Do you remember Natalia's comments about Kiritsugu Emiya
A natural born killer, a being that can completely separate emotions from body.
No matter how entangled, struggling, or unwilling you are inside, once you hold the gun, you will not hesitate at all.
After saying what he wanted to say, Kiritsugu raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
At the same time, Yahad began to sing: "—Strasse/Gain!"
Although he has been hiding and running all the time, it does not mean that Yahad is a weakling with no fighting ability.
Maybe it was once, but it is definitely not now. The appearance of combat androids shows that Einzbern has begun to pay attention to the combat effectiveness of non-Servants. As the head of the family, Yahad would not be so stupid as to come to Fuyuki to participate in the Holy Grail War without receiving any combat training.
Don't forget, he is a being created by the "Father of Hominids" to carry out his own will. The materials and technologies used are top-notch, and his performance is excellent in all aspects. He is second only to Irisviel and Illya, the replica of Yustisa, the human-shaped Holy Grail.
His previous cowardly behavior was not only because he had learned lessons from many failures and knew that his clan was not good at fighting, but also because he wanted to provide magic power for Hercules.
Hercules of the Berserker class is extremely difficult to control, and the amount of mental energy and magic power consumed is the highest in this Holy Grail War. The fact that he has been able to hold on until now without any obvious signs of rampage is enough to show Yahad's quality.
Now, without the pressure from his servants and with someone trying to kill him, he certainly wouldn't just sit there and wait to die.
The magic power flowing through the body transformed in the direction most suitable for defense, building a shield in front of the body to block the bullets whizzing out from the muzzle of the silenced gun.
After blocking an entire magazine of bullets, the nature of the magic power changed rapidly, transforming into a direction most suitable for tearing flesh and crushing bones, transforming into invisible sharp blades that would destroy Kiritsugu's weapon and even further tear apart his body.
Kiritsugu stood still, changing the magazines skillfully with both hands, completely ignoring Yahad's attack.
Because of another, louder gunshot.
"Bang" - it was the sound of a sniper rifle, coming from the direction that was at the corner of Kiritsugu.
The person who fired the gun was Hisau Maiya, Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant and his half. Wherever Kiritsugu went, she would follow him, like a shadow.
The power of a sniper rifle is much greater than that of a pistol. The bullet shot by Maiya easily broke through the defense wall created by Yahad, and then shattered the palm of his hand that was releasing magic power.
"Gua ...
The old man let out a painful wail, and his already broken body became even worse. The magic power that had turned into a sharp blade also disintegrated just before it touched Kiritsugu's body.
Yahad has too little combat experience. He is okay against ordinary people, but he has no chance of winning against a veteran like Kiritsugu.
At this time, Kiritsugu had already changed the magazine and raised the pistol again.
This time, there will be no obstruction between the muzzle of the gun and the target's head.
At this critical moment of life and death, a long sigh suddenly sounded in the silent forest.
This sigh contained a variety of emotions.
There is nostalgia and sadness.
There are regrets and there is reluctance.
There is guilt, but also regret.
"Please don't shoot, Emiya Kiritsugu."
Dots of spirit particles emerged from the trees and gathered together, forming a pure white figure behind Kiritsugu.
The finger pressing the trigger stopped, and a look of surprise appeared on Kiritsugu's face.
"Lady Yustisa..."
"What?" Yahad's reaction was even more intense than Kiritsugu's.
Who is Yustisa? She is the ancestor of all artificial humans. For the long-cherished wish of her family and the lofty ideal of saving all mankind, she is willing to sacrifice herself as the "Saint of Winter". It is no exaggeration to say that she is the greatest existence in the history of Einzbern.
How did she get here
No, how could she still exist? Hadn't she already sacrificed herself and become the "Great Holy Grail"
Yustisa took two steps forward, took a deep look at the embarrassed Yahad, and continued to say to Kiritsugu: "Can you please not kill him and hand him over to me?"
"Well... well, since that's what you asked."
Kiritsugu hesitated for a moment, then finally put away his gun and nodded.
If it weren't for Yustisa, Irisviel would have died with the birth of the Lesser Holy Grail. Kiritsugu will remember this kindness for the rest of his life.
"Thanks."
Yustisa breathed a sigh of relief, then squatted down in front of Yahad. She first used magic to wrap the wound, clean the wound and stop the bleeding, and then treated the injuries on the legs and shoulders.
As for the hand that Maiya had used a sniper rifle to open, it was already broken, and conventional healing magic was ineffective. Therefore, Yustisa directly cut off the broken hand along the wrist and made a new one to replace it.
Yes, you read it right. It is just like changing the tires on a car. If there is a problem with the tire, you take it off and replace it with a new one.
It may seem like a fantasy, but it is a routine operation of the Einzbern family. Because they are artificial humans with standard parameters, there is no rejection reaction in the human sense, and there are few individual differences. If a part has a problem, they will just replace it and continue to use it. If it can't be used, it will be directly sent to the garbage dump for scrapping. This has been the Einzbern family's practice for two thousand years.
However, Yustisa's method was slightly different. She came in spirit form, without any parts or raw materials, so the novice craftsman did not use alchemy, but magic - soul materialization, extracting spirit particles to materialize the body.
It was precisely because of this operation that Yahad was certain that the woman in front of him was Yustisa - he had seen Yustisa's magic with his own eyes. Since the death of the legendary third magician, only she could reproduce such a miracle.
"Is it really... Lady Yustisa...?"
Yahad muttered in disbelief, and only now did he look like an ordinary old man.
"Yes, long time no see, Yahad. It's been almost two hundred years, you've aged a lot." Yustisa said as she helped Yahad up and patted his shoulder gently, like a sister comforting her younger brother.
"You are still the same, you haven't changed." Yahad lowered his head, his attitude extremely respectful, without any of the arrogance he showed when facing the maid.
"No, I have changed a lot, so much that I find it hard to believe myself." Yustisa raised her head with a smile, and looked in the direction where Yahad came from.
There, a young man in white spiritual clothes, blue hair and blue eyes quickly parted the forest and stopped in front of the few people.
"Hey, what's going on? So many people are here."
PS: This is still an answer to a reader's question. Regarding the addition of magicians, Mushroom's original words are that all the twenty-seven ancestors can fight against servants with average Noble Phantasms and average attributes. For magicians, this is the lower limit, not the upper limit. The ancestors have strengths and weaknesses, and magicians are strong. At least Princess Tsukihime said that if Aozaki Aoko was there, it would be troublesome. The old man of the gem even killed Zhu Yue. Although Mushroom said that this does not mean that the old man of the gem must be stronger than Zhu Yue, he did not say that he must be weaker than Zhu Yue. In the final analysis, magicians are a group of rogues. In terms of being able to hide, the old man of the gem can hide in other worlds, and Aoko can travel through time in seconds and jump into the Mooncell of the future. How to fight? In terms of destruction, Aoko accelerated the destruction of the universe, and the old man of the gem blasted a meteorite the size of the moon. Which heroic spirit can do this? Moreover, the level does not necessarily mean strength. In the final analysis, Aby is not a complete form, and the upper limit of the magician has not been fully revealed. The current speculation is that magic is extremely powerful, but it requires sufficient magic power or cost to perform magic. Due to the limitations of the human body, the power of magic cannot be fully exerted. Therefore, humans have their limits, unless -
