Chapter 745: Pleasure and Searching

~12 min read 2,334 words

"This gentleman..."

Tohsaka Aoi wanted to say something, but just an hour ago, she witnessed Su Xiao cutting off someone's limbs with her own eyes. The brutality of the means was something she had never seen in her life. Now, Su Xiao sent her daughter to the door, which made her not know what emotion to express for a while.

Matou Sakura looked at Su Xiao's retreating back. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene where Su Xiao picked her up from the worm pool.

"Thank you."

Matou Sakura's voice was very small, so small that Tohsaka Aoi, who was holding her, didn't hear it.

Actually, even if Su Xiao heard it, he wouldn't care. The reason he sent Matou Sakura to the Tohsaka house was just because Matou Sakura was obedient enough. She didn't cry or make a fuss when following him, ate when given food, never picked food, and went hungry if not given food.

Su Xiao was indeed ruthless when killing enemies, but he was not a killing maniac. If they were not enemies, killing for no reason had no meaning. That would even lead to losing one's mind and becoming a killing machine.

Su Xiao was not a killing machine. On the contrary, his willpower was very firm. However, he wouldn't be seduced by killing. He wouldn't use high-sounding reasons to kill. Since they chose to be hostile, then fight to the death. If the enemy was strong enough, they could also kill him, just that simple.

"Xiang Bubu, in which area is the fishy smell of the sea most obvious?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang led Su Xiao to the area where the fishy smell of the sea was most obvious.

A castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

In the study, the dim candlelight flickered. A young man in black, with a cross hanging on his chest, sat on a wooden chair.

The man covered his forehead with one hand, his face full of a pleasure that was pathological. He seemed to have gone through some kind of attribute, and the evil beast in his heart was completely awakened.

Golden light spots flickered in the dim study, and the Heroic King in casual clothes appeared. His severed arm could not be recovered.

"Why, still immersed in pleasure?"

The Heroic King chuckled. He was no longer Tohsaka Tokiomi's servant, but the servant of this young man. Although this guy first killed his father, then killed his master, the Heroic King felt that this guy was more interesting than Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"I actually have this hobby, hahaha, it's really too evil, simply a beast. Such a me, actually Kotomine Risei's (old priest) seed? Hahaha."

The young man, Kotomine Kirei, looked up and laughed. When he laughed, there was a faint pink light flickering in his eyes.

"Why, the woman's ability is still there, you are sure to leave that kind of energy in your body."

The Heroic King was also laughing. He actually didn't care much about the Holy Grail, just didn't want to be bored.

"Why remove that kind of energy? It is precisely it that lets me see myself clearly. I have never done anything according to my own will before, and the first thing I did according to my own will was actually killing my father? Perhaps I was born a beast that does all kinds of evil."

The pink light in Kotomine Kirei's eyes faded. If Su Xiao were present, he would definitely recognize this kind of energy. This was Butterfly's Nen ability.

It seemed Butterfly was not honest. While hunting other contractors before, she also prepared to make a windfall when leaving the Holy Grail. She left an energy seed in Kotomine Kirei's body. As long as this seed was activated, she could control Kotomine Kirei.

Butterfly never expected that she hadn't activated the energy seed in Kotomine Kirei's body yet, and she had already died under Su Xiao's blade. With Butterfly's death, the seed in Kotomine Kirei's body ruptured, which was a charm ability.

This seed ruptured, causing the evil beast in Kotomine Kirei's heart to awaken. He no longer lived according to others' will, but acted according to his own will, so he went to find the old priest and had a long talk with the old priest.

At that time, the old priest's expression could only be described as astonishment. He suddenly discovered that he didn't understand this biological son who was already 27 years old at all.

Therefore, the old priest died. Before turning into dust, the old priest said this sentence: "In the end, I still don't understand you, my..."

The words the old priest didn't say were: my biological offspring.

Kotomine Kirei, who completed the "father-killing" achievement, was very pleased, so he set his sights on the next target, Tohsaka Tokiomi.

With the help of the Heroic King, Kotomine Kirei stabbed Tohsaka Tokiomi in the back, successfully completing the "master-killing" achievement. Possessing "double achievements", Kotomine Kirei was very pleased.

And at this time, Matou Kariya tracked the Heroic King's aura and arrived. This guy wasn't looking for Tohsaka Tokiomi, but was tracking the Heroic King's aura. The Heroic King originally planned to solve him along the way, but after meeting Kotomine Kirei, the Heroic King changed his mind.

When Matou Kariya saw Tokiomi's corpse, he rushed up directly. The result was what Su Xiao saw: Matou Kariya was beheaded, and the corpse was thrown into the fountain pool, creating the illusion that Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Tokiomi died together.

"Do whatever you want, however..."

The Heroic King spoke.

"Find where Berserker is, he must die by my hands."

"Can do."

Kotomine Kirei stood up.

"Kirei, you make me very satisfied, however, don't become the next Tokiomi."

The Heroic King narrowed his eyes, and Kotomine Kirei paused his steps.

"Heroic King, I still have many confusions, but just like you said, a person like me cannot stop."

Kotomine Kirei pulled up his sleeves. His arms were densely covered with Command Spells. These were taken from the old priest.

"Hahaha, Kirei, you guy is really..."

The Heroic King shook his head with a smile. Although Kotomine Kirei was not as servile as Tohsaka Tokiomi, he thought more highly of the other party, because this guy was much more interesting than Tohsaka Tokiomi, not thinking about the Holy Grail all the time.

"Nothing else, I'll go find Berserker's traces."

"Don't take it lightly. With your ability, once he discovers you, it will be your death date."

The Heroic King had an arm cut off by Su Xiao, so he wanted to fight Su Xiao again.

Drip, drip.

Sewage dripped beside Su Xiao's feet. He was in the sewer of Fuyuki City, and the stench was pungent.

"Xiang Bubu, are you sure it's here?"

Su Xiao's brows tightened. Although he didn't care about the dirty sewage around him, the smell in the sewer was too pungent.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang snorted, and it was smoked until its eyes rolled back. With its sensitive sense of smell, Xiang Bubu was like being in a "stench purgatory".

Su Xiao took out a gas mask. The stench in the sewer had exceeded the limit that ordinary humans could endure. This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.

One person and one dog put on gas masks and headed deep into the sewer.

As they gradually penetrated deep into the sewer of Fuyuki City, Su Xiao found that the walls of the sewer were stained with the body fluids of some creature. There were faint Heroic Spirit energy fluctuations in the body fluids, and there was a rich fishy smell of the sea. Even wearing a gas mask, Su Xiao could smell it.

"Can't be wrong. Those two weirdos should be nearby."

Su Xiao was looking for the Master of the Caster faction. This guy was named Uryu Ryunosuke, a teenager who liked to experience death by killing others. Precisely because of this, he inadvertently summoned the Heroic Spirit of the Caster class.

Although Uryu Ryunosuke was a Master, he didn't understand the Holy Grail War at all and basically didn't participate in it.

Su Xiao tracked the traces left by the unknown creature's body fluids. He soon found a dead end in the sewer. In the dead end, several dismembered corpses were scattered. This was a dismemberment scene.

"Have they already left?"

Su Xiao took off his gas mask and checked around the corpses. Since Uryu Ryunosuke had been here and dismembered corpses here, it was not difficult to find something with the other party's smell. After searching, he saw a purple coat stained with large patches of blood in the corner. From the position where the blood was splashed on the coat, it was definitely not left by the few deceased on the ground.

The Slaughter Dagger appeared in his hand. Su Xiao cut a piece of cloth from that purple coat, turned around, and returned the way he came.

Uryu Ryunosuke's vigilance was not high, and his servant Gilles de Rais was not very reliable either.

Su Xiao jumped out of the sewer exit. With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's expression of disgust, he brought that piece of purple cloth to its nose.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang endured the urge to vomit and sniffed.

"Track the smell on the clothes."

"Ugh~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang retched, and tears even flowed out. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's mouth twitched.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, with tears in its eyes, began to track the smell on that piece of cloth. It also knew that time was tight and it was not the time to dislike the smell. One person and one dog began to circle in Fuyuki City.

After searching for a full two hours, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang led Su Xiao to a somewhat remote area in Fuyuki City, stopping in front of a small wooden house by the street. This small wooden house should be a small warehouse.

Shhh-la~

Sounds came from the wooden house, sounding like cutting meat.

Su Xiao closed his eyes to sense the situation around him. There were no Heroic Spirits nearby, only a weak Heroic Spirit energy in the wooden house. That energy was so weak that it could be ignored.

Su Xiao violently pushed open the wooden house's door. In the wooden house, a teenager holding a scalpel was "dissecting" a little girl. The little girl's hands and feet were tied to an iron bed and she was already dead.

The teenager was startled by the sound of the door being pushed open, but he soon calmed down. The scalpel turned in his hand, and cold light flashed.

"Ah, discovered."

The teenager was Uryu Ryunosuke.

"Since you have already discovered me, then you become my next toy. Although I prefer dissecting children."

Uryu Ryunosuke revealed an evil smile, looking Su Xiao up and down. That gaze seemed to be looking for where it was suitable to use a knife. He didn't know where this guy got the confidence.

A white snake quickly crawled toward Uryu Ryunosuke. This was a snake shaped by an alchemy bomb.

The white snake sprang up from the ground, and the triangular snake head rushed into Uryu Ryunosuke's mouth. Uryu Ryunosuke was indeed a Master, but he was just an ordinary person. To kill this guy, Su Xiao didn't even bother to use a blade.

"Woo!"

Uryu Ryunosuke fell to the ground in pain, his hands clutching his throat, his body twitching like a fish on the shore. The white snake shaped by the alchemy bomb completely drilled into his mouth. That was a very painful experience.

Su Xiao turned and left. A Master like Uryu Ryunosuke with no vigilance was the easiest to solve. Not to mention his servant was not nearby, even if he was nearby, Su Xiao could solve the opponent.

Now time was tight, and the truly tricky enemies were still behind. He didn't have time to delay on a small fry like Uryu Ryunosuke.

Boom!

The small wooden house by the street was blown to pieces, wood chips flew, and flames soared into the sky. A scalpel was blown away, finally sticking obliquely into the ground.

Su Xiao glanced at the hidden quest situation. Current number of surviving Masters: 3 people, remaining number of Command Spells: 33.

Su Xiao could have used Uryu Ryunosuke to lure out the Heroic Spirit Gilles de Rais, but the mission time was tight, and he had to find the hiding spots of other Masters as soon as possible.

Taking out the tablet computer from the storage space, don't underestimate Su Xiao's tablet computer used for playing games. This thing belonged to a high-tech product. Invading the network of the Holy Grail world with it was a fool's difficulty.

Su Xiao flipped through the information on the tablet computer. The second Master he was looking for was named Waver Velvet, the Conqueror King's Master.

According to information from the original work, Waver Velvet hypnotized an old couple with magic and stayed in the old couple's home as the grandson of that old couple.

According to information in Su Xiao's memory, that old couple lived in a remote countryside, aged between 70 and 80, and their residence was definitely not far from Fuyuki City; otherwise, it would affect participating in the Holy Grail War.

In this way, the clues were more obvious. The trouble was that the Conqueror King and his Master Waver Velvet were almost inseparable.

"Found it, a small village near Fuyuki City, huh."

For Su Xiao who understood the original work, defeating all Heroic Spirits had some difficulty, but using clues to find the locations of some Masters was not difficult. Of course, old schemers like Emiya Kiritsugu were not included.

As long as he found Waver Velvet, the remaining two Masters could be tracked using the temporary skill, and the probability of completing the hidden quest would increase significantly. ===== CHAPTER 746 =====
