"Lancelot..."
Upon encountering his old friend, the Holy Lance King, he was momentarily at a loss for words.
What the hell is this? Is this the Holy Grail War or a civil war within the Round Table?!
Among the Seven Riders' Servants, three are actually from the Round Table!
"No wonder, I was wondering how this guy could be so strong, so he's the chief."
Mordred, on the other hand, didn't have such complicated feelings; in fact, she felt somewhat relieved.
Losing to someone you know, especially a senior, doesn't seem so shameful.
"Lancelot, you..."
The Holy Lance King was just about to say something.
However, Lancelot didn't want to waste time arguing with them, so he directly drew his sword and slashed at them.
Although he had broken free from the effects of berserk madness that consumed his reason, he didn't want to say much now, as he didn't have much time left.
The relentless attacks continued, forcing the Holy Gun King to remain on the defensive for the time being.
Seeing this, Mordred guessed what was going on and realized that if he stayed any longer, something bad might happen, so he quietly transformed and slipped away.
……
"Pfft! Dead..."
A glint appeared in his eyes from the shadows. He was just about to use a Command Spell to send Mordred, the disobedient Servant, to help Lancelot attack Kenneth the Lance King.
But then they suddenly discovered that their Servant was not only disobedient, but had also run away without permission!
The series of unexpected events caused him to faint, and he felt a surge of anger and blood rush to his head.
Sora, standing beside him, watched Kenneth collapse to the ground, a strange light gleaming in her eyes.
……
In an instant, the chaotic scene was reduced to just the Holy Gun King and Lancelot fighting one-on-one.
The Holy Gun King, who had been passively taking hits, was also provoked to some anger.
Although I don't know what Lancelot is thinking, who cares? I'll just take him down first!
So the Holy Lance King got serious and started to fight back, reversing his losing streak and engaging Lancelot in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
On one side, the fighting was fierce, with sand and stones flying everywhere; on the other side, the fighting was also intense.
……
Guided by Marne's magic bullet signal, Hassan's clone quickly approached Kiritsugu Emiya.
huh~
A dagger was thrust into Kiritsugu Emiya's face, forcing him to stop in his tracks as he was charging forward.
"Oh my gosh, look what I've found!"
"Hehe, a lone Master."
"So, how should I cook for you?"
Three Hassan clones, each speaking a sentence, emerged from the shadows and surrounded Kiritsugu Emiya.
"Assassin, huh?"
Upon seeing the three black figures wearing skull masks surrounding him, Kiritsugu Emiya instantly recognized them.
It was Assassin who attacked the Matou family earlier and possessed the ability to create clones.
Without thinking twice, he quickly drew his gun and aimed it at the three Hassan clones.
Da da da da da~!
Bullets rained down, forcing even the well-prepared Hassans to evade their attacks.
They either dodged or parried with their daggers.
Hassan, whose durability is only D, is still a bit timid when faced with gun threats and cannot completely ignore them.
However, it can also handle things with ease, with its speed (A-level) and ability to dodge bullets, etc.
All three clones were calmly approaching Kiritsugu Emiya.
Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya was also feeling unprecedented pressure.
Only now did he truly understand.
Just how big is the gap between a magician and a servant?
No matter how powerful a magician's magic is, he is still just a mortal, and his physical strength is incomparable to that of Servants, who far surpass mortals.
"Time-bound control! Speed up!"
As Hassan and his allies drew ever closer, Kiritsugu Emiya had no choice but to unleash one of his trump cards.
Family secret technique! Invisibility magic!
This is a barrier-type magic that can adjust the ratio of time flow inside the barrier to the outside world, but its drawback is that it consumes an absurd amount of magic power and cannot last for long.
Kiritsugu Emiya used it to cover himself on a small scale, accelerating the flow of time within the barrier to achieve the effect of time acceleration.
Then, Kiritsugu Emiya's speed suddenly doubled, and he rushed quickly towards one of the gaps created by dodging bullets.
And so, Kiritsugu Emiya broke through the encirclement.
The three Hassan clones seemed not to have reacted at all, making no attempt to intercept them.
"not good!"
After escaping from the jaws of death, Kiritsugu Emiya noticed this unusual situation.
Logically speaking, as a mortal, he shouldn't be able to match the speed of a highly agile Servant like Assassin unless his speed is more than ten times greater! There's no way he could catch Assassin off guard!
"Fell into a trap!"
Chapter 48: Kiritsugu Emiya's 'Death', Lancelot's Departure
"We've been tricked..."
Just as Kiritsugu Emiya realized something!
puff!
A dagger suddenly pierced through his chest from behind.
A voice rang out from behind Kiritsugu Emiya: "You noticed? But it's too late."
Kiritsugu Emiya turned around with some difficulty: "There's still one more...?"
It turned out to be a clone of Hassan who had been lying in wait there for some time.
Clearly, that gap just now was a deliberate opening created to lure him over.
Otherwise, why do you think Hundred-Faced Hassan, as an Assassin, would take the initiative to show himself and confront his prey head-on?
He's not King Hassan; he doesn't have the habit or ability to go on a rampage. (doge)
Assassin should act like an Assassin!
The three clones that appeared were merely there to hold off Kiritsugu Emiya.
The real killing blow comes from the remaining clones that are about to arrive.
Use [Aura Suppression: A+] to conceal your presence and seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
This is the right way to use Assassin!
Swish~!
Having successfully launched a sneak attack, the Hundred-Faced Clone, before Kiritsugu Emiya could struggle any further, swiftly drew its dagger and cleanly slit Kiritsugu's neck, finishing him off.
The assassin known as the 'Magician Killer' was a hunter who hunted geese all day long, but in the end, he was pecked by the goose and died at the hands of Assassin, who was famous for his assassinations.
however……
Is this really the case?
After the clones of Hassan the Hundred Faces thought they had completed their mission and retreated.
A figure arrived beside Kiritsugu Emiya, who lay in a pool of blood, quickly pulled out several test tubes, and poured the contents of the medicine into Kiritsugu's mouth.
"Whoosh!"
Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been dead, suddenly convulsed and woke up, gasping for breath.
"Is this what death feels like? It really is..."
Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been brought back to life, sighed with lingering fear, a look of lingering dread appearing on his previously calm face.
I almost died! No, I really died just now!
It wasn't completely dead yet, but due to excessive blood loss, its brain had already gone limp.
If it weren't for the sacred artifact 'Avalon' within him, which, at the critical moment, used the remaining magic power in his body to lock in a sliver of blood with the blessing of immortality, he would have been completely dead by then.
"Thanks for arriving in time, Wu Mi. I owe you my life."
After calming down, Kiritsugu Emiya looked at the assistant beside him who had pulled him back from the brink of death.
Fortunately, Hisayu Maiya arrived in time; otherwise, he would have been dead once the remaining magic power in his body was exhausted.
"No, it's what I should do. It's also thanks to your thorough preparation that I was able to save you."
Hisayu Maiya, however, did not take credit and did not feel that it was her achievement.
Indeed, if Kiritsugu Emiya hadn't been cautious enough to prepare a potion to replenish his mana beforehand, even if she had arrived just in time, she wouldn't have been able to handle the situation.
Kiritsugu Emiya had anticipated the danger of his own death and had obtained some potions and magical potions from the Einzbern family in advance.
The purpose was to obtain enough magic power at such times so that I could use the healing effect of 'Avalon' to save my life.
As it turned out, his caution was justified.
If he really did encounter this situation, he really did escape with his life.
