Chapter 133

Kiritsugu Emiya and Saber were both surprised once again.

"Why!?"

"Because the Holy Grail is the source of all calamities!!"

"Impossible!"

Kiritsugu Emiya refuted the claim of being a "Emiya Kiritsugu," while Saber also expressed her own opinion.

"Kiritsugu, as a Berserker, it seems you've truly gone mad!"

"Berserker, huh? So you all thought I descended as a Berserker?"

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Saber and couldn't help but laugh.

"Aren't you a berserker?"

Saber frowned in confusion. The caster she had encountered before had introduced himself as a caster.

"All six job classes are already filled. The only job class that can be given to you is Berserker!"

"Is that so? If that's what you think?"

[Emiya Kiritsugu] raised his left hand and took off his glove, revealing the bright red Command Spells on the back of his hand.

"What!?"

Under Saber's shocked gaze, [Emiya Kiritsugu] gave the order.

"Berserker, go and kill Saber."

A black whirlwind gathered around [Emiya Kiritsugu], transforming into a humanoid figure in black armor.

"Waaaaaah!!!!"

The black armor roared furiously at the sky, then looked down and stared directly at Saber.

"Arthur!!!"

Berserker transformed into a black afterimage and charged towards Saber.

Before Saber could react, Berserker grabbed her, and the two of them tumbled down the steps leading up the mountain.

Seeing Saber being taken away by Berserker, Kiritsugu Emiya's expression was extremely solemn.

"Who exactly are you...?"

"I got the Berserker from the Matou family. Surprising, isn't it?"

[Emiya Kiritsugu] Slowly put on the glove on his left hand.

"I see. You attacked the Matou family to take the Berserker. Having information about everyone beforehand, you could have easily taken down the enemy if you had handled things properly. But instead of killing the Berserker, you chose to take it. This way, you can have a Servant as a trump card. No one knows this and will only think that you are the Berserker."

Kiritsugu Emiya also shared his guess, and after doing so, he felt even more strongly that there was something wrong with the [Emiya Kiritsugu] before him.

This person may not be him in the future at all!

As if to confirm Kiritsugu Emiya's conjecture, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Emiya's face again.

Although it was only for a short while, and he immediately returned to his expressionless face, Kiritsugu Emiya was certain that he had indeed seen it, he had indeed seen that sinister smile on his face!

There's a problem, there's definitely a problem!

This person is NOT Kiritsugu Emiya!! Absolutely not! Kiritsugu Emiya would never show such an expression!

Upon discovering the problem, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately shouted at Irisviel.

"Irisviel, Maimi, get away from him quickly!"

He drew his pistol and aimed it at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"This person is not Kiritsugu Emiya at all!"

However, Irisviel was quite puzzled by Kiritsugu Emiya's call.

After carefully examining the Emiya Kiritsugu beside her, Irisviel gave her answer.

"Kiritsugu, what are you talking about? He is Kiritsugu."

From an angle that Irisviel couldn't see, the corners of [Emiya Kiritsugu]'s mouth kept turning up, and his expression became wicked. All of this was seen by Kiritsugu Emiya!

219. Caster, go and take down Archer!

"Damn it! Why did it have to turn out like this!"

At the foot of Mount Enzou, Kiritsugu Emiya ran quickly.

The so-called "Emiya Kiritsugu" is all fake. That person is not Kiritsugu Emiya at all, but just a monster wearing Kiritsugu Emiya's skin.

The reason he impersonated Kiritsugu Emiya was simply to make it easier to take Irisviel from his grasp. Irisviel was now completely bewitched by him, believing that he was her future self who had become a Servant.

"Damn it, I should have seen through them sooner!"

Irisviel is now completely fooled by the other party, and doesn't trust herself at all. She only trusts the other party. If this continues, Irisviel will be Holy Grail and summoned by the other party without her knowledge.

The so-called destruction of the Greater Grail must be a lie; the real purpose is simply to summon the Lesser Holy Grail from the location of the Greater Grail. Because possessing both the Greater Grail and Lesser Holy Grail is equivalent to possessing the power to end the Holy Grail War.

Kiritsugu Emiya had no evidence, but his intuition told him that this [Emiya Kiritsugu] must have already obtained the Greater Grail!

"Saber!"

After running down the steps, Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Saber, who was fighting Berserker.

"Get out of here right now!"

"Kiritsugu, what happened?"

With a single sword strike, Saber deflected the black Berserker who was waving a lamppost at her. She then looked at Kiritsugu Emiya with a puzzled expression.

"That person wasn't Kiritsugu Emiya at all; we've all been fooled."

"What?"

"In short, we need to get out of here quickly. I don't know what their purpose is, but we must leave now."

Kiritsugu Emiya actually wanted Saber to defeat Berserker and then kill the Emiya Kiritsugu, but Irisviel was in his hands, and for some reason, his intuition told him that if he made a move at this time, he would lose!

His previous intuition told him that there was something wrong with this [Emiya Kiritsugu], and he had already received a positive answer. Now he chose to trust his intuition again.

"Wait, what will happen to Irisviel if we leave here?"

Saber stopped Kiritsugu Emiya and asked him a question.

"Irisviel won't have any problems for now. The other side needs Irisviel to become the Lesser Holy Grail. We're leaving now so we can find a better way to rescue Irisviel."

Kiritsugu Emiya spoke righteously, but Saber clearly didn't believe him.

"Trust me! I won't hurt Irisviel!"

"Okay, I'll believe you for now!"

Although she disliked Kiritsugu Emiya's personality and usual planning, Saber chose to trust Kiritsugu Emiya once for the sake of Irisviel.

"You go first, I'll hold off Berserker, and then I'll catch up."

Seeing Berserker rushing at her again, Saber chose to block him herself, letting Kiritsugu Emiya leave first, and then she would retreat after Kiritsugu Emiya left.

Kiritsugu Emiya didn't speak, only nodded coldly, and then quickly left. Not long after Kiritsugu Emiya left, Saber released the Wind King Barrier, forcibly repelled Berserker, and then quickly left as well.

Halfway up the mountain, Ryuudou Temple, the Emiya Kiritsugu, watched the other party leave without any urgency.

"Kiritsugu, I hope you don't mind. He just doesn't understand the true situation of the Holy Grail War, so he has some misunderstandings about you."

Irisviel found Kiritsugu Emiya's behavior somewhat strange. In her opinion, it was because Kiritsugu Emiya and the Emiya Kiritsugu had a disagreement, and therefore she did not trust the Emiya Kiritsugu.

She knew that Emiya Kiritsugu's class was Avenger, and that he wanted to kill Kiritsugu Emiya in this era. Irisviel didn't want this to happen. She felt sorry for Emiya Kiritsugu's sad past, but she also didn't want the present Kiritsugu Emiya to be killed by his future self. Therefore, she wanted to speak up for Kiritsugu Emiya.

"I know how ignorant he is right now, so I don't care about his ignorant behavior."

[Emiya Kiritsugu] appeared expressionless on the surface, and his words revealed his indifference, which put Irisviel at ease.

"Irisviel, you and Mami continue to wait here. It's safe here for now. I have other preparations to make."

"If you're bored, you can go to the back mountain and take a look. That's where the Greater Grail is located, if you can endure the darkness."

When Irisviel heard about the Greater Grail, she shook her head repeatedly. In the memories of the Emiya Kiritsugu, she had already experienced it.

"No need for that, but we'll be here waiting for you to come back."

"That's good. You all wait here, I'll be back soon."

[Emiya Kiritsugu] nodded to Irisviel and Maiya Hisau, then disappeared as Reishi.

In the sewers of Fuyuki City, Caster returned Wrath after the battle of the previous night.

Caster's real name is Gilles de Rais, a French marshal in the Hundred Years' War and a devoted admirer of Joan of Arc.

Because of Takeuchi face the Type-Moon world, many characters have the same face. Joan of Arc's face is almost identical to Saber's, so Caster mistook Saber for his Joan of Arc.

He tried to kidnap his saintess, but Lancer suddenly appeared and ruined the plan. Not only that, Lancer not only prevented him from taking his saintess away, but also used his magic spear to pierce his magic book, which made it impossible for him to summon the Sea Monster for the time being!

The inability to summon the Sea Monster means that his combat power will be greatly limited for the foreseeable future.

Although he is called a Caster, he is not a magician. He was able to become a Caster only because of the grimoire in his hand. It was this grimoire that gave him the ability to summon Sea Monster.

Now that the magic book is damaged, he needs some time to repair it before he can regain his fighting ability.

"Damn Lancer! Damn gods, how could you let Jeanne d'Arc leave me again!"

"I will definitely get my revenge, Jeanne d'Arc! Saintess, just wait a little longer, until I repair the grimoire, and I will come back to find you!"

Wrath Caster stared at the broken grimoire on the table, then spread his arms and yelled at the ceiling of the sewer.

"No need, Jill, I'm already here."

"Who!"

The sudden sound behind him startled Caster, who turned around in surprise, and his eyes widened in shock.

Because what appeared before him was Joan of Arc, exactly the same as the one in his memory!

She wore a long white dress, silver armor, and had long golden hair. The silver Cross Knight sword at her waist was still there, and Jeanne d'Arc of Arc even held her iconic banner in her hand.

Jeanne d'Arc?

"It is I, Gilles. I heard your voice and answered your expectations. I have come down from the Throne of Heroes."

Jeanne d'Arc extended her right hand toward Caster and answered with a smile.

"Oh!!! My Jeanne d'Arc!! My Maiden!!!"

Caster was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he immediately knelt on the ground, spreading his arms out towards Jeanne d'Arc.

"Jeanne d'Arc of Arc, have you finally answered my expectations and come before me?"

"Yes, just as I said, I heard your voice, Jill."

Jeanne d'Arc slowly walked up to Caster.

"Jill, you've worked hard."

"No! It's not hard! For Jeanne d'Arc of Arc, for Maiden, I'm willing to give everything!"

Caster was deeply moved by Jeanne d'Arc.

"Really? Gil, are you really willing for me to do anything?"

"Of course! I'd do anything for you, Jeanne d'Arc. I'd do anything as long as you stay by my side!"

"In that case, Gilles, could you bring the Holy Grail to me?"

Jeanne d'Arc leaned close to Caster and asked in a low voice.

"No problem! Jeanne d'Arc, if you want the Holy Grail, I will bring it to you!"

"No need for that. I just need you to do one thing for me, Jill."

"What's up?"

Jill asked curiously.

Jeanne d'Arc leaned close to Caster's ear.

I dislike archers who participate in the Holy Grail War.

"Jill, can you help me kill Archer?"
