Lost Narrative Poetry

In the Fuyuki Civic Hall, or to be precise, on the stage of the music auditorium, Irisviel's already cold body was lying.

Kotomine Kirei had no intention of letting her live. When he was notified by Gilgamesh and knew that Emiya Kiritsugu was coming, he had already strangled the woman to death, and then went to look for the person who entered the Minkaikan. Emiya Kiritsugu duels.

When the battle inside the People's Guild Hall and the battle outside the People's Guild Hall started at the same time, this woman, who was the "Guardian of the Vessel", had already lost signs of life, and the organs in her body had long since returned to the Holy Grail container. Shape--

Everything is ready, just waiting to recover the souls of the remaining Servants.

It didn't take long for the Holy Grail container to finally absorb the soul of the fourth Servant after Gilgamesh was beheaded.

Although it is cruel to say this, in terms of design concept, her body should have just begun to collapse at this stage. After all, the souls of four Servants have only been recovered.

It means that the Holy Grail War has just entered the later stage. The remaining three parties still need to go through a more cruel and intense fight with each other before they can decide the only winner in the end. Regardless of the actual needs of the ceremony, This is true for the rules of the Holy Grail War.

Irisviel was originally the first example of the Einzbern family's idea of ​​making the Small Holy Grail into a movable artificial human after absorbing the previous lessons - because the reason why the last Holy Grail War failed was because The Lesser Holy Grail was destroyed, causing the third ceremony to become a "voided competition."

Therefore, her responsibility is to at least persist until the final stage, and then summon the Holy Grail to prevent the Holy Grail from being destroyed in the front... But the reason why an accident is an accident is because there is no way to cover everything.

For example, if Irisviel is killed in advance and the "guardian of the weapon" no longer exists, then after absorbing the souls of four Servants, the nature of the "vessel" will naturally begin to be exposed... …

Just like now, because the sealing technique has lost its effect, the "instrument" is being summoned, and the core has gathered very powerful magic power, the aftermath has brought fatal scorching heat and high temperature to the surroundings.

This beautiful artificial human corpse was completely burned in an instant and turned into ashes. There was no trace of its former existence. Where her corpse once lay, A gold container made of inorganic substances appeared with dazzling golden light.

The moment it came into contact with the outside air, the scorching golden cup scorched the floor on the stage and the surrounding curtains, and the burning flames swept through the empty music auditorium.

On the stage where the fire was getting fiercer, the golden cup seemed to be held by a pair of invisible hands, floating in the air, surrounded by flames.

——The Holy Grail descending ceremony that the Yusan family dreamed of began quietly without even a priest presiding over the ceremony.

However, the arrival of the Holy Grail this time is obviously abnormal. What it brings is definitely not the power of hope to achieve all miracles, but the oldest evil, absolute evil, the total evil in the world.

The souls of the four Servants were recovered. Although they were not able to return to the Hall of Heroes immediately due to the strong binding force of the Holy Grail, they have been trying to return. This trend is like water flowing from high to low, and apples flowing from high to low. Falling from trees is common, so...

The engineering work of "perforating" the world has already begun at this moment.

The result is that the originally closed "door" has unknowingly appeared an invisible gap as thin as a hair. Through the small gap, something on the other side of the door quietly seeped into the Holy Grail.

That thing looks very similar to "black mud"... it is pure black, just black, like an "object" like soil.

The black mud that seeped into the Holy Grail suddenly dripped out, followed by another drop, and slowly turned into a thin black line, like a crack in a dam. After a while, the black wave transformed from malice overflowed the container and flowed to the floor of the stage.

The floor of the music auditorium is not strong enough to carry this dark thing, or there is no material in this world that can hold this thing.

The endless "malice" spreads, eroding everything around it, flowing deeper like melted snow seeping into the earth. This vicious whirlpool of power will evoke disasters and disasters, and will continue to spread malice until it destroys all humans who deserve to be cursed.

…

…

In the large prop warehouse below the music auditorium, the fateful battle between the two people is in full swing.

Emiya Kiritsugu was almost completely suppressed, and the situation was very unfavorable to him, because as a magician killer, he mainly used his understanding of magicians. Through the combination of magic and modern mainstream weapons, he could efficiently destroy a magician. A magician as a target.

But when facing Kotomine Kirei, almost all the advantages were lost——

He failed to set up a targeted plan in advance, failed to prepare various traps and ambushes on the battlefield, and did not have the support of Maiya in the distance or around him... Anyway, he had nothing, and could only be forced to fight with Kotomine Kirei. Just face each other, let's have a passionate fight with fists and fists.

Although Kotomine Kirei is a mentally twisted pervert, it must be said that his fighting ability is very terrifying by human standards——

Use the black key to throw in long-distance combat. A single throw including preparations can be completed within 0.3 seconds. It has been confirmed that the continuous throw can complete four consecutive throws within 0.7 seconds. It can also attack unconfirmed targets without any obstacles. , the power of this conceptual gift can penetrate iron bones.

For close combat, I learned the extremely powerful Chinese boxing technique "Bajiquan" from the old priest. Although the details are unknown, it is indeed at the master level. With the experience of bloody battles accumulated in the era of the agent, it has gradually sublimated into With the extremely terrifying human body destruction technique, Kotomine Kirei can even break trees with two strikes, which is extremely dangerous.

Coupled with the multi-stroke command spell on his arm, although the magic circuit has not been fully developed, it is very simple to use magic when Kirei Kotomine has the luxury of using the command spell as a disposable magic source.

And through this method of use, even a living human being can inflict effective damage to a Servant as long as he uses close to ten command spells.

In comparison, what does Emiya Kiritsugu have? The origin bullet's trump card does not cause too much damage to Kotomine Kirei, who is a half-hearted magician. Moreover, Kotomine Kirei's robe can withstand the bullet. In other words, even the kinetic energy and attack power of the bullet itself are affected. Defended to the maximum extent...

The moment Kirei Kotomine activated his magic, Emiya Kiritsugu seized the opportunity and used an origin bomb. He originally expected to destroy Kirei Kotomine with one blow, but in the end, it exploded in the opponent's hand. The black keys filled with magic power did not cause any harm to Kotomine Kirei himself.

Because Kotomine Kirei was not a real magician in the first place, and his magic circuit was not fully developed, he just used the preparatory command spell he received from his old father as a magic source to temporarily learn how to use magic.

Although the characteristics of the command spell determine that it is just a consumable that can be thrown away after use, in terms of results, it saved Kotomine Kirei's life - at the moment when the magic was activated and the origin bullet in contact with it took effect, The Command Seal, which was the source of magic power, disappeared from the arm of the agent.

This was not expected. Emiya Kiritsugu could not figure out why the origin bomb did not take effect. Mine Kirei did not know the characteristics of Emiya Kiritsugu's origin bomb at all, nor did he know that he had neutralized the opponent. The last resort.

One of the two people didn't know that his move was ineffective, and the other didn't know that he had been hit. The result was that the battle reached a stalemate again. Now the game has completely turned into a contest of "distance"——

Emiya Kiritsugu tried his best to keep the distance, giving himself time to reload ammunition and a chance to attack. His fighting style relied on bullets. Mine Kirei naturally pursued with all his might, closing the distance, hoping to blow off his old enemy's head with one punch.

Since the fighting styles of the two sides and the optimal distance for launching attacks are completely different, naturally they can only rely on their feet to fight each other.

It can be said that facing a devilish muscleman like Kotomine Kirei who has been trained to the extreme, the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu can only rely on the time magic of "Inherent Time Control" to persist until now.

It speeds up the flow of blood, the burning of hemoglobin, and the time it takes from the beginning to the end of muscle movement to demonstrate physical abilities that are impossible for ordinary people to achieve. Stop the past time, accelerate the future time, and speed up yourself.

Only in this way could he barely maintain a stalemate with Kotomine Kirei.

Of these two people, one relies on the high speed displayed by magic, destroying his own physical strength at all costs, and gaining a speed that is like cheating. Whether it is moving to dodge, loading ammunition, or launching an attack, his movements are almost dragging out of his body. film.

The other one is a ferocious muscle monster. He is obviously a living person, but he has trained himself into a terrifying murder weapon. A heavy step can cause the ground to crack. A punch with a fist is as powerful as detonating a bullet in the chest. A grenade can rupture the chest and smash the lungs and heart into a puddle of flesh.

No matter how you say it, the outcome is destined. Emiya Kiritsugu has no chance of winning. The only possibility is that the winner is Kotomine Kirei...

But the two of them were probably so focused that they didn't notice the thing that penetrated the ceiling and slowly dripped down.

The result was that at the moment when Emiya Kiritsugu's body reached its limit, Kotomine Kirei seized the opportunity and was about to use the Eight Great Moves of the Sky-reaching Cannon, and completely smashed his opponent's skull to pieces with an earth-shattering uppercut.

boom--! !

However, the ceiling collapsed at this moment, and both men were covered with black soil falling from their heads!

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know what happened, because after he opened his eyes blankly, the first thing that caught his eye was his wife's familiar voice and smile——

"I knew you would definitely come to accompany me, Kiritsugu. I believe that if it were you, you would definitely be able to get here."

She had a nostalgic kind face, but there was something else that made him feel a little wrong. Perhaps it was because she was wearing a black dress that he had never seen before.
