Chapter Eighty-Five: Miranda

"Do you have any last words before that? Emiya Kiritsugu. For the sake of your unafraid of death, I can listen to it. ”

Releasing the hand that was holding Alice Phil, Miranda folded her arms and raised her head proudly.

The weapons in the King's Treasure are in a state of readiness, and they can be launched at any time as long as the order is given, and the Emiya Kiritsugu in front of them will be shot into a hornet's nest.

"Ahem...... Why, why did it do it, why did you take away Ellie. Are you ready to rebel against the Guild? ”

He covered his mouth and coughed twice, as if it was accompanied by blood, but Emiya Kiritsugu didn't have the time to comprehend, and was frowning and glaring at Miranda fiercely.

Although his appearance has entered his twilight years, the cold momentum released is no worse than that of young people.

"Rebel Guild? Ahahahaha!"

As if she had heard some big joke, Miranda burst into laughter without grace, her voice full of strange pleasure.

After laughing for a while, she gradually retracted her voice.

"What a ridiculous statement. When did I become a lackey of your guild, it's just a cooperative relationship, don't give me an inch! ”

Miranda's voice was full of majesty, and she stood in front of the crowd with a kind of lofty momentum.

No one dared to contradict her words, even sabotage at the guild headquarters, where martial arts were strictly forbidden.

She acts as if she takes things for granted, and her existence seems to be above the rules.

However, there are always surprises, just like ......

"...... Etude"

"Ah, I don't want to hear your voice anymore, let's die."

Randa, annoyed, interrupted Emiya Kiritsugu's words, and waved her hand to give the order to attack the king's treasure.

Obviously, she took the initiative to talk, but now she has unilaterally and brutally terminated it, and her behavior is simply wanton.

Puff puff!

A gorgeous cold weapon like a spear and a sword shot out, drawing a series of flashes in the air, and launched a simultaneous attack from multiple angles towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

β€˜Timealter――tripleaccel!β€˜

There seemed to be such a chant, and Emiya Kiritsugu's figure seemed to be slightly distorted, and then his speed suddenly skyrocketed. As if mocking time, he instantly crossed the spatial distance, not only crossing the attack range of the king's treasure, but also taking advantage of the opportunity to rush to the fainting Alice Phil to rescue her.

"Nice acrobatics, but nothing in front of me."

The cold words seemed to be a death sentence. Emiya Kiritsugu's hand was about to touch Alice Phil's body, but the King's Treasure was activated before him.

A faint ripple of golden water spread, and a long sword that looked very sharp appeared in front of his eyes, and the difference in distance was almost zero.

Avoid...... It's too late!

Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to continue using his specialized magic, the Inherent Time Control, which could speed up the flow of blood, the burning of hemoglobin, and the time it took for muscle movements to start and end. He showed a physical skill that ordinary people could not achieve, but his body could no longer bear it.

Because it is a time manipulation magic that specializes in the physical body, it brings a powerful effect but also causes a great burden.

His body was already in a crumbling state, and it was almost the limit when he used it once just now, not to mention whether he could avoid the crisis if he could use it again, and before that, his body was likely to collapse because he couldn't bear the burden.

Is that the end of it?

Indeed, it ended here and there, as it was......

"Stop!"

The sound of youthful cheers reached Emiya Kiritsugu's ears, and a girl he didn't know rushed into the battlefield at some point, came to his side, and flicked away the sword that was supposed to pierce his head with great speed.

Not only that, but after flicking the long sword, the girl also took advantage of the situation to attack Miranda next to her. It's just that Miranda easily dodged it. But because of this, Miranda distanced herself from them, and Alice Phil was saved.

As for the girl's true body, it is naturally Lei Ruxue.

"That's good, little girl, you rushed in and didn't let me find out, but your weapons are really not enough to see."

Someone suddenly interrupted the attack, which should have been angry, especially for someone as arrogant as Miranda. But in fact, she didn't show an angry look, but looked at Lei Ruxue with interest and opened her mouth leisurely.

"Weapons? Yes! ”

Lei Ruxue, who was just about to say something angrily, heard Miranda's words. looked at the Taidao in his hand, and found that the blade of the Taidao had been broken into a large gap, and the blade of the knife was also crumbling, and it would not be surprising to break in half at any time.

This is undoubtedly the damage caused by the shot that bounced off the King's treasure just now.

"Give me your name as a reward for your courage. I allowed it. ”

Miranda said in a charity-like tone in a lofty posture.

"Lei Ruxue!"

So Lei Ruxue said it stupidly and immediately.

"You are the only one of these long ant colonies who dare to come out, and your courage is worthy of praise."

Miranda said, looking around the hall with open arms. As a result, not to mention who came out to refute, there was not even a single person who dared to look at her, and they all turned their heads.

It can be seen how high her prestige in the guild is.

"Butβ€”"

After looking around. Miranda's tone suddenly changed sharply, and arrogance poured out.

"You're so arrogant trying to challenge me, little girl!"

The ripples of space appeared with her words, and this time it was the scale of a sea of gold, and the number of weapons at least thirty or more was revealed from the golden ripples and entered a state of standby.

"Rejoice, this is my reward for you. Then disappear, I don't want to waste time on a nameless little girl. ”

Puff puff! Puff puff!

A series of breaking sounds echoed deafeningly, and the barrage of weapons fell from the sky, instantly blasting the ground out of one hole after another, swallowing Lei Ruxue's figure in the smoke of gunpowder.

Not only her, but also Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice Phil in a coma were included.

"Ah, I forgot there are containers...... Forget it, it's a big deal to let that guy find another one. ”

Miranda muttered under her breath, and then stopped caring about the details.

However, to her surprise, after the smoke cleared, there were no bodies left at the bombardment site. Ali Lei Ruxue actually escaped from the attack range with two people who were faint and injured.

"Ahem, thank you, little girl. But it's okay, you better get out of here. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu, whose face was getting paler and paler, thanked Lei Ruxue for saving him. Then he kindly persuaded him.

He is naturally familiar with Miranda's strength, and it is impossible for a little girl like Lei Ruxue to fight.

"It's okay, as long as you still have this ...... in your hand Yes! It's broken! ”

Lei Ruxue's imposing words were deflated by the breaking of the knife.

"You can't beat Miranda even if you still have a weapon in your hand, so get out of here. This is the guild's headquarters. Support will be coming soon. ”

"Support? There's not going to be that kind of thing. Even if there is, do you think a bunch of half-warriors can stop me? ”

Miranda's disdainful laugh rang out and interjected into the conversation between the two.

"What did you do?! Ahem! Emiya Kiritsugu was momentarily agitated and coughed violently.

"What was done? You are not qualified to question me, and if it were your daughter, I might tell her, as for you...... Go and delight me with the face of death. ”

Miranda's voice fell, and the third wave of the King's Treasure appeared.

This time it's twice as much as before.

"Can you do me a favor, I'll hold her back later, and then you take the opportunity to take Ellie and leave quickly, you can go anywhere, but don't come back here." As she said. It's likely that something big has happened to the guild. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu kept an eye on Miranda's movements and whispered to Lei Ruxue.

This is the best way now, and the reason why the other party wants to take Alice Phil is still unknown, but there is no doubt that she must not put Alice in the hands of the other party.

So he could only ask Lei Ruxue, even if he paid for it, it was nothing.

However, unexpectedly, Lei Ruxue firmly rejected his request.

"No, I'm not leaving."

Lei Ruxue's eyes flashed with strong will, she was no longer the little girl who could only hide behind others. Although her strength is not how strong, but more importantly, her mind has changed.

If she stays here, she will regret it for the rest of her life. Call her reckless or stupid. She won't change her mind.

Moreover, she is now a corpse concubine, and her immortality far exceeds that of humans, which is one of the reasons why she is so determined.

"You ......"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at her expression and suddenly became speechless.

"Haven't you finished your last words? Although it was a gift for you to dodge the blow you just had. But my patience on a whim is limited. ”

Miranda folded her hand and said impatiently.

"Come on, bad woman! I'm not going to back down. ”

Lei Ruxue raised his face, waved the Taidao knife with only the handle in his hand, and said sternly.

"That's it? It's so shabby. Do you want me to lend you one? ”

Looking at the weapon in Lei Ruxue's hand, Miranda mocked.

"No, you don't!"

"Light snow! Use it! ”

Donghua's voice sounded, and then he saw her running over and throwing the knife in her hand to Lei Ruxue.

"Donghua! Go back! It's going to be dangerous! And thank you for the knife! ”

See your buddy approaching. Lei Ruxue took the knife and shouted worriedly.

"No, I'm the one to talk about. I'm sorry, but that's all I can do for you. ”

There are no complicated verbal explanations, some are sincere apologies.

Donghua's face was intertwined with complicated expressions, and finally turned into a bitter smile.

"Nope! You'll always be my best friend! ”

Lei Ruxue said with a big smile, looking at Donghua's distant back, and pulled out the sword in his hand.

She understood the meaning of Donghua's smile, and apologized for not having the courage to fight alongside her.

But even so, she handed over the new knife she had just gotten, and that was enough.

Donghua is the first and most important friend she has made here.

"It's a good friendship, but it's a pity that it's about to wither here."

The final judgment was pronounced by the words of the summing, and the onslaught ensued. (To be continued.) )
