Similarly, the consumption is greater than expected.
He's almost drained dry.
"With such a large area, there shouldn't be any problem."
There is a bead path in Jiuyuan Temple.
"Yes." Victor nodded after hearing this, closed his eyes and sensed his magic for a while, and said: "The Baptism Chant is a technique targeting spirits. It has absolute restraint on the secret technique of soul transformation like Matou Zouken, but not completely."
"The baptism chant also has its own weakness, which is that those who do not touch it are not guilty. In other words, when facing the spiritual power of the baptism chant, as long as you make sure that you are not contaminated, you will not be purified."
The slightest movement in the area became clearly visible in an instant. He paid a little attention to a few bugs crawling around the wall, then whispered, "So far, there is no problem. Let's check the last point."
After saying that, he turned around and walked in one direction.
"That's over there?"
"Bug warehouse." Victor said simply and in horror.
“…It just sounds disgusting.”
After a while, the underground cave had turned into ruins and was filled with smelly liquid, but it was now empty.
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju just stood quietly outside the insect warehouse and asked in a puzzled voice: "Logically speaking, if we just hide underground, we can't avoid the baptism of your level."
Spirit does not refer to spiritual bodies. Fantasy species, including most familiars, are actually natural spirits.
Therefore, the baptism chant has an absolute restraining power over Matou Zouken.
The insects here will also turn into ashes during the baptismal chants.
"But the human body here doesn't."
Victor chuckled and walked away with Kuonji Yuju.
It was not until they reached the deepest part and looked at the dark cave that Jiuyuan Temple Yuju frowned slightly and asked softly, "Is it a *worm?"
"Oh?" Victor was slightly stunned and chuckled, "You actually knew that?"
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju nodded slightly and said softly: "This, um, is part of witch studies."
"I see." Victor chuckled. "Matou Zouken doesn't just kill his own offspring to ensure his survival... he also needs the energy transformed from the insects to ensure that he can keep his family alive and produce offspring."
The *bugs in the Type-Moon world are not as good at playing as most people think.
In fact, the shape of the *worms themselves is as small as leeches. The only thing they can do is to bite people and inject toxins into the female skin, which will keep them in a GC state and continuously produce liquid full of essence, thereby collecting essence and vigorous vitality.
If it is a male, it will kill him by sucking out his spinal cord and then devour him completely.
"Yes." Jiuyuansi nodded calmly and said, "Record this evidence of the other party harming ordinary people. This way, we can save a lot of trouble, and..."
"Raising maggots requires a lot of food." Kuonji Yuju raised his head and said calmly, "The fact that they can raise so many without being discovered means that someone else is providing women or corpses to the Matou family."
"This can shut up other people, because the mysterious leak attracted the Clock Tower's crusade." Victor nodded thoughtfully and said, "Speaking of which, the accomplices should not be the church or the Tohsaka family, but they are still guilty of dereliction of duty..."
"Okay, but this is not important. What is important is Matou Zouken."
"Do you suspect he has clones hiding among the women he preys on?"
"But even so, Matou Zouken, who has lost a huge part of his soul, is no different from being dead."
Matou Zouken's art of immortality is to transform himself into a soul that relies on insects for survival, and then occupy the bodies and flesh of others to maintain his life and form.
This method is extremely cruel. It does not involve taking over the body or absorbing the vitality of the offspring, but rather allowing densely packed insects to crawl into the opponent's body and devour the opponent's flesh and blood.
Then, use insect magic to mimic and form a human form.
The reason why he maintained his own form was purely because the human form mimicked by insect magic could only be the appearance of his soul, so he became that half-human, half-ghost appearance.
Therefore, each bug is a part of Matou Zouken's soul. Except for the so-called core brain worm, it is harmless if a few bugs run away.
It's just one thousandth of the soul. He is not a demon god, so there is no possibility of recovery.
“But I’m afraid of brainworms.”
"Although ordinary corpses or ordinary people exposed to my magic can't withstand a baptism of that scale."
"It never hurts to be careful."
The most important thing is, if you don’t completely clear it, your challenge to the powerful enemy will not be shown as completed!
Although it was only necessary to defeat him, the old bug behaved differently for some reason.
Victor could only guess that the part that the old bug had hidden actually still had some combat power, or it might be a more core part.
From this, we have to admit that this old bug is really good at hiding.
In the original work, even though the evil Sakura Matou took out the seal worm from her heart and crushed it to death, Zouken Matou still relied on the soul's obsession with survival to struggle for a long time in the state of a conscious body before he ascended to heaven in the Holy Grail.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to kill Matou Zouken.
"In order to avoid facing death, you have gone to such lengths?" After hearing this, Kuonji Yuju silently shook his head and said softly, "I can't understand it."
"Actually, this is just like a magus who transforms into a Dead Apostle."
Victor said suddenly.
He walked to every corpse or breathing woman and chanted the baptismal chant over and over again to purify them thoroughly.
"Oh, we will understand only when we see the fate of the fallen ones being revealed one by one."
Victor whispered, "When the people who came after knew this but still decided to fall, they were filled with determination and courage."
"It's just a pity that even with such an obsession, in the end... it decayed with the passage of time and disappeared into the long river of history."
At this point, Victor seemed to be inspired by the church and couldn't help but make the sign of the cross on his chest.
"So, they need to be liberated, and they should be liberated."
Kuuanji Yuju: "..."
For the first time, Kuonji Yuju began to doubt his own judgment.
He really looks like him.
He looks too much like a serious priest.
Are you really a Dead Apostle? Or a magician?
Are you an undercover agent sent by the church?
In the end, she could only remain speechless for a while before she managed to say, "You actually... have a talent for being a priest."
"right?"
Victor also nodded: "I just said that I get along well with Father Wen Bingyongli."
Youzhu: “…”
As she remained silent for a long time, Victor clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "Okay."
"It looks like there's nothing wrong with the bug warehouse."
At that time, Sakura had not yet been adopted, so there was no possibility that there was still a brain worm in Sakura's body.
That's very strange, where is the rest of it?
Victor carefully sensed the mansion and looked at a servant who suddenly ran over in a hurry. He suddenly realized something and looked towards the ancestral home in the middle.
After a while——
"Stop... No... Don't go any further!"
Kuonji Yuzu, who had been following Victor silently for some unknown reason, suddenly looked up in astonishment and saw the frail figure who had fled in panic. Matou Tsuruno was now trembling with all his might, holding a dagger in both hands, blocking the door...
Inside the old house, through his back, you can see a child about two years old, who is terrified and hugging a servant in a corner, crying loudly.
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju seemed to understand something: "Could it be..."
That is Shinji Matou, the future Kelp Leader, also known as Second Master.
Tsk, that’s so miserable.
"Yeah, that should be it. He likes to put it inside the child. That's really the guy's usual style."
When Victor thought that the person chosen by Matou Zouken as a hidden target was actually Matou Shinji, who had no talent for magic, he was surprised, but also a little bit not surprised.
The conversation between the two was not hidden from Matou Tsuruno. He obviously heard the conversation between the two. He raised his dagger tremblingly and said, "You...what are you going to do? You won't even let an innocent child go?!"
However, what Victor did not expect was that Matou Tsuruya actually had some conscience as a father, and for the sake of his children, he raised the dagger in his hand towards the two of them.
You have to know that Shinji Matou's mother is a bacteria preserver, and Matou Tsuruno has no feelings for her at all. He left Shinji Matou simply to continue the magician's bloodline.
Not only that, even with the help of the Bacteria Preserver, Shinji Matou still has no talent for magic. One can imagine how disappointed Matou Tsuruno is with him.
But that's okay.
Other magicians might not be able to safely remove the brain worm in a young child's heart, which would endanger the child, but in front of Victor's baptismal chant, it is a simple matter.
116. Matou Kariya, please come home quickly!
Victor raised his eyes and looked at Kuonji Yuzu. The monsters in the thick fog were already approaching Matou Tsuruno, expressing what Yuzu's eyes meant - she could take action at any time to eliminate them.
Victor stopped Youzhu. In view of the courage shown by the other party, he did not mind spending more time to explain: "Matou Tsuruya, I hope you can understand that your ancestor Matou Zouken is hiding in your son's body right now. Even if you stop us, he will soon rely on devouring your son's flesh and blood to survive again--"
Victor walked forward, pushed away the opponent's blade and said, "And I am the only one who can save him without getting hurt, understand?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing Victor's words, Matou Tsuruno's eyes sparkled with light, and he suddenly asked, "If... Matou Zouken is still alive, does it mean that the Matou family is still a family of magicians?"
"What's the meaning?"
Hearing this, Victor was stunned for a moment, and at this time, Kuonji Yuju behind him said calmly: "According to the rules of the Clock Tower, once the head of a magic family dies and the direct bloodline is cut off, if no one inherits the magic seal within a year, it will be judged that the magic path is cut off, and the identity of the magic family will be lost, and no longer enjoy the rights."
She walked to Victor's side calmly and said softly, "Including... the huge patent fee issued by the Clock Tower."
Having said that, Victor suddenly understood that what the other party was afraid of and cared about was not his child, Shinji Matou, but the assets belonging to the Matou family.
He stared blankly at Matou Tsuruno, whose eyes were mixed with a little expectation, and suddenly sneered. He no longer had any hope for this disgusting family. He leaned close to the other's ear and sighed: "You look really disgusting now."
puff!
Blood spurted out from the opponent's back. Victor indifferently withdrew his arm, letting the blood fall. He watched indifferently as the opponent knelt down and then fell to the ground.
“It seems like a miracle that a person like Matou Kariya could emerge from such a twisted family.”
"..." Kuonji Yuju silently watched Victor kill people cleanly and neatly. A thick fog came, and the monster dragged the corpse into the fog and began to destroy the body.
The two men stepped into the room and in the corner, a servant girl was holding a two or three-year-old child who was shivering. When the child in her arms saw the two men come in, he cried even more miserably.
Without wasting any more time, Victor ran directly towards Shinji Matou, the theory of monarchy rose up without wind, and the light of baptismal chant burst out again!
Wow!
"Hmm?" Not finished yet?
Victor, who was paying attention to his task, was shocked. Just as he blinked, wondering if there was a bug in his task system.
Youzhu said quietly, "Victor, I don't think there is a crest worm hidden in the child's heart."
"Hmm?" Victor turned his head and heard Kuonji Yuzu calmly looking at Matou Shinji with a bit of confusion on her face: "I believe in your judgment, but... it's too fragile. A child without magic talent and magic power in his body, if it is hidden in his heart, the child will not be able to survive at all, and can't even provide the vitality needed for the hibernation of the crested worm."
"Is that so?"
Victor frowned, thought for a second, took out a coin and tossed it up.
This time, he did not guess the heads or tails, but stared at the upward trajectory of the coin. When it reached the highest point, he suddenly closed his eyes.
"The exact location of Matou Zouken."
"The exact location of Matou Zouken."
At that moment, he only felt a sharp pain in his cerebral cortex, and then a blurry picture appeared in his eyes.
After a long time, Victor opened his eyes in slight surprise, and slowly looked at the maid beside him. Being stared at by Victor, the maid trembled all over at first, and then she was silent for a second, and suddenly, she trembled violently, and stood up and ran quickly outside!
Suddenly! Victor raised one hand and stretched it out in an instant!
puff!
The sound of blood gushing out was heard, and Victor coldly pinched out a huge, hideous, and struggling insect from the maid's heart.
"No!"
In the endless nothingness, there seemed to be a shrill sound, followed by a bang.
The fishy juice splashed out, and murderous intent shot out from the black eyes of Victor's puppet - a golden exorcist seal suddenly floated out along with his chanting.
