Marvel's Magic Master

The big villa of the Matou family.

Matou Sakura brought the Knight Medusa to her grandfather Matou Zouken's room and said in a panic:
"Brother, he's dead!"

"died?"

Matou Zouken was leaning on a cane, with a look of surprise on his face.

Then, Sakura Matou told Zouken Matou all the information that Medusa had sent.

After gaining temporary control of Medusa, Shinji Matou mixed up with the supervisor Kotomine Kirei and set up a soul-devouring barrier in the school.

He was supposed to go with Gilgamesh tonight to support Kotomine Kirei, but he was shot in the head by George at the very beginning.

After Shinji Matou died, Medusa naturally returned to her real master Sakura Matou.

As for what happened afterwards and who won or lost, Medusa had no idea.

"What a loser, just like his father."

There was no sadness or sorrow on Matou Zouken's face regarding the death of the only bloodline of the Matou family, as if only a bug had died.

What he was thinking about at this moment was what the chances of winning the fifth Holy Grail War were.

The participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War were too powerful, so after his second son, Matou Kariya, failed, he chose to give up.

But this time, he used the fragments of the Lesser Holy Grail that King Arthur broke in the Fourth Holy Grail War as a catalyst to create the seal, and stored it in Sakura's body, transforming Sakura into an incomplete Lesser Holy Grail.

If Sakura can win in the end, he can guide Angra Mainyu in the Holy Grail into Sakura's body.

At that time, the imprint worm he left in Sakura's body will be able to take over Sakura's body, thereby indirectly achieving immortality.

Although Shinji Matou is dead now, he thinks this is actually a good thing.

At least everyone will think that the Matou family is out of the game, and thus relax their vigilance, allowing him to reap the benefits.

Just like what's happening in the church right now, their brains must have been beaten out.

He knew very well how strong Gilgamesh was, and with Kotomine Kirei and the spearmen, they could definitely fight against the swordsmen, berserkers, and archers.

It would be best if both sides died together, so that he could complete the plan by just helping Sakura deal with the two from Ryudo Temple.

"In that case, you will continue to represent the family in the Holy Grail War!"

"But Grandpa, I don't want to participate."

Sakura had a pleading look on her face.

Once she participates in the Holy Grail War, her peaceful life will end, and she may even stand against Shirou Emiya and her sister Rin Toosaka.

However, when hearing Sakura's plea, a cold look appeared on Matou Zouken's face.

"You have no right to refuse, otherwise I will kill Shirou Emiya first, and then make you live a life worse than death!"

The crested worm buried inside Sakura's body was activated, and Sakura's body was immediately corroded, and she collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

“Don’t worry, as long as you win the Holy Grail War, I will remove the seal worm from your body and let you live like a normal person.

Shirou Emiya will not know what you have been through over the years, you can marry him, have children, and live a happy life."

The stick and carrot tactic always works.

After hearing the promise made by Matou Zouken, Sakura Matou's eyes began to waver.

As long as she can live happily with Shirou Emiya for the rest of her life, she is willing to do anything.

Just as she was about to agree, a voice suddenly sounded in the room:
"Little girl, I have a better choice.

As long as you are willing to hand over the Command Seal to me, I can not only remove the Marking Worm from your body, but also help you remove the fake Holy Grail that this old man placed in your body.

If necessary, it is not a problem for me to help you kill him."

The person who came was George, who had captured the magician and assassin in Liudong Temple.

"Who dares to trespass into my Matou family?"

When Matou Zangyan saw a young man suddenly appear behind Matou Sakura, his face suddenly changed. He waved his hand and a group of seal bugs attacked George.

George opened his mouth and spurted out a ball of three-colored flame, burning all the flying imprinted insects into ashes.

"I am the Master of the swordsman you were discussing, and the one who killed your grandson."

"So, Kotomine Kirei lost?"

Matou Zouken narrowed his eyes.

Deep down, he felt that Kotomine Kirei had a greater chance of winning the church match.

Although the Heroic Spirits were two against three, and the Master was one against three, Kotomine Kirei was the one who fought to the end and almost won the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Moreover, he is insidious and cunning, and even he is very afraid of him.

As for Gilgamesh, his strength is abnormally strong and he is an outlier among the heroic spirits.

But unexpectedly, the winner in the end was this stranger in front of him who had no information at all.

"Yes, you guessed it right, but there is no reward."

George didn't waste any time talking to Matou Zouken, but walked straight forward and forcibly searched his soul.

He always felt that the head of the Matou family, whose body was made up of insects, must be hiding some secret.

Otherwise, a fake Holy Grail would not have been buried in Sakura Matou's body.

"Sakura, kill him!"

When Zouken Matou saw George attacking him, he immediately gave orders to Sakura Matou, but he found that Sakura and the cavalry Medusa seemed to be under a spell and could not move.

"You trespassed into the Matou family and attacked me maliciously. Aren't you afraid of sanctions from the church and the Magician's Association?"

When he found that Matou Sakura and the cavalry were subdued in an instant, his face changed drastically.

While completely transforming his body into an insect to avoid the attack, he threatened George.

Without using any servants, relying solely on his own magic, he easily subdued Sakura, who had powerful magic, and Medusa, whose strength had been fully restored with the help of Sakura's magic.

Even in his prime, it would have been difficult for him to do so.

Obviously, this young stranger was even more powerful than he was in his prime.

It's definitely not something he can handle now.

So he could only bring up the church and the Magic Association to scare the other party.

The Holy Grail War has its own rules. As the master of the swordsmen, he can attack Sakura and Medusa, who are also competitors, but he cannot attack him, the head of the Matou family, without reason.

Once discovered, they will face collective hunting by the church and the magic association.

"Order it for me!"

Seeing Zouken Matou who had transformed into a worm and was trying to escape, George raised his hand and cast a freezing spell, freezing him directly in the air.

He doesn't take the church and the Magic Association seriously at all.

Besides, as long as Zouken Matou is killed, no one will file a complaint, and the people from the Church and the Magician's Association will not have the time to investigate.

What Kotomine Kirei did was much more serious than what he did, yet he just got away with it.

"Let me see what's wrong with you."

George fixed Zouken Matou on the spot and read the memories in his mind.

After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said in surprise:

"I never thought that you were the first head of the Matou family and one of the main creators of the Holy Grail War."
