Information on the battlefield is a lifeline. It was clear that in this regard, his ally far surpassed their own side, and even all participants in this Holy Grail War.

Kiritsugu Emiya listened silently to the young man's information, then looked him straight in the eyes, searching for an answer. "I want to ask you something. How much information do you have about the participants in this Holy Grail War?"

Kiritsugu's tactic was to "disrupt the opponent's mind" from beginning to end. Where the enemy planned to attack, what their goals were—if he could foresee the opponent's actions in advance, he could discover their blind spots and weaknesses. Moreover, as Mages, they generally possessed a "sense of purpose" higher than ordinary people. It was precisely because of this that Kiritsugu never failed in his "hunts."

However, in a hunt, the roles of prey and hunter are never fixed. In this forest called Fuyuki City, a beast more cunning than Kiritsugu Emiya, the lone wolf, had appeared. He had gathered information on the other hunters in advance, knowing their weaknesses and habits. Then, he moved among the various hunters, setting traps for the decisive battle.

Kiritsugu Emiya had to admit he feared Li Zihan, not the power of his Servant, Berserker, but the unknown lurking behind Li Zihan.

"Who knows?" The young man, about to lose his support, did not directly answer Kiritsugu Emiya's question. "Perhaps I know everything, perhaps I know nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man completely disappeared, leaving only his lingering voice.

Kiritsugu Emiya stared intently at the spot where the young man had stood for a long time.

"Saber, has he left?" Kiritsugu Emiya turned to ask his Servant.

"He's gone," Saber, who had been silent, replied.

"That's good. I'll rest for a while," Kiritsugu Emiya muttered to himself. Suddenly, he clutched his chest with one hand, bent over, and coughed violently. Bloody foam spilled from the corner of his mouth, and a large amount of blood was vomited onto the ground. Saber could even see fragments of internal organs in the pool of blood.

"Kiritsugu! What's wrong!" Irisviel hurried forward, wanting to help Kiritsugu Emiya up, but afraid of aggravating his injuries, she could only stand in front of him and use healing magic to help.

Kiritsugu Emiya's condition had been consistently poor. First, he was bombarded by Kaineth's gem magic, forcing him to flee the magic circle in a sorry state. When he returned to the Einzbern Family's castle to recuperate, he was pursued by Berserker and soundly beaten at his own home.

Kiritsugu Emiya still didn't understand why Berserker only targeted him. Saber, the main combatant, was knocked out after only five minutes of resistance due to a hand injury, and Berserker did only one thing in the remaining time.

Afterward, Kiritsugu Emiya had a new set of close-fitting undergarments made of bandages.

As the saying goes, hit them to death, provided they can't be killed.

With old wounds not yet healed, new ones were added.

After being severely beaten by Alcaeus, Li Zihan sent a Familiar clone to visit again. As the true decision-maker for the Einzbern Family in this Holy Grail War, how could Kiritsugu Emiya not step forward?

While forcibly suppressing his injuries, he had to guard against Li Zihan's sudden outburst, and then spend a lot of effort negotiating with the newly formed alliance...

After confirming that Li Zihan had truly left, Kiritsugu Emiya relaxed slightly, only to have misfortune strike.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya had no intention of stopping his progress. Only by constantly moving forward would the path beneath his feet continue to extend.

"Iris? Please have Rider's Master speak with me," Kiritsugu Emiya said to his wife.

"Huh? Huh? Okay!" After a moment of surprise, Irisviel looked at her husband with concern. Kiritsugu Emiya must have his reasons for making such a decision, but was his body truly alright?

"Kiritsugu Emiya, do you really intend to form an alliance with Berserker's Master?" Saber, having calmed down, said to Kiritsugu Emiya. "This is like seeking a tiger for its skin."

"So what?" Kiritsugu Emiya retorted. "I don't believe a single word he says, but we have no other choice right now."

"No, only one thing he said is a lie," Saber lowered her eyelids, a significant portion of her sacred blue eyes hidden beneath the shadow of her eyelashes.

"Which one?"

"Reconstructing the Holy Grail."
