Tribute to the Demon King

I once said that I want to take you away from the castle that is always winter.

I once said, take you to see the blooming flowers outside, to see the sparkling ocean.

He obviously promised you that he would take you out to see all of this...

...What an irresponsible agreement that is.

Kiritsugu's tears fell unconsciously, and the pitch-black will that had become desperate because of the illusion was melted again by Irisviel's gentleness.

"No, it's already fine. Be good."

Irisviel patted Kiritsugu's back affectionately, put her chin lightly on Kiritsugu's shoulder, and showed a motherly smile: "If you want compensation, give me the things I didn't feel Happiness... all that is left unfulfilled, give it all to Illya."

"Ellie..."

Kiritsugu finally understood the reason why Irisviel, who was so close to destruction, was able to smile so strongly.

A mother who places her hope of birth on her child has no fear.

That's why she smiled and faced her own demise without fear.

"Also, Kiritsugu..."

Irisviel whispered, concentrating all her magic power on her fingertips.

A gorgeous pure white was woven between her.The radiance enveloped Kiritsugu, completely eliminating his injuries.

"We must take that child..."

Before losing consciousness, Irisviel murmured: "Let that child, show me all the things I haven't seen... let her see... the cherry blossoms in spring, the white clouds in summer..."

Weak, she wanted to hug Kiritsugu tightly, but her hands gradually lost strength.

When she was about to fall backwards, Kiritsugu hugged her body forcefully and let her fall into his arms.

"……I see."

Solemnly, Kiritsugu made a soft promise to Irisviel who could no longer hear him.

Not as a machine...but as a father.

Chapter 84 The Last Order

Faster, faster, faster—

Wearing a skull mask and a black cloak, the creepy Assassin broke out at full speed and crossed a street in an instant.

But that's not enough.

accelerate.

be faster-

Your Excellency the Magician... My Master is already in danger right now.

Through the connection of the contract, he clearly felt that Kotomine Kirei had entered a state of near-death.

No, to be precise...Kotomine Kirei is dead.

According to ordinary people's common sense, Kirei, whose breathing stopped and heartbeat disappeared, has undoubtedly lost his life.

However, for magicians, this common sense sometimes does not apply.

Assassin has a skill called "Self Transformation".Assassins, who are inferior to other Servants in ability, can use this skill to connect other people's bodies to themselves to complement their own abilities.

Although he had already lost his life... Assassin could sense that the contract between Kotomine Kirei and himself had not yet terminated.As long as he gets the body of a magus with abundant magic power as a material, he can feed back the magic power through the contract and continue Kotomine Kirei's life.

If he can survive until he wakes up, relying on Master's excellent healing magic, he will definitely be able to heal himself.

Assassin has only one goal——

Yuanzang Mountain.

Lancer's Master, and Saber's Master are all there now.

There's no need to tangle with Archer.After being pierced through the abdomen by the dagger, there was no flaw at all, even if he used the Noble Phantasm, he might not be successful.

No... right now, I am not allowed to use the Noble Phantasm at all.Except for the magical power of traveling and self-reform, other magical powers must be given priority to the magician.

Although in terms of ordinary people's morality, Assassin cannot be called a good person anyway.But if you don't mention the ability as a heroic spirit, just as a subject, as a thing that can be used for dispatch, his quality is undoubtedly first-rate.

Not only is he completely loyal to his master's orders, he will not betray his master, even if he is at a disadvantage, and he will silently obey no matter how many unreasonable orders he makes.

This is him, an assassin who once abandoned everything as a human being, even lost face.

When it comes to what expectations he has for himself, Assassin only admits one thing.

——As a minister, be loyal.

Accompanied by black billowing smoke, blazing flames licked the surrounding walls.The scene can only be described as hell.

Archer in the red coat frowned and sighed deeply.
