Matou Shinji Returns from Infinite

As if to reveal all the troubles of these years.

If it was a normal Emiya Kiritsugu, he would definitely not listen patiently.

After all, Emiya Kiritsugu was neither a hero nor a samurai, but a killer.

He did not have the courage and arrogance to compete with others with his life.

He is a coward.

So his goal is to be careful, with minimal risk, to secure victory and the right to survive.

"Caster killed my followers, but didn't kill me. He said, my life can't end here, but in his eyes, I'm already a dead person. What's the point of letting a dead person like me wander around the world? Meaning? I didn't understand it before, but now I understand."

Unspeakable thoughts spread in my mind.

Kotomine Kirei's nerves were always being stirred.

He recalled the conversation with that person ten minutes ago.

Kotomine Kirei had no fear of death.

Death is an opportunity to get answers——I thought so, but it turns out that even if death is imminent, looking back cannot get the answers I want.

What remains is just a pity

Maybe it was because he couldn't bear to feel sorry for himself like this.

Caster spared his life and told himself something about Emiya Kiritsugu.

Including the current state of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Being deprived of your mind, you are like a corpse walking forward in a daze, just like me in the past, but what I want to see is not the result."

Kotomine Kirei said slowly.

As if trying to suppress anger.

He stretched his hands behind his waist.

When it reappeared, there were three more cross-shaped ornaments between the fingers.

But that's just what ordinary people think.

When magic power was injected into it, three sharp blades stretched out.

It made his left hand look like the fangs of a saber-toothed tiger.

"I am eager to find the answer from you, but obviously I have turned my back on the way of life that you believe in. In this case, let me wake you up. This is also a portrayal of myself, the supreme self-salvation that I have always pursued!"

As the standard armament of the agent, the black key, which can build a sharp blade by injecting magic power, looks different from the appearance, and is more inclined to projection than close-to-slash.

but--

The words spoken from the heart become the original driving force.

It prompted Kotomine Kirei to sprint towards the goal.

The tall and oppressive body seems to be extremely fast when moving.

Like a phantom, it almost flew close to the ground.

"..."

Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to sense the crisis.

There is no need to think about how to react to the enemy.

Or... he had already made a decision when he realized the existence of 'Kotomine Kirei'.

Move your left hand back and place it in a blind spot where the opponent cannot see.

Right hand draws gun and shoots.

Although the body of the pistol produced by the German military factory was black, when he held it in his hand, the color became even darker.

Is it an illusion?

No.

That is the enhancement of magic.

The rate of fire of the bullet was three times as high as usual, which was significantly more than the weapon would allow.

Even, the frequency of shooting is very different.

The seven bullets were fired almost at the same time.

Blocking the void in the shape of a product, even if the enemy intends to escape, it cannot be done.

Of course, Kotomine Kirei would not do this either.

There was no concept of 'backward' in his mind.

He used to have no sense of battle, but now he feels a strange satisfaction from it.

'Is this how Emiya Kiritsugu got the answer? '

Emotions intensified.

Even the pain on his body disappeared.

His empty hand tore off the tattered cassock from his upper body before it popped out of the chamber, and swung it forward.

The timing was very precise.

Successfully intercept bullets with vestments made of Kevlar fibers and protective charms.

The distance was instantly reduced to two meters.

Kotomine Kirei could almost smell the smell of gunpowder on his body.

The black key in his hand suddenly stabbed forward.

Emiya Kiritsugu dodged with an incredible movement and pulled the distance away again.

at the same time.

There was a sound like iron blocks falling from the ground.

Immediately, a terrifying shock spread.

The loud noise shook the entire underground car park.

There's good reason to suspect that it's audible even on the surface.

Not just noise, but flashes of light strong enough to blind people.

Although it was quickly obscured by shadows.

But in Kotomine Kirei's eyes, the world was still a vast expanse of whiteness, and there were multiple double images of things that were vaguely captured, making it impossible to distinguish the exact location at all.

The brain is dizzy and can't hear any sound.

It was as if a piercing beep was harassing the brain.

For a martial artist, the importance of sight and hearing is unquestionable.

Kotomine Kirei did not expect the opponent to take such a radical attack.

If you guessed correctly, the sound just now was made by a shock bomb falling to the ground.

That is to say, when he launched the attack, Emiya Kiritsugu took out the shock bomb and let him dodge after approaching. The seemingly passive reaction was actually to pinpoint the time to make the shock bomb play the maximum. Effect.

but.

Wouldn't this do harm to Emiya Kiritsugu himself?

Even if his reaction is amazing, it is impossible to completely avoid the impact of the shock bomb.

"...Ugh!"

Just when Kotomine Kirei squeezed out some reason to think, a sense of crisis hit his heart, and he subconsciously moved his steps away from his original position.

It was this act that saved his life.

There was a sharp pain in the arm.

Like being pierced by an arrow.

Also has a searing tearing feel.

- It's a bullet.

If he hadn't taken a few more steps, it would have been his chest that would have been penetrated.

Kotomine Kirei was convinced of this.

Because, the name of the shooter is Emiya Kiritsugu.

It's what he's been after, kindred.

If it wasn't to that extent, it would be troublesome.

But why?

At such a close distance, even the physically strong self can hardly escape the impact of the shock bomb. Why can Emiya Kiritsugu continue to shoot?

Kotomine Kirei felt puzzled.

But, it doesn't matter.

The ear cannot hear, the eye cannot see.

But he felt pain.

The bullet cannot turn, and there must be someone waiting for him in the direction the bullet came from.

Thinking about it this way, my brain is much more awake.

"call……"

The breathing technique taught by his father was rarely used by Kotomine Kirei to truly restore his body and mind.

But the purpose of doing this is to keep your body in good shape.

There is only one chance.

Although the opponent's mind has been taken away, the body's fighting instinct and experience are still there.
