[The King of the End] was defeated by [type-mars].
The residents of the Land of Steel knew the news almost instantly. Kirei Kotomine was walking on the streets of the settlement called "Uruk" and found that everyone was talking about it.
Although the battle between Gilgamesh and Caster took place in the air and could be seen by many people, it did not allow these residents to describe the battle as vividly as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes - and were willing to share it with others.
"Tosaka, do you know? The battle of the 'King'..."
"I know, get me five eight-link twin crystals."
"Ah, it's Tosaka, did you hear that 'type-mars' also announced that he will be the king——"
"I've heard about it a long time ago. There are three dragon teeth and three phoenix feathers. Hurry up."
"Tosaka Tosaka~The big bad guy is coming to Uruk——"
"Shut up! Take the money! Hand over the Saint Quartz!"
Tokiomi Tosaka was accosted by merchants while shopping. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and kidnapped the girl in the alchemy shop and used the alchemy table skillfully.
Sure enough, this inherent barrier was made by Caster for fun, Kotomine Kirei, who was standing in the distance, thought as he looked at the "Alchemy 1" popping up on Mr. Tokiomi's head from time to time.
In the world called "Steel Earth", the main combat power is various types of firearms that ordinary people can master, but the high-end combat power is still the heroic spirits summoned by the mysterious side. There are also products of the mysterious side such as alchemy.
However, because this is just a projection of that world, no heroic spirits will be summoned, and all enemies are fakes projected by caster.
The fact that you can "level up" through exercise, and that the alchemy system is the same as the original world but has its own unique approach, is clearly set up to attract the attention of the young Tokiomi. Mr. Tokiomi is now completing tasks to obtain currency.
, and then buying alchemy materials to practice alchemy, it looks like you are addicted to the game.
Kirei has also seen those alchemical formulas and principles. Although they are completely correct, they all require the use of various materials dropped by the "monsters of Gaia" that are special products of the Steel Land.
Therefore, this knowledge will be useless unless Tokiomi-sensei reaches the source and travels to the true Land of Steel.

"Then why didn't you stop him? Such a senseless thing."
The voice of the Ancient King sounded from behind, along with the heavy footsteps of powered armor.
"Because it is indeed knowledge. You can use it as long as you find their substitutes in reality." Kirei turned around and looked at the huge golden power armor in front of him: "What are you doing?"
This kind of bulky thing is obviously a reference to ancient armor. Because the protective measures are so strengthened that the wearer cannot move at all with his own strength, it has to be a strange product with a built-in power system. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it will never work when worn.
Comfortable, and Gilgamesh actually——
"Whether it is performing meaningless actions with interest or observing others performing meaningless actions, it is all 'entertainment' that obtains 'pleasure'," accompanied by a golden light scattered, the oldest man in casual clothes
The king appeared in a posture standing on the broad shoulders of the power armor: "What is your expression? Do you think I will get into this kind of thing?"
Rather than actually getting into it, controlling the power armor in a spiritual form means pretending to be inside...well.
"This is just the power armor used by the first generation leader of Uruk. The style is two generations behind. It is just a symbol and there is no need to wear it." Kirei thought for a while and changed his words.
"I am the 'First Lord of Uruk'!" Gilgamesh suddenly shouted.
"Wow -" "It's the king!" "Golden!" A group of children suddenly poured out from the surrounding alleys and surrounded the "first-generation leader power armor". They couldn't see Gil, who was deliberately hidden.
Gamesh simply admired the huge power armor.
The most ancient king, maintaining a standing posture on his shoulders, commanded the armor under his feet to make various movements, causing bursts of cheers.
Kirei looked around. Many adults were watching here. Maybe this new "king" was gaining their trust, but as he said himself, this kind of thing is meaningless as long as it leaves the inherent barrier.
.
"[Commander, 'Nippur' is being besieged by the lizard demi-humans and hopes to be rescued]" A serious man's voice came out from the golden power armor, and he looked so powerful that the children around him were so scared that they left the old building.
Far.
"Humph, I understand." The golden power armor raised his arm and turned off the sound. The next moment, Gilgamesh standing on his shoulders disappeared, and the armor was pushing the children away for a distance.
Then it also took off into the sky.
This kind of alarm has not stopped since Uruk incorporated several surrounding settlements into its territory. From the attacks of Yalibai species and demihumans to the nuisance of bandits and bandits, and even the threat of mutated beasts, everything has been pushed to Gilga
Meish's head, but this ancient king was not angry, but was happy to solve them one by one.
Hmm...observing other people's meaningless actions...is definitely not a pleasant experience.
————
If you think about it carefully, this world is perfectly self-consistent. It is obviously not made up by Caster on a whim, but is indeed a projection taken from a certain future, as Assassin once reported.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the barrier did not disappear after Caster was defeated by Gilgamesh, Caster did not have the authority to change the content of this world at will. She probably deliberately strengthened the duration of the inherent barrier before disappearing.
Ordinary inherent barriers will cause the unfolder to run out of magic power and disappear in two or three minutes at most, but Rider's King's Army is powered by all the heroic spirits included in it, so it can almost remain open if there is no battle. Caster's
Although the "projection" is not that exaggerated, it has lasted for at least three hours, so it must be the internal self-consistent world itself that powers it.
Therefore, the actions of Tokiomi-sensei and the King of Heroes that drastically changed the world situation will definitely lead to its collapse - did the two of them have thought about this a long time ago?
However, even if Caster can project things that will attract them, there is absolutely nothing he can do about it. 'Eliminating all the pain and misfortune in the world' is not something that can be done easily...
【You are the one who loves me.】
Um?
Kirei's thoughts were interrupted for a moment, and then he realized that he had rushed into an alley on the side of the road uncontrollably. The change in the surrounding environment awakened his vigilance as a member of the burial agency.
For the reason that made him do this, Kirei turned his attention to the end of the alley, where a slim white figure disappeared around the corner.
That's - no!
Anger replaced the inexplicable emotion that Kirei had previously felt. He transformed into six black keys without hesitation and quickly chased in that direction.
How dare you? How dare you!
The figure did not hide deliberately. The exit of the alley was a section of the settlement's city wall, and "she" was standing on the gap in the city wall, looking out.
go to hell!
Using wonderful footwork, Kotomine Kirei stepped onto the city wall silently in the blink of an eye. The black keys completely absorbed the sound of wind breaking through the air, while the priest's cassock blocked any friction sound caused by the movement. This is
What he had never achieved before as the agent was the most perfect shadow attack that combined all physical skills and magic.
call--
However, it failed.
The figure who easily dodged the attack and jumped up the wall turned around.
Her pale shorts reveal a delicate face and a pair of eye-catching golden eyes. She is wearing a pure white and weird tights decorated with dark blue stripes. The whole person looks extremely thin, as if it can be blown away by a gust of wind.
.Although he had just been attacked by Kirei, he showed no expression of anger or fear, and just looked at him quietly.
【You are the one who loves me.】
"Who are you!" Kotomine Kirei shouted, but held the black keys tighter in his hand.
"Claudia Ordesia," the slender woman replied in a tone that was completely smooth: "She is here with the rank of Assassin."
【Who are you--】
"Hehehe - go to hell!" Completely ignoring the fact that the existence in front of him could crush himself as a mortal, Kotomine Kirei waved the Black Key and rushed over again.
【——Love me.】
In order to contain his own side, the caster actually made a completely targeted arrangement in the inherent barrier. Even Tokiomi-sensei and the King of Heroes fell into the trap, but unfortunately, the information about him was completely wrong!
Tsk-tsk-
The black keys no longer cover up the sound of breaking through the sky. All magic and physical skills are used for offense without any intention of defense. Kirei seems to be willing to be seriously injured or even die to kill the woman in front of him who calls himself Assassin.
However, as a heroic spirit, the female Assassin, who should be able to counter him easily, simply dodged and kept looking at Kirei's appearance carefully.
Perhaps Caster could find out from the Holy Church that his wife died due to a bandit attack, and further find out from the secret files that she committed suicide in front of him, so he made up a story about how she was summoned as a heroic spirit.
Illusions to confuse myself.
But! That’s not the truth at all! The so-called “facts” in the secret files were deliberately made to be understood and recorded by them! Only agents with weaknesses are willing to control and use them!
Kirei participated in the siege of the 16th Dead Apostle and achieved great results by chance. Therefore, he was retaliated by the guy who escaped with serious injuries - Claudia Ordesia, his seriously ill wife
She was infected and became a Death Apostle, and the "suicided" body found by the Holy Church was just a forgery left behind before she left.
"Now, caster, do you want to tell me that that half-human, half-bird monster can also be transformed into a heroic spirit?!" Exhausted due to the failure to pursue the assassin with all his strength, Kotomine Kirei pointed the black key in his hand at the self-proclaimed Kashira.
Lautea Ordesia's assassin was thrown - and there was no doubt that it missed.
"Ah, so you are referring to the third one," Assassin, who used the appearance of his wife, suddenly said something that made Kirei tremble: "But I am the ninth one."
"What do you mean..." Kirei asked cautiously.
"The souls of 'Bai Zi' will not disappear with death. They will be transferred to other 'Bai Zi' bodies, losing part of their memory each time." Assassin tilted his head: "The fourth and fifth ones are both for protecting them.
A little girl died after being attacked by the Sixteenth Apostle. I don't remember if they remember you, but you should always know whether you took care of your daughter."
Kirei was stunned. His wife once said that she was a "white child". At that time, she thought it was the name of her disease. Later, she understood its actual meaning and didn't think much about it.
After her death, he was heartbroken and left his daughter in the care of his father, but his father needed to stay at Fuyuki Church permanently, so——
"I'm not 'her'," Assassin revealed her precious phantom, which was a serrated dagger flashing with electric light: "But if you plan to die in her hands for 'atonement', I can do it for you."
Kirei slowly shook his head. It seemed that she regarded herself as a heroic spirit in this world. After all, this was a long time in the future, but for him, "now" still had time to change.
"Assassin~ Where are you?" A girl's call came from outside the city wall: "If you don't come out, I will use the command spell~"
Kirei watched the heroic spirit who should be his wife's sixth reincarnation put away the dagger, nodded slightly, turned around and jumped off the city wall, not daring to see what her current master looked like.
As long as we go back and verify after the war is over, we will know that this is not a trick played by Caster.
Kotomine Kirei thought.
If Lin Hao is also brought, "she" may be very happy.
