A sound like an explosion was heard, and it turned directly into a pool of bloody debris.

“Help…Help…!”

The little girl, whose face turned pale and whose limbs were trembling due to fear, seemed to have found a savior.

He desperately grabbed the raised part of Lin Qiao's armor, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Don't worry, I will save you."

The hand covered with golden gauntlets touched the head of the girl beside him.

The hard touch of the hand nails is naturally not good, and the overlapping voice lines are obviously very strange...

But at this moment, in this place that is like a devil's cave, the golden figure is the girl's last hope.

Chapter 554 I'm waiting for the medicine to take effect, what are you waiting for?

"Young people are always full of youthful energy. Relying on the fact that they have learned one or two magic tricks, they tend to have some whimsical and naive ideas."

Looking at Lin Qiao who was protecting Sakura behind him not far away, a laugh similar to the sound of insects rubbing against each other came from Matou Zouken's throat.

"But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of time to teach you about the cruelty between magicians."

"I also hope that your armor can last long enough in the hands of this old familiar."

As the creepy voice of Matou Zouken rang out, the sea of ​​insects in the insect pit, which had been relatively peaceful, suddenly rioted.

How many are there?

Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

But no matter what, the overwhelming number does exist.

A swarm of insects, like an overwhelming wave, surged towards Lin Qiao.

only.....

"No matter how many there are, to put it bluntly, they are just a mob."

The full-bottle cutting sword mimicked by genetic factors, with blue-green flames wrapped around the sword, illuminated the dark insect warehouse.

Before the tidal wave of insects approached, Lin Qiao swung out the blade filled with destructive energy.

boom!

It was like the scene of Moses parting the sea.

When the slash formed by destructive energy passed through the insect swarm, all the matter it touched was evaporated.

Even though they were not directly touched by the slashing blow formed by the destructive energy, the extremely high temperature that came with it turned the insects around the sea of ​​insects into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

Like falling rain, the burnt insects fell to the ground with a "patter".

The air was filled with a mixture of burnt and corrupted smells.

The old skeleton man who was hiding behind the sea of ​​insects was also chopped into pieces by a single sword, leaving not even ashes.

There was a slight dust falling overhead.

Although this attack seemed powerful, Lin Qiao was actually confined to the insect warehouse in the basement of the Matou family.

Being able to control and release his own power more perfectly is the improvement that Lin Qiao gained after evolving to stage three.

He glanced at the body emitting faint golden particles, but the situation disappeared in the next second.

Well, I used a little too much force just now and accidentally broke two strings of the caster holster he was pinching.

But that's not a problem.

——More importantly, such an attack is not enough to kill Matou Zouken.

After countless insects were burned into charcoal, more insects crawled out from the tunnels in the insect warehouse to fill the vacancies left by the dead insects.

Lin Qiao was not surprised by this.

I'm afraid even Matou Zouken himself doesn't know how many bugs he has created in the past five hundred years.

At least within Lin Qiao's field of vision, the light spots representing life around her did not decrease much.

“You bastard…!”

Hundreds of flapping flying insects gathered together, entangled with each other, and pieced together a dried human figure.

Matou Zouken looked at Lin Qiao with an extremely gloomy expression, which made his already terrifying face even more creepy.

"Who are you?"

"Oh? You're so brave to ask."

Lin Qiao wiped the sword, his tone seemed quite relaxed, and then pointed at Matou Zouken.

"He's just a Kamen Rider passing by. Remember this."

“…”

Never heard of the guy.

But the strange words inexplicably reminded him of his second son, Matou Kariya, from his middle school days.

Just leaving that aside.

Being able to unleash such a powerful attack and confine it to the insect warehouse...

Regardless of whether this kind of magic has some limitations, it is no longer something he can deal with with his previous condescending attitude of teaching the younger generation as a senior.

"Well, since those low-level bugs can't do anything to you for now, I will play with you seriously..."

Just when Matou Zouken wanted to summon more insects, his body suddenly fell to one side weakly.

The hands and feet began to twitch uncontrollably, and a hideous winged insect broke through the skin. After struggling for a few times, it spit out some liquid and died completely.

This strange phenomenon is not limited to the insects that make up Zouken Matou's body.

Almost at the same time, all the insects summoned by it in the insect warehouse began to twist their bodies in pain, and then died in large numbers in a very short period of time.

"It looks like it's time for an attack..."

Glancing at the surrounding situation, Lin Qiao chuckled.

And his casual attitude further confirmed some of Matou Zouken's thoughts.

".....What on earth did you do?"

Lying on the ground, his non-human eyes were staring at Lin Qiao, and his body made up of insects was quickly collapsing.

It was also at this time that he discovered that in addition to the smell of corruption caused by the life and reproduction of insects, there was also a faint fragrance in the surrounding air.

"Who knows?"

Lin Qiao inserted the emerald green full bottle in her hand into the full bottle cutting sword that had transformed into gun mode.

"Insecticide!"

"Limit Mode!"

As the sound effect sounded, the answer was announced.

Yes, the bug spray bottle.

One of the many full bottles that Lin Qiao obtained after accumulating in several worlds.

I thought I could only take it out to taste it when I was craving for it, but I didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect at this time.

The specific effect, in local terms, is special attack on insects.

Because of this, Lin Qiao had already cast a wave of poison before coming to the insect warehouse... Otherwise, who would want to confront such a disgusting thing head-on?

Of course, it takes a certain amount of time for the medicine to take effect and for every insect to be eaten - even if that time is not long.

"Why do you think I talked to you so much before? Because you're old and you don't take a shower?"

"I'm waiting for the drug to take effect. What are you waiting for? Waiting for death?"

"3....2.....1..."

"Ultra Shooting!"

When the trigger is pulled, a shadow of insecticide made of green energy shoots out from the muzzle.

With a loud "bang", light green fluorescent particles spread in the insect bin... along with it, there was also a fragrance.

Just like pesticides.

This undoubtedly accelerated the death rate of the insect swarm.

In Lin Qiao's perception, the densely packed reactions of life forms, including the insects that had not yet rushed out from underground, were disappearing at an exaggerated speed.

I think in a dozen seconds at most, not even a cockroach or mosquito will be left alive in the entire Matou family.

"It seems that this time... it is indeed me who has failed..."

"But don't think... that this is the end..."

The voice that became increasingly out of tune and gradually weakened came out of Matou Zouken's mouth.

But before he could finish his words, his entire body completely collapsed into countless dead insects.

Only the ultramarine and dark grey kimono remained.

He turned around and looked around: "So, this guy's brain worm is not hiding in the Matou family?"

After confirming that all the insects within the perception range were dead, Lin Qiao sighed helplessly.

If he wasn't being stubborn, then this guy Matou Zouken might really still be alive...

Considering his fear of death, it is impossible for him to be so calm if he really faces death.

——But in a sense, this is also expected.

The magic workshop can be said to be the strongest and last bastion of the magician. Therefore, most magicians will hide important things in their own workshop...

However, Matou Zouken, who has lived for five hundred years, obviously has a different opinion.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, but conversely, can the safest place also become the most dangerous place?

This can be said to be a matter of course.

After all, no matter what, Zouken Matou participated in three Holy Grail Wars.

If he really had blind faith in his own Magic Workshop, then long before this, he would have been killed by a Servant with a large-scale attack ability, using a Noble Phantasm to send the brain worm and the Matou family to heaven.

After all, his strength is only relative to that of human magicians, and may not be enough in front of servants.

Therefore, it is understandable that this guy left his real body somewhere other than the Matou family...

——That’s why Lin Qiaocai hates anyone who can save files randomly except herself!

It is true that this wave caused Zouken Matou to bleed heavily, but it is also a fact that he failed to catch this most crucial guy.

"But there's no need to be too nervous..."

Before entering the Matou family's house, Lin Qiao had already used a full bottle of insecticide to spread a wave of poison around.

——Even if Matou Zouken's real body is not in Matou's house, considering the distance limit of operation, he should not be too far away.

Besides, there is really no need to worry about an old bug.

"As for now... let's settle things here first."

Glancing at the frightened Sakura Matou lying beside her thigh, Lin Qiao canceled her transformation.

Chapter 555 The dove takes over the magpie's nest

In the hall of the Matou family.

Looking at the old man in front of him whose body was so emaciated that only a layer of skin and bones remained, Matou Tsuruno didn't even dare to breathe.

Even though he was the nominal head of the Matou family, Matou Tsuruno knew that without any talent for magic, he was just a tool used by the family to handle the business of the outer world and various trivial matters.

To a certain extent, his status is even similar to that of his younger brother Matou Kariya who has been away for many years... After all, compared to him, the latter still has certain magical talents.
