Chapter 232 Death of Matou Zangyan
"How was it? How did it feel?"

Ke Ling asked Matou Kariya, his hands never stopping, as he began to peel off and transplant the magic seals continuously according to the steps written in the book.

Matou Kariya gritted his teeth and endured the piercing pain. The magic mark affected his magic circuits and his body.

To Matou Kariya, the current situation is as if someone has forced an organ into his body even though he is healthy, and this organ is trying to connect with other organs in his body, madly absorbing nutrients.

Soon, rejection reactions followed. Such a violent transplant was indeed too unreasonable. Even if he was a blood relative, he could not bear it, and various rejection reactions began to occur in the body.

"I told you no, you'll kill him."

Matou Zouken spoke with a sneer. He didn't care about Matou Kariya's life at all. He just thought that Ke Ling's actions were ridiculous.

Matou Shinji and Sakura were watching from the side with anxious expressions. Both children were very worried about Matou Kariya's safety.

"Oh, don't worry, you won't die."

Ke Ling smiled. Although Matou Kariya's condition seemed bad, his body actually did not suffer any damage.

“My body is adapting.”

Matou Kariya said that actually the pain was nothing to him. The pain of being eaten by the marking bugs was even more terrible than this. Moreover, after becoming a ghost, his perception of pain would be reduced. He felt really fine now.

"You're still able to adapt when the rejection reaction is so obvious?"

Matou Kariya's words were met with contempt. Did he think that he had lived for five hundred years in vain? What kind of scenes had he not seen? For ordinary people in this situation, they would basically be dead. This was a super-acute rejection reaction, and no matter how strong the tuner or restorer was, they couldn't save him.

Tuners and restorers are both professions related to magic seals. The former is a practitioner who specializes in tuning magic seals, while the latter can restore damaged magic seals.

Tuners can naturally intervene in the cycle and suppress the side effects of imprint transplantation. All living things have their own inherent fluctuations. By tuning the fluctuations of both parties to be as close as possible, the efficiency of imprint transplantation and use will be significantly improved.

The role of a restorer is very direct. They can easily repair magic markings with much higher efficiency than ordinary tuners. They can even heal and remove markings that ordinary tuners cannot handle.

Of course, both of these professions are very rare in the magic world, especially restorers, who are generally passed down from generation to generation in ancient families.

Matou Zouken watched coldly, waiting for Matou Kariya to die suddenly, but seeing that more and more magic seals were transplanted, Matou Zouken couldn't sit still anymore, right? Why aren't you dead yet? !
"Whoo~"

Matou Kariya let out a breath. His body had gradually adapted to the existence of the magic mark. The pain was gradually disappearing. This demonized body had extremely strong adaptability.

The transplantation of the magic mark is actually not very deep, it is only on the epidermis and is usually hidden under the skin. Only when magic power is injected to activate it will the magic mark glow and appear.

"It's done."

Ke Ling put down the scalpel and took off his gloves. So far, he had transplanted all the magic imprints onto Matou Kariya's body.

Matou Zouken was stunned, and could not believe it. These two people, one who had just learned transplant surgery from a book, and the other a half-baked magician with mediocre talent who had only studied magic for a year, actually completed the transplant of magic seals? !

"Then, please die."

Ke Ling picked up the scalpel again and stabbed it directly into Matou Zouken's head with a "click", bursting the seal bug's head.

"No! I want to live!"

Matou Zouken's will to survive was strong. Even after his head was pierced, he was still struggling. Ke Ling did not give in to him. He simply pressed the trigger. A ball of fire covered the insect. The flame ignited and instantly burned the engraved insect into a pool of ashes.

【Ding! Experience＋660】

The system jumped out at the right time, which undoubtedly meant that the old bug was completely dead. Ke Ling had never seen the system make a wrong judgment.

"It only gave 660 experience points. It seems that the old thing is indeed too weak. An old bug in its prime should give more."

Ke Ling pursed his lips, feeling a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. As expected, he still had to focus on the Heroic Servants, as these modern magicians did not have much experience points.

But Old Worm can’t really be considered a modern magician at all. When he lived in an era when mystery wasn’t fading away as much as it is now.

"Is Grandpa dead?"

Seeing Ke Ling's smooth operation, Matou Shinji asked in a daze. Matou Kariya no longer cared about studying the magic seal and looked at the pool of ashes on the ground.

"He's dead. From now on, you guys will be in charge of the Matou family."

Ke Ling nodded. Matou Kariya, who inherited the magic seal of the Matou family, is now the de facto head of the Matou family. Although his brother Matou Tsuruno is the head of the family, in the magic world, who the heir is is determined only by the magic seal.

Regardless of whether there is a blood relationship or not, or even where you got the Magic Mark, as long as you inherit the Magic Mark, you are the legitimate heir.

Why did Tohsaka Tokiomi send Sakura to the Matou family? It was because he wanted Sakura to inherit the magic seal of the Matou family after the old bug died, and it was worth it even if he had to endure more pain for this.

Does Tohsaka Tokiomi love Sakura? He loves her too much, and it is precisely because of this love that he made such a seemingly ruthless move.

Pushing his daughter into the devil's den may seem cruel to outsiders, but in fact, outsiders just cannot understand the magician's thoughts. In Toosaka Tokiomi's view, letting Sakura, who has such outstanding talents, become a mortal is the cruelest thing.

As long as he could become a magician and inherit the magic seal of the Matou family, it would be better than being a mortal, no matter how much pain he had to endure.

"Matou Family"

Matou Kariya had a dazed expression, everything developed too fast, and overnight, all his original plans were disrupted. Not only did he no longer have to fight in the Holy Grail War, he also suddenly became the heir to the Matou family's magic.

Of course, Matou Kariya is very clear about who caused all this. Although he is a little impulsive and has a bit of a bootlicker mentality, he is not a bad person and is a person who knows how to repay kindness.

"Sir, if there is anything you need me to do, please let me know."

Matou Kariya didn't say anything like going through fire and water, he was not good at that, but his heart was full of hope.

Ke Ling saved his life, saved Xiaoying, and killed the old bug. These things combined were enough to make him work for Ke Ling.

Of course, having become Ke Ling's ghost servant, it is unlikely that he would not work for Ke Ling as long as he wants to continue living.

"Let's settle the two children first, and then we'll continue the Holy Grail War."

Ke Ling looked at Sakura and Matou Shinji. He couldn't take these two burdens with him into the battle. Then he changed his mind and thought, it's not impossible. He could just throw them into the shadow world and be done with it.

"We have to wait for my brother Matou Tsuruno to come."

Matou Kariya spoke up. He had been living in this old mansion all the time. He had been away from the Matou family for many years, so he didn't know what other properties the family had. Either the old man held them in his hands, or his brother was helping to manage them.

"Leave it to me." Ke Ling didn't want to waste time here. While the other participants hadn't reacted yet, it was the right time for them to make trouble. So he spoke directly and extended his hand to the two children.

"Don't resist. Relax. Your uncle Kariya and I have things to do. Let's get you two to a safe place first."

Ke Ling said softly that his method of suggestion was not very effective in influencing the two children, but with the addition of his high charm, the two children were no longer afraid of him and calmed down.

"Buzz!"

The black shadow trembled, and Sakura and Matou Shinji disappeared, which made Matou Kariya's pupils tremble violently, and he was a little anxious for a moment.

"Don't worry, I have taken them into my little world. You can think of it as an inherent barrier. It is very safe anyway."

Ke Ling waved his hand and explained to Matou Yanye. Seeing that this guy still seemed a little worried, he directly covered Matou Yanye with a black shadow.

"Don't resist. Go in and take a look."

Ke Ling gave a reminder, but it was a bit redundant. As for his ghost servants, no matter whether they resisted or not, he could directly put them into the shadow world.

"This is where?"

Everything went dark before his eyes, and Matou Kariya appeared in the shadow world. If there was any obvious problem in the shadow world, it would probably be the light problem. This wasn't a problem for ghosts, as they could see clearly in the dark. But for normal people, the shadow world was well-deserved of its reputation.

Matou Kirei is also a ghost, so he is naturally like a fish in water here. His vision is not affected at all. He soon saw Sakura and Matou Shinji. The two children were sitting around a fire, looking a little at a loss. It was one of the few lights.

Several shadow mechanical guards stood nearby, with lights on their bodies and their eyes glowing. They were the ones who lit the fire.

“Uncle Kariya!”

Seeing Matou Kariya, Sakura and Matou Shinji immediately ran to his side. They were obviously very timid and not used to this unfamiliar environment.

"Sakura, Shinji, you wait here for a while. When your father comes, the adults will let you leave."

Seeing that both children were fine, Matou Kariya felt relieved. He comforted them with a few words, and the two children nodded obediently.

Then, Matou Kariya was pulled out by Ke Ling. Berserker is a good fighting force and should be used.

"Let's go to the Cathedral and kill Assassin."

Ke Ling made a decision. He had to start with the softest persimmon, and that person was you, the Assassin-class Hassan of a hundred faces.

Hassan of the Hundred Faces' treasure is "Delusion Illusion", which allows him to materialize all of his multiple personalities into independent individuals. The person can be divided into many parts, but the combat effectiveness of a single individual is very average. The more divided, the weaker the combat effectiveness. He is a professional in intelligence and assassination, and is not good at frontal combat.

In the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, unless something unexpected happens, the Assassin summoned is basically one of the Hassans of all time.

Because it is said that the word Assassin is derived from the name "Hassan", the Assassin class itself has become the catalyst for summoning Hassan. As long as the Assassin is summoned according to the orthodox procedure, Hassan Sabbah will definitely appear, but it is not certain which one it will be. After all, the rulers of the "Assassination Order" have inherited this name.

"Hundred Faces" Hassan is one of them, and he has the weaker frontal combat ability. If you draw this one, you can only take the path of assassinating the Master.

"boom!"

The door of the Cathedral Church was kicked open and a Berserker dressed in black rushed in, alarming the priests in the church.

Father Kotomine Risei did not sleep because he had received the news of the destruction of the Matou family. As one of the "Three Great Families" in the Holy Grail War, there were certainly many familiars secretly watching the Matou family. Although no one knew who did it, it was obvious that the Matou family would collapse and burn in a sea of ​​fire.

Such a big matter must be handled by Father Kotomine Risei as the supervisor. Not only him, but the Magic Association must also step in. The Magic Association must intervene in the issue of the inheritance of the Matou family, and it certainly cannot be simply handed over to the Holy Church.

Toosaka Tokiomi was very anxious. After all, his daughter was still in the Matou family. If the old bug died and his daughter was still alive, he would make sure that the magic seal of the Matou family would be inherited by his daughter.

"Kirei, what does Tokiomi mean?"

In the inner room of the Cathedral Church, Kotomine Risei and his son Kotomine Kirei were thinking about how to deal with this emergency.

"Teacher him."

Just as Kotomine Kirei opened his mouth, a loud noise interrupted his words.

"who is it?!"

Kotomine Risei stood up suddenly, his face looking a little grim. Someone actually came to invade the place where he, the supervisor, was. Even if he was not mentioned as the "Supervisor of the Holy Grail War", this was the territory of the Holy Church. Did they really think they were made of clay?!

"It's Berserker."

Kotomine Kirei answered, Assassin was waiting outside and had already gone to meet him.

"We need to call the teacher for support. Assassin probably can't beat him."

Faced with this sudden situation, Kotomine Kirei remained very calm. Although in terms of compatibility, Assassin is actually the one who restrains Berserker, after all, the agile Assassin can make a fool of the berserker.

However, this time the Berserker is obviously different. He is still able to skillfully apply the martial arts he used in his lifetime, which is simply a foul.

"Then you have to give in."

Kotomine Rizheng did not hesitate. He could not hesitate at this time. He just had to give in. Anyway, the cooperation with Toosaka Tokiomi had always been pleasant. He still recognized Toosaka Tokiomi as a person.

"We have to be quick, because that mysterious guy is here too."

When Ke Ling and Matou Kariya walked into the church together, some obvious emotional fluctuations finally appeared in Kotomine Kirei's eyes. It was because Ke Ling's Servant was Assassin, so he certainly knew that Ke Ling was definitely not a Servant.

"Is it that guy?!"

Yan Fengli was stunned, with a look of shock on his face. In fact, the church headquarters had already sent people here just for this mysterious guy. After he reported Ke Ling's situation, the church suspected that this guy was a Dead Apostle, and it was even possible that he had reached the ancestor level of Dead Apostle!
The appearance of ancestral Dead Apostles is undoubtedly a big event. True Ancestors, Dead Apostles, and vampires are the main enemies of the Holy Church. Once an ancestral Dead Apostle appears, he will be hunted down and taken seriously by the Holy Church.

Although Ke Ling looks unfamiliar, he might be the newcomer who killed the previous ancestor. Being able to fight against the heroic spirits and not be at a disadvantage, this kind of power cannot be left alone.

"Unfortunately, the agents of the burial agency have not arrived yet."

Kotomine Risei sighed. Although the people of the Burial Bureau were affiliated with the Holy Church and were considered a subordinate organization, their power was actually above that of the entire Holy Church. After all, the Burial Bureau gathered the strongest combat power of the church, and dealing with the True Ancestors, Dead Apostles, and vampires was their main responsibility.

Kotomine Risei and Kotomine Kirei, father and son, belong to the Eighth Secret Society, responsible for the recovery and management of the holy relics. They are not the same department as the Burial Agency. The other party only informed him, the local snake, and had no intention of asking him to cooperate at all.
