Stray Chapter 1: Pest control

From the other side, to this side, whirlwinds and lightning envelop the legendary apparition.

Originally human, but out of the realm of human beings. With inhuman powers, he was elevated to the genus of spirits. From the Throne of Heroes, the servants that countless people dreamed of, came to the earth at this moment.

“Whoa!”

The weird mummy-like bald old man also widened his eyes, his deep-set eye sockets flickering with light, and he focused all his attention on the summoned servant, trying to see exactly what kind of cards he had drawn. .

It's like drawing a card, and drawing a card in reality is naturally more exciting. It's definitely not something that can be compared to something like a few stones being drawn into the soul.

After all, this is not a game. If you can't draw what you want, you can continue to draw by repeating krypton gold. Generally speaking, in the Holy Grail War, each Master can only have one servant, and basically only rely on such a servant. beat the world.

So, what kind of cards are drawn is a question that decisively affects the odds of winning in the Holy Grail War.

It is impossible for him to remain calm on this kind of issue, after all, this is what he has been pursuing for a long time...

"Pfft!"

A sudden sharp pain in the back interrupted the old man's thoughts!

An incomparably sharp bone dagger pierced the old man's heart from behind with incomparable precision, and the accumulated cold burst out violently at one time, instantly freezing his entire aging body! Even the crutches he was leaning on were covered with a layer of white frost in an instant, and the slightest chill was radiating into the air!

It seems that because things happened too suddenly, the bald old man couldn't make any response, so he maintained his original posture and ended his ugly life.

The next moment, an ebony-like blade that seemed to be rusted flashed past, mercilessly running through the head of this lifelike ice sculpture!

The energy absorption effect is activated! The magic knife is frantically extracting the magic power from the aging body of this outlandish magician!

The effect of the forbidden area is activated! The magic knife is releasing silence, forcibly stopping all spells or spell-like abilities of the target unit, preventing the enemy from resisting or escaping through spells!

The Chaos Magic effect is activated! The Curse of the Magic Knife is in effect and marks the victim of the hit!

The sound of clack clack sounded!

He didn't even let out a whimper. I don't know how many generations the magician who has ruled the Matou family, the great patriarch of Matou's lineage, Matou Zuoyan was smashed to pieces, even the meat and bones, followed by the frozen ice. Fragments fell all over the place.

He is a magician with great power, but the problem is not this, but he never dreamed that he would die in his magic workshop——

The location of the magic workshop is the magician's position. It is a fortress that the magician spends several years or even decades, sometimes even several generations. something like that.

For a qualified magician, the workshop is like a camp, the first and last trump card. In order to deal with those self-righteous challengers and lowly thieves and the like, a large number of multiple defense techniques are generally deployed in the workshop.

There is nothing wrong with this cognition, nor is there any problem, just a little accident happened today.

Someone did not break through Matou's mansion, and did not trigger a large number of alarms and defensive spells outside, because he did not sneak in, or attacked dignifiedly, but appeared in this world from the beginning, just right Located in the heart of the workshop...

——When the lost person enters the mission world, it is completely random. It is possible to appear at any time and place, it may be in the treasure house, or it may fall directly into the crater.

The adjustment of space in this regard is not always triggered, and the adjustment is only based on the principle of protection.

In other words, the same situation varies from person to person. A new person who has not been strengthened falls into the crater, which is directly fatal; and a strong person may fall, and it is only a bath in the lava lake at the beginning. That's it.

For the former, the space will be adjusted to change the place where they appear, and the newcomer will be transferred to a suitable starting situation, and the latter will not interfere...

This time, Xia Ran just happened to encounter a small probability event, and the space judged that this opening was not fatal to him at this level of strength, so he didn't make adjustments, so Matong Zhanyan There is mortal danger.

Because there is no defense, it is naturally impossible to deal with such a sudden attack, and it will be terminated in an instant, which is a matter of course.

Withdrawing the ebony blade, Xia Ran frowned slightly: "You didn't die?!"

The next moment, he looked around, and then his eyes were fixed in the black mud pool not far away, relying on his spiritual energy to whisper, he was able to confirm the existence of a large number of bugs, so when he raised his hand, it was a big fireball. past!

A violent explosion rang out, and the underground chamber swayed like a mountain, and the flames burned, spreading out in layers!

The black mud pool was directly blown to pieces, and was baked by extremely deadly high-temperature flames. It quickly lost all moisture and became dry, and a large number of disgusting insects that bred inside also died violently at the same time.

This is not the end, Xia Ran, who has the idea that the anti-virus should be completely, just waved his hand gently, and the flame rune traps that had been arranged before appeared all around, and began to flash red light.

Then——

As if the grenades were detonated, the flames burst and exploded directly with his thoughts, sweeping almost the entire space of the underground insect bank. The green darkness like the deep sea was instantly destroyed by the raging fire and high temperature. crushed by the heat!

Only Xia Ran and the two figures of the magic circle not far from the side were protected by the invisible barrier force in the raging purgatory fire, allowing the fierce flames from the outside world to stack up and bake the space. There are no three people who can violate the barrier.

The man who appeared in the summoning formation was dressed in pitch-black armor and was shrouded in black mist. The mad figure did not move at all. Probably because he did not receive an order and the Master and himself were not attacked, it is more likely that Did not see the things that drove him mad...

It's also because Xia Ran's timing of the attack was just right. As soon as the special effect of the card draw started, when the wind and clouds were rolling, and the thunder and lightning flashed, he had already started violent killings, and set off a flame that swept the entire underground. Bug library.

Less than a second passed after this, the berserker was really summoned and was able to exist stably in this world. Just like when a magical girl transforms, that time does not actually exist. Only after the transformation is completed, the magical girl will interact with the surrounding environment.

So, when this berserker really appeared in the world, Xia Ran had already completed all his attacks, and at the same time he had opened up his mental shield to protect it from being hurt by friendly forces... ahem, also It is the burning of flames.

This series of precise calculations were completed in less than two seconds, without causing any hatred.

There is also that white-haired man, Matou Kariya. Even because it was too painful, after completing the ritual of summoning a servant, his body reached its limit. Hold on, so you don't faint.

But he couldn't even speak, he just lay on the ground and his limbs twitched, his whole body twitched, blood was dripping from his intact eyes, and he was gasping for breath... so embarrassed.

But then again, probably because of his appearance, Matou Zuoyan was unprepared, right? The old man was not worried at all that he would be attacked suddenly, because he knew that even if his son had the will, he would never be able to order the servant to kill him at close range as soon as he completed the summoning...

At this moment, although Matou Kariya was embarrassed and in pain, unable to speak at all, he still looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him accompanied by a sea of ​​fire, his eyes were full of shock!

He barely realized what was going on, didn't even see what was going on, that old guy just smashed to pieces?

And can't even say a word?

"The disgusting old bug is not dead yet... If the soul of the old guy as the main body is not defeated, he can continue to survive. Everything about him has become an alien, whether it is posture or soul..."

Xia Ran looked directly at the white-haired man and said seriously and directly.

"Mato Kariya, who do you think its body might be parasitizing on? You don't seem to have it. If you know, tell me about it. We'd better seize this opportunity to kill it completely. ..."

"Don't tell me, you really hope to talk to it about conditions, hoping to get him to promise you something... The way you are now, if you die, it will never remember your value, What to do or what to do..."

While he said these words, he released a spell to calm his mind, allowing the man to quickly calm down and enhance the persuasiveness of his words through spiritual suggestion.

Xia Ran is naturally unaware of where the body of Matou Zhuangyan is hidden. After clearing the underground insect bank once, he already understood the old guy's method without receiving a kill prompt.

However, instead of going straight to the mansion above, he decided to ask Matou Kariya.

The first thing is to release his kindness and let the man give his next goal. It is better than letting him mistake Xia Ran to hurt Matou Sakura. Oh no.

Secondly, it is to prepare for the subsequent negotiations, because Xia Ran's insertion time is neither too late nor too early. Now the seven seats in the Holy Grail War are already a radish and a pit. At this time, it is estimated that all the The Master has already summoned the servant.

Only Matou Kariya is the most suitable negotiator, because this man doesn't care about the Holy Grail War at all. He has endured so much torture and paid so much price just to exchange the Holy Grail for Sakura to leave the Matou family.

"The body of Matou Zhanyan's..."

"I don't seem to have..."

Mato Kariya muttered to himself, and suddenly felt that he was extremely calm at this moment. It seemed that the pain of the collapse did not affect his mental thinking at all, and he was able to think more clearly.

This is an opportunity!

Perhaps the only real chance! Must seize this opportunity to kill that old thing!

Because he can't guarantee that he will be able to defeat all other opponents and win the Holy Grail, and he can't guarantee that Matou Zaiyan will keep his promise. After all, at that time, no matter whether he failed to die or won the Holy Grail, he would not survive for a month.

What if the old guy didn't even recognize it at the time? ! Is there anything he can do?

In the end, it wasn't that Matou Kariya didn't think of this before, but he really couldn't do anything. He could only hope that Matou Zaiyan would be merciful, and this was the only straw he could grab. .

But at this time, he saw another ray of light. Although he didn't know the origin of the magician in front of him, whether it was good or bad... But strictly speaking, it would not be worse than that disgusting old guy. !

"Sakura! Probably on Sakura's body, the little girl above..."

The white-haired man raised his head abruptly, leaving only his intact right eye staring at the young man in front of him.

"But please don't hurt her! Please..."

"I understand." Xia Ran nodded, then stared at him, "Can you still stand up? If you're worried, you can go up together..."

Mato Kariya struggled immediately, but the ceremony just now really pushed him to the limit, and it is an extravagant hope to get up now... After a long while, he gave up the struggle and raised his head to look at Xia Ran:

"Sorry, I can't stand up, please leave me alone, and don't waste time... get rid of that old guy! Also, don't hurt Sakura..."

There is really no other way, and the words the magician just said made him feel a lot more at ease, so he could only gamble with his teeth.
