A person is in Type-Moon, goes out, and then picks up an Outer God girl?

Besides, at this moment, only himself, Arthur, Diarmuid, Caster, whose real name is still unknown, and Berserker, who has not appeared in this battle, are left in the entire Holy Grail War. If he were to leave with his Master, it would be a devastating blow to the already precarious alliance relationship.

At this time, rather than fleeing individually, perhaps maintaining an alliance and fighting the enemy together would offer a better chance...

Iskandar unusually did not interrupt the conflict between Arthur and Kenneth. At this moment, he was also calmly analyzing the current situation. However, Kenneth was talking incessantly without paying any attention to Iskandar and Arthur standing behind him, and completely and unilaterally tore up the alliance contract.

"Caster, I, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago, pledge all my honor to you. As long as you can have a close academic conversation with me, I promise you that you can send Lancer to do anything you want!"

"Master!"

After hearing these words, even Diarmuid instantly cleared the confusion in his eyes and stepped forward to stop Kayneth from continuing.

Asking him to do anything for Caster? Even Caster's true identity and purpose haven't been fully determined yet. If he wants to destroy the world, wouldn't he become an accomplice in the destruction of the world?

Such things made Diarmuid extremely resistant, but at this moment Kenneth restrained his smile to Caster and looked at Diarmuid who was rushing over.

"Are you going to disobey my orders, Diarmuid?"

Order?

Diarmuid stopped and held his sword and gun tightly, his face looking extremely ugly.

"If it is the order of the monarch, I will naturally obey..." Diarmuid responded in a deep voice, but soon his eyes became firm, and he directed his huge anger at Caster in the sky, who had not taken any action or said anything until now.

"But! I will never obey any order from that guy. Even if I commit suicide now, I will never do anything for him!"

Diarmuid was extremely angry. Being asked to help the evildoer was far worse than what he had done, which was eloping with the wife of the monarch he was supposed to serve. It was even more unacceptable to him.

His soul is still that of a noble knight. Even though he has done such things, he always regards himself as a noble knight and wants to prove that he is not a treacherous knight.

"Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, are you sure what you said is true?"

Caster's voice floated from far away, as if it came from a very far away place, across a very long time, and reached the ears of everyone present.

Everyone's eyes, including Diarmuid's, fell on Kayneth after hearing these words.

This was the first time they heard Caster communicate. Although it was impossible to judge the other person's inner thoughts by speculating on the tone of voice in such words, after all, such a voice was really difficult to recognize. It sounded like the voice had been blurred in some way and was presented to the ears of everyone at the time.

Despite this, both Arthur and Iskandar had consumed too much magic power in this battle and no longer had the ability to fight in all aspects. It can be said that at present, only Diarmuid, who was given the Three Basic Magic Furnaces by Kayneth, still had a chance to fight Caster.

All hopes are placed on Diarmuid, but the one who truly decides Diarmuid's fate is actually his master, Kenneth, who is planning something.

At this moment, Kayneth looked at Caster in the sky, the heat in his eyes was so obvious that it could not be easily ignored.

"Of course, my friend, the magic you master fascinates me greatly. If I could have an academic exchange with you, a great magician from the Age of Gods, I believe I would gain even more honor and authority within the Magic Association!"

That’s right, even if the magic of the Age of Gods cannot be used in modern times, the pursuit of magic from the Age of Gods is more about exploring the mystery and the unknown.

Kenneth believed that as long as he could have academic exchanges with such an outstanding magician of the Age of Gods, analyze the concepts of magic of the Age of Gods from him and pass them on to those who were interested in it in the Clock Tower, his position in the Clock Tower would be further consolidated and his influence would be more significant.

At least, this is what Diarmuid learned and analyzed from what Kenneth was currently expressing after spending the past two days with him.

What modern magicians pursue is far beyond his comprehension, but if he puts himself in Kayneth's shoes, Diarmuid will also understand why Kayneth chooses to communicate with Caster so urgently at this moment. For Caster, who is usually elusive, this may be a rare opportunity for direct communication.

However, the moment Kenneth finished speaking, Caster's voice followed.

"In that case, let's fulfill Lancer's wish and let him commit suicide."

Silence, deathly silence...

Even Diarmuid, who had made the declaration with the determination to rather die than surrender, could not help but be stunned on the spot.

"You must not let Lancer commit suicide, Teacher, are you sane?"

As soon as Irisviel opened her mouth, Waver Velvet spoke first. On his almost pleading face, there was a hint of guilt for what he had done to Kenneth.

"I know I stole the relic you carefully prepared, and even came here to prove my actions to you. It was foolish... But teacher... the only one who can fight Caster now is Lancer. Without your Lancer, how can we fight Caster?"

Whether it was taking away Kenneth's holy relics and coming to Fuyuki in advance to summon servants, or knowing that Kenneth had not given up participating in the Holy Grail War and had prepared new holy relics and came to Fuyuki, he wanted to defeat him head-on and prove to him that a person's achievements are definitely not determined by bloodline.

During his time here, or rather, the experiences he had had in these two short days, he had realized his own naiveté and immaturity. The gap between him and Teacher Kenneth was definitely not just a matter of bloodline; it also included their perspectives on things, their academic research, and their ability to remain calm in the face of adversity...

At this moment, Iskandar has lost the Wheel of Divine Power, and the King's Army needs some time to reorganize. Saber is no longer reliable. The only person who can deal with Caster at this moment is his teacher, and only his teacher's Lancer has a chance to try to defeat that weird Caster!

However, after such an "apology", Kenneth's expression became extremely calm, as if he had heard something meaningless, but when he looked at Weber, there was an indescribable anger hidden in his eyes.

“Waver Velvet, even now, you still insist that you took the holy relic that I prepared from me?”

Weber's face froze when he was reminded of this. He had originally wanted to wake up his teacher and tell him not to go too far down the irreversible path, but now he found it difficult to face Kenneth.

Yes, in fact, he stole Kenneth's holy relic, and even the money for the plane ticket from England to Fuyuki was borrowed from his best friend on the pretext of "telling him an interesting story he had never heard before when I return."

As if sensing that Iskandar was about to explain for Weber, Kenneth spoke first, continuing the unfinished words, interrupting Iskandar's movement to speak.

"Webber Velvet, you only think about yourself..."

Weber was speechless after hearing Kenneth's words. At this moment, he couldn't think of any words to refute what his teacher said. Even if he tried to persuade him, he couldn't say anything at this moment.

Witnessing the drama going on below, Duanmu Ye now only hated himself for not having the ability to conjure up melon seeds or watermelons out of thin air. If he could, he would have wanted to find a chair to sit down and see what Kenneth was up to.

As a master's degree holder, Duanmu Ye did not believe that Kenneth would have the idea of ​​having academic exchanges with him. As a monarch who had seen many storms and had rich experience and shrewdness, the pride of a magician that Kenneth held was definitely much higher than anyone else present.

Even Tōsaka Tokiomi, who is now missing, cannot compare to Kenneth's inner pride and pride in his own name. That is the confidence that his family and his honor give him.

Therefore, Kenneth must be plotting something at this moment, but without any contact with him, the pollen of the Mars Flower could not penetrate the layer of "Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid" attached to his body to control his consciousness and explore his psychology. Duanmu Ye could not figure out what Kenneth was planning at the moment.

Therefore, in order to eliminate Kenneth's potential hidden danger, Duanmu Ye could only let Lancer die temporarily...

Of course, letting Lancer commit suicide was not only to eliminate Kenneth's potential hidden dangers, but also to test whether Kenneth was really determined to contact him. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a test of loyalty.

"Swear allegiance to me and order him to commit suicide, or let me personally send you off? Make your choice, Kenneth. I believe you will make the right choice."

While conveying this message to Kenneth, Duanmu Ye only felt that some strange BGM suddenly sounded in his ears, but Duanmu Ye still kept his eyes on Kenneth below.

The slowly raised right hand flashed with a red light, and a hint of despair appeared on Diarmuid's face, but he did not take any action, quietly waiting for that moment to come.

He was not afraid of death. As a soldier, it was an honor to die on the battlefield, but suicide was the exact opposite.

Nevertheless, if the monarch he serves wants his death to accomplish something, then he can accept such an order and voluntarily die.

"Then... there is only one answer..."

"I give the order with the Command Seal, commit suicide... Diarmuid!"

Kenneth's words made Duanmu Ye frown. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but at this moment, Kenneth was missing a Command Seal in his hand, and at the moment the Command Seal disappeared, Diarmuid also raised the huge anger in his hand and stabbed it into his chest.

Why is it huge anger, and not the red rose that breaks the devil?

Duanmu Ye frowned and fell into some thought. As Diarmuid fell to the ground and turned into a magical light, his figure gradually began to disappear. Everything seemed to be happening just as it should.

But...Duanmu Ye always felt that something was not right...

"Great Caster, is my sincerity enough now?"

Kenneth was looking forward to it. The fire in his eyes never diminished, and even became even hotter after he ordered Diarmuid to commit suicide.

Waver thought he was crazy, Irisviel thought he was controlled by Caster, but only Kenneth himself knew what he was doing at the moment and what would happen next.

"as you wish......"

A figure in yellow in the sky slowly approached after hearing such a sacred voice. Kenneth was almost crazy with excitement, and was silently communicating with the other person in his heart.

"Lancer, you know what to do..."

-

I feel like I'm a little burned out... I'll write 8,000 today (crying)

Water, Wind, Flower: Chapter 75: Who is the Mantis? Who is the Yellow Bird?

Everything seemed to be going as Kenneth had envisioned. Caster, who had been floating above the bright moon and plotted against Archer and Saber with an extremely sinister scheme, was slowly descending because of his words, and was now at the same height as him.

Lancer died, killed by the suicide that Kenneth forced him to commit with the Command Spell. This scene made Iskandar feel sad and Arthur feel angry.

But they could not say anything, nor were they qualified to say anything, because Diarmuid went to his death voluntarily, obeying the orders of his "monarch" and committing suicide spontaneously.

Even though ordering a knight to commit suicide was a disgrace to him, Arthur had clearly lost the right to lecture him at this moment. The holy sword he relied on had been sealed due to Caster's conspiracy. Even if he could regain a handy sword weapon through Irisviel's existence, Arthur was almost certain that only the holy sword could defeat Caster...

But Arthur didn't despair over the sealed Holy Sword. This Holy Grail War wasn't just about that one Holy Sword. If he could regain Lancelot's trust and fight alongside him... Lancelot, possessing the indestructible light of the lake, a gift from the Spirit of the Lake, paired with the Sword of Promised Victory, would surely defeat Caster, for he was the strongest knight of the Round Table...

But now, Lancelot has not appeared yet. Only when he and Caster attacked him in the evening, his resentment and revenge were still fresh in Arthur's memory.

He had to find a way to leave here, to find Lancelot. If possible, he could take the Indestructible Lake Light from his hands. Even if it didn't have a world-saving Noble Phantasm, it could still be transformed into a Noble Phantasm of the same level as the Sword of Promised Victory. This would make Arthur believe in the future of defeating Caster.

"Eri, can you contact Kiritsugu? Have him create some chaos, and I'll get you out of here!"

Arthur spoke telepathically to the stunned Irisviel in his arms. As the most versatile Servant in the entire Holy Grail War, Saber, or rather, Arthur, could do almost everything the other Servants could. However, due to the limitations of his class, he did not have the power to summon Don Stallion, nor could he use the broken Sword in the Stone...

After coming back to her senses, Irisviel clenched the hand that Kenneth had just shaken away. For her, those words were vicious words that she could not easily take back. Yes, those words were extremely vicious, so vicious that they made her thinking seriously confused.

What did she mean by "she's just an Einzbern android?"? What did she mean by "she's just a tool wearing a similar appearance to him, trying to become a human like him?"? She was clearly a human, clearly...

Irisviel bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, her eyes trembling constantly. The impact that Kenneth had on her was not warmed by Arthur's magic, and she was constantly comforted in Arthur's arms, but those words were like a steel nail filled with vicious curses, deeply embedded in her heart.

Even so, at Arthur's words, Irisviel took the initiative to use the Einzbern family's special communication magic to contact Emiya Kiritsugu, who had not taken any action so far. However, the moment the connection was established, Irisviel's eyes widened at Emiya Kiritsugu's voice.

"I already understand the battle situation over there. Saber's defeat is understandable. That Caster is clearly well aware of the information on every Servant in this Holy Grail War and probably has the ability to see through their true names."

How could this happen? Kiritsugu doesn't care about the current crisis at all!

Irisviel couldn't believe that Emiya Kiritsugu would state such a fact so coldly at this moment, as if he had no concern for the crisis that she and Saber were facing right now...

However, Kiritsugu's voice soon followed.

"Relax, Eri. Believe in Saber's ability. You still have the scabbard that summons Saber in your body, so don't worry about getting hurt. Even that Caster can't harm you."

Emiya Kiritsugu's concerned words made Irisviel look a little dazed. Although they were concerned, she could not hear any concern in them. After nine years of living together, Irisviel could easily detect those things that were not right in Emiya Kiritsugu's words, but she could not tell for a moment whether it was an illusion caused by Kenneth, or whether Kiritsugu really...really decided to give up this place?

This answer made Irisviel hesitate a little. She couldn't be sure of Emiya Kiritsugu's true purpose, but she still tentatively asked the other end of the communication magic.

At this moment, standing in an office building at the commanding heights of Fuyuki City's commercial street, far away from the new capital where the tide had receded, and even from the port in the center of the battlefield that had turned into ruins, Kiritsugu Emiya's sniper rifle was firmly locked on a room eight hundred meters away.

In the scene seen through the sniper scope in his hand, Kiritsugu Emiya saw an orange-haired girl curled up in a dark corner, who was even crawling on the ground in a twisted manner.

The base where he first conducted observations was not here, but at the maximum distance from Irisviel, the maximum distance that a bullpup sniper rifle could hit, where he could see Irisviel and Kenneth's movements.

Even though they should have worked together to expel such a monster, Emiya Kiritsugu had to admit that for a moment he wanted to shoot Kenneth on the spot the moment he approached Irisviel alone.

As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman gains. When everyone's attention is focused on a monster like that, it is often the best opportunity to assassinate the other Servants who are exposed to the field of vision because of that monster.

However, by chance, Emiya Kiritsugu discovered another figure on a rooftop at the limit of sniper rifle range, away from where Irisviel and Kayneth were.

Tōsaka Tokiomi... As the only local tyrant in Fuyuki at the moment, and the current head of the Tōsaka family who controls the Fuyuki spiritual veins, unlike the Einzbern's android technology, his appearance seems a bit too risky.

In fact, Emiya Kiritsugu felt that it was natural for the Masters hiding in the dark to come out in such a crisis, and he was ready to shoot him to eliminate the threat posed by Archer.

As for the destruction of the Matou family, as a professional magician killer, he was not so much worried about the next Holy Grail War, but rather that Caster's Master had the same code of conduct as him, and acted too decisively and too quickly. The Holy Grail War had just begun, and it seemed as if his goal was to directly destroy the ancient family that had been entrenched in Fuyuki for hundreds of years.

Therefore, considering the destruction of the Matou family, he decided to observe for a while longer and witnessed the scene of Tōsaka Tokiomi using the Command Seal. In fact, as seen in the picture, Archer, driven by the Command Seal, hit the sea demon with the released Noble Phantasm.

After doing all this, Tōsaka Tokiomi left the rooftop, and he followed him, but it seemed that some other factors interfered, causing him to lose his trace even though he possessed quite professional tracking skills after following Tōsaka Tokiomi into the commercial street.

Having lost their target, they decided to go to the most critical vantage point for further observation. Then they saw the orange-haired girl crawling on the ground in a dark and twisted manner...

Could that be Caster's Master?

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but think of Hisau Maiya's speculation. The "Caster" who appeared in his sight at that moment might not be the real Caster. Perhaps a Servant with the ability to paint created his existence through some kind of creative method, that is, a so-called pseudo-Servant, a so-called phantom spirit.

However, at this moment, through the information collected from that "Caster", no matter how you look at it, there are only genuine servants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the real "Heroic Spirits". It's just that the status of the phantom spirit cannot reach that level at all.

So, after receiving the news from Hisau Maiya that Archer was destroyed by Saber, Emiya Kiritsugu gave up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue Tōsaka Tokiomi and stayed to confirm whether the orange-haired girl was Caster's Master.

However, all he saw during this time was people squatting in the shadows and muttering to themselves, crawling darkly and twistedly on the ground, and other behaviors that Kiritsugu Emiya could not understand.

This mental state... is truly worrying. He doesn't look like someone who can be a Master at all. He looks more like a child with Jade Syndrome...

Whenever he thought of this answer, Emiya Kiritsugu would always doubt his own expertise. It seemed as if every time he tracked someone, he would always be the wrong one. Could it be that the nine years he spent with Einzbern had caused some errors in his experience and judgment?

With this thought in mind, Emiya Kiritsugu answered the call from Irisviel, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.

After unilaterally ending the communication magic from Irisviel, Emiya Kiritsugu slowly stood up and extinguished the cigarette in his mouth.

There were quite a lot of cigarette remnants beside him. Looking at the surrounding Fuyuki City, which was almost entirely in ruins, there was a hint of confusion in Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes.

At present, almost all characters that need to be assassinated have lost their value. Archer's death means that Tōsaka Tokiomi has withdrawn from the Holy Grail War. Kenneth made a deal with Caster, and Lancer was even forced to commit suicide by him using the Command Seal.

The only one left, Waver Velvet, was a guy who would kill himself if no one cared about him. He had done nothing, yet it seemed as if he had done everything. The most troublesome servants who participated in the Holy Grail War had all withdrawn for various reasons, and their masters had been targeted because of Caster.

“Maiya, are you sure the explosives you buried are waterproof?”

After a long silence, Emiya Kiritsugu took the initiative to contact Hisau Maiya at the port, and the latter's voice gradually came after the inquiry.

"Don't worry, Kiritsugu. Although the tsunami and waves just now destroyed most of the burial sites, for various reasons, those containers that have been physically reinforced are also filled with explosives that are enough to blow up a building."

"Is that so... Let's observe Kayneth's actions. If he really shows any signs of acquiring some forbidden magecraft from that Caster, we should detonate it immediately."

"Then where is Madam Ellie..."
