The priest wearing a cassock raised four black keys and quickly threw them towards the air in all directions - and sure enough, none of them hit the target.

And then, the bullet burst out and hit him directly in the back.

Those are high-speed bullets that cannot even sense their breath. The barrier set up in the Einzbern Forest can not only show murderous intent to deceive the enemy, but also conceal the true murderous intent.

This third shot was the real killing blow.

Kuu Maiya, who planned this battle, slowly put away his gun.

.

Under the cover of Irisviel's illusion, the Winchester caliber bullet passed through a distance of hundreds of meters from the position that Kirei had already eliminated with the black key, and hit Kotomine Kirei's spine with almost no murderous intent. .

With Vaser's lethality, Maiya was sure that the target's spine had been penetrated.

Kotomine Kirei behaved just as Maiya imagined. He didn't even have time to scream, and fell directly on his back without convulsing or moaning in pain.

He must have been shot through the spine as planned and died on the spot - Maiya judged this, stood up from the sniper position, pointed the submachine gun in his hand at Kirei who was lying on his back, and cautiously approached him.

Miss Maiya, no! Irisviel immediately saw that this was a trap and warned Maiya, but by this time it was too late.

Kirei, who was lying on his back, did not get up. He only waved his arm and shot out a hidden black key. The black key shot from a low orbit cut Maiya's right calf, causing her to miss the opportunity to make the next move.

The next moment, the tall body of the man in black bounced up like a spring mechanism and rushed towards Maiya.

Maiya was not afraid, he raised his gun and shot. But Kirei didn't even hide, he just covered his head and face with his hands. The standing collar robe to the sleeves are all made of fiber, and a layer of protective spell specially made by the church agent is tightly added to the inside of the clothes. If it were a nine-millimeter bullet, it would be impossible to penetrate it even at the shortest distance.

Even so, the kinetic energy of ten consecutive strikes at 250 feet per second continued to hit Kirei's body like the violent blows of a metal bat. But his muscles, which have been trained to the extreme, are like armor, completely protecting his bones and internal organs from impact damage.

After discovering that Kirei was wearing body armor, Maiya immediately dropped the submachine gun in his hand and pulled out a Rambo knife from the side of his thigh.

Contrary to the fiber's resistance to gun bullets, it has the property of being easily cut by sharp blades. If the gun doesn't work, the only way to survive is in close combat.

When the barrage was interrupted, Kirei once again pulled out a new black key in each hand and launched a cross slash at Maiya from the left and right. Maiya was not slowed down by her injured right foot at all, and used the thick blade to deflect the Black Key's combo attacks.

Although the Black Key's knife is far longer than a tactical fixed knife, it is still an enhanced throwing knife. In close combat, compared to the Black Key which lacks balance due to its extreme short handle, Maiya's tactical fixed blade has an overwhelming advantage due to its flexibility.

Have the opportunity!

Confirming his advantage, Maiya rushed forward with a half-sacrifice posture - the black key could hardly defend against an attack from this distance, and even if it was hit by a counterattack, the chance of being seriously injured was very low.

Kirei also caught the dagger in Maiya's right hand with the black key of his right hand. It seemed that he was planning to use the length of the blade to counterattack, and the sword shadow that crossed the dagger suddenly thrust towards him. Maiya, who was well prepared for this, easily dodged the counterattack. He just tilted his head slightly to avoid the tip of the black key's knife, and just broke into the enemy's arms.

But just when Maiya was convinced that victory was close at hand, Kirei made an unexpected move that surprised her.

The right hands of both sides crossed each other like cross counterattacks in boxing - but Kirei's right hand that should be holding the short handle of the black key was empty. Halfway through the thrust, he let go of the weapon in his hand.

In other words, Kirei's right hand attack was not intended to assassinate Maiya with the black key from the beginning.

Strong fingers with strong muscles and bones wrapped around Maiya's right wrist. The slender black-robed body that stood tall and straight bent like a snake, passing under Maiya's right arm. The next second, Kirei put Maiya's right hand behind his shoulder in a gesture similar to that of a wounded person.

In a fatal sense of hopelessness, Maiya realized that she had been deceived by her preconceived notion that the other party was the agent who used the black keys. This action comes from the Chinese boxing technique, Bajiquan!

In the midst of fatal despair, Kirei's side body was closely connected to Maiya's waist, his left elbow struck Maiya's heart, and his left foot also gave a beautiful blow to Maiya's supporting leg.

The most iconic move of Bajiquan is the inner elbow.

Maiya couldn't even hold on to the body and fell heavily to the ground. Because of the strong impact, she even fell into the illusion that her arms and legs fell off completely, and her whole body was paralyzed and unable to move. All he could consciously feel was the severe pain in his chest where he had been hit by an elbow, and at least two of his ribs were broken.

Even though Kuu Maiya was rendered unable to fight with just one blow, Kirei did not stop there.

Kotomine Kirei's goal is only Emiya Kiritsugu, and he has no attachment to Kuu Maiya. Therefore, he clenched his fists and prepared to give the opponent in front of him the final blow.

At this moment, a clear and loud call sounded.

! ” (O Xingke, gain life!)

Chapter 82 The Confrontation between the Agent and the Artificial Man

That was this morning.

Kotomine Kirei... Madam, why are you suddenly talking about him? The young man with golden eyes asked doubtfully as he handed over the snacks he bought on the roadside.

Well, although it's a bit despicable to obtain information like this, after all, you are the only person who has been in contact with Kotomine Kirei, so... Irisviel blushed slightly and took a deep breath and said, I want to know What kind of abilities does that man have that even Kiritsugu is extremely wary of!

Ho~~ Sakuyue narrowed his eyes and pointed out, Isn't it true that you felt jealous because you noticed that the man was getting closer to Emiya Kiritsugu?

That's not true! How is that possible? Irisviel waved her hands and tried to deny it.

Ai Li, forbidden feelings between two men are not allowed. A voice on the side reminded him softly.

How is this possible! The secret in her heart was exposed, Irisviel's face turned red, and she punched the King of Knights who didn't know what was going on.

Hahahaha... I won't tease you anymore. Sakuyue laughed for a while and then returned to the topic, Kotomine Kirei is a very dangerous person. If you don't count me, his strength is incompetent in this Holy Grail War. It is one of the best in China, comparable to Kenneth.

Kenneth...what about Kiritsugu? Who is more powerful, him or Kotomine Kirei? the silver-haired and red-eyed android asked, her puzzled expression was like a child asking if Urutraman could Beat monsters.

In response, Shuo Yue shook her head ruthlessly: Unfortunately, we can't.

No way……

What he said is right, Irisviel. The supporter on the side gave a fair evaluation, In any case, Kiritsugu is a killer, and the advantage is surprise, and since that Kotomine Kirei is called The representative of the church will definitely surpass Emiya Kiritsugu in terms of overall quality.

That's right. Sakutsu nodded, Kotomine Kirei is not a genius. He just put in dozens of times the efforts of others, but because of this, his qualities in all aspects have reached first-class standards.

Far away there is the black key of the church's agent, and recently there is the Chinese martial art Bajiquan. The robe on him is not only bulletproof but also magic-proof, not to mention his will is as strong as a rock. Ordinary illusions are useless. Unless he is like me. Just the same, be absolutely crushing in terms of hard power, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a chance to win.

You can't say that. Kiritsugu taught me more than just driving skills. Irisviel puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

I know, and you Einzbern are best at refining magic, right? The golden-eyed young man exposed Irisviel's trump card in one sentence, But the problem is that as the representative of the church, Yan Have Mine Kirei come into contact with too few magicians?

The magicians who are wanted by the church are those who have gone too far and too far in the path of magic, and have even harmed the world, so they are ordered to be killed by the church. No matter how talented Irisviel is, it is impossible to compete with those magicians. Compared to a wanted criminal who has been immersed in the devil's path for decades.

If you have to encounter Kotomine Kirei and there is no protection around you, Irisviel, you have only one choice. Looking at each other, the young man raised his index finger, Throw out all your magic and limit it. Shugomine Kirei, then...run!

Run as far as you can! Shuo Yue's expression was determined.

Better come to me! said firmly.

The seamless connection between the two made Irisviel dumbfounded, and she spoke after a while.

You guys... have such a good understanding.

Eh? Yes, is there? The hair on my head flickered.

I'll take it as a compliment. The golden-eyed young man smiled slyly and nodded seriously.

The memory ends here, Irisviel stared at Kotomine Kirei with a pair of beautiful red eyes, and the numerous magic circuits in her body worked together to summon a unique skill unique to the Einzbern family.

! ” (O Xingke, gain life!)

Just two measures of chanting complete the magic in one breath. The silver threads go back and forth, drawing arcs and forming complex outlines. They are entangled and intertwined with each other, forming a complex three-dimensional object like weaving rattan. It has majestic wings, a sharp beak, and feet with sharp claws. The refined filigree work replicates a giant eagle.

No, that's not just imitating the appearance——

! The silver eagle made a sharp cry like metal blades rubbing against each other, and Irisviel's arms spread its wings to fly into the air. This is an artificial life form created by alchemy. Irisviel is now facing a critical moment of life and death. , placing his life on this weapon.

The eagle flew as fast as a bullet, far beyond Kirei's imagination. He immediately turned around and barely escaped. The razor-sharp beak just brushes the tip of the nose.

The first attack missed, and the silver alchemy product immediately flew high and hovered over Kirei's head, just like a goshawk hunting on the grassland. It quickly grabbed it with its claws and aimed at Kirei. Li's face.

But the agent did not only defend but not attack. He was not afraid of the sharp hooks and used the Bajiquan technique to strike down the eagle with all his might.

The eagle rushing down quickly could no longer change its trajectory, and its iron fist hit the eagle's belly.

Huh!? But the one who cried out in surprise was Kirei. The moment the fist hit, Fei Ying's body twisted at the same time, returning to an amorphous silver thread that wrapped around his right fist like a vine.

Kotomine Kirei immediately wanted to pull it open with his left hand, but the silver thread rolled around, forcing him to put his left hand in instead. The silver thread that was soaring in the air in the form of an eagle before was now tied tightly like handcuffs. Kirei's hands.

snort.

As a warrior who had experienced fierce life-and-death battles with many mages, Kotomine Kirei just snorted and suddenly rushed towards Irisviel.

It's just that his hands are blocked. There's nothing to be afraid of. Just get close to the woman and give her a kick to end the battle.

You underestimate me! Irisviel shouted, pouring more magic power into the silver thread. A bunch of silver threads untied from the ball of thread and stretched out. This time it flew through the air like a long snake and wrapped around the trunk of a nearby tree.

Even a strong representative must follow the basic rules of mechanics. When Kotomine Kirei lost his balance and staggered, the silver threads became more and more entangled in the tree, dragging him over, and finally pulled his His hands were tied tightly to the tree trunk.

It was a large tree with a trunk more than thirty centimeters thick. For ordinary people, it is as unshakable as a cement pillar, but even so, Irisviel almost succumbed to Kotomine Kirei's wrist strength - she originally planned to use the pressure of the silver thread to twist Kirei's hands. But her muscles, which were as strong as steel, were incredibly strong, and her wires were stretched to the limit, almost to the point where they might break at any time.

In order to prevent the thread from breaking, Irisviel must continue to use all her magic power to strengthen the metal and keep it in a tight state, but this means that not only can she not escape, but she has also lost the strength to move.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

Chapter 83 The protagonist always appears at the end

If Kotomine Kirei continues to be restrained, Irisviel's magic power will be exhausted first and she will lose her ability to fight.

If the reinforced metal wire is removed, the man in the robe will escape and kill her mercilessly.

At the moment, Irisviel seemed to be in a dead end.

But besides her and Kotomine Kirei, who were in a stalemate, there was another person present.

Maiya, miss... move quickly!

The person who holds the chance of victory now is Maiya who is still lying on the ground. Only she can kill the immobile Kirei. There is no need to get close to the opponent's kicking range, just shoot the bullet into the defenseless head. Now Kirei can't protect his head with the sleeves of his body armor like before.

Although it hasn't been long, Maiya has gradually recovered and can feel her hands and feet again. Even though the broken ribs made her groan in pain, she slowly crawled on the ground, gradually getting closer to the submachine gun thrown on the ground.

The key to victory lies in the endurance competition in these few seconds - Irisviel thought to encourage herself while gritting her teeth to endure the pain of the magic circuit.

However, they still misjudged how terrifying the agents of the Holy Church were.

If Irisviel had taken action directly, released the alchemy magic entanglement before Kotomine Kirei realized the illusion, and then used a war of attrition to contain the agent, perhaps he would not have been in such an embarrassing situation.

However, in order to protect Emiya Kiritsugu, coupled with Kuu Maiya's desire to kill Kotomine Kirei, Irisviel made a wrong judgment-not to mention, she was afraid of the horror of Chinese boxing. Nothing.

Can a boxer be paralyzed simply by tying his hands to a tree?

Bang! came the answer with a thunderous noise.

With the intense consumption of magic power, Irisviel was shocked to find that the tree trunk that trapped Kirei was shaking violently, as if someone had punched him with all his strength.

Bang! The second loud noise came out again, and this time through the touch of the magic thread, Irisviel finally understood what happened.

Kirei kept his hands close to the bark of the tree and was hitting the trunk with his palms with all his strength.

Chinese boxing does not only rely on the force of the arms, but also uses the power of the feet on the ground, the rotation of the waist, the twisting of the shoulders, and the joints of the arms and wrists, and gathers all the power to hit the fist. , thus delivering a blow that is unimaginable to ordinary people. And if necessary, it is not impossible to use parts other than the arms to generate strength - this is the so-called inch strength.

If this continues, the trees supporting the silver thread will collapse sooner or later, and Mine Kirei will break free, and those freed hands will surely strangle the enemy without mercy.

But both Irisviel and Kuu Maiya have lost the ability to move and cannot stop the impact of this agent.
