Chapter Twenty-Eight: Escape

The Holy Grail is the "Holy Grail". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

To a realist like Kiritsugu, the word "sacred" means nothing, and he doesn't care about its creator, its history, or what kind of holy relic it is for the paladins or the cup that Jesus used to hold wine at the Last Supper. The only value of the "Holy Grail" is the almighty Wish Machine—and now it doesn't even have the value of a Wish Machine, but something that must be destroyed.

Even so, as the closest Kiritsugu to the Holy Grail, even if he was a true "apostated" magician, there was a moment when he was distracted by the amazing magical power and solemn presence of the Holy Grail.

It is truly a miracle cup that turns "all the impossible into possible".

Because of this, Emiya Kiritsugu is now very sure that the long-haired black girl who looks about the same age as Illya in front of him is the little grail (Symnol). Because she now exudes amazing magical power, it even gives people the illusion that the magic circuits of the whole body are aroused.

According to the information integrated by the eavesdropping device installed by Kiritsugu in this castle, she is in a state of connecting to the Great Chalice (SaintGraph) hidden in the Yanagito Temple due to Angelica's use of the "Heroic Spirit". At this time, her body had almost transformed into a true "Holy Grail Body", the same existence as the legendary pure dragon species that could generate infinite magical power just by breathing.

It's just that she's - not a Homecruise (android).

This unexpected fact made Kiritsu hesitate for a moment.

“…… Be...... Who......? ”

At the point where Kiritsugu Contender's gun was pointed, Miyu lifted her tear-soaked face from the stimulation of the pain, desperately repeating her intense breaths to get more oxygen. Kiritsugu's surprise attack caused Miyu's magic circuit, which had just calmed down, to be swept away by a torrent of pain again, and the huge magical power of the Holy Grail produced a sharp pain in her body, and she couldn't even speak.

The only moonlight in the room illuminated the side of Kiritsugu's face, his gray face and black coat, and if you ignore the gun in Kiritsugu's hand, he looks like a ghost from a ghost story.

Kiritsugu was once a warrior who fearlessly threw himself into countless hellish battlefields and earned the title of "Magician Killer", which made many magicians tremble, just to save one more person. Until now, he will still be enthusiastic about saving one more life, even if it is one more person.

In the process, there are some people who did not live long after being rescued by him, and they have no will and spirit to survive at all, just like Maiya who had just been rescued from the hands of those warlords.

Kiritsugu knew very well, he could see it, and he could see what kind of person the girl in front of him was. Miyu's eyes filled with nothing but empty darkness when she looked at him, the eyes of the walking dead.

Just one more human sacrifice...... Kiritsugu restrained himself and calmly aimed Contender's gun at Miyu. Yes, she would have died anyway, the difference was only that she had gone from killing an android created by Einzberen to a human.

Miyu didn't do any defensive magic, and with the power of the bullets fired by the Contender, at this distance, Kiritsugu could make Miyu's body look like it had been scooped up by a spoon.

……!?

Just as Kiritsugu was about to pull the trigger, his chest suddenly throbbed strongly, and repeated and strong vibrations appeared in Kiritsugu's magic circuit, and a huge magical aura was approaching.

Outside the castle, Berserker moved, and the black giant smashed through the stone walls of the room reinforced by Darius' magic barrier with just a jump of his body. It didn't take a few seconds for Kiritsugu to enter the room, whether it was because the enchantment in the room was destroyed or because Angelica had awakened after discovering the demon downstairs.

Faced with the other party who reacted so quickly, Kiritsugu had to smack his tongue.

Before Berserker could completely smash through the wall, Kiritsugu moved without hesitation, and the Contender in his right hand let out a roar, and the Origin Bullet flew out of the air. And the other hand suddenly reached into the clothes, as if to take out some other weapon.

Berserker seemed to be blind to Kiritsugu, and stopped the black greatsword between the origin bullet and Miyu with a speed that Kiritsugu couldn't see the movement, and the bullet bounced off after just touching the stone sword, and the uselessness of the bullet against Servant had been confirmed in the confrontation with Angelica just now.

Next, it takes less than a second for Berserker to beat the kiritsu into a meat sauce. Gritting her teeth, Angelica's voice rang out from beneath the castle through the walls that had been pierced by Berserker.

However, a choking white smoke suddenly billows up, and it seems that Kiritsugu has pressed a switch. Not only this room, but the entire castle, including the large forest outside, was covered with blindfolded smoke.

"This guy ......!"

Berserker does not have the same excellent perception as other heroic spirits, and the black giant is cautious in front of Miyu. AND JUST AS ANGELICA WAS ABOUT TO USE THE TREASURE TO DESTROY THE FOREST, A SERIES OF GUNSHOTS RANG OUT, AND 9MM BULLETS GRAZED HER BODY AND LANDED ON THE STONE WALL. It was Kiritsugu's attack, and he probably had a heat source mirror with him.

"Damn!"

Angelica had once again taken out her shield from the King's Treasure, and now she was outside the empty castle, and Kiritsugu knew her location, but she didn't know where Kiritsugu was. This forced her to be trapped, like a tiger whose strength is above that of a human being trapped in an iron cage.

Until the smoke was swept away by the wind, she could no longer see Kiritsugu.

At this point, Kiritsugu decisively gave up the fight, for him, self-esteem was something to feed the dogs, and since he couldn't kill Miyu, he had no reason to continue fighting them.

The pursuit was impossible, and just now Angelica confirmed Kiritsugu's ability to hide and erase traces, and it was impossible to find him without sceiving.

“…… Hum. ”

After snorting coldly, he suppressed his anger slightly. Angelica wordlessly relieved herself of the state of "Heroic Spirit", which would put a lot of load on Miyu, and Darius told her to use it only when she was fighting.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu's attack made a mess of the castle, fortunately Kiritsugu also returned in vain, neither Miyu nor Darius were injured, and as for Angelica herself, the injuries were not serious.

Despite this, Angelica's mind was filled with resentment towards Kiritsugu. Suddenly, Darius's voice came straight into her head.

“…… Angelica. ”

"Lord Darius, what's the matter?"

“…… That guy...... Unexpectedly...... Fled. ”

Angelica was stunned, she now realized the worst consequences of Kiritsugu's invasion.

"Impossible ......"

She muttered something like ** from her throat and asked, "...... You mean, Ziggy escaped from the castle just now? ”
