Kapitel 87: [87] The Battle of Two
"Are you... Emiya Kiritsugu?"
Emiya Kiritsugu heard the voice and immediately pointed his gun towards it. "Kurokawa Kazuya..."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to show up after such a long time, Mage Killer... Emiya Kiritsugu..." Kazuya looked at him, and a sudden thought crossed his mind. He wanted to find out if the person in front of him was truly the Mage Killer or just an ordinary assassin who had recently seen his manga.
"What do you know?" Emiya Kiritsugu said, aiming his gun at Kazuya. He didn't know if this person had any means of resistance, but he couldn't afford to lose confidence!
"..."
Kazuya didn't immediately answer. Instead, he squinted his eyes.
'Could it be... could it actually exist? It's been over a year... is it really here? It can't be... but I must witness it with my own eyes to confirm the existence of this mysterious world!'
Kazuya secretly thought to himself as he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu. "Emiya Kiritsugu, if you've come, then stay! Let me see what abilities you, as a Mage Killer, possess!"
"!"
In an instant, Emiya Kiritsugu, who felt something was amiss, moved to the side and pulled the trigger of his gun.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
A barrier had already been set up around, and all the houses in the vicinity belonged to Kazuya. The few remaining residents had been persuaded to leave using his suggestion Magecraft. Now, he could act without any worries.
However, the next moment, his pupils slightly contracted—
A barrier appeared in front of Kazuya! A golden barrier! Countless needle-like objects were connected together, blocking his attack.
"This is...Ripple?" Emiya Kiritsugu's face changed, and the door behind him "slammed" shut automatically amidst a golden spark.
"Yes..." Kazuya squinted his eyes slightly. He had just used the Ripple to close the door and block Emiya Kiritsugu's bullets. This had already been calculated by himself. However, it had been over a year since he had done this. He had gradually forgotten about some of the traps in this room during that time. But it was certain that these traps needed to be triggered using the Ripple!
"Phew... Emiya Kiritsugu, watch my Ripple Dash!" Kazuya deliberately shouted.
The Ripple surged from under his feet along the ground towards Emiya Kiritsugu— creating dazzling sparks. However, this attack was exceptionally fast. It was beyond the speed of an ordinary human and couldn't be avoided.
Come on, Emiya Kiritsugu, use your Magecraft... activate your Innate Time Control and let me confirm that this world is indeed a mysterious Type-Moon world!
Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth and indeed activated his Magecraft. This was a level of speed that couldn't be avoided without using Magecraft.
"Time Alter - Double Accel."
With his speed suddenly doubling, Emiya Kiritsugu managed to dodge the dazzling Ripple at an incredible speed.
"As expected... the Mage Killer!" Kazuya smiled.
At last, he could confirm...
This world was indeed the world of mystery, the world of Type-Moon—
Four years! Over four years! It had finally appeared, the world of mystery!
Emiya Kiritsugu remained calm for now, thinking about his chances of winning. If the person in front of him was merely a Ripple user, he wouldn't lose. No matter how strong the Ripple was, he wouldn't lose in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes; that was a fact.
But... he was afraid of other possibilities—
The Fate he had drawn was the Holy Grail War of the future. And by revealing the Ripple in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, he had shown his own Ripple. So, were there any other possibilities? Could this person be a vampire? A Pillar Man? Or maybe... an ultimate life being!
Or was he just a "Stand User" from the recently started Part Three of JoJo?
Although in that manga, vampires and Pillar Men couldn't use the Ripple, it wasn't certain that he wasn't misleading others. After all, he had never known about the existence of the Ripple in this world until he had seen his manga. If he hadn't made the connection, he wouldn't have believed in this unfamiliar power system appearing in reality!
But now it seemed—
The Ripple, vampires, Pillar Men, and ultimate life beings were very likely to have truly existed in this world and were part of real stories. He had drawn them down.
In that case, it could also explain why Kars, who had become an ultimate life being, had flown into outer space and couldn't return to Earth; it was probably because Counter Force!
So... what was this person in front of him?
The possibility of an ultimate life being was low, but not nonexistent. If it was indeed an ultimate life being, then the battle methods he had prepared would probably be ineffective, and he should prepare to escape.
If it were a Pillar Man or a vampire... it would be similar.
After all, there was sunlight in the room, and he was using the Ripple! If it were true, those weaknesses he had mentioned might be fabricated.
The easiest to deal with would be a Stand User.
Although Stand Users had a wide variety of abilities, he had only just scratched the surface, and he could only grasp a rough idea. However, even if it were a Stand User, their true body would still be an ordinary person, and they would get injured and die from bullets just like anyone else.
So, which one was it?
And so far, he hadn't revealed his "future sight" ability. Or maybe he had already used it?
To dodge his bullets?
"It's over—Ripple Cage!"
Sizzle, sizzle—
Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly froze in place, and a circle of Ripple formed around him, trapping him from both the ground and the ceiling!
Emiya Kiritsugu immediately threw a cylindrical object from his hand, which was directly shattered by the Ripple!
A large amount of gas dispersed from it!
"Poison gas?"
Kazuya's face slightly changed, and he immediately ran upstairs.
