Kuyu Maiya fell to the ground covered in blood, she lay there motionless, her body had begun to lose its temperature, and her breathing was so shallow that it was almost imperceptible.

Next to her, a dark-clad Berserker was standing.

Earlier, just as she was about to pull the trigger, Berserker suddenly appeared and attacked her.

Although she has been on the battlefield for a long time, her keen sense of danger has allowed her to avoid Berserker's sneak attack. But the huge gap between mortals and heroic spirits caused her to be quickly routed in Berserker's next attack.

"Maiya ......"

Kuyu Maiya's unexpected death caused Emiya Kiritsugu to waver for a moment, but soon he didn't care about worrying about his assistant, because just as he was distracted by Maiya's affairs, Wang Ji had already rushed in front of him.

I saw Wang Ji holding three black keys in both hands, like a fierce beast biting at its prey, and inserted it into the heir from both the upper and lower directions at the same time.

“Timealter－－doubleaccel！ (Inherent Time Control - Double Speed)"

In a critical moment, the body reacts before the brain, and the mind reiterates the incantation.

At the last moment, Kiritsugu jumped backwards, only to see the black key in Wang Ji's hand skimming past his chest menacingly.

Kiritsugu ignored the damage inflicted on himself by the side effects of the Inherent Time Control, and instead kept it active and got out of Wang Ji's attack range in one go. Then he raised the Kaliko M950** in his hand and began to shoot fiercely at Wang Ji.

With his rich combat experience, Wang Ji predicted all this before Kiritsugu fired.

Wang Ji unleashed a large-scale magic trick.

The black keys, which were held by both hands, immediately swelled to several times the size of the blade. The half-body blade, which was originally woven from magic, was infused with extralegal magic to complete the "strengthening". Wang Ji overlapped the huge six swords on his chest and fanned them out, and the powerful destructive power brought by the 9mm bullet rain was instantly completely blocked, and the bullets were bounced away with fierce sparks.

This stunt of making the sword superior to the bullet is truly breathtaking. This fell into the hands of Kiritsugu. It was precisely because of Wang Ji's defensive countermeasures that Kiritsugu was able to ensure the success of his mortal blow. I saw that while maintaining his shooting at Wang Ji, he pulled out his magic dress with his other hand - a Contender single-shot rifle from Tompson/Center.

This is a gun that was originally used as a shooting competition. The barrel is fourteen centimeters long, and the clamp and handle are made of walnut. A 30.06 mm Springfield sniper rifle cartridge was used. In addition to the necessary trigger and firing pin, the lines and chamber are not even visible from the outside, and the appearance is quite simple. Similar to the end of the Middle Ages.

When Kiritsugu got his hands on it, he changed the barrel of his spear and cast a spell on the firing pin, turning him into his magic dress.

Kiritsugu aimed Contender's gun at Wang Ji and fired a magic bullet with the belief that he would win.

When the previous generation of Emiya families determined the "origin" of the born son-in-law, they were overwhelmed by the strange result and named the baby "Kiritsu".

Roughly speaking, it is the dual attribute of "fire" and "earth". In detail, it is a composite attribute of "severing" and "combining". That is the essence of his soul form, which is the "origin".

When making his own dress, Emiya Kiritsugu made the most of the extremely special "origin" he possessed. The first and second ribs on his flanks were removed. The ribs taken out were ground into powder, then condensed with soul engineering and sealed into sixty-six rounds as a core.

This bullet will materialize the "origin" of Kiritsugu to the "hit" object. If it hits the creature's body, there is neither wound nor bleeding, but the part of the bullet becomes like an old necrotic wound. The superficial layer looks like it has been healed, but the nerves and capillaries have not regenerated accurately and have lost their original function.

And this bullet with the function of conceptual armament will pose an even more serious threat to the magician.

When Kiritsugu's magic bullet is interfered with by magic, the effect of the "origin" in the bullet will be severely fed back into the magic circuit of the magician.

If you compare a magician's magic circuit to a high-voltage current circuit, Kiritsugu's bullet is a drop of water. What happens if a conductive liquid adheres to a dense electrical circuit – because a short circuit in the loop causes the current to destroy the circuit itself, causing a complete failure.

As with that, making the magic circuit "short-circuit" is the terrifying effect of the Kiritsugu dress.

If you want to avoid damage from Kiritsugu's magic bullets, you need to use only physical means to defend against bullets without relying on any magic. In response to this, the use of the Dot 30-06 SpringField shell by Kiritsugu can be said to be a poor choice. From the very beginning, there was simply no armor that could completely protect against the bullets of this hunting rifle. It's a bullet that is known for its penetrating power. As long as you don't ride in an armored car, you will definitely not be able to avoid being injured.

Just one shot. Just that's enough. Kiritsugu dared to choose the Thompson Contender, which was not suitable for actual combat, as his dress suit, in order to carry it as a pistol with the greatest physical destructive ability.

Of the sixty-six rounds of ammunition, Kiritsugu had already consumed thirty-eight. But there is not a single waste in it. Using a bullet made from a part of his body, thirty-eight magicians have been completely destroyed.

And now the thirty-ninth "Origin Bomb" will also bring him victory.

Emiya Kiritsugu firmly believed.

……

I saw that the 30.06 Springfield sniper rifle bullet hit the sword and shield stacked on Wang Ji's chest. Although this bullet was bounced off like the previous bullet, the black keys in Wang Ji's hand were finally overwhelmed and all shattered.

"It worked!"

Emiya Kiritsugu shouted in his heart.

However, unexpectedly, from the fragments of the six black keys that flew in all directions, a rapidly approaching figure suddenly appeared, and Kiritsu couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

“Timealter－－doubleaccel！ (Inherent Time Control - Double Speed)"

Kiritsugu recited the spell again, and then leaped to dodge Wang Ji's attack. I saw Wang Ji's right foot grazing the tip of his nose violently. And the left foot that continued to attack failed to kick Kiritsugu's neck. Wang Ji's fluent chain leg attack was confused by the double speed of Kiriji's movement.

The magic gun Contender's "Origin Bullet" is invalid - this is something that Kiritsu did not expect, and Kiritsugu can't figure out why.

In fact, this was caused by Wang Ji's special way of performing magic tricks. Wang Ji knew the horror of the "Origin Bomb" of the Kiri, so how could he not take precautions. Therefore, when he casts a magic spell, he does not use his own magic circuit, but a spell.

In essence, the spell is actually a kind of magic crystal, and it is born with great magical power. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to transfer space, force the Heroic Spirit, these miraculous things.

Therefore, the Spell can be used as a source of magic for magic.

It's just that normally, no magician would use a precious spell like this. Only Wang Ji, who has obtained the spell left over from the past Holy Grail War, would waste it like this.

Of course, Wang Ji did not do this without a price. When the magic was activated and the origin bullet that came into contact with it took effect, the spell that was the source of the magic disappeared from Wang Ji's arm.

But in any case, the biggest trump card of Emiya Kiritsugu has been ineffective against Wang Ji, but it is an unchangeable fact. At the very least, the spell on Wang Ji's body is consumed, and this is the case.

###

The confrontation between Wang Ji and Weigong Kiritsugu just now can be described as fast as lightning, and the movement is like a rabbit. Both of them are done in the middle of the rabbit's fall. It wasn't until the struggle broke off that Alice Field, who had just arrived, realized what was happening.

“Saber！”

She called out to the Knight King who was standing aside.

Saber turned to look at Alice Phil, and from Alice Phil's gaze, Saber read a request.

"Please help Kiritsuke!"

Although Alice Phil didn't say it, her meaning was clearly conveyed to Saber.

In fact, there is no need for Alice Phil to ask, Saber will also help Kiritsugu. Although he does not agree with Kiritsugu's methods and paths, Saber is full of respect for his ultimate goal.

Saber nodded to Alice Phil in understanding, and then raised his sword and charged at the king.

“Berserker！”

In the face of the rushing Saber, Wang Ji only did one thing - he summoned his own Servant with the Command Spell.

The next moment, the pitch-black Berserker stopped in front of Saber.

###

"No one will bother us now."

Wang Wei said.

"You...... Who the hell is it? ”

Seeing Wang Ji summon Berserker, Emiya Kiritsugu asked the question in his heart again.

"Does it make sense to ask that question now?"

Indeed, by now, it is meaningless to dwell on Wang Ji's identity.

Wang Ji and Emiya Kiritsugu are destined to be the only one who can leave here alive today. If Emiya Kiritsugu survives, what does it matter if you know the identity of a dead enemy? If Wang Ji survived, then there was no need to know, because the dead did not need to know anything.

So, Emiya Kiritsugu reloaded the bullets for Contender, threw away the ** that had been emptied of the bullets, and pulled out the same other one from the holster.

And Wang Ji also pulled out six black keys again and drove up.

The flames of war are about to be ignited again.
