Chapter 84 Kenneth's Fate

Anger corroded Kayneth's heart like sulfuric acid.

He was a first-rate magician, and he would never lose his composure because of his emotions, especially when facing a formal competition.

In fact, if this battle was a duel between first-rate magicians, Kayneth would not be so angry at all. He would admire and respect his competitor's skills, calmly assess the enemy's true strength, and wholeheartedly perform appropriate magic to fight back against the enemy - just like the competition between Hyatt Hotel and Sakutsuki.

Such noble and dignified gentleman competitions were the "battles" that Kayneth was familiar with. He came all the way to this remote country in the Far East to compete with Toshiomi Tōsaka, Zouken Matou and four other competitors in order to obtain the right to obtain the Holy Grail.

However - the wound on his right shoulder stimulated his pain nerves. It hurt continuously, as if mocking and humiliating Kayneth.

That was the result of Emiya Kiritsugu pulling the trigger and firing a shot from his beloved gun Contender.

It had nothing to do with magic or ceremonial attire. It was just a ridiculous toy made of mechanical parts. However, it broke through the barrier between mystery and reality, penetrated the defense of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, and left a wound on the Lord of the Clock Tower.

This wound was not caused by fighting. That kind of behavior could never be called "fighting".

It was like stepping on a rotten floor; it was like knocking over a pot that was cooking; it was like mud splashing on your most beautiful clothes. The opponent was a cowardly ant that was not even worthy of being called an opponent. Seeing him made Kayneth feel that he had polluted his eyes. He was just a pile of unpleasant garbage.

With the dignity of Sir Emeroy at stake, he would never regard such a thing as an object of "anger".

These were just trivial matters. Just treat it as bad luck and laugh it off.

Even though Kayneth told himself so, the wound on his shoulder continued to wail. The burning pain tortured and gnawed at his self-esteem.

Kenneth's pale face was expressionless, like a Noh mask. It was definitely not the expression of an "angry person", because Kenneth did not hate anyone. His anger was completely directed at himself. He was just furious at this abnormal situation.

"Impossible--"

The anger that could not be vented turned into a destructive impulse and was transmitted to the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. The mercury whip cut and scratched the walls of the surrounding corridors.

"Such a lowly scum actually made me bleed... Impossible! How could this happen!"

Kenneth chased after the fleeing Emiya Kiritsugu with the pace of a sleepwalker.

The door blocking the way was not pushed open, but smashed to pieces by the weight of mercury.

Vases, paintings, gorgeous furniture, etc., all the decorations that came into view were cut off and completely destroyed. There were many traps along the way.

Whenever Kenneth's unguarded toes hooked on the steel wire or stepped on the fuse under the carpet, the pre-installed grenades would explode and the mines would sprinkle gravel bombs all over the sky. The mercury protective film that spread out instantly easily blocked all attacks repeatedly.

The trap set by the opponent was like a toy for children, so funny that even Kenneth laughed at it. But when he laughed at the opponent, he was also laughing at himself for being easily injured because of this toy for children.

Self-mockery cut his self-esteem like a razor, and the humiliation further ignited the anger in Kenneth's heart.

His proud dress was not designed to deal with such despicable means. His mercury should be able to take on curse bullets, deflect spirit swords, break through the magic of fire, ice and lightning, and should be a secret technique that makes the magician who hates him reach death in amazement and awe.

So, what is his ugly appearance now?

Fortunately, this humiliating pursuit has finally come to an end.

No matter how large the castle is, the retreat becomes very limited when fleeing upstairs, and the mouse was chased to the end of the corridor on the third floor. The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid accurately found his position this time. The target seemed to have given up and was motionless, and he should be planning to have the final showdown there.

"Confrontation? No, this is not a confrontation, it's execution, it's slaughter!" Kenneth's whole body was filled with cruel murderous intent. He turned the last corner and came to the end of the corridor, facing the prey holding two guns.

"You don't think the method just now can still work, do you? Scum, you can hurt me, not because you seized the right time, nor because of a successful sneak attack, but just an unreasonable coincidence."

The arrogant magician said gloomily, slowly walking towards Kiritsugu step by step. The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid rotating beside him stretched and retracted countless whips as if intimidating, while shaking the sharp front end.

"I won't kill you easily. I will continue to heal your lungs and heart, and then cut you into pieces from the head with a knife. You will die in pain, regret and despair, and then curse when you die, curse Einzbern who dared to insult the Holy Grail War!"

Faced with Kenneth's execution declaration, Emiya Kiritsugu was not panicked. Instead, he laughed in his heart.

Very good, very good——

Using the inherent time control to suppress the body's functions, thus deceiving the mercury's sensitivity to temperature and heartbeat, and breaking the detection ability of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

Use the bullets of Calico submachine gun to suppress the deformation of Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, and then use Springfield bullets with destructive power seven times that of 9mm bullets to penetrate the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, pierce Kenneth's shoulder, and break the defense ability of Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid.

As for the attack ability of Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid, when Mercury turns into a long whip, only the root part swings the whip at a very fast speed, and the end has no power at all. The power and speed of the tip of the blade come purely from centrifugal force, and such an ultra-high-speed attack also means monotonous movements. Therefore, no matter how Kenneth attacks, he has never hit Emiya Kiritsugu.

In this way, the three major abilities of Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid have been easily broken by Emiya Kiritsugu. If it were an ordinary person who realized that his trump card had lost its effect, he would definitely retreat without hesitation.

However, Kenneth did not do so. Rage devoured his reason, so that his actions were as reckless as a mad bull.

This magician's arrogance, this pedantry that is indifferent to the changes of the times, is the best weapon to kill himself.

And now, as a magician killer, he only needs to add more fire.

The Calico submachine gun spewed out flames and began to suppress the endless rain of bullets.

"Fevor, meisanguis! (Boiling, my blood)"

After being shot in the shoulder, Kenneth was certainly not stupid enough to use the same means to defend. He rebuilt the defense of mercury. No longer using a film, but changing to a column.

Countless reverse thorns stood up from the floor to the ceiling, covering Kenneth's body like a dense bamboo forest, completely blocking the flying bullets.

The bullet was blocked by the silver sword mountain, making a deafening metallic sound while repeatedly bouncing between the gaps between the barbs, losing its power and falling to the ground. No bullet hit Kenneth's body.

But Emiya Kiritsugu had no intention of changing his strategy. The moment the M950 magazine was empty, the Contender in his right hand roared. The destructive power of this single bullet is far greater than that of a 9mm bullet. It penetrated the protective wall of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid for the first time, causing Kenneth to be injured.

"You don't think that trick just now will work, bitch?" Kenneth, who was hiding under the protection of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, made a mocking voice.

Unlike last time, the sword-shaped mercury has far more freedom than the film form. At the moment when the fatal blow touched the silver barb, all the other barbs gathered like flytraps and wrapped the bullet together. The airtight and sharp barbs turned into a thick pillar in an instant, blocking the 3gfield bullet.

This move fully demonstrated the advantages of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's free change. This method of fluid manipulation magic is both precise and perfect, and it can be said to be the ultimate skill that is worthy of the famous Ya Archibald.

However, at the moment when Sir Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald successfully performed this perfect magic that exhausted mental power and skills - his fate had come to an end.
