PS: The second update, well, that's it, continue to ask for tickets, ask for collections. The next one depends on the situation
Chapter 66, the most difficult clue
The Holy Grail War has officially begun...
It wasn't until the long night passed that this intuition was deeply ingrained in the hearts of every surviving master and servant.
Just last night, the struggle that truly deserves to be called bloodshed finally arrived.
The first is Lancer, who wounded Saber with a cursed spear, and the ornate magic workshop that Lord Almero was supposed to be in a good position to deal with enemy attacks unexpectedly didn't work... Just because his opponent is not an enemy who can be judged by common sense at all.
The siege of Kiritsugu chose the most efficient way to solve the battle... He directly blew up the entire hotel where Kenneth lived.
As a result of this, there was still no further information from Kenneth.
As for Berserker, who had fought with Gilgamesh in the initial battle, he suddenly disappeared from the world, not only him, but also Makiri, who was the master, had disappeared without a trace.
On the other hand, compared to the previous few and Tosaka Toshitomi who hung up the free card, Rider was much more active. Flying freely in the sky through the treasure "Kamui Wheel", he quickly found the location of Caster, and of course there was a battle, because of the environment, the Assassin was not able to get too close, but from the information confirmed so far, it seems that the aura of Caster himself and his master has indeed disappeared.
In this case, it can indeed be considered that the caster has been eliminated by the rider.
… Of course, it's not just the rider himself who is skeptical of this claim.
"Hey, little ghost, are you really sure the caster's breath is gone?"
The burly man sat cross-legged on the big bed, touching his stubble chin while contemplating the battle that had taken place yesterday.
"Really, it's the same if you ask this kind of thing a few times..."
While continuing to fiddle with the test-tube beaker in front of him, Webb replied absentmindedly... Although it's really frustrating that he's a scrap wood magician who can't help in terms of combat, after living with this rugged king for a long time, it seems that even he has adapted to this "role setting"...
"Although you said that the one you killed was just a monster summoned by Caster, but after that, Caster's aura did disappear, or you thought that he had already fled..."
Weber, who was in the process of an alchemy test, suddenly stopped what he was doing.
Originally, it was just a curiosity that he collected a special magic residue in the vicinity of last night's battle, but the results of the experiment surprised even him.
"Now, Rider, maybe you're right, maybe that Caster guy did escape."
"Oh? Why is there such an inference all of a sudden? ”
The King of Conquest is also interested, after all, determining the state of the enemy is also an important step in warfare.
"Look."
Webb held the test tube in his hand in front of Iskandar, where a special brown fluorescent substance was circulating.
"What is this?"
"Remnants of magic..."
Webb frowned
"And this time it was found on the shore some distance from Caster's lair, and it's exactly the same magic structure as the one detected before, so I don't know... That monster really hid by some means. ”
What a troublesome enemy.
—————————————————————————————————————
"That means there's no direct evidence that Caster is dead, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, continue to monitor the actions of the rider, and report to me in time about the situation on the church side."
"Yes."
Hanging up the phone, Emiya Kiritsugu took out a quick sandwich from the package he was carrying, and quickly settled his lunch while reading the information he had gathered so far.
The current situation is not clear... No, it should be said that it is getting more and more chaotic.
Saber's left hand shows no signs of recovery, meaning that Lancer hasn't been withdrawn from the war yet. It seems that the attack that night did not have a relative effect - on the other hand, their side was about to face Kenneth's revenge. Although the defense of Einzbelen has been strengthened, considering that the other party is also an extremely outstanding magician, the matter will not be so easy to end.
Even if Archibald is put aside for the time being, there are still three servants who have not heard from him on the surface.
The first was the assassin who lost his trace at the very beginning of the war, but from later surveillance, there is no doubt that the assassin is still alive. So in connection with the previous battle between the Tosaka family, it is clear that Archer and Assassin have formed a confluence. Then, Tosaka Tokitomi, who has both Gilgamesh and an assassin, suddenly becomes the strongest opponent in this war!
Secondly, there is the caster, whose whereabouts have been unknown since last night.
Although judging from the results of the current investigation, this cruel abuser should have been buried under Rider's sword, this incident happened so fast from beginning to end that no one else has witnessed the scene except Rider himself. And, it seems, even the king of conquest himself is not sure if the caster has really been eradicated ...
This makes things even more complicated.
If it's Caster himself who escapes with the help of some ability, it's good to say, after all, in this situation, if this madman must take revenge, the first person to find should probably be Rider. But what if the liar is the Emperor himself?
With the experience of the Assassin, this seemingly irreconcilable Holy Grail War can no longer be judged by ordinary circumstances. Kiritsugu couldn't rule out an alliance between Iskandar and Caster.
As for the most rear...
Tossing the remnants of the sandwich wrapping paper into the trash, Kiritsugu's eyes locked on the photo on the map.
The night of the wild goose.
For this man who forcibly became the master through the insect transformation of the Makiri family a year ago, Kiritsugu didn't pay much attention to it.
During the Battle of Warehouse Street, the reckless attempt to attack the Servant had exposed his lack of combat experience. At that time, Kiritsugu only did not take action against this target that could be attacked at any time because "Berserker's ability can be very good to contain Archer".
But also last night, this guy also completely disappeared from his surveillance field, and he appeared in the last position...
It is the vicinity of the Fuengawa River where the battle between Rider and Caster took place.
