Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

While feeling the pain of his chest muscles being slowly pierced, Noah gave Scathach, who was also panting in the distance, a hideous smile stained with blood.

"Hey! Old woman..."

Before Scathach could react, Noah showed a hint of confusion.

Why do I always want to call her an old woman?

No reason!

"Oh, sorry, I don't know why I wanted to call you that, but I didn't expect that I would die in your hands. It's a pity that we haven't had a proper fight yet!"

Scathach looked speechless.

If it weren't for that old..., she could have also expressed the regret among the soldiers and conveyed her wish to be killed by him.

But now, she just wants to teach this brat who doesn't know how to respect women a lesson!

Humph! What? My magic gun is pretty accurate.

Even Lucky A+ can kill!

At this moment, Scathach's charming face, which had always been calm and composed, suddenly changed its expression.

"Kotomine Kirei! You actually!!"

Like a punctured balloon, the magic power in Scathach suddenly dissipated after a burst that Noah had no time to react to.

The magic spear that had pierced his chest for half a finger suddenly lost its power and fell to the ground.

Looking at his palm which was only left with bones, and then at his chest where his ribs were shattered, Noah looked at Scathach with a look of confusion on his face.

what happened?

Oh, and Gilgamesh.

I don't know if he sensed something, but he actually relaxed his output on the Sword of Separation.

Noah naturally wouldn't be polite and suddenly increased the supply of magic power.

So, after the stars flashed by, Gilgamesh was caught off guard and was immediately knocked away.

"Noah!!! You're playing dirty!!!"

117 Tokiomi Died Again

With a loud "boom", the explosion resounded through the deserted and quiet streets and drifted away with the evening breeze.

If this area hadn't been covered by the barrier that kept people away set up by Tōsaka Tokiomi, the police would have surrounded it long ago.

In this violent explosion, the centuries-old Matou residence was reduced to ruins amidst flames and debris.

"Bang bang bang!!"

As many as 150 submachine gun bullets pierced through the smoke and poured down on Sora like a rainstorm.

If it were in the past, Sora would definitely not even bother to dodge such a bullet.

Although she felt that Kenneth was a boring person, it did not mean that Sora would deny everything about Kenneth. At least in terms of the concepts of magicians, both parties were very similar.

Even a third-rate magus would not be threatened by bullets and guns coming head-on.

However, after seeing the tragic state of Kayneth's magic circuits being completely destroyed, Sora put aside his arrogance and chose the most effective means of defense.

Be a turtle!

A bulletproof steel plate made of ultra-thick alloy, over two meters high, rose up like a mountain under the control of magic, and closed at the top, protecting Sora without any blind spots.

"Dang Dang Dang!!"

Through the bulletproof glass, Sora could see the large amount of sparks splashed when the bullets hit the sixteen-sided inclined steel plate and bounced off, and he couldn't help but show a trace of contempt on his face.

Although these bulletproof steel plates were urgently produced overnight, they were made of an ultra-high-strength alloy invented in the laboratory that is too expensive to be mass-produced.

Coupled with the sixteen-sided polygonal design, it can easily defend against not only anti-material sniper rifles but also individual rocket launchers.

Of course, if Kiritsugu Emiya could get a large-caliber field artillery, or detonate a huge amount of high explosives next to her, he could directly use the vibration to kill her, and then Sora would have to consider herself unlucky.

After all, the so-called magician killer only relies on sneak attacks.

Although I don't know what kind of equipment is that can completely destroy magic circuits, as long as I know its methods in advance, I won't need too many ways to defend myself.

The reason why this was not done before was purely because of the dignity of the Clock Tower Lord's family.

But now, Sora no longer cares about those means.

She had learned from decades of experience as a magician that magicians have limits.

So she decided to outdo the magician!

"Dance! The wind of the sky!"

As the magic outfit appeared, ultra-low temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero spread in the air, causing countless snowflakes to condense and emerge, randomly transforming into countless wind blades that slashed towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu Emiya casually threw several high-explosive grenades into the air, then turned around and ran without looking back, running behind a broken wall.

After the violent explosion, the cold storm continued to sweep across, covering the ground with a thick layer of frost.

Kiritsugu Emiya was unable to dodge, but his left arm was only slightly affected, and a large area of skin was frozen, causing a burning pain.

"Roar, Aurora Flame!"

Following Sora's command, the chill in the air suddenly transformed into a fierce flame.

The extremely heated air turns into a shock wave, causing a violent explosion, which will further destroy the broken walls and ruins that have been shattered by the extreme cold and heat.

The shock wave threw Emiya Kiritsugu out like a wave, and countless debris and flying stones hit his body, and blood immediately splattered in the dusk!

After a few extremely destructive spells, there was no grass left around.

Looking at Emiya Kiritsugu lying in a pool of blood in front of him, Sora's eyes were excited, but his face was pale and sweating. He quickly took out the potion and drank it, and took out the gem to restore his magic power.

The moves just now seemed quite gorgeous to outsiders, but from a magician's perspective, they actually lacked technical content. They were of the type that required great force to make bricks fly. Naturally, they were extremely exhausting for Sora.

However, for an opponent like Emiya Kiritsugu, adopting this map-cannon-like attack mode is the safest approach.

Although Sora's magician skills are not as good as Kenneth's, he is also top-notch in the Clock Tower, not to mention that he has many magic costumes and secret treasures of the El-Melloi family to use.

Feeling the strange smell of the potion and the gradual recovery of magic power in his body, Sora's pale complexion gradually recovered.

But looking at Emiya Kiritsugu lying in a pool of blood, she still showed a hint of hesitation.

Probably, killed him, right?

At least, he should be in a coma.

Sora judged others by himself and couldn't imagine that a person could endure being unconscious after his right leg was injured by the explosion, his abdomen was pierced, and he didn't know how many bones were broken.

As he was thinking, Sora raised his hand, enduring the stinging pain coming from his magic circuit, and prepared to throw Emiya Kiritsugu's body away.

Just think of it as revenge for Kenneth.

Now, Sora no longer had the same disgust and dislike towards Kenneth that he had in the past. He just felt that he, like himself, was one of the victims destroyed by the crazy magician's world.

Looking back now, those previous thoughts were more like self-loathing.

It’s like some rebellious students who hate studying and show disdain for school and teachers, but still feel jealous of students with good grades.

But now, there was only a subtle feeling of pity, and even a sense of guilt for venting anger on him in the past due to my own incompetence.

There wasn't much I could do, so it wasn't too much to ask for revenge for him.

If the Holy Grail is really the legendary universal wish-granting machine, I should help Kenneth myself.

After watching the raging flames covering Emiya Kiritsugu's 'corpse' and gradually melting it, Sora finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked around and after thinking about it, she walked out of the turtle shell of bulletproof steel plate.

This battle at the Matou residence can be said to have accomplished nothing for Sora.

Because her first goal is to defeat and eliminate Noah's Master and seize control of him.

But now the Matou house has been razed to the ground. Not to mention Noah's extremely mysterious Master, even Matou Kariya and Caster, who were supposed to be here, are nowhere to be found.

Obviously, they have moved elsewhere.

If it weren't for this, she and her temporary ally, Kiritsugu Emiya, wouldn't have gone to war.

Now that the battle with Emiya Kiritsugu has been decided, Sora's only remaining opponent should be Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Bulletproof steel plates can only protect against evil magicians like Emiya Kiritsugu who love to use firearms. They are meaningless against upright magicians like Tōsaka Tokiomi who can fight with Kenneth for a long time.

Any attack from a fire magic of hundreds or thousands of degrees Celsius would directly roast Sora even if it didn't melt the steel plate.

Therefore, the moment Emiya Kiritsugu died, this bulletproof turtle shell became a burden.

Where will they be?

As Sora was struggling with this, a sudden impact pierced his body, accompanied by the sound of a gunshot.

At that moment, she felt dizzy. Not only did she feel pain, she even lost the perception of her body.

Subconsciously turning his head, Sora saw the muzzle of a gun pointed at him amidst the ruins, as well as a pair of cold, blood-stained eyes that looked as ferocious as a demon.

This is Emiya Kiritsugu!

That was just...

In a trance, Sora suddenly recalled the information he had briefly read before coming to this far eastern land.

Those were the simple data that Kenneth had gathered in preparation for the Holy Grail War. Sora hadn't thought about participating in the war at the time, so he just glanced at it a few times without looking at it in detail.

The Tohsaka family, descendants of the Jewel Ogura family, are skilled in jewel magic, and the current head of the family, Tohsaka Tokiomi, is also skilled in fire magic.

The Matou family, descendants of the Russian magician and Kiev bug-user Machiri Zolgen, has declined drastically. The most likely participant in the war, Matou Kariya, suddenly returned to Fuyuki City only a year ago.

Einzbern, skilled in alchemy and puppet-making, but not in combat, enlists the magician assassin Emiya Kiritsugu to fight on their behalf...

Dolls...

The 'corpse' that Sora just destroyed was a puppet!

And that's the only doll!

In all previous battles, it was Kiritsugu Emiya who took the damage personally, but he replaced the doll at the last moment and lurked in the ruins.

The purpose is to find the moment when Sora Sophiali lets her guard down!

When he realized this, the intense pain spreading from his abdomen instantly swept through every corner of Sora's nerves and brain.

it hurts!

it hurts!

it hurts!

Tears blurred Sora's vision, and he lost control of his body and fell to the ground in an instant.

She wanted to shout out loud, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make incoherent and meaningless "ho ho" sounds.

It was at this moment that Sora realized that the scenes in some movies where the protagonists could resist after being shot were all fake.

A person may still be able to struggle if a bullet hits the limbs, but if the torso, especially the chest and abdomen, is penetrated, the severe pain will make the person immediately lose control of the body. The muscles in the throat will tighten, making the person feel suffocated and unable to scream.

Why, why did it turn out like this?

I should have defeated all the Masters, won the Holy Grail War, and after healing Kenneth and repaying his debt, I would be with Mr. Noah forever...

s, sabr, she must be called back immediately.

Yes, that concept costume can save Kenneth and me!

Feeling his life force, body temperature, and blood rapidly draining away, Sora's consciousness gradually sank into darkness and coldness. Only the thought of living remained.

“I, I command with the Command Spell—”

Then, dozens of bullets erupted from the muzzle and landed on Sora, ending her life completely.

Sola Nazele Sofiali died completely just like that.

In order to ensure that the same situation as Kenneth, where he was half dead and then rescued, would not happen again, Kiritsugu Emiya endured the severe pain from all over his body and fired another volley of bullets into Sora.

It was just that due to the heavy damage to his arm muscles, at a distance of only ten meters, most of the submachine gun bullets that had almost hit the target almost every time actually hit the open ground this time.
