"Here we are."

The heavy snow surface is imprinted with a series of footprints.

Walking through the forest, a large clearing appeared in front of the two of them.

There is not a single snowflake falling here, as if there is an invisible force that isolates it from the outside world.

Looking at the unfrozen soil, the look of nostalgia in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes flashed: "This is the destination." ”

"Daddy, where is that castle you were talking about......"

Seeing the middle-aged man stop, the young man who followed closely behind him also stopped.

After looking around for a while, he couldn't help but ask his adoptive father, "Why didn't I see anything?" ”

"Shirou, your cultivation time is still short, and you are good at fighting, so it's normal that you can't see anything abnormal."

Pointing in front of him, Emiya Kiritsugu spat out a circle of smoke and said in a flat tone: "Since ancient times, most magicians with a heritage have regarded themselves very highly, and regarded ordinary people as uncommunicative, and the Einz Belen family has lived a life of isolation for a long time with the protection of the enchantment. If you don't know enough about this type of magic, you won't be able to find the clue even if you are close to it. ”

"I've just tried, and in the years I've been away, they've changed the key......"

The middle-aged man put his hand back in his pocket: "Even I can't open the way to the castle now." ”

"Daddy, isn't this situation terrible!"

Hearing his words, Emiya Shirou was a little worried: "What should we do?" ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, don't worry about it......"

Emiya Kiritsugu said expressionlessly, "Anyway, I don't expect to achieve my goal through peaceful means. ”

It's been two days since the two left Japan. After arriving in Berlin on a China Eastern Airlines plane, Emiya Kiritsugu took Emiya Shirou for hundreds of miles, and finally walked for a long time before he found this forest.

This is not a simple matter, as early as ten years ago, the head of the Einzberen family, who believed that he had been 'betrayed', closed the 'road' to the castle and refused to reunite with his daughter. At that time, Emiya Kiritsugu was cursed by 'all the evils in this world', and he had no ability to break the barrier, so he forced his sick body to search in the wind and snow for several days, but he had to give up and return to Fuyuki City alone. This time he returned, and he spent a lot of effort to determine the location of the new entrance, and if it wasn't for the improvement of his magic ability, he might not be able to do it.

"Move in front of you, Shirou!"

The middle-aged man casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

He looked at this blank area and said in a low voice: "It is useless to deal with the dead brains who are blinded by the glory of the past. Only by tearing off their fig leaf and making them understand how worthless the glory of the so-called magic family is, under absolute power, will these people choose to sit down and have a good talk with you. ”

"Okay."

Emiya Shirou nodded and agreed: "Dad, you wait a minute." ”

After picking up the cigarette butts on the ground and putting them in the garbage bag he carried with him, the boy stretched out his right hand to the front.

“Trace on！ (Projection, Start)"

This time, what appeared in his hand was not the righteous 'heroic sword', but a katana with many missing edges. However, in the next instant, the long sword, which looked tattered and decayed, and was not at all a divine weapon, manifested in the wind, turning into a huge toothed sword with white hairy jaws.

And this amazing change is not over yet......

Its blades are spreading red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This weapon comes from a demon-infested Sengoku world, and its name is "Inuyasha".

It is one of the 'three swords of the world's domineering', representing the iron broken teeth of the sword of 'people'! The crimson blade is a special form born after absorbing the demonic power of the secret treasure of the Hundred Ghost Bat Clan's 'Blood Jade Coral', and its ability is to break through the enchantment. Like the 'Hero Sword', the reason why Emiya Shirou was able to project this demon sword was due to the 'Phantom' transmission of his reincarnation memory. The adventures of various fantasy worlds, to the chaffles, gave the teenager a lot of inspiration.

At this time, the young man held the red demon knife in his hand, and he did not speak, and he was free and awe-inspiring.

Whoa......

Under the influence of this scattered sharp will, in the forest, a flock of birds flew in shock.

Boom!

As soon as the long knife was slashed out, there was a sound of shattering.

A touch of red brilliance exploded in front of Emiya Shirou, turning into an arc and falling.

However......

The Red Blade stands still in mid-air!

- This blow, blocked?

Seeing this, the young man couldn't help frowning slightly.

However, Emiya Shirou's expression quickly softened.

I saw that where his blade stopped, it began to ripple like water waves.

As the ripples spread, a castle made of huge rocks loomed over the open land.

"O betrayer who destroyed our family's long-cherished wish for a hundred years, I have already spared you once......"

In the castle, an old voice came out, engulfed with anger: "You dare to come back? ”

"Nonsense is useless! Jubstakuhaid von Einzberen, give me back my daughter. ”

Hearing this voice, the expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face became even colder: "You didn't kill me at the beginning, you just used the enchantment to isolate me from the castle, but you were afraid of the remaining 'Origin Bullets'. Now that I have been freed from the curse of 'all the evils of this world', if you dare to refuse my request, we will smash your workshop today. ”

"Hmph, what gave you courage? In my magic position, I dare not be ashamed. ”

Finally, the gates of the castle opened, and an old man in a white robe and white hair walked out.

He held a short staff in his hand, and his eyes were very gloomy: "Come on, let's see if you are the first to destroy, or we will wait." ”

"The magic barrier set up by my 'Einzberen' house is not so easy to break!"

Whoa......

At this moment, only a crisp sound was heard, and the 'indestructible' barrier between the two was shattered!

The sound of the magic chain collapsing is very pleasant, like the melodious sound of the piano.

Emiya Shirou stood still in place with the red-bladed iron broken teeth in his hand.

As the saying goes, if you can't do it once, then do it again!

It was he who used the demon knife in his hand to slash a second ago, directly breaking the seemingly strong enchantment in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Ahad, who was the head of the Einzberen family, fell silent.

"What did you just say?"

Emiya Kiritsugu sneered and asked the old man in front of him, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?" ”

“…… It's just enchantment magic, and it's not our strong point. ”

In the face of the middle-aged man's sarcasm, the old man waved his hand back, and his face was still indifferent: "If you think that this is the most powerful part of the Einzberen family, you are very wrong. ”

"Come out! Guardians of the House of Einzberen. ”

Before the words fell, a group of women wearing maid costumes, white hair and red eyes stepped out of the castle.

They stared at Emiya Kiritsugu and Shirou menacingly, both holding special axes and guns 'Balhad' in their hands.

This exaggerated weapon weighed up to 150 kilograms. It is cast with 'rhenium' alloy, and its strength is higher than that of tungsten alloy. Rhenium is a rare metal that is three times denser than iron and heavier than lead and gold, and can only be used by artificial people with extraordinary arm strength. Considering the possibility that it would confront the Servant Treasure, the House of Einzberen has added various enhanced magical properties to Balhad. Compared to sharpness, it focuses more on indestructible toughness, which can be said to be the 'armor' that can attack.

"Oh, the combat power is very good......

Looking at these battle maids, Emiya Kiritsugu unhurriedly pushed the characteristic black-rimmed glasses.

I saw a series of data flash in front of his eyes: "Compared with what I have seen in the past, their physical fitness and magic literacy have improved a lot, and it seems that in the ten years since I left, your skills have not been without progress." ”

"It's a pity, it's still useless......"

Emiya Kiritsui didn't look back, and continued: "Shirou, start lightly, don't hurt too much." They may know your sister, but if they go too far, I won't be able to explain it to Illya. ”

"I see."

Emiya Shirou nodded, and the iron teeth in his hand suddenly turned into countless golden particles and disappeared.

"The next movement may be a bit big, Dad, pay attention."

I saw that the black trench coat worn by the young man quickly dissolved, forming a set of combat armor that wrapped his whole body.

One meter ......

Two meters ......

Three-meter ......

A long blade suddenly appeared in his hand, a full forty meters long.

- Inherent Time Imperial System, activated!

With the power of the 'original timepiece' flowing, Emiya Shirou's movements turned into an afterimage.

In Ahad's view, all this is just a flash in the eye, and it ends without even seeing anything clearly.

When he looked at the boy again, the sword in his hand had disappeared without a trace.

Emiya Shirou stood where he had stood, his body steady, as if he had never moved.

However, just behind the old man, the huge castle was slowly leaning and collapsing......

Looking at the bottomless crack in front of him, which kept all the androids in place, the old man fell silent again.

"I'll ask one last ......"

There was no expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face, but against the backdrop of the castle that had been reduced to ruins, the dead man's face seemed to have a terrifying murderous aura - although it was the hand of Emiya Shirou, but in the eyes of the people of the Einz Belen family, Emiya Kiritsugu was the master of the 'biological weapon' that was comparable to a servant behind him.

"Illya...... Where is she? ”

“…… So, for this kind of thing, you destroyed the fortress of the Einzberen family's heritage? ”

The expression on Ahad's face was like crying and laughing.

"Daddy's patience is limited, stop talking nonsense, answer quickly!"

Emiya Shirou also said to Kiritsugu, "I confirmed before I cut open the castle that there are no other creatures in this place at all. Where the hell did you hide my sister? ”

"Hehehe...... Just for this kind of thing......"

Ahad hung his head, and his tone became more and more eerie, making it seem like he was going crazy.

Suddenly, the old man raised his head, his face full of grievance and resentment, and stared at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Illya...... Your daughter ......"

He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "...... She's not here at all! ”

Looking at Ahad, three words suddenly flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's glasses.

YES！ YES！ YES！

- The other party is not lying.

Seeing this, he frowned slightly: "Then where is she?" ”

Bell bell bell ......

Just as Ahad was about to answer, the middle-aged man's satellite phone rang.

"Wait a minute."

Emiya Kiritsugu gestured a 'stop' motion, then brought the phone to his ear and pressed the answer button.

"What's wrong, Maiya?"

"Kiritsugu...... You're looking for Illya in Germany. Right? ”

Unlike usual, at this time, her voice was no longer so cold, but with a kind of impatience.

“…… What happened? ”

Listening to this voice, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned slightly.

Only when something big happens, will Kuyu Maiya show such a move that is no longer the usual.

"Listen carefully to me, Kiritsugu...... I know it's hard to accept. ”

Maiya's tone was also very unstable, as if she was being put around her neck by something, "But, I have to tell you......"

"Illya...... She's in our house right now! ”

"She's coming for you...... She didn't believe me and insisted that I give you a call. ”

"Uh......"

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu's hand trembled.

He turned around and looked at the extremely aggrieved old man Ahad, and after looking at the castle of Einzberen, which was already in ruins, the middle-aged man's dead face finally couldn't be maintained.

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly thought of something.

Before getting on the plane, he had seen a commotion in the departure hall with Shirou Emiya......

INTERVIEWER At that time, it seemed that I should have gone over and had a look?

(PS: Special thanks to the 'red sauce' that also helped me revise the plot, the FATE volume is our common achievement, half of him, half of me.) ）
