"Goodbye! Bang!"
"Boom!"
What rang out at the same time was not just the gunshot, but also the collision between Gilgamesh's and the Lion King's Noble Phantasms. Enormous magical energy and wind pressure swept in instantly.
The Origin Bullet fired from the gun was deflected by the wind pressure, grazing past Archer and vanishing into the sky.
The violent magical energy and immense wind pressure crushed everything in their path. Archer and Assassin had no choice but to stop fighting and leap from the swaying high-rise.
In midair, Archer turned his head, looked at the masked Assassin, and shouted at him.
"Kiritsugu, is that you?!"
Hearing Archer's words, Assassin glanced back at him, then used Scapegoat without hesitation to switch places with an ordinary civilian and vanish from the air.
Archer watched in frustration as the civilian woman screamed in confusion midair. Using a chunk of rubble that had fallen from the building, he reached her and caught her in his arms.
After landing, Archer casually set the woman down behind a sturdy pillar.
"All right, miss, you can open your eyes now."
The passerby, who had been screaming in fear with her eyes shut, opened them. Seeing the handsome Archer before her, she blushed, then hurriedly bowed to him over and over in thanks.
Archer ignored the passerby and looked up at the sky.
"Kiritsugu, have you become something like me too? Do you regret it?"
The wind pressure and magical energy dissipated, and everything returned to silence.
A crater several kilometers wide had appeared in Fuyuki City. Rin looked at the surroundings, all of which had been ground flat, and her heart suddenly trembled as a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
Martha looked at the girl before her, sighed, and asked.
"Do you regret it?"
