Chapter 255 The Father-Daughter Filial Piety Game Continues

On the light screen, Saber landed on the ground. The moment she landed, she actually closed her eyes, as if trying to sense something.

At this point, the camera uses some stream-of-consciousness special effects to show Saber's ability to perceive the spread of light. The light screen image directly uses narration and subtitles to explain what is happening.

Saber was actively using her A-level intuition to sense Mordred's situation, trying to understand why Mordred could unleash his magic power so recklessly.

Then, at this moment, the camera used a three-dimensional transparent effect and quickly came to Mordred along the ground.

Then, he detected Mordred's magic through perspective.

It was a dark and cursed magic, like all evil, and it was endless.

At the same time, the magic power extended backwards and continuously injected into Mordred's body.

At the end of the shot, we can see that purple-black liquid continuously generates curse magic power that flows into Mordred's body, and the core of it is a jellyfish-like black shadow located in the liquid, and no one knows what it is doing.

Then, the seemingly endless cursed magic power was fed back into Mordred's body, and was injected into the cursed sword in her hand through her.

The power contained in the Cursed Sword is like a boiling volcano about to erupt.

Instantly, Saber opened her eyes abruptly, cold sweat streaming down her face. "With this level of cursed magic, that sword... has been completely corrupted. The power of the curse has also transformed it into a complete demonic sword..."

"In other words, it has become an A++ rank Noble Phantasm, on the same level as the unsealed Sword of Promised Victory. No wonder, even at my wit's end, I couldn't defeat it in a single blow when I engaged it in a Noble Phantasm confrontation."

"No, not only that, Mordred's Noble Phantasm has a restraining effect on me. Therefore, unless I can completely unseal the Sword of Promised Victory, I will be at a disadvantage in terms of Noble Phantasms."

At the same time, the narration subtitles appear.

[Mordred's Noble Phantasm: The Radiant King's Sword was originally the holy sword of the king, but after being seized by Mordred, its rank was lowered. The Noble Phantasm created in his name as the Rebellious Knight, 'Treason Against My Magnificent Father,' is an A+ rank Noble Phantasm.]

However, the cursed magic of the Black Holy Grail completely tainted Mordred, causing her Noble Phantasm to completely degenerate into a cursed demonic sword. Coupled with the magical support and spiritual distortion brought by the Black Holy Grail, while allowing Mordred to have a higher magic output efficiency than ordinary servants, it also increased the rank of her Noble Phantasm from A+ to A++.

Based on the legend that Mordred once used this sword to severely injure King Arthur, leading to his death eight years after the Battle of Camlann, this cursed sword has a countering effect on King Arthur. In the event of a Noble Phantasm confrontation, the unsealed Sword of Promised Victory will be suppressed by the magic sword.

Saber's words and the subtitles on the light screen clearly explained Mordred's current situation.

There is no doubt that Mordred obtained an epic BUFF. As a Berserker before, she was actually no match for Saber at all. She had the upper hand because of Sombra's assistance or because Saber was slacking off or injured.

But now, it is really three times stronger than when it was darkened. It can only be said that the enhancement brought by the Black Holy Grail is too exaggerated.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by tense and atmospheric background music, Mordred launched a new round of attacks, like a boiling thing, silent and cold, attacking Saber with unstoppable power.

The terrifying magic power was like it was free of charge, slashing towards Saber with terrifying power. Saber did not dare to resist it and immediately dodged, fighting and retreating, leaving a lot of casualties along the way.

Soon, Saber discovered one thing, that is, although Mordred's attack power was beyond the limit and his explosive power was terrifying, his speed was not as fast as hers.

Although the explosive speed displayed by releasing magic power is exaggerated, its flexibility is not as good as Saber.

This allowed Saber to find a way to fight against him - relying on her greater flexibility and A-level intuition, Saber began to deal with Mordred.

At the same time, the light screen image also posted the basic attributes of the two servants, allowing everyone to have a basic understanding of the confrontation between the two.

Saber: Strength B, Agility A, Endurance A, Magic A, Luck B, Noble Phantasm A++

Mordred: Strength A, Agility C, Stamina A, Magic A++, Luck D, Noble Phantasm A++

In terms of attributes, Saber lags behind Mordred a little, but the gap is not big. Her main agility attribute A is two levels higher than Mordred's C-level agility, and this is her advantage.

Even though he has amazing explosive power, he can only rush in a straight line, and Saber can just move around swiftly to deal with him.

In fact, this is what Saber did. She moved around in a serpentine manner, spinning and jumping, and occasionally used magic to fight back. The rest of the time, she fought and retreated.

Mordred continued to pursue without saying a word. After all, his magic power was almost unlimited, so he could use it to his heart's content, constantly destroying the battlefield and changing the terrain with his powerful force.

Many trenches appeared on the earth, and the terrible magic melted the ground, forming many burning places with deep purple flames.

Saber didn't confront it head-on at all, and played very smartly, and the two sides actually fell into a stalemate.

However, Saber did not dare to relax at all. Not to mention that she could only maneuver but could not gain the upper hand, the black shadow, which was like a natural enemy to the servants, made Saber very wary.

That thing hasn't made a move yet. If it attacks her together, she will be in great danger.

This tense, fierce, and extremely fast-paced offensive and defensive battle left people in the real world with no time to even speak. Everyone had their eyes wide open, trying not to blink if possible, for fear of missing out on the exciting shots in the blink of an eye.

Some people even become so nervous that they forget to breathe, and only remember to continue breathing when they feel uncomfortable.

Then, just when the battle was intense and stalemate, the image on the screen suddenly shifted the camera.

The scene switched from the battle between the loving father and the filial daughter to that of Irisviel and Waver.

The two had been running for a while, and contrary to their expectations, there were no shadows or insects chasing them. Before they knew it, they arrived at the pavilion by the big lake in the park.

Here, seeing that no enemies were chasing them, Irisviel quickly placed Weber on a chair and began to treat him with all her strength.

Waver groaned, a look of pain on his face.

The injury he suffered was not that simple. The damage to the magic circuit was just like nerve damage to an ordinary person. It was not easy to heal.

Irisviel also knew this. All she could do was to help Weber heal his physical injuries. As for the magic circuit, Weber would need to go back to the Clock Tower to find those who specialized in treating this kind of injury.

At this moment, a sinister old voice sounded.

"Oh, you're still alive? I thought that man named Emiya Kiritsugu would choose to kill you and end this Holy Grail War directly."

Suddenly, both Waver and Irisviel were startled, and then immediately looked over nervously.

Whatever you see will be Zouken Matou.

The old bug stood twenty meters away with an evil smile on his face, his pair of black eyes staring at Irisviel like a man from the underworld.

As for Weber, he was simply ignored by the old bug.

Seeing Matou Zouken, Irisviel was stunned: "Are you... the... Matou Zouken in the information?"

Matou Zouken grinned. "Wow, it seems that Emiya Kiritsugu really didn't tell you anything. The so-called partners of justice are just such selfish people after all."

Then, his smile grew even more malicious. "Then, you probably don't know? I've already met him and told him the truth about the Holy Grail, how it was tainted by the Einzbern family's foolish actions during the last Holy Grail War."

Irisviel was originally unhappy because the other party said something bad about Emiya Kiritsugu, but the following words stunned her, and also stunned Waver next to her.

Irisviel: “W-What are you talking about?”

Matou Zouken: "As expected, you know nothing. Well, it doesn't matter. You should have seen that black shadow before. So, you should have felt that it wanted to devour you, right?"

Hearing this, Irisviel's heart trembled. She subconsciously placed her right hand on her chest and clutched her clothes tightly, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "That, that thing, was it you who made it?"

Matou Zouken: "Hehehe, let's put it this way, that's something I'm very satisfied with. And Emiya Kiritsugu already knows that thing will have an endless desire for life. Once it devours you, it may devour the life of the entire world."

"But similarly, if I kill you, I can forcibly end the Holy Grail War and cause that shadow to collapse with the end of the Holy Grail War."

"I was really looking forward to Emiya Kiritsugu killing you in the name of justice and ending this Holy Grail War. However, it is obvious that between most people and you, he chose you. Therefore, you are destined to become the food of the Black Holy Grail, hehehe~~"

After hearing what Zouken Matou said, Waver and Irisviel were both shocked. They had never expected that Kiritsugu Emiya would have such a struggle, choice, and experience without their knowledge.

To be honest, when Irisviel learned that Emiya Kiritsugu did not choose to kill herself to save more people, she was moved, had complicated emotions, and was angry at the same time. She wanted to say something immediately.

But at this moment, a flashback scene appeared, and a silver-haired woman in a pure white robe seemed to suddenly appear in Irisviel's mind.

Her appearance is exactly the same as Irisviel, as if she is Irisviel.

Then, the screen showed Irisviel's face again, and her eyes became dull at this moment, as if she had suddenly lost consciousness.

Then, Irisviel spoke again, her voice becoming calm and indifferent, with a sense of emptiness: "It has become like this, do you cherish your life so much?"

Waver subconsciously looked at Irisviel. This sensitive boy noticed the change in Irisviel.

In fact, people in the real world also noticed the changes in Irisviel, and it felt as if Irisviel had become a different person inside.

What on earth happened?

Chapter 256: Matou Zouken is Machiri-Zolgen?

What's going on with Irisviel?

Possessed by a ghost?

Or has the second personality hidden in the body awakened?

Who was that woman in the white robe who seemed to appear in my memory? Was she Irisviel herself?

The fleeting images brought up too many questions and confusions, making it difficult for people in the real world to understand.

-

On the screen, Matou Zouken was slightly taken aback after hearing Irisviel's words, then he lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Ah, of course I cherish my life - my wish is to live forever!"

Having said that, he spread out his left hand and made a gesture to show his body.

"Look at this body, it's decaying every second..."

Black, rotten matter that looked like residue began to fall from beneath its body.

Then, a disgusting, shelled worm fell down, covered in disgusting black liquid.

"It stinks..."

More and more shelled worms fell and crawled away at an incredible speed. The full appearance of these worms was revealed, and they were none other than Matou Zouken's engraved worms.

"Even the wisdom accumulated over the years is being lost..."

"Can you understand this pain, this pain of living corruption?"

Its body began to emit black particles and quickly decayed and shrank, turning into countless insects. Finally, the completely decayed body collapsed, and its voice became hoarse and hollow at this time.

"No one is not afraid of death. If I could really achieve my wish of immortality..."

The bugs gathered together again and then melted together. Zouken Matou's body reappeared in a soft and twisted manner, and in the end, he revealed a very disgusting, as if melted, and as if there were countless tumors on his face.

That face was grinning.

"Then, if you want me to kill all the humans in the world, I will do it!"

Crazy, cruel, twisted, ugly.

At this moment, Zouken Matou seemed to be showing the ugliest and most disgusting side of human beings.

Accompanied by the underworld BGM, Zouken Matou's underworld attributes were maximized at this moment.

When people in the real world see this scene, they just feel nauseous, want to vomit, their scalps go numb, and their hands and feet are cold.

As expected, the old bug must die!

Just letting a guy like this live is the greatest sin in the world.

At the same time, people also completely confirmed that what Zouken Matou said about Sakura swallowing Irisviel and then going out of control to devour all the lives in the world was true, and this was also what he was going to do.

Because this crazy old bug has an incomprehensible obsession with "survival" and is the kind of madman who is willing to destroy the whole world just to survive.

The purpose of his pursuit of the Holy Grail is also revealed, which is the purest and most clichéd desire - to survive and to achieve immortality!

Such a wish cannot be said to be common, it is simply cliché. Throughout the dynasties, countless kings and emperors have pursued this kind of thing, and countless powerful people have also pursued this kind of thing.

Rather, it is human beings’ fear of death that has turned the desire for immortality into a collective obsession.

It’s just that this kind of thing was just a delusion in the past, but now it has become a possibility with the manifestation of extraordinary powers.

In the underground of Orleans, the high-level mysterious Matou Zouken was surprised for a moment, and then felt it was natural.

After all, they are the same person, so it is normal that they pursue the same things.

The difference is that he has already achieved this obsession, while Zouken Matou in the image on the light screen has not yet achieved it and is just a disgusting twisted insect.

-

On the light screen, when Waver heard what Zouken Matou said and saw his distorted changes, his face turned green and he even wanted to vomit.

For him, the scene before him was still too beyond the scope.

However, Irisviel remained indifferent, with no change in expression on her face.

About ten seconds after Matou Zouken finished speaking, she spoke again, her voice still calm and indifferent, with an air of emptiness: "That's enough. You are so stubborn, Machiri."

"Please remember! Remember your long-cherished wish, remember why we long to achieve miracles."

"Why are we, in human form, striving to explore the divine realm of magical truth?"

When Irisviel spoke the following words, there was a touch of emotion in her voice, as if she was reminiscing, and as if she was giving sincere advice.

These words made Waver confused. After all, Irisviel had obviously never seen Zouken Matou before, but now she looked like she had known Zouken Matou for many years.
