Chapter 310 Before you die, let’s get all the gold coins

After witnessing the cherry-colored hair, haori-clad, sword-wielding girl, holding the long sword in her hand, rushing towards Matou Zouken with incredible steps.

With just a flick of his hand, he shattered the two [Sealed Worms] in Matou Zouken's hands that were about to enter his body.

Then he continued to pursue Zouken Matou relentlessly, using the not-so-gorgeous katana in his hand to weave a dense array of sword lights in front of him.

While crushing the insects that Zouken Matou tried to return to human form again and again.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Matou Sakura's eyes, which had been lifeless and without luster.

“Once again, I was rescued.

"Last time it was Uncle Kariya, this time it's..."

The girl stared at the unclear light green figure in the field, trying hard to recall the scene when the other party appeared in the summoning circle.

Even though the other person's figure was so fast that her eyes could not capture the other person's face.

But she still couldn't forget the beautiful yet intimidating and cold face beneath the other's cherry-colored hair.

That is something beautiful, noble, and desirable.

At this moment, Sakura Matou's eyes were filled with unprecedented yearning and longing.

"Is that a Heroic Spirit?
"Is that the strongest [Class] Saber that Grandpa mentioned?"

He watched Matou Zouken, who was 'powerless to resist' under the pursuit of the swordsman lady, without even making a sound, as the [Marking Bugs] that made up his body were continuously killed.

Feeling the swordsman lady's cold and concise sword light, which was full of murderous aura, almost made the already gloomy environment of the entire basement even more eerie.

Something as tiny as a grain of rice called 'hope' gradually arose in Matou Sakura's heart.

Just like the little girl who is homeless and has to huddle on the street in the biting winter wind, in the cold that freezes everything.

It's like the feeling of groping for a match to light for warmth, and then glimpsing a little warm illusion through the fleeting flame of the tiny match.

Matou Sakura prayed so devoutly as never before.

【Just a little longer, just a little longer. 】

[If only this 'warm' blade light could last a little longer.]

The cold and heat-sucking sword light in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of Matou Sakura, it was the result of her transformation from Tousaka Sakura to Matou Sakura.

Something you have never seen before, something that makes you feel 'warm'.

But she also understood that this "warmth" could not last.

Because, with the naked eye, Sakura Matou noticed a fact.

Miss Swordsman's sword.

Slowed down.

The swordswoman's temporary explosive power, gained by relying on her [B++] level [Muscle Strength], and the impenetrable sword net swung purely by her flesh, are becoming sparse.

Matou Zouken's [Seal Worm] was about to break through the blockade of the sword net and gather into a human form.

This 'battle' is coming to an end.

She will also return to 'hell'.
-
Zouken Matou, who was being unilaterally slaughtered by the experienced swordsman lady, apparently noticed this fact before Sakura Matou.

He even saw more information that ordinary people didn't notice.

Although the Saber, whose real name must be [Okita Souji], possesses abnormally and strangely strong explosive power, her durability must be very low and she cannot maintain this state for a long time.

He also saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of the other person's mouth.

After observing all this, Matou Zouken couldn't help but smile coldly. He had used his rich experience to deduce the truth behind the opponent's sword slowing down.

[Is it a curse similar to [Innocent Monster]?]

[It seems that due to the rumor that [Okita Souji] 'vomited blood and died', the negative effect [Sickness] that may take effect at irregular intervals was 'fortunately' activated in this battle.]

[Otherwise, even with extremely low durability attributes, the Heroic Spirit can continue to fight for a long time. ]

After completing the analysis and glimpsing the dawn of victory, most of the resentment in Zouken Matou's heart for being ambushed disappeared in an instant.

Although he suffered a lot of losses at the beginning and lost a lot of [Marking Bugs], he was sure that he would win in the end.

He was even confident enough to take advantage of this attribute of the other party and came up with several plans to capture Fang Yi and kill him.

At the same time, the sense of superiority he felt as a magus from a long lineage of magi surged within him, nearly bursting out of his chest.

[Hmph, an amateur is an amateur, actually using [Compatibility Summoning] to summon a Heroic Spirit.]

[That 'savage' Fang Yi and his useless heroic spirit will soon be dead.]

[It has nothing to do with strength or weakness, it's just a matter of experience.]

[This is the 'foundation' of a family of magicians like mine, with a legacy that stretches back hundreds of years!]

He looked at the female swordsman who was pursing her lips tightly and was about to vomit blood due to the attack of [weakness], but she still insisted on swinging her sword and blocking Matou Sakura behind her.

I was very excited.

He had already vaguely sensed the reason why this heroic spirit was hostile to him, and had found a way to injure this heroic spirit.
-
After sensing that the opponent's sword had slowed down to a certain extent and figuring that his plan could be carried out, Matou Zouken immediately separated several [Sealing Insects] and attacked Matou Sakura in a swaggering manner.

Seeing that the other party decisively changed his target to protect the girl, Matou Zouken sneered.

The [Winged Blade Insect], which had been prepared and waiting for an opportunity in the opponent's blind spot, responded and took advantage of the air attack left by Okita Souji when he drew his sword to kill the [Marked Insect], and burst out at an astonishing speed to launch a sneak attack on the opponent.

Okita Souji, who was [sick and weak], had just killed the [Sealed Bug] and just looked back.

During the short period of time wasted by the opponent, the layers of [Winged Blade Insects] that she could hardly kill would begin to gnaw at the opponent's body.

"Then the battle is over.

"The story of the magician defeating the heroic spirit was written by me personally."

He had already given up the idea of ​​asking Fang Yi to "stop" the other party.

Instead, he planned to take advantage of the situation and activate [Insect Magic] once again to inflict some damage on this Heroic Spirit who was in a [Sick] state.

This Saber's [Magic Resistance] was obviously very poor, not even reaching [B] level.

Therefore, she is not immune to her own [Magic] like other Sabers.

At the same time, the other party should be a heroic spirit on the side of justice, who cannot stand the fact that he is being violent towards Sakura Matou.

Obviously, he could use this to attack Matou Sakura first, and then "surround and attack the reinforcements", use his [Insect Magic] to hurt the opponent, and then gain some advantages.

[With Fang Yi's low magician talent, how can he allow the Heroic Spirit to [transform] and recover quickly from injuries?]

[How can he fight against [Lancelot] while dragging a wounded Heroic Spirit? ]
-
Seeing that the female swordsman had not turned back yet, his [Winged Blade Insect] was about to approach her.

Matou Zouken, having regained his human form, smiled with satisfaction.

"Unless you have eyes behind your back, it will be too late."

Before Matou Zouken could finish his words, he saw Okita Souji, who did not look back, respond as if he had predicted it.

She turned the long sword in her hand, and with a flash of the sword, she knocked down all the groups of [Winged Blade Insects] that were in the blind spot of her vision, and neutralized Matou Zouken's attack.

Just like a sixth sense, it is a skill that allows people to avoid danger [Mind's Eye (Fake)].

Matou Zouken was shocked, but not discouraged.

[An unexpected skill, but your sword is even slower.]

If you don't rest, you won't be able to recover from your illness!

He once again used the [Insect Magic] to control the [Engraved Insects] that filled the sky.

This time he was absolutely certain that his opponent, who had already reached his limit, would be unable to resist.

However, when his swarm of insects was about to fly close to the female swordsman, a figure that made him terrified appeared in front of the female swordsman.

[Oh no! This brat is trying to use the [Self-Enforced Certificate]].

A sentence that made him almost vomit blood and confirmed his guess also reached his ears.

“I’m really sorry, my swordsman isn’t very obedient.

"My perception is a little 'dulled'.

“So I just ‘discovered’ her behavior now and came to ‘discipline’ her.

"I hope it was 'just in time' and didn't cause you too much damage, did it?"

Fang Yi was preparing to show Matou Zouken the specific effects of "forcibly" taking effect after signing a contract using the curse magic of [Self-Enforcement Certificate].
-
Listening to the words of the strange man, Matou Sakura suddenly opened her eyes, which had been tightly closed because she didn't want to see the beautiful swordsman get hurt.

She had already accepted the fate of falling back into 'hell', but the man's words moved her heart. The girl looked at this man who appeared in her sight for the first time, but who exuded a faint aura of 'kindness' and warmth.

He looked again at the countless hideous and terrifying insects in front of the man.

I suddenly felt a bit of wild expectation in my heart.

[He who was able to summon that swordsman lady must be a good person.]

Is he trying to protect his Servant? Perhaps he has a way to deal with that bug?

Thinking of this, Sakura Matou couldn't help but lower her head again.

She didn't want to see the man being eaten to bones by those horrible insects.

The girl knew very well how terrible the bug her grandfather was.

That was a [Winged Blade Bug] that could gnaw a huge buffalo into bones in a second, and it was also an attack that a human man could never resist.

After all, [How can he accomplish something that even the Heroic Spirits can't? ]

But the next moment, she did not hear the roar of the insects approaching, nor did she hear the sound of the insects gnawing at her flesh.

Instead, I heard the sound of insects colliding with each other.

She looked up and saw a scene that she would never forget.
-
Faced with the overwhelming swarm of insects, the man did not make any move.

Just standing there, the endless swarm of fat insects collided with each other and started killing each other, and countless blood mists exploded in the air.

Facing the gushing blood, the man just smiled and touched the knife at his waist.

Although the sword has not been unsheathed, an aura of "momentum" that makes people worship it rises from its body.

Then the man waved his right hand, and the half-meter blood mist that had just splashed in front of the man lost the power to continue flying. It stopped as if it had hit an invisible barrier and fell to the ground.

A clear dividing line was drawn half a meter in front of the man.

In front of the line was a hell of flesh and blood formed by the flesh and blood of countless insects, and the furious Matou Zouken.

Behind the line is the smiling man without a trace of dust, the female swordsman who finally gets a chance to catch her breath and is trying to get rid of her [sickness], and herself.

[He is so strong, so good.]

Matou Sakura looked at the dividing line drawn by the smiling man and had lost the ability to express the shock in her heart in words.

She only knew that from now on she probably wouldn't have to imagine what God looked like when she prayed.

Because today, she has seen the God who extended a helping hand to her.
-
Looking at the furious Zouken Matou in front of him, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment and couldn't do anything to him.

Fang Yi, who was standing next to the swordsman lady, smiled slightly.

He had anticipated this scenario, he was just taking advantage of a loophole in the 'contract'.

The reason why the [Self-Enforced Certificate] allowed [Kenneth] to let down his guard and trap this "child prodigy" in the original book was naturally because it had the effect of "forcing" others to execute the terms.

Because he stood in front of the insect swarm, Matou Zouken's attack triggered the clause in the [Self-Enforcement Certificate] that [All acts of revenge against Fang Yi will be prohibited].

Under the curse magic with the effect of 'compulsion', Matou Zouken was extremely reluctant.

But his hands had already moved, controlling the [Winged Blade Insects] to kill each other in pairs, and 'actively' ended this 'vendetta' against Fang Yi.

Looking at the almost furious Matou Zouken, Fang Yi did not continue to provoke the "old man".

Instead, he turned his head to look at the swordsman lady and Matou Sakura.

Now comes the harvest phase.

When Fang Yi glanced at the delicate face of his swordsman, he saw the expression of gratitude that he had expected.

At the same time, the words of his heroic spirit came from his 'heart'.

"Master, thank you for your assistance.

"I'm so sorry, my old weakness has come back.

"It was clearly my own decision to start the fight, and I'm still asking you to take action during it."
-
Just when Fang Yi was about to speak to comfort his heroic spirit, the reminder sound of the reincarnation space rang in his ears.

[Due to fighting together, the friendship and bond level of the Heroic Spirit will be improved. 】

[Regarding the [Breaking Limits: Absolute Sword] series of quests that enhance the strength of Reincarnators and Heroic Spirits, some of the triggering conditions are met. Please try to talk to the Heroic Spirit to trigger the quest.]

Fang Yi was stunned at first, and then the smile on his face deepened a little.

If nothing unexpected happens, this task should be Miss Swordsman's 'Skill Book' which changes the negative skill [Sickly] into the positive skill [Absolute Sword].

He should also be able to take this opportunity to upgrade his [Mastery Level Sword Skills].

Thinking of this, he replied with a sentence that made the swordsman lady's cheeks slightly red.

"Don't be ashamed of this, my swordsman lady.

"When a Servant is unable to win in battle, it is time for the Master to take action.

"After all, the Servant and the Master are 'one heart and one body', advancing and retreating together."

As Fang Yi spoke, he gestured to his swordsman to look at Sakura Matou behind him and continued to increase the swordsman's friendship level.

"So, this victory of saving the girl was forged by you and me, wasn't it?"

The swordsman lady looked at Sakura Matou, who was standing quietly behind her and the man, unharmed, and felt grateful to the man.

He then 'complained' to the Master, whose character he had come to understand somewhat and with whom he had become more familiar through this battle.

"Master, it was clearly me who held you back, but you turned it into us fighting side by side as one.

"You're really good at saying sweet words that people will like.

"Master, it seems like you must be very good at seducing girls."

Fang Yi turned around and pretended to respond to the female swordsman, but in fact he activated [Transparent World·Enhancement] and glanced at Matou Sakura inadvertently.

After confirming that the true form of Matou Zouken [Marking Bug] was in the girl's heart, his plan of "exploding and killing the old bug" did not need to be changed.

He smiled and responded in his heart to the swordsman lady who had become familiar with him and dared to tease him.

"I think those comments about me should be expressed in a different way, such as the charm of a man or something like that."

While communicating in his heart with the female swordsman with whom he had become familiar, he walked closer with a smile, touched Sakura Matou's head and comforted the girl.

"Yeah, he's healthy. It seems like he's fine, except for the psychological trauma he might have suffered from witnessing such a bloody and violent scene. He shouldn't have any major problems."

The girl looked at the man who was smiling at her, and had no choice but to lower her head. She mustered up the courage to reply in a voice as small as a mosquito.

"Thank you for your intervention."

Then he said the second half of the sentence in his heart that he couldn't say out loud.

【My Lord God, who belongs only to me.】

However, this beautiful scene was soon interrupted by the sinister voice of Matou Zouken, who had come to his senses and was about to implement his plan.

"Lord Fang Yi, your summoning of the heroic spirit has been completed, and I have fulfilled the promise I made to you.

"I have also imparted to you some knowledge of the Command Spell System. If you spend some time familiarizing yourself with it, you should be able to discipline your Heroic Spirit and, as stipulated in the contract, stop seeking revenge against me.

"I want to go out and take my granddaughter to see my unfilial son.

"Shouldn't you give me your old granddaughter?"

Fang Yi felt something in his heart when he heard Matou Zouken's slightly threatening words.

He had already guessed the other party's intention, which was simply to hide his "true self".

But he was not prepared to release Matou Sakura, who carried the opponent's true form [Marking Worm] in her heart, like a [Soul Box] used by lich to "resurrect", to the enemy.

Now, Zouken Matou is basically of no use to him.

He planned to use up all the useful "gold coins" of [Bug Magic] on the old bug, and then find an excuse to keep Sakura Matou by his side, forcing her to meet with him.

Finally, he contacted and shook Miss Zhuang over, set a trap to kill the old bug, and at the same time cleared out his body in Sakura Matou's heart, completely eliminating the other party.
-
Fang Yi looked at Matou Zouken who was trying to get away with a sinister smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. He had already thought of how to make the other party "explode gold coins".

He planned to use the [Self-Enforced Certificate] combined with his own talents and [Human Pill Method] to teach the other party a final lesson.

The name of this lesson is [The Learning Speed ​​of Genius].

[It’s better to use up all the gold coins before you die. ]

Fang Yi thought so.
