The Dimensional Book of Collapse

"Yes."

Although he didn't know how he was exposed, he was at the mercy of others and had no choice.

“Well, Matou Kariya, I’ll give you a chance. You must be extremely resentful right now. You resent Tokiomi who took Aoi away and pushed Sakura into the Matou family that you try to avoid. You resent that old bug who has always been oppressing you brothers. You resent yourself for being unable to save Sakura. In order to save her, you can only feed the bugs with your own body and turn yourself into a half-human, half-ghost. Even if you are not killed in this Holy Grail War, you will not live for a few days. Am I right?”

"Hehe... I don't know how you know these things, but you are right. What's the point of talking about this now? I am already a useless person."

There was no hysteria as imagined. Although Qin Mo wanted to stir up Matou Kariya's emotions, he was still completely immature in this regard.

"Are you satisfied with this? After your death, can Sakura, whose physique has been transformed by the old bug, really return to her original life? Don't you want to take revenge on the culprit who caused all this, Tōsaka Tokiomi? Someone once said that everyone lives to overcome anxiety and fear and to feel at ease. Dying like this, unable to do what you wanted to do yourself, can this make you feel at ease? Kariya."

The two familiar names caused the only pupil of Matou Kariya that was still reactive to shrink slightly: "So what? What else do you want me to do? I also want to protect Aoi! Protect Sakura! And take revenge on that hypocritical Tokiomi! But...but I have nothing left!"

Perhaps he had given up on himself, as Matou Kariya said such words without any scruples. Fortunately, Sakura was locked upstairs because of an intruder and did not hear this conversation.

"Then come and follow me, and I will grant you eternal peace of mind."

"..."

Facts have proved that not everyone can win people's hearts by reciting DIO's lines like him. At least, it's awkward for Qin Mo to imitate him.

Even Yulandel didn't know when she retreated to the wall.

However, compared to DIO, who constantly doubts the loyalty of his subordinates, makes empty promises to them, and even plants granulation plants on them, Qin Mo has some practical advice.

"Medea!"

"Come here, what do you want me to do?"

The spiritual Medea had been following Yulandel, and immediately showed up when she heard Qin Mo's call.

Although she felt that Qin Mo's posture and words just now were very strange, Medea did not think too much about it. She just thought that this might be the way adults do things.

"Use your Noble Phantasm on him."

Qin Mo pointed at Matou Yanye who was slumped on the ground leaning against the wall and said.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Matou Kariya, who had been unable to speak when Medea sacrificed herself, felt that his brain, which had been corroded by the Crest Worms, was almost unable to think.

What combination is this?

A man who looks like a Saber, a woman who can fight with a Berserker, and a girl who looks like a Caster.

This combination... has already won half the battle in this Holy Grail War!

"Just be still, there are a lot of worms in your body, and the treatment may be painful."

Chapter 10: Surrender

Matou Kariya's body is already filled with imprinted worms. His bone marrow and blood, whenever he spits out blood, contains a large number of larvae or eggs.

Normal healing magic had absolutely no effect on him.

Because the effect of healing is nothing more than creating vitality, and these vitality are the food of the marking worms, and they will even devour the magic power itself.

But Medea's All Flaws Must Be Repaired is different. This is a miracle called a Noble Phantasm, the sublimation of the legend of the heroic spirit. Moreover, the staff in Medea's hand was given to her by her teacher. It is a treasure that can be called a divine weapon.

The effect of repairing all flaws is like turning back time. Under the power of the treasure, the crested worms in Matou Kariya's body are constantly squeezed out from his mouth, nose, ears, and even pores.

The scene was extremely bloody and...disgusting.

Medea was so frightened that she closed her eyes, but she was kind-hearted and wanted to save the person in front of her, so even though she was extremely physically and mentally repulsed, she did not stop activating her Noble Phantasm.

Qin Mo directly activated the Demonic Flame, controlling the temperature so that these disgusting insects were burned as soon as they left Matou Kariya's body, and even their blood was evaporated.

An unpleasant burning smell echoed in the Matou residence.

It was constantly being destroyed and then repaired, a process that took several minutes to complete.

"Finally... it's done."

After the treatment, Medea rushed out of the Matou house.

"I'll take care of her."

After leaving a word, Youlandel left this place filled with a bad smell. Judging from the noise outside, it seemed that she was vomiting, but because of the physique of the heroic spirit, it could only turn into dry heaves in the end.

“How do you feel, Matou Kariya?”

Shaking his head, Qin Mo looked at Matou Kariya who had just lay on the ground like a dead fish due to extreme pain.

The pain just now was enough to make anyone suffer a mental breakdown.

However, the experience of violently transforming his physique in the insect hole over the past year has made him accustomed to this pain.

At this time, he was physically completely healthy, the only problem he had was the mental torture he was suffering from.

After catching his breath for a while, he got up from the ground and looked at the bloodstains and charred ground burned by the flames. The corpses of the insects were no longer visible, leaving only some traces to prove their existence.

"My body...is now healed."

He looked at his body. It had been a long time since he had felt healthy again. It was even healthier than before he entered the insect cave.

“How about following me? Will you feel at ease? Matou Kariya…”

Matou Kirei, who originally thought that the other party was just a powerful chuunibyou, immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Qin Mo. Originally, he just surrendered to him for Sakura's survival, but at this moment, he really saw the hope of saving Sakura.

Imitating the pose that Lancelot had once struck, he knelt on one knee like a knight and lowered his head.

"Sir, I am willing to follow you and never betray you. I only ask that you save Sakura."

……

Although the process of treating Matou Kariya was disgusting, Medea still did not refuse to treat Sakura.

After all, compared to her personal likes and dislikes, she still wants to help others more.

But before that...

"Are you telling the truth? The old man named Matou Zouken is hiding in Sakura's heart?"

How can you survive with a worm in your heart? Youlandel couldn't understand.

"When have I ever lied to you? Do you think I call him Old Bug because he plays with bugs? It's because he really is a bug now."

In order to confirm Qin Mo's words, Matou Kariya also chimed in, "Yes, the old bug's ability to protect his life is very strong, no one can kill him. If he is hiding in Xiaoying's body as a bug... This is not impossible, damn old bug!"

Even Matou Kariya followed Qin Mo in calling Matou Zouken "old bug". The Matou family can be said to have suffered from the old bug for a long time. If they can get rid of the old bug, I think everyone except the ignorant Matou Shinji would be willing to do so.

However, this is impossible. Matou Zouken's ability to preserve his life is too strong. Even if others kill him, he will appear again, making people think that he cannot be killed at all.

"It's really disgusting, hiding in a girl's heart, but... I don't know if my Noble Phantasm can get him out."

Medea was a little unconfident. After all, Matou Zouken was not an ordinary bug like those.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the old bug's real body. Just keep an eye on the surroundings and don't let him escape. Of course, this is just in case."

Qin Mo had already figured out what to do when he came.

Medea asked with some concern: "Brother Qin Mo, can your magic power still hold up? The treasure just now has consumed a lot of magic power."

In the past, Medea's Noble Phantasm would not take so long to activate, but treating Matou Kariya was not a simple repair, but rather a continuous creation of flesh and blood to squeeze out the bugs, and then repair it, repeating this process over and over again, so it took so long.

"Don't worry, I still have enough magic power."

It is more than enough, it is simply abundant. Not to mention Qin Mo's physical potential developed by God's grace, the unique skills brought by those graces are constantly restoring his magic power and physical strength.

It was outrageous. The act of burning those engraved bugs was also judged as a battle, so Qin Mo's huge recovery that could only be triggered during battle was also triggered. Although he couldn't say that he could maintain a balance with Medea's magic consumption, he dared to say that if he kept the battle at a low intensity, he could allow Medea to use her magic unscrupulously for half an hour before she could drain him dry.

"This is it, Sakura's room."

After opening the door with the key, they saw a little purple-haired girl sitting in the room in a daze.

"Sakura..."

Hearing Matou Kariya's call, Sakura raised her head in a daze and looked at the four people at the door with empty eyes.

“Uncle Yanye, you look…”

The first person Sakura saw was the returned to normal Matou Kariya. The original Matou Kariya's hair had turned gray, which was a sign of overdrawn vitality, but for Xianza, the gray hair had completely recovered.

"Uncle Kariya has found people who can save Sakura. They are these brothers and sisters. Sakura will never have to go to the Bug Cave again."

Matou Kariya tried his best to put on a kind expression and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Really."

Even after hearing such news, Sakura's expression did not change. Due to the mental trauma, the emotions of this six-year-old child have become very dull.

“Yes, but it will be a little painful during the treatment, but it will be fine after the treatment. Look at me now, Uncle Kariya.”

Although her emotions were suppressed, Sakura could still see the changes in Kariya.

"Then where is Grandpa..."

"Don't worry, Sakura. Matou Zouken will never appear in front of you again."

The one who spoke was Qin Mo, who came around from behind Matou Yanye.

"But he left some troublesome magic on you. I'll help you remove it first, and then let that sister heal you, okay?"

Xiaoying looked at Qin Mo, then looked at Medea who was holding a magic wand behind her, and nodded at Qin Mo.

Chapter 11: Yulandel's Practice

In an apartment in Fuyuki City, a man in black carefully knocked on the door in a specific rhythm.

A short-haired woman opened the door. After confirming who was outside, she quickly opened the padlock inside the door and let the man in. After carefully exploring the surroundings, she closed the door and quickly locked it.

"The entire set of equipment has arrived, Madam and the others have already arrived in Fuyuki and started the operation. This way, the other Masters will think that Madam is Saber's Master."

The short-haired woman walked into the room. The man in black was standing in front of a bed, looking at a pile of ammunition on the bed. After listening to the woman's report, he gave a simple reply.

"I see."

The woman walked over to the TV and turned on the video.

"Last night, there was movement at the Matou family. This is the recorded footage."

What was broadcast on TV was the scene where Qin Mo split the barrier with one sword and released the so-called treasure to attack Matou Zouken.

But after the Noble Phantasm was released, the picture disappeared.

"Because the Noble Phantasm was released, the camera was destroyed."

The man walked over to the TV.

"What do you think?"

The woman gave her own guess: "It was too deliberate. Not only was it a large-scale attack, but it was also too early to release the Noble Phantasm directly. Moreover, it was impossible to infer the opponent's class."

"Well, in the Holy Grail War, hiding the true identity of the Servant is a secret rule of the Holy Grail War. Why is it revealed in front of everyone so ostentatiously? And... the opponent is also a Servant with a sword, but Saber has been summoned by us, so the opponent cannot be Saber."

The man made a guess: "Could it be a berserker? No, he doesn't seem to be acting crazy. The name of the Noble Phantasm he released is the Sword of Rotating Victory. I remember that this should be the sword of Gawain, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table."

"According to the investigation, this is correct."

The man nodded: "Have you shown this video to Saber?"

As King Arthur's Saber, no one in the world knows the Knights of the Round Table better than her.

"Not yet. This just happened last night."

The man nodded: "Then I will take it to Saber to see."

He walked to the bedside, picked up several guns, and got familiar with the feel before asking.

"Where is the thing I asked you to keep?"

"it's here."

The man took a heavy box from the woman and opened it, revealing a special pistol.

After taking it out and debugging it for a while, he fell into deep thought...
