Tribute to the Demon King

And for a hunter, the worst nightmare is becoming someone else's prey.Being able to find Caster's group was even more important to him than killing Saber and his Master.

In this way, after killing Assassin, he can completely disappear into the shadows and will not be noticed by others.

...Then, let's snipe and kill his Master before he releases his Noble Phantasm.Only a distance of less than three hundred meters, with Kiritsugu's ability, just one bullet can kill him.

Kiritsugu has made up his mind to kill, he set up the bracket of the gun body, just about to enter the state of sniping with full concentration.

——But at this moment, the demon-like Caster seemed to sense his existence, looked over coldly, and completely blocked his Master's figure with his own body.

At that moment, Kiritsugu felt his back suddenly soaked in cold sweat.

Even though it was hundreds of meters away, the cold killing intent still spread over... No, it has nothing to do with that——

Kiritsugu immediately understood what happened.

He turned around suddenly, and found a quiet little girl with brown shoulder-length hair in a bright red princess dress standing behind him at some point, but he didn't hear any movement.

"Good evening, sir."

Noticing that Kiritsugu turned around, the little girl introduced herself in a polite voice with a soft impression: "I am Liqi, Liqi from the Borden family. I hope you can answer a question for me..."

"From zero to ninety-nine, what's your favorite number?"

"You answer me a question first."

Facing the question from the slender little girl, Kiritsugu frowned, straightened up and asked softly, "How old are you this year?"

"Thirty-three."

The little girl who looked to be eight or nine years old at most put her hands behind her back and replied with a smile.

——The next moment, Kiritsugu pulled out the Contender from behind without hesitation.

With lightning speed, Kiritsugu opened the shaft under the safety with his index finger, slid the bullet in his fingers into the magazine, and closed it with a flick of his wrist.Under the stimulation of death, the whole process only took one second.

Then, he shot the little girl suddenly.

However, his bullet missed.

It wasn't that he missed on purpose or was dodged ahead of time... but was split open by a cold light.

The helpless and slender little girl suddenly pulled out a blood-stained ax from behind, and directly chopped Kiritsugu's bullets into the air.

"You are very rough. Do you want to do this to an innocent little girl?"

Li Qi smiled slightly, holding the ax and slowly approaching Kiritsugu without the slightest sense of tension: "How many cuts do you want? Twenty-nine? Forty-one? Sure enough, forty!"

"It's really you..."

Kiritsugu nodded in understanding, and slowly backed away.

In his mind, the famous thirty-three-year-old Lizzie Borden... was the only one.In the famous Mother Goose nursery rhyme, "Lizzie Borden Takes the Axe" is based on her.

He didn't panic in the slightest when facing the little girl who was slowly approaching with an ax more than ten meters away.He just slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, put it in his mouth and lit it, and took a deep breath.

Then, he called softly: "Shoot for help, Archer."

As soon as the words fell, several meteor-like pale arrows struck from the side, and shot precisely at Lizzie Borden's forehead, heart and abdomen!

Not surprisingly, Archer's attack hit the bull's-eye!

Lizzie Borden, who didn't react at all, was directly pierced by the pale arrow, and was carried by the arrow and hit the building. There was a loud sound, and thick smoke was stirred up.

The power of each shot can penetrate the rock plate, which is comparable to the attack of a ballista. With four shots in a row, even a house can be easily turned into a honeycomb.

With just one attack, the familiar caster summoned by this Caster was instantly killed.

"Easy as pie."

Archer whistled frivolously in the distance.

Just as Kiritsugu relaxed, the next moment he suddenly frowned.

wait, that's...

Under the collapsed corner, there was no body of Lizzie Borden.Instead, the body of a blue bird appeared there, its feathers fluttering in the air, and gradually turned into spirit particles and disappeared into the air.

Red-breasted bird?No... In this case, it should be called a robin.

Could it be that Caster is that kind of thing...

Kiritsugu vaguely had some guesses about Caster's real body.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts-"

Lizzie Borden's voice sounded.It was completely different from the gentleness and softness before, and it became sharp and sharp, irrational at all: "Chop it off! Kill it! Chop it up! Chop it off forty times! Forty times! Forty times!"

Her eyes became blood red, and she charged towards Kiritsugu again, brandishing an axe.

Without hesitation, Kiritsugu called out to his Servant again: "Archer!"

"Understood!"

The young man holding the longbow became serious, and pulled the bowstring again. Eight consecutive attacks hit the ax-wielding girl whose speed and strength had increased after rebirth.

Hit without a doubt.A blast without a doubt.

Then—with another robin turned into a spirit child, she was undoubtedly reborn again.
