However, just when the great sword was about to cut off Diarmuid's head by a centimeter, a burst of blue-black fire suddenly rose from the foot of the mountain man.

In an instant, the old man of the mountain appeared beside Matou Sakura as if teleporting, swung his sword with his right hand and slashed at the air on the side.

A bullet that was perfectly divided into two halves from the middle fell to his feet, and then was burned into nothingness by the fire of the underworld.

"Oh!"

The ferocious giant shield was slammed to the ground, completely covering Matou Ying's petite body.

The boundless murderous aura swept out from the old man of the mountain, making everyone present, whether openly or secretly, froze in place, and the servants even stood in front of their master with full armor, as if approaching Enemy.

He looked in the direction of the bullet with his burning eyes, and saw through the darkness to find the rat who wanted to take the opportunity to attack.

"Hey—!"

The sound of the evening bell echoed in the night sky of Winterwood Pier, letting everyone hear the last lingering sound that symbolized the end of fate.

"The oracle has come down! Then go die!!"

Chapter 18 Hand over the head!

"Tonight, it seems that I can harvest a new head again."

The deep voice of the old man on the mountain made people unable to hear any emotion, but the tone of his voice was as flat as boiled water, but all the people who heard it subconsciously tensed up, as if their souls were being held.

After he finished speaking, he raised the big sword with one hand, and disappeared in place with a burst of dark fire, leaving only the last words of exhortation.

"My contractor, wait here obediently for my return."

Matou Sakura, who was hiding behind the giant shield, nodded silently, then shrank her body, hiding perfectly.

Diarmuid, who escaped from the dead, was a little overwhelmed when he saw that the old man of the mountain had disappeared, and stood still on the spot with a red spear in one hand, looking very embarrassed.

"Lancer, stop for a second."

Kenneth gave orders to the dumbfounded Diarmuid aloud, and squatted down to pick up a bullet from the top of the warehouse.

He pinched the bullet with his thumb and index finger and looked at it twice, although he didn't know much about firearms.

But relying on the size and length of the bullet, Kenneth still recognized that it was a special ammunition for a sniper rifle.

"Hmph! I didn't expect there to be a despicable person who intends to fish in troubled waters and use indiscriminate means. It's a pity that my magic dress 'Moon Spirit Essence' has automatic defense techniques."

Kenneth's words revealed a trace of pride and complacency. At his feet, a mass of liquid mercury maintained a spherical shape, and its interior was always in a state of flow and rotation.

This is the magic dress that Kenneth completed when he was in his 20s, and it is also one of the favorite pieces in his many collections.

"Lancer, go find the mouse that dared to attack in the dark, I don't need you to worry about it for now."

Kenneth said and threw the bullet in front of Diarmuid.

The sound of the bullet hitting the ground was extremely obvious on the silent pier, making everyone watching around realize what happened just now.

Diarmuid, who was endowed with modern knowledge by the Holy Grail, immediately understood that not only the little girl, but also his own lord had also been assassinated.

anger.

Unspeakable anger rose from the bottom of Diarmuid's heart, and it was hundreds of times more angry than when he fought against the mountain man just now.

Not only because someone dared to intervene in the sacred duel between the two sides to sabotage, but also because he did not do his best to protect the lord.

It wasn't until this time that Diarmuid truly realized the power of the Mountain Man.

He was able to retreat without hesitation at the most critical moment of the battle to protect his master, and he himself did not even notice that the master was being attacked.

This is really, too embarrassing for him as a knight!

"Yes, my lord. Bet on the honor of the chief knight of the Fiona Knights, Diarmuid Audina, I will not let you down again this time!!"

Diarmuid leaned over and picked up the yellow short gun from the ground, followed Kenneth's instructions and ran towards the direction of the bullet, blowing up a fierce and bitter wind.

Although it seems a little late to chase the killer now, it is not a problem in front of his A+ level of agility.

Emiya Kiritsugu was on the run at this time, he really didn't expect that all the sure-fire assassinations of himself and Maiya failed this time.

It is understandable that Kenneth, as the genius magician of the clock tower, is not so easy to kill. After all, he is the leader of a large faction, and he faces many open and hidden arrows on weekdays.

But the little girl who seemed to have no ability to protect herself was not dead, which was a bit beyond Emiya Kiritsugu's expectation.

What happened to the servant whose data panel was too bad to bear to look at?

Not only was he able to catch Lancer's Noble Phantasm without any defense, but he also retreated decisively when he was about to decapitate the other party's head, and rushed back to protect his master at a speed almost like teleportation.

Even Saber, who is reputed to be the strongest job agent, is not so powerful if most of her attributes are A?

Although the killing intent erupted by the old man of the mountain just now did not target Emiya Kiritsugu, he was still so shocked that he even dropped the sniper rifle in his hand.

That kind of murderous aura that was so pure that it was almost death made Emiya Kiritsugu feel chills in his heart, and it was impossible to imagine how many people were beheaded by this servant himself.

Thousands?

How many?

No, no, this is really too little, at most it is an ancient warrior-level human slaughter.

The murderous aura of these heroes is tragic at best, and has the effect of deterring the enemy, but it is far from the level of death aura.

Come to think of it, only the god of death who is in charge of harvesting souls walking in the hell of the underworld in the legend would have such a posture.

Emiya Kiritsugu regretted it for a while, what kind of monster-level servant did he and Kuon Maiya provoke with their own hands.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who made it clear that the operation failed, ran away without hesitation after notifying Maiya Konon, and he planned to join Saber and Irisviel first.

In this Holy Grail War, only followers can stand against them.

Emiya Kiritsugu felt that it was the first time that he missed Saber so much, at least this girl knight who was so rigid in his thinking would stand up to protect herself as the Master without hesitation.

until death or victory.

In order to ensure his own safety, Emiya Kiritsugu contacted Arturia through Command Seals.

Let her take Irisviel to move to where she is, in order to shorten the time it takes to travel.

Although Diarmuid was not an Archer, he was also adept at arching and riding as a great knight. Even without the bonus of Hawkeye, he still quickly locked on Emiya Kiritsugu who was fleeing in the dark.

He jumped onto the top floor of a container in a few steps, aimed at Emiya Kiritsugu's back and threw the red spear in his hand, and then burst out with his extreme speed to follow behind the spear.

On the other side, Maiya Kuto wandered around among the containers at the dock, trying to get rid of the danger that might be behind her.

She covered up and embellished some traces left by herself, and used bombs and other weapons to lay some hidden small traps from time to time, intending to slow down the pace of the pursuer.

Maiya Kuto didn't know if her arrangement had played a role, anyway, nothing unusual happened until she broke away from the container group and was about to arrive at the designated place.

Emiya Kiritsugu clearly heard the screaming sound of the air being broken behind him, he didn't look back, he could only bury his head and use all his strength to try to make his speed a little faster.

At the same time, the Command Seal on the back of Emiya Kiritsugu's right hand lit up red, and he was ready to summon Saber to his side at any time.

The red spear descended from the sky like a shooting star, dragging a long stream of magic power, and it was about to nail Emiya Kiritsugu to the ground.

A petite figure quickly appeared from the side path, and the knight girl holding the invisible sword slashed at the spear with all her strength, sending it flying backwards.

The overflowing magical power due to the collision burst out and oppressed the surrounding air, followed by the sound of guns and knives colliding, followed by the sound of air explosion.

The strong wind blows up the ground that Artoria stepped on into gravel, and the high-speed flying stones turn all the containers around into hornets' nests.

Diarmuid flew over, jumped up high step by step, and caught his red spear that was sent flying with one hand.

After landing, the tips of the two spears pointed directly at Arturia who was standing with the sword. The knight of the spears had reached the extreme, with murderous aura brewing in his eyes, and there was no smile on his face.

"Kiritsugu!"

Irisviel, who had just arrived, stretched out her hand to support Emiya Kiritsugu, who was out of breath from exhaustion, but Emiya Kiritsugu still chose to sit on the ground to breathe for a while.

Just as Arturia and Diarmuid were confronting each other, Maiya Kuto got out from a gap in the container, looked around vigilantly, and ran towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

Seeing that Kuwon Maiya was about to run in front of Emiya Kiritsugu, a faint blue ghost fire slowly emerged from behind Emiya Kiritsugu, and the jet-black figure wearing a skull mask burst into burning billows. The underworld fire appeared.

Kuon Maiya, who was running, widened her eyes and subconsciously shouted:

"Kiritsugu! Be careful behind you!!"

Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel who were sitting on the ground were startled, turned their heads to look back, and what caught their eyes was the jet-black great sword that was swung down.

"Hand over the head!"

Accompanied by the humming of the old man on the mountain, the light of the knife flashed away like thunder, and a severed head soared into the sky.

The red blood spurted out like a fountain and splashed all over the ground.

Chapter 19 I really didn't mean to slap you in the face

The mountain man's sword accurately slashed across Maiya's neck without hindrance, just when she had just run up to Emiya Kiritsugu and tried to block the knife.

But the old man of the mountain's target was her from the very beginning, no matter if Maiya Kwon would bump into her, or just stopped in place just now.

In short, tonight, the woman named Kuyuan Maiya is doomed to die.

Both the law of cause and effect and the line of fate are very mysterious things.

Where there is a cause, there is an effect, what is sown, what is reaped.

The old man of the mountain didn't know whether there were other different fate lines for the person whose head was beheaded by him, but when the other party made the move to assassinate his contractor, the fate line with countless possibilities had already come to an end.

The ultimate path has been set, and that is the journey to death.

The old man of the mountain didn't care why Kuon Maiya wanted to protect the unknown man in front of him, even if he knew they were together.

If there is a next time, it will be the same as cutting off the head with a sword.

The cause of attacking the contractor has already been determined by the sword he cut out.

As for the reason why the other master was assassinated, it depends on whether the kid who brushes the gun has the ability to end it.

The ringing of the evening bell gives the guidance of who should die under his sword, not all those whose destiny has come will be beheaded by him.

This still depends on cause and effect.

The karma will be settled by whoever, and the old man of the mountain will not interfere in other people's affairs unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Crack!"

The big sword that was still dripping with blood was dropped to the ground by the old man of the mountain.

Kuto Maiya's headless body fell into Emiya Kiritsugu's arms by inertia, and the head fell half a meter away.

The sudden change made Diarmuid and Artoria who were confronting each other unable to react. Emiya Kiritsugu who was sitting on the ground and Irisviel who was squatting beside him also froze with wide-eyed eyes. There.

Apart from most of the drops of blood splashed on the ground when Kuwon Maiya was beheaded, a lot of it fell on Emiya Kiritsugu's raised cheeks.

And now the warm blood that was still gurgling soaked through Emiya Kiritsugu's black suit, and even Irisviel's body was also stained with blood.

The drops of blood on the snow-white winter clothes looked like blooming red flowers, which looked very beautiful but even more desolate.

The figure of the old man of the mountain disappeared quietly, as if he had never been there before, and no one noticed his departure.

Breaking the silence, it was Artoria who responded first.

She was alert to Diarmuid who might attack at any time, and asked aloud:

"Master, and Irisviel, are you alright?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Emiya Kiritsugu choked with sobs and let out a hoarse growl like a wounded beast, clenched his fists, his knuckles were pinched white, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.

Unstoppable tears overflowed from the man's eyes, he wanted to suppress the feelings he hadn't had for a long time and regain his composure, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

Emiya Kiritsugu originally thought that he would not be so sad, but when the real parting of life and death came, he found that the heart that was already as iron was not as hard as imagined.
