Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

He screamed and looked in the direction of Zouken Matou. Zouken Matou was smiling, smiling as usual, as if nothing had happened.

He screamed and looked in the direction of Araya Sōren. Araya Sōren had a bitter look on his face, but he was very quick to strike. Araya Sōren did not react at all to his pleas for help or his curses.

Shinji raised his voice, hoping to attract the attention of outsiders, but even that failed.

This reminded Shinji of the magic materials he had looked at at home, which seemed to contain techniques to dispel ordinary people.

So...no one will come to save him.

And he was powerless to resist.

In this situation, Shinji was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down his face, but his strongest emotion was not hatred for his grandfather and Araya Sōren, but resentment!

Such power, such an ability that can so easily drive ordinary people to despair...

"Why can't I have it!?"

"If I'm not worthy of it, then why was I born into such a family of magicians!?"

"I'm not willing to give in! I'm not willing to give in!"

He was roaring desperately, as if he were rebelling with his voice, but he could also feel that he was losing control of his body.

He felt like he was going to die.

But at that moment, a voice responded to his insults.

"Indeed, being stuck in the middle is quite uncomfortable—but I really didn't expect that your last words would be like this when you thought you were going to die."

As the sound appeared, a loud bang came from the wall next to it.

Zouken Matou instantly transformed into a swarm of flying insects, quickly moving aside to avoid being hit by the flying stones. Souren Araya also stood up and followed Zouken Matou, arriving beside him...

The wall had already been smashed.

Amidst the billowing dust, a pack of black wolves crawled in from outside the wall, shielding Shinji Matou behind them. Roland then walked to his side, looking at him lying on the ground in shock, tears and snot still on his face, and slowly spoke.

"You're even more interesting than I imagined, so if I could bring you to this world, but you had to give up everything you have now, and then I would take your..."

If my grandfather killed you, and then I wanted you to work for me, would you agree?

Upon hearing Roland's words, Shinji Matou was stunned for a moment, but he quickly endured the pain and got up.

He wasn't always like this.

As a child, he was quite polite, intelligent, and believed that with ability comes responsibility, aiming to become an elite and a wise person.

Because he knew he was different from others.

I come from a family of magicians.

He gave up after he discovered he couldn't use magic anymore.

Even if he were to give up, he would still be an elite among normal people. He would be exceptionally outstanding in both academic performance and ability.

But he knew he could only reach the elite level.

Because he has absolutely no talent for magic.

Shinji Matou, reflecting on his past life, stood with difficulty beside Roland, wiping away his tears and snot, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

"If I had a choice, then I would only ever have one choice..."

He slowly raised his head, met Roland's gaze with his fanatical eyes, and then, despite the difficulty of standing up, he still knelt down formally before Roland, kowtowed to the ground, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"That is—I will pledge my loyalty to you!"

Seeing Shinji Matou like this, Roland smiled.

Zouken Matou's expression turned sour.

As for Araya Sōren, his eyes remained fixed on Roland after he saw her.

He no longer cared about Matou or the Holy Grail War.

Because he witnessed a miracle once again!

His permanent spell didn't work, so he deliberately activated a special probing spell. The spell was activated, but the result was still empty!

This was the second time he had encountered such a situation.

The last time I encountered it was when I was facing Ryougi Shiki.

This means that the guy in front of me is just like Ryougi Shiki, he is also [ ]!

Moreover, unlike Ryougi Shiki, she didn't fall into a coma and can still move freely!

Araya Sōren, who had always felt very unfortunate, now feels very lucky!

so...

This time he will not fail for no reason again!

....

7. Sajō Aika's Doubts

"Are you really that confident you can take us down?"

Zouken Matou looked at Roland, and after his complexion returned to normal, he revealed that same annoying smile he had shown before.

He stood there, and then Araya Sōren stood beside him—to be honest, if a normal magician were to face both of them at the same time, he would have a hard time not only winning but also running away.

but

"I can't say I'm sure, I can only say..."

As Roland spoke, black shadow wolves continuously swarmed into the courtyard through the gap in the wall behind him, and pounced directly towards Zouken Matou and Sōren Araya.

One hundred is indeed not many if they are used as scouts and distributed over a large area.

However, by charging in formation within such a courtyard, the Shadow Wolves created the effect of a massive army on this short route.

Faced with such an attack, Araya Sōren opened his arms and activated his barrier.

Although he hadn't expected this situation to occur, and therefore hadn't made any prior arrangements, rendering his sixty-fourth floor of the Offering Hall unusable, the Six Paths Realm techniques he carried were no ordinary ones.

"Thinking that a pack of wolves like that can accomplish anything? How naive."

Zouken Matou laughed.

Then, with his voice 13, white barriers unfolded in circles beneath Araya Sōren's feet, with incantations engraved within them. As the shadow wolves approached him, white light bands inscribed with incantations extended towards the shadow wolves.

These six realms are in harmony with the barrier of his origin.

It will be deprived of its power the moment it gets close, and thus come to a stop.

After seeing Araya Souren activate his barrier, Matou Zouken also made his move.

He transformed into a swarm of flying insects. As Araya Sōren extended the bands of light, countless flying insects rushed towards the shadow wolves, as well as Roland and Matou Shinji within the wolf pack.

Compared to the shadow wolves released by Roland, their attacks clearly looked more powerful.

If you want a powerful presence, the swarm of insects is impressive; if you want special effects, Araya Sōren's Six Paths Realm has a more magical feel than a pack of wolves.

This scene made Shinji Matou somewhat nervous.

Even so, after he stood up again, he stayed by Roland's side, without turning around and running away or shouting.

Having noticed this, Roland slowly spoke.

"Don't be afraid. As for magic, if you pursue brilliance, you can create even more brilliance effects. But when it comes to battle, the outcome is never determined by how brilliance it is."

As he said this, Roland even turned around, seemingly intending to leave through the gap, completely ignoring Zouken Matou and Sōren Araya.

because...

Although he said it was a battle when he was talking to Shinji, Roland didn't actually see it as a battle at all.

Zouken Matou, and even Souren Araya... were caught off guard and captured in a surprise attack. As magicians, their abilities were effectively reduced to the lowest possible level.

In addition, they were no match for themselves to begin with.

and so.

It's just a formality.

As Roland thought this, the first batch of Shadow Wolves rushing towards Huangye Zonglian emitted red electricity. Then, the barrier was broken the moment it touched them, and it became ineffective on the spot.

Then, without the protection of the barrier, Araya Sōren was pounced on by the Shadow Wolves. Five of them rushed up and tore him to pieces, killing him on the spot.

A magician with an exceptionally high level of skill in creating barriers died just like that.

However, Zouken Matou is much better than Sōren Araya.

The swarm of insects was overwhelming, and none of them were his true form. So even after the Shadow Wolf, which had undergone shadow fusion, spat out golden flames and burned all the insects to ashes, he didn't actually die.

However, this time Roland didn't come alone.

On the other side, Aozaki Touko found the core insect of Matou Zouken, and then Cú Chulainn seized the opportunity and stabbed it to death with a single shot.

Then the swarm of insects located in the Matou family's residence tried to go berserk, but they were trapped in the basement by a spell that Aozaki Touko had prepared in advance.

After that, intense heat exploded in the basement, turning the entire basement into a sea of ​​fire.

Zouken Matou died completely in his own home, without leaving even a trace.
