[007: Tokiomi Tohsaka] [Character Information: A famous Japanese magi. The fifth head of the Tohsaka family, a prestigious magical lineage. One of the Three Great Magus Families participating in the Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War. A wealthy family with many members within the Mage's Association. Specializes in Jewel Magecraft, with a fire attribute.] [Hidden Information: Locked.] [Record Conditions (0/2)]: [•Defeat Tokiomi Tohsaka. (Incomplete)] [•Experiance Tokiomi's Jewel Magecraft. (Incomplete)] "As expected, they are after me, after all, I did raid their treasure vault..." Sakatsuki glanced at the man in a red suit in the rearview mirror, not surprised at all. But when he caught sight of the man in the clerical robe with a cross necklace on his chest in the right rearview mirror, he couldn't help but be shocked. "Could it be?!" The Fate Compendium's record revealed the truth. [008: Kirei Kotomine] [Character Information: A first-class executor of the Holy Church, possessing a magic circuit despite having a non-magus lineage. Extremely skilled with Black Keys and has a strong ability to attack spiritual beings. Born with a mental defect, he can only experience pleasure and happiness through the pain and misfortune of others, and the destruction of all things. However, he is still struggling under the constraints of his faith—can you stop this distortion before he completely descends into it?] [Hidden Information: Locked.]@@@@ [Record Conditions (0/2)]: [•Defeat Kirei Kotomine. (Incomplete)] [•Kill Kirei Kotomine. (Incomplete)] Amid the sounds of passing winds, two Black Keys resembling crosses transformed into streaks of light, catching up to the speeding Sakatsuki. "Trace on!" The twin black and white blades deflected the Black Keys, and Sakatsuki shot the twin blades toward Kirei Kotomine, who was rushing toward him. "Crack!" The man in the clerical robe crossed his hands in front of his chest, and six large Black Keys appeared between his fingers. They expanded into a fan shape and intercepted the two weapons. However, this broke his momentum, allowing Sakatsuki to pull away. "See you next time, gentlemen!" "Tch!" Sakatsuki clicked his tongue. With his current strength magecraft of this level can hardly harm him, but the swirling flames blocked his vision, preventing him from killing Kirei in that perfect opportunity. "In that case!" Casually dispersing the flames, Sakatsuki turned his black longbow, aimed an arrow at Tokiomi, and released the string. It is just a simple arrow—or so they initially thought. However, when the multiple defence barriers set by Tokiomi were shattered, the emergency gemstone shield pierced, and even his left arm was struck, their expressions changed. Because what awaited them was a rain of arrows, like artillery fire sweeping the battlefield! "I've been fighting all this time and forgot that I'm an archer." After firing a dozen arrows, Sakatsuki exhaled lightly. He looked at Tokiomi and Kirei, who were using all their defences, and finally sheathed his bow, pulling away without hesitation. When the barrage ended, Sakatsuki was already gone, and the dishevelled Tokiomi gritted his teeth, his face grim. "Don't let me find you!" Though he had discovered in time that his most important Holy Relic was not stolen, the extremely precious magical materials he had prepared to summon the King of Heroes were almost completely looted by this little thief. If he had to prepare another set, the Tohsaka family would be completely out of money and might even need to borrow just to survive. Tokiomi stroked the red gem at the tip of his staff and quickly concluded. Money can be regained, but the Holy Grail War must be won at all costs. Damn it, if it weren't for this little thief, how did he end up in such a situation?! Meanwhile, Kirei silently watched the direction Sakatsuki was heading, deep in thought. If he wasn't mistaken, the young man didn't seem to have much killing intent when attacking Tokiomi. But when it came to him, that intense killing intent left Kirei stunned. Could it be... he knows me? In the calm depths of his heart, besides the magus killer, another object of interest had appeared.
