The Dark Way of the Egoist: A Serial

Chapter 121 Why break the cup war?

Hear the doorbell.

Sakura Matou, who had been informed in advance by Dark, immediately ran to open the door.

Karna came here openly and without concealing his presence. Not to mention Saya's tentacles that were spread everywhere and extremely hidden, even the magic detection agencies that were openly set up nearby had already noticed his traces.

Karna made no attempt to hide and came out openly.

Dark had no way to deal with this. He couldn't pretend that no one was at the Matou family and that they were closing the door to visitors. If he did that, someone would probably break in as soon as it got dark.

That would completely expose the fact that the Matou family could be manipulated at will.

Even if he didn't hide, Dark felt that he couldn't hide the truth. After all, the Karna group, who was difficult to deceive, was the most troublesome in Dark's opinion.

Gilgamesh, who also has the ability to see through illusions, would not activate the star of omniscience and omnipotence in a "game" like the Holy Grail War for the sake of fun - he deserved to fail.

In the corridor, looking at the mummy-like old man beside him, Dark gave up the idea of ​​having Lancelot disguise himself as Zouyan Matou. Instead, he made a puppet out of insects and put Zouyan Matou's soul into it.

Create a false personality through magical means for control.

I hope it won’t be seen through?

As a qualified mastermind, Dak really doesn't want to expose himself now.

Lancelot holds the Noble Phantasm not for his own glory, but because it can transform into any warrior who can establish meritorious deeds, this ability has been degraded due to berserk, and now he can only change his appearance and conceal his own aura, and it will become ineffective once he starts to fight.

Putting aside whether Zouken Matou can be considered a warrior, his camouflage level after deterioration should not be enough. Facing Karna, he will be seen through at a glance, right?
Dak was a little unsure.

Frankly speaking, he only had a partial understanding of Karna's abilities.

Karna is a person who has the insight of a poor person. It is said that he can see through a certain degree of delusion and not be deceived by falsehood, but it is difficult to say to what extent he can do so.

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it can be covered up by Lancelot's degraded abilities.

Apart from this, what Dark could do was to mobilize most of Saya's body tissues. It was hard to say whether he could win the fight, but he would definitely be able to save his life.

Saya is still very strong.

With Karna's official visit, Sakura Matou stood on tiptoe and opened the door...the door handle was a little high for her.

"Uh..." As the door opened, Sakura Matou stepped back suddenly, almost falling to the ground, looking very uneasy.

The man who appeared from behind the door had a scary appearance, sharp eyes, and skin as pale as a ghost. The clothes he wore perfectly matched his temperament, and he looked sinister and ferocious.

Even Sakura Matou, who had seen the Mushikura Hell, couldn't stand the pressure brought by Karna.

In short, he is not a good person at first glance.

What on earth was Irisviel's mindset to intentionally dress Karna like this... is a very thought-provoking question.

Is my wife’s mind really mature?
By the way...my wife seems to be only nine years old?
With a nine-year-old wife and an eight-year-old daughter, Kiritsugu Emiya is truly enviable.

Dak remembered a joke - Illya: "Mom, can I use your ID card to go online? Illya is not yet an adult. Irisviel: "I'm afraid that's not possible, Illya, Mom is not an adult either."

quack!
It's a joke from hell.

"..."The Karna sank due to Sakura Matou's performance.

Perhaps this is the biggest blow to Karna since he was summoned.

Even if the Master used him as a tool, Karna could accept it by saying that it was natural.

But when he thought he was doing well, he scared the little girl, which hurt him too much. He still liked children. When trying clothes with Alice, he felt pretty good.

It seemed as if his will had been severely damaged. Karna looked even more gloomy and more like a villain.

He is obviously very tolerant and has a noble spirit. He accepts everything as a "possibility" and respects the "different beauty" in the eyes of everyone. However, he is still not recognized by the public and still attracts a lot of prejudice. Perhaps it is also due to his own personality and habits - his appearance also accounts for a large proportion. He doesn't look like a good person.

Didn’t Karna ever think about changing his image?

"If possible, what can I do for you?" It was Dark who finally broke the silence.

After finishing his words, Dark walked out from the shadows in the room with the heroic spirit Lancelot.

"I didn't expect that there would be a child among the masters participating in the competition. Is there no one left in the Matou family?" Karna said after a brief silence.

The cold tone, along with the chilly wind blowing in from the door, made him look even more like a villain, as if he was going to wipe out the entire clan.

Dak felt that when he had done many evil things in the past, he was not as charismatic as Karna and was worth learning from.

Dark was a little speechless. The words were so direct that he had no idea how to respond as a child like "Matou Shinji".

The atmosphere suddenly became more awkward. Sakura, who was originally trembling, now didn't even dare to tremble. Children are most sensitive to the atmosphere.

"Lancer came to the Matou family just to mock them!" Dark thought for a moment and felt that this response was more appropriate.

A dull silence is absolutely unacceptable, communication is essential.

"No, it's just that my Master thought it necessary for a participant in the Holy Grail War to visit the host.

Maybe there will be some things to discuss.

But now it seems that if it’s just a child then…” Karna didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said at first, until he saw that Dak’s face was getting uglier.

He reacted immediately and then kept silent. For someone who has no self-awareness at all and doesn't know what it means to say such a thing in the current situation, Dak can only say - hehe.

If it were a normal magician, he would really bully the weak Matou family. Fortunately, they met Kenneth's group. The old-fashioned Director Ken was very rule-abiding.

Although both the master and the servant are very sharp-tongued and speak harshly, they are essentially good people.

The fact that Weber had the opportunity to summon the King of Conquerors was truly a sign of Kenneth's great mercy - this wasn't to say that Kenneth had saved Weber on purpose, it was just luck.

Otherwise, if Weber had no backing and openly challenged the class order of the Clock Tower, instead of being beaten down by Kenneth and becoming a clown-like character, he would have died long ago.

Strictly speaking, the Clock Tower at this stage is the stronghold of aristocracy.

What is aristocracy?

Of course, it was the era of magician families.

The speech that Waver made openly in the Clock Tower was like a declaration of rebellion.

Only Kenneth was shameless. He was not only the ruler of the Mineral Department but also the head of the Archibald family. After being humiliated by him, the matter was forgotten.

To find trouble again would seem disrespectful to Kenneth.

"My lord will come to visit you the next day. Here is the visiting card." In the awkward atmosphere, Karna's words were cold.

As if he didn't know how to get along with children, Karna chose to handle things in a businesslike manner, but because of his image problem, he looked even more malicious.

As Dark's mind changed, Lancelot turned into a black mist and appeared in front of Karna, borrowing the visiting card.

Although Lancelot was in a frenzied state, he had always been honest. Dark was glad that there was no Arthur in this Broken Cup War.

It’s not that Sargeras isn’t strong, but Sargeras in the Fourth War can really be said to be more of a hindrance than a help, and Dark is not a fan of this poster girl.

In other words, Duck has absolutely no love for any character in the plot. He doesn't like anything and doesn't care about anything.

“This is a gift.” Karna took out a large package from the hidden spot outside the door.

This was picked out by Alice Fell at the mall. Although Karna didn't bring any money, his wife is rich!

Moreover, since it is my wife's money that is being spent, the gift can be chosen according to her own wishes.

However, considering my wife's age and mental level, her favorite gift is self-evident.

Damn it, Kiritsugu really deserves to be shot a hundred times!
It's really so enviable... so outrageous, they are mother and daughter, only one year apart in age.

Fortunately, Kenneth did not use magic to connect to Karna's perception at this time, otherwise he would be very embarrassed!
The gifts that the noble messenger from the Clock Tower brought when he visited were not his own - Kenneth had intended to bring gifts when he came in person, but he had not expected Karna to bring these.

By the time Karna turned and left, Dak's head was almost full of questions.

Could it be that the emotional intelligence of a hero is so low?

Sakura beside her slowly opened the package, which was filled with various snacks and the like...

Alice Feier is indeed a good person, but that doesn't stop her from having some bad tastes.

The Holy Grail War is such a serious matter, and you bring a bunch of snacks when you visit?
Hahahaha this is so funny!

Dark watched Sakura take out the gifts speechlessly, wondering how to deal with Kenneth's visit.

After reading the visiting card written by Kenneth, I closed it again and found that it was written in a very "aristocratic" style.

"Hey, brother." Dark looked up and saw Sakura standing in front of him with a box of chocolates. "This big brother seems to be a good person." Matou Sakura gave the good person card.

"Let's eat together, brother!" Sakura Matou smiled happily. This was also a rare happy time for her.

"Okay. Sakura." He put his hand on Sakura's head as naturally as touching a dog's head.

Dak thought about it and decided to just relax.

He was already feeling a bit overwhelmed, as the "enemies" he was facing were guys who were capable of killing "Matou Shinji" with ease... Couldn't he just focus on developing in peace?
Why are you so busy?

Although Dark also wants to obtain the Holy Grail, he is not interested in breaking up the cup war.

It's a thankless waste of time and effort, so it's better to cheat and steal.

And based on the special characteristics that Saya is showing now, Dak has other ideas.

For example...infecting the entire country.

Ordinary people throughout Japan were used as test subjects.

Integrate Saya into the entire Japanese society.

But the population is so large, how can we avoid being targeted by the suppressive force?

Hehe, this is the magician's method, either his skills are not up to standard and he can't do anything, or his skills are up to standard and he can make a big mess in no time.

From my point of view, the protagonist will eventually obtain the Black Holy Grail.

But from the protagonist's perspective, the broken cup is not really necessary for him. He will constantly modify his plan according to the current situation and will not stare at the broken cup.

This will not make the protagonist appear super
