Kamen Rider Date A Live

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

The moment he threw it, Kiritsugu's gun spewed fire, forcibly detonating the explosives and destroying the spike that had just emerged from the ground, intending to pierce the bomb!

boom!!!!!

Another powerful explosion rang out, but this time Kiritsugu was different from before; he faced the blast head-on and advanced directly!

Meanwhile, Kirei Kotomine, who witnessed Kiritsugu's audacity in doing this, was not only shocked but also more certain that Kiritsugu's trump card was the light bullet—otherwise, given Kiritsugu's personality, he would never have risked his life to retrieve it. Of course, more importantly, in the current situation where there was almost no explosives left, Kiritsugu Emiya, now an ordinary human, had no means to kill himself.

The gun in his hand? The Origin Bullet with special conceptual damage? Putting aside how ineffective ordinary bullets are, the Origin Bullet has little effect on Kirei Kotomine, whose body currently lacks magic circuits!

"It's time... for me to take action myself."

With a blank expression, Kirei Kotomine, sensing that part of the barrier had been blown open, no longer hesitated, transformed into a clump of black mud, and shot upwards!

On the other side, Kiritsugu, who was enduring the blast, now had a light shield on his body that was exactly the same as before, ensuring his progress.

However, although the blast came and went quickly, a closer look revealed that the light shield had many cracks. Clearly, the power of the blast just now was not to be underestimated. If it weren't for the shield, Kiritsugu would probably have been seriously injured or even killed.

But thanks to Kiritsugu's decisive decision, the magazine containing the Light Bullet is now within reach!

But just then, a metallic sound suddenly came from behind Kiritsugu!

call out! !

Clang!

The attack came too fast! Kiritsugu had no time to react, and the protective shield covering his body was easily shattered—but Kiritsugu ignored that and instead reached for the magazine with even more determination!

The moment the shield was shattered, the attack, which had not stopped, was about to hit Kiritsugu when a shield, exactly the same as the one before but much more complete, appeared again!

However, unlike Kirei Kotomine, who was feeling impatient and disgusted and was still thinking about how many more times he had left, Kiritsugu clearly understood that this was... the last time!

However, reality is cruel.

Just as Kiritsugu was less than ten centimeters away from the magazine, and could have reached it with a mere stretch of his hand, Kirei Kotomine suddenly emerged from the ground like a zombie, rising from a warehouse like a Gundam!

Because of the sudden change in the ground, the magazines near Kiritsugu, which were shaken away, slid to a distance. At the same time, Kirei Kotomine's left hand extended behind Kiritsugu like Luffy, holding three black keys and thrusting them at him. His right hand also split instantly, transforming into countless black fists aimed at Kiritsugu, attacking from both sides!

Crackle!

Without any suspense, the light shield shattered instantly, and a deadly attack would strike in less than a second. However, Kiritsugu knew that he had a trump card to turn the tide!

'timealter--square--accel!!!' (Time control - four times speed)

Time has sped up.

The world has slowed down.

My body felt hot.

The goal has been achieved; Kirei Kotomine has finally been drawn into my sight!

"Ohh ...

He knew he had let out a roar that was out of character, but Kiritsugu felt that his roar at that moment had given him a newfound courage!

He bent down, trying to avoid vital areas, dodging the three black keys behind him, ignoring the excruciating pain and spurting blood from the black keys' attack, and swung his right fist at Kirei Kotomine's chest!

Bang!

Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump! !!! !

Seeing Kiritsugu's incredibly foolish attack, Kirei Kotomine was about to laugh when he was shocked to find that a hole the size of a bowl had been pierced through his chest!

"this……!!"

Almost instinctively, Kirei Kotomine looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was now covered in bruises and tattered clothes, but whose eyes and mouth were open, revealing a victorious smile!

228 Joan of Arc vs. Gilles

Chapter 228 Joan of Arc vs. Gilles de Rais (Part 1)

PS1: Sorry, I was on duty at the company today and just got home... Anyway, enough rambling, fresh out of the oven (just kidding)!

———Continuing from the beginning of Article 225———

"A complete defeat... I see. So, all those magazines that fell to the ground because of my attack, your actions to retrieve them, and even the bullets in the magazine that shattered my attack—were all just a decoy, bait..."

"........."

Kirei Kotomine seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps questioning himself, but Kiritsugu merely glanced at him coldly, took a drag of his cigarette, ignored Kirei's words, and left.

"They're gone... What a pity, they were wiped out just like that. I—I'm not satisfied yet..."

Leaving behind a deeply melancholic statement, Kirei Kotomine transformed into black fragments and vanished from this land.

On the other side, if there was no blood on him, then it was Kiritsugu making a graceful exit. After taking a few steps, he suddenly—no, it should be said that he naturally collapsed to the ground, his breathing becoming weaker and slower. Clearly, Kiritsugu's life was not far from ending at this moment.

The reason is simple. Although Kiritsugu dodged or grazed most of Kirei Kotomine's attacks that were almost fatal, the countless punches directly in front of him were truly powerful. If you were to tear open Kiritsugu's clothes now, you would see that the muscles in his front body were all unnaturally concave, and most of his front body was purple, which would make anyone who saw it shudder. Moreover, given the concavity of Kiritsugu's body, his lungs and heart must have suffered very serious damage, and they might even be shattered. In fact, Kiritsugu, who was able to put on a show in front of Kirei Kotomine just now, was really too awesome.

However, as Kiritsugu struggled to stay upright and not faint despite his injuries, he crawled towards the sight of Irisviel and Ilya smiling and waiting for him, who had somehow appeared before him. Kiritsugu crawled forward slowly and steadily.

...Wait a minute! What kind of flashback is this?! This is practically a death knell! Seriously, Kiritsugu, where did you come from, a second Poseidon?!

Well, at the normal pace, Kiritsugu will definitely see, but never get to hold, the hands of Irisviel and Ilya—just like Boss.

However, unlike Poseidon, Kiritsugu actually defeated the enemy, and for a human to defeat an avatar of the world's evil is a remarkable achievement. Therefore, as a reward for this achievement, White Shido and Transparent Shiori won't just sit idly by.

“Emiya Kiritsugu—God says you cannot die here yet.”

The Reality Marble suddenly opened, revealing a large gate. Outside the gate stood Shido, arms outstretched, eyes closed, bathed in light above his head, wearing an incredibly holy expression, spouting nonsensical and ridiculous remarks.

——————Let's go back to the time when Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu met in a corner of the Reality Marble——————

"Drink it!!!"

Hiss!

With a few flashes of silver light, several alien monsters that had approached the master who had drawn the silver trail were cleanly and decisively split in two!

puff.

The moment the alien monster's corpse hit the ground, it automatically vaporized and dissipated, leaving no trace—not even the blood that flowed when it was cut.

"————————!!!"

Indescribable roars echoed from the direction where the monstrous creatures were constantly emerging. Looking towards the source of the sound, one could see Gilles de Rais, the summoner of these monstrous creatures—corrupted and controlled by the evil of this world, transformed into a mere tool for summoning them, wielding his own treasure, the 'Snail Annihilation City Tome' (prelati's spellsoushu555.com), and clad entirely in ominous black!

Supported by the endless magical power of the evil in this world, Gilles de Rais, who was not a proper Caster to begin with and had no reason, could only continuously pour his magical power into his Noble Phantasm and endlessly summon monstrous monsters of minion level. At the same time, he relied on his instincts to use those monsters as shields to summon the sea monster, which was easily destroyed by Agitω but was by no means weak!

Moreover, the number of the massive magic circles that summon the sea monsters is far more than one! If Caster really summons several of these monsters, then there's no point in fighting—because Jeanne and the others, who have seen the sea monsters with their own eyes, understand that a single sea monster is roughly equivalent to the power of an anti-city Noble Phantasm!

If there are several monsters of this level... well, then there's no point in even playing the game; everyone might as well just go to Valhalla and sleep.

Fortunately, the magic circle for summoning sea monsters is different from that for summoning low-level alien monsters; as long as there is magic power, it can be used continuously. This kind of large-scale summoning magic circle not only requires a huge amount of magic power, but also a long time for casting and drawing the magic circle.

But should we call it misfortune or bad luck? (They mean the same thing!) Caster's Noble Phantasm, the Curse of the Vanishing City (prelati's spellsoushu555.com), has allowed Caster to skip the stage of drawing a magic circle. As long as there is enough magic power and a long time to cast the spell, Caster can summon the sea monster!

However, in the face of this situation, all that came to stop it were a large number of soldiers and heroic spirits summoned by Rider, who were being brutally beaten to death by the Assassin, who was being inhumanely ignored by the author.

The soldiers and heroic spirits summoned by Rider are undeniably strong, with some even possessing abilities comparable to Saber-class Knight Kings!

However, the summoned heroic spirits have a major drawback—they don't have Noble Phantasms and can only fight using magical artifacts to materialize ordinary weapons.

Of course, even so, this is not very important to the soldiers and heroic spirits who are originally good at this kind of legion battles - the best evidence is the assassin who was killed.

However, they encountered another kind of trouble while fighting the alien monsters summoned by Caster.

No matter what they do, they can't kill or exterminate all the alien monsters. No matter how brave the soldiers and heroes are, they can only fight with their bodies, fists, and weapons. They don't have large-scale elimination methods. Almost as soon as they kill one alien monster, another will immediately take its place. No, it should be said that several more will appear!

There's no way around it; the time it takes to kill the alien monsters is enough for the caster to summon dozens or even hundreds of alien monsters!

Meanwhile, Joan of Arc, Saber, Rider, Lancer, and Berserker, who all possessed the ability to inflict massive damage, were all entangled by Archer and unable to break free.

However, as the saying goes, there is no eternal darkness, nor is there permanent light. Nothing in the world can remain unchanged forever. Before long, just as the soldiers and heroes began to show signs of defeat against the increasing number of alien monsters, a turning point arrived.

229 Joan of Arc vs. Gilles (Middle)

Chapter 229 Joan of Arc vs. Gilles de Rais (Part 2)

The unexpected turn of events was Jeanne d'Arc, who, with the help of Saber and others, escaped the battlefield where she was fighting Archer and came to support the Heroic Spirits!

Without hesitation, Jeanne d'Arc summoned her other weapon, a Noble Phantasm that was only useful in large-scale battles, and called out its true name!

"The Unbeaten Flags of Vichill!!"

The flag waved in Joan of Arc's left hand released a radiant wave as Joan of Arc's magic was infused and her true name was released!

The radiant wave, originating from Joan of Arc, spread to all the allied heroic spirits present!

(Kiritsugu's battlefield was too far away to be reached at the time.)

"Ooo ...

The moment the radiant wave finished spreading, the soldiers and heroes, who had been exhausted from facing the endless alien monsters, seemed to have drunk Red Bull. They abandoned their previous slow movements, roared in unison, and then swung their weapons in unison, slaying the fanged and clawing alien monsters in front of them!

"Oh my, these guys are already so motivated so quickly. As expected of Jeanne d'Arc. At this rate, dealing with Caster shouldn't be a big problem..."

Rider watched as his men, now freed from Joan of Arc's banner and valiantly fought, obeying Joan's commands with unstoppable momentum—former troops once again his own. (Huh? Why "former"?)

On the other hand, for the soldiers and heroes at this moment, all the obstacles in front of them are nothing more than a way out!

"Ughhhhhhh!!!!"

With another deafening roar, the soldiers and heroic spirits, under Joan of Arc's seemingly unreliable and chaotic command, broke through the second layer of alien monsters' encirclement without suffering any casualties!

"The left wing is too small, reinforcements needed!!"

"Watch out for an arrow in the knee!"

"High-energy reaction ahead! Be prepared for a coordinated attack!"

"Beware of enemies from the sky!"

"Soldiers fighting with guns, switch to other weapons immediately!!!"

"The feet are just for decoration; the real target is the alien monster's chest!"

"Don't hesitate, don't be afraid! The opponent is just... a piece of trash with a combat power of only 9!!!"

While commanding the entire army, Joan of Arc herself was not idle. Although she was waving a flag in her left hand, she was still gripping her sword tightly in her right hand, running at the forefront and cutting down the alien monsters!

Although she held the flag in her left hand, Joan of Arc's movements were still flawless and without any awkwardness. The sword and the flag worked together perfectly. The sword was responsible for killing the enemy, while the purple banner with patterns at the tip of the flag could instantly confuse and conceal Joan of Arc's figure (the banner was about 1.5 meters long and about 0.5 meters wide). The flagpole could even serve as a weapon for a short time!

Given the current battle situation, the soldiers and heroic spirits led by Joan of Arc might be able to kill Caster before he summons the sea monster!

This situation is caused by the effect of Jeanne d'Arc's Noble Phantasm—the Undefeated Banner of Vecchiel!
