Although Servant summoned by Holy Grail War will retain some of his memories and personality during his lifetime, they are actually realized through Third Magic Soul Materialization.

This means that no matter how reluctant they are, they must rely on Master in order to exist.

Therefore, Master is the real leader of Holy Grail War, while Heroic Spirit is strictly Familiar with independent personality and thoughts.

And Command Spells is the ultimate embodiment of this relationship.

Seeing that Saber and Diarmuid were about to fight again, Allen immediately reminded with a smile, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste time here, but would go to the castle to see what happened. Especially you, Lancer. You must know that Emiya Kiritsugu is Magus Killer of Daimyo. What he is best at is dealing with those geniuses Magus who think they look down on ordinary people."

"Impossible! My monarch's strength is simply not comparable to that of other Master." Diarmuid retorted without thinking.

"Oh? Really? Maybe in a head-on battle, Kayneth can easily defeat Emiya Kiritsugu. But the question is... do you think a Assassin will choose to stand in the sun that is most unfavorable to him and have a fair Duel Gundam? Saber should know this best."

As he said that, Allen turned his attention to Artoria, with a playful expression on his face.

Because he is looking forward to how King of Knights, who never lies, will evaluate his Master.

"Lancer! Berserker is right! This man Emiya Kiritsugu is the most despicable and shameless bastard I have ever seen. There is no honor or bottom line in his heart. Your Master is most likely in danger."

Saber is indeed a typical straight person. He has no intention of covering up his own Master's shame. He accurately described Emiya Kiritsugu's actions in a confident tone.

Of course, it is also possible that she has never regarded Emiya Kiritsugu as her Master relationship.

In fact, for Saber, Irisviel may be the Master that she truly recognizes in her heart.

As for the former, he has never tried to communicate or understand himself from the beginning to the end, and his behavior style and philosophy are completely different.

It can be said that the compatibility between the two parties is extremely bad.

Fortunately, Artoria belongs to the kind-hearted and lawful Heroic Spirit. Otherwise, Golden Flash would kill such a tyrant in minutes, and then find a way to find a new Master.

There is no doubt that if this matter were told by other people, Diarmuid would never believe a single word.

But if it comes from the mouth of Saber, then you need to think about it seriously.

After all, it is well known that King of Knights values honor and never lies.

After a brief silence, he finally gritted his teeth and responded, "Okay! I believe you this time! Let's go to the castle to find out."

The words just fell!

The two of them put away their weapons in unison and galloped towards the top of the mountain at extremely fast speeds.

When the two of them were completely gone, Allen jumped high into the air, directly over the magma pool that had begun to cool down, and arrived at the other end of the woods.

In mid-air, he clearly saw Kotomine Kirei holding Irisviel's neck with both hands, lifting his feet off the ground, and seemed to be asking something.

The strong feeling of suffocation made the nine-year-old Homunculus show a painful expression and desperately tried to break free so that he could breathe a breath of fresh air.

Unfortunately, compared to enemies who have undergone strict training, her strength is too weak. Even if she has twice the ability to fight demons than ordinary people, it will not help.

This scene fully illustrates that as a Magus, if you don't have excellent melee combat skills, you will be very powerless once you get close.

"Since there is no Command Spells, it is not the Master of the Einzbern family. I'm afraid you are an artificial life form that serves as the protector of the container, right? With your status, you should not do something as stupid as participating in the battle. Let me ask again, women, what is your will to fight with me?" Kotomine Kirei asked expressionlessly.

Just when he was about to use a little more force with his fingers, he suddenly felt a terrifying breath coming from the top of his head.

Before he could react, he saw a figure falling from the sky and making a big hole in the ground on the spot.

boom!

Accompanied by violent vibrations and sounds, Allen slowly walked out of the pit and asked in a slightly playful tone, "Does bullying the weak make you feel happy that much?"

"Berserker!"

Seeing the true face of the visitor, Kotomine Kirei's pupils instantly dilated, and his originally calm eyes revealed strong tension and fear.

There is no way not to be afraid!

He could clearly see the sword strike a few minutes ago.

And just the aftermath killed a clone of Assassin used for surveillance.

"Answer my question! Does bullying the weak make you feel happy that much?" Allen slowly stepped forward and repeated the previous question.

"No! I just want to figure out this man Emiya Kiritsugu." Kotomine Kirei let go of his hand very decisively and started to retreat cautiously.

At the same time, two Hundred-Faced Hassan hidden in the darkness also came out of the darkness, ready to block the knife for their master and delay time.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Irisviel, who narrowly escaped death, lay on the ground and coughed violently, while taking in big mouthfuls of fresh air to relieve the burning sensation in his lungs.

"Emiya Kiritsugu? Ah! I understand. In your mind, he must be a guy who is not understood and recognized by anyone, and whose heart is full of emptiness, just like you, right?"

As Allen spoke, he reached out to help Irisviel up. At the same time, he took out a small bottle of the lowest-grade healing potion and poured it into Hisau Maiya, who had suffered heavy internal bleeding and heavy injuries.

"Thank you! Thank you, Berserker."

Seeing that her husband's assistant was getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye, Irisviel immediately expressed her gratitude.

Although she has long been prepared to become Holy Grail, who wouldn't want to live a few more days if possible.

"You're welcome! Although you are just an artificial life, in my eyes, at least you are more like a living human being than this guy." As he said that, Allen pointed to Kotomine Kirei.

As a person who knows Fate World very well, he knows that Einzbern family is actually a tragedy from beginning to end, a tragedy caused by the incomplete Third Magic.

This family no longer had real humans hundreds of years ago, but relied on artificial life to continue.

What's even more frightening is that almost every Homunculus has been planned for its age and purpose from the moment it was born, just like a tool.

But the short life has not made these Homunculus evil and twisted!

On the contrary, they have richer and nobler emotions than normal people, and they still tirelessly try to complete Redemption for all mankind by making Holy Grail.

"Human?"

Kotomine Kirei pursed his lips and revealed a disdainful smile.

Maybe he touched the most sensitive nerve in his heart, or maybe he realized that the other party would not kill him. In short, he gave up his previous plan to escape and asked with a sneer, "What is your definition of human beings? Wisdom? The desire for reason? Or the so-called noble morality?"

"No, neither. In my opinion, the most important thing that distinguishes humans from other creatures is emotion, extremely strong emotions. Unfortunately, you can't feel this. Because like Caster and his Master, you have lost the most important ability of empathy for humans. You can't feel it, He also cannot understand the joy and pain of others, he just wants to do some cruel things to bring satisfaction to his empty self. Oh, I almost forgot, King of Heroes Gilgamesh should be counted as half, but what makes him smarter than you is that in addition to knowing how to appreciate evil souls, he also knows how to appreciate good souls."

When saying these words, Allen's eyes never left the guy in front of him who could no longer suppress his true nature.

Regarding the topic of human nature being inherently good and nature being evil, countless scholars and philosophers have had heated discussions as early as more than 2,000 years ago, but no conclusion has been reached so far.

But after seeing the soul of Kotomine Kirei, he began to believe that Innate Evil really existed in the world.

Although Kotomine Kirei has not done anything that can be called "evil" so far, his soul exudes an extremely dark atmosphere.

That is not the result of evil deeds, but self-distortion from the spiritual and conscious level.

If such a soul is dedicated to the devil or demons, it might directly attract the attention of Duke Hell and Demon Lord.

"Do you believe this man actually exists who is inherently evil?"

Kotomine Kirei did not mean to defend himself, but instead raised a new question.

"Believe it!" Allen replied without thinking.

"Oh? What's the reason?" Kotomine Kirei showed an obviously surprised expression.

"Because aren't you the best example?" Allen replied with a smile.

But Kotomine Kirei was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and asked directly, "What about Emiya Kiritsugu? Isn't he the same person as me?"

"No! Kiritsugu is just like you..."

Before Irisviel could finish what he said, Allen raised his hand to stop him and said, "Forget it, don't waste time explaining. This man will only believe the results of his own investigation, not the words of others. So let Holy Grail War reveal what kind of person Emiya Kiritsugu is."

"Hahahaha! Interesting! This is so interesting! I didn't expect that Berserker, who should have lost his mind and gone completely crazy, could actually say such a thing. In that case, I'll just look forward to it for a while."

With unbridled laughter, Kotomine Kirei finally found his reason to participate in Holy Grail War, and at the same time completely released his nature.
