Chapter 175 Kotomine Kirei, Died in a Hundred Appearances

The person standing in front of Waver at this moment is the assassin, Assassin, who has purple hair and black clothes and seems to be dissolved in the darkness.

But, aren't they dead?

If they are not dead... why did they reappear in front of us now!

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Waver couldn't help shuddering and hugging his wet shoulders.

Or, Assassin's master now plays the role of this job to the greatest extent, until Assassin, who has been hiding in the dark, was exposed to save me.

And before that, how much information did Assassin get from us who were unsuspecting? How many weaknesses did he find?

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

Long-term immersion in water made Waver cold all over, and excessive thinking and worry made his face blue, looking uglier than death.

So, who is Assassin's current master?

Why did he save me?

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

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

"...Is it the end?"

Only when they feel that they have won, will the various monsters lurking in the dark be exposed one after another.

With an ominous premonition of the coming storm, Waver shuddered and walked out of the church with cautious steps.

————

He escaped.

Looking at the pools of blood on the ground, Kiritsugu Emiya wiped the blood that flowed to his chin indifferently, swung the gun upwards, closed the gun chamber, and Contender once again became an extremely hideous weapon.

Until now, his spirit is still tense, and he dare not slack off.

In this contest, it seemed that he had the upper hand and severely injured Kirei, while he was only scratched on the face by the strong wind. The injury caused by the agent was even milder than the backlash of the inherent time control.

But in fact, it was not the case. Kotomine Kirei could withstand countless gunshots until he lost his ability to fight.

But he, Emiya Kiritsugu, could not even take a punch from Kotomine Kirei.

"Kacha." The two guns made a pleasant sound, and Emiya Kiritsugu took cautious steps and slowly moved towards the corner.

After the heart grenade worked wonders, the balance of victory had already tipped towards him. The battle-hardened agent obviously realized this and decisively gave up the rush to attack, but turned his back and began to retreat.

They were not supporters of chivalry, nor did they have the Bushido spirit advocated by the Japanese, so Kotomine Kirei had no psychological pressure when using the heavy stance, and Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised either, and decisively pulled the trigger.

In front of the fire from the muzzle, the agent in the tattered robe fell to the corner of the corridor like a big bird with broken wings, and disappeared. Then there was a "bang", as if something was smashed open.

Was it a hidden mechanism in the church? Or did Kotomine Kirei take out the trump card to reverse the defeat?

Several guesses flashed through his mind, but he could not confirm it because of insufficient information. Emiya Kiritsugu silently adjusted his breathing, loaded his weapons, and approached the corner with full vigilance. He rolled over suddenly, and the "Inherent Time Control" was ready to go.

However, what was beyond Emiya Kiritsugu's expectation was that there was no trap he expected at the corner close to 90 degrees, which was also the most suitable corner for ambushing the enemy. Even Kotomine Kirei himself disappeared. Only the hole in the wall that was smashed open was leaking air, aggrievedly telling the reason for the loud noise.

Kotomine Kirei escaped, and escaped in a simple and unpretentious way.

Sometimes, this behavior can deceive the suspicious killer.

Looking out of the cave, there is a dense bush. Emiya Kiritsugu leaned over to pick up the fragments of the robe, and then turned away without any nostalgia.

Don't chase the desperate enemy, not to mention that Kotomine Kirei occupies the advantage of terrain, and the identities of hunter and prey may be exchanged at any time.

He didn't intend to fight Kotomine Kirei to a draw. Maybe Kotomine Kirei regarded him as his nemesis, but his real enemy has never been this priest, but Sakutsuki who kidnapped Aili and Maiya.

The remaining thing is to rescue Rider's master.

With his thoughts turning, Emiya Kiritsugu dragged his tired body and ran again in the dilapidated church, and then met the young master who was walking against the wall.

"Weber Velvet."

"Ah! You are the assassin who killed Kenneth from the Saber team!"

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

————

Survived.

Kotomine Kirei lay in the tunnel in a mess, his body covered with wounds caused by bullets. His left arm, abdomen, and right thigh were seriously injured. The bullets loaded with necromancy not only destroyed his body, but also eroded his physical strength and his soul.

His robes were tattered, and some of them were embedded in his flesh due to the impact of bullets. When they were pulled out mercilessly by his fingers, the blood brought out by the skin and flesh made Kirei groan, but his eyebrows were full of indifference.

This kind of pain was experienced countless times when he was strengthening his muscles and bones.

His pain came from his heart, from the bitter fruit of failure he had tasted.

The command seals on his arms had been exhausted, but even so, he still did not cause any injury to the cunning hunter.

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

As long as he returns to Archer and recovers from his injuries, Kotomine Kirei is confident that he can win the next battle.

“Da, da, da.”

The undisguised footsteps came from afar, echoing in the narrow tunnel that looked like a tomb.

Someone was walking in the tunnel.

But, this is impossible!

Kotomine Kirei was sure that his hearing was damaged in 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 has always been cautious, would never dare to chase after him 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 seemed to melt into the shadows.

Staring at this extremely familiar figure, Kotomine Kirei closed his eyes and sighed after being played by fate.

That was the Servant he had summoned and abandoned, and now, she returned from the shadows to ring the evening bell for his former Master.

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

It started with Bai Mao, died with Bai Mao, and ended with the new moon.

"This is really... not pleasant."

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

The second supervisor of the Holy Church, the second Master of Archer, Kotomine Kirei, died.

The murderer, Assassin Bai Mao.

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

"Well done, Bai Mao." A relaxed laugh came from the other end of the causal line, "Then, go and invite Rider and Waver, and then come back with them, back to the final battle site-"

"Ryuudou Temple."
