My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 43 Assassin is dead again!

Fifteen kilometers southeast of the increasingly chaotic Warehouse Street.

The Fuyuki Church was shrouded in quiet night, and the man in the robe sat in the darkness of the basement with his eyes closed.

From the looks of others, Kotomine Kirei seemed to be meditating.But who would have imagined that his ears are now listening to the whistling sound of the sea breeze, and his eyes are seeing the sparks of metal and iron colliding?

But at this time, the man's condition was not good. His forehead was sweating, and his palms were tightly clenched to the handle, almost crushing the steel pipe chair.

"Kirei? Kirei! Kotomine Kirei!"

There is an old phonograph on the table, with a traditional morning glory collecting speaker, but the turntable and pointer that should be under the speaker do not exist, and instead of these structures is a huge gemstone supported by iron wire.

There is no doubt that this is a magic device that can only be modified by magic, and only the Tohsaka family in Fuyuki City can use gems to resonate and transmit sound.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's slightly anxious shout was coming from the brass loudspeaker.

Stimulated by the sound from the outside world, the man snorted and finally opened his eyes.

"I'm fine, teacher."

"Huh, that's great." Tokiomi Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief came from the loudspeaker, "What happened, Kirei?"

The man with a distressed face said: "Assassin was discovered, and the person who discovered him was... Berserker."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Ah..."

An eerie silence fell.Assassin, who is best at hiding, was caught by the most irrational Berserker. This shock was no less than Lancelot, who was wearing a dangerous beast costume, approached Mash...

No one can bear the humiliation of being killed by a pink furry bunny.jpg
After waiting for a long time, Tosaka Tokiomi finally came to his senses: "Kirei, hasn't your empathy been lifted?"

"Yes, teacher." Kirei replied truthfully.

Synesthesia, or shared perception.

This is the result of Kirei's three years of practice, and the contracted objects that can be connected by magic circuits share the perception of sensory organs.In the Holy Grail War, this technology can completely monitor the actions of servants from a long distance, and its practicality is very high.If the servant under him is an Assassin who is good at reconnaissance, it will be even more powerful.

The only disadvantage is that this ability can only be exercised with the consent of the contractor, that is, the shared object of perception.Tokiomi, who passed this skill on to Kirei, is now being rejected by Archer.For the proud King of Heroes, even if the other party is his master, it is still extremely unreasonable to spy on him.

And Kirei, who maintained empathy with Assassin, naturally suffered the same pain as Assassin, having his limbs torn off by Berserker, dropped from a high altitude, and fell heavily to the ground.

If an ordinary person suffered such an injury, he would only die. However, Assassin is a Servant, so he will not die. But because of this, the pain beyond death is beyond the reach of even a well-trained agent.

"That's it, thank you for your hard work, Kirei." Tokiomi Tohsaka's tone softened, "Then take a good rest, and I will personally monitor the battle in Warehouse Street."

"Thank you teacher."

Kotomine Kirei ended the communication and slowly closed his eyes.

At the moment when his eyes fell into the darkness, the remaining panic, pain and despair engulfed the priest like a dark tide.

Under the emotions that were enough to drive people crazy, Kotomine Kirei's expression was no longer depressed, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He is laughing.

After finishing the communication, Tohsaka Tokiomi stroked the center of his brows and couldn't help sighing.

In the current Warehouse Street, six Heroic Spirits of Saber, Lancer, Rider, Archer, Berserker, and Assassin gathered. This was a scale that had never been seen in the previous Holy Grail Wars.

Six heroes from different eras and with different personalities gather together, and they don't know how chaotic the situation will be.

And if he sends the familiar to go there now, there will be a blank period of information in the middle, and he will not have time to respond in time.

To make matters worse, the alliance was revealed, and Assassin was thrown in front of Gilgamesh... Is the master of Berserker trying to make Archer use the mouse?
However, with that king's personality...

warehouse street

Under the surprised eyes of everyone on the scene, the churning magic power gradually solidified and turned into a tall shadow—yes, that strange appearance can only be described by the word "shadow".

The tall and strong body of the "man" is completely wrapped in armor, without any gaps.But it was completely different from the silver armor worn by Saber or the luxurious gold dress of Archer.The black armor the man was wearing had neither elaborate decoration nor a polished sheen.There is only blackness as deep as the endless darkness and the bottomless abyss.Even the face is covered by a steel mask, making it impossible to see.

The only thing left is the strange look of a pair of eyes burning like flames in the depths of the slit pierced through the mask.

There is no doubt that this is a follower.

But what kind of heroic spirit is this ominous figure?This black knight does not possess the elements of brilliance possessed by the Heroic Spirits who have appeared.

Diarmuid, King of Knights Artoria, King of Conquerors Iskandar, King of Heroes Gilgamesh, each has its own unique style, which is a place to be proud of as a heroic spirit. .This kind of glory is called "Legend", which is the admiration and longing of everyone, and it is also a necessary element for them to become "Noble Phantasm" (Noble Phantasm).

But there is no such element in the black knight who just appeared. If you really want to say it, it may be closer to Assassin.The darkness surrounding that black armor is nothing but a "fluctuation of negative energy".

Then that person should not be a heroic spirit, but some kind of "wraith spirit"...

"...Hey, King of Conquerors. Why don't you invite him to join?" Lancer didn't dare to be careless, his eyes fixed on the black knight.Only his tone of voice remained the same, teasing Rider.

Being teased, Rider frowned. "Even if I wanted to invite him, the guy looked like he had nothing to talk about from the start."

What emanated from the black knight was endless murderous aura.Even the whirlwind produced by the magic power seems to be full of evil spirits like moans of complaints.

Berserker... everyone intuitively knew it was Berserker without even asking.Such ferocious murderous fluctuations, he doesn't think of anything other than a berserker.

and……

"Look, I can't see it!" Weber, who was staring at the black knight, stammered and yelled, "I can't see it at all, regardless of the ability value or other information!"

Not only Rider, but also Saber, Lancer, and Irisviel who was watching the battle noticed it.No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see Berserker's appearance correctly.

The black armor is like an out-of-focus image, the outline is always blurred and hazy.Sometimes it even looks like two or three shadows.It seems that not only the vision, but even the master's ability is affected.

That heroic spirit should have some kind of special ability or curse, which can psychedelic the enemy and hide his origin.

"Even the master's ability doesn't work?" Iskandar muttered, "Berserker who can hide his identity... the quality of this Holy Grail War is really high."

At this moment, the black knight stood on the long street, facing the golden king standing on the street lamp.

Among them, the bloody Assassin was lying on the concrete floor like some kind of solid-liquid mixture. Only the occasional twitches indicated that he was enduring the pain of living.

But soon, the golden spear pierced Assassin's head, killing him mercifully.

Gilgamesh, who shot out this Noble Phantasm, never even glanced at his titular "ally" but stared at the dark knight, more like a snake than a human, with volcanic eruptions lurking in his eyes anger.

Only he knows that Berserker's menacing gaze is only directed at him standing on the street lamp
"You think I'll save him? Hmph, wishful thinking!"

The sword and spear floating on the left and right of the King of Heroes slowly turned around and changed direction, aiming at Berserker, who became the primary target of sniping.

"Bastard. At least die nicely. Let's entertain this king."

Accompanied by Archer's cold declaration, guns and swords shot out in the air.
