Final Trial of Mankind

Page 1010

By the third month, all the hair had turned white, and scars had appeared everywhere on the skin.

The other places lost all blood and turned into a ghostly earthy gray.

Toxins called mana circulate in the veins, which can be seen swelling from beneath the almost transparent skin

, The whole body seems to be covered with blue and black cracks.

In this way, the collapse of the body is proceeding faster than imagined, especially for the god on the left side of the body.

The blow to the classics was relatively serious, and the left wrist and left foot were even completely paralyzed at one time.

The function has been restored, but the reaction of the left hand is still slower than that of the right hand. Once the left foot walks faster, the left foot will drag the floor.

Heart palpitations due to irregular pulse are commonplace, and solid objects cannot be eaten while eating.

Replace with dextrose infusion.

From the perspective of modern medicine, it is amazing that a living body can still function.

Strangely enough, Kariya can still stand and walk despite this, ironically, it's all thanks to his dexterity

The favor of a magician's magical power in exchange for his life.

The engraving worm that has been eroding Kariya's body for a year has grown to the point where it can be used as a simulated magic circuit

It has reached the point of functioning, and now it is desperately functioning in order to extend the life of its dying master.

In terms of the number of magic circuits alone, Kariya already has the necessary magic power for a magician.

It seems that this progress has exceeded expectations for Matou Zouken.

As a result, Kariya's right hand now has three traces of Command Spells, and the Holy Grail seems to agree

He is the representative of the Matou family.

According to Zouken's estimate, Kariya's life is probably only one month left. From Kariya's own point of view, these

There is enough time.

The Holy Grail War has entered the countdown stage, if all seven Servants are summoned, the war

The prelude to the war can even kick off tomorrow, and the practice of the war will take about two weeks based on past experience.

Right, there is still some time before Kariya's death.

However, Kariya activated the magic circuit now, which meant stimulating the engraver.

Of course, the burden on the body at that time was much greater than other magicians.

In the worst case, the imprinted worms had already devoured the host before the battle was decided.

It is not just the other six Masters that Kariya has to fight with, it can even be said that the biggest enemy is Yuki

something that resides in him.

That night, Kariya went to the basement of the Matou mansion in order to challenge the final test. On the way, he met Sakura.

Suddenly met in the hallway.

The timid expression that appeared on Sakura's face when they first met Kariya slightly hurt Kariya's chest.

Even though there is no other way to deal with it now, she has actually become the object of Sakura's fear.

It was very painful for Kariya.

"Yo, Sakura! Are you startled?"

"Hmm! Face, what's wrong?"

"Ah! It's just a small problem."

As of yesterday, the vision in the left eye completely disappeared, just like the necrotic cloudy white eyeball, the muscles around the eye

It is also completely paralyzed, and the eyelids and eyebrows cannot move. Probably the left half of the face has shown a dead appearance, like a fake

The face is as stiff and motionless.

Even looking in the mirror, I would be shocked, let alone Sakura.

"It's still a little bit close. It seems that I'm going to lose to the bugs in my body. Uncle can't bear it like Sakura."

At first I wanted to smile wryly, but it seemed to turn into a terrifying expression again, Sakura became even more frightened,

Even shrank his body.

"Uncle Kariya, it seems that you have been replaced by another person."

"Haha, maybe so."

Cover up the ambiguity with dry laughter.

"Sakura, you too."

【yes! 】Kariya said something in his heart.

Now Sakura, who changed her surname to Matou, has completely turned into a girl who is completely different from the Sakura Kariya knew.

Empty and dim eyes like a doll, the emotions in those eyes have never been seen in this year.

I have seen the face of the innocent girl who used to play like a puppy behind her sister Rin, and her face has long been swaying.

But there is nothing left.

This is of course understandable, this year, in order to become the magic heir of the Matou family, think of Sakura

The cruel education received.

It is true that Sakura's body has good qualities to become a magician, and in this regard, she is better than Kariya and his brother

Tsuruno is much better.

However, after all, that is suitable for the quality of magic of the Tohsaka family, and it is fundamentally different from the magic of the Matou family.

In order to make Sakura's body suitable for Matou's magic, it needs to be adjusted, this is treated as an adjustment

, In the underground worm bank of the Matou family, the abuse in the name of education was carried out day and night.

A child's spirit is immature.

They have neither the firm belief nor the strength to turn their lamentation into anger in the face of a cruel fate

, no one offers them options to confront with willpower.

Not only that, because the children have not yet realized life, so they do not even have the spirit of dignity and hope.

There are perfectly bred well.

Therefore, when forced to the limit, children are more likely than adults to block their spirits and close their minds.

heart.

You can give up because you haven't experienced the joy of life, and you can give up because you don't understand the meaning of the future.

to fall into despair.

Like this, how does a young girl gradually close her inner process due to abuse?

Years had to be seen.

While enduring the severe pain of being continuously eroded by parasites in the body, at the same time enduring the devouring soul that is more severe than this

self-blame.

There is no doubt that one of the reasons for Sakura's suffering is her own.

Kariya cursed Matou Zouken, cursed Tohsaka Tokiomi, and inflicted the same curse on himself.

The only thing that can be called comfort is that Sakura, who is closed like a doll, has nothing to do when she sees Kariya.

Don't be so wary, you will say a few innocent words when you meet.

Is it the sympathy for each other, or the friendship formed when she was still called Tohsaka Sakura, whether it is the two

Which one of them, this girl regards him as a different existence from the so-called educators like Zouken and Tsuruno.

"Today, I don't need to go to the worm bank, because it seems that there are more important ceremonies to be held there.

What my lord said. "

"Ah, I know, that's why Uncle will change shifts with you today to go to the insect bank."

Hearing Kariya's answer, Sakura tilted her head as if watching his expression.

"Uncle Kariya, are you going somewhere far away?"

Through the keen intuition unique to children, Sakura seems to have sensed Kariya's fate, but Kariya didn't

He intends to worry the young Sakura too much.

"During this time, uncle will be busy with important matters for the time being, and the opportunity to talk to Sakura like this will not be available in the future.

Not too much. "

"That's it!"

Sakura took her gaze away from Kariya, and changed to that blank gaze again, as if staring at only

The kind of gaze that can only be seen by oneself.

Seeing Sakura like that felt uncomfortable, so Kariya decided to forcefully move on to the next topic.

"I said Sakura, after uncle's work is done, shall we play together again? With your mother and sister

sister together. "

Sakura seemed a little helpless and said after a pause.

"I don't have anyone who can be called that anymore, you just pretend they don't exist anymore, this is Grandpa

what people have said to me. "

"That's it!" replied in a voice that didn't know what to do.

"That's it!"
