"Can't distinguish priorities at all... Is this really the First Knight of the Fianna of Ireland? According to a normal person's judgment, covering your lord's retreat at a time like this should be the correct choice, right?" In the ruins, the "Lemon Head" Kayneth sat in a wheelchair, secretly observing Diarmuid's battle while complaining.
"Is it really just the bravery of a brute? Or is this guy doing it on purpose?" If he hadn't kept a trump card, "Director Lemon" Kayneth's face would probably be very ugly right now.
Have these Servants all gone stupid? Focusing on duels and forgetting the ultimate goal? This is the Holy Grail War, a war. How can they engage in such child's play duels? Completely disregarding their Master's life or death is really a headache.
Pa, a soft impact. A silenced bullet hit the ground in front of Kayneth, drawing his attention.
"Kiritsugu Emiya..." Kayneth looked with a complex expression at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was aiming a pistol at him.
If not for this man, perhaps the Magic Crests in his body wouldn't have been completely paralyzed. But also because of this man, he gained power stronger than before.
A power he had never experienced before.
However, one thing was certain: his heart very much wanted to kill this man with his own hands.
Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Kayneth coldly, ignoring the other's inner thoughts. Instead, he pulled a red figure from behind the pillar he was using for cover and aimed the pistol, originally pointed at Kayneth, at the figure.
"Sola..." Kayneth's pupils contracted slightly. He didn't know how to evaluate this woman he was once madly obsessed with.
If it were the old him, he would probably be incredibly nervous right now, right? Threatening him with her would really make him lose his composure and mess up his own footing.
Is this your goal? Kiritsugu Emiya... A judgment made after completely analyzing my personal character, right? Specifically going to find this woman...
Hmph, unfortunately, I only have deep disgust left for this woman now.
No matter how much I loved her before, the current me can't wait to kill her with my own hands, can I?
Because I loved, I hated.
The deeper the love, the more painful the hate.
"Shh." Kiritsugu Emiya put his index finger to his lips, signaling Kayneth not to shout.
Then he threw a parchment scroll and a severed arm towards the other party.
A severed arm with two bright red Command Spells on the back of the hand... Sola's severed arm.
"Geas Scroll (Self-Compulsion Certificate)? Sacrifice LANCER and save mine and Sola's lives? Hehe... quite a despicable method, but indeed very effective. However, even if I sign this contract, given Kiritsugu Emiya's character, I'm afraid he won't easily spare my life." Kayneth looked at the parchment scroll in his hand, analyzing calmly like a bystander.
Kayneth was originally an excellent magus. In the original work, if Kiritsugu Emiya hadn't held Sola, whom he cherished most, hostage to interfere with Kayneth's thinking, and if he hadn't harbored a shred of wishful thinking deep in his heart, he probably wouldn't have trusted Kiritsugu Emiya so easily.
Between magi, there are only dirty exchanges of interests; betrayal is a common occurrence.
"Heh, I was just worrying about how to dissolve the contract with LANCER. Because I used some small tricks to modify the contract, making Sola LANCER's mana supply unit, but the contract between me and LANCER still exists. Although I also signed a contract with Assassin, because the contract with LANCER wasn't dissolved, the signed contract was also imperfect. I was worrying about this earlier; I didn't expect Kiritsugu Emiya to actually send me such a big gift."
"What use do I have for such a useless Servant who doesn't know how to judge the situation and even covets his Master (referring to Sola)?"
Moreover, according to this Geas Scroll... although others can kill me, you, Kiritsugu Emiya, cannot attack me yourself.
You are eagerly delivering your weakness right to me.
In a place Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't see, a gleam flashed in Kayneth's eyes.
Then, under Kiritsugu Emiya's expecting gaze, he signed the Geas Scroll. Without a word, Kiritsugu Emiya handed the unconscious Sola over to Kayneth.
"In the name of the Command Spell, I order you, LANCER, commit suicide!" Kayneth tightly gripped Sola's severed arm, which emitted a red light.
Accompanying Kayneth's command, before Diarmuid could even react, the long spear in his hand fiercely pierced into his own chest.
"LANCER!" Facing the sudden situation, Artoria, who was fighting Diarmuid, was startled.
"Why?!" In an instant, a massive grudge emanated from Diarmuid's body.
Malice. This was Diarmuid's deep malice towards this world and everyone present.
"Ahhh!!!" Diarmuid let out an angry roar. "Do you people want to win that badly?"
Blood continuously gushed out from Diarmuid's chest.
It even stained the surrounding ground red.
"To not hesitate to trample on my, Diarmuid's, only wish... Do you people have no sense of shame at all?"
Diarmuid's eyes actually turned blood-red, and then black blood flowed out of his body.
"Unforgivable... Unforgivable. I, Diarmuid, will be waiting for your arrival in hell."
His body gradually disintegrated, and finally, after speaking these few curse words filled with Diarmuid's endless resentment, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
"...Again... Again! Deceived me again!" Artoria tightly gripped the Holy Sword in her hand.
Such despicable means again...
Artoria closed her eyes tightly, seeming to undergo an intense internal struggle.
"Kiritsugu Emiya, with this, the contract is established, right?"
However, Kayneth, who gave the order, had surprisingly calm eyes.
Looking at all this coldly.
"Yes, I can no longer take action against you." Strange feeling. Why do I still have an ominous premonition even though his Servant has already committed suicide here?
Is it because of that King Arthur?
If worst comes to worst, use the last Command Spell.
The priority is to resolve the matters here as soon as possible. Otherwise, it won't be good if other Masters find out.
Kiritsugu Emiya threw the cigarette butt in his hand outward.
A gunshot rang out in the silent sky.
This was the signal for Kiritsugu Emiya to let Maiya Hisau take action.
