Aozaki Aoko has long discovered that someone is following her. Although Kuu Maiya disguises herself very well and can be said to be a textbook-level operation, as a magician, Aozaki Aoko relies on unscientific methods and is unreasonable.
of intuition.
Since someone is following him, he must have a plot. Considering that he was inexplicably involved in the Holy Grail War, the other party is likely to be another Master.
She lowered her head and glanced at the red mark on the back of her right hand. As expected, it probably revealed her identity as her master. If she had known earlier, she should have put on gloves. She was a little careless.
Her brain was spinning rapidly, and Aozaki Aoko soon decided to pretend that she didn't notice anything, and used herself as bait to find a secluded place to fish out the stalker. If he was just a simple magician, he would probably not be his opponent.
But who would have thought that what they were waiting for was sniping. Aren’t magicians very resistant to modern technology? When did magicians who can use sniper rifles appear? Ah, it’s really despicable!
Aozaki Aoko was very angry. Although on the surface she assumed a confident posture of waiting, she was still afraid in her heart. Regarding whether the self-discipline defense barrier could withstand large-caliber bullets from sniper rifles, she did not want to use herself as a guinea pig.
idea.
Under the [Strengthening] technique, Kuu Maiya was pulled out without leaving any time to react, and then punched her in the abdomen.
The nerves there were sensitive enough to make people faint, but at the same time, her strikes were very measured and did not cause too serious injuries to Kuu Maiya.
After getting rid of the little tail that was following her, her next target was the man who tried to snipe her. The distance of 500 meters was only two seconds for Aozaki Aoko who was bursting out with all her strength.
Emiya Kiritsugu on the top of the building was not too panicked. He opened the suitcase containing weapons. In the innermost compartment lay his secret weapon. It was a contender produced by Thompson/Center, made of walnut wood.
The finished gun clip and handle are embedded with a 14-centimeter-long gun body, which reminds people of a dagger in a sheath.
Except for the necessary trigger and firing pin, you can't even see the lines and barrel from the outside. The appearance is quite simple, similar to the gunpowder guns of the late Middle Ages.
Such a retro firearm may only have a collection value, but it was transformed by Emiya Kiritsugu using magic. This transformation was only to maximize its power.
There is also a special bullet placed in the box with the gun. The bullet is sealed with bone powder ground from Emiya Kiritsugu's ribs and sealed with spiritual techniques to form a ceremonial-like origin bullet. It is also his
Confidence and trump card against magicians.
Most magicians have only one origin, but Emiya Kiritsugu has the composite attributes of "cutting" and "joining", forming his unique origin, which is where his name comes from.
"Cut" and "Si" represent destruction and regeneration respectively. Of course, its origin is not simply destruction and repair. The act of "cutting and inheriting" will cause irreversible deterioration of the object.
The origin bullet seals the concept of "cut and succeed", and being hit will make this concept concrete. If the object hit is a magician who is releasing magic, his magic circuit will become fragmented.
Then they are connected irregularly, and then lose the ability to move. The lethality depends on how many magic circuits are activated by the target at the moment it hits the target.
Of course, the effect of the original bullet is not irresistible. You only need to use purely physical means. But when facing the 30.06mm large-caliber sniper bullet, except for those who can survive in armored vehicles, other defenses will be defeated.
………
Emiya Kiritsugu took out the contender from the box. Nine years had not made him feel unfamiliar. The familiar walnut handle was still the same as it was nine years ago. He quietly closed his fingers, allowing the frequency of the gun and his hand to match.
The gun becomes an extension of your arm.
He filled the bullet into the magazine neatly, and then flicked his wrist to close the barrel of the gun. His movements were smooth and smooth, without any jerky feeling.
He inserted the prepared contenter into his waist, and then began to check the other firearms at hand. The girl looked very powerful. The origin bomb must be used at the critical moment to ensure that it can kill with one hit, just like the latent
Like a poisonous snake.
After completing the inspection, he breathed out softly and waited quietly for the girl's arrival.
boom--!
In the firelight and shock wave, the iron door on the rooftop twisted and flew out, looking like a sieve. The small steel balls carrying huge kinetic energy almost turned the stairwell into ruins.
This is a sign that the induction mine placed there by Emiya Kiritsugu has been triggered. There is no room to dodge in the narrow staircase. Of course, this is just his test method. If he is killed in the explosion, forget it. Only by breaking through the explosion
Magicians are the toughest opponents.
Sure enough, the roaring hurricane ruthlessly tore apart the spreading smoke, and Aozaki Aoko walked out with a smile as bright as a flower. This was a sign of her extreme anger.
If Mikael were here, he would suggest to Emiya Kiritsugu to quickly find a feng shui treasured place to bury himself, so as not to turn his whole body into ashes and have to erect a tomb.
Seeing Aoko Aozaki arrive here intact, Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was calm. Only a magician of this level is worthy of using the origin bomb. The layer of azure magic light covering the body should be as expected.
It's a defensive barrier. It's necessary to test the girl's strength before deciding when to use the origin bomb.
He had just raised his submachine gun, and before he could pull the trigger, his field of vision was filled with overwhelming magic bullets. Although [magic bullets] were only the most basic magic power, their power was about the same as that of a large-caliber pistol.
But these magic bullets in front of me are no less than magic in quality.
What's more important is that the overwhelming numbers leave him no room to dodge. If he is hit, his body will definitely turn into ashes instantly.
"timealter el(Inherent time control double speed)!"
In times of crisis, the body responded first than the brain. Emiya Kiritsugu recited a spell and pulled out the contextr from his waist. The world in his eyes slowed down, and he quickly shuttled through the gaps between the magic bullets, approaching.
In front of the girl.
【Is it possible to manipulate time through magic?】
Feeling the familiar aura, a trace of doubt flashed in Aozaki Aoko's eyes, but it did not affect her next attack at all. Facing the magician who wanted to kill her, she had no intention of holding back.
"star mine——"
The magic formula spreads from her right elbow to the front of her fingers. This is her latest magic technique, which can maximize her strength. It is no exaggeration to say that this blow can easily knock down a whole person.
building.
She clenched her fingers into a fist and hit Emiya Kiritsugu's chest hard. At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu also pulled the trigger of the contextr, and the origin bullet flew out with a roar, covering the surface of Aozaki Aoko's body.
The azure magical radiance collided.
Unexpectedly, the origin bomb was blocked. Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils shrank sharply, but it was too late to think about the reason for the failure of the origin bomb. Facing the fatal punch that was about to fall on him, he was forced to use another one.
Draw the command spell.
"Saber——!"
Before the summoned Saber could react, she received a heavy punch from Aoko Aozaki, and she and Kiritsugu Emiya flew out and fell from the rooftop of the building.
"Master, do you need me to deal with them?"
Achilles drove his chariot across the sky like a shooting star, and then stopped next to Aozaki Aoko, looking like he was still unfinished.
"No need for the moment, we still need more information about the Holy Grail War. By the way, Rider, did you bring that woman?"
"Well, here it is."
Achilles mentioned Kuu Maiya who was still in a coma.
"Well, I hope she knows some valuable information."
Aozaki Aoko stood on the edge of the ruined rooftop, overlooking the streets below. The violent explosion of the magic bomb had attracted the attention of many passers-by. Considering the principle that the mystery must be concealed, she let it go for the time being.
