He has a dream, he wants to be a partner of justice.

But reality is often cruel. He who dreams of becoming a partner of justice first kills his crazy magician father with his own hands, and then kills his adoptive mother who taught him his skills.

He dreamed of being with justice, but was forced to be covered in blood. He still lives with sin, like a joke.

In order to end the evil in the world, to wash away his own blood, to become a partner of justice, and even more to redeem himself and the whole world, Kiritsugu Emiya chose to participate in a war, the Holy Grail War.

There are all kinds of mysteries in this world, and there are also people who control all kinds of mysteries, they are called magicians. Emiya Kiritsugu is a magician, although he has long been a heretic in the world of magicians because of his unscrupulous killing. But it is true that Emiya Kiritsugu is a magician.

The reason why these people who control the mysteries are called magicians instead of magicians is because magic is an extremely mysterious thing in this world. It can be called the mystery among mysteries, the unknown among unknowns, and it is the existence that reigns at the top of the mysterious world.

There are only five known magics in this world. Only those who can master them can be called magicians in the mysterious world. The Holy Grail War is related to the third magic among the several major magics, the materialization of the soul.

Through the third method, the magic ritual of the Holy Grail War, one can summon the Holy Grail, which can theoretically fulfill all wishes. This is exactly what Kiritsugu Emiya has been begging for. With it, Kiritsugu Emiya can realize his wish, complete the salvation of all mankind, and become a true partner of justice!

Of course, as a self-made magician, Emiya Kiritsugu theoretically should not know about the Holy Grail War. The reason why he was able to participate in this Holy Grail War was ultimately because of one person.

Irisviel von Einzbern.

One of the three great families of the Holy Grail War, the head of the Einzbern family.

As a cyborg, she is an outlier in the Einzbern family. Soon after being created as the Lesser Holy Grail, Irisviel awakened her self-awareness. After awakening, she relied on her amazing strength to purge all opponents in the Einzbern family, and relied on absolute violence to become the patriarch of the ancient Einzbern family.

After becoming the head of the clan, Irisviel found Emiya Kiritsugu again, explained the Holy Grail War to him, and asked for cooperation. Because Irisviel, as the Lesser Holy Grail, would receive the souls of the defeated heroes in the Holy Grail War, and gradually lose her ability to act, Irisviel wanted Emiya Kiritsugu to represent the Einzbern family in this Holy Grail War.

The two agreed that after the victory of the Holy Grail War, Irisviel, as the Lesser Holy Grail, would go to the source, and Emiya Kiritsugu, as the Master, would gain the power to make wishes. The two of them each got what they needed, and it was a pure cooperative relationship.

Both Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu were aware of this.

Shortly after confirming her participation in the Holy Grail War, Irisviel, as the leader of the Einzbern clan, once again found Kiritsugu Emiya and told him about the Holy Grail Summoning.

The so-called Holy Grail War is a war between seven masters selected by the Holy Grail and the seven heroic spirits they summoned. Although this war seems to involve only a dozen people, the heroic spirits that are the crystallization of human civilization have terrible power that ordinary humans can hardly imagine.

The combat power of ordinary Heroic Spirits is enough to rival an elite army, and Heroic Spirits of extraordinary level can even influence the current situation in the world. With such powerful combat power, even if there are only a dozen participants in the Holy Grail War, it is definitely a war in terms of its scale.

It is also because of the powerful fighting power of the Heroic Spirits that in the Holy Grail War, the status and strength of the Heroic Spirits often determine the victory. The higher the status and strength of the Heroic Spirits, the higher the chance of winning the Holy Grail War. Therefore, the summoning of Heroic Spirits is definitely the most critical and important thing in the Holy Grail War. The summoning of Heroic Spirits often determines the victory or defeat of a Holy Grail War.

"For this Holy Grail War, we, Einzbern, are going to summon a powerful Heroic Spirit. She will definitely help us take back the Holy Grail."

In front of Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel, with long white hair and an elegant smile on her face, looked at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"A powerful heroic spirit?"

After hearing Irisviel's description, Emiya Kiritsugu was not very excited.

Because as a magician killer, he feels that compared to powerful weapons, the best weapons are the ones that are handy.

Irisviel also noticed Emiya Kiritsugu's thoughts and continued:

“Kiritsugu, I know you were called the magician killer before, and I also know you have killed countless powerful magicians before. But I want to tell you that the Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War are completely different from ordinary magicians. Their strength is far beyond your imagination. Even the weakest Heroic Spirit is fully capable of slaughtering most magicians. You must remember this.”

“So when it comes to summoning Heroic Spirits, strength is more important than suitability. Because a strong Heroic Spirit is enough to crush everything, and a weak Heroic Spirit, no matter how obedient it is, will only be ruthlessly crushed by the strong!”

"Yes, I understand." Emiya Kiritsugu responded.

Seeing that Emiya Kiritsugu agreed with her statement, Irisviel nodded with relief. Then she took out a box and said:

“This is the scabbard of the legendary King Arthur’s sword. It is a holy relic that I carefully prepared. Kiritsugu, use it to summon the heroic spirits that you will command in this Holy Grail War.”

what?

King Arthur's scabbard?

Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu knew what Irisviel was thinking. She wanted to summon the legendary King Arthur herself!

As the most famous hero in Celtic mythology, King Arthur is undoubtedly a top-level hero in terms of both popularity and strength. He is the kind of being that can secure most of the victory in the Holy Grail War as long as he is summoned.

But Emiya Kiritsugu didn't like the legendary King Arthur at all. It was because the legendary King Arthur was a wise king who was honest and upright to the extreme, while he was just an assassin who used all means in the dark.

The difference between the two is like the sun and the abyss, a complete opposition and irreconcilable. He can be said to be the Heroic Spirit with the worst compatibility with himself.

So even if Kiritsugu Emiya could summon a powerful Heroic Spirit with this holy relic, Kiritsugu Emiya still didn't want to summon King Arthur, and didn't even want to work with him.

But Lisviel didn't care about the helplessness on Emiya Kiritsugu's face, because in her opinion, King Arthur was the Heroic Spirit with the best compatibility with Emiya Kiritsugu. The reason why the two of them looked down on each other was that they had too many similarities.

Many times, people of the same kind are the most likely to be hostile to each other!

……

Watching Emiya Kiritsugu's departing back, Irisviel shook her head helplessly. As a person whose soul had merged with Uchiha Izumi's in this world, she didn't want to have anything to do with Emiya Kiritsugu, even though this man was supposed to be her destined husband.

But her time travel made Type-Moon's inhibitions instinctively alert, so that the time, space and cause and effect of the entire world were distorted, greatly limiting Irisviel's ability to act, so she had no choice but to cooperate with Emiya Kiritsugu.

Of course, as a time traveler, Irisviel did not marry Emiya Kiritsugu. But even so, there is still a child named Illya in this world. Illya in this world is not her own daughter. She is a man-made person of the Einzbern family like Irisviel, and is the product of Irisviel's experiments when she was studying the magic of the Einzbern family.

Perhaps it was a coincidence of fate, or perhaps it was inevitable in history, but when Irisviel was studying magic, she accidentally mixed her blood with that of Emiya Kiritsugu, and thus Illya was created. So theoretically, Illya in this world is still her and Emiya Kiritsugu's child, even though there is no love between her and Emiya Kiritsugu in this world.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I would become a mother!"

Irisviel sighed like this, and turned to think about the Holy Grail War.

Originally, in Irisviel's plan, no matter who the winner of this Holy Grail War was, she, as the Lesser Holy Grail, would be able to successfully reach the source.

But who could blame me for my crossing? It aroused the vigilance of the Inhibition Force. Feeling the threat of my soul from another world to this world, the Inhibition Force used all means to reverse the cause and effect of this world, trying to expel me. In the end, it failed, and some beings actually knew about the Holy Grail War.

For example, the beast inside Irisviel wanted to control her body and participate in the Holy Grail War as Irisviel. However, facing Irisviel's soul that transcended the world, it could only be bound inside Irisviel and eroded by her soul.

Because of the beast's restraint, Irisviel was unable to directly participate in this Holy Grail War and could only rely on Emiya Kiritsugu's power. As for the true identity of the beast in Irisviel's body, it is one of the seven great human evils in this world, the crown beast that symbolizes human sin and desire, and is defined as the 666 beast with the power to kill.

It was attracted by Kiritsugu Emiya's ideal of both justice and injustice, and wanted to attach itself to Irisviel, whose fate was entangled with Kiritsugu Emiya's, so as to seduce Kiritsugu Emiya to take a more extreme path of killing to save the world. However, it did not expect that as a time traveler, Irisviel's soul status was far above it, so it was bound by Irisviel in turn.

In addition to the 666 beast in Irisviel's body, other evil beasts from humans also participated in this Holy Grail War. The reason they intervened in this Holy Grail War was a famous organization in the Type-Moon world, Chaldea!

Because of the distorted cause and effect of the restraining force, these evil humans all knew that in this Holy Grail War, Malisbili, the founder of Chaldea, would win the final victory and create Chaldea based on this victory. As the main opponent of Chaldea in the future, these evil humans naturally would not watch their future enemy being created by Malisbili.

Therefore, before the Holy Grail War began, these evil humans participated in the Holy Grail War through various means, hoping to prevent Malisbili from winning the Holy Grail War and thus prevent the birth of Chaldea.

"I wonder what kind of human villains will appear in this Holy Grail War?"

While Irisviel was thinking this, someone came to the Einzbern Castle. Her name was Hisau Maiya, and she was Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant. In order to prepare for the Holy Grail War, she had been collecting intelligence in Fuyuki City in the Far East. Now she returned to the Einzbern Castle to report the situation in Fuyuki City to Kiritsugu Emiya.

“Maiya, what’s the situation in Fuyuki City?”

Emiya Kiritsugu asked calmly, looking at his expressionless assistant.

"The Tōsaka family and the Holy Church are very close, and there should be a trend of unity. The Matou family has been quiet recently, and perhaps Matou Zouken has really given up this Holy Grail War as previously speculated. Also, it seems that someone from the Clock Tower has come to Fuyuki City. The person's magic level is very high, and the tracking equipment is of no use at all."

The clock tower?

It seems that just as Ellie had speculated before, the magicians of the Magic Holy Land are preparing to participate in this Holy Grail War! I wonder if it will be Kenneth or Malis Billy who will come this time...

After thinking for a moment, Emiya Kiritsugu asked again:

"What about Matou Sakura? Is there anything unusual about that little girl?"

"Matou Sakura? When the little girl was first sent to the Matou family by her father, she was dejected and looked unhappy. But after a while, she seemed to have recovered. Every day when she went to school, she had a happy smile on her face and greeted her sister, Tousaka Rin, from time to time. She seemed no different from before."

What, recovered?

Upon hearing this news, Emiya Kiritsugu frowned and thought:

Impossible! According to the information provided by Aili, the magic of the Matou family is very bloody and cruel insect magic. And I have also investigated the underground magic network of Fuyuki City. The Matou family has been buying living people through various means to use for bloody magic. As a standard magician, how could such a cruel Matou Zouken treat Matou Sakura well?

Noticing the expression on Emiya Kiritsugu's face, Hisau Maiya asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this little girl? Even if Matou Zouken is a standard magician, he won't attack this little girl before Matou Sakura grows up! After all, at her current age, it would be a complete waste to overdevelop Matou Sakura's magical talent."

As Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant, Hisau Maiya naturally knew what kind of people the so-called magicians were. It could be said that among the magicians in this world, at least five out of ten were murderers who deserved to die, at least three out of five murderers who deserved to die were butchers with deep sins, and at least one out of three butchers with deep sins was a frenzied monster.

Although Zouken Matou in the anime is disgusting, his level of evil is just mediocre in the world of magicians. In the career of Hisau Maiya alone, there are more than a dozen magicians who have conducted human experiments and indirectly killed more than a hundred people. There is even a magician who directly joined forces with the local warlord and was prepared to use tens of thousands of lives to complete his experiment to find the root cause.

Fortunately, before the experiment began, Kiritsugu Emiya fired an Origin Bullet to kill this top student from the Clock Tower, otherwise who knows how many people would have died at the hands of the other party!

This is the magician's world, bloody, horrible and inhumane.

But at the same time, the magician is calm, objective, and willing to give everything for the root cause.

No matter how cruel a magician is, when faced with a girl with such excellent talent as Matou Sakura, he will carefully train her and let her inherit his magic and ideals.

Perhaps the way of inheritance is different. For example, most magicians would choose to inject their brain into Matou Sakura's body and take over her body. But no excellent magician would do heavy things to Matou Sakura before she grows up. This is not because the magician is kind, but purely because such behavior will affect the efficiency of the magician in tracing the root cause.

"But Matou Zouken is different from a real magus." Emiya Kiritsugu said:

"He was never a true magus, and later on, he became a monster who only knew how to survive under the corrosion of time. It is impossible for him to cultivate Sakura Matou for the sake of the root. He will only choose to use his magic to transform Sakura Matou immediately and make her the host of his insect body."

Chapter 192: Demon Luo

Fuyuki City, in the basement of Matou's house.

Matou Sakura, who was still very young, had a happy smile on her face. That smile seemed so twisted and weird in the deep underground that Matou Kariya, who was standing beside her, felt no happiness at all from that smile, only extreme joy.

It's like a god or demon high above, looking down on all living beings.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Matou Sakura like this, Matou Kariya asked with a vigilant look on his face.

Matou Kariya was a member of the Matou family, but he parted ways with the family early on. The reason he returned home this time was because he heard that Matou Sakura's father, Tōsaka Tokiomi, had handed Matou Sakura over to Matou Zouken.

As a childhood friend of Matou Sakura's mother, Tosaka Aoi, Matou Kariya cannot tolerate Tosaka Tokiomi's behavior. Because compared to Tosaka Tokiomi, Matou Kariya knows more about the cruelty of the magician world. He knows that if Matou Sakura is handed over to a madman like Matou Zouken, the result will be endless abuse.

So Matou Kariya returned to the Matou residence. He wanted to participate in this Holy Grail War as the representative of the Matou family, and then exchange the Holy Grail for Matou Sakura's freedom. However, the development of things seemed to be beyond Matou Kariya's expectations. When Matou Kariya returned home, what appeared in front of him was a monster occupying Matou Sakura's body.

In response to his questioning, the monster occupying Matou Sakura chuckled and said:

“Uncle Kariya, you are amazing! That little bug Matou Zouken has lived for hundreds of years, and he doesn’t even dare to say a word in front of me. You are not even a magician, but you can challenge my majesty with your own will. You are really interesting!”

"Stop talking nonsense and return Sakura's body to her immediately!" Matou Kariya shouted angrily.

Facing Matou Kariya's roar, the monster just smiled strangely and was not moved at all. After Matou Kariya's emotions calmed down a little, she gently shook Matou Sakura's small body and said:

“In fact, I don’t really value this brat’s body. If you really want it, it’s not a big deal to give it back to you. But the Holy Grail War is about to break out. As one of the three major families in the Holy Grail War, the Matou family must have someone participate.”

Hearing this, Matou Kariya suddenly realized:

"I see. Your goal is also the Holy Grail?"

"The Holy Grail?"

As if it had heard some terrible joke, the monster's face was full of mocking smiles:

“As the beast of sin that controls lust, you don’t think I would be interested in something like the Holy Grail, do you? There is only one reason why I am intervening in the Holy Grail War this time, and that is Chaldea!”

"Chaldea? What is that?" Matou Kariya asked in confusion.

"That is the Human Rights Protection Agency of the future. You should just regard it as an organization that protects human civilization. At the same time, this organization is also our enemy. In order to make Chaldea disappear completely, the enemies of future Chaldea, including me, have united and want to make Chaldea disappear completely by changing history."

With the help of Matou Sakura's mouth, the monster explained:

"For this reason, we first intervened in the Third Holy Grail War of this time and space, and guided the Einzbern family to pollute the Holy Grail with the evil of this world. However, we did not expect that even with the Holy Grail polluted, history would not change, and Chaldea would still be created after the Fifth Holy Grail War."

"Seeing this, we decided to personally descend upon the Fourth Holy Grail War, use the evil of this world stored in the Holy Grail system to shape our bodies, and completely destroy the human order of this time and space, ensuring that Chaldea will not appear in the future!"

Matou Kariya didn't know what the so-called human reason was. But from the description of the monster, he also knew that Chaldea should be a positive organization, and the existence possessed by Matou Sakura was obviously an evil villain. From the perspective of good and evil, Matou Kariya should come forward to stop the monsters' actions. But seeing that his childhood sweetheart had become a monster's puppet, Matou Kariya still said:

"In that case, I will participate in this Holy Grail War!"

“That’s right, Uncle Kariya.”

The monster used Sakura Matou's body and nodded with satisfaction, then looked around the basement with a mischievous look on its face, as if looking for some interesting toys.

"Where's Grandpa? Where did Grandpa go? Why is Grandpa hiding in the basement again? He can't get any sunlight. This is not good."

Controlling Matou Sakura's body, the monster carefully searched the basement, and soon found the figure hiding in the shadows. Seeing that the monster seemed to be about to ravage Matou Zouken again, Matou Kariya couldn't help but think of the scene when the monster just arrived.

A month ago, Matou Sakura was sent to the Matou family by the bastard Tosaka Tokiomi. The old man Matou Zouken wanted to throw Sakura into the insect hole for transformation. In extreme fear, Matou Sakura's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and eventually the monster found a gap and took away her body.

Compared to Matou Sakura, this guy named Moro was just a lunatic. She was not afraid of the bugs in the worm hole, but laughed excitedly. Then, for some unknown reason, the bugs in the worm hole betrayed the old man and began to torture him in various ways under the control of Moro.

In the following time, the old man Matou Zouken was abused. Moro used various tortures to cut the imprint worm that hosted the old man's soul, twisted his soul and memory at will, and threw the old man's soul into a female imprint worm, and then threw the female worm into the worm hole of a male worm in estrus...

As he thought about this, Matou Kariya saw Mara beside him carefully caressing Matou Zouken's face and whispering in his ear:

"Grandpa, let me tell you some good news! The first good news is that after this Holy Grail War is over, I will leave this world and never come back!"

Upon hearing the news, the eyes of Matou Zouken, who was on the verge of collapse, immediately lit up.

This little ancestor is finally leaving!

"The second good news is that as a reward for Grandpa playing with me all the time, I will give you what you want most in the person of the Beast of Original Sin, immortality!"

Hearing this, the gleam in Matou Zouken's eyes was no longer gleaming, but was ignited with the flame of hope.

He suddenly felt that the torture he had suffered before was nothing.
