"Master, you are so powerful."

-

A few hours ago, in the basement of the Tōsaka Mansion, far away from the battlefield, Tōsaka Tokiomi sighed deeply.

Since the last time, Archer didn't even know where he was going to go, and this servant now completely regarded him as nothing.

Even if he respectfully offered advice, he would only be scolded. Among all the master-servant relationships among masters, there was probably no one worse off than himself.

Having said that, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not regret his decision to use that Command Spell. The King of Heroes was the strongest Heroic Spirit, and he was still convinced of this until now.

Apart from his overly arrogant personality, Archer is almost impeccable. In theory, even if he does nothing, he can still wait for victory in the Holy Grail War.

But Tōsaka Tokiomi cannot accept this hands-off model. He must maintain a certain degree of control over his servants. Fortunately, although Archer doesn't obey orders very much now, his disciple Kirei is still as loyal as ever.

With his assassin around, he could always get the latest information about the battle and place his familiars, allowing him to micro-manage the situation on the battlefield.

"master."

A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Kotomine Kirei walked in and began to report the situation.

"According to Assassin's report, Archer seems to have gone to Einzbern, and Berserker and Saber seem to be fighting in the forest."

"It seems that if everything goes well, we might be able to eliminate an opponent today."

Tōsaka Tokiomi showed a leisurely look as he looked at the magic furnace behind him that had already started running.

"This battle comes at the perfect time. The construction of the magic furnace has just been completed. After the exciting battle, I'm sure Archer's anger will be much lessened."

"To this day, I have not been able to do anything for you. I am really ashamed."

Kotomine Kirei bowed his head deeply, but Tōsaka Tokiomi waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Most of the masters this year are veterans. It's normal for them to be on guard against assassins. This is not your fault."

As he spoke, Tōsaka Tokiomi stood up and picked up a long black box from the table.

"Because I was a little tight on money these days, I didn't have time to prepare your graduation gift. I hope it's not too late now."

Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled and pushed the box in his hand over. Kotomine Kirei opened the box and looked at the dagger inside.

Kotomine Kirei recognized this thing, a mercury sword, a fine magic gift weapon. The gems inlaid on its tail handle were very exquisite. Both its price and purpose were very decent.

"Master, such a great favor..."

Before Kotomine Kirei could finish his words, a dark red light flashed in the room.

This was a sign that the magic barrier had been triggered, and Tōsaka Tokiomi quickly stood up. Looking at the outer barrier, a swarm of dark insects was wreaking havoc everywhere.

"The insect technique of the Matou family? Humph, knowing that Archer is not here, you want to take this opportunity to come and settle things?"

Even at the critical moment of being invaded, Tōsaka Tokiomi remained calm and took out his usual magic wand quickly.

Thinking of the Master of the Matou family, Tōsaka Tokiomi became even calmer. Matou Kariya was just a half-baked guy who gave up halfway on the path of magic. He couldn't even make people alert.

What's more, he has Kotomine Kirei by his side. This disciple who once shone as an agent is even more professional in fighting against magicians.

“Kirei, please wait for a moment. Your identity as my ally has not yet been exposed. There is no need to wait for an opportunity. Just sit and wait.”

Tōsaka Tokiomi calmly assessed the current situation and quickly went downstairs to meet the enemy.

"The key to open the magic furnace is on the table. If it lights up, it means Archer is consuming a lot of magic. Please help me open it so that I can avoid being distracted during the battle."

Seeing his decisive action, Kotomine Kirei's voice actually added a bit of worry and anxiety.

"master……"

Having keenly noticed this, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt more at ease. Although he only had two short years of experience, Kotomine Kirei was undoubtedly a talent he could trust.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, Kirei," Tōsaka Tokiomi said as he walked down the stairs confidently without looking back, "The wind of victory is blowing from behind me, so just wait for good news."

Tōsaka Tokiomi walked calmly in his garden, as if this was not a battlefield full of dangers.

Kotomine Kirei looked at his master's resolute back, stretched out his index finger, gently stroked the edge of the mercury sword, and prayed sincerely.

"Master...please don't die like this."

Toosaka Tokiomi walked calmly in his garden, ignoring the swarm of insects around him, and walked straight to the figure wrapped in a black robe in the garden.

Even on a battlefield fraught with danger, Tōsaka Tokiomi maintained his usual elegance.

“Matou Kariya, I have to praise you. Although you are just a newbie, you are so courageous that you dare to challenge the Tōsaka family’s workshop openly. I don’t know whether you are stupid or fearless.”

Matou Kariya did not respond, but just waved his hand, causing the black swarm of insects to surround Tōsaka Tokiomi in an instant. He expressed his inner hatred, but Tokiomi only frowned and raised the civilization staff in his hand.

Without any hesitation, Toosaka Tokiomi activated the defense formation. With the huge ruby ​​on the staff of civilization as the center, an elaborate formation symbolizing the Toosaka family crest was deployed. Toosaka Tokiomi also began to chant in an orderly manner.

"Give my enemies a harsh cremation!"

Red fire snakes crawled out from the defense formation and quickly swept through the insect swarm. Tōsaka Tokiomi could foresee the next scene. In the dancing flames, insect corpses continued to scatter. After all the familiars were killed, Matou Kariya could only urge the last swarm of insects to fight to the death. At this time, he was giving him the final punishment.

However, the development of the matter was completely beyond Tōsaka Tokiomi's expectations. Instead of being burned to death by the flames, the flying swarm of insects absorbed them. Like a swarm of locusts passing through a land, they devoured all the flames he released. Their bodies glowed with a scorching light and they rushed towards him fearlessly!

Such a scene could not help but make Tohsaka Tokiomi horrified. This was against the common sense of magic. It was not difficult for the Matou family to make a bug with fire-resistant properties, but to make a bug that treated flames as nothing was a completely different matter.

What's more, the swarm of insects in front of him were not only not afraid of fire, but the fire he released was like food to them.

It's really too weird!

Toosaka Tokiomi had just launched a new defensive formation, but the swarm of insects did not attack him. Instead, they lay on top of the defensive formation, their bodies continued to expand, and finally turned into brilliant flames!

Such a scene made Tōsaka Tokiomi no longer care about his elegance. He quickly rolled on the ground and threw out gems infused with magic power to form a barrier, narrowly blocking the attack.

“Are you really Matou Kariya?”

Tōsaka Tokiomi's tone became serious, and he spoke with some disbelief.

The figure wrapped in the black robe answered with his actions. He casually threw off the black robe used to cover himself, and completely revealed his skin made of emerald green scales, strange claws, and hideous and terrifying face to the shocked Tōsaka Tokiomi, and issued an intimate greeting.

"Hey, Tokiomi, I'm back from hell."

16000/16000, the fat has been burned out, I owe you an update and I will count the results tomorrow...

Chapter 88 It’s all Tokiomi’s fault!

Monster, this is the only thought in Toosaka Tokiomi's mind right now.

In the world of magic, it is not uncommon to see people who transform themselves beyond recognition, but none of them are as natural as Matou Kariya.

It was as if he was born as a beast with scales and the characteristics of both a lizard and a dragon.

"You should have summoned a berserker, but it turned out like this. Have you formed an alliance with the master of the caster?"

Only heroes from ancient times could possess such technology that is completely beyond modern understanding.

Then, Tōsaka Tokiomi made a comment in a cold tone.

"How foolish! Since you have already made up your mind to join the battlefield, you are still trapped by unnecessary emotions."

Looking at Matou Kariya's acquiescent look, Tōsaka Tokiomi shook his head in disdain.

Since childhood, Toosaka Tokiomi knew that he was not a talented person. Therefore, in order to embark on this path and to pass on the Toosaka family, he always followed the family motto and did the right thing.

From inheriting the ancestors, to becoming an independent head of the family, from arranging the inheritance, to becoming a magician who throws himself into the roots and abandons unnecessary concerns like a moth to a flame.

In the eyes of someone like Tōsaka Tokiomi who has a clear goal, Matou Kariya's attitude is too ugly.

As a qualified inheritor of a magic family, he recklessly gave up his family business. In the end, because he didn't want to involve Aoi in the magic world, he even easily gave up the responsibility of giving birth to the next generation of heirs for the family. He was swayed by unnecessary emotions and lived a day-to-day life. This kind of guy is exactly the one that Tōsaka Tokiomi despises the most.

Toosaka Tokiomi also knew that he had normal feelings towards his family. He was a loving father and a qualified husband, but these were all external to him.

But as a magician, you have to learn to distinguish the important from the unimportant. Compared to the root cause, these things are not worth mentioning.

As a magician, you shouldn't be swayed by ordinary people's emotions.

"Fortunately, the teacher of the Matou family is not you, otherwise, I would really be worried about Sakura's future. You are controlled by unnecessary emotions and don't even have basic rationality. You are not qualified to embark on the path of magic at all."

"You are one of the three great families, but you are willing to be a pawn of others when the outsiders have not been eliminated yet. You have really fallen."

"Am I corrupted?"

Matou Kariya's body trembled as he looked at the arrogance and mocking words on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face.

For some reason, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who used to make him feel ashamed whenever he looked at him, now looked so funny.

It might be because his neat red suit was covered with stains from rolling around just now, or it might be because he looked timid but showed his strength on his face as he was defeated by the swarm of insects infected by his own evil spirit.

The tall image of Tōsaka Tokiomi in the past was gradually lost, and then he burst into wild laughter.

"That's right, I have fallen! And the reason for all this is because of you!"

He gave up his beloved daughter and his original future. Now, the only thing supporting Matou Kariya's personality is resolute hatred.

"This is all your fault, Tousaka Tokiomi!"

A beastly growl emanated from Matou Kariya's mouth, and he charged towards Tōsaka Tokiomi with a roar!

"Damn it."

Tōsaka Tokiomi cursed inwardly, and the next moment, the defense formation was deployed again from the ruby ​​on the top of the staff, but this time, he did not let it spread out to attack through chanting, but let it just surround him, and took out a few gems to release the magic power in them.

Gems that host natural spirits can be used as disposable gifts by infusing them with magical power. They are powerful and effective, but the disadvantage is that after use, the gems that serve as containers will shatter directly, which is the fundamental reason why the magicians of the Tohsaka family often fall into the dilemma of insufficient funds.

But there is no doubt that the effect of doing so is very obvious. The crystal magic barrier wrapped around the flames and resisted all the insect swarms.

He didn't expect that he would have to waste gems even when facing an enemy like Matou Kariya. If he had known earlier, it might have been easier to have Kirei by his side to assist him. Thinking of his already drained pockets, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt embarrassed.

But at this moment, Toosaka Tokiomi couldn't take back what he had said. He always had to remain elegant, which was his family motto that he had adhered to throughout his life.

But the next moment, despite trying his best to keep his face calm, Tohsaka Tokiomi's face inevitably twisted.

"Bang——!!!"

The double barrier composed of flames and gems actually began to tremble.

Without using any magic or calling upon the swarm of insects, Matou Kariya simply stood in front of the barrier, raised his hand, and then attacked without hesitation!

It was like a monster's claw. There was no flesh or blood, just a foreign object made of skin and bones stuck together. Only the bulges where insects were crawling proved that it had not lost its vitality.

However, the defense formed by the family technique that Tōsaka Tokiomi was proud of trembled in the face of pure power.

"With such power, there is no need for us to engage in meaningless fighting. Matou Kariya, you are also a member of the Three Great Families, and Sakura is your successor. For the sake of the family's long-cherished wish, reconciling with me is your best choice!"

Seeing this scene, Tōsaka Tokiomi frowned even deeper and took the initiative to back off, but his condescending tone angered Matou Kariya even more.

"Reconciliation? You are not joking at this moment!"

Matou Kariya sneered, ignored him, and clenched his fists again.

Then, as punch after punch came, the barrier shattered in front of Tōsaka Tokiomi's incredulous gaze!

Without caring about anything else, Tōsaka Tokiomi threw out two plate-shaped rubies, chanted a spell, and released the magic power contained in them.

The scorching, dry hot wind turned into a pure impact and rushed towards Matou Kariya, tearing the scales on his face and piercing his flesh, but he still acted as if he didn't feel it, and rushed against the wind step by step, towards the direction of Tōsaka Tokiomi. Then, at the moment when the strong wind dissipated, he suddenly spat out a ball of scorching fire from his mouth!

Faced with this unexpected attack, Tōsaka Tokiomi could only activate the magic power of a gem before being hit and strengthen himself with all his strength, but even so, he was still badly beaten.

"How is that possible? You were just a half-baked person before!"

Faced with the fact that the results of his half-life's hard work were easily shattered by Matou Kariya, the calm expression that Tōsaka Tokiomi always had on his face was completely torn apart as he lay on the ground. What appeared on his face now was resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of jealousy that he himself had not even noticed.

But with his vision far superior to that of ordinary people, Matou Kariya accurately captured this.

"Ha ha!"

He laughed loudly, his laughter was so desolate and strange, yet full of a sense of relief and excitement.

"Finally I see you... I've always wanted to see this expression on your face, the expression of jealousy towards me!"

"Go to hell, Tousaka Tokiomi!"

Just when Matou Kariya wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a final push, he suddenly found that his movements had been stopped.

"With a half-baked person like you! Stop joking!"

After suffering a series of defeats at the hands of the people he despised, Tōsaka Tokiomi no longer cared about being elegant and picked up the civilization staff next to him and swung it.

Chains emerged from the jewel-encrusted sculptures in the garden and entangled Matou Kariya's body.

"You are such an ignorant person, how could you possibly understand the rule of not invading a magician's workshop?"

Toosaka Tokiomi slowly stood up and said coldly.

"If you hadn't borrowed the Caster's modification, you wouldn't have been qualified to see the workshop in action."

His hand slid down slightly and grasped the end of the staff. From the ruby ​​on the top of the staff, a flame like dragon's breath spurted out. The red flame did not explode, but condensed like a column of light.
