Whether it was the magic spear in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand that was shining because of the gun oil, or the shining black key in Kotomine Kirei's hand, it represented that the murderous intent in their hearts was already extremely strong.
The will to fight has reached a point where it no longer needs to be expressed in words. They now exist only to destroy the enemies that stand in their way.
Silver blades flashed in the red flames. With three in his right hand and three in his left hand, Kotomine Kirei held a total of six black keys that turned into sword blades and galloped away.
The crosshairs of the gun in Emiya Kiritsugu's hand were aimed at the figure in front of him that was approaching quickly with a gust of wind.
The final showdown unfolds here silently!
Chapter 298: The final chapter of "Fate Zero" is released! (Seventeen)
Chapter 298
A fierce battle between Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei breaks out in the movie.
Seeing this scene, the audience in the cinema couldn't help but talk.
"Are Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei finally going to fight?!"
"Who do you think will win between the two of them?"
"I think Emiya Kiritsugu has a better chance of winning. After all, compared to Kotomine Kirei, Emiya Kiritsugu has collected almost all the information about the opponent and is very clear about the strength of this agent, while Kotomine Kirei knows almost nothing about Emiya Kiritsugu. He doesn't even know that Emiya Kiritsugu's trump card is the Origin Bullet."
"But, is Emiya Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet really effective against Kotomine Kirei? Isn't this something that can only be used against magi? Kotomine Kirei is the agent of the Holy Church, not a magi, right?"
"This... I remember Kotomine Kirei learned magic from Tōsaka Tokiomi, and he's the Master, so he should know a little bit of magic. And as long as he uses magic, the Origin Bullet will directly penetrate his magic circuits, causing him to suffer the same fate as Kayneth."
"Anyway, you'll know if you just keep watching."
"… "
All of a sudden, under the audience's nervous gaze, the two enemies in the movie took action almost at the same time.
The first to take action was Kotomine Kirei. Without knowing what trump card Kiritsugu Emiya had, he rushed over with six black keys in hand. It was obvious that he must have been confident that he could block Kiritsugu's first attack.
However, this behavior actually played into Kiritsugu Emiya's intentions. His magic ritual origin bullet was designed to kill the opponent with one strike only when the opponent was on guard.
So, Kiritsugu Emiya decisively drew out his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The origin bomb flew from afar.
Facing this attack, Kotomine Kirei did not dodge or evade, but decisively activated his magic.
The next moment, the six black key swords in his hands grew several times larger in one breath, almost like two shields, blocking the bullets shot by Emiya Kiritsugu.
And at the moment the bullet was injected, all the black keys in Kotomine Kirei's hands were shattered.
Seeing this scene, Emiya Kiritsugu sneered. He believed that in front of the Origin Bullet, the opponent's magic circuits would be completely destroyed at that moment.
However, what Emiya Kiritsugu did not expect was that Kotomine Kirei actually rushed towards him unscathed.
"How could it be?!"
Upon discovering that the Origin Bullet was ineffective against this agent, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately used his trump card!
"Inherent time control, double speed!"
In an instant, Kiritsugu barely dodged Kotomine Kirei's attack and prepared to put some distance between them.
But what he absolutely could not imagine was that Kotomine Kirei's fighting ability was so strong that it was almost exaggerated. With just one step, he crossed the distance of more than five steps between the two sides, and with his unique body movements, he slid into the arms of the stunned Kiritsugu like the god of death.
"Bang!"
The Bajiquan hit Kiritsugu Emiya directly with absolutely irresistible destructive power.
Kiritsugu's body was shaken away, flying through the air like a straw, and crashing into one of the surrounding pillars. The blow of the iron fist destroyed Kiritsugu's chest cavity, and smashed his lungs and heart into a ball of minced meat.
Emiya Kiritsugu, defeated.
…
After seeing the scenes in the movie, the audience fell silent. No one expected that Kiritsugu Emiya would be defeated so quickly.
"How could this happen? Shouldn't Emiya Kiritsugu be so weak? How could he be killed instantly by Kotomine Kirei?"
"I don't understand. The bullet that Emiya Kiritsugu fired at the beginning was the Origin Bullet, right? But why did the Origin Bullet clearly hit Kotomine Kirei, but had no effect?"
"Kotomine Kirei is too terrifying. He's not even a magus, but his fighting ability is almost invincible. Could he be able to compete with the Heroic Spirit Servants?"
"This... Is Emiya Kiritsugu dead just like that?"
"… "
Seeing the scenes in the movie, the audience burst into discussions.
Obviously, no one expected such a strange situation to occur at the end of the story. Emiya Kiritsugu was killed instantly by Kotomine Kirei.
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Magic Academy.
The magicians were also confused when they saw the scenes in the movie, but as magicians, they were still able to analyze the situation in the movie.
"The Origin Bullet that Emiya Kiritsugu fired was definitely a genuine Origin Bullet, and the ceremonial robe that Kotomine Kirei opened to block the Origin Bullet was definitely a magecraft he performed. But why would the Origin Bullet, which restrains all magecraft, have no effect?"
"The effect of the origin bullet is to interrupt the magic circuit of the magus and then roughly connect it, causing the magic circuits of the whole body to short-circuit and go out of control. If Emiya Kiritsugu's shot failed to affect Kotomine Kirei's magic circuit, a similar result might have occurred."
"So, the way Kotomine Kirei performs magic seems to be derived from his Command Seals, right? Without the magic power provided by the Command Seals, Kotomine Kirei actually has no way to use much magic power. This means that Emiya Kiritsugu's shot only hit Kotomine Kirei's Command Seals, but did not affect him?"
"This... seems to be correct."
"I never thought that despite all his calculations, Emiya Kiritsugu would still be defeated by Kotomine Kirei in the end."
"… "
All of a sudden, the magicians expressed their feelings. They never thought that the battle would develop in this way.
Just as the magicians were discussing and wondering who would get the Holy Grail next, someone suddenly spoke up:
"Oh, by the way, I remember that Altria's scabbard is still inside Emiya Kiritsugu's body. I remember Irisviel said before that the effect of this scabbard can enhance the holder's recovery ability, and even the biggest injuries can be healed. In this case, maybe..."
"this… "
Hearing these words, many magicians were stunned. At the same time they suddenly thought of a possibility, the picture of the movie also changed dramatically.
…
After killing Emiya Kiritsugu, Kotomine Kirei slowly exhaled. Even in a life-and-death battle, victory was decided in a split second.
This really made people feel empty, as he had been looking forward to this ending like crazy.
As a result, a sense of relaxation reduced Kirei's concentration and made him forget that he might be attacked by surprise.
“Crack!”
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from not far away, and at the same time, the bullet had already arrived in front of him!
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…
Kotomine Kirei tried his best to block it, but his body was still completely pierced by a large number of bullets at this moment!
Chapter 299: The final chapter of "Fate Zero" is released! (XVIII)
Chapter 299
The sudden resurrection of Emiya Kiritsugu caught everyone off guard. It can be said that they did not come to their senses until Kiritsugu stood up from the ground and kept pulling the trigger in his hand.
Before they had time to react, a shocking battle broke out between the two sides.
Although Kotomine Kirei blocked Kiritsugu's attack unexpectedly, he was still seriously injured.
As Kiritsugu Emiya didn't expect that he could still survive, he missed the best opportunity to kill Kotomine Kirei.
Yes, since Kiritsugu had never tested the power of the Holy Sword's scabbard in the past, he did not expect that this Noble Phantasm could completely repair even fatal damage.
In this situation, he thought of a strategy as quickly as possible, pretending that he was dead, and actually prepared to launch a complete surprise attack on Kotomine Kirei.
It was a pity that he failed to seize the opportunity. Although the bullet hit Kirei's forehead, it did not penetrate it, but only broke the skin on his forehead.
Therefore, in the next moment, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately seized this opportunity, switched the submachine gun to full-automatic shooting mode, and blocked Kirei's movements with continuous diversionary shooting. At the same time, seeing Kotomine Kirei staring at the bullets rushing towards him, he chanted the secret spell with extremely high concentration.
"Inherent time control, double speed!"
In an instant, the two figures intertwined.
Emiya Kiritsugu's body gradually broke apart due to the use of inherent time control, and Kotomine Kirei's right arm was completely broken due to excessive use of magic to strengthen his body.
The two men have completely reached their limits in the battle. The monster-level battle has made both sides surpass the limits of human beings, both physically and mentally. They have surpassed the extreme!
And the more extreme battle is yet to come.
After realizing that his physical injuries could be repaired by the scabbard, Emiya Kiritsugu directly increased the destructive power of his self-injury to the maximum!
"Inherent time control, three times the speed!"
Like an afterimage, Kiritsugu appeared in front of Kirei at an extremely fast speed, saber in hand, hoping to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.
But what Kiritsugu didn't expect was that even in such a desperate situation, Kotomine Kirei was still able to block his attacks. Even with his eyes closed, he blocked all his slashes!
A fierce battle broke out!
…
Seeing the battle between Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei on the screen, the audience's emotions were completely ignited.
After all, although the battle between the two sides is not as exciting and visually impressive as the battle between Heroic Servants, it carries an unprecedented sense of tension.
The scene of two humans fighting step by step and their life and death confrontation brings the viewers an excitement beyond imagination!
At this point, the audience no longer cares about the outcome of the battle, they just want to know what the final outcome of the battle will be.
…
As the audience was waiting, the scene of Emiya Kiritsugu fighting Kotomine Kirei suddenly switched to Saber Artoria and Berserker Lancelot.
Of course, before describing the confrontation between the two, the movie first focuses on Lancelot's master, Matou Kariya.
At this moment, Matou Kariya was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and all he could feel was pain.
However, he didn't even know where he was feeling the pain, what kind of pain it was, what was causing him so much pain, and he couldn't even tell the cause and effect.
The only thing he knows is to fight, to win, to get the Holy Grail, and then to save Sakura!
Kariya has endured until today for this purpose, and he has been enduring the pain for a long time.
He felt as if there were other reasons, but it was too painful to recall them. There must be some reason that he couldn't remember them.
For this reason, he could only force himself to give up everything, just for the dark future that could no longer be seen.
“Ahem!”
At the same time, under Lancelot's terrible attack, Artoria was knocked out again and again.
Facing this Servant who was once hailed as the most perfect knight, even if she was the strongest sword Heroic Spirit, she was completely unable to resist and was extremely miserable.
She had once vowed to take the Holy Grail together with Irisviel, and she should have known that she must not fall here, but she could not win. No matter what, she could not defeat that man - Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake.
In despair, Altria was almost beaten to the point of losing feeling in her hands and feet. The double blow to her body and mind made her almost numb.
She even had the idea of giving up, taking the sword from this knight who hated and resented her, and completely atone for her sins.
However, before he could atone for his sin, Lancelot's movements suddenly stopped.
After the Master's magic power was exhausted and the backup magic power given to the Servant by the Holy Grail was also completely used up, Lancelot's actions came to an abrupt halt.
And Altria took the opportunity to kill the opponent with one sword!
"Even so, I still want to get the Holy Grail."
Tears splashed on the trembling silver caged hand, mixing with the blood flowing down the berserker's blade.
"If I don't do this, my friend... I can't atone for my sins..."
…
The audience members froze in shock at the end of berserker Lancelot.
Although we still don’t know the story of Altria’s life, or the entanglement between the two knights’ swords, just seeing Altria’s sad look is enough to prove how much she is struggling and desperate at this moment.
In such a Holy Grail War that has been going on for a long time, the more people who survive to the end have the sadder endings they get, which has made most of the audience unable to help but start complaining.
"Oh my God, I don't dare to think about what the final outcome will be."
