Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 752: After revision: Chapter 62: Everything Is Connected

Su Xiao began to adjust his state, first closing his eyes and taking deep breaths to ensure that the oxygen content in his blood was sufficient. If he missed the opportunity now, he would have to storm into the Einzbern Family Castle and face Saber head-on.

There were stronger enemies waiting for Su Xiao; engaging Saber in a direct fight now was unwise.

Su Xiao moved his head to the Spider Queen’s scope; he was already in his adjusted state.

Above the castle, the Eye of the Apostle, entirely made of rare metal, floated up. The main material of the Eye of the Apostle was Ramiel Alloy. Its strength wasn’t exceptional, even less than refined steel, but it had strong adaptability. Like a chameleon among metals, it could blend with the aura of most objects. Because of this, discovering and mining Ramiel Metal was extremely difficult, which also made it extraordinarily expensive.

Buzz～

The Eye of the Apostle emitted a pulse that swept across the entire castle almost instantly.

Su Xiao’s spiritual power was already linked with the Eye of the Apostle. After it released the pulse, the Einzbern Family Castle in his vision became semi-transparent, with dozens of red silhouettes inside the castle.

Beep. Beep, beep...

Red light flickered on the Eye of the Apostle, quickly locating which red silhouette was Emiya Kiritsugu.

As the Eye of the Apostle released its wave, on the first floor of the castle, Saber, who was chatting idly with the substitute Master Alice Phil, tensed her body, her pupils slowly shrinking.

Boom!

Magic power surged wildly on Saber’s body, manifesting a set of battle armor + battle skirt, the Invisible Long Sword ’Sword of Promised Victory’ appeared in her hand. Her blonde hair fluttered, exuding heroic spirit.

”Saber?”

The beautiful woman Alice Phil, who was drinking black tea, was stunned. Her silver hair was blown up due to the outburst of Saber’s magic power.

Without a word, Saber picked up Alice Phil. The marble floor beneath her feet showed fine cracks. With a flash, she dashed towards the third floor of the castle, where her Master Emiya Kiritsugu was located.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu was discussing something with his female assistant. Although Emiya Kiritsugu was a Master, his combat intuition was not weak.

”Something’s wrong.”

Having experienced modern battlefields, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately perceived that a sniper had already targeted him. He immediately lunged towards the direction of a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing wall was thicker than ordinary walls; its concrete had undergone shock processing, making its solidity more than a dozen times that of regular walls, boasting strong bulletproof capabilities.

After Emiya Kiritsugu dove to the load-bearing wall, the feeling of being locked on not only did not disappear but grew even stronger.

Emiya Kiritsugu’s female assistant was also no ordinary person. Being his assistant in the Holy Grail War showed her capabilities, so she immediately grabbed the briefcase on the table, which contained a sniper rifle disassembled into three parts.

”I command by the power of the command seal...”

Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to use a command seal to forcibly summon Saber, but it was too late; the enemy simply did not give him the chance.

With a cracking sound, concrete debris splattered, and a bucket-sized hole exploded on the load-bearing wall in front of Emiya Kiritsugu. An exaggeratedly large bullet shot straight toward his head.

”Innate Time Control - Triple Speed.”

Emiya Kiritsugu immediately used his strongest ability, Innate Time Control, a magic concerning time manipulation explored by the Emiya Clan for generations.

Emiya Kiritsugu’s blood flow speed increased, and the hemoglobin in his body burned rapidly.

A 17.36mm caliber sniper bullet flew in front of Emiya Kiritsugu. This should have been a sure-hit shot, but Emiya Kiritsugu twisted his body with all his might, moving so fast that an afterimage appeared. This was not the speed of his flesh but the power of time.

Pfft.

Blood splattered. The 17.36mm caliber bullet pierced through the ground behind Emiya Kiritsugu, shot out the outer wall on the other side of the castle, and ultimately buried itself in the mountain rock behind, leaving a bullet hole emitting blue smoke.

Drip, drip, blood dripped from Emiya Kiritsugu’s cheek. Although he used Innate Time Control - Triple Speed, he was merely a Heroic Spirit Master, without the physical attributes as strong as a Heroic Spirit.

The cheek position under Emiya Kiritsugu’s ear was gone, revealing white teeth. Half of a lip was blown away.

Emiya Kiritsugu wasn’t directly hit by the Spider Queen’s bullet; he was merely grazed by it. Even so, he was not lightly injured. If the bullet had hit his head, he would already be a headless corpse.

The effect of Innate Time Control - Triple Speed vanished. Before Emiya Kiritsugu could catch a break, the concrete wall in front of him exploded again, and a bullet shot through it toward him.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu’s mind was in a daze, a result of enduring the shock from the first bullet. He wanted to use the command seal, but unfortunately, using it required time. The power of the command seal was not his own magic power; the command seal was like a ’gun’. To fire, the trigger needed to be pulled, but now, he couldn’t even touch the ’gun’, let alone pull the trigger. He could only use his magic power to save his life first.

”Innate Time Control - Quadruple Speed.”

Emiya Kiritsugu disregarded the overdraft on his body. His survival under the sniper of an unknown enemy was uncertain, let alone the overdraft on his body.

Emiya Kiritsugu’s personal time flow sped up; the second bullet aiming at his calf. He immediately lifted it, intending to dodge the bullet.

The 17.36mm caliber bullet flew in front of Emiya Kiritsugu. Its tail fins unfurled, and its speed abruptly decreased. This puzzled Emiya Kiritsugu and made his skin crawl.

Clang!

The bullet suddenly exploded, releasing a piercing sound wave. When Emiya Kiritsugu’s body contacted the sound wave, his body’s water molecules became the best sound transmission medium.

A buzzing sounded in Emiya Kiritsugu’s ears, his mind spun, and everything in his vision doubled.

At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu still maintained Innate Time Control - Quadruple Speed. In his vision, a third hole appeared on the load-bearing wall in front of him, and a bullet covered with patterns shot towards his face.

Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to rely on Innate Time Control - Quadruple Speed to dodge the bullet, but his entire body felt as heavy as lead. This was the effect of the second special ammo - shock bomb.

Bam! The door of the room where Emiya Kiritsugu was located was shattered. Wood chips flew, and carrying Alice from Einzbern, Saber felt a warm liquid splatter on her face, followed by a thick smell of blood.

Thud, a body with its upper half broken fell to the ground. The area around the body was splattered with blood and organ fragments.

Warm bits of flesh slid down the cheek of the beautiful woman Alice Phil and fell with a splat.

Whoosh～

Another bullet flew in, still shooting through walls.

With a crack, the lower half of Emiya Kiritsugu’s body was shattered. This was the destructive effect caused by the Spider Queen, both bloody and possessing a kind of brutal beauty.

The female assistant stared blankly at the carnage in the room. The assembled sniper rifle slipped from her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks.

In the room filled with the suffocating smell of blood, there was a deathly silence. The beautiful woman’s mouth was agape, eyes wide open in disbelief.

”Ah!!”

Alice Phil let out a scream of disbelief at the scene before her.

Saber lowered her head as the magic power from her Master was cut off. Although there was the substitute Master Alice Phil, she was not one of the seven Masters. The legitimate Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, was dead. Saber wouldn’t last long before dissipating.

”Is it over just like this?”

Saber gripped tightly her Sword of Promised Victory, turning her head to gaze in the direction from which the bullet had been fired.

At this moment, her intuition warned her of an impending event. In 0.5 seconds, a bullet would pierce the glass window and shatter Alice Phil beside her.

Saber swung her Sword of Promised Victory, slicing an oncoming bullet in half. The halved bullet vanished into the ground.

Boom!

The collision of bullet and sword resulted in a sonic boom, and Saber skidded back as her palms trembled slightly.

”Shameless!”

Saber’s emerald eyes were full of helplessness. The enemy’s intention was obvious; if she chose to pursue, Alice Phil would die.

”Saber, don’t worry about me. Find out where the enemy is, go quick!”

Tears filled Alice Phil’s eyes as she emotionally unraveled.

”...”

Saber silently stood before Alice Phil.

”Go avenge Kiritsugu...”

”I’m sorry, I can’t. I cannot watch you die. You are my Master’s wife.”

Upon hearing Saber’s words, Alice Phil knelt and sobbed. Assassination was a common tactic for Emiya Kiritsugu, but today, he fell at the hands of a stronger sniper.
