Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

However, after this experience, Rin Tohsaka also realized just how terrifying Qin Chuan's strength was.

With the opponent offering almost no resistance, she swiftly and decisively killed the other Heroic Spirit and Master, much faster than she had anticipated.

Her understanding of the Holy Grail War came from Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was a cunning old man who planned everything meticulously.

In Tokiomi Tohsaka's mind, a battle that ends in an instant probably doesn't even exist.

"Seriously, is Lancer really dead? Will he come back to life or something?"

"Don't worry, of course not. He died a very thorough death."

Diarmuid's powers had all been absorbed by the Blackbird, so he was definitely dead.

More importantly, Qin Chuan noticed that the synchronization rate of the main storyline had increased.

[Current World: Fate/Zero]

Main Quest: Obtain the Holy Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War

[Player Kobold's strength synchronization status: 17%]

Players are encouraged to progress through the main storyline to unlock synchronized power levels.

After killing Diarmuid, the synchronization rate increased by 12%, which shows that he did indeed advance the progress of the Holy Grail War.

"That's good... So what's next? What's our plan?"

Seeing that Qin Chuan was quite certain of Diarmuid's death, Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Qin Chuan curiously and asked.

She had previously said she would make a plan, but now she's completely following Qin Chuan's plan.

But Rin Tohsaka doesn't seem to dislike this situation; the feeling of watching her Servants sweep through the enemy lines is also a unique kind of thrill.

Although seeing other people's miserable state is a bit too shocking.

"Your next plan? You're not thinking of ending the Holy Grail War tonight, are you?"

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka seemed to be a little addicted, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and reached out to pinch Rin Tohsaka's cheek.

“If nothing unexpected happens, Saber hasn’t arrived in Fuyuki City yet, so it’s unlikely you can finish in one night.”

Although Kiritsugu Emiya has definitely summoned Saber Artoria by now, their group will not arrive in Fuyuki City for several days.

Qin Chuan certainly wouldn't mind resolving the Holy Grail War in one night, but the conditions simply didn't allow it, and he didn't know the exact location of the Einzbern Castle, the "Winter City."

Otherwise, given his abilities, it wouldn't be impossible for him to fly to Germany.

"I see... So, is that the end of today's event?"

Rin Tohsaka seemed to have a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Qin Chuan smiled as he looked at Rin Tohsaka, but he had another plan in mind—but he couldn't let Rin Tohsaka know about it.

After all, his next target is somewhat related to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

While he doesn't need to be too accommodating to Rin Tohsaka, he is currently acting as her Servant, so there's no need for him to fall out with her.

……

"Then I'll go gather intelligence. I'll come back to you when it's time to take action."

After dropping Rin Tohsaka off at home, Qin Chuan continued to use the excuse of "gathering information" to prepare to leave.

Of course, this time he wasn't planning to leave the mission world directly, but rather to go somewhere else.

"Is that so...? Okay, but remember to come and take me with you when you're ready to take action."

Seeing Qin Chuan preparing to leave, Rin Tohsaka seemed a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up and said to Qin Chuan.

Although she was somewhat frightened by what she witnessed, the thrill was truly unparalleled.

I hope he won't corrupt Rin Tohsaka.

Looking at Rin Tohsaka's slightly excited expression, Qin Chuan thought to himself.

……

After leaving Rin Tohsaka's room, Qin Chuan's first stop was the Matou family's house.

Although Qin Chuan had already made a mess of the Matou family's affairs 943 times, he wanted to see where Matou Kariya had gone.

In the original work, Kariya Matou's Servant, Berserker Lancelot, also has some rather interesting abilities.

Although Qin Chuan's class is also Berserker, Rin Tohsaka's summoning was illegal, most likely forced into the game by her own system.

The true Berserker summoned by Matou Kariya should still be around.

However, when Qin Chuan arrived near the Matou residence, he discovered that the Matou family home had been surrounded by a large fence.

There were police warnings on the fence, indicating that the Matou family is currently under police investigation.

It seems that Matou Kariya is no longer at the Matou family. So where could he have gone?

Although Matou Kariya has some money, it shouldn't be much, and he probably wouldn't go to a hotel to book a room.

More importantly, he was a participant in the Holy Grail War, so he would definitely try his best to hide his whereabouts.

Staying in a hotel is something that many people can easily find out with a simple survey, but for Matou Kariya, it was tantamount to putting himself in danger.

The danger of exposing one's location can be seen in the original work, where Kenneth's Hyatt Hotel was directly blown up by Kiritsugu Emiya with a bomb.

"Then it seems there's only one place left."

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

Chapter 117 Now there's only one Berserker left.

In a park in Fuyuki City, a disheveled figure was hiding among the hemispherical climbing frames.

It was Matou Kariya.

"Ha... that old bug, he died so casually, he really ruined my life."

Matou Kariya trembled all over, panting heavily—his skin was covered with a large number of raised, vein-like protrusions that were writhing.

Those weren't blue veins, but rather marking worms hidden deep within his body.

As a loser with little magical talent, he underwent modification by Zouken Matou in order to participate in the Holy Grail War.

He replaced his own magic circuits with a large number of Crest Worms, and generated magic power by feeding the Crest Worms with his life.

This method of shortening his lifespan was the only way for him to gain enough power in a short period of time, and he did indeed use this opportunity to qualify for the Holy Grail War.

However, the price he pays is that he is now tormented by the appetite of the Crest Worms every moment.

What troubled him even more was that Zouken Matou had died, which caused the Crest Worms inside his body to become restless.

In Matou Kariya's heart, Matou Zouken was certainly not a good person. If Tohsaka Tokiomi was the person he hated the most, then Matou Zouken would be second.

But... even if he's going to die, shouldn't he wait until the Holy Grail War is over? If he dies now, how is he supposed to fight the Holy Grail War?

He participated in the Holy Grail War for two reasons: first, to save Matou Sakura, and second, to seek revenge against Tokiomi Tohsaka.

But now, he can't even go back to the Matou family, let alone take any further action.

Just as he was gritting his teeth and enduring the torment of the Crest Worms in his body, and thinking about how to torture Tokiomi Tohsaka, he suddenly felt a light in his eyes.

Many parks in Japan have these hemispherical climbing frames, which have a small space inside that provides a shield.

Now, Matou Kariya saw that the hemispherical climbing frame where he was hiding had been forcibly lifted up from the outside.

The shadow that had been hanging over Matou Kariya dissipated, and he naturally felt that his surroundings had become brighter.

Although it was night, the moonlight and streetlights still provided light.

"Found you, Matou Kariya, right?"

It was Qin Chuan who lifted the hemispherical climbing frame. He lifted the recreational facility, which should have been quite heavy, as easily as lifting a piece of paper.

The figure hidden beneath the hemisphere, Matou Kariya, was revealed, his face filled with astonishment.

The reason why we can be sure that Kariya Matou is here is simple: Aoi Tohsaka used to often bring her two daughters here to play.

Kariya Matou often saw Aoi Tohsaka and the two little sisters here.

For Matou Kariya, this place is filled with memories—it's quite normal for a simp like Matou Kariya to hide here.

"who!?"

Although Matou Kariya is a simp, he is still intelligent. Seeing Qin Chuan lift a heavy park structure so easily, he naturally knows that the other party is not a normal person.

He took a step back, enduring the pain in his body, and shouted.

"Berserker!"

"Roar--!"

A deep roar sounded from beside him, and a knight clad in jet-black armor appeared next to Matou Kariya, his body shrouded in a thick black mist.

This is Lancelot, Matou Kariya's Servant, the guy who cuckolded King Arthur in the Arthurian legend.

Unfortunately, Saber, who is King Arthur, is not here now.

"As expected, the Heroic Spirit has been summoned."

Upon seeing Lancelot appear, Qin Chuan nodded—he knew that even if Zouken Matou died, Kariya Matou would not give up the Holy Grail War.

Because the Crest Worm was actually implanted in his body, even if he didn't participate in the Holy Grail War, he wouldn't live much longer.

"Are you... also a Heroic Spirit?"

Matou Kariya's expression was rather grim—hearing Qin Chuan utter the word "Heroic Spirit," he knew things were in serious trouble.

Those who can say such things are, of course, participants in the Holy Grail War.

Qin Chuan just displayed considerable power, so the opponent is very likely also a Heroic Spirit.

"Of course, I am a Berserker too."

Qin Chuan nodded, his gaze falling on Lancelot standing next to Matou Kariya.

However, although he was telling the truth, Matou Kariya showed a disbelieving expression.

Are you kidding me? You don't look like you're in a berserk state at all.

“Strictly speaking, I should be considered your benefactor.”

As Qin Chuan spoke, he thought of how he had rescued Matou Sakura and killed Matou Zouken, and laughed.

"Didn't you want to save Sakura and kill Zouken Matou? I've done it all for you, shouldn't you kowtow to me?"

"you……"

Zouken Matou was stunned. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was the one who had killed Zouken Matou.

Moreover, after learning about the incident involving the Matou family, he went to look for Matou Sakura, but he couldn't find her. He even suspected that Matou Sakura had perished.

Logically speaking, Matou Kariya should be happy to have killed Zouken Matou and rescued Sakura Matou, but... a sense of fear welled up inside him.

To put it bluntly, he wasn't the one who killed Zouken Matou, nor was he the one who rescued Sakura Matou. This feeling almost suffocated him.

Kariya Matou secretly hopes to become a hero who can save Aoi Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Matou. His hatred for Tokiomi Tohsaka stems from intense jealousy.

Qin Chuan's actions did not evoke gratitude in him; instead, they stirred up resentment within him.

"It seems there's nothing more to say."

Qin Chuan said all this mainly to see if Matou Kariya could give an interesting response.

Unfortunately, Matou Kariya's mental state seems to have become somewhat unstable, perhaps due to the torment caused by the Crest Worms.

His reaction to Qin Chuan's speech was stiff, as if he hadn't been able to recover from the information for a while.

"In that case..."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan didn't bother with any more words. He flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lancelot.

Before Lancelot could react, he threw a punch!

boom!

A deafening roar echoed through the night sky as Qin Chuan's fist, carrying an irresistible force, slammed into Lancelot's armor in an instant.

Qin Chuan held back, after all, he still planned to let the black bird devour Lancelot's power, and it wouldn't do if he beat Lancelot to the point of leaving not even a trace.

Therefore, as Qin Chuan threw a punch, the park ground shattered, and swings, slides, and other equipment were broken by the spreading impact, falling to the ground in disarray with a chaotic clatter.
