Lost Narrative Poetry

Lancer immediately tightened his grip on the red spear in his hand, wanting to shoot the sinister man in front of him in the head.

But he endured it in the end. He couldn't help but worry about the lives of Kenneth and Kenneth. It was precisely because of this that he took advantage of the situation and was coerced by Emiya Kiritsugu to serve him.

After all, what controls Lancer now and forces him to swallow his anger is not the transferred contract and command spell, but the two previous masters, Kenneth and Sora, who have become hostages and fallen into the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu. .

If he dares to kill Emiya Kiritsugu now, then the next second, Kenneth and Kenneth on the other side of the city will be killed immediately.

Without saying anything else, Lancer held the two magic guns with a gloomy expression and walked forward.

Emiya Kiritsugu added coldly behind him: "Try to hold him back as long as possible. If you have a chance to kill him, it would be even better. Don't be stingy with the Noble Phantasm... I will use the Command Seal at the critical moment."

"..."

"..."

Without replying, Lancer's figure walked through the last section of street with street lights and disappeared into the darkness.

He didn't think he had much chance of winning, because the person on the opposite side... well, the equipment on the opposite side was too powerful. The Noble Phantasm was so over-the-top that it was simply unreasonable. Not only were the numbers infinite, but the levels were also Superlative.

Faced with such an enemy, Lancer naturally didn't think he had any chance of winning, because it was impossible for that guy to have an upright knightly contest with him and compete in martial arts skills——

That guy would definitely just use various excuses, saying, "If I kill you with a treasure, it will contaminate my treasure," and then use the infinite bullet plug-in function to suppress him until he is shot dead.

If that guy directly releases the move "Heaven and Earth Deviation·Opening Star", he will even be killed instantly. The only thing he can hope for is that the opponent will continue to be arrogant and arrogant, and does not want to use a big move at the beginning, or seize the opportunity to close the distance. Suppress and don't give the opponent a chance to make bigger moves.

The latter was the more likely choice, and it was Lancer's only chance to turn defeat into victory. Although the possibility was slim, he could only seize it with all his strength.

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't get an answer, and he didn't care too much. He knew that the other party didn't dare to resist. An unscrupulous person can control the life of a scrupulous person, so he can be so arrogant and unscrupulous, and he can push his limits.

He quickly checked his equipment, and walked towards the entrance of the alley on the side amidst the falling snowflakes, preparing to go around in a circle and enter the building from the back of the People's Guild Hall.

Kotomine Kirei was waiting for him inside. That man got a new Servant and participated in the Holy Grail War again. Not only did he conspire with Gilgamesh to kill Tokiomi, but he also kidnapped Irisviel again midway, and The "Holy Grail Instrument" is in your own hands...

For Kotomine Kirei, it is not surprising at all that he would do such a thing. It can even be said that it is a natural action that should be taken.

Emiya Kiritsugu hated himself for letting down his guard. He subconsciously felt that Kirei Kotomine had lowered his attention to him because he had withdrawn from the Holy Grail War. It was also because another dangerous person appeared out of the blue and attracted all his attention. force……

——The result is such a bad situation.

If he had been more vigilant and simply not adopted tonight's plan and kept Irisviel in Liudong Temple, the situation would have been much better... But now is not the time to regret it.

After knowing that Kotomine Kirei has become an enemy, no matter how powerful the opponent is, as long as he is sure that he must challenge him, then Emiya Kiritsugu cannot fear, cannot hate, neither despise nor be merciful. There is only one thing to rule out.

The main part of the Fuyuki Civic Hall is the large concert hall covering the first to third floors.

Emiya Kiritsugu entered from the back door and walked towards the concert hall as the end point, walking slowly with decisive and light steps. Because he knew that Kotomine Kirei should be somewhere in this people's hall, waiting for his arrival.

Lancer should be able to hold Gilgamesh outside for a while, and as long as he is in this building, he can't be so crazy that he kills all the new Masters with their Noble Phantasms... So, there should still be a chance. Opportunity.

At the same time, Kirei Kotomine, who had been notified by Gilgamesh, was walking towards the corridor in the concert hall. His mood became more and more excited with every step he took, and he couldn't help but blurt out the blessing verse——

"The Lord revives my soul and guides me onto the right path. Even if I wander in the valley of death, I will not be afraid of the devil, because the Lord is with me..."

He really felt God's blessing and couldn't wait to crush that man's ideals and hopes with his own hands, seeing the despair and pain on his face.

Kotomine Kirei was born without knowing what "happiness" is. He would do his best to study whatever he came into contact with, but in the end he found that he could not get even a little happiness from it. For this reason, he continued to pursue the meaning of his life.

He originally thought that Emiya Kiritsugu, a man who worked hard for his ideals and vowed to become the savior of mankind, could understand and make himself understand, but now Emiya Kiritsugu's justice made him feel disgusted, and even I feel betrayed...

In addition, Gilgamesh inspired him and allowed him to face his twisted viciousness calmly, so he not only hated Emiya Kiritsugu for this, but also planned to take action to crush the other person's meaningless ideals and taste the other person's taste. of despair and pain.

The two old enemies moved forward silently, marching high-spiritedly, as if they had a tacit understanding, heading towards the duel without hesitation, and finally met on the first floor as a matter of course.

Emiya Kiritsugu saw the slender figure wearing a robe, while Mine Kirei saw the black coat of his old enemy. The light of the black key held by the representative of the church reflects the light of the magic gun barrel in the hand of the magician killer.

Both of them were aware of each other's murderous intent and had already realized it.

"You should know, right? Emiya Kiritsugu, there are four places in Fuyuki City that have the spiritual energy suitable for summoning the Holy Grail. The first one is naturally Mount Enzo, which is the best spiritual energy in this land——"

Without taking action immediately, Kotomine Kirei was the first to break the silence, as if talking to himself in the dim and cold air.

"Even because the overflowing magic power was too strong and caused danger, the Tohsaka family voluntarily gave up there and chose the current Tosaka residence, which is the second spiritual line, as a base..."

"I know, but Enzo Mountain is now occupied by that magician." Emiya Kiritsugu replied calmly. "So you don't have many choices. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to determine your location so quickly."

"Yes, the second spiritual place is my teacher's home, and the third spiritual place is where Fuyuki Church is now located. However, these two places are not suitable for arranging ceremonies. The only choice is here. …”

Kotomine Kirei explained expressionlessly that he did not choose this place casually, but for a serious reason.

Not all places are qualified to summon the arrival of the Holy Grail. Even if he obtains the "Holy Grail Vessel", Kotomine Kirei must complete the summoning ritual at one of the locations that meet the conditions.

The other three places are not suitable, only the People's Guild Hall in Xindu -

As the source of modulated magic power flowing out of the three spiritual veins after being processed by magic, it was accumulated and gathered at one point over more than a hundred years, which is the spiritual land that emerged later. Since the beginning of the Third Holy Grail War, it has been confirmed that this place also has the spiritual power to perform rituals, so this place has also been marked as a candidate site.

"What do you want to say?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked in a deep voice.

"I'll tell you straight away, the Holy Grail is up there, and it's within easy reach..." Kirei Kotomine thought about the script he wrote, and then said, "Let's have a fair fight, if you can survive , then the Holy Grail belongs to you."

"Are you qualified to distribute the Holy Grail?" Emiya Kiritsugu sneered. If it weren't for the fact that he was not sure of killing with one strike, he would not want to talk nonsense with the opponent at all.

It's a pity that Kotomine Kirei is not a professional magician, his magic circuit has not been fully developed, he does not know how to use magic in battle, and the Origin Bullet has no effect. In addition, the cassocks he wears are all made of thick Kevlar fiber, and are watertightly framed with protective charms specially made by the church's agents, which can protect against bullets and curses.

For an ordinary pistol, it cannot penetrate even at extremely close range, and even the specially modified firearms in Emiya Kiritsugu's hands have limited threats. In addition, he does not have unlimited ammunition, so he must cherish a few Many attack opportunities.

"What do you think? The King of Heroes has already shown you his Noble Phantasm in person. You should know what kind of power it is. And as the supervisor of the church, the only thing I don't lack is the command spell..."

Kotomine Kirei rolled up his sleeves, revealing the dense tattoos on his arms——

"In the face of absolute power, all plans are just a joke. Even Liudong Temple will be destroyed by the power of such a noble phantom. That group of people is no longer a threat..."

Putting down his sleeves, he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu in front of him: "And I don't pursue the Holy Grail, and the King of Heroes doesn't mind rewarding you with the Holy Grail... The prerequisite is that you have to defeat me before you can get it."

"Then why don't you kill the people at Ryudouji Temple first and let the Holy Grail come... It's not very convincing for you to call me over at this time." Emiya Kiritsugu said without changing his expression.

"The King of Heroes originally planned to do this, but the people at Liudong Temple did not seem to gather together tonight. The King of Heroes was unwilling to take action twice, so he planned to keep the mad dog alive for the time being."

The priest told Gilgamesh's rants very honestly, and also told his reasons very honestly, with a certain malicious pleasure.

"In addition, I can't wait to see you in despair, so the King of Heroes said that I can take command first and let me enjoy this happiness... So it is a pity that you have bad luck. Woolen cloth."

"..."

"..."

"What should I do?" Emiya Kiritsugu tried his best to calm down.

"It's very simple. The King of Heroes doesn't want to get involved with the clown. If he really wants to touch you, you can't get in here at all, so there is no need to let Lancer attract attention. Now use your command spell to order him to commit suicide. Well..." Kotomine Kirei said coldly, "Then just duel with me."

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly frowned.

"What's there to hesitate about? Do you really think Lancer has any chance of winning? You can't do anything with him. Don't hold on to those unrealistic expectations. On the contrary, this opportunity is your best chance. A choice that might lead to the Holy Grail..."

Just as Kotomine Kirei was sure, this man would definitely take the bait, because he only knew how to measure human life by quantity, so the calculation of possibilities was absolutely simple and direct.

Nothing can be done if Lancer is left alone, which is a situation that is destined to fail. But if I believe what Kotomine Kirei said, there is still a certain possibility... In addition, he has clearly seen Gilgamesh's strongest power. Trump card——

Emiya Kiritsugu knew very well that even if he did nothing, the Lancer outside would very likely die in the next second and would not be able to play any role at all. He might as well just trust Kotomine Kirei.

The Magician Killer looked at the command spell in his hand, and then made a quick decision, and activated the Master's last mandatory command as Lancer.

…

…

There is no warning, no veins and gorgeous vermilion, scattered all over the white snow.

Lancer stared blankly at the red lotus flower dripping from the red gun rod to the ground. No matter how hard it is to believe, it is his own blood, his own love gun pierced his heart.

It was none other than his own hands that thrust the tip of the spear into himself.

As he knelt down in a pool of his own blood, the arrogant and cold-hearted Gilgamesh, who was holding his hands in front of him, sneered. Lancer himself was unprepared for such a situation and was even shocked. He was the only one No.

He seemed to have expected this. After all, he had read Kotomine Kirei's script, and of course he understood that this was bound to happen... As a noble king, he should quietly appreciate the worthless death of the bastard.
