The Collection of The End

My name is Elijah

I'm watching Kiritsugu play infiltrate.

155:47:12

"Did you feel it? Saber?"

On the southern outskirts of Fuyuki City, a very ordinary black car is parked on the side of an unnamed low mountain winding road. No matter its owner, the number of kilometers it has driven, and the reason for appearing here at this moment are all very ordinary, even if someone deliberately investigates , and it is impossible to connect it with the Einzbern family.

Emiya Kiritsugu was standing at the front of the car looking at the Tohsaka house below the mountain, and asked Saber Alter who was quietly standing behind him.

Without Maiya's control, the bat familiars that originally collected information for Kiritsugu quickly returned to their wild habits and scattered away. Even if Kiritsugu was able to forcibly take back and control a few of them, the entire intelligence network was still fragmented, so the person who rescued her Action is imperative.

Before that, if you want to detect the opponent's servants and magic barriers, letting the servants approach and perceive the fluctuation of magic power is not a solution.

"Yes, there is a dense reconnaissance barrier around the big house, but there are no masters or servants inside." Saber Alter, who was wearing a black suit and looked stern, responded like a real bodyguard. .

"Very good, you just wait here, and if any servant approaches, let me know immediately." Kiritsugu nodded, stepped forward two steps over the guardrail, and began to organize his equipment.

The so-called 'communication' is a communication method invented by Kiritsugu using the magic power connection between the master and the servant. In simple terms, it is based on Saber's reserved skill [Magic Power Release], using the frequency of Morse code to communicate. Consuming magic power, Kiritsugu can understand the meaning to be expressed through decoding after sensing it through the magic circuit.

Although it seems like a waste of mana, Saber has no objection to it for some reason.

At this time, Kiritsugu was not wearing the usual suit and windbreaker suit, but a gray tights with a dark red hood like an Assassin, even if the familiar who monitored Tohsaka house saw it, he couldn't recognize who it was.

And the reason why Saber was not allowed to participate in this operation was that the scale of magic power she possessed could make those induction barriers sound alarms from far away - they were originally used to guard against Ssrvent, and Kiritsugu didn't intend to understand those What happens when the alert is triggered.

"Hmm." Saber nodded in agreement, and then watched Kiritsugu jump over the road fence, like a huge bat.

After watching Kiritsugu leave her range of perception, Saber turned around and opened the door of the back seat, and picked up a large red tube-shaped box from the "supplies" piled up on the seat that faintly smelled of fried chicken and French fries.

everything is normal.

While replenishing her magic power, she sent a message to Kiritsugu.

155:39:09

Tosaka Tokiomi, as one of the Holy Grail War's three imperial families, the manager of the Fuyuki Lingmai, and the main person in charge of the local magician association, cannot and does not need to conceal the location of his base camp, he only needs to set up enough protective measures inside and outside. .

Although he, his disciples, his wife and daughter could go in and out normally, it was because they had the permission to go in and out. If an uninvited guest came uninvited, whether it was the enemy's familiar or the infiltrating killer, they would encounter strong resistance and counterattack.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu, who sneaked in from the back mountain, was trapped in the garden of the mansion.

From the perspective of a magician killer, the function of the enchantment in this garden is relatively simple. It is just to activate the preset magic in a statue to attack after finding the enemy, but the problem is that there are too many nodes used to scan the enemy , There are gems that are constantly spreading magic pulses hidden in the grass, street lamps, benches and even small fountains.

They act like sonar, a pulse of magic power is safe if it travels to its destination,

Any interference means that there is "something" there, and the reaction spell will immediately activate and strike at that location.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu didn't take this simple magic attack seriously, and it would be no problem to destroy it forcibly, but only the back garden would use violent means, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with the magic trap inside the mansion.

If the flow of magic power in the garden at this moment is regarded as fallen leaves, then Emiya Kiritsugu is equivalent to walking in a deciduous forest in late autumn, and he cannot let any leaf touch his body.

[Inherent Time Control·Double Speed]!

In the end, after judging that it was impossible to pass through the barrier with normal skills without destroying any magic power nodes, Emiya Kiritsugu used his unique magic to pass through the space between several magic power pulses at an incredible speed. The gap reached the back door of Tohsaka's house.

There were no magic seals or traps on the back door, which slightly surprised Kiritsugu, but he quickly forgot about it and concentrated on opening the lock.

Everything is normal, and at this time Saber's information is transmitted through the magic link.

Although he really wanted to question why she sent messages so fast, but in fact Kiritsugu knew the reason very well and remained silent in the end.

155:27:41

Contrary to expectations, there are almost no protective measures in the part above the ground in the Tohsaka mansion. This is of course, not to mention that those rooms are basically living areas. It will be troublesome if they are destroyed, and the space is not enough for a confrontation between magic methods.

Although there may be magic items collected by the Tohsaka family on the upper floor, as a magician killer, he doesn't really care about those things.

If what I expected is correct, the underground space here is the base camp of the Tohsaka family as a magician, and the related protection and enemy defense methods are also...

bump--!

A huge arm struck with the sound of the wind, verifying the guess of Emiya Kiritsugu who had just sneaked into the basement of the mansion.

"Is that... a puppet?" Kiritsugu dodged the attack, and quickly observed the attacker and the surrounding environment.

This basement is empty and there are no other redundant arrangements at all. There is nothing except the walls, floors and ceilings that have been strengthened by magic. On the opposite side of the door leading to other rooms or the next floor, guarding the two and attacking themselves The guy is exactly like the golem.

Golems are generally used by magicians to guard fixed locations. Most of them are made of earth and rocks, and they are shaped like giants. However, there are also methods of using steel as a material to increase strength.

As for the head in front of Kiritsugu, the material used is ruby...

Although it has been mentioned in the information that the Tohsaka family is good at gem magic, and the materials are not precious gem stones, and even if the puppet is destroyed, the gem fragments can continue to be used, but it still makes people feel that a local tyrant treats the poor malicious.

Finding that the punch failed and the target was far away from him, the Ruby Golem directly slammed into it according to the preset settings, and this kind of direct attack would naturally have no effect on Kiritsugu.

Although using ruby ​​as a material will increase the strength of the body, the position of the magic core is clear due to the transparency of the material. While dodging, the magician killer took out a light machine gun equipped with a silencer, and fired directly at the back of the golem .

Puff puff puff - bang!

As expected, its outer layer was given the magic of deflecting and projecting attacks, but it could not do anything about this kind of direct attack. The originally menacing ruby ​​puppet collapsed into a pile of ruby ​​fragments after being pierced through the magic core. .

Moreover, the action logic of this kind of magic creation is very simple. Even if the two gatekeepers did not come over here, it is a clear proof. If there are such things in the underground workshop, it will save a lot of trouble, and soon After knocking down the two gatekeeper golems, Kiritsugu opened the door.

Everything is normal, Saber repeated again.

155:07:18

Between the curses, it generally refers to a specific magic workshop where the entire room is strengthened by various restrictions and weakening magic. It is basically used by magicians to restrain dangerous summons, but it can also imprison people with magical abilities or Carry out a magic experiment, and if the expectations are correct, Maiya should be locked in such a "cursed room".

After half an hour of intense fighting in the underground workshop of the Tohsaka family, which could be called an underground fortress, Kiritsugu finally arrived at his destination.

Although the mana was somewhat over-consumed and the bullets were almost used up, but there were no other enemies left, Kiritsugu stretched out his hand and pressed the doorknob between the curses in front of him.

At present, apart from the conventional puppet guards and magic traps, no intentional settings have been found to target him, so Tosaka Tokiomi probably does not intend to use his assistant to invite Jun into the urn. Of course, they may not know Mai Mi's importance to oneself.

"Kiritsugu! Quickly retreat!"

As soon as the door opened, Kiritsugu heard Maiya's voice, and seemed to be anxious to let him go. If it was other occasions where there was insufficient information, Kiritsugu would naturally agree with the assistant's judgment and withdraw immediately, but at this moment he is not sure what happened or said It was clear at a glance what was going to happen.

Hisau Maiya was trapped in a magic circle. In addition to the conventional magic prohibition and restraint, it also had the characteristic of exploding when attacked by external force. With Kiritsugu's level, it could be easily dispelled.

But the problem is that next to the magic circle, there is a big guy who is twice as big as the puppets I eliminated before. Through the transparent body of the ruby, it can be seen that its magic core has been deliberately strengthened, and it cannot be used. Destroy it again.

So, the reason why he didn't set more traps outside is because he has confidence in this guy? If he wrestled with it, the aftermath would inevitably hit the magic circle and explode, then the puppet would be fine, and Kiritsugu and Maiya trapped in the circle would be in danger.

Such a cold and effective method should be written by Kotomine Kirei, but as an agent, he doesn't know the meaning of the Holy Grail War, this is no ordinary duel between magicians.

Kiritsugu nodded soothingly to Maiya who was trapped there with a panicked expression, and then looked at the ruby ​​golem approaching him and stretched out his right hand.

everything is-

"In the name of the command spell, Saber Alter will come to me immediately and destroy the core of this puppet!"

The sword-shaped command spell on the back of Kiritsugu's hand dimmed, and at the same time, the light in the space between the spells also dimmed. The giant puppet that was approaching at first stopped, and when the lighting reappeared, it stopped. In an instant, it turned into fragments all over the ground.

"Only to this extent?" The black-armored Saber who appeared behind the puppet put away the long black sword in her hand with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Well, as long as you think it's worth it."

The Magician Killer forced himself to ignore the fast food box that Saber had just casually dropped behind the puppet debris pile.

"When he set up this trap, he probably didn't consider the combat power of the heroic spirit at all." Kiritsugu released the magic circle that restrained Maiya, and said to her, "Let's get out of here."

"...Hmm." Hisau Maiya seemed to want to say something, but finally nodded and gave up.

In the next instant, a pitch-black figure rushed towards Emiya Kiritsugu from a corner.
