Stray Chapter 43: The Magician Killer and the Inexperienced Magician
Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisaru Maiya looked at each other again, then sighed helplessly, picked up two suitcases, and quickly opened them on the table.
There are firearms with a ferocious and cold metal texture, and rows of yellow bullets...
Emiya Kiritsugu skillfully took out the firearm and introduced it in a low voice: "This is my biggest trump card, the concept dress "Original Bullet" I made before, my only trump card..."
Kenneth looked noncommittally, and nodded lightly, with obvious contempt in his eyes.
Because he, like most magicians, knows these things but doesn't have too many concepts. After all, he doesn't usually come into contact with these things, and he doesn't need to deal with them cordially. Naturally, he doesn't know these things very well. The specific lethality of cutting-edge weapons with the highest performance.
He just took a cursory glance and saw that they didn't have any magic power.
So I made an evaluation subconsciously, I felt that there was no threat, and I despised it. In addition, he himself let Emiya Kiritsugu show and explain, so at this moment, even his vigilance dropped to a minimum.
This also determines his future fate
The greatest weakness of a magician is the carelessness that comes with arrogance. When they are faced with battle, they will only pay attention to all kinds of magic, despise pure physical attacks that do not rely on magic, treat them as secondary threats, and are more likely to reveal flaws in the face of non-magical attacks.
"What is the function of the Origin Bullet? Listening to this name, it has something to do with your origin..." Kenneth asked with the intention of understanding so that he could better formulate tactics.
The reason why he still cooperates with Emiya Kiritsugu is because the other party does have value to use, not only to control Saber as a relationship bond, but also to solve the problem of that **** heretical magician.
Although he is reluctant to admit it, the magician is really too dangerous, and Kenneth himself has no certainty.
However, that is the enemy that must be solved, and it is the most critical point. As long as the opponent is killed, basically the current bad situation will be solved. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the magician is the key person who caused the current situation. .
So he put his idea on Emiya Kiritsugu. This notorious magician killer must have one or two trump cards, right?
Maybe you can think about it, find a way to create opportunities for the opponent, and then fight to kill the **** magician who disrupted all his plans...
Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't seem to want to reveal his trump card, but the situation is stronger than others: "My origin bullet... It was indeed made by me using my own origin attribute and soul engineering, as long as... "
Ring bell bell! !
Kenneth was listening to the instructions, but at this moment, a high-pitched fire bell suddenly rang, interrupting his thinking.
Huh? what happened?
He was stunned for a moment, and then after a while he heard the phone ring in the house. He glanced at the silent Emiya Kiritsugu, walked over with a frown, and found that the caller ID was called from the front desk.
Kenneth calmly picked up the microphone, and the service staff at the front desk apologized, saying that for some unknown reason, there seemed to be a small fire just now. According to the scene, it was suspected that someone deliberately pranked and triggered the fire Bell...
As for the latter words, I apologize for disturbing the guests in the middle of the night. There is no need to listen to such words.
Arson?
Or this time?
Kenneth's heart suddenly felt a "crack", and his eyes returned to the sharpness that is unique to magicians. He turned around almost like lightning, but what he saw was that black hole exuding chills The muzzle of the gun was pointed at himself.
Bang!
The gun roared instantly!
Stupid!
This word also appeared in Kenneth's mind almost instantly, and the corners of his tightly closed mouth were distorted with sneer and anger, because in front of him, there was a mass of mercury-like fluid jumping up , expand!
As a powerful magician, Kenneth is not stupid enough to just turn around to confirm the situation, but activate his magic attire at the same time.
It is the supreme attire of El-Mero, the moon spirit liquid, Kenneth's strongest trump card. It uses magic mercury to defend, attack, and search for enemies. Its high function can be called a universal weapon.
The principle is to let the mana-filled Mercury memorize various action patterns and set it to respond most appropriately to each situation. It can be regarded as a combat golem.
Because of Emiya Kiritsugu's introduction just now, he would rather believe what he has than not believe what he does not have, so the form of mercury defense launched at this moment is not a conventional membranous form
Instead, it unfolds like a mountain of swords, with countless thorns from the floor to the ceiling.
Like a dense bamboo forest, it not only covered Kenneth's body, but also completely blocked the flying bullets.
Although the magic power required to make the mercury block unfold like a sword mountain is not comparable to a simple membranous form, it was completed by mobilizing almost all the magic power possessed by Kenneth. The Archibald carved on his shoulders The Toku Family Magic Mark has cycled to its limit, causing severe pain to his body.
But there is a reward for what you pay for. The sword-shaped mercury defense is of course stronger and stronger than the membranous defense. It is a real iron wall.
In other words, strategically despising the enemy, tactically attaching importance to the enemy, Kenneth has done his best at this moment in order to defend against Emiya Kiritsugu's origin bullet. The moon spirit marrow fluid, which is designed to transform itself, shows its talents, and the technique of manipulating the magic with the dense and perfect fluid should be the ultimate stunt that does not disgrace the name of the famous Archipelude family.
The monarch of the Clock Tower sneered, and even began to have time to think about how to torture these two people who don't know how to live or die, so that they regret and suffer, and die in despair, and curse themselves in pain when they die the stupidity of...
However, this is what Emiya Kiritsugu wanted. The timing of his attack just now was very good, and he could shoot before the unsuspecting Kenneth noticed the problem.
But waited until the moment when the opponent was alert and turned around before pulling the trigger, in order to allow Kenneth to use defense magic to the maximum extent to resist the lethality of the original bomb, which depends on the moment it hit the target and how much the target was activated. Magic circuit, because it is its own magic power that destroys the body of the shot.
If Kenneth didn't notice the problem, didn't use magic at all and didn't activate the magic circuit, then the injury would be the lightest and lightest, probably just the necrosis of the bullet.
And like now, when all the magic circuits are activated in an instant, and all the magic power is used as much as possible, how terrifying damage will Kenneth suffer from the Origin Bullet?
As a result, the fate of the inexperienced magician came to an end after he exhausted his efforts to complete a beautiful extreme stunt.
Probably didn't understand what happened to his body at the end, because at the moment when the severe pain spread throughout his body, Kenneth's heart, lungs and nerve nets were already torn in a mess.
Before he screamed, blood spurted out of his throat, because the wrong action of fragmented nerves caused his muscles to twitch, and his slender body in a free and easy suit performed a funny dance on the spot.
The moment the magic bullet was blocked by the Moon Spirit Essence, the effects of the "origin" in the bullet had already seriously fed back to Kenneth's magic circuit. The result is that in Kenneth's magic circuit, which is going all out, the high-density magic power that is rapidly circulating suddenly starts to run wild, ignoring the circuit...
The monarch of the Clock Tower was lying down in the sea of mercury that was all over the floor, his body was twitching slightly.
Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, became the name of the thirty-eighth completely destroyed magician under the Magician Killer.
"Phew, the first step was successful, but the second and third steps are the most critical..."
Emiya Kiritsugu let out a sigh of relief, put down the firearm, and walked quickly to the side to check Kenneth's condition. He didn't feel any emotion, nor did he sweat or breathe a sigh of relief at such a result. a feeling of.
Because this is a natural result, this time is the same as before, with a successful guide and a calculated conclusion.
That's all.
The provocation target personally confirms that the two parties have dissolved their previous allies, so before the new magic contract is signed, the two parties can harm each other without restrictions...
Through a series of performances, from the whimsical at the beginning to the swallowing at the back, the vigilance of the target is gradually lowered, and then the target is properly guided to ask him to show his means in person, so the weapon can be directly taken out without suspicion ...
There is also the use of some means prepared in advance to attract the attention of the other party at a critical moment, coupled with some incomplete information given in advance, to mislead them to make the most wrong behavior at the critical moment, such as Said to use maximum defense magic...
In this way, the result is almost logical at the moment. Although this series of plans requires the two of Emiya Kiritsugu to take risks, the success rate is more than half.
After all, about the man in front of him who has lost everything, the two have conducted targeted investigations before and obtained very detailed information
Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, Minister of Mineral Science, First Class Lecturer of the Seances, and the ninth head of the Archibald family.
Belongs to the kind of typical magician, but his character is more arrogant and conceited, because he showed talent enough to be called a prodigy when he was a student, and is the youngest in the history of seances to be a lecturer position people.
Kenneth has never been able to solve any problem better than him since he was a teenager, and his efforts have not gone beyond the normal sense of purpose, but simply thought that his research results would be somewhere at some point Just better than others.
People regard him as a "genius", no one has ever doubted this title, and there is no threat to him, so he enjoys the title of "genius" as a matter of course.
He later worked at the Clock Tower. Among the numerous and outstanding research results, he was also at the top of the list, which fully proved that he was not the kind of short-lived prodigy, and his abilities were not only limited. in adolescence.
That's it, Kenneth has always been envious and envious of others, but has no sense of satisfaction and achievement, because it is only the "inevitable result of life" for him. It was like this in the past, and it must be like this in the future Yes, it is a sacred and inviolable absolute truth.
Such a person is easy to be provoked, because the first half of his life has been smooth sailing and he has never suffered any setbacks, so his ability to withstand major setbacks is directly equal to zero
Because the past is in his world, he seems to be the master of everything. Talented and intelligent, the son of a famous family, not only inherited the engraving of the magic achievements passed down from generation to generation, but also has a rare talent commensurate with it. He has never hit a wall or been troubled.
Once any "accident" occurs, to Kenneth, it is chaos that cannot be tolerated, an insult and blasphemy to the order of God.
So after waking up, Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisaru Maiya immediately made such a plan for a dangerous military attack, because there is no more suitable time to do it.
Kenneth's hatred for laner, and his anger at what happened tonight, have affected this genius who has no ability to withstand pressure, causing him to be confused and make wrong judgments.
laner was ordered to leave the building to be on guard, and Kenneth himself looked down on the two ex-allies who had just woken up and were extremely weak, with a very low defense... Opportunity now.
"Maiya, go and control that woman, and according to the previous plan, ask her to come and treat this poor magician and hang his life..."
Feeling that a huge magical force was approaching rapidly, Emiya Kiritsugu had already given an order as expected.
Through the connection of the Heroic Spirit Contract, whether it is the Master or the Servant, it is very easy to feel the state of the other party. The sudden death of Kenneth cannot be concealed from Laner.
So the second and third steps are the hardest, and killing Kenneth is nothing compared to that.
Kyuu Maiya didn't waste time and rushed out of the door quickly. Emiya Kiritsugu stood there and waited. He was sure to let Laner throw a rat. Died for lack of treatment...
He didn't want to take this opportunity to rule out the laner group, but wanted to take this opportunity to control a Servant again and regain his eligibility to participate in the Holy Grail War, so that he could restore everything that was lost.
