Finally, I finally got it...
Everything, is already in my hands.
Roland held the scabbard in his hand, and was so moved that he almost cried. This was a moment that should have been a time of joy and celebration, but now Roland only felt unexpectedly calm.
It seemed as if nothing in this world could stop him from living a peaceful life.
This is exactly the case.
[Key of All Spirits]
——Holding Contracted Spirits: Kirara Yoshikage (Contracted) Shendu Spirit (Uncontracted)
——Number of Contracted Spirits extracted:1
——Status: Can travel
Everything happened silently, but Roland knew that his most important need since coming to this world had been met.
Now, he can leave this world at any time without having to face the dangers of the Holy Grail War and risk his life. Now his only need for Fuyuki City is to absorb Kira Yoshikage.
The uneasiness hidden in his heart finally subsided, like a beast whose desires were released.
Although he seemed to be very decisive, Roland was clear about his own thoughts. He could not let the Contracted Spirit go, so he had to fight with Emiya Kiritsugu.
But because of this, he had to face a realistic problem.
How to deal with the servant?
After all, before tonight, he didn't even know who the spirit contract was with. He was hijacked while sitting in the store quietly playing with his hands. Everything that happened next was both carefully calculated and improvised.
If he missed the chance to lure Emiya Kiritsugu into a trap before his information was exposed, he would never have it again.
In order to block Kiritsugu Emiya's bottom line, Roland had to pretend to be confident and deal with an experienced killer like Kiritsugu Emiya.
The reason why Roland was able to remain calm was because he had made up his mind in his heart that even if he had to give up the hand with the withering and piercing attack, he had to get the escaped spirit.
Fortunately, perhaps it was his great luck that was really protecting him, and Emiya Kiritsugu agreed to the deal he proposed without giving it much thought.
It was really lucky. If there were a few fights and people started dying, Avalon might be implanted in Irisviel's body, and Saber might reveal the true power of this treasure.
By that time, it would be extremely difficult to get all of this.
At present, Avalon is not something that Kiritsugu Emiya cannot give up. After all, it was Einzbern's money that was spent, and he did not do anything for it.
"I can leave now."
Although he had brushed shoulders with death countless times, this was the first time that Emiya Kiritsugu felt so nervous.
Saber is the strongest class and has excellent magical powers. If you want to force him to commit suicide, you need to cast at least two Command Seals.
If he lost even a stroke here, it would be very disadvantageous to his future strategies. He had already lost Maiya, his right-hand man. If he lost another stroke of the Command Seal, he would probably be in great difficulty in the future.
As if he was interrupted at his happiest moment, Roland glanced at Emiya Kiritsugu with a slightly annoyed smile.
There was a chilling, oppressive look in his eyes that made people's hair stand on end. When Emiya Kiritsugu thought Roland was going to break his promise and turn against him, Roland sheathed his sword and walked past him calmly.
The exploding car also turned into a badge and fell into the back of the hand of that strange guardian spirit.
Roland left like this, and considerately took with him the door that had been hit by Hisau Maiya and was shaking. Even if it was closed, there was still a gap that could not be closed.
Through the gap, Emiya Kiritsugu stood still, watching Roland's figure disappear into the distance.
The other party actually left like that.
While trying to understand what was happening, Emiya Kiritsugu's body took the lead in taking action.
"call..."
He let out a long sigh and his heartbeat gradually slowed down. After the adrenaline faded, the pain in his internal organs and muscles crept back into his body.
"Who on earth is this guy?"
Adjusting his breathing on the spot and trying to recover as much strength as possible, Emiya Kiritsugu sorted out the gains and losses of the night without any hesitation. This was his usual style.
The biggest loss was of course the death of Hisau Maiya, but looking at the overall situation, although Emiya Kiritsugu was unwilling to admit it, it was because of Maiya's death that he escaped this major crisis.
Previously, it was a situation where the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light. The guy named Roland knew everything about my situation and his plans. If Maiya hadn't accidentally involved him, I might have been solved without knowing anything.
He had spent so much effort to escape on the street before. If he was blocked at the sniper point on the high-rise building, even if he called for his servants, he would probably be killed or injured if the building collapsed.
Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration, but then, his eyes were filled with indelible gloom and malice.
Roland did not kill him today and chose to fight to the death, which was the biggest mistake he made.
That guy is not a magician, so naturally he doesn't know the communication channel between the Master and the Church, let alone the rules that hide the mystery.
And, most importantly, he exposed his intelligence.
He has no magic circuits, but he has such a strange guardian spirit. If he were to be exposed, the attention of other magicians would be focused on him.
Emiya Kiritsugu smiled mockingly and then slowly clenched his hands.
Today's fire can also be used. Although the fire was set by ourselves, no one knows about it. It is a bloody fact that the small car drove into the fire and caused several explosions.
The traces left by this supernatural power could not have gone unnoticed by the Holy Church, which was in charge of the aftermath. Later, through clever framing, this lucky guy, who had no idea how dark the adult world was, would know the horror of being wanted by both the Church and the Magic Association.
This was a very despicable act, and Emiya Kiritsugu himself was aware of it, but in order to achieve victory, it was all worth it.
As long as he can obtain the Holy Grail, this will be the last time for all mankind to bleed, choosing the majority and wiping out the minority. Emiya Kiritsugu has been playing such a role on his own, as if he was born for this, and he firmly believes that doing so is absolutely right.
Moreover, if Roland was allowed to continue fighting in Fuyuki City, without the supply of magic power, who knows how many bloody incidents the heroic spirits he contracted would commit.
I am righteous.
If everything goes well, Maiya, I will avenge you.
Emiya Kiritsugu took heavy steps, grasped the door handle, and pushed the door open.
His mind replayed the words of Hisau Maiya before his death.
"The secret of his power is that he can explode anything he touches..."
He had already seen the power of explosions. Whether it was the car or the guardian spirit, when they were fighting against the grenade, the other party threw something like a stone, detonating the grenade in advance.
Was Maiya trying to remind him that the guardian spirit could create explosive items? No, the key should be the so-called touch. Just like the scene where Maiya exploded into pieces in front of him, could the other party's guardian spirit detonate the human body through touch?
As he calmed down and his thoughts diverged, Emiya Kiritsugu's lips began to tremble. This was a manifestation of fear. No matter how desperate the situation was, even if he lost a Command Seal, he still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.
But death is not like that.
Could it be that, could it be that the other party could turn anything he touched into a bomb? Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the door handle he was holding with a terrifying expression as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head.
Impossible, how could there be such a terrifying power in this world?
Just like those magi he had plotted against before, Emiya Kiritsugu personally experienced the great sorrow and despair in those people's hearts at that time.
The thought only lasted for a moment, and the emotions of uneasiness and anxiety mixed together in his chest. His breathing suddenly stopped. Ignoring the injuries on his body, Kiritsugu let the exploding pain boil in his consciousness and activated the inherent time control again, just to let go of the door handle immediately.
At the street corner that he had not noticed, Roland was leaning against the wall, his lips moving silently.
—Killer Queen has already touched that doorknob.
With the help of Killer Queen's eyesight, the moment Kiritsugu Emiya touched him, no matter how he struggled, the ending was already determined.
Before you can even begin to resist, Killer Queen has dispatched you.
In a real battle, if you make a mistake once, it will become your last.
This was a philosophy that Kiritsugu had once memorized, but now, he experienced the truth of this sentence firsthand. From using rhetoric to irritate him, to deliberately killing Maiya before she could finish her words, was it all to lure him into this building? From beginning to end, was the entire process he had calculated, including the ultimate move of using the origin bullet, all a trick played by the other party?
Emiya Kiritsugu's swan song of the inherent time control finally turned into just a roar of anger.
"Roland, you plotted against me!"
With graceful steps, Roland returned to the building where a team was buried. Looking at the intact door handle and the disappeared figure, he smiled as a winner.
There are some things in Kira Yoshikage's philosophy that Roland still agrees with.
For example, he would never create an enemy that would keep him awake at night, and he would never make a mortal enemy with a guy like Emiya Kiritsugu. Roland didn't want to be shot in the head by a sniper rifle one day, and hiding and living like a rat in a gutter was even more impossible.
Getting away from the opponent first was just the first step to make the opponent careless. If the trap did not work, Roland would take advantage of this distance to contract a new spirit on the spot. In short, for the sake of a peaceful life in the future, Emiya Kiritsugu must die.
"Although it's a pity to waste three Command Seals, it doesn't matter." After sorting out the remaining stocks in this base, Roland's eyes lit up when he saw a dozen special bullets in a well-preserved small box. "Besides, isn't this an unexpected gain?"
Looking at these Origin Bullets, Roland felt somewhat grateful to Emiya Kiritsugu. He sent him the Contract Spirit, the gun, and the bullets, which perfectly solved his urgent needs.
"I can have a good sleep tonight."
Humming a pleasant tune, Roland walked back into the deep darkness.
On the eve of the Holy Grail War, Emiya Kiritsugu was unable to rise again.
