That night, Alvin left the Tohsaka family.

After activating the power of 'Night Watchman EX', he shuttled through the snowy night like a dark shadow and sneaked into Yuanzang Mountain silently.

After the last Holy Grail War, the Greater Holy Grail of Fuyuki seems to have been moved, but its core is still buried in Mount Enzo.

I just don't know where the three great families hid the Holy Grail...

Alvin was about to close his eyes and feel the presence of the Holy Grail.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a stealthy figure climbing up the stairs from the back mountain with difficulty.

The wizard dressed in white, holding a staff, does not look like a crown Caster at all, but rather looks very stealthy.

——Merlin!

The other party looked around furtively, and then his face darkened: "Come out, I know you are hiding here."

Alvin was shocked and thought to himself, I have already activated the most advanced breath blocking power, how did this guy discover my... ?

Could it be that my Assassin is fake?

He was just about to walk out of the darkness in a depressed mood, when the stealthy white-haired wizard withdrew his gaze contentedly and headed towards a certain direction on the top of the mountain.

The expression on Alvin's face quickly became a little strange.

It was obvious that Merlin hadn't noticed his presence at all, he was just playing tricks.

I didn't expect that he almost cheated me.

I think he is more of a liar than Sister Wang... Alvin muttered in his heart. Seeing that Merlin had walked away, he kept his breath blocked and followed behind Merlin all the time.

In fact, this pair is a pair of enemies among enemies. Merlin has the ability to see through the present, but he can't see Alvin who has activated 'Night Watcher EX'.

Alvin possesses unreasonable brute force, but he has no way to deal with a magician like Merlin who is good at illusion.

If you can't defeat him, he'll use illusions to escape... It's not easy to catch this white-haired wizard.

The mountain top was filled with wind and snow at night, and it was bitingly cold.

But for the Servants, they don't feel the cold.

As soon as the footprints on the ground were stepped on, they were immediately buried by the wind and snow.

Alvin followed behind Merlin, feeling increasingly puzzled. Logically speaking, they were both Servants who had just accepted the Holy Grail War. How could Merlin know so much about the burial place of the Greater Holy Grail?

Also, why would he sneak into a place like this without telling Illya...?

With doubts in their hearts, they unknowingly arrived at the cliff on the top of the mountain.

Merlin raised his staff and tapped the ground lightly.

hum!

At that moment, the entire Yuanzang Mountain seemed to emit a slight roar.

Alvin had just stepped across the ice when he suddenly saw a flying insect with extremely complex patterns flying past him.

The flying insect's abdomen was translucent, and the shadow of the Holy Grail vaguely emerged from its abdomen.

"…Marking Bug?"

Alvin's pupils shrank and he was extremely shocked.

Because he soon saw a scene that was enough to give him goosebumps.

More and more engraved worms emerged from the cracks in the ice, weaving into an inverted Tower of Babel in the air.

And in the center of the area surrounded by the engraved worms, a temple seemed to be vaguely visible.

It was a temple that seemed to stand in the snow-capped mountains.

When was such a temple built on Yuanzang Mountain?

As soon as this thought flashed through Alvin's mind, he saw Merlin turning his head and looking behind him with a smile.

"These little guys have transformed the entire mountain into a Beast hatchery..."

"What do you think, Alvin?"

In the darkness, the shadow twisted.

After a while, Alvin came out from the shadows and looked at the white-haired wizard in front of him. "When did you discover me?"

"At first I didn't realize anyone was following me. It wasn't until this thing appeared just now that I noticed your presence."

Merlin smiled and pointed to the shadow of the snow mountain temple in front.

"There's a Beast sleeping in here... It absorbs the emotions of others and transforms them into its own strength. You might not realize it, but it sensed your feelings just now."

"Normally, a person's emotions aren't this intense... It looks like you encountered something at your Master's house that caused you to experience extreme emotional fluctuations."

"Are you out late at night just to relax?"

Merlin asked with a smile.

“Sometimes asking too much is not a good thing.”

Alvin said calmly, "Have you known about the monster hidden in Yuanzang Mountain?"

"On the first night after I accepted the Master's summons, He tried to devour my emotions,"

Merlin shrugged, "But He failed. After all, I don't know this thing at all."

Nightmares do not understand human emotions. It is quite the opposite. Nightmares themselves are creatures that like to savor "emotions".

"Is this the reason you accepted Illya's summons?"

Alvin looked up solemnly at the temple in the snow-capped mountains. He could feel an extremely terrifying aura in it.

These engraved insects are probably transporting "negative emotions" to Yuanzang Mountain every night to serve as nourishment for the beasts in the temple.

Merlin nodded noncommittally. "If I'm not mistaken, this thing should have existed since the last Holy Grail War."

"It's absorbed ten years of negative emotions as nutrients... If the things inside come out in the future, it will cause huge trouble."

The fact that Merlin even said the word "trouble" was enough to show how much he feared the creatures in here.

"By the way, have you found out where the Crest Worms came from?"

At this moment, Merlin suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile: "You should have investigated this matter tonight, right?"

Tonight, when Rider's Master escaped, he left behind a piece of insect wings engraved with a bug, and Merlin had obviously noticed this at the time.

Alvin's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said lightly: "No clues."

"Is that so... That's a pity."

Merlin pretended to sigh softly, "If we don't deal with this thing, when it revives in the future, it will definitely devour the girl behind it who controls the engraving worm."

"By then... her consciousness might no longer be her own."

Alvin glanced at the man calmly.

"Merlin, you are still born the same as always."

"I sincerely want to save humanity."

Merlin smiled helplessly: "I'm staying in the tower and doing fine. Do you think I want to come out and work, Alvin?"

"What can you do?"

Alvin asked simply.

"Even if a young Beast is left to its own devices, its destructive power is beyond human endurance..."

Merlin turned his head to look at the shadow of the temple behind him, "But there are limits to what a Servant can do..."

Are you trying to say that you're no longer a human being... Alvin said in a deep voice: "Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me!"

"The Beast within here is likely attempting to use the Chaos Tide, the Black Mud, and the negative emotions of the people of this city as a medium to fully manifest itself."

Merlin smiled and said, "But he probably hasn't thought about who owns the Chaos Tide."

Alvin smiled approvingly: "It seems we have the same idea."

You know, in order to make the creatures in the Holy Grail appear in the world, the engraved insects have been working hard for nearly ten years. Now, who knows how much "black mud" has accumulated in the Holy Grail.

Ordinary people might not be able to do anything about the black mud, but if it's Tiamat...

Alvin and Merlin looked at each other, and the latter walked to the corner very sensibly.

Alvin took a deep breath: "Mom!"

With a low roar, a scarlet crack appeared in the dark night.

In the gap, an extremely beautiful and graceful figure quietly descended.

——Tiamat.

She landed lightly on the ground, her skirt brushing gently over the snow. Wherever she passed, the "black mud" hidden in Yuanzang Mountain boiled like a song of joy.

In an instant, countless corpses of the engraved insects fell like rain.

...She was absorbing the black mud that was supposed to serve as nutrients for the beast of desire!

……

Late at night, at the Matou family home.

The night was quiet, and snowflakes were falling from the iron-gray sky.

Matou Sakura suddenly woke up as if from a nightmare. The moment she opened her eyes, she didn't change her clothes, but whispered: "Rider!"

The door opened, and the royal sister with loose purple hair came to the girl silently.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Go to Yuanzang Mountain...someone is doing something to the things there."

Matou Sakura said in a low voice.

Her usual gentle look was gone, replaced only by an extremely dark and cold expression.

Obviously, this is not Sakura Matou's own personality, but another consciousness in the body.

——BeastⅢ/L, the beast of desire named 'Kama'.

Although she had an agreement with Matou Sakura at the beginning that they would not attack Haku under any circumstances, there was a big premise... that guy had to be obedient and submit to her.

otherwise……

The so-called white dragon... is just her food.

Chapter 196: Matou Sakura’s assist.

In fact, before this, Alvin had never thought of such a bold move.

Rider's Master, or the 'Beast' in the Holy Grail, has been secretly absorbing human 'emotions' over the years in order to evolve from a cub into a complete beast, even destroying the barrier that purifies the Holy Grail.

However...even the other party probably wouldn't have thought that the real person who could control the tide of chaos actually appeared in the world.

In other words, Alvin can summon her out at any time.

Letting Tiamat devour the 'tide of chaos' in the Holy Grail in advance can be considered a kind of 'purification' in a sense.

"Aaaaa—"

As if she was enjoying the food, Tiamat opened her mouth slightly and sang loudly.

Merlin smiled with satisfaction and nodded, "Very good, let's press on and convert all the 'black mud' in the Holy Grail into our own power, Mother Goddess of Creation!"

sizzle...

However, at this moment, a sound like an electric current suddenly came to my ears.

Merlin's eyes fixed, and he saw that Tiamat, who had just been suspended in mid-air swallowing the "Tide of Chaos", now seemed to have a crack quietly opening beside her.

An extremely terrifying aura gushed out from the crack.

Merlin's expression changed slightly at the sudden change: "Not good! We need to make her stop first!"

Tiamat's true body has been in a dormant state, and now after the 'spirit' summoned by Alvin has devoured the tide of chaos, this power has been directly transmitted to the true body in the imaginary world.

If he continued to 'eat' like this...Fuyuki's Beast might not evolve into a complete Beast, but Tiamat in the imaginary world would awaken.
