In front of the mountain gate, the roaring sound was non-stop.
Dust was flying, and the flames of the explosion ignited the trees. A petite figure flashed and danced among hundreds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, accurately avoiding the Noble Phantasms thrown at her with unparalleled agility.
What is the weakness of the King of Heroes?
Knowing that she might face Archer again, Saber had certainly thought about this issue before.
Based on the experience of the last fight at Matou House, she clearly realized one thing. Her only chance of winning against the King of Heroes was to behead him personally.
Even though Archer has certain melee abilities, she is limited by her class and cannot be stronger than her as a Sword Servant.
As for Wu Ming, he was too mysterious and weird, so she simply ignored him and just treated him as a melee mage.
The situation was different from that night at the Matou residence.
Saber is in perfect condition at the moment and will not be unable to attack or dodge because she is guarding Lancetro.
Therefore, she decisively launched an attack, trying to approach Archer for hand-to-hand combat.
The idea is good, but the implementation is another matter.
Huh~
With a twist of her neck, a sword filled with cold light grazed her forehead and fell behind her, splashing a pile of rubble.
Several more Noble Phantasms gradually enlarged in front of his eyes.
Saber gritted her silver teeth and could only stop her forward pace. She raised her holy sword and shot down a spear. She jumped to avoid two long knives and retreated quickly.
Boom─Boom─Boom!
In the shining golden halo, hundreds of Noble Phantasms were fired at Saber like machine gun bullets. The Noble Phantasms seemed endless. Such dense firepower caused her to repulse several charges.
There is no way to get close to Archer.
The stupid king couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and she realized that she had overlooked a problem before.
The King's Treasure of the King of Heroes is a projectile attack. In addition to the number of Noble Phantasms projected, the projection speed of the Noble Phantasms is certain, and the flight of the Noble Phantasms also takes time.
As long as she is further away from the King of Heroes, she will have more reaction time and room to dodge, but she won't be able to cut him.
The closer she gets to Archer, the greater her chance of winning, but correspondingly, it becomes harder for her to avoid the Noble Phantasm he projects.
The magic armor on her body cannot withstand dozens of Noble Phantasms, and she does not have the means to intercept so many Noble Phantasms at once.
If you get too close, it will be no different from ordinary people hitting the muzzle of a gun.
Therefore, even if she risks being killed, no matter how she rushes forward, there is a high probability that she will be beaten into pieces, and her winning rate is extremely low.
If you can't get close to him, you can't win, but if you try to get closer, you will most likely die, which is embarrassing.
"What's wrong, Saber, there's nothing you can do so quickly?" He stared at her with blood-red eyes. The King of Heroes stood on a tree with his hands behind his hands, a playful smile on his lips.
He nimbly dodged various Noble Phantasms and walked in the light of the explosion. Saber's beautiful eyes glared at him hatefully.
It's not that she doesn't have long-range attacks, but the "Wind King's Hammer" is too obvious when activated. It's not difficult for Archer to dodge at this distance.
clang!
Gold and iron clashed, and sparks shot out from the sword blade. After Saber knocked away a large halberd with one sword, she hesitated in her heart.
Looking at the proud Archer on the tree, she wanted to free the "Sword of Oath of Victory", but for a heroic spirit as powerful as the King of Heroes, it would not be surprising if there were any means to resist and block the enemy's Noble Phantasm.
Once she failed, she exhausted all the magic power in her body and could no longer support or delay her efforts.
She was really unsure and didn't dare to take the risk until the last moment.
After thinking about it, Artoria was surprised to find that she could not think of any way to win except waiting for her allies to come back and beat Archer together.
This idea of placing all her hopes on her teammates made her feel a little embarrassed and ashamed.
It suddenly dawned on Artoria that she didn't know when she started to rely on Wu Ming.
This emotion should not have appeared on her.
Why is this happening?
Is she too eager to get the Holy Grail, or has she become weak, or... Wuming is always confident, has everything under control, and is also very powerful, giving people the feeling that he can solve everything.
These days, he and Kiritsugu made plans, and he also dealt with the enemies.
Killing Lancer, taking out the Little Holy Grail... he did all of these very beautifully, but she... seemed to have done nothing, and kept following his rhythm in a daze.
In fact, she has always been taken care of by him and treated as a little girl by him, so much so that she is a little used to it, or has she relaxed?
hateful!
Thinking of this, Artoria suddenly became a little angry, and a pair of emerald eyes ignited with flames.
Although Saber doesn't know the word "win by lying down", she refuses to accept such a result and relies entirely on her teammates. So what does she need to do?
Phew~
Invisible whirlwinds roared, and the breeze wrapped around the holy sword dispersed. In the turbulent airflow, the holy sword revealed a tip filled with golden light.
Saber stared at Archer with cold eyes, waved her holy sword with her arm, and the wind energy gathered at a high speed was compressed into a ball, which was the "Wind King's Hammer".
Boom!
Accompanied by a huge roar, the wind energy compressed to the extreme knocked away more than a dozen Noble Phantasms, like a cannonball, rushing towards the golden glitter on the tree!
With his eyes focused, the King of Heroes jumped to avoid the blow.
Just hearing a bang, a dense branch exploded instantly, and as sawdust flew, countless leaves were shattered.
Although he easily dodged the attack, the golden treasure projection paused for a moment, which was what Saber needed.
Her face was solemn, and she raised the holy sword with both hands.
The vast magic power surged, the whirlwind blew, the wind king's barrier was lifted, and the golden sword showed its majesty in the sweeping wind. The golden light of the sword shone, as if to congratulate the promised victory, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
There is no doubt that Saber is serious about taking action.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Witnessing the supreme and noble true appearance of this star-made holy sword, the Hero King's demonic blood-colored eyes shrank.
Immediately, he laughed.
"Oh, are you planning a showdown?"
The radiance of the surrounding Noble Phantasms surrounded him, and he smiled evilly at Saber as if emitting divine radiance.
Without saying a word, Artoria concentrated all her strength on her arms holding the hilt of the sword, and raised the golden sword that exuded high-density light high.
Like the first ray of morning light after a long night, the light gently wipes away the uneasiness and anxiety entrenched in the heart.
The King of Heroes can see more.
This light is the ideal of the knights. Even if they are on a bloody battlefield and exposed to the ultimate hell of death and despair, they still praise the nobility of human nature.
This is the crystallization of all the dreams described in the hearts of all those who have disappeared in the light, the purest light.
His expression straightened, and there was a glimmer of light in the blood-colored pupils of the King of Heroes. It was a kind of appreciation, including appreciation for Saber and a sideways glance at this holy sword.
Jin Shining is not completely arrogant. Although he is extremely arrogant, he also has things to appreciate.
"Forget it, for the sake of you and this sword, I'll let you see my treasured treasure."
The King of Heroes stretched out his palm to one side and opened the treasure house in the void, but he did not unfold the "King's Treasure" and only took out a "key".
A golden key with a peculiar shape, flowing with a layer of glow.
It looks ordinary, but as soon as it appears, it seems to have become the center of the entire world, and even the light of the stars and the moon instantly becomes dim.
…………
The fight between the followers was huge.
So when he heard the continuous explosions on the other side of the mountain, Kotomine Kirei, who was hiding on the mountainside, took action.
He knew that this was the sound of the Noble Phantasm falling, proving that Saber had already fought against the King of Heroes. With this, all obstacles between him and Emiya Kiritsugu had disappeared.
call out!
A flash of blade light cut through the night, impaling a bat familiar squatting on a dense branch with incomparable precision.
Father Mapo immediately got up from the bushes and hurried towards the back door of Liudong Temple. This unabashed approach actually exposed his own existence, but he didn't care.
This is a signal, a declaration of war.
He knew that man would definitely come and kill him.
Rather than saying that Emiya Kiritsugu is an unscrupulous assassin without the honor of a magician, it is better to say that he is a sophisticated instrument. That man has no purpose other than victory when fighting, and he will not be swayed by emotions.
Emiya Kiritsugu must know that Saber cannot defeat the King of Heroes, and the status of the battle between Mu Ming and Rider is still unknown.
A person like the Magician Killer will never place all his hopes on others.
Then, when he appears unabashedly, Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely find a way to deal with him.
He is the Master of the King of Heroes. Even if Archer has the ability to act alone, once the Master is gone, the status of the servants will be greatly affected.
Acting alone without a master, the servant can maintain the spirit body without dissipating immediately, which does not equal magic power.
With the servants without a contract and no supply of magic power, even the King of Heroes would feel very uncomfortable. Even if Gilgamesh dies, he will not be able to find his master immediately.
Under such unfavorable circumstances, Gilgamesh had no chance of winning against the equally powerful Wu Ming.
Based on this alone, Kiritsugu had a reason to kill him.
This is what he wants, Saber and Archer are fighting, Wu Ming and Rider are also fighting, no one interferes, they can decide the outcome.
The mood gradually became excited, the blood burned in the chest, and a frightening look flashed in Kotomine Kirei's eyes.
When did he start to have an obsession with that man?
Although he has already firmly established his belief in the pursuit of pleasure, why is he still obsessed with fighting Emiya Kiritsugu?
It's not important anymore, it's not important anymore.
The last time they fought in the forest outside Einzbern Castle, even though there was no communication, he felt that he already understood him.
That man was either extremely empty like him, or he had an ideal that transcended the world.
For this reason, he continued to kill people, got involved in the vortex of war, and even took his wife to the battlefield. He almost gave up everything, family affection, love, and even his own life, just for one belief.
Emiya Kiritsugu, he is either a saint or a devil!
Kotomine Kirei felt himself trembling.
If he is a devil and happens to be his "confidant", just kill him. If he is a saint, what is more exciting than destroying a saint's ideals and beliefs with your own hands and watching him lose everything, his will collapse and fall into hell.
ah?!
Only such enemies are worth fighting!
Just thinking about it, Kotomine Kirei felt that his numb soul was like dry and cracked land moistened by clear springs, rejuvenated with endless vitality and vitality.
He must fight that man!
There must be no one who can understand a person like Emiya Kiritsugu. His behavior is extremely weird, and his ideals must be beyond the world.
Such a man must have been burdened with ideas that were unimaginable to outsiders in the past. His friends, his relatives, and even his wife...may not be able to truly understand him.
Only he can appreciate Kiritsugu, only he can destroy him...
Kotomine Kirei: I understand him better than his wife!
…………
Liudong Temple, at the back entrance.
Emiya Kiritsugu slowly put down the telescope crystal ball in his hand. The familiar was killed. There was no image on it anymore, but a familiar person appeared on the screen just now.
That person's location has been exposed.
Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was indifferent and without any hesitation, he walked into the forest with steady steps.
Sometimes he would also wonder where and how he was related to Kotomine Kirei.
Had he ever offended Kotomine Kirei so much that he hated him so much and wanted to take revenge on him?
But it is in vain to think about these things now. His life has always been ups and downs, and he will not remember who wants to kill him, nor does he care about personal grudges.
It was from Mu Ming's words that he really got to know Kotomine Kirei.
There was one thing that Kiritsugu couldn't figure out. Why did the agent insist on pursuing him at all costs?
Even if Kotomine Kirei thinks that they are the same kind of people, this is not a reason to be entangled, especially since the other party deliberately created the current situation.
Archer has the ability to act alone and can fight even if the Master is not around.
If it was to obtain the Holy Grail, Kotomine Kirei should hide, or simply try to unite with Rider...
His own appearance on the battlefield was not only of no help, but also gave the King of Heroes another weakness that could be targeted.
Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu had to understand.
In other words, for Kotomine Kirei, winning the Holy Grail is not the first consideration, so the first purpose of the agent has also been exposed - to come to him!
Although it felt a bit ridiculous, in the face of the ironclad facts, the Magician Killer had to admit it.
Well, you can find out with a little analysis.
Mu Ming's words are extremely empty, and the pleasure-seeking Kotomine Kirei regards him as an object, an opponent who can satisfy his distorted beliefs and way of existence.
He has completely understood the existence of Kotomine Kirei, or in other words, no one understands that agent better than him.
Emiya Kiritsugu even vaguely understood why Kotomine Kirei subconsciously pursued the Holy Grail. This was something that the agent himself was not aware of yet - because his way of existence could only be realized through the Holy Grail!
Apart from the Holy Grail, what else can accommodate Kotomine Kirei's twisted nature and his idea of pleasure that is not allowed by worldly morality?
Kiritsugu suddenly felt a little ironic.
Kotomine Ri is a devout believer and has believed in God all his life. He did not realize the nature of his son at all. He must have thought that Kirei was a saint.
Father Kiritsugu: I understand him better than his father!
The moonlight in the sky and the howling cold wind became the road signs leading to purgatory, guiding the two men.
It seems to be the arrangement of fate.
In the silent forest, under the shadow of the dancing moon, the two met in a forest clearing at the corner of the mountain trail.
There was not a branch or leaf around to block the view, and each was completely exposed to the other's eyes!
Emiya Kiritsugu saw the slender figure wearing the robe of the agent, and Kotomine Kirei also recognized the black trench coat of his enemy.
There has long been no need for any verbal communication between them.
With three in his right hand and three in his left hand, Father Mapo holds a total of six black keys, and the blade of the sword shines with a sharp cold light.
The leg muscles of the agent suddenly exerted force, and he galloped forward. The instantaneous burst of speed almost caused a gust of wind!
Father Kiritsugu's eyes were cold, he held the body of the gun that exuded the luster of gun oil, and pointed the gun's crosshairs forward.
Tongues of fire burst out and silver blades flashed.
The next second, both sides struck the killer at the same time. Father Kiritsugu decisively pulled the trigger, and the black keys filled with cold light also cut through the night sky.
