Behind Matou Kariya, a crested insect flapped its wings and quickly drilled into the boy's body.
"Hesitation will be a major reason for your defeat in the Holy Grail War in the future... Remember this lesson, Kariya." Matou Zouken said in a cold tone.
The old man's sinister tone kept lingering in the man's ears. Matou Kariya subconsciously covered his forehead, his face covered in cold sweat.
He gasped for breath, and after struggling for a long time, he finally let out a low growl and waved his hand.
Countless engraved insects behind him flew towards the young man at the door!
The dense swarms of engraved insects were extremely terrifying and disgusting. They flew towards the young man at the door like a tide.
A satisfied smile was about to appear on Matou Zouken's face, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that the insects that had just swept towards the boy suddenly disappeared in the next moment.
Matou Kariya subconsciously opened his eyes wide, as if filled with disbelief, and muttered, "What's going on..."
Matou Zouken's face darkened: "Kariye, are you deliberately teasing me?"
"I didn't!" Matou Kariya said subconsciously, "Those bugs have clearly already drilled into his body..."
Matou Zouken snorted coldly, "I can confirm now whether the crested worms are gnawing at his body."
The first Marking Worm he had just released was still in the boy's body. The Marking Worm could dissect and devour the blood, bones, and even the magic power flowing in his body in an instant.
Wanting to play these tricks in front of him and deliberately letting this boy go... I can only say that this kid underestimated him a little bit.
Matou Zouken raised his cane and tapped the floor lightly.
In an instant, a carving insect flew out and began to analyze the boy's body structure.
Matou Kariya's face was tense, and he desperately tried to signal the boy at the door with his eyes to run away.
hum!
At this moment, the engraving insect that was scanning the boy's body seemed to be burned to ashes by some high temperature.
Immediately afterwards, a scream from the old man was heard behind him.
Matou Kariya subconsciously turned his head and saw Matou Zouken holding his forehead in pain. The crested worms in his body seemed to sense some threat and were flying out of his body frantically and fleeing everywhere.
what happened……?
There was a hint of confusion in Matou Kariya's gray eyes, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
You know, Zouken Matou's body can be said to be a combination of "sealed insects". He is the behind-the-scenes patriarch of the Matou family. When it comes to playing with insects, it is impossible to find anyone in the whole of Fuyuki who can match him.
But now... these engraved insects are actually madly escaping from Zouken Matou's body.
What on earth is going on…?
Just as Matou Kariya was still lost in thought, a dry hand tightly grasped his shoulder. Matou Zouken tried his best to suppress his inner emotions, but there was still a slight tremor in his tone.
"Hurry, run away... No, give me your magic power!"
The old man could feel that when the marking worm drilled into the boy's body, the other party was actually using the marking worm as a medium to devour his magic power!
If you don't run away... you will definitely die!
Matou Zouken, whose mentality had not fluctuated much for nearly five hundred years, now felt a strong fear and desire to survive in his heart.
Matou Zouken knocked the ground with his cane, and something seemed to move inside Matou Kariya's skin.
Matou Kariya hunched his back like a shrimp, covering his abdomen in pain. Countless crested worms overflowed from his body and quickly drilled into Matou Zouken's body.
At this moment, a dazzling golden light lit up at the dim staircase in front.
"Holy Sword of the Stars——!!!"
"Saber, it's you... It's you!! You've been summoned in advance by the Master of this Holy Grail War!"
Matou Zouken absorbed the magical power in Matou Kariya's body. His gray eyes slowly widened, and his old voice was filled with disbelief: "What exactly do you want to do... Why did you take Sakura away?!"
"I just happened to meet a little girl who ran away from home on the street. It was freezing and snowy, and I was afraid she would catch a cold, so I took her home first."
Alvin smiled and a golden holy sword condensed in his hand.
"Actually, I had no intention of looking for you so early, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative."
Matou Zouken looked at the young man in front of him with an uncertain expression. He subconsciously took a half step back and let go of the unconscious Matou Kariya.
Then, his body suddenly disintegrated, and countless flying insects flew out of his body and went in all directions.
As the first head of the Matou family, Matou Zouken is a great magician who has lived for five hundred years. He abandoned his own physical body and manipulated magical insects to form a temporary physical body in an attempt to achieve immortality in this way.
Maybe his strength is not particularly strong, but he has many ways to save his life.
The next moment, Alvin drew his sword.
Whoosh!
The golden sword light lit up under the night sky.
The fiery and magnificent magic power swallowed up all the engraved insects in an instant, but there were still two or three engraved insects that flew out of the building in a panic.
Alvin was about to give chase, but as if driven by the desire to survive, the imprinted insects flapped their wings desperately and flew quickly into the vast sky.
Matou Kariya frowned slightly, finally waking up from his weak state, and slowly opened his eyes.
He spoke in a low voice, "Matou Zouken... He won't let Sakura go."
"He should first ensure that he survives until the end of the Holy Grail War."
Alvin looked out at the deep night where heavy snow was falling, and said quietly, "Besides, Sakura will never go back to the Matou family again."
Matou Kariya was stunned for a moment, then quickly fell silent.
For Sakura, the Matou family is indeed not a good choice.
Without paying any attention to Matou Kariya, Alvin retracted the holy sword and turned around to return to his room.
Matou Kariya was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the young man and said, "You're not going to kill me?"
"You're just an ordinary person who was forced by Matou Zouken to participate in the Holy Grail War. Not to mention that you haven't even summoned a Servant yet... It's not worth my effort."
Alvin turned and closed the door.
Matou Kariya was stunned for a moment, then looked at the closed door with a complicated look.
……
The battle outside the door lasted less than half a minute from start to finish, and when Alvin returned to the living room, he saw a little girl sitting stiffly on the sofa with a cup of hot tea in her hand.
"What took you so long? Did you run into any trouble?"
Sajo Aika sat on the sofa and looked up at the boy in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just chatted with two guests at the door for a while." Alvin shook his head and smiled.
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Matou Sakura who was sitting beside him and said, "Sakura, are you not used to living here?"
Sakura Matou shook her head slightly, but after thinking about the Matou family, she looked at the boy with some concern.
Alvin reached out and gently touched Matou Sakura's soft hair, saying, "Don't worry, I've already negotiated with your grandfather. After the Holy Grail War is over, I will send you back to the Tohsaka family."
Sakura Matou believed it, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes.
After sitting in the living room for a while, Shatiao Aige suddenly secretly pulled Alvin's hand, motioning him to come out.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant. Sajo Aika looked up at him and said, "Did the enemy escape?"
Alvin nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, he will come back soon on his own...if he still wants the Holy Grail."
From the very beginning, he was not worried that the old bug would hide forever after escaping this time. As long as he still wanted the future of the Matou family and the Holy Grail... Matou Zouken would definitely find a way to defeat him.
But even if Alvin was in his servant state, there was absolutely no way a magician could handle it.
From Zouken Matou's perspective, there is only one way to win.
——Directly eliminate Alvin’s master.
But even the old bug probably didn't expect... this master is also a heavyweight.
As if he had thought of some interesting scene, a faint smile quickly appeared on Alvin's face.
"Saber, do you think the enemy will want to get rid of me first?" At this time, Sajo Aika suddenly said with some concern.
Alvin nodded slightly and smiled, "He's already injured, so he won't pose much of a threat to you..."
Sajo Aika's beautiful eyes were still filled with worry: "But just in case, you should stay with me for the time being... I, I'm a little scared."
"Of course, I am your servant, so it's only natural that I will stay by your side—"
Alvin was wondering why Sajo Aika had changed her usual behavior today. Just as he finished speaking, he heard Sajo Aika continue, "Then to ensure your safety, you should sleep with Sakura and me tonight."
Alvin: “…”
No, sister, aren't your thoughts jumping a little too fast?
How did she connect staying safe with sleeping together?
In the past few Holy Grail Wars, which servant would sleep with his master?
Alvin was filled with the desire to complain.
Seeing Alvin's hesitation, Sajo Aika's mood suddenly dropped, and her face was gloomy: "Is it not possible?"
"Not really, it's just..."
Although he had no intention of doing anything bad, it would be too outrageous if this were to get out.
But in the end, Alvin reluctantly agreed.
"Well...if that's the Master's judgment..."
……
In the dark night, white snowflakes fell.
Countless flying insects quietly gathered in an alley and formed a hunched old figure.
He stumbled and slid down against the wall, raised his head, and felt the chill of the cold snowflakes falling on his face, his expression extremely gloomy.
From the founding of the Matou family to the present, Matou Zouken has rarely suffered such a great loss in the past five hundred years. If he had not reacted quickly this time, he might have been completely annihilated by the Holy Sword of the Star.
And... that is the Holy Sword of the Star that has not yet been unlocked.
