My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 81 Tohsaka and Kirei Hiding in the Dark
As I said earlier, the intermediary when the Einzbern family bought the land was the Tohsaka family, the magic managers of Fuyuki City.

Even before that, Tosaka Tokiomi was very gentlemanly and didn't make any small moves, but it doesn't mean that he would be so pedantic that he wouldn't set up surveillance here during the Holy Grail War.

Especially with the dire circumstances of losing Assassin.

Although the familiar's search was not comprehensive due to the vast forest, Tohsaka Tokiomi's familiar arrived at the scene shortly after the conflict of magic power, providing the magician with vision.

It was a big melee between Berserker, Lancer and Saber.

Although Lancer rescued Saber in an emergency, it doesn't mean that they are allies, but just a sympathy between people who belong to the same way of chivalry.

Saber's purpose is to stop the intruders. In addition to Berserker, Lancer who also entered the forest with the Master is also within her blocking range.

Lancer's purpose is to prevent people from disturbing Master Kenneth's battle of shame, so while preventing Berserker from attacking Saber, it is also impossible to free Saber.

As for Berserker... He fights anyone he sees, and he doesn't care whether he is allied or hostile.

It is precisely because of this that the conflict between the three servants has fallen into a strange stalemate, and until now they have not been able to distinguish the superior.

In the eyes of Tohsaka Tokiomi, the significance of the appearance of the three followers is far more important than their current battle.

"The lord of the clock tower invaded Einzbern, did he want to avenge last night's battle? In front of Kenneth, who is only one step away from the crown, the artificial people of Einzbern have a very low chance of winning... ...But why did Berserker fight Einzbern today? Who is the master of the Matou family?"

Speaking of the Matou family, Tosaka Tokiomi inevitably thought of his, no, his former daughter, Sakura.

During this year, although Tohsaka Tokiomi insisted on keeping a distance from Sakura who had divorced, he couldn't stand the pleas of his wife and daughter, so he went to Matou's house and met with Sakura.

At that time, Matou Sakura's hair and pupils had already turned purple, and standing behind her was not Matou Zouken, Matou's old Patriarch, but Matou Kariya who had mastered the Water Magician .

Not to mention the abnormality of Matou's house (restored after being bombed), Matou Kariya's inexplicable hostility towards him also makes Tosaka Tokiomi very puzzled.

But even if Matou Kariya participated in the Holy Grail War... he should choose to be hostile to the Tohsaka family. Why did he become the enemy of Einzbern?

While he couldn't figure it out, he didn't realize that there was a slight fluctuation in the enchantment of the Tohsaka family, but it disappeared quickly.

A black figure resembling Assassin appeared at the door of the Tohsaka mansion, looking up at the silent house.

Note that this is not acting.

repeat.

This is not acting.

----

A short-haired man in a pitch-black monastic uniform, a tall and oppressive figure, and a serious expression, was walking on the other side of the forest.

Kotomine Kirei didn't intend to get involved in the battle at all, the east of the forest had a high chance of becoming a battlefield, and the enemies from Fuyuki's side would generally think of attacking from that direction.

So Kirei stood guard outside the forest on the west side, waiting for the battle to start.When the fighting unfolded to the east as he had expected, he would gamble on the chance of striking the castle unexpectedly from behind the field.

It wasn't that he was unaware of the existence of the warning barrier, rather it was precisely because of this that he walked over in a big way.

There was no other reason, but Kotomine Kirei was looking forward to the arrival of that participant from the Einzbern camp.

Emiya Kiritsugu.

He desperately wanted to find the answer from this man.

However, what he didn't know was that in front of his wish, several people who were closely related to Emiya Kiritsugu were blocked.

For example, two women who planned to flee but returned to the battlefield to protect the same man.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a loud bang from the hail of bullets.

But before that, the priest with a calm face squatted down, found the enemy's position from the direction of the gunshots, and shot two black keys.

There was the muffled sound of the blade piercing into the tree trunk.

"...Huh?" No hit, Kirei was a little surprised by the result.

In a moment of stupefaction, there was another gunshot from the left.Although Kirei dodged again at the nick of time, this time the situation was even more dangerous than the shooting just now.The previous conclusion that there was only one enemy made his reaction a little slow.

But it's really strange.The positions of the two shots are completely different, and the opponent's movement speed is too fast.If there were two gunmen from the beginning, they should have coordinated with each other and used cross-attacks to snipe him.

The doubts in his heart have not been resolved, but this time Kirei felt four breaths again.His left and right hands immediately took out two black keys each, a total of four.

After the subconscious reaction, the experienced Kotomine Kirei suddenly realized something.

"This is supposed to be—a hallucination?"

It's not impossible.He has come to a fairly deep position in the forest enchantment.If there is illusion magic in the formation of the barrier, and if there is a magician nearby who can operate magic, it can target Kirei personally and disturb his sensory ability.

Is there really only one invisible sniper?If there is only one person, is he also the one who operates the illusion?Or is there another person in charge of supporting...

In any case, until you find a clue to break through the spell, you can only dance to the enemy's pace.

The priest in the robe raised the four black keys, and quickly threw them in all directions——as expected, none of them hit the target.

Immediately afterwards, the bullets that burst out directly hit his back.

It was a high-speed bullet that couldn't even sense the breath. The barrier set up in the Einzbern Forest could not only show murderous intent to deceive the enemy, but also conceal the real murderous intent.

This third shot is the real kill.

Hisau Maiya, who planned the battle, slowly retracted her gun.
.
Under the cover of Irisviel's illusion, the 300 Winchester caliber bullet passed through a distance of hundreds of meters from the position that Kirei had already eliminated with the black key, and hit Kotomine Kirei's spine with precision. .

With the lethality of Wasser WA2000, Maiya was sure that the target's spinal cord had been pierced.

Kotomine Kirei's performance was just as Maiya had imagined, he didn't even have time to let out a scream, and fell directly on his back, without convulsions or painful groans.

She must have shot through the spine as planned and died on the spot—Maiya judged so, stood up from the sniper position, pointed the Calico submachine gun in her hand at Kirei who was lying on his back, and approached him cautiously.

"Miss Maiya, no!" Irisviel immediately saw that this was a trap, and warned Maiya, but it was too late.

Kirei who was lying on his back didn't get up, he just swung his arm and shot out a hidden black key.The black key shot from the low orbit cut Maiya's right calf, causing her to miss the opportunity to make the next move.

The next moment, the tall body of the man in black jumped up like a spring mechanism, and rushed towards Maiya.

Without fear, Maiya raised her gun and fired.But Kirei didn't even hide, he just covered his head and face with his hands.The part from the stand-up collar to the sleeves is made of Kevlar fiber, and a layer of protective spells specially made by the church representative is tightly added to the inside of the clothes.If it is a [-]mm bullet, it is impossible to penetrate even at the shortest distance.

Even so, the kinetic energy of the 250-foot ten-hit combo per second still hit Kirei's body hard like a metal bat's slamming.However, his muscles that have been exercised to the extreme are like armor, completely protecting the bones and internal organs from impact damage.

Noticing that Kirei was wearing body armor all over, Maiya immediately dropped the Calico submachine gun in her hand, and pulled out a Rambo knife from her thigh.

Contrary to Kevlar fiber's resistance to bullets, it has the characteristic that it is very easy to be cut by a sharp blade. If the gun does not work, it can only survive in close combat.

At the same time that the barrage was interrupted, Kirei pulled out a new black key with both hands again, and launched a cross slash at Maiya from left and right.Maiya was not at all sluggish due to her injured right foot, and used the thick blade to bounce back the black key's combo.

Although the length of the black key's blade is far longer than that of a tactical straight blade, it is after all a throwing blade after strengthening.In close combat, compared to the black key which lacks balance due to its extremely short handle, Maiya's tactical fixed knife has an overwhelming advantage due to its flexibility.

"Have the opportunity!"

Confirming her own advantage, Maiya rushed forward in a half-sacrificing posture - the black key is difficult to defend against an attack at such a distance, and even if it is hit by a counterattack, the chance of being seriously injured is very low.

Kirei also used the black key in his right hand to catch the dagger in Maiya's right hand, and it seemed that he was planning to rely on the length of the blade to counterattack, and the shadow of the sword intersecting with the dagger stabbed towards him.Maiya, who had been prepared for this, easily dodged the counterattack, and just turned her head slightly to avoid the point of Kurokey's knife, and just broke into the enemy's arms.

But just when Maiya was convinced that victory was within reach, Kirei made an unexpected move, which surprised her.

The right hands of both sides crossed each other like a cross counterattack in boxing—but Kirei's right hand, which should be holding the short handle of the black key, was empty.Halfway through the thrust, he let go of the weapon in his hand.

In other words, Kirei's right hand strike was not intended to assassinate Maiya with the black key from the very beginning.

Strong, muscular fingers wrapped around Maiya's right wrist.The tall and slender black-robed body bent like a snake and passed under Maiya's right arm like this.In the next second, Kirei carried Maiya's right hand behind his shoulder in a posture similar to letting the injured person rest his shoulders.

Amidst the fatal sense of hopelessness, Maiya found herself deceived by the preconceived notion that the other party was a proxy for using the black keys.This movement is from a Chinese boxing method, Bajiquan!
In deadly despair, Kirei's sideways body was close to Maiya's waist, his left elbow hit Maiya's heart, and his left foot also gave Maiya's supporting leg a beautiful blow.

The most iconic move of Bajiquan - Limen Pushing the Elbow.

Maiya couldn't even accept the body, and fell heavily to the ground.Because of the too strong impact, she even fell into the illusion that her hands and feet were completely detached, her whole body was paralyzed and unable to move.All he consciously felt was the sharp pain in his chest that had been hit by the elbow, and at least two ribs were broken.

Even though Hisau Maiya fell into a state of being unable to fight with just one blow, Kirei did not stop there.

Kotomine Kirei's goal is only Emiya Kiritsugu, and he has no attachment to Hisau Maiya.Therefore, he clenched his fists, ready to give the opponent in front of him a final blow.

And at this moment, a clear and loud call sounded.

"Shape ist leben!" (Shape ist leben!)
