Although he had jokingly told Nero that this was a weapon he had prepared specifically to deal with Heroic Spirits, it was actually also a torture device prepared to some extent for the old bug.
He had long suspected that this old worm would inevitably jump out and cause trouble.
The reason we hadn't taken action to get rid of him before was not only because we still needed him to arrange the participants of the Matou family in the Holy Grail War, but also because of the Tohsaka family's status as the administrator of Fuyuki City.
If Ma En were a free spirit, he could act freely, but since he has become involved with the Tohsaka family, he cannot act arbitrarily against magicians within the Fuyuki territory.
This concerns the impartiality of the Tohsaka family's management. Even if outsiders dare not say anything, Tohsaka Tokiomi might still turn against him.
That's why Marx and Engels haven't taken any action yet, but they've been making some preparations.
Now, Zouken Matou's actions have already chosen a reason for his own demise!
Now that there's a reason, Mar and Eng don't need to be polite to him anymore!
Mar and Eng raised their hands and made a gesture.
The surrounding space instantly froze, freezing Zouken Matou, who had become wary upon seeing Ma En draw his weapon and was preparing to transform into a swarm of insects to temporarily avoid his attack, in place.
"How is this possible?! The No-Incan technique of the District One 'Project' can actually unleash such powerful spatial magic?! This is unreasonable!"
"Ha, it's just that you're ignorant."
Ma En sneered and mocked, then calmly walked over with his knife in hand.
Didn't you see that he didn't even chant when he used the 'space storage' magic to draw his weapon?
If he weren't still unfamiliar with this 'spatial confinement' technique, he could actually do it without hand gestures, just like 'spatial organization', requiring only a thought.
He was different from these magicians. He compressed the preparation process for activating magic, which was extremely difficult for magicians, but for Ma En, it was just a matter of constructing it with [Fantasy Construction] (a cheat).
If it doesn't work the first time, then build it a few more times!
Well, basically, it's about compressing the complex process of activating magic into a magic program. When you need to use it, you just double-click to open it, and the program will act automatically.
The drawback is that this method is not flexible enough; the magic program can only be performed according to the pre-set rules, and it cannot achieve precise control.
Just like skills in a game, you can release them by clicking. Players can only control the output by their position and the direction of release, rather than directly controlling the skill to lock onto the target, and they cannot accurately control the amount of output.
To put it simply, it's the difference between manual operation and machine operation.
However, it is undeniable that the advantages of doing this are also obvious. The output is incredibly fast and powerful. If you have enough magic power, you can even transform into a magic turret on the spot and unleash a barrage of bullets in a short period of time.
Chapter 55 The Matou family has been wiped out yet again!
"No! This can't be done! There's no evidence! And I haven't caused any harm yet! You can't touch me! But you can't explain this to Tokiomi Tohsaka!"
Seeing that he was in someone else's hands and had no way to resist, Zouken Matou began to panic.
His original desire for the Holy Grail has been twisted into a desire to 'not die,' and he cherishes his life very much.
Seeing Ma En slowly approaching with murderous intent on his face, Zouken Matou hurriedly begged for mercy.
Marx and Engels remained silent, then raised their swords to strike.
"Now! Ha! Die!"
Suddenly, Zouken Matou shouted, and some insect familiars the size of mosquitoes emerged from the ground, their mouths brimming with venom, and swarmed towards Ma and En.
It was clear that his previous pleas for mercy were nothing but an act, intended to lower Marx and Engels' guard.
Or do you really think he could have failed so easily?
He's a great magician who's lived for hundreds of years, and this is the Matou family's territory, his magic workshop. It would be strange if he didn't have some backup plan!
Zouken Matou watched with a sinister smile as the two were surrounded by the swarm of insects, feeling quite smug.
however……
Buzz~!
Before the insects could even get close to the two, they were struck by a layer of golden light and blocked from advancing.
""
Ma En stared speechlessly at Zouken Matou, his eyes seeming to say, 'When did you start thinking I'd be completely off guard?'
""
Zouken Matou's smile froze, and he fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.
"Very good, not only did they not surrender and accept their punishment, but they even dared to fight back."
While comforting the trembling little girl Rin in his arms, Ma En said, "Most importantly, why the hell did you yell so loudly! You scared the child."
With that, he swung his sword down, the Zanpakuto slicing through Zouken Matou's body and striking one of the Crest Worms within him.
"This is (kneeling)!! I want it! I don't want to die!"
Zouken Matou, who had seemed resigned to his fate, felt pain from the depths of his soul, his expression changed drastically, and he screamed in agony.
He originally thought that Maren would at most destroy his physical body, so he remained calm and even his begging for mercy was just an act.
He doesn't care if paying this price will solve the problem.
But when he discovered that Marne's attacks could wound the soul, he could no longer remain calm, because it was something that could truly kill him.
However, it's too late for him to say anything now.
Maren's terrifying power severed the Crest Worm, which housed Zouken Matou's soul, along with the body in a single stroke. (Holding a Girl in My Arms: Limited Edition.JPG)
"Ahhhh~!!!"
A piercing scream rang out, but it didn't come from Zouken Matou, who had been cut in half in front of him, but from another part of the Matou family's residence.
"Tsk~ There are other Crest Bugs too?"
Upon hearing this, Marx and Eng immediately understood what was going on.
Zouken Kurumi also used Voldemort's trick, storing his soul in different containers.
This scream came from another of his parasitic hosts.
Ma En quickly picked up the little girl Rin and rushed over. In a secluded room, he found Ryunosuke lying on the ground struggling in pain, and a kidnapped child beside him.
"Qinyin!"
The little girl, Rin, who was in Ma En's arms, was overjoyed to see the girl. She was relieved to find that the girl was safe and sound and had not been hurt.
She had overheard the conversation between Ma En and Zouken Matou, and knew that she was the one who had implicated this classmate, so she felt very guilty.
Fortunately, Qinyin was alright; otherwise, this incident would have been a hurdle she could never overcome, and she would have always felt guilty.
"Rin-chan! Did you come to save me?"
The little girl here was overjoyed to see someone she knew.
"Yes, but we'll talk about that later."
Ma En interrupted the two lolis's conversation, slashed the ropes binding her with a single stroke, and pulled her into his arms as well. He pressed himself tightly against the loli Rin, barely managing to protect both of them with one hand before looking at Ryunosuke on the ground.
"Tsk, as expected of you, Zouken Matou, you don't even spare those you've used."
Using spatial scanning, he immediately discovered a Crest Worm inside Ryunosuke's body, indicating that Zouken Matou was not even going to let go of Ryunosuke, this mere tool, and planned to use him before parasitizing him.
Of course, it could also be for surveillance purposes, to prevent Ryunosuke, that madman, from doing anything harmful to his target.
Then, without further ado, Ma En told the two lolis to close their eyes and directly pierced Ryunosuke's heart and the Crest Worm parasitizing it with a single slash.
After finishing, Ma En was still not entirely at ease and thoroughly searched the Matou family's house.
They killed every member of the Matou family they encountered.
These people have been aiding and abetting evil for a long time and cannot be considered innocent. If they had left the Matou family like Matou Kariya before, then Maren might have let them go.
However, even if such a person still exists, they might still appear in the Matou household now.
Well, Shinji, who was still an innocent young boy, was also killed because Maren scanned a Crest Worm on him.
Without this, Maren might have hesitated about whether to let go of this future 'second master'.
After all, Shinji is still just an innocent child, and he has not done anything evil yet, nor does he have any tendency to do evil.
At most, it's just that he was born into a family of magicians but didn't have any magical talent, which caused him some psychological issues.
Being a descendant of a family of magicians gave him a sense of superiority that made him look down on ordinary people.
However, he also felt extremely inferior because he lacked magical talent and was far inferior to the offspring of other magic families.
Such contradictory thoughts accompanied his growth, gradually distorting his psyche.
Shinji, who is still young, can still be saved if he is properly educated in the future.
Unfortunately, that beast Zouken Matou didn't even spare the young Master.
I wonder what that old bug was thinking when he implanted the Crest Worm into Shinji.
Or perhaps they wanted Shinji to become the next 'Zangen,' his new pseudonym, or perhaps it served as some kind of insurance policy, but Ma En was too lazy to delve into these matters.
Since there was no safe way to remove the Crest Worm at the moment, Maren had no choice but to reluctantly send Shinji to reunite with his family.
A family should always be together!
And so, the Matou family was wiped out yet again.
What a joy.
Then, Ma En collected all the magic data of the Matou family, as well as various house deeds, land deeds, stocks, SoftBank and other things.
Well, these things were a waste to leave, so Mar and Eng took them without thinking.
Alas, money is just an external thing; having too much is only a burden, but I don't mind the burden!
Finally, they built a bunch of bombs, filling the Matou residence, and set up a super strong barrier before detonating them outside.
"You can open your eyes now."
Only then did Ma En put down the two little girls in his arms.
"This is……"
As soon as Kotone opened her eyes, she saw the Matou family's residence enveloped in a layer of light. A terrifying series of explosions were taking place, yet no sound was heard, and the light was not blinding.
Even standing so close, I couldn't feel any vibrations; it was as if the scene inside was just a false illusion.
