I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

Kenneth snorted with a contemptuous nasal voice, and then asked.

"Then let me ask you. Why did you let Saber go?"

"that is because--"

"You had an overwhelming advantage more than once, but you failed to make a move twice in a row. Do you want me to use the command spell to control you?"

"..."

Diarmuid didn't give any answer this time, just kept silent.

"I'll say it again. I saw everything about the fight tonight. That's why I was able to ask the question. Lancer, do you think fighting is 'fun'?"

Seeing the silent knight bowing his head in front of him, Kenneth sneered and continued.

"Is it that happy? The battle with Saber. Are you not even willing to kill her?"

From the perspective of others, they may be full of praise for Diarmuid's bravery and combat skills.But from the point of view of Kenneth as a master, he was just brave and good at fighting but did not get any effect-this made him very angry.

The holy relic that was originally intended to be used to summon his favorite heroic spirit Iskandar was taken by his unscrupulous disciple Weber.Velvet stole it.But this Waver is completely out of proportion to Iskandar's power.In the end, he couldn't control his own Servant, which caused Iskandar to go berserk.It was because of Weber's incompetence that the situation at that time fell into a chaotic state, destroying Kenneth's Diarmuid's chance to win...Kenneth has never encountered so many difficulties.All of this was caused by Weber alone, but it was useless to be angry with a person who was not in front of him now.He could only keep this anger in his heart, and it would be the best to vent to him together when he faced Weber.For this "outside anger" Kenneth was quite practical, calm and ruthless.

But in contrast, Kenneth has no way to control the "inner anger".Anything that doesn't meet your expectations—even if it's just a little bit—is absolutely not allowed.This person who was born with smooth sailing and never encountered setbacks is very vulnerable to failure.

Therefore, for Kenneth now, the fault of Weber, the enemy who prevented him from winning, and the fault of Diarmuid, who could not bring him victory, made him more angry.

"...I am very sorry. Master."

Diarmuid, who noticed Kenneth's anger, bowed his head deeply and apologized in a serious voice.

"As a knight, I guarantee that I will definitely bring you Saber's head. Please trust me no matter what."

"There's no need to reassure me! It's a given!"

Kenneth, who was getting emotional, suppressed Diarmuid's apology with an angry voice.

"You swore to me. You will bring me the Holy Grail, Kenneth El-Melloi! In other words, you will wipe out all the other six Servants, which means the same thing. This is the whole battle The main premise! And what you are talking about now... is the oath of victory only to Saber? This is very different from the original agreement. Have you made a mistake?"

"—I think it was you who made the mistake? Rod Elmeloy."

It was neither Diarmuid nor Kenneth, a third voice.In the bedroom inside, a woman who heard the conversation between the Servant and the Master appeared from nowhere.

Although she has red hair that looks like a burning fire, she looks like an unusually cold and snowy beauty.She looked a little younger than Kenneth, she seemed to be only about 20 years old.At a glance, one can feel that she is a sensual and noble daughter.And the majestic aura emanating from her stern gaze makes her seem like a queen.

Seeing this, Tianyang shook his head helplessly, and was about to leave. Diarmuid is really sad. He died because of a woman in his previous life. Now he has become a heroic spirit but still can't get rid of this ending. It's really sad...

Not long after Tian Yang walked out, he heard the piercing fire alarm.

The fire alarm meant that a fire broke out, and the whole building was in a tense state. The staff evacuated the residents in the hotel as quickly as possible, and the people left the room in an orderly manner, and gathered in the square in front of the hotel for refuge.

Interestingly, more and more people left the hotel, and no sparks and black smoke could be seen outside the hotel.

Tianyang frowned slightly, and a sneer flickered across the corner of his mouth. The fire was so small, and it was arson. You could guess the reason after a rough guess, and I believe that Kenneth could guess it too.

Go ahead and do what you should do.Tianyang said so in his heart, and slowly walked towards a place.

After watching the hotel staff continue to be busy taking care of other tenants.Emiya Kiritsugu left the mixed crowd.The psychological hint just now, for ordinary people without the ability to resist magic, will not be seen through in a short time.

Go to a dark place some distance from the hotel.Kiritsugu took out the mobile phone in his pocket while confirming that no one else was looking around.Mobile phones are very popular among the people, and they once gave Kiritsugu considerable help.The simplest and most versatile radio communication device, and even holding it will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

First of all, it is necessary to contact Maiya who is in the monitoring position.

"Is it ready over there?"

"Nothing unusual. Always on call."

Maiya is located in a high-rise building that is still under construction diagonally across from the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel.There you can clearly see the room where Kenneth and the others are.This is the location designated by Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu sighed briefly, took out a cigarette case from his pocket with one hand, and pressed a set of numbers on the mobile phone with the other.

What Kiritsugu dialed was a set of empty numbers.But there was no response from the phone.

The modified communication loop is not connected to telephone signals.It is the detonator of the C4 bomb.

The explosion of the bomb was so small that the sound of the explosion didn't even reach the outside of the hotel.

However, what echoed in the night sky instead was the terrifying sound of reinforced concrete beginning to crumble and collapse.

Refugees who noticed anomalies around them.Seeing the towering buildings suddenly mutated, he cried out in horror.

"The hotel, the hotel collapsed!"

The high-rise hotel with a total height of more than 150 meters, maintaining an upright posture, collapsed as if being sucked in by the ground.Because all the outer walls collapsed inward, not a single piece of debris burst out, only the dust from the collapse obliterated the surrounding streets.Directional blasting - an advanced blasting technique mainly used to destroy large high-rise buildings.Due to the damage to the load-bearing walls and key pillars, the building is pressed inward due to its own weight.Use the least amount of explosives to achieve complete destruction.For Emiya Kiritsugu, who is proficient in all blasting techniques from ancient to modern times, he has a very unique understanding of this art of destruction.

All the buildings in this Fuyuki City that serve as the base of magicians are recorded on Emiya Kiritsugu's destruction list.The Hyatt Regency Fuyuki is one of them.Kiritsugu had obtained the blueprint of the building in advance, and in it he found the point where the bomb would be set.As long as you are fully prepared, the actual operation will not take even an hour.

Although the asylum seekers had moved as far as possible from the possible impact of the collapse of the building, they were still blown away by the dust from the collapse and fell into a panic.Kiritsugu lit the cigarette in his hand while looking at the tumultuous crowd while looking at a gap where the wind pressure was lower.

"I didn't even hear the sound of the explosion, and also minimized the influence of the surroundings. It's really worthy of Emiya Kiritsugu's handwriting. I guess he is the only one who can do this."

Seeing this scene, Tianyang couldn't help sighing.

Chapter 34 Kotomine Kirei and Hisau Maiya

An unnamed steel watchtower.At dawn when it is about to be completed, it will be called the 38th floor of the Fuyuki Center Building.

The construction work is more than halfway done, and only the outer layer remains unpacked.This complex high-rise commercial building, which will become a landmark building on the ground in the new capital of Fuyuki City in the future, is just an empty frame of reinforced concrete structure, and it is violently blown by the strong wind in the night sky.

Be it the street lamps on the ground or the stars in the sky, they all seem so distant and dim.In this void, Hisau Maiya knelt on one knee and remained motionless, the AUG sniper rifle with night vision device on her shoulder, and the muzzle of the gun rested on her upright left knee.

If once the magician Kenneth noticed Kiritsugu's plan and escaped through the window, Hisau Maiya who was in ambush here would attack him.But it turned out that this preparation was completely unfounded.

"Maiya, how's the situation over there?"

Kiritsugu's questioning voice on the ground came from Hisau Maiya's earphones.Holding the rifle in both hands, Maiya switched the mobile phone to earphone mode, freeing her hands.

"There was no movement until the last 32nd floor. The target did not escape from the hotel."

Maiya briefly reported the information she had observed to Kiritsugu into the microphone next to her mouth.Although she had just witnessed a devastating destruction, there was no trace of excitement in her voice.

The monitoring mission here is over.Maiya took out the bullets from the gun whose mission ended before getting a chance to appear, put it in the box, put the sniper rifle back on her back, stood up, and walked down the stairs.

And at this moment, she noticed something unusual.

It's not a general abnormality, but a more ambiguous change in the atmosphere.For soldiers who have been through battles for a long time, this killing intent can be clearly felt.

"--you have a keen sense, miss."

Behind Maiya who stopped, came a deep and stern male voice.The sound echoed in the empty reinforced concrete building, making it impossible to judge its origin.

Maiya didn't answer or ask questions.Just calmly, using her keen intuition to find the opponent's position, she took out the 9mm pistol from her waist.

As for the third person who exists in this place and discovers Maiya's existence—no matter who he is, he can become the target of Maiya's shooting just because of this reason.

"—Hmph, it's good to have such an awareness."

The man hiding in the dark said as if mocking.

Just then, something was thrown from the shadow of a certain pillar to Maiya's feet.

Maiya, who instantly pointed her gun at the object, realized that the object being thrown was not in danger, and quickly pointed her gun at the place where the object was thrown.But even so, Maiya was still observing the thrown object from the corner of her eye.

It is the corpse of a small animal.

bat.And judging from the CCD camera on the bat's belly, it should be the bat released by Maiya as a familiar.This is the one that was placed next to Fuyuki Church and lost news.

And the person who deliberately threw the bat's body over knew who it was without asking.And the other party didn't seem to continue to hide his meaning.Slowly, she came out from behind the pillar where she was hiding, exposing herself to Maiya's sight and gunpoint.

The majestic and oppressive man in front of him was dressed in a dark monk's uniform.Maiya knew him.

"Kotomine, Kirei..."

"Oh? This should be the first time I've met you. So how do you know who I am? Could it be your hunch."

Maiya realized her slip of the tongue and regretted it in her heart.

Even when facing Maiya's gun, Kirei continued to speak calmly without showing a trace of uneasiness.

"Since this is the case, then you must know a lot of other things, right? This is an excellent location to observe the 32nd floor of Fuyuki Hyatt. Maybe there are some important people living there?"

This time it was Maiya's turn to be silent.However, she was full of doubts in her heart. As one of the Holy Grail War Masters... and Kotomine Kirei who should have kept himself well hidden, why did he appear in such a place on purpose? What is his real purpose? Woolen cloth?

On the other hand, Kirei slightly turned his gaze to the outside——it landed on the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel, which had become a ruin.He stared blankly for a while, then heaved a long sigh.

"Even so—do we have to destroy the buildings? Can he still be considered a magus by using this method? Or should he not be considered a magus at all?"

"..."

This man——Maiya suddenly felt a little surprised—he knew it all.He knew about Emiya Kiritsugu.It was as if Emiya Kiritsugu knew Kotomine Kirei.

"I'm the only one chattering, miss. You can say something too—where is the man who was supposed to be here in your place?"

When asked about this, Maiya made a new judgment on Kotomine Kirei.The man in front of him must be killed.

Maiya's rapid-fire gunfire sounded.The power of the 9mm caliber called a military bullet.Although the lethality is good, it is not threatening enough.Therefore, in order to effectively kill the opponent, three consecutive shots to the abdomen are the key.Compared with the tiny fatal point that can kill instantly, it is more effective to attack the easy-to-hit position to seriously injure people.This is the iron rule of shooting as a killing technique.

But even so, what Maiya's bullet hit was not the internal organs under the monk's uniform, but the hard concrete ground.

Kotomine Kirei's evasive movement, even with incredible speed, would not be faster than the bullet's supersonic speed.Rather, he pre-judged Maiya's thinking before she pulled the trigger, and acted in advance.What should be amazed is Kotomine Kirei's judgment on tactics.

Pre-read the timing of Maiya's shooting, so as to avoid the firing of bullets.Even in the field of magic, this has surpassed the abilities of ordinary people.

Not only that--

The person who turned over and hid at that moment was not Kirei but Maiya.Her right hand was stained with blood, and the pistol that should have been held there fell to the ground with a metallic sound.And her surprised eyes were fixed on the pillar she had been leaning against just now.The sharp blade stuck on the pillar shone with a cold light.

The thin blade with a length of more than one meter is reminiscent of a weapon used in fencing, and the hilt is very short for a sword.This is a throwing weapon exclusively used by the Proctors of the Templar Church, and it is called the "Black Key".Just now, it was this that scratched the back of Maiya's right hand and shot down her pistol.While avoiding bullets from the pistol, Kirei threw this weapon.

Although it is a weapon thrown by hand, it has the power to pierce a reinforced concrete pillar.But even so, he just shot down Maiya's pistol, and didn't mean to take his life.Deliberately using such a large force is probably to not only seize the opponent's weapon but also destroy the opponent's fighting spirit.It's best to capture the other party alive - after all, Maiya hasn't answered the question Kirei just asked.

"Not bad at all. Pretty nimble."

After the offensive and defensive reversal, Kirei, who had completely taken the initiative, walked slowly and spoke leisurely.And there was another black key in his hands.The long blade of the Black Key is a semi-solid body made of magic power, so you only need to hold the small hilt when carrying it.Probably no one knows exactly how many black keys Kirei carried under that spacious monk uniform.

As one of the basic equipments of the Church's representative, the black key is very powerful, but it is very difficult to use. Those who can use its power proficiently must have a very strong technique.And such a rare master seems to be met by Maiya now.

Maiya is not a warrior but a soldier.So for her, there is nothing to brag about, only the analysis of the battle situation.Kotomine Kirei's combat ability was obviously completely superior to his own.In the present situation where there is neither equipment nor favorable terrain and strategy, it is wise to admit defeat.

"It seems that Kuro is not here... Was he sent to meet Irisviel and the others? Hehe... Although Emiya Kiritsugu is very cold-blooded, he still chose not to let Kuro who looked exactly like his daughter Is he too involved in his own personal plans?"

A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Tianyang's mouth, if Xiao Hei was here, he would have beaten Kotomine Kirei long ago.

But if Xiao Hei was here, Tian Yang would not have the chance to appear on the stage. Why didn't Tian Yang guess that Emiya Kiritsugu would have a little fatherly feeling towards Xiao Hei, so he came here.

"What's wrong Maiya? What happened?"

Kiritsugu's voice came from the earphone.The mobile phone in his pocket seemed to still be in touch with Kiritsugu on the ground.But—the current Maiya couldn't answer.He could hear Maiya's voice.The true purpose of that terrifying agent was not Maiya but Kiritsugu.Kirei's judgment that Maiya is Kiritsugu's subordinate, and everything is done according to Kiritsugu's instructions, has been fully verified here.
