It was so sudden. This change was so sudden and beyond everyone's expectations that people were stunned when they saw this scene and did not react.

Light Screen image, the slow motion mode is directly turned on at this moment.

Accompanied by a sudden sound, slow BGM with indifference and sadness, as if time has been slowed down many times, the bullet comes out of the barrel, sparks bloom from the muzzle, the bullet tears the air, leaving ripples in the air, and goes towards Kayneth.

Kayneth still kept opening the church door without reacting at all, which fully proved that although he was an excellent True Magic teacher, his reaction speed was not much better than that of ordinary people.

Then, the camera moved to Diarmuid outside the church. The latter originally had a satisfied and blessed smile on his face, but that smile gradually turned into anger in slow motion.

Heroic Spirit's reaction speed and strength agility far exceed that of humans, allowing him to clearly capture the bullets fired by Emiya Kiritsugu.

However, Diarmuid is now too far away from Kayneth.

Kotomine Church of Fuyuki City is a quite large church. There is a garden outside the main body of the church. The real door of the church is outside the garden.

Diarmuid is standing outside this gate, because Holy Grail War has regulations that when going to see the supervisor, Servant is not allowed to enter the church area, and the church area is also a safe area, and contestants are not allowed to fight here.

As an honest person, Kayneth completely complied with this rule and believed that the church was a safe zone and that he would not be attacked.

Therefore, Kayneth and Diarmuid are now almost fifty meters apart.

Normally, this distance would be reduced to nothing in just one breath. As Servant possesses A+ level agility, Diarmuid is so fast.

However, at this moment, the distance of fifty meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Diarmuid made a judgment almost instantly. At this moment, he threw Gáe Buidhe in his hand directly, and the target was exactly the trajectory of the bullet's flight.

In slow motion, Diarmuid's throwing action is also very slow. People watching are very anxious and wish he could go faster.

However, Diarmuid has already reached full speed. This can be seen from the bullet Mystery. Its movement is even faster than the bullet.

Therefore, when the camera zooms out, people can clearly see that the yellow spear is also heading towards Kayneth at a speed that breaks through the air. The target is not Kayneth, but the trajectory of Kayneth being attacked by bullets.

As the bullets get closer and closer to Kayneth, the rhythm of the BGM becomes more and more rapid, and the people in front of the Light Screen images they carry become more and more nervous.

Many people can't help but keep whispering words like "I must catch up, I must catch up" to relieve the tension in their hearts.

Obviously, Kayneth's recent performance has won him a lot of favor and popularity. Anyone with normal views would not want anything to happen to this somewhat arrogant and good True Magic teacher.

As the BGM came to the final moment and the rhythm became faster and faster, Kayneth's Volumen Hydrargyrum automatically defended, wrapping up Kayneth in just a short time.

However, that special magic-breaking bullet directly penetrated Volumen Hydrargyrum, and hit Kayneth's right shoulder the next moment. Gáe Buidhe thrown by Diarmuid was ultimately a step too late, and almost missed the bullet.

The next moment, the BGM ends, the slow motion ends, and everything returns to normal.

Then, the camera zoomed directly into the injured area of Kayneth, and saw that the bullet erupted in Kayneth's body, completely destroying Kayneth's True Magic circuit, and then brutally mixed them together.

This caused Kayneth's magic power to go berserk. When the camera went back outside, it was seen that Kayneth's expression froze for a moment because of being shot, and then he let out a painful scream. The meridians on his body bulged directly, and then the blood vessels all over his body burst. He looked extremely miserable.

This appearance was actually shown in the previous Light Screen video, that is when Kayneth ran to the line between Einzbern Castle and Emiya Kiritsugu.

At that time, Kayneth became what he is now in a suspected illusion, and that illusion was a future possibility that Marisbury told Kayneth.

That time, Kayneth was cautious and wore a body armor, so Emiya Kiritsugu's special bullet did not really hurt Kayneth, but this time it was definitely obvious that he was not wearing a body armor.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Kayneth, whose True Magic circuits were completely destroyed, screamed in pain. At the same time, Volumen Hydrargyrum also lost his controller and source of magic power due to the destruction of his True Magic circuits, and directly and automatically retracted into Kayneth's body to store Volumen Hydrargyrum.

Then, Diarmuid roared hysterically, "My Lord!!!"

While roaring, he rushed to Kayneth and supported Kayneth who fell softly to the ground.

Seeing Master's miserable appearance, Diarmuid's heart was filled with regret and incompetent rage. He had sworn to protect and be loyal to the new master, but he watched Master become like this in front of his face. This was the greatest torture and irony for him.

In an instant, Diarmuid's eyes turned red, and he suddenly looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already started running out with a gun.

This is shooting and running, it's so exciting!

However, this was not over yet. When Diarmuid was about to rush over and cut Emiya Kiritsugu into pieces, Emiya Kiritsugu just said to another person through the headset, "Maiya Hisau, do it."

The camera moved to the mountain outside the church. Hisau Maiya was standing on the trunk of a tree, holding a telescope in his left hand to look at the situation in the church, and holding a remote control with a red button in his right hand.

After receiving the command from Emiya Kiritsugu, Hisau Maiya immediately pressed the red button.

Then...

Boom boom boom boom~~~

Kotomine Church exploded directly, and multiple remote-controlled C4 bombs exploded at the same time, instantly engulfing the place with a fiery explosion.

This explosion directly caused Diarmuid to immediately protect his own Master Kayneth, and had no time to pursue Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu took a gun and jumped out of the church wall at the same time as the explosion, and then drilled into the sewer wellhead that had been opened long ago to avoid being swallowed by the big explosion.

He quickly left along the sewer, and his voice also sounded, "In this way, both the Lancer group and the Assassin group will be solved."

Then, the memory kill appeared, and time went back to the time when he was dealing with the Roshan monster. When he saw Saber liberating Sword of Promised Victory's true power and breaking all the city's isolation barriers, he thought that something might be wrong with Kotomine Church.

The isolation barrier was violently broken, and the True Magic props that unfolded the barrier would inevitably be damaged by the explosion. The magic impact might destroy both the person in charge of Kotomine Church and the security barrier of Kotomine Church.

So, Emiya Kiritsugu asked his assistant Hisau Maiya to confirm the situation. If something really happened there, he would install a remote-controlled bomb there, and when Kotomine Kirei came back, he would detonate the bomb directly.

Immediately afterwards, the memory killing progressed to Emiya Kiritsugu, who discovered that Kayneth was heading to Kotomine Church, and then arrived one step ahead of time to ambush Kayneth there.

Emiya Kiritsugu does not know the true purpose of Kayneth coming to Kotomine Church. His memory killer interprets this as a reward for Kayneth coming to Kotomine Church to defeat Bluebeard.

After all, Kotomine Risei, as the supervisor, has said that those who participate in the crusade against Bluebeard will be rewarded with a painting of Command Spell after solving Bluebeard.

Because night is during the battle of Holy Grail War, even if the battle against Bluebeard has ended, no one is 100% sure that there will be no new battle.

Therefore, just in case, the Masters participating in the crusade are preparing to go back during the day tomorrow. Even if they encounter other combinations, they cannot take action, because fighting is prohibited during the day. This is the rule of Holy Grail War. Anyone who violates it will encounter the same treatment as Bluebeard and be besieged by everyone.

Of course, this is just the choice of most Master, and it does not mean that it is the case for everyone.

Emiya Kiritsugu thinks that Kayneth can't wait to receive the reward, because Kayneth's character is really capable of doing such a thing.

So, Emiya Kiritsugu's temporary plan to kill three birds with one stone became.

Obviously, Emiya Kiritsugu completely ignored the rule that Holy Grail War could not cause trouble in the Kotomine Church area. Knowing the true identity of Kotomine Kirei, he had already included Kotomine Church in his hunting list.

At the same time, using oneself to save others, Emiya Kiritsugu did not believe that the Command Spell given by Kotomine Risei would be so simple, and might be tampering with it, so he never thought about getting it, and did not want others to get it, thus increasing the variables in this Holy Grail War.

Before Kayneth arrived, Li Shuwen had already returned with Kotomine Kirei. The latter seemed to be completely unable to withstand the mental impact of the flesh-injured monster and actually fell into a coma. Therefore, he was also in a coma when he was brought back by Li Shuwen.

The above is the information carried in the Emiya Kiritsugu memory killing, so that everyone can know the whole process.

In the real world, people no longer know what to say. This Emiya Kiritsugu is really dirty!

Tonight, everyone temporarily united to fight against the big monster, and the cooperation was pretty good. After the fight, everyone started to split up and the atmosphere was harmonious. Even Conqueror King and King of Heroes, who were facing each other in tit-for-tat, agreed to decide the winner next time.

As a result, as Emiya Kiritsugu, you are already plotting against others before the war is over, and directly let your own assistants carry out the action.

At the end of the war, when everyone was in a state of mental relaxation, Emiya Kiritsugu took action boldly and defeated several enemies in one go.

This method is really dirty!

Likewise, it's cruel enough!

Its behavior also fully demonstrated the essence of Holy Grail War.

The epic battle between Heroic Spirit is certainly very romantic and full of fantasy.

However, this is essentially a war of killing each other.

Since it is a war, it is not surprising that any crazy and dirty methods will appear, because the essence of human war is to constantly lower the lower limit of the human race.

The first update today, the second update today.

I woke up this morning with a bad heart, dizzy head, and high blood pressure that could not be lowered. I went to the hospital and went home in the evening.

The doctor told you not to stay up late and go to bed before 11 o'clock, otherwise you may GG at any time.

So today I will update my first two updates. I will adjust my schedule and try my best to complete the daily 10,000-word update during the day.
