"Teacher, the guardian demon between the curses has been broken."
In the stairwell leading from the 22nd floor to the 23rd floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Fuyuki City, wearing a robe enhanced by protective magic, Kotomine Kirei was walking ahead to explore the way, while holding a civilized stick, doing
Tokiomi Tosaka, who was as relaxed and elegant as usual, followed closely behind, and at the end was Ryuunosuke Uyu, holding a ruby bracelet in his hand.
"Oh?" Tokiomi looked back at the half-broken gems on Ryunosuke's bracelet: "How many Command Seals of Emiya Kiritsugu were consumed?"
According to Tokiomi Tosaka's ideas, it is the most appropriate action to sit in Tosaka's house and command the disciples and the army of servants to attack remotely, unless the ancient king asks him to go out to fight with him.
An old mansion run by a magic family for generations can even be compared with the legendary magician's mage tower. If Tokiomi presided over the mansion, the magician killer would not even be able to get through the door.
"Only one command spell was consumed," Ryunosuke distinguished the protective magic and the golem corresponding to the broken ruby: "He seems to have some kind of magic that can enhance himself, and he is not interested in the teacher's collection. His own magic power
The reserves are also very large. I’m very sorry. This was a miscalculation on my part.”
"Well, it's acceptable, don't blame yourself." Tokiomi comforted his disciple.
Although this genius disciple persuaded himself to leave the mansion on the grounds that "it might consume three Command Seals from the Einzbern camp", Tokiomi was prepared to gain nothing. After all, he also had the title of Magician Killer.
Heard.
First, there is a blind spot detection spell that surrounds the mansion. If it is touched, the enemy will suffer a powerful magic blow that cannot be avoided unless a heroic spirit is summoned.
Next are the various magic rituals, materials and consumables stored in the Tohsaka family. If the infiltrator is greedy and touches them, he will be trapped in a cage that is extremely resistant to the influence of magic.
Then there is the army of ruby golems that will continue to consume the magician's magic power. They will continue to absorb the magician's magic power when attacked by magic until they are destroyed. Even Tokiomi himself cannot kill all these bulky guards before the magic power is exhausted.
Clean it up.
Finally, there was the big guy between the curses and the only assassin in the ambush. Even the serious Qi Li expressed his admiration for the trap arrangement. It seemed that this was the only one who made a great contribution in the end.
Only one of the five methods succeeded. Of course, this is also the reason why all the traps are set to "not deliberately target". A cunning beast may take the initiative to destroy the hunting trap, but it will never touch the one specially set for itself.

At this time, Tohsaka's master and apprentice had reached the twenty-third floor through the stairwell, but the stairs leading to the upper floor had been completely destroyed. Kotomine Kirei frowned slightly and turned around, trying to open the security door leading to the interior of the hotel.
.
At that moment, Qi Li suddenly waved his arm toward the empty space next to the security door, and at some point, three sharp weapons glowing with green light appeared on his empty fist.
"Ding--!"
This attack did not fail. Those magic rituals called "Black Keys" struck hard on some kind of hard object, but there was still nothing within the sight of the young priest.
Poof——
Kotomine Kirei, who was not surprised by this, immediately stopped his hand and turned around, changing the direction to slash. This time, there was a strange sound of cloth or paper being torn in the air. At the same time, a body covered with
Only the upper body of the deformed skeleton was visible in the translucent white cloth, and what Qili struck with his first strike just now was its huge and sharp pale claws.
"I heard that the 'Genius of the Clock Tower' is proficient in seance and alchemy. It seems that this is a special familiar created by him." Tokiomi Tosaka commented nonchalantly: "I was still wondering why all the previous floors were ordinary.
Magic traps and familiars of continental goods.”
This is obviously a wraith summoned through a spirit seance, and has been transformed by alchemy magic into a form that, although not very good in appearance, is very convenient for sneak attacks. But it is a pity that Kotomine Kirei did not participate in this war before
He is an excellent agent. To him, this hidden spirit of death is as conspicuous as the ink stains dripping on white paper.
"But at this level - teacher, be careful!" Ryunosuke watched as his senior brother completely dismantled the strange skeleton in just a few strokes. He was about to chime in with a few words of teasing, but suddenly thought of something and quickly raised his hands.
Puff puff!
More than a dozen invisible sharp claws attacked the three masters and apprentices, but they were all intercepted by the sudden appearance of the water curtain protective shield. They could neither go deeper nor withdraw. The attackers were also revealed under the water mist.
The appearance - a group of strange skeletons with the same shape as the one that was just demolished.
"Well, so many words..." Ryunosuke muttered to himself distressedly, and waved his hands to continue supporting the protective magic composed of water curtains.
"Teacher, please enter the hotel and leave it to us." On the other side, Qi Li has opened the door of the safe passage and summoned three black keys in his other hand, seemingly intending to continue killing those strange-looking creatures.
skeleton.
"You have done a good job, but there is no need to run away at this level." Tokiomi Tosaka raised the staff of civilization, and the huge ruby inlaid on it began to shine with dazzling light.
Qi Li was once an agent. Although he had mastered a lot of magic, he still habitually used fighting methods that could cause direct damage. However, Ryuzosuke did not study for a long time, although he was able to use the correct magic from theory.
In response, the casting speed often cannot keep up with the specific changes in actual combat.
Of course, this is just a small flaw, and it is your responsibility as a teacher to teach them how to make up for it.
The dazzling light on Tokiomi Tokiomi's cane illuminated the stairwell. In addition to the skeletons that had appeared, a few others hiding in the corners were also illuminated. The next moment, the light of the flame suddenly disappeared, but everyone
The red the skull is dyed becomes brighter.
"Let's go in. It seems that the core area of the magic workshop is up from here." Tokiomi turned around and put the civilized staff on the ground again.
boom!
Behind him, all the skeletons burned at the same time. After only two or three seconds, they were all reduced to ashes before they could do anything else.
154:32:o8
On the 32nd floor of the Hyatt Hotel, Kenneth was taking Sora and Weber to watch Tosaka Tokiomi's assault through the crystal ball.
In front of them, in addition to the crystal ball where they could see the three Tohsaka masters and apprentices moving at the moment, a three-dimensional point-line diagram of the magic nodes on the entire floor was also displayed in the air through projection magic.
It can be seen from this that every time they break through a hotel floor, they will immediately clean up all the magic spells and familiar summoning arrays on that floor, and only go up again after confirming that they cannot be reused. Although this behavior increases the time, it also
Making the planned front and rear flanking attacks impossible to realize.
And the three-dimensional point-line diagram that uses green and red to distinguish whether the magic node is invalid or not is slowly but steadily changing from red to green layer by layer.
"Ha, I thought he was a country magician, but I didn't expect him to be a magician." Sora looked at it casually and commented casually.
"His two students are not bad either. They were busy and even unhelpful at first, but now they are decent." Kenneth also nodded.
"Are we just going to watch them fight all the way up?" Seeing that the surveillance point of view in the crystal ball was changed again due to the destruction of surveillance magic, Weber couldn't help but ask: "In that case, wouldn't the Magic Workshop be meaningless?"
"If this is a regular magician confrontation, we have missed many opportunities to attack," Kenneth looked at Webb: "But this magic game has a special rule - that is, each participant has a
'Servants' who can have an overwhelming advantage over other participants, have you seen their servants appear along the way?"
"It doesn't seem like...they were the ones taking action personally along the way." Weber scratched his head.
"Before participating in anything, you must thoroughly analyze the information available. For example, these heroic spirits can transform into spirits and move regardless of space restrictions." Kenneth pointed to the three Tohsaka masters and apprentices displayed on the crystal ball: "They each
Destroying the protective magic of the first-floor workshop means that the heroic spirits they belong to can appear there without being affected."
"You don't know yet? Little Weber," Sora played with the silk hanging from his forehead with his fingers: "Those unlimited number of assassins have already attacked here once, although they have been weakened to the point that even Kenneth can hit three with one
level."
"Uh, Sora? I can still deal with a normal Assassin in one-on-one." The talented lecturer who was overthrown explained awkwardly.
"Hmph, I'm obviously complimenting you." Sola put the silk behind his ear: "And little Weber, didn't you notice that our servant is not here as well?"
"It seems so?" Weber looked around. Neither the big conqueror who liked to flick his forehead nor the serious and polite Lancer were here. Only Luna was around.
"They and Tokiomi Tokiomi's heroic spirit should be playing hide and seek in the hotel in their spiritual form." Kenneth pointed to his feet: "Even in the highly disturbed magic workshop, there will be a lot of confusion between the spiritual servants.
Sensed, once they materialize, they will immediately be attacked by our heroic spirits, unless they come to us directly without relying on the power of the heroic spirits - that is exactly my purpose."
"But could this be their plan?" Weber pointed at the three Tohsakas who had broken through another level in the crystal ball: "Let the not-powerful heroic spirits lure away Rider and 1ancer, and use their own magic abilities to fight.
Win or lose?”
"Haha, magic showdown? That's exactly what he wants. Kenneth will let them see the difference between the geniuses in the clock tower and the country magicians!" Sora sneered.
Although he wanted to remind his wife not to underestimate the enemy, he finally swallowed his words when he saw the expressions of agreement on both the teacher's and Luna's faces.
Well, even if he can't beat the official magician and the agent, the young man who has just learned magic can still deal with it himself.
