Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

Furthermore, there was a patch of jet-black markings on his face, which, if one had to make a comparison, resembled the "marks" awakened by the swordsmen in Demon Slayer. Combined with his already quite handsome face, he exuded an eerie beauty.

"This power."

Shen Qiu calmed down and found that when he concentrated, he seemed to resonate with the black symbols on his body. He felt that the symbols were calling to him.

"They are calling me, calling me to go to that place..." Shen Qiu felt his breathing becoming more and more rapid, and memories that did not belong to him began to appear in his mind, as well as fragmented images like a revolving lantern.

"Where is that? Where is that place...?"

His head began to throb with excruciating pain, as if it were exploding. A bizarre image kept recurring in his mind. After enduring the pain and torment, Shen Qiu finally managed to make out what it was by focusing all his attention.

It was a fantastical castle with a Gothic architectural style. Dark green and black made up the main body of the castle, and the walls were covered with ivy. It looked old and desolate, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

Outside the castle, a strange black moon hung in the sky.

The next moment, Shen Qiu's eyes suddenly opened.

"I understand, that's where—"

"Black Moon Temple!"

As Shen Qiu finished speaking, the black symbols on his body seemed to come alive and detached from him, then exploded instantly!

"This is... the Black Moon Temple."

Shen Qiu looked around in shock at the place where he was. It was a Gothic castle with no gate, and he could only see the black moon hanging in the distance through the windows.

The castle was very quiet. There were no living people except him, only candles that seemed to burn forever and various demonic stone sculptures.

"I see. It must be similar to the sixty-fourth floor of Araya Sōren's Offering Hall. I will have complete control in this space."

However, before Shen Qiu could conduct any more experiments, he suddenly felt his vision go black, and then a great sense of fatigue began to surge into his heart. The Black Moon Temple vanished in an instant, turning into a black symbol that returned to his body.

P.S.: Please send me some flowers, waaaaah!

Chapter Sixty: Target: Ryudou Temple (Please give me flowers, sob sob sob)

"Is that guy, Araya Sōren, really that strong?"

Shen Qiu, lying on the bed, looked somewhat helpless. After returning from the Black Moon Temple, his vision went black and he fell to the ground with a "bang." This was because his body had forcibly endured the backlash from the barrier spell.

Come to think of it, I was only inside for a few minutes before I lost consciousness when I came back. The physical strength of Araya Sōren is probably unimaginably high.

Even the most powerful body is just a thread that can be cut in the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, but the problem is that the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are not something you can find everywhere, like street vendors.

No wonder Araya Sōren's "skills in magic are full of flaws, but he still manages to surpass others through his own strength."

My assumptions were too naive. Although the body had been protected by the runes, it still couldn't withstand the power of the barrier.

"But it doesn't matter. All we need to do is trap him and let Master release the Noble Phantasm. Let's hold out as long as possible." Just as Shen Qiu was thinking about how to deal with Zouken, a black crow flew in through the open window.

"We've found a clue. That annoying old man covered in bugs is in a temple thirty kilometers southwest of here." The black crow received this answer after pausing for a while in Dankalabi.

"A temple located about thirty kilometers away can only be..."

Upon hearing this news, Shen Qiu's expression suddenly turned serious. There was only one temple in Fuyuki City, namely Ryudou Temple, located on the remote outskirts of the city, atop Mount Enzo, which was already nestled among the mountains.

Although ordinary people thought it was just an ordinary temple, how could Shen Qiu, as the young master of the Matou family, one of the three great families, not know what Mount Enzo was really used for?

Beneath Mount Enzo lies a colossal "Great Hollow." A massive magic circle is painted on the garlic-mortar-shaped ground; this is the location of the "Greater Grail," the true core of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

At the center of the Greater Grail lies Justeza, the Winter Saintess who sacrificed her body two hundred years ago to become the core of the Greater Grail. This place is also the location of the Dragon Vein of Fuyuki City, possessing the most abundant source of magical energy in the entire city.

"Zangen set up his base in that place, what exactly is he planning to do..." Because the Holy Grail was corrupted during the last Holy Grail War, the person now in control of the Holy Grail's core has become the evil of this world, [Angola Mainyu].

Zouken's ultimate goal is to reincarnate into Angolan Manuel in order to obtain true immortality, so logically he and Angolan Manuel should be enemies.

"Let's go, to Ryudong Temple!"

Ignoring his still dizzy head and aching muscles, Shen Qiu had a feeling that Zang Yan was up to no good. This guy had completely gone mad and couldn't be judged by common sense.

Meanwhile, inside the large cavern beneath Mount Yuanzang on the other side.

"How are the conditions I offered? I wonder if you are satisfied?" Zouken looked at the giant magic circuits in front of him and suddenly felt a little nostalgic. Two hundred years ago, he and Tohsaka Eito watched Justiza walk to the end together. He hadn't been back for two hundred years since then.

Over the course of two hundred years, Justisa's magic circuits have spread to every corner of this place.

"Hehehe, why should I believe you? Do you think you can win this Holy Grail War in your current state? If I hadn't agreed to your illegal summoning, you would probably have been killed by your grandson by now, wouldn't you?"

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, a figure emerged from the darkness in the distance that looked exactly like Yustiza—no, not exactly the same; he was merely imitating his body out of his own perverse pleasure.

As a participant in the Third Holy Grail War, Zouken naturally knew who the "person" in front of him was. It was definitely not Justeza, the Winter Saintess, but "All the Evil of This World" named Angra Mainyu.

This is the most foolish thing the Einzbern family has ever done.

The defeated Angra Mainyu's soul was absorbed by the Holy Grail. Normally, defeated heroic spirits would lose their personality and be absorbed into the Holy Grail as magical energy, but Angra Mainyu was a hero created from the wishes of those around him, so his entry into the Holy Grail was equivalent to making a wish.

Originally, he intended to be born into this world as an example of the realization of the Third Law, using the Greater Grail as his womb. However, the Third Law, created to save humanity, ruthlessly rejected him, leaving him here for sixty years without being able to leave.

it's fine.

The victor of the next Holy Grail War can make a wish—whatever the wish—and be born into this world, bringing complete curse and calamity.

Chapter 61: The Madman Zouken Matou (Seeking Flowers)

The weather was lovely. Winter was just beginning and it wasn't too cold yet. The sunset and the evening glow were fiery red, as if half the sky had been set ablaze. Many parents were playing with their children in the park or on the street.

Sitting in the back seat of the Porsche, Shen Qiu silently watched the scene on the streets of Fuyuki City. This was something he had never experienced before. He had been struggling to survive in the slums since he was seven or eight years old, until he met Sister Nan who took him away from there.

He knew from the beginning that he didn't have the talent to be an assassin. Because he didn't eat well when he was a child, he was underdeveloped, thin and weak, and had very few missions completed in his short two or three years as an assassin.

So much so that he could only watch helplessly as Sister Nan died. After he swallowed his anger and set up one trap after another to kill the official's son who had killed Sister Nan, he himself died from serious injuries.

"No matter what... I will never let this tragedy happen again."

At this moment, the master had transformed into a spirit form. Now, she needed to maintain her magic power as much as possible in order to prepare for the remaining battle.

Ryudouji Temple is very far from Fuyuki City. In the original story, the head priest of Ryudouji Temple, Ryudou Kazunari, walked to Hogunen Academy in Fukayama Town every day, which, in his words, took two hours each day.

This shows the location of Ryudong Temple. Even though the Porsche drove very fast, it still took a full half hour. By the time we arrived at Ryudong Temple, the last rays of the setting sun had disappeared, and the streetlights had been turned on sometime earlier.

"What a strong smell of blood."

Before even reaching the steps leading to Ryudo Temple, Shen Qiu's extraordinary senses detected a stench of blood mixed with the smell of decay. On his way there, he had heard that Ryudo Temple had been closed for four days.

It's likely that all the monks in the temple have met with misfortune.

"You've come, my grandson. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A hoarse and dry voice came from inside the temple, and then the gate of Liudong Temple slowly opened. However, the moment Shen Qiu saw the dirty inkstone, his eyes widened to their maximum size.

"You're insane! How could you, how could you..."

Standing in front of Shen Qiu was clearly not Zouken Matou, but Antonio Salieri! However, the voice coming from Salieri's voice was indeed that of Zouken Matou.

Salieri's body has been taken over by the dirty inkstone!

"Ah, look at my body, it's truly wonderful. The bodies of Heroic Spirits are so powerful, so incredibly powerful. Compared to them, humans are like ants that can be crushed at will."

Ignoring the shocked Shen Qiu, Zou Yan was somewhat intoxicated by the powerful body he possessed. After using the insect magic to prolong his life, he had long forgotten what it felt like to be "human".

An hour ago, the Great Hollow appeared.

“That little thing summoned Scáthach, the queen of the Land of Shadows. I believe you know how powerful that woman is, so I’m telling you, the winner of this Holy Grail War is very likely to be him.”

Upon seeing Angolan Mainyu appear, Zang Yan smiled coldly. This foolish creature knew nothing of scheming. As long as he appeared, he was confident he could persuade him.

"So what? Whoever obtains the Holy Grail, as long as I make a wish, I will appear in this world." Angra Mainyu seemed indifferent after hearing Zouken's words. In any case, his birth seemed to be an indisputable fact.

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, Angolan Mainyu, no, all the evil of this world, I want to know, what if he has no wishes? Do you want to wait another sixty years?"

As if he had heard something funny, Zouken burst into laughter.

"How could no one have made a wish? They participated in this Holy Grail War precisely because they had wishes they wanted to fulfill. Humans are greedy, insanely demanding creatures; their desires are endless, which is why they seek help from the Holy Grail."

At this moment, Angra Mainyu was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and began to argue with Matou Zouken.

In his previous life, he was just a pitiful young man who had suffered all kinds of punishments in an ignorant village. He hadn't even read many books. When facing a cunning old fox like Matou Zouken who had lived for five hundred years, he was full of loopholes.

"Hahaha, you're the fool, Angolan Mainyu. You've only lived for less than twenty years, what do you know? You have such limited knowledge of the world, your vision is so narrow that it makes me feel sorry for you. There are too many people in this world without any desires."

"There are all kinds of people in this world. There are even many people who just want to experience the Holy Grail War. Like that Rider Master named Waver, who actually participated in the Holy Grail War to prove himself to his teacher. Have you ever heard of such a stupid reason?"

Seeing that Angra Mainyu's expression was becoming increasingly grim, Zouken Matou knew that his plan was beginning to succeed.

P.S.: Please give me flowers! Waaaaaah! I'm begging you all!

Chapter 62: Deadly Battle - Zouken Matou (Part 1)

"What you need to give is nothing more than a trivial matter, something that has no impact on you whatsoever. If I succeed, it will bring about your birth; if I fail, you can verify the truth of what I'm saying. How about it?"

Zouken Matou's words seemed to possess a magical allure, seducing Angra Mainyu. After much deliberation, he chose to believe Zouken.

Having replaced Justiza as the central figure of the Holy Grail, he could use a small portion of the Third Law, thus replacing Antonio Salieri. Zouken Matou, who had taken over his body, appeared.

"You killed those monks too, didn't you?"
