Chapter 429 Killing Matou Zouken

As for how to deal with the Berserker after the Ancient King leaves the stage, Emiya Kiritsugu is still confident about this.

As long as Saber can hold Berserker back for a few minutes, he can kill Matō Kariya and make Berserker leave the stage.

However, before that, Emiya Kiritsugu needs to consider how to get in touch with Matō Kariya, and what method should be used to make Matō Kariya agree to join forces with him to eliminate Tōsaka Tokiomi and Archer together?

…

The Golden Crow falls to the ground, and the Jade Rabbit rises.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the day, Fuyuki City at night is so quiet that even crickets are unwilling to make a sound.

“It’s started!”

Raising his head, Aylin whispered.

He sensed the rising fighting spirit in the distance.

Aylin knew that this was Lancer Diarmuid Odinna inviting all the legendary heroes to fight.

“What’s wrong? Berserker.”

Hearing Aylin’s words, Matō Kariya couldn’t help but ask.

"In the direction of the port of Fuyuki City, there is a Servant releasing his aura and challenging all Servants."

"What?"

Hearing what Aylin said, Matou Kariya was shocked.

In the Holy Grail War, all magicians did everything they could to obtain the Holy Grail.

Now there is a magician who lets his Servant challenge other Servants openly. How much confidence does this have in his Servant, or how much confidence does a person have in himself, to do this?

"Is it the Servant from yesterday?"

Matou Kariya couldn't help but ask Aylin again.

"No, this aura is not the guy from yesterday."

"But its pure fighting spirit can tell that this Servant was definitely a knight of noble character when he was alive."

"Knight?"

Matou Kariya looked up in the direction of Aylin's vision. With only one remaining eye, Matou Kariya could only see the dark night and the bright moonlight, and could not see the pure fighting spirit that Berserker said at all.

However, Matou Kariya did not doubt Berserker's words.

If a knight who strictly abides by the chivalry makes such a decision, it is not surprising.

"Berserker, do you want to fight?"

Suddenly, Matou Kariya asked Ailin.

"Oh? Kariya, why do you ask me this?"

"Because, I know how powerful you are, Berserker, and what a strong person likes most is not to fight with other strong people?"

"Hahaha, Kariya, I can't see that you still have some potential to become a strong person."

"But let's forget about it today."

"Let's go to the Matou family first and deal with that guy."

"Otherwise, I see that you don't seem to be able to sleep peacefully."

"Berserker..."

Taking a deep breath, Matou Kariya nodded.

"Then let's speed up, Berserker."

"I hope that after we deal with that old immortal, it won't delay you from going to the invitation of the knight."

"Ha, isn't that natural?"

"Do you think that thing with a foul odor in its soul can last long in front of me?"

At this point, Aylin grabbed the clothes on the back of Matou Kariya's neck and used the flash step to fly quickly in the direction of the Matou family.

...

"Kanye, why are you back here at this time?"

The figures of Aylin and Matou Kariya had just landed from the sky in the courtyard of the Matou family. Countless engraved insects gathered from all directions and finally condensed into the appearance of Matou Zouken, and asked Matou Kariya.

However, although Matou Zouken was talking to Matou Kariya, his eyes were looking at Aylin.

Although there was no black and red flame around Ailin's body, the iconic captain's feather ornament still made Matou Zouken sure that the Servant who appeared in front of him with Matou Kariya was the Servant summoned from the basement of the genius Matou family.

"What am I here for? Didn't you know it a long time ago?"

Matou Zouken's pupils shrank when he heard Matou Kariya's words.

After watching the battle between Berserker and Archer last night, Matou Zouken knew that his strength was far inferior to Berserker's.

And with Matou Kariya's hatred for him, he would never let him go when he knew that Berserker could kill him.

But Matou Zouken originally thought that Matou Kariya wanted to settle accounts with him, at least until he won the Holy Grail.

Unexpectedly, after only one day, Matou Kariya, who knew the power of Berserker, couldn't wait to deal with him.

"Kani, I remember I taught you that a magician must make choices based on gains and losses."

"Your choice to attack me at this time is absolutely the most stupid thing to do."

While scolding Matou Kariya for stalling time, Matou Zouken quickly let the crested insects he was hosting escape from the Matou residence.

Although he was reluctant to part with the crested insects he had cultivated, as long as he was still alive, he could use magic to create more crested insects.

If he died, what would be the point of having more crested insects?

However, these actions of Matou Zouken could be hidden from Matou Kariya, but not from Ailin who possessed spiritual perception.

"Kaya, have you finished the reunion?"

"If you have, I will take action."

"If it's any later, I'm afraid he will escape from the Matou residence."

Matou Kariya was shocked when he heard Ailin's words.

Fortunately, Berserker was more powerful than he thought, and he could actually sense that Matou Zouken was about to escape from the Matou residence.

"You!"

Matou Zouken on the opposite side was also shocked when he heard Ailin's words.

He never thought that this Servant could actually sense his actions.

"Huh, what's wrong, old man."

"Are you so shocked that you were discovered to be running away?"

"Next, there will be something more shocking for you!"

"Berserker, kill him!"

This time, Matou Kariya said to Ailin without any hesitation.

"Yes."

After nodding, Ailin walked out from behind Matou Kariya.

Seeing that Matou Kariya had no chance to survive, Matou Zouken also fought hard.

In an instant, countless imprinted insects crawled out from all parts of the Matou house, forming a sea of ​​imprinted insects, and rushed towards Matou Kariya and Ailin like waves.

And the imprinted insect that Matou Zouken's soul was inhabiting flew away from the Matou house at a faster speed.

"It's really disgusting."

Looking at the sea of ​​insects formed by countless imprinted insects, Ailin shook his head.

Fortunately, before coming, Ailin already knew what kind of Zanpakuto would be the most deadly to Matou Zouken.

For insects, high temperature and low temperature are both absolute sure kills.

And it just so happened that Ailin had the corresponding Zanpakuto in his palm, regardless of high temperature or low temperature.

However, compared with the damage caused by high temperature, Ailin felt that it would be better to use low temperature to freeze these insects to death.

After all, Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura would live in this house in the future.

Burned by his own fire, how can they afford to repair it?

Thinking of this, Ailin has already decided which Zanpakutō to use.

Black and red space ripples appeared in front of Ailin, and the handle of a Zanpakutō flew out from the space ripples.

After pulling the Zanpakutō out of the space ripples, Ailin recited the real name of this Zanpakutō and released it.

"Dance it—Sode no Shirayuki!"

"Minus fifty degrees!"

Unlike Rukia who needs to slowly adjust her own temperature, Ailin can fully display Sode no Shirayuki's Shikai ability at the moment of release.

A light frost condensed on Ailin's body, making Ailin look even colder.

A strong chill emanated from Ailin's body, and countless water vapor on the ground where his feet stood was frozen into ice, and the ice quickly spread outward.

Those engraved bugs that wanted to approach Ailin and Matou Kariya were frozen by the chill released from Ailin's body halfway.

However, Ailin was not satisfied with this freezing speed.

Therefore, Ailin used the Sode Shirayuki in his palm to cut a circular arc, instantly covering the entire Matou House.

"First Dance - Moon White!"

The ground of Matou House lit up with white light.

The next moment, the entire sky above Matou House was frozen into icicles by the strong cold.

All the imprinted insects in Matou House, including the imprinted insect that was hosting Matou Zonken's soul and was about to escape from Matou House, were completely frozen.

At a low temperature of minus fifty degrees, these imprinted insects were killed instantly.

"Bang!"

"Hua La La..."

When Ailin appeared outside Matou House with Matou Kariya in his flash step, the icicles behind him, which were tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, instantly turned into powder and shattered.

Those insects that were frozen to death, like the fragments of ice, shattered into countless blood-red ice fragments, scattered in the courtyard.

Matou Kariya turned back and looked at the old house submerged by countless broken ice with mixed feelings.

Because of everything in this house, Matou Kariya gave up his beloved.

What Matou Kariya didn't expect was that he still couldn't escape the ending of letting his beloved suffer.

It's just that the person being tortured has changed from that woman to that woman's child.

After knowing the treatment that Sakura suffered in the Matou house, Matou Kariya no longer had the filter he had at the beginning for Aoi.

Perhaps, in Aoi's view, her behavior made her a good wife in the eyes of Tohsaka Tokiomi.

However, her "goodness" was exchanged for her own daughter.

For Matou Kariya, Aoi was very unqualified as a mother.

If he could survive after the end of this war, Matou Kariya would never hand Sakura over to the Tohsaka family again.

It's better to say that Sakura, who has changed her surname to "Matou", can be regarded as his daughter and has no relationship with the Tohsaka family anymore.

"Berserker, let's go."

"I'll let you go to fulfill your promise to that noble knight."

"Yes."

...

"Ding!"

"Ding Ding!"

When Aelin arrived at the port, Saber Artoria was already fighting with Lancer Diarmuid.

The spear collided with the invisible sword, and bursts of sparks burst out.

The aftermath of the collision of weapons caused great damage to the surrounding containers.

Alin did not hide his aura.

Therefore, when Alin appeared on the container, Saber and Lancer had already spotted Alin.

"Dang!"

The spear collided with the invisible sword, and a powerful shock wave erupted.

This collision also caused Saber and Lancer to separate, and they turned their heads to look at Alin with their weapons.

"Don't worry, both of you."

"I was also attracted by the pure fighting spirit of this noble knight and wanted to fight him here."

"But since Saber has taken the lead, I will naturally not make a move to snatch the opponent."

"Oh?"

Diarmuid made a gun flower with the spear in his hand, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"I originally thought that Saber's participation in this battle was a pleasant surprise, but I didn't expect that someone like you would come to accept the invitation. I am really honored."

"However, as the host, how can we let the guests wait alone?"

"Saber, and this hero who I don't know is Archer or Caster, if you don't mind, how about we have a three-way battle?"

"Oh? A chaotic battle between three people?"

"Interesting."

Hearing Diarmuid's words, Aylin also became interested.

Aylin also saw the battle between Diarmuid and Altria.

In terms of melee combat alone, the heroes whose martial arts have been sublimated by the Hall of Heroes are no worse than the gods of death who have practiced for hundreds of years.

In particular, most of them have abilities such as "mind's eye" and "intuition", which can directly increase their real combat effectiveness.

If he only fights with one of Diarmuid or Altria, Aylin has great confidence in winning.

But if the two of them were together...

Thinking of this, Aylin looked at Artoria.

"Saber, what do you think of Lancer's proposal?"

"If you have no objection, then I will take action."

"This..."

Artoria hesitated and looked back at Irisviel.

As a knight, she should not refuse any challenge.

But this time, Artoria appeared as the Knight of Irisviel.

Her most important task is not to defeat other Servants, but to protect Irisviel.

"Saber, go fight!"

"I am not as fragile as you think."

Compared with Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel knows Artoria better.

Saber must be looking forward to fighting with heroes of other times.

If she leaves Saber with regrets because of protecting herself, Irisviel will not forgive herself.

"But..."

Artoria opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but after looking at Diarmuid, she finally did not say it.

Now besides them, there is also Lancer's Master hiding in the dark.

If Lancer's Master suddenly launches a sneak attack on Irisviel during their battle, then Altria will undoubtedly be too late to rescue.

However, if Altria expresses this concern, it is undoubtedly a lack of trust in Diarmuid.

However, even if it is just this, Diarmuid can guess it.

Regarding this, Diarmuid can only smile bitterly.

Now he doesn't know much about his Master, but from the fact that he asked his fiancée to provide him with magic power and changed three residences in two days, Diarmuid can't guarantee that his Master will not attack the other Master. (End of this chapter)
