I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

Kirei Kotomine's face was expressionless. He didn't even glance at the two Servants who were about to engage in battle. He simply strode forward, step by step, towards Rin Tohsaka.

His steps were steady and powerful, each step feeling like it was treading on a person's heart.

In the courtyard, Cú Chulainn and Sasaki Kojiro's figures instantly intersected!

The crimson demonic spear and the gleaming longsword clashed fiercely under the moonlight, the sound of the spear tip piercing the air and the cutting sound of the blade intertwining to create a deathly symphony.

The atmosphere in the living room of the Tohsaka residence was so oppressive that it seemed to freeze.

Kitagawa Kaimu nervously hid behind the sofa in the distance, only daring to peek out with half her head out.

"Ten years have passed, Rin."

Kirei Kotomine stood in the center of the living room, his voice low and calm, as if he were narrating something unrelated to himself, "You have grown into an excellent magician. Both your temperament and your methods are very similar to your father's."

"Shut up!"

Rin Tohsaka let out a low growl and stomped forward, delivering a standard Bajiquan punch straight at Kirei Kotomine's face. "Don't use your filthy mouth to mention my father's name!"

Kirei Kotomine simply shifted his body slightly and easily dodged Rin's fist.

He grabbed Rin's wrist with his other hand, pulled it downwards, and then used his other hand to chop towards Rin's neck.

Rin reacted extremely quickly, immediately blocking with her other hand while lowering her body and delivering a sweeping kick to Kirei Kotomine's lower body.

"boom!"

Their offense and defense were as fast as lightning.

Their fists and feet clashed, producing a dull thud.

Every move Rin Tohsaka made was full of power and skill, but without exception, Kirei Kotomine saw through and neutralized them all in advance.

"I taught you your boxing style, Rin."

While easily dealing with Rin's fierce attacks, Kirei Kotomine calmly stated the cruel truth, "I know every move you make, every moment you exert force, every rhythm of your breath. You can't kill me with what I taught you."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Rin's attacks grew increasingly fierce, but fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead. She could feel that her opponent was like an unshakeable mountain, and no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

"boom!"

Kirei Kotomine seized an opening and delivered a heavy elbow strike to Rin's abdomen.

Rin let out a muffled groan, flying backward and crashing heavily onto the carpet.

"ended."

Kirei Kotomine stepped forward slowly, looking down at Rin lying on the ground, his eyes devoid of any pity. "Go in peace. Go see your father."

He raised his foot, ready to end the life of his "student" once and for all.

At that very moment, Rin Tohsaka, lying on the ground, showed no despair in her blue eyes, but instead a resolute glint.

"Chat group...points redemption! Physical aptitude, maximum! Magical aptitude, maximum!"

She thought silently in her mind.

The next second, an unimaginably large surge of heat erupted from the deepest part of her body!

In that instant, the bones, muscles, meridians, and even magic circuits of the entire body were elevated to a completely new level.

An unprecedented sense of power filled her limbs and bones.

As Kirei Kotomine's foot, powerful enough to shatter rocks, landed, Rin's body slid to the side at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding it.

"what?"

Kirei Kotomine's pupils suddenly contracted.

Before he could react, Rin had already sprung up from the ground like a spring. Her speed and strength were completely different from before!

"What you taught me certainly won't kill you."

Rin's voice turned icy cold, and a simple, ancient-looking ceremonial short sword appeared in her hand. "But, using the murder weapon you used to kill my father is a different story!"

AZOTH sword!

Rin's figure transformed into a red afterimage, instantly breaking through Kirei Kotomine's defensive stance.

For the first time, Kirei Kotomine's Bajiquan failed to work; his prized combat instincts were completely unable to keep up with Rin's speed at this moment!

"Pfft-"

The sound of the sharp blade entering the flesh can be clearly heard.

The AZOTH sword pierced Kirei Kotomine's chest with precision and decisiveness, penetrating his heart.

Kirei Kotomine froze, looking down at the hilt of the sword against his chest in disbelief.

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

He didn't scream; instead, he let out a low, satisfied laugh. "So... that's how it is... so that's how it is, Rin..."

He looked up at the girl in front of him, her face streaked with tears but her eyes resolute, and a genuine, twisted yet relieved smile appeared on his face.

"This is...so enjoyable."

After uttering his last words, all the strength in his body vanished, and he slowly fell backward.

……

The heavy wooden door of the main house was pushed open from the inside, creaking.

Rin Tohsaka appeared in the porch light, dragging a tall body with one hand, the hem of her robe scraping against the floor with a dull slur.

She carelessly tossed Kirei Kotomine's body down the steps; her blue eyes held no tears, only a deathly stillness.

"Hey, you big blue dog over there."

Rin's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the clashing of swords and spears in the courtyard: "Stop fighting pointlessly."

She raised her hand, pointing her blood-stained fingertips at the corpse below the steps.

"Your Master is dead. Without a supply of mana, you will soon disappear."

In the center of the courtyard, the crimson shadow of the gun and the gleaming light of the blade suddenly separated.

Cú Chulainn and Sasaki Kojiro each took a few steps back, their chests heaving violently, their clothes soaked with sweat, and their bodies covered with fine wounds.

Cú Chulainn glanced at Kirei Kotomine's lifeless corpse, then turned his gaze back to Kojiro, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

"so what?"

He braced himself on the ground with the butt of his gun, panting heavily. "So what if I die? Servants are meant to disappear anyway."

"That's right."

The twig that Sasaki Kojiro had been holding in his mouth was nowhere to be seen. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the sleeve of his kimono, his eyes brighter than ever before. "To have a duel with a strong person like you before I disappear is the only way to make this trip worthwhile."

"Miss Rin, thank you for your kindness."

Kojiro nodded slightly to Rin. "However, please allow us to complete this duel. This is a warrior's request."

"Are you two... idiots?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at them, her brows furrowed. "For something like this, you'd even give up your very existence?"

"Little girl, you don't understand."

Cú Chulainn slung his spear over his shoulder, his crimson eyes burning with pure fighting spirit. "Some things are far more important than existence itself. To encounter an opponent worth risking everything for—this kind of opportunity doesn't come every Holy Grail War!"

"Yes."

Kojiro gripped the "Dried Pole" tightly again, its tip pointing directly at Cú Chulainn. "To have this battle as the end of my life would be the greatest honor."

"Come on, fierce hounds of Kuran! Leave no regrets!"

"Just what I wanted, you dragon-slaying swordsman! Show me your true skills!"

Seeing that the two people had no confusion in their eyes, only respect for each other and the light of fighting spirit, Rin Tohsaka fell silent.

She suddenly realized that this was no longer a battle between a Master and a Servant, but a dialogue across time and space between two souls standing at the pinnacle of their respective fields.

She took a deep breath, stepped back a few paces, and leaned against a pillar in the porch.

"As you please."

Her voice carried a hint of weariness, but more so a sense of relief: "Then let me witness the end of this duel."

"I can't ask for it!"

Cú Chulainn let out a deafening roar.

He lowered his body, unleashing all his magical power without reservation. An ominous crimson aura swirled around him and his demonic spear like flames.

A bloody smell filled the air, a sign that cause and effect had been distorted.

"Take this! This is the strike of my life!"

He raised the demonic spear high above his head, its tip aimed at Kojiro's heart, and shouted, "Pierce the Death Thorn Spear (GáEBolg)!"

At the same time, Sasaki Kojiro's body also calmed down.

Everything around him seemed to freeze; the sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, and even Rin Tohsaka's breathing all vanished in that instant.

In his world, all that remained was the heart that was destined to be pierced through.

He didn't put on any airs; he just stood there quietly.

However, in his perception, three perfect sword lights were simultaneously slashing towards Cú Chulainn's throat from three completely different dimensions.

Past, present, and future are all folded together under this sword.

"Secret Sword——"

His lips moved slightly, uttering those two words, "Yan Fan!"

There were no earth-shattering explosions, nor any dazzling light effects.

The crimson demonic spear and three invisible sword lights silently crossed paths in the space between the two.

Time seemed to stand still for a second at that moment.

Then, two clouds of blood mist exploded from their bodies simultaneously.

Cú Chulainn's magic spear pierced Kojiro's left shoulder, the immense force pinning him to the ground.

Kojiro's longsword left a deep, bone-revealing, fatal gash in Cú Chulainn's chest.

Both of them lost all their strength and collapsed limply to the ground.

Rin Tohsaka quickly walked to the two of them.

Although Sasaki Kojiro's injuries were severe, as her servant, he wouldn't die immediately as long as the supply of magic power remained.

As for Cú Chulainn, his condition was beyond repair.

"Hey, Lancer."

Rin crouched down, looking at the man covered in blood who was still smiling. "Your Master is dead, but you still have a chance. As long as you renew your contract with me, I can save you."

"Hahaha……"

Cú Chulainn chuckled laboriously a few times and shook his head. "Thank you, young lady. However, I have no intention of doing something as dishonorable as betraying my Master... even if he's a bastard priest."

His fingertips began to turn transparent, transforming into specks of golden light that drifted upwards.

"Hey, Assassin."

He turned to look at Kojiro, who was also unable to move, and said, "That was... very satisfying."

"Likewise, Lancer."

A satisfied smile appeared on Kojiro's face. "If there is an afterlife, let's fight again."

"Okay... I'll treat you to drinks then..."

Cú Chulainn's voice grew softer and softer as he leaned against the wall behind him, calmly watching his body gradually turn into light and dissipate in the night wind.

There was no resentment, no regret, only the heroic grandeur and composure of a hero's final moments.

Just as Cú Chulainn's last bit of spiritual energy completely merged into the night, several figures descended from the sky and landed steadily on the lawn in the courtyard.

Gu Ye, Saber, Archer, and Raiden Mei have finally returned.
