Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Indeed, if I must say, even if he was just teasing himself, the warmth conveyed by Morgan's words and actions towards Shiomi was something that could not be found between Kenneth and Solaw at this moment.

How could this happen... Shiomi felt as if she had been shocked.

A Servant and a Master who have only known each other for three days are closer than those who have made marriage vows?

Shiomi felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and a slight feeling of suffocation came to his mind. He thought he was also affected by the mercury vapor, and hurriedly used his magic power to protect himself.

not at all……

I had already used the second type of original rune to protect myself, so it was impossible for me to be affected by this deterioration in the environment.

“You…what are you doing? Go back to your room, Solaw!” Kenneth wailed in panic, “You’ll die if you run out like this!”

"What are you talking about? It's obviously your fault for not fighting well. If you die, will I be safe?" Solaw disagreed.

The fiancé who had boasted so much just a moment ago now looked so embarrassed. Solaw looked down on Kenneth even more.

If Kayneth hadn't died, Lancer would have chosen to withdraw on his own. She wouldn't be willing to treat him. At the very least... she had to get the Command Seal from Kayneth.

Xi Jian looked at the two of them coldly, with an inexplicable feeling of pity rising in his heart. He slowly raised his hand, and a red gun appeared in his hand. "The gun is me, and I am the gun..."

Kenneth, who was receiving treatment, saw the magic power emanating from the weapon in Shiomi's hand and knew that the other party would not sit idly by and watch him receive treatment and recover.

Kenneth's instinct as a magus told him that the red spear that looked similar to Lancer's Noble Phantasm was very dangerous.

In other words, it is a treasure held by a living person...

"A sure kill, Gae Bolg Alternative!"

"Danger, Solau! Vollstandige Verteidigung (Complete defense)!"

It was too late. Kenneth suddenly pushed Solau away and used his magic power to make the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid move again, transforming it into a shield to block the attack from the red spear.

Meaningless.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which should have been as strong as a city wall, was easily pierced like jelly, making a smooth cutting sound.

The red spear flew out of Xijian's hand.

Kenneth was knocked away by the gun, passed in front of Solaw who hadn't reacted yet, and was nailed to the wall behind him.

The target is the heart, and if you shoot, you will hit it.

“… Actually, it’s…”

Looking at the magic spear that pierced his heart with disbelief, Kenneth finally knew the real name of the weapon. However, it was too late for him to say it out loud as he slowly stopped breathing.

Shiomi slowly turned around, the Death Shodown Spear retreated, and Kenneth's body fell from the wall.

Since Kenneth wanted to kill me, I don't need to be polite. I can just borrow his head.

Whether you can survive depends on your ability.

Behind him, Solaw finally reacted and let out a miserable wail towards the body of his fiancé, as if he had finally begun to understand reality.

Chapter 39: Reward for Death Fight

The battle that took place on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel must have been known to the Holy Church. So even if the alarm sounded, Shiomi knew that the church would take over as quickly as possible to cover up and deal with the aftermath.

Next, he just needed to evacuate the hotel with Morgan.

But before evacuating, there is one last thing that must be dealt with, and that is the Gun Servant standing in front of them.

At this moment, Diarmuid Odina was covered in wounds. His light cloth armor was torn and the exposed skin was bleeding everywhere. The blood completely dyed this Celtic hero, and he looked like he had just crawled out of hell.

He was leaning on the red gun in his right hand and barely holding the yellow gun in his left hand. One of his eyes could no longer be opened, blood was flowing from his forehead, most of his face was covered in blood, and there were residual bloodstains at the corners of his mouth.

"Are you still alive?" Shiomi asked admiringly.

There is no record of Diarmuid continuing to fight after receiving a fatal injury, so as a Servant, he should not have the skill of continuing the battle.

In this way, what supported the Servant Lancer to return to the top floor was his will, or long-cherished wish, to fight until the last moment when his spiritual base dissipated.

"Let me be clear in advance. I will not show any mercy." Morgan let out an inaudible sigh.

The five clones she left behind should have been able to kill Lancer downstairs, but in the end, Lancer still held on. After destroying all the clones, he dragged his remaining body to catch up.

"Of course... I'll just fight to the death..." Lancer's voice became ethereal.

In a few minutes, he would disappear completely because of the death of his master Kenneth and the limit of his own spiritual foundation.

Although Kenneth analyzed the seance ritual of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, he left the part of providing magic power to the servants to his fiancée Soraw.

Kenneth is the only lord that Lancer recognizes.

"Your master has died in the battle. There is no need for you to continue fighting." Xi Jian lowered his eyes and advised helplessly.

"Yeah... I know..." Lancer smiled weakly.

Diarmuid, who is known for his glorious appearance, exudes an extraordinary warrior charm at this moment.

He glanced at the crying Solawu.

Lancer tried his best to catch up, but could only see Kenneth dead in battle. He suddenly felt a sense of untimely relief and comfort in his heart.

Lord Solau, who doesn't like Kayneth, will probably realize what is truly precious after seeing Kayneth risking his life to save him, Diarmuid said in his heart.

"...But..." He struggled to stand up straight, and this time he completely threw away the yellow spear in his hand, "...Since the master has fought to the last moment...the knight should also follow him to the death..."

He dragged his wounded body, swaying as he stood firm with the gun in both hands.

In his current state, he could only make one more move at most. Whether he could win or not was no longer important. This Celtic hero was just doing what he wanted to do and fulfilling his obligations until the last moment.

"I understand."

Shiomi said calmly, spreading his hands again and preparing to summon the Spear of Death.

That was his apprenticeship gift, and it was also a true treasure that existed in the world and was not possessed by a servant.

There are two reasons why it is not used as a catalyst.

One is that Master Scathach will definitely not be summoned.

The second is that Xijian himself simply had no intention.

For him, this gun is one of his trump cards.

However, the moment he opened his hands, the black magic spear fell into his hands first.

Turning her head to look at Morgan, she handed over the weapon silently, with no extra emotions in her eyes. Her eyes were firm and did not allow for any refusal.

After nodding silently, Xi Jian grasped the magic spear with one hand, turned sideways and pointed the spear blade directly at Lancer's forehead.

The air flowing in the messy top floor building, carrying the smell of blood and fire lingered at the tip of Xijian Tianxi's nose, and his heart gradually calmed down.

Everything was silent, the palm of my hand was completely dry, and the magic spear fit firmly against my hand.

crackling——

The sound of paint peeling off the walls damaged by the battle became the signal for the start of war.

Diarmuid's eyes suddenly opened, with an unparalleled sharp light flashing in his eyes. He stepped forward with all his strength, and the tip of the gun passed through a tortuous route, and the sharp blade reflected a dazzling cold light.

He heard the sound of air tearing, as if the most ferocious snake in the jungle was biting its target.

But Diarmuid saw that Shiomi's body had turned into a blurry afterimage, and a sharp blade shot out from the afterimage, taking a straight path, and the two passed each other with a sharp whistle.

More blood flowed and fell to the floor, and Diarmuid's red spear also fell from his hand and fell to the floor.

The pool of blood beneath him slowly expanded, and Lancer fell to his knees helplessly.

"...beautiful..." he exclaimed with his last words.

Xi Jian grabbed the upper part of the magic spear and swung it hard, splashing all the blood on the ground. "Thank you for the compliment."

Morgan, who was watching the fight from the side, slowly followed Shiomi's footsteps and left with him in silence.

Lancer felt his consciousness gradually becoming weaker. His soul core had just been completely shattered by Shiomi's attack. Even with the three Command Spells, he could no longer continue fighting.

The Servant of the Spear lost, but his heart was fulfilled at this moment.

During his lifetime, he was unable to remain loyal to the very end, but after his death, he fought to the very end as a servant with his master.

It is not impossible to say that I have no regrets at all. I was victorious in every battle in my life, but as a servant, I was unable to achieve a victory and was unable to dedicate the victory to my master.

He even failed to protect his lord, causing him to die in battle.

The battlefield is ruthless and the situation of soldiers is ever-changing.

The Holy Grail War brings together heroes from all ages, and this is all I can do since I am not as skilled as them.

He saw Solaw fainted due to the double impact, and wanted to do something as a subordinate, but the short distance of ten meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm that prevented him from moving even a bit.

The darkness was torn apart by the faint light, and Diarmuid suddenly opened his eyes. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the hotel, he saw that this city, which was far away from the era in which he lived, had welcomed another morning.

Suddenly, Diarmuid Odinah thought he saw Princess Grania, Finn MacCool, and the Knights of Fiona.

If possible, he wanted to tell his old friends about his short two-day battle.

And an enemy beyond imagination.

"First... let me start with the warrior who appeared before me, like the great god Odin, accompanied by a flock of crows..."

After silently starting it in his mind, Diarmuid Odina smiled slightly at the way he described himself and disappeared into the dim morning light of Fuyuki.

Holy Grail War, Night 2.

Lancer, defeated.

Chapter 40 Leisure time after the battle

Lancer retreated and destroyed the first group of enemies.

Despite fighting a series of battles throughout the night, Shiomi was still in high spirits because of the victory and did not feel sleepy at all.

When we got home, it was just dawn and Shiomi seemed to have not seen him for a long time. She started to prepare breakfast for the family in a lively manner.

"You don't even take a break, and are busy with daytime tasks." Morgan leaned against the door between the kitchen and the dining room, watching Shiomi busying around. "Lancer's defeat may soon be spread to the Holy Church."

The Holy Church holds the Spirit Disc that monitors the Holy Grail War and uses it to observe the fact that the Servants of all parties are defeated.

"I know. But we have to fight the Holy Grail War and live our lives." Shiomi grilled mackerel in the home oven. "Sakura and Kallen won't be able to go to school in the next few days. I'm going to ask for leave for them, saying that they have an emergency and need to visit their relatives."

Even if he didn't say it, Morgan knew it in his heart, so he didn't refute Shiomi's attitude, but just continued talking about the Holy Grail War.

"Also, there are two things you may not have noticed." Morgan smiled confidently.

"What's the matter?" Xijian listened attentively.

Morgan nodded, "First, the man you saved is the real Master who signed the contract with Altria. The android is only the Master in name only."

"I know this. The Command Seal on the back of Emiya Kiritsugu's hand has already exposed this fact." Shiomi said, "After all, he went to the Einzbern family nine years ago. The current situation should be just a tactic to hide the Master."

"The second is the Einzbern android. She is the Little Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War." Morgan said, "So when Lancer is defeated, she will be the first to react." Morgan told Shiomi.

Xi Jian was stunned for a moment, "Giving the Holy Grail a human form..."

He had found no such records in previous Holy Grail Wars. Perhaps the Einzbern, who were responsible for providing the Small Holy Grail, had learned from past lessons and changed their tactics and strategies.

"But after all, Fuyuki's Holy Grail is a system built by Toosaka, Matou, and Einzbern. As founders, it's not surprising that they have some privileges." Shiomi no longer thought about deeper issues.

For example, as the Holy Grail War progresses, what will be the fate of the androids who are the Lesser Holy Grail?

That was not a place he could reach, and the other party had his own will and did not need any extra pity from others.

"Besides, Caster failed in his subjugation last night. That Servant is obviously not the type to just force his way through." Shiomi turned the mackerel over and continued grilling it. "We have to hurry up, otherwise we don't know how many victims there will be."

"Except for Assassin who continues to operate in secret, there are only four groups that can take action." Morgan said, "As for the Command Seals obtained after the crusade, you don't have to worry too much about them."

When she said this, she looked at Shiomi and said, "By the way, did the Master of Assassin who you defeated also run away?"

"No, he was rescued by his own servant." Xijian shook his head.

After he saw Hisau Maiya come out, he turned around to chase Kirei, but when he got there, he only saw the marks left by Kirei's collision with the ground.

Only one of his hands was broken by Shiomi. With magic healing and the iron training that the agent has undergone, he would probably be able to recover by now and go back to the battlefield tomorrow.

Originally, Shiomi wanted to make Kirei as powerless as possible and exclude him from the Holy Grail War.

After all, if Kirei were to be killed in the Holy Grail War someday, Shiomi would have to take some time to adjust and continue to take care of Kallen with good intentions and without any worries.

Now it seems that this goal cannot be achieved, so there is nothing we can do.

Last night was quite fruitful. Not only did we eliminate the Lancer camp, but we also managed to save a boy from Caster. On the way back, we quietly put him in the police station.
