Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1295: Almost Almighty Person
The magic seal made of seal worms is dormant on weekdays, as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

However, once Matou Zouken needs to activate them, these engraved worms will wake up immediately, like an activated mechanism, quickly invading the host's nervous system, using the host's vitality as the source of magic power, constantly drawing and consuming it until it is completely drained.

What's even more terrifying is that when the magic power in the host's body is completely devoured, these greedy insects will not stop there. They will instead begin to corrode the host's body, feeding on flesh and blood to maintain their own existence and activities.

It is through this extreme parasitic method that Matou Zouken is able to exercise absolute control over the host, and neither the body nor the mind can escape his control.

And when the host tries to go against the will of Matou Zouken, the marking worms hidden in the body will be activated instantly like a triggered trap, and will cruelly punish the host. It is an erosion from the inside out, and the pain is so severe that it is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

At this moment, Matou Kariya was experiencing such torture.

His eyes were wide open, his pupils filled with fear and helplessness. Sweat and tears mixed together, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the wet ground, making a subtle and crisp sound.

His body kept twitching, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain, as if there were thousands of sharp blades moving inside his body, cutting every inch of his skin and every bone.

"Cooperate with me now, and I will forgive your ignorance and offense, Luther."

Matou Zouken's voice echoed in the dark room. He seemed to have seen the dawn of victory and was waiting for the other party to surrender with a smile.

"don't want……"

Matou Kariya would rather die than surrender, and said to Luther.

"I'm sorry, but you probably underestimated my magic costume."

Luther said confidently.

"What do you mean?"

There was confusion and astonishment in Matou Zouken's voice.

He couldn't understand. Those engraved bugs were monsters he had carefully cultivated. They were closely connected to Matou Kariya's life. How could they be easily eliminated?
Could it be that the so-called magic dress really possesses such magical power?

How is it possible to have such a magic costume?
"open mouth."

Luther said to Matou Kariya.

Although Matou Kariya was puzzled, he still did as he was told and tried to open his mouth wide. Then Luther aimed the insecticide gift suit at his mouth. In an instant, the insecticide liquid, like that sprayed from a high-pressure water gun, rushed in with a pungent but strange aroma, filling Matou Kariya's mouth.

"Well--!!!"

Matou Kariya's body trembled violently, as if his throat was strangled by an invisible force. He coughed violently, his eyes wide open, as if he was about to suffocate.

However, in this struggle on the brink of life and death, he unexpectedly discovered that the pain of being bitten by the engraving worms in his body was gradually subsiding, as if a warm force was spreading in his body, destroying those evil monsters one by one.

"How is this going?"

Matou Kariya and Matou Zōken exclaimed almost at the same time.

Matou Zouken's face changed drastically. He clearly felt that his connection with the engraved worm in Matou Kariya's body was disappearing rapidly, as if an invisible bond was suddenly severed.

After a brief moment of shock, Matou Kariya quickly reacted and began to swallow the liquid actively. The gurgling sound echoed in the room, and the pain in his body completely disappeared. It was an unprecedented sense of relief, as if he was pulled back from the edge of hell and regained freedom and peace.

"Bugs Must Die. This is a limited-edition special weapon that kills bugs and their familiars. So, conversely, its toxicity is completely harmless to humans. And because it focuses on special attacks against bugs, it has absolute control over bugs at the expense of its lethality against other creatures."

Luther said lightly.

"How can there be such an incredible magic costume?"

There was confusion and puzzlement in Matou Zouken's voice, and his eyes were flashing with disbelief, as if the scene before him was beyond the scope of all he had learned and known in his life.

He couldn't understand why someone would go to such great lengths to create such a unique and complex magic costume.

"Are you crazy? Or are you squandering your talent and resources in another way?"

There was a hint of contempt in Matou Zouken's tone, but more of it was confusion and questioning.

"What is the deep meaning of this magic costume? Your hatred for insects has reached such a level that you need to vent it in this way?"

Hearing this, Luther curled up the corners of his mouth into a faint smile, a smile that showed he was confident and at ease.

"Oh, you're wrong. My pursuit of special attacks and restraints goes far beyond this. In fact, I have an almost obsessive love for the idea of ​​'specific targets must be eliminated'. For example, I own magic costumes for humans, vampires, dragons, undead, and even primates, and each one is a work of art that I carefully crafted."

Humans must die, elves must die, and so on.

Upon hearing this, Matou Zouken frowned, and he vaguely caught the hidden meaning in Luther's words.

"So, you're not a Servant, right?"

Luther shrugged slightly, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

"I have never called myself a servant. That is just a label you imposed on me."

His tone was relaxed and confident, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Impossible! How on earth do you manage to possess so many highly targeted restraining costumes?"

Matou Zouken's voice was filled with disbelief and an urgent desire for knowledge.

He couldn't understand how a seemingly ordinary magician could master so many powerful magic tricks. This simply went against the common sense and rules of the magic world.

Luther smiled slightly, with wisdom glittering in his eyes.

"It's actually very simple, because I am one of the five elementalists. The characteristics of my magic include change, enhancement and projection, which means that I can change and reshape any magic that meets these characteristics according to my will."

In the magic world, the word "characteristic" means adding a certain meaning or function to the five elements of magic, thereby broadening its scope of application and effectiveness.

Take "strengthening" as an example. When this characteristic is given to the five elements of fire magic, the flame will burn more fiercely; and when it is given to the five elements of water magic, the amount of water will increase sharply and the water flow will become more turbulent.
