"Saber?"
As other Servant and Master evacuated one after another, Irisviel finally came out of the hiding place and stood next to Saber, staring at the other person's eyes full of sadness, loss and despair.
Anyone can tell from the expression on her face that the legendary King Arthur is in an extremely depressed mood at the moment, as if she has lost interest in everything.
After all, even Noble Phantasm like "Excalibur" is completely useless. Artoria really doesn't know how he can defeat Allen and win this year's Holy Grail War.
If you can't win Holy Grail, what's the point of your persistence?
Thinking of this, Saber turned his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "Don't worry, Alice, I'm fine, I'm just disappointed with myself. It turns out that what I have always believed in and carried is nothing more than this. This holy sword is humiliated in my hands."
"Don't say that! Berserker is not Heroic Spirit in the ordinary sense." Irisviel comforted him with great distress.
"Not Heroic Spirit in the ordinary sense?" Saber frowned in confusion.
Obviously, she didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence at all.
Just when Irisviel wanted to further explain the origin of Allen, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately interrupted, "There is no time to explain! We must leave here immediately and get in touch with Berserker. The nuclear warhead has fully proved that what he said before is at least 80% credible."
"You mean..." Irisviel suddenly became very excited.
"Ah! That's right! We may have to take some remedial measures before it's too late."
After saying that, Emiya Kiritsugu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath.
There is no doubt that everything that happened tonight has destroyed almost all his cognition and plans, and he urgently needs nicotine to calm down his chaotic brain.
You must know that the normal look of not caring about anything is actually deliberately disguised by this man.
Deep down, he was in more pain and suffering than the other Masters, and longed to escape with his wife and daughter.
Because no matter whether he can win Holy Grail War in the end, Irisviel will die because of this.
What's even more frightening is that if the wish is not fulfilled, then daughter Illyasviel will have to serve as a substitute for her mother and become the container for the next Holy Grail.
This is why, after discovering that Holy Grail had been contaminated in the original plot, Emiya Kiritsugu almost gave up everything and stayed in Fuyuki City like a twilight old man to complete the last journey of his life.
The collapse of goals and beliefs is naturally one aspect.
But the most important thing is that his wife has died because of this, and his assistant Hisau Maiya, who was raised since childhood, also lost his life in the battle, and the daughter will have to make meaningless sacrifices like her mother in the future.
It can almost be said that he lost everyone he cared about and loved.
After such a blow, not committing suicide on the spot was considered quite strong.
It is estimated that the only reason that supports Emiya Kiritsugu's survival is his deep guilt for Emiya Shirou.
Soon, before the fog dissipated, two cars carrying four people, including Saber, quickly left the dock and disappeared into the vast night.
At this moment, Fuyuki City, which was disrupted by Abyss Seed, has returned to calm. Almost thousands of people have been arrested or shot to death by the police.
Burning flames can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, as well as countless smashed shops and houses.
Occasionally, you can see policemen and firefighters sitting on the roadside taking a rest, looking exhausted.
Obviously, the chaos caused by French Marshal may not last long, but the damage to the city is catastrophic.
It is estimated that just from the economic losses, it will not take a few months to a year or two to recover.
Beyond that, the riots destroyed trust between people.
Especially those unlucky ones who are being controlled. It is estimated that even he himself can't figure out why he suddenly went crazy, why he suddenly couldn't suppress the darkness, violence and anger in his heart.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Magus who participated in Holy Grail War.
At least in the eyes of Kayneth, who had 99% of his body Magic Circuit destroyed, even Command Spells taken away by his fiancée, and a green light on his head, it didn't matter no matter how many ordinary people died.
Now, he is sitting in a wheelchair, and there is only one thing he wants to do, and that is to regain control of Servant.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm really busy tonight."
With a deep voice, church priest Rin Tohsaka slowly walked in from the side door.
It is easy to see from the tired expression on his face that he wasted a lot of energy and time in dealing with the trouble caused by the battle between Allen and Gil de Rey at the port, and even used some unconventional means.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the US Army station in Japan to fool them.
"Huh huh huh! There's no way, it's an important matter after all, and the covert work isn't that easy." A meaningful smile appeared on Kayneth's face.
"So be it! The noise this time was too great, even Holy Church couldn't handle it, forcing me to use everything I could. If magic is really exposed to the sight of ordinary people, it will inevitably cause a new round of mysterious decline, which is an unacceptable result for all of us." Rin Tohsaka explained with a slight sigh.
But Kayneth, who had lost his Magus qualification, was obviously not interested in these. He asked directly Opening Gate: "Your Excellency, Father, how is the judgment of my application? In other words, when do you plan to pay me the reward for defeating Caster?"
"Sorry, I don't remember what role Lancer played in the crusade against Caster. To be precise, during this crusade, only Berserker's Master was eligible for the additional Command Spells reward." Rin Tohsaka rejected the other party's rude request without thinking.
After all, Allen used Myriad Thunder to isolate the possibility of other Heroic Spirit participating in the battle, so the battlefield looked very clear.
It is completely different from the scene of numerous Servant fighting in the original plot.
"It's not that Lancer doesn't want to help! It's that Berserker blocked him! At least in terms of my will, I actively responded to the church's call. Based on this alone, I think I am qualified to receive additional Command Spells rewards." Kayneth argued with reason.
We can't help but fight!
Otherwise, he believes that something will happen to his fiancée Sola and Diarmuid soon.
At that time, the green light on the head will completely turn into a green hat.
No man could possibly endure such humiliation and failure.
Seeing the unwillingness and anger in Director Kayneth's eyes, Rin Tohsaka subconsciously glanced at the other party's mangled body and the smooth back of his right hand without any marks, and questioned softly, "Your Excellency Kayneth·Archibald. According to your current state, I don't know whether I should regard you as a Master."
"The contract with Lancer is made by my fiancée Sola and I, so please don't worry about this." Kayneth threw out the excuse he had prepared.
Anyway, it is impossible for outsiders to know that he handed over Command Spells only after being forced by his fiancée.
"Oh? So, Ms. Sola is solely responsible for the provision of magic power and the owner of Command Spells?" Rin Tohsaka narrowed her eyes and continued to explore.
The priest was obviously planning to get the news out and then tell his ally Tokiomi.
Kayneth smiled and nodded, "Indeed! I now hand over Command Spells to Sola for temporary custody, but the control of the contract is still in my hands. Besides, don't you think Berserker is a little too powerful? We are the only ones All the remaining Master must work together to get rid of it first, so that Holy Grail War can be restored to balance. Therefore, giving me a Command Spells is a beneficial thing for both the church and Tohsaka Tokiomi."
"Haha! Okay, I admit that you are a qualified person." Rin Tohsaka was obviously moved by these words. He immediately stood up and moved the front of the wheelchair, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the arm full of Command Spells. "Please extend your hand, Lord Kayneth."
Director Kayneth Without any hesitation, he immediately handed over the right hand whose little finger had been broken off by his fiancée.
"Drink this, all of you! For this is my blood of the covenant! Shed for many! For the remission of sins..."
Along with the spell chanted by the priest, all Command Spells released a bright red light.
The next second...
A line of Command Spells appeared on the back of Kayneth's hand.
Seeing the lost thing, he immediately couldn't help laughing wildly, "Hahahaha! That's right! This should have been mine in the first place!"
"Then, please continue to fight for glory as Master." After saying that, Rin Tohsaka put down his sleeves and walked slowly towards the side door.
But before he could take a few steps, a crisp gunshot echoed in the church hall.
Bang!
Without any accident, the bullet hit the priest directly in the vital part.
The person who was shot died on the spot without even a chance to react.
What Director Kayneth did at this moment fully proved the two Truth.
One of them is, of course, "Sir, times have changed."
The other one is "Law of True Fragrance".
Although not long ago, he despised Emiya Kiritsugu's use of firearms as an insult to Magus.
But after losing 99% of Magic Circuit, he decisively chose the gun as his last weapon.
The reason why Kayneth decided to kill Death's father was mainly because he did not want other Master to obtain Command Spells as a supplement.
You don't need to ask to know that this guy has not given up his plan to capture Holy Grail.
Because he had clearly rejected Allen's last invitation before, there was currently no other way to recover from his horrific injuries except Holy Grail.
At the same time, after returning to the residence on the top floor of the building, Allen personally cooked a table full of dishes, trying to appease Aoi and Rin's uneasy emotions.
After personally experiencing the passive skill of "Tohsaka family members falling off the chain at critical moments", he had no intention of letting the mother and daughter go back.
As Fourth Holy Grail War begins to run in an unknown direction, God knows what will happen next.
What's more, with Aoi as his mother, he finally doesn't have to worry about Sakura's education and mental health all day long.
"It seems you're not going to let us go home, right?"
After eating this sumptuous meal, I didn't know whether it was dinner or a midnight snack, Aoi finally asked in a low voice while her two daughters ran to take a bath.
"You guessed it right, madam. After all, Tokiomi's performance is so disappointing. Whether as a father or as a husband, he has seriously neglected his duty." Allen answered in the affirmative without thinking.
Aoi was undoubtedly mentally prepared for this answer. She just smiled helplessly and did not defend her husband.
Because she knew that the other party was right.
Tokiomi may be an excellent Magus and an excellent head of the family, but he is by no means an excellent husband and father.
In this man's eyes, the supreme pursuit of magic comes first.
As for the rest, they all have to stand aside.
After a long silence, Aoi asked again, "Will you kill Tokiomi?"
Allen smiled and shook his head, "No, no. I will only let Sakura destroy his dignity and pride as Magus, and trample these things under my feet like garbage. But just because I don't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't do it. After all, the most dangerous person now is already beside Tokiomi, but he knows nothing about it."
"The most dangerous person? You mean...Kotomine Kirei?!" Aoi covered her mouth in surprise.
"That's right! Maybe you don't know yet? Tokiomi has repeatedly touched Gilgamesh's bottom line, which has made this King of Heroes quite dissatisfied. And the conversation between him and Kotomine Kirei is much longer than the conversation between your husband and him. The most important thing is Yes, for Servant, the death of Master is not a big deal, they just need to find another person to replace him. Coincidentally, Kotomine Kirei happened to have Command Spells, and also lost Servant Assassin..."
Allen did not hide anything, and directly stated the crisis Tokiomi was facing at the moment.
He felt that the reason why the Joyful Group still failed to kill this annoying guy was probably because the threat they posed was too great.
Tokiomi is just suitable as cannon fodder at the front.
"Please, save Tokiomi. No matter what, he is Sakura and Rin's biological father. My requirements are not high, as long as he survives, it doesn't matter even if he needs to lie in a hospital bed for the rest of his life."
Aoi plopped down on her knees and begged.
As a full-time housewife, she simply cannot bear the blow caused by her husband's death, and she also does not feel that she can support the family by herself.
"I can only say that I will do my best and will not give you any guarantee. As for whether Tokiomi can escape this disaster, it depends on his next choice."
After saying this, Allen opened the floor-to-ceiling window and jumped directly.
In the process of falling, he did not forget to take out his mobile phone and press the answer button, and said to the person on the other side of the phone, "Yeah! Yeah! That's right! Just wait for me there. Of course, if you want to solve Kayneth, I have no objection..."
