gaze of war

The author has something to say: 1. Hunting on both sides at the same time.Because there is no Maiya, Kiritsugu has no way to predict this side in advance.But the mind suddenly feels restless.

2. Weber will come back for the old couple.He is such a kind kid.

3. Next, please be mentally prepared.

PS.some girl.

If you are still reading my article, I want to say that I don’t really care about what you said yesterday, and I really care about what you said casually.

Not only do I care, to be honest, it may be that the reader's position is different from the author's after all, even if I calm down today, I still feel very uncomfortable.

Because like I said, I revised the finalized thing more than ten times before and after, and I really want you to feel the sincerity.

And what you worry about, I really don't care.Writing can't please everyone, so I don't care about it from the first word I write.Even though I often talk about being depressed because of some comments, I am actually writing well and not being affected.

This article is the most thoughtful one I have ever written since it was written, and it is also of the highest quality. In any case, it is impossible for me to finish this article hastily.

Yesterday's words were impulsive, if you are still reading, please forgive me.

That's all for this.

No pretense is required.

Because, this is a formal declaration of war—

It lacks the high maneuverability and high concealment of assassin, but it has a high destructive power far exceeding that of assassin.Lacking the sanity and wisdom of ordinary heroic spirits, but possessing almost the same fighting power as the highest-ranking Saber—the only drawback is that it absorbs magic power like a devouring one, which will cause huge damage to the Commander himself.

Berserker——The black knight whose body burns with frantic blood is such a Heroic Spirit.

Hate everything!

Destroy everything!

Everything that stands in my way is destroyed!

The eyes under the armor shone with a ferocious blood-colored light.

Ominous black smoke lingers around the steel-clad body.

Opening his mouth, there is no human language, only a sharp roar piercing the void.

Give up thinking!

Give up hesitation!

Give up your life and soul!

Break in!

Shred it!

Devour everything!

The steel body ran over the silently crouching flowers and plants, and broke the quiet standing tree. The wailing of insects and birds was submerged in the crisp sound of steel collision.The black knight ignored anything that stood in his way, and with a berserk attitude, he quickly moved towards Einzbern Castle.

——No trace of rider and his lord was found.

Emiya Kiritsugu averted his eyes from behind the scope of the sniper rifle.

Located in the Miyama-cho area on the edge of Fuyuki City, there are a large number of old-fashioned houses. Most of the residents are older people, and they have lived here for more than ten years.The whole area presents a kind of leisurely and leisurely which is completely different from the fast pace of the urban area.

The old couple of Gulan Makeki are also one of the residents in this group.This old couple is not some powerful magician, just an ordinary old couple.However, the old couple's home was completely exposed to Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes - through the scope of the sniper rifle.The reason why they were targeted was entirely because of the residents in the old couple's home.

——that is, the target of Emiya Kiritsugu's trip, Weber Velvet and his servant rider.

Confirming again from the scope that the target has not returned, Emiya Kiritsugu leaned against the wall of the water tank next to him, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

Taking a sharp puff, the anesthetic smoke pouring into the mouth from the filter tip seeped into the nasal cavity along the trachea, giving Emiya Kiritsugu a slightly drunken feeling mixed with bitter taste and tingling.

Before that, he had ordered Saber to pretend to be a friend of Weber Velvet to inquire about the whereabouts of the old couple of Gulan Makeki about the rider and his master, but the information he got from the defenseless old woman was that the grandson and His friend—a burly man dressed strangely—had gone out together in the morning, and there was no news of his return.

Next, there is a long ambush.

Emiya Kiritsugu already knew all the information Saber extracted from the old woman's mouth.Other than that there is no useful information.

It seems that there is no other way but to wait here for the return of rider and Weber Velvet.

Hisau Maiya's death made Emiya Kiritsugu feel constrained everywhere.

There are many tasks that were originally planned for her to assist or guard the rear, but no one is now taking over.

For example, his wife, the underground warehouse where Irisviel was hiding, Emiya Kiritsugu could only use double-layer defensive barriers and traps to guard against the enemy's sneak attack.In order to avoid accidents, he has set up a real-time monitoring and feedback system inside the warehouse, so that he can call back at any time when an accident occurs.

As a husband, Emiya Kiritsugu must protect his wife.

But it is impossible for Emiya Kiritsugu, who is a contender for the Holy Grail, to spend his time protecting his wife.

kill.

exclude competitors.

Annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop before they are prepared.

This is what Emiya Kiritsugu, who is a magician killer, should do.

Taking another puff of the cigarette, feeling the slight pain passing through his nasal cavity, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly felt a burst of upset.

The heartbeat quickens, the blood flow speeds up, and the breathing becomes involuntarily rapid.

He took a deep breath, then clenched his teeth, bit down deep teeth marks on the filter, and spit out the half-burned cigarette.

Let's fight fast!

Feeling flustered by the inexplicable tension in his heart, Emiya Kiritsugu tensed his cheeks.

After ordering his heroic spirit to stop restraining his aura and try to radiate magic power around the Mackay's house, Emiya Kiritsugu readjusted his posture, fine-tuned the scope of the sniper rifle, and pointed it at the old couple of Mackay in the middle of the house.

A blond girl in a small black suit appeared in the scope.

She walked slowly, walked to the side of the room as if she was extremely reluctant, and raised her face in the direction of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Those green eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and the expression on his face was by no means an expression of approval.

But even so, she still followed Emiya Kiritsugu's order and came to the door of this innocent old couple.

Through the scope of the sniper rifle, Saber and Emiya Kiritsugu looked at each other.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked coldly.

Saber's expression was depressed.

After looking at each other for a while, the heroic spirits slowly lowered their heads, avoiding their gaze.

Emiya Kiritsugu watched quietly as she stretched her arms slowly, creating a whirlwind around her.The spiritual power was almost condensed into a tangible color, and a blue flame ignited beside him.

The surface of the land was lifted, the flowers and plants were torn off, like a huge lamp was lit in the night, all the heroic spirits and magicians felt the magic power of Saber at this moment.Of course it also includes Rider and Weber Velvet—but to them, the area where the magic power is located is more important to them than any other place.

According to what Emiya Kiritsugu learned about Weber Velvet, as an ordinary Clocktower student, he is innocent, kind, and possesses youthful courage. For this kind of attack caused by himself, it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch innocent people be hurt.

So...they're bound to come.

Continue to be a patient angler!

The bait has already penetrated into the iron hook and thrown into the water.The water flow will spread the scent, and then, just wait for the bait to bite.

He—no, perhaps it is more appropriate to refer to it with the inhuman "it"—was beating furiously on the door of the underground warehouse.

Kotomine Kirei, who was not far behind him, was excited by the beast-like posture of the heroic spirit in full-body black armor.Whether it is its howling like a □, or its twisted posture, it can make Kotomine Kirei feel "pain".

Berserker is the dancer.

A symbol of pain and destruction, the best dancer of the Furious Dance.

It frantically bombarded the gate of the underground warehouse, and every attack was like hitting a drum, making a loud bang.

The door shakes violently, denting downward, crumbling in this violent dance.

It let out a hoarse and distorted whine, and was twisted into a ball like a piece of cloth, and then after the last heavy blow, it broke away from the door frame that imprisoned it, and smashed heavily on the ground.

Light from outside shines through the wide open door into the basement warehouse.

The inside is still the same as Morrigan saw last time, and even the furnishings next to it have hardly changed.In the center of the room, in the center of the complex magic circle, a woman in a white dress with long silver hair was lying with her hands folded on her abdomen, her eyes closed.

"This is……"

Kotomine Kirei walked in from the door.

Stepping on the broken gravel and through the twisted door, the priest in black stood in the dark underground warehouse with his back against the light, squinting at the woman lying in the center of the magic circle.

Matou Kariya followed closely behind him.

"Is there really no problem with such a massive intrusion...?"

With such doubts in mind, Kariya Matou turned his gaze to Kotomine Kirei.

"Kariya-kun, there is no need to worry about this." Kotomine Kirei slightly tilted his head, smiled, and said softly, "The Holy Grail is close at hand. It is impossible for anyone to take it from us Go with it. It's ours already."

"...The current Holy Grail, the wish cannot be fulfilled, right?"

No matter how the news is blocked, Matou Kariya knows that the "real" time for the Holy Grail to appear must be when all contenders are fighting to the last person.

The woman in front of her... Even if she is the Holy Grail itself, but even the outer shell has not been broken, she is not the universal wishing machine they are fighting for at all.

"Yes. But... as long as we master her—" Kotomine Kirei nodded towards Matou Kariya, "Whether it's Emiya Kiritsugu or Tohsaka Tokiomi, all—"

All will be burned to ashes by the hidden heat of the flames like moths flapping their wings ignorantly towards the beautiful flame.

"We just need to take her away, and then just wait quietly."

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei had a smile on his face, but his eyes were chillingly cold.

——Almost identical to the eyes of Emiya Kiritsugu who hunted riders, killing eyes.

Kotomine Kirei turned to the woman lying in the center of the magic circle.

He watched her carefully, then slowly narrowed his eyes.

Her eyes were tightly shut, but her facial muscles were stiff.

Her sleeping posture looked normal, but her fingertips were trembling slightly.

"……what."

Are you afraid?

Trembling?

Are you trying to hide it?

Kotomine Kirei's heart welled up with great malice.Looking at this woman who was terrified by the enemy's intrusion, but could only pretend to be asleep to relax the enemy's vigilance, was like seeing a rabbit trembling when a poisonous snake invaded its nest.

He just let out a sneer, and then said nothing more, just staring at Irisviel.

Watching with malicious eyes.

Until her face turned pale, her lips began to tremble, and cold sweat flowed from her forehead.

Kotomine Kirei felt happy.

He enjoyed her fear, the feeling of great fear it gave her.

Kotomine Kirei walked to Irisviel's side, and bent down.

"...If you want to delay time and wait for your husband to come back to save you, crying is more effective than pretending to be asleep, Madam Emiya."

Alice Viel opened her eyes.

Seeing those beautiful red eyes staring at him angrily, Kotomine Kirei laughed.

cry.Crying hoarsely, crying until the corners of your eyes burst, blood oozes out, completely dyeing the pair of red gemstones into a perfect blood red—then use these eyes to watch me take the life of the man you care about!
