Chapter 153

However, Kayneth's Volumen Hydrargyrum wasn't just for show.

Even if the Heroic Spirit Emiya's speed was increased several times, the Volumen Hydrargyrum still quickly protected Kayneth and the others.

But the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who knew the roots and bottom, didn't choose close combat, but took out a single-shot pistol.

Needless to say, what was in the pistol was an Origin Bullet.

Emiya Kiritsugu's trump card, the Heroic Spirit Emiya naturally had it too.

"BOOM!"

The Origin Bullet pierced through the Volumen Hydrargyrum like a hot knife through butter, hitting Kayneth squarely in the chest.

But something that surprised the Heroic Spirit Emiya happened.

'Kayneth's' body rippled like a water surface, then turned into a paper doll and fell to the ground.

The 'Sola-Ui' on the side was in the same situation.

"Fell for it! It's a dummy!"

Seeing this, the Heroic Spirit Emiya immediately thought, "Not good."

He had fallen into a trap.

"'Stone Sentinel Maze'!"

Just then, Waver (Second), who had been a background character, finally made a move.

"BOOM!"

The Heroic Spirit Emiya found that the surrounding environment had changed; he had been transferred to a red pavilion.

Above his head was a flat Bagua roof, and there were eight pillars around, just like a cage.

Outside the pavilion was endless darkness; he couldn't see anything.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya walked out of the pavilion from the left, only to return from the right.

He was trapped here.

"This is the ultimate position of the Great Strategist; try to break it if you can."

Outside, Waver (Second) smoked leisurely.

This is a Noble Phantasm born from the Bagua formation carefully studied by Zhuge Liang, capable of trapping opponents in a maze.

Furthermore, this formation is also aggressive.

It will constantly harm the person trapped inside.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya was already a turtle in a jar.

Waver (Second) didn't think the Heroic Spirit Emiya could crack this formation.

As for Kayneth and the others, they hadn't come from the beginning.

Knowing Emiya Kiritsugu is unscrupulous, it's better for Masters not to be easily exposed.

Waver (Second) specifically used the Daoist substitution technique to create dummies of Kayneth and Sola-Ui, and transferred their consciousness into the dummies.

This way, as long as you don't look closely, they are no different from the real people.

Of course, the drawbacks of this technique are also very obvious.

Once the main body encounters any disturbance, the consciousness will return.

This is also for the safety of the main body.

Waver (Second)'s plan was also a gamble, deliberately not leaving Servants to guard, to prevent Emiya Kiritsugu from seeing through the clues.

However, before leaving, he had also set up defensive magic to protect Kayneth and the others' bodies.

Everything was exactly as Waver (Second) had planned; the opponent fell for it.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu didn't appear, catching the Heroic Spirit Emiya wasn't a loss.

This Heroic Spirit-like Emiya Kiritsugu is, in a sense, more dangerous than Emiya Kiritsugu himself.

Solve this guy first, and cut off one of Emiya Kiritsugu's arms.

"Crack, BOOM!!!"

Just then, the pavilion trapping the Heroic Spirit Emiya suddenly exploded.

The Stone Sentinel Maze was forcibly broken.

"Phew, succeeded..."

The Heroic Spirit Emiya, having escaped, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it couldn't be cracked, just destroy it directly.

"What did you do?"

Waver (Second) frowned deeply at this.

Directly destroying the Stone Sentinel Maze—the Heroic Spirit Emiya shouldn't have such a powerful Noble Phantasm.

Actually, this can also be considered Waver (Second)'s miscalculation.

Emiya Kiritsugu has the title of "Magus Killer," and after becoming a Heroic Spirit, he naturally inherited this characteristic.

His inherent skill "Magic" allows him to make various favorable judgments when fighting Caster.

The Noble Phantasm "Mystic Slayer" is a knife that injects the dual attributes of "cutting" and "combining," which are his own origins, causing fatal damage to anything related to magic.

Coupled with the "Favor of the Holy Grail," he quickly found the core of the Stone Sentinel Maze and destroyed it with one knife.

It can be said that Waver (Second) suffered a loss this time for not understanding his opponent.
