The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

"I admit that I underestimated you." Menichel's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes involuntarily glanced back.

He originally thought that someone like Kotomine Kirei, who had never experienced war, would be easily controlled by him.

"So, Ms. Solawu, is there something you want to ask me?"

Solau's face was almost wrinkled, and she couldn't speak because of fear—how could she have any thoughts, she was just following Menechel's command.

If he insisted on taking action, Solau would surely die - Menasheel was fully aware of this, but he could do nothing about it. All emergency plans seemed redundant at this time.

Just as the situation was gradually falling into a vicious circle, rumbling thunder and war cries broke through the wall, and the wall collapsed and broke in an instant. Then a chariot ran over the tiles and knocked Assassin out with unabated momentum.

Menechel's eyes grew stern, and he swung the spear in his hand without any scruples. Blood splattered with every thrust. Kotomine Kirei's eyes widened, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Kawenka is very powerful. The plot of this volume is completely messed up.

Chapter 118: A Free Feast

The disaster-stricken Toki City was once again busy with post-disaster reconstruction today, and this time the target of the attack was the Toki Police Station. There was a huge gap that almost removed the entire wall, but miraculously no one was injured. The initial speculation was that it was driven by Kotomine Kirei's fanatics.

Just as the citizens of Dongmu City were lamenting the corruption of the local church priests, an oxcart was speeding over Dongmu in secret. The seats that were originally only for two people were forced to accommodate four people, making it a little crowded. This also caused Weber and Solau to almost shrink in their own arms.

"Solawu, is everything settled?"

Listening to Lancer's question, Solau moved slightly uncomfortably. She was not used to the opposite sex getting so close to her. As for Minachel's concerns, Solau answered very straightforwardly:

"Don't worry, the police officers' memories and surrounding surveillance have been tampered with."

After hearing this answer, Minachell breathed a sigh of relief. Kotomine Kirei's decisive and almost hysterical response did make Minachell unable to react for a while. The moment Solau was kidnapped, all emergency plans became empty talk.

Individually, Menechel does not have the ability to protect others. Fortunately, with the death of Kotomine Kirei, Assassin, the most threatening enemy so far, has completely exited the stage.

Thinking of this, Menechel turned his gaze towards Rider, who was concentrating on controlling the direction of the chariot. The king whom he had mocked before came to his aid at the most critical moment. If it were not for Rider's "critical support", the pace of events might have really been controlled by Kotomine Kirei.

"Rider, thank you for your help."

"Nothing. The church itself has problems. Of course you would pay attention to the so-called wanted notice." Rider glanced at Menechel with his peripheral vision, and then looked away at a very fast speed: "It is a basic consensus to eliminate Assassin first before the war begins - I just didn't expect you, Lancer, to be so decisive."

There was no need for Rider's reminder at all, as he killed Kotomine Kirei the moment the abnormality occurred.

Menechel obviously heard the compliment in Rider's words. He pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. He couldn't respond to the conversation in front of Solau.

At the moment when Rider broke through the wall, Menechel was actually not sure whether the other party was a friend or an enemy. The reason why he could stab without hesitation was that he had the idea of ​​​​breaking the jar - even if Rider was really a reinforcement of Kotomine Kirei, Menechel, who was already in a dilemma at that time, could not rescue the Master who was besieged by two Servants, so he could only take someone down with him before he disappeared.

“My Master and the deceased…Kayneth were master and disciple.” Rider’s face was calm as he slowly controlled the ox cart to adjust its position: “So if you want to thank someone, you should say it to this kid.”

After hearing Rider's words, Solau, who had been silent until now, finally lowered her head and looked at the boy who had been ignored by her. Waver was a little overwhelmed by Solau's direct gaze and could only look away.

Ignoring the interaction between the Masters, Menachel focused all his attention on Rider. This powerful enemy whom he had just met at the banquet yesterday had a completely different aura today.

"With the death of that priest, the order of the Holy Grail War will become extremely chaotic." Rider said, "So how about forming an alliance?"

This is the real purpose of Rider's visit.

In the unorganized chaos, even the King of Conquerors could not help but murmur - he was also worried that while he was out exploring, the base he was staying at would be destroyed by a sudden explosion.

Without the Supervisor, the ambitious and conspiratorial people hiding behind the Servants will only become more restless. If nothing else, at least there will be more and more contestants like Lancer who use "outside tricks".

This also forced Rider to guard against Servant's attempt to kill the Master first.

"Alliance, with me?"

Menechel blinked. He certainly did not reject the idea of ​​forming an alliance. In an emergency like today, it would probably be much easier to have an ally like Rider.

Putting aside the facts, if one could choose an alliance partner, they would prefer to form an alliance with the smaller and cuter queen rather than the muscular male king Menechel, but Einzbern behind Saber obviously did not think so.

So looking at the overall situation, at least in the initial stage, there is no more suitable ally than Rider.

"But I can't trust you so easily."

The chances of success in forming an alliance with an acquaintance were higher because both parties knew each other's personalities inside out, and the total time that Menachel had spent with Rider was less than half a day, so of course he couldn't safely hand Solau over to Rider.

I think Rider also has such concerns besides Menechel.

"Don't magicians have this...contract?"

As if seeing Menechel's consent, Rider suddenly threw the reins, and the chariot, which had been hovering in the sky, suddenly found its direction in an instant and drove straight in one direction at high speed.

"Anyway, let's go back to our base first."

……

As time went by, the number of people on the street gradually increased, and the hard-working Emiya Kiritsugu finally took his eyes off the auto-aiming scope.

He observed this stronghold for a long time, but he was never able to wait for Solaw to come back after he went out. Now that the crowd was gradually gathering, it would no longer be suitable to shoot even if he could wait for him.

Without waiting for Emiya Kiritsugu to dismantle the gun and put it away, he paused, and the causal line that had never been used since the summoning miraculously transmitted Saber's voice.

Emiya Kiritsugu and his Servant had a very bad relationship, and for this reason, Emiya Kiritsugu listened carefully to the information that Saber wanted to convey as soon as possible even at the cost of using the causal line.

Emiya Kiritsugu's prediction was correct, the information was even more explosive than expected - the impact on Emiya Kiritsugu even exceeded the "Assassin has left the stage" news he received on the first day of the Holy Grail War.

The haunting priest was killed.

Soraw's clear traces and the scene of Lancer burning Kotomine Kirei's body were all visible under the monitoring of the familiar.

It was as if it was loudly announcing to the other contestants that from this moment on, the Holy Grail War had entered an undisciplined free mode.

Kiritsugu Emiya didn't understand what benefit Lancer would get from muddying the waters, but this was undoubtedly good news for Kiritsugu Emiya - the truck filled with high explosives he prepared was finally put to use.

His mood improved slightly, and he even had the intention of politely asking Saber about her whereabouts.

"What are you going to do next?"

I was just asking out of habit but I didn’t expect Saber to take it seriously. I heard a pause on the other side of the causal line, and then I heard Saber’s increasingly firm voice:

"I will go find Lancer and finish the unfinished duel."

My National Day holiday ended on the 3rd. I am now in school and making up for the boast I made before.

Chapter 119 Zero (No subscription required)

dark night.

There was a noise of electricity coming from the earphone, and the voice of his assistant Maiya fell clearly into his ears, reporting the latest information to him.

Emiya Kiritsugu's frown could not be relaxed at all, and the smoke was crushed by the evening breeze and drifted in the distant night sky.

A day had passed since Kotomine Kirei "disappeared", and the church, which existed in name only, could no longer control the increasingly deteriorating war situation. Battles had broken out more than once during the day, and most of the time they were battles between Berserker and Lancer.

For unknown reasons, a fierce conflict suddenly broke out between the two Servants.

Holy Grail War.

Emiya Kiritsugu could not help but murmur this word in his heart. He thought he had taken this ceremony seriously enough, but the increasingly chaotic situation made the already unclear future even more blurred.

An inexplicable feeling of suffocation even made him have the absurd idea of ​​"escaping with his wife and daughter".

First it was Tousaka, then the church, who will be the next target of the attack - Matou or Einzbern.

His behavior was closer to that of Assassin than Lancer, he only targeted his Master and completely abandoned the honor of being a knight.

Relying on the Lancer class's extremely high mobility to carry out the assassination - with that speed, with the normal human reaction ability, if Lancer had not been discovered from the beginning, he would have been beheaded.

Even if they succeeded in discovering it, Lancer's tendency to release Noble Phantasms indiscriminately would force the person being assassinated to use Command Seals.

But Emiya Kiritsugu had to admit that a Servant like Lancer was the most suitable for him.

He took out the cigarette and lit up the crumpled information about Kenneth.

In order to confirm the authenticity of the corpse that appeared in the police station, Kiritsugu Emiya even went to the police station in person, just to make sure that Kenneth was really dead.

I never thought that the magician who survived by chance would end up in such an embarrassing state.

The Lancer base that was previously observed has also been completely destroyed, and Lancer seems to have replaced the Assassin who had already left and disappeared into the darkness again.

"Kiritsugu."

The woman's voice sounded again, and Emiya Kiritsugu quickly took off his headset and put out the cigarette in his hand. The man who always appeared cold and stern had a rare softened expression at this moment.

"Has Saber found Lancer?"

"Unfortunately, not really."

Irisviel's tone dropped, and she keenly caught the fleeting gloomy look in the man's eyes.

"Be careful not to get too far away from Saber. Lancer is different from Saber. His target may be you."

Faced with her man's concern, Irisviel showed a quiet smile and said "hmm" slightly.

Logically, she shouldn’t say this to Kiritsugu at this moment—it would only shake his resolve, but Irisviel couldn’t suppress her weakness as a woman.

Assassin's exit heralds the countdown of the life of the container named Irisviel.

“Kiritsugu, I…”

Before Irisviel could finish her words, something strange happened in the courtyard before her.

As if covered by a thin layer of mist filter, the originally bright night scene was stained with a layer of silver, and strands of white silk threads intertwined like a spider web appeared in the air.

Emiya Kiritsugu's originally relaxed body immediately tensed up, and the temporarily reinforced barrier was activated by the intruder at this time.

Different from the gentle evening breeze, a tornado that could not be called a storm was descending, wrapping up a small girl.

Altria was wrapped in blue and white armor, and the girl glanced vigilantly at the white silk threads that were gradually breaking in the distance.

Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent. He did not let Saber act rashly. Through the tiny gaps between the silk threads, the unknown creatures with wriggling dark purple tentacles gradually became clearly visible.

After seeing the bizarre hybrid meat mountain, Emiya Kiritsugu quickly thought of the enemy's identity:

Caster? Why is he here?

Before Emiya Kiritsugu could react, the wriggling pile of flesh quickly approached this side at a speed far exceeding before.

"Kiritsugu!"

Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at Altria and calmed himself down.

"Try to hold Caster back as long as possible."

The noise caused by Caster's sudden attack could definitely not be concealed, so it was better to take the initiative instead of passively defending.

Using Saber and "Saber's Master" who are fighting as bait, they lure out the enemies hiding in the dark.

……

Caster's sudden attack caught all the onlookers off guard, except for Saber's group who were responding. It was not surprising that Caster, who was unable to think like a normal person, could launch such a desperate attack in the current situation where the ceremony was approaching chaos.

The familiars faithfully transmitted images of the battlefield to the magicians. Shortly after the battle broke out, Menechel, surrounded by dozens of familiars, arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

"Lancer, now is the best opportunity to kill Master Saber."

Even though Solau was in Rider's chariot high in the sky at this moment, he still patiently suggested this from a great distance. This was the nth time he had persuaded Menechel in these days.

Since Kenneth's death, this woman who wished she would never have anything to do with Kenneth again seemed to have a subtle change in her attitude towards the dead man.

Outside the Einzbern castle, hiding among the layers of branches and leaves, Menechel's control of the situation was obvious at a glance.

Looking at Artoria running back and forth between the tentacles, Menechel pursed his lips. After forming an alliance with Rider, he could naturally stir up the situation more chaotically and unscrupulously, but for Saber, or Artoria, he did not want it to end so hastily.

He and Saber were bound to fight—both for him and for Kayneth.

When he was alive, Menechel died at the hands of Artoria. Even after his death, his Master died at the hands of Artoria's Master.

But for some reason, Altria was always in a passive defensive state. Both the Hammer of the Lowly King and the Liberation Noble Phantasm could easily counter Caster's huge summons.

The hit piece of flesh stretched out its tentacles again as if it had gone mad, and a layer of gloomy purple-black mist enveloped the sky above the forest.

The trees quickly withered and decayed at the mere contact with the mist. The red and black magic gathered around Menechel. Menechel released a familiar, a bird wrapped in red magic that flapped its wings and rushed into the purple mist. After circling around, it flew back safely with reptiles all over its body.

With some disgust, he detonated the familiar covered with tiny bugs, and looked at the familiar with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The suppressive power of the purple mist on servants is almost negligible.

So the target is the Master?

"Wait a minute, Lancer!"

As Menechel was twirling his spear and thinking about how to enter the arena, thunder roared past, and then Rider gathered the reins and slowly stopped beside Menechel.

Solau’s voice just rang out at this time. Perhaps because Rider arrived too quickly, Solau was still subconsciously using the causal line at this time:
