Chapter 56

If you compare a Magus's magic circuit to a high-voltage current circuit, Kiritsugu's bullet is a drop of water.

What happens if a conductive liquid adheres to a dense electrical circuit – because a short circuit in the loop causes the current to destroy the circuit itself, causing a complete failure.

As with that, making the magic circuit "short-circuit" is the terrifying effect of the Kiritsugu dress.

If someone want to avoid damage from Kiritsugu's magic bullets, anyone need to use only physical means to defend against bullets without relying on any magic.

From the very beginning, there was simply no armor that could completely protect against the bullets of this hunting rifle.

It is a bullet that is known for its penetrating power, and as long as you don't ride in an armored vehicle, you will definitely not be able to avoid being injured.

No more time to waste, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his gun, intending to give Tosaka Tokiomi the final blow to end his life.

Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Tosaka Tokiomi who couldn't move just now and disappeared.

"How could it be!?Is there still a hole card...?"

Emiya Kiritsugu was immediately annoyed.

It was at this time that Emiya Kiritsugu heard a voice coming from the hallway near the staircase.

The red-haired boy, driven by a large area of mercury, seemed to levitate towards Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Are there any enemies...!".

Almost subconsciously, Emiya Kiritsugu raised his machine gun towards the man and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Da-da-da !

From the tongues of fire that erupted from the machine gun, bullets shot out at a rapid pace.

However, there were more than fifty rounds of 9mm bullets, but the moment they hit the young man's side, the place where he was standing was wrapped in a silver semicircle.

The block of mercury that had been entrenched at the boy's feet was transformed into a semicircle in an instant.

The thickness of the film is less than 1 mm, which seems to be fragile, but under the power of magic, it can make the tension of the mercury film reach the strength of a steel plate.

This is the "Auto-Defense" mode of the Moon Spirit Liquid.

This pre-programmed magic is able to automatically react when Shirou is threatened, instantly opening a powerful defensive film.

That kind of reaction speed can be defended against even bullets.

"who are you?".

Emiya Kiritsugu endured the side effects of using the "Inherent Time Control" before, and gritted his teeth and whispered.

He doesn't remember this person in this Holy Grail War!

And so on...

Emiya Kiritsugu's pupils shrank, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Are you the ... Eighth Master!?".

Before, at the time of fuyuki bridge, the eighth servant who shot at Caster who was manipulating the sea devil!

That's right, this person is most likely the eighth participant in the Holy Grail War!

So, what about his Servant?

Emiya Kiritsugu guessed suspiciously.

At this time, the young man with brown-red hair and wearing a red sweatshirt replied.

"I'm just a ... Just a Magus passing by. "

The young man's answer made Emiya Kiritsugu's heart heavy.

The mere defeat of Tosaka Tokiomi had already exhausted him, and now he had to face another Magus ... who seemed to be just as powerful

Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath, then turned around without hesitation and fled.

Of course, he knew that he couldn't just escape, so it was just a delaying tactic.

With his back against the corner, Kiritsugu Emiya endured the pain caused by the side effects while calmly reloading the single-shot pistol with "origin bullets".

The opponent's magic should be to use mercury as a means of attack and defense, and since this is the case, it should subconsciously use the way just to resist the bullet.

In this way, the "Origin Bomb" can come in handy.

But if you shoot recklessly, the other party will definitely perceive your fearlessness.

Therefore, after reloading the "Origin Bullet", Emiya Kiritsugu reloaded another normal bullet.

In this way, after the first ordinary bullet is easily resisted, the opponent will let down their vigilance, and then they will take the second bullet lightly, and even think that it is Emiya Kiritsugu's dying throes.

"It's almost ...".

Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath, made up his mind, and recited the incantation.

"Timealter—doubleaccel".

Even if the side effects will worsen, if you don't use it now, you may not have the opportunity to use it in the future, because you may die here.

Without further thought, Emiya Kiritsugu rushed out.

His body has become much faster in Shirou's eyes, but for Shirou, whose physical ability is far beyond ordinary people, it is still within the range of what he can handle.

"Projection!".

Two rugged long swords, one black and one white, appeared in Shirou's hand, and it was "Kanshou and Bakuya Overedge"!

At the same time that Shirou finished projecting, Emiya Kiritsugu had already raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

Bang ————!

A bullet flew out of a single-shot pistol, aiming at Shirou's heart.

Bell ————!

Bright sparks flashed, and Emiya Kiritsugu's expression was slightly sluggish.

What did he just see?

That Magus, using "projection" magic?

Emiya Kiritsugu knows about "projection magic", which is a magic technique that uses magic to materialize mirrors and imitations of objects that exist in reality.

Because it is formed by magic, it cannot be embodied for a long time, so it can only be projected for a few minutes with no appearance.

In addition, when there is a flaw in the illusion, it will also be foggy, and it is regarded as an extremely inefficient behavior.

How can that fragile replica withstand a bullet?

It should be broken the moment it is touched, and it should be ...

But the two swords projected by the young man in front of him subverted these absurdly.

The tenacity of those two "swords" is enough to resist bullets.

In Emiya Kiritsugu's view, this is almost impossible, but the facts are presented in front of him, and the other party has done it.

Although there was a lot of speculation in his mind for a while, the activation of the "Inherent Time Control" was almost to the limit of Emiya Kiritsugu's body, and he had to take action at this moment.

Emiya Kiritsugu threw away the doubts in his heart, didn't think about it anymore, and pulled the trigger again towards Shirou.

This time, it was the "Origin Bomb".

At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu, who understood that the other party could withstand bullets, raised the machine gun in his other hand.

Da-da-da !

Dozens of bullets were fired at a rapid pace, and in such a situation, Emiya Kiritsugu did not think that a boy with only two swords would be able to fend off these bullets one by one.

However, the development of events was far beyond Emiya Kiritsugu's expectations.
