Kiritsugu Emiya's actions were likely for the safety of all humanity, and he killed all those who dared to provoke him.

Why didn't he just kill that isolated species for the safety of everyone in the world? Because he didn't have that ability, so he simply ruled that option out.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of ability.

"Me? I'm going to establish a new order, planned according to boundaries. I'll start with Fuyuki City."

"..."

Kiritsugu Emiya didn't quite understand, but he at least knew that the other party probably didn't have any intention of destroying the world. It was just that Fuyuki City might become completely different.

But it doesn't matter; compared to the rest of the world, Fuyuki City is something that can be sacrificed.

He made the following judgment based on his method of human comparison.

“Saber, if you want to follow him, then follow him. I won’t stop you.”

Kiritsugu Emiya said this.

This was one of the few times he had a direct conversation with Artoria; they rarely interacted.

“Kiritsugu…” Artoria frowned deeply.

She had a strange feeling that Kiritsugu Emiya had sacrificed her as a pawn to protect something.

And that was indeed the case. In order to temporarily appease Du Can, Kiritsugu Emiya readily agreed to his request.

Although in principle, he agreed to Artoria's request, in reality, he wanted to sacrifice Artoria to satisfy Du Can's demands.

Even if Artoria doesn't actually agree, he might still do it.

"It's good that you think that way. But could you please go and die first?"

Du Can shot a laser beam from his finger, piercing directly through Kiritsugu Emiya's heart.

Chapter 103: Dead and Back to Life

Du Can killed Emiya Kiritsugu.

It wasn't simply that I disliked him and wanted to kill him. While that was a small part of it, I wanted to teach him a serious lesson.

His main goal was to break the contract between him and Artoria.

It is very difficult to break the contract between a Servant and their Master, as it is a causal connection that can only be severed by using a Noble Phantasm that can sever a magical contract.

Otherwise, the contract will only disappear after either party dies.

If Du Can doesn't want Artoria to die, then the only option is for Emiya Kiritsugu to die.

"Kiritsugu!"

"Ye Fan... no! Lord Du Can! Why did you kill him?"

Irisviel and Artoria were both taken aback when they saw this.

Waver, Kariya Matou, and Lancelot, who were standing nearby, were also confused. Lancelot immediately protected Kariya Matou and pulled Waver, who was trembling with fear because his Servant had disappeared and he was left unprotected, to his side, shielding him behind him.

Irisviel stepped forward and embraced Kiritsugu Emiya's gradually cooling body, using her own magical power to heal him.

However, most of Kiritsugu Emiya's internal organs had already been cooked by the intense laser beam that Du Can had just fired.

The heart, in particular, was completely charred.

This level of injury is unlikely to be cured by modern medicine, and ordinary healing magic is absolutely ineffective.

Kiritsugu Emiya is not far from death at this moment.

Artoria immediately ran to Kiritsugu Emiya, drew her sword, pointed it at Du Can, and glared angrily.

Although she deeply disliked Kiritsugu Emiya, she wasn't so indifferent as to stand by and watch him be killed.

"Artoria, I'm here to break the contract between you and Kiritsugu Emiya. Once he's dead, you'll be free to renew your contract with me and become my Servant."

Du Can's tone at this moment sounded like that of a villain.

"This kind of freedom! How could I possibly want it? If I could gain freedom at the expense of others, I would rather commit suicide!"

Artoria roared.

"Don't worry, he's just dead, not that his soul is gone. We can just bring him back to life later."

Du Can expressed indifference.

But this nonchalant attitude only fueled Artoria's anger.

"Die if you want to die, live if you want to live. Do you think life is some kind of toy? That it can't be repaired if it's broken? A dead life cannot be brought back to life! You treat life so carelessly and casually, what exactly do you take life for?!"

Artoria was now filled with rage.

“Your Majesty is right! Life is priceless. Even if you truly possess the ability to resurrect people, you should not kill so indiscriminately. That would cause the value of life to be completely lost.”

Lancelot also stepped forward to speak, but his perspective was completely different from Artoria's.

After all, Artoria had never seen Du Can resurrect the dead, so she thought Du Can was killing people randomly.

But Lancelot had actually witnessed Du Can resurrect the three Matou family members who had already died. He could even feel the absurd scene of his contract with Matou Kariya suddenly breaking and then reconnecting.

“…Lancelot, you’re right. Then I’ll find a different way to sign the contract later.”

Du Can thought about it for a moment, and then agreed.

Lancelot nodded.

Artoria, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, her head filled with question marks. What kind of riddles are you two playing? Lord Lancelot, why do you agree with the other? Have you betrayed us too?

At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya uttered his last words, haltingly.

"Cough...cough...cough...Alice...you don't need to bother saving me...I know my body...it's beyond saving..."

Kiritsugu Emiya was pale and barely breathing.

Irisviel, standing to the side, was crying her eyes out. As she cried, she pressed her hands tightly against Kiritsugu Emiya's chest, her hands constantly emitting a magical green light that emitted healing magic.

"Kiritsugu, Kiritsugu, don't say anything more, I will definitely save you... Oh, right, [Avalon]! There's [Avalon]! I'll get it for you right away!"

Irisviel had started to speak recklessly, reaching out to grab her chest, as if trying to take something out of it.

Artoria and Lancelot, who were standing nearby, were both stunned when they heard this.

Avalon...

Avalon?

Avalon!

Irisviel has Avalon!

Artoria desperately wanted to ask about the situation, but seeing the other party's current state, she could only suppress her excitement for the time being.

Kiritsugu Emiya stopped Irisviel from making any further moves.

"Cough...cough...cough...it's no use...Alice...that person clearly doesn't like me...and wants to kill me...no matter what you do, you can't stop her...give up..."

"No! No way! Absolutely not!"

Irisviel was somewhat desperate. If Du Can really wanted to kill Kiritsugu Emiya, then even the truly omnipotent Holy Grail probably couldn't save him.

“Alice… listen to me… Maiya has a special status… if you want her to stay, then stay… if you don’t want her to stay, then let her go… and… take good care of Ilya…”

Kiritsugu Emiya's words came out in fits and starts, as if he were about to run out of breath, but he just kept going. No wonder he's a magician with incredible resilience; his life force is comparable to a cockroach. Even with his internal organs roasted, he can still talk so much.

Du Can found it a bit boring.

"Emiya Kiritsugu, can't you just die already? It's so annoying that you're still alive."

Another laser beam shot out from his hand.

Upon seeing this, Artoria immediately raised her holy sword, attempting to block.

But the laser beam moved at Du Can's will, nimbly bypassing Artoria's sword tip like a swimming fish.

Then he pierced through Kiritsugu Emiya's brain.

This high-energy laser burned part of Kiritsugu Emiya's brain tissue. Even if Kiritsugu Emiya's magic circuits and remaining magic crests exerted all their power and tried desperately to repair it, they would never be able to repair this fatal injury.

At this moment, he was absolutely dead.

With a snap, Emiya Kiritsugu lost all sign of life.

"No!"

Irisviel screamed in agony.

"Why?!"

Artoria launched a direct attack on Du Can, rapidly wielding her lightsaber, but Du Can easily dodged them all.

She discovered that the causal thread that originally connected her to Kiritsugu Emiya had been broken, and the contract had completely collapsed.

Her body began to fade slowly due to the lack of magical energy, and magical light began to emanate from her body.

I reckon she'll completely vanish and disappear into nothingness in no time.

But before she completely vanishes, she must avenge her Master! Even if she is no match for him, she will fight with all her might!

"Artoria, you're getting a little impatient. Just look at what's about to happen."

Du Can fired another laser beam.
