My two-dimensional resident

Whoosh whoosh!

Two pitch-black tentacles, tinged with a purple halo, attacked Lin Tian at a tricky angle, moving so fast that he had no way to dodge.

Pfft!

The tentacles pierced Lin Tian's body. Bluebeard, hiding within the magical defensive barrier, saw his sneak attack succeed but instead of laughing with joy, he began to weep.

He couldn't fathom how such a weak enemy could have killed his "best friend"...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred! The two tentacles began to burn. Bluebeard sensed something was wrong and released his spiritual energy.

He sensed that the magic maintaining the tentacles had been inexplicably ignited.

He was shocked to discover that the unknown flames he had never seen before could ignite magic. He hurriedly waved his fingers, trying to activate the magic in the human skin book to attack Lin Tian, ​​whose body had been pierced by tentacles.

But... a black sword pierced through his core without him noticing.

"They didn't even tell you my information. It seems you're just a pawn."

"Joan of Arc! My Joan of Arc..."

The core breaking signifies that the heroic spirit is entering "death".

As the magic within him slowly dissipated, in the final moments of his consciousness, Bluebeard saw his goddess Joan of Arc smiling and waving at him.

"Joan of Arc, have you come to pick me up?"

......

"As expected, besides assassins, warriors are also the fathers of mages!"

Lin Tian pulled the black sword from Bluebeard's body and took out an apple to eat. At the same time, he turned his gaze to the others.

"Ok?"

To his surprise, Ace did not follow his directions to find Tokiomi Tohsaka, but instead encountered Assassin and Kirei Kotomine on the way.

"I didn't sense Assassin just now, but now he's here, and his aura is incredibly strong. It seems Kirei Kotomine used a Command Spell to bring Assassin to his side..."

"Since Ace and Kirei Kotomine have been brought together by a twist of fate, then I'll leave the old bug and Tokiomi Tohsaka to myself!"

After swallowing the last bite of fruit, Lin Tian once again transformed into a crimson afterimage and charged towards the old worm.

Chapter 125 Encounter Battle! The Old Bug Must Die! (Bonus Chapter for 100 Monthly Tickets! Please Subscribe)

"Old Bug" is what everyone who has read the Fate series calls Zouken Matou.

He was the "father" of Matou Kariya, the pitiful man Lin Tian killed in the first battle, and the current head of the Matou family.

But in reality, he was the first head of the Matou family. He was cunning and cruel. In order to achieve immortality, he used magic to transform his body into an insect, parasitizing others to gain eternal life. He was an absolute monster.

In Kirei Kotomine's words, he was like a bloodsucker, both in his characteristics and personality, like a slug living in a cold, damp burrow.

"I never expected that you, who have already lost your eligibility for the Holy Grail War, would be so audacious as to cooperate with Tokiomi Tohsaka to launch a sneak attack on me? Tell me! Who gave you the courage?"

Lin Tian appeared in an open space, looking down at the lifeless, withered leaves below, and shouted disdainfully. The old bug was hiding under these withered leaves, but no matter how well it hid, it had nowhere to hide from Bai Yan.

Like Bluebeard, he was wearing the Emperor's New Clothes.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka is right. You do indeed possess hidden magic that we cannot fathom, or perhaps lost magic?"

With a whoosh, a strange whirlwind began to dance on the withered leaves, and countless marking insects crawled out from under the leaves. Guided by the whirlwind, they formed a huge insect hybrid, and then a bald, withered old man appeared in front of Lin Tian.

"You seem completely unconcerned that I killed your son. Just as the intelligence indicated, you have become a monster who has lost your humanity."

Now that the old bug had shown up, Lin Tian didn't want to waste any more words. He raised his hands high, and two fire grenades appeared in his hands.

With a simple tossing motion, the fire grenade traced two graceful arcs, flanking the old bug from both sides before exploding beside him.

"Huh? They just got away like that! Damn, this is a trap!"

Sensing a dozen or so relatively powerful insects, after the two fire grenades exploded, they burrowed into the soil and fled in all directions.

Lin Tian's heart sank, realizing there must be a trap involved. He then raised his hands and shouted.

"In the name of the Command Seal, Berserker is permitted to unleash his Noble Phantasm!"

"In the name of the Command Spell, grant Berserker boundless magical power!"

"In the name of the Command Seal, grant Lancer boundless magical power!"

After using up all the Command Seals he had, Lin Tian flew towards Erza's direction without looking back.

Although Lin Tian didn't know what conspiracy these old foxes were plotting against him, he remembered the famous saying of the Fire Cloud Evil God: "In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken."

To put it another way, if you want to be safer, you must resolve this battle quickly.

Since Lancer and Berserker were both picked up from the roadside, Lin Tian wouldn't feel a second's pain even if he used up all their Command Seals.

Burning Words

"After using Caster as a pawn, I sensed a conspiracy. And this old bug is clearly stalling for time..."

Now that he knew they were about to unleash a powerful attack, Lin Tian's first thought was to protect Erza.

As for Ace, Lin Tian was quite at ease. With Ace's current strength, as long as the three kings didn't fight him, the other Heroic Spirits and magicians were no match for him.

In the desolate and gloomy forest, Erza decapitated a familiar with a leaping slash. She had barely caught her breath when two more tiger-shaped familiars appeared above her, their claws outstretched as they lunged at her.

"Ah!"

With a soft cry, Erza left an afterimage in her original position before her true form appeared above the heads of the two tiger-shaped familiars.

"Two swallows flying together!"

Two black sword shadows slashed out, instantly striking the necks of the familiars. As easily as cutting tofu, the sword shadows encountered no resistance and severed their heads.

Peng!

With her feet firmly on the ground, Erza stood there like a female warrior.

Her tender little face revealed the unique aura of a future "fairy queen".

Kacha!

Because she had exhausted herself, Erza followed Lin Tian's example and took out an apple to chew on it in big bites.

"If my brother saw me kill all these familiars, he would definitely praise me!"

As Erza watched the corpses of the familiars around her slowly turn into gray-black smoke and dissipate, a joyful smile appeared on her face, her mouth full of apple juice.

Whoosh whoosh!

Just as Erza was imagining how Lin Tian would reward her, three Crest Worms hidden underground silently shot into her body from behind.

"Huh? Oh no!"

Suddenly feeling three foreign objects inside her body, Erza's expression darkened. She realized she had been too arrogant and had let her guard down in such a dangerous place.

"Damn it! If my brother finds out, he'll kill me!"

"Haha! What a vibrant body! From now on, this is mine!"

The old bug's aged voice echoed arrogantly in Erza's mind.

The third phase of his scheme has succeeded. Once the bloodsucking worm takes over the brain of this body, he will be freed from his emaciated body and reborn.

The plan is as follows: Phase 1: use the Caster I found by the roadside to lure Lin Tian away; Phase 2: reveal myself and lead Lin Tian to a more distant place; Phase 3: invade the girl's body.

"You wish! I won't let you succeed!"

The three Crest Worms were writhing wildly inside her, causing Erza intense pain. But upon hearing the unfamiliar old voice, her expression shifted, and she began to activate the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit within her.

"What?! What kind of power is this?! Aaaaaah! It's so hot! Damn it!"

Suddenly sensing that the surrounding tissues had transformed into raging flames, the old worm's bloodsucking body realized something was terribly wrong and tried to break through the flames to escape from Erza's body.

But Erza wasn't about to give him that chance. She used her elemental transformation ability to turn herself into a fireball, enveloping the old bug's bloodsucking body at the very center.

"Ah! Damn it... Let me out. Just let me out, and I'll give you anything you want."

Wealth, fame, even the spiritual veins beneath this mountain—I can give you anything! No, no, no! You must want the Holy Grail, right?

If you let me live, I can help you obtain the Holy Grail.

Please, I may not know this, but I am the first head of the Matou family, and I deserve one-third of the credit for the creation of the Holy Grail system.

"As long as you let me live, I will definitely help you obtain the Holy Grail."

A bloodsucking worm had been burned to ashes by the raging flames. The old worm never imagined that the moment it came closest to death would be the moment it possessed a little girl.

"Liar! I don't believe you! I'm going to burn you alive!"

Hearing the pleas of the worm inside her, Erza became even angrier.

Ignoring her remaining strength, she desperately increased the temperature inside the fireball, trying to burn the insect that had ambushed her.

"Please! Really, I'm not lying to you!"

Chapter 126 The First Double Standard Dog in History, Lin Tian!

In the old insect's plan, to deceive Lin Tian, ​​he left 90% of his magic power in the insect clones he created. The three bloodsucking insects, possessing his soul essence, retained only 10% of their magic power.

His plan was as successful as he had anticipated, and he tricked Lin Tian, ​​who possessed the White Eye, into leaving with his insect clone.

However, because his plan was too successful, the vampire, whose original form only had a layer of magic left, was trapped inside Erza's fireball cage, and was powerless to escape.

Faced with this bizarre flame that was not magic, he was in dire straits and had to sacrifice one of the bloodsucking worms to withdraw his magic so that the remaining two bloodsucking worms could withstand the astonishing heat.

However... he underestimated Erza's strength.

Noisy!Noisy!Noisy!

Another bloodsucking worm lost its vitality, its ugly body instantly turning to ash...

"Hmph, how dare you ambush me! I'll burn you to death!"

Ignoring the pleas for mercy from the disgusting worm inside her, Erza exerted her strength once more. Ignoring the consequences of exhaustion, she unleashed the full power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, determined to kill this "bad guy."

"Little girl, I know I was wrong. If you just let me go... I... I will..."

Time passed slowly, and the old insect's body began to wither; its once plump body had shrunk by two sizes.
