Chapter 10 The Awakened Magician Killer

The man saved lives equally. Similarly, he killed people regardless of good or evil.

But when he found out, it was too late.

Valuing all lives equally also means not loving anyone.

If he could remember this iron rule earlier, perhaps there would be a way to be redeemed.

If he froze his young heart earlier, let it die, and made himself a bloodless and tearless measuring machine, perhaps he could just coldly select the living and the dead for the rest of his life without having to worry about it.

But that man was not that kind of person.

————

The weather change that occurred over Einzbern was like a strong invitation letter, welcoming the "evil guest" Shuoyue into the thousand-year-old winter city.

Surrounded by countless weapons-wielding, similar-looking artificial humans, Shuoyue was led to the chapel in the city of Einzbern - the most magnificent and darkest place in this ancient city frozen by wind and snow.

It was certainly not a place to praise God's grace and soothe the soul. In the magician's castle, the so-called prayer place is the place where the magic ritual is performed.

So the painted mosaics that Shuoyue saw along the way did not depict the portraits of saints, but the long history of the Einzbern family's pursuit of the Holy Grail.

Even among the original three families, Einzbern spent the longest time on the Holy Grail.

But until now, some of the magicians who once gathered together to pursue the third law have left the castle, and some have committed suicide. In the end, only the androids made by the magicians were abandoned in this icy and snowy place.

These androids inherited the concept of the magicians who created them - "reproducing the third magic" due to their own purity as machines, and continued to operate the Einzbern workshop. From then on, all the androids made by Einzbern were based on Justissa - that is, the image of silver hair and red eyes.

And two hundred years ago, the androids finally gave up the way of exploring alone and began to cooperate with external families such as Tosaka and Machiri (Matou).

But in the subsequent Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family never won because their masters were slightly inferior in combat power. As a result, nine years ago, they were forced to recruit brave and skilled magicians from the outside world.

Speaking of which, Kiritsugu PaPa is the trump card that the Einzbern family, which has always been proud of its pure bloodline, has prepared for a second change of faith.

Sakutsuki walked in the corridor and accidentally stopped his eyes on a relatively new stained glass window.

The painting above shows the "Winter Saint" of the Einzbern family, Rizlehi Justiza, and the two magicians who serve her on both sides, stretching their hands towards a cup in the sky. As long as you carefully observe the composition and balance of this painting, you can clearly see how much the Einzbern family looked down on the Tosaka family and the Makiri family two hundred years ago, and how ashamed the Einzbern family is now that they have to rely on the assistance of these two families.

The young man with white hair and golden eyes walked in the passage, which was too incompatible with the solemn atmosphere here, as if one of the two parties was destined to announce the end of destruction because of the other.

The old magician who was in charge of this winter city was already standing in front of the altar waiting for his arrival.

The old man's name was Jobstaheit von Einzbern. Since he inherited the position of the eighth-generation head of the family, he has been named "Yahad". He extended his life several times and lived for nearly two centuries. After the Holy Grail "exploration" turned into the Holy Grail "war", he still ruled the Einzbern family.

Facing the controller of this castle, Shuoyue just glanced at him casually, and his eyes stayed on the man and woman next to him, and never left.

The man was wearing a coat and had neat black hair. His figure was still as tall and thin as Emiya's memory. His eyes were dull, but if you look closely, you will find the burning flame of obsession.

The woman was wearing a platinum coat, her silver hair fell softly, her ruby-like eyes were warm, she looked like a snow princess from a fairy tale, just as beautiful as what Shuoyue saw through the screen.

Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel, the master and his partner of the Einzbern family participating in the Holy Grail War this time.

At the same time, they are also...

"So, the magician who invaded the Einzbern territory and performed great magic in our Winter City, since you did not harm Illyasviel von Einzbern, I allow you to tell me your intention."

The arrogant words of the old magician made Shuoyue look at him again.

Old man Yahad stroked his long white beard that reminded people of an ice waterfall, and his strong eyes that showed no signs of aging shot directly at Shuoyue from his deep eye sockets. There was an invisible pressure of almost paranoia on him, which made people disgusted.

And Shuoyue's disgusting feeling was also firmly transmitted to Yahad's mind.

"Aili." Almost at that moment, Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes changed slightly, and he quietly pulled his wife over and protected her behind him.

Only those who have experienced the bloody sea or the invasion of time can feel the invisible change in the atmosphere. The young man with white hair and golden eyes just stood there, making Kiritsugu and Ahadon feel like they were about to be crushed. Even the old magician's whole body couldn't stop shaking.

This was by no means how rude and violent Sakutsuki showed, but once exposed to his cold golden eyes, one would realize how fragile and powerless one was.

In front of Shuoyue, who is not a Heroic Spirit but resembles one, any human will feel that his life is as powerless as a moth.

"Then let me make a request, Einzbern." The young man stood at the door, with a blue light stream condensing in his palm, "I came here to ask for your Einzbern puppet technology, the data of the Holy Grail, the holy relic of this Holy Grail War, and a cute little loli..."

After a pause, in the unbelievable eyes of Ahadeon, Shuoyue said the last request:

"And, the third law."

"Kill him!" As if touched by the reverse scale, the white-haired old man issued an order without hesitation, and knocked his cane on the ground heavily, and then endless magic circles rose from the ground and surrounded the entire chapel.

As the door opened, countless androids holding axes and guns rushed in and killed Shuoyue who was alone.

"Go, this man is dangerous!" As the "magician killer" that Einzbern was willing to lower himself to welcome into the castle, Emiya Kiritsugu chose to retreat first when faced with his specialty, grabbed his wife's hand, and retreated to the door.

"But, Kiritsugu, I can fight too..." Irisviel hesitated briefly, unwilling to let her husband face the danger alone.

But this hesitation made her lose the last chance.

"Trace on! (Projection starts)"

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

When the blade flew over, Irisviel only had time to push her husband away before being swallowed by the ruthless blade.

"Aili!" Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils shrank.

There was no blood, no shouting, countless sword blades glowed with cold iron light, and they were stuck in the ground like a small grave.

A piece of white cloth was lifted by the air wave, like a melting snowflake, disappearing in the dark chapel.

His heart was throbbing, and the familiar taste of rust was lingering in his mouth. Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes were empty, and he pulled out two submachine guns from the inside of his clothes.

"Time alter, triple accel!"

The coat called "good husband" was torn off.

After seven years, the former magician killer found a target again and began to hunt!
