Ajin's Infinite World Raiders

However, for Emiya Kiritsugu, the real loss was not the injury he suffered, nor the destroyed castle, but the things stored in the castle.

——Almost half of the guns, ammunition, and bombs he prepared for this Holy Grail War were lost in the explosion just now.

Especially the origin bullet, which is the killer, except for the ten he carried with him, all of them were lost here.

Well, to be precise, there should be only nine, because one has already been used in the battle just now...

Since his debut, this is the second time he has suffered such a heavy loss - the first time when he was young, he personally used a FIM-92 Stinger missile to take his adoptive mother Natalia to the plane. Fireworks exploded.

"This time it was really a misstep. I didn't expect the origin bullet to be completely ineffective against Caster, and I even took this stronghold..."

After sighing, Emiya Kiritsugu did not continue to be immersed in the shadow of failure, and while healing his body with unskilled healing magic, he said to his servant:

"Lancer, take me to meet Ellie and the others, we need to move to another stronghold."

"Understood, Master!"

……

After half an hour—

"It seems that someone is one step ahead of us!"

Einzbern Castle, or outside the ruins of the castle, Kenneth, who was bringing Saber to take revenge, looked at the miserable scene in front of him, not gloating, but rather dissatisfied.

He originally thought that he would have the opportunity to use magic to defeat the despicable magician killer in a dignified manner, and let the other party know that the real noble magician is definitely not comparable to the trash fish that the other party has killed in the past, but he did not expect that the other party is more than he imagined. It's not a big deal. Before he came, the old nest was already taken over by someone else?

"Sure enough, you shouldn't expect too much from this war hound. After all, it's just a shame among magicians!"

Cursing this indignantly, Kenneth came here in good spirits, returned in disappointment, and left with an upset stomach.

Chapter 39 Want to get by...Next sentence

"Emiya Kiritsugu, was actually forced to this extent?"

On the other side, Kotomine Kirei, who had followed Kenneth all the way and planned to have a good "talk" with Emiya Kiritsugu, saw the tragic state of Einzbern Castle through Assassin's eyes, and was very surprised.

He didn't think Emiya Kiritsugu was dead. In his eyes, the man who had "similar qualities" to him couldn't have died so easily.

Moreover, there was no news of Lancer's departure from the Assassin clone who remained in the church, which was enough to prove that Emiya Kiritsugu was not dead, but just escaped.

After Kenneth left in disappointment, Kotomine Kirei personally went to the ruins of the castle to check the traces of the battle, and he immediately discovered some clues.

"This trace of destruction...is that the black monster? It's surprising..."

It wasn't the first time Kotomine Kirei had come into contact with that kind of black monster. The first time was through the eyes of Assassin's clone, and the second time he even came to a close-range duel.

Judging from the two experiences, this kind of monster is indeed a very terrifying opponent for ordinary people and even human magicians, but for a Servant of the Three Knights class, it should not be a problem.

"According to the teacher's speculation, this monster should be the familiar of Caster, who has never shown up, but it is possible that Caster did it himself to force Kiritsugu Emiya, who owns Lancer, to the point of abandoning Einzbern Castle? "

Kotomine Kirei, who had never seen Zhao Zhe with his own eyes, could only think so. If Caster who appeared in this Holy Grail War was one of those famous magicians in mythology, it would be great to be able to suppress Lancer after careful preparation. possible.

"...It seems that some obstacles must be removed before contacting that man!"

Having said that, Kotomine Kirei picked up a charred brick from the ruins and crushed it into pieces!

……

"...Is that so, Einzbern actually destroyed his own castle... It seems that the threat of that Caster is still more than I expected!"

After listening to Kotomine Kirei's report, Tokiomi Tosaka groaned while stroking the Civilization Staff in his hand.

"Yes, and Caster's body has not yet appeared. I think it is necessary to increase the energy in this area and let the Assassins find each other's location first!"

Kotomine Kirei, who was standing opposite, said with a serious face.

——Well, because the existence of Assassin has been exposed, Kotomine Kirei also left the church, and can enter and leave the Tohsaka mansion openly, and directly announce to all the participants the signal of the alliance between the Archer group and the Assassin group.

Although I don't know why that "Caster" got into trouble with Emiya Kiritsugu, the fact that he took action against the Lancer group and seemed to have the upper hand has undoubtedly become a reality, and I want to confirm something from that man. Mine Kirei naturally did not want to see Emiya Kiritsugu being defeated or even killed by others, so he strongly urged his teachers and allies to clear this uncertainty first.

Of course, he also knew the strategy, and he wouldn't just start a full-scale war with Caster, but on the grounds of "intelligence investigation", he wanted to temporarily shift the Assassin's investigation focus to Caster.

——This is not abrupt at all. After all, a Caster, who is so foggy and can force the Lancer group to give up their stronghold, does have a reason to be taken seriously!

"..."

Tohsaka Tokiomi thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement with Kotomine Kirei's proposal:

"Alright, Caster's information really needs to be known, Kirei, just let go and do it!"

"Yes, Master!"

Kotomine Kirei nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed inwardly, if Assassin's existence had not been revealed and the church's credibility was still there, he might be able to use the Command Spell preserved in the church to drive other Masters and Servants to attack Caster. chase -

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, wasn't there an incident where a large number of police officers were injured by "devils" in the forest?Now it seems that this "demon" should be Caster's faculties. If he uses this as a reason to call on other masters to join the subjugation in the name of "destroying the secret of magic", the effect will be very good.

It's a pity that the battle in the port area directly exposed the existence of Assassin, and the church that accepted Kotomine Kirei suddenly lost its credibility as a neutral. The other Masters thought it was some kind of conspiracy...

Moreover, with Tohsaka Tokiomi's life attitude of "keep grace in battle", since the plan to form an alliance with Kotomine and his son was exposed, he can no longer be shameless and continue to let the church blow black whistle - that is not only to other people An insult to the IQ of the combatant, but also an insult to himself.

……

"I didn't expect that the boy was really powerful enough to push the magician killer to this point..."

Matou's mansion, Matou Kariya once again stayed alone in a closed magic studio.
