The Endless Shuttle

"Is it."

Tohsaka Tokiomi stood up and looked at the starry sky outside the window. "It's a pity. If it succeeds, it will undoubtedly bring considerable convenience."

He laughed. "However, it's not useless. At least we know Rider's hole cards and some information about other heroic spirits. As far as the value of Assassin is concerned, it is enough."

Tokiomi's tolerant and tolerant attitude made Kirei's head bow even deeper.

"It's a shame that I couldn't remove an obstacle for you, the instructor, at the last moment."

Kirei raised his head, saw Tokiomi's eyes full of sincerity and enthusiasm, and said to himself.

"It is true that we met together because of the Holy Grail War, but no matter what, I am very proud to have a disciple like you."

Tokiomi then took a black slender wooden box placed next to the letter and handed it to Kirei.

"Open it and have a look, this is my personal gift to you."

Kirei opened the box, and inside the velvet-decorated interior was a neatly placed short sword.

"This is?"

"The sword of Azoth. It is made of ancestral gemstones. It can be used as a gift after being filled with magic power... I think you have been studying under my school for so long, and all your achievements except talent are far beyond mine. It is expected that this will be used as proof of your training in the Tohsaka family’s magic way and graduation from your apprenticeship.”

"..."

Kirei took the dagger in his hand and looked at it carefully. His eyes fell on the sharp blade of the dagger for a long time without moving away.

What is this feeling... joy?

Facing his mentor who treats him like this, do he want to kill him himself?

'Kotomine Kirei' is really a beast... Kirei squinted his eyes, sincerely spurning himself, but was also very excited by the upcoming tragedy.

"My mentor...!?" Just as he was about to say something, the fluctuations from the magic barrier stopped him.

"Um?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi walked quickly to another window and lifted the curtain that blocked it.

Outside the window, gigantic spiders were destroying the enchantment of the courtyard. No matter whether it was big or small, flame or frost, the magic traps had no effect on them, as if they had been absorbed.

"Enemy attack?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi thought very calmly, turned around and came to his desk, with his back to Kotomine Kirei, and took out his staff-shaped magic dress from the drawer.

"Kirei, it has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, just wait here. This kind of evil magic, the opponent should be Lancer's Master, so I should fight it."

"No, mentor..."

Kotomine Kirei quietly came behind Tohsaka Toki.

"It's better to let the disciples go to fight, and you can rest here."

What was faster than words was Kotomine Kirei's dagger.

"……ah?"

The sword of Azoth, which was a proof of friendship and trust, passed through the gap between the ribs and directly pierced Tokiomi's heart. As a seasoned agent, the blow was spot on. There was no killing intent at all, and there was no warning at all, maybe even Tokiomi who was stabbed couldn't understand the meaning of the pain in his chest for a moment.

"Kirei..."

Tohsaka Tokiomi struggled, wanting to lift the dress in his hand, but he no longer had the strength to do this with his heart pierced through.

After a while, Tohsaka Tokiomi's life was coming to an end. Sadly, this proud magician was not killed by the enemy Master in the end, but buried by his most trusted disciple.

"Please rest here."

For the crime of killing his master last night, Kotomine Kirei showed a heartfelt smile, crossed himself like a priest, and prayed for his master.

The golden radiance gathered in the room, and Gilgamesh took all this 'beautiful scenery' into his eyes.

"Good job, Kirei, do you feel that joy now?"

"ah……"

Kirei agreed with Gilgamesh's words, and nodded with a smile.

Sadness and joy are constantly surging in my heart, which is a novel feeling that I have never had before.

"Then re-conclude the contract, as the king's attendant."

Gilgamesh stepped forward, looking somewhere outside the house. "The other party is already provoking this king recklessly, so what if we don't punish him?"

"as you wish."

Chapter 72 Mystic vs Proctor (Part 1)

When the cold spiders destroyed the outer barrier, Luo Pei had already quietly touched the back of the Tohsaka house.

"How about it, Kariya, did you see any shadows of people?"

Pressing the communication magic in his ear, Luo Pei asked in a low voice. "If Archer doesn't accept Saber's provocation, if we are inside the house, we will retreat immediately."

‘No, my engraving worms seem to have been completely wiped out. '

Kariya's voice was panting, as if the death of the bug had also burdened his body.

'It was a man holding a black key, who cut off all the bugs very quickly. '

"Kotomine Kirei...you don't want to go out if he's here."

Rope glanced at the windows on the second floor. "As long as your current body sees the opponent, it will definitely be cut off at the waist, and there is no chance to release magic."

'who is he? ’ Kariya asked curiously.

"The fighting priest of the Eighth Secret Church of the Holy Church specializes in hunting magicians. He not only knows the black key to seal demons, but also Bajiquan. In my country, there is an old saying that 'Wen has Taiji to calm the world, Wu has eight poles to determine the universe', so being close to him is not a joke...I need to make some preparations."

Closing his eyes, he covered the wall with his palms, and the green magic lines stretched out like snakes, and finally turned into a transparent color.

Against guys with strong melee capabilities, the humble man's prison of despair has always been a very good weapon.

"I wanted to save some magic power, but just to be on the safe side, I don't want to be dominated by Father Mapo, so I can't care too much." Luo Pei continued to expand his perception, and included the entire Yuansaka house into his enchantment within range.

Life perception... one person? !

What's going on, is Kotomine Kirei the only one in the room? Where did the hour go? Rope thought suspiciously.

"Kariya, the situation has changed. Spread your winged blade worms out, and pay attention to the situation within a kilometer around the house, and don't miss any detail."
