Chapter 218: The Battle Between the Insect Monster and the Wild Tyrant
Chapter 218: The Battle Between the Insect Monster and the Wild Tyrant
Wild power surged out from Nakahara Chuuya's body. Under the pressure of gravity, the forest in front of the Matou family was directly crushed into sawdust, and countless insects were crushed to pieces.
After the white smoke and dust cleared, Nakahara Chuuya, carrying the suitcase in one hand, stepped on a broken branch and said condescendingly:
"Isn't this a very lively fight? It seems like they don't need my involvement..."
Edogawa Ranpo brushed away the dust in front of his eyes and coughed, "But Ayatsuji gave you an order, didn't he? He wanted you to find Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura."
He pointed at Matou Zouken who was not far away and said, "If you don't get rid of him, you won't be able to take Matou Sakura away."
"Take Sakura away? Why do you want to take Sakura away?"
Upon hearing this, Tohsaka Tokitoki, who was standing next to him, turned around and looked over nervously. He kept crushing gems of various colors, trying to suppress Matou Zouken in one fell swoop, while looking at Nakahara Chuuya with caution.
"What else? How are you going to treat that little girl? Her physical injuries may be healed, but what about the emotional damage?"
Edogawa Ranpo said frankly: "This experience will leave a lifelong psychological shadow."
Toosaka Tokitoki was at a loss for words to refute. The reason why magicians were called the "magic path" was because they often did things without any bottom line, and some of their experiments completely disregarded morality and human ethics.
Considering what Sakura experienced in the Matou family, it was more than just a psychological shadow, it was a complete psychological trauma, the kind that can never be healed in a lifetime.
After Edogawa Ranpo's suggestion, Nakahara Chuuya immediately realized, "No wonder Ayatsuji specifically contacted Ms. Ruri before. I see."
The two of them understood what he meant, but Matou Kariya and Tōsaka Tokitoki next to them had not yet reacted.
Looking at the anxious expressions of the two men, Nakahara Chuuya decided to be a good person and explained,
"Among the Masters of the Tokyo Holy Grail War, there is a very powerful lady who controls the power of time."
"Although I don't know what happened to that little girl, that lady can directly reverse her time and return her entire state to the past, both physically and mentally."
"If she's going through something traumatic, this is probably the best option."
Tohsaka Tokitoki's eyes suddenly lit up, like burning flames.
There is no better news than this, no more magical power than this.
How many people in the world can live their lives without regrets? When you do something wrong, you feel regret and want to make amends, to make amends...
But many times, what is wrong is wrong, and what is done is done. No matter how you try to recover or make amends, it will be useless.
At this time, people will think: If I could go back to the past... If I could be given another chance...
Then, even if he had to give up his responsibilities as the head of the family, give up the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family, and give up his persistence and adherence to the righteous path as a magician, he would never send Sakura away.
The expression of Zouken Matou next to him also changed. Unlike Tohsaka Tokitoki's excitement, he was in a terrible mood at the moment.
Although he has already transformed himself and is determined to be the Lesser Holy Grail, this does not mean that he intends to give up Sakura Matou as a backup.
Isn't it common sense to have plans B, C, D, and F if you have plan A? You should always have a few options.
After all, Sakura Matou was the material he had spent a lot of effort to transform. If time was really reversed like this, wouldn't all the time and energy he had spent in the past be wasted?
Shichen, what are you going to use to pay back what you owe me?
As expected, all these people must be killed. By swallowing the heroic spirit of the useless Kariya, he can also gain a lot of magic power.
Thinking of this, Matou Zouken closed his eyes, and blue-black runes emerged from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, surging on his skin like insects.
Looking closely, those were indeed bugs of different shapes, covering his skin in a distorted posture, and then shadows gradually filled in.
The originally skinny Matou Zouken was gradually expanded by the shadows and insects, and soon he turned into a giant black monster.
This monster composed of countless insects flowed like liquid, and its tentacle-like head pressed down hard, crashing straight into the people.
The formation created by the gem magic was directly covered by the sea of insects. The spiritual energy used to perform the magic was devoured by the insects. The spiritual energy of the mountain was also quickly extracted, the plants withered, and the animals died.
The insect monster grew in size, and eyes and suckers grew on its head.
