Abnormal Moon

Wearing a dark priest's robe, with a pure smile on his face as if he were waiting for the arrival of a holy child, he remained calm and composed despite being drenched in sweat under the scorching heat.

"I'm really looking forward to it, Rin. I wonder how much pleasure you can bring me?"

Chapter 113 Now that things have come to this, how can one possibly count them all?

"Pleasure? You mean pleasure?"

Rin Tohsaka glared at Kirei Kotomine with all her might, until her eyes were bloodshot.

"Is this your reason for committing this series of sins? Just for your own pleasure?"

"You call this a sin? Well, you're right. From your perspective, I am indeed the culprit behind everything."

Kirei Kotomine stood there calmly.

Despite being drenched in sweat, he remained unmoved, looking down at Rin Tohsaka with an unchanged smile.

"Thinking back, that was ten years ago. I heard that the Einzbern family had found a magician assassin named Kiritsugu Emiya to be the Master of the Fourth Holy Grail War. I was really looking forward to him, but when the Holy Grail War started, what I saw was not Kiritsugu Emiya, but a homunculus from the Einzbern family. Instead of using that homunculus as their Master and keeping themselves hidden in the shadows, they completely disappeared from the Holy Grail War."

“I was so bored because of this, so I chatted with Archer. Ah, that Archer is the golden Heroic Spirit outside right now—he was your father’s Servant back then.”

Rin Tohsaka bit her lip tightly, very hard.

She glared at Kirei Kotomine with hatred, not even noticing that she had bitten her lip until it bled; her eyes were filled with a resentment that wished she could tear him to pieces.

"So you already know. That's right, I killed your father."

Kirei Kotomine looked at her expression, twisted with hatred, and his saintly smile gradually turned distorted and twisted.

"What the King of Heroes said made a lot of sense. I was misled by his words, no, I was attracted and fell into depravity. Not only my mentor, but even my biological father, Kotomine Risei, eventually died at my hands. I will remember his expression at the end of his life as a sacred word."

After hearing these words, Rin Tohsaka's expression changed from hatred to something else.

Betraying one's mentor can be attributed to self-interest.

But to be able to kill one's own father is to be completely out of the realm of normal people; it's like a magician who has gone insane from years of studying magic.

This guy's not right in the head!

"The day the Holy Grail War ended was also the day I touched the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail stripped away all the darkness in my heart, which resulted in the great disaster ten years ago."

As if reliving that time, Kirei Kotomine closed his eyes, raised his hands high as if cradling a baby, his face filled with immersive satisfaction.

"Godly gold!"

Rin Tohsaka cursed.

"Hmph, you're absolutely right, even I think so myself."

Kirei Kotomine gave a light snort, surprisingly accepting her scolding without hesitation.

He stopped pretending and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"The great catastrophe ten years ago ended with the complete victory of the Greater Grail. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. There must be something wrong with this world... To be honest, I really want to try it again."

"Shouldn't you..."

Rin Tohsaka stared at him with a look of horror.

She seemed to be thinking of something, and her eyes filled with a kind of fear.

"Of course, I've already made a second wish on the Greater Grail."

Kirei Kotomine opened his arms and let out a sorrowful sigh.

"What a pity, Rin. If you had come any faster, you might have been able to stop me. But now, it's too late. The Greater Grail has started operating again, and the things inside are about to be conceived once more!"

Kirei Kotomine was thoroughly enjoying the moment.

He himself felt that he was twisted. He had done a lot of good deeds in the first thirty years of his life and believed that even if he could not be made a saint after death, he could still go to heaven. However, the sins he committed in the last ten years not only canceled out all the merits he had done, but even going to hell and being thrown into a pot of oil by demons and being fried repeatedly could not wash away his sins.

He murdered his father and teacher, becoming the detonator of the Greater Grail and causing a catastrophe that resulted in the deaths of over 90% of humanity on Earth.

Aside from that, things like torturing children to make human batteries and giving Command Seals to Jiemon so he could use them against Roy for pleasure are really trivial matters.

"...Just how many sins have you committed!"

"At this point, how can one possibly count them all?"

"Archer, kill him!"

Rin Tohsaka didn't want to hear him continue.

Since a wish has already been made, doesn't that mean the Greater Grail has been activated once again?

Is that endless black mud, the curse that pervades the world, and the fire that burns all of humanity about to happen again?

Rin Tohsaka was consumed by rage.

Ten years ago, the great disaster caused by the Greater Grail left Rin Tohsaka, one of the three starter families, feeling unable to shirk responsibility and constantly tormented by her conscience. Even now, she is still suffering from guilt.

And yet, such a disaster is going to happen again?

She absolutely cannot allow it!

"Even if it costs me my life, I will stop this Greater Grail War!"

With this realization, Rin Tohsaka could no longer listen to a single word from Kirei Kotomine and decisively ordered Archer to launch an attack.

At her command, Red A appeared silently beside her, and without saying a word, drew his bow and shot an arrow toward Kirei Kotomine.

He didn't hold back at all with this arrow, easily tearing through the air and making a series of explosive sounds. Humans would absolutely not be able to withstand such an attack with their reaction speed!

"boom!"

But then, something that didn't belong to humans appeared in the field.

It was a giant hand.

A gigantic black hand made of constantly writhing, rotten black mud.

A giant hand appeared out of thin air in front of Kirei Kotomine, blocking the arrow aimed at him with its body. The arrow pierced into the black mud hand, but could not penetrate it.

Red A's expression hardened, and he immediately detonated the arrow.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the arrow exploded inside the giant hand, scattering black mud in all directions like splattered mud.

"it's useless."

Kirei Kotomine gave a soft snort.

Suddenly.

One after another, enormous black hands emerged from the crater behind him, swaying back and forth in mid-air like willow trees.

Each giant hand was made of black mud, and each was over ten meters long. It could easily crush a person, and it also emitted a strong smell of curse.

Counting them up, there were at least seven or eight giant hands!

“Unlike the first gestation ten years ago, this time it has been gestating for a long time and is just waiting to explode. So, this is the kind of opponent you are facing.”

Kirei Kotomine opened his arms wide, as if he were celebrating the birth of a holy child.

Immediately afterwards, a giant, entirely black, stood up from the crater. Two of its eight giant hands were its arms, and its height was nearly thirty meters, almost reaching the ceiling of the great void.

Rin Tohsaka pulled out a gem from her pocket, ready for battle.

She dared not be careless at all, but what she saw next left her speechless.

The second giant rose from the pit.

Then came the third and the fourth.

Four black mud giants emerged from the crater and strode toward her.

Chapter 114 Second Stage

"Leave the monsters to me!"

Seeing four Calamity Giants emerge from the pit, Red A's expression inevitably turned serious.

But in this situation, only he could deal with those black mud giants. With a sense of responsibility, he quickly finished speaking to Rin Tohsaka and then swiftly raised his hand.

More than twenty projected weapons appeared in mid-air and blasted towards the four Calamity Giants with incredible speed, tearing through the atmosphere.

The giant was enormous, and each step it took was huge, but it was not fast. The projection weapon, fired at supersonic speed, easily hit the Calamity Giant. The projection weapon entered the Calamity Giant's body as if it had sunk into a swamp, merging into its body and limbs.

Red A immediately activated Fantasy Collapse, and more than twenty weapons exploded simultaneously inside the Calamity Giant, causing black mud to fly everywhere.

Rin Tohsaka seized the opportunity, using magic to enhance her leg strength, and quickly rushed up to the crater.

Then he kicked Kirei Kotomine in mid-air!

Kirei Kotomine slapped away her first kick with a wave of his hand, but couldn't help but frown slightly and shake his numb right hand.

Before he could react, Rin Tohsaka landed, spun around, and delivered a spinning kick to his right arm.

Kirei Kotomine had no choice but to raise his arms to defend himself, but the kick was quite powerful. He was immediately kicked and staggered back a few steps to readjust his posture.
