Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

The moonlight shines through the clouds and falls on the Einzbern castle.

Just as Chen Yu expected, Kenneth was not a generous person. After settling his fiancée Sora, the arrogant Kenneth really brought Lancer to seek revenge on Kiritsugu Emiya and others.

Led by Kenneth, Chen Yu easily found the Einzbern Castle shrouded by multiple layers of illusions and magic barriers through the bird surveillance.

After watching Kenneth enter the Einzbern Castle, a dozen birds chose to disperse and stop on the treetops near the Einzbern Castle, acting as sentinels to monitor the war taking place in the Einzbern Castle.

Without Caster causing trouble as in the original work, Lancer and Saber at this time did not leave their respective masters.

Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid can automatically search for enemies by sensing fluctuations and heat sources in the air, so finding Emiya Kiritsugu is a piece of cake.

In this case, it is unknown whether Kiritsugu Emiya can defeat Kenneth as in the original work.

Suddenly, bursts of roars came from the Einzbern Castle, echoing through the night sky like thunder.

Just like the strategy Kenneth had formulated before, soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings.

After Kayneth found Emiya Kiritsugu through the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, Lancer immediately fought with Saber again.

The invisible blade and the double guns clashed again, and the violent storm ravaged everything in the corridor.

They were like the director of a demolition office, and every clash of weapons cracked the floor and tore the walls.

After just a few exchanges of blows, the conference room where Emiya Kiritsugu was located was reduced to ruins.

In a small room, a spear is not as flexible as a sword.

Relying on the terrain advantage, Saber, whose left hand was injured, fought Lancer to a temporary draw.

While Saber and Lancer were fighting, two beauties, one in black and one in white, sneaked out from the other end of the Einzbern Castle and quickly and silently ran out of the castle.

Originally, Irisviel didn't want to leave the castle, but in Emiya Kiritsugu's opinion, Saber alone was not enough to protect everyone. Instead of letting Saber be distracted during the battle and have to protect Irisviel and Maiya, it would be better for her to stay and fight against Kayneth and Lancer.

Having finally met Kiritsugu, Irisviel had to separate again, which made her feel very uneasy.

But Irisviel also knew that if she stayed with Kiritsugu now, she would only become a burden.

All he could do now was to quickly leave Einzbern Castle and wait for an opportunity to reunite with Kiritsugu.

Looking back, this was also the first time I left Saber's protection when I set foot on this land.

She once again realized the importance of Saber.

Although it was Kuuu Maiya who followed him instead of Saber, she could not give him the same sense of security as Saber.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Maiya, but every time he looked at Maiya, he always had a strange feeling.

It was like a part of something I liked was taken away by Maiya.

No one had ever told Irisviel how to deal with this delicate emotion.

In order to avoid being noticed by other magicians, the two people walking in the forest did not have any conversation. The two silent people just walked quietly.

When the treetops obscured the castle and Einzbern Castle could no longer be seen from here, Irisviel heaved a sigh of relief.

This place is already a safe area, there is no need to keep quiet.

Irisviel wanted to talk to Maiya, but Maiya was not the type to chat in a tense atmosphere. She continued to follow the orders given by Emiya Kiritsugu and continued to move forward attentively, vigilantly scanning the movements ahead.

Just as Irisviel was about to say something, new alarms began to flash in her mind.

Through the magic barrier that covered the entire primeval forest, Irisviel discovered that there was a new invader in the forest, and he was not far ahead.

Seeing Irisviel stop, Maiya also stopped immediately.

"What's the matter, ma'am?"

"There is a new intruder ahead, a tall man with short hair and wearing a black cassock."

Irisviel immediately described the general appearance of the new invader.

After hearing Irisviel’s description, Maiya showed rare anger and anxiety.

"Yes... Kotomine Kirei..."

Irisviel immediately realized that she must not let Kotomine Kirei go to the castle. At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu was in the middle of a battle and would not allow new variables to join the battlefield.

The two of them began to prepare for battle in tacit understanding. Maiya used the Calico submachine gun to deal with the emergency head-on, while Irisviel used illusion to interfere with Kotomine Kirei's perception.

When they first met, Kotomine Kirei was indeed caught off guard by the sudden attack.

But as an agent of the Holy Church, he is unexpectedly sensitive to murderous intent.

Facing the rain of bullets that exploded like thunder, Kotomine Kirei was still able to accurately judge the current situation and dodge.

After being hit by three waves of enemy bullets and finding himself unable to identify the enemy's position, he immediately realized that he was disturbed by the barrier and fell into an illusion.

So after being hit by a bullet in the back, Kotomine Kirei immediately fell to the ground and chose to play dead.

After seeing Kotomine Kirei fall, Maiya stood up from the sniper point, aimed the Calico submachine gun at the dead Kotomine Kirei, and approached him cautiously, preparing to check whether the other party was really shot dead.

“Ms. Maiya, don’t come near!”

As soon as Irisviel, who had sensed that this was a trap, warned him, Kotomine Kirei immediately swung his arm and threw out a black key hidden in his arm.

The black key directly tore Maiya's calf, and the severe pain made her lose the best opportunity to move and fight.

In an instant, Kotomine Kirei jumped up and rushed towards Maiya like a galloping wild boar.

After Maiya realized she had been tricked, she pulled the trigger again.

Bullets spurted out of the Calico submachine gun again, but Kotomine Kirei did not dodge the rain of bullets. He just protected his head with both hands and continued to charge resolutely.

Kotomine Kirei's robes were all made of thick Kevlar fiber, and were covered with protective amulets specially made by the church's agents to prevent bullets and curses.

Even at close range, the bullet still could not penetrate the vestment.

His extremely well-trained muscles were enough to protect his bones and internal organs from the impact of bullets.

After realizing that Kotomine Kirei was not afraid of bullets, Maiya immediately threw away the Calico submachine gun and pulled out a wilderness survival knife from her thigh to fight him.

Just like a bulletproof vest can protect against bullets but cannot protect against scratches from swords.

Facing Kotomine Kirei who was wearing a "bulletproof vest", throwing away the submachine gun and choosing close combat was undoubtedly another option to survive in an emergency.

But Maiya forgot that engaging in close combat with Kotomine Kirei was no different from giving away a head.
