On the edge of Fuyuki's old town, there is a semi-abandoned ranger's hut. Emiya Kiritsugu is standing on the observation tower looking towards the mountainous area. The huge ice mirror is vaguely visible.
"Ummmm, ahhhh..." saber·a1ter was busy eating and didn't pay attention to Kiritsugu's analysis. After they met, she claimed that she needed to replenish her magic power due to excessive use of the Noble Phantasm. She has always been like this, completely
Don't absorb the surging magic power fluctuations in Kiritsugu's magic circuit - in fact, Kiritsugu has only devoted the magic power to maintain her reality since the summoning.
It is said that this ranger cabin, which is only used for one season a year and has no house number or street name, can be found by fried chicken and hamburger takeaways. In a sense, they are really amazing.
"Then...what is the plan?" In the end, Kuu Maiya couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to ask.
"The original plan was because he discovered a way to reappear the Assassin, and planned to invade the mansion when they caused chaos and take away the Assassin he called Emile. Even if he accidentally encountered the Archer on the way, he would only lure away the Rider.
, the plan itself has not been modified too much.”
Kiritsugu pointed in the direction of the mansion, with a look of understanding in his tone.
"Then why was it modified?" Maiya didn't see the next scene. She left the observation post because she was discovered by the assassin, and when she summoned her familiar again to investigate, Kiritsugu had already returned.
"Because that method of reappearance has obvious flaws," Kiritsugu frowned, thinking of the assassin holding his legs and emitting extremely dangerous magic fluctuations. If Caster hadn't saved him, he would have been seriously injured at least: "They
It will self-destruct before being destroyed, or it can be triggered actively."
"But it won't help save Emil."
"Yes, if that's all, it's just multiple attack methods, but after they explode, they will leave a lot of magic power. Kotomine Kirei used this to change the plan to using Kenneth Kobo's defensive barrier to overflow the spiritual veins
, man-made magic tide is created, and under that kind of magic wave, it is almost impossible for anyone except the servants to survive."
Kiritsugu glanced at the female swordsman in black skirt below: "He even borrowed Saber's power."
"So what's the situation now? After the rider rushed down, there was nothing in the mansion or nearby?" Maiya switched the perspective of several familiars one after another. Except for the leaving golden Kaifu, nothing was found near the mansion.
It's empty, but as long as the reconnaissance familiar comes close to those ice mirrors, the magic connection will disappear directly.
"Kirei has become a 'general'. It just depends on how Kenneth and the others will deal with it, hiding in the inherent barrier." Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes and looked at Golden Kashu: "Unlike the intelligence, he has found his wish, and
becomes more dangerous.”
At least I still have to worry about the opinions of Lin Hao and Caster, so I can't do too much, right...
"Wait a while and then retreat. Tokiomi Tokiomi's next target may be us."

The inherent barrier uses the caster's "mental landscape" to rewrite reality, which is the magic closest to "magic".
Its form cannot change on its own, because the scene reflected within the inherent barrier is the real inner scenery of the caster, or the "origin".
For example, Iskandar's "King's Army" was jointly constructed by himself and all the soldiers under his command. Because his eyes are full of battles and nothing but conquest, the scene of the inherent barrier is naturally the vast desert.
If it were a person who was thoughtful, complex, wise and almost demonic, his inherent barrier would probably be a huge palace with countless rooms, and each room would contain a large amount of trivial information waiting to be retrieved when needed.
Since the existence of the inherent barrier violates the laws of the world, even the most powerful magician can only maintain it for a few minutes. However, during this period of time, the caster within the barrier will almost have his wishes come true.
"Provoke...run!"
"Eh? Emil, can you speak?" Sora heard Emil suddenly speak, and was surprised when he leaned over and touched his head.
"Ke... ki11 me!" Emil seemed to be restrained by something and was completely unable to move. Although his face was still expressionless, anxiety and fear could be heard from just these few words.
"What? Who wants to kill you?" Sora was furious, raising his hand and pointing at the besieged assassins, "Is it them? Rider, destroy them immediately!"
"Eh?" "Oh, I really can't do anything - do it."
Weber watched in astonishment as his servants listened to Sora's instructions, and the assassins who were originally powerful crossbows were no match for the Macedonian soldiers, and were killed one after another and turned into golden light spots.
[With the command spell, Emil infuses himself with the power of all seventy-two other ordinary incarnations]
As Kirei's voice resounded throughout the desert, the scattered light spots after the Assassins were killed suddenly merged into Emil's body like an ocean containing hundreds of rivers, and then two unknown points ignited on the kitten mask she wore crookedly on her forehead.
of red light.
【again--】
"Ha! How can you be allowed to give orders casually?" Iskandar raised his dagger toward the sky: "Get out!"
[…Command with the Command Seal…] Kirei’s voice became choppy.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The warriors of the king's army roared vigorously to support their king.
[——Command Emil to create a usable assassination-type Noble Phantasm! 】
As a result, the remaining command spells were suddenly read out at a very high speed.
"Don't waste your efforts. Since it can break through your inherent barrier and issue instructions to Emil, it means that your barrier does not exclude forced orders and assassinations. If you stop it, it will only delay time. It is better to see what the other party wants to do.
Make a response." Kenneth slowly backed away while protecting Sora behind him.
"Ah, that seems to be the case..." Rider touched the back of his head and directed the soldiers to protect the three masters and surround Emil.
Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak!
Assassin, who was in the form of a little girl, ignored the soldiers. She took out a round black object out of thin air and threw it on the ground. Then the object deformed and reorganized itself, eventually turning into a giant crossbow fixed on a shelf.
"Caster, what is that... eh?" Although it was confirmed that it was a Noble Phantasm from the magic power fluctuations, Weber couldn't recognize what it was. When he turned to ask the Winter Saint, who seemed to be well-informed, he was surprised.
An expression that she thought was impossible appeared on her face - stunned.
"That... that's that... Zhuge Liannu, yes, Zhuge Liannu." Caster noticed that Weber was asking, so he answered absentmindedly: "As the most famous bow and arrow, it is not unusual for it to become a treasure, and because it is
It’s made in batches, so there’s no limit to who can use it, anyone can use it, well, that’s it.”
"I always feel like something is wrong..." Although Weber was still confused, the next command spell had already appeared.
[For the third time with the Command Seal, Emil used the Noble Phantasm to kill Kenneth Elmloy Archibald.]
At the same time as the command sounded, Emil involuntarily took a step towards Zhuge Liannu, while 1ancer immediately stood in front of Kenneth.
But what is surprising is that when the little girl was about to touch the handle of the crossbow, she withdrew her hand with difficulty, and the people who paid attention to her movements saw an illusion at the same time.
——Kenneth is directing a group of alchemy familiars to decorate the room. Although there is no sound, it can be seen from his constant command and the familiars smoothing the edges of the furniture, laying soft carpets on the floor, and setting up anti-collision pads on the walls.
, obviously to decorate a children's room.
"No." Emil said.
Just when Kenneth was relieved and about to say something, another command spell appeared.
[For the fourth time, Emil used the command spell to kill Sora Nazelle Sofiali using the Noble Phantasm.]
"What! Why are there more than three?!" Weber shouted in surprise.
"Hmph, just look at the actions of those assassins before. That's not what they can do on their own - 1ancer, go and protect the Queen!" Kenneth patted 1ancer's shoulder who was blocking him.
"No." Before 1ancer could make any move, Emil had already rejected the command spell, and then the same illusion appeared.
——Sola is gesturing to Emil with all the beautiful children's clothes in the room. Although he can't change out of the assassin costume, there is no problem in putting on an apron, a hat, and a shoulder bag. But every time he gives Emil
Sora would laugh out loud whenever she came up with a new look, which was completely different from her usual queen style.
"Eh... Sora, if you like children so much -" Before Kenneth could finish his words, he was hit by a fireball in the face and fell on his back.
[For the fifth time, Emil used the command spell to kill Waver Velvet using his Noble Phantasm.]
"Click." Emil directly pressed the handle of the repeating crossbow, and the arrow turned and aimed at Weber.
"Wow! Wait a minute, I take good care of you too, Emil." Weber exclaimed.
——In the illusion, Weber was holding a magic ball in his hand and gesturing at Emil, who was looking at him expressionlessly. He was still mumbling words. Finally, he deliberately missed the magic ball and walked away with a sigh.
"...no." Emil shot the arrow with a bang, but also missed.
"Little Wei Bo~ What did you do to Emil while we were away?" Sola came over eagerly.
So even though Emil rejected all command spells, two of the targets were still harmed.
"Rider, don't be ridiculous. Control those command spells. If you can't destroy them within your inherent barrier, you can at least weaken them." Caster sighed and walked over, starting to build ice around Emil.
Shield, no response: "After all, this is also the reason why your barrier allows Emil to understand the command spell. She is immune to this thing in the outside world."
"There is nothing we can do about it," Rider spread his hands: "After all, there are many warriors here who will follow me even if they are disabled. Deafness is just the most common one."
————
After that, as the command spells gradually stacked up, the expressions of Rider and Caster also became serious, because the magic contained in those command spells began to wrap around the little girl's body and try to interfere with her actions. Emil not only had to use his will to resist the control, but also
You have to try your best to stop your movements, but this effort is gradually becoming ineffective as the command spells are stacked.
[For the twentieth time, command with the command spell, Emil will return to me immediately after killing any target]
Bang! The mechanism repeating crossbow collapsed on its own with the appearance of this command spell, but Master and Disciple Kenneth, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard Emil's voice again.
"ki11 me..." The eyes of the kitten mask on the girl's forehead suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.
"[Chasing one's life with no hope of recovery—" Emil suddenly spoke a complete sentence, but his voice became extremely ethereal, as if this world did not exist.
Weber discovered that Caster was suddenly horrified and began to desperately strengthen the ice wall in front of the little girl.
Click, click, click. An icy blue heavy crossbow appeared in Emil's hand. She wound it with a blank look in her eyes, and the energy around her even pushed Caster aside. Weber looked at the three juxtaposed crossbows.
The sharp arrow gave me a bad feeling.
"Hey! Rider, please help! This is a blow strengthened by twenty command spells!"
Caster strengthened the ice wall again, turned around and jumped in front of Kenneth's master and apprentice, and unfolded an arc-shaped ice shield in front of them.
"Well..." Rider drove the Kamui wheel and landed in front of Weber with a solemn look, while Lancer and Luna also rushed to their master's side.
"[Fengwei Tianji·Life-Chasing Arrow!]"
Three rays of blue light that seemed to penetrate everything, as bright as the sun, shot straight towards the three Masters.
Ding! Ding! Puff! Puff!
"Teacher Kenneth? Sister Sola?" After recovering from temporary blindness, Weber hurriedly confirmed the conditions of Kenneth and Sola.
"Little Weber, I'm fine." "Me too...oh, hell."
The three crossbow bolts completely penetrated the ice wall and ice shield. Rider missed one and his arms are still shaking.
Luna's Noble Phantasm shield was completely penetrated, but she caught the arrow with her body.
As for 1ancer, when he tried to use the demon-breaking red rose to eliminate the magical enhancement on the crossbow arrow, he missed and was hit in the heart. However, because that was where the heroic spirit's magic core was, it did not completely penetrate his body, and the arrow came out backwards.
The tip was only inches away from Kenneth.
The shocked Weber seemed to hear Caster whisper something,
