Chapter 78

However, Kayneth's Volumen Hydrargyrum was no pushover.

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 ins and outs, didn't choose close combat, but took out a single-shot pistol.

Needless to say what was in the pistol; it 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.

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

The 'Sola' on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse 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 (II), who had been a background character, finally made his 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 Bagua flat 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 (II) smoked leisurely.

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

Moreover, 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 (II) didn't think the Heroic Spirit Emiya could crack this formation.

As for Kayneth and the others, they never came in the first place.

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

Waver (II) specifically used the Middle Kingdom's substitution technique to create dummies of Kayneth and Sola, 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 (II)'s plan was also a gamble, deliberately not leaving Servants to guard, to prevent Emiya Kiritsugu from seeing through the ruse.

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

Everything was exactly as Waver (II) 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.

Deal with this guy first, 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 let out a sigh of relief.

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

"What did you do?"

Waver (II) frowned tightly at this.

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

Actually, this can also be considered Waver (II)'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 Breaker" is a knife injected with the dual attributes of "cutting" and "binding," which are his own origins, and can cause 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 slash.

It can be said that Waver (II) suffered from not knowing his opponent this time.

"Found you."

Meanwhile, on the roof of a tall building in the distance.

Emiya Kiritsugu's scope was already aimed at Waver.

Although he didn't know if Waver was also a dummy, he wouldn't let such a good opportunity go.

"BOOM!!!"

A flash of fire at the muzzle, and the sniper bullet shot toward Waver's head.

"Ding..."

Suddenly, silver liquid surged around Waver, directly blocking the sniper bullet.

It was the Volumen Hydrargyrum.

Seeing this scene, Emiya Kiritsugu was a bit puzzled.

How does Waver also have Volumen Hydrargyrum? Did Kayneth make many copies?

"So dangerous."

Waver looked at the bullet on the ground, still shaken.

The Volumen Hydrargyrum around him condensed together, turning into a mercury maid puppet.

That's right, this Volumen Hydrargyrum is not Kayneth's, but an automatic doll endowed with self-personality by Waver (II) in the future.

This was something Waver opened from the gold chest he got from the previous Q&A.

This doll scared Waver when she first came out.

For no other reason than that she claimed to be the Terminator T-1000 who traveled back from the future.

It wasn't until Waver (II) was summoned that this misunderstanding was cleared up.

"Neigh..."

Emiya Kiritsugu made his move, and Brynhildr also locked onto his position, immediately attacking him.

Emiya Kiritsugu naturally ran away immediately.

He originally wanted to fire another shot, but thought better of it and gave up.

With that mercury maid there, his bullets were useless unless he used the Origin Bullet.

But the Origin Bullet wasn't omnipotent and couldn't be used as a sniper bullet at all.

Returning to the battlefield Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.

Brynhildr went to hunt down Emiya Kiritsugu, which instead greatly reduced the pressure on the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Relying on his flexible movements, he constantly avoided the attacks of Diarmuid and Waver (II).

"Command Spell, kill him for me immediately."

And Kayneth, having received the message, directly used a Command Spell to enhance Diarmuid's strength.

He was determined to kill the Heroic Spirit Emiya today.

Although the dummy he was in was shot before, it was no different from being shot himself; it's just that his real body wasn't injured.

Clearly prepared, yet still hit, making Kayneth even more furious.
