This second dimension is too immortal

It wasn't over yet. Following closely behind the door was a raging, scorching flame that instantly poured into the cellar like a tide.

"!!"

Seeing this, Matou Zouken's face changed drastically. In a hurry, he only had time to construct a few magical defenses before being engulfed by the flames.

At the same time, the boundless sea of ​​insects under the cellar was directly swept by the flames, and crisp sounds like beans bursting were heard.

Without the control of their master, and facing the flames that naturally restrained them, these insects could only flee everywhere. However, the space in the cellar was not big, and the exit had long been occupied by the flames. How could they escape?

It didn't take long before the massive swarm of insects was burned to ashes by the sudden influx of flames, leaving no trace.

Down in the cellar, after Sakura Matou closed her eyes, she thought that in the next second she would feel the horrible sensation of insects crawling on her body.

But it didn't happen. On the contrary, after a loud noise, there was warmth that could be felt all over the body.

Under the influence of this warmth, Sakura felt as if she was trapped in a warm embrace.

The previous panic, fear, anxiety and despair slowly calmed down under this warm comfort.

Woo...good, so warm...

Did someone come to rescue Sakura?

The noise around gradually calmed down, the flames dissipated, and the cellar that had been cleared by the flames felt much brighter at this moment. The oil lamps hanging around were not burned in the flames just now, and were now emitting bright lights, illuminating the entire cellar clearly.

Sakura cautiously opened her eyes and looked around in confusion.

Compared to before, the cellar in front of her was completely different. Sakura, who was deep down, could see the environment above clearly.

Sakura looked around and suddenly her gaze paused. A different "thing" appeared in her sight.

Above the cellar, a round ball of light glowed dimly.

"Crack!"

Just as I was curious about what was in front of me, I heard a crisp sound, and cracks appeared on the surface of the sphere. Then with a "bang", the protection formed by the magic power shattered.

"puff!"

Matou Zouken fell to his knees, white smoke coming out of his body.

"Grandpa...Grandpa..."

Seeing that it was Matou Zouken, Sakura instantly shrank back in fear like a frightened deer.

She will never forget what Zouken Matou did just now. Now in her heart, Zouken Matou has become synonymous with fear.

Even with what Tōsaka Tokiomi had said before, Sakura already had a deep fear of the so-called grandfather in front of her.

"Ahem... ahem... Sakura..."

Covering his chest, Matou Zouken coughed violently a few times. Just as he was about to say something, his face changed and he looked towards the door.

"Yes, the air is much fresher. Otherwise, I really wouldn't want to come in. It's disgusting."

As a voice with a hint of laughter sounded in the cellar, Zhao Si walked to the cellar door in a few steps.

At first glance, Zhao Si saw the disgusting face of Matou Zouken, which was full of vigilance and doubt.

Then, Zhao Si shifted his gaze and saw the purple-haired girl who was lying at the bottom of the cellar, staring at him in a daze.

There were two clearly visible tear marks on the girl's cheeks, her eyes were red, and there were obvious signs of friction on several parts of her clothes.

But fortunately, apart from this, there was nothing else wrong with the girl. This also means that Zouken Matou has not yet attacked Sakura Matou, or he was about to attack her but was interrupted by himself and failed.

Anyway, things are going well.

Thinking of this, Zhao Si smiled at Matou Sakura, then turned to look at Matou Zōken.

Looking at Zhao Si's smile, Xiaoying felt that this big brother who suddenly appeared in front of her had an inexplicable magic that made her feel at ease, and the fear she had felt because of Matou Zouken began to slowly recover.

"It's you?!"

Matou Zouken looked at Zhao Si warily, with a hint of surprise and doubt in his tiny pupils that were sparkling with brilliance.

Ever since Zhao Si appeared, Matou Zouken has been observing this guy who ruined his good deeds.

At first, Zang Yan was a little confused because he didn't know the young man in front of him who looked to be around twenty years old at most, and it was even more impossible for him to make an enemy of him.

The other party appeared inexplicably and inexplicably destroyed his own arrangements.

From the very beginning, he was coming towards me with a clear goal.

Afterwards, this strange yet familiar feeling reminded Zouken Matou of the several inexplicable assassination attempts he had suffered before. In an instant, Zouken Matou guessed Zhao Si's identity.

But even though he knew that the other party was the one who had assassinated him before, Zang Yan still knew nothing about Zhao Si.

Why did the other party want to assassinate him? And why did he reveal himself this time?

All of this seemed like dangerous signals, constantly ringing in Zang Yan's mind.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhao Si looked at Zang Yan in surprise. Zhao Si had not shown up on the previous occasions and had directly "killed" Zang Yan.

I didn't expect that the first time I showed up in front of him, he was certain that I was the one who killed him before.

But none of this matters anymore. The Holy Grail War is approaching, and as a heroic spirit, he will sooner or later appear in the sight of all parties.

"Old bug, stop talking nonsense. I'm here to kill you and take this child away with me."

As he spoke, Zhao Si pointed at Sakura Matou below.

"Take Sakura away?"

Upon hearing this, Matou Zouken frowned.

As the descendants of the Matou family are dying out, and seeing that the few people now have little talent in magic, Matou Zouken has no choice but to set his sights on the daughter of the Tohsaka family.

I didn't expect that the other party was also coming for Sakura?

"Take...Sakura?"

Sakura below was stunned when she heard this, looked up at Zhao Si, then looked at Matou Zouken, then lowered her head, thoughts surging in her mind.

Compared to Zouken Matou, who had a terrifying appearance and had given him that kind of terrifying experience not long ago.

This newly appeared young older brother was simply another extreme. Although they had just met and hadn't even communicated yet, Sakura felt a sense of security from him.

Comparing the two, any normal person would know which side to lean towards.

Sakura lowered her head, hugged her body, and said in a voice that only she could hear:

"Take Sakura away, save Sakura..."

His ears moved, and Xiaoying's murmurs came into Zhao Si's ears.

Really? Then it’s as you wish.

Zhao Si fixed his eyes on Zang Yan and prepared to take action.

"...I don't know who you are, but you should know that Tousaka Sakura has been adopted into my Matou family. She is now called Matou Sakura, the daughter of my Matou family."

"As an outsider, you have no right to interfere in the family affairs of my Matou family, right?" Matou Zouken said with a frown.

He really didn't want to fight with Zhao Si because he couldn't beat him at all. When the other party didn't show up, he could kill him again and again.

If it weren't for his many tricks, he would have died long ago.

"Qualifications? Hey!"

In response to Matou Zouken's words, Zhao Si just chuckled.

"What kind of bullshit qualifications are these? Do I need your permission, old man, to do anything I want?"

As he spoke, flames suddenly flared up in Zhao Si's palm.

"Do you have the ability to talk to me about your qualifications? Matou Zouken!"

"call!!"

As he spoke, flames surged, and the flames surging around Zhao Si turned into a huge fire dragon, rolling directly towards Matou Zouken who was right in front of him.

"you!!"

Matou Zouken's face changed drastically. He never thought that this person would attack him, a centuries-old old bug, just because of a disagreement.

At such a close distance, Zouken Matou had no time to dodge, not to mention that the sturdy fire dragon almost filled the cellar, leaving no room to hide.

"Ahhhhh!!"

In the raging flames, Matou Zouken let out miserable cries.

On his body, as the flames burned, wisps of black "mist" fell to the ground and were completely swallowed up by the flames.

"Bang!!"

Suddenly, his whole body exploded and turned into a swarm of black insects. The swarm of insects kept rushing towards the outside of the flames, trying to escape from this place.

"Want to run?"

Zhao Si's eyes focused. The previous few times when Zhao Si did not show up, he killed him with one sword, but it was obvious that this could not kill the old thing, so this time Zhao Si planned to burn him to death with fire.

Controlling the flames, he surrounded the swarm of insects, while Zhao Si himself stood at the only way out of the cellar.

Today, no insect can get out of here. Zhao Si doesn’t believe that he can’t be killed like this.

“Pah-pah-pah!!”

The swarm of insects was constantly being burned, making an exploding sound like frying beans, and a burnt smell spread.

Suddenly, Zhao Si paused in his movements, and raised his other hand, aiming at Xiaoying below.

"boom!"

The flames rose, and a flame shield ignited around Sakura. Suddenly, a "sizzling" sound was heard, and Sakura was shocked when she saw it.

"Old man, even in this state, you still want to do these little tricks under my nose. Do you look down on me?"

As he spoke, Zhao Si suddenly increased the firepower, and the waves of flames directly submerged the struggling insect swarm.

"Ahhhhh!!"

In the flames, Zouken Matou's desperate screams rang out, but this could not change the current situation at all.

Not long after, Matou Zouken's screams gradually subsided. After Zhao Si continued to burn for a while, he waved his hand and the flames burning in the cellar suddenly disappeared.

Looking up, there was no trace of Matou Zouken where the insect swarm had originally been, not even the shadow of a cresting insect. Only a small amount of black powder remained.

"I'm going to die this time, right?"

Zhao Si looked at the powder, clapped his hands and said.

He no longer paid attention to the problem of Matou Zouken. If this old bastard was still alive, it would be considered that he was very powerful. Zhao Si had no other choice.

After going down the cellar, Zhao Si came to Sakura Matou.

Sakura Matou looked at Zhao Si who came to her side, with a bit of curiosity and gratitude in her timid big eyes.

"Matou Sakura?"

Zhao Si looked at her, reached out and touched her purple hair, and asked softly.

"Yes... yes... I am... Matou Sakura..."

Seeing Zhao Si reaching out his hand, Xiaoying wanted to dodge away reflexively, but she stopped just as she was about to move. She lowered her head and silently felt the comfort given by the broad palm on her head.

"Little guy, I heard what you just said."

Zhao Si squatted down, looked directly into Xiaoying's purple eyes, and said softly:

"So, do you want to leave here with me?"

Xiaoying blinked and looked at Zhao Si with her bright eyes. After a while, she nodded and uttered a voice with a slight nasal tone.

"Um.."

Hearing this, Zhao Si smiled, stood up, stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Xiaoying.

"Let's go, let's get out of here."

"...Um!"

Looking at the large palm in front of her, Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly placed her hand in Zhao Si's hand.

Zhao Si clenched his big hand and held Ying's small hand.

A real and powerful touch came. Xiaoying looked at the two people's hands clasped together, pursed her lips, and silently tightened the palm held by Zhao Si.
