Magician in Type-Moon

It is not an origin for the individual, but an origin for existence.

— Cut open, connect.

The origin of the person named Emiya Kiritsugu!

It is a manifestation of "cutting off" and "combining".

Kiritsugu Emiya murmured, the mysterious shard in his hand flashing with a black and red light, as if it could cut through everything.

As time goes by, the flowers that bloom today will wither tomorrow.

High-speed attacks and movement are achieved by accelerating the flow of time.

Invisibility is achieved by slowing down and halting physiological rhythms.

This is how "inherent time control" is applied.

Based on this power that has been sublimated into a Noble Phantasm, this time the control of time requires no burden.

Although the magic power within him had been completely worn away by the gluttonous power that clung to the Noble Phantasm Original Sin used by Gilgamesh.

However, Kirei Kotomine's use of magic also gave him a lot of inspiration.

I have two Command Seals left in my hand, that's enough!

In that instant, Kiritsugu Emiya's physical strength had reached a level close to that of a Servant.

This was originally intended as a trump card to win the Holy Grail, but its use at this time serves two purposes.

The first task is to complete the mission given by the Counter Force and help Chaldea resolve this Holy Grail War.

Kirei Kotomine, as Gilgamesh's new Master, can now be considered a stumbling block on Chaldea's path forward.

If we can deal with him here, we'll have accomplished our mission.

Suddenly, time within Kiritsugu Emiya's body changed drastically.

His figure vanished from the wine cellar in an instant, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch a trace of him.

The moment Kiritsugu Emiya activated his Noble Phantasm, Kirei Kotomine instantly lost his lock on Kiritsugu Emiya.

The rigorous training he underwent gave Kirei Kotomine the rudiments of intuition—listening energy.

When kung fu reaches the level of a master, one can predict the opponent's next move in the instant their wrists touch, without relying on sight to capture the opponent's figure.

He subconsciously prepared for the attack, gathered his strength, and then threw a punch.

The target is just three steps away from the boxer; you can't see him, but he's right there!

Contender roared again.

Kirei didn't have time to dodge, nor did he have a chance to draw his black key.

From the very beginning, Kirei had no intention of dodging.

He used his footwork to keep Kiritsugu close at hand, while simultaneously activating a Command Spell to enhance his physical abilities—

It accelerates reflex speed and increases the instantaneous explosive power of the right biceps, brachioradialis, and pronator teres muscles.

He didn't have time to strengthen the bulletproof monk's robe, so he could only rely on his martial arts skills.

Before the Contender fired, Kirei had already raised his right wrist.

The forearm, transformed into a demonic weapon, drew a spiral, producing a sound like wind breaking, its power almost creating a whirlwind.

The fist, thrown with lightning speed, became entangled with a bullet traveling at an initial velocity of 750 meters per second. However, the bullet continued to advance while burning through the monk's robe, intertwining with the hardened wrist and producing a strange sound like a grinding machine.

Monster—there's no other adjective that comes to mind.

Kirei Kotomine's fighting ability might still be enough to fight a Dead Apostle single-handedly.

But it only reached the level of a Dead Apostle.

The Contender held in his right hand roared as it unleashed a torrent of bullets.

At the same time, the mysterious shard in his left hand was swung down in an instant.

All the previous attacks were deceptive strikes; only this one blow will determine the outcome.

The silver light flashed repeatedly, and the mysterious, continuous attacks were so fast that ordinary people could not see them clearly, leaving only afterimages like lightning in their eyes.

Stab! !

In the clash between the dagger and the force of the fist.

no doubt!

Even with the enhancement of Command Spell magic and the special material of the monk's robe, it was still unable to withstand the combo attack of the Noble Phantasm release.

Kirei Kotomine's right hand, along with the fabric of his monk's robe, was neatly cut off in an instant.

The smooth cross-section makes it hard to believe that it is a cut in flesh; it's almost like blood tofu.

Blood spurted out instantly, mixing with the red wine on Kiritsugu Emiya's body.

It emitted an indescribable smell.

Having severed Kirei Kotomine's source of magic, the next step is to plunge the dagger into his heart.

His movements were faster than his thoughts; the dagger, a blur of motion, pointed directly at Kirei Kotomine's chest...

when!!--

Suddenly, a black whirlwind wrapped around Kiritsugu Emiya; it was Angela Manuel in Assassin form.

The dagger blocked the mysterious, sharp thrust, and his entire body wrapped around Kiritsugu Emiya.

Lock it firmly in place, so it can't move!

"Master, I'm late..."

Before Kirei Kotomine could even show a surprised expression, the words had barely left his mouth.

Using Kiritsugu Emiya as a fulcrum, Angra Mainyu delivered a backflip kick to Kirei Kotomine's chest.

Struck by the sudden, tremendous force, Kirei Kotomine was sent flying backward, smashing through several of the barely holding-up liquor cabinets until he finally came to a stop after making intimate contact with the wall.

"Oops, I didn't control my strength well, I accidentally knocked out Master..."

Angra Mainyu was getting a little into character at this point.

In his mind, since he was now using the identity of an Assassin, it could already be considered as role-playing.

Naturally, one must follow the patterns of Assassin's moves.

We will not make a move until the very last moment.

As for rescuing Kirei Kotomine, it was merely to play the role of a loyal servant.

That kick?

Isn't this the simplest way to get your "Master" out of danger right now?

Tell me, has Kirei Kotomine left the battlefield yet?

Kicking someone unconscious can also be explained by not controlling the force properly.

At this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya glanced indifferently at Kirei Kotomine, who had been kicked away. At this moment, Superman's hearing had clearly revealed Kirei Kotomine's condition.

He then stopped paying attention to what was happening there.

Faced with Angra Mainyu's hostage situation, Kiritsugu Emiya did not resist, but only said listlessly:

"I have presented my terms. Are you willing to reach this deal?"

"Are you talking to me?" Angra Mainyu tilted his head and looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, without giving a direct answer.

"There's no need to worry about leaks. The barrier-like artifact inside me can block the detection of me by the suppressing force."

Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at Angra Mainyu, understanding his concerns, paused, and then continued:

"Since you can't make the decision, let the person behind you do it..."

These words immediately triggered Angra Mainyu's sensitive skin.

How did this guy know?

Or is he just testing me?

What should I do?

Or just kill him directly; that's what the mission instructions are like over there anyway.

There should be no problem?

That’s it!

Assassin's Noble Phantasm was activated immediately.

The bandages wrapped around his arm were untied, and his crimson left hand touched Kiritsugu Emiya's chest. Suddenly, a heart made of ether appeared out of thin air.

The next step is to crush it!

Chapter 160 The Death of Kirei Kotomine

Faced with Angra Mainyu's actions, Kiritsugu Emiya simply watched coldly without saying anything more.

This deal was proposed unilaterally by him.

It doesn't matter if we're not recognized; at most, we'll have to change our strategic plans.

Death is not necessarily the end of this world.

Just as Satan's left hand grasped that heart, it was about to crush it.

A magnificent, layered sound suddenly emanated from the air.

"I accept this deal."

Angra Mainyu, in his Assassin form, paused, startled, and stopped what he was doing.

He hadn't expected that guy would dare to show his face, especially in front of the agent of the restraint force.

Furthermore, the Chaldeans are currently right above them; if they are discovered, all their efforts will be in vain.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the deal had been reached.
