In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

The laws of fairy tales crush reality.

The swarm of insects crashed into the silver barrier that suddenly appeared in mid-air, as if they had stumbled into an illustration from a fairy tale book—the movements of all the winged beetles froze instantly, their bodies gleaming with a metallic sheen, forcibly "frozen" into lifeless, toy-like objects.

Zang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

What kind of magic trick is this?

He was shocked and surprised.

"Insects should stay in their specimen boxes."

Yuzhu murmured softly, her words filled with undisguised disgust.

The second dress has risen from the shadow of its hem.

"Spin, 'Giant of the Bridge'!"

With a deafening roar, the ceiling of the mansion was ripped open by a giant hand.

The fairytale giant, constructed of rocks and giant trees, is nearly a hundred meters tall and crushes beams and pillars with its sheer size. The rotating gears under its feet shred swarms of insects as thin as paper.

Then, he punched Matou Zouken, who was in the very center!

At this moment, Yuzhu stood motionless, her demonic eyes already blazing with intense light.

At this moment, Qingzi was also startled by the scene.

Looking down at Youzhu, whose long dress was fluttering, Lu Kang couldn't help but think that although the girl didn't show any emotion, she seemed to be angry.

No wonder.

Despite being called a witch, Ayumi's personality is never that of an extreme magician who disregards life.

It's perfectly normal to be angry after hearing his own account of Zouken Matou's actions.

It would be perfectly reasonable for someone to go on a rampage in silence.

To some extent, the scene before us was not something Lu Kang intentionally created.

Rather, it was an action taken under the insistence of Yuzhu.

so-called—

"We can forgo the holy war, but Zouken Matou must die."

Lu Kang spoke leisurely, glancing at Tohsaka Tokiomi beside him, who also looked shocked: "Lord Tohsaka, what do you think of this 'battle'?"

Chapter 175 The Fairy Tale Bird vs. the Millennium Bug: The Torn Ugly Shell

This hardly qualifies as a battle; it was more of a one-sided crushing defeat—a brutal beating.

As the head of the Tohsaka family, a long-time friend of the Matou family, he was naturally aware of the magic called "Mushi" that the Matou family possessed. He also knew better the terror of those densely packed insects—the swarm of "Winged Blade Insects" truly possessed the ability to devour magical power and consume "mysteries".

They are extremely strong individually, and it is said that they can devour a cow in an instant. When they move in dense herds, no matter how mysterious or magical, they will be completely eaten.

However, at this moment, they were forcibly suppressed and slaughtered.

However, what lies before our eyes...

That terrifying swarm of insects seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis.

What else could Tokiomi Tohsaka say?

This level of magic almost surpasses his own phenomenal abilities.

In Tokiomi's memory, even high-level magic, the grand magic that touches upon the essence of phenomena, would find it difficult to achieve this level of understatement—

“But I still don’t understand.” Tokiomi took a deep breath and looked at Lu Kang beside him: “Sir, why did you suddenly take action against the Matou family?”

Don't understand, don't understand.

Because there was no warning.

There was no reason at all.

Neither Luvist, Misérables, nor Sugawara no Hajime had any connection with the Matou family.

It's even more impossible that Lu Kang himself came from a foreign country!

But before Tokiomi could even respond to Lu Kang's words, the scene of the battle below suddenly changed.

As the gigantic fist of the Giant of the Bridge descended upon him with a deafening roar, Zouken Matou, after a brief moment of astonishment, revealed a cold smile on his skeletal face.

He neither dodged nor flinched, as if he had given up.

Just before the fist landed, the withered, short body suddenly disintegrated on its own!

From the buzzing sound, an inconspicuous insect, yet impossible to miss by the mysteriously blessed crowd, flew out and burrowed into the ground.

Boom!

The final fist finally landed, crushing the ground, but it missed its target.

Upon noticing the insect, Tokiomi Tohsaka seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

That is...

"Is this the 'true form' of Zouken Matou, the current head of the Matou family?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka was aware of the Matou family's insect magic, but he didn't take it seriously.

But this situation was still beyond his expectations.

He could accept his daughter becoming a magician who manipulates insects, but he couldn't accept her becoming an insect herself.

"To be precise, that was not the current head of the Matou family, but the first generation of the Matou family—a man named Machiri Zorgen."

Lu Kang slowly opened his mouth and said, "They were the original three people who established the Greater Grail, and they were great magicians who had lived for more than five hundred years."

"Now, as the head of the Matou family, he has lived for more than five hundred years."

"Active since the 16th century."

"What they rely on is precisely this way of transforming themselves into 'markers'."

A way of life that doesn't even qualify as a mere eke out of existence—

This was a fact that shocked Tokiomi Tohsaka even more than the magic that transformed him into an insect.

After his initial shock, he also felt a bit incredulous.

"According to my family records, the head of the Matou family has been a different person in each generation..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tokiomi paused again.

He pondered his own words and came to a more startling, more terrifying realization.

“You’re right,” Lu Kang said, seeing through his thoughts. “They are indeed different people, but they are also the same people.”

"Zouken Matou's essence is that of a mysterious 'Crest Worm'—this kind of worm was originally just a low-ranking familiar used for surveillance, but after Zouken Matou's modification, it can actively absorb the magical power of the human body—he transforms himself into a Crescent Worm, and can even reside in the body of others, thereby constantly controlling and devouring new bodies until he replaces them!"

In other words, each generation's head of the family is nothing more than a person controlled by insects.

Each generation of the family head only has a 'body' but no spirit.

And if we infer from this...

His daughter, who is about to inherit the Matou family crest, won't she also be...

"Damn it!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression was beyond just being cold.

He looked down at the Matou family, making no attempt to hide his murderous intent.

If it weren't for the fierce battle below, Lu Kang felt that Tokiomi Tohsaka himself would probably have jumped down to fight Zouken Matou to the death.

Lu Kang knew even better that Tokiomi Tohsaka had absolutely no chance of fighting Zouken Matou to the death.

Faced with Yuju's 'full-force attack', Matou Zouken will have absolutely no chance.

Even if it can live for so many years, its ability to survive is truly remarkable.

Even before this, Ayumi's fairy tale magic seemed unremarkable.

But that wasn't because she wasn't strong enough, but because the enemies she faced were too outrageous—not to mention Lu Kang, who had accumulated power over many lifetimes, the 'Heavenly Demon' Kichijouin Kihara and Aozaki Touko, who created the puppet city with the 'Principle Blood Ring', each possessed a level of mystery comparable to that of a god.

That is indeed incomparable to any magic derived from the first fragment of magic.

however.

Even against ordinary magicians, Arisu still possesses an undeniable power of dominance.

She is also the pinnacle of magic, whom even Orange herself considers absolutely unbeatable in skirmishes.

Facts have proved that it is true.

Beneath the courtyard floor torn open by the Bridge Giant, a pitch-black cave suddenly appeared, where countless 'maggots' writhed and twisted. Zouken Matou's original body, the Crest Worm, burrowed into it, his flesh and blood assimilated and recombined with the swarm of maggots, and then solidified into a new body a hundred meters away through the gaps—the withered old monster turned around and tried to escape.

Because he no longer possesses a physical body, and thus has lost his familiar, Zouken Matou's true form lacks offensive capabilities.

Also due to the weakness of the Crest Worm itself.

He needs to use the aggregates of insect eggs to move.

But then she saw that Yuzhu had already raised her pale wrist, and the third magical costume was awakening in her palm.

"'Night Feast'... Target locked."

Darkness swallowed all light. Countless phantoms of fairytale creatures emerged from Zouken Matou's nothingness: Puss in Boots snatched the old man's optic nerve from his left eye, a line of tin soldiers pierced his newly regenerated knee, and most fatally, a floating "glass dagger"—a legendary cursed blade capable of severing immortality—pointed directly at the core of his soul.

"Impossible... an 'otherworldly transformation' of this scale?!"

The insect's body began to disintegrate.

He suddenly realized that he was not facing a modern magician, but rather the rampage of "fantasy" itself.

Five hundred years of insect magic seem as laughable as a child's scribbles in the face of this fairytale-like mystery.

Finally, all that could be heard was a cacophony of chirping birds.

A blue robin descended from the sky, snatched the scattered Crest Bug body from the very center, and then swallowed it whole!

The beaded demon eye burned, and his breathing was steady.

The towering bridge giant still stands in place, casting a massive shadow.

The battle has now come to an end.

But the dark witch reached out in an instant—catching the robin that had swallowed the Mark Worm's body, and then grabbed its legs and shook it wildly.

"Spit it out!"

The girl spoke expressionlessly as she swung the object.

My eyes were filled with disgust and revulsion.

Only when the robin flung out the broken-up marking insect and burned it to ashes did Yuzhu breathe a sigh of relief—and then flung the bird far away.

...

Lu Kang: "..."

Therefore, the emotions of the fairy tale witch are quite direct in many ways!

Tokiomi Tohsaka snapped out of his daze and, almost simultaneously, rushed down without hesitation.

"Sakura—"

He stepped toward the area of ​​buildings that were almost completely destroyed and shouted.

Chapter 176 The Girl Saved by Yuuka, Sakura Tohsaka, Just an Ordinary Person

Tokiomi Tohsaka leaped from the dome of the building, his red suit ruffled in the evening breeze. In any case, as the head of the Tohsaka family and a magician who inherited the mystery, he was also a father. Whether he was a good father or not, at least in Tokiomi's own eyes, everything he did was for his daughter's good.

He was aware of this, and under his current worries, he naturally no longer cared about the so-called demeanor of a nobleman and a magician.

But his steps only continued forward after landing, and he stopped after only a few steps.

The rustling of leaves filled the air all around.

Tokiomi Tohsaka looked around and realized that all around him, around the Matou family, were dark shadows standing.
