Chapter 80 Director Ken is angry again
Just when the hidden weapon set by the despicable Emiya Kiritsugu, the disgrace of magi in Kenneth's eyes, was about to hit him.

The place where he stood was covered by a silver sphere.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was actually like the surface of the moon, full of potholes, blocking all the steel balls.

This is the source of Kenneth's arrogance.

This is the courage that gave him the courage to attend the banquet alone.

The automatic defense function of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid gave him great confidence.

But for some reason, Jianchen Jianchen's reminder kept lingering in his mind.

"Special bullets?"

“…Hmph~”

The protective barrier of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was removed, and Kenneth looked at the tragic scene around him.

Although he knew nothing about modern technology, he had devoted his entire life to magic and knew that the reason he had not discovered the trap in front of him was not because Kiritsugu Emiya's level was too high, nor because his level had declined.

But it’s because this trap is not a magic trap at all.

In response to this, Kenneth, who had always looked down on Emiya Kiritsugu's tricks,
Even more disdainful:

"Have the Einzbern family fallen to this level, relying on these inferior things?"

As opposed to anger at encountering a trap.

Kenneth was more surprised that Einzbern, a famous magic family, had chosen such a lowly and vulgar magician this time.

As someone who strictly abides by the dignity of a magician, Kenneth simply cannot understand such things.

Of course, he also couldn't understand Einzbern's obsession with the Holy Grail's advent.

"Very good, then this time it will not be a battle but a crusade."

Kenneth defined this battle.

Even though his fiancée died at the hands of the other party, what he was thinking in his heart was still to use the magician's methods to end Emiya Kiritsugu's life.

But the other party's methods were too vulgar for him, and their actions tarnished the dignity of magic.

This greatly angered him,
There was an uncontrollable murderous intent in his heart, and driven by the murderous intent, he searched for the figure of Emiya Kiritsugu.

Emiya Kiritsugu was in the living room.

Although he cannot use familiars, which would be discovered by Kenneth almost instantly, to observe Kenneth's movements.

But compared to the familiars,
What Kiritsugu Emiya was more comfortable using were the cameras that monitored every corner of the castle from all directions.

now,

Kiritsugu Emiya was using a camera to observe Kenneth downstairs.

He could guess some of Kenneth's anger, but he couldn't understand it at all.

For him, as long as he can win, the means used are of no importance.

but,

Kenneth's ability still made Emiya Kiritsugu a little frightened.

"The speed of mercury controlled by magic is faster than the explosion of a mine?"

"No," Emiya Kiritsugu denied the thought in his mind, "That should be Mercury's 'program'? Or a feature like automatic defense."

With such doubts in mind, Emiya Kiritsugu held the submachine gun and walked to the door while thinking about the castle layout map in his mind, intending to leave the reception room first.

——He suddenly stopped.

Liquid mercury with a metallic luster squeezed in from the crack in the door.

As if it knew it was being observed, the mercury quickly left.

At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu also understood Kenneth's methods.

"I see. Automatically lock onto the enemy?"

Just as the thought came to his mind, the vibration on the floor attracted Emiya Kiritsugu's attention. He looked towards the center of the vibration with a solemn expression.

First, something like a jellyfish tentacle pushed the floor open, and then Kenneth, as if riding an elevator, rose from the first floor to his front.

"Found you, rat."

His body is straight, his face is proud, the corners of his mouth are sarcastic, and his hands are behind his back.

Kenneth, full of confidence, greeted him as if he was teasing a cat that was destined to not escape from his grasp.

Emiya Kiritsugu's response was even more direct.

"Da da da da da da..."

The submachine gun quickly fired through a burst of bullets.

Kenneth was in the protective shield of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. Logically, there should be nothing else in his sight except mercury.

But he could see the situation ahead clearly. This was the power of magic.

'Normal bullets?'

Kenneth, who was always prepared for unexpected events, frowned.

The advice of Kenshin Matou was still echoing in his mind, but Kiritsugu Emiya's offensive methods were so weak that he couldn't take it seriously.

"cut!"

While Emiya Kiritsugu was reloading, Kayneth attacked without hesitation.

Although he felt it was too simple, as long as he had the chance to avenge his fiancée, he would naturally grab it and not let it go.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid turned into a blade as thin as a cicada's wing. The gleaming light on it would not let anyone underestimate its sharpness.

Of course, Emiya Kiritsugu would not underestimate the enemy.

His face was calm, but his body was extremely tense.

"Inherent Time Control: Double Speed."

Magical power surged, filling Emiya Kiritsugu's body.

Everything around turned black and white, and the attacking Kenneth and Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid seemed to have changed from dynamic to static.

Emiya Kiritsugu shuttled through it, completing in one second what would normally take him two seconds to complete.

"Oh?" Kenneth cried out in surprise.

The target that should have been cut in half by the blade of the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid actually dodged his attack.

This was not what surprised him most.

What surprised him the most was that Emiya Kiritsugu finally stopped using modern weapons, which were too lowly for a magus, and instead used the magical power he possessed.

As the monarch of the Clock Tower, Kenneth, who had been immersed in the world of magic all his life, analyzed Kiritsugu Emiya's methods in an instant.

"Have you transformed your body into a permanent barrier and manipulated time to speed it up?"

Kenneth was extremely certain about the words of doubt.

"It seems that you have learned some magic. Well, you have been influenced by magic, but you have become a despicable person who relies on cheap tricks. Death will make you see yourself clearly."

Because of his profession, Kenneth's speech also has the habits of a teacher.

His words seemed to be somewhat gentle, but his heart was even colder.

It would be fine if it was just ordinary garbage, but Emiya Kiritsugu had been exposed to magic after all, and he actually used such a despicable trick.

In Kenneth's mind,
Emiya Kiritsugu is now not only a despicable villain who relies on despicable means, but also a scum who will do anything to bring shame to magi.

The killing intent in his heart grew stronger, and Kenneth coldly ordered to the Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid:

"Track and kill!"
