A dagger twirled around her, drawing sharp, gleaming lines.

Skadi slowly walked to the place where she had committed the murder. She stood quietly in the darkness, waiting for her visitor.

"Is this the place where fourteen people died before?"

"Tsk tsk, they've all been cleaned up, what a pity."

A strange young man with orange hair walked over, looked at the police cordon on the ground, and then looked around at the surrounding environment, feeling somewhat regretful.

"Don't worry, Ryunosuke Uryu, you'll be joining them soon."

A voice came from beside him, and before Ryunosuke Uryuu could react, a knife had already been slit across his neck.

Skadi, who had easily killed her opponent, slowly walked over, looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and began to make arrangements according to the plan she had made beforehand.

First, he hid a dagger in Ryunosuke Uryu's pocket that was exactly the same as the one he used.

This dagger also contains the DNA of dozens of different people.

She then went to Ryunosuke Uryu's house and arranged the various documents, logs, and other items that she had forged over the past two days in a special order.

Then he adjusted his TV programs.

After doing all this, she erased her traces and slowly left the place.

The reason for killing Ryunosuke Amusei is simple: he was one of the Masters of the original Fourth Holy Grail War.

His Servant class is "Caster".

Ryunosuke Uryu was a pure serial killer who took pleasure in killing.

This person has little impact on the battle, is not important in themselves, and is a serial killer.

Even if Skadi killed him, it wouldn't have any impact.

If he is killed, the position of Master of the "Caster" class will be vacant.

This is exactly what Skadi wanted, because the Servant class she wanted to choose was "Caster," which is also known as "Magician."

Because most Servants possess magical resistance skills, the "Caster" class, which specializes in magic, is also known as the weakest class.

The class skills are "Item Generation" and "Territory Construction," which are skills that offer little help in real-time combat.

But Skadi didn't mind; in fact, one could say that Caster was the most suitable class for her.

Because of her immense energy, but in battle she tends to rely on her superior combat skills and physical abilities to solve problems.

The enormous amount of energy is often inexhaustible, with almost no consumption.

The best outcome would be to entrust this energy to Caster for processing.

Besides, the Caster she wants might not actually be weak.

"I wonder what she will do after receiving my boost."

It's not time to summon it yet; it has to be done before the Holy Grail War.

However, this also gave her time to find the summoning medium, allowing her to greet the approaching person in the best possible condition...

The next day, another news announcement was issued.

The murderer who killed 14 people the day before yesterday returned to the murder site last night and committed suicide.

The perpetrator has been identified as "Ryunosuke Uryu".

The murderer's home was searched, and various tools he used to commit the crime were found.

Moreover, he was also involved in some previous murder cases.

The process of committing the crime, the purpose, and the thoughts behind it were all recorded in the log.

Then came the report on the entire case, as well as an exposé of the person "Ryunosuke Uryu".

In just two days, they uncovered the biggest criminal case in Fuyuki City in recent years.

Although the murderer's "suicide" was a contributing factor, it was indeed a great achievement.

This has led many to praise the Fuyuki City Police Department, expressing their appreciation for their speed in handling cases.

Moreover, the entire television station was broadcasting it on a loop, giving it maximum publicity.

What they didn't know was that the "nightmare" in Fuyuki City was not over; it had only just begun...

PS2: Guess who I'm going to summon.

Chapter Seventeen: I'll make you kneel down, you bug!

Two days later, Tokiomi Tohsaka returned to the Tohsaka residence in a flurry of activity.

The next day, Sakura Tohsaka was adopted into the Matou family and became a Matou child.

That night, just as Zouken Matou was about to send Sakura to the Insect Warehouse to modify her body with Crest Insects, a person wearing a white cloak floated up.

They entered the Matou family home.

Upon seeing this person, Zouken Matou wore a strange expression.

He looks like a magician, but there's no trace of magic in his movements?

Could it be a follower? But it doesn't seem like it.

The person who floated over didn't say anything; she simply drifted slowly to Matou Sakura, who was still unsure what was about to happen, and picked her up.

You come, and you must leave.

"Insolence!" Zouken Matou was instantly enraged when he saw the person he had chosen being picked up and taken away.

"Hmm?" She turned her head to look at him. Under the dark hood, there was only a pair of emerald red eyes; the rest of her eyes were pitch black.

"Kneel down." A cold rebuke came, and Zouken Matou's body seemed to be crushed by a mountain, and he knelt down on the ground.

That force should have been enough to make him lie on the ground, but some repulsive force from the ground was preventing him from doing so.

In the end, he could only kneel down, head bowed, and submit to the mysterious man before him in humiliation.

"Zouken Matou, I'm not killing you so you can see your own defeat, not because I can't kill you."

As the cold voice rang out, the walls of the insect silo were shattered by an invisible force.

Then, a ball of light appeared above the insect chamber, illuminating the distorted, ugly figures of the countless Crest Insects inside.

"He wants to throw you in there and let these bugs devour you."

A gentle voice rang in Matou Sakura's ear, unlike the cold voice from before.

Sakura Matou recognized the voice immediately; it was that beautiful Skadi.

If it were someone else, Matou Sakura might not believe it.

But this person is Skadi, the one who has brought her countless joys these past few days, the one she admires and the one she wants to become like in the future.

Moreover, the scene inside the insect silo was indeed too shocking, causing an indelible impact on Matou Sakura's young mind.

He had only recently been adopted into the Matou family and had no feelings for Matou Zouken at all.

Although I have an uncle named Kariya Matou, he's not here...

The person I should trust is Skadi.

Sakura Matou was unaware that Skadi's voice had just been seductive, guiding her to obey her.

So after a moment of internal struggle, she completely sided with Skadi and trusted her.

"Come with me. Even though we can't go home, I can still give you the same warmth."

As she murmured something in her ear, Matou Sakura slowly nodded.

"Sakura, if you dare... *splatter*..."

Zouken Matou immediately understood Skadi's purpose upon hearing the conversation between Skadi and Sakura Matou.

He wanted to bring up the Tohsaka family, exploiting her respect for her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, and her feelings for her mother, Aoi Tohsaka, and her older sister, Rin Tohsaka.

He used his emotions to intimidate Sakura.

A girl this young, if threatened like this, would most likely reject Skadi outright.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, he was struck in the back by an immense force.

He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, in which something seemed to be wriggling.

"You stinky bug, shut up, or I won't hesitate to..."

"Oh, I'll help you destroy everything here."

Skadi harbored a deep loathing for Zouken Matou, even though she couldn't kill him now because he still had some use to her.

But that doesn't mean I'll make him comfortable.

Since everything he has comes from these insects, I might as well help him clean them up.

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely bright light shone on the Matou family's residence.

The light lasted for half a minute.

When the light faded, the insect silo had been completely destroyed.

Along with the area hundreds of meters underground, everything was reduced to ruins, leaving only a huge cave.

Not only was Mushikura injured, but Zouken Matou also suffered severe injuries, with his eyes burned off and half of his body's skin charred.

Let alone an ordinary person, any other magician would have died. I don't know how he survived.

When the relevant personnel arrived at the scene, they were all surprised by what they saw.

What's even more surprising is that Zouken Matou is still alive; it's practically a miracle.

But whether he is dead or not, the Matou family has completely bid farewell to this Holy Grail War and can no longer continue.

With one of the three starter families gone, the discussion about whether to continue the event only lasted a few days, and the information that followed was that it should continue.
