However, at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
In the darkness, the ringtone was particularly harsh. Emiya Kiritsugu took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and quickly frowned.
...A call from Einzbern Castle.
For some reason, he suddenly felt something was not right.
Taking the phone, Emiya Kiritsugu said in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
The person on the phone was the old butler of Einzbern Castle. His tone was filled with urgency: "Kiritsugu... hurry, come back soon!"
"Irisviel and Illya have been kidnapped!"
boom!
For a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu felt his brain buzzing, and for the first time, a hint of murderous intent... and panic appeared in his gray eyes.
This man has always claimed to be a partner of justice, and he has sacrificed too much for his lofty ideals.
Accepting the job to participate in the Holy Grail War was also to use the Holy Grail to make a wish and bring peace to the world.
However, even so, there are people he cannot let go of.
His wife...and daughter.
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly heard the girl's clear and pleasant voice coming from the phone.
But this voice sounded like a ghost returning from the underworld in his ears, making his scalp tingle.
"Hello? Can you hear me, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu?"
...Sajo Aika!!!
Chapter 115 Have you seen my heyday?
Einzbern Castle.
In the coastal city of Fuyuki, there is a territory belonging to the Einzbern family. Outside the territory is an impenetrable forest filled with magical barriers.
Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, the magic barrier will immediately sound the alarm.
And in the old town of Fuyuki, when the servants from all sides had just started the first night of the Holy Grail War, all the Masters noticed something.
——Saber is very strong, and his master is equally strong, even able to provide Saber with almost uninterrupted magic endurance.
If you want to defeat Saber, you must first defeat his Master... This is the common understanding of the masters of all parties participating in the Holy Grail War.
In preparation for the Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family hired a 'magician killer' named Emiya Kiritsugu, whose purpose was to bypass the servants and directly kill the enemy's master.
The first target they set their sights on was Saber's master, Aika Sajō.
The specially refined bullet passed through the sniper rifle and pierced through Aika Sajo's heart... Logically speaking, this plan should have been successful.
But now... this girl actually appeared in the Einzbern Castle like a ghost crawling out of the underworld?
At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly felt an indescribable chill and subconsciously clutched his phone.
"Saber's Master...why are you still alive?"
"Origin Bullet. The bullet will cause irreversible damage to the target. Even if the site of the bullet appears to have healed, the nerves and capillaries will not be able to regenerate. Most importantly... it will destroy the magic circuits of the magus."
Sajo Aika's joyful laughter echoed in the man's ears. "You can shatter a magician's magic circuits and destroy their magic power... No wonder you're called the Magician Killer."
"But... even if the Origin Bullet destroyed the Magic Circuit, it wouldn't do any harm to me. After all, I don't have any Magic Circuits."
The origin bullet will directly destroy the magic power of a magician when it hits that person... However, Aika Sajo was born with a connection to the root, and for her, magic power is something that is inexhaustible.
In the past, Emiya Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet, which had always been invincible against all the great magi, had 'deceived' him in this most crucial battle tonight.
The body lying in the snow now was indeed that of Aika Sajo, and the Origin Bullet had indeed pierced her heart... But for Aika Sajo, who had already become a 'beast', she would not die unless her magic power was completely destroyed.
Aika Sajo's [omniscience and omnipotence] allowed her to predict the future long before she killed Zouken Matou.
Her subsequent "death" was just to cover up the truth.
"...What exactly do you want to do?" Emiya Kiritsugu whispered.
Even when facing any powerful enemy, this man can remain calm and even face life and death calmly.
But even he has his weaknesses... Illya and Irisviel.
"I'm not planning on doing anything. I'm just going to return what you've done to me in another way."
Sha Tiao Aige stood at the entrance of the forest, looked up at the ancient castle in front of her, and said with a smile:
"Those holding guns must also be prepared to be shot... I assume you've been preparing accordingly since the first day of your participation in the Holy Grail War, right?"
Emiya Kiritsugu tried his best to remain calm: "Why would the Holy Grail War involve other people—"
"other people?"
Sajo Aika tilted her head and looked at the silver-haired beauty in front of her who was breathing slightly and struggling to keep herself from fainting.
"The master of the berserker shouldn't be considered anyone else, right?"
The moment Sajo Aika's clear and pleasant voice rang out, not only Emiya Kiritsugu, but also Irisviel, who was confronting her at the moment, widened her eyes and looked at the girl in disbelief.
"You...why do you know——"
"I can understand everything I want to know in this world, except Saber."
When Sajo Aika finished speaking, she couldn't help but close her eyes in ecstasy, clasping her hands in front of her chest, like a devout believer praying: "I never thought that Saber would choose me... So even if it's for him, I want to be with him forever."
"To do this, I need the Holy Grail War to continue forever and ever."
"After all, once the Holy Grail War is over, he will still leave me."
This girl possesses god-like power, but her emotions about herself are too pale. Although she has the ability to change the world, her inner world is very small.
It is so small that it can only accommodate one person.
So, between Morgan le Fay and Sajo Aika, when Alvin chose the latter... the girl made up her mind completely.
She wanted to be with him forever... To do that, she needed the 'Holy Grail'.
The girl's pure and elegant face is full of longing and yearning for love. An elegant and beautiful Gothic long dress sets off her temperament to the fullest. She has a cherry mouth, delicate skin, and a sweet smile on her face.
However, Lisviel's eyes were filled with fear and dread, and she subconsciously held her daughter in her arms.
It took less than two minutes for the girl who called herself Aika Sajo to go to Einzbern Castle and break all the magic barriers.
Within two minutes, she had to break all the magic barriers without anyone noticing, sneak into the Einzbern Castle, and then take her and Illya to the forest.
Is this really something a magician can do?
Even an assassin can't do it, right?
"It shouldn't just be the Master, right?"
At this moment, Sajo Aika's voice continued to ring out. She gazed at Irisviel in front of her and said softly, "Irisviel... She is not only the Master of the Holy Grail War, but she is also the 'core' of this Holy Grail War."
"Am I right, Miss Irisviel?"
The snow fell heavier and heavier, the sky became darker, and the blue eyes of Aika Sajou became particularly gloomy.
The forest was so quiet that there was not a sound at all. Irisviel subconsciously opened her mouth, but found that something seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Since the Einzbern family had no intention of strictly abiding by the rules of the Holy Grail War from the beginning... it shouldn't be a problem for me to cheat a little now, right?"
The magic behind Shajo Aige is like the rising tide of the sea. The golden flames gather in her palms, illuminating her beautiful profile.
"Saber's Master, you—"
Just as Emiya Kiritsugu was still trying to stall for time, Sajo Aika interrupted with a hint of impatience: "Even if I don't do it, you will still sacrifice your wife when the Holy Grail War is over."
"You are the kind of person who would sacrifice yourself for justice, even your loved ones, aren't you?"
"Partner of justice, Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu?"
Shatiao Aige hung up the phone.
As she looked up at Irisviel, the snow on the ground began to melt rapidly, turning into water that flowed across the ground, and then quickly evaporated into white steam.
The space seemed to be trembling slightly. In front of Irisviel, silver threads crisscrossed and formed a complex giant net blocking her and Sajo Aika, trying to prevent her from getting close.
However, the golden flames became more and more magnificent. At this moment, Shatiao Aige seemed to be between illusion and reality.
She did not get close to Irisviel, but her magic power slowly moved towards her with god-like majesty, just like a mountain pressing down on her.
Alice glanced at her daughter in her arms, gritted her teeth, raised her right hand, and the silver threads turned into countless 'giant eagles', which attacked Shajo Aiga like bullets.
But those silver threads disintegrated quietly before they even got close to Sajo Aika. She had intended to delay time, but it seemed that no matter how she struggled, it was in vain. Even her legs felt a little weak at this moment.
Logically speaking, she wouldn't feel this powerless even when facing a powerful magician.
But just when she was in front of this girl and felt her seemingly endless magic power, a thought popped up in Irisviel's mind: Is this really the magic power a magician should have?
The magic power behind Shajo Aige grew stronger and stronger, and the magic light slowly rose, until finally, it condensed into a vortex of magic, like a rising sun.
Irisviel stared in shock at the magnificent scene before her, which seemed like a re-enactment of a myth. Thoughts flashed through her mind, and then, her eyes froze for a moment as she murmured,
"The root of the disaster...?"
……
At the same time, on the rooftop on the other side.
When Alvin drew out the Holy Sword of the Star, the golden magic seemed to break through layers of dark clouds.
The divine light illuminated the entire dim rooftop as bright as day, and also illuminated Vortigern's pale face full of astonishment.
He subconsciously took a half step back, staring at the weapon in Alvin's hand.
The Holy Sword of the Stars is a sword that saves the stars and is as powerful as the Holy Lance.
It stands to reason that the only one who can fully unleash the power of the Holy Lance and the Holy Sword is King Arthur, the Red Dragon.
