I, the heroic substitute, was exposed

That was a Jedi whose life was already on the line. If he wanted to ensure that his vitals would not be hit, he could only use the nirvana of attacking head-on from the front.

Now Matou Zouken has crossed this line, not with feet but with words.

But Zouken still faced Kirei's cold killing intent with a leisurely smile.

"...Oh? Am I overestimating you? I thought I had finally found a like-minded person. It seems that you still feel a little ashamed of your shamelessness—haha, it’s too much Sentimental. Don't you think it's like being ashamed of being submerged in something as invisible as masturbation?"

There were neither demonstrations nor warnings.

At the moment when he couldn't even see the preparations, Kirei threw two black keys from left and right directions, as if he wanted to turn the old man's body into a skewer.

However, he still did not waver in the face of the bloody sword attack, appearing very calm, and this was not a bluff.

At the moment when it was about to be pierced by the two blades, the old magician's limb melted like a clay sculpture, and returned to an unknown shape hidden in the corner again.

Kirei's whole body was on alert, and from somewhere came a mocking sound that seemed to be very happy.

"Ah, it's scary, it's scary. Although I'm young, I'm still a lackey of the church. If I make fun of it, it will definitely endanger

of life. "

Kirei picked up another black key, staring at the wriggling shadow in the darkness.

Could it be that the body that seemed about to pierce Matou Zouken just now was an illusion?

In other words, the body of Matou Zouken doesn't exist by itself - anything unreasonable can happen to this treacherous old magician.

If you are surprised by such a trivial matter, you will not be able to act as an agent at all.

"Really, see you next time, young man. In order to have an equal share with me when we meet next time, you must cultivate your nature well. Hahahaha..."

After leaving behind a creepy laugh, Zouken's breath melted into the darkness and disappeared.All that remained was the figure of Kirei standing like a scarecrow holding a knife.

"..."

Kirei was very anxious, and threw the black key that had lost its target on the roof.

Unexpectedly, this old man turned out to be a monster of any use value.There's no reason to keep him alive.

Sooner or later, the enemy must be eliminated.He had such confidence in Matou Zouken.

[Master Chong was a promising young man when he was Maqili Zuo Ergen]

【Kariya has bright and warm feelings, which they don't have. 】

[Is this taking the phrase "one's own pleasure is based on the pain of others" to the limit? 】

【It feels like Ma Po has suddenly become handsome from here】

【Are the tax evasion trio trying to laugh me to death】

[It sounded like Kawaii =. =]

[Seeing them beating me is inexplicably happy. . . 】

【Good guy, this old bug is really a bug】

[Black keys also have this function]

[The Holy Grail War is a well-known secret operation. 】

Celestial Dynasty, Xianyang.

"Makiri Zorgen, later in Fuyuki City, in order to integrate into the local area, the surname Zorgen became the current name Zangken, and the name Makiri evolved into the surname Matou instead. He was the head of the Gosan family 300 years ago. , participated in the construction of the Great Holy Grail 200 years ago, and was one of the founders of the Holy Grail War. Since then, he has been the de facto head of the Matou family."

The first emperor looked at the documents in front of him and fell into deep thought.

When taking over the big and small affairs of the Celestial Dynasty, it can be said to be a perfect transition.

But at that time, all the magic families were suppressed by Emperor Shi Huang's iron and blood methods.

At that time, the Tong Zangyan incident made him particularly angry, and finally sent several heroic spirits to destroy the insect with lightning speed.

In the follow-up investigation, the rest of the Matou family did not see any disturbance, and their behavior was no different from that of a normal family, so they gave up the surveillance.

The information in front of him is more detailed information.

It turns out that the main family seems to be in Russia. At first, it was a magician who dedicated his life to eradicating all evil and human viciousness from the world.

In order to achieve this goal, this "partner of justice" searched for various methods, and finally pinned his hopes on the Holy Grail War.

The original Holy Grail War was rudimentary, and it took several generations of evolution to initially take shape.

However, due to unacceptable conditions, the blood of Matou magicians from generation to generation gradually weakened, the magic circuits gradually decreased, the inheritance of magic seals was also cut off, and the family gradually declined.

Matou Zouken also realized that he could no longer realize this wish, so he decided to use magic to prolong his life, in order to let future generations feel the will not to give up his wish no matter how difficult it is.

But after a long time, the soul gradually wears out, and because of the loss of the soul and the accompanying pain, the will and memory are forgotten or deteriorated, and the means and goals are gradually reversed, turning into a villain whose goal is to pursue immortality.

"Pray for longevity."

The first emperor looked at the contents of the materials and was quite emotional.

In the past, he also wanted to live forever, but it was all so easy.

Now Emperor Shihuang sees it more clearly, and the attraction of longevity to him is not very attractive.

As a Heroic Spirit, he indirectly achieved this goal.

What is the purpose of the first emperor's longevity?

In order to continue the Qin Empire, the current Celestial Dynasty is the descendant and continuation of the Qin Empire.

What the first emperor had to do was to take good care of the country, make the country prosperous and the people rich and strong.

The First Emperor tried his best to make everyone in the Celestial Dynasty like a dragon, and the world was unified.

As he walks on this path, he will inevitably encounter obstacles.

But Emperor Shihuang had already made full preparations since he came up with this idea.

This idea is shocking, but everyone believes that under the leadership of Emperor Shihuang...

The scene where the people of the Celestial Dynasty are like dragons is not too far away.

The First Emperor rested his forehead with one hand, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it in one gulp.

The sweetness and bitterness of tea flow on the tip of the tongue, leaving only the unique fragrance of tea wandering in the mouth.

The first emperor relaxed a lot, and shouted outside the hall: "Kong Ming, is there anything else?"

"How does Your Majesty know that I'm outside?"

Kong Ming walked in with an apologetic smile, holding a document in his hand.

The First Emperor smiled slightly, and pointed to the document in Kong Ming's hand: "I don't rest at night, but you still come to deliver the document to me. It seems that you have something to say?"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Kong Ming held the document in both hands and handed it to him without saying a word.

The First Emperor casually flipped through the documents, while Kong Ming stood aside respectfully with dark circles under his eyes.

Gradually, only the sound of flipping paper was left in the hall, and Emperor Shi Huang frowned.

Section 225 22

2. The last straw that overwhelmed Kariya

Although it was late at night, the church on the hill was still brightly lit.

Being in the place of rest appointed by God on earth, some contradictions and sadness stopped Matou Kariya's steps.

The simplicity of human beings who are easily soothed and reassured by the formal solace of a place of prayer.

Although on the one hand, he scoffed at this, but on the other hand, he couldn't help feeling deeply sympathetic to this kind of human beings who want to find a spiritual refuge even if they know it is deceitful and false.

If someone said to himself that all the hardships that man endured in this world were nothing more than God's test of man, Kariya would surely stretch out his hand and strangle God and his messenger to death.

But if someone asks if ordinary human beings who are not gods can be redeemed——Looking at his gradually decaying body, Kariya can only remain silent.

One step after another, slowly approaching the Holy Grail.But the engraving worms in his body eroded his body at a speed several times faster than his approaching the Holy Grail.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the chirping of insects devouring flesh and gnawing bones.

The pain caused by the engraving worms that were slowly eroding his body had become, for Kariya, a part of the body as natural as breathing and the beating of the heart.

Consciousness is often blurred, and upon waking, the sense of events passing is indifferent.

The pessimistic view of giving up everything that you swear you never need is slowly eroding your heart like water seeping through a crack.

How many times can we fight again?

How many more days can I live?

If you want to get the Holy Grail with your own hands and redeem Sakura, the last resort is to wait for a miracle.

If that's the case, shouldn't Kariya play it?

Facing the cigarette money, which towered from the roof to the ground, and looked down at him aloofly, the huge cross knelt down on both knees.

"What are you kidding...!"

Regarding the humiliating cowardice that controlled him, Kariya couldn't help but curse like a curse to motivate himself.

I didn't come to the church at this time to get foolish salvation.return

Rather the opposite.

Kariya came tonight to get the blood of the enemy.

If Kotomine Kirei was to be believed, Tosaka Tokiomi must be waiting for Kariya's visit in the chapel right now.

Kariya stood in front of the altar not for confession, nor for worship, but just to vent his resentment.

In the duel with Tokiomi who was once defeated by Kotomine Kirei, Kotomine Kirei had already prepared for himself the opportunity of a humiliating battle that would otherwise have been impossible.

Tonight is probably the last chance to kill that nasty magician.Must not be careless.

The burning fire of hatred in the chest, the pain and entanglement of the body, and the despair burned all of them to ashes.

For Kariya now, this is the holy potion that can overcome any beliefs and heal wounds.

The memory of not being able to get revenge in the last battle incited Kariya's inner anger even more.

There is only one thought in his mind, and that is to subdue Tokiomi who took Aoi away and abandoned Sakura with his own hands, and the only thing he thinks about now is the moment when he defeats Tokiomi.

Only in this way can we forget the remoteness of the Holy Grail and the fear of failure.

Only by completely becoming an automatic machine driven by anger can Matou Kariya be liberated from the bitterness in his chest.There was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.Now it doesn't feel scary even when Berserker isn't around.

If Tokiomi's heart can be dug out, and his whole body is covered with his blood——now Kariya doesn't care about anything else.

With shoulders trembling unceasingly, exhaling a heavy breath like a beast, Kariya came to the door of the church, his whole body was full of killing intent.Open the door slowly.

The chapel was illuminated by soft candlelight, and contrary to the warm atmosphere, the air was as stagnant as if it had been frozen, and the silence was terrifying.

Kariya felt a feeling similar to a grave, and felt a little uncomfortable.

However, the moment he saw the back of the head of the person sitting at the front of the believer's bench, he was immediately filled with overflowing anger.

【Distressed Uncle Yan】

【Uncle Yan is such a miserable man】

[This is the rhythm of taking the blame. 】

【Kariya: I'm going to take the blame for it】

【The pain he suffered...】

【It's all Tokiomi's fault】

【Tokiomi came out to take the blame】

"Tohsaka, Tokiomi...!"

The call was full of killing intent, but no one answered.Kariya interpreted this silence as the arrogant attitude of the magus, so he continued to stride forward, shortening the distance between himself and Tokiomi.

"Tokiomi, do you want to kill me? But you are too naive. I will come countless times before you get the retribution you deserve..."

But Shichen still turned his back to Kariya without any warning, without any reaction.
