Zongman, the history of a devil's rise

But when there is another person, it is obviously not suitable.

Because what Vitan did might be a little too irritating for Sakura.

Although for Sakura, whose heart is gradually breaking down, the existence of that man seems not to be that important anymore.

The man who rebelled against Matou Zouken was a very stupid man.

Walk inside the room.

In terms of direction, Vitan should be walking downwards now, that is, walking towards the underground.

It can be seen that the surrounding walls must have had a very gorgeous architectural style before, but under Vitan's attack just now, many parts of the walls are now cracked and look a little shabby.

During this period, there were several attacks from low-level trigger-type magic traps.

There are also sudden attacks from the marking bugs hiding in the shadows.

Then, Vitan walked into a deep tunnel. The lime-colored texture gave people a cold and dry feeling, like a monster with its mouth open, emitting a foul stench.

As we went deeper and deeper, the light, which was already very weak, became dimmer and dimmer.

By the time Vitan reached the end of the corridor, the surrounding light had completely gone out, leaving only pitch darkness.

"It's a perfect place for bedbugs."

Vitan sneered and didn't seem to have any intention of reaching out to open the door.

A silver blade of light flashed by.

"——Qiang!"

The huge iron gate was chopped into pieces and fell in all directions.

“—clang!”

There was another crisp sound of metal clashing, and a dark shadow with a red glow flashed out from inside and came directly in front of Vitan, waving the sharp blade in its hand and chopped down at Vitan.

Vitan also naturally raised the sword horizontally.

The man in front of him, who was covered in pitch-black armor with black mist constantly drifting out from the gaps, and the one with scarlet eyes collided with each other.

“That’s exactly what it is.”

"Matou Zouken, is this the last thing you can rely on?"

With one arm he easily blocked the force that was constantly being exerted upon him from above.

Vitan tilted his head slightly and fixed his sight on the corner of the room which was illuminated by candlelight and had a faint light.

"Oh, right."

"And a pathetic man who is almost at the end of his rope."

After scanning the emaciated body of Matou Zouken, Vitan's sight finally stopped at a man who was hunched over, wearing a blue sweatshirt, with hair that had turned a completely pale color without any nutrition, and almost completely devoid of flesh and blood.

"What... do you want to... do... to... Sakura..."

The man suddenly raised his head and screamed in pain.

There was a crazy look in his eyes, and on his face, there seemed to be something crawling under his skin, which looked extremely creepy.

"Inferiority, cowardice, and a natural willingness to be weak, but in the end he chose to go all out in madness."

“It’s really sad and lamentable.”

That’s right, this man is regarded by Vitan as one of the most important targets of this trip.

This was the person whose Master qualification he wanted to seize.

——Matou Kariya!

A dog who is willing to give everything for his goddess, but dares not get close to the goddess himself.

If you really talk about this man, the time span is very long.

His name is Matou Kariya, and he is one of the three great families of the Holy Grail War and the second son of the Matou family.

In the Matou family, which has gradually lost the ability to use magic in its blood, he is the only one of this generation who has a magic circuit and a certain level of magical talent.

However, because of his own doubts about Matou Zouken and magic, he chose to give up the path of inheriting the Matou family's magic.

Similarly, this is the beginning of all tragedies.

Matou Kariya has a childhood sweetheart, Zenjo Aoi, who he has played with since childhood.

That is the current wife of Tousaka Tokiomi, Tousaka Aoi.

The Zenjo family was once a family of magicians several generations ago, but due to other reasons, the magic circuits were gradually lost in the bloodline inheritance of later generations.

But even so, there is still a very high magic factor flowing in this woman's blood.

In other words, she is the best body to bear a magician's offspring.

At this time, Toosaka Tokiomi learned about this matter, and in order to give birth to better offspring of the Toosaka family, he chose to propose a marriage proposal to the Zenjo family.

Similarly, the Zenjo family and Zenjo Aoi did not choose to refuse.

Because the Toosaka family is the largest magic family in Fuyuki, the family's real power is also very strong, and Toosaka Tokiomi is indeed an outstanding young talent.

At that time, Matou Kariya, who did not choose to inherit magic, was automatically kicked out.

Is it really possible that Zenjo Aoi, who grew up with her childhood friend, has no feelings for Matou Kariya at all?

Presumably not.

However, Matou Kariya's own giving up also led to Zenjo Aoi giving up on him.

For a woman like Zenjo Aoi, she cares more about her reputation and what her husband can bring to her than love.

So at that time, for Zenjo Aoi, the situation was already very clear whether to choose Tōsaka Tokiomi or Matou Kariya.

But, even so, Matou Kariya still silently blesses his goddess in his heart.

He looks just like a dog licker.

She still cares about Zenjo Aoi, who has changed her name to Toosaka Aoi, and even treats the two daughters born to her as her own.

It is simply the extreme embodiment of the word "dog-licking".

But it is also because of this that the current situation has arisen.

As we all know, in a magic family, it is not difficult to give birth to a child with magic circuits.

However, magic is not just about magic circuits.

They still need to inherit the magic mark that can only be passed down to one person in a generation. At this time, there are two children in the family, and their qualifications are very high, one with imaginary number qualifications, and the other with five elements qualifications.

It would be more than enough for anyone to inherit the family's magic seal.

But the other child will face the fate of having great talents but ultimately being just like everyone else.

This is unacceptable to the magician Tōsaka Tokiomi.

He could not accept such a wasteful situation, so when the Matou family proposed the need for an heir, Tōsaka Tokiomi immediately agreed.

But everyone knows what Matou Zouken's specific thoughts are, so there is no need to explain more.

Matou Kariya had a clearer idea of ​​what his nominal father wanted to do.

So when his attempts to dissuade Tōsaka Aoi failed, Matou Kariya willingly embarked on this path of no return.

He allowed himself to be forcibly implanted with the Crest Bug, so that he could participate in the Holy Grail War on behalf of Sakura, seize the Holy Grail, and end Sakura's fate.

The result is that I have become neither human nor ghost.

If it was he who inherited the magic circuits of the Matou family.

If he had married Zenjo Aoi, would everything be different now?

In short, this is a man who makes people angry because he does not fight for it, but he is not worthy of sympathy at all.

Silver light, running rapidly in the darkness.

In an instant, several sword lights intersected and formed several sword nets, covering Vitan.

Faced with the terrifying attack, Vitan did not retreat a single step, but instead held his sword horizontally.

The pitch-black flames wrapped around the sword body exploded, and the sharp tip of the sword was revealed in the middle, slashing down fiercely from the front.

“Bang, boom, boom—”

Vitan actually took such a blow head-on, and the ground behind him was completely chopped into pieces of rubble.

"Gudong-"

The sound of swallowing saliva seemed extremely insignificant in this room where explosions continued to sound.

The one who did this was none other than Matou Zouken, who was leaning on a cane and whose sunken pupils never left the battlefield.

(Damn, what the hell is going on.)

(How could this magician fight a heroic spirit head-on? Could it be that this guy is from the Burial Agency or an executor of the Association?)

Fear completely surrounded Matou Zouken.

As we all know, there is absolutely no way a magician can defeat a heroic spirit.

Even the weakest Heroic Spirit is not something a magician can contend with head-on.

It is possible that it was just some shady trick.

But there are exceptions to everything.

For example, the Seal Designated Execution Department in the Clock Tower and the Burial Agency in the Cathedral Church, the magicians inside are all capable of confronting or even killing Heroic Spirits head-on.

There is no magician who would not be terrified by the existence of these two places.

Even a Grand Master Magician could be easily dealt with in the eyes of these executors.

Unless a superior heroic spirit comes, he is no match for these executors.

And the berserkers he summoned through special means can definitely be ranked among the top-level heroic spirits.

The Knight of the Lake, one of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

In terms of martial arts alone, not even King Arthur can compare to him. He is definitely the strongest among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

He himself could be considered a superior heroic spirit, even though his statistics in all aspects had been considerably weakened due to the magic power of his useless son.

However, because of his special technique, he was able to summon it at the level of a berserker in the end, which completely made up for this.

And the man in front of him could actually do this.

It seems that there is really no other possibility.

Cold sweat inadvertently slid down the head of Matou Zouken.

He knew very well that based on what he had done in the past few hundred years, it was not an exaggeration for these two places to send people to deal with him, especially the Cathedral Church.

"Yanye, you..."

Matou Zouken opened his mouth and seemed to be about to say something.

"--boom!"

The atmosphere within about five meters in front of Vitan was instantly shattered.

The soil, gravel, and rock walls were all lifted up by the terrifying sword edge, and under the combined effects of the sword light and magic power, they were directly crushed into the smallest dust.

"Damn it, I won't lose like this."

Matou Zouken's eyes almost popped out as he stared at the berserker whose body was completely embedded in the wall.

He was also aware that this space was blocked.

According to his character, he had already sent out the engraving insects to conduct tests.

But without exception, all the imprinted insects lost contact with him.

At that time he already knew that he had no way out.

That's why he hid here and let the berserker wait by the door, and launch a sneak attack the moment the door was broken.

But the result is now completely beyond his expectations.

"berserker, stand up, stand up quickly."

The crested worms were running around madly on Matou Kariya's body, and one could clearly see protrusions wriggling on his dry skin.
