Kenneth sighed contemptuously and walked towards the center of the hall with heavy steps.
Just as Kenneth walked to the center of the hall, the four vases placed at the four corners of the hall suddenly broke with a loud bang.
What flew out in the explosion were not fragments of porcelain, but countless metal beads, which flew towards Kenneth like bullets.
This is not some magic device, but a pure physical weapon.
M18A1 Claymore, Claymore anti-personnel mine, also known as directional mine or broadsword mine, is a directional anti-personnel mine (also known as anti-infantry mine) developed and produced by the US military during the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
The M18A1 has three detonation modes to choose from: control mode (command detonation), uncontrolled mode (victim-initiated mode), and delayed mode. The one set at the castle gate is in uncontrolled mode, using the most primitive but effective tripwire as the trigger device for the mine.
This is a horrific weapon invented to wipe out an infantry group in one blow. When the mine explodes, it will release more than 700 steel balls with a diameter of only one or two millimeters. All the steel balls will be fired in a fan shape in all directions, turning people in the range into sieves.
Of course, this is assuming the target is not a magician.
At the moment when the 2,800 steel balls shot towards Kenneth, the place where he was standing was covered by a layer of silver semicircle. The mercury sphere that was originally under his feet turned into a semicircle in an instant.
Kenneth was surrounded by a watertight mercury film. Although its thickness was less than one millimeter, the tension of the mercury film could reach the same strength as steel plates under the strengthening of magic. None of the bullets emitted by the mines hit Kenneth, but all of them were bounced back to various places in the hall, instantly destroying the facilities in the city.
This is the automatic defense mode of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. This pre-set magic can automatically react when Kenneth is threatened, instantly opening a powerful defense membrane, with such a reaction speed that even bullets can be defended. When the Hyatt Hotel collapsed, it was the defense membrane created by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that protected Kenneth and Sora.
The mercury can be transformed freely as a complete weapon for both offense and defense. It can be used as both Kenneth's sword and his armor.
"snort!"
After removing the defensive membrane and seeing the tragic scene around him, Kenneth made no secret of his disgust for this method and associated it with the attack last night.
It is clear without analysis that among the other six groups of Masters, the only one who wants to eliminate Kayneth first is Saber's Master, the Einzbern family. However, Kayneth does not believe that a magus from the Einzbern family, whose history is even older than that of the Archibald family, would use such a despicable method.
But now he couldn't help but believe it. The demolition master who had used extremely despicable means to destroy Kenneth's workshop last night was now lurking in this city.
"Have you fallen to this level, Einzbern?"
Kenneth sighed, anger boiling over.
Regardless of whether it was Saber's Master who set up this mechanism, he could not forgive the Einzbern family for defiling this sacred ceremony and tarnishing the dignity of the magician.
"Well, then this isn't a duel, it's a crusade."
After regaining his killing intent, Kenneth walked deeper into the enemy camp.
Remember the three-bar spell Kenneth chanted before breaking the door
The first section of automatic defense was already in effect when it was resisting the anti-personnel mine, and the second section also started working when the word "punitive" was uttered.
Countless fine threads suddenly stretched out from the surface of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid in the sphere, like a metal sea urchin spreading out countless flowing soft thorns, which spread outward along the gaps in the castle, just like a spider spreads a large web to catch prey.
Automatic Search - Utilizes mercury's sensitivity to change, capturing air fluctuations and heat changes to find the target's pattern.
There is no air conditioning in the castle. The temperature at night is below zero degrees. The human body temperature is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius. The heat difference is obvious. The breathing and heartbeat required to maintain normal physiological metabolism will cause vibrations in the air. These characteristics will be captured by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and fed back to Kenneth through magic.
"Are you there? Scalp!"
The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid instantly gathered back into a sphere from the net, and then instantly pressed into thin slices, cutting open the ceiling of the first floor of the castle.
Then the Moon Spirit Marrow opened up under the pressure of magic power, and stretched out countless tentacles, like a flat silver jellyfish. The tentacles of the jellyfish grabbed the circular incision, and the body part carried Kenneth's body and rose to the second floor.
The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid cut through the floor of the conference room, and as the automatic search function had indicated, he saw a tall and thin man in a windbreaker—Emiya Kiritsugu.
Kenneth was satisfied with the surprised expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face. He stared at the man in front of him with a playful look and said smugly: "I found you, you stinky rat."
Kiritsugu Emiya had no chivalry to wait for the other party to finish speaking before starting the fight. He simply pulled the bolt of his gun and started shooting.
The machine gun Kiritsugu uses is the Calico M950 submachine gun, which has the advantages of being fully automatic, powerful firepower, large magazine capacity, good accuracy, strong self-defense and assault capabilities, but these advantages cannot break through the automatic defense of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.
Kenneth didn't need to do anything himself, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid formed a protective film in front of him, blocking all the power of the 9mm bullet rain.
"Scalp!"
At the moment when Kiritsugu had finished firing his bullets, Kenneth issued a declaration of death. As he spoke, two mercury whips flew up and attacked the prey in front of him from both sides.
However, as soon as the order was given, Kenneth exclaimed.
"Um?"
At the moment when the two silver whips were about to hit the target, the enemy dodged the attack of the silver whips with an almost unbelievable speed, and quickly jumped to the hole in the floor that had just been cut by the mercury blade under the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid where Kenneth was standing.
The enemy's speed was so fast that even the naked eye could not see his movements clearly. No matter how one thought about it, this was not a physical skill that could be performed by an ordinary person.
Recalling the spell the enemy chanted before moving - "Timealterdoubleaccel (time control twice the speed)!" Combined with Kenneth's extensive knowledge of magic, he saw through the means used by Emiya Kiritsugu.
"You set up a barrier inside your body to control time? It seems that you have some experience in magic. You have been influenced by magic, but you still use such a despicable method. You should die to experience your own ignorance!"
Kenneth's murderous intent grew stronger and stronger. If it was just an ordinary mouse, it would be okay, but he could not tolerate someone insulting a magician.
"ire:sanctio (track and kill)!"
Kenneth flipped up the collar of his coat and jumped down to the next floor. Then, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which had lost its jellyfish shape, slowly fell down.
After receiving the order, Mercury spread out with its thin tentacles and began to search the entire first floor again.
Mercury quickly gave feedback. Kenneth, who was following the tracking route, had a sadistic smile on his face.
"Have you found it? I want to see how far you can escape in this body."
