Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

After all, even though he was almost certain to win, Lion Jiejieli did not let down his inner vigilance and still used his magic to monitor the surroundings.

At this time, outside the Cathedral Church, an eyeball was suspended.

That was the pseudo-familiar used by Lion Jiejieli for monitoring or to detect intelligence.

"How could there be so many insects."

Lion Jiejieli loaded the shotgun in his hand, lit a cigarette and put it to his mouth, and looked around in a vigilant manner.

With such a large number of insects, any direction would be attacked by insects.

The eyeball he used to detect intelligence had been destroyed by the insects flying in the sky.

"There are servants approaching quickly!!!!!!!!!!"

Jeanne quickly sensed that in front of the Cathedral Church, two servants were approaching at a very fast speed.

The speed was so fast that it could be compared with a meteor.

And there is only one servant who can have such speed in this Holy Grail War——————

"Bang——!"

"The raging undead chariot!!!!!!"

The next second, the closed door of the Cathedral Church was smashed open, and countless swarms of insects swarmed in along the destroyed door.

As the Cathedral Church magic workshop made by Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, Shakespeare and Semiramis, the defense is impossible for ordinary magicians to break through.

Those swarms of insects can only rush in with Achilles, and cannot cause any damage to the Cathedral Church.

You must know that the wall of the Cathedral Church can even support the Semiramis light cannon, how could it not withstand the attack of these swarms of insects?

But at this time, Achilles' face did not have any excitement to participate in the war, but only endless anger.

Achilles waved the spear in his hand, charging at Jeanne, and roaring.

"Ruler!!!! Use the Command Spell!!!!"

As a Heroic Spirit, Achilles, who has his own beliefs and principles, will never obey the orders of Matou Zouken.

Rather, if it weren't for the release of the Noble Phantasm during the battle with Chiron, Achilles would have chosen to sense his new Master and kill him at the first time, and would not have chosen to continue fighting with Chiron.

In the original plot, Achilles was upset that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had been hiding his Master, and after Amakusa Shiro Tokisada transferred his contract, he even bluntly intended to kill Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

The battle with Chiron was also somewhat restrained, and Achilles was extremely worried about the safety of the Master he had never seen.

If Achilles didn't need to fight a fateful battle with Chiron, and if Karna and Semiramis didn't stop him, I'm afraid Achilles would have directly attacked Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Of course, one of the reasons was that Karna saved the lives of those Masters.

Now, the battle between Achilles and Chiron is over. He has no reason to look at a good face for a magician who took away his Master's contract and Master's Command Seals.

After sensing the location of his new Master, Achilles rushed over without stopping, with the purpose of killing the person who took away his Master's contract.

But, things did not go as he wished.

Now Matou Zouken has 18 Command Seals that the six servants of the black side Assasin, the red side Lancer, Rider, Archer, Berserker, and the Cursed Arm should have.

Although in reality Matou Zouken does not have a complete set of 18 Command Seals, but excluding the one Command Seal used by Atalanta to fight against Shirou Emiya, the one Command Seal used to rescue Jack the Ripper, and the two Command Seals used to release the Noble Phantasm by Karna and Achilles, Matou Zouken now has a full 14 Command Seals.

Achilles, whose magic power is only C, cannot resist the command of such a number of Command Seals.

When the Holy Grail War was being built, the Tohsaka clan provided the leylines; the Einzbern clan made the Holy Grail; and the Matou clan developed a system of Command Spells that could force the Heroic Spirits to command.

Machiri is a master of magic who is good at creating familiars. Planning the system of familiars in the Holy Grail War, namely the Servants, and inventing the technique of "binding them with Command Spells" are the achievements of Machiri and Matou Zouken.

Because of this, it is not an exaggeration to say that Matou Zouken is the person who is most familiar with Command Spells in the world.

So he can let his servants go to deprive other masters of their Command Spells and their contracts, and he can also make all the Command Spells have the same effect in his hands.

The Command Spells in Matou Zouken's hand are not like the Command Spells in Jeanne's hand. The 14 Command Spells on him can all act on one Servant, which can be said to be very terrifying.

Achilles was restrained before he could reach Zouken Matou, because Zouken Matou knew that if he let Achilles come in front of him, he would not have any chance to use the Command Seal.

Although he could create a new body at any time, with Achilles' speed, it was possible that he would never be able to use the Command Seal.

The Crest Worm hidden in Sakura's heart was not here at this time.

Moreover, he was originally going to use the Command Seal to clamp Achilles, so Zouken Matou did not intend to use his Command Seal sparingly.

What's more, as the creator of the Command Seal, Matou Zouken can make his Command Seal play an effect greater than 1.

To use the Command Seal to bind Achilles for a day, Matou Zouken only needs to use two Command Seals to do it.

And now, Achilles has become a puppet driven by the Command Seal, and he has no way to resist such a compulsory Command Seal effect.

He can only go against his own heart and attack Jeanne d'Arc. If it weren't for the fact that Achilles' Noble Phantasm [Spear of the Sky-Running Star] has many restrictions such as [cannot be used on women] and [if the opponent has no intention, he will not force the opponent into a duel].

I'm afraid Matou Zouken will force him to release the Noble Phantasm to trap Jeanne d'Arc.

After all, now in front of the Holy Grail, only Jeanne d'Arc has the strength to fight against the Heroic Spirit.

And Jeanne d'Arc can ignore the breath of the Curse Wrist and find its trace.

If Jeanne d'Arc is solved first, then Matou Zouken will easily kill everyone present.

Although Astolfo is now out of danger of being eliminated, he fell to the ground powerlessly, losing the ability to resist.

Now is the best time for Matou Zouken to win the Holy Grail.

If he can obtain immortality, even if he lives in another world, what's the harm!

Matou Zouken believes that the Holy Grail in this world can make him immortal.

As for Matou Zouken's body still in the original world.

Matou Zouken cannot make multiple bodies have their own consciousness at the same time, that is, the one that can move alone now is where Matou Zouken's main consciousness is, and the others will only be in an unconscious state.

So after following Emiya Shirou into the world of the door, Matou Zouken's body in the original world is in a disconnected state, with only the most basic instinct as a bug and the last order issued by Matou Zouken.

It can be said that if Matou Zouken realizes his wish here, it will be no different from realizing his wish in the original world.

After all, except for immortality, Matou Zouken has no other pursuits now.

Chapter 214: Absolute Crisis

"In the name of the Command Seal, break free, Rider!"

If Achilles had not asked Jeanne to use the Command Seal so angrily, Jeanne would not have intended to use it.

After all, Achilles' appearance and attack did not violate the rules of the Holy Grail War, and another hidden Master could have seized the Holy Grail in this way.

Jeanne would not refute, but the appearance of these insect swarms and Achilles' angry expression reminded Jeanne of some very bad memories.

Before being summoned to the Cathedral Church by Shirou Emiya using the Command Seal, she went alone to solve the hidden danger in Tulifas - Jack the Ripper.

When facing Jack the Ripper, her Master was a woman with a very slim figure and emerald green hair.

Jeanne also persuaded the Master, but she could not listen to anything Jeanne said. In her eyes, there was only her Servant - Jack the Ripper.

As Joan of Arc continued to fight with Jack the Ripper, the woman knelt on the ground in great pain, and even had blue veins on her face that kept throbbing.

As if something was sucking her blood, the blue veins became thicker and throbbing more frequently as Joan of Arc fought with Jack the Ripper more and more fiercely.

After Joan of Arc killed Jack the Ripper, the woman's life seemed to have come to an end, and she fell to the ground without any movement.

Joan of Arc approached with the idea of ​​treating her, but the moment she walked in front of her.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion occurred from the woman's body, and blood and internal organs burst out from the woman's body like a goddess.

And with it burst out countless insects, which made people feel panic and nausea.

As a heroic spirit, Joan of Arc reacted so quickly that she retreated the moment the woman exploded.

The blood scattered on the ground even made a tearing and erosion sound.

That Master was a trap in itself.

After coming to her senses, Jeanne immediately used the Command Seals to tell Shirou Emiya that she had resolved the situation.

So Jeanne was summoned to the Cathedral Church while Shirou Emiya was holding the Command Seals.

When she saw those similar forms, Jeanne immediately thought of what happened to her when she faced Jack the Ripper.

So after hearing Achilles' request, Jeanne did not hesitate to issue two Command Seals that could counter Zouken Matou.

However, with his huge number of Command Seals, Jeanne's two Command Seals were completely useless.

Almost at the moment when Achilles took control of his body, Zouken Matou immediately used his two Command Seals to offset it.

You should know that in addition to Achilles, there is also the Heroic Spirit he summoned - the Curse Arm - on the chariot.

"Clang!"

The spear and the white flag intertwined together, making a violent spark sound, and the powerful force made Jeanne retreat again and again.

The intense tingling sensation made Joan of Arc feel uneasy.

Although Achilles' physical strength is only at the B+ level, Matou Zouken seemed to be able to completely suppress Joan of Arc, and even used one Command Seal on top of offsetting two Command Seals. The curse strengthened Achilles.

Achilles, on the other hand, was unable to even release water under the compulsory effect of the command spell.

If the order of the Command Spell is contrary to the servant's own thoughts, it will not be able to exert its maximum effect, but it cannot resist Matou Zangyan's use of a large number of Command Spells to suppress it.

Even though Achilles resisted extremely, he still dealt with Joan of Arc with all his strength.

At this time, a swarm of insects spread like a tide in the direction of Lion Jie Jieli.

"Bang——! Bang——! Bang——!"

"Zi——! Zhi——! Zhi——!"

Under such a large number of insect swarms, the magic unleashed by the masters of Shijie Jieli and Astolfo was almost useless and had little impact at all.

"Jun-Eagle!"

"Chirp————!"

The Hippogriff next to Astolfo weakly responded to him and stood up with difficulty.

It was impossible for them to let Astolfo fall to the ground. They put him aside and let Astolfo recover slowly.

But no one expected that such a situation would happen.

In fact, Matou Zangyan did not plan to attack the red side on the next day.

After all, he didn't know that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada had obtained the information about the Great Holy Grail.

Matō Zouken never knew that the Great Holy Grail was underground in the castle of the Yggdomirenia clan.

The lack of information is also one of the reasons why Matou Zouken has been hiding in the dark.

After all, the heroic spirits he possesses are Assassin, who is responsible for assassinations. There is no way he can fight those heroic spirits head-on.

Even after acquiring Jack the Ripper, Matou Zouken did not intend to engage in a head-on battle with the red side or the black side.

Not only did Assassin's aura have no effect in hiding in front of Jeanne, Matou Zouken could not even continue to hide in Tulifas.

Whether it was Joan of Arc's revelation or the search for traces of followers within ten kilometers, Matou Zangyan was unable to do anything.

After all, Assassin has no way of confronting Jeanne d'Arc. Her EX-level magic resistance alone makes it difficult for Curse Arm to kill Jeanne d'Arc with her own precious phantom.

So Matou Zouken is waiting and watching, also collecting information, and knowing some of Ruler's functions is the information that Matou Zouken discovered.

In addition to exploring intelligence, Matou Zouken is also hoarding strength. He doesn't know if he can revive in another world after his death.

So what Matou Zōyan did the most was to create more clones, so that he could quickly resurrect in this world even after being killed.

In order to understand Black's movements, Matou Zouken specifically asked Jack the Ripper to stay in Tulifas and returned the contract to the woman.

It's just that the Command Seal is still on him, and Jack the Ripper has no way to kill him anyway. After possessing Achilles, Jack the Ripper can be regarded as an abandoned son.

Matou Zangyan, who received the news from his familiar that Jeanne had suddenly disappeared, also felt bad.

He knew very well that such a sudden disappearance could only be caused by the use of a command spell, so he immediately judged that the black side was heading towards the red side after a day of repairs.

Let’s talk about why Matou Zouken didn’t just stay in Sighisoara.

Matou Zoukashi didn't want to bet on whether he would be discovered while staying in Sighisoara. You must know that Matō Zoukstone was the most wanted criminal on the red side.
