I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Except for Ryuunosuke Ubu, a madman who broke in, none of the other masters were fools.

They either "hid in the city" like Weber, hiding in inconspicuous houses, and use the high mobility of the Rider tank to carry out operations, or they build workshops like Shinji and make their stronghold as impregnable as possible.

A noble "lord" like Kenneth undoubtedly belongs to the latter. Although he has not been in Fuyuki City for a long time, he has already completely renovated the entire Hyatt Regency Hotel.

This kind of transformation is not physical, but refers to the strengthening of magic. In Kenneth's own words -

"Twenty-fourth floor of the barrier, three magic furnaces, evil spirits used to replace hounds, dozens of monsters, countless traps, even underground waterways, and part of the corridor has been transformed into another world. Also. That is to say, we can compete with each other in secret techniques as much as we want, without worrying about affecting the outside world, and let our guests have a good visit to my Kenneth Almeroy's magic workshop."

Even from a distance of hundreds of meters, Shenji could clearly capture the pride on Kenneth's face. One can imagine how confident he was in his workshop.

According to Scathach's investigation over the past few days, the defensive capabilities of Kenneth's workshop are only inferior to those of the Matou family, which has been fully strengthened by the original runes, and the workshop similar to its own extension built by Caster using job intermediary skills. It is enough to compete with Tokiomi Tohsaka. Compared to the proud ancestral workshop - just talking about magic.

Yes, we only discuss magic defense and don't consider anything else.

Most magicians in the world will subconsciously ignore or even despise technology. In their eyes, occultism and magic are supreme. As for science, it is just the struggle of ordinary people without talent and is not worth mentioning.

As a representative of traditional magicians, Kenneth also thinks so, and takes it for granted that all magicians have the same views as him. He never considered pure physical defense, let alone the possibility of being attacked by ordinary people.

Therefore, he was tragic.

Before the pride on his face faded, he felt violent shaking, as if the world was spinning.

Soon, the loud sound of reinforced concrete falling apart echoed in the night sky, creating an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

The hotel collapsed!

The high-rise hotel, which was more than 150 meters high, remained upright and collapsed as if it was being sucked into the ground. Because all the outer walls collapsed inward, no debris burst out, only the dust generated by the collapse engulfed the surrounding streets.

This is a very clever blasting technique - directional blasting, an advanced blasting technology mainly used to destroy large high-rise buildings. By destroying the load-bearing walls and key pillars, the building was pressed inward due to its own weight. Use the minimum amount of explosives to achieve complete destruction.

"There was no sound of explosion, and the impact on the surroundings was minimized. It is simply art."

Shinji put down the telescope without any false admiration.

"It is said that Emiya Kiritsugu is proficient in all blasting techniques both ancient and modern, both inside and outside. He is a well-deserved master of blasting. Today, when I see him, he truly lives up to his reputation. He has truly achieved 'art is explosion'."

Although he didn't see the real person, Shinji was sure that the director of this big drama was Emiya Kiritsugu.

As the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. No matter how good you are, you will knock him down with a brick. Who competes with you in magic and just dismantles it from outside without entering the workshop to see what you will do?

Shinji dare not forget the family motto of the flower grower. Also acting according to this principle is the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu who only cares about efficiency in everything, and he is even more serious than the former.

If Shinji were to attack, he would only destroy a few floors at most, while Emiya Kiritsugu directly blew up the skyscraper.

All the buildings in Fuyuki City that were the magician's base were recorded on Emiya Kiritsugu's destruction list, and the Hyatt Regency Fuyuki Hotel was one of them. Kiritsugu obtained the building's blueprints in advance and found the explosion point where the bomb would be set. As long as you are fully prepared, the actual operation will not even take an hour.

According to Emiya Kiritsugu's judgment, the thirty-second floor where Kenneth was located lost its support due to the chain reaction caused by the directional blasting. In the end, it was equivalent to a free fall from an altitude of 150 meters to the ground. No matter how strong the magic barrier is, it cannot protect the people indoors from such a powerful destructive force.

Emiya Kiritsugu was like a mantis that had been planning for a long time, hunting everywhere, and Kenneth was the cicada he was eyeing.

In order to ensure the death of "Cicada", Emiya Kiritsugu specially arranged for his assistant Maiya Kuu to snipe at a fixed point. Once Kenneth used magic to escape from the 32nd floor, Maiya Kuu would immediately carry out the sniper attack.

The observation deck on the 38th floor of the Fuyuki Center Building at Shinji's feet was chosen by Kuu Maiya as the sniping location.

Relying on the invisibility performance of the "Hades Invisibility Cloak" that is close to the power level, Shinji successfully sneaked from the 40th floor to the 38th floor. At this time, Kuu Maiya was reporting to Emiya Kiritsugu through the headset.

"The target remained motionless until the end and did not escape outside the hotel."

Although she had just witnessed a devastating destruction, there was no trace of excitement in her voice.

At this time, the Hyatt Regency Hotel has completely collapsed, which means that Kuu Maiya's surveillance mission has come to an end. He took out the bullets from the gun that ended the mission before he had a chance to appear, put it in the suitcase, and then put the sniper rifle back He stood up on his back and walked downstairs.

Suddenly, she noticed something unusual.

It's not a general strangeness, but a more unclear change in the atmosphere.

Whether it's a war-hardened soldier like Kuu Maiya or Shinji, who is now different from his former self, they can clearly feel the changes in the air.

This is - murderous intent!

"——Your senses are very keen, Miss."

A low and cold male voice came from behind Maiya who stopped. The sound echoed in the empty reinforced concrete building, making it impossible to determine its origin.

Maiya didn't answer or ask questions out loud, she just calmly used her keen intuition to find the location of the other party, and pulled out the 9mm caliber pistol from her waist - anyone who appeared here and now, as long as it wasn't Emiya Kiritsugu, would be there. They are enemies and there is no need to show mercy.

"——Hmph, it's good to have such an awareness."

The man hiding in the dark said as if he was mocking, and slowly walked out from behind the pillar where he was hiding, exposing himself to Maiya's sight and gun.

The man in front of him was wearing a black monk's uniform, exuding an inexplicable sense of majesty and oppression.
