." Kirei slightly opened his eyes wide, and then smiled, "You are here too."

The expression on the priest's face was kind to the point of horror.

"Well, yes. This city is quite unfamiliar to me. I want to see what the so-called 'future world' is like." Morrigan softened his attitude towards his devout followers.She stretched out her finger, and tapped lightly at the place where Lancer appeared just now, in the direction of Tohsaka's mansion, and at the Hyatt Hotel in front of her.

"So, what is your conclusion?"

The priest asked curiously.

"Calm," Morrigan said casually.With her palm facing down, she slowly opened her five fingers, and then quickly clenched them, "... so calm...to the point of being almost boring, Kirei. What a boring world."

The disappointed expression of the goddess fell into the eyes of the priest.

"...I see." Kotomine Kirei's expression changed immediately.His eyes narrowed slightly, showing a thoughtful expression, "So, what kind of grand scene do you want to see?"

"What I wish for is exactly what you expect, Kotomine Kirei."

Morrigan smiled at his followers.

She turned around with a bird-like posture, and her huge black wings extended magnificently from her shoulder blades.

"Kirei."

Kotomine Kirei held his breath.

"Let's liven up this peaceful city."

"...I understand." Kotomine Kirei couldn't help showing a wild smile.He even gasped involuntarily and let out a trembling laugh.He searched for the golden cross on his chest with trembling hands, and then kissed it with equally trembling lips, "Whether it is death like fireworks, war like a sonata, life scattered like petals, Or pain like mist, I will dedicate it all to you."

"I'll watch over you, Kotomine Kirei."

After leaving such words, Morrigan disappeared from the world that the priest could perceive, and even the assassin could not find her trace.

But Kotomine Kirei still looked at the place where she was standing full of emotion, feeling that his blood vessels were about to be punctured by the surging blood, and his heartbeat was so violent that his chest ached.Unexpectedly getting satisfaction and pleasure from these needle-like pains, he took a deep breath, and it seemed that even the air entering his lungs became sweet.

"...Then, let's start like this, the Holy Grail War I hope—"
