Chapter 426

【What the hell is he seeing?】

【A Caster's frontal melee battle actually reached this level?】

【Are you kidding me? Without possessing Noble Phantasm ability, is it relying on pure martial arts to achieve this effect?】

【The further one goes on the path of magic, the more one understands how absurd this is.】

【Damn it, his five-hundred-year worldview is collapsing.】

【In the flesh, Matō Zōken, who had turned into an insect, felt his spirit in a trance, until he noticed that his own rotting soul was about to be burned out by that magic flame, and he suddenly woke up, saying in horror.】

【"Wait, Caster, since you like melee, you must want…"】

【Zzz———!!】

【The young man flicked his two fingers.】

【The scorching white flame suddenly expanded, burning fiercely to a height of more than three meters, the bright white light dispelling the cold and darkness that had permeated the tunnel for hundreds of years.】

【"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't… I… I know the flaws of the Greater Grail ritual, I can help you… believe me, believe me, I can…"】

【Zzz————!!】

【Amidst the more intense flames, Yingdao Mai walked over, somewhat sighing.】

【But not sighing at the so-called Greater Grail ritual loophole, but…】

【"Really burn-resistant~~"】

【Fujiwara Chika hid behind Yingdao Mai, poking out a pink head, and under the head was Rikka's small face, scared but unable to help looking.】

【Burning like this and still not dead, is this disgusting old man really not a Heroic Spirit?】

【"No… no… I know many secrets, I'll tell you, I'll tell you the Heaven's Feel has been polluted… spare me, spare me ah…."】

【The decaying soul that had experienced five hundred years of time screamed miserably.】

【But all struggles were met only with the young man's indifferent eyes and more intense flames.】

【All decay, all corrupt darkness, all filth were purified in the surging, rolling flames.】

【"I cannot die…….... my five-hundred-year wish, my ideal of immortality….. I…. I……."】

【The traces of decay of time, together with the soul origin, were all burned away; the consciousness-blurred Matō Zōken seemed to have returned to hundreds of years ago in a trance.】

【Ideal…..】

【My ideal of immortality?】

【Wrong.】

【None of it is right.】

【That is not my ideal, that is not.】

【My true ideal is…….】

……..

【"This is…."】

【The flames gradually dimmed; above a pile of burned white ash, Yingdao Mai and the others seemed to see the phantom of a blue-haired, heroic young man in a trance.】

【That was the great mage Zōken Matō, known as the "Butterfly User," who stood at the pinnacle of mages hundreds of years ago.】

【He was also the source of the Matou family.】

【Even vaguely, one could still see the outline of Matō Zōken…..】

【Looking at the soul memory, this great mage whose ideal was to "extinguish all evil" and the disciple of the Second Magician, the Third Magician's Winter Saintess Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, built the Heaven's Feel super-spec grand ritual together.】

【And because they tried to monopolize the results, they killed each other, eventually decaying in failure after failure.】

【Suddenly, Yingdao Mai and the others thought of an absurd possibility.】

【Hiss———】

【No way, this blue-haired young man whose dream was to "extinguish all evil" wouldn't be that disgusting old man Matō Zōken, right?】

【Is the butcher knife of time this absurd?】

【Before they could look any further, a shooting magic bullet blasted the old man's remaining soul along with the illusory image into pieces.】

【Eh?】

【Fujiwara Chika looked up and saw the young man's undisguised disgust.】

【Without even stopping, seeing that this soul like a sticky candy still had residues, another magic beam shot from his fingers, crushing all the remnants.】

【"The black-bellied guy hates this kind of 'I also have my reasons, I was also innocent, it's not my fault, the world forced me…' tone the most."】

【Yingdao Mai patted Rikka's shoulder.】

【"Your Servant is someone who really hates these excuses."】

【Rikka shuddered all over, shrinking her head, watching the hero's gaze turn slightly cold, having no interest in watching at all, cleanly and neatly turning the old man into ashes.】

【The old man's past, how helpless, all the reasons, how pitiful, what logic……. what does it have to do with him?】

【There are so many villains in the world, who doesn't have some reasons? Who doesn't have some things beyond their control?】

【Why should one empathize with him from the perspective of the perpetrator?】

【Pah!】

【Die for me————!!】

……….

"Refreshing, refreshing, as expected of Brother Luo Shu, clear about grievances, clear thinking."

"Yeah, why empathize with a perpetrator, right, Brother Abe?"

"Abe says he is broad-minded and doesn't care at all."

"Hahahaha, dying of laughter, what the hell is broad-minded."

All over the world.

The more ordinary people were happy, the more they agreed.

After all, for the bottom layer, death is the only fairness.

Only some 'holy mothers' who want to leave a way out for themselves shouted that no matter who it is, everyone should be given a chance.

To respect life, not to easily deprive them of their lives.

Then they were met with fierce attacks: "Deprive your damn self, didn't your mother teach you that people have to pay the price for their actions?"

"Damn, every time this happens, this kind of thing jumps out to disgust people, damn it, so angry!!"

The death penalty is too far from ordinary people; whether it's economic crimes, corruption, or other things that can reach the death penalty, what kind of people are they?

As long as they don't die, there are always ways to get life imprisonment to ten years, and then medical parole.

After the limelight passes, they are still the high-and-mighty masters.

"Forget it, forget it, they won't be arrogant for long; magecraft talent doesn't care about background, and resources aren't that heavy."

On the street.

"Hahahaha, that's true; for example, I am already an official mage, and now I have finally turned the tables."

The middle-aged uncle showed off his badge, dancing with joy, quite proud.

"Old brother is capable; I'm about the same, also an official mage."

The young man in casual clothes cupped his hands.

"Not bad, not bad, young and promising."

Several men who had just met smiled at each other, feeling much closer.

The boat of men's friendship is just that simple.

"However, uncle, I estimate I'll change to a D-rank badge soon."

The middle-aged uncle said reservedly as if unintentionally.

"That's very impressive, uncle."

"Little brother should also work hard."

"Sigh….."

The young man in casual clothes took out a badge and hung it up, saying helplessly: "No way, D-rank to C-rank is a leap in life level, too difficult; I estimate I'll only break through by the end of the month."

"…….."

The uncle had a dark face, looking at him with horizontal brows.

The boat of men's friendship capsized as soon as it was said.

"Hmph, young people nowadays, satisfied with a little achievement."

With a cold snort, the middle-aged man walked away with his hands behind his back.

His eldest daughter is already A-rank, did he boast?
