Hisau Maiya's voice caused some hesitation to appear on Emiya Kiritsugu's face. Even though he had already made up his mind, the weight of Airi and Illya in his heart was enough to make him hesitate at this moment.
In the silence, Hisau Maiya did not make any interruptions. She knew that Emiya Kiritsugu needed to think alone and get the answer by himself.
"Eri has that scabbard. If those old men in Einzbern didn't lie to me, that scabbard is enough to protect her from that kind of damage..."
There was not just one container of explosives that was enough to blow up a building. Almost all the explosives accumulated so far were used and buried in the port where the battle was most likely to take place. That was the first judgment made after witnessing Ryunosuke Uryu's body being devoured.
At this moment, whether the explosives could kill spirits like Servants was no longer important. What was important was to kill them all before Kenneth became Caster's accomplice, and to force the existing Servants to exit as much as possible.
Even though, among those people, there was also Irisviel...
After receiving this answer, Hisau Maiya looked into the distance, at Kenneth who was walking towards Caster.
In Caster's hand, a golden radiance suddenly appeared...
Melon seeds?
Water, Wind, Flower: Chapter 11: Want to save the country in a roundabout way? Even if you make all the preparations, you still die? (15/
"Duanmu...that strange guy is gone! Thanks to my superb acting skills, I easily got away with it! Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not suspected by that guy!"
Van Gogh's voice came to his mind, and an invisible drop of water flowed down Duanmu Ye's forehead.
Honestly, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of abstract things Van Gogh had done to make Emiya Kiritsugu dispel his suspicion of her. You have to know that anyone targeted by Emiya Kiritsugu will become the target of his exclusion without exception. Even if there is only a slight uncertainty, as long as he can be sure that the person has something to do with what he is thinking, with Emiya Kiritsugu's methods, he will exclude them without hesitation.
Of course, there is also a special situation that will make Kiritsugu Emiya give up monitoring and screening a person, or even give up the idea of eliminating him, that is, to determine that the target has lost the value of exclusion, that is, to give up the action of eliminating the target.
Since Kiritsugu Emiya was able to notice Van Gogh, he must have had a certain degree of suspicion about Van Gogh. Since he had a certain degree of suspicion, Kiritsugu Emiya must have already set up his sniper rifle. Since he had already set up his sniper rifle, Kiritsugu Emiya must have calculated the range and wind resistance and prepared for the assassination.
But it was obvious that at this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu did not assassinate Van Gogh, but locked onto Van Gogh for a long, long time, and observed Van Gogh for a long, long time, so long that at this moment, Kenneth had completely torn his face with Irisviel and Waver Velvet, tore up the previous alliance, and ordered Lancer to commit suicide.
Kenneth was indeed missing one of his Command Seals, and Diarmuid indeed committed suicide in front of his eyes. His death could not be denied, and in Duanmu Ye's impression, Diarmuid did not have the combat endurance of Cu Chulainn.
Looking at Kenneth who was gradually becoming parallel to him, Duanmu Ye always felt that things were developing a little too smoothly, so smoothly that he could only attribute Kenneth's sudden betrayal to the hint of the Water Priest or the pollen of the Martian flower. Otherwise, how could it be possible that a guy like Kenneth, who possessed the magic gift of Super Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, would jump out and betray him in the first place?
Something was wrong, nine out of ten things were wrong, so wrong that even after witnessing the use of the Command Spell and Lancer's suicide, Duanmu Ye still believed that this was a plan of Kenneth's.
Duanmu Ye didn't agree with it and wasn't sure what Kenneth was thinking when he was doing all the current operations, but there was no doubt that every word he said to Irisviel was heartbreaking, and his words to Weber Velvet were even more to the point.
The relationship between them has broken down. Through Kenneth's hands, the alliance that was once a cooperative relationship has been destroyed to an irreparable point.
At this moment, Duanmu Ye could not think of any other way to save the country except by deviating from the path taken by Kiryu Sento and others in a roundabout way, like Utsumi Nariaki in Kamen Rider Buid, and taking revenge on Evolto in a way that the protagonists had never imagined.
However, the next moment after thinking of this, Duanmu Ye's mind was like a bunch of fireworks blooming in the air. After thinking about the content of the next set, he suddenly had a more appropriate explanation for Kenneth's actions than his previous guess.
if it is like this......
Looking in the direction of Kenneth again, Duanmu Ye's expression became interesting. It was not because he was interfered with by Nia Latotep again, but Duanmu Ye really wanted to see what Kenneth's roundabout way of saving the country would look like and to what extent he could achieve it?
He did use the Command Seal, and Diarmuid disappeared without a trace after completing his suicide. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was really dead.
But if we understand it as the development of Utsumi Nariaki's roundabout way of saving the country with Evolto, then whether Lancer is really dead at this moment remains to be seen. Duanmu Ye thinks that the specific plot development will only take place after he comes into contact with Kenneth.
"Duanmu...that lemon head guy said he wants to have an academic exchange with you...but we don't have anything to show for it...I...I can't do anything except painting..."
Even though her body and personality were those of the Greek nymph Clytie from the Age of Gods, just as the voice in Van Gogh's mind said at this moment, she did not know any magic or tricks to deceive people. Apart from relying on the painting talent brought by "Van Gogh", she could not even hurt others with her fists.
The scene of Van Gogh repeatedly punching his chest with his fists was still fresh in his memory, but Duanmu Ye did not miss the past at this moment.
"Who said we don't have it?"
Duanmu Ye smiled indifferently. Although only Van Gogh, who had a contract with him, could see his true appearance, Duanmu Ye did smile and raised his arm at this moment, and his pale and skinny arm, like a mummy, stretched out from the tattered sleeves that fluttered in the wind.
Since they all think they are Pharaoh, then as they wish, let them confirm their identity as Pharaoh through what they reveal, and then reveal their true self in the end.
At this moment, the excitement in Kenneth's eyes as he walked slowly forward was beyond words. He did not waver in the slightest after losing his familiar. Even facing the anger and contempt coming from behind, he did not care at all and continued to walk towards Caster who was also in front of him and parallel to his line of sight.
As they got closer, the figure in yellow made some movements. Both Arthur and Iskandar entered combat readiness again, but Kenneth quickened his pace as if possessed.
As his arm stretched out from the cloak, Kenneth saw the sunflower seeds in the palm of his hand, which gradually sparkled with warm light. The sunflower seeds looked like some kind of prop, filled with rich magic power, and the golden light emanating from their bodies was even warmer and softer than the light of hope gathered by the Sword of Promised Victory.
There is no doubt that this is a product of the Age of Gods, the sunflower seeds of the Age of Gods!
There are countless legends about the delicacies and fine wines possessed by the gods, including golden apples that can keep one young forever, springs that can bring endless knowledge, and wines that can heal everything... These props that the gods possess are enough to drive modern magicians crazy, even if what appears before them is a sunflower seed whose purpose is unknown or even unheard of.
Such sunflower seeds are really too sacred, so sacred that compared with the Caster who took them out, they are simply worlds apart.
Even Iskandar, the Macedonian conqueror, found it hard to believe that such a strange Cster could produce such a sacred item. Although he had never seen such an item before, he was almost certain that something with such a gentle aura was something only a god could produce. As for which god in which mythological system... Iskandar was at a loss to explain...
Compared to the demands expressed by Kenneth, Iskandar's shock, and even the doubts raised by Van Gogh in his mind, Duanmu Ye, who knew exactly what the sunflower seeds in his hand were, did not show much emotion because of their reactions.
Although he would be happy to see Evolto's famous scenes appear before his eyes or even on his own body, Duanmu Ye was not a fool, nor was he an arrogant and insane idiot like Gilgamesh.
He is not yet to the point where he would lose himself just for the sake of having fun, and he will not ignore the threats brought about by such a roundabout way of saving the country just for the sake of having fun.
This is almost the crystallization of Usum's ability. Because it was influenced by the individual Van Gogh, the fruit of the "flower" was transformed into the seed of the "sunflower".
While he was thinking, Kenneth's figure stopped at two hands' distance in front of him. In his eyes was the madness that Duanmu Ye was most familiar with, that was the thirst for knowledge and the desire to explore the unknown.
Kenneth's appearance did not seem to be false at all, but at this moment, no matter whether Kenneth's attitude was real or not, he had to take this "fruit" that could directly control him.
"This fruit can bring you the knowledge of the Age of Gods and the method of immortality. Take it, for it is what you seek..."
Words like the voice of the Tao resounded through the sky. The golden fruit slowly rose into the sky and floated towards Kenneth the next moment.
The ability to achieve immortality? Kayneth wasn't obsessed with pursuing that kind of thing, but the knowledge of the Age of Gods that Caster had mentioned did indeed stir his heart.
You know, beside him, there is a person who once arrived in the fairy realm and had his heart taken away by the fairies, thus obtaining the secret of teleportation from the fairy realm.
As for Hatteras, the only evaluation Kenneth could make was that he was an absolutely excellent magician, a genius among geniuses in learning magic!
But as the saying goes, geniuses often have obsessions that ordinary people cannot understand. Hatreth, who often wears the idea of reviving the magic of the Age of Gods on his face, is the head of the Modern Magic Department, but he regards this idea as a lifelong wish...
Faced with such temptation, Kayneth, with Hatteras's face emerging in his mind, had to admit that if the person who took out the sunflower seed was not Caster, who had brought so many disasters, he would have accepted the sunflower seed without hesitation, which contained the so-called method of immortality and the knowledge of the Age of Gods.
But... now he was facing this Caster who was full of weirdness. It was Caster who made the honeymoon trip he had carefully planned with his fiancée Sora so bad!
As early as when he realized that something was wrong with Caster, he used his position as the Lord of the Clock Tower to send his fiancée Sora back to London. Although Sora was a little resistant to being sent back to London, fortunately, she finally chose to take the last flight back to London this afternoon.
Kenneth, who had not had any contact with Lancer and had read many rumors and epics, knew that Diarmuid, who was given a teardrop mole that could charm women by Argus, the god of love and youth, might cause some subtle changes in his fiancée Sora. From the moment he summoned Lancer, he concealed the existence of Lancer from Sora. After arriving in Fuyuki with Sora, he would not hesitate to let Lancer transform into a spirit whenever Sora was present to avoid something like what happened to Finn in the legend.
Even though he had gone through all the experience to avoid all risks to the best extent, the appearance of Caster disrupted his original beautiful honeymoon plan.
Therefore, at this moment, he must make this Caster pay a certain price!
Even Diarmuid, with his immense rage, might not be their match against the two monsters before. However, Kayneth had enough confidence to face this Caster. At this moment, with the help of Lancer's fake death, he had the opportunity to get close to Caster and make it relax its guard a little, so that Lancer could launch a sneak attack in secret, and use the magic sword's characteristic of winning the first battle to catch Caster off guard!
After all, Diarmuid committed suicide, what does it have to do with Lancer?
The Diarmuid in history was already dead, and the one who appeared here at this moment was merely a spirit composed of magic power with the abilities and weapons of the hero Diarmuid, and could only be called a Lancer, a familiar!
Just as his outstretched hands were about to touch the glowing sunflower seeds, Kenneth crossed the red line that no one had drawn but was firmly there.
"Right now, I give the order with the Command Seal..."
The figure rushing towards Caster was gradually wrapped in a layer of water shadow from the front. That was the effect of the supreme magic equipment developed by Kenneth, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.
Diarmuid, who was supposed to be dead, appeared as the words were spoken. He appeared behind Caster with a red light flashing in his hands, but his face was filled with grief and anger that was difficult to conceal.
The golden fruit burst out with many rays of light at the moment the accident happened. They were like living tentacles, bypassing Kenneth's prepared front end, and tearing Kenneth apart alive from the back which had not yet been covered by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.
The sacred fruit became a fatal disaster. Before anyone could react, Kenneth had turned into a flat pool of meat paste. Only the golden hair remaining in the meat paste was the proof that he had ever existed.
He did not receive any amplification from the Command Seals, but the Three Element Mana Furnaces he possessed granted him the ability to manifest independently at an extremely high level. At this moment, just as the immense rage that shone with the might of the Noble Phantasm in his hand was overwhelming, he felt an incomparable rage towards Caster, who had killed the monarch he served.
"Caster, give me your head!"
Water, Wind, and Flower: Chapter 77: The Lancer team's complete exit, and the magic furnace is obtained!
Kenneth's death was far more real than Lancer's suicide just now, and it shocked everyone even more.
Before this, both Waver Velvet and Irisviel had almost concluded from what Kenneth had shown that he had betrayed them, that he had betrayed their alliance in pursuit of knowledge from the Age of Gods.
After all, such words struck directly at the heart of both Irisviel and Waver Velvet, to the point of breaking their defenses. Even Arthur and Iskandar felt that Kenneth's words were a bit too targeted, but they never thought that Kenneth said such heartless words just to make Caster let down his guard.
Even in Iskandar's opinion, with Lancer as the main force, even if Saber lost the holy sword that could work miracles, even if he lost too many wheels of divine power and part of the King's Army, facing a monster like the previous one might be a bit tricky, but if it was just Caster, he would not be unable to defeat it.
After all, they had a team of three, and facing Caster who only had one person, the advantage should be on their side, so how could they possibly need such a strategy?
However, Iskandar had assumed this before, and because of this, he continued to criticize Kenneth, who had betrayed the alliance, to Weber Velvet through telepathy.
At this moment, Weber Velvet, who witnessed the death of his teacher, opened his eyes wide. He stared blankly at the few golden hairs and the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid mixed in the bloody flesh and blood on the ground, as if those things were all proving to him what had just happened.
Just like it's hard to believe that the knowledgeable teacher Kenneth would abandon the honor of being a monarch and the El-Melloi family for something like Age of Gods magic, abandon the title of genius he was given since birth, and spend the first half of his life proving to the Magic Association that his talent as a magician is worthy of the title of genius.
Weber Velvet also didn't believe that after such a "disguise", even he believed that Kenneth had betrayed himself and others. Such an excellent and great teacher could actually die at Caster's hands.
As his thoughts gradually returned to his mind, the abuse he had suffered when he was with Kenneth seemed to have turned into some kind of harsh instruction. Although the words were extremely harsh, it seemed as if Teacher Kenneth was right. He was indeed a loser who couldn't even learn magic. He was a coward who would panic when encountering any problems and even anxiously look for a way out.
Every little detail of his time with Teacher Kenneth made Weber Velvet feel extremely guilty and even sad. In such a state, his sight was gradually pulled back from his memories to the tragic scene of reality. The meat paste mixed with a little Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was the proof of Teacher Kenneth's existence. After seeing this scene, Weber Velvet felt an uncontrollable nausea in his stomach. He even vomited on the back of Bucephalus summoned by Iskandar.
Irisviel, who was blindfolded by Arthur at the first moment, did not fail to see what happened to Kenneth. Kenneth's death was too sudden. From the time he approached Caster, in order to better attract Caster's attention and allow Lancer who appeared later to launch a surprise attack, the psychological pressure that Kenneth endured from the subjugation was far more than anyone present could have imagined.
Betrayal of allies, lying dormant just to carry out one's own plans, no one knows this feeling better than Irisviel.
During the nine years she had been with Kiritsugu, she had never mentioned to him what kind of work he was doing before coming to Einzbern, nor had she ever tried to understand what kind of mood Kiritsugu was in when he was doing his work.
Just by sitting next to Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel could feel the endless resentment surging from his body, but rather than resentment, it was more like some kind of "malice". Even if what Kiritsugu did was good enough to save most people, for the small number of people he had abandoned, what Kiritsugu did was absolute evil.
Therefore, bearing the mental pressure and the malice caused by the curse of those who died because of him, Irisviel was very clear about such emotional fluctuations. Therefore, she had to admit that Kenneth was worthy of being the monarch of the Magic Association. He hid such pressure and the evil of the curse extremely well. It was so good that only just before he was killed by Caster, such pressure was released and truly revealed.
Kenneth's behavior was undoubtedly stupid. In order to create an excellent "first-battle kill" situation for Lancer, he betrayed his allies and severely damaged them in order to deceive Caster, who was in a high position, with lies. However, he died at the hands of Caster because of his cleverness.
Witnessing the scene where Kenneth was killed by the tentacles that looked like the sun and was instantly crushed into a pulp by the magical power from the divine pressure, Irisviel closed her eyes in despair. She felt unprecedented regret for Kenneth's passing.
Also surprised was Hisau Maiya, who was about to press the button of the chain detonator that had been prepared under her.
With the help of the telescope, she could see everything that happened on the dock from a considerable distance. Whether it was Kenneth blaming Weber Velvet or Kenneth scolding Irisviel, she could see it clearly.
Kiritsugu's order was to reduce the number of opponents in the entire Holy Grail War to the minimum regardless of cost, price, or consequences. Even though Irisviel's name was on the list, Kiritsugu Emiya still gave such an order.
In addition to being surprised by such an order, Hisau Maiya was even more delighted. She was surprised by the true return of the hero who had saved her and given her a name.
During the nine years that Emiya Kiritsugu stayed in the Einzbern Castle, she never forgot that Emiya Kiritsugu saved her from the ruins after the war, and after giving her a name, he taught her all the useful knowledge about firearms, assassination, torture instruments, etc., giving her a clear goal in her uneventful life.
She worshipped Kiritsugu Emiya as her god, but after accidentally finding the Einzbern family in Germany, he stopped his previous steps for a woman named Irisviel.
She did not feel sad or angry about this. She had never felt the feeling of having her love stolen. Her professionalism in missions over a long period of time made her completely abandon all emotions except for her almost selfless love for Kiritsugu. Even after knowing that the god she believed in had united with Irisviel and gave birth to a child named Illya, she still waited for Kiritsugu Emiya at a safe distance outside the Einzbern Castle.
Although there was no need for this, neither the heavily guarded Einzbern Castle nor Emiya Kiritsugu, who possessed methods more professional and decisive than his own, needed his protection.
However, because Kiritsugu Emiya stopped, she, who had been following Kiritsugu, lost her direction for a moment and could only stay at a close distance from Kiritsugu Emiya, quietly waiting for news from Kiritsugu Emiya.
Nine years later, as expected, the marksmanship and skills that Kiritsugu Emiya had acquired were worn down during the Einzbern's stagnation and the gentle embrace of Irisviel. His skills, which should have been beyond his reach, now showed signs of being caught up.
However, Hisau Maiya never told this to Emiya Kiritsugu. Even though Emiya Kiritsugu showed signs of weakening on Irisviel's body, Emiya Kiritsugu was still Emiya Kiritsugu. At this moment, Hisau Maiya once again saw the appearance of the Emiya Kiritsugu in her mind.
Of course, such a change only made Hisau Maiya feel satisfied, but at this moment, as she was about to carry out Emiya Kiritsugu's order, she was stunned by Kenneth's death.
Even though she knew that as a professional killer, being dazed on the battlefield was an absolute taboo, Hisau Maiya's mind went blank in an instant when she saw such a scene.
Unlike Irisviel and the others who were close to the magic power released by the golden sunflower seed that killed and tore Kenneth apart, Hisau Maiya, who witnessed the entire scene from a very long distance, can say responsibly that it was not the golden light emitted by the golden sunflower seed that killed Kenneth.
Although such seeds certainly contain a considerable amount of magic power, all they really do is use the evaporated magic power to block the process of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid from behind to protect themselves in the first place. While Kenneth was wrapped in golden light, a huge tree behind Caster stretched out tentacles like roots that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and slapped them in the direction of Kenneth.
That's right, Kenneth was beaten into a pulp by a creature, but why every time he wanted to confirm this memory, his consciousness would subconsciously tell him that Kenneth suddenly exploded, or was torn apart by the golden light that entangled him.
It was as if some unnatural force was modifying her consciousness using abnormal means. Hisahi Maiya kept shaking her head, trying to dismiss the change, but in the end, she completely forgot the image of the huge tree hitting Kenneth to death.
The sound of a collision brought Hisau Maiya back to consciousness, who was clutching her head in pain. At this moment, she had completely forgotten what she had been struggling with. She began to worry about whether she had pressed the button to detonate the explosives. Hisau Maiya lay on the rooftop, but the next moment, a huge tree root as big as a palm appeared above her head...
"It's really unpleasant to be peeped at... Isn't that right? Diarmuid? Oh no, I should call you Diarmuid now..."
Glancing slightly to the side, Duanmu Ye saw Diarmuid, whose chest had been pierced by his own hand. Invisible tree roots in his hands blocked the unfolded treasure in mid-air, and even bound both of his hands. Apart from being pierced through the chest by his own hand, he had no other resistance.
Diarmuid gritted his teeth, his bloodshot eyes filled with unspeakable anger. The monarch he was determined to serve all his life was dead. Such a monarch with extremely high moral character died at the hands of this Caster. There was no possibility of him being resurrected again like he had done by faking his death in a tricky way.
At this moment, as Kayneth's last swan song before his death, Diarmuid almost used up all the strength in his body to wave the treasure in his hand, trying to bring out the brilliance that he could bring about before his birth.
However, imagination is always so understated. The cruelty of reality made Diarmuid lose all his strength and means at this moment. He had no other choice but to keep cursing the Caster in front of him in his muttering.
As for those muttered curses, Duanmu Ye shrugged nonchalantly. He was a collection of curses in his body, so the curse from Diarmuid was no different.
"Let me see... Is that the hearth here?"
With the power of Usum, the invisible roots were constantly stirred in Diarmuid's body, and finally in a spherical place similar to a spirit core, a magic furnace that was continuously emitting magic power was found.
Kenneth's death was not what Duanmu Ye wanted to see. The main reason was that the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid gathered in Kenneth's body and the pincer attack from Diarmuid who suddenly appeared behind him in spirit form were really threatening. It was almost a subconscious reaction, which resulted in Kenneth still not surviving the world line of the Fourth War.
With a "puff" sound, a magic furnace emitting endless magic power in Diarmuid's heart floated in the air. Without the magic furnace to supply magic power, Diarmuid gradually turned into a phantom and completely disappeared in the air.
Kiritsugu Emiya frowned as he rode the elevator up. At this moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Strange…why can’t Maiya be contacted?”
