The person standing in front of Weber at this moment is Assassin, the assassin with purple hair and black clothes who seems to be melting into the darkness.

But aren't they dead?

If he wasn’t dead... then why did he reappear in front of us now!

Suddenly thinking of some possibility, Weber couldn't help but shuddered and hugged his soaked shoulders.

In other words, Assassin's master now plays the role of this job to the greatest extent, and it was not until Assassin, who had been hiding in the dark, was exposed in order to save me.

And before that, how much information did Assassin obtain from the unsuspecting us? How many weaknesses did he discover?

This kind of thing makes me shudder just thinking about it!

Being immersed in water for a long time made Weber feel cold all over, and excessive thinking and worry made his face turn blue, making him look uglier than death.

So, who is the current master of Assassin?

Why did he want to save me?

Weber was puzzled, but no matter what, the fact that he had been rescued was placed in front of him. At some point, Assassin had disappeared in front of him.

Staring at the place where the black shadow disappeared, Weber murmured in a low voice:

"...is it the end?"

Only when you feel that you are sure of winning, all the monsters and monsters that have been lurking in the dark will be exposed one after another.

With an ominous premonition that the storm was coming, Weber shuddered and walked cautiously outside the church.

He escaped.

Looking at the pools of blood on the ground, Emiya Kiritsugu indifferently wiped away the blood flowing to his chin, swung the gun upward, closed the chamber, and the Contender once again became an extremely ferocious weapon.

Until now, his spirit is still tight and he does not dare to slack off.

In this battle, it seemed that he had the upper hand and severely injured Kirei. He was only scratched on the face by the strong wind, and the injuries caused to him by the agent were even milder than the backlash of the inherent temporal control.

But in fact this is not the case. Kotomine Kirei can withstand countless gunshots until he loses the ability to fight.

But he, Emiya Kiritsugu, couldn't even take a punch from Kotomine Kirei.

"Click." The two guns made a pleasant sound, and Emiya Kiritsugu moved cautiously towards the corner.

After the heart grenade had a miraculous effect, the balance of victory had tipped to his side. The experienced agent obviously realized this and decisively gave up attacking, but turned his back and began to retreat.

They are not fans of chivalry, nor do they have the bushido spirit admired by Neon people, so Kotomine Kirei did not feel any psychological pressure when using the heavy stance, while Emiya Kiritsugu also did not have any surprises and decisively pulled the trigger.

In front of the fire from the muzzle, the agent wearing a tattered robe was like a big bird with broken wings, falling in the corner of the corridor and disappearing. Then there was a "bang" sound, as if something

The sound of being smashed open.

Is it a hidden mechanism in the church? Or has Kotomine Kirei taken out the trump card to reverse the defeat?

Several guesses flashed through his mind, but he could not confirm them due to insufficient information. Emiya Kiritsugu silently adjusted his breathing, loaded his weapon, and approached the corner with full vigilance. He suddenly rolled closer and prepared his 'Inherent Temporal Control'.

Send.

However, to Emiya Kiritsugu's expectation, there was no trap as he had expected at the corner close to 90 degrees, which was also the corner most suitable for ambush the enemy. Even Kotomine Kirei himself disappeared, only the walls were covered with

Wind leaked from the smashed hole, telling the reason for the loud noise in an aggrieved manner.

Kotomine Kirei ran away, plain and simple.

And sometimes, this kind of behavior can actually hide the suspicion from the killer.

Looking out of the cave entrance, it was a dense bush. Emiya Kiritsugu leaned over to pick up the fragments of his robe, then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Don't chase the enemy if you are poor, not to mention that Kotomine Kirei occupies a favorable location, and the identities of hunter and prey may be switched at any time.

He had no intention of fighting with Kotomine Kirei to the point of losing both sides. Maybe Kotomine Kirei regarded him as an old enemy, but his real enemy was never the priest, but Sakuzuki, who kidnapped Airi and Maiya.

The only thing left is to rescue Rider's master.

With his thoughts turning, Emiya Kiritsugu dragged his tired body and ran through the ruined church again, and then he met the young Master who was walking away holding on to the wall.

"Webber Velvet."

"Ah! You are from Saber's team...the killer who killed Mr. Kenneth!"

"Whatever you think, at least this time, I came to save you at Rider's request. If you don't want to die, just follow me."

————

Survived.

Kotomine Kirei was lying in a miserable condition in the tunnel, with bullet wounds all over his body. His left arm, abdomen, and right thigh were even more seriously injured. The bullets filled with necromancy magic not only destroyed his body, but also damaged his body.

Eroding his physical strength and his soul.

The robes on his body were in tatters, and some of them were embedded in the flesh due to the impact of bullets. When they were ruthlessly pulled out by fingers, the blood from the skin and flesh made Kirei groan, but his brows were full of indifference.

He had experienced this kind of pain countless times when he was straining his muscles and bones.

His pain comes from his heart, from the bitter fruit of failure that he has tasted.

The command spell on his arm had been exhausted, but even so, he still did not cause any harm to the cunning hunter.

——But it doesn’t matter. In this battle, the information exposed by Emiya Kiritsugu was enough for Kotomine Kirei to see the possibility of victory.

As long as he returns to Archer to recover from his injuries, Kotomine Kirei firmly believes that he can win the next battle.

"Da, da, da."

Undisguised footsteps came from afar, echoing in the cramped tomb-like tunnel.

Someone is walking in the tunnel.

But, this is impossible!

Kotomine Kirei was convinced that his hearing was damaged during the battle. At this moment, besides him, someone else came to this secret tunnel.

Is it Emiya Kiritsugu?

No, it's impossible. Judging from his character, he, who is always cautious, would never dare to catch up alone.

Then, besides his father and him, who else would know about this secretly built escape tunnel——

Finally, the shaking torch reflected the appearance of the visitor.

Purple hair, black clothes, an assassin who seems to melt into the shadows.

Staring at this extremely familiar figure, Kotomine Kirei closed his eyes and let out a sigh after being played by fate.

That was the servant he once summoned and abandoned, and now, she returns from the shadows to ring the evening bell for his former master.

The field of vision was pitch black, but the image of a young man with white hair and golden eyes became clearer and clearer.

It begins with hundreds of appearances, ends with hundreds of appearances, but ends with the new moon.

"This is really... unpleasant."

As the cold light of the dagger flashed, Kotomine Kirei fell to the ground, ending his life of pursuing pleasure.

The second overseer of the Holy Church, the second master of Archer, Kotomine Kirei, died.

The murderer, Assassin·Baimao.

"Master, Kotomine Kirei has been cleared and the mission is completed."

"Well done, Bai Mian." A relaxed laugh came from the other end of the causal line, "Then, go invite Rider and Webb, and then come back with them, and return to the place of the final decisive battle——"
Chapter completed!
