Lost Narrative Poetry

Coming from the other side, coming here, whirlwind and lightning wrap around the legendary phantom.

Originally a human being, he has escaped from the human realm. He was promoted to the genus of elves with inhuman divine power. Coming from the Seat of Heroic Spirits, the Servant woven by countless people's dreams descended on the earth at this moment.

"Whoa whoa!"

The weird, mummy-like bald old man also widened his eyes, with light shining in his sunken eye sockets. He focused all his attention on the summoned Servant, trying to see clearly what kind of card he had drawn.

Just like drawing cards, drawing cards in reality is naturally more exciting. It is definitely not comparable to something like drawing a few stones into the soul.

After all, this is not a game. If you can't draw what you want, you can continue to draw by repeating krypton gold. Generally speaking, in the Holy Grail War, each Master can only have one Servant, and he can basically only rely on such a Servant to conquer the world.

Therefore, what kind of cards are drawn will completely decisively affect the winning or losing rate in the Holy Grail War.

Even he cannot remain calm on this issue. After all, this is what he has been pursuing for a long time...

"puff!"

A sudden sharp pain came from his back, interrupting the old man's thoughts!

An extremely sharp bone dagger stabbed the old man's heart from behind with incomparable precision. The accumulated cold air burst out violently at once, freezing his entire aging body in an instant! Even the crutches he was leaning on were instantly covered with a layer of white frost, and a hint of coldness spread in the air!

It seemed that because the thing happened too suddenly, the bald old man was unable to make any response. He just maintained his original posture and his ugly life was terminated.

The next moment, the ebony-like blade flashed past and ruthlessly penetrated the lifelike ice sculpture's head!

The energy absorption effect activates! The magic knife is frantically extracting the magic power from the aging body of this heretic magician!

The forbidden magic field effect is activated! The magic knife is releasing silence, forcibly stopping all spells or spell-like abilities of the target unit, preventing the enemy from resisting or escaping through spells!

The chaotic magic effect activates! The curse of the magic knife has begun to take effect, marking the victims it strikes!

There was a clicking sound!

Without even uttering a wailing cry, the magician who had been in the Matou family for who knows how many generations, the patriarch of the Matou lineage, Matou Zangyan, was shattered into pieces, and even the pieces of meat and bones were shattered and scattered along with the frozen ice. All over the place.

He was originally a magician with powerful power, but the problem was not in this aspect, but that he never dreamed that he would die unexpectedly in his magic workshop——

The location of the magic workshop is the magician's position. It is the end of the natural principles that the magician has accumulated over several years or even decades, sometimes even several generations. It is also something like a fortress formed by the continuous accumulation of magic institutions. .

For a qualified magician, the workshop is like a camp, the first and last trump card. In order to deal with those self-righteous challengers and despicable thieves, a large number of multiple defensive spells are usually deployed in the workshop.

There is nothing wrong with this understanding, nor is there any problem. It's just that there was a slight accident today.

Someone did not break through the Matou Residence and trigger a large number of alarms and defense techniques outside, because he did not sneak in or break in openly, but appeared in this world from the beginning, right in the workshop. core zone……

——When the lost person enters the mission world, it is completely random. They may appear at any time and place. They may be in the treasure house, or they may fall directly into the crater.

Space adjustments in this area are not launched all the time, and adjustments are only based on the principle of protection.

In other words, the same situation also varies from person to person. A newcomer who has not been strengthened will be directly fatal if he falls into the crater; while a strong person may fall in and just take a bath in the magma lake at the beginning.

For the former, the space will be adjusted, the location of appearance will be changed, and the newcomer will be moved to a suitable starting situation. For the latter, there will be no interference...

This time, Xia Ran happened to encounter a small probability event, and the spatial judgment of the opening was not fatal to him at this level of strength, so he did not make adjustments, and Matou Zangyan became fatal. Danger.

Because there was no preparation, it was naturally impossible to deal with such a sudden attack. It was ended in an instant, and it was natural for it to unfold.

Withdrawing the ebony blade, Xia Ran frowned slightly: "He's not dead yet?!"

The next moment, he looked around, and then his eyes were fixed on the black mud pool not far away. Relying on the whisper of spiritual energy, he was able to confirm that there were a large number of bugs in it, so he raised his hand and blasted it with a fireball!

A violent explosion sounded, and the underground secret room shook like a mountain. The flames burned brightly, spreading in all directions in layers!

The black mud pool was directly blown to pieces, and was roasted by extremely deadly high-temperature flames. It quickly lost all moisture and became dry. A large number of disgusting bugs that multiplied inside also died suddenly at the same time.

This was not the end yet. Xia Ran, who wanted to kill the virus thoroughly, just waved his hand gently, and the flame rune traps that had been laid out before appeared around him and began to flash red.

Then--

As if grenades were detonated one after another, the flames burst out and exploded directly with his thoughts, almost sweeping the entire space of the underground insect warehouse. The green darkness like the deep sea was instantly covered by the blazing fire and high temperature heat. Crush!

Only Xia Ran and the two figures in the magic circle not far away were protected by the invisible barrier force in the raging sea of ​​​​purgatory fire. Even though the fierce flames from the outside were layer upon layer and baking the space, there was no way. Invading three people within the barrier.

The man who appeared in the summoning array was wearing pitch-black armor and was shrouded in black mist. The mad figure did not move at all. This was probably because he did not receive the order, and the Master and himself were not attacked. It was more likely that he did not see it. Things that drive him crazy...

It was also because Xia Ran had timed his attack just right. When the drawing effect had just started, the wind and clouds were rolling, thunder and lightning flashed, he had already started killing people violently, and set off flames that swept through the entire underground insect warehouse.

After that, less than a second passed before the Berserker was truly summoned and able to exist stably in this world. Just like when a magical girl transforms, that period of time does not actually exist. Only after the transformation is completed, the magical girl will interact with the surrounding environment.

Therefore, when this Berserker really appeared in the world, Xia Ran had already completed all attacks, and at the same time opened a mental shield to protect it from friendly forces... ahem, that is Lieyan's burning.

This series of precisely calculated operations were completed in less than two seconds without causing any hatred.

There was also the white-haired man, Matou Kariya. His body reached its limit after completing the Servant Summoning Ceremony due to too much pain. He just managed to hold on with his breath and tenacity. That's why I didn't pass out.

But he couldn't even speak. He just lay on the ground, his limbs twitching, his whole body twitching, blood dripping from his intact eyes, and he gasped for breath... He was so embarrassed.

But then again, it was probably because of his appearance that Matou Zangyan was defenseless, right? The old man was not worried that he would be attacked suddenly, because he knew that even if his son had the intention, he would never be able to order the Servants to kill him at close range as soon as he completed the summons...

At this moment, although Matou Kariya was embarrassed and in pain and could not speak at all, he still looked in great shock at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him accompanied by the raging sea of ​​fire, his eyes full of shock!

He almost didn't realize what was going on, and he didn't even see what it was like. The old guy was shattered to pieces like this?

And you can't even say a word?

"That disgusting old bug is not dead yet... If the soul of that old guy's body is not defeated, he can continue to survive. Everything about him has become an alien, whether it is posture or soul..."

Xia Ran looked directly at the white-haired man and said seriously and directly.

"Matou Kariya, whose body do you think its body may be parasitic on? It doesn't seem to be on you. If you know, please tell me about it. We'd better seize this opportunity to kill it completely..."

"Don't tell me, you really hope to negotiate conditions with it, hoping to get it to promise you something... With your current appearance, if you die, it will never remember your value. What should you do? Or how to do it..."

While saying these words, he released a spell to soothe the mind, allowing the man to quickly calm down and enhance the persuasiveness of his words through mental suggestions.

Naturally, Xia Ran didn't know where the body of Matou Zangyan was hidden. After cleaning out the underground insect warehouse once, he already understood the old guy's methods without receiving a kill prompt.

However, he did not immediately go straight to the mansion above to eradicate the roots. Instead, he chose to ask Matou Yanye.

Firstly, it is to release his goodwill and let this man give his next goal. It is better than letting him mistakenly think that Xia Ran is directly going to hurt Matou Sakura. If this happens, the Servant will go crazy and fight, which will be bad. .

Secondly, it is to prepare for subsequent negotiations, because Xia Ran's insertion was neither too late nor too early. Now the seven seats in the Holy Grail War are already a carrot and a pit. At this time, it is estimated that all the Masters have The Servant has been summoned.

Only Matou Kariya is the most suitable candidate for negotiation, because this man doesn't care about the Holy Grail War at all. He endured so much torture and paid so much price just to use the Holy Grail in exchange for Sakura to leave the Matou family.

"Matou Zouken's...original body..."

"I don't seem to have..."

Matou Kariya murmured to himself, and suddenly felt that he was extremely calm at this moment. It seemed that the pain of physical collapse did not affect his mental thinking at all, and he was able to think more clearly.

This is an opportunity!

Perhaps the only real opportunity! We must seize this opportunity to kill that old guy!

Because he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to defeat all other opponents and win the Holy Grail, and he couldn't guarantee that Matou Zōyan would abide by his agreement. After all, at that time, whether he failed and died or won the Holy Grail, he would not survive more than a month.

What if the old guy didn't admit it at all at that time? ! Is there anything he can do?

In the final analysis, it's not that Matou Kariya didn't think of this before, but he really can't do anything. He can only hope that Matou Zangyan will show mercy, and this is the only straw he can grasp.

But at this time, he saw another ray of light. Although he didn't know the origin of the magician in front of him, whether he was good or bad... but strictly speaking, he couldn't be worse than that disgusting old guy!

"Sakura! It may be on Sakura's body, the little girl above..."

The white-haired man suddenly raised his head, and his only intact right eye was staring at the young man in front of him.

"But please don't hurt her! Please..."

"I understand." Xia Ran nodded, then stared at him, "Are you still able to stand up? If you are worried, you can go up together..."

Matou Kariya immediately started struggling, but the ceremony just now really pushed him to the limit. It was a luxury to get up now... After a while, he gave up struggling and raised his head to look at Xia Ran:

"Sorry, I can't stand up. Please leave me alone and don't waste time... Go and deal with that old guy! And don't hurt Sakura..."

There was really no other way, and what the magician had just said made him feel more at ease, so he could only grit his teeth and take a gamble.
