Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

Under the moonlight, the steel factory looks like a huge mechanical beast, standing on the earth.

The factory chimneys tower into the sky, like giant fingers pointing straight to the sky.

Inside the factory, roads criss-cross the factory, huge steel pipes are spread throughout the factory, and old factory buildings are connected one after another.

Even after workers stopped working at night, there was still a pungent smell in the air.

"Hehehehe...hahahaha..."

In a shadowed corner inside the factory, Matou Kariya, wearing a black jacket, hid his face in the hood, his eyes bloodshot with hatred, and let out an arrogant laugh in the silent factory.

When Tosaka Tokiomi discovered that Archer couldn't take down Berserker with dozens of Noble Phantasm shots, the steady Tosaka Tokiomi chose to force Archer to withdraw from the battlefield through a command spell.

Although it was not Archer who was defeated, it was Tohsaka Tokiomi who realized something was wrong and chose to retreat.

But in Matou Kariya's view, it is enough to make Archer, who possesses overwhelming magical power, retreat. The magic that the Tohsaka family has honed over generations of blood can compete with the magic that he has hastily practiced in just one year. Make yourself happy.

Although he is not as good as Tokiomi Tokiomi in all aspects, whether it is family background, magic, or even appearance, he is defeated by Tokiomi Tokiomi.

Even my childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart chose Tokiomi Tokiomi.

But the long-awaited moment finally arrived. After a year of wailing in hell, I finally defeated Tokiomi Tosaka.

He is no longer a lost dog, nor is he an ant that can be crushed to death anywhere.

Now I can fight with you, scare you, make you feel troubled and frightened.

Matou Kariya had already thought of the scene where Tokiomi Tosaka panicked and had to order his Archer to retreat.

A sinner who tramples on the happiness of mother and daughter.

You clearly have everything you desire, but you despise those who don't cherish you.

Tokiomi Tosaka, your delusions and arrogance will eventually be broken by me.

"I actually ran away from my Berserker with my tail between my legs. I made that arrogant guy ashamed!"

"Tokiomi, I really want to see your crying expression with my own eyes, hahahaha!"

Even hidden in the hood, the night couldn't conceal Matou Kariya's excitement and pride.

But this pride did not last long. Matou Kariya laughed and coughed, and then he knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground. A mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth and dripped on the ground.

Along with the blood, there were seven or eight disgusting bugs that were constantly twisting.

Originally, Matou Kariya had no foundation in magic, but in order to become a master, he lived in symbiosis with insects for the past year and used insect control to use magic circuits.

Although he was transformed into a hellish insect nest, not only did his hair turn white, but all functions of his body were damaged, and his life span was only one month.

It turns out that a servant not only needs magic power to keep himself present, but also consumes magic power every time he moves or moves.

Especially the magic power consumed during battle increases exponentially.

In order to maintain Berserker's supply of magic power, Matou Kariya's body is being eaten away by the imprinting insects, squeezing out the life force and converting it into magic power.

The marking worms were not only eating his flesh, but also draining his marrow.

This put him in pain that was worse than death.

"Ugh...! Uh...!"

Matou Kariya, who was invisible in the darkness, covered his mouth to hold back his screams, and blood continued to slide down his palms.

After Archer exited the stage, Berserker actually lost control and rushed towards Saber, who was irrelevant on the battlefield.

When Berserker's excitement created a need for magic power, it aroused the marking insects in his body, allowing them to continue squeezing Matou Kariya's body.

It wasn't until Naiyali once again used the space-time magnetic field to restrain the frantic Berserker, and found that the attack was fruitless, Berserker chose to escape in spirit form.

Berserker, who had returned to his spiritual form, reduced his need for the master's magic power to a minimum, which allowed the imprinted insect in Matou Kariya's body to quiet down.

"That guy Berserker actually lost control in front of Saber..."

Matou Kariya crushed the bugs he spit out to death, stared at his blood-stained hands tremblingly, and murmured to himself while looking at the command spell on the back of his hand.

"But as long as I can continue to control it...as long as my body can hold on...Sakura, wait for me..."

Matou Kariya's physical strength has been drained by the engraved insects. In order to leave here, he had to hold on to the wall and move forward with difficulty.

Just as Matou Kariya staggered forward and left the magic range where he was hiding, he heard a slightly childish voice coming from the darkness ahead.

"Do you really believe that old bug can be trustworthy?"

Hearing the sound coming from the front, Matou Kariya raised his head alertly, widening his eyes to see the figure in the darkness clearly, but was stimulated by a bright light and squinted his eyes.

I saw a figure wearing a metal armor walking slowly.

It was silver-white in color, covered in steel, and had a strange light-emitting device on its chest.

The opponent's appearance does not look like a magician, but instead looks like a warrior from the future technology side.

Accompanied by the sound of "click, click" metal collision, the other party walked up to Matou Kariya.

Looking at the metal man who looked like a future warrior, Matou Kariya asked sharply and alertly: "Who are you? What is your purpose? What do you know?!"

"My name is Chen Yu. Of course you don't know me. You can think of me as a wizard."

Looking at the highly vigilant Matou Kariya, Chen Yu reluctantly explained his identity, lifted his mask, and revealed a slightly childish face.

Seeing that the operator driving the metal armor was actually a boy only six or seven years older than Sakura, Matou Kariya also took off the brim of his hat, revealing pale hair and a pale face.

"Wizard? Not a magician? And you don't dress like a wizard either."

Matou Kariya looked at Chen Yu's appearance in astonishment.

The boy wearing a futuristic armor actually calls himself a wizard.

This is as ridiculous as the Big Bad Wolf putting on a hood and lying about being Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.

Chen Yu threw something from his backpack to Matou Kariya.

"One bite of this apple will restore a lot of your vitality, which will make your body drained by the imprinting bugs feel better."

An apple can only restore 300 health points.

The vitality of ordinary people is only about 100, and the vitality of wizards is about 400-500.

Generally, the body of a magician is not as strong as a wizard's vitality. An apple from Teyvat is enough to replenish Matou Kariya's vitality, and there may be some leftover.

Looking at the apple thrown over by Chen Yu, he hesitated for a moment.

"You know the Engraving Worm? Why do you want to help me? I don't believe there are good people in this world who help others selflessly."

Chen Yu smiled: "Because of Ying, I don't want Ying to be in jail and let a good girl continue to be ruined by bugs."

Matou Kariya frowned, thinking about Sakura's relationship with the boy in front of her.

Is he Sakura's senior? Or Sakura's best friend? Or maybe Sakura's relative or cousin?

He had never heard Sakura tell anyone about a boy she knew.

"You may not understand the relationship between me, a little boy, and Sakura... The answer is simple, there is no relationship at all."

"I simply can't stand what your old bastard is doing."

"You can think of me as a passing knight of justice. When I see something dirty, I will naturally find a way to clean it up."

"Don't you want to end the darkness that has lasted for hundreds of years in your family?"

After hearing the other party's explanation, Matou Kariya endured the pain caused by the imprinted worm in his body and said forcefully: "Who you are has nothing to do with me. I participated in the Holy Grail War just to kill that bitch Tokiomi Tosaka. , as long as I can win the Holy Grail War, Sakura can be saved! There is no need for outsiders to intervene!"

Chen Yu stared into Matou Kariya's eyes: "How can you be sure that Matou Zangyan will definitely follow the agreement you made and give up Sakura? With your current tattered body, even if the old insect agreed to your request at the time, etc. Didn't Sakura fall into his hands the same way after you died?"

Matou Kariya staggered back two steps and defended Fang Cun Da Chao: "No, he promised me that as long as I can obtain the Holy Grail and realize his long-cherished wish, Sakura will be useless and will be sent back to Aoi. This way Sakura can return to her normal life!"

Hearing Matou Kariya's defense, Chen Yu explained with a sneer: "Let Sakura return to normal life? Then you are too naive. Rin and Sakura are both geniuses. One of them is a full element, with five combined attributes, and the other One is an overhead element, an imaginary number attribute.”

"Both of these sisters have rare qualifications that are equivalent to miracles. This goes beyond the scope of so-called talents and is almost equivalent to a spell."

"You have to know that demonic nature will also attract demonic nature, just like an outstanding person who is far away from the outside world will inevitably attract the same abnormal experience. This is beyond the control of his own will."

"Do you know the seal designation of the Clock Tower?"

Facing Chen Yu's aggressiveness, Matong Yanye was a little confused.

"Seal designation?"

It was the first time Matou Kariya heard this name. In the past year, apart from staying in a hellish insect nest to be transformed by imprinting insects and practicing manipulating insects, Matou Zouken had not taught him much about magic at all. common sense in the world.

Even though he knew that the Clock Tower was a behemoth in the magic world, he still didn't know what the seal designation meant.

"You haven't heard of it? Then let me explain it to you. The so-called seal designation is a trick played by the magicians in the Clock Tower."

"At best, in the name of 'protection', magicians with rare talents or who violate taboos are detained and captured, and imprisoned for life. At worst, they are turned into living specimens and used as research subjects."

"Guess why Tokiomi gave his daughter to others? The reason is very simple. The Tosaka family's protection can only be given to one of them, and the Tosaka family's magic seal can only be passed to one of Rin or Sakura, and the other One cannot follow the path of magic.”

"But once the Magic Association discovers that the Tosaka family has two rare daughters, but they can only pass it on to one person. Those guys will happily soak the other girl in formalin as a specimen collection in the name of protection. stand up."

"Because of this, when Tosaka Tokiomi learned that the Matou family wanted Sakura as their adopted daughter, it was nothing short of a gift from God. It would allow both of his beloved daughters to inherit first-rate magic. Not bound by blood and cause and effect, explore their own ways of life."

"You know, in the eyes of Tokiomi Tosaka, what you Matou use is a gorgeous magic that is like the transformation of a butterfly. He doesn't know that the insect magic used by your Matou family now is so disgusting."

"Impossible! Impossible! It's impossible! You're lying to me! Berser...!! Uh-huh..."

When Matou Kariya heard the news about the designated seal from the Magic Association for the first time, it was like a bolt from the blue.

He couldn't believe that he had risked his life only to find that it was all in vain.

Even if she obtains the Holy Grail and returns Sakura to the Tohsaka family, she still cannot escape her tragic fate.

In a state of mental confusion, he planned to summon Berserker, first capture the boy in the metal armor in front of him, and then verify everything he said himself.

"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!"

Chen Yu immediately cast a tongue-locking and throat-sealing spell, causing Matou Kariya's tongue to stick to the roof of his mouth, which also prevented him from issuing clear instructions through the command spell.

Looking at Matou Kariya who kept trying to get rid of the influence of the lock tongue, Chen Yu said helplessly: "Don't rush to summon Berserker. Even if you summon him, you can't catch me. After all, I am also Caster's Master. On."

Hearing that Chen Yu was still Caster's Master, Matou Kariya struggled even more vigorously.

"Don't be so excited. In fact, Sakura has another way to survive, which is to inherit the insect magic of your Matou family. Of course, I don't mean the disgusting insect magic, but the gorgeous magic like the transformation of a butterfly."

"As long as Matou Zangyan is killed, aren't you the only one who can take charge of the whole Matou family? Then it will be you who has the final say on what kind of life Sakura wants to live? Don't you want Sakura to call you 'Dad'?" '?"

"Although I don't have the means to extend your life for the time being, your body is just depleted by bugs. As long as you replenish your vitality, you should still have more than ten years to live. If you get it, you don't want to watch Sakura grow up little by little." Is it big?"

"And I know the memory erasing spell. I can erase Sakura's painful memories and let her grow up like a normal person..."

Chen Yu's words were like the temptation of a devil, and Matou Kariya's struggle became weaker and weaker.

Seeing that Matou Kariya was no longer struggling, Chen Yu also lifted the influence of the locking tongue and throat sealing curse.

Matou Kariya rubbed his chin that was about to be dislocated. He was almost convinced by Chen Yu's words.

So he asked: "If I agree to kill Matou Zouken, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't do anything, just don't come over and cause trouble with your Berserker when I raid the old bug, causing the old bug to escape."

Hearing Chen Yu's request was so simple, Matou Kariya smiled bitterly: "Since the imprinting insect was implanted in my body, I have become Zang Yan's puppet and I can no longer go against his will..."

Looking at Matou Kariya who smiled bitterly, Chen Yu shook the wand in his hand: "In that case, I can only offend him first."

"Out-of-body experience!"
