The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 111 Chase and Escape

With Paracelsus's level of magic, his advantage in preparing for a sneak attack on Zouken Matou was overwhelming.

After all the insects protecting Zouken Matou were killed, five artificial spirits shot beams of light through Zouken Matou's body, fixing him there.

Binding Way Sixty-One - Six light prisons, oh no, it’s five light prisons, so funny.

"Haha..." On the one hand, Dak chuckled twice because he thought of something interesting. On the other hand, he was looking forward to the rewards he would get after killing the old bug.

If the plan goes as planned, he will be able to gain enough power soon. Dak is very confident in himself in this regard.

His hard work in studying has not been in vain, but is a real accumulation of foundation.

"Are you going to show up?" Paracelsus asked. Everything was under control. All that was left was to proceed according to the plan.

If it was the young Machirizolgen, it would be hard to say whether he could break free, but looking at the current Matou Zouken... Paracelsus could judge that he was much weaker now than before.

"Wait a little longer, grandpa should have other bugs that he hasn't used yet. No matter if they are the bugs that make up his body or the imprinted bugs in my uncle's body." Dak felt that he needed to continue hiding. He had plenty of time anyway... He just needed enough time to transform his foundation.

And with the help of Paracelsus, isn't it like a flying dragon riding on the face to defeat Matou Zouken?
Tell me how to lose!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
“Hahaha, ah! Hahahaha, woooooo.

Everything is coming to an end, unknown magician!
Please accept my last request.

There are two innocent children in this Matou family.

Please, please let them go." Crying and laughing, Matou Kariya looked like a demon. Knowing his own condition, he no longer had the will to live.

Asking Matou Zouken to bury a Sealing Worm in his body is in itself an act of seeking death, as the Sealing Worm converts magic power at the cost of flesh and blood.

Matou Kariya's body is now a bug nest, an empty shell that supports the insects' activities.

But... until the very end, he wanted to rescue the two children - even though he didn't like Matou Shinji.

Some people may think that Matou Kariya is not up to standard... but he is actually very good.

"What nonsense are you talking about!!

Kariya, your stupidity is beyond my imagination.

Shinji aside, irrelevant people without magical talent might indeed be let off.

But what about Sakura?

Your rejection of the magic of the Matou family has resulted in you being completely ignorant of the common sense of a magician.

When it comes to offspring, I am indeed very envious of the head of the Toosaka family. Sakura's qualification is the imaginary attribute of fictional elements, which is a rare qualification equivalent to a miracle.

This has gone beyond the scope of so-called natural talent and is almost equivalent to a spell, and the Tohsaka family actually has two such descendants.

Demonic nature will attract demonic nature.

Those who stand out from the crowd and go beyond the norm will inevitably "attract" equally unusual experiences.

So what would happen if Sakura, who is currently at the level of an ordinary person, was acquired by another magician?

Not surprisingly, he became a magician's experimental subject and was soaked in formalin forever!
This is all due to your ignorance! Kariya

You went against my will and ended up in this situation, Kariya!
Resist! Kariya!" There was no deception, and what Matou Zouken said did contain some elements of provocation, but it was also all true.

On the surface, Matou Zouken has lost the ability to resist, so he plans to provoke Matou Kariya to resist.

His pupils contracted in an instant. The ignorant Matou Kariya had never had a clear understanding of Matou Sakura's condition.

He simply didn't want to see Sakura being tortured.

At this point he had made many associations and did not suspect that Matou Zouken was cheating, because in his opinion Matou Zouken had never cheated on him - in this respect, judging from the mainstream moral standards of magicians, the old bug was really nice to him.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Matou Kariya screamed miserably. He did not dare to have any hope of luck and completely gave up his own life, giving everything as a sacrifice to the engraving worm in his body.

Convert one's own flesh and blood into magic power to drive magic.

Bumps began to wriggle on the surface of the body, and even blood was oozing out. The driven demon insects appeared on the ground again.

"Yes, Kariya, only with my help can Sakura survive." Matou Zouken said, while secretly thinking about how to escape from danger. With Matou Kariya's active cooperation, things can be done...

“Attack the sphere on the wall, Kariya,” said Matou Zouken.

Does this seem to be a bit of an impression? It seems that... this magic item can only perform one type of magic at a time?
There is no information about this in my broken memory, only vague impressions.

His eyes moved abnormally, and Matou Zouken was already prepared to abandon the Matou family.

The attacking magician was too powerful.

The swarm of insects on the ground split into five groups, stretched out their wings, and rushed towards the artificial spirit on the wall in a suicide attack.

A shield opened on the surface of the artificial spirit, and the beam of light that was originally used to fix Matou Zouken disappeared.

As if he had lost his bones, Matou Zouken fell to the ground, his clothes fluttering, and then he turned into a group of insects and fled away.

The body of Matou Zouken had long ceased to function, and the body now only moved by driving insects to take away blood and flesh to form a body.

Squeeze the last bit of value from this decayed body and transform it into magic power as food for the insect swarm.

Matou Zouken used magic to escape in the chaos, and now his true form is actually just a bug.

The hidden magician seemed to react at last, and the artificial spirit on the wall emitted light, killing most of the magic insects. When everything was settled, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Dak walked into the insect warehouse.

Paracelsus had made sure the place was safe before leaving.

In the huge space, apart from the sound of Dark's footsteps, the only sound was the almost inaudible breathing of Matou Kariya.

"I didn't expect you to be so stupid, uncle." Dak's voice was cold with a sigh. The two were not familiar with each other.

Looking down at the poor and pathetic man in front of him, Dak was also deeply touched.

Until the end, the person in front of him was only thinking about saving Sakura, oh, and by the way, him, "Matou Shinji".

"You are..." The voice was weak, the vision was blurred, the hearing was declining, and Matou Kariya's vital signs were almost disappearing.

"I'm Shinji, uncle." Dark half-knelt in front of Matou Kariya so that he could see him as clearly as possible.

The vision in his left eye was completely gone, and the muscles around his eye were completely paralyzed. His hair turned gray, and his skin lost all its color, turning into a ghostly earthy gray, and his face was almost disfigured.

Matou Kariya has fallen into such a desperate situation.

With Dak's plan successful, his sacrifice was almost meaningless.

It's such a sad world that kind people end up like this.

What is the meaning of good and evil?

Only strength is what we can rely on.

Dak sighed.

The strong make the rules and the weak can only follow them. There is no justice in this world, nor is there a need for justice.

"Shinji... It's you... Please... take good care of... Sakura... uh." He was almost unable to think. Matou Kariya was completely unaware of what it meant for "Shinji", who had always shown that he had no magical abilities, to come in at this time.

For a descendant without talent to suddenly possess power is an anomaly worthy of attention even in a family of magicians.

Matou Kariya just instinctively expressed his last obsession - to save Matou Sakura.

He wanted nothing more.

Dark placed the magic prop for rescue made by Paracelsus on Matou Kariya. As smoke gradually appeared, Matou Kariya was sealed up.

Whether there is hope or not is definitely not something he, "Matou Shinji", can judge.

Unless Dark is willing to reveal his true side, but for the sake of the cricket Matou Kariya, let's just forget it.

He has endured for so long, and now he is exposed. The cost of keeping silent is not worth it.

So let's leave all the questions to Paracelsus.

As for where Paracelsus is now.

As mentioned before, everything is under control.

Paracelsus transformed into a spirit and followed Matou Zouken away.

If nothing unexpected happens, the only place Matou Zouken can go now is the location of the Holy Grail.

Maybe it was hidden by magic. Anyway, I went to Mount Enzo before but didn't find the cave where the Holy Grail was located. It was mainly a matter of time. Paracelsus sensed something unusual, but it would take time to break the shield, and it might alert Zouken Matou.

And now, Zouken Matou's escape is exactly what Dark and Paracelsus expected.

When the Matou family was breached, the old bug had few choices. He could escape anywhere, but it would be best to go to the location of the Holy Grail.

After all... who would want to fight the Holy Grail War honestly? !

Any normal person would think about cheating.

The benefits of breaking the rules outweigh those of following them, that's all.

the other side.

They transformed into a swarm of insects and rushed all the way to Yuanzang Mountain, where they arrived at a large cave hidden by advanced magic.

The remaining immobile insects consume magic power to multiply and then rebuild their bodies.

The desperate old man came here in a hurry - this is where his dream began and will also be where his dream ends.

There was very little magic power left, but without a body, even basic magic would be difficult to use, so changing back into a human form was a last resort.

Matou Zouken's own condition had already reached an extremely bad level, and the attacking magician knew him too well.

"Cough cough cough." The huge dark hole looked like a hell hole in the eyes of Matou Zouken.

The left hand, which looked like a dry branch, fell to the ground and turned into blue spirit particles before dissipating.

He is too weak.

Without transforming into a human, it would be difficult to construct a magic circuit based on the engraved bugs to cast magic. Transforming into a human would consume the body to convert magic power, and the loss involved was heartbreaking for Matou Zouken.

With Douba's magic level, he should be prepared to sneak attack the old bug, or kill it directly. Here, he deliberately let it go so that he can find the Holy Grail.
