Chapter 546

With the slight tremor of the bowstring and the echo of the arrow piercing the air, the sound went silent, and Emiya Shirou's result of hitting the bullseye came from afar.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise; he is worthy of being this super senior of the Archery Club!

Emiya Shirou was going to participate in this competition on behalf of the Archery Club, but a week before the competition, Emiya Shirou was unable to participate in this competition due to an injury from a part-time job.

Returning home, Emiya Shirou was doing basic reinforcement magic as usual, but having no talent for magic, it was extremely difficult for him to even make a piece of paper hard.

Outside the window, it was pouring rain; amidst the pitter-patter of the rain, a knock on the door suddenly came; Emiya Shirou went to open the door, and when he saw the figure before his eyes, he was stunned.

A girl with purple hair and an exquisite face... that is Matou Shinji's sister?

Shirou hurriedly welcomed the other party into the house; facing the inquiry, Sakura remained silent, only silently cleaning up the housework for Emiya Shirou.

Shirou wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist the stubborn girl; helpless and having nothing to do, he could only teach Sakura cooking and housework.

Time passed day by day, and Sakura's originally lifeless eyes gradually glowed with brilliance.

【Ruby: "Injured senior, girl coming to help, hiss... this script is strangely familiar?! This sense of déjà vu; it would be even more familiar if archery was changed to high jump!"】

【Karna: "Is it still the Fifth Holy Grail War? As a man who possesses nine futures, there are naturally countless possibilities in this battle that changes fate."】

【Okabe Rintarou: "The parallel lines of this world are truly chaotic to the extreme."】

【Lord El-Melloi II: "And magic talent is not good...? Last time it wasn't good and he killed his way through the Holy Grail War; what is he going to do this time?! Subjugate the Beast?"】

【Lola: "So angry, so angry; what's the matter this time? The Holy Grail War is truly too interesting~!"】

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone looked at this familiar development and couldn't help but brighten their eyes, because they knew that the calmer it was in front, the more terrifying and desperate it would be in the back.

And the title this time is Third Magic!

If it were just a Holy Grail War, the real Third Magic wouldn't be needed at all; there must have been a huge variable in this Holy Grail War!

【

Peaceful days passed day by day, and several people were immersed in this happy and beautiful time.

At night, Shirou sent Sakura home; when passing by the road, a petite white-haired loli looked at him.

Emiya Shirou's expression was stunned; when he looked again, the person had already disappeared.

And the next day, a red Command Spell appeared on Emiya Shirou's hand; Sakura was stunned when she saw this scene.

But Sakura didn't say anything, just left silently.

And that night, Emiya Shirou, who stayed behind to clean up the Archery Club, witnessed the battle between two figures.

And he also stepped into an unknown world.

Holy Grail War, summoning Servants, Knight King Saber...

After knowing all this, even if Emiya Shirou didn't want to accept it, the situation was no longer up to him to choose.

The Holy Grail War broke out; Caster committed suicide to protect her Master, and the summoned Sasaki Kojirou was also reborn with the help of Hassan's body.

In the swamp, Lancer was touched in the heart by Hassan and swallowed by the monster surging from the lake water!

The Berserker of the Einzbern family, whose strength was terrifying to the extreme!

The next day, Shirou came to a restaurant; as soon as he entered, he saw the priest Kotomine Kirei calmly enjoying mapo tofu.

Shirou told the priest everything, especially the black shadow in the lake.

Kotomine Kirei's face had no waves at all; as the supervisor, he had long been out of the matter; he told Shirou that the black shadow was constantly absorbing the vitality of the residents in the city.

Kotomine Kirei gave Emiya Shirou a clue; Shirou and Tohsaka Rin immediately went there, but suffered a devastating blow!

Saber was entangled by pitch-black evil and lost contact with Emiya Shirou; just when Assassin was about to kill Emiya Shirou, Rider arrived in time and saved Emiya Shirou!

And after that, everyone also learned the truth about Matou Sakura.

Implanted with crest worms since childhood, suffering physical and mental torture, eventually leading to a rampage!

Sakura felt sorry for hurting Shirou, but Shirou didn't care; knowing all the past of the girl, he hugged Sakura tightly.

He, wants to become an ally of justice that belongs only to Sakura!!

】

Across the Myriad Worlds

Emiya is worthy of being Emiya!

Compared to saving the world, being a personal hero is more interesting!

For onlookers like them, sacrificing the few to save the many? This has nothing to do with them!

What they want to see is just the intense collision of ideas and bodies!

Living just for that ethereal existence of saving the world is too boring.

【

Shirou brought Sakura home, but to cure Sakura, Shirou decided to seek Illya's cooperation to fight against that old bug Matou Zouken!

And in a place Shirou couldn't see, Sakura could no longer support her body; her body became weaker and weaker, as if there was another personality in her mind.

She—wants to possess the senior... wants to...

And at this time, Shirou, who arrived at the Einzbern family, found that Matou Zouken had arrived one step ahead of him.

Looking at that old bug, Illya sneered coldly, "You're really like your Master, so afraid of death, completely lacking the fighting spirit to fight us to the death."

Matou Zouken was not angry, just calmly admitted, "Of course I'm afraid of death; my wish is to live forever; look at this body of mine, it's rotting every second; can you understand this pain?"

"No one is not afraid of death; if I could really live forever as I wish, then I would not hesitate to kill all humans in the world."

As the words fell, Matou Zouken turned into countless twisted bugs all over the ground, and then twistedly restored to a hunched human form.

"That's enough, Makiri; you are so obsessed," Illya's eyes suddenly carried a trace of emptiness and coldness.

That was the consciousness of the Saint of Winter, Justeaze.

She said ethereally, "Please recall it; recall the wish of mages; why do we mages crave miracles?"

"What are we for, to explore the root of magic, this divine realm, in human form?"

"... Hmph, truly sharp-tongued; but you are just a mere doll," Matou Zouken snorted coldly, and then turned into a swarm of bugs and dissipated.

Naturally, he wouldn't choose to fight in person; that monster named Berserker was something he absolutely didn't want to provoke.

And to deal with Berserker, Matou Zouken already had a candidate.

】

Matou Family

The wish of mages...

After Matou Zouken's brief silence, he sneered; he naturally remembered that.

Ally of justice; for this, he participated in the First, Second, and Third Holy Grail Wars, but what was the result?

In this long journey, he understood that the Holy Grail couldn't give him justice, and there would be no true justice in this world.

Instead, in the middle of this long journey, Matou Zouken realized; justice is too stupid; pursuing justice is something only fools would do.

And death... is too terrible...

To seek justice, he didn't hesitate to turn into a bug mage to extend his life, but in the process, he witnessed too many deaths.

Misery, pain, wailing, despair; Matou Zouken felt deep fear and torture!

Absolutely don't die; no matter what form it is, you must live!

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone was curious about who Matou Zouken was going to let take action.

They already knew about the strength of the Berserker Heracles; it can be said that if it weren't for Gilgamesh's too perverted Noble Phantasm, Heracles would definitely be able to suppress Gilgamesh and make him unable to lift his head.

Even as a Berserker, Heracles' strength is among the top.

Could it be that the old bug called Gilgamesh?

Everyone shook their heads; this is simply impossible; with Gilgamesh's personality, if that old bug came to find him, he would probably be slashed on the spot.

That King of Heroes does not allow such dirty things to appear before his eyes.

Then who is fighting Berserker?

The next moment, the appearance of a sound stunned everyone.

【

Matou Zouken left, but Illya didn't dare to pursue, because a terrifying aura that made people feel palpitations and horror was brewing and erupting behind her!

Destructive mana caused the vegetation to wither rapidly, and pitch-black scarlet mud surged out in all directions.

Evil and ominous; the malice that poured out even made Berserker feel uneasy; he jumped fiercely and then rushed there!

At this moment, the entire forest flashed with brilliant scarlet mana!

A terrifying light cannon of hundreds of meters shot out, and then swept away the entire Einzbern family! ===== CHAPTER 548 =====
