Infinite Anecdotes

And when Sakura raised his head from the fallen state in surprise, he saw the figure of an old man appearing in the room. The shriveled body exuded the smell of decay, and the limbs and head were as terrifying as a living mummy——

Sakura recognized that, at the moment, the one who was in close contact with this mysterious Servant was the head of the Matou family, Matou Zaoyan, who had caused her countless pains.

"It's really an unruly Servant. As a tool, it should be used properly by the Master. It's really disturbing to do such a behavior without obeying orders." Matou Zuoyan leaned on a cane, his deep eyes from Tang Cheng's. He moved his body behind him and issued an order to Sakura: "Sakura, quickly use the Command Spell to order this disobedient Servant to stop, so that he will absolutely obey your orders from now on."

Even if Zuo Yan didn't want to admit it, from the current situation, the summoning ceremony that was supposed to be perfect had unexpectedly failed.

He had been monitoring the progress of the ceremony in this room before, until Shinji was killed, he just watched quietly.Just like the long dormancy and waiting for more than 500 years, it stands to reason that according to the sacred relic he handed over to Sakura, heroes related to the Greek gods should be summoned, but judging from the current results, the eyes This black-haired, brown-eyed man with a clear Asian appearance was wrongly summoned to something else.

He can no longer stand by and watch. Shinji's death is nothing, he's just an ineffective grandson, but if this Servant, who plays his cards out of common sense, attacks Sakura the next moment, it will completely disrupt what he has been secretly planning for so many years. s plan.

If you think about it carefully, what he said to Shinji at the beginning, "The Holy Grail War is a contest between mages, and Servants are just weapons to win" is like making fun of himself. Generally speaking, there are Servants who will Do you compare yourself to a tool?

After all, the so-called Heroic Spirits refer to those who have made extraordinary contributions to the world in the past, present, and future and have legends.

Could it be that……

Just when he was thinking about these issues, Matou Sakura had already activated the Command Spell according to Zuo Yan's order to quiet down the heroic spirit named Tang Cheng. No, in other words, in addition to killing Shinji, he also blocked Zuo Yan. When the attack was launched, the man almost stood there and didn't move.

"Why are you so nervous, don't you think it's a pity to use a Command Spell for such a trivial matter?" Tang Cheng said with a smile while holding his arms.

But Sakura ignored his teasing. She ran over anxiously, picked up the debris on the ground, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why do you do such an excessive thing?"

"Because I don't want to take orders from that man, as I said just now, Servant is just a winning weapon, how to win depends on the master's ability and strategy. Once you replace the incompetent master, my Your ability will also become weaker, since you want to win, shouldn't it be very simple to solve this hidden danger as soon as possible?" Tang Cheng spread his hands and narrowed his eyes: "Although people have the power of swords, swords also have to choose their masters. "

Zuo Yan ignored Sakura, who was sobbing softly for Shinji's death. Those sunken eyes stared straight at Tang Cheng: "Who are you?"

"Do you need to say it again..." The man scratched his head in a bit of trouble: "The rank is Rider, and the name is Tang Cheng. As you can see, he is just a little-known and unknown person. Although it is so, but, My goal is to win this game, and if someone keeps dragging their feet, I'm sorry."

"Huh, do you really think you can win the Holy Grail?" Matou Zaiyan found that he was very interested in this heroic spirit. If he guessed correctly, this heroic spirit is likely to come back from the future, because the Holy Grail itself does not It is the projection of this world and has no concept of time, so theoretically, the Holy Grail can not only summon the great men and gods of the past, but also those who are related to the Holy Grail War in the future.

A Heroic Spirit who can predict the future, plus the No. [-] Holy Grail made from the Holy Grail Fragment buried in Sakura's body, perhaps, I don't need to wait for the next ten years.

"Because I have an amazing secret treasure that no other heroic spirit has." Tang Cheng said.

"Is it because you know the direction of the future?" At that moment, the two small pupils in Zuo Yan's deep-set eyes shone with light.

Tang Cheng was stunned for a while, then raised his head: "Huh?"

"You are a heroic spirit who was summoned from the near future, right?" Tang Cheng's reaction further confirmed the conjecture in Zuo Yan's heart. When he said this with such confidence, his voice was interrupted ruthlessly and ruthlessly. .

"No." The other party sighed.

"What?" Zuo Yan didn't understand what the other party meant. Could it be that he was wrong.

"You're more boring than I thought," Tang Cheng waved his hand out of thin air, and a weapon unexpectedly appeared in his hand.It was a short sword called Wuming, not so much a sword as it was a chain thorn formed by a chain.Then, his eyes slowly focused on the opposite of him: "What I want to tell you is not this, but that I can kill you at will."

"Hahahaha, all heroic spirits are limited by Command Spells, as long as there is Sakura's Command Spell... eh?" Zuo Yan's unpleasant laughter was only halfway through, and his mouth was blocked.

Just like when a scorpion hunts, it will hoist its poisonous tail around the opponent's body and stab the back, a sharp spike is passing through the heart of the dirty inkstone from the back.

In the next second, his vision was blurred by the severe blood loss, and his body was uncontrollably pulled by the thorns, and then fell forward on the floor.He stretched out his arms weakly, only to see Sakura with tears in his eyes and a terrified face, and the man who heard footsteps approaching

"Why...what..." he asked with the last of his strength.

But the man put the heel of the heavy leather shoe on his head, and answered the question perfectly, but seemed to answer his question perfectly.

"Probably because I hate bugs."

5.Matou Sakura

The room fell silent again.

Because all the guys in the way have disappeared.

Tang Cheng looked down at the smashed carrion under his feet.

He knew very well that the old man didn't die so easily. Matou Zoe's real body was a brain worm, and now it was parasitic in Sakura's heart, waiting for Angela Manuel (the one who lived in the Black Holy Grail) Evil) and Sakura merge into one, usurping the fruits of immortality.

The reason why we choose to parasitize in the heart is of course because the heart itself is the most vulnerable place for human beings.

If he wants to eradicate the grass now, he will risk the complete loss of the Master. This is an unwilling risk for Tang Cheng. Fortunately, he is very aware of the old man's forbearance and will not be willing to die unless it is necessary. Instead, he is like Assassin. So, curl up in the dark and wait for the moment to win.

Tang Cheng withdrew his gaze from the pile of minced meat, and as his thoughts reached, new content appeared on his retina-this was a belated clearance condition.

Mode: Deathmatch mode.

Copy: Fate/Stay ~light

Victory Condition: Obtain the Holy Grail or defeat other Awakened

Failure Condition: Obtain the Holy Grail from another Awakened or die

Since it is the Holy Grail War, is the key to victory still the Holy Grail?

However, it looks like killing the other Awakeneds can also achieve the purpose of winning.

Different goals have different strategies, but before thinking about it, Tang Cheng subconsciously glanced at Sakura who was huddled in the corner.

In the script of the death competition, as long as it is a role related to the symbiosis with the awakened person, the suspicion of other awakened person can be ruled out (the Master in Fate will affect the Servant's ability and is responsible for providing the magic power of the Servant's actions), although even if the magic power is interrupted Tang Cheng won't really disappear like a real Heroic Spirit, but there is also the worry that his attributes will drop after losing the Master.

Moreover, without the support of the characters in the plot, it is impossible to carry out investigation work and activities according to local conditions, and it is easier to expose the target and be under the calculation and siege of other opponents. For these reasons, Tang Cheng felt that it was necessary to repair him. He has an already tense relationship with his Master.

Tang Cheng's eyes turned to the corner of the wall, where a girl's figure curled up, Matou Sakura, Tang Cheng knew that was her name.

As a tragic character in every work in the Moonlight World, Matou Sakura bears the malice of all authors, was adopted at a young age, suffered inhuman abuse, and emotional forbearance and frustration.No one wants to listen to her, no one can understand her. She was originally a pure and kind girl, but she was abused over and over again by the endless maliciousness of this world.

If it were someone else, Tang Cheng's current role would be a perverted murderer who would kill the whole family if he didn't agree, but Sakura was different. With her experience, Tang Cheng was sure to draw her to his side. , let her accept her own.
