My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 161 When dying, the new moon arrives

Today is really a chaotic day—presumably everyone who participated in the Holy Grail War thought so.

Since the church announced the news of Shuoyue's death in the morning, troubles have come one after another.

The mysterious class card heroic spirit strikes.

Waver spent the last two Command Seals in order to save Rider.

Kotomine Kirei of the Holy Church was arrested for 'blowing up the Hyatt Hotel'.

'Emiya Kiritsugu' killed the supervisor Kotomine Risei, took away dozens of Command Seals (suspected), and became the target of public criticism.

Shuoyue is doing things secretly.

Emiya Kiritsugu was ready to act.

Kotomine Kirei awakens and unites with the King of Heroes...

One thing after another is enough to make any master panic and hide in the workshop to wait for the storm to pass. However, for Kariya, no matter what happens, it can't stop his actions tonight.

——He intends to try to assassinate Tohsaka Tokiomi again tonight.

The reason is simple, although he is just getting started in magic, he still knows that the longer the preparation time, the harder it is for the magician to kill this thing, not to mention that now that he has drawn a clear line with Shuoyue, Shuoyue will come to the door at any time It's not surprising that they came to ask for Assassin's class card.

Time was not on his side.

What's more, Gilgamesh, the hero king who is Archer, is an existence that Sakutsuki has to deal with carefully. Even though Kariya believes in his own Berserker, he also has a deep understanding of the level gap between himself and Tokiomi.

To win the Holy Grail, one must defeat Tokiomi and Archer, and the only way to defeat this powerful group is to skip Archer and fight against the master instead.

In other words, assassinate the Master.

Therefore, after hastily recovering his magic power, Kariya took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to transform into Hassan, the cursed arm, and sneaked into Tohsaka Tokiomi's mansion again.

Even though Tokiomi has strengthened the magic barrier of Tohsaka House, the level of the servants, especially Hassan, who is the current curse arm, is still beyond his imagination. It took Kariya half a quarter of an hour to break through the barrier formed by the connection.

Suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Kariya Matou managed to arrive at the living room of Tohsaka's house, just in time to see Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Kirei sitting opposite each other, having a long conversation.

Assassinate now?Even if Sakuyue says that Kotomine Kirei is very strong, I, with the power of servants, can kill them all... But Kotomine Kirei is no longer the Master, do I want to kill innocent people indiscriminately?
Just as Kariya was thinking, Tokiomi handed the wooden box on the table to Kirei, then got up, as if planning to leave.

Then, the scene that made Kariya almost exclaimed happened—Kotomine Kirei drew out his sword like lightning, and pierced his mentor's heart from the back!
The experience from the cursed wrist told him that this stab was unreserved, the dagger definitely broke Tohsaka Tokiomi's heart, even if Tokiomi survived now, it is absolutely impossible to see the sun the next day.

Tohsaka Tokiomi is dead.

After realizing this, Matou Kariya raised the corners of his mouth as he had imagined countless times, but was surprised to find that there was not much joy in this smile.

No, how is that possible.

I should laugh when the object of my dislike and even my abhorrence falls into such a situation.

Yes, that's right, laughing heartily, laughing wantonly, laughing until you can't stop, laughing until tears flow.

After all—the man who caused Sakura to suffer and Aoi to cry is going to die!
However... the emotions in his heart were completely out of Kariya's control.

emptiness.

unwilling.

angry.

Kotomine Kirei's excited smile made Kariya feel incomparably disgusted, as if Kariya's tens of thousands of treasured handicrafts were torn apart by him, as if Kariya's ascetic pursuit was thrown at him like trash same as before,
If Tohsaka Tokiomi died like this——

Thousands of thoughts appeared in my mind, and finally, like escaping, there was only one thought left.

So will Aoi cry?
No, Aoi must not be made to cry, at least not because of such an ending.

After convincing himself, Kariya Matou turned into a black shadow and jumped out without hesitation, grabbed the dying Tokiomi, as if carrying a rag sack, and brought his mortal enemy through the wall, Disappeared under the cover of night.

Behind him, the priest, who still had a little blood on his body, watched him like this until he was covered by the forest and disappeared from each other's sight.

----

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Under the dim light, Tohsaka Tokiomi woke up coughing.

He got up, and saw a man sitting beside him, looking no better than him.

"Matou... Kariya."

"Hmph, how does it feel to be saved by the enemy?"

Being ridiculed like this, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not answer, he stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling his heart and pulse getting weaker and weaker.

With the magic seal, the magician's heart will not stop so easily (for details, refer to the captain), but death is inevitable. Whether the urn should slide or flip is the question that Tosaka Tokiomi should think about.

And Matou Kariya didn't say much, he felt irritated even at the first glance of Tosaka Tokiomi, and directly looked away, reflecting on the reason why he saved him.

"...Tell me, Kariya."

Tohsaka Tokiomi's abrupt opening interrupted Kariya's messy thoughts.

"what?"

"Is my life a failure... that's all." After a pause, Tokiomi brought up another topic, "Tell me, Kariya, what was the Matou family like back then?"

"I thought you would continue pretending to be ignorant." After a habitual taunt, Kariya sighed, and finally told the truth of the year.

If the lights are not turned on, any modern technology will be affected in the magic workshop. There is only a retro kerosene lamp dangling, smudged with a silent and mysterious atmosphere.

"...That's it, do you understand? If it wasn't for Sakuyue's help, Sakura would be thrown into the wormhole, and the future will be dark..."

Talking about it as if killing emotions, even Kariya himself was surprised at the lack of ups and downs in his mood.

He originally thought that he would scold Tohsaka Tokiomi for his stupidity and ridicule Tohsaka Tokiomi for his ignorance... However, when he realized that the person lying in front of him was gradually dying, he suddenly lost the strength of excitement .

He even felt pity.

Falling into this kind of ending, in fact, this is just like Tohsaka Tokiomi's style, firmly believing in his own way of survival, and not hesitating when he takes a step—until the last moment, he still doesn't realize that there is a big hole under his feet.

As if wanting to discard this emotion, Kariya shook his head vigorously, and said with a cold face, "Although we are enemies, I can still help with things like calling Aoi-sister and Xiaolin over."

"I'm sorry about Sakura, Kariya."

Kariya turned his head in astonishment, looked at the man on the bed who looked like a corpse, as if he had heard some kind of impossible dream.

Immediately afterwards, Tohsaka Tokiomi confirmed that this was not Kariya's hallucination.

"Also, call Aoi, Rin... and Sakura for me, please, Kariya."

Faced with the request of the dying person, even if it was an enemy, Kariya still sighed softly, his heart softened.

"Then take it as my momentary confusion—Shuo Yue, you boy, just watch from the side, come out quickly!"

As soon as Kariya finished speaking, a blue rhombus-shaped magic door appeared beside him, and as the young man walked out, the dim magic studio lit up because of his piercing golden eyes.

"Yes, this is the NFF service. Although I don't know how you know that I am supervising, of course, everything is according to your needs, but the commission fee is not low?"

Accompanied by the youth's declaration, the replacement spaces opened up one after another, and three figures who were caught off guard walked out of it.

Zencheng Aoi, Tohsaka Rin, Matou Sakura.

The family members of Tohsaka Tokiomi, the three women whom Kariya Matou fought for, gathered here, and when they saw the dying Tohsaka Tokiomi lying on the sickbed, whether they wanted to believe it or not, they would I have to accept the pain and panic of being hit on the face by the facts.

"Tokiomi—!"

"Father!"

"dad……"

When the three women surrounded Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kariya just sighed, gave Aoi a final nostalgic look, and pulled Sakuzuki out of the magic workshop together.
