I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

A watertight mercury film is wrapped around Kenneth. Although its thickness is less than one millimeter, the tension of the mercury film can reach the same strength as a steel plate under the power of magic power. The rain of bullets emitted by the CLAYMORE mines didn't even hit Kenneth, but all of them were bounced back to various parts of the hall, only to smash the facilities in the city to pieces.

This is the automatic defense mode of the moon spirit marrow liquid.This pre-set magic can automatically respond when Kenneth is threatened, and instantly open a powerful defensive membrane.That kind of reaction speed can be defended even with bullets.When the Hyatt Hotel collapsed, what protected Kenneth and Sola was also the defense system created by this month's marrow fluid.The freely transformable mercury serves as a complete weapon that integrates offense and defense.It can be used as both Kenneth's sword and Kenneth's armor.

"Ah."

After removing the protective film, Kenneth couldn't help but sneered at the vulgarity of the mechanism just now after seeing the tragic situation around him.Even Kenneth, who didn't know much about military weapons, now understood that what attacked him just now was not a magic attack, but just a normal weapon using explosives.

In Kenneth's mind, the truth of last night's unpleasant experience finally became a little clear.

It can be known without analysis.Among the remaining groups of Masters, only Artoria's Master Einzbern family wanted to eliminate Kenneth before anyone else.However, as a magi from the prestigious Einzbern family, how could he use such an obscene method?Kenneth, who is also proud of his famous magic family, couldn't believe this fact anyway.

But now he couldn't help but not believe it.The blaster who used despicable means to destroy Kenneth's workshop last night is now lurking in this city.

"Have you fallen to this level? Einzbern."

Kenneth muttered, more of a sigh than anger.It's probably not Arturia's Master who made such a despicable method, it should be a despicable guy they hired somewhere.But even that is a very depraved thing.On this sacred battlefield, how can they hire irrelevant guys? This is absolutely unforgivable.

"Okay, then this is not a duel, but my crusade against you."

After regaining his killing intent, Kenneth walked deeper into the enemy formation.

Through the CCD camera installed in the hidden part of the hall, Emiya Kiritsugu completely observed the power of the Moon Spirit Essence that Kenneth is proud of.

Manipulating mercury through spells to achieve the purpose of automatic defense, although I have heard of it before, but I never thought that the real thing would have such a powerful ability.Even CLAYMORE mines' shock waves are not as fast as their defenses, and if that is the case, you can't count on guns to win.

Although Kiritsugu was very annoyed in his heart, he had to admit that the magician did possess top-notch skills.Speaking of which, he should have known this when he knew that Hyatt's organization was not successful.

In other words, this was the opponent Kiritsugu had to face as a magician.

In order to find the enemy lurking in this castle, Kenneth must be searching all the rooms on the first floor one by one.Right now Kiritsugu is at the deepest part of the second floor.If you start to act immediately, there should still be enough time to choose a place that is conducive to the battle.

While analyzing the castle map in his mind, Kiritsugu walked out of the house towards the gate, his footsteps stopped.

From the keyhole of the gate hung a drop of quicksilver like a spider's silk.Even though it was only slightly, Kiritsugu could still see the mercury dripping down while leaving silver tracks on the surface of the door.

The moment Kiritsugu saw it, the mercury drop suddenly stopped falling, and then exited from the keyhole along the original trace like a living creature, and then disappeared.

"I see. Automatic search?"

Just when Kiritsugu was startled, a silver light suddenly penetrated under the carpet of the room he was in.

In an instant, the ground in the middle of the room was cut into a circular plate and fell to the bottom of the first floor.Then a silver tentacle jumped up from the circular hole.

The new form of the Moon Spirit Essence that appeared in front of Kiritsugu was like a metallic jellyfish.Countless tentacles grabbed the openings in the ground, and the base of the tentacles spread out like an umbrella, expanding into a flat dish-shaped platform in the middle.And standing on that platform with a smile is none other than Kenneth.

"Finally let me find you. Little mouse..."

Before the complacent Kenneth instructed Quicksilver to attack, Kiritsugu had already pulled out the short machine gun from the holster at his waist and started shooting.

The Yueling marrow fluid that reacted immediately formed a protective film in front of Kenneth.Block all the bullet rain power of 9ram.Only a few seconds passed before the fifty rounds of bullets were ejected into the air.

However, in just a few short seconds, Kiritsugu was given sufficient time to chant the mantra.

"Time- alter-double-accel (inherent time-alter-double-accel)!"

With the chanting mantra.The magic power in Kiritsugu's body began to surge rapidly.

"Scalp!"

At the moment when Kiritsugu's bullets were fired.Kenneth pronounced death.

Following his words, the two mercury whips flew towards the prey in front of them in a left and right pinching posture.

"Um!?"

It was Kenneth who was amazed.

At the moment when the two silver whips were about to hit the target, Kiritsugu dodged the attack of the silver whips with an almost unbelievable speed, and quickly jumped under the Moon Spirit Essence where Kenneth was standing. The hole in the floor cut by the mercury blade.

Kiritsugu's speed was so fast that even his eyes couldn't see his actions clearly.No matter how you think about it, this should not be a physical skill that ordinary people can display.Although Kenneth felt a little careless just now, he was not too surprised by the sudden change in front of him.After all, this is an unreasonable battle between magicians.It is not surprising that even the little mice among them have supernatural abilities.

"Oh? Do you have a little bit of magic too?"

Although there was a slight smile on Kenneth's face, there was already a killing intent in his heart.Ordinary rat or not, he's still a scumbag who uses dirty tricks even if he's been taught a little bit of magic.Such insults to magicians cannot be tolerated.

"Chop Suey makes you know what it's like to die."

Kenneth flipped the lapel of his overcoat and jumped downstairs.Then, the moon spirit marrow fluid that removed the shape of the jellyfish also slowly fell down.

"ire:sanctio! (Track and kill)"

After receiving the order, the mercury flew out with its thin tentacles.Start searching the entire first floor again.Quicksilver immediately determined the target's location.Kenneth, who was following the trail behind him, had a sadistic smile on his lips.

Kiritsugu, who was shuttling through the corridor, was swallowed by the side effects of using magic all over his body.

The technique he used to evade Kenneth's attack just now was not a basic magic that simply strengthens the body.Rather, it has a higher range of applications, and of course it also has very strong side effects of advanced magic.

Being able to cut off the time in a specific space from the flow of time in the outside world, in a sense, time manipulation can be regarded as a kind of inherent enchantment. Although it is classified as the scope of great magic, it definitely does not belong to non-reproducible magic category.Compared with the time modification of reversing causality and changing the past, this is just a time adjustment magic that stagnates the past time and speeds up the future time, so it is not a very difficult and impossible technology.The only issues that need to be considered are the scale of the enchantment and the time range that needs to be adjusted.

As the source of the Kiritsugu family, the Emiya family has been seeking research on time manipulation magic for generations.The magic seal that exists on Kiritsugu's back inherits the research results of generations.But the magic power consumed and the rituals required to activate this kind of magic can be regarded as the level of great magic.So it can only be used as a strategic preparation.For Kiritsugu, who needed tactical preparations to survive on the battlefield, this was originally a legacy of little use.

However, in order for Kiritsugu to make the most of the time manipulation ability he inherited.I have created a set of application methods that can flexibly use this magic on a very small scale.

In order to be able to set up the inherent barrier more easily, there is a means to control the range of the barrier only within the operator's body.Although it is impossible to completely isolate the physical body from the outside world, it can minimize the impact of the outside world on the body.And in this smallest-scale barrier, just a few seconds of adjustment is the inherent time control of Emiya Kiritsugu's original magic.

For example, during the duel with Kenneth just now, Kiritsugu doubled the time required for the blood flow in his body, the burning of hemoglobin, and the movement of muscle tissue.After simply judging the attack trajectory of the Mercury Whip, all that was left was to use a quick reaction speed to evade.After Kiritsugu accelerated the time in his body, he was able to display physical skills that were impossible for ordinary people.

And the biggest problem with this magic is that it will bring a considerable burden to the body.

The technique of time adjustment will inevitably cause an error in the time inside and outside the barrier, and after the barrier is lifted, this deviation will be immediately corrected by natural forces.That is, the adjustment of the world itself.Of course, this kind of adjustment can only be made in the part where the error occurred, that is, in Kiritsugu's barrier, his body.Adjusted to match the normal time flow.

Compared with Kenneth's magic, Kiritsugu's magic is neither gorgeous nor powerful.However, this does not mean that the current Kiritsugu has no chance of winning at all.Because Kenneth's best chance to defeat Kiritsugu, that is, the first blow just now, has been missed.Although Kenneth himself may not have realized it, but for Kiritsugu this was his biggest mistake.He had already exposed his magic, and gave Kiritsugu the opportunity to analyze it.After that, it's hunting time for the magician killer.

While running, Kiritsugu refilled the bullets in the machine gun. The bullets in the Contender were also replaced with ordinary bullets.It's still a little early to use the final kill.In order to be able to kill the opponent with one blow, it is necessary to further provoke Kenneth.

A Mercury Dress that is both offensive and defensive, and has the ability to track down enemies.But Kiritsugu still saw a flaw in the magic with these three advantages.

Author's message:

PS: In the next two weeks before October, there will be three changes from Monday to Friday, and four changes on Saturday and Sunday.

Chapter 47 Kotomine Kirei's Invasion

The first is its ability to search for enemies.

Kiritsugu stopped abruptly at the corner ahead, and then hid behind the pillar.Quicksilver was quietly approaching not only from behind him, but throughout the entire corridor.I'm afraid that now Quicksilver's tentacles are spreading a big net, and they have blocked all Kiritsugu's escape routes.

Liquid metal is used as a search tool. What is the method for it to transmit information? There are no specialized perception devices such as vision, smell, taste, etc., so Kenneth can transform it freely.So these ways can be ruled out. ．

The most likely thing is through the sense of touch, but when I was found on the second floor, I had already been identified without any contact with mercury.

However, assuming that mercury is very sensitive to touch, it should also be possible to judge when there are fluctuations in the air.It should also be able to sense the heat source of the temperature change.

Staring at the quicksilver net that surrounded him from all directions, Kiritsugu smiled slightly.That guy has no eyes.So as long as the heartbeat, breathing, and body temperature are faked, you can completely make your own existence transparent.

"Time- alter-Triple-stagnate (inherent time-alter-triple-stagnate)!"

With the chanting of the incantation, Kiritsugu's vision suddenly became extremely bright.

It's not that the outside world has changed, it's just his own illusion.When Kiritsugu's optic nerve confirmed the image, his retina received three times more light than usual.

The time control this time is just the opposite of the high-speed body technique just now.Kiritsugu slowed down his physiological functions to one-third of normal.His breathing became sluggish, and his heartbeat slowed to a barely perceptible rate.Moreover, due to the cessation of metabolism, the body temperature of the whole body also quickly disappeared, cooling down to a level that was not much different from the outside temperature.

In front of Kiritsugu, who was as still as a sculpture, the quicksilver flowed abnormally rapidly and in a panic.Sure enough, the current Quicksilver could no longer feel any Kiritsugu's aura.Kiritsugu's shallow breathing and slow heartbeat are mixed with the murmurs of nature, and Mercury's biological reaction to Kiritsugu's current body is no longer comprehensible by human standards.

After judging that there was no sign of the enemy at present, the searching Mercury Network quickly evacuated according to the original route.Then came the sound of Kenneth's footsteps on the marble floor.Kenneth, who thought there was no one here, was walking over unsuspecting

"Relgase-alter!"

The brightness of vision and the sensitivity of hearing returned to normal in an instant.Kiritsugu's heart also began to beat extremely fast, and the blood vessels all over his body were in pain as if they were about to burst.The blood flow in his body is being adjusted at three times the speed.In fact, somewhere on his body there must be a bruise from internal bleeding from a ruptured capillary.

But before his body could adjust, Kiritsugu had already jumped out from behind the pillar.When Kenneth just walked into the corridor, he realized that the magician in front of him was only about 1.5 meters away from him, and the short machine gun in his left hand fired rapidly.

Although Kenneth was taken aback, the Moon Spiritual Essence still displayed his ability very accurately and faithfully this time.The defensive film that opened instantly blocked all the power of the 9mm bullets again.Everything is the same as the reproduction of the scene just now.

"Idiot. It's all a silly little trick!"

Although he was caught off guard by the sudden attack, Kenneth, who was hiding in the defensive membrane, couldn't help laughing when he found that this attack was the same as the first time.But he didn't know that the opponent he laughed at had already seen the weakness of automatic defense.

Just before the bullets of the short machine gun were completely fired, Kiritsugu's empty right hand had already pulled out the Contender and fired a shot at the center of the mercury film that had unfolded into a semicircle.

The moon spirit marrow liquid has been transformed into the best state for defending against machine gun fire.But the speed of the Contender bullet is more than 9 times that of the [-]ram bullet, and its destructive power is equivalent to seven times that of the latter.

The speed of the Moon Spiritual Marrow Liquid mainly comes from the pressure, and Kiritsugu has completely seen through this point.Although lumpy mercury can quickly expand into a thin film under pressure, it is impossible to quickly change back from the thin film state through pressure.This is also the limit of fluid mechanics.

Therefore, when faced with a sudden powerful attack, Mercury cannot react quickly to form a strong defense system.

The surface of the mercury film, as smooth as a mirror, was pierced with a large hole.Judging from Kenneth's mournful cry from inside, the Contender bullet that pierced through it must have hit the target.

However, for the target hidden behind the obstacle, it is impossible to even aim, so it is very lucky to be able to hit it, and there is no way to expect that this attack will cause fatal injuries to the opponent.

Kenneth's mourning also quickly turned into an angry scolding, and then

"Scalp!"

With a roar full of killing intent, Quicksilver delivered a killing blow.

Facing the silver whip whistling in front of him, Kiritsugu could deal with it calmly.This time, even the intrinsic time control does not have to be activated.Now he is more than ten meters away from Kenneth.That much distance is enough.

Kiritsugu dodged the quicksilver blade's attack, although it seemed unbelievable, but the quicksilver blade only cut Kiritsugu's clothes corner.

The attack of the moon spirit marrow liquid can grasp its attack characteristics as long as it is seen once.Although it seems to be a very fast attack, it is relatively monotonous.

When mercury becomes the shape of a whip, it is the root that controls its attack at a very fast speed, while its end basically has no attack power.The power of the blade is basically formed by centrifugal force, and for Kiritsugu who is very experienced in close combat, the trajectory of this attack is very easy to judge.This is also characteristic of mercury manipulation by pressure.Only the relatively large part can fully exert its power, and the power of the tip will gradually weaken.The quicksilver tip that protrudes far from the main body to search for the enemy does not have the agility of the slashing whip, and Kiritsugu has already analyzed its weakness.

Before the opponent continued to attack, Kiritsugu had already started to escape.It would be great if the opponent came after him right away, but if the opponent didn't come after him but stopped to deal with the gunshot wound just now, it meant that the provocation just now was not enough.

The blow that pierced through the protective film just now was the last blow at the same time as the first blow.After discovering the power of the Contender, which is completely different from the short machine gun, the self-defense of Moon Spirit Essence should become stronger.In future attacks, no matter what level of defense they have, they will be able to withstand the power of the Contender.Kenneth will definitely mobilize all his magic power to strengthen Quicksilver's defense.

If that's the case then it's not good.

Enduring the pain all over his body, Kiritsugu replaced the empty clips of the Contender while running.This time, load the magic bullet into the chamber.

In order to defend against Kiritsugu's next blow, Kenneth will definitely use all his magic power.It was just to lure him to be alert, the first strike just now used ordinary bullets.

Kenneth's grave has been dug and the next step is to wait for him to fall into it and bury him with his own hands.

Magician Hunter, this time he showed his original strength.

----

At the same time when Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth were fighting, Irisviel, who was retreating to the depths of the forest, was struck by lightning, and her whole body became stiff.

Of course, she wasn't really hit by lightning, let alone affected by the gunshots. She appeared in such a state because a new enemy broke into the enchantment.

"lady?"
