“What is this?” Kotomine Kirei looked at the wooden box on the table.

“This is a personal gift to me. Open it and take a look…”

Kotomine Kirei picked up the wooden box and gently opened it. An exquisite short knife lay in the box.

“This is the Mercury Sword. It’s proof that you’ve completed your apprenticeship course by studying the magic arts of the Tohsaka family.”

Mercury Sword, even among magic gift sets, this weapon can be considered excellent. It can be considered a fine product in terms of both collection value and usage value.

“I am an insignificant disciple, but I have received such a favor. I am grateful to you forever, teacher…” Kotomine Kirei’s face was indifferent, and his eyes were staring blankly at the blade of the mercury sword. Although he expressed his gratitude with words, it was not obvious in his expression.

However, Tōsaka Tokiomi thought he knew Kotomine Kirei very well and knew that Kotomine Kirei was just not good at expressing himself.

“It is I, Kirei, who should be thankful.” A faint smile appeared on Tōsaka Tokiomi’s serious face. “It is precisely because I have entrusted everything to you that… I can finally prepare for the upcoming battle with peace of mind…”

Kotomine Kirei fiddled with the mercury sword in his hand. The cold light flashing from the blade reflected his cold face. At this moment, the man named Kotomine Kirei finally made up his mind…

“It’s already this time without me noticing.” Tōsaka Tokiomi looked down at the watch on his wrist.

eight thirty.

Because we had an early flight scheduled, we didn’t have much time left.

“Although the rules do not allow the Holy Grail War to be held during the day, the rules are no longer able to restrain those ambitious people at this point in the Holy Grail War.” Tōsaka Tokiomi stood up and slowly walked out the door. “Kirei, the King of Heroes and I will see you off and make sure you can leave Fuyuki City safely. Once you leave Fuyuki…”

puff……

drop!

Tōsaka Tokiomi opened his lifeless eyes and looked down at his chest. The sharp sword blade was already stained red, and blood was flowing down his suit. Everything happened so suddenly.

why?

Tōsaka Tokiomi could no longer ask this question. With doubt, surprise, disbelief and anger, he left this world forever. Even though he was dead, his eyes were still wide open with anger, and the look of unwillingness was also permanently frozen…

“Teacher, it’s not you who is sending me off, but I am sending you off…”

Kotomine Kirei, who always looked expressionless to others, laughed for the first time. Although he did not laugh out loud, that kind of laughter from the heart was so joyful…

Gilgamesh felt that the contract between Tōsaka Tokiomi and himself had dissipated, and a delighted smile also appeared on his lips.

Magicians are aliens. It can even be said that many magicians have already departed from the category of human beings. Many magicians also do not consider themselves human beings and even draw a line between themselves and ordinary humans…

Magicians are all a group of mentally ill people; the only difference is the severity of their illness.

Kotomine Kirei, who was taught by a magus, is the epitome of this era… People are born pure and kind, and they will be stained with different colors as they grow up. However, no one can deny that no one is born “evil”…

Kotomine Kirei has lived in a muddle since he was born, like a puppet, and he can’t even feel the meaning of living.

It’s not just Kotomine Kirei, most magi are like this, including…Tōsaka Tokiomi.

When life has no meaning, you have to find the meaning of your own life, so Toosaka Tokiomi’s answer is… the root!

Reaching the root is the ultimate goal of all magicians, and they are willing to give up everything they have for it.

Is Kotomine Kirei really unforgivable?

The so-called crime is nothing but killing his master and his father. As a “villain”, he has not killed any ordinary people except his master and his father. If he is not driven crazy, who would be willing to do this? If he does not kill his master and his father, how can he live a normal life?

The life of a magician’s offspring is defined at birth.

Just like Sakura, Tōsaka Tokiomi could abandon her without any emotion. With the influence of the Tōsaka family, how could they not know about the insect magic of the Matou family?

Even if we don’t know, have you ever doubted it?

I doubted it! Then what?

For a magician, inheritance is the most important thing! No matter what Sakura thinks, no matter how she will be treated, at least she has obtained the magic seal of the Matou family. So, no matter how she is treated…

What about Kotomine Kirei, the “villain”, after he killed his master and father? His personality did not collapse, and he did not commit all kinds of evil! Instead, he became more like a human being than before, living an ordinary life and raising Rin Toosaka meticulously. Thinking from another perspective, if Rin Toosaka was raised by the pure magus Tokiomi Toosaka, would she be a normal person in the end?

The scarlet light slowly faded, and the cursed contract connected Gilgamesh and Kotomine Kirei.

After replenishing his magic power, Gilgamesh raised his lips slightly, “So… Kirei, what are you going to do next?”

Kotomine Kirei slowly retracted the smile on his face and returned to his expressionless and rigid look. “To be honest, I don’t have any plans.”

“Oh, are you satisfied with just this little pleasure?” Gilgamesh opened the window, and fresh air poured into the house through the window. “Don’t you want to pursue more pleasure?”

“What do you mean?” Kotomine Kirei frowned.

“Oh? Are you playing dumb?” Gilgamesh smacked his lips in disdain. “The next target is of course that priest. No matter what, you have to survive the Holy Grail War. After seeing the power of that guy, you don’t really think that the magic power you provide will allow me to fight against him without losing, right?”

Kotomine Kirei naturally knew who that guy was. Although Assassian was not very strong in combat, he was definitely a master at gathering intelligence! The guy who called himself the Demon King of the Other World was indeed a strong enemy…

Chapter 237 Berserker Team VS Archer Team!

Why was Kotomine Kirei able to kill Tōsaka Tokiomi?

The first thing that can be confirmed is that it is definitely not because Kotomine Kirei is stronger than Tōsaka Tokiomi!

As the manager of the venation system of Fuyuki City, although Tōsaka Tokiomi is not as strong as Kenneth, he is definitely not a weakling. If he were to fight Kotomine Kirei head-on, the outcome would be an unknown!

As the head of the Tohsaka family who has been passed down for generations, Tohsaka Tokiomi has a foundation beyond imagination, and may even be no less than that of Kayneth! It’s just that he trusted Kotomine Kirei too much, and also trusted Gilgamesh too much…

Being stabbed to death by his own honest disciple in front of his servants in his own magic workshop, let alone Tōsaka Tokiomi, anyone would be caught off guard and stabbed to death by the sword!

Although Kotomine Kirei’s combat ability may be comparable to Toshiomi Tōsaka’s, it does not mean that Kotomine Kirei’s magician talent can match Toshiomi Tōsaka’s! In the final analysis, the most fundamental thing for a magician is the magic circuit. In this regard, Kotomine Kirei is not as good as Toshiomi Tōsaka!

Gilgamesh is well aware of this. When his Master was replaced by Kotomine Kirei, Gilgamesh’s physical attributes dropped by at least one level. Even because of the restriction of magic power, he had to be careful in releasing his Noble Phantasm!

Don’t underestimate the so-called EA. The Star of Creation is very powerful, but the magic power required to release the Noble Phantasm is not small! If it weren’t for the Command Spell, I’m afraid that releasing a high-level Noble Phantasm would drain all the magic power and vitality of the magician!

Kotomine Kirei stared at Gilgamesh coldly, “As we agreed before, I will not and do not have the ability to help you win the Holy Grail War…”

Gilgamesh slowly walked to the place where Tōsaka Tokiomi had been sitting before, crossed his legs, and said calmly, “Kirei, you have to know that after the failure of the Holy Grail War, my fate may be to return to the Throne of Heroes, but you… no matter who you fall into, you will not have a good ending…”

Kotomine Kirei thought of the man who looked very much like him, and suddenly felt that his future life had a goal and pursuit. A feeling of joy rose from his heart. He wanted to see what the final fate of the man named Emiya Kiritsugu was. No matter what the fate was, it would always make people feel happy, right?

The most important thing is that once you are in this chess game, it is impossible to get out of it unscathed.

“That priest should have quite a few Command Seals.” Gilgamesh smiled slightly. The priest was a hurdle that Kotomine Kirei could not get around!

“Then let’s go now.” In addition to pursuing pleasure, Kotomine Kirei is an absolutely rational person! He knows without thinking that his master must have been in contact with his father. If the time interval between the contacts is too long, the master’s death cannot be concealed, and he may even be suspected.

Now that the decision has been made, the best way is to set off immediately and resolve all future problems!

“Let’s go.” Kotomine Kirei turned expressionlessly and walked out the door.

“Haha, Kirei, you are really an interesting person…” A happy smile appeared on Gilgamesh’s face. Compared to Tōsaka Tokiomi whose head was full of little thoughts, Kotomine Kirei was simply amazing!

bang bang bang…

Kotomine Kirei, who had just walked to the door, froze, his eyes fixed on the magnificent door!

knocking!

Who is it? Who would come to visit the Tohsaka family by such a coincidence?

bang bang bang…

敲门声再一次响起。

Gilgamesh frowned slightly, and then said nonchalantly, “Hey, Kirei, open the door. In this situation, the most troublesome thing is that the priest has arrived. But… even if the priest comes, it will be convenient for us…”

Kotomine Kirei nodded. Indeed, with the power of Gilgamesh, no matter who came, it would not be a problem!

squeak……

The door of the Tōsaka residence opened, and a small figure appeared in Kotomine Kirei’s eyes along with the rising sun…

Kotomine Kirei’s pupils suddenly contracted, how could it be her!!!

Tousaka Sakura! Or rather Matou Sakura!

Kotomine Kirei had a little sympathy for Matou Sakura and had no intention of killing her. But… now it was different. Whether it was to prevent possible revenge or to conceal the fact that he had killed his master and father, Matou Sakura must die!

Kotomine Kirei is not a bad person, but he is definitely not a good person!

“Oh, isn’t this Kirei? I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you so much.” Sakura gently pulled the hem of her skirt and bowed to Kotomine Kirei. Then her bright eyes swept towards the Tohsaka residence. “The Tohsaka family is still the same. Seeing this familiar environment, Sakura actually misses it a little…”

Kotomine Kirei had no expression on his face, but his muscles were still tense, ready to attack at any time! However, his instincts from many life-and-death battles kept warning him that Matou Sakura was definitely not as simple as she seemed!

“Today, Sakura Matou came to visit the Tohsaka family on behalf of the Matou family. I wonder why the head of the Tohsaka family didn’t come out to greet the guests?” Sakura smiled and looked at Kotomine Kirei with pure eyes.

Kotomine Kirei did not relax at all. In his perception, the oppression of Sakura was constantly increasing. If she only brought a slight sense of threat at the beginning, now she was like a ferocious beast that could devour him at any time!

Is the Matou family’s magic seal so powerful? No! Impossible!

Even if the magic of the Matou family is insect magic, even if Matou Zouken came in person, it would not bring such a strong sense of oppression! How could this child change so much in just a few years!

A hint of darkness flashed across Sakura’s pure and lively eyes. The corners of her mouth slowly calmed down, and her voice was cold and indifferent, “I see, so that’s how it is. Tohsaka Tokiomi is dead. What a pity. Originally, Sakura wanted to personally send him to rest in peace. Tohsaka Tokiomi should be very happy if she personally sent him to the root.”

The solemn expression on Kotomine Kirei’s face became more and more intense, “Archer, help!”

Swish!

A golden sword blade shot towards Sakura, but Sakura didn’t dodge or evade as if she didn’t see it.

Bang! ! !

When the sword Noble Phantasm was about to hit Sakura, a pitch-black long sword knocked the Noble Phantasm away, and Lancelot, with blue flames wrapped around his body, stood guard on both sides of Sakura.

“Berserker…” Kotomine Kirei murmured softly.

Gilgamesh walked out of the house, wearing golden armor and exuding the majesty of a king. “It’s you again, wild dog… This time, I will definitely kill you!”

Sakura smiled sweetly, “Berserker, stop that Gilgamesh. It will only take ten minutes…”

Gilgamesh’s face darkened instantly. “Miscellaneous cultivator, I have to say, you really pissed me off…”

Swish! ! !

The golden treasury of the king instantly filled the entire room, with all kinds of treasures such as swords, spears and halberds swirling in the vortex.

A black aura rose from the soles of his feet and slowly floated around Sakura, “Come, come and play with Sakura…”

Chapter 238 Weird Black Qi

Boom boom boom! ! !

Golden swords flew out from the King’s Treasury one after another. Berserker Lancelot, whose body was burning with black flames, dodged the rain of attacks with ease, and occasionally even grabbed one or two treasures and smashed them at Gilgamesh!

That ultimate martial arts skill is totally unlike that of the irrational Berserker. Even Saber cannot possess such an ultimate martial arts skill…

“Tsk!” Gilgamesh’s face looked a little ugly. In the first battle with Lancelot, Gilgamesh could only be regarded as a tentative attack at most. Now, the King’s Treasure has opened fire at full power, but he didn’t expect that it still couldn’t do anything to him!

“Miscellaneous cultivator, is this the courage you need to challenge me? Is it the strengthening of the Command Spell?” As a top-notch Heroic Spirit, Gilgamesh could naturally feel that Lancelot’s current condition had greatly improved compared to when they first met. Although he was not defeated, it was definitely not something he could resolve in a short time!

Gilgamesh glanced at the smiling Matou Sakura from the corner of his eyes. Although he didn’t know what was wrong with Matou Sakura, it was definitely not normal! However, he definitely couldn’t support Kirei, and now he could only rely on himself!

Swish!

A golden sword flew past Gilgamesh’s face, and a thin trail of blood slowly seeped out.

Gilgamesh’s face was gloomy, “Zaxiu, go to hell!!!”

The projection speed of the King’s Treasure instantly doubled! Lancelot, who was originally at ease, also became a little stretched.

However, even so, the war between heroes will not end so quickly! Lancelot successfully stalemates with the hero king Gilgamesh.

On the other side, a dagger instantly slipped out from the cuff of Kotomine Kirei’s black suit. Only when holding the dagger did Kotomine Kirei feel a slight sense of security.

Although he didn’t know why Sakura Matou brought him such a great sense of oppression, one thing was beyond doubt, as long as he didn’t collapse, the King of Heroes would definitely bring him victory!

“Oh, Uncle Kirei, do you choose to defend?” Sakura smiled slightly, “Then, Sakura will choose to attack.”

The sweet smile on Sakura’s face disappeared in an instant, as if she had changed her expression, and she became as cold as an iceberg.

A thick black gas surrounded Sakura. Sakura waved her hand indifferently, and the black gas turned into a streak and shot towards Kotomine Kirei’s heart!

Kotomine Kirei subconsciously dodged Sakura’s attack by leaning to the side. He tilted his head and saw the corroded black hole on the floor. His brows furrowed. What on earth is this ability? The Tōsaka family can only do fire magic and gem magic at most, and the Matou family can only do water magic and insect magic at most. What on earth is this dark-like method?

“Ah, did you dodge it?” Sakura smiled softly and covered her lips, “Uncle Kirei is great.”

shhhhhh…

Three streaks of light shot towards Kotomine Kirei from three different directions. The difference from the previous ones was that these three streaks of light were like long whips. Kotomine Kirei estimated that Sakura should be able to control the direction of the attack to a certain extent!

Kotomine Kirei threw a “black key” towards the black gas. After the “black key” touched the black gas, it became no different from the ground and was directly corroded and disappeared. The black gas was like an eraser, erasing all matter in the world…

Hide! You can only hide! Kotomine Kirei doesn’t think that his body, which has been trained for many years, will be harder than the “Black Keys”!

laugh……
