[275] Kurokawa Kazuya's Weaknesses
Looking at the sky, where the sun was about to set, Kazuya spoke, "We still have some time before the night battle... Let's take a rest first. The daytime battle can end here; the real battle is at night."
"Understood, my Master..."
...
"It has become quiet." Noel Layard sighed slightly as he looked at the now deserted Mage's Association headquarters. The clone squad had disappeared earlier...
Although it seemed that Barthomeloi Lorelei had the idea of reorganizing the clone squad after returning to the Mage's Association, estimating that it would be a lengthy and arduous project.
And now, with the failure of this Holy Grail War...
Yes, this kind of thing had never crossed mind before. Because...
Gilgamesh was manageable.
Now it seemed that Gilgamesh and Pharaoh were evenly matched.
And on this side, with Enkidu, Arash, there should be no loss. However, dealing with the Black Lancer, Alucard, was proving to be difficult.
How could they kill him?
How could they make him unleash his Noble Phantasm?
The only way to make him use his Noble Phantasm seemed to be to make Lancer's Master not care about winning the Holy Grail War anymore, not think about anything, just let Lancer unleash his Noble Phantasm.
That way, they could win, that way, they had a chance!
But... the problem returned. How could they make Alucard use his Noble Phantasm?
This was something that everyone wanted to avoid as much as possible, but now they hoped that he would use it sooner.
This was not only he concern but also Barthomeloi Lorelei.
Now, with almost all the names and abilities of the characters in the Holy Grail War revealed, the remaining task was figuring out how to deal with them.
But this was proving to be quite difficult.
For Alucard, perhaps knowing his true name was the most difficult thing.
Just like when Saber first faced Alucard... Even if he resurrected, it didn't matter. He could resurrect and be killed again, resurrect and be killed again!
But—
When Saber learned Alucard's true name, knew his abilities...
What? Kill him a few million times? How many times had he killed him just now? Three times? Four times? Or five times?
Then compare it to how he was panting now—a sense of powerlessness and despair would naturally surge.
In this way, maybe he could kill him dozens or even hundreds of times without knowing, but knowing... maybe even ten times would be difficult.
The situation was similar when Barthomeloi Lorelei fought against Kurokawa Kazuya.
However, here they were completely unaware. Having seen Kurokawa Kazuya take down DIO, gaining DIO's abilities and the power of the Star Platinum, dealing with Alucard's abilities should not be impossible.
Looking at him over there, relaxed and confident.
And... there was no sign of using Command Spells to call Akado.
Barthomeloi Lorelei felt a bit uneasy. When she became anxious, her attacks became chaotic. Although she still killed Kurokawa Kazuya several times, she felt that there was no hope, and his mind couldn't help but think, "Do I have to kill him a few million times?"
"Could it be that this guy's life is shared with Alucard?"
So, not to mention three times, even if she killed Kurokawa Kazuya ten times, she didn't feel tired, and she was about to gasp for breath.
The psychological impact affected the battle.
Unknown things were frightening.
"Enkidu? Where are you?" Noel Layard couldn't think of any way to contact her Servant. Tonight, that Kurokawa Kazuya would definitely take action...
The relationship between the hunter and the prey had changed.
Since he couldn't kill him, the situation of targeting the Master no longer existed. Now... all they could do was try their best to kill Alucard!
"Oh, Lancer's Master..."
"Kairi Shishigou ..." Noel Layard looked at the approaching Saber's Master, no, he should say the Saber's Master from before, who said, "What? Is there something?"
"Ah... well, sort of." Kairi Shishigou, without changing his pace, walked over and said, "I... can somewhat consider that I've found Kurokawa Kazuya's weaknesses. Just wanted to let you know before I leave."
"What—? Whom are you talking about?" Noel Layard raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're saying you found Kurokawa Kazuya's weaknesses?"
"Yeah, that's right," Kairi Shishigou nodded. "His weakness... if I guessed correctly, it's the original manuscript. Kurokawa Kazuya draw the original manuscript himself."
"What... does that mean?"
"Didn't Shakespeare say it already? Kurokawa Kazuya have been drawing something all along... that something is his weakness. If you destroy it, that guy will go berserk." Kairi Shishigou said with a smile, "Don't say I didn't tell you... you wanted achievements, right? Consider this a gift."
With that, he turned around, waved his hand, and walked away with a suitcase in hand. "Well then, I'm leaving. The battle is over, and you probably won't need me anymore, right? Of course, even if you need me, I'll still leave and won't come back."
Noel Layard remained stunned for quite a while before slowly regaining her composure. "In other words... if we destroy Kurokawa Kazuya's original manuscript, he will go berserk, and if he goes berserk, he will let Lancer unleash his Noble Phantasm, right?"
Of course... Kairi Shishigou said that for a reason, and now he understood.
Let him be the villain?
If he found out who did it, he would surely have the heart to kill that person.
But...
He had no choice but to take this risk.
Just as Kairi Shishigou said, he yearned for achievements. If in the end, he could obtain the Holy Grail...
If in the end, his wish led him to make a wish...
He... hoped to make a wish to reach the root. If that happened... as long as he succeeded in becoming a magician..
So...
Even if he offended people, even if Kurokawa Kazuya wanted revenge later...
It didn't matter.
As long as he could win, everything else didn't matter.
And if he lost... it didn't matter either; everything would be meaningless!
