Tokiomi Tohsaka was completely taken aback by the question asked by Kariya Matou, and he frowned.
"This is not something you should be concerned about right now and in this place."
"Answer me, the time!"
Enraged, Matou Kariya roared at the top of his lungs, to which Tohsaka Tokiomi sighed softly.
"Is there any need to say that? Of course I hope my beloved daughter will be happy in the future."
"You...? What are you talking about?"
This answer was so absurd to Matou Kariya that he couldn't help but laugh out loud in anger.
Seeing Matou Kariya's astonished expression, Tohsaka Tokiomi shook his head and continued speaking in a calm tone.
"Any magician with two children left will be troubled by this kind of dilemma."
"The secret technique can only be passed on to one of them, and the other child must be reduced to a mortal life."
"Especially my wife, as the mother who gave birth to children, she is really too outstanding. Rin and Sakura were born with top-notch qualities that are rare in the world. Therefore, both daughters need the protection of the magic family."
To erase the potential of the other for the sake of one's own future—how could any father possibly want such a tragedy to happen? (8)
Tokiomi Tohsaka spoke eloquently, but to Kariya Matou, his words were merely background noise.
He couldn't understand Tokiomi Tohsaka's words at all, nor did he want to; they were words that made him nauseous. 7
"You bastard...you bastard..." Lu
Kariya Matou's anger had reached its limit; he couldn't understand how this person could say such things without batting an eye. 6.
"Wouldn't this just make them fight each other? You want those two sisters to kill each other?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka chuckled softly, his expression nonchalant, and nodded in response to Kariya Matou's rebuke. (IV)
"Even if it truly comes to that, my descendants will still be happy. The victor will gain unparalleled glory, and the vanquished's honor will be attributed to their ancestral name. No battle is more exhilarating than such a duel." (Death)
"You're absolutely insane!" (ii)
How could I have entrusted Aoi to such a madman? Was my mind already clouded by Zouken Matou's worms back then?
"It's no use telling you these things, since you don't understand the nobility of the demonic path and even abandoned it at one point."
Tokiomi Tohsaka gave Kariya Matou, who was gritting his teeth, a cold glance and said in a mocking tone.
"It's full of nonsense!"
Anger and hatred had exceeded the limit of endurance. The anger that had subsided considerably in the past few days was now burning fiercely again, almost setting Matou Kariya ablaze.
But his anger didn't make him lose his mind; he hadn't forgotten why he had come here in the first place.
He first filled the markings within his body with sparks, then used underworld magic to feed the corpses to them and make them work.
The swarm of insects, like a sweeping tsunami, rustled and gathered from the surrounding shadows.
The insects initially resembled worms, but soon they began to slowly writhe and convulse in pain. A straight crack appeared on each of their backs, from which flew insects with shells and wings that had a steely, shiny black luster.
These insects were the strongest attack method that Matou Kariya previously possessed. These insects, called Winged Blade Insects, have extremely deadly mouthparts that can even chew bones to pieces.
"A magician is someone who is born with power, and one day they will explore even greater powers. Before they accept their destiny, responsibility exists in their bloodline. Being the son of a magician is just like that."
As Tokiomi Tohsaka spoke calmly to Kariya Matou, he raised his formal cane high and summoned a flame spell from the large ruby embedded in the cane's head.
In the void, a defensive formation was drawn, mimicking the crest of the Tohsaka family, igniting the night air and setting off a raging fire.
This is an offensive defense; anything that touches it will be burned.
Logically speaking, using this move against someone who is almost a complete novice in magic is a bit of an overreaction, but Tokiomi Tohsaka has no intention of showing any mercy.
"Because you refused to succeed as the head of the family, allowing Kenma Kirito's magic to fall into Sakura's hands, I should thank you... but I still cannot forgive you, man."
"Your weakness makes you betray the responsibility of your family bloodline, and your despicable nature makes you feel no remorse for it. Matou Kariya is a disgrace to the demonic path. Now that we have met again, I have no choice but to kill you."
"What a joke! The responsibility you keep talking about is nothing but your self-righteousness! Imposing your own set of principles on others, that's your arrogance, Tokiomi Tohsaka, you bastard!"
Matou Kariya roared loudly, and the winged insects rushed towards the scorching flames like moths to a flame.
“You’re wrong. Taking responsibility for one’s own life is the first priority of being human. This is not just my idea, but the principle of being human. You have become a non-human, four-legged beast, Kariya.”
Watching those winged insects rush into the flames like moths to a flame, one after another they were burned to ashes.
Even those that weren't completely burned lost all signs of life, turning into curled-up, black, round charcoal lumps.
Tokiomi Tohsaka no longer intended to offer a cold laugh; he had been so arrogant just moments before, but in reality, he was nothing more than this.
Unbeknownst to him, the charred spheres suddenly trembled.
Chapter Nineteen: Double Victory
It's really boring; you can win without doing anything at all.
Like moths drawn to a flame, insects can only turn to ashes one by one. Tokiomi Tohsaka even began to feel sorry for Kariya Matou.
However, this can be transferred to a group: Uncle (棂㈣跁〉Silk∥★⑵⒐【“跉⒌怜,是由鄙離由他不悦。
Such a degenerate and corrupt magician is simply intolerable to Tokiomi Tohsaka, who adheres to the noble path of magic.
“Intensive Einascherung——” (The cremation of my enemy will be fierce)
Tokiomi Tohsaka recited the incantation in German, and the flames of the defensive array responded to the incantation, which consisted of only one or two syllables, swaying left and right like a long snake as they stretched out towards Kariya Matou.
Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't even intend to look at him any longer. He used his flames to completely destroy the guy in front of him and make this traitor of the demonic path disappear.
However, the long serpent of flames rushed forward but failed to ignite its target. Instead, it seemed as if its neck had been choked, causing the flames to rise and preventing it from advancing any further.
"It seems you have learned some knowledge of spells that can deal with attacks."
Tokiomi Tohsaka was somewhat surprised, but that was about it.
Tokiomi Tohsaka uttered several syllables to form an incantation, and the flames beside him transformed into spears that shot out.
"Tokitomi Tohsaka!"⑨
Suddenly, Kariya Matou shouted Tokiomi Tohsaka's name, and the flames surrounding Tokiomi Tohsaka ignited right beside Kariya. (Rin)
The flames fired from the flamingo guns all merged into the same flames, actually increasing the power of the flames beside Matou Kariya's voice. ④
"This isn't Matou family magic. So that's why you dared come back to participate in the Holy Grail War; you've learned some magic from who-knows-where." (8)
"Even so, it's just a futile struggle, and I won't give them another chance." Si
Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression didn't change much. Although some unexpected things had happened, they were all minor and harmless.
However, Tokiomi Tohsaka was also preparing to unleash his true power. Just as he raised his ceremonial staff, an attack from Kariya Matou came even faster.
Kariya Matou cut open his palm, letting the blood flow from his fingertips. The chilling necromancer collected the blood, and then a dark shadow instantly enveloped the entire area.
Numerous insects swarmed onto the battlefield. Unlike the winged blade insects previously manipulated by Matou Kariya, these were carnivorous scarabs summoned now.
These insects were used as punishment, specifically to devour human flesh.
The flames surrounding Tokiomi Tohsaka could stop some of the scarabs, but not all of them.
Some of the insects broke through the flames and rushed towards Tokiomi Tohsaka.
"I didn't expect you to have traveled so far in the past ten years. Did you come back from Egypt? No wonder you were able to summon a noble pharaoh. The relics that summoned him must have been your acquisition in Egypt."
Tokiomi Tohsaka finally changed his expression, grabbed the red gem on his cane, and uttered incomprehensible incantations.
The wind was the first to blow, and finally, with the help of the wind, the flames grew stronger.
The surrounding flames transformed into raging fire serpents, attempting to capture the scarabs that kept rushing towards them.
"If you've gone this far, I might change my opinion of you, but the fact that you betrayed the demonic path remains unchanged."
Tokiomi Tohsaka's opinion has improved slightly. Such magic is not something an apprentice who has returned to the path of magic for a year can do; it would require at least several years of experience.
But this was still to no avail; it was only then that Tokiomi Tohsaka was about to unleash his true abilities.
The Tohsaka family's magic is gem magic. They store magical power in gems using the characteristics of their magic, and then take them out to use the magic when needed.
Until just now, Tokiomi Tohsaka had been using his own magical power, at most borrowing the Mystic Code in his hand for a short while.
Two eight 甒+→7〗㈥、″Sulfur』$Three;⑷÷~泀≤ ̄⒉Daily Update Group: A magenta gem appeared in Tokiomi Tohsaka's hand in the next instant. With the magic contained in the gem, he could even perform large-scale magic without using his own magic.
With a gentle squeeze, the two gems instantly turned to ash, unleashing a surge of powerful magic that whipped up a tornado of flames.
The scarabs that were just about to approach Tokiomi Tohsaka were instantly wiped out, and the gloomy aura surrounding them was also swept away.
"Use whatever means you have left, Matou Kariya. If not, then die as a traitor to the demonic path."
Having already used his collection, Tokiomi Tohsaka no longer dared to be careless, and unleashed a torrent of flames at full power.
"So you haven't realized it yet? Tokiomi Tohsaka, the victory in this battle will only be mine. Whether it's for me, for Sakura, or for my king, I must win."
Kariya Matou roared loudly and actually ripped off one of his own arms.
Matou Kariya reached forward with his other hand and gathered the flames surrounding him, modeled after Tohsaka Tokiomi, into his hand.
Then, Matou Kariya grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, mixed the flames and soil together, and sprinkled it on the severed arm.
The severed arm then transformed into a venomous snake and charged towards the flames.
However, the two venomous snakes were instantly burned to ashes and disappeared into the air the moment they touched Tokiomi Tohsaka's flames.
"It seems this is your final magic trick, the result of your betrayal of the demonic path, your ultimate failure on the demonic path, and the loss of your life. If you had never betrayed the demonic path, none of this would have happened."
As Tokiomi Tohsaka said this, the sweeping flames were about to tear the one-armed Kariya Matou to shreds.
But the flames could not advance any further, because a venomous snake appeared out of nowhere on the side.
The venomous snake lunged forward and bit Tokiomi Tohsaka's leg.
The potent toxin instantly circulated throughout Tokiomi Tohsaka's body via his bloodstream, and within a millisecond, he lost the ability to move and collapsed to the ground.
"The goddess Isis once molded a serpent from clay and saliva, and the curse on the serpent was something even the great sun god Ra could not resist."
Matou Kariya walked slowly over and picked up the charred ball from the ground.
This was a trap set from the very beginning to revive the venomous snake.
"It's all your fault, Tokiomi Tohsaka."
Matou Kariya revealed a resentful look, swung his severed arm, and punched the incapacitated Tohsaka Tokiomi in the face.
"You ruined everything, not only everything I had, but also everything Sakura had. Your chuunibyou-ish responsibility disgusts me; you're just a bastard!"
Matou Kariya relentlessly pounded his fists until a golden ship of light crashed from the sky, awakening him from his frenzy.
