Gilgamesh, who can also ascend to the Grand Caster rank, also possesses eyes that can see into the future.

only...

Is this something that can be used in combat?

Can't understand.

But it has already happened!

To utilize clairvoyance to this extent, one must be prepared to pay a price.

Is it really worth going to such lengths for a so-called trial?

King Gilgamesh!

......

In the silence, a rich aroma of wine wafted over.

It seems the inhabitants inside are enjoying fine wine.

Emiya Kiritsugu walked slowly and steadily to the center of the empty hall.

He relaxed all his muscles appropriately, without any unnecessary tension in any part of his body.

On the other hand, his spirit, like frozen lake water, transformed into a clear mirror, reflecting the entire surrounding landscape.

He transformed himself into a keen probe, more sensitive than hearing and clearer than sight, with no blind spots, able to detect even the slightest movement, and slowly advance in the darkness.

Kirei Kotomine should be inside this church, waiting for his arrival.

In the end, Kiritsugu Emiya's plan to wait for his prey to fall through completely failed, but he was not annoyed at all.

The Assassin who had been confirmed to be eliminated reappeared, and even used Irisviel to guide him towards Kirei Kotomine, who had no clue about the matter before.

It wasn't until he saw the Chaldeans that he realized everything.

As for why he knew about Chaldea's existence, it was naturally related to the contract of the Counter Force.

From that day on, he was asked to help Chaldea resolve the Holy Grail War.

How to resolve this Holy Grail War?

What about his wishes? How will his sacrifices be accounted for?

What about the deceased Maiya?!

How should we account for Irisviel, who was willing to sacrifice her life for this illusory wish?!

After learning the truth about the singularity through conversations with the Chaldea members, he became even more certain of his thoughts.

His hopes for the Holy Grail were dashed before they even began.

But he showed no sadness whatsoever, and simply said to the Chaldea members:

"I need you to follow my arrangements for now."

As for now, the initiative has been gained.

It's time to fight for something for yourself.

And next up is Kirei Kotomine...

Seeing Kirei's strategy today, Kiritsugu Emiya finally realized that he had been thinking in the wrong direction from the very beginning.

Although Kirei Kotomine regarded the church as a bastion for the war, his preparations were far too hasty.

This fragile castle lacks any magical foundation and is unsuitable for use as a fortress.

Even if time is limited, at least some simple traps or protective barriers should be set up.

Thinking about this, Kiritsugu Emiya had no choice but to understand—

In other words, for Kirei Kotomine, the man simply chose the church because it had the lowest probability of being ambushed.

Kiritsugu gently gripped the handle of the Contender's gun, feeling the texture of the walnut wood, while thinking of the man he had never met except in photographs.

Just as he was exploring step by step toward the confessional.

An old, heavy voice rang out.

"He's waiting for you in the underground wine cellar..."

He is the supervisor of this Holy Grail War—Kotamine Risei.

The church, being a neutral area, should not be violated in any way.

It is rather absurd that it has now become the center of the battlefield.

Perhaps fate had already decided everything when he got involved in this Holy Grail War.

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya made no response.

I just walked slowly, to avoid traps or anything else, and to think about what to do next.

I still need to fight for something...

Chapter 154 Original Sin!

Archer is currently facing off against three Servants outside the church, while the Matou family's Master Servants are still holed up in Ryudouji Temple.

Everything is going according to Kirei's wishes, and now no one will bother him.

With each sip of wine in his hand, he felt increasingly excited.

The words of blessing couldn't help but slip out.

“He restores my soul and guides me in the paths of righteousness in his name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

That person is right here.

Kirei was certain that the two of them would be able to meet this time.

For the first time, Kirei felt a blessing.

The God who had never looked after him in his life finally gave him revelation.

What he had been pursuing was this hatred.

Hatred and joy became his motivations for wielding the sword.

"Your staff and your sword comfort me; you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have poured oil on my head; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life—"

The door moved, wine spilled, and the crystal glass shattered.

The opposite of destiny converges here.

Kirei Kotomine thought many times about how he should react when Kiritsugu Emiya walked through that door.

Should you offer him a glass of red wine, provoke or mock him with words, or get straight to the point and ask him what his true desire for the Holy Grail is?

But when that man appeared, all my previous assumptions vanished.

His fingers were trembling with excitement, and he could barely hold the wine glass that was still half full.

With a crash, the wine glass made intimate contact with the ground, scattering crystal shards all over the floor, and the red wine reflected on the faces of the two men like blood.

Neither of them uttered a word.

Indeed, there's nothing more to say now, even though I still have a thousand words I want to express.

But at this moment, silence is inevitable.

Amidst the aroma of sake, Kiritsugu Emiya spotted a tall, slender figure in a monk's robe...

On the opposite bank, bathed in the warm glow of orange lights, Kirei Kotomine recognized his enemy's black coat.

He held a gleaming black key and a magic gun barrel that shone with the luster of gun oil.

Both knew of each other's murderous intent and how strong it was.

The two people, finally seeing each other face to face, simultaneously realized the same conclusion.

The seven Masters and seven Servants are just "incidents".

For Kiritsugu Emiya, this battle was—

For Kirei Kotomine, Fuyuki's battlefield is—

It exists solely to eliminate the enemy currently blocking its path.

Amidst the aroma of alcohol, a silver blade flashed.

With three swords in his right hand and three in his left, the executor wielded a total of six black swords with exposed blades, and sped off.

The assassin aimed his gun at the figure rapidly approaching, creating a gust of wind.

The final showdown unfolded silently here.

......

The chains of the Chains of Heaven were broken off shortly after they bound Lancer.

Although Lancer has low physical strength, she has high magical power, and since she lacks the attribute of divinity, the Chains of Heaven are just a relatively sturdy chain for her.

She then joined the fray.

Despite the three attackers closing in on him once again, the Hero King Gilgamesh remained unmoved.

Limiting his extensive observations of the future to small-scale battles, while it would cause him to lose his judgment on the overall direction of the world.

But this battle was enough to make him invincible.

But Lancer is still a problem; although you can see her attack patterns, she's too fast.

Those bright red eyes stared at the three people before them, filled with a bloodthirsty pleasure.

Only a king who has enjoyed all the pleasures of the world knows this extraordinary feeling.

In fact, Archer was indeed happy.

Although he was summoned to the other side of this time and space, he was repeatedly subjected to farces that were merely in the name of war, and he was already tired of such days.

Now he has finally found someone he can treat as an "enemy".

The challenge from Chaldea is worth fighting with all his might.
