The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 119 Familiar - Saya

Yuanzang Mountain, a big cave.

Paracelsus, who was reminded by Dark, was examining the Greater Holy Grail.

He has connected his own will to the Greater Holy Grail through magic, and now is also his most vulnerable moment.

He only dared to do this because this place had been initially built as a magic workshop.

In the darkness, a bloodshot eye suddenly appeared, and then more eyes opened. The densely packed and endless eyes were filled with more malice.

"How is it possible?" Paracelsus, who connected to the Holy Grail through magic to inspect it, finally detected an ominous and foul smell inside the Holy Grail.

The shock of this moment made him lose consciousness.

This time!

Just at this time!
A wisp of purple smoke rose from the ground beneath Paracelsus' feet.

"What?! Uh..."

Why are there other magic tricks in this place?

Damn, time is too tight, I didn’t check it thoroughly! !
It was too late when Paracelsus realized that he had been poisoned.

"Ah, the opportunity has finally come... hehe." A female voice with a chuckle appeared in the cave.

The location of the Holy Grail is not actually a top secret in the eyes of those who are hiding behind the scenes.

Along with the smoke, a beautiful woman in black appeared. Semiramis looked at the man who fell to the ground and prepared to deliver the final blow.

"Ahem, I didn't expect... that other servants arrived here before... me... and set... a trap. And they are... sassins."

Due to time constraints and busy schedule, Paracelsus did not conduct a careful and comprehensive inspection of the large void where the Holy Grail was located.

Since this was Zouken Matou's final escape location and the location of the Holy Grail hidden by a barrier, even Paracelsus himself couldn't find the place when he first came here, so he subconsciously thought that this place would be safe.

Before Paracelsus could speak, two pointed cloth strips pierced through Paracelsus's soul core.

Even a heroic spirit can bleed.

Why is this? It's obviously just a magic trick. Semiramis yawned in boredom, looking lazy and elegant.

As an assassin, Semiramis has the ability to block the breath. And her inherent skill, Double Summoning, also gives her the job ability of a caster.

It can be said that for normal magicians, they are the most troublesome opponents. It is like two magicians are scheduled to fight, and one of them changes his job to a magic destroyer.

With the help of her master Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Semiramis had set up extremely hidden magic mechanisms around the Greater Holy Grail long before the Holy Grail War began.

If Paracelsus had been given enough time, he would have been able to find it, right? Unfortunately, Paracelsus was too busy and had no time to check carefully.

"Uh... Shinji..." Paracelsus spat out another mouthful of blood. His soul core was destroyed. Even if Semiramis didn't take action, he would not be able to survive.

He is still able to speak now, but because of his superb magical attainments as a caster, he can make simple repairs to his spiritual base and delay a little time.

Such a short time and such a sudden attack were not enough for Paracelsus to contact Dark and activate the Command Spell for rescue.

At the moment of poisoning, the outcome is already determined.

However, there are still things he can do.

Although it is not very perfect, it is his magic workshop after all, and it has the magic mechanisms and creations he set up.

"boom"

The magic mechanism was detonated, the power was not very great, but rocks began to fall in the cave.

Divide and prepare a part of your own spiritual foundation.

When a hero is near death, the Noble Phantasms that the hero carries with him generally cannot be left behind after death, but knowledge and prepared items can be left behind.

The air was filled with smoke, and Paracelsus's creations broke through the storage devices and began to riot.

Many scarlet eyes lit up in the smoke, and the incomplete creatures attacked Semiramis like mad dogs.

Among them, a humanoid figure quietly approached under the control of Paracelsus, and then took away several props and the spiritual base that Paracelsus had divided and preserved.

"assa...ssin, destroy... everything." Paracelsus seemed to want to destroy it, but he deliberately left Lamisemis a chance to stop him.

This was to attract Semiramis' attention.

As long as it was not confirmed that Paracelsus was completely dead, Semiramis had no energy to confirm the specific situation at the scene.

It is precisely because he works part-time as a caster that Semiramis knows how difficult it is to deal with a caster.

Through his magical attainments, the caster can do many things beyond common sense.

“That’s…good.

Only in this way..."

After the only intact android successfully left, Paracelsus could no longer hold on and he turned into a spirit and disappeared.

The first Heroic Spirit to be defeated and retired from the Holy Grail War—Caster Paracelsus.

"What a troublesome guy." Although he thought the Holy Grail was not such a fragile thing, it obviously could not be used for gambling.

In short, we must prioritize clearing this space. Under Semiramis's attack, the creations left by Paracelsus were quickly destroyed.

"One missing?" Semiramis checked the facilities and found a problem. The number of culture media and the number of androids did not match.

"Trouble." Then he turned into a spirit and left.

As for the caster's Master, Semiramis didn't take it to heart, because normally, the death of a Servant means the Master is out.

……

"caster..."

Dark noticed when Paracelsus was in danger.

However, there was no time to activate the Command Seal, as Semiramis shattered Paracelsus's soul core with one strike.

Kill decisively and without hesitation.

There is no smugness or narration that a villain should have. It is completely different from the artistically processed bbyy in most literary works.

With his spirit core shattered, Dark gave up the idea of ​​using the Command Spell.

Although the Command Spells have an effect almost equivalent to that of Great Magecraft, repairing a broken spirit core is not within the scope of their effectiveness.

This is different from the situation in the game where Chaldea can even revive servants. The great magic effect of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War Command Spell is mainly reflected in restricting Heroic Spirits.

In other words, Paracelsus was beyond saving.

Forced spatial movement or something like that would only make Paracelsus die faster. The effect of the Command Spell was brutal and not gentle at all.

"grass!"

The test subject in his hand was crushed by a grasp, and Dak's face was uncertain. Although he didn't care much about his "master", he was still very angry about such a worthless death.

The environment of the insect warehouse has become more gloomy, terrifying... and disgusting than when Zouken Matou was still there.

In the corners and on the walls, there was a slimy tissue with veins wriggling on the surface, and even many eye-like things - cross-shaped eyeballs.

In front of Dak was a monster that looked like a pool of rotten meat.

As if sensing that Dak was in a bad mood, the pool of rotten meat stopped wriggling, and then tentacles stretched out from the middle, with slightly swollen tips, like snail tentacles.

The tentacles gently rubbed against Dark's face.

This is the result of Dak's research after obtaining some of Paracelsus' technology.

Genius Erye, truly worthy of the title.

This is also the reason why Paracelsus is so concerned about Dak. It is normal for teachers to favor gifted students.

"I'm fine, Saya." Pushing Saya's tentacles away, Dak returned to his laboratory table. From now on, he could only rely on himself.

The monster named Saya is the last product of Dark's experiment and the only one that has developed intelligence.

The way Dark's ideal specialized curse spirit was born could not be a copy of the past methods. Instead, it had to be done with the technology of this world - with magic.

And after gaining a lot of magical knowledge and no one can interfere with him.

Dark is still trying to find a way to activate the original power. For example, he can use the Heroic Spirit Summoning method to project part of the doll's curse as a pseudo-nucleus.

As the final finished product, Saya is a magical cursed spirit, and is also an extension of the system made by Dark - Saya's core is the chip that serves as the power of the system, inside the pseudo-nucleus.

He has been busy with more than that during this period. The essence of the magician profession is research. Their strength depends more on special skills, powerful familiars and various magic costumes, not on how powerful the six-dimensional body is.

Another achievement of Dark was to compare the bloodline of the Matou family with the spiritual power left by Barbatos and discover the secrets from it.

What Dak got was something that could be called a pseudo-incineration type - well, this thing was actually the result of Dak's calculations after he synchronized the data with Wawa after he came into contact with Barbatos. Dak just implemented the theory in the past few days.

Saya is using this technology now... Although there are still many imperfections, Dark has indeed completed part of it.

As for the doll itself, Dark has not yet called it out.

Besides, what about the fact that he always thinks that going all out is the strongest state?

How can it be more important than guaranteeing your own immortality!
The doll can't get through, which in turn means that no one can hurt his resurrection armor.

Life-saving ability MAX!

At least the current Saya... should be enough, right?
Although Saya currently only has the intelligence of a cat or dog, she is growing very fast.

This name is just a bit of Dak's bad taste.

The monster named Saya stared at Dark's departing back motionlessly. Its tentacles gradually retracted, and its body began to wriggle faster, releasing egg-like objects from its edges.

Dak's purpose in making her is to make "one number become many, and many become one".

In the shadows in the corners, many ant-like things crawled out. These were hatched insect eggs, which would transfer their eggs to other places.

This is why Dark added ants and bees when developing her. Dark wanted a social insect species, a tribe, not a lone wolf.

Although Dark thinks Saya's intelligence is not good enough, it does not mean that Saya is stupid. She is still very smart, but she has not accumulated enough data.

After Dark left, Saya would even take the initiative to help him clean up the insect warehouse and restore it to its original state.
