Chapter 46: Assassin Dies Again!

Words : 765 Updated : Sep 12th, 2025

On the building's rooftop. "The sniper failed." After the gunshot was blocked by a sword, Kiritsugu Emiya knew that the plan to assassinate Rider's Master had failed. After all, the essence of assassination is surprise. Once discovered, it's no longer an assassination. Hmph, no one would consider wielding a massive sword and hacking down anyone in sight as assassination, would they? That would be laughable.@@@@ As for the attack by Maiya afterwards, it was merely an experiment to confirm the effects of magical bullets; if it could kill Rider's Master, that would be a bonus. With lightning speed, Kiritsugu dismantled his firearm, his expression cold as he prepared to leave before Rider could react. However, just then the warning signs he had honed through life-and-death experiences flared up. Not bothering with the expensive parts, Kiritsugu tossed the items in his hand aside, opening his magical circuits and activating the only specialized magic he knew, at the fastest possible speed. "Time Alter, Double Accel!" With his magecraft activated, Kiritsugu's internal reality marble expanded, pushing him to a speed nearly that of a servant, and he leapt backwards, narrowly dodging a streak of cold light like flowing water. His black trench coat flared out like wings before being torn to pieces, drifting away in the wind. "Ha... ha..." The strain of using magecraft caused his blood vessels to rupture, and with every breath, there was a metallic taste in his mouth. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the shadowy servant in front of him, slowly retracting a short dagger. "Assassin." The figure before him, wearing a skull mask and a coarse black robe, could only be the Assassin who had been killed in front of everyone earlier. Now, this servant resurrected from death, raised its weapon at him again. The murderous intent of the servant, the resistance to its own death, the fear of repeated deaths and resurrections—if it were anyone else, they would have crumbled under this immense pressure. However, Kiritsugu Emiya was not that type of person. In battle, he would remain calm, analyzing and processing information like a machine, always seeking a way to defeat or kill the enemy. Thus, when Assassin appeared for the third time, Kiritsugu immediately overturned his previous judgment and concluded. "...I see now. It wasn't a mere escape from Tokiomi's mansion, but rather, the servant has truly died twice and exists in a multiple form." If Sakatsuki were here, he would likely smile and tell Papa Kiritsugu. "Congratulations, you've got it right." Of course, his plan didn't stop there. Kiritsugu had already set up traces around the building, and if Assassin followed them, they would find nothing. The safest place is often the most dangerous. This safe house was constructed by the Fuyuki City underworld's Fujimura Group, with almost no connection to him. It was for this reason that it could fool the guardians of Fuyuki City, as well as the Matou and Tohsaka families. After sending Maiya a signal, Kiritsugu quickly treated himself and closed his eyes, intending to rest for a while to regain some strength before planning his next move. However... Riiippp. The sound of soundproof foam being torn apart, and Assassin, holding a blade, stepped into the safehouse, looking down at the man who had almost fooled him. "If not for my Master's reminder, you would have truly deceived me, modern assassin, Kiritsugu Emiya." Had he been found out? Kiritsugu's mouth twitched bitterly, his mind filled with both frustration and confusion. Who saw through his disguise? But at this moment, there was no time to ponder that. Before he could rise, Hundred-Faced Hassan had already raised her dagger and thrust it toward Kiritsugu's chest. "I won't kill you. Instead, I will offer you to my Master. Prepare yourself." Is this the end? Kiritsugu's pupils slightly widened. At that moment, he saw behind Assassin, a girl in a strange ceremonial dress, holding a blood-red spear. "Hello, nice to meet you." With a polite greeting, the spear transformed into a red flash and pierced through Assassin's heart. "Gáe Bolg: Piercing Scarlet Spear!" Clearly, this Assassin's actions were Kirei Kotomine's initiative, driven by his interest in Kiritsugu. The priest, with his wicked ways, was more than capable of doing such a thing. *** Hey readers!
