I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Noon has arrived.

Literally speaking, it means that it has reached "noon time".

Noon hour is one of the traditional Chinese time units, which refers to the period from 11:00 to 12:59 noon.

"Noon has arrived" itself has no specific meaning, but in a specific context, it will be given a special meaning.

In traditional Chinese culture, noon is the time of day when the Yang Qi is strongest. Execution of death row prisoners at this time can well neutralize the Yin Qi of the death row prisoners, preventing them from turning into evil ghosts and causing harm to the world, which embodies the Chinese The core of culture is "Yin and Yang harmony, harmonious development".

Therefore, "noon has arrived" is sometimes used to mean "the time for execution has arrived."

In Kenneth's opinion, Emiya Kiritsugu's "noon hour" has arrived.

The columnar defense system he rebuilt had several times the defensive power of the membrane. He was sure that Kiritsugu's bullets could not penetrate his Moon Spirit Essence.

After blocking this shot, it will be the damn rat's turn to suffer the next misfortune. He will let that rat know what the wrath of the Magician Lord is - Kenneth Elmeloy Archibalud said Do it!

The reality is just the opposite. It is Kenneth who "has arrived at noon".

The magic power required to expand the mercury into a columnar shape cannot be compared to that of a simple membrane. Each reverse spine twisted into a steel wire thickness must have the hardness and toughness to deflect bullets. To build such a defense, even Kenneth's level must use all his magic power.

This is exactly what Kiritsugu wants to see, and his trump card "Origin Bomb" exists just for this time.

Origin, also known as ‘Chaos Impulse’. The concept is similar to primitive instinct and fatalism. All things, including life, already have a direction (cause) at the beginning, and then they will inevitably develop in this direction.

As far as humans are concerned, what this directionality will produce is a primitive impulse, but it is still possible to suppress it with the innate personality and wisdom. However, because the origin is the direction that has been determined far away in the "vortex of the source", it is an absolute command at the core of all things and all things, and it cannot be changed even after reincarnation.

The origin is closely related to the attributes of the magician. When the Emiya family of the previous generation determined the origin of their legitimate son, they named the baby Kiritsugu because of the strange result.

When determining the "origin" of the born Kiritsugu, he was overwhelmed by the strange results and named the baby "Kiritsugu". Roughly speaking, it is the dual attribute of "fire" and "earth". If classified in detail, it is the composite attribute of "cutting" and "joining". , that is the soul form he inherited from life, which is the true form of "origin".

Cutting off (cut) and combining (tsu) are slightly different from destruction and regeneration, because the origin of Kiritsugu does not mean "repair". For example, if lines are cut and then joined together, the thickness of the nodes will change. In other words, the act of "cutting and inheriting" will cause the object to irreversibly "deteriorate".

Emiya Kiritsugu realized that his "origin" was when he was doing manual work. If it is an ordinary prop, it can be repaired if it breaks. Once it becomes a precision machine. Things suddenly became the opposite. The more he tried to repair it, the more fatally the machinery would become damaged.

This is actually influenced by the "origin". Because if just an ordinary metal wire is broken, the original purpose can be restored by connecting the cut part. However, the same method does not apply to precision electronic circuits, which are not things that can just be connected. As long as there is a slight problem in one line, the loop will lose its function.

Kiritsugu made full use of this strange characteristic, making it into a magic costume, and used it as his final trump card. The twelfth pair of ribs on the left and right sides of his flank were removed, and the removed ribs were ground into powder, then condensed using soul engineering, and used as bullet cores to seal into sixty-six bullets.

The bullet is named "Origin Bullet", and it will materialize Kiritsugu's origin when it hits. If it hits the body of a living thing, there will be no wound or bleeding, but the area where it was hit will become like a necrotic old wound. The surface layer may appear to be healed, but the nerves and capillaries do not regenerate accurately and lose their original functions.

Moreover, bullets with the function of conceptual weapons will pose a more serious threat to magicians.

The moment Kiritsugu's fatal blow came into contact with the quicksilver thorn, all the other thorns closed up like a flytrap, surrounding the bullet. The dense group of tiny reverse spines instantly turned into a single thick column, completely blocking the power of the bullet.

The Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, which is characterized by free transformation, shows off its skills. The dense and perfect fluid manipulation magic technique is undoubtedly the ultimate stunt that lives up to the name of the famous Archibald family.

However, the moment this magic was completed beautifully, Kenneth's fate also ended. He did not understand what happened to his body until the end.

The bullet was twisted and shattered by the pressure of mercury. Just when Kenneth thought that he had blocked the opponent's dying blow and it was time for him to take advantage of this damn mouse, a sharp pain spread throughout his body and heart. The lungs and nerves were torn apart at that moment.

Blood spurted out before his throat screamed, because the wrong movements of his broken nerves caused the muscles in his whole body to tremble, which looked like a funny dance to outsiders.

The high-density magic power circulated in the magic circuit with strong pressure suddenly began to run wild regardless of the circuit, and as a result, the artist's own body was destroyed. When the Moon Essence Liquid blocked Contender's blow, Kenneth suffered more serious injuries than if he had been directly hit by a bullet.

This is the more serious threat. When Kiritsugu's magic bullet is interfered with by magic, the impact of the origin of the bullet will be seriously fed back to the magic circuit of the magician.

If a magician's magic circuit is compared to a high-voltage current loop, Kiritsugu's bullet is like a drop of water. If a conductive liquid adheres to a dense electrical circuit, there is only one result: the circuit is short-circuited, and the out-of-control current burns the circuit itself. This is the terrifying effect of the "origin bomb".

To stop the effect of the origin bullet, the bullet must be blocked by physical means without relying on magic. For this reason, Kiritsugu chose the 30.06 mm caliber Springfield sniper rifle bullet. According to the technological level at the time, only the armor of armored vehicles and higher-level physical defense could guarantee complete invulnerability.

Just one shot, just that was enough.

Kiritsugu dared to choose no magazine and could only load one bullet. The Thompson Contender, which can be called the evil among pistols, was used as a magic gift to match the "Origin Bullet" in order to use it as a pistol with the greatest physical destructive ability. Portable for use.

So far, not a single "Origin Bullet" has been wasted. Bullets made from part of Kiritsugu's body have completely destroyed the lifeblood of thirty-seven magicians, and now the thirty-eighth victim has fallen.

After his beloved gun completed its mission, Kiritsugu pressed his finger on the trigger and swung the long gun body downwards as if to shake off blood stains.

The empty cartridge case bounced from the folded magazine into the void. It fell to the marble floor with a faint smoke residue.

Kiritsugu had no emotion about the victory. This time it was the same as before, successful guidance and a calculated conclusion, nothing more.

The lethality of the "Origin Bullet" depends on how many magic circuits are activated by the target at the moment it hits the target. Because what destroys the body of the magician is the magic power of the magician himself. This was fatal to Kenneth. He was constantly provoked to exert his magic to the extreme, allowing Kiritsugu to achieve the highest result he expected.

Kenneth lay down in the sea of ​​mercury that returned to its original liquid state and spread all over the floor, his body shaking slightly. The powerful Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid has lost its source of magic power and is unsustainable.

The former Lord El-Meloy is now as harmless as a baby. Now, not to mention having the power of a magician, his body may not even have the functions of a normal human being.

Although he would die sooner or later if left alone, Kiritsugu's principle was to deliver the final blow to the fallen enemy. He switched the M950, which still had bullets, to burst fire, and walked towards Kayneth, who was already like a living dead.

Shoot the opponent in the head at extremely close range, so that one of the seven pairs of masters and slaves competing for the Holy Grail will retreat.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness and grasped the barrel of the M950.
