Don't force me to use my right fist.

Chapter 240 The Hidden Card of Jian Dong Zang Yan

Zouken Matou truly hadn't expected that Saya could unleash AOE attacks like it was nothing. He was actually quite confident in the insects he had raised. Not to mention reaching the level of the Right Seat of God, at the very least, he could become one of the top figures in the Church of Shingon based on them.

After all, the combination of mana absorption and swarm tactics made them virtually impossible for ordinary people to handle. In fact, these insects are also extremely resistant to firearms; ordinary explosions simply cannot harm them. The problem is, the red and white striped cube that Zuo You threw was definitely not a regular bomb!

Whose bomb can penetrate five meters of soil? Isn't this just an attempt to demolish someone's house?

What made Zouken Matou even more desperate was that this obviously precious item was treated like a firecracker by a child, and was casually thrown away by Saya. Feeling increasingly disadvantaged, Zouken Matou began to have second thoughts, but after glancing at the slender black-haired loli behind Saya, he hardened his heart again.

He absolutely couldn't give up like this. If he ran away, not only would Saya completely destroy the magic factory beneath his entire Makoto family, but he would also surely take that little girl with him. Finding such a container again wouldn't be so easy, and he didn't have time to wait any longer.

So, while Saya was still acting like a crazed Ivan, throwing TNT everywhere, a card flashed across the old bug's hand, shimmering with a strange light. The killing intent in his eyes as he looked at Saya intensified once more. Using his last trump card for this guy was really not worth it.

However, there's no other way for now. If we don't find a way to get rid of him, things will only get more complicated.

"Why are you looking at me like that? The bug I killed wasn't anyone to you. Why do you hate me so much? If you really hate me that much, then come and hit me." Actually, Saya had been paying attention to what the old bug was doing, guarding against a sneak attack. He noticed the old bug's gaze turning cold again. Although he didn't know what the old bug was planning, Saya decided to mock him first.

If this old bug wants to escape, it will be quite troublesome.

"Hmph, courting death!" Zouken sneered, and three enormous centipedes, each as thick as a water bucket, burst forth, bypassing the explosives thrown by Saya, and attacked directly in Saya's direction. And he himself, just as Saya had said, stood atop the head of a sandworm-like insect, also charging towards Saya.

"I wouldn't mind if you were sent to your death."

The shield in his hand switched once again to the diamond sword of the arthropod killer. A dazzling sword light flashed, and the three giant centipedes that were attacking Wakasayu were cut into several pieces in mid-air.

The longsword in Zuoyou's hand ignored their hard exoskeletons as easily as cutting tofu, and given that Zuoyou was slower than him, this result was to be expected.

But Zouken Ken didn't expect these three worms to play any significant role; he was simply using this opportunity to get closer to Saya.

Standing atop the head of a sandworm-like insect, Zouken Matou raised his cane and, as if enraged, struck Saya on the head.

"Isn't this a bit too deliberate?"

Sawa knew with his own eyes that this was definitely a trap, but even so, he didn't intend to let him go. This was experience delivered right to his doorstep. As for what other schemes he might have, Sawa didn't think he couldn't handle it. With a focused gaze, Sawa wielded his diamond-like sword and made a downward slashing motion, directly cutting the mummy-like old man in front of him, along with the sand worm that lunged at him with its gaping maw, into two pieces. However, Sawa didn't show any joy. Just as Sawa was starting to wonder, the man he had just killed, Zashiro, transformed into a swarm of small black insects and quickly attacked him. But Sawa, who was prepared, threw a spider web forward, instantly trapping all the insects on it.

"Pfft, so is this a self-destruction tactic? Or is it an opportunity to escape?" Zuo You frowned, and after setting the insects and their spiderweb ablaze with a flint and steel, he looked at the other insects that he had already blasted into a frenzy.

He absolutely could not believe that the old bug would donate so quickly. This thing might not be good at anything else, but it was absolutely top-notch when it came to surviving.

Just as Saya had predicted, while he was still wondering, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed. Even though Saya quickly leaped to the side, he couldn't stop the attack from the black-robed monster that suddenly emerged from the collapsed floor.

A strange man in a jet-black robe appeared in front of Saya as if by teleportation. His twisted, grotesque claws, like those of a demon, reached out at an odd angle toward Saya's chest. Only then did Saya realize that beneath the strange man's black robe was the old worm's evil and twisted old face.

Looking at the arm that had already touched his chest, Zuoyou immediately realized what this guy was planning and what situation he was facing.

“I’ve told you before, young people shouldn’t meddle in so many other people’s business. Don’t think you’re so great just because you have a little skill. That’s just because I wasn’t taking it seriously.” - Wihl

The old bug's gloomy voice rang in Saya's ears, and at the same time, his twisted and disgusting arm touched Saya's chest.

"Now, regret your previous arrogance. It's time to enjoy your death." A strange light emerged from that arm, and when he withdrew it, a beating heart had appeared on it. Zouken's face could no longer contain his smugness and madness. He shouted out the name of the Noble Phantasm he had learned to control, and crushed the heart in his hand into a pool of blood. Saya, opposite him, also coughed up a mouthful of blood, but the fear hidden behind his pumpkin head did not appear in his eyes as the old insect had expected.

"Nobody said that a burst heart means certain death, right?" whl

Sōyū, who should have collapsed, clenched his fist and stepped forward, delivering a punch without reservation to the old insect's face, who was still hoping for his death.

Chapter 241 I'm really good at digging!

Zouken Matou truly hadn't expected that Saya would still be able to retaliate after suffering such an attack. Even a vampire would have their fighting ability reduced if their heart was crushed, right? But Saya just stood there stunned for a moment, spat out blood, and threw a punch—it was simply too much. Did he think the heart was some useless part? But no matter how surprised Zouken Matou was, the fact that he had been hit by Saya's fist was undeniable.

Even with his trump card, temporarily gaining the power of a mythical Heroic Spirit, this punch nearly killed him. This card, known as the Dream Summoning, was a last resort he had discovered long ago from various encounters. It could not only grant access to the abilities of legendary Heroic Spirits but also recreate their signature Noble Phantasms. However, for Matou Zouken, this card had a well-known weakness: if Saya were to actually damage his body beneath the black robe, it could be fatal. He certainly wouldn't have taken this risk if it weren't for his desire to eliminate Saya as soon as possible, but who could have imagined that this unexpected event would actually occur?

Saya's fist slammed into his face, and a force seemingly surpassing the impact of the meteorite came from his fist, sending Zouken flying. His head exploded into a spray of blood the instant the fist made contact, and something like the severed limbs of an insect wriggled from his severed head, as if trying to repair the wounds.

Unfortunately, Saya wouldn't give him that chance, flashing to the front of the headless body of Zoro Matou. Saya raised his fist again.

"Trying to ambush you, huh? Then watch me smash you into a pancake!" He wiped the blood from his mouth with his free finger. Losing his heart was truly like losing a missing part for Saiyu; although it was uncomfortable, it wasn't fatal. Thanks to the MC system, most weaknesses that humans have are ineffective against Saiyu. Even if someone were to twist his head off, as long as his life force wasn't low, Saiyu could recover by consuming hunger points. And the speed was incredibly fast.

Right now, Saku is once again feeling his heart pounding and blood flowing through his body.

"You take out my heart, I'll give you my heart-fisted fist, isn't that reasonable?" Saya, clenching his fist, didn't wait for Zouken's reply and directly punched him in the chest. The entire ground of the Zouken family trembled at the blow, and cracks even spread from the ground centered on Saya's fist.

Zouken Matou's already weakened body rapidly disintegrated into a pile of exploding insects under this punch, disgusting pus oozing from beneath him, emitting a foul stench. Saya even saw it: inside Zouken's completely shattered body, an unusually large Crest Insect struggled to burrow into the soil beneath him. By the time Saya reacted, only a small hole, about the thickness of an arm, remained in the ground.

"Oh, it's actually the old bug's true form?"

Sōyū hadn't expected that he would actually catch the old insect's true form. He had originally thought that he would have to tear open the entire Kentō family compound to find the creature's true form, but it turned out that it was actually inside this body. However, burrowing underground would indeed be a bit troublesome, as the insect's body would have a great advantage in this situation.

Furthermore, this was originally where the old insect raised various insects, so if it really wanted to hide, Saya would still have a headache. Fortunately, with the old insect's body disintegrating, the magical energy in the vicinity that had been absorbed by its magic was restored. With magical energy back, Saya wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find this guy.

Saya casually picked up a piece of cloth from the stinking corpse that Matou had discovered and skillfully conjured a tracking spell.

"I'm a man of my word. If I say I want you dead, I absolutely won't let you live until tomorrow. You're still too green to compete with me in digging." Saya sneered at Zouken Wakamamoto's corpse and took out a diamond pickaxe from his backpack. The magical arrow pointing in the direction pointed directly to the ground. After hesitating for a moment, Saya decided to settle the loli on his back first before chasing after him.

Going down into the mine is basic stuff for him, but the little girl on his back is unlikely to be able to handle that kind of feeling, not to mention the high probability of sudden attacks from underground, and even more serious oxygen deprivation. However, Saku naturally can't just leave her in this ruin and ignore her. You know, that old bug might have some shortcuts or something. Right now, all he cares about is Sakura. If he manages to kidnap her, Saku will have nowhere to cry.

"If you take this thing and someone attacks you later, just throw it on the ground, understand?" Saku placed an Ender Pearl in Sakura Tohsaka's hand. Perhaps because these things were bound to him, Saku noticed that as long as he gave away an Ender Pearl, Kaguya would also have one in her pocket, which would make it convenient for him to return quickly.

"Just wait here quietly, I'll be back soon, okay?" He patted the little girl's head again, then simply surrounded her with stones, leaving only a small opening for ventilation. After tidying up the area, he dug up the block beneath his feet, following the arrow of the tracking magic.

When it comes to digging tunnels, the Cube Man is a pro. Even if it's a bug on the other side, it definitely can't outrun him. Even if he has to burrow to the center of the earth, Zuo You is going to find that guy and kill him today.

"Dear Mr. Insect Gift Pack, I'm here."

Sawa felt like the protagonist in GetBackers, wielding not a manuscript, but a fire axe slowly hacking open a door.

"Here's Johnny?"

Chapter 242 The End of the Old Bug

The diamond pickaxe with efficiency level 5 was incredibly fast at mining the ground. Even though Zuoyou had fallen behind the old bug by quite a bit of time, he quickly tracked down its tracks underground. It wasn't that some tracking magic had given any indication; rather, the number of bugs that had suddenly sprung out of the surrounding soil and crevices had increased dramatically.

The fiercer the resistance, the closer Zuoyou is to the old insect's direction; otherwise, there would be absolutely no obstacles.

Finally, after Saya slayed a scorpion-like insect that was about to burst out of the soil above his head with a single sword strike, his pickaxe also chiseled through the rock in front of him, which was riddled with traces of insects emerging from it. No one would have imagined that, thirty meters underground beneath the Makoto family's residence, there would be such a large, hollowed-out space, densely packed with all sorts of insects. And in the very center of this swarm, Saya immediately spotted the special crested insect, constantly absorbing the other insects to replenish its strength.

"You've kept it well hidden, old bug. I'm even better at digging this out than you are. Did you even think of that?"

Putting away his manuscript, Saku once again raised his diamond sword and pointed it at his opponent.

"Young man, there's no need to be so ruthless. I admit you're more capable now, and you were able to take that girl away. I won't interfere in anything else. How about we just let it go?" Wir was clearly surprised that Zuo You had managed to track him down to this place. The old insect was flustered by his sudden appearance, and the insects rolled around, trying to hide him. At the same time, his aged voice echoed from all sides of the underground insect nest.

"Of course, I'll definitely give you some compensation and rewards afterward. How about we become friends?"

His tone betrayed barely suppressed panic. The severely injured Zouken Matou clearly didn't want to fight Saya again. The more he learned about Saya's abilities, the more terrifying they became. Every time he thought Saya's strength was limited, he was always unexpectedly proven wrong. If given another chance, he definitely wouldn't choose to fight this guy.

"Oh? What compensation and reward? I'd love to hear it, but first, you should appear in front of me before saying that, shouldn't you?" The magic underground is much scarcer than the surface, so it seems the old bug has raised quite a few bugs that absorb magic. However, as Zuoyou raised the TNT in his hand, the previously restless swarm of bugs instantly calmed down.

"If you do that, this whole place will collapse, and neither of us will survive!" The terrified voice of the insect rang out again. He knew how outrageously damaging the thing in Zuo You's hand was, and what was even more outrageous was that once this guy started throwing it, he would never just throw one. He would definitely not be able to escape, and whether Zuo You could escape was no longer his concern. So after hesitating for a while, the insects that had been huddled together slowly dispersed, revealing a strangely shaped mark insect among them.

It can only be blamed on the fact that Sōyū posed too great a threat, leaving it with no other choice but to take such action. Otherwise, it would never normally reveal its true form.

"Can we have a proper talk now? You're a weirdo, and I'm about to become one too, so we can be considered kindred spirits, right?"

A swarm of small black insects converged on the large, fat marking insect, and soon coalesced into the shape of a hunched old man.

Ugh, do you know what I hate most? It's being treated like a weirdo!

Sōyū's lips twitched. When it comes to pinpointing the perfect mistakes, this guy is really something else.

And even with such threats, this guy still didn't behave.

Looking at the arrow pointing to the side, which wasn't actually targeting the old man standing in front of him with a chasing spell, Saku tossed the TNT up and then put it away.

"I certainly don't know about that, so since you don't like it, I won't mention it. As for other things, whether it's money or power, as long as the Jian Dong family can provide it, I can give it to you unconditionally. Do you think that's enough for you to spare my life?" Chao Ruo Zuoyou revealed a fawning smile, his humble demeanor completely different from his previous arrogant appearance as he asked Chao Ruo Zuoyou.

"Oh? Anything is fine?"

Sōyū's eyes lit up, looking quite interested.

"That's for sure. As the head of the household, I never tell lies."

The old man boasted about his honesty without batting an eye. As long as Zuoyou could still communicate, it meant he still had a chance, and perhaps even if he offered enough bargaining chips, he could even get that girl back.

"That's good. I only want what I just said. You should have no problem with that, right?" Saya narrowed his eyes and, before Zouken could react, swung his diamond sword and cut Zouken's newly formed body in two.

"You said yourself that anything you can provide is fine, I just want your life, it's that simple." The tip of his sword pierced the body of a Marked Insect that was trying to escape from the half-corpse, and Saya said as if talking to himself. With the death of this insect, the other insects quickly became restless, as if they had lost their controller, fighting each other or fleeing. Everything seemed to have settled down, but Saya showed no sign of stopping. He casually tossed a few TNT pellets into the insect nest and swung his longsword to stop a small, ordinary white insect, about the thickness of a finger.

"How long are you going to keep up this act, Mr. Zouken Matou? Don't think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your identity." With a smile, Saya, hiding behind the pumpkin head, revealed Zouken Matou's final escape plot. The insect, seemingly oblivious to Saya's words, merely crawled around on the ground like a headless fly, as if searching for a place to burrow.

"Since you insist on pretending, there's nothing I can do about it."

Sōyū swung his longsword, thrusting it directly at the small white insect. The old insect, who had just removed its disguise at the last moment to discuss things with Sōyū, was engulfed by the light of the diamond sword before it could even finish speaking.

Chapter 243 The Winery That Almost Arrived Late

Sawa didn't listen to this guy's rambling ideas. Although basically every villain in the Type-Moon world has their reasons for being evil, and even the most hateful people have their pitiful aspects, it seemed that none of that had anything to do with Sawa.

Forgiving them is God's business, and what Sawa needs to do is send them to meet God.

The old bug had schemed for so long and hidden so deep, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain.

From within the tiny insect, countless drops of slime and rotting, foul-smelling flesh burst forth. Of course, what allowed Sawa to confirm that this thing was his true form was the remnant of its droppings.

The death of the old bug finally brought Sōyū to level 70, and the two Goodwill Crystals and one Karma Crystal it dropped satisfied Sōyū's desire to properly strengthen himself. With level 70 and two Karma Crystals, he could finally consider those bug-level enchantments in the last slot of the Enchanting Table. Just thinking about it made Sōyū grin. He had to admit, the old bug was a really good guy; even in death, it was so generous. Although he still couldn't forgive it for harming a loli, it did do quite a few good things in its death. Satisfied, Sōyū snapped his fingers and looked back at the group of bugs behind him who were now truly without a controller. Without hesitation, he lit a TNT and threw it into them.

The explosion of an INT block ignited the other TNT blocks he had already placed, quickly blasting a huge crater into the ground. The remaining insects were also annihilated in the blast. The ground collapsed once again, but the prepared Zuoyou had already dug a safe passage and rushed towards the surface.

By continuously digging into the blocks above, Zuoyou soon saw the relatively bright sky and the distillery staff who had been waiting for a long time at the Jian Dong family's residence and had sealed off the scene.

He caused such a commotion that it was virtually impossible for the brewery employees not to notice him. Arriving at this time was already considered slow, so Sawa wasn't particularly alarmed.

"Hey everyone. Have you had dinner yet?" Asayu greeted the group of distillery employees who were warily eyeing him with various weapons, as if they were old friends meeting again.

In a sense, they are indeed very familiar with each other.

"So you really couldn't suppress your strange nature after all, and finally targeted ordinary people?"

The leader, Haru, looked at Wakasaya with an indescribable gaze, a gaze that contained both disappointment and, more importantly, a resolute determination to solidify a certain belief.

Saya's previous actions had been constantly challenging Haruyu's views on the supernatural, even shaking his belief that supernatural beings should be eliminated. However, it now seems that he ultimately couldn't resist the nature of the supernatural and has finally begun to harm humans.

"Huh? This head of the Jian Dong family can hardly be considered an ordinary person, or even human." Zuo You scratched his head, gestured to Ruo Qing Jiu to wait a moment, and then dug open a stone house next to him, revealing a black-haired little girl inside who was huddled in a corner, clutching the Ender Pearl he had given her.

"Okay. It's alright now, you're safe."

Once again, Zuoyou gently patted the little girl's head and comforted her softly. He tried to take the Ender Pearl from her hand, but found that she treated it like a precious treasure, holding it tightly in her arms.

"Fine, fine, I'll take you home, okay? Now you should go back, you know? Just treat today's events as a nightmare, and don't think about them again."

Seeing her action, Zuoyou couldn't help but shake his head and could only compromise.

Sakura Tohsaka looked at Saya's pumpkin head and shook her head firmly.
