Chapter 916: The Mysterious Servant on Yuanzang Mountain

Hundreds of bugs with wings flew out of the bug room along the basement passage, and then turned into a gray streak of bugs in an orderly manner, spreading towards the city.

Tohsaka Rin understood almost immediately that someone from the Matou family must be using magic, so these insects were summoned.

Although the Matou family is better than the Tosaka family, there are only three people left in the inheritance to this day. Among them, only Matou Zōyan and the eldest daughter Matou Sakura can use magic. The eldest son Matou Shinji does not have the ability to use magic. Magical abilities.

Although the Matou family was destroyed, Tohsaka Rin also did not find a single figure from the ruins. She had reason to believe that Matou Sakura was still alive. Publicly and privately, she had to know Sakura's whereabouts!

Tohsaka Rin quickly left the basement, and together with Archer, rushed in the direction where the bug left.

But before leaving, she raised her hand and threw two gems into the insect room. The gems shattered, forming a continuous sea of ​​fire, gradually covering the entire insect room, and countless insects came from it. A death cry.

…………

Following the bugs that crossed the sky, Tohsaka Rin and Archer quickly left the Western-style residential area and came to the riverside next to the Miyon River.

In the open space of the river, they met the masters of these insects.

It was a bald old man. He was wearing an ultramarine and dark gray kimono. He was holding a wooden cane in his hand. His limbs were as thin as a mummy. There was a slender look in his deep-set eye sockets. He was very short and a little bit... Hunchback.

Although he is a dying old man from all aspects, and his whole body exudes the smell of corruption, he unexpectedly gives people a feeling that cannot be underestimated. Facing him directly will make people subconsciously feel a chill in their hearts.

"Matō Zoukstone...!"

Tohsaka Rin stopped and looked at the old man with a little fear on his face.

"Oh? The little girl from the Tohsaka family?"

The bald old man turned his head and looked in the direction of the girl, with a look of surprise on his face.

"I'm surprised to see you here. It seems that you burned down the old insect chamber. After all, even the junction boundary has been destroyed. No one can stop it."

His voice was as hoarse as dead wood and as muddy as sewage, with a smile on his face.

There are still many bugs burrowing around his body, like a human figure piled up in sand. These bugs are barely supporting his body, allowing him to maintain the strength to move.

It's more of a mimicry of an insect than a human being. I'm afraid all the physiological functions on his body are performed by insects.

"What are you doing here? Where is Sakura!"

Rin Tosaka looked at the old man in front of him with cold eyes, holding several gems of different colors in his hand, ready to throw them out at any time.

Beside her, Archer's figure also took the initiative to appear. Although his injuries have not fully recovered, there seems to be nothing wrong with his appearance, and he still has a pressure that far exceeds that of a magician.

"Do you still care about Sakura after everything has happened?"

The bald old man snorted twice. Even when facing the servant, he did not feel the slightest pressure, and even had a cold and dark smile on his face.

"Now that you have seen the insect chamber, you should have guessed what happened to Sakura. However, after all, she is the chosen master of the Matou family. From the perspective of a container, she is very useful. I can't bear to break it. Lose."

……container?

The girl looked directly at the old man opposite.

At this moment, the other person was no different from a man-eating evil ghost in her eyes.

"Oh haha, what a scary look."

Matou Zangyan laughed indifferently, not taking the two people opposite him seriously at all.

"I still have important things to do, so I don't have time to play house with you here..."

While saying this, the skin, bones and flesh of his body gradually collapsed like an avalanche, turning into a large number of insects, flying towards the sky.

His body had just been crushed once by that moody monster. The hastily attracted bugs couldn't even maintain their shape. He was in desperate need of someone to eat him and devour some of his flesh and bones.

After discovering that this Holy Grail War was completely off track, he no longer planned to stay out of it. He would use this Holy Grail to fulfill his ideal of immortality.

"call out!"

In an instant, an arrow came through the wind and pinned his body to the ground before it could dissipate. Then the arrow exploded violently, forming a sky-high flame like a missile explosion.

"Hahaha... It's useless, it's useless!"

The remaining bugs laughed loudly and flew quickly towards the shopping street, quickly out of sight of the two.

"What to do, Rin?"

Archer, who was wearing a red coat, put down the bow and arrow in his hand, turned around and looked at Tohsaka Rin, "Are you still going to pursue me? With all due respect, I can't get any information from that old man."

"I know."

Tohsaka Rin's expression remained calm, but there was cold anger hidden under that seemingly calm expression.

Of course you can chase him if you want, but with the old man's survivability, any pursuit will probably be in vain.

If the other party hid in the crowd, she would be helpless. After all, she couldn't let the existence of the magician and the Holy Grail War be exposed to the general public.

"Let's investigate this place first. I don't believe he appeared here out of nowhere."

The word "container" uttered from Matou Zōyan's mouth also made Tohsaka Rin very concerned, giving her a vague premonition of something very ominous.

…………

the other side.

As night gradually came, Matou Zōyan found a random person in the shopping street, and after devouring him, the bugs barely regained their composure and reorganized their bodies.

Then, without stopping at all, he immediately headed towards Liudong Temple.

Until now, the Six Riders have only appeared in Fuyuki City, and there is still room for manipulation. As long as he goes to the Great Holy Grail and uses the backdoor of the Great Holy Grail system, he can become the final master and summon a Rider. Followers are used by him.

His body has long been in decay. Although he has a disguised immortal body, he cannot bear the burden of fighting heroic spirits. A familiar like a servant is very necessary.

"Huh? What's wrong with Yuanzang Mountain...?"

But the moment he stepped into Enzang Mountain, Matou Zangyan's figure suddenly stopped, and a look of surprise and horror appeared on the old man's face.

"Impossible! Did Enzang Mountain actually transform into another world in just one day? And this kind of atmosphere is that of a temple... no, it goes beyond the temple -!"

His muttering to himself stopped abruptly.

A follower appeared in front of him with an illusory figure.

The golden pupils contained endless majesty, like a king who was above a realm, looking down at him.

"Leave from here, evil way."
