People are in death, unlimited sword control at the beginning.

On the first day of the Holy Grail War, except for Assanssin, Alin and Gilgamesh staged a magnificent feast for all the Masters participating in the war.

All the magicians who saw the battle between Ailin and Gilgamesh felt a strong pressure.

There is no doubt that both Gilgamesh's King's Treasure and Aelin's abilities similar to the King's Treasure are extremely frightening.

In the face of such capabilities, numbers are meaningless.

Of course, Gilgamesh was more frightening than Aelin, whose body was wrapped in black and red flames.

After all, Gilgamesh was standing at the highest point at the time, and the Masters and Servants who were watching the battle saw Gilgamesh release a Noble Phantasm and attack Ailin.

The Master and the Servants knew exactly what this meant.

Gilgamesh can release all those countless treasures!

All heroes who have been elevated to heroic spirits have their own weaknesses.

Especially the scenes of their death were also sublimated.

The weapons that kill them can cause them multiple or even instant death damage.

It can be said that no matter who faces Gilgamesh, once Gilgamesh uses a treasure that restrains them, they have basically no chance of winning.

However, everyone is a legendary hero, and no one will feel inferior to others unless they fight with real guns and swords.

Rather, it is said that being able to fight with heroes of all ages already makes them very motivated, and it is simply impossible for them to admit defeat just because they might be restrained by the opponent's Noble Phantasm.

And the Masters will not hand over the Holy Grail just because they feel that the other Servant is too powerful.

The Holy Grail War has never been just a personal stage for a Servant, but a battle between the Master and the Servant working together.

Rather, the battle between Ailin and Gilgamesh allowed them to have a better understanding of the two Servants. Now they could consider how to fight if they encountered each other, and use their own strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses.

……

"Well, am I not dead?"

In a small private clinic, Kuon Maiya opened her eyes, and the pain all over her body made her sure that she was still alive.

"Are you awake? Dance fan."

Hearing the noise on the bed, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was smoking outside, quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and turned to go into the house.

"I'm sorry, Kiritsugu."

After waking up, Kuon Maiya did not pay attention to her injuries, but apologized to Emiya Kiritsugu.

"I failed in the mission you assigned to me."

"Don't worry about the mission for now, dance fan."

"What you need to do now is to have a good rest."

"When Irisviel comes tomorrow, I'll have her use healing magic to heal your injuries."

Emiya Kiritsugu gently pushed Kuon Maiya, who was about to get up, onto the bed and said this to her.

"no!"

However, after hearing what Emiya Kiritsugu said, Kuon Maiya instantly rejected Emiya Kiritsugu's arrangement.

"Kiritsugu, according to your arrangement, Madam is currently appearing as Saber's Master to hide your existence."

"If Madam meets us, the others will definitely know that Saber's Master is you, which will be too dangerous for you."

Having said this, Kuon Wuya paused.

Compared to her own and Irisviel's safety, Kuon Maiya was more concerned about Emiya Kiritsugu's safety.

In the world of magicians, Emiya Kiritsugu's reputation is not low.

"Magician Killer" is Kiritsugu Emiya's title in the magician world.

It can be said that once Kiritsugu Emiya's identity is exposed, the other Masters will definitely get rid of Kiritsugu Emiya before the outcome is decided.

After all, although Kiritsugu is a magician, he does not have the slightest dignity of a magician. He does not delve into magic, but instead uses modern technological weapons to hunt down magicians.

Among magi, Emiya Kiritsugu's reputation has become tarnished.

Kuon Maiya herself knew that it was impossible to convince Emiya Kiritsugu with such a reason.

If you want to convince Emiya Kiritsugu, you have to start with his dream.

"Kiritsugu, have you forgotten your wish?"

“The world needs you.”

"Only you, Kiritsugu, can bring peace to the world."

“We are here for this purpose.”

"Do you want everything we have done so far, and all the lives we have sacrificed for this purpose, to be in vain, and for us to fail at the last moment?"

After hearing what Kuon Maiya said, Emiya Kiritsugu was shocked all over.

Yes, in order to successfully obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill his wish for world peace, he has killed so many people over the years that he himself can’t even count them.

These people all sacrificed themselves for this purpose.

“I’m sorry, Maiya…”

“I’m sorry, Maiya…”

An expression of sorrow appeared in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes. He had not shed tears for many years, but now tears were dripping from the corners of his eyes.

Before that, when he discovered that several floors above the hotel where Kuon Maiya was staying suddenly collapsed in unison, Emiya Kiritsugu felt something was wrong and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible.

Emiya Kiritsugu also saw the incision in the hotel.

The incision is extremely smooth, just like a mirror.

The only ones who can do this are the Servants summoned by the Masters.

In order not to expose himself, Emiya Kiritsugu waited until Kuon Maiya was carried into the ambulance by others, and then used his ability "Inherent Time Control" to bring Kuon Maiya back to this base.

With Kuon Maiya's current injuries, although Emiya Kiritsugu gave her some first aid bandages, without healing magic, Kuon Maiya would definitely not survive.

Kuon Maiya refused to let Irisviel come here, and obviously decided to use her own life to continue to protect Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Don't be so sad, Kiritsugu."

"To die for you is the happiest thing for me."

Kuon Maiya raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes.

"Kiritsugu, you have to be careful of that Servant from yesterday."

Although she knew that she would not live long, Kuon Maiya did not show any fear. Instead, she told Emiya Kiritsugu everything she had seen.

"That Servant's Master is a middle-aged man with white hair. One of his hands seems to be unable to move. He walks with a noticeable difference in height and has a limp."

"I had already fired, but I only saw a flash of white light through the sniper rifle's scope, and the bullet I fired was cut into pieces, and then the hotel began to collapse." "From where I sniped, it was about 4,620 meters to the Tohsaka residence. This means that the Servant wrapped in black flames has a treasure or ability with an attack range of nearly 5,000 meters."

Emiya Kiritsugu hugged Kuon Maiya tightly and listened carefully to the last information Kuon Maiya left for him.

As the night deepened, at some point, after a dull gunshot, the lights in the room dimmed.

A few minutes later, Emiya Kiritsugu walked out of the house with an expressionless face, took out a cigarette from his chest, lit it, took a deep puff, and then threw the lighter in his hand back.

The flaming lighter hovered in the air and flew into the house through the open door.

"Bear bear bear bear..."

In an instant, a blazing fire ignited in the house. Countless sparks danced in the wind under the night sky, flying into the sky in the shape of a tornado, and finally extinguished in mid-air, turning into ashes and falling down...

……

The sun revealed its true face from the top of the mountains, dispelling its light from the darkness and shining on the world.

A magician is someone whose power lies in "mystery".

Only the "unknown" can make their power stronger.

The more people know about a magic trick and the more people can use it, the more diluted the power of the magic trick will be, and it will eventually lose its "mystery" and "power".

Therefore, the magic world has always hidden itself in the darkness under the sun and not exposed to the world.

In order to protect the "mystery" of magic, magicians also established the Magicians Association to specifically manage those magicians who spread magic wantonly, and formulated a series of laws.

If you don't want to be targeted by the magicians of the Magic Association, you should never perform magic in public during the day.

Once seen by someone, the person must be killed to ensure that the "mystery" of the magic will not be leaked.

During the Fifth Holy Grail War, Shirou Emiya was stabbed through the heart by the Lancer's Master just because he saw the Servant fighting.

If Toosaka Rin had not arrived later and used gem magic to repair her heart, there would probably be no Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Therefore, the magicians' battles only take place in the dark.

During the day, it is the world of ordinary people.

At the same time, the daytime is also a battle for the people in the Magic Association to deal with the impact of the battle at night.

It could be that the building is in disrepair, there is a gas explosion, a series of car accidents, or even a terrorist attack. As long as ordinary people do not attribute the destruction to magic and can explain the damage clearly, everything will be fine.

A plane landed in Fuyuki City, and Saber, dressed in a black suit, and the pure white elf Irisviel got off the plane.

Here, Saber also contributed a trick that made everyone laugh: put reins on the plane and then control the plane.

This sentence made Irisviel laugh.

However, this was because Irisviel was limited by her own knowledge.

Saber has B-rank riding ability, and she can control any mount except magical beasts and mythical beasts.

Although airplanes are technological creations, they are also "mounts."

As long as Saber wanted, she could use the reins to steer the plane.

This is what Lancelot the Mad Warrior has done.

However, what Lancelot was flying at that time was not a passenger plane, but a fighter plane.

Moreover, while riding and with the ability of "Knights do not die unarmed", Lancelot also had a chase battle with the Hero King Gilgamesh with a fighter plane and injured the Hero King Gilgamesh.

During this day, Saber was accompanying Irisviel, acting as her “prince”.

Because the hotel next door was beheaded, Kenneth and his fiancée did not dare to stay in high-rise hotels anymore, so they found a new manor during the day.

And it was on this day that Kayneth's fiancée Sora saw the appearance of Kayneth's Servant Diarmuid Odina and was fascinated by the teardrop mole at the corner of Diarmuid Odina's eye.

Kotomine Kirei, according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, a Master who has lost his Servant can seek refuge in the church, so he swaggered into the church under the gaze of other magicians.

Ryunosuke Uesugi was wandering outside the gate of an elementary school, looking for a new target to kill.

Toosaka Tokiomi did not make any movement and continued to stay in the Toosaka residence.

However, the battle between Ailin and the King of Heroes Gilgamesh last night made Tōsaka Tokiomi feel that in this Holy Grail War, he was not particularly safe with only Gilgamesh as his Servant.

Now he just has to wait for his disciple Kotomine Kirei to find the Master of Berserker, and then send Assassin to kill the magus, and then he will be invincible.

Weber and King of Conquerors Iskandar were shopping on the street.

The King of Conquerors' huge stature and Weber's submissive expression and physique made many people on the street look at them in a strange way.

This made Waver even more uncomfortable, and he hid his body behind the King of Conquerors and complained to him.

But these complaints of Waver were of no consequence to the King of Conquerors.

As a king, he will listen to the advice of his subjects, but it is his freedom to adopt it or not.

After only a few hours, Emiya Kiritsugu's beard had grown a lot longer, and he looked much more decadent and sloppy than before.

Unlike other Masters, Emiya Kiritsugu was now browsing through the various pieces of information sent by the Einzbern family in the house.

Soon, Emiya Kiritsugu turned his gaze to the two photos.

One of these two photos is of Matou Kariya who just returned to Fuyuki City a year ago.

Black hair, a bright smile, although a little gloomy, but you can still tell that this is a sunny young man.

The second photo shows him with a head full of white hair, a slightly hunched body, obvious disabilities in his left hand and right foot, and one of his gray eyes, which seems to have lost its sight.

Although it was hard to believe that a sunny young man had turned into this in just one year, Emiya Kiritsugu took photos of Matou Kariya using surveillance cameras and compared them with photos of all the magi who might have participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and finally came to a conclusion.

These two seemingly completely different people are, in fact, the same person.

This guy is the one that Kuon Maiya told her to be careful of, the Master of the Berserker.

“Matou Kariya…”

Kiritsugu Emiya murmured, and before he knew it, the two photos in his hands were crumpled into a ball.

"Maiya..."

After taking a deep breath, Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette.

Although emotionally, Emiya Kiritsugu really wanted to kill Matou Kariya and that Berserker.

However, through investigating the Servant who appeared yesterday, Emiya Kiritsugu also learned Archer's true identity.

That is the oldest king of mankind, Gilgamesh!

According to legend, this king possesses all the treasures in the world.

The strength of this king is undoubtedly at the top of all heroes.

At the moment, it seems that Emiya Kiritsugu does not think that Saber has the ability to fight the Most Ancient King.

In order to hold back or even kill this most ancient king, the power of Berserker is indispensable. (End of this chapter)
