Chapter 200 Love really is a tomb

Feeling the burning pain on her face, Medea was both shocked and angry. She couldn't help but raise her head and glare at Bai Zemin and Zhao Yun in front of her with her clear blue eyes.

At the same time, white magical light shone from her body, continuously repairing the hideous blood hole in her chest and abdomen.

Seeing this, Bai Zeming was somewhat surprised; this guy's vitality was more tenacious than he had imagined.

Of course, it's also possible that she plundered enough lives, accumulating enough magic to provide her with a greater margin for error.

If that's the case, Bai Zeming can't let her go even more!
Just as he decided to let Zhao Yun deal with Medea, a calm voice came from Ryudong Temple below.

"Can anyone explain what's going on?"

"..."

Bai Zemin was slightly taken aback and suddenly turned his head to look.

A middle-aged man in gray pajamas was standing barefoot on the ground, with an unconscious monk lying at his feet. They looked up at each other from a distance of over a hundred meters.

Seeing the middle-aged man's calm face, Bai Zemin's expression became somewhat complicated.

Souichirou Kuzuki, a teacher at Homurahara School, is Caster's second Master.

In the original work, he is a powerful being jokingly referred to by the audience as the eighth class 'teacher'.

Before becoming a teacher, Souichirou Kuzuki was a member of a mysterious assassination organization. For decades, he continuously trained his physical fitness and killing skills, thus possessing formidable combat power. After his body was enhanced by Castrer's magic, he was even able to face off against Heroic Spirits.

If Bai Zemin remembers correctly, Kuzuki Souichirou even had the record of easily defeating Saber, and was the first Master to achieve the feat of tearing apart a Servant in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

"It's Mr. Kuzuki..."

Bai Zemin turned around, looked at Kuzuki Souichirou and chuckled, "What enviable sleep quality! The battle outside is already in such a state, yet Kuzuki-sensei can still sleep."

"This is something that confuses me quite a bit."

Kuzuki Souichirou remained calm, turning to look at Medea on the other side and asking, "Can you explain this?"

Medea had used magic to create a new hood the moment Kuzuki appeared, covering her injured face.

Hearing Ge Mu's words, she seemed a little flustered and quickly said, "I just didn't want to bother you..."

Kuzuki glanced at the collapsed ruins of Ryudoji Temple around him and said calmly, "Even if the battle has become this intense?"

Medea fell silent, seemingly finding it difficult to answer Kuzuki's question.

Bai Zemin glanced at Medea, then at Ge Mu below, and said knowingly, "I see. This operation was carried out behind the back of Teacher Ge Mu, wasn't it?"

Medea abruptly raised her head, glaring at Bai Zemin and saying, "You—"

"What do you mean, 'you'!" Bai Zemin retorted without any politeness. "I haven't finished yet. Not only this operation, but also the fact that you killed innocent civilians to plunder magic power, you probably don't know about that, do you, Teacher Ge Mu?"

"No such thing!"

Medea responded angrily, then looked at Kuzuki with some panic and said, "Souichiro..."

Ge Mu looked at her calmly and asked, "Is this true?"

Medea fell silent, and after a moment, she bit her lower lip and nodded with difficulty.

"I see."

Kuzuki Souichirou slowly nodded, then turned to look at Bai Zemin and said, "You're Bai from the next class, right? Since Medea has done such a thing, it means that things are beyond repair, right?"

Bai Zemin sighed and said, "I'm sorry, yes."

Kuzuki Souichirou's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Then..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly moved, his right hand flashing out to grab the unconscious monk at his feet.

But just before he could touch the monk, a purple figure flashed past, grabbed the monk, and carried him dozens of meters away, stopping between two collapsed buildings.

Without a doubt, this purple figure is Rider, who has not appeared yet!
Upon seeing Medusa appear, Bai Zemin's lips curled up, and a smile appeared on his face.

"They've finally arrived... Where are the other monks?"

"Except for this one, all others have been moved outside the temple."

"Liu Dong Yicheng too?"

Medusa nodded and placed the monk she was carrying on her shoulder at her feet.

Seeing this, Medea finally understood why Bai Zemin had been holding on alone; he was trying to buy time so that Medusa could transfer all the hostages out.

"Teacher Ge Mu..."

Bai Zemin turned his head and glanced at Kuzuki Souichirou below, saying, "I don't understand. You rescued this monk from the collapsing house, right? Why did you suddenly attack him?"

After a moment of silence, Kuzuki Souichirou said softly, "Because things are beyond repair."

Bai Zemin said with a complicated expression, "So, you still chose Medea?"

Kuzuki Souichirou said calmly, "Since I accepted her request, I have no reason to give up halfway. In the end, this matter started because of me, and it should end with me."

"No matter what evil deeds Medea has committed, as her Master, I am her accomplice."

Medea's eyes shone with a strange light, and she couldn't help but softly say, "Soichiro..."

Before he could finish speaking, the stone bricks beneath Ge Mu's feet suddenly shattered, transforming into an arrow that shot towards Medusa in front of him.

Medusa was startled and hurriedly carried the monk backward.

However, Ge Mu's speed clearly exceeded human limits. His right arm, which was hanging by his side, suddenly shot out as if it were spring-loaded, creating dozens of afterimages that were difficult to see with the naked eye, and blasted towards Medusa's vital points.

In the original UBW route, he personally killed Medusa once. But now, Medusa's Master is no longer Shinji Matou; both her abilities and fighting spirit far surpass those of the Medusa who was activating the Blood Temple at the school back then.

"Shhhhh-"

In a split second, Medusa narrowly avoided all the flying punches.

Medusa shattered the ground with her toes, leaped high into the air, grabbed the monk's robe with her left hand, and swung out a chain-linked short sword with her right hand, shooting towards Ge Mu like a venomous snake emerging from a pool.

"Pfft-"

The serpentine chain swept across his shoulder, leaving a blood-splattered wound.

But Souichirou Kuzuki remained expressionless, ignoring the wound on his shoulder, and continued his pursuit of Medusa.

"Soichiro!"

Upon seeing this, Medea couldn't help but shout out loud. Her cloak instantly transformed into bat-like wings, and she rushed anxiously towards Souichirou Kuzuki.

Bai Zemin sighed softly and exchanged a glance with Zhao Yun beside him.

Zhao Yun understood immediately and urged his white horse to block Medea in mid-air.

And so, Bai Zemin led Zhao Yun into aerial combat against Medea.

Meanwhile, Soichiro Kuzuki and Medusa chased each other back and forth among the ruins of Ryudouji Temple.

This time, however, the battlefield was far wider than the classroom, allowing Medusa to fully utilize Rider's high mobility, constantly throwing out chain daggers during the leaping chase, leaving one wound after another.

To be honest, Bai Zeming felt sympathy for Medea and Kuzuki Souichirou, this ill-fated couple.

Unfortunately, Medea had committed numerous atrocities, taking the lives of hundreds of people, and Kuzuki, as a former assassin, also had the blood of many innocent people on his hands.

Bai Zeming felt no remorse whatsoever for killing the Master and Servant pair.

Just as a fierce battle was unfolding inside Ryudong Temple, deafening roars suddenly came from outside the temple gate.

Bai Zemin was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but stop and turn his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Golden ripples appeared in the distant sky, and countless powerful magical artifacts shot out from the ripples, bombarding the distant mountains and forests like cannonballs.

"The King's Treasury?!"

Bai Zemin's eyes widened in astonishment. "Golden Flash got involved?"

"At this time?!"

Oh no, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya were no match for Hercules to begin with.

Furthermore, Gilgamesh's unexpected appearance and intervention in the battle may make the situation outside the mountain gate even more severe than he imagined!
"We can't delay it any longer!"

Bai Zemin shouted, "Uncle Yun, I know you don't want to kill a woman, but the situation is critical and we can't afford to delay any longer. We must get rid of her as soon as possible!"

"..."

Zhao Yun was taken aback upon hearing this, then sighed softly, withdrew his spear and halted his horse, thus creating an opening for Medea.

Medea took the bait and swooped down, her eyes fixed on her battered husband below. For a moment, only one option remained in her mind: to go back to help Kuzuki.

"Pfft-"

The gleaming silver spearhead pierced through his back, emerging from his chest amidst a burst of blood.

Intense pain surged through her like a tidal wave. Medea's pupils constricted, and she couldn't help but turn her head slightly, staring incredulously at the white-horse general who had suddenly appeared behind her.

—A surprise attack!

Zhao Yun looked at Medea with a sigh, then forcefully pulled out his gleaming silver spear.

Medea plummeted like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the ruins below.

Bai Zemin flew over and hurriedly asked, "She won't survive this time, will she?"

“No more.” Zhao Yun turned his spear around, his crimson hair gradually turning black, and said calmly, “Because this time, I have completely destroyed her heart…”

Once back on the ground, Kuzuki Souichirou had already arrived at the spot where Medea had crashed.

At this moment, his condition was not much better than Medea's. His entire body was covered in hideous bloodstains, from which blood continued to gush out, making his consciousness somewhat hazy.

Even so, he still held the heavily injured Medea in his arms, gazing at her elfin face and her longing pale blue eyes, and calmly said:
"There's no need to be sad. People like you and me, no matter when we die, are never innocent..."

"..."

Medea paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something and revealed a gentle smile.

Just as she struggled to raise her hand and used her last bit of strength to touch Ge Mu's cheek, she found that he had already lowered his head and his eyes had lost their former color.

Souichirou Kuzuki was, after all, a flesh-and-blood being, lacking the powerful vitality of a Heroic Spirit.

With his blood nearly drained, he naturally couldn't hold on as long as Medea.

Looking into those dimmed eyes, Medea paused for a moment, then revealed a deep sorrow.

But this grief did not last long. She quickly struggled to sit up, embraced the dead Kuzuki Souichirou, and gently lowered her head to press it against his neck.

The next second, Medea's body disintegrated inch by inch from the edge, turning into shimmering specks of light and completely disappearing into the air.

……It's that simple?
Bai Zemin stared silently at the ruins ahead.

He understood why Kuzuki Souichirou was so determined to fight Medusa, but seeing Medea die so easily because of her love-struck mind, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Love truly is a grave!"
