Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

After being shocked, Shen Qiu quickly calmed down. Although Zouken, who now possessed the body of a Heroic Spirit, had become stronger, his weaknesses were also more obvious. As long as he devised a good strategy, he might not necessarily lose to him.

On his way to Ryudou Temple, he smelled a strong stench of blood. Even though he was at the temple gate, thanks to the extraordinary perception of his three-tomoe Sharingan, he could already see what the scene inside the temple was like.

Some monks' bodies were reduced to piles of white bones and carelessly discarded in various corners of the temple. Other monks' bodies were not completely eaten, and various insects were still slowly gnawing on them.

"They're just a bunch of ants; they're dead, so be it."

Seemingly because he was happy to have a new body, Zouken Matou's tone of voice no longer carried the dark and ominous aura of before, but instead carried a hint of cheering and jubilation.

"So this is where we can never reconcile, Machiri."

Upon hearing Zouken Matou's words, Shen Qiu sighed softly.

"To you, human life is so worthless, like an ant on the roadside, easily crushed by a single step. To you, whether it's me, Kariya, or Sakura, we are all just consumables used to achieve your goals."

"Use it when you need it, and leave it aside when you don't. When it's completely worthless, just use it to feed the bugs. Am I right, Machiri?"

By this point, Shen Qiu had already revealed a great deal of sarcasm towards him.

“You’re just a complete egoist, Machiri.”

As an outsider, Shen Qiu naturally knew what kind of past this man had, but no matter how noble his ideals were, when he resorted to all sorts of dirty methods to achieve them, those ideals themselves were tainted.

"You little rascal, you little rascal, you little rascal!"

"What do you know, you greenhorn? Do you think I became like this? You have no idea what I've been through in the past five hundred years, do you know how much I've sacrificed? What do you know, you little brat!"

At this point, Salieri, or rather, Zaoyan, let out a deafening roar. This bone-chilling rage had begun to make him somewhat irrational. After assimilating Salieri, he too had unconsciously been influenced by Salieri to some extent.

His originally calm and collected personality is now easily irritated and angered by the characteristics of an Avenger.

"Runic rune, protection"

"Unleash Magic - Prepare".

Ignoring the furious roar of the dirty inkstone on the steps, an invisible aura rippled across Shen Qiu's body, and blue magic began to flow wildly into the magic circuits throughout his body through his magic mark.

A jet-black wakizashi appeared in his hand, and the three-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye began to spin wildly. Today, he had to kill Matou Zouken no matter what!

"Matou's Dirty Inkstone—"

"Death!"

With the combined effects of runes and magical energy, Shen Qiu's body possessed speed and strength dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person. In a vision that was difficult to perceive with the naked eye, Shen Qiu's body shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

"I'm not the same person I used to be." Looking at Shen Qiu rushing towards him at incredible speed, Zou Yan sneered. The black cross sword that originally belonged to Salieri appeared in his hand, and he began to fight Shen Qiu swiftly.

"Too slow, too slow, too slow. Zouken Matou, is this all you've got?"

With the clanging of steel, Shen Qiu's wakizashi flew up and down at an extremely fast speed. With the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, as well as the powerful buffs from Rune and magic release, he was now fully capable of going head-to-head with Heroic Spirits.

"Damn it, you brat!"

When faced with Shen Qiu's high-frequency and high-speed attacks, Matou Zouken was clearly overwhelmed. Neither the original Matou Zouken nor the current Salieri is actually a class that is very good at close combat.

"There is a flaw!"

Soon, Zouken was unable to cope with Shen Qiu's attacks. In a moment of opening, Shen Qiu suddenly exerted force with his left leg, lifting the already transformed Heroic Spirit Zouken dozens of meters away!

Chapter 63: Deadly Battle - Zouken Matou (Part 2)

"You little brat..."

The man who was kicked away by Shen Qiu was not actually injured much. After all, the bodies of heroic spirits are vastly different from those of humans. After struggling to get up, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable killing intent.

"A prairie fire!"

Like Salieri, a black violin appeared in his hand. He glanced at Shen Qiu with a cold smile. This was a power that no ordinary person could possibly withstand; even powerful heroes like Heroic Spirits often couldn't withstand this attack.

Using a black cross as his bow, Zou Yan coldly began to play his black violin!

In an instant, blue, ghostly flames began to appear from all four directions of Liudong Temple. The menacing flames seemed poised to devour Shen Qiu completely in the blink of an eye.

"Water Magic—"

Shen Qiu remained calm upon seeing the raging fire; a blue water sphere slowly gathered in the palm of his right hand.

"The sound of the tides and the sea!"

The small water ball in Shen Qiu's hand seemed to sense something and burst open instantly. As the strongest magic that Shen Qiu had mastered so far, this move, just like its name, could create a tide-like scene like the ocean!

"It's no use, it's no use! The Wildfire is not an ordinary flame, but a flame with mental pollution and attack capabilities. No matter what, ordinary water cannot extinguish it!"

Seemingly aware that he had victory in his grasp, Zouken Matou appeared extremely confident at this moment.

Shen Qiu ignored the increasingly erratic Matou Zouken and gently closed his eyes. As a great magic technique recorded in the ancient scriptures of the Age of Gods, this move required absolute concentration to use.

Countless drops of water continuously flowed out from that small water sphere, quickly filling the area around Shen Qiu. Then, as if summoned by some unseen force, it began to violently assault everything around it!

Zouken Matou's seemingly invincible blue flames were extinguished instantly upon first contact. However, the seemingly endless onslaught of water did not stop, but rather increased and increased until it finally formed a towering giant wave!

"How can this be..."

Before Zou Yan could react, he was swallowed up by the giant wave. The effect of mixing a portion of the runes into ordinary magic was surprisingly good.

“Nothing is impossible, Machiri. Your vision is too narrow. You’ve lived too long and have probably forgotten what true water magic is, haven’t you?” As a massive amount of water began to uncontrollably rush out of Ryudou Temple and flow down Enzang Mountain, Shen Qiu finally stopped using the magic.

"Hahahaha, to talk about magic in front of an old man like me, this is truly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!"

After the water level dropped, Zouken Matou, who had been submerged, was revealed. Although he was protected by his A-rank inherent skill, [Lament Outfit], he was still seriously injured.

While speaking, it kept spitting out large amounts of blood. Although the heroic spirit's body was made of magic, everything inside its body was real.

"You still don't understand?"

At this moment, Shen Qiu's gaze towards the crazed old man now held a hint of pity.

"You have lived for five hundred years without making any progress. No, not only are you standing still, but you are even regressing. Do you have any other needs besides the desire for life? There is nothing wrong with the desire for life, living for the sake of living."

"But if you're willing to do anything to survive, to become a monster, to take the lives of others, just to live for yourself, then you, Machiri, your very existence will have no meaning!"

Seemingly due to extreme anger, Shen Qiu's tone began to lose control.

"You don't understand anything at all! As long as I'm alive, as long as I'm alive, I can achieve anything, I have the opportunity to do anything, so I must live!"

Because his magical energy source is connected to the Holy Grail, Zouken possesses an almost inexhaustible magical energy source. Therefore, as long as the game drags on, he will surely be the victor!

An uncontrollable surge of killing intent erupted from Shen Qiu! When he looked at Matou Zouken again, his eyes were filled with a fierce glint.

"Zoken Matou, do you really think I'm completely unprepared to deal with you? Do you think I'm such a fool?" Shen Qiu's words were full of sarcasm.

"No matter how eloquent you are, it's all for show. Look at you, what can this human body of yours do? In a few decades, you'll just be a pile of rotten flesh, and eventually die while you're still barely clinging to life."

Shen Qiu held the black wakizashi tightly in his hand.

Chapter 64: Deadly Battle - Zouken Matou (Part 2)

"But—it doesn't really matter."

For some reason, Zouken Matou suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis. Although it was ridiculous to feel a sense of crisis in the face of such a child, he still decided that he had to finish the battle quickly.

With this thought in mind, a huge piano appeared behind him, which was Salieri's original Noble Phantasm! But that's not all. His original red and black tuxedo had turned completely black, making him look both elegant and eerie.

Inherent Skill: [Innocent Monster]

Salieri never killed anyone in his lifetime, but through word-of-mouth rumors, the legend of his assassination spread to every corner of the world, thus turning Salieri into an innocent monster.

In this mode, Salieri's overall stats will be further enhanced, and he will become even more ruthless. If the previous Salieri was the real Salieri, then the current Salieri has become the Salieri that people talk about.

That is, the "cold-blooded, ruthless, and vicious murderer".

Although the person controlling that body had changed to Zouken Matou, the effect remained the same.

“My magic power, connected to the Holy Grail’s core, is inexhaustible, while you, as a mortal, can never escape the predicament of running out of magic power. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might just let the lewd worms suck your brain marrow dry.”

Perhaps influenced by the innocent monster, the voice of the previously dry and hoarse Zang Yan now carries a hint of Salieri's calm yet ruthless tone, with even some musical notes audible within his words.

"Yes, as a human, I am indeed unable to fight against Heroic Spirits."

After taking a deep breath, Shen Qiu extracted all the magic power stored in the Azure Wave Bracelet and transferred it to his body. The magic circuits, which had been exhausted due to the use of the Great Magic of the Age of Gods, began to activate again.

"Then I'll turn you into an ordinary human, won't that be enough, Machiri?" A massive source of magic exploded from Shen Qiu's body, releasing magic once again. Although his whole body was in excruciating pain due to the aftereffects, no matter what, Zouken must die today.

"O Most High God, have mercy on me!"

Without further ado, Zouken activated the treasure that originally belonged to Salieri. The black piano emitted a beautiful yet eerie sound without being played, and then a massive white flame roared and rushed towards Shen Qiu!

"Powerful Demon Seal—"

The strange black symbols on Shen Qiu's body and the patterns on half of his face seemed to come alive as they fell to the ground and began to spread and spread incessantly.

Ignoring Salieri's powerful Noble Phantasm, they spread at incredible speed to Zouken Matou's feet and the entire Ryudouji Temple. Pitch black as ink, they looked utterly eerie.

"Black Moon Temple!"

Shen Qiu and Matou Zouken's vision went black at the same time, and when they woke up again, they were already inside the barrier of the single Karabi.

"How is this possible? This, this..." Zouken Matou was horrified to discover that he had lost his magic power, which also meant that he could no longer use any skills except for his stronger body.
