Chapter 136

【No matter what the other party did, he could find fault with it.】

【However, Kayneth's complaints were not without reason.】

【Diarmuid leaving his crippled Master behind to go duel with Artoria was indeed lacking in consideration.】

【"Da-da-da..."】

【Just then, a bullet suddenly landed at Kayneth's feet.】

【Kayneth, who had come to his senses, was covered in cold sweat and subconsciously looked back.】

【He saw that Emiya Kiritsugu had appeared not far behind him at some point, and Sola, covered in wounds, was also thrown aside, unconscious.】

【Emiya Kiritsugu pointed his gun at Sola with one hand and held the other to his lips to signal him not to speak; the threat was already very clear.】

【Although Kayneth was about to explode with anger, for the sake of his fiancée, he could only force himself to shut his mouth.】

【Emiya Kiritsugu then threw him a Self-Geis Scroll.】

【The content on it was already filled out; Kayneth just had to sign it.】

【"This is!"】

【Kayneth's pupils shrank as he looked at the contract requirements.】

【The contract was simple: Emiya Kiritsugu guaranteed that he would never harm Kayneth and Sola again, and in exchange, Kayneth had to use a Command Spell to make his Servant commit suicide and exit the stage.】

【And Emiya Kiritsugu's gun was still pressed against Sola's head.】

【This was not a negotiation, but a threat.】

Diarmuid: "Emiya Kiritsugu, you actually insult the duel of knights like this!"

Artoria: "Kiritsugu, you guy!"

Waver: "Too terrifying, this man; it seems I have to protect myself well."

Rin Tohsaka: "Me too."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "As expected of the notorious Mage Killer; I have finally witnessed your methods."

Hero King: "Hahaha, this is quite a good show."

【Under Emiya Kiritsugu's relentless pressure, Kayneth finally signed the contract.】

【Between the Holy Grail War and his fiancée, he chose his fiancée.】

【However, after signing the contract, Kayneth cried.】

【This once incredibly arrogant man was now expressionless, tears streaming down his face.】

【It was unknown whether he was crying for his failure or for his Servant.】

【With tears all over his face, Kayneth recited the order.】

【"I use my remaining Command Spell to order the Servant Diarmuid to commit suicide."】

【"Puchi!"】

【Diarmuid, who was fighting Artoria, suddenly subconsciously pierced his own Spirit Origin with his Red Rose, his expression blank.】

Waver: "The teacher, he actually cried..."

Conqueror King: "It seems he was hit pretty hard."

Kayneth: "..."

It's over, another dark history added.

【Diarmuid's act of stabbing himself not only left him stunned, but even Artoria, who was fighting him, and Irisviel, who was watching, were also stunned.】

【They, who didn't know what had happened, understood immediately after seeing Emiya Kiritsugu walk out of the building with Kayneth.】

【Emiya Kiritsugu had released Sola according to the agreement.】

【At this moment, Sola was held tightly in Kayneth's arms, not daring to let go.】

【And Kayneth was also acting like a madman, muttering the content of the contract over and over.】

【Everything that had just happened was too much of a blow to him.】

【His honor, his arrogance, his self-esteem, had all been shattered by Emiya Kiritsugu just now.】

【Kayneth was completely ruined.】

【"You bastards, do you want to win that much!"】

【Understanding what had happened, Diarmuid knelt on the ground, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his teeth gritted, looking incredibly ferocious, no longer the gentle and elegant person he was before.】

【"To use such despicable means to obtain the Holy Grail, even ruthlessly trampling on my only wish..."】

【Diarmuid's eyes were blood-red, staring fixedly at Artoria.】

【It was clear that he also regarded Artoria as Emiya Kiritsugu's accomplice.】

【He only felt that his sincere heart had been fed to the dogs.】

【Artoria wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start.】

【"I won't forgive you, I absolutely won't forgive you..."】

【"Lost souls mired in fame and fortune, tarnishing the glory of knights..."】

【"I curse you, my blood will also pollute your dreams!"】

【"I curse the Holy Grail, I curse that your wishes will bring great disaster!"】

【Accompanied by an unwilling roar, Diarmuid turned into ashes and exited the stage.】

Extra Feng Xi: "Too miserable; Lancer lost from beginning to end."

Kayneth: "..."

He wanted to refute, but was powerless to do so.

Because what Extra Feng Xi said was the truth.

In the video, he had been clashing with the Saber team from the start; except for the first time, when Diarmuid used his Noble Phantasm to ambush Artoria, he had suffered miserable defeats in the subsequent clashes.

It's no wonder that he in the video was hit so hard.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it either.

Waver: "However, regarding Diarmuid's curse, does everyone remember the video in the second quiz?"

Rin Tohsaka: "I remember, it was the one where Fuyuki City was swallowed by fire, right?"

Waver: "Looking at the situation at the time, the Holy Grail War in the video should have already ended; could it be..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Damn, Diarmuid's curse took effect!"

Diarmuid: "???"

Diarmuid, who was in a fit of anger, was also stunned now.

Is this thing really that magical?

Extra Feng Xi: "Puchi, this is indeed very magical."

Although the corruption of the Holy Grail had nothing to do with Diarmuid, those who didn't know the truth would probably really link these two things together.

One can only say that Diarmuid's mouth has been blessed.

Waver: "So Diarmuid also knows curse magic."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Could this be Diarmuid's hidden trump card?"

Hero King: "Even the Holy Grail can be cursed; this guy has some methods."

Conqueror King: "Indeed, I underestimated him."

First Emperor: "Hmm, I really didn't see it before."

Kayneth: "Diarmuid, you had this trick up your sleeve; I didn't even know."

Diarmuid: "My lord, please don't listen to their nonsense; I don't know any curse magic."

Diarmuid: "The version of me in the video was just venting his unwillingness before death."

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh my, since it's already exposed, don't try to cover it up anymore."

Ishtar: "That's right, covering it up now is just hypocrisy."

Diarmuid: "..."

Now it's truly a case of "yellow mud falling into the pants—if it's not shit, it's also shit."

【Emiya Kiritsugu smoked expressionlessly, not taking Diarmuid's curse to heart at all.】

【Video paused.】

【Question: Who will kill Kayneth and Sola later?】

Sola: "I, died..."

Kayneth: "I died too?"

Waver: "Ahem, teacher, you already knew you would die before the Holy Grail War."
