Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 70 Kenneth: This thing is much more useful than defensive magic.jpg
"Scalp!"

As the angry voice rang out, the liquid mercury turned into sharp blades, attacking everything around it indiscriminately.

Instead of pushing open the door blocking the way, the weight of mercury shatters it.

Vases, paintings, luxurious furniture, and every decorative item in sight were mercilessly destroyed.

There are many traps along the way. Whenever Kenneth's unsuspecting toes hook onto the steel wire or step on the fuse under the carpet, the pre-installed grenades will explode, and the mines will scatter gravel all over the sky. The mercury protective film that spreads out instantly will easily block all attacks.

Walking in the broken and dim corridor, Kenneth's cold face was expressionless like a mask, without cursing or gritting his teeth. To others, that was definitely not the expression of an "angry person".

And in fact, that was exactly the case. Those angry words were just a gesture used by Kenneth to confuse the enemy. In fact, he was 100% or even 90% calm in his heart.

Because he knew that Emiya Kiritsugu's previous actions were just to provoke him and achieve a certain goal.

As for what the purpose was, Kenneth could probably guess a little - the opponent's single-shot pistol that could penetrate the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid should be the weapon that launched the "Origin Bullet".

"Foolish villain, are you planning to provoke me first, and then use that Origin Bullet to sneak attack me while I'm using my ceremonial outfit at full power..."

After guessing Emiya Kiritsugu's plan, Kayneth's eyes became even colder.

If he had not known the intelligence in advance, he would have definitely fallen into the trap carefully woven by the magician killer.

But after Kamiya Yu's reminder, Kenneth remained vigilant and calm from beginning to end, and he made sufficient preparations to resolve the threat of the Origin Bomb.

However, the power of that shot just now was really terrifying, and the protective gear on his body was almost penetrated.

Thinking of this, Kenneth looked down at the bullet hole in his abdomen, and a trace of fear emerged in his heart.

Although as a noble magician he had always looked down upon these unorthodox methods, he now had to admit that modern weapons could indeed cause fatal damage to magicians.

If I hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest and the improvised protective magic gear, I would have really fallen into the ditch.

"Hmm? Did you find his location? He's stopped moving... Looks like he's about to make a final stand."

No matter how big the castle was, the roads would gradually become restricted when escaping upstairs, and Kiritsugu Emiya was finally chased to the end of the corridor on the third floor.

The search mercury stream that had acted ahead of him accurately discovered the enemy's position this time. The target seemed to have given up on escaping and stopped motionless. He might have made up his mind to have the final battle with Kenneth there.

"Since your bullets can't hit my body, then the next day will be your death, you disgusting sewer rat." The Clock Tower Lord sneered and muttered to himself.

As the voice fell, Kenneth and his Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid turned the last corner and arrived at the end of the corridor.

…………

Almost as expected, Emiya Kiritsugu faced Kayneth El-Melloi Archipelago for the second time.

The distance between them was less than thirty meters, and the corridor was about six meters wide. There was no shelter, and no escape route. Kayneth's Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid could deliver a lethal attack within a range of roughly eight meters. Before he could close that distance, Emiya Kiritsugu would have the power to attack.

In his left hand was a submachine gun loaded with bullets, and in his right hand was a single-shot pistol with only one magazine, which was already fully loaded with the Origin bullet.

Kiritsugu showed no fear nor begged for mercy, but simply stood there silently holding two guns. This made Kenneth put on a cold expression and deliberately uttered a mocking ridicule.

"You don't think the previous method will work again, do you? Despicable guy."

Of course it wouldn't work. If it did, it would be troublesome - but Kiritsugu certainly couldn't reveal any information. He had to make Kayneth think that he would just repeat the same move and use the same attack method as before.

This was exactly what Kenneth wanted. He said this just to make Emiya Kiritsugu act according to the original plan.

"I won't kill you so easily. I'll just heal your lungs and heart to regenerate them, and then slowly torture you starting from your fingertips."

Kenneth spoke sinisterly as he slowly walked towards Emiya Kiritsugu step by step. As if responding to his words, the surrounding Moon Spirit Marrow stretched out countless mercury blades in a threatening manner.

"Die with regret, pain, and despair, and curse as you draw your last breath! Curse your cowardly employer... Curse the Einzbern Master who tarnished the Holy Grail War!"

Very good - Kiritsugu ignored Kayneth's declaration of execution and laughed secretly in his heart. The plan for replacing the Master he proposed seemed to be effective in the end.

As Kenneth gradually approached, the distance was shortened to fifteen meters. If he wanted to take action, now was the best time.

Tu tu tu tu——!
Looking at Kenneth not far away, Emiya Kiritsugu took the lead in launching an attack. The submachine gun in his left hand spewed out hot flames and fired dense bullets like a roar.

It was an exact replay of the sneak attack in the corridor on the first floor, a diversionary attack designed to trigger the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's automatic defense.

This was just a feint, the purpose of which was to extend the Mercury Protective Curtain, which was too thin to withstand the subsequent attack of the Origin Bomb.

Seeing this scene, Kenneth immediately became alert. While paying attention to Kiritsugu Emiya's right hand, he chanted the spell calmly.

"Fevor, Meisanguis! (My blood boils)"

Mercury's defensive form was activated instantly, but this time it did not form a film.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid leaped in front of its master, and countless barbs erected from the floor to the ceiling in one breath. These barbs hid Kenneth's body like a dense bamboo forest, while completely blocking the flying bullets.

This self-defense was accomplished by mobilizing all of Kenneth's magic power. The magic mark on his body was working to its limit, causing severe pain to the holder's body.

"Come on, Emiya Kiritsugu, fire that bullet and then meet your death."
