gaze of war

The author has something to say: there is one more chapter tonight.

The crazy part of Kirei's fanatic attributes is really revealed here.

Not only fanatical, but also arrogant.

Uncle Kariya is a poor good man, sigh.

"What I believe in is the 'truth of the world', Father."

Apostate.

And... a fanatic.

Just from such fanatical narration, Father Yanfeng has already seen through the truth of his son.

Compared with all the believers in the Holy Church whose only pillar is faith, Kotomine Kirei has become something completely different - what he believes in is not a god, nor is it any powerful being, but "self".

He is loyal to the world, but he does not fully believe in the world.

He found the cruel nature of the world with his own heart, and then indulged himself in it, unwilling to leave.

Such Kotomine Kirei made Father Kotomine feel a strange twist.

Even though he uttered such terrible words, Kotomine Kirei's face had a faint smile that didn't match it at all, looking divine and dazzling, as if an angel's light descended on him.

scary stuff.

Inhuman things.

must be sanctioned.

Father Yanfeng's expression was extremely ugly.

The heart constricted and convulsed, almost out of breath.Fatherly love and unwavering faith in his son are at war.At the same time, the old priest who has dual identities as a father and a teacher is caught in a dilemma.

Kirei Mine's next words immediately pulled him out of this complicated and troubled state.

"If my lord can help the Church of the Holy Church seize the territory of the Association of Magicians," he persuaded his father with a smile, "...then, I think we should be able to cooperate?"

For the Church of the Holy Church, in the supernatural world outside the ordinary world, only the Association of Magicians can compete with it.On the surface that can be perceived by most people, these two behemoths are strictly disciplined and live in peace, and many accidents will even cooperate to solve them-including the huge chaos caused by the last caster.

However, in the dark that no one can detect, the two organizations are sworn enemies of each other.

The organization named "Burial Organization" under the Church of the Holy Church is full of clergymen with abnormal combat power. They target anything that does not belong to human beings and those who steal the inhuman power that only saints can use. Take a clean sweep for heresy.

And there is also a secret department called "clone" in the Magic Association. It is said that each member has absolute power that is rare in this world.

When encountering an evil force that threatens the world, they will cooperate briefly, but as long as the other party shows a gap for a moment, they will bite the other party's throat without hesitation and put the other party to death.Under the surface of peace, there have been countless battles between the Magic Association and the Holy Church in the dark, and each time they ended up covering up with accidents without any trace.

Spiritual veins, influence among ordinary people, and the unilateral religious paranoia of the Holy Church, these are the reasons for the two organizations to fight each other.

The so-called "supervision" operation in the battle for the Holy Grail is also one of the results of the Church of the Holy Church intervening in the affairs of the Magic Association.

But for the former Kotomine Kirei, these were completely out of his consideration—no, maybe even if he considered it, he never disclosed it to his father, maybe it was.

"Remove the obstacles of the Holy Church for me." Kotomine Kirei looked at Father Kotomine, his voice suddenly turned cold, "I will...use my greatest strength to provoke a war between Tohsaka and Matou."

"The feud between the three founders of the Yu family—sounds good, what do you think, father?"

"..."

The old priest fell silent.

He looked at his son, his expression gradually stained with a little bitterness and melancholy.

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pursed his mouth, and straightened his chest.

When he opened his eyes, he had completely abandoned the role of a "father who didn't know his son" and completely entered the position of a member of the organization.

As the person in charge of the "Eighth Secret Society" in Fuyuki, he questioned Kotomine Kirei in a stranger's tone.

"Then, Kotomine Kirei, how do you guarantee that the plan will be successful? Besides, the influence of the church here is absolutely suppressed by Tohsaka, even if Tohsaka Tokiomi is killed... how can you guarantee that the Church of the Holy Church will be able to survive from far away?" Take enough benefits from the hands of the Saka family?"

"That's the business of the church."

Kotomine Kirei said without hesitation.

"To the church, I am an enemy, and the Magic Association is also an enemy. I hereby propose the sincerity of the transaction and create convenient conditions for the church. The rest is the church's own, not mine."

He raised his chin slightly, and said coldly: "If the church chooses to give up such a good opportunity, and would rather choose to eradicate the apostates...then I can only fight."

"However, my lord—the Goddess of War once blessed me." Before the old priest could react, Kotomine Kirei continued.His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was joy in his voice, his pitch lowered, but each character blurted out with a brisk rhythm: "The victory of this war has long been given to me by my lord. Everyone is but a victim who died among the thorns on the road to my victory before the end of my life."

"...Do you want to share the sweet fruit of victory in my hands—" Kotomine Kirei raised his voice, stretched his clenched hand to the old priest's face, and opened his palm upwards to the extreme, as if inviting or inviting As if showing an invisible and gorgeous object in his hands, he stared closely at the eyes of the old priest, showing an evil smile, "...it depends on how you choose, father."

The old priest looked at his palm silently, as if he could see glory and strength, faith and territory leaping out of his palm.As the head of the branch of the Eighth Secret Society, everything his son said was a huge temptation to him.

The Tohsaka family has controlled Fuyuki City for too long.

It's been so long that it's intertwined, and it's been so long that it can't be shaken.Even the Church of the Holy Church can only wear the cloak of a clergyman and occupy a place within the church.This is the only spiritual vein - and the remaining three spiritual veins in Fuyuki City are all under the control of the Magicians Association.

If you can seize the dispute between Tohsaka and Matou and seize another spiritual vein——

"... What kind of cooperation do you need?"

After a long time, the old priest finally spoke.

In the darkness of nothingness, like being at the bottom of the deep sea, even breathing cannot be carried out smoothly.

The chest was under the heavy pressure of suffocation, and the limbs and head were bound by invisible things, unable to move.

From all directions, from far away, came the painful curse——

The hand covered with cold armor ruthlessly strangled Matou Kariya's throat, and the undead who was called back from the darkness howled loudly in pain.

dissatisfaction with one's own destiny.

Hatred of the Shining Ones.

The desire for the flesh and blood of Matou Kariya——

Biting off his throat like a monster, turning his miserable howl into a vague whine mixed with the sound of splashing liquid——

Turn your life and flesh into my hatred——

The heroic knight spirit in black armor roared, biting the flesh and blood of Kariya Matou piece by piece, biting and devouring bit by bit.

Kariya Matou's pupils dilated into an inorganic gray.

"Ugh-!"

Matou Kariya broke free from the oppressive nightmare, opened his eyes twitching and trembling.His throat was parched, his eyes ached, and the rustling noises in his ears nearly drove him mad.

too familiar...

The stench.

These numbing screams.

This desperate pain—

Kariya Matou was being handcuffed to the wall.

The position of the manacles was high, allowing his entire body weight to rest on the tightly bound wrists.

The skin on the wrist was worn and festered, and the blood mixed with pus dried up on the wound.

And the itching mixed with the tingling pain on the body——

A worm crawled up his neck along his chest, then climbed up his side face along the curvature of his neck, and got into his ear.The brain almost exploded, and the severe pain made Matou Kariya tremble, so painful that he couldn't scream.

……

Matou Kariya's forehead was already drenched with sweat after the severe pain that almost made him want to die began to subside.

Hundreds of magic engraved worms are crawling on his body.

They were licking his burned skin.

Wherever they went, the burnt skin and dead skin fell off, and new pink skin slowly grew from the horrible blackness, and when the bugs crawled over these new skins, the unprotected delicate skin uploaded Come bursts of pain.

This is... the underground worm warehouse of the Matou family.

Matou Kariya looked at the swarm of obese insects swarming downward with deadly eyes, and then closed his eyes without moving.

The imprinted swarms could only heal his wounds from the flames, but they had no effect on the internal wounds caused by excessive mana consumption.

He's going to die soon... this man named Kariya Matou.

He was not outstanding from birth, neither smarter nor more capable than others.

Although his surname is Matou, he is the second son.

Although possessing magical qualities, he deeply hates the insect art in his family.

The girl you like marries someone else.

Her daughter is suffering in her own home.

... Such a useless man is about to lose his life here.

Even though he had worked hard for what he wanted to do, but... nothing came of it in the end.

Such a failed man, even if he died in a place that no one knew, no one would care, right?

But after all, I am still not reconciled...

Hate that man.

Nostalgic for that woman.

Care for that child.

Hate that monster.

I want... to be happy... I want to be with her and her daughter... to have ordinary happiness...

Matou Kariya let out a moan-like whimper.

The voice was low and miserable, and it was moving.

But in this place, the only ones who heard his whimpering were those wriggling worms.

No matter what, I can't let go...

In any case, there is no way to die willingly like this...

Want to... see her smile...

At least... I want her to be happy...

It doesn't matter if he falls into hell, it doesn't matter even if he dies like this...

I just... want you and your daughter... to be happy...
