Chapter 120 The First Exit
Kotomine Kirei's forward movement stopped abruptly.
His dull expression didn't change at all. Three pairs of black and white blades swirling and attacking blocked all his advancing routes, and he could only resist this blow forcefully.
Unlike Roland's time, Archer was intent on killing. Kotomine Kirei's technique and force allowed him to do a few tricks against Archer, but his disadvantages were still obvious when he really faced the heroic spirit with a mortal body.
Not everyone is Emiya Shirou, whether it is the Fourth War or the Fifth War, Kirei is not the protagonist.
Even so, Kotomine Kirei is not really an idiot, it is difficult to fight against, but he also has tricks.
Archer's long blade swung like a crane's wings and the two pairs of black and white knives that swirled into the real flesh, but Archer raised his head in astonishment, without any joy of success.
Because, there were three assassins in black clothes and white bone masks, as if they had crossed the void, and appeared on the left and right of Kirei, blocking the black and white swords for him with their bodies.
Although Archer's long knife from the front pierced Assassin's body, it was also held by his counterattack before he died, preventing Archer from launching a second attack.
So, is this the reason for Assassin to take the initiative to split? Even if the combat power is not high, the body of a servant is more than enough to serve as a shield.
Archer took a few steps back subconsciously, looking at the assassin who suddenly appeared like a phantom.
Although they were not far away from Kotomine Kirei, it was impossible for him to rush over without noticing it. It was only a miracle that could accomplish this.
On the back of Kotomine Kirei's hand, a light red mark became dim.
"you……"
As a person who experienced it, Archer naturally recognized that it was the effect of the Command Seal, but such a precious thing was regarded by the other party as a consumable for calling a one-time meat shield. What was this priest thinking?
Archer knows Kotomine Kirei's experience, this guy can play the role of a good guy Rin trusts for decades, a dedicated priest, just because he expects greater pleasure.
It must be an important reason for him to give up the Command Seal and meet Kiritsugu himself.
Although it is not clear what happened between Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei in the fourth battle, Archer's action policy has always been very straightforward, as long as this priest wants to do it, he will do his best to destroy it.
——Therefore, he must not be allowed to see Kiritsugu.
'Dang Clang—'
After the dead assassin dissipated, three pairs of black and white swords fell to the ground, and Archer opened his hands again to let the new weapons condense.
"Even if there are Command Seals, there are only two of them. It doesn't take thirty seconds to kill you twice!"
Archer had an indifferent expression on his face, and he unleashed all his normal strength, phantoms of swords with blades appeared beside him, waiting for him to use them at any time.
And in his hand, that simple black bow was firmly held again.
One after another, the strange blades were treated as one-time consumables, and Archer stood where he was, facing the advancing Kotomine Kirei.
Streams of light shot out one after another, the blade of the sword was like rain, attacking Kotomine Kirei!
"Kotomine Kirei, do you still have enough assassin reserves?"
Archer's rich combat experience makes him rarely encounter difficulties. Since the speed of killing enemies in melee is too slow, it is better to switch to long-range. He is also an archer anyway. Under one arrow, the weak clone of assassin is absolutely impossible. survived.
As long as Kotomine Kirei wants to move forward, he has to face the shooting of the sword rain, and Archer still has a little bit of confidence in the number of sword blades he has stored in the inherent barrier.
The dust waves blown up by the sword rain almost obscured Kotomine Kirei's forward vision. He sighed slightly, and the second command spell on the back of his hand also dimmed again. This time, almost all the assassins around him came in front of him. , forming a reliable human wall, blocking all attacks for him.
And when these assassins turned into spirit particles and dissipated, Archer had already set up an arrow, aiming at Kotomine Kirei's head.
"Archer," Kotomine Kirei's eyes flashed, and a slightly distorted smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "The more intense your resistance, the more excited I will be."
"What can be covered up by you like this, I really can't bear not to take a peek. I am more and more curious about what kind of man Emiya Kiritsugu is."
"Go curious in hell."
Archer was expressionless, stretching his bow to shoot.
But Kotomine Kirei's eyes didn't flinch at all, he couldn't see death, he couldn't see fear, there was only joy, joy, and sincere prayers.
As a magician who has been trained for three years under the good teacher Tosaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei couldn't understand the gap between a magician and a follower.
Tohsaka Tokiomi often said, "Use followers to defeat followers." ’ Kotomine Kirei knew this well.
Before letting go of his hand, a cold killing intent like a poisonous snake appeared in Archer's perception. This killing intent appeared very abruptly, leaving no trace of it before.
not good! It's breath cover!
As an Assassin's signature skill, if he wants to hide with all his strength, as long as he doesn't attack, it is basically impossible to be noticed.
Therefore, when he realized that the murderous intent to put people to death was not aimed at him, Archer's eyes widened, as if he had rehearsed countless times, he turned around and shot the arrow, heading straight for the place where the murderous intent came. .
At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu also fired.
When Archer was fighting Kotomine Kirei, Sola was also signing the self-enforcement certificate. Although the woman looked panic-stricken, she signed very quickly under the threat of her life.
But before Emiya Kiritsugu could relax, Sora suddenly stumbled, his face turned pale, and he took several steps in his direction.
The methods of magicians are quite secretive, with different bases and different systems, no one knows how subtle movements they can make to counterattack.
The hard-hearted and experienced Emiya Kiritsugu showed no mercy, the moment Sora pulled up, the submachine gun in his hand opened fire mercilessly.
The cold bullets knocked Sora's body back step by step, leaving gurgling blood everywhere, and fell down slowly. At this moment, Kiritsugu saw a child-sized assassin holding a A dagger stained with blood.
At Sola's waist, there was also a long and narrow opening.
Obviously, this is Assassin's handwriting.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who knew he was being tricked, had no time to speak, a burst of white light exploded, and Archer shot Assassin with an arrow, but he had already done one last thing before turning into a spirit and disappearing.
Throw the dagger in his hand into Kenneth's leg.
Stimulated by the severe pain, Kenneth, who was relieved a lot by Sola's healing magic, opened his eyes, and then, the first thing he saw was the muzzle of Emiya Kiritsugu's gun that was still emitting white smoke, and the Bullet holes, slowly falling fiancée.
Kotomine Kirei watched this scene quietly, he had already tried his best to restrain himself, but for some reason, the mighty force from his body stimulated his nerves, making the corners of his mouth wide open, revealing a clown in an amusement park Same funny smile.
Excited, happy, joyful, similar to but different from the feeling he had with Roland that day, Kotomine Kirei felt that he was already close to the answer.
"That was the last assassin just now, from now on, I am no longer the Master."
Kotomine Kirei said tremblingly, becoming the first group of people to leave the Holy Grail War, but no one paid attention to his words anymore.
The proud, indifferent, and infatuated monarch's eyes were bloodshot, and strong emotions pierced the blood vessels, leaving two lines of bright red, dark blood in the corners of his eyes.
"Sola—!"
