Zongman, the history of a devil's rise

“I actually didn’t have a smooth day today.”

"He even fainted while trying to capture the criminal."

"What……"

Toosaka Aoi suddenly became anxious and almost lost her grip on the steering wheel.

But before she could ask any question she might have thought about.

Yu Lin's next words completely blocked her mouth.

"Mom, I was rescued."

Yulin's speaking speed is definitely not fast, it can even be considered slow.

"The person who rescued us was the one Sakura called."

"What……"

"Sakura."

"boom……"

The car braked suddenly and stopped on the side of the road.

Toosaka Aoi turned her head and stared closely at her daughter who was no longer nervous.

"Rin, are you talking about Sakura?"

Chapter 4 K Sublimation Ceremony

"Rin, you're talking about Sakura, right? It's Sakura, right?"

At this moment, this beautiful woman who had always maintained a gentle and generous appearance and looked like a standard Yamato Nadeshiko showed an unprecedented excitement.

No, if I had to describe it more precisely, it would be something a bit like madness.

"Indeed, Mom."

"Something must have happened to the Matou family."

"Mom, tell me."

There is no need for an affirmative answer. Just looking at my mother's appearance and her expression is enough to prove many things.

My daughter was so calm and composed.

The slightly out-of-control Toosaka Aoi calmed down, released the handbrake, started the engine, and gently stepped on the accelerator.

Turning on the turn signal, the car slowly drove on the road again.

Looking through the rearview mirror of the car at her daughter who was waiting for an answer, Toosaka Aoi sighed softly.

"Yes, in fact, the night before we left Fuyuki City, the Matou family was destroyed."

"I once secretly called your uncle Yanye, but he never responded."

"So I thought Sakura should be also..."

She and her husband, Tōsaka Tokiomi, had never educated Rin as a child.

Instead, she has been cultivating her independent thinking since she was young and taught her to think.

therefore.

It would be fine if Xiao Lin hasn't discovered it yet, but if she has, I would explain it to her and let her figure it out herself.

not to mention.

This matter has been kept in her heart for a long time.

If she could say it like this and get an answer, she would feel much better.

Just like what I said just now.

The night before she left Fuyuki City, she overheard the conversation between her husband and Kotomine Kirei in the back of the room.

I learned that there seems to be a huge fluctuation of magical power in the Matou family.

However, she did not ask her husband at that time.

But she didn't do nothing.

After she and Xiao Lin settled down in their home in Linshan City, she immediately called Matou Kariya.

The call unexpectedly didn't go through.

She was actually panicking at that time.

Because this kind of thing has never happened before, Yanye will never ignore any call from him.

Therefore, she drove back to Fuyuki City late at night while Rin was sleeping, and went directly to the Matou residence.

But at that time, all she saw were ruins.

No one knew how she drove back to Linshan City that night.

No one knows what her mood was that day.

But that was the only thing she was sure of.

It was the first time that I felt disgusted and nauseous about my own personality.

For the first time, she felt regret for her past actions.

If I hadn't given Sakura to the Matou family to raise, would Sakura still be alive and well now?

"So, Rin, can you explain to mom now? What's going on?"

"Why would Sakura send someone to rescue you?"

"How do you know that the Matou family has been completely destroyed?"

Toosaka Rin, who was sitting in the back seat, also lowered her eyes slightly.

"Yes, that's what the man who came to rescue me said..."

……

In the dark and eerie underground sewer.

The sound of gurgling water seemed like the flapping of some creature's wings, and a faint light, perhaps not even candlelight, brought a faint illumination to the cave.

And on that huge concrete load-bearing column, a little boy who looked to be only about ten years old was tied to it.

His body was twisted into a shape like a pretzel.

There were no visible wounds on his body, but bright red blood was flowing from his ears, eyes, nostrils and even between his fingers.

However, judging from the extremely distorted expression on his face, he must have experienced something very horrible before he died.

But if you really observe carefully.

The situation is actually the same on every load-bearing column here.

On each of the pillars, there was a dead child tied.

The way each of them died was different.

Some died by cutting their wrists and bleeding to death.

Some had their stomachs cut open, some had their bones broken, and some had their skulls cut open...

In short, everyone here dies in a different way.

Even the most severe punishment place in the world cannot compare with the cruelty here.

It is no exaggeration to describe the scene here as hell on earth.

"Strange, why is Ryunosuke taking so long to come back?"

In this dark, damp and cold place, a figure with a strange posture was holding a yellow book and muttering to himself.

The luxurious black gown of ancient style, made of unknown material, was dotted with deep red patterns. The pair of eyes that seemed to be bulging out easily reminded people of some nocturnal animal.

There is no doubt about it, and it doesn't even require any thought.

This is the infamous Marshal Gilles de Rais, the Caster of this Holy Grail War.

As Caster spoke, he flipped open the human skin scroll in his hand, and finally continued to spit out obscure characters, and the magic power in his body surged continuously.

In the magical purple light, disgusting tentacles like the ones that just surrounded Ryunosuke Uesugi began to emerge.

Little by little.

As if it was swallowing something, it emerged from the purple magic mist and climbed up little by little as if it was entangled with something.

"Oh, Jeanne..."

"Just wait, I will definitely free you from those hypocritical gods."

Speaking with a very strange emphasis, Caster is like a hard-working gardener, constantly working hard.

"Well, psychopath, you don't stand a chance."

Vitan spoke politely.

"who are you?"

The sudden appearance of an unexpected sound, or rather the sudden appearance of a source of magic power, caused Caster, who was originally dancing, to suddenly become silent.

"Why is Ryunosuke's Command Seal on you?"

"What have you done to my lovely Ryunosuke?"

This is something that doesn't need to be asked at all.

The connection between Master and Servant is based on the system of the Holy Grail War, which allows the Master's status to be sensed through the connection of magic.

This has already been shown in the original work.

During the battle with Saber, Lancer sensed that his Master was extremely weak, so he stopped the fight and successfully rescued Director Ken.

The same is true for Caster now.

He could feel that the source of his magic power had changed from his beloved Ryunosuke Uryu to the man in front of him.

However, in the Holy Grail War, what would be the fate of an ordinary person who had lost all his Command Seals and had no magic power? In fact, it is completely imaginable just by using the brain.

"How is it? Of course it's what that guy likes to do normally, so I just let him try it."

Looking at the surrounding environment, Vitan frowned in disgust.

Foul, rotten smell.

Dark, humid environment,

To be honest, even if they are real demons, few of them would like this style of place.

Vitan was extremely disgusted with this place.

He pinched his nose with his hand, and the surrounding air flow, driven by magic, formed one whirlpool after another.

A strong storm swept everything away.

Just now, there was a fishy smell everywhere, but now there is no smell at all.

"Oh, my Master, Ryunosuke, you actually abandoned me and left this world first."

"Have you just abandoned the agreement between you and me and forgotten our agreement to create the best art together?"

"This is so regrettable and so sad."

"You damned god, you not only took away my Jeanne, but you're also going to take away Ryunosuke as well."

The whole thing is like a terminally ill mental patient.

Even though Vitan was standing next to him, he completely ignored it and used all kinds of exaggerated and disgusting actions to vent his inner emotions.

It's as disgusting as it can be.

"We made a promise, Ryunosuke."

"Together, we must offer blasphemous sacrifices to the arrogant and hypocritical gods."

"It's so boring."
