Where Lancelot had stood, only fragments remained, their origins almost indistinguishable.
Chapter 118 Being a Simp is Really Awesome
Matou Kariya was completely terrified. Although he had guessed that Qin Chuan was a Heroic Spirit, he had not expected that Qin Chuan's strength would reach such a level.
By the time he realized the problem, Qin Chuan had already finished and called it a day—Matou Kariya's Berserker Lancelot had completely disappeared.
Where Kariya Matou couldn't see, the black bird grabbed the remaining fragments of Lancelot and swallowed them into the shadows.
Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, "A Knight Never Dies Barehanded," which he possessed as Berserker, also fell into Blackbird's hands.
Moreover, if Qin Chuan were willing, he could also summon Lancelot's weapon, "Indestructible Lake Light".
"I'd say it's a dessert."
After letting the blackbird absorb Lancelot's abilities, Qin Chuan nodded—these abilities didn't significantly improve his combat power at the moment, but who knows when they might come in handy.
Generally speaking, it's best to specialize in a skill rather than learn many. However, since Qin Chuan doesn't need to spend time learning these abilities, naturally the more the better.
If it would take a lot of his precious time to learn these abilities, then Qin Chuan would definitely be too lazy to do it.
Of course, the main course is still Gilgamesh as Archer, who is probably the most significant target in this mission world besides "Berserk Mode".
At least the "King's Treasure 617" has a lot of items, which can help Qin Chuan solve many inconveniences that cannot be solved by brute force alone.
"Wait! Hold on a minute!"
Seeing Qin Chuan easily kill Lancelot and destroy all of Lancelot's fragments using unknown methods, Matou Kariya became anxious.
Seeing that Qin Chuan seemed to be preparing to leave, he rushed over and grabbed Qin Chuan's leg.
However, it was already quite difficult for his broken body to suddenly unleash its power to sprint, so how could it possibly hold back Qin Chuan's pace?
Qin Chuan walked a few steps while still being draped over Matou Kariya's lap, dragging Matou Kariya face-first into the mud.
Seeing that Matou Kariya seemed to have no intention of letting go, Qin Chuan stopped and glared at Kariya, who was still clinging to his leg.
"What else do you want to do? Are you so eager to die?"
The reason they didn't kill Matou Kariya was partly because they didn't want to dirty their hands, and partly because Matou Kariya didn't have many days left to live anyway.
The lifespan of Matou Kariya was already drastically shortened due to the constant devouring of life force by the Crest Worms. In addition, the death of Matou Zouken made the Crest Worms in his body even more irritable.
It's estimated that in just a few days, Matou Kariya will be devoured alive by the Crest Worms inside him, draining his life force.
Qin Chuan was disgusted by the worms that burst out of this guy's body after he smashed it, so he let him fend for himself. But he didn't expect that the guy would stick to him like this.
"Sakura, how is Sakura? Where is she now?"
Matou Kariya looked up at Qin Chuan and asked the question that had always been on his mind.
Although this guy is very jealous, he does genuinely care about Aoi Tohsaka and her daughters, so it's normal for him to ask this question.
"...Seeing how concerned you are, I'll take you to see it then."
Qin Chuan stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Under Matou Kariya's astonished gaze, Qin Chuan grabbed Matou Kariya by the collar and, as if he were carrying a dead dog, flew towards the Hyatt Hotel.
……
The situation at the Hyatt Hotel was rather chaotic at this time.
The noise Qin Chuan made as he smashed through the wall of the penthouse suite was bound to attract attention, and many people realized that something was wrong on the top floor.
However, when these people headed towards the top floor, they were blocked by the magic workshop barrier set up by Kenneth.
Because Kenneth had set up a magic furnace, his magic workshop could continue to function for a long time even after his death.
It was supposed to be a defensive measure to protect against external enemies, but it became an obstacle preventing others from discovering that he was dead. I wonder what Kenneth would look like if he knew this from beyond the grave.
Kenneth's fiancée, Sora, has gone out and hasn't returned yet, so it's estimated that the news of Kenneth's death won't be discovered for some time.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Matou Sakura. Although she also stayed at the Hyatt Hotel, it was far away from the penthouse suite.
To ensure that the money he stole from the street thugs would last longer, Qin Chuan booked the cheapest room for Matou Sakura, located on the third floor of the Hyatt Hotel.
So for Matou Sakura, the only impact of Kenneth's death was that she felt a bit noisy outside.
Although it was late at night, Matou Sakura was still awake, flipping through a magic book in her hand.
When Qin Chuan took Matou Sakura away from the Matou family, he also took a lot of magic books with him. Matou Sakura is now passing the time with these magic books.
On one hand, it was to keep Matou Sakura from getting bored; on the other hand, Matou Sakura also hoped that she could become a magician who could stand on her own as soon as possible.
After all, to participate in the Holy Grail War, one must possess a certain level of magical talent. Matou Sakura's goal is to summon Qin Chuan in the next Holy Grail War.
However, just as she was flipping through the book, she heard a sound coming from the window of the room.
Her expression immediately hardened, and she turned to look at the window, raising her small hand as if she would unleash a magic spell if she saw any strangers intruding.
But upon seeing the figure entering through the window, her little face instantly lit up with a smile:
"Big brother!"
The newcomer was Qin Chuan, who was carrying Matou Kariya. He entered the room through the window and casually tossed Matou Kariya aside.
Then he caught Matou Sakura, who jumped right into his arms.
"Big brother! I'm working hard to learn magic, so you must answer my call in the next Holy Grail War!"
"Go, go, go."
Qin Chuan ruffled Matou Sakura's hair, casually agreeing with her.
Perhaps terrified by the Matou family's insect bank, Matou Sakura became quite dependent on the "big brother" who rescued her.
If Matou Sakura didn't lack a cell phone and Qin Chuan's contact information, Qin Chuan's phone would probably be flooded with her messages.
However, the fact that they can only respond to Matou Sakura's summons... makes it impossible to be certain.
After all, it's uncertain whether the main quest generated in the next mission world will be the Fifth Holy Grail War, not to mention that one's identity is determined by the system.
"Sakura... Sakura!"
Matou Kariya, who was casually left aside by Qin Chuan, seemed to be completely unnoticed by Matou Sakura.
Seeing how dependent Matou Sakura was on Qin Chuan, Matou Kariya gritted his teeth inwardly and quickly spoke up, trying to attract Matou Sakura's attention.
Sakura Matou seemed to have heard Kariya Matou's voice as well, and turned to look at him:
"Uncle Yanye...?"
Chapter 119 Killing someone isn't enough; you also have to destroy their spirit?
Sakura Matou was naturally familiar with Kariya Matou. Back when he was still called Sakura Tohsaka, Kariya Matou often brought them back small gifts.
As one of the few members of the Matou family who dared to rebel against Matou Zouken, Matou Kariya chose to stay away from the Matou family and often traveled to various places, bringing back something each time he returned.
As a suitor of Aoi Tohsaka, he still insisted on sending gifts to Aoi Tohsaka and her daughter, even though Aoi Tohsaka was no longer related to him.
However, the current Matou Kariya is very different from the one before. The Crest Worms are eroding his body, turning his hair white and making his skin very ugly.
Seeing the gaze directed at him by Matou Sakura, Matou Kariya was overjoyed and opened his mouth as if to say something.
Why is Uncle Kariya here?
However, contrary to what Matou Kariya had imagined, Matou Sakura's expression towards him did not show joy, but rather a hint of disdain.
Although Matou Sakura, who did not undergo the Mushroom Crew modification, still harbors a deep hatred for the Matou family, her emotions are much richer than those in the original work.
At least it's not the kind of cold indifference where someone speaks with a blank expression, as if they've experienced death.
However, this emotional expression was even more damaging to Matou Kariya—nothing hurts more than someone you care about showing disgust.
Kariya Matou was clearly not the kind of masochist who could get excited when he was disliked. Seeing Sakura Matou's reaction, his heart sank to the bottom.
"Yesterday, Grandpa... no, Zouken Matou wanted to send me to the Insect Storehouse. Where was Uncle Kariya at that time?"
Sakura Matou's gaze toward Kariya Matou was perfectly calm, as if she were recounting something insignificant, yet it sent a chill down Zouken Matou's spine.
He accepted Zouken Matou's request to have his body modified by the Crest Worms so he could participate in the Holy Grail War, all in order to rescue Sakura Matou from the Worm Cave.
However, Matou Sakura almost fell into the clutches of Matou Zouken... Matou Kariya was completely unaware of this.
Zouken Matou, wanting Kariya Matou to fully dedicate himself to the Holy Grail War, naturally wouldn't tell him about this, otherwise it would force Kariya to betray him.
Although Zouken Matou also wanted to see Kariya Matou's tormented expression, he would wait until the Holy Grail War was over.
Yesterday, he was deliberately kicked out of the house by Zouken Matou because Zouken Matou didn't want Kariya Matou to know about Sakura Matou's ordeal, so that he would participate in the Holy Grail War for Zouken Matou without knowing anything about it.
"I have no connection with the Matou family anymore, and I'm going to start a new life."
Matou Sakura continued to lean against Qin Chuan's chest, her gaze towards Matou Kariya icy cold, as if she were looking at a stranger.
"Please leave. Don't come looking for me again."
……
Matou Kariya left dejectedly, and Qin Chuan could even see the faint outline of the rampaging Crest Worms appearing on his skin due to his emotional state.
It's estimated that Matou Kariya's lifespan will be further reduced after this departure—the idea that setbacks can shorten lifespan is just a joke for most people, but it's a real situation for Matou Kariya.
Qin Chuan couldn't be bothered to care about someone who was destined to die soon.
Qin Chuan even had a bit of anticipation, wondering if this guy, seeing that the Holy Grail War was hopeless, would go and self-destruct to Tokiomi Tohsaka.
This guy is filled with hatred for Tokiomi Tohsaka. He cares most about Aoi Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Matou, but Tokiomi Tohsaka doesn't seem to care much about them. On the other hand, Kariya Matou is bursting with jealousy.
In the original work, this guy was baring his teeth and claws at Tokiomi Tohsaka, wanting revenge. Would he fight to the death now?
Qin Chuan suddenly understood Gilgamesh's mentality a little better.
"Still reading so late?"
After Matou Kariya left, Qin Chuan noticed the books on the table in the room and realized what Matou Sakura was doing.
It's so late, and she's still studying magic. It seems that Matou Sakura really wants to become a qualified magician and then summon herself in the next Holy Grail War.
He also saw that the black feather he had left for Matou Sakura had been carefully placed in a box.
"Yes, I need to work twice as hard in order to summon my big brother."
Sakura Matou nodded and said very seriously.
“I see… But what you can learn from the magic book brought from the Matou family is ultimately limited.”
Qin Chuan looked at the books piled on the table—these were books he had casually brought along according to Matou Sakura's needs, and their quality varied greatly.
0Request flowers
Some books can be used to enlighten beginners, while others can only be understood by magicians who have already mastered magic.
Qin Chuan even saw the Matou family's insect magic in a book—that Matou Sakura absolutely cannot learn.
Although Qin Chuan is ruthless towards his enemies, he will still consider the feelings of a little girl who idolizes him.
"Sakura, would you like to go to the Clock Tower to learn magic?"
If you were to ask where the best place to learn magic is, the Clock Tower would undoubtedly be it.
The Clock Tower in England is the world's magicians' association, where many magicians study magic and where aristocratic magicians gather.
Although the guys at the Clock Tower care a lot about a magician's background, Matou Sakura's background isn't actually that bad.
Although the Tohsaka family is just a remote magic family in the eyes of the Clock Tower, the Tohsaka family was once very wealthy. Their ancestor, Tohsaka Nagato, was a disciple of the Jewel Mage.
As one of the world's most powerful magicians, the Jewel King naturally holds a very high position in the Mage's Association. As the daughter of the Tohsaka family, Matou Sakura would likely also receive some preferential treatment.
"Eh? Is that okay?"
Sakura Matou's eyes lit up upon hearing this—not because she could become stronger, but because if she trained at the Clock Tower, she would have a better chance of participating in the Holy Grail War in the future.
However, after a brief moment of excitement, she hesitated again.
"But isn't my older brother a Heroic Spirit?"
The implication is simple: as a heroic spirit, shouldn't Qin Chuan be a "dead person"? How could they send her into the Clock Tower?
Even if Qin Chuan had powerful connections during his lifetime, the Magic Association might not necessarily give him face, right?
"I can't possibly take you to the Clock Tower, but I can arrange for someone else to take you there."
Qin Chuan laughed, recalling a certain participant in this Holy Grail War.
