Matou Zouken changed his previous disdain. Originally, because the magic circuits in Kariya's body were not strong and were just barely usable, he refused the request to become the head of the family and learn insect magic... In fact, at that time he only asked Kariya to learn his own insect magic, and did not directly implant the imprinted bug into his body.
However, Kariya thought that this kind of magic was too ugly and rejected Matou Zouken and left the house.
From then on, Matou Kariya was classified as a useless tool by him.
But he never expected that in this Fourth Holy Grail War, Kariya would give him a big surprise and actually be able to summon a being from the God's side!
Generally speaking, gods will not respond to human prayers, which means that in this Holy Grail War, it is very likely that only they can summon a powerful being like Moyin. Even if Kariya, as the Master, is not able to do it, if they rely on the powerful Servant Moyin... their chances of winning are still very high.
Not to mention that Moyin also has a Berserker machine with Frenzy EX, which allows him to perform tasks rationally. There is simply no better servant than this!
"Hmph... a useful tool, remember to keep your promise..."
Matou Kariya snorted coldly and glanced at Matou Zōken who looked very satisfied with him.
"Ah, as long as you can indeed get the Holy Grail, then that little girl Matou Sakura won't matter to me. I will no longer need to rely on others after I gain eternal life."
Matou Zouken made a promise.
"snort..."
“Let’s not talk about that. Kariya, how is your body? To maintain a Servant that can withstand more than two strokes of the Command Spells, the magic power required must be extremely great. You must not be beaten to death by the Crest Bug too early.”
Matou Zouken said with some concern.
Of course, he didn't care whether Matou Kariya would die or not. After all, it was he who planted the Crest Worms in Kariya's body that took his life.
He was worried that if Matou Kariya died, Moyin, the berserker with a berserker EX state, would sign a contract with another master. Wouldn't the Holy Grail he had obtained be lost? If that happened, he would have nowhere to cry.
"Fortunately... rather, I didn't even feel the Crest Worm awaken. Perhaps my magic circuit can provide him with the magic power to maintain his form."
Kariya couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Ha! How is that possible? That kind of existence is hard for even Tōsaka Tokiomi to maintain, let alone you."
"you!"
Matou Kariya glared at Matou Zouken with his eyes wide open. Toosaka Tokiomi, who stole his childhood sweetheart Zenyama Aoi, would always be a pain in his life. How dare Matou Zouken mention him at this time?
But it was obvious that Matou Zouken didn't care about his anger, and he still looked down on him.
"If I hadn't provided him with the magic power to manifest himself, how could he have manifested himself?"
Matou Kariya asked unconvinced.
“It looks like we really have won the jackpot. You should be happy, Kariya. You didn’t feel your magic power drained. That’s probably because this berserker has other means of replenishing his power. You just summoned him, that’s all. Perhaps he only needs your assistance in battle.”
Matou Zouken analyzed with a cheerful mood.
His five hundred years of experience were not in vain. At least he easily determined that when Moyin was in normal state, he did not need Yanye to provide magic power to maintain his form.
In fact, even if a weak god is summoned, it may be necessary to drain the magic power of an excellent master just to maintain its existence.
It is obvious that Moyin is not a weak being, so Kariya cannot provide the magic power to maintain Moyin's existence. Therefore, the answer is that Moyin has a hidden class skill that can reach a class skill similar to the Archer class that allows him to act alone.
The so-called solo action is a class skill unique to the Archer class. Solo Action C can last for one day if the Master does not provide magic power or the Master dies, B for two days, and A for a continuous limit.
Judging from this point, Moyin's hidden skill is at least A+ for solo action!
It can be said that this machine of Moyin was sent by God! A berserker with a single-action class skill, just thinking about it makes me smile.
Matou Zouken didn't care at all about Mo Gin's plan to kill him. As long as he obtained the Holy Grail, the servant would return after making a wish. At worst, he could just hide for a while. If he couldn't afford to provoke them, couldn't he just hide?
If Matou Zouken knew that Moyin had casually shattered the stars before, he would probably immediately ask Kariya to use the three-stroke Command Seal to make Moyin commit suicide and leave, although that would be completely useless.
After all, the Holy Grail is a man-made product created by the three great families united in human form. It would be a bit too presumptuous to try to restrain a powerful god like Moyin who could kill gods and eat and drink as normally as he pleased.
…………
Outside the Matou Mansion, a man in a dark coat and deep eyes was looking at the Matou Mansion. Next to him stood an individual with dark skin and a white mask on his face... This was his servant... the assassin Hassan the Hundred Faces.
"Go, kill that loser from the Matou family. According to intelligence, he was a loser who returned to the Matou family a year ago to receive Master training. If it were you, you would be able to easily deal with him."
"An opponent like a berserker who has no reason and is only good at attacking is no problem for you, right?"
Kotomine Kirei opened his mouth and gave orders.
"Of course, I won't fail with a mere berserker class."
Hassan the Hundred Faces approached the Matou residence under the cover of night.
As the Matou family gradually fell into decline, all the magic circuits were lost, and Matou Zouyan's insect magic was not very good at defense. Coupled with the arrival of Silent Silver, Matou Zouyan was caught off guard. It was not until the figure of Hassan the Hundred Faces appeared in front of the two of them that Matou Zouyan reacted.
"Oh no!! It's an assassin!! How dare he attack at this time??? This is too hasty! Hurry up and call your servant to protect you!"
Matou Zouken nervously released a large number of insects to attack the assassin who attacked Matou Kariya. It must be said that the assassin's Master was too decisive. He actually assassinated Matou Kariya as the Master without even doing any preliminary investigation. This would most likely result in the direct loss of his own servant.
But I have to say that the effect of this surprise attack was very good.
Assassin dodged the attack of the Winged Blade Bug with ease and went straight for Matou Kariya's throat. However, when his hand was still a few centimeters away from Kariya's throat, a wave that was imperceptible to the naked eye suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, and the wave force quickly formed a vortex.
Assassin didn't even have time to react before he was caught in the invisible wave.
"This kind of guy???!!! What on earth is he? How can he be so...strong?"
Assassin didn't even finish his angry words before he was crushed into a pool of black flesh by the vortex formed by the wave force. Then the blood in it turned into a blood-red butterfly that flapped its wings and flew away.
Matou Kariya was sweating profusely. The murderous intention of the black assassin just now was the naked murderous intention of a top killer. He didn't even have time to use his insect magic to counterattack. Although it was useless, after all, even Matou Zouken's insect magic was easily avoided by that guy.
But I didn't expect that Moyin didn't even show up and easily killed Assassin. What kind of powerful existence did I summon?
"Great, really great!! This berserker doesn't even fight with his physical body, he's actually a magic-based berserker! He killed the assassin so easily!"
Matou Zouken looked at the pile of meat on the ground with ecstasy. The powerful strength displayed by Moyin was enough to make him bow down in worship.
“Kanye, as long as you can coax that powerful being, we will definitely win this Holy Grail War!”
With one strike, he could kill the assassin before he could use his treasure. The strength displayed by Moyin was indeed enough to end the Holy Grail War in one day if he wanted to.
Now, Matou Zouken is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid of what to do if this old man Moyin doesn't listen to Matou Kariya.
After all, Kariya doesn't have any Command Seals now, and he doesn't have the power to force orders on Moyin. Without any constraints, Moyin can actually do whatever he wants.
What's more, he also has this suspected high-level solo action, which does not even require magic supply. It can be said that their relationship with Moyin is very awkward now. Moyin is likely to listen to a word from Matou Kariya when he is in a good mood, and he can do whatever he wants when he is in a bad mood.
But Matou Zouken was also very clear that if Matou Kariya had not used all of his Command Seals at once to suppress Moyin, he would probably be dead by now. Moyin just had such a strong will, so he did not blame Matou Kariya.
There is no doubt that Silent Silver is a powerful double-edged sword. If used well, it can win the Holy Grail War. If used poorly... it may achieve nothing. We have to find a way to let Kariya coax this old man.
…………
The exterior of the Matou residence.
There was a hint of surprise in Kotomine Kirei's indifferent pupils.
"It actually failed? The assassin who was good at stealth operations was killed within less than a minute of invading. Did he just happen to encounter a berserker?"
Even though he had lost his servant, Kotomine Kirei was still not nervous at all, and calmly analyzed what had happened in the Matou residence.
The reason was simple...his servant, Hassan the Hundred Faces...was a plural servant consisting of one hundred individuals, and the one who died just now was just one of them.
Rather than saying that his servant is an assassin, it would be better to say that he summoned an assassination group.
Therefore, Kotomine Kirei didn't care much about losing just a chess piece.
"No, if he happens to encounter a berserker, I'm afraid... he will temporarily hide and wait for the right opportunity, or retreat first."
Unless... he was killed instantly by the berserker the moment he made his move... But is this really possible? The aura was cut off... and it had no effect?
Kotomine Kirei was a little surprised.
As a servant, the assassin naturally has a corresponding class characteristic, which is the breaking of his own aura that reduces his presence. The specific effect is that it makes it difficult for others to detect him. For the assassin class, it is a very useful direct characteristic.
But how could the assassin that was sent in just now die so easily? It wasn't like the crazy attack of the Berserker rumored, at least there should be some movement?
All I can say is that this assassin's death was really useless, but if you think about it carefully, facing a class like Berserker that is basically unstoppable in frontal combat, this is also natural.
Originally, he teamed up with Tōsaka Tokiomi and wanted to use the assassin to get rid of the berserker master, so that there would be one less competitor. However, he did not expect that he would fail at the start. Matou Kariya, who was supposed to be a weak target, was not someone who could be easily eliminated.
Kotomine Kirei quickly left the Matou residence. Although it was a pity that the assassination failed, the assassination of Matou Kariya was originally an additional entertainment program, so it didn't matter if he couldn't kill him.
Kotomine Kirei is here.
“Hmm… the world line has changed? He actually came directly to kill Matou Kariya instead of looking for Gumpika to act. So… what will happen next?”
The wave force emitted by Moyin enveloped the entire Fuyuki City, sensing what was happening around him.
In fact, he had already noticed the assassin's invasion. It would have been great if the assassin could kill Matou Zouken first, but unfortunately the assassin's target was Matou Kariya. If he didn't take action, Matou Kariya would most likely have been killed.
After all, it is still a disadvantage for a human to fight against a heroic spirit. Although he came to the present world in his original form and did not need the magic power provided by his Master, Matou Kariya was nominally his Master, and it was also a disguise used to deceive Gaia and Alaya.
In addition, he admired Matou Kariya very much, so he took action to kill the assassin who came to assassinate Matou Kariya among the Hundred Faces of Hassan.
As for Kotomine Kirei and the other ninety-nine Hassans of the Hundred Faces in the outer area, he naturally observed them, but it would be a bit boring to wipe them out right away, so he decided to play with them for a while.
…………
The next morning, Moyin felt through the power of waves that Sakura Matou beside him sat up and opened her eyes.
"Good morning, Sakura."
"Ah... Sorry, did I wake you up?"
Matou Sakura twisted her hands together in a somewhat uneasy manner, feeling somewhat apologetic for Moyin waking up.
"Not really. I usually wake up around this time. Are you hungry? I'll cook."
Moyin used the Blood God Stones on HK416 and Dingyuan who remained in the Ash Front world as a medium to release the power of fluctuations and observe the battle situation. After finding that there was no problem, he began to make breakfast.
At this time, other Masters also received a notice from the Holy Church that the assassin Master Kotomine Kirei was going to the church for refuge.
The ones who were most happy about this information were the rider-class Masters Waver and Matou Kariya.
Waver was looking forward to ending the Holy Grail War as soon as possible and being recognized by his classmates and teachers in the Clock Tower, while Matou Kariya hoped to end the Holy Grail War as soon as possible and obtain the Holy Grail, so as to take Sakura's future back from Matou Zouken. After confirming that Assassin had left, he asked the servants to prepare breakfast and came to the room where Moyin lived.
The smell of rice wafted from the house, which surprised Matou Kariya.
In theory, the only people living in the house were the berserker and Sakura... No way? This berserker could cook? ? ? And it seemed that the food he cooked was delicious? At least the smell of this food far exceeded the two breakfasts he asked the servants to prepare... Actually, it was just toast and fried eggs with milk.
This put Matou Kirei in a dilemma. If he didn't bring breakfast in, what if there was a problem with his olfactory nerves caused by the imprinting worms in his body? He would inevitably appear to be inconsiderate. After all, he really couldn't imagine that a berserker could cook!
And without preparing the ingredients...
If the berserker inside was really cooking, it would be... disrespectful to bring the breakfast in. He also asked Moyin to defeat the other five servants to win the Holy Grail War. This was not appropriate either.
"What are you doing standing outside the door? Come in, the door is not locked."
Moyin’s voice came from inside the room, and Matou Kariya had no choice but to carry out Moyin’s order stiffly, pushing the door open with his shoulder and entering the room with breakfast in his hand. . .
