Chapter 132: The Highest Realm of Loving and Killing Each Other (II)
"Kill him! berserkerοΌ Illya mercilessly commanded the giant in front of her to swing the sword, and the heroic spirit on the opposite side was already at the end of the crossbow, and she had ten thousand reasons to believe that the other party would never be able to take this blow, so this is the ...... The outcome of this battle was already sealed.
"Roar!!" The giant whose body is far beyond ordinary people raised the weapon in his hand high, obviously such a huge body, but at the same time he has extraordinary agility, should he be said to be a legendary hero, even if he loses his mind, only the instinctive reaction of the body, is still not weaker than those warriors at the peak of the world.
"Are you at the limit...... However, it is not in vain to be able to fight such a formidable enemy. Although the injuries on his body were so severe that it was difficult to even stand up, his body still exuded the usual calmness of a martial artist. He was not the slightest dissatisfied with Kiritsugu's order not to allow retreat, and in fact, he always believed in his heart that being able to die on the battlefield was the greatest honor of a warrior.
The insurmountable obstacle was finally in front of him, and the swordsman named Sasaki Kojiro laughed proudly and waved the blade in his hand again, only this time he used only the simplest slash, not to mention that he could not reach the most proud Yanhui realm in his life, and it was even much worse than an ordinary person with a little more strength, but on his face showed a smile of relief.
The rough weapon in Berserker's hand, which looked like it was made of stone, unsurprisingly split him in half, and thus the journey that had been too short for Sasaki finally came to an end...... However, the exit of the Heroic Spirit does not mean that this battle is over, on the contrary, the battle between their father and daughter has just begun......
After all, Illya had never intended to stop when the Heroic Spirit was gone, and what she had been instilled by the Einzberen family for so many years was to kill Emiya Kiritsugu. And when she survived from the transformation of life and death again and again, this instilled idea may really become her only goal in life.
This was true even after Illya had commanded the Berserker to slaughter her mother......
"Run~~ Run! Illya gives you a chance to escape~~ But if you can't escape, I'll let Berserker kill you! Pure killing love could no longer satisfy her empty heart, and Illya, who stood next to Berserker, laughed maniacally, she had waited too long for this moment!
However, it was completely different from what he had imagined, and the man named Emiya Kiritsugu not only showed the slightest intention of fleeing at this time, but even the fear of death did not exist. He calmly took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and then stood there with a calm gaze, as if waiting for Illya's next words.
This behavior caused the girl who was trying to get satisfaction from the abuse to be stunned for a while, and then an uncontrollable anger rushed through her heart, and she couldn't figure out why Kiritsugu was not afraid...... Doesn't that look like you're unilaterally inflicting violence?!
Not to mention the sense of accomplishment...... It's almost disgusting.
"Berserker killed him!" Hysterically yelling, the little girl who doesn't know what to do at the moment is wishful thinking that as long as she kills Kiritsugu, she will be able to break free from this damn mood! Illya, who also understands that as the container of the Holy Grail and the son of sinners, she has been successfully taught by the Einzberen family to be an excellent prop, and it is normal for her to make such a decision in a hurry.
Even the Heroic Spirit is difficult to dodge the attack, and even Kiritsugu is not immune to the human body alone, but for him, who is still standing there calmly and the expression on his face has not changed in the slightest, it seems that the word "calmly going to death" is not enough to describe his current psychology.
"Stop!" The blade came to a halt just above Kiritsugu's scalp, and even then the wind pressure still left a visible wound on his face. Blood flowed from the side of his face, and Kiritsugu, who had just turned around from the Oni Gate, maintained his original movements, but turned his head to look at his adopted son, who had just said something to save his life, and then put his gaze back on Illya without saying anything.
"Go on, what do you ...... scruples" as if actively seeking death, listening to Illya's ears completely turned into the most naked mockery, the little girl gritted her teeth hatefully, and then issued another order to kill.
The knife fell, and blood splattered into the sky. Shirou, who was not far away, turned his head sadly, he tried to stop him, but Kiritsugu's last wish made him unable to do so.
The decade-long relationship has made Shirou deeply understand that the biggest regret in Kiritsugu's life is that he is unable to save his daughter, and she is also the one he is most worried about...... Therefore, after paying off the debt to Illya with his life, the task of protecting her can only be borne by himself.
In such a situation, he could not stop ...... can't stop this tragic scene of father and daughter cannibalism.
"Dead? That's it...... Dead? Easily erased the object of his resentment, but the expected satisfaction did not come as scheduled, which made Illya, who had never understood her mood before, completely stunned, "But...... Why isn't Elijah happy at all? β
That's right, this is the feeling I had when I commanded Berserker to kill everyone in the Einzberen family, but it was not as strong, so clear, so ...... as it was at this moment It's unbearable
The emptiness in her heart was uncomfortable, and Illya clenched her chest with one hand and wiped it on her face with the other, and a water stain was clearly visible on the originally empty palm......
"Ahh......h Why am I crying? Wrong...... Illya won't cry! No, it won't! He wiped the face that involuntarily left tears with his sleeve, but the more so little guy couldn't control his tears, and after a while, his originally white face became a piece.
The most reliable heroic spirit stood silently aside, but he was only a berserker who could not comfort the girl at all, and the only thing to be thankful for was probably the only thing that Illya had long been accustomed to being alone, that is, the kind of miserable person who cowered in a corner and didn't even dare to cry a little.
Shirou couldn't do it while watching the girl cry, and although he couldn't extricate himself from the fact that his adoptive father was killed for a while, he still sighed and walked to Illya's side...... Then the little girl threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
"I want to ...... If it's a holy grail, I'm sure I'll be able to resurrect my father, so ...... Don't be too upset. β
"Illya isn't upset!" The little girl retorted stiffly, but the sobbing tone was not convincing at all, "The Holy Grail is Illya's, and Illya wants to resurrect her mother with the Holy Grail." Kiritsuke...... Kiritsugu left him alone! β
"Yes...... Shirou, who was holding a girl who was obviously a little older than himself in his arms, but there was no trace of nostalgia in his heart at all, took a deep look at the direction of Kiritsugu's death, and he didn't know how to ...... He always felt that Kiritsugu couldn't die so easily.
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
"Tut-tut, this looks really miserable......" Just after Shirou and Illya left, the warehouse that had regained its quiet welcomed two uninvited guests again, "How is Yuyuko?" Have we preserved Mr. Kiritsugu's soul well? β
"Where are you~~ Purple, I believe in people a little!" The pink-haired girl with a coquettish tone whispered to her good friend Ji, recently she always felt that Zidu was accustomed to feeding her as a rice worm, obviously just detaining a soul drawn by the world, it was not a problem for her who was in charge of Bai Yulou at all!
"I'm sorry, I'm just confirming~~" It's not that she doesn't trust her abilities or anything like that, it's just that Purple is worried that Yuyuko will stuff that ball of soul into her mouth because she thinks it's delicious...... If it was that man's soul, it would definitely eat a bad stomach!
"But in this way, things are much simpler." Pinched Yuyuko, who was protesting there non-stop, and the upturned arc of the purple mouth that took the soul from her hand became more obvious, "Then according to the agreement, please come back to life Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu~~ The realm of death and life!" β
As Murasaki gently shook the fan in his hand, an obscure force enveloped Kiritsugu's body, and the body that was violently destroyed by Berserker that was visible to the naked eye quickly recovered, and then he reopened his eyes when he should have died.
Merely...... It doesn't seem appropriate to describe his current state of affairs with the word resurrected, he is not really alive now, and the so-called realm of death and life is not as convenient as resurrecting things that are already dead, it only replaces the original concept. To put it simply, at present, Emiya Kiritsugu is still in the state of a dead man, similar to a necromancer.
It's okay to say it's a living corpse~~
"How does it feel? Mr. Kiritsugu ...... "Looking at Kiritsugu, who was readjusting to his new body there, Murasaki asked with interest. Frankly, becoming a necromancy is not a good thing at all, and even if it can lead to an alternative kind of eternal life, the mere loss of most of your perception is enough to drive people crazy.
"It's special, but it's not hard to accept." However, Emiya Kiritsugu is obviously different from ordinary people, as a former killer, he accepts this status quo more easily than ordinary people, and seems to be very satisfied...... After all, if he lost the pain, then it meant that the curse that Ye Yu cast on him was also invalid.
"If you like it~~" Covering her lips with a fan, even she had to admit that this man's will was indeed eye-catching, "So what do you want to do next?" You must know that according to the rules set by Ye Jun, the alliance between us will be over from now on. β
It's unclear what Kiritsugu plans to do next, but Murasaki is sure that he's determined to resurrect in this form, and it's certainly not for the sake of watching a rare annual drama. Judging by the character of this man, it is simply impossible for him not to be involved...... The only question left is, how is he going to get involved?
"Although I have lost my Servant, my status as a Master will not change, so I still have the right to compete for the Holy Grail." There was nothing beyond Pursaki's expectations, and Kiritsugu had no intention of stopping at all, "There are only two places where the Holy Grail may come, but the spiritual veins of the Yuanban Mansion have been disturbed after the bombardment, and there is only one possibility left, Liudong Temple." I will go there and wait for the Holy Grail to come. β
Frankly speaking, for Chesilya, the transformation into necromancy can be said to be a good and harmless thing. Just eliminating Ye Yu's curse in disguise was not enough, the inherent time control he used originally had the disadvantage of causing a great load on the heart. And now...... This disadvantage obviously doesn't make sense anymore, what is the heart to a necromancy......
In this way, he can completely unfold that magic technique that is close to the magic level to the maximum limit, not to mention any inherent time control 4 times the speed, if the magic power supports 40 times the speed, there is no problem. In other words...... The current Emiya Kiritsugu already has the ability to manipulate the flow of time at will.
"Have you changed your mind? Didn't you say you believed in your adopted son before~~"
"I still believe in him, but ...... It's just an extra layer of insurance. (To be continued.) )
