What do you want, Shuoyue?"
Facing Matou Kariya's incredulous question, Sakutsuki showed a bright childish smile and declared loudly like a devil:
"Of course - blow up this insect cave!"
Without waiting for Kariya to react, the 84mm-diameter rocket drew a brilliant arc, pierced through several precarious lines of defense, and hit the Matou family's residence!
"Boom!"
At the moment the fire exploded, the young man with golden eyes cheered, holding a large pile of incendiary bombs that had appeared in his arms at some point, and rushed into the gloomy foreign-style building, facing the flames.
"Blow them all up for you!"
"Wait a minute! Don't go over there!" Seeing his home destroyed, Yanye didn't know whether he was happy or sad. He just rushed into the house in a fit of excitement, following the footsteps of his young travel companion.
Explosion, explosion, explosion.
Flame, flame, flame.
Amid this devastating scene, the wailing sounds of countless arthropods echoed throughout the mansion.
Eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults.
Wriggling, crawling, flapping wings.
The dense swarm of insects, like a black wave, sensed the deadly crisis and fled from their hiding places, moving towards the door desperately.
Then - the merciless flames burned them to ashes.
"Haha, huhuhahaha!" The young man laughed wildly, and the flamethrower in his hand spit out tongues of fire that were dozens of meters long, sweeping across everything around him, and turning all the filth and all the unbearableness into the red lotus's karmic fire.
Behind him, Matou Kariya watched all this happen with fear and trepidation, as if he had gotten to know this young travel companion all over again—
Just now, he watched Shuoyue throw away the last incendiary bomb, and then conjured up such a dangerous weapon out of thin air, killing everyone in this foreign-style building and destroying all the mysterious factors.
Until now, there was only one thought in his mind - why hasn't this broken house collapsed yet!
"I wonder who visited the Matou family. You actually used such a despicable weapon. It seems that you have really fallen, Einzbern!"
In the firelight, a short old man appeared in front of Sakutsuki and Matou Kariya. The flames around him went out as if in fear, and the shadow of the years once again shrouded him.
"Matou...Zouyan." Matou Kariya glared at the head of the family with eyes full of anger.
In fact, even he did not know the real age of this old man. According to the household registration, he was the father of the Kariya brothers, but strangely, according to the family tree records, his great-grandfather and the ancestors three generations before him were also named Zōken.
No one knows how many generations this old man has ruled the Matou family.
An immortal magician who uses unspeakable horrific methods to extend his lifespan time and time again, the ancestor of the Matou family bloodline that Kariya hates the most, and a living monster that has survived to the modern era - this is Matou Zouken.
Whenever he thought of the introverted little girl who always hid behind her sister falling into the hands of this monster and suffering a cruel fate, an irrepressible impulse surged in Kariya's body. He wished he could pounce on this evil magician right now, use all his strength to pinch his wrinkled neck, and then twist it hard.
But Kariya was also very clear. No matter how thin or old he was, Zōken was still a magician after all, and it would be easy for him to kill Kariya on the spot. If he resorted to force, Kariya would have absolutely no chance of winning.
A cold light flashed, and the moment he dropped the flamethrower, Shuoyue had already grasped Gan Jiang and Moye, and cut the body in half at inhuman speed.
"You old thing should just roll back into the ground. You are just like Eubusta Kuhaid von Einzbern, full of the smell of decay." The young man, who finally showed his imposing aura, stared at the old man's body that was cut open from top to bottom, and said coldly:
"You deserve to die, Machiri Zorgen!"
Chapter 18: The Thirty-Ninth Origin Bullet
Matou Zouken
[Character Information]: Originally named Machiri Zorgen, he participated in the construction of the Greater Holy Grail two hundred years ago and was one of the founders of the Holy Grail War. He refused to die in order to realize his long-cherished wish and has always been the de facto head of the Matou family. After a long time, his soul gradually deteriorated, his will and memory were forgotten or deteriorated, and he gradually reversed his means and goals, becoming a villain who pursues immortality.
[Hidden Intelligence]: Insufficient conditions
Recording conditions
1. Save Matou Sakura from Matou Zouken. (Not achieved)
2. Completely kill Matou Zouken. (Not achieved)
Machiri Zorgen.
When this ancient name was mentioned, the shadow that had shrouded this family for hundreds of years seemed to be completely enraged. Countless insects swarmed out of the basement, extinguished the flames, and outlined a deep black outline.
The skinny old man walked out from the swarm of insects, with the corners of his mouth twisted and raised, and there was no human emotion at all on his monster-like smiling face.
"How did you know that name?"
In response, he was spit out tongues of fire from the flamethrower.
But this time, Matou Zouken, whose pain point was touched, did not intend to endure it, but instead revealed an evil grin:
"Although the mystery is fading now, it is too naive to think that you can defeat me with such a weapon, kid!"
Matou Zouken's skinny fingers moved slightly, and a black cloud flew out from the swarm of insects swimming under his feet. It flashed with a faint blue luster under the blessing of magic, ignoring the heat of the flames, and even absorbed the raging flames at an astonishing speed. It was not even satisfied and pounced towards Sakutsuki and Matou Kariya.
"Hey, hey, what should we do? Even fire can't deal with these bugs!" Matou Kirei, who already had a shadow on Bug-sama, suddenly panicked.
"Why are you panicking? Do you think I only know how to use technology?" Shuoyue threw the flamethrower away and raised his right hand. "They can't hurt me!"
The swarm of insects turned into a faint light and attacked. Behind them, the old man laughed strangely:
"So Einzbern has become this stupid - this is my magic workshop!"
The so-called workshop is a kind of "different world" created by magicians to hone their magic. No matter how powerful a magician is, as long as he is not the owner of the workshop, the magic or mystery he performs will be greatly restricted, and vice versa, it will be greatly enhanced.
If the Magic Crest is an organ created inside, then the Workshop is a new alien world created outside.
For example, in the battle when Shuoyue captured Einzbern, Ahadeon used the power of the workshop to suppress Shuoyue's magic. If Shuoyue had not cut off the power of the earth veins, even the inherent barrier could not be opened.
For example... with the mysterious power, it's like carrying a magic studio with you, and you can use the replacement magic and modified Shuoyue.
When the two magic workshops collide, what matters most, besides the sophistication of their weaving, is the degree of mystery.
How can the Endsworth family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, be compared with the Matou family, which has only a few hundred years of history?
But the magic of replacement has other uses.
"Covering the seven rings of Blazing Sky!"
The seven petals unfolded layer by layer, blocking the overwhelming tide of insects outside. Under the light and shadow of the confrontation between the two magics, Matou Zouken's expression became extremely ugly.
"Is this a secret treasure? Concept weapon? No, this aura is... a treasure!!!"
As the creator of the Holy Grail system, even if Zouken Matou has forgotten his original intention, he will never forget the terrifying power possessed by those summoned familiars!
“You are a Servant? Did you sign a contract with my grandson? No, that’s impossible! This piece of trash is not qualified at all!” Matou Zouken’s tone was full of astonishment, and he even denied his own guess. You can imagine how confused he was. “There is still a year before the Holy Grail War begins. How is it possible for a Servant to appear now!”
In response, Shuoyue smiled without saying anything, but turned his head and looked at Yanye behind him.
"How is it, how does it feel to have your home destroyed?"
Matou Kariya came back to his senses and looked at the flames all around him, especially at Matou Zouken who was gritting his teeth in front of him. After a long while, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "To be honest, I have never felt so good before!"
"You?" Matou Zouken had calmed down at this time, and looked at his junior with contempt in his eyes, "A loser who escaped from here, do you think that relying on this Servant who came from nowhere, you can defeat me and the accumulation of the Matou family for a hundred years?"
You know, in his own magic workshop, even a second-rate magician has the confidence to fight with ordinary servants, not to mention him, an old monster who has lived for more than two hundred years!
He slammed the wooden staff in his hand against the ground hard, and the power of the Magic Workshop was fully mobilized. Countless defensive moves surged towards Sakutsuki and Matou Kariya. Although the petal shield projected by Sakutsuki was still strong, it could not hold on for long.
However, even at this point, Sakutsuki was still talking to Kariya with a smile:
"Do you hate Matou Zouken?"
"Of course!"
"Do you want to protect Sakura, the child of the one you love?"
"Of course!"
"Want to shoot this old bug in the head?"
"Ah, I couldn't ask for more!"
In the face of the crisis, Matou Kariya no longer cared about so many things. With red eyes, he took the pistol handed over by Sakutsuki and pointed it at the old man who embodied his lifelong hatred, disgust and contempt.
"It's just a shell." Even though the gun was pointed at his head, Matou Zouken still maintained his unhappy smile, "You are so brave, you dare to point your paws at me - aren't you afraid that I will kill the child of the Tohsaka family?"
Kariya's hand holding the gun began to tremble.
Yes, his original purpose was to save Sakura, but now the entire Matou residence was almost razed to the ground. Where was Sakura? Where was she?
"Ah, you mean this child."
A voice like the sound of nature rang out, and Shuoyue in front of him turned around. In his arms, a little black-haired girl (who had not yet undergone the transformation of the Matou family) appeared, sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed.
If it’s not Sakura, the one Kariya has been thinking about, then who could it be?
"No, how is it possible!" Faced with such an unexpected situation, Matou Zouken completely lost his composure, "I clearly locked her in the basement! When did you rescue her, and how did you avoid my detection!"
"No comment." Sakutsuki gave the old bug a very provocative smile, then patted Matou Kariya on the shoulder, "It's your turn."
"Haha...hahahaha! Old thing, you've come to this day too!" After Sakutsuki rescued Sakura with replacement magic, Matou Kariya no longer had any worries. He laughed wildly and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
The bullet broke the sound barrier and hit Matou Zouken's head without any hindrance, causing him to fly backwards like a rag sack.
But the old man's sinister voice was still ringing: "It's useless, my foolish offspring. I've said it before, it's just a bag of skin... Oh! Ohhhhh! Uaaaaaaaaaa——!"
The words turned into a scream at the end, a sharp, ghostly sound that suddenly exploded in the Matou family!
"You, what did you do!" At this moment, Matou Zouken felt that his whole body was burning. His magic circuits were destroyed and violently entangled together, completely unable to recover!
Even Matou Kariya did not realize that his shot would cause such great damage. With his mouth slightly open, he subconsciously aimed at the fallen old bug and pulled the trigger.
Click, the sound is crisp.
“Don’t press it. I’ve prepared one bullet for you.” Shuoyue stopped Yanye, his expression helpless but also proud. “Although the 38th round was empty, at least the 39th Origin Bullet destroyed a thing that’s over 300 years old. It doesn’t disgrace the reputation of the Origin Bullet.”
Origin bomb, Emiya Kiritsugu's strongest outfit.
Since they have been in Einzbern for a week, how could Sakutsuki not get such good things from Kiritsugu papa?
In the dazzling fire, the young man with golden eyes looked at the old man lying on the ground, with a trace of pity hidden in his cold eyes.
Under the Origin Bomb, the more powerful the magician, the faster he dies.
This time, Matou Zouken's life finally came to an end.
Years have passed, Tousaka Nagato is dead, Einzbern is stuck in his ways, and the Winter Saint has disappeared. Why are you willing to turn yourself into an alien, going against your original wish, rather than die? "
The young man stared at him, as if he was looking at the glory that had passed away.
"Answer me, Makiri Zolgen."
Please vote for recommendation and collect it, friends!
Chapter 19 Coach, I want to learn magic!
Why?
Why don't you want to die?
Enduring pain every day, unable to bask in the sun, living in this inhuman way is more painful than death.
We can be freed from the pain if it ends, but why do we keep holding on to all the pain and clinging to life?
I remembered.
That's right. Initially, it was for a noble purpose.
To eradicate all evil and to seek miracles.
"The world is hopeless. If we as human beings cannot stop sinning..."
"If Utopia is a place that humans cannot reach..."
"Then seek things beyond human beings, and find new forms of human beings."
"Yes, we will devote our lives to eradicating all evil from the world."
Grasp everything in your hands. Understand all truths and reach a place no one has ever been before. Go beyond the limited body and reach the infinity of the soul.
The species called human beings. Confined by pre-defined boundaries, they want to escape from this endlessly spinning spiral. All hatred and pain are for healing and elimination.
——I remember now.
After learning the sorrow that there is no paradise, if this world is empty, if even the creation of a physical body is not allowed, then rise up and head for a place where it can be allowed.
It's not about creating a completely new world, but about transforming ourselves and human life into something new.
--to this end.
