Agumon who wants to become Omegamon

A phantom sphere of light burst forth from Huangfu Weilai's body, where two opposing yet identical forces intertwined and then perfectly merged together.

It maximized the power of 'ice'.

That's right. This time, Huangfu Future mainly used the power of 'ice' and supplemented it with the power of 'fire'. It was like adding fuel to the fire, greatly enhancing the freezing power of ice.

This was a move that Huangfu Future came up with on a whim, inspired by a move from a certain Unova Dragon God. He originally intended to just try it out, but he succeeded on his first try.

So……

"Extremely Cold Flame!"

Boom!

An attack, as if crackling with ice and fire and crackling with electricity, struck Iskandar directly.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The area it attacked was instantly frozen, then shattered, causing the surrounding temperature to drop and creating a faint, binding chill.

"Olalalala-99"

During this process, Iskandar dismounted because he was Huangfu Weilai's primary target. If Iskandar were half a body height taller than him, not only would the fight be more difficult, but it would also make Huangfu Weilai less comfortable.

That's a great way to deal with him.

So his beloved horse turned into ice crystals.

Seeing the Conqueror King rushing towards him, sword raised high, ready to strike, Huangfu Weilai's eyes narrowed. If he still had his armor, his defensive capabilities wouldn't have minded letting him strike, but now...

Wearing only a thin, tight-fitting bodysuit...

boom

Dark golden light surged from the Black Omega Holy Sword as Huangfu Wei gently swung it upwards.

puff-

With a gentle touch, he snapped his sword in two and cut him in half at the waist.

Although it seemed a bit disrespectful to him in the end, with Iskandar's body falling to the ground, there was nothing that could be done about it.

Huangfu Weilai's sword wasn't a Divergent Sword, unsuitable for stabbing, and besides, he didn't possess a binding artifact like the Chains of Heaven. To avoid being struck by Iskandar's sword, he had no choice but to break it in two, while simultaneously following...

The momentum killed him too.

Looking at the Great Emperor who had collapsed at his feet, Huangfu Weilai's eyes showed a slightly complicated expression. He didn't hear the Great Emperor's parting words because his sword, imbued with the power of initialization, had directly touched his body, destroying him.

Every trace of existence.

That's why he died so decisively.

"Hoo..." Huangfu Weilai suppressed the complex thoughts in his mind and looked at the remaining two people opposite him, "...Now, only we are left."

This is Huangfu Future's challenge signal.

Clang!

Upon hearing this, Artoria immediately assumed a fighting stance, her golden holy sword pointing towards Huangfu Weilai.

"...Then I'll take my leave." Weber said in a hoarse voice, barely suppressing the tears that threatened to spill from his eyes.

"I wish you a safe journey."

Artoria did not turn around, believing that Waver, in his current state, would not want others to see his cowardice, especially in front of Huangfu Future, who had killed Iskandar.

Finally, only Huangfu Weilai and Artoria remained on the battlefield, facing each other from afar, the battle about to break out!

On the other side, it was finally the turn of the two who had been missing for a long time.

Unlike the temporarily calm situation on Huangfu Future's side, Kirei Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya are engaged in a fierce battle.

Perhaps they are only now truly beginning their battle, with the priest's special black key and an unknown model of firearm being fiercely used by their master.

Bang bang bang—!!!

Intense flames erupted from the gun wielded by Kiritsugu Emiya. Bullets that would have easily pierced an ordinary person were blocked one by one by Kirei Kotomine using the black keys.

"Tsk... as long as the Origin Bullet hits..." Kiritsugu Emiya gritted his teeth, then threw away the weapon after it was empty, found a suitable cover, and disappeared in front of Kirei Kotomine in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the open terrain of the original story, their current battlefield is in a forest. This gives Kiritsugu Emiya many opportunities to utilize his assassination techniques to some extent, without having to confront Kirei Kotomine, the proxy, directly.

collision.

This could be seen as compensation for Kiritsugu Emiya losing Avalon to heal his injuries, although it wasn't something Huangfu Mirai was willing to do...

P.S.: Keep going, keep going! There's one more chapter! o(≧v≦)o

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Ruthless Iron Hand - Kirei Kotomine

"Huff, huff, huff..." Kiritsugu Emiya gasped for breath. What seemed like a simple collision was actually the result of his use of 'Time Control'.

At this moment, the aftereffects of the magic trick appeared; he clutched his chest in pain, as if trying to alleviate the pain in his heart.

"This can't go on!"

"Even with the trees as cover, it will be difficult for me to defeat him. I must make the Origin Bullet work."

"I... need cover."

With a grim expression, Kiritsugu Emiya took out his communication device, opened the most familiar number, and clicked on it directly.

"Maimi, come and help me."

"Be careful in the mountains behind Fuyuki City. Berserker is fighting Saber and the others nearby."

In the end, Kiritsugu Emiya hung up the phone. Although he wanted his assistant to come as soon as possible to create an opportunity for him, it did not mean that Kiritsugu Emiya would just wait idly.

Using the trees as cover, Kiritsugu Emiya fired an Origin Missile at Kirei Kotomine.

Then, click—

It was directly blocked by Kirei Kotomine's black keys, but the blades on those black keys shattered.

This was the result of the Origin Bullet's effectiveness, a fact that was also observed by the observant Kiritsugu Emiya, who finally realized that Kirei Kotomine was using Command Seals as a source of magical energy to drive attacks like the Black Keys that consume magical energy.

But this only shows that he knew Kirei Kotomine's attack method and the result that the Origin Bullet was ineffective.

Without Avalon's protection, Kiritsugu Emiya wouldn't dare to risk his life, because it might mean his eternal death.

He, a champion of justice, simply cannot afford to gamble now.

"Well……"

As a consequence of attacking Kirei Kotomine, his hiding place was discovered, and even though he moved in time, he was still caught up with.

Forced to use his inherent control once again to dodge the terrifying punch.

Seeing the man opposite him take another stance, Kiritsugu Emiya turned pale, but he still took out his weapon again, this time a hand grenade.

immediately…

boom--!

A huge cloud of smoke obscured the view, and Kiritsugu Emiya began to move again. This time, he had no intention of fleeing, but instead launched an attack directly.

As time goes on, if his weapons are depleted, the outcome will become clear: an overwhelming disadvantage for him!

There was no time to wait for Hisayuu Maiya's arrival, so he had to take action first.

Completely unprepared for close combat with Kirei Kotomine, he used his firearms to maneuver around until he suddenly seized an opportunity and fired an Origin Bullet that crippled Kirei Kotomine's right hand.

Of course, he was also hit by Kirei Kotomine's Bajiquan, which caused him to suffer internal bleeding. This was only because he barely managed to dodge it using his innate time control.

It's much better than the original story where his heart meridian was destroyed, but without Avalon, his disadvantages are much greater.

Even though his body was already injured, Kiritsugu Emiya still insisted on shooting Kirei Kotomine.

But it was blocked...

Once again, he was blocked by the ruthless iron-fisted Kirei Kotomine!

To avoid fatal injuries, Kirei Kotomine caught the Origin Bullet with his bare hands.

The situation is similar now; he once again used his crippled right arm to block the bullet, truly making the most of his body.

He could probably use his right arm to block the attack again, since the bullet that Kiritsugu Emiya fired just now wasn't the Origin Bullet, so it got stuck in his arm.

Even with such pain and injuries, Kirei Kotomine still looked at Kiritsugu Emiya without changing his expression.

The Ruthless Iron Hand, Kirei Kotomine, is confirmed!

.

Clang!

The clanging of metal echoed through the dark forest, and the clanging continued.

"Hey!"

Another collision occurred as Huangfu Future and Artoria grappled, sparks flying like metal.

A clear fighting spirit and a surging battle intent were intertwined.

As Artoria possesses the 'Dragon's Heart,' she naturally has the matching... mana-consuming ability.

With her Master being Kiritsugu Emiya and her Strength only at B rank, she can only use 'Magic Release' to gain power comparable to that of Huangfu Mirai.

And this was the result without Huangfu Weilai using any magic.

However, the two tacitly used another of their inherent abilities—Intuition/Ultimate Acquisition Power!

Through their anticipation of the battle and their recollection of fragments of the future, the two men's attacks were merely clashes of weapons, utterly incapable of harming each other.

Clang!

Suddenly, Artoria seized an opportunity, swung her holy sword fiercely, forced Huangfu Future back, and then created distance between them.

Are you insulting me, Berserker?

“⊙w⊙???”

The sudden question left Huangfu Weilai bewildered, and she couldn't help but ask, "...What do you mean?"

"You can use your Noble Phantasm, so why are you humiliating me like this in battle?!" Her emerald green eyes stared at Huangfu Weilai, seemingly waiting for an answer.

This……

After all that, Huangfu Weilai finally understood what Artoria meant.

It's likely that even though his strength wasn't greatly diminished, he was still locked in hand-to-hand combat with Artoria. Even though he could have used his magic to suppress her, they ended up at an evenly matched level.

Isn't this an insult?

Those emerald green eyes seemed to speak volumes, conveying her thoughts, which left Huangfu Weilai helpless.

Indeed, he can unleash his Noble Phantasm, and even unleash the Black Omega Holy Sword.

But the problem is, I can't break through her defenses!

Since that's the case, it's better to slowly accumulate power and gradually deplete her magic power used by Avalon.

only…

“Your mind is in turmoil,” Huangfu Weilai said.

This kind of close combat can be considered a tactic, and Artoria should know that, but now she is questioning her as if Huangfu Weilai is humiliating her.

To be honest, Huangfu Weilai felt something was wrong, and even thought it was Artoria's doing.

"Phew... It's nothing, just some bad thoughts." Artoria took a deep breath, suppressing her agitated state, and barely managed to regain her composure.

These... they really do look similar.

Because I am a Berserker, am I affected by the weakening of the King's fighting spirit, like a certain Yangtze Knight?

Or is it because Irisviel transformed into a miniature Holy Grail?

Suddenly, Huangfu Weilai remembered something: the moment the Holy Grail descends will be the same moment 'All Evil at This Moment' descends.

So here's the problem: Huangfu Future, who didn't snatch the wife away beforehand, naturally has her in Emiya Kiritsugu's hands. Once the Holy Grail descends, a pile of black mud suddenly appears in the market...

This scene is just too beautiful...
