Chapter 81: The Death of the Spearman
My name is Alayah,
…… This is my pot.

"I see, that's all he had planned."
On the edge of Fuyuki's old town, there is a half-deserted ranger's hut, and Emiya Kiritsugu is standing on a watchtower looking out over the mountains, and a huge ice mirror is faintly visible.
"Mmmm......mm Alter was busy eating, ignoring Kiritsugu's analysis, and when she converged, she claimed that she needed to replenish her mana due to excessive use of the Noble Phantasm, and she had always been like this, completely ignoring the surging mana fluctuations in Kiritsugu's magic circuit—in fact, Kiritsugu had only paid for the mana to maintain her present since she was summoned.
It's amazing that this ranger's hut, which is only used for one quarter a year and has no house number or street name at all, can be found by fried chicken and burger takeaways.
"That'...... What exactly is the plan? In the end, it was Kuyu Maiya who couldn't stand it and took the initiative to ask.
"The original plan was because he found a way to re-appear the Assassin, and was going to invade the mansion and take away the Assassin he called Emile when they caused chaos, even if he accidentally encountered Archer on the way, it only lured Rider away, and the plan itself was not modified much."
Kiritsugu pointed in the direction of the Western-style building, and his tone was detached from seeing through everything.
"Then why was it modified?" Maiya didn't see it in the next scene, she left the lookout post because she was discovered by the assassin, and Kiritsugu had already returned when she re-summoned the demon to investigate.
"Because there is an obvious flaw in that way of reproducing," Kiritsugu frowned, remembering the Assassin who was holding his leg and exuding extremely dangerous magic fluctuations throughout, and if it wasn't for Caster's rescue, he would have been seriously injured at least, "They will blow themselves up before they are destroyed, and they can also trigger it actively." ”
"But it didn't help save Amir."
"That's right, if that's all, it's just a number of attack methods, but after they blow themselves up, they will leave a lot of magic power behind, Yan Feng Qili changed the plan to use Kenneth's defensive enchantment to overflow the spiritual veins, artificially creating a magic tide, under that magic wave, it is almost impossible for anyone to survive except for the servants."
Kiritsugu glanced at the black-robed female swordsman below, "He even borrowed Saber's power. ”
"So what's the situation now? After Rider rushed down, there was nothing left in the house and its vicinity? Maiya switched the perspectives of several demons one after another, and found nothing except for the Golden Radiance Boat that was leaving, and the vicinity of the Western-style Pavilion was empty, but as long as the Detective Demon approached those ice mirrors, the magic connection would disappear directly.
"Qili is already a 'general', just see how Kenneth is hiding in the inherent barrier and how they will respond," Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the golden boat, "Unlike in the intelligence, he has found his wish and has become more dangerous. ”
At least I have to worry about Lin Hao and Caster's opinions, can't I do too much......
"Wait a little longer and retreat, Tosaka Tokitomi's next target may be us."

Inherent enchantment, the magic that rewrites reality with the caster's "mental landscape" and is closest to "magic".
Its form cannot be changed on its own, as the image reflected within the inherent barrier is the true inner landscape, or "origin", of the caster.
For example, Iskander's "King's Army" was built by himself and all the soldiers under his command, because his heart was full of battle, and there was nothing but conquest, and the scene of the inherent barrier was naturally a vast desert.
If you change to a person who is thoughtful and complex, wise and close to demons, his inherent enchantment will probably be a huge palace with countless rooms, each of which holds a huge amount of trivial information waiting to be retrieved when needed.
The existence of the inherent barrier violates the laws of the world, and even the most powerful magician can only last for a few minutes, but during this time, the caster of the barrier almost has his wish come true.
"Provoke ...... Run! ”
"Huh? Can you speak, Amir? Sora was surprised to hear Amir speak suddenly, and leaned over to touch her head.
"Branch...... Kill me! Emile seemed to be bound by something and completely unable to move, and although there was still no expression on his face, anxiety and fear could be heard in just a few words.
"What? Who's going to kill you? Sora was furious and raised her hand to the besieged Assassins, "Are they?" Rider, destroy them now! ”
"Huh?" "Oops, I can't help it—do it."
Webber watched in amazement as his Servant listened to Sora's instructions, and the Assassins, who were originally at the end of the crossbow, were no match for the Macedonian soldiers, and were slashed and turned into golden points of light.
[Commanded by the Commanding Spell, Amir infuses himself with the power of all seventy-two other ordinary avatars]
As the sound of Qili resounded throughout the desert, the light that escaped after the Assassins were slain suddenly merged into Emir's body like a sea, and then two ominous red lights lit up on the kitten mask she wore on her forehead.
[Again-]
"Hah! , how can you be allowed to order casually? Iskandar raised his short sword towards the sky: "Get out!" ”
【…… Spell ...... Command ......] Qili's voice became choppy.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The mighty warriors of the king's army roared mightily in support of their king,
[-Command Amir to create an assassination-type Noble Phantasm that can be used!] 】
As a result, the rest of the mantra was suddenly read at a very high speed.
"Don't waste your efforts, since it can break through your inherent barrier and give orders to Amir, it means that your barrier does not reject coercion and assassination, and no matter how much you stop it, it can only delay time, so it's better to see what the other party wants to do to respond." Kenneth slowly backed away from Sora behind him.
"Ah, that seems to be the case...... Rider touched the back of his head, directing the soldiers to protect the three Lords and surround Amir.
Squeak squeak - click - knock!
The Assassin in her little girl form ignored the Soldier, pulling out a round, black object out of thin air and throwing it on the ground, which then deformed and reassembled itself, eventually turning into a giant crossbow attached to a shelf.
"Caster, what the hell is that...... Belch? Although it was certain from the magic fluctuations that it was a treasure, Webber could not recognize what it was, and when he turned to ask the seemingly well-informed Winter Maiden, he found an expression on her face that she had thought was impossible—dumbfounded.
"That's it...... That's it...... Zhuge Repeater, yes, Zhuge Repeater. Caster sensed that Weber was asking, so he replied somewhat absent-mindedly, "As the most famous bow and arrow, it is not unusual for it to be a treasure, and since it is made in batches, there is no restriction on the user, anyone can use it, well, that's it." ”
"I always feel that something is wrong...... although Weber is still a little puzzled, but the next command has already appeared.
[The third time with the Command Spell, Emile uses the Noble Phantasm to kill Kenneth Elmeloy Achpolud.] 】
At the same time as the command sounded, Emile involuntarily took a step towards Zhuge Repeater, and Lancer immediately stood in front of Kenneth.
But amazingly, the little girl withdrew her hand with difficulty when she was about to touch the grip of the crossbow, and the people who were watching her movements saw a vision at the same time.
- Kenneth is directing a group of alchemists to decorate the room, and although there is no sound, it is clear from his constant instructions and the orders of the demons to smooth the edges and corners of the furniture, lay soft carpets on the floor, and put crash pads on the walls.
“NO。” Emile said.
Just as Kenneth was relieved to say something, another spell appeared.
[For the fourth time, with the Command Spell, Amir uses the Noble Phantasm to kill Sola Nazele Sofiari. 】
"What! Why more than three?! Webb shouted in surprise.
"Hmph, just look at the actions of those Assassins before, that's not something they can do on their own - Lancer, to protect the Queen!" Kenneth patted Lancer on the shoulder who was standing in front of him.
“NO。” Before Lancer could make a move, Emir had already rejected the spell first, and then the same illusion appeared.
- Sora is comparing a room full of beautiful children's clothes to Emile, although the assassin outfit can't be changed, but wearing an apron, a hat, and a satchel is no problem at all, and every time she makes a new look for Amir, Sora laughs, completely lacking her usual queen style.
"Huh...... Sora, you like children so much—" Kenneth was shot in the face with a fireball in his face and fell on his back.
[For the fifth time with the Command Spell, Emile uses the Noble Phantasm to kill Webb Velvett.] 】
"Click." Emile pressed the grip of the repeater, and the arrow turned to aim at Webb.
"Wow! Wait, I'm taking care of you, Amile. Webb exclaimed.
- In the hallucination, Webber was gesturing with a magic ball in his hand and gesturing at Emile, who was looking at him with an expressionless face, and finally he deliberately missed the magic ball and walked away with a sigh.
“…… NO。 Amir fired the arrow with a thud, and it missed.
"Little, Web, Uncle~ What did you do to Amir while we weren't there-" Solamor walked over with a fist.
As a result, although Emir rejected all the spells, two of the targets were damaged.
"Rider, don't look at the jokes, control those spells, in your inherent enchantment, if you can't destroy them, at least you have no problem weakening them," Caster sighed and walked over and began to build an ice shield around Amir, and the target range did not include Caster's Assassin did not respond: "After all, this is also the reason why your enchantment allows Emile to understand the Command Spell, and she is immune to this thing in the outside world." ”
"There's no way around it," Rider said, "After all, there are many warriors here who follow me even if they're disabled, and deafness is just the most common one." ”
————
Then, as the spells stacked, Rider and Caster's expressions became serious, as the magic of the spells began to wrap around the little girl's body in an attempt to interfere with her actions, and Emir had to resist the control with his will, but also tried his best to stop his movements, and this effort was gradually becoming invalid as the spells were stacked.
[Twentieth Command, Command, Amir Returns to Me as Soon as He Kills Any Target]
Bang! The mechanical repeater collapsed on its own with the spell, but Kenneth's apprentice, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard Emile's voice again.
"Kill me......" The kitten-masked eyes on the girl's forehead suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.
"[No return, poor Jiuquan-]" Emile suddenly said a complete sentence, but his voice became extremely ethereal, as if this world did not exist.
Webb noticed that Caster was suddenly startled and began to desperately reinforce the ice wall in front of the little girl.
Click, click, click. An ice-blue heavy crossbow appeared in Emile's hand, and she wound it with a hollow look in her eyes, and the energy around her even pushed Caster to the side, Webb looked at the three sharp arrows side by side, and had a bad premonition.
"Hey! Rider helps! That's a blow of twenty spells! ”
Caster strengthened the ice wall again, turned around and jumped in front of Kenneth's master and apprentice, and unfurled an arc of ice shields in front of him.
"Uh......-huh" Rider landed in front of Webb with a grim look in his eyes as Lancer and Luna rushed to their Master's side.
"[Phoenix Tail Heavenly Machine: Chasing Arrow! ] 】”
Three rays of cyan light that seemed to pierce through everything, as dazzling as the sun, shot straight towards the three masters.
Bite! Ding-poof! Poof!
"Mr. Kenneth? Mrs. Sola? Recovering from a temporary blindness, Webb hastily confirmed Kenneth and Sora's condition.
"Little Webb, I'm fine." "I ...... too Oh hell. ”
The three bolts had completely pierced through the ice wall and shield, and Rider missed one, his arm still shaking.
Luna's Phantasm shield is completely pierced, but she uses her body to catch the arrow.
Lancer, on the other hand, was shot in the heart when he tried to undo the mana enhancement from the crossbow with the Broken Red Rose, but since it was where the Immortal's core was, it didn't completely penetrate his body, and the tip of the arrow leaked backwards was only a few inches away from Kenneth.
Webb, in shock, seemed to hear Caster whisper something,
【The world】?
