Chapter 241: "One versus Two" Matou Kariya
For Matou Kariya, whether it was Kayneth or Emiya Kiritsugu, they were all god-level figures whom he could never touch.

One is a genius magician who, at a young age, has already reached a level that others would never be able to reach in several lifetimes; the other is a magician killer who is extremely cruel and kills magicians like killing chickens.

How could he, a rookie who had barely qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War by relying on insect magic, be worthy of these two joining forces to fight against him? !

What's more, he can't even use insect magic now, because the insects have been cleared away. Now, Matou Kariya has a lot of great talents, but he hasn't had time to develop them.

"How about you two have a fight first? You'll have to decide the winner in the end anyway."

Matou Kariya made a suggestion, but it was obviously nonsense, and Emiya Kiritsugu and Kayneth didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

The magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu took out his weapon, a "Calico M950A submachine gun". Ever since he shot his father dead as a teenager, Emiya Kiritsugu understood a truth: times have changed, and even the most powerful magician can be easily killed with a single bullet.

Magic and firearms are just tools to help achieve your goal. Use whichever is more efficient.

Faced with Emiya Kiritsugu who directly took out his weapon, Matou Kariya smiled awkwardly, but he was actually not very scared.

"Da da da!"

Although it was unknown why Matou Kariya just stood there and grinned foolishly, Emiya Kiritsugu took action without any hesitation.

The submachine gun bullet whizzed and shot towards Matou Kariya, and then what happened shocked both Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth.

"Puff puff!"

The bullet hit Matou Kariya without any obstruction. Matou Kariya had no means of defense and could only let the bullet hit his body. However, the bullet posed no threat to him. Many holes were made on his body, and then the bullet was squeezed out. His body healed quickly, and he was completely back to normal in the blink of an eye.

"Dead Apostle?!"

The changes in Matou Kariya's body immediately made Emiya Kiritsugu and Kenneth think of vampires. And looking at Matou Kariya's physical recovery speed, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary vampire. He is at least at the Dead Apostle level. Ordinary vampires are unconscious and their physical recovery abilities are not so abnormal.

Existing conventional weapons can hardly cause harm to the Dead Apostles. They will recover immediately after being injured, and the stronger the Dead Apostles are, the more so. Even a powerful force like the Holy Church can only seal up the ancestral Dead Apostles when facing them, because they can't find a way to kill them completely.

“This shouldn’t be the case, Matou Kariya, how could you be a Dead Apostle?! You are not.”

This result obviously made Emiya Kiritsugu very unbelievable, because the information he investigated was completely different from this result. In his investigation, Matou Kariya was just a waste who had just come into contact with magic not long ago. Logically, he should not have much combat power at all.

Emiya Kiritsugu was very familiar with creatures like Dead Apostles and Vampires, because these creatures had appeared many times in his life, and each time they prompted him to make crucial decisions.

The reason why he killed his father was because his father was conducting research on turning him into a Dead Apostle. The reason why he killed his adoptive mother later was because of the "Dead Apostle Bee". It can be said that Kiritsugu Emiya is destined to be a Dead Apostle. As long as a Dead Apostle appears, Kiritsugu Emiya's life will undergo drastic changes, and he may even be forced to kill his loved ones with his own hands.

If I have to say, the current situation also makes sense. The one who died this time was naturally Irisviel.

"How interesting, all the dead apostles are here."

Kenneth smiled. The Holy Grail War was getting more and more lively. I wonder how the Cathedral Church would react? All the churches in Fuyuki City were razed to the ground.

"It's because of Mr. Devil."

Kiritsugu Emiya found the reason instantly. He had actually long suspected that Ke Ling was a non-human creature. After all, how could a normal person have the strength that Ke Ling showed? He must be an old monster who had been a dead apostle and had lived for who knows how many years.

"Master Ke Ling has given me a new life."

Matou Kariya answered seriously. There was nothing wrong with what he said. If it weren't for Ke Ling, he wouldn't have lived for a few more days, and he couldn't save Sakura, so it could be said that he had given his life in vain.

"Abandoning your human identity? And still calling it life?"

Kiritsugu Emiya changed his gun, a very strange gun, the Thompson Rival, and then aimed at Matou Kariya again. Just because he couldn't kill him didn't mean he had no way to deal with Matou Kariya.

"What exactly is a human being? Emiya Kiritsugu, do you understand?"

In response to Emiya Kiritsugu's ridicule, Matō Kariya directly asked a question in return.

That's right, he has become a ghost now, and is indeed no longer a human being biologically, but he thinks that he is more human than many guys who are biologically human, at least more human than many magicians, and more like a normal human being.

"Hmph, sophistry."

Kiritsugu Emiya fired directly, and an Origin Bullet was fired out. Even if it was a Dead Apostle, as long as he had a Magic Circuit, his Origin Bullet could be a special attack!

Being able to make Emiya Kiritsugu use the Origin Bullet to deal with him, Matou Kariya also won his recognition, because Emiya Kiritsugu would not use the Origin Bullet at all against ordinary rubbish magi.

To put it bluntly, the Origin Bullet is mana burning, converting MP into lethality. For example, if Kenneth, who has 3000 MP, is hit by a bullet, he will suffer 3000 points of damage, but for Weber, who has only 5 MP, he will only suffer 5 points of damage. If Kiritsugu Emiya wants to deal with Weber on the side, he will definitely not be able to take out the Origin Bullet.

The targets of the origin bullet are generally only those magicians with great talent. It is a waste to use it against a magician who has only a few magic circuits. The magic damage may be even lower than the physical damage.

Of course, facing Matou Kariya who looks like he has no desires or ambitions, the effect of the Origin Bullet is not very good. The more magic circuits the person hit has called upon, the greater the damage after being hit. The Origin Bullet essentially causes the person's own magic power to erupt.

However, although Matou Kariya himself did not use magic at this time, Berserker was constantly consuming his magic power, so the Origin Bullet could still be effective. Berserker's explosion was also the reason why Emiya Kiritsugu decided to call upon the Origin Bullet. In order to support Berserker's magic power consumption, Matou Kariya would definitely not have fewer magic circuits.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the bullet fired by the Thompson competitor was extremely powerful. This gun was specially modified by Kiritsugu Emiya.

This gun was originally a special-purpose single-shot pistol. It could use bullets of various calibers just by replacing the gun body. Emiya Kiritsugu installed it with a homemade gun body forged using magic engineering, which is specifically used to fire origin bullets. It is portable but has great physical destructive power, so that the magician has to call on huge amounts of magic power for defense.

"puff!"

The bullet hit Matou Kariya's body, and poor Matou Kariya was almost blown away. The power of this gun was indeed very strong. However, after the origin bullet entered the body, it did not cause a penetrating wound. There was no wound or bleeding at the place where the bullet hit, but it just became like a necrotic old wound.

"hiss!"

This time, Matou Kariya reacted, and his expression was extremely painful, because the magic circuits in his body instantly became fragmented.

However, what happened next stunned Kiritsugu Emiya. His Origin Bullet, which had always been successful, failed this time.

Although he did break Matou Kariya's magic circuit, Matou Kariya actually repaired it quickly.

"This is impossible!"

This time, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help it. This went against his cognition. If the fact that Matou Gan became a Dead Apostle was just because his information was wrong, then the current situation was challenging his common sense, challenging the common sense he had believed in for so many years.

The so-called "origin", also known as "chaotic impulse", can be simply understood as "the essence of the soul", "destined cause and effect", and "primitive instinct". It means that all things, including life, have their direction (cause) at the beginning, and will inevitably develop in this direction (effect).

The origin of Emiya Kiritsugu is "cutting off" and "connecting", and the name "Kiritsugu" comes from this. Of course, it is not just a simple "destruction and regeneration", but it will be different from before. The act of "cutting and regenerating" will cause the object to undergo irreversible "deterioration". After all, it is "connection" rather than "restoration".

This phenomenon manifests itself in life in the sense that the more you want to fix something, the more counterproductive it will be.

The origin bullet is the magic bullet that was sealed into Kiritsugu Emiya's ribs. Just like his origin "cutting off and connecting", it brings an irreversible "qualitative change" to the target. The magic circuits of the magus who is hit by the bullet will be combined together in a disordered way.

Under such circumstances, there is naturally no way to use magic anymore. Not to mention using magic, it is already very difficult to stay alive.

Kiritsugu Emiya used two of his ribs to make 66 bullets, and currently 66 of the 37 bullets have been used, killing 37 magi. So for Kiritsugu Emiya, it is common sense that no magi can escape from this shot, but this common sense has now been broken.

"You are such a pervert, no wonder you can kill so many magicians!"

Matou Kariya looked at Emiya Kiritsugu and couldn't help but sigh. He was still a little frightened. If it weren't for Lord Ke Ling's powerful ability, that blow just now would definitely turn him into a useless man who could be slaughtered at will. Berserker would also lose his strength due to the loss of magic power supply and quickly exit the stage.

Not to mention Matou Kariya, even Kenneth looked at Emiya Kiritsugu with caution. This kind of attack was too vicious for a magician. This Emiya Kiritsugu was indeed very annoying!

As the most orthodox magus, it is normal for Kenneth to dislike Emiya Kiritsugu. After all, Emiya Kiritsugu is known as the "Magician Killer".

"."

Emiya Kiritsugu quickly calmed down, but he was helpless about Matou Kariya's complaints. Who was the pervert?! He could even ignore his invincible Origin Bullet!

The battle on the Master's side came to a stalemate as Matou Kariya remained alive. Kenneth did not try again. Even something as vicious as the Origin Bullet could not cause any harm to Matou Kariya, so there was no need for him to try.

The real highlight, of course, is on the Heroic Servants' side. The battle between Saber and Berserker has become somewhat one-sided.

Under the full-force attack of Berserker, Saber was clearly at a disadvantage. Although Saber's panel was also excellent, Berserker's panel with sufficient magic power supply was too abnormal. Coupled with his unparalleled martial arts, Saber was suppressed and could only dodge continuously relying on her intuition.

A-level intuition has indeed been of great help to Saber. "Intuition" is the ability to determine "the most suitable action for oneself" in an instant during battle. It can even enter the realm of "predicting the future", which can also be understood as "Observation Haki".

"Arthur!"

Lancelot roared, wielding the "Indestructible Lake Light" to chop at Altria. To be honest, the reason why Saber was suppressed might be related to the fact that the "Indestructible Lake Light" could cause additional damage to the Heroic Spirits with the "Dragon Attribute". After all, King Arthur has one third of the blood of a red dragon.

"Buzz!"

Saber Altria continuously released magic power and blocked Berserker Lancelot's attacks. She was able to keep up with Berserker's strength and speed entirely by relying on the release of A-level magic power. She relied on the release of magic power to continuously strengthen herself. This seemingly poor girl could also wrestle with a strong man.

"Sir Lancelot"

Looking at the mad Lancelot, Artoria had an extremely complicated expression. She had been trying to communicate with Lancelot, but obviously could not succeed. Lancelot wanted to communicate with her, but after being driven crazy, he was unable to control himself.

Different from the twists and turns here, the battle between Ke Ling and Lancer Diarmuid on the other side is very direct, and they are just trying to end the battle.

“Puff!”

The Demon-Destroying Red Rose stabbed at the outer shell of Ke Ling's Hezer, but it only penetrated a little, which stunned Diarmuid.

"So this isn't caused by magic?"

At first, Diarmuid thought that Ke Ling's armor was formed by magic, but it turned out to be incredibly hard.

"Forehead"

Ke Ling was also stunned. Wow, this attack didn't seem to be as sharp as he thought. He could only say that he had underestimated his rapidly increasing physique. Although this attribute did not increase the attack ability, it did have a blessing effect on the blood volume and defense attributes. He could now be described as thick-skinned and tough.

"Qiang!"

Ke Ling slashed out with his sword, Diarmuid resisted hastily and quickly gathered his mind. He couldn't be distracted when facing Ke Ling.

Ke Ling's ghostly "body movement" had already left him with several wounds, some of which were burns and some were frostbite. Ke Ling's knife had flames attached to it, and the other had frost condensed on it, creating a double whammy of ice and fire for him.

"call!"

Ke Ling took a breath. In fact, he did not use too much blood magic in the battle with the Lancer. He intended to use this Lancer with excellent martial arts and high combat IQ to hone his sword skills. To be honest, because he had too many skills, his combat skills were actually somewhat behind.
