Martha was now covered in wounds. Leaning against a broken utility pole and clutching a bleeding wound on her shoulder, she looked with a smile at Jalter, who was walking toward her.
"So, the biggest cheaters are you guys!"
"Hahaha, lapdog of God, go to hell!"
Saying this, Jalter raised her Holy Sword and was about to thrust it into Martha's heart.
"Please wait!"
Then, accompanied by the voice, Kirei Kotomine instantly appeared before Martha, easily catching the sword Jalter thrust down with two fingers.
Facing the sudden appearance of Kirei Kotomine, the several Servants present simultaneously showed solemn expressions. Jalter forcefully pulled her sword back from Kirei Kotomine's hand, then retreated warily and slowly, forming a pincer formation with Black Saber and the Assassin to surround Kirei Kotomine.
Kirei Kotomine nodded to Jalter with a smile.
"Thank you."
Then he turned around and placed his hand on Martha's head. As a glow of magical energy lit up, Martha was restored to her original state.
Seeing Kirei Kotomine heal Martha, the Servants present unleashed their Noble Phantasms without hesitation.
"Roar! O My Fury!"
"EXcalibur!"
"Mystic Shredder!"
Facing the whistling Noble Phantasms, Kirei Kotomine still smiled. A halo appeared behind him, and then infinite light emanated from the halo, blocking the opposing Noble Phantasms.
"Everything ends tonight! Who agrees! Who objects!"
"I object! EXcalibur! (Roar! O My Fury!)" X2
How could Jalter and Black Saber be easily intimidated by some unknown fellow? With their nearly infinite magical energy, they unhesitatingly bombarded him with Noble Phantasms.
Raging fire, carrying endless black light, continuously collided with Kirei Kotomine's halo. After several Noble Phantasm collisions, cold sweat began to appear on Kirei Kotomine's temples.
It was at this moment that Caren arrived at the battlefield, out of breath and carrying Shirou Kotomine on her back.
Shinji Matou, who had been observing the outside world through Black Saber, finally saw the companion he had been longing for these past few days. Seeing Caren trembling, gasping for breath, and covered in scratches, Shinji Matou let out a startled cry.
"Caren, Shirou!"
Unfortunately, no one present could hear the call Shinji Matou made.
"Caren, Shirou! Let me do one last thing for you!"
Then, disregarding the pain of returning to 'hell', Shinji Matou resolutely returned his consciousness to his original body. Feeling severe pain and weakness, Shinji gritted his teeth and raised his arm, calling out to the command spells.
'By the power of... the command spells... Saber, help... Caren... Shirou! Ahhh!'
At this time, Zouken Matou's insects nearby also noticed something was wrong. Several insects quickly flew to Shinji's side and thrust their mouthparts deep into Shinji Matou's skull!
Feeling a part of his brain being crushed by the insects' mouthparts, Shinji Matou let out a final cry!
"Shirou! Caren! Live on with my share!"
As Shinji Matou's brain lobes were sliced and consumed by the insects' mouthparts, the light in Shinji Matou's eyes vanished forever.
Black Saber, who was continuously firing off her Noble Phantasm, suddenly stiffened. She aimed the demonic sword in her hand at Jalter and swung it with a roar.
Jalter was startled and dodged Black Saber's Noble Phantasm in a disheveled manner, shouting angrily at Black Saber.
"What are you doing!"
Black Saber, looking furious, swung her demonic sword and continuously fired off light beams at Jalter and the Assassin, spitting out two words through gritted teeth.
"command spells!"
Kirei Kotomine and Martha looked at each other and simultaneously moved to Caren's side. Kirei Kotomine took the Shirou on Caren's back, while Martha picked up Caren, and they quickly retreated from the battlefield.
Not long after, Meilian Solomon, who had arrived in a hurry with reinforcements, looked in surprise at Fujimura Taiga, who was being held by Litz and scratching about.
"This is the target? Didn't you say it was a pair of teenagers?"
Fujimura Taiga, who had been forgotten in the old mansion, was already feeling depressed. Hearing Meilian Solomon's words, she shouted angrily.
"Ah! You guy, open your eyes and take a good look! Am I not a young girl?"
Meilian Solomon walked up to Fujimura Taiga, who was being held in the air, reached out to pinch her face, and then shook his head.
"Tsk! You're older than my grandmother!"
"Aaaaaah! Let me down, I want to duel him!"
Meilian Solomon ignored Fujimura Taiga, who was constantly making a fuss in Litz's hands. After getting a sense of the situation from the people around him, he went to Litz's side and tapped a finger on Fujimura Taiga's head to hypnotize her.
"Litz, what should we do with this one?"
Litz grinned at Meilian Solomon, who was quite interested in Fujimura Taiga, and tossed her into Meilian Solomon's arms with a throw.
"You take her! This person should be a friend or teacher of the target, but their relationship probably isn't great, otherwise she wouldn't have been forgotten. She's useless anyway, take her and play with her!"
Meilian Solomon looked at Fujimura Taiga in his arms and reached out to pinch her face again.
"Tsk! Truly older than my grandmother!"
The group that escaped from the battlefield had now rushed to the Tohsaka Annex without stopping.
And just as they arrived at the annex, the effect of Kirei Kotomine's potion wore off. Instantly, a large number of cracks appeared on Kirei Kotomine's body, and blood gushed out like a burst water pipe.
"Tsk! How tragic."
Rin had known of their arrival long before they entered the courtyard. She was now standing at the entrance of the western-style building, shaking her head as she looked at Kirei Kotomine, who had turned into a bloody mess.
At this moment, Caren, who was covered in Kirei Kotomine's blood, acted as if she had caught a lifeline. She quickly ran to Rin and knelt down, pleading.
"Sister Rin, please save Father, save Shirou!"
Rin picked her ear and gave Martha an unhappy look before turning to open the door.
"Carry them and follow me."
Then Martha carried the dying Kirei Kotomine, and Caren carried the constantly twitching Shirou Kotomine on her back, following Rin to the basement. At Rin's signal, Martha placed Kirei Kotomine in the center of the magic circle on the floor.
Rin then flipped a switch on the wall. After a while, the magic circle on the floor was activated, and a temple enveloped Kirei Kotomine within.
"It seems Kirei used the blank spirit origin he stole from me! Heh, I told him long ago that the consequences of an incompatible person using it are unknown. It seems he forced its use and ruined his own body."
Then Rin walked up to Caren and asked.
"Can you explain why you are this Servant's Master!"
Facing Rin's questioning, Caren lowered her head in embarrassment. Her mind was in a mess, and she had no idea how to explain it to Rin, so she could only keep saying.
"I'm sorry!"
Rin looked at Caren and shook her head helplessly. She patted Caren's shoulder and then walked over to Shirou Kotomine, who was lying on the ground twitching.
She then enhanced her eyes with magical energy. Looking at the familiar magical energy emanating from Shirou Kotomine on the ground, she spoke to Caren.
"I was wondering why it felt so familiar. Tsk! So Shirou has been eroded by all the worlds evils!"
