Chapter 99 The battle on the other side
The sounds resounded in the dark jungle, crawling on the ground, clinging to the trees, and flying in the sky.
Even though the basement where Matou Zouken used to raise bugs had been destroyed by Dun, the number of engraved bugs gathered here exceeded tens of thousands.
Failure is not allowed, failure is not allowed.
Although there is a pseudo-Holy Grail with the Holy Grail fragments transplanted into it, because the production process is different from Einzbern's, the fake Small Holy Grail does not have the ability to make the Holy Grail truly come.
Matō Zouken must capture the real Little Holy Grail, Einzbern's artificial man, Illyasviel.
However, with Du En guarding him, he had no chance to make a move.
After all, the servants he had were not the kind of beings who were good at frontal combat. Being able to defeat Cu Chulainn as a lancer was just a fluke, and he could do so by borrowing something that overflowed from the false Little Holy Grail.
Matou Zouken's original idea was to start with Saber, whose master was a half-assed master, then Archer, and then Doon, who was a berserker.
As for the existence that appeared in Liudong Temple that day, he was afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Because, the existence for the first time was beyond his expectation. Even though the entire Fuyuki City was covered with his marking bugs, he didn't find out how the servant appeared.
What surprised Matou Zangyan was that the lancer, which had been devoured and digested by his lovely granddaughter, could actually be summoned again.
The root cause is probably because his lovely granddaughter's talent for "imaginary numbers" was destroyed by him before she even showed it.
It just so happened that Dune, who was a berserker, fought with Saber and Archer again. With the idea of picking up the heads, Matou Zouken appeared here.
Although Duen's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations, and he actually defeated Saber and Archer without any injuries, but with the pseudo-Holy Grail as the source of magic power, which was the same as Illya, and with the help of what overflowed from the pseudo-Holy Grail, Ku
Qiulin successfully resisted the strongest Duen.
As a result, the scale of victory began to tilt towards him.
Now, the only troublesome thing around Illya is Bazett as the executor, but assassin, as the servant, could lose against a mere human.
As for the little girl from the Tohsaka family, Matou Zangyan didn't take her seriously at all.
"Leave that servant to me."
It was clear that there would be no benefit in procrastinating any longer. This was Matou Zōyan's home court, and Bazett had to make a choice.
Whether it is Illya or Tohsaka Rin, it is impossible to win the Assassin as a servant alone. From the pursuit just now, it can be seen that this assassin hidden under the cloak is extremely agile.
Not inferior to the cavalry rider we met before.
"It doesn't matter, just leave it to me."
The broken strands of hair were given life in the hands, intertwined and combined with each other, forming complex three-dimensional objects like rattan handicrafts. Five white cranes guarded Illya like knights.
At the same time, with the injection of magic power, several huge bulges appeared on the ground, and golems made entirely of rocks appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the marking insects on both sides.
The so-called magic is a miracle performed by magic power.
As the Little Holy Grail, Illya possesses huge magical power, which is enough for her to perform magic smoothly without knowing the specific process.
Just like the golem, although it looks like a big ugly figure to Illya, it can be easily operated by injecting magic power and giving it a core.
Since we are facing disgusting bugs, just crush them all.
However, the magic that can be easily constructed in the past has an incongruous feeling today, as if the circuit of magic power is blocked by something.
"Has all the pollution there affected here?"
Some worry swept across the distance, but now, she could only believe that Duen would bring her victory as always.
The appearance of the golem sounded the clarion call for the battle to begin, and the engraved insects scattered throughout the jungle were like a tide rushing towards Illya and the others.
Four golems stood in front, resisting the marking bugs coming from the front. Three white crane knights acted as snipers to kill the fish that slipped through the net while resisting threats from the sky. The remaining two white crane knights surrounded Yili as insurance.
Beside Ya.
The lightning strike defense system Du En prepared for her at the beginning has been destroyed by Medusa. Although the Fur of the Divine Beast can resist the threat of weapons or other man-made props, it is helpless against attacks by creatures like the Marking Insect.
Facing the overwhelming influx of engraved insects, the demon at the front would collapse almost every ten seconds, and then be summoned again by Illya.
Illya did not stand still, but consciously ran towards the road.
The loose soil in the jungle is easily exploited by the Marking Insect. Although it can withstand threats from the front, it is somewhat passive against attacks from the ground.
Concrete roads are not so easily damaged, and the spacious space can provide her with some reaction time in the face of danger.
Ever since the fact that Duen was able to speak was revealed, he has been coaching Illya on how to deal with battles from time to time.
It's not that the combat information that Einzbern instilled was useless, it's just that when dealing with first-class, or even super-first-class magicians, that knowledge seems a bit urgent.
Illya's advantage is that she can connect with Fuyuki's Holy Grail system and obtain magic power from Fuyuki City's ley lines.
Therefore, in Fuyuki City, Illya's ability is equivalent to that of a top magician.
However, as an old monster that has lived for five hundred years, Matou Zouken's strength should not be underestimated. With tens of thousands of marking insects, if he were an ordinary magician like Emiya Shirou, he probably wouldn't even be able to put up a decent resistance.
If you fail to do so, you will be killed.
Having been operating in Fuyuki City for two hundred years, no one is more familiar with the flow of the city's leylines than Matou Zouken. As long as he is given a little time, he can even use marking insects to block the connection between Illya and Fuyuki's leylines.
In this way, Illya, who is already at a disadvantage, will definitely fall into a worse situation.
This is the reason why Illya keeps running. As long as Matou Zangyan is not given a chance to block the connection between her and the earth line, she will not be defeated so easily.
However, Ilia has always relied on familiars and other props to move, and coupled with Illya's own physical flaws, Illya's lack of physical strength will be exposed once she exercises strenuously.
"Ha...hu...ha..."
Panting heavily, the battle on Duen's side took away almost half of her magic power. If she provided magic power to four golems and five crane knights, this was almost her limit.
Therefore, Illya couldn't even draw out the magic power to create a familiar, so she could only rely on her legs to escape.
"There is no way to escape my grasp, little girl of the Einzbern family."
Matou Zouken's hoarse laughter sounded in the jungle. She had no idea where Matou Zouken's body was hidden, so Illya could only casually shoot a magic bullet at the swarm of insects in the distance.
"Snapped!"
The insect shot by the magic bullet exploded into a piece of insect slurry, but Matou Zangyan's laughter did not stop.
"It's a pity that you guessed wrong. Do you want to give it a try? Find my true body among the tens of thousands of imprinting insects."
"Hmph, for a guy like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death, his true body must be hidden in a completely safe place."
Dismissing Matou Zōyan's words, Illya did not believe that Matō Zōyan would put his body in these engraved insects.
"Haha, after all, I have been almost killed by your followers twice in a row. Of course, I have to be cautious. I am really looking forward to your reaction when you see your followers become enemies."
"Snapped!"
A dead branch was trampled by Illya, and Matou Zangyan's words finally revealed some flaws in Illya.
She is not as confident and careless as she thought. She knows better than others what kind of existence Du En is facing.
Therefore, she was very afraid, very afraid that Du En would suddenly disappear, and very afraid that the most important Berserker would become an enemy and show an indifferent expression towards her.
The flaw revealed at this moment was caught by Matou Zangyan.
"The Holy Grail of the Einzbern family, I will..."
Several engraved insects broke out of the ground and attacked Illya, and Matou Zangyan's voice became louder again.
However, before he could finish his words, a red figure suddenly broke in. Several gems shone brightly in the air, and then all the marking insects that attacked Illya were blown away.
"It's so noisy, it's too late to stop now, otherwise, as the manager of Fuyuki's leyline, I will never let you go, even if you are the grandfather of that guy Shenji."
Tohsaka Rin's figure finally appeared in front of Illya.
