Chapter 170 The Real Cruelty of the Holy Grail War (3K10K)
It was too sudden. This change was too sudden. It was beyond everyone's expectation. People were stunned when they saw this scene.
The light screen image was directly turned on in slow motion mode at this moment.
Accompanied by the sudden sound of the slow and indifferent and sad BGM, as if time was slowed down many times, the bullet came out of the gun, the muzzle sparks burst, the bullet tore the air, leaving ripples in the air, and went towards Kenneth.
Kenneth still kept the action of opening the church door, and did not react at all. This also fully proved that although he was an excellent magician, his reaction speed was not much better than that of ordinary people.
Then, the camera moved to Diarmuid outside the church. The latter had a satisfied and blessing smile on his face, but that smile gradually turned into shock and anger under the slow motion.
The reaction speed and strength of the heroic spirit far exceeded that of humans, allowing him to clearly capture the bullet fired by Emiya Kiritsugu.
However, Diarmuid was too far away from Kenneth now.
The Kotomine Church in Fuyuki City is a large church. There is a garden outside the main body of the church. The real gate of the church is outside the garden.
Diarmuid is standing outside this gate, because the Holy Grail War stipulates that servants are not allowed to enter the church when they go to see the supervisor, and the church area is also a safe zone, and contestants are not allowed to fight here.
As an honest man, Kenneth fully abides by this rule and believes that the church is a safe zone and he will not be attacked.
So, now Kenneth and Diarmuid are separated by a distance of about fifty meters.
If it is normal, this distance can be reduced to nothing in just a breath. As a servant with A+ grade agility, Diarmuid is so fast.
However, at this moment, the distance of fifty meters is like an insurmountable natural chasm.
Diarmuid made a judgment almost instantly, and at this moment he threw the Yellow Rose of Destruction in his hand directly, aiming at the trajectory of the bullet.
Under the slow motion, Diarmuid's throwing action is also very slow, and the people watching are very anxious, wishing that he could be faster.
However, Diarmuid has already reached the maximum speed, which can be seen from the sneakiness of the bullets. His movements are even faster than the speed of the bullets.
So, the camera zoomed out, and people could clearly see that the yellow spear was also heading towards Kenneth at the speed of breaking through the air, and the target was not Kenneth, but the trajectory of Kenneth being attacked by the bullet.
As the bullets got closer and closer to Kenneth, the rhythm of the BGM became more and more rapid, and people in front of the light screen image became more and more nervous.
Many people couldn't help but whisper words like "must catch up, must catch up" to slightly relieve their inner tension.
Obviously, Kenneth's recent performance has won him a lot of goodwill and popularity. As long as people have normal values, they don't want this somewhat arrogant good magician to get into trouble.
As the BGM came to the last moment, in the increasingly fast rhythm, Kenneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid automatically defended, and wrapped Kenneth up in just a short time.
However, the special magic-breaking bullet directly penetrated the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and hit Kenneth's right shoulder the next moment. The Yellow Rose of Destruction thrown by Diarmuid was still a step too late and almost missed the bullet.
The next moment, the BGM ended, the slow motion ended, and everything returned to normal.
Then, the camera directly pulled in the place where Kenneth was injured, and saw that the bullet in Kenneth's body exploded and directly destroyed Kenneth's magic circuit, and then mixed together roughly.
This caused Kenneth's magic power to run wild directly, and the camera returned to the outside, and saw that Kenneth's expression froze for a moment because of the bullet, and then he screamed in pain, his meridians bulged directly, and then his blood vessels burst all over his body, and he looked extremely miserable.
This appearance was actually shown in the previous light screen image, that is, when Kenneth ran to Einzbern Castle and confronted Emiya Kiritsugu.
At that time, Kenneth became what he is now in a suspected illusion, and that illusion was a possibility of the future that Marisbilly told Kenneth.
That time, Kenneth was cautious and wore a bulletproof vest, so Emiya Kiritsugu's special bullet did not really hurt Kenneth, but this time he was definitely not wearing a bulletproof vest.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Kenneth, whose magic circuits were completely destroyed, screamed in pain. The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid also lost its controller and source of magic power because of the destruction of his magic circuits, and automatically retracted into the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid on Kenneth's body.
Then, Diarmuid roared hysterically: "My Lord!!!"
While roaring, he rushed to Kenneth and supported Kenneth who fell to the ground.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the master of the family, Diarmuid was filled with regret and incompetent rage. He swore to protect and be loyal to the new master, but he watched the master become like this in front of his eyes. This was the greatest torture and irony for him.
In an instant, Diarmuid's eyes turned red, and he suddenly looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already started running out with a gun.
This is just shooting and running, so fucking exciting!
However, this is not over yet. When Diarmuid was about to rush over and chop Emiya Kiritsugu into pieces, Emiya Kiritsugu just said to another person through the headset: "Maiya, do it."
The camera shifted to the mountain outside the church. Hisahi Maiya stood on the trunk of a tree, holding a telescope in his left hand to look at the situation in the church, and holding a remote control with a red button in his right hand.
After receiving the order from Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisahi Maiya immediately pressed the red button.
Then...
Boom boom boom boom~~~
The Kotomine Church exploded directly, and multiple remote-controlled C4 bombs exploded at the same time, instantly engulfing the place with a fiery explosion.
This explosion directly caused Diarmuid to only protect his master Kenneth immediately, and there was no time to chase Emiya Kiritsugu.
Emiya Kiritsugu jumped out of the church wall with a gun at the same time as the explosion, and then took advantage of the situation to drill into the sewer manhole that had been opened long ago, avoiding being engulfed by the big explosion.
He left quickly along the sewer, and his inner voice also rang out: "In this way, the Lancer team and the Assassin team are both solved."
Then, the memory killing appeared, and time returned to the previous fight against the meat mountain monster. When he saw Saber unleashing the true power of the Sword of Promised Victory and breaking all the city isolation barriers, he thought that something might have happened to the Kotomine Church.
The isolation barrier was violently broken, and the magic props that unfolded the barrier would inevitably explode and be damaged. The magic impact might have destroyed the person in charge of the Kotomine Church and the security barrier of the Kotomine Church.
So, Emiya Kiritsugu asked his assistant Hisau Maiya to confirm the situation. If there was really a problem there, he would install a remote-controlled bomb there, and when Kotomine Kirei came back, he would directly detonate the bomb.
Immediately afterwards, the memory killing continued to Emiya Kiritsugu found that Kenneth went to the Kotomine Church, and then he arrived one step ahead and ambushed Kenneth there.
Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know the real purpose of Kenneth's visit to Kotomine Church. In his recollection, he understood this as Kenneth coming to Kotomine Church to ask for the reward for defeating Bluebeard.
After all, Kotomine Risei, as the supervisor, had said that those who participated in the subjugation of Bluebeard could get a reward of one Command Seal after defeating Bluebeard.
Because the night was the battle period of the Holy Grail War, even if the battle against Bluebeard was over, no one was 100% sure that there would be no new battles.
Therefore, in order to be on the safe side, the Masters who participated in the subjugation war were prepared to go again during the day tomorrow. At that time, even if they met other combinations, they could not take action, because fighting was prohibited during the day. This was the rule of the Holy Grail War. Anyone who violated it would suffer the same treatment as Bluebeard and be besieged by everyone.
Of course, this was only the choice of most Masters, not all of them.
Emiya Kiritsugu thought that Kenneth was eager to receive the reward, because Kenneth's personality was really capable of doing such a thing.
So, Emiya Kiritsugu's temporary change of the plan of killing three birds with one stone was successful.
Obviously, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care about the rule that the Holy Grail War couldn't be fought in the Kotomine Church area. Knowing Kotomine Kirei's true identity, he had already included Kotomine Church in his hunting list.
At the same time, judging others by his own experience, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't believe that the Command Seal given by Kotomine Risei would be so simple, and he might have tampered with it, so he didn't even think about getting it, nor did he want others to get it, thereby increasing the variables of this Holy Grail War.
Before Kenneth arrived, Li Shuwen had already brought Kotomine Kirei back. The latter seemed to be completely unable to withstand the mental shock brought by the flesh-wounded monster and fell into a coma. Therefore, he was also in a coma when he was brought back by Li Shuwen.
The above is the information carried in Emiya Kiritsugu's memory killing, so that everyone knows the whole process.
————
In the real world, people don't know what to say anymore. This Emiya Kiritsugu is really dirty!
Tonight, everyone temporarily united to fight against the big monster, and the cooperation was pretty good. After the fight, everyone was in a harmonious atmosphere. Even the King of Conquerors and the King of Heroes, who were tit-for-tat, agreed to decide the winner next time.
As a result, Emiya Kiritsugu had already calculated others before the war was over, and directly asked your own assistant to carry out the action.
At the end of the war, when everyone was in a state of mental relaxation, Emiya Kiritsugu made a bold move and took down several enemies in one breath.
This method is really dirty!
At the same time, it is also cruel!
His behavior also fully demonstrated the nature of the Holy Grail War.
The epic battle between the heroic spirits is certainly very romantic and full of fantasy.
However, this is essentially a war of mutual slaughter.
Since it is a war, it is not too strange for any crazy and dirty means to appear, because the essence of human war is to continuously lower the lower limit of the human race.
Today's first update, two updates today.
This morning, I got up with a heartache, dizziness, and high blood pressure that could not be lowered. I went to the hospital and went home in the evening.
The doctor told me not to stay up late and go to bed before 11 o'clock, otherwise I might die at any time.
So I will update twice today. I will adjust my work and rest schedule and try to complete the daily 10,000-word update during the day.
