With just that one glance, he was pinned to the ground, without any chance of resistance.
This was obviously his base camp and the magic workshop where he received the most support. He even had the confidence to fight against the servants here, but the other party's nonchalant look completely destroyed his confidence and made him understand something deeply.
The person in front of you must never be made an enemy.
At this time, the other party's voice finally came.
"Are you talking to me?"
Hearing this question, Matou Zouken immediately changed his previous threatening attitude and began to become humble.
"May I ask what orders the Lord has for me? I will do my best to fulfill them."
It is impossible for a human magician to feel this level of oppression, and the gods have disappeared long ago.
Matou Zouken is confused about Su Mo's identity, but he has a very accurate grasp of his own position.
No matter what, save your life first.
But unfortunately, there was someone at the scene who didn't want him to save his life.
"Old bug! Lord Su Mo is here to kill you!"
After a cold snort, Toosaka Rin glanced at Su Mo's expression, and seeing that he had no objection, she directly threw a gem over.
"boom!"
The blazing flames exploded, and although it was only at the level of an average magus, it was enough to cause damage to Matou Zouken who was completely defenseless.
The blazing flames burned off half of Matou Zouken's body, but only caused severe injuries; the remaining insects were able to maintain basic life.
"Master Su Mo? I——"
Enduring the severe pain, Matou Zouken did not think of the existence corresponding to this divine name.
Just when I was about to ask something, I heard -
"boom!"
Having run out of gems, Toosaka Rin starts casting fireballs, apparently intending to burn him to death.
"it's useless!"
Matou Zouken suddenly revealed a twisted and hideous smile.
The smile didn't last for two seconds before it was interrupted by Su Mo's words.
"This one in front of me is just a bug clone."
"what?"
Lin was stunned for a moment and began to get anxious.
If this is a clone, then the original body...
"Hehehehe~"
Seeing that his greatest reliance was exposed, Matou Zouken let out a low laugh.
"It's too late. My real body has already left Fuyuki City. You can't catch me."
When it comes to saving his life and escaping, he is the best.
But to his surprise, when she heard this, Toosaka Rin didn't show much anxiety on her face.
On the contrary, she withdrew her hand and looked at Su Mo in front of her with admiration and trust.
"Since Lord Su Mo said so, are you planning to take action?"
No matter how many life-saving measures the opponent has, they can never be stronger than God, so Lin does not think this will be an obstacle, but rather a good thing.
If she were asked to kill them all, she would be really worried that she wouldn't be able to kill them all.
In response to Lin's question, Su Mo chuckled and shook his head.
"No, I have already taken action."
In front of Matou Zouken, whose face suddenly changed color, and Toosaka Rin, who was full of doubts, Su Mo moved his gaze to the center of the insect warehouse not far away and directly solved the mystery.
"The main effect of the Ugly Hour ritual is not simulation, but curse."
"And the curse of excellence often points directly to the soul."
Just like the traditional witchcraft of stabbing a villain, this is a spell that can be effective regardless of the distance.
Having lived in this island country for many years, Matou Zouken had naturally heard of this technique. When he thought of the effect of this technique, his soul trembled completely.
It was at this moment that the scarecrow in the insect bin glowed slightly and its image turned into a piece of steaming living meat.
The insects in the entire insect warehouse had their appetites aroused, and they immediately swarmed into the scarecrow, gnawing at its blood vessels and muscles, gnawing out passages inside, and thousands of insects rushed in.
At the same time, dozens of kilometers away, in the forest of Fuyuki City.
"Oh~uh uh!"
An extremely huge, scarlet-glowing zodiac insect suddenly fell to the ground. Dozens of its legs began to twitch violently, and its body began to twist and roll at angles that were not allowed by physical properties, as if it had suffered some unbearable pain.
At the Matou residence, Su Mo had already taken the two little girls out of the basement.
The Insect Manipulator is eaten by thousands of insects. This is the natural outcome.
But it is still too early for children of their age to experience the scene of thousands of insects devouring their hearts.
·
A few minutes later, in the library of the Matou family.
"Master Su Mo, I found information related to summoning heroic spirits!"
Rin, who had been rummaging through the collection of books for a long time, suddenly cheered and handed over a well-preserved papyrus book with both hands.
"I-I found some too."
Following closely behind was the somewhat unconfident Sakura.
"But this doesn't seem to be the information of the Matou family. The emblem on it seems to be that of the Einzbern family."
"Thank you, just leave it here."
Su Mo put down the development data about the Command Spell in his hand and glanced at the results of the two people's search.
"No problem. The Heroic Spirit Summoning is a ritual that the three great families studied together. The information from the Einzbern family is also very important."
Hearing Su Mo say this, Ying's eyes lit up slightly.
Fortunately, I was able to help.
Lin didn't care about such a small matter at all. She looked at the information compiled by Su Mo curiously and asked.
"Master Su Mo, what do you want these materials for? Do you also want to participate in the Holy Grail War?"
050 Butterfly Magic, the third method, Servant Summoning
"Why so surprised?"
Hearing Toosaka Rin's surprised tone, Su Mo asked back.
"I always feel that things on the level of the Holy Grail War are useless to you. Even if you have any wishes to make, the Holy Grail cannot make what you can't make, right?"
Scratching his head, Rin expressed his thoughts.
"Even if you contact the source, it's meaningless to you!"
If Su Mo participated in the Holy Grail War, the result would be no suspense. With his strength, he could easily end the war within ten minutes, and most of that time would be spent on searching for people.
As for the rewards brought by the Holy Grail War, whether it is the opportunity to make a wish that others may rush to pursue, or the root that magicians pursue, it should be nothing to Su Mo.
When Rin was receiving magical education from the Tōsaka family, she heard her father say that the pursuit of the root, which is now sought after by magicians, is something that the magicians of the Age of Gods and the gods themselves would disdain, because the power of the gods is inherently linked to the root, and the magicians of the Age of Gods can indirectly link to the root through their power, and there is no need for them to pursue it at all.
In this case, why would Su Mo need to participate in the Holy Grail War?
"There's nothing wrong with your idea when it comes to making a wish."
In response to Lin's question, Su Mo explained casually.
The so-called Holy Grail has accumulated magical power for sixty years through the spiritual vein of Fuyuki City. It seems infinite only to humans, but just ordinary to the godslayers. The power of the godslayers' curses is generally superior to that of the dragon veins.
Su Mo's cursed power capacity is stronger than that of ordinary godslayers, and naturally it is also superior to the Holy Grail.
The wish for the Holy Grail really means nothing to him.
"But, regarding the purpose of the Holy Grail War, it seems that Tōsaka Tokiomi hasn't explained much to you yet."
The so-called wishing machine is just a gimmick to attract heroic spirits and outsiders.
"The true purpose of the Holy Grail War is the chance to obtain the Third Law of Heaven's Grail. This is the most precious reward, and its importance even surpasses that of God."
The perpetual motion machine with infinite magic power is secondary. It is only the most superficial application of the third law. The materialization of the soul is the real core of this law.
Whether it is the manifestation of heroic spirits or the existence of gods, they are all closely related to the theory of the materialization of the soul.
If he could fully master this principle, Su Mo's strength might even leap forward by more than two levels.
"Not to mention, while there may be different levels of magic power, there is no difference between the quality of information."
"Even if it's just the techniques accumulated by ordinary magi, they may contain quite valuable inspiration."
"Like, right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo pulled out a book on insect magic that he had read, and then activated the improved technique.
"Squeaky-"
Massive swarms of insects leaped out from every corner of the Matou Residence, as if they had received orders from some existence, and all flew into the air, covering the entire Matou Residence like a dark cloud.
"Alas!"
Seeing at least a million bugs gathering from all directions, Toosaka Rin was getting goosebumps.
Sakura also showed a somewhat uneasy expression and took a step forward to hide behind Su Mo.
The noisy noise soon quieted down completely. The massive amount of insects that even Zouken Matou himself could not control all broke out of the ground under Su Mo's command, and then fell into the courtyard at the same time, forming snow-white cocoons.
Half a minute later, these snow-white cocoons began to tremble continuously, and were finally torn apart by the creatures inside.
"Wow! Is this... a butterfly?"
Toosaka Rin looked stunned.
The originally hideous and ugly insects turned into gorgeous butterflies after hatching again. A large number of butterflies began to fly around the Matou residence like a beautiful ribbon.
Seeing this incredibly magnificent scene, even Sakura put aside her fear.
"Can such a disgusting insect magic be transformed into something so beautiful?"
Lin was once again impressed by Su Mo's understanding. He was worthy of being called Lord Su Mo, who could make something out of nothing.
"Strictly speaking, butterflies also belong to the class Insecta. This is not a transformation, but an extension."
Su Mo shook his head and reached out to stop Lin who wanted to catch one to have a look.
"In addition, don't be fooled by their gorgeous appearance. They are still the same harmful beasts that grew up by gnawing on human flesh and blood. They are not worth keeping alive!"
As Su Mo spoke, flames suddenly ignited on the wings of a scarlet butterfly.
It was a ray of red flame.
The flames quickly expanded and, along with the flying butterflies, formed a red fire tornado.
A huge fire tornado covered the entire Matou residence, burning down the insect nests, buildings, courtyards, and even all life within the area.
The sacred flame purified everything, including Matou Zouken who was suffering from the pain of being eaten by thousands of insects.
In the jungle outside the border of Fuyuki City, the struggling ninjutsu was burned by the red flames along with the scarecrow until only ashes remained.
The magician Matou Zouken, or Machiri Zorgen, officially ended his dark and twisted life without even leaving his soul.
And on Sonzo Mountain, where the Great Holy Grail magic circle is located below Ryudo Temple, Toosaka Rin looked at the grand flame of the Matou residence that was gradually disappearing, and suddenly patted her head as if she remembered something.
"Oh no! I should have used a barrier to hide it earlier. Now the whole city has seen it. How am I going to explain this?"
