Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 47 The Cicada Praying Mantis
Except for Ryunosuke Yusheng, a lunatic who entered into chaos, none of the other masters are fools.

They either "hidden in the city" like Weber, hiding in inconspicuous houses, and using the high mobility of the Rider tank to carry out operations, or they built workshops like Shinji, making their stronghold as solid as possible.

A noble "lord" like Kenneth undoubtedly belongs to the latter.Although he has not been in Fuyuki City for a long time, he has completely remodeled the entire Hyatt Hotel.

This kind of transformation is not material, but refers to the strengthening of magic. In Kenneth's own words——

"The 24th floor of the enchantment, three magic furnaces, the evil spirits used to replace the hounds, dozens of ghosts and monsters, countless traps, even the underground waterways are not missing, and part of the corridor has turned into another world. That is to say , each other can compete with each other to their heart's content, without worrying about affecting the outside world, let our guests take a good tour of my magic studio, Kenneth Elmeloy."

From a distance of hundreds of meters, Shen Er could clearly capture the complacency on Kenneth's face, one can imagine how confident he is in his workshop.

According to Scathach's investigations over the past few days, the defense capability of Kenneth's workshop is only inferior to that of the Matou family, which was fully strengthened by the original runes, and the workshop similar to its own extension built by Caster with job skills, which is comparable to that of Tosaka Tokiomi. Compared with the proud ancestral workshop - magic alone.

Yes, only discuss the magic defense, do not consider other.

The vast majority of magicians in the world will subconsciously ignore or even despise technology. In their eyes, occultism and magic are paramount. As for science, it is just the struggle of ordinary people without talent, which is not worth mentioning.

As a representative of traditional magicians, Kenneth also thinks so, and takes it for granted that all magicians have the same views as him.He has never considered purely physical defense, let alone the possibility of being attacked by ordinary people.

So, he is tragic.

Before the pride on his face receded, he felt a violent shaking, as if the world was spinning.

Soon, the loud noise of reinforced concrete collapsing echoed in the night sky, rendering an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

The hotel has collapsed!

The high-rise hotel with a total height of more than 150 meters, maintaining an upright posture, collapsed as if being sucked in by the ground.Because all the outer walls collapsed inward, not a single piece of debris burst out, only the dust from the collapse obliterated the surrounding streets.

This is a very clever blasting technique - directional blasting, an advanced blasting technique mainly used to destroy large high-rise buildings.Due to the damage to the load-bearing walls and key pillars, the building is pressed inward due to its own weight.Use the least amount of explosives to achieve complete destruction.

"I didn't hear the sound of the explosion, and the impact on the surroundings was minimized. It's simply art."

Shen Er put down the binoculars, without the slightest false admiration.

"It is said that Emiya Kiritsugu is proficient in all blasting techniques, both ancient and modern. He is a well-deserved master of blasting. Seeing him today really lives up to his reputation. He has truly achieved 'art is explosion'."

Although he didn't meet the real person, Shinji can be sure that the director of this drama is none other than Emiya Kiritsugu.

As the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will still be afraid of kitchen knives.Who competed with you in magic tricks, did not enter the studio and directly dismantled it from the outside, what do you do?
Shinji dare not forget the family motto of the flower planter, and also acts according to the principle of the magician killer Emiya Kiritsugu who only cares about efficiency in everything, and it is even worse than the former.

If Shinji were to attack, he would only destroy a few floors at most, while Emiya Kiritsugu directly blew up the skyscraper.

All the buildings in this Fuyuki City that served as bases for magicians were recorded on Emiya Kiritsugu's destruction list, and the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel was one of them.Kiritsugu obtained the blueprint of the building in advance, and found the explosion point of the bomb in it.As long as you are fully prepared, the actual operation will not even take an hour.

According to Emiya Kiritsugu's judgment, the 32nd floor where Kenneth was located lost its support due to the chain reaction caused by the directional blasting, and in the end it was equivalent to a free fall from a height of 150 meters to the ground.No matter how strong the magic barrier defense is, it cannot protect the people indoors from such a powerful destructive force.

Emiya Kiritsugu was like a praying mantis that had been planning for a long time, hunting everywhere, and Kenneth was the cicada that he was eyeing.

In order to ensure the death of "Cicada", Emiya Kiritsugu also specially arranged for his assistant Hisu Maiya to snipe at fixed points. Once Kenneth uses magic to escape from the 32nd floor, Hisu Maiya will snipe immediately.

And the place chosen by Hisau Maiya as the sniping location is the observation deck on the 38th floor of the Fuyuki Center Building under Shinji's feet.

Relying on the invisibility performance of the "Hades Invisibility Cloak" close to the power level, Shinji successfully sneaked into the 40th floor from the 38th floor. At this time, Hisau Maiya was reporting to Emiya Kiritsugu through the headset.

"The target did not move until the end, and did not escape outside the hotel."

Although she had just witnessed a devastating destruction, there was no trace of excitement in her voice.

At this time, the Hyatt Hotel has completely collapsed, which means that Hisu Maiya's surveillance mission has come to an end. Take out the bullets from the gun that ended the mission before getting the chance to play, put it in the suitcase, and put the sniper rifle back Stand up on your back and walk down the stairs.

Suddenly, she noticed something unusual.

It's not a general abnormality, but a more ambiguous change in the atmosphere.

Whether it is a long-war soldier like Maiya Hisau, or Shinji who is not what he used to be, he can clearly feel the change in the air.

This is—killing intent!
"—you have a keen sense, miss."

Behind Maiya who stopped, came a deep and stern male voice.The sound echoed in the empty reinforced concrete building, making it impossible to judge its origin.

Maiya didn't answer or ask any questions, just calmly, using her keen intuition to find the location of the other party, and pulled out the 9mm caliber pistol at her waist - at this time and place, as long as it's not Emiya Kiritsugu, He is an enemy, and there is no need to show mercy.

"—Hmph, it's good to have such an awareness."

The man hiding in the dark said as if mocking, and slowly walked out from behind the pillar where he was hiding, exposing himself to Maiya's sight and gunpoint.

The man in front of him was wearing a black monastic uniform, exuding an inexplicable sense of majesty and oppression.
