The Ultimate Lich King

The moment he heard Kenneth say this, Kotomine Rizheng couldn't help but want to laugh. After this former child prodigy was crippled, his brain was also damaged, right?

"I heard you right, Mr. Kenneth, you came here for the Command Seal. Does that mean you want to get the Command Seal on my arm?"

As Riko Kotomine said this, he showed his arms to Kenneth, and the densely packed command spells shone with scarlet edges in the dim light.

Seeing so many Command Seals, Kenneth had a greedy look on his face. He nodded excitedly, with an expression like that of a madman.

"I'm sorry, I did say that the command spell will be used as a reward for destroying the illegal Servant, but the reward has already been distributed to the Master of Einzbern. As far as I know, your Lancer has not made any achievements in destroying the illegal Servant. Bar?"

Kotomine Rizheng said this in a mocking tone, causing Kenneth to clench his fists again.

"You can't say that. My Lancer successfully stopped the Servant from committing murder near Matou's house that night, right?"

"I'm very sorry. I didn't see your Servant appear that night. The ones who stopped the illegal Servant were Mr. Ye Yu of Einzbern and the Master of the Matou family."

As Kotomine Ri said this, Kenneth showed a very surprised expression.

"How...how is it possible, Lancer didn't show up?!"

Kenneth remembered that he clearly ordered him to stop Saber that night. Why didn't that guy show up?

That pedantic guy must have seen Saber fighting Caster and didn't take action because of his ridiculous chivalry, right?

What a bastard! asshole! The ultimate bastard!

Why would I summon a Servant like this!

"Okay, don't play this kind of game anymore. I'm sorry, Mr. Kenneth, but you are not qualified to obtain the Command Seal. Please go ahead. I need to rest."

Kotomine Rizheng said this, with a posture of seeing off guests. Kenneth showed an unwilling look on his face and wanted to say something, but Kotomine Rizheng ignored him at all.

"There's nothing we can do about this."

Kenneth sighed, then took out the pistol hidden in the wheelchair seat and aimed it at the priest who had turned around.

The dry gunfire broke the silence of the temple of God.

"Since you refuse to give me the Command Seal, I have no choice but to get it myself."

A frightening and crazy smile appeared on Kenneth's face, and he stared in fascination at the pattern of stigmata engraved on the back of Kotomine Rimasa's right hand.

So many Command Seals, so many...as long as you have them, this Holy Grail War will definitely be victorious!

This was the reason why Kenneth asked Lancer to stay outside and not come in. From the beginning, he planned to kill Kotomine Rimasa directly to seize the Command Seal.

Now go cut off his arm first...

The assassination of the supervisor will definitely cause a sensation, but in this Holy Grail War, the magician who likes to use small props such as pistols has others besides himself. The first person to be named as a suspect will be the dirty rat from the Matou family.

Kenneth couldn't suppress the smug smile welling up in the back of his throat. He was immersed in the ecstasy of being qualified as a Master again. For the assassination of the supervisor, an act that destroyed the dignity and pride of the Elumeroy family, there was no thought of self-blame.

But just as he was about to push the wheelchair and walk over, there was a noise from behind.

Kenneth's expression suddenly changed. He knew who it was. It must be Kotomine Kirei, the son of Kotomine Rimasa, the Master of Assassin in this Holy Grail War.

"Damn it... I have to give up the command spell."

Reluctantly looking at the body of Kotomine Rimasa lying there, Kenneth pushed the wheelchair and quickly left the church.

◇

Because of the failure of the plan, Kenneth's expression never softened. After returning to the dilapidated factory where they were hiding with Lancer, they were surprised to find that Sora was missing.

"Did you go out to search because you were worried about Mr. Kenneth?"

Lancer said in surprise and Kenneth frowned.

It was obviously unreasonable for Sora to go looking for him. He and Lancer disappeared together. Sora should have contacted Lancer directly if he wanted to find him.

"Owner."

After a long silence between the master and the servant, Lancer suddenly called Kenneth in a cold voice.

"What happened? Do you know where Sora went?"

"...That's not what I mean. It seems like something is approaching us. It's probably the sound of an engine with an automatic drive."

Kenneth didn't hear anything though. However, the hearing of ordinary people is far from comparable to that of a Servant.

It was almost dawn, and there was no way that the motor vehicle driving towards this abandoned factory was just passing by.

Thinking about it carefully, when he decided to use this place as his base, the camouflage barrier he had imposed around him was about to show its flaws... Kenneth smiled dryly while laughing at himself who was no longer a magician. .

"Lancer, attack immediately and defeat it. No mercy."

"clear."

Lancer nodded, immediately transformed into a spirit and disappeared.

As Lancer disappeared, Kenneth's majestic posture and expression were instantly shattered.

Bitterness...full of bitterness climbed onto his unsatisfied and ferocious wrinkled face.

He was once a magic genius, and he was called a child prodigy, but now he has become like this, a waste that can't even release magic!

"Emiya Kiritsugu!" He clenched his hands into fists and beat the armrests of his wheelchair fiercely. Kenneth vented his resentment.

"You rabid dog! You are the scum of magicians!"

Da, da, da... The sudden sound made Kenneth, who was in a state of madness, suddenly wake up, clatter... something was thrown to the ground.

"Who? Who is there?" Lancer had just gone out to meet the enemy, how could someone sneak into his side?

Click, the visitor didn't seem to hide his murderous intention at all, and the sound of firearms and bullets being loaded seemed unusually cold and clear in the darkness.
