I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

This idiot!

Whether it was Saber in danger, Kenneth's attack, or Kotomine Kirei's appearance, Justeza, who had just watched with cold eyes, finally couldn't sit still.

Irisviel is the Little Holy Grail of this Holy Grail War. Her existence is more important than the seven Masters and Servants. If something goes wrong with her, even if the Holy Grail War ends, the Holy Grail summoning ceremony will fail.

There must be no problem with Irisviel. With this thought, Justeza left the castle, left the best observation position, and headed straight for Irisviel's location.

Dominated by an inexplicable eagerness, she forgot to tell Shinji, forgetting that the Little Holy Grail does not need Irisviel to be alive, or even her specially adjusted body, it only needs to be preserved. Her heart would have no impact on the ceremony.

At this time, Justessa did not realize that Irisviel's importance was not because she was the Little Holy Grail, but because she had obtained the human soul and emotions that Justessa hoped to get.

Also feeling anxious was Kuu Maiya, who was seriously injured and unable to move.

The two of them had agreed before that during the duel with Kotomine Kirei, Irisviel would only be responsible for providing covert support and would not show up no matter what the situation was.

Maiya knew very well that if he failed, Irisviel, who had no combat experience, would never be a match for Kirei Kotomine.

Ma'am, no!

Regardless of her injuries, Maiya coughed up blood and tried to stop Irisviel.

Kotomine Kirei put down her fists and looked at the artificial man who suddenly confronted her with an expressionless face.

He didn't understand what Irisviel was doing. In his opinion, Irisviel is the master of Saber, the core of the entire Einzbern camp, and the one who must be protected no matter what. If she dies, the Einzbern will repeat the Holy Grail's fate last time. The consequences of war.

According to Kotomine Rimasa, the Einzbern family was too focused on alchemy and was not good at fighting, so they always left the Holy Grail War early. Judging from the circumstances surrounding the recruitment of the mercenary Emiya Kiritsugu, they must have reflected on that humiliating experience.

So, with the female guard lying on the ground, why did the Master of Einzbern appear alone in front of Kotomine Kirei? Isn't this courting death?

Woman, you may be surprised, but I didn't come here to knock you down.

It sounded like a low-level lie that no one would believe, but it was Kotomine Kirei's truest thought. Meeting Emiya Kiritsugu on the battlefield was Kirei's purpose. Compared with that, everything else was unimportant.

I know it very well, Kotomine Kirei.

To Kirei's surprise, Irisviel actually believed it.

I know your purpose, but that's impossible. If you can't get to Emiya Kiritsugu, we will stop you, right here!

Kotomine Kirei was confused by Irisviel's words - why should she? Is it ignorance? Or is there really something to rely on?

When her opponent hesitated, Irisviel pulled out her favorite weapon hidden in the cuff of her coat. No, it was not a weapon at all, just a bunch of soft metal wires.

Madam, this man is a proxy, a master of hunting magicians, and he is not an opponent that ordinary magic can deal with!

Irisviel smiled quietly back at Maiya who was squatting on the ground and shouting while enduring the pain.

Kiritsugu taught me more than just driving! He also taught me to live, not as a doll, but as a human being!

In front of Maiya who was speechless and Kirei who was watching in surprise, Irisviel poured magic power into the wire. The extremely slender metal wires unbundled and began to flow between the fingers of Irisviel's hands like a living thing.

No one knew that Irisviel’s rank as a magician was higher than that of her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu.

No one knew that Irisviel had already learned how to use her magic as a means of attack.

Indeed, Einzbern's family magic is the refining, creation and application of materials, and is non-offensive magic. However, Irisviel relied on what she learned from her husband, who was always wandering around in battle, and her determination to live with him, and she created a fighting style that was only hers.

shapeistLeben! (shape of life)

Through two measures of chanting, the magic is woven in one breath.

This is Irisviel’s secret technique—metal form manipulation. This secret technique is unparalleled in the entire magic world.

Silver threads are criss-crossed, forming complex outlines. Complex three-dimensional objects intertwined and combined with each other, appearing like rattan handicrafts, with ferocious wings, beaks, and sharp claws.

It was an exquisite silver filigree craft based on a giant eagle.

No, that's not just a replica.

kyeeee!!

Letting out a high-pitched scream as if a metal blade had been sliced ​​across it, the silver eagle flew up from Irisviel's hand.

It was an artificial life form made on-site using alchemy, and it was a weapon given life to Irisviel, who was now facing a critical moment of life and death.

The flying posture of the silver eagle was like a bullet, far beyond Kirei's imagination. He dodged the attack in an instant, but the razor-sharp beak still grazed the tip of his nose.

After the first blow was missed, the silver-threaded eagle immediately hovered over Kirei's head. This time, he pounced with the claws of both feet, aiming for Kirei's face.

However, this was not an attack that was difficult for the agent to deal with. Kirei was not afraid of the sharp claws and struck the hawk with a very powerful fist.

The rapidly descending eagle could no longer change its trajectory, and its fist directly hit the eagle's abdomen.

Well?

It was Kirei who made a sound of surprise.

When the eagle was hit by the fist, it returned to amorphous silver threads, wrapping around his right fist like a vine.

Kirei immediately tried to pull it with his left hand, but the silver thread even got entangled in that hand. The silver threads that were flying in the air in the form of an eagle just now were tightly bound to Kirei's hands like handcuffs.

snort!

Faced with this dilemma, Kirei just snorted and rushed towards Irisviel. He is a master who has fought countless magicians in death battles in the past, but having his hands sealed is not a big deal. He only needs to get close and launch a kick to determine the winner.

too naive!

Irisviel scolded, injecting more magic power into the silver thread.

A bunch of silver threads stretched out from the bundle that bound Kirei's hands. This time, it ran like a snake through the void and entangled itself with the nearby tree trunk.

Even Kirei couldn't resist it now. During the moment when he lost his balance and regained his footing, the silver thread tightly wrapped around the tree trunk, dragging Kirei continuously, and finally tied his hands and wrists firmly to the tree trunk.

The diameter of the tree trunk exceeds thirty centimeters, and it is impossible to break or pull it up with human strength. This terrifying agent was finally completely blocked from moving.

However, now is not the time to celebrate victory. Under Kirei's strength, Irisviel is gradually losing the advantage she finally won.

Originally, Kirei's hands should have been cut open by the pressure of the silver wire, but the muscles that were trained like steel were stronger than Irisviel's imagination. Her silver wire was almost broken and was in a saturated state on the verge of breaking. In order to strengthen the metal and keep it tight and not broken, she could only continuously activate all her magic power.

Miss Maiya, hurry up, please!

The key to victory is Maiya who is leaning on the ground. Irisviel has used all her strength to restrain Kirei, and she is the only one who can give the immobile Kirei the final blow.

As long as you don't get close to the opponent's kicking range, one shot to the exposed head is enough. Kirei now couldn't protect his head with the sleeves of his bulletproof suit like before.

After getting a moment of respite, the injured Maiya regained consciousness in her hands and feet. She groaned at the pain of broken ribs as she slowly moved closer to the discarded M950.

Victory or defeat was a contest of perseverance measured in seconds. Although she gritted her teeth due to the pain in her magic circuit, Irisviel still worked hard to persevere.

Maiya picked up the gun and fired, as long as the strength of the silver thread was maintained until then, that would eliminate Kotomine Kirei, Kiritsugu's biggest threat.

However, they still underestimated the terror of Kotomine Kirei and the terror of Bajiquan.

Irisviel, who had no knowledge of Chinese boxing, thought that just tying his hands to a tree would make Kirei unable to fight back. But a boxer with a high level of cultivation has weapons all over his body.

Kirei stepped hard on the ground with both feet, causing the tree trunk to vibrate violently, and the deafening sound shocked Irisviel.

This is the sound produced by punching the center of the tree with all your strength.

The blow sounded again, and unlike the last time, this time the blow was mixed with the sound of trees breaking, a sound that sent chills down the spine.

Although she couldn't see the situation clearly, Irisviel, who was controlling the silver wire, understood through touch that there was a huge crack in the tree trunk, right near where the silver wire was wrapped, and directly under Kirei's hands.

Kirei kept his hands close to the bark of the tree and was hitting the trunk with his palms with all his strength.

Chinese boxing does not only rely on the strength of the arms or wrists, but also uses the power of the feet on the ground, the rotation of the waist, the twisting of the shoulders, and the twisting of the arms and wrists, and the total instant explosive power of the whole body is concentrated in the fist. above, thus hitting a blow that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

If necessary, it is not impossible to use parts other than the arms to generate strength. This is called inch strength in Chinese boxing.

The third blow echoed through the forest, louder than the last, and the tree trunks let out a final scream.

The broken fibers cracked under their own weight, and the tree that was the fulcrum of the silver thread collapsed.

Kirei casually got rid of the ring surrounded by silver wires, grabbed the silver wires with both hands and tore them off section by section.

Irisviel felt a strong sense of weakness due to the feedback caused by the magic being broken, and she knelt down on the spot.

Quietly looking at the desperate eyes of the two women, Kirei used the calm steps of a winner to get to the M950 that Maiya wanted to pick up, and trampled the resin frame to pieces with his hammer-like feet.

You guy!

Kirei glanced at Maiya, who was still leaning over and moaning with hatred, without any interest, and then casually kicked her in the abdomen. Maiya rolled over and fell to the ground, motionless and passed out.

Afterwards, Kirei looked at Irisviel with cold eyes lacking all emotion.

He was sure of victory and did not notice that the silver threads scattered on the ground were gathering together quietly.

PS: There is a master in the book club who has practiced Bajiquan since childhood and has been practicing for 20 years. The traitor asked him before writing this chapter. He said that the scene of Mapo fucking a tree can be realized. Mapo's realm is probably worse than that of the founder of Bajiquan in the third dimension. It can be seen that Lao Xu has really tested this aspect. of.
