"Kiritsugu! Are you okay?"
Irisviel quickly scanned the frost-shrouded corridor, as well as the horrific scratches on the walls and ceiling, as well as the large blood stains and bullet casings left behind.
Judging from the conditions at the scene, it was 100% that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded expressionlessly. "Of course! I'm fine! And Kayneth was severely injured just now. What about you? You're not in any danger, are you?"
"No! We met Kotomine Kirei! That guy almost killed my wife! Fortunately, Berserker arrived in time, otherwise we would probably be two corpses now." Hisau Maiya told the story in the most concise language.
"Kotomine Kirei? Assassin's Master..." Emiya Kiritsugu's face changed slightly.
"Yeah! That's right! That man seems to have a very strong interest in you, and even thinks that you, like him, are the kind of inherently evil person who is extremely empty and lonely in his heart."
When saying these words, Irisviel's tone was full of worry.
Because she understands that once a guy like Kotomine Kirei sets his sights on a certain target, he will never give up easily before losing interest.
If coupled with the other party's outstanding skills and Assassin's elusive assassination ability, her husband's situation will be very dangerous.
This is why she always wanted Allen to kill the other party.
"Am I being targeted?" Emiya Kiritsugu took out a cigarette from his pocket again, put it in his mouth and lit it.
It can be seen that the heavy pressure is almost driving this guy to collapse.
Especially tonight's battle made him realize for the first time the cruelty and danger of Holy Grail War.
Although the methods used to deal with other Magus are also applicable to dealing with geniuses like Kayneth, if there is even the slightest mistake in the whole process, the person who dies will become himself.
As for Holy Grail War, which has seven Servant participating, the most important thing is unexpected situations.
"Did you know that Father Rin Tohsaka of Holy Church actually established a very deep friendship with Tohsaka family a long time ago?" Allen suddenly asked in a confused manner.
"You mean... Kotomine Kirei and his father are secretly helping Tohsaka Tokiomi?"
Emiya Kiritsugu is indeed the one who won the final victory of Fourth Holy Grail War in the original plot, and he immediately realized the subtext of what he just said.
After all, as early as the opening game, he had already discovered that Assassin was not killed by Golden Flash on the spot when he infiltrated Tohsaka as all Master thought before.
From this point alone, it can be determined that there is definitely something wrong with the priest who took in Kotomine Kirei.
However, considering that the two have a father-son relationship, Emiya Kiritsugu always felt that this was just a simple father helping his son cheat.
But now, he finally began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
You must know that the church and Tohsaka family are both managers of the mysterious power of this land, and are officially recognized by the Mage's Association.
If both sides join forces to seize Holy Grail, there will be no fairness in this war from the beginning.
"Haha, I am only responsible for providing information. It is better for you to make your own judgment on the specific situation. One last reminder, your wish will never come true."
After saying this, Allen picked up Sakura and prepared to summon Flying Mount to return to his residence.
But before he could jump out from the window of the castle, he heard Emiya Kiritsugu shouting from behind, "Wait! Why? Why can't my wish come true?"
"Why? I suggest you read "Das Kapital" and understand how human society has operated from ancient times to the present, and then you will no longer have such ridiculous ideas. Relying on so-called miracles to make the world eternally peaceful? Hahahaha! Sorry, I really can't imagine how ignorant and naive a person must be to have such an idea. At least when I was seven years old, I already understood that the so-called eternal peace does not exist, especially for human beings filled with countless desires."
After saying this, Allen ignored the opponent's livid face and directly summoned Spirit Winged Young Dragon to fly over the woods.
Watching the two people gradually disappear into the darkness, Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath, turned around and asked his wife, "How is it? Have you talked to Berserker? What is his wish to realize by participating in Holy Grail War?"
"He doesn't desire Holy Grail! His only wish is to find an opponent worthy of First Shinobi World War." Irisviel hurriedly told the information he had just collected.
"An opponent worthy of First Shinobi World War?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned subconsciously.
Irisviel nodded seriously. "Yes! He hopes that King of Heroes, King of Conquerors and Saber can join forces to attack him together. He also said that it will be the ultimate enjoyment."
"Looking for an opponent worthy of First Shinobi World War? It really sounds like something Berserker could say." Saber said with a touch of envy in his tone.
Because sometimes, she also hopes that she can let go of the past, let go of the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders, and compete and fight with those strong men as a simple knight.
Unfortunately, as a being who became Heroic Spirit before she died, her obsession with her own failure was so heavy that she could not let it go even after so long.
"Huh - so to speak, Berserker and his Master are not fundamentally opposed to us." Emiya Kiritsugu was obviously relieved.
"What about the little girl? Doesn't she have any wishes that she wants to realize?" Irisviel asked cautiously.
Emiya Kiritsugu answered without thinking, "If I'm not wrong, that little one's biggest wish should be to keep Berserker by her side forever. With the total amount of magic power she currently possesses, she can continue to maintain it even after Holy Grail War ends, without resorting to the power of Holy Grail."
"That's it! That's great!" Irisviel covered his chest with an ecstatic expression.
As a mother, she couldn't bear to kill Sakura, who was about the same age as her own daughter.
"However, although there is no fundamental conflict, Berserker is still a huge unsettling factor. He knows too much, and he is the strongest Servant among this Holy Grail War. If If possible, I hope to form an alliance with him, and no matter what, we must sign a non-interference contract. Otherwise, if he intervenes at a critical moment, things will become very troublesome." Emiya Kiritsugu narrowed his eyes and expressed his thoughts.
"Kiritsugu! Servant of Holy Grail War should be the souls of heroes from ancient times or myths and legends, right? But why is Berserker the only one who seems so different, as if he knows everything? Don't you think this is strange?" Hisau Maiya asked a question that bothered him.
"Saber, you are also Heroic Spirit. What do you think of Berserker's abnormal situation?" Irisviel asked his knight.
Saber hesitated for a moment, and then explained in an uncertain tone, "Generally speaking, Heroic Spirit most Heroic Spirit are heroes who left great achievements and legends after death, special beings who are praised and believed by countless people. But what Holy Grail War summoned is just Heroic Spirit They are just clones of. They will return to Throne of Heroes after the war. The memories during the war will not be retained. However, there are some special Heroic Spirits who have signed a contract to become Heroic Spirit during their lifetime, so if they are summoned, they can retain their memories."
There is no doubt that this is how she became Heroic Spirit.
This is also the reason why she can completely retain the memory of Fourth Holy Grail War in Fifth Holy Grail War.
"Live to become Heroic Spirit?!" Irisviel's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
"Then how does he know every one of us so well?" Emiya Kiritsugu questioned.
"I don't know! Maybe he has been summoned to a parallel world, or even participated in a Holy Grail War that is very similar to our world, so he knows so much. Of course, it is not ruled out that he has the Noble Phantasm and ability to pry into other people's hearts, memories, and even souls." Saber analyzed with his head hanging down.
Maguss are actually no strangers to parallel worlds.
As early as when Second Magic was created, a small number of people had traveled to parallel time and space.
It's just that the power of magic is something that is out of reach for most Magus. Although many have heard of it, few have actually seen it.
"I see! It seems that the origin of this Berserker is quite extraordinary."
When he said this, the expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face was extremely ugly.
Because if this inference is correct, it means that in a certain parallel world, I also participated in Fourth Holy Grail War and won the final victory, but failed to realize my inner wish.
So at this moment, all he could think about was what went wrong.
Is it because Holy Grail is not capable enough to realize such a grand and abstract wish as allowing mankind to maintain peace forever?
Or has human desire finally broken the limits of Holy Grail?
Or maybe when I made a wish, my wording was not rigorous enough, resulting in an error in the wish?
For a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu's brain fell into chaos, accompanied by strong self-doubt.
Similarly, Kayneth, who is far away in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, is also facing the most important choice in his life.
Because his beloved fiancée—Sola Nazelay Sophialy, cruelly broke off her little finger just a few seconds ago, and now she is holding the hand that only has Command Spells, and threatens her with a yandere look. "Dear My dear, with my level of psychic healing, I cannot forcefully extract the Command Spells rooted in your hand. I can only obtain your consent. If you don't agree to it anyway, then I will have to remove this hand."
As the last word blurted out, the eyes of this woman with short red hair revealed a light that made Kayneth feel trembling all over.
He can guarantee that if the word "no" comes out of his mouth again, the threat will immediately turn into actual action.
Obviously, what Director Kayneth was most worried about finally happened.
The ruthlessness and cruelty of women towards "licking dogs" are also vividly reflected at this moment...
