Chapter 879: Kiritsugu Emiya's Secret Weapon!
Chapter 879: Kiritsugu Emiya's Secret Weapon!
Logically speaking, after Kiritsugu Emiya assassinated his own father, a ruthless act, he should have chosen to eradicate any remaining threats.
After his father's death, Faruzan Kui, unable to bear the blow, fell into a coma and eventually became a vegetable.
Given their situation as orphans, it should have been easy for Kiritsugu to eliminate them.
However, Kiritsugu did not make that choice. Instead of eradicating them, he maintained a facade of benevolence, meticulously teaching them his magical knowledge.
Seeing Rin Faruzuki's complex and perplexed expression, Kiritsugu, who had cared for her for many years, immediately understood her thoughts and revealed a maniacal smile, saying, "You're wondering why I killed your father and why I've been taking care of you and your mother all this time? The reason is simple. When I killed your father, I felt like I had found the meaning of my existence.
Unable to appreciate the beauty of humanity, I discovered my own value when I became evil incarnate, and I found that behavior fascinating.
The evil of betraying trust is so delicious and unforgettable that I plan to mold you into a second Faruzan Shishou."
"However, it's a pity that compared to your father, you are equally foolish, but you possess an intuition that he lacked.
Perhaps my disguise wasn't perfect, or perhaps it's your innate nature, but for so many years, you've likely been wary and distrustful of me."
After hearing Kiritsugu's words, both Rin and Shirou Emiya were stunned. They had never imagined that such a thoroughly evil being could exist in this world.
Ryushin Ryuzou is a serial killer, but his malice is only superficial.
Kiritsugu is different. While he's not entirely without evil, his dedication to embodying his malicious nature and finding pleasure in it is chilling.
Ryushin Ryuzou is a pure pervert and a madman, while Kiritsugu is a twisted individual obsessed with his nature.
To relive the pleasure of betraying trust, he's willing to spend ten years trying to gain Rin's trust, like her father's, only to betray her in the end.
"Humans like you, living in this world, only bring disaster to others!"
Saber, the upright knight, couldn't hold back after hearing Kiritsugu's actions. She rushed forward, brandishing the sword of promised victory, and slashed at Kiritsugu.
"Ding——————!"
Just as Saber's sword was about to strike Kiritsugu, a silver-haired girl in a black nun's habit and armor, also holding a black longsword, appeared before Saber and blocked her attack.
Black Jeanne countered Saber's attack with a parry and then swiftly struck her with a backhand, sending her flying.
Rin and Shirou were surprised to see the black Heroic Spirit and Saber being knocked away.
Saber, who had already changed Masters, was now in her "All A" form. The fact that the girl could knock her away indicated that her abilities were no less than Saber's.
"Avenger, as your Master, I use Command Spells to amplify your mana!"
"Avenger, as your Master, I use Command Spells to enhance your ability parameters!"
"Avenger, as your Master, I command you to defeat all our enemies!"
Seeing Kiritsugu use three Command Spells in a row to enhance his Heroic Spirit, Rin and the others thought he had gone mad.
However, before long, Rin and Shirou were left speechless in surprise as Kirei Kotomine rolled up the sleeves on his arms, revealing countless Command Spells!
In a normal situation, after summoning their Heroic Spirit Servant, the Master in the Holy Grail War would be granted three Command Spells.
These Command Spells can both restrict and empower Heroic Spirit Servants, making them invaluable in the Holy Grail War.
Due to their importance, Masters in the Holy Grail War are always cautious and conservative in their use of Command Spells, which is why it's not uncommon for Masters to still have some remaining after the war's conclusion.
So, where do these leftover Command Spells from past Holy Grail Wars end up? The answer lies with the supervising Fuyuki Cathedral Church, whose priest and overseer was previously Kirei Ryousho.
After Kirei Ryousho's death, these leftover Command Spells naturally fell into the hands of Kirei Kotomine, who was acting as a substitute.
The Church, as the overseer of the Holy Grail War, possesses certain privileges, including a significant number of Command Spells. This is why Church personnel are prohibited from participating in the Holy Grail War.
Although Kirei Kotomine is the son of Kirei Ryousho, in a strict sense, he is merely a substitute and not an official member of the Church.
Exploiting this loophole, Kirei Kotomine has become the biggest cheater in this Holy Grail War.
As a Servant of the Avenger class, Black Jeanne d'Arc is already incredibly powerful, and with the extensive Command Spell enhancements, her formidable strength is evident.
This is why, even after learning that Gilgamesh was defeated by Night City, Kirei Kotomine remains fearless and stationed at the Church.
With these Command Spells in his possession and the repeated enhancements, the Avenger Black Jeanne d'Arc is far more powerful than Gilgamesh!
Witnessing Kirei Kotomine using three Command Spells without blinking, Rin Faruzuki realizes that if she allows him to continue empowering the Avenger, even a powerful Servant like Saber might be overwhelmed. She quickly takes out several gemstones and throws them at Kirei Kotomine.
The gemstones explode with stored magic, and the erupting flames interrupt Kirei Kotomine's attempt to use more Command Spells.
At the same moment, Shirou Emiya uses his Projection Magic to instantly create a pair of broken swords, one black and one white, and then dashes towards Kirei Kotomine.
Unfortunately, despite Shirou Emiya's rapid growth in strength since being drawn into the Holy Grail War, his pursuit against the battle-hardened Kirei Kotomine yields no results.
Before Gan Jiang Mo Ye can strike Kirei Kotomine, it is blocked by Kirei Kotomine's swiftly produced Black Key, and with a single exertion of his arm, Shirou Emiya is sent flying!
"Boom——————!"
Meanwhile, as Rin and Shirou engage Kirei Kotomine, the battle between Saber and Black Jeanne d'Arc on the other side intensifies.
The underground warehouse's ceiling is shattered, and with a clear dragon's roar, a massive red fire dragon is summoned by Black Jeanne d'Arc, crushing the ceiling and descending upon Saber!
