Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

"In this case, the only option is for the Einzbern family to withdraw early."

After hearing Irisviel's words, Kotomine Kirei knew that his negotiations with the other party were in vain.

Although he felt that his speech would not be accepted by the other party, the other party's rejection still made Kotomine Kirei feel a little disappointed.

Facing the silver-threaded eagle flying towards him, Kotomine Kirei took a stance of striking and drawing a bow.

He was not afraid of the sharp beak of the Silver Eagle at all, and hit the Silver Eagle's head with great force.

In a moment, the rapidly descending Silver Eagle no longer changed its falling posture, and Kotomine Kirei's fist directly hit the Silver Eagle's head.

"Well?!"

As soon as he hit the Silver Eagle's head, Kotomine Kirei felt something was wrong and made a surprised sound.

The swung fist was like hitting a silk thread, and the hit part immediately turned into an amorphous silver silk thread, which wrapped around his right fist like ivy.

Sensing that something was wrong, Kotomine Kirei immediately used his left hand to tear off the silver thread wrapped around his right hand, but the silver thread also wrapped around Kotomine Kirei's left hand.

The silk thread that originally took the shape of a giant eagle was like handcuffs, tightly binding Kotomine Kirei's hands.

Although his hands were bound by silk threads, Kotomine Kirei was still an agent who had walked down countless battlefields of life and death. He was not panicked in his heart, and he suddenly rushed towards Irisviel.

As long as he could get close to the other party, even if his hands were tied, he could still easily deal with the female magician of the Einzbern family who was not good at fighting.

Just a side kick when you get close enough will render the opponent incapable of movement.

"too naive!"

Irisviel shouted harshly. She also knew that she was no match for the other party at close range, so she immediately injected more magic power into the silver thread that bound Kotomine Kirei.

Dozens of silver threads stretched out in all directions like snakes, running in the void and quickly entangled the nearby tree trunks.

The silver thread tightly wrapped around the tree trunk, and as Irisviel continued to give orders to the silver thread, it suddenly tightened.

Kotomine Kirei's body, which was sprinting, tilted uncontrollably towards the tree trunk and fell.

The silver thread dragged Kotomine Kirei's body, and finally tied his hands firmly to a tree trunk that was thirty centimeters thick.

Seeing Kotomine Kirei's hands hung on the tree trunk and his body controlled, Irisviel breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the opponent's movements were blocked. Even if Kotomine Kirei possessed extraordinary strength, it was impossible for him to break free in his current position.

Unless the other party breaks the trunk or uproots the entire tree, it is impossible to break free from the restraints.

Originally, Irisviel wanted to use the silver thread to crush Kotomine Kirei's hands and break them, but she didn't expect that the other party's iron-like muscles were stronger than she had imagined.

If I hadn't continuously supplied magic power to strengthen the silver thread, the silver thread would have been very likely broken by the opponent.

Irisviel now had to keep channeling her magic power, and she had no time to free her hands to deliver a fatal blow to Kotomine Kirei.

The key to victory now lies in the fallen Miss Maiya.

Even though Kotomine Kirei's hands were tied to the tree trunk, he still had the ability to kick sideways.

Therefore, in order to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent, it is best to stand outside the attack range of the opponent's side kick and shoot Kotomine Kirei in the exposed head.

With Kotomine Kirei's current posture, he could not use his bulletproof sleeves to protect his head as he did just now.

“Ms. Maiya, please!”

Irisviel muttered to Maiya.

After hearing Irisviel’s voice, Maiya, who had a moment’s respite, finally felt her hands and feet regain feeling.

She crawled on the ground with difficulty, slowly approaching the Calico submachine gun on the ground.

The pain from the collision and compression of the broken ribs on the ground made Maiya wish she could faint right now.

"boom--!"

The tree trunk was shaking violently.

The deafening sound echoed through the forest.

This was not the sound of Maiya pulling the trigger of the Calico submachine gun, but the sound of Kotomine Kirei's feet stepping hard on the ground.

Alice had no knowledge of Chinese martial arts, and had no idea how terrifying Bajiquan was.

Boxing is not just about swinging your fists.

Bajiquan can multiply the power of the feet on the ground, the rotational force of the waist, and the twisting force of the shoulders, drive the strength of the whole body, and hit the fist with the instantaneous burst of power from the whole body.

By placing your fist close to the target and using only parts of your body other than your arms to exert force, you can also unleash a powerful striking force. This unique skill is called "Inch Power."

Kotomine Kirei was hitting the tree trunk with his fist with all his strength, with the back of his hand pressed against the bark.

One sound, two sounds, three sounds.

The sound became louder and louder, and the tree trunks shook more and more.

Today, victory or defeat is a test of perseverance measured in seconds.

Maiya finally crawled to the side of Calico Charge, gritted her teeth and picked up the gun on the ground, her hands trembling with weakness due to the pain, and she raised it up, trying to aim at Kotomine Kirei's head and shoot.

The moment Maiya finally raised her arm with one hand and aimed at Kotomine Kirei's head, the tree trunk that bound Kotomine Kirei let out its final scream, and the entire tree was broken by Kotomine Kirei's inch power.

After the tree fell, the silver threads binding Kotomine Kirei were broken.

After hearing the retort after her magic was broken, Irisviel fell to her knees helplessly.

"Da da da!"

The bullet flew towards Kotomine Kirei again.

After being freed from the restraints, he immediately blocked the bullet with his sleeves.

Then he quickly came in front of Maiya and kicked her in the abdomen with a side whip kick, completely depriving her of her fighting ability.

Kotomine Kirei glanced at Maiya, who was unconscious and motionless on the ground, and then stared at Irisviel, who was slumped on the ground, with dim and cold eyes.

Kotomine Kirei grabbed Irisviel's neck with one hand and lifted her up, watching her beautiful face become distorted and hideous because of the pain.

"Woman, you are not Saber's Master."

“It seems like the two of you challenged me to protect Emiya Kiritsugu, so—”

"Whose will is this?"

Kotomine Kirei had already noticed that Irisviel was not Saber's Master, and there were no traces of the Command Seals on her hands.

But even if the opponent is not Saber's Master, he is still a crucial existence in the Holy Grail War.

After all, she looks exactly like the "Winter Saint". Since she is not the Master, she is a puppet serving as the "Holy Grail Container".

It is absolutely foolish to send such an important chess piece to the front line and expose it to danger.

Kotomine Kirei wanted to know for sure whether the other party was acting according to Emiya Kiritsugu's will.

If the attack was carried out under Kiritsugu Emiya's orders, it would be a strategic failure to put this puppet with an important responsibility in danger just to delay time.

It would lower my opinion of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"The Jedi won't let you pass here!"

Even though Irisviel's breathing was suppressed and she twisted her body in pain, she still stared at Kotomine Kirei with eyes full of hatred, unwilling to answer Kotomine Kirei's questions.

"Even if it costs my life, I will stop you!"

Looking at Irisviel's determined eyes, Kotomine Kirei knew that he could not get any information from this woman.

He pulled out a new black key from his vestments, preparing to pierce Irisviel's abdomen and make her leave.

"Master, danger!"

Assassin's reminder sounded in Kotomine Kirei's mind.

At the moment Assassin reminded him, Kotomine Kirei noticed the whistling sound of wind behind him and immediately realized that a new attacker had arrived.

Sensing that something was wrong, Kotomine Kirei instantly threw Irisviel in his hand behind him and immediately turned sideways to check the situation behind him.

I saw a creature that looked like a silver metal robot, holding a green energy sword and slashing towards me quickly with a "big chop" gesture.

Mrs. Alice was like a big sandbag thrown up in the air, right between the two of them.
