Chapter 259 The Battle Begins
"How is it possible?!!"
Feeling the King of Heroes' exit, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had completed the Holy Grail Advent Ceremony, was completely devastated. He had never thought that the old man he summoned would quit so quickly!
Although he was forced to leave, why was he so quick! !
Tohsaka Tokiomi felt that he was being targeted. He had already taken the Holy Grail, and even the Advent Ceremony and wishes were ready. He was just waiting for his old-fashioned King of Heroes to deal with the remaining Heroic Spirits. As a result,
Due to Gilgamesh's exit, his soul was also absorbed by the Small Holy Grail. After receiving the souls of the five Servants, the Holy Grail mixed in Irisviel's organs was slowly recovering.
If you reach out and touch it, you can clearly feel that there is an obvious foreign object in her soft abdominal cavity.
In this state, if it weren't for the soul-protecting amulet Zhao Chen cast on Irisviel, I'm afraid her soul would have been lost inside the Holy Grail.
Of course, under the effect of Zhao Chen's special soul-protecting talisman, Irisviel is now in a state of soul sleep, and nothing in the outside world can harm her.
"Although the King of Heroes has left, according to the current situation of the 'Vessels of the Holy Grail', there are only two Servants left. Once they decide the winner, the Holy Grail will appear with the help of the Advent Ceremony I set up. In this way, the final winner will still be me!"
The long-standing excellent magician qualities made Tohsaka Tokiomi recover from the emergency exit of the King of Heroes. After tidying up his collar to ensure that the whole person looked elegant, he figured out the key point.
As long as the 'Vessels of the Holy Grail' in front of him is not lost, then the final winner will still be himself!
"But before the final victory or defeat comes, wait until Kiritsugu Emiya is solved first, otherwise if he summons [Saber], it will be troublesome!"
Stepping back two steps, Tohsaka Tokiomi set up several defensive barriers outside the Holy Grail Advent Ceremony, and then took his usual magic outfit, which was the wooden staff with a huge ruby on the top that he often carried with him.
This magic outfit contains the magic power that Tokiomi spent his life to cultivate. It is the official outfit used by Tōsaka Tokiomi as a magician.
On the other side, after the encounter, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei also started to fight.
Three on the left, three on the right, Kotomine Kirei drew out a total of six black keys, rushed forward, silently reciting the words of blessing from the Bible, and a few extremely twisted smiles appeared on his face.
The assassin's gun belonging to Emiya Kiritsugu also aimed at the shadow approaching with the wind. It only takes one shot to take away the opponent's ability to resist!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The three black keys thrown from Kotomine Kirei's left hand, with the addition of magic, the power of the semi-spiritual blade is enough to penetrate iron bones.
But this way of fighting has long been calculated by Emiya Kiritsugu, and the source of the information is Hisau Maiya, who has fought Kotomine Kirei twice and ended up seriously injured.
The burst of bullets that flew out instantly locked onto the three black keys and Kotomine Kirei himself. The three black keys were instantly shattered by the impact of the bullets and scattered in the air.
However, such an attack had no effect on Kirei who had been prepared. As a humanoid Shura who was the agent of the Holy Church, his judgment speed was far faster than the speed of the bullets.
It was just what he wanted!
Kirei's figure flashed and gradually approached Emiya Kiritsugu, and three more black keys appeared in his left hand. At this moment, he launched a large-scale magic.
The black keys held by both hands immediately expanded to several times the size of the blade. The semi-solid blade, which was originally woven by magic power, was injected with extra-legal magic power, completing the "strengthening".
These six black keys, which were more powerful than sharp blades, gathered together the moment they attacked Emiya Kiritsugu, because from Kiritsugu's other empty hand, the same gun fired the real origin bullet!
As mentioned before, Emiya Kiritsugu obtained information about Kotomine Kirei's battle from his assistant Hisau Maiya. Based on this, he made a tactical prediction and deduced Kirei's battle choice in the face of himself.
Therefore, everything is still under control now.
Watching the origin bullet shot at his chest, Kirei instantly overlapped the six huge black keys in front of his chest and twisted them into a fan shape.
"Bang!"
The bullet was bounced back with fierce sparks, and at the same time, the black keys filled with excess magic power were overwhelmed and shattered.
However, this did not make Emiya Kiritsugu happy at all, but frowned. He was very clear about the power of his origin bullet. Although it only hit the black key, at that moment, the black key and Kirei were connected because of magic.
This connection should have triggered the power of the origin bullet, causing Kirei's body to perish instantly due to the rampage of magic!
But from the fragments of the six black keys that flew away, a figure in a black robe suddenly flew out and approached rapidly, making Kiritsugu dumbfounded.
"Time alter——double accel!"
In shock, his body reacted before his brain, and Kiritsugu chanted a spell.
At the critical moment, Kiritsugu jumped back, only to see Kirei's right foot fiercely sweeping past his nose.
And the left foot that continued to attack failed to kick Kiritsugu's neck. Kirei's fluent chain kick attack was in vain under the confusion of Kiritsugu's double-speed movement.
Although he dodged the opponent's attack, Kiritsugu still couldn't figure out why his Origin Bullet had no effect.
In fact, it was not that it had no effect, but that the effect did not work on Kotomine Kirei!
Since Kirei's own magic circuits were not fully developed, in order to be able to perform magic, he used the "legacy" he got from Kotomine Risei - the pre-trusted Command Seal, as his source of magic power.
Although the characteristics of the Command Seal determined that it was just a consumable that could be thrown away after use, in the end it saved Kirei. When the magic was activated and the Origin Bullet that came into contact with it took effect, the Command Seal, which was the source of magic power, disappeared from Kirei's arm.
Kiritsugu didn't know these things, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to attack Kirei. However, at the moment of the fight, he clearly knew that he had underestimated the strength of this priest.
The power of Bajiquan was fully exerted. Before Kiritsugu could react, Kirei's fist hit his chest fiercely with the power of the Eight Directions!
Vajra Eight Styles, a punch!
In terms of power alone, it was equivalent to setting off a grenade in the chest.
Under the heavy blow of the iron fist, the chest cavity was ruptured, and Kiritsugu's lungs and heart were smashed into a pile of flesh, and the incidental impact made him hit the pillars standing around.
Looking down at his fist, the smile on Kirei's face twisted a little.
"End"
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, Kirei felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and the burst of deep red covered his vision.
Carrying the conceptual treasure "Utopia Far Away from the World", it was the sheath of the holy sword obtained when he parted with his wife last time. Originally, it was only regarded as a holy relic to summon heroic spirits, but he didn't expect it to really have such a huge effect!
However, this made the battle stalemate. Although Kirei was shot in the head, the bullet did not penetrate his head, but scratched the skin on his forehead, which did not affect the battle.
So, the scene was a little stagnant, and the two of them were thinking about their next move while analyzing the battle situation.
At this moment, another person joined the battlefield. Toshiomi Tōsaka, holding a ruby wooden staff, arrived with his gem magic!
