Chapter 203: The Essence of a Magician

The Shroud of Eden, measured by the worldview of the moon, can indeed be counted as the Sacred Cloth of the Lord, after all, the "Lord" did use him.

However, the Shroud of Eden's true name in the Moon world is not the Cloth of Jesus, but is given an older name.

Golden Fleece

Class: B

To the human treasure

Rare treasures in ancient Greek mythology, regarded as a symbol of wealth since ancient times, are said to be sublimated to bring the holder an unyielding will to adventure and a strong body that will never decay, and automatically give the holder an A+ level of golden rule.

Real name Liberation: Kolchis (Kolchis)

Phantasm immunity to all mind-control Phantasms/skills during the liberation time, granting the wielder an immortal body that can be instantly healed by overdrawing physical strength, no matter how serious the injury is.

Note: Cursed weapons with a higher level of mystery negate the Golden Fleece's healing effects.

Lu Xiao held the original text of the Holy Cloth, the Golden Fleece, but even if he stopped fighting and explained to Marda, the preconceived Iron Fist Saintess would definitely not believe it easily.

The fist full of holy power rained down on Lu Xiao, and Lu Xiao, whose body had not yet fully recovered, could only rely on the complex terrain he deliberately chose to dodge Marda's attack with the help of obstacles in a small area.

"Bang!"

While Lu Xiao was silently waiting for the completion of the Golden Fleece's passive healing, an abrupt gunfire suddenly sounded in the distance outside the ruins of the hotel.

Emiya Kiritsugu made a move.

He specifically ordered Lancer not to join the siege of the Assassin immediately, and to stay where he was for the time being, pending the next order.

Compared to the sword rank Artoria, who still has some naïve thoughts, the more mature Holy Spear King Arthur and Kiritsugu have a higher phase.

She would not resist the Master's orders because of her personal ideals, and Kiritsugu's cold attitude did not take the more detached Artoria to heart.

As long as the end result is as expected, she can focus on the present moment and put aside the slightest differences of opinion with the Master.

Although they have only been together for a short time, the adult version of King Arthur can see the burning heart hidden under the cold exterior of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Her master is not simply a magician killer and a battlefield revenant, but has a righteous concept that he believes in, even if he has blood on his hands.

The previous destruction of the magic workshop of the Saber group proved that Kiritsugu has a good ability to formulate tactics, and since the goal is the same, Artoria does not mind following his instructions for the time being.

"Bang!"

The large-caliber rifle bullet fired from the barrel of the modified WA2000 spun rapidly in mid-air, rapidly approaching Tosaka Tokitomi who was standing in the middle of the road with an elegant posture.

In the face of the sudden attack, Tosaka Toshitomi only raised his eyelids slightly, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and calmly looked at the bullet that was about to hit him.

"Bell!"

A small golden round shield suddenly appeared on Tosaka's side, blocking Kiritsugu's sniping.

"What?!"

When he saw Tosaka Tokitomi's calm attitude through the high magnification mirror, Kiritsugu had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the sudden appearance of a shield-shaped artifact blocked his attack.

"Heh~ Magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu."

Tosaka Tokitomi used his magic-enhanced vision to look contemptuously at the gloomy face of Emiya Kiritsugu on the roof of the building, with a smile on his face.

"Now that I've already investigated your despicable fighting methods that deviate from the Demon Path, do you think I'll be unprepared for this?"

"Tuk!"

The ruby scepter tapped lightly on the ground, and Archer, who had been watching the play outside the ruins of the hotel, received a signal.

"Hmph~ A mere wild dog actually dares to attack the king's courtiers, so bold."

Although Gilgamesh was a little unhappy with Shichen's previous offense by using the Spell, he was not yet to the point where he had to tear his face with him.

Three golden ripples appeared on Archer's head, and when he saw this, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately abandoned his position on the roof and fled to the lower floors.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The three Phantasms completely flattened the sniper point that Kiritsugu had previously chosen, and the resulting aftermath of the shock sent Kiritsugu flying to the wall as he was evacuating.

"Ugh!"

Resisting the pain from all over his body, Emiya Kiritsugu turns on the family magic before the second wave of treasures arrives.

"Inherent time control, double speed!"

"Oh?"

Archer watched as Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly distorted time and accelerated to evacuate, with an interested smile on his face.

"Do you control the time in your body, I didn't expect modern mongrels to perform some interesting tricks, so let's spare your life."

The magic of the Emiya family is able to manipulate the flow of time within a certain range, and the "relative" time confined to one's own body is obviously easier to control than the absolute time of the outside world.

Innate time control is to form a miniature intrinsic barrier in one's own body, and use magic to speed up or slow down the local time flow in one's body, so as to achieve the effect of controlling time in disguise.

However, the relative time in the manipulation body will inevitably be countered by absolute time after the spell effect ends, and the longer it is turned on, the heavier the burden on the body.

Letting go of the fleeing Emiya Kiritsugu, Archer turned his gaze back downstairs, Lancer's slightly nonchalant gaze staring directly at him from afar.

"Hmph~ the loyal dog of the guardian."

The King's Treasury opens again, and the battle between Lancer and Archer begins.

……

"Tsk!"

Seeing the chaotic battle situation upstairs and downstairs, Marda smacked her lips in displeasure: "I guessed that this group of magicians with their own calculations would not cooperate sincerely, but I didn't expect them to start infighting before the end of the joint operation. ”

Marda didn't expect it, but Lu Xiao thought of it.

Magicians are a bunch of selfish creatures who put their own interests first in all their actions.

Unless there is a common interest, there is no idea of cooperation in the magician's mind.

Marda and the Templar Church's practice of issuing rewards is in line with the universal rule that whoever is able to do so will receive the ultimate reward, and there is inevitably the idea of the Templar church provoking the Templars to compete with each other.

But after all, they still underestimated the nature of magicians, and in the end only one person got the reward, and what the magicians wanted to do was not to rush to be cannon fodder first, but to find ways to solve other competitors first.

Even Kenneth, who was the most obedient to the outside world, secretly had his own plans, and he did send Saber to assist Marda, but after completing the crowd dispersal, he found Emiya Kiritsugu's hiding place in advance through the automatic tracking ability of the Moon Spirit Marrow.

When Kiritsugu failed to snipe, he stepped into the building, using his powerful magic costume to start chasing down the enemy who had made a fool of himself, and the two sides quietly fought in the empty business building at night.

“Fervor, mei sanguis!”

Kenneth activated all the abilities of the Moon Spirit Essence and captured the figure of Emiya Kiritsugu, who was not in good shape, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Magician of Einzbellen, there is a saying in the East that you should not be rude, and you should also accept my 'return gift'."

“Scalp! (Chop)"

Having just recovered from the side effects of the Inherent Temporal Restraint, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't expect to collide with Kenneth.

'Damn! ’

"Inherent time control, triple speed!"

Relying on the threefold increase in his body's relative speed, Emiya Kiritsugu bent down to dodge the slash of the Moon Spirit Marrow and circled behind Kenneth before the duration of the magic wore off.

The Carliko M950A submachine gun, the main weapon, aimed at Kenneth's exposed back, was a shuttle bullet.

"Da Da Da!"

"Time magic? Hmph~ useless attempt. ”

The automatic defense function of the Moon Spirit Liquid blocks all small-caliber submachine gun bullets.

The battle-experienced Emiya Kiritsugu endured the pain of time backlash, the blue tendons on his forehead bulged, barely controlled his hands from trembling, and took out his hidden killer weapon - "Contender" as quickly as possible.

The competitor was originally a single-shot pistol used for competition and hunting, and could be loaded with a wide range of bullets, up to a 7.62 mm sniper rifle, with incredible close-range lethality.

The shortcomings of the competitor are also very obvious, the reload is only one round, and the gun cannot be automatically unloaded after shooting, which is more cumbersome to operate.

Kiritsugu preloaded a 7.62mm sniper rifle round from his competitor before starting his move, and when Kenneth turned around with a confident smile to take his head, the large-caliber pistol in Kiritsugu's hand let out a loud roar.

"Bang!"
