People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

If a magician who thinks he can control the hero treats him like a familiar and orders him around, he will suffer a great loss later.

Scathach narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had already anticipated the fate of a certain unlucky guy.

Chapter 4: Emiya Kiritsugu, Your Wife Is Missing! (5K words)

Emiya Kiritsugu...

This is a man known as the Magician Killer, and he is also a recognized villain in the magic circle. With his horrifying record of killing nearly a hundred magicians, he is considered a well-known and dangerous figure even in the magic circle around the world.

However, even such an extremely dangerous person looked particularly sad at this moment.

Under the cold night sky, a ragged, pale man stood, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth. He felt the intense pain radiating from every part of his body, paralyzing him. Even his originally cold expression was distorted by the excruciating pain. If possible, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.

However, Artoria, who was standing in front and dragging the stretcher to carry him along, obviously did not understand his intention.

So, under the cold night, this master and servant pair, who had been somewhat at odds with each other, moved forward silently in the grove, one responsible for pulling and the other responsible for lying down.

"..."

Exhausted, Emiya Kiritsugu blinked and tried to speak, but the dryness in his throat made him give up on this difficult action. Finally, he forced himself to be strong, stretched out his numb hand, reached into his pocket with difficulty, took out a cigarette and lit it to his lips.

Comfortable……

The pain has eased a little.

The smell of nicotine slightly relaxed his frown, and then the man named Emiya Kiritsugu just stared up at the night sky with empty eyes, holding a cigarette in his mouth, reviewing the battle tonight that was obviously wrong.

No matter from which perspective, tonight's plan and battle can be called a complete failure.

The situation at the moment is indescribably bad.

First of all, regarding the Master, there is nothing much to say about this. His online game was completely defeated by Kenneth, and he had no power to fight back.

The only results of the battle were a few pieces of information that he had barely exchanged for half his life. First of all, his opponent had been confirmed to be the trusted monarch of the Clock Tower, the Lord of the Mineral Department, the head of the El-Melloi School, a magic family that had been passed down for nine generations, the Color Magician, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

Although he had learned through investigation before coming that there were two orthodox magicians from the Clock Tower in this Holy Grail War, he did not expect that a Lord from the Clock Tower would appear in this Holy Grail War, and the other party was an outrageous Lord.

Logically speaking, a ninth-generation magician like Kenneth, an old noble of the Clock Tower, and a magician of the Color Rank, should be arrogant and look down on everything. Even if he participated in the Holy Grail War, he would most likely not take second-rate magicians like them seriously and would not bother to use his full strength in battle, thus giving him the opportunity to counterattack.

After all, unlike an orthodox magus, he wields the immensely lethal weapon, the [Origin Bullet]. If he can seize the opportunity to land a single bullet without the opponent's knowledge, then no matter how powerful the opponent is, he can leverage the Origin Bullet's properties to bring them to their knees, effectively completing a first-look kill.

But Emiya Kiritsugu had no idea what had provoked Kenneth.

When participating in a rural magic ceremony, his ceremonial attire can be considered as fully armed, literally armed from toes to teeth, with defense, invisibility, reconnaissance, positioning and amplification magic... There is almost nothing this guy can't do, he has fully armed himself like a rogue warrior among magicians, his desire to survive is simply maxed out.

If it were just that, Kiritsugu Emiya could still accept it. What was even more outrageous was that this unsportsmanlike guy did not enter the arena in person during the entire process, but instead controlled a puppet to fight him, and cheated him out of all his cards.

When he was chased by Kenneth all the way and had no way out, he decided to fight to the death.

He used constant injuries as bait to get himself into this miserable state, and finally lured Kenneth to a spare trap set in advance, then took out the Stinger RPG he had prepared in advance, and without caring about his own safety, he launched a huge explosion in Kenneth's face less than a few meters away.

When he saw the horrific explosion that blew away the area where Kenneth was along with the surrounding containers, Kiritsugu Emiya smiled with relief, and couldn't help but roar in his heart.

"Grown-up times have changed!!"

Sure enough, all these problems really came from insufficient firepower.

If he is hit by the Stinger RPG head-on, he will be seriously injured even if you have prepared enough magic equipment. Then he just needs to seize the opportunity to end the battle with the Origin Bullet.

However, just when Emiya Kiritsugu was thinking of such a beautiful idea and was about to shoot again.

The next moment, something completely unbearable happened. Before he could finish with the Origin Bullet, a sudden burst of shrill applause erupted from the corner, and another Kenneth emerged, unharmed.

In that brief moment, the corners of Emiya Kiritsugu's mouth were twitching wildly, and his heart was also extremely devastated. Even the palm that was holding the Origin Bullet was shaking wildly at this moment.

Thinking back to last night, in order to get rid of this powerful enemy, he did not hesitate to exchange injuries for injuries, using his own body as bait, constantly showing weakness, launching random attacks and revealing flaws like a trapped beast in a cage. In addition, his use of modern weapons naturally earned him contempt from Kenneth.

And this is what he wants. When there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, the only way to break the deadlock is to seize the flaw in a moment.

Kiritsugu Emiya seized this rare opportunity, step by step leading Kenneth into his own trap, took out the hot weapons that his assistant had prepared in advance, and then, regardless of his own injuries, shot Kenneth in the face with an RPG.

The plan progressed very smoothly and excellently, and in the process, Kiritsugu Emiya also demonstrated his outstanding execution and action capabilities, as well as his precious awareness of sacrificing his own life.

So, with the accumulation of many advantages, his efforts paid off and he successfully killed Kenneth...'s stand-in!

As he watched Kenneth being engulfed by the explosion, he smiled, for he had vanquished a formidable foe. Single-handedly slaying the Lord of the Clock Tower was a feat rarely seen in the entire mystical world. Even in this horrific state, the fact that a formidable foe had been eliminated made this a truly worthwhile bargain!

Then Kenneth smiled. Although he'd just used up the substitute puppet he'd recently purchased at great expense from the Grand Master puppeteer, he'd also learned the magic tricks and hidden cards of a certain assassin magician, mitigating a significant risk. While this item was intended as a trick for his apprentice, it wasn't a loss to eliminate such a despicable opponent. He was still well prepared.

So when both sides felt that they had made a huge profit, it was obvious that Kenneth made a few more billions.

After all, he will soon carry Emiya Kiritsugu away. What's the point of doing business with a dead person?

However, Emiya Kiritsugu, a true veteran of the magus assassin world, hadn't given up even in such a situation. Seeing Kayneth reappear, he suppressed his near-collapse and seized the opportunity to launch another counterattack. He even risked his life force, only to burst out at five times his natural time speed in a short burst. He quickly closed in, then blasted Kayneth in the face with a flashbang, then used his secret weapon, the Origin Bullet, in a final stand.

And the result...

In fact, the plan was almost successful.

Facing the bullets he shot, Kenneth's face was full of disdain. He was ready to use his ceremonial clothes and body to block them directly, and then control the moon-aged marrow fluid to cut them into pieces.

This guy was careless. Obviously Kenneth didn't know the secret of the bullet.

So he won this final fight! Next, he would lose a limb in exchange for Kenneth's life.

What Kiritsugu Emiya didn't expect was that other Masters would break in at this critical moment.

Before he could even fire his Origin Bullet, a young man he had never seen before appeared from the corner of the dock and intervened in his battle with Kayneth. Even more horrifying was the fact that he clearly knew the information about the Origin Bullet he held. Without giving him a chance to fire, he aimed a pre-prepared "Expelliarmus" at his palm, sending the pistol loaded with the Origin Bullet flying, leaving Emiya Kiritsugu completely stunned.

The other party also shouted to Kenneth: "Long time no see, teacher."

The situation then completely got out of control.

Fortunately, the lemon-head guy gave up chasing him and instead targeted the young man who just appeared, which gave him the opportunity to slip away from under his nose.

Thinking of this, he took a deep puff of his cigarette, and Emiya Kiritsugu felt more and more melancholy.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a Waterloo on the first night. He didn't know what was wrong with that mineral department's monarch. He was so cautious that he didn't give anyone a chance to survive.

Moreover, the young man's appearance was obviously waiting for him, and he personally helped Kenneth avoid the damage of the origin bomb, and this was not the most important thing.

Because he ran too fast last night, the pistol loaded with the Origin bullet fell to the ground. It must have fallen into their hands by now. If the secret was discovered...

Thinking of the secret of his Origin Bullet being exposed, Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't help but shudder.

That thing is no joke. If the magic world knew that he actually possessed such a weapon against magicians, he would undoubtedly be attacked by the entire magic world.

After all, any magician would not allow such a weapon to exist in the world!

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu knew.

If he fails, what awaits him will definitely not be a return to his previous life. Formaldehyde solution and the seal designated by the Law and Politics Department will undoubtedly become his destination.

This Holy Grail War should be his last chance, he must win, no matter the cost!!

……

However, on the other side, Artoria's situation was not much better than his. She also suffered a beating from society last night.

First, he was tricked by Finn and brought Irisviel into the other party's home field to fight. As a result, he was almost swallowed up by the endless waves. The Servants who appeared later were more powerful than each other.

And the last black knight to appear, for some reason, had gone mad, targeting her again after Archer left. His attacks were as fierce as a mad dog, and his barrage of blows left her battered and bruised.

Although he is a Berserker, he suppresses me in all aspects of martial arts. If I don't release my Noble Phantasm, there is no possibility of defeating him.

Fortunately, she had roughly figured out the characteristics of all the heroes last night.

First of all, the strongest person present is undoubtedly the golden heroic spirit Archer. After all, the scene of him controlling thousands of Noble Phantasms at the same time is too shocking. Artoria knows very well that she is definitely not his opponent.

The golden Lancer Finn and the purple Lancer Scathach also demonstrated their powerful strength and martial arts.

However, due to various reasons, she didn't have the chance to experience Scathach's strength, but she did have a taste of Finn's abilities. Not only was he a top-notch martial artist, he was also very good at controlling the power of water, and his endurance and healing abilities were also extremely terrifying.

After fighting with him for so long, she was beaten up. As a result, Finn took out a mineral water bottle and performed a very effective healing spell on her palm, which immediately restored all the damage caused by such a long time.

This also made Artoria realize the powerful functionality of the other party.

She can heal, control water, output damage, and sustain energy. She is completely a hexagonal warrior. If she doesn't release the treasure, she really can't beat Finn.

As for Iskandar, the Rider, there wasn't much to say. Although he hadn't displayed much strength, his aura and the emanating magical power alone showed that the King of Conquerors was no ordinary figure. He was bound to be a formidable foe in this Holy Grail War.

Very good, all of them are exceptional servants. Even the seemingly weakest Black Knight has the strength to suppress her in martial arts. This makes Artoria start to doubt...

Am I too weak? Is this really how intense the Holy Grail War should be?

I always feel that the famous King Arthur seems to be just like that in this Holy Grail War...

In addition, there are some problems with the lack of Avalon and the magic supply, so he is definitely a suppressed player.

If there weren't so many people and they weren't wary of each other, if a real fight broke out, she wouldn't be the heroic spirit who would be able to walk out of the port in the end.

In short, after this night, the already problematic Saber-Master-Servant was completely exhausted both physically and mentally. However, Emiya Kiritsugu knew very well that he could not rest now.

According to the assistant's report, Assassin did not leave. She observed his presence with night vision goggles, and he must find out the reason.

And according to what Saber said, he also had to investigate the existence of two Lancers at the same time. Did someone summon them illegally? Who summoned the second Lancer? Was it the Caster who had never appeared?

There is also Kenneth from last night and the young man who knows the information about his origin bomb that needs to be investigated. In short, there are so many things to do that he has no time to rest.

This Holy Grail War was far beyond expectations. Let Saber take Irisviel back to the castle and keep the troops at bay. I must go and make a new plan.

"Ok?"

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu's brows suddenly furrowed, and then his eyes widened, as if he had thought of a very important issue.

He hastily spit out the cigarette in his mouth, then looked at Altria who was still pulling the cart and asked hurriedly: "Saber, where is Irisviel, the one I asked you to protect?!"

Only after sorting out his information and thoughts did the exhausted Emiya Kiritsugu realize...

My wife seems to be lost!!

In response to this, Artoria couldn't help but widen her eyes, turned around to look at Emiya Kiritsugu, and asked in the same astonishment.

"Irisviel, hasn't she returned to the base yet?!"

"..."

To this, Emiya Kiritsugu's only response was silent silence.

Chapter 5: What is a Surprise? (K words)

What is a windfall?

What is a surprise?

——This is called a surprise!!

……

Looking at the white-haired woman who was fixed on the stone platform by Aozaki Touko's magic, even Luo Wei had to admire Aozaki Touko's move of cutting off the source of the problem, and he was even exclaiming in his heart.

'Well done! ! '

Last night, as Artoria, Finn, Gilgamesh, and many other Heroic Spirits began the Age of Gods' Great Battle at the harbor, Artoria, completely outmatched by her opponents and ultimately forced to resort to Noble Phantasms, had taken the initiative to remove the defenseless Irisviel from the battlefield. She was about to engage Finn in the final battle.

If you look at it from Altria's perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with her decision.

After all, in this battle, as the strongest fighter, she has been completely suppressed by Finn, who is stronger and has the home advantage. If she wants to avoid being exhausted to death by the opponent, she has no choice but to release her treasure and fight with all her strength.

During the battle of Noble Phantasms, Artoria had complete confidence in the holy sword in her hand.

However, if Irisviel, a android, were caught in the middle of a battle between two top Heroic Spirits, her predicament would be self-evident. He also lacked the strength to deploy his Spirit to protect her, so there was no problem in letting Irisviel leave first.

Moreover, Artoria knew that her master, Kiritsugu Emiya, should be hiding near the port. Irisviel would definitely contact him when she returned the same way. With Kiritsugu Emiya to pick her up, she would be able to retreat safely.

What she didn't expect was that in the battle last night, not only was she suppressed, but Kiritsugu Emiya was in an even worse situation.

Facing a fierce attack from an angry monarch, he not only had to survive, but also had to think about how to fight back. Naturally, he had no energy to support Irisviel, nor could he pay attention to the battle situation on Artoria's side.

This leads to a very bad situation, which is...

Artoria believed that Emiya Kiritsugu had already retrieved Irisviel and brought her to safety, while Emiya Kiritsugu believed that Irisviel was still with Artoria, creating an information asymmetry. It wasn't until they reunited that they realized Irisviel had disappeared. Even turning back to look for her was too late.

This situation caused Kiritsugu Emiya, who was originally lying on the cart and preparing to go back to rest before considering the next move, to suddenly widen his eyes, and then he looked into the same incredulous eyes as Artoria.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was already exhausted by various accidents, felt as if the sky had fallen in his heart.

Not only had he failed to eliminate any of his competitors, but he was also severely injured and had even the secret of his Origin Bullet discovered. Now, even Irisviel, the trump card of this Holy Grail War, had disappeared right under his nose.

This undoubtedly made his already restless heart even more restless. If I had to describe his current situation, there was an old proverb that fits perfectly: losing both the wife and the army.

And now he doesn't even know who did it?

At this moment, I could only start spinning around like a headless fly.
