gaze of war

"Insanity."

Facing Matou Kariya's furious swarm of insects, Tohsaka Tokiomi just twitched the corner of his mouth and lightly grasped the handle of his staff.

The heat in the magic circle exploded violently in an instant.Like the clouds in the evening sky reflected by the rays of the sun, the flames gathered together and burned towards Kariya Matou's swarm of insects.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's blue eyes were reflected in amethyst color by the flame.

The swarm screamed in pain, and the originally neat army formation instantly became a mess.Wherever the flames passed, charred residues kept falling on the ground.The insect swarm, which tried to retreat due to an instinctive tendency, rushed in the direction of Tohsaka Tokiomi under the impact of magic power, and was burned to dregs by the flames.

However, Matou Kariya acted as if he didn't see it, he didn't show the slightest panic, nor did he show any anger because of it.He just stared at Tosaka Tokiomi with hatred in those eyes like a ghost, let his flesh and blood be swallowed by the engraved worms, and continued to fight the archer far above the sky at the cost of his life The berserker and these magic bugs flying in front of and beside him conveyed a lot of magic power.

"……madness."

Apart from arrogance, Tohsaka Tokiomi once again made such an assertion to Matou Kariya.As an experienced senior magician, Tohsaka Tokiomi could easily see Matou Kariya's current state.Even if Tohsaka Tokiomi himself didn't attack him, this man would die suddenly due to the simultaneous depletion of mana and vitality.

Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at him coldly.

As a result, he couldn't even make a slightly more effective attack.

Based on this, you dare to say that you want to kill me?

Such thoughts flashed through Tohsaka Tokiomi's mind.

It's really overpowering-it's like a moth to a flame.

Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed slightly, almost sympathizing with him.

Matou Kariya used to have an obvious envy for Tohsaka Tokiomi.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's demeanor, appearance, family background, ability, and his wife's love for him - there is nothing that Matou Kariya is not envious of.

Tohsaka Tokiomi has it all.

But he... didn't cherish it.

Aoi... Sakura... Rin...

It's this man.

A magus named Tohsaka Tokiomi.

He regards the dream that Kariya Matou couldn't ask for as nothing, and self-servingly sacrifices all the happiness of the people that Kariya Matou cares about, just selfishly to achieve his stupid and paranoid goal.

Conspired with that dirty old monster to completely destroy the fate of that pure child, turning her beautiful and clean eyes into a corpse-like chaos.

Matou Kariya laughed crazily in a low voice.

It's really... an eyesore...!

After doing such a thing to them, he dared to say that this was the best ending for them—Tohsaka Tokiomi!

Sure enough... I must... kill you! !

After the fire magic quickly burned all the magic bugs, Tohsaka Tokiomi held the ruby ​​on the top of the staff and began to chant the spell in a tone full of rhythm and rhythm.

What he chanted was German.

——The pair of blue eyes inherited from his mother of German descent are shining brightly, as hard and cold as ice.The corners of his lips were also tightly clenched, and the awe-inspiring killing intent was extremely clear on his face.

"Intensive einscherung—"

The pronunciation, which is so different from Japanese, is full of ancient mystery.

And the power contained in these two words is stronger than the original meaning.

——Enhanced cremation!

The original cloud of flames was just the basic use of flame magic, but now is the beginning of Tohsaka Tokiomi showing his strength in flame magic.

The escaping flame paused abruptly, then gathered towards the center, continuously compressed to the limit, and turned into a magma-like flame snake, swiftly biting towards Kariya Matou.

The fangs of the flame bit the lapel of Matou Kariya's clothes.

Jiantong Yanye seemed unaware.

He covered his mouth, coughing and panting uncontrollably, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his face was pale.But even though it was already in such pain, he still stared at Tohsaka Tokiomi closely, staring at him for a moment.

Just staring at Tohsaka Tokiomi so directly and with hatred, even though the flaming snake had wrapped around his neck, burning his skin into terrifying blood bubbles, which sizzled and burned out. Burnt smell.

The flames burst into deathly flames all over his body.

Even though the flames were burning all over his body, Matou Kariya only panted violently, trembling his body, and his eyes never moved away from Tosaka Tokiomi's face.

Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at him calmly.

He quietly watched Matou Kariya walking towards death.

Matou is about to disappear like this——he felt vaguely sorry.

Obviously... the brilliant family created by that man, but encountered such a predicament in the last generation - the eldest son has no talent, and the second son is not only mediocre but also extremely disgusted with magic.

Matou, who was the founding member of the Yusan family, is probably about to disappear.

"—That's not okay."

The calm to cold male voice suddenly inserted into the end of this battle.

The sound of silk tearing resounded from Matou Kariya's body.

His jacket ripped apart from the shoulder blades, and the burning flames attached to the clothes fell to the ground along with the cloth.

As the clothes fell off, Matou Kariya's whole picture was revealed in the morning light.

His hair was as gray as an old man's.

There was no blood on the whole face, but dead ashes like a corpse.

His lips were chapped and whitish, and his neck and cheeks were covered with flame-scorched blisters, red and purple with black edges, making him look sickly.

In addition, the skin all over his body burst open.Countless tiny drops of blood gushed out of his mouth, dyeing his entire body red.It seemed that he could no longer bear Berserker's demand for his magic power, and his body had already begun to collapse.

It looked almost like a corpse—except for the eye.

What was burning in that eye was the dark hatred like Shura's ghost, and the fire of hatred that was more violent than his flame.

The sharp blade cut through the air and made a sharp whistling sound, and a cold light flashed in front of Matou Kariya's eyes - the flame snake was cut off.The first half of the snake's body, which had lost its magic power supply, turned into a pure flame and disappeared into the air before falling to the ground.

Tohsaka Tokiomi did not increase the output of magic power in an attempt to repair the Flame Serpent.

His attention has been completely attracted by the man standing beside Kariya Matou.

Short brown hair, a silhouette as hard as a mountain peak, brown eyes as dark as a swamp, a black uniform and a golden cross hanging on the chest——

"...Kotomine Kirei...!!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi squeezed out the name of the unexpected guest through his teeth.

His cold blue eyes burned.

This betrayer... dared to appear in front of him!

"teacher."

Kotomine Kirei smiled and answered calmly.

Standing beside Matou Kariya with a natural attitude, holding six black keys between his fingers, it was these sharp blades that saved Matou Kariya's life.

Even though he was doing something treacherous, he still dared to call himself a teacher...!

Tohsaka Tokiomi was so angry that he could hardly speak.

He frowned tightly, trying to suppress himself, but he couldn't stop himself from exhaling more and more quickly due to anger.

If he hadn't received a good aristocratic education since he was a child and had a very high degree of restraint on himself, he might have cursed angrily on the spot.

This man was once his chosen disciple and assistant, and he was chosen as his hidden trump card. However, when he was confidently laying out the layout, he deceived and betrayed him silently, and he has not even made a sound until now. Know the reason for his betrayal...!

Tohsaka Tokiomi felt ashamed.

Incomparable, unbearable shame.

He pursed his lips tightly, his teeth clenched tightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched unhappily.Forcibly suppressing his anger, Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at him and Matou Kariya who was beside him gloomily, and suddenly sneered.

"—So, this is the new ally you found, isn't it, Kirei?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi did not hide his contempt for intentionally calling his former disciple with such an affectionate title.

Kotomine Kirei, the representative of the church who knew nothing about magicians, and Kariya Matou, who was disgraced by the way of magic, were simply fools who could not understand the true noble meaning of this war.Even if they were united, none of them could match Tohsaka Tokiomi in magic.

Kotomine Kirei didn't answer him right away.

He turned his gaze to Matou Kariya who was panting and laughing lowly, and found that he was still staring straight at Tohsaka Tokiomi as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit. New wounds keep popping up.

Time is running out.

Kotomine Kirei immediately sensed this fact.

He raised his head and looked at the distant sky, and when he was looking at the sky, there was the sound of bomb explosions from above, and a fighter jet chased a brilliant boat through the thick clouds, tumbling to the other side. Fly away.

Kotomine Kirei narrowed his eyes.

Could that Tohsaka Tokiomi, the King of Heroes who was absolutely certain that he would be able to win the final victory, be forced into a Heroic Spirit who was at a disadvantage...?

——Matou Kariya still has uses.

In the battle against Archer, Berserker showed a combat power that Kotomine Kirei had never expected, which made Kotomine Kirei immediately decide to save Matou Kariya.

He took a few steps forward, blocking Matou Kariya behind him.

"Kariya-kun. If you still want to achieve revenge... then back off." Kotomine Kirei said.

Brown eyes meet blue eyes.

One pair is ruthless, and the other is raging with anger.

Tohsaka Tokiomi laughed back in anger.

Even in such an angry situation, his smile and posture are still elegant and reserved.

"Come on, Kirei. Let me see the power of the church representative...!"
