Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

The day after the Holy Grail War ended successfully.

The whole city woke up from this nightmare.

The dead woke up again, the broken city returned to its original appearance, and the light emitted by the Cup of Heaven smoothed away all traces.

Including traces of the heroes known as Servants who have quietly returned.

Because he put down his obsession and left Fuyuki City with his family in advance, the chain reaction caused by the Holy Grail War did not affect Tohsaka Tokiomi and his family. They spent a few days of wonderful vacation in Kyoto.

Because of the appearance of the old Sen, Kotomine Kirei has not been bewitched by Gilgamesh and still lives as an agent who constantly seeks the meaning of his own existence. He is still busy at this moment.

As a magician, Kenneth witnessed the miracle displayed by the Great Holy Grail with his own eyes, and was shocked beyond words by such a spectacular sight.

Last night, he witnessed the rebirth and reshaping of the city. The great power to reverse the realm of death and life, the miracle that only existed in myths, reappeared in this era.

After that, he found the newly resurrected Weber in the reborn city as quickly as possible, and then took him on the ship back to the Clock Tower overnight and hurriedly left Fuyuki City.

If you don't leave, you'll be in big trouble.

……

……

Matou Residence, this ancient mansion that was burned to the ground by the Avenger Count of Monte Cristo a few days ago, has reappeared in the city due to the miracle of the Great Holy Grail.

The dark basement, the squirming insect holes, the faint beating pulse, and the densely packed insects in the darkness condensed into a dry figure and appeared in the lobby of the mansion.

Jie Jie——

"I'm actually still alive...is it the power of the Holy Grail? Did the Holy Grail bring me back to life?……"

In the empty mansion, the mummy-like Matou Zouken crushed the crutch in his hand and whispered gloomily.

The memory was still very clear. He remembered that he was completely killed by a green revenge ghost, and even the life bugs were burned to ashes.

Although I don’t know whose Servant that is, his existence is my nemesis.

The black flames of hell that could ignite his soul easily ignited his body and soul. He simply couldn't bear the blazing heat. When he tried to control the life bug to escape first, he was crushed to death by that guy..

He actually knows his most secret way to save his life? What exactly is going on? Even the two useless heirs of his own life bug had no way of knowing, but the vengeful ghost not only easily called out the name that he had long forgotten, but he also knew his life bug thoroughly. That guy had been forgotten by him. Does an acquaintance still possess some kind of Noble Phantasm similar to clairvoyance?

"The abominable vengeful ghost actually killed me!! It is simply unforgivable for me to suffer that kind of pain!"

"And that good-for-nothing Matou Kariya...how dared to betray me!!"

Thinking of Matou Kariya's inaction when he was attacked by the revenge ghost that night, allowing the Black Knight to watch him being killed, the veins on Matou Zangyan's forehead popped up again and again.

The Holy Grail has disappeared... Chapter The five Holy Grail Wars will no longer happen again. The vengeful ghost must have returned to the Seat of Heroes. It was probably a victor who made a foolish wish to resurrect everyone...

Along with the resurrection from the dead, even the one who was killed The magic mark that the revengeful ghost took away actually returned to his body again, but compared to this useless mark, Tohsaka Sakura's body is the most important thing

"As long as we get that young and energetic body, there is still hope. The Holy Grail War cannot end like this. One day I will definitely get the Holy Grail, I will.……"

Matou Zangyan murmured in a low voice, and the countless insect familiars hidden in the mansion began to squirm together, surrounding him one after another, waiting for his order:"Go, find that trash Matou Kariya immediately, he You must know where Sakura is!"

Buzz-buzz-- accompanied by Matou Zangyan's roar, countless insect familiars gathered in front of them and rushed out of the door, but at this moment——

"who?!"

Matou Zouken, who noticed that a huge magic reaction suddenly approached, widened his eyes and shouted towards the door.

Phew - at this moment, the insect swarm originally gathered at the door and Matou Zouken's field of vision instantly moved towards Swallowed by the sudden burst of light and heat, there was a loud bang, the sky-high firelight and the black smoke from the explosion suddenly rose, and a big hole was blown out of the door of the recently restored Matou residence.

"Open the door! The community sends warmth!"

Amid the billowing black smoke, a slender figure walked in unabashedly from the bombed-out main entrance. Looking at the bombed-out mansion, he still had a smile on his face.

"who are you?!"

The old bug whose body was half broken by the magic cannon did not die. Instead, many dense bugs emerged from the wall again, quickly burrowing into his body to fill in the missing parts.

Seeing so many strange things suddenly appearing under his nose The insects squirmed and then burrowed into the body of a mummy. Xia Yuan couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart.

How on earth did this guy fall from water magic? This ghostly look?

"Answer me! who are you? Is it the helper that Matou Kariya hired to kill me?!"

"……"

Seeing Xia Yuan's silence, Matou Zangyan's face was full of anger.

Breaking into his magic workshop and killing so many of his precious familiars had completely angered him.

The Holy Grail War has ended, and those hateful heroic spirits have returned to the Seat of Heroes. These brats still dare to come to the door. This is simply too much bullying. After all, he is also a master of magic, but not everyone can step on him!

"Asshole, whoever you are? But since you have done such a thing, just die here!

Seeing Xia Yuan's silence, Matou Zangyan let out an angry and cruel roar from his mouth with red eyes:"Wing blade insect, cut his limbs into pieces for me!""

Under the command of Matou Zangyan, thousands of green strange green insects like mantises flew out of the insect holes, their wings constantly vibrating, making a"buzzing sound" in the air.——"With a cracking sound, wherever the insect swarm passed by, it was cut into pieces without any hindrance.

Seeing countless swarms of Winged Blade Insects swarming towards him, he even lost the mood to talk nonsense with this old insect.

This kind of scene is still too strange for his trypophobia.

So from now on, he didn't want to talk to this disgusting thing.

He and Matou Zangyan had no language to communicate, let alone the need to communicate.

Because this old bug will definitely die here today, and it will be so dead that he can no longer die.

Since you were burned to death by the Count's flames, this is the perfect word to use.

"Old Chongzi, let me help you review this."

Xia Yuan spread his hands, driving the nearly endless magic power in his body to ignite the flame that existed deep in his soul.

Close it, open it, rotate it, and pull it.

As the last gesture was completed, he saw his left hand spread flat, and his right hand Two fingers stretched into a flaming long bow, and then he drew it to full length, ready to shoot! With the sound of burning air, the dark flame arrows quickly formed between his left and right hands, and the black fire illuminated them.

The dark flame that lit up Xia Yuan's face and reflected in his eyes was something that this old insect was definitely familiar with.

This fire of hatred inherited from the earl could not only burn the body, but also ignite the soul. Even Roja, the true ancestor, had died in this flame. This dark flame could be called the natural enemy of monsters like Matou Zouken.

Even though the body is fake, the soul is real. If he is hit by this flame, his long-decomposed soul will instantly become the fuel of the flame, and he will suffer double pain of body and soul.

"You... who are you?!"

Seeing the flames that seemed to come from hell again instantly stimulated Matou Zangyan's memory before his death. The pain of being tortured to death by the black flames is something he will never forget.

Matou Zangyan's eyes widened, His heart was filled with despair, and he no longer had the courage to fight. The rotten body quickly turned into flying insects and fled around, but it was too late.

"open."Xia Yuan whispered.

The majestic magic power completely ignited the pitch-black flames.

Everything in its path, whether buildings or creatures, were swallowed up by the flames.

In just an instant, thousands of winged blade insects Being completely extinguished by the flames, Matou Zangyan's full blow was so ridiculous in front of the flames, but the sweeping flames had not even stopped, and instantly ignited the insect swarm, creating a terrifying wave of flames.

It directly scorched Matou Zangyan's body.

At this moment, Matou Zangyan once again experienced the heart-wrenching pain of his soul being ignited.

"Ah ah ah ah ah——！！！"

Matou Zangyan's screams resounded throughout the mansion, and the burning pain of his lost soul made him miserable.

Physical pain can be gradually accustomed to or become numb through modification and replacement, but soul pain cannot be avoided and can only be endured. Matou Zouken's soul had already decayed to a state of disarray with the constant replacement of his body, so the ignited flame became more powerful, and its restraint effect on him became even more powerful.

As long as you are hit by the flames, the battle will end instantly, and there is no possibility of reversal.

Looking at the wailing Matou Zangyan, which had been ignited by the flames and was struggling on the ground, Xia Yuan showed a little regret in his eyes.

But what he regretted was not the old worm Matou Zōen, but a genius who had passed away long ago.

The once genius magician has degenerated into the old insect he is today, and the righteous partner has become a living monster.

Time and obsession can really change a person's soul and distort a person's will

"Matou Zouken, no, it should be Makiri Zolgen. As a magician who has received your magic inheritance, let me ignite your rotten soul now."

"asshole!! Who are you?!"

Matong Zangyan roared, staring at Xia Yuan with his scarlet eyes, gritting his teeth and issuing the final question

"Why? Why? Are you all going to hinder me?! Destroy my dream, trample my efforts... What's the difference between you guys who claim to be righteous and me?! Now let me curse you with my blood, curse...ah! Ahhhhh!!!"

Bearing - the flames were ignited. Xia Yuan no longer wanted to listen to Matou Zangyan's continued nonsense. He raised his right hand and waved, like the count, he directly engraved Matou Zangyan's magic mark and the piece of skin that was not ignited by the black flames.

Then tear it down.——

"Burn."

As the words fell, the black flames attached to Matou Zouken were completely ignited. The rotten soul instantly turned into fuel, and the existence of Matou Zoukstone disappeared into the air.

He looked back at the Matou family. The huge mansion then raised his hand, and in an instant the fire completely broke out.

The century-old Matou family was burned to the ground again overnight, and the soul named Makiri Zolgen was buried with the past. In Fire

Good Night: Makiri Zolgen.

……

……

"So my hometown was set on fire by you again?"

"There is nothing we can do about it. There is a huge insect nest hidden under the mansion. If the eggs and insects inside are released, big problems will arise."

"Burning it directly is the best option."

In the afternoon, Xia Yuan and Matou Yanye were walking and chatting in the park. At this moment, Matong Yanye's face was no longer as pale as before.���Even the complexion has recovered a lot

"That's right, that mansion has long been transformed into a bug cave by the old bug, and burning it directly is the best solution."Matong Kariya smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's just a waste of those valuable antiques stored in the mansion. My brother will definitely go crazy with heartache."

He didn't care too much. Rather than a mansion and wealth, what he cared about more was that the damn old bug died again. No one would disturb his life or hurt Xiao Sakura again. Born

"Berserker, what happened to Lancelot in the end? Have you fulfilled your wish?"

"He also went back the night you left, but he was still smiling when he left, and he looked very satisfied. In this Holy Grail War, you, master and slave, have fulfilled your wishes."

"That's it... It's great that everyone has fulfilled their wish."After listening to Xia Yuan's words, Matong Yanye breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"For you, how does it feel to be resurrected from the dead? Is there anything else you want to do next? Do you want to travel the world or continue to be a writer?"

"This... I'm actually not sure about this either."Matou Kariya was silent for a moment and then said

"The old bug is dead, and Sakura has returned to her past life. After what happened this time, that idiot Tokiomi Tohsaka will probably not make such a mistake again. Aoi-san and Sakura should be living happily now. In fact, I have no regrets anymore. I haven’t even decided whether to say goodbye to them yet."

"Do you really have no regrets? In fact, you just don’t want to see Tokiomi Tohsaka again."

Xia Yuan shook his head slightly, and then opened his mouth to break through Yan Ye's inner tangle.

"Do you feel that it is a bit embarrassing to suddenly go back now after you said such cool words and left the scene so gracefully?"

"……Um."Matong Kariya smiled bitterly.

"I really can’t hide anything from you. Although I really want to see Aoi-san and Sakura again, I really don’t want to see Tokiomi Tohsaka again. Even though I've beaten him, when I think about all the stupid things he did before, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help but beat him up."

"……Really, even though I have come back from the dead once, I am still struggling with this kind of problem."

Xia Yuan patted Yan Ye's shoulder, and then said:"However, don't leave any regrets. You once gave up your own happiness to protect her, but now you have no worries. What is there to hesitate about?"

"Go and say goodbye to your first love and Sakura. At least before you leave, leave traces of yourself in their hearts, traces of the existence of a man named Matou Kariya."

"……"

After saying that, Xia Yuan left the park with a smile, leaving Matou Kariya alone leaning on the bench, staring blankly at the blue sky.

"Will it leave traces?……"

"Really, I would have done this kind of thing a long time ago."
