The Dimensional Book of Collapse

Caster was the last servant to be summoned. The Holy Grail War began when the seven servants gathered. Now it all depends on who will take action first.

"Yulandel, put on this helmet. It can help you hide your identity."

Qin Mo took out the Lancelot helmet that he used to wear. Funny enough, this time the helmet was about to meet its original owner.

Yulandel didn't act pretentiously. She put on the helmet given by Qin Mo and took the long sword given by Qin Mo.

Qin Mo hadn't thought of it yet. He originally thought that Yulandel should be good at weapons like the knight's gun. After all, in the game, several of Yulandel's characters except the Immortal Star Anchor all use the knight's gun.

I didn't expect that Yulandel was proficient in all weapons. Now, her best weapon is not the gun, but the sword.

Qin Mo took out an A-level longsword that he had just drawn today, and handed the Michaela Knight Sword to Yulandel.

"Use this sword first."

"it is good."

After taking Michaela's Knight Sword, Youlandel didn't ask any further questions, but Qin Mo still explained the abilities of Michaela's Knight Sword.

As a weapon, Mikaela Knight Sword is too gorgeous. It is inlaid with amber from the sacred tree, and it does not look like a pure weapon.

"This sword can be injected with magic to stimulate the power of the amber above it, and then strike a divine blow."

Unable to put the equipment into the equipment bar, even Qin Mo could not fully exert its power and could only rely on his own control, not to mention Youlandel.

After giving some instructions again, with a surge of magic power, Qin Mo put on a set of armor.

Qin Mo has been trapped in a misunderstanding all along. The magic called projection never said that it could only project swords, nor did it say that it could only project weapons. It was just that Qin Mo limited himself due to what he had seen before.

The two people who concealed their identities walked towards the Matou residence.

An invisible wave swept through the surroundings, and the familiars that were monitoring the Matou residence died instantly, losing consciousness and falling from the trees and rooftops.

What did he do?

Qin Mo controlled the output of the Conqueror's Haki. Although it was enough to stun some small animals, it could not stun humans. However, a wave of momentum swept over and was still noticed by Yulandel. Seeing the small animals falling around, Yulandel once again raised her evaluation of Qin Mo to a higher level.

"Brother Qin Mo is so amazing. He solved all the familiars in an instant."

Medea's voice rang in Yulandel's ears.

"A familiar?"

From her previous understanding of the basic knowledge, she also knew what a familiar was.

Qin Mo, who had taken out a knight's sword at some point, walked to the front of the Matou house and raised the sword in his hand.

Following a crisp sound, Yulandel seemed to hear the sound of something being shattered.

"You actually...destroyed the barrier with sheer violence!?"

Chapter 8: Destroying the Old Bug

As the base camp of the Matou family, one of the three great families, it is impossible not to prepare for defense.

However, the barrier that had been passed down by the Matou family for hundreds of years was destroyed by Qin Mo in an instant, and the barrier failed to play its role at all.

No, it did work, because the moment the barrier was destroyed, the people inside had already noticed Qin Mo, the intruder.

But this is equivalent to nothing, because Qin Mo did not hide anything, and his behavior was no different from kicking the door of someone else's house open.

"Unknown magician, what is your purpose in coming to the Matou family?"

Instead of rushing into the Matou house at the fastest speed, Qin Mo walked towards the gate of the Matou house with his sword in hand as if he was strolling in a garden. A short old man was already standing there.

"If it's my purpose... to kill you."

He raised the sword in his hand. Although he was talking to Matou Zouken, at this moment he had fully deployed his Observation Haki and breath perception to determine the location of all living things in the mansion.

It really means not letting go of a single mosquito.

There are no mice or other insects in the Matou Mansion, because these things will become nutrients for the engraved insects. At this time, there is the presence of three humans and one servant in the Matou Mansion.

It seems that Matou Tsuruno and Matou Shinji have gone out to seek refuge because of the Holy Grail War.

Although they had no talent, the family business still needed to be managed, so Matou Zouken did not let them stay in the Matou house.

"This sword...you are not a magician!"

Matou Zouken stared at the sword in Qin Mo's hand for a long time before realizing something.

"You're a Servant!? Could it be Saber!? You're showing up on the first day. What a stupid choice! Doesn't your Master know not to barge into a magician's magic workshop casually?"

After determining the other party's identity, Matou Zouken snorted coldly and knocked the ground heavily with the cane in his hand.

Although he knew that the other party's behavior was against the rules, after all, he was not a participant in the Holy Grail War, but he also had his own ideas. The other party was on his territory, and he had also summoned a berserker. If he could capture this servant, given the Matou family's understanding of the Command Seals, it would not be impossible to change its ownership and contract to their hands.

As Matou Zouken's cane struck down, countless insects swarmed out from every corner.

Matou Zouken had to admit that the servant in front of him was quite capable. He actually cut the house's barrier in half with one sword. But it didn't matter, the remaining part was still enough to sustain the consumption of the insects.

Judging from the opponent's appearance, he should be a servant who is good at hand-to-hand combat. Facing a large number of small insects...

boom!

Qin Mo held the holy sword horizontally in front of him, completely ignoring the insects rushing towards him, and gently stroked the sword with his left hand.

"This sword is the embodiment of the sun, and it can burn away all filth."

In the eyes of everyone, a fierce flame burned on Qin Mo's Holy Sword.

"Nani!"

When Matou Zouken realized that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw the insect, it was too late.

"Excalibur Galatine!"

He swung the flaming sword in his hand with one hand, and flames instantly surged out.

Matou Zouken could only hastily use magic to protect himself, but the insects were not so lucky and were instantly burned to ashes by the flames.

However, the magic defense put up by Matou Zouken was not even as good as the barrier of the house itself, and it was almost instantly shattered in the ten-thousand-degree high temperature flames.

“Kareya! What are you waiting for? Don’t you want to save that little girl?!”

"Tsk, berserker!"

Although he hated that Zouken Matou was killed by this unknown heroic spirit, he had to take action for Sakura, because he knew how difficult Zouken Matou was to kill. After obtaining the Berserker, he had thought about resisting Zouken Matou, but even he couldn't do it.

This body is not Zouken Matou's real body at all. Even if Lancelot kills this body instantly, Zouken Matou will not die. On the contrary, the crested worms on his body and Sakura's body are still being controlled by the other party.

Therefore, he could only ask Berserker to help defeat the unknown servant.

Faced with the attack that looked like a treasure, Lancelot rushed out directly. The knight's ability to not die with bare hands was activated, and black magic with red lines spread across the surface of the door, blocking the raging flames.

But even so, it cannot be completely resisted.

Matou Kariya, who was unable to move at the beginning because the engraving worms in his body began to move and gnaw at his body, was fine. However, the body of Matou Zouken, who was in the front, was directly melted by the heat wave. He turned into insects and tried to escape, but was ignited and then turned into ashes in the high temperature of ten thousand degrees.

"Ugh!!!"

Matou Kariya at the back screamed. Although he was not directly attacked, the berserker's instinctive use of magic to resist the heat wave was constantly draining his life.

He had no talent to begin with, but now he was able to become a Master entirely because of the Crest Bug of Matou Zouken in his body, which replaced the magic circuits to generate magic power.

The magic power produced by the engraving worms is not as gentle as the magic circuits. They are usually in a dormant state. Once they start using magic power, they will begin to gnaw on the host's vitality and flesh and blood, and all of this is accompanied by great pain.

The originally young Matou Kariya now has gray hair, wrinkles all over his face, and even one of his eyes is blind. It is because too much vitality has been devoured that even if he does not die in this Holy Grail War, he will not survive these few days.

"Silly goose! Stop him! I'm going to go after the old bug!"

After all, Qin Mo was using a fake Rotating Sword of Victory, but he had noticed that the old bug had begun to escape. As expected of an old creature that had lived for hundreds of years, he had already judged his disadvantage at the first moment and gave up counterattacking directly.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me stupid goose?"

Having said that, Yulandel still used her sword to block Lancelot who was swinging the door panel.

She could even feel the burning breath coming from Lancelot. He was wrapped in black armor. Yulandel doubted whether his body under the armor was about to be cooked.

But looking at Lancelot's armor, she felt that it looked familiar...

"Who...are you?"

When Qin Mo stepped into the Matou residence, Matou Kariya, who was unable to stand because Lancelot was frantically draining magic power to recover his body and fight, leaned against the shoe cabinet, stared at Qin Mo and said these words.

"Kill the old bug, save Sakura. If you don't want to die, then control that berserker guy."

Qin Mo didn't explain too much. He felt that many insects seemed to have left the house through some tunnels.

But this did not bother him.

The speed of the rabbit talisman exploded instantly, and Qin Mo arrived at the underground insect hole in an instant. The gate blocking the way was directly split open by a sword, and he was not blocked for a second.

"Want to escape? You're thinking too much."

Having already entered the Matou residence, Qin Mo no longer concealed his abilities, and his surging domineering aura burst out directly.

boom!

The violent and domineering impact even caused some cracks to appear on the solid basement.

As for the insects that were escaping through the cracks and passages around, they were severely crushed by the domineering aura. The stronger ones were just knocked unconscious, while the weaker ones were directly crushed.

Following the domineering aura was a raging flame, which completely burned these guys to ashes...

Chapter 9 Treatment

"Are you guys... telling the truth..."

Although he lost one eye and half of the muscles on his face were necrotic, he could not suppress the expression of surprise on Matou Kariya's face.

After Qin Mo dealt with all the engraved bugs that tried to escape, he returned to the first floor. The battle between Yulandel and Lancelot finally ended with the defeat of Matou Kariya.

Lancelot had already endured Qin Mo's first wave of attacks and continued to consume Matou Kariya's magic power to repair himself. Coupled with the high-intensity battle, Matou Kariya soon could not withstand the gnawing of the engraving bugs and fell down.

Lancelot also entered spiritual form due to problems with his magic power.

After telling Matou Kariya the purpose of his visit, he was very surprised.

But after the surprise, he became alert again because he couldn't believe that someone would come to help him.

"I'm not trying to help you, I just can't stand this kind of thing. Besides, we just arrived in Fuyuki City, so we need a place to stay and some funds."

After saying this, Matou Kariya suddenly realized that the other party's main purpose was to occupy a piece of advantageous geographical location. The Matou family has been entrenched in Fuyuki City for many years. Although their land veins are not as good as those of the Tousaka family, it is also a good place. If they use the land veins here to build a barrier, it would also be a good choice.

"So that's how it is. I'm willing to pay the berserker's contract, but I only ask that you don't hurt Sakura."

The oldest person present, Matou Kariya, was kneeling on the ground. The reason he participated in the Holy Grail War was to save Sakura. Although he did not save Sakura personally, now that Matou Zouken had been eliminated, his goal had been achieved.

He himself didn't have much time to live, and originally wanted to use the berserker to take revenge on Tōsaka Tokiomi before he died, but now, he only hoped to exchange it for a bargaining chip to let Sakura live.

"We were..."

Yulandel was stopped by Qin Mo just as she opened her mouth. Although their original plan was to save Sakura and the other things were just incidental, why not fight for more if they could gain something?

Do good things to others and make them feel grateful?

This is an idea that only people who have not been hit hard by reality would have.

However, there is really nothing that can be exploited from Matou Kariya.

"I heard that there should be another Matou Tsuruno in the Matou family, right?"

"Brother... he doesn't have the talent of a magus, so during the Holy Grail War, Matou Zouken asked him to live outside and take care of the family business. He doesn't have the slightest talent of a magus, so he won't participate in the Holy Grail War."

Although the two brothers made different choices, Matou Kariya still wanted to protect his eldest brother, who is now the nominal head of the Matou family.

It was as if God was punishing the Matou family. The magical talent of the Matou family became worse and worse with each generation. In Matou Kariya's generation, only Kariya had some talent, but he chose to escape and ran away from home.

As Matou Tsuruno had absolutely no talent for magic, he was abandoned and left to manage the ordinary family businesses.

"I know, we won't cause trouble to irrelevant people, but we are new here, we have no place to stay in Fuyuki, and we have no funds, so you understand."

Matou Kariya has been working on his own outside in the past few years, so he is quite knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships.

"I understand. I will contact my eldest brother. You can use the assets of the Matou family in Fuyuki City as you wish."

Although he just wanted some money, since the other party said so, Qin Mo didn't know what to say.

"Matou Kariya, you are very sensible. I will not beat around the bush with you. Your purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War is to rescue Sakura from the clutches of Matou Zouken, right?"

The half of Matou Kariya's face that was still able to move twitched for a moment, and then he figured something out.
