Chapter 45: The Meeting of the Two Dragons
My name is Elijah,
Kiritsugu and Shichen are fighting!

Sora is a little dissatisfied with Kenneth's arrangement to stay in the Deep Mountain Pavilion, after all, she now has her own servant, and she is also qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War, although she has not obtained the Command Spell, Luna will not disobey her, will she?
However, the fiancé, who has always been obedient to his words at the slightest ferocity, does not compromise at all this time, especially when he guesses the conditions for Luna's liberation of the Treasure.
"[Galahad, Caster said my real name is Galahad]" When Caster reached an agreement to leave, first gaining self-consciousness and then becoming the Moon Spirit Liquid of the Heroic Spirit—Luna replied to the two's inquiry: "[I'm sorry that I can't tell the Queen and Kenneth about the conditions for the emancipation of my true name. 】”
Galahad, the legendary subordinate of King Arthur and the son of the perfect knight Lancelot, was the one who eventually found the Holy Grail.
Even if the "Holy Grail" currently being fought for in Fuyuki is not the one in Arthurian legend, his identity will definitely help in the final victory.
It can be inferred from this that Berserker must be a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and as representatives of incorruptibility and nobility, only Mordred and Lancelot have crazy deeds among them, one is a patricide and the other is a betrayer, of which Lancelot is more likely.
Speaking of Phantasms, legend has it that Galahad's weapon is a cross-sword, and while it is likely to be a powerful offensive Phantasm, that level of things and the associated emancipation conditions are clearly not enough for the loyal Luna to make a decision to keep it secret.
So the conclusion is that her liberation of the Treasure's real name requires Kenneth or Sora to passively cooperate without knowing it, and if she knows the conditions, it will automatically become a cooperative fraud, and the Treasure cannot be liberated.
Combined with historical legends, it can be inferred that she wants to save the master from a "desperate situation" - this desperate situation cannot be deliberately fallen into by the rescued person or can be turned over by her own strength at any time.
According to Sora's idea, it is easy to participate in the rescue of the Einsberen camp to achieve this condition naturally, after all, Tosaka Toshitomi controls a large group of Assassins, looking for a chance to be discovered and hunted down by them, and then rescued by Luna, which not only helps the Ainz Beren camp, but also weakens the number of Tosaka Toshinoto's Assassins, and can liberate Luna's real name, killing multiple birds with one stone.
As a result, Kenneth firmly rejected the plan: "Even if Luna can't liberate her real name, I don't want you to get into that situation, this matter is not negotiable." ”
Hmph, Kenneth rarely insisted on something in front of him, and this time it was good to listen to him, Sora sat in the most heavily guarded room in the foreign pavilion, bored watching the surveillance footage of various places in the crystal ball.
"You said you wouldn't let me get into the danger, but I ended up killing myself, and the man just can't be trusted, right, Luna?" She looked at the magic projection at the entrance of the Tosaka Mansion and said to the silver girl beside her.
But then again, is Galahad a girl? This armor is bold enough even in modern times.
"[Mistress Kenneth's order has been further prioritized]" Luna replied with a wink.
When they didn't pay attention, on another crystal ball that showed the surrounding picture of the Shenshan Mansion, several figures wearing pure black masks swept by.

Emiya Kiritsugu has been following Tosaka Tokitomi for some time.
The magician, dressed in a burgundy suit and holding the staff of civilization, remained chic and calm at all times even when he walked through the woods, and from time to time he tidied up his appearance, as if he was not on the battlefield of the Holy Grail War, but was rushing to participate in some high-class banquet.
It is worthy of the Tosaka family, whose condition of unclear meaning of "always be elegant" was written into the family motto.
According to Kiritsugu's thoughts, the disciple Tosaka Toshitomi had accepted, the former Templar Church Substitute Ashute, was very dangerous, because he had no desires and worked very hard, and did not have any conventional pursuits, and as a result, such a person was qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War, which only proved that his own wishes were beyond human comprehension, and could only be realized by relying on miraculous powers.
Say, destroying the world.
And Tosaka Tokitomi, as the head of a magic family, would accept as an apprentice the son of a church member who opposed the magician, which is very suspicious in itself, even if the other party is the overseer of this Holy Grail War - no, it is even more suspicious, especially after the introduction of the "alliance victory" rule that is almost entirely in favor of Tosaka's camp.
However, those are all trivialities, if he can let Tosaka Shichen exit here, no matter what conspiracy they have behind them, they will not be able to break it, and this middle-aged man who likes to wear red suits does not look like he can dodge bullets.
Kiritsugu waited a few more moments, and when Tosaka discovered a new magic barrier node and was about to destroy it, Contender, which he had been aiming at steadily, opened fire.
This initial blow is also the strongest blow, the kinetic energy and destructive power of a single bullet are enough to penetrate even ordinary body armor, and if the opponent has some kind of ability to accelerate the casting of spells, and use this to gather the strength of the magic barrier that can resist this destructive force, the magic bullet mixed with its own "origin" will completely destroy the opponent's magic circuit like the previous thirty-seven times.
Poof! Boom!
Hit! And the other party has fallen to the ground!
Out of confidence in the origin bullet, Emiya Kiritsugu stepped out of the shadows to confirm the victory while loading the bullet, but the next moment he was shocked to see the man with the elegant mustache, Tosaka Tokitomi, looking over with a smile.
So what did he just hit-
Kiritsugu's gaze shifted downward, and on the ground was a figure dressed in black and wearing a mask, stretching out his hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to be rescued, but the whole person was slowly but resolutely turning into a reiko and disappearing.
Hit an Assassin?
Kiritsugu was annoyed and a little glad, if he had been discovered before the shot just now, he would probably have to flee in a panic again, even if he could hit Tosaka Tokitomi and be chased by the Assassin, it would be very troublesome.
Smack, smack, smack. Tosaka applauded Kiritsugu slowly and gracefully.
"Very good, I thought you were an assassin who would only use despicable means, but it turns out that you have also been trained in magic." The elegant magician looked at the Assassin, whose body had already disappeared in half, and his expression did not change: "If you are hit by that thing, you will probably become a waste like your previous target." ”
Kiritsugu didn't intend to talk back, he had nothing to say to the orthodox magicians, they trampled on the world of ordinary people at will in order to pursue the devil's path and didn't care, their three views were completely incompatible, and if there was a conflict between them, they could only -
He directly took out the light machine gun hidden in his clothes and fired at Tosaka Tokitomi, while Maiya also fired at the same time from the other direction.
After the failure of the single shot, the fire suppression was carried out from two directions, which was originally aimed at the firepower network of Yanfeng Qili or Yusheng Ryunosuke, but even they were not too sure of success, and now the attack was on the head of the Tosaka family, who could not know the depth from intelligence analysis......
Buzz Buzz......
It wasn't the sound of a hit, it wasn't the sound of being blocked by some magic shield, Kiritsugu stopped shooting and looked over to where Tosaka had been standing.
"What ......"
What appeared there was a large red translucent sphere, which was not a perfect circle, but an all-round magic defensive array composed of many crimson polygons, similar to the sphere.
The crimson polygons, on the other hand, are made up of groups of five, six, or thirteen tiny ruby shards floating in mid-air, which are connected and arranged by activating the magic contained within them, and the strange sound produced by Kiritsugu and Maiya after firing machine guns is the result of the bullets melting in an instant after hitting the defensive array.
Conventional firearms won't be useful, and Kiritsugu immediately understands the fact that even if he attacks with Origin Bullets, he may not be able to destroy the opponent's magic circuit through this defensive magic array.
Because this defensive array is not a whole, even if one corner of it is broken by "severing" and "connecting", it will affect the magician himself to a very small extent, not to mention that they may not be maintained by Tosaka Toshitomi himself at all, but are stimulated and maintained by the Infusion Gem.
The means that he was proud of were so easily cracked, and even the well-informed Kiritsugu didn't know what to do for a while.
Gem Magic really has the qualifications to support a family with only royalties,
"Magicians already possess 'power' when they are born, and the accumulation and research of generations are all aimed at gaining greater 'power'," Tosaka Tokitomi leaned slightly gracefully, "Although I don't know why you gave up this power and used those dirty methods, I will still abide by the etiquette of the orthodox demon path and use the most powerful magic to destroy you head-on." ”
That's some kind of strange etiquette.
After seeing that Maiya Kuyu had retreated immediately after failing to hit according to the pre-plan, he threw away the machine gun in his hand, re-picked up the Contender, which had been replaced with the origin bullet, and decided to start a formal magician battle.
Since long-range attacks are useless, how about putting the muzzle of the gun directly on his head?
"Roar, O Flame Dragon!"
Tokitomi spun his cane, and the massive ruby on it spewed out a surging flame at Kiritsugu, and soon after it broke away from the staff, it spontaneously formed a raging dragon of flames, baring its teeth and claws to pounce on the magician killer on the opposite side.
The next moment, the flame dragon that had lost its target turned around and chased after Kiritsugu, and a new flame dragon poured out of Shichen's ruby staff again.
"[Inherent Time Domination: Double Speed]!"
Under the combined attack of the two dragons, Kiritsugu, who had no way to escape, pierced through the gap at a speed far beyond ordinary people, and fired a shot at Shi Chen, of course, he was blocked by the defensive array again and returned in vain.
The flame double dragon that moved with the master's heart, and the magician killer whose speed far exceeded the limit of ordinary people, launched a fierce attack and defense in the forest, although the magic attributes of each other are completely different, but the two magicians have already understood each other's methods.
As long as you hit before the opponent, the battle is over.
Both sides of the duel thought so.
