Chapter 748.1: Choosing
Su Xiao began to tidy up his condition. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to get enough oxygen in his blood. If he missed this opportunity, he would have no choice but to enter the Einzbern family's castle and fight Saber head-on.
But there was still a stronger enemy waiting for him, so it wasn't wise to fight Saber head-on.
After Su Xiao adjusted his condition, he looked into the Spider Queen's scope.
The Apostle's Eye, made of rare metals, was already floating above the castle. Basically, the Eye of the Apostle consisted of the Lamere alloy. The strength of Lamere alloy wasn't great, even lower than that of hardened steel, but this alloy had high adaptability, it was like a chameleon, only it was metal. Yes, this alloy could fuse with most items. It was precisely because of this alloy that the eye was extremely difficult to detect, but because of its rarity, such an alloy was very difficult to obtain and extremely expensive.
*W-w-w-w~*
The Apostle's eye sent out a pulse and it almost instantly swept through the entire castle.
Su Xiao himself was currently connected to the Eye of the Apostle. After the eye emitted a pulse, the Einzbern family castle in his field of vision became translucent and dozens of red figures inside the castle appeared in his field of vision.
A red light flashed in the Apostle's Eye, and it quickly determined which red figure was Emiya Kiritsugu.
At the same time that the eye emitted waves, Saber, who was chatting with Iriswil von Einzbern on the first floor of the castle, tensed up, and her pupils immediately narrowed.
*Boom!*
Magic power surged out of Saber's body, and her battle armor appeared along with her battle skirt, and a long sword appeared in her hand.
— Saber? the beautiful young Iriswil, who had been calmly drinking black tea until now, was shocked as even her long silver hair flew up due to the sudden release of Saber's magic power.
Without another word, Saber picked up Irisville, and small cracks appeared on the marble floor under her feet. Immediately after that, Saber's figure disappeared as she rushed at high speed to the third floor of the castle, where her Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, was currently staying.
At that moment, Emiya Kiritsugu was talking to his assistant about something. Although Emiya Kiritsugu was a Master, his instincts weren't weak.
— Emiya Kiritsugu had been through many battles before, so he immediately sensed that someone was targeting him, and immediately rushed to the load-bearing wall at his side. The load-bearing walls were always and everywhere thicker than ordinary walls, but the load-bearing walls of their castle were specially treated, which made them very strong, they were more than ten times stronger than an ordinary cement wall plus they had high ballistic resistance.
When Emiya Kiritsugu was behind the load-bearing wall, his instincts not only stopped warning him of danger, but instead screamed even harder.
Emiya's assistant Kiritsugu wasn't an ordinary person. Becoming Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant in the Holy Grail War already spoke volumes about her strength, so she immediately grabbed the suitcase on the table. Inside the suitcase was a sniper rifle disassembled into three parts.
— I'm using the right command spell... Emiya Kiritsugu wanted to use a command spell to summon Saber to him, but it was too late.
His enemy wasn't going to give him a chance.
With a crash, concrete fragments fell to the floor, and a bucket-sized hole appeared in the load-bearing wall in front of Emiya Kiritsugu.
The bullet should have gone straight to Emiya Kiritsugu's head.
— Time change-triple acceleration, "Emiya Kiritsugu immediately used his strongest ability: "Innate Time Control". This ability was a time manipulation magic that the Emiya family had studied for generations.
The flow of blood in Emiya Kiritsugu's body accelerated, and the hemoglobin in his body began to burn up at a tremendous speed.
A 17.36 mm bullet flew right in front of Emiya Kiritsugu. It should have been an accurate shot, but Emiya Kiritsugu managed to turn sideways just before it was supposed to pierce through his head.
His simple movement left afterimages for a couple of seconds.
*Pouf*
A little blood fell to the floor, and the bullet tore through the floor near Emiya, flew on, and, breaking through another wall, flew out of the castle and left a small smoking hole in the ground.
*Drip-drip-drip-drip*
Blood dripped from Emiya Kiritsugu's cheek. Although he had used his innate time control and activated triple acceleration, he was only a Heroic Soul Master and didn't have the good body that many Servants often had.
One of Emiya Kiritsugu's cheeks below the ear disappeared, revealing his white teeth, and along with one of his cheeks, half of his lip disappeared as well.
The Spider Queen's bullet missed Emiya Kiritsugu's head, but she was able to "scratch" him. Even though it was only a small touch, he was still seriously injured. If this bullet had hit him directly in the head, he would have become a headless corpse.
The effect of the triple acceleration quickly disappeared, but before Emiya Kiritsugu could take a breath, the cement wall beside him exploded again.
The bullet tore through the cement wall next to him again and went straight for his leg.
At that moment, Emiya Kiritsugu's head became very dizzy. The shock of the first bullet had not yet passed and he wanted to use a command spell, but he didn't have time to say a word. Unfortunately, it took time to activate the command spell. The magic power that was contained in the command spells didn't belong to him. The command spells were like a gun. If one wanted to fire this gun, they needed to pull the trigger first, but, not to mention that they would be able to pull the trigger at the moment, they couldn't even touch this 'gun', so they could only use their own magic power to save your life.
