Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 59: The Holy Grail War Gradually Approaches Its Finale

On the outskirts of Fuyuki City, at the Cathedral Church.

The cold air filled the chapel, and the continuously flowing blood dripped onto the floor, splashing small scarlet blood flowers.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect that the Church, which claims to be impartial and neutral, would actually betray its responsibilities and personally assist a certain Master to deal with the other contestants..."

A hoarse laugh emanated from the young body on the verge of death, and Matou Zouken spoke in a mocking tone.

Of course, he was not mocking his death, but was trying to use words to buy time so that his hiding body could escape from here as soon as possible.

From the very beginning, Zouken Matou came to the church to seek refuge just to give it a try. After hundreds of years, he was no longer so naive as to think that the Cathedral Church could guarantee his life safety.

All the previous actions were just preparations for the final fake death and escape.

After all, no one knows the secret of the Matou family's magic. As long as he is killed in the body of "Matou Shinji", there is still hope of making a comeback.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Shinji, but I'm not the supervisor of this Holy Grail War right now."

Looking at the still dying Matou Zouken, the joy on Kotomine Kirei's face grew even stronger. He said with regret, "Yesterday, I handed over the position of supervisor to Father Kotomine Risei."

"So, the promise I just made has no validity whatsoever."

"Tsk, you really tricked me." The old bug responded casually, while calmly shifting his gaze to his right hand, which only had one Command Spell left.

According to the contract with Lancelot, the old bug discovered that his servant had not died yet. He was considering whether to use the only remaining command seal to summon him for a final "life-and-death struggle".

After this body dies, the contract with Berserker will be severed anyway, so it might as well be put to good use.

With the help of Berserker, I can get rid of these two people who are in the way, especially the girl who looks very similar to the brat from the Kamiya family...

Although he didn't know why, when he saw the silver-haired girl for the first time, Matou Zouken felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But he hated Kamiya Yu who repeatedly ruined his plans, so he naturally extended this hatred to Kamiya Qion.

However, before Matou Zouken could make a decision, Qiong, who was standing in the corner, raised her hand with an indifferent expression and moved her slender fingers.

A mysterious rune was carved out and then shot into the body of "Matou Zouken".

"—"

In an instant, the old bug felt that the connection between himself and the Command Spell was cut off, and his face turned gloomy.

As the last Valkyrie created, Odin spent a lot of money when transferring knowledge to his daughter - not only did he send her a series of ways to use the original runes, but he also copied his own skills in spearmanship.

"Oh?" Seeing this scene, Kotomine Kirei raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. He didn't expect that Yujun's sister who suddenly appeared was also a magician who was proficient in magic.

However, the mysterious runes that looked somewhat familiar to the other party made Kirei believe that they were really brother and sister.

"Who are you, who are you..." Using all his strength, Matou Zouken asked this question.

But Qiong ignored it, and just slightly turned her cute little face to the side, looking out the open door, and whispered to herself, "My elder brother is here."

As she finished speaking, a slender figure suddenly appeared at the door of the church.

"Sorry, I'm a little late because of Berserker. Are you guys okay?"

Stepping on the silver light scattered around, Kamiya You walked from the door to the believers' seats and said with a gentle expression.

"We are not injured. With your sister's protection, we are safe." Looking at the silver-haired young man who was slowly approaching, Kotomine Kirei shook his head, and then seemed to have thought of something, he asked.

"By the way, Yu-kun, you didn't completely eliminate Berserker, did you?"

"Of course not." Kamiya Yu smiled slightly and explained, "Although it took a hard fight, I still managed to temporarily seal it."

"That's good." Kotomine Kirei nodded, then fell silent, ready to fully appreciate the upcoming wonderful performance.

After all, it was a rare opportunity to see such a pleasant performance, and he didn't want to miss it so easily.

Qiong still maintained a nonchalant look and just stood silently beside Kamiya Yu.

"I told you, you can't escape, Matou Zouken."

Looking at the old bug pierced by a spear in front of him, a gloating expression appeared on Kamiya Yu's handsome face. In his opinion, it was Zouken Matou's own fault that he suffered such an end.

"Oh, don't be too proud, little brat from the Kamiya family. The reason why I ended up like this is just because you took advantage of my opportunity."

Facing Kamiya Yu's ridicule, Matou Zouken showed an extremely disdainful expression and spoke in a weak voice.

"If you lose, you lose. How can you take advantage of the situation?"

As he spoke, Kamiya Yu waved his hand casually, and as the power of Rune emerged, the last Command Seal on the back of "Matou Shinji"'s hand was erased along with Lancelot's contract, and then slowly appeared on the back of his other hand.

"Besides, you have been lingering on for five hundred years, killing so many lives. You should have died long ago."

"Where did you know all this..." Seeing his biggest secret being exposed, Zouken Matou looked at Kamiya Yu in disbelief.

"Why would a dying person need to know so much?" Kamiya Yu curled his lips and stretched out his hand to carve two new runes. "A remnant of the old era like you should just disappear."

boom--!
The scorching flames instantly engulfed Shinji Matou's body, and in just a few seconds, he was burned to ashes.

The other original rune turned into a lightning with a destructive aura, striking towards a corner of the church and directly annihilating the insects that were fleeing madly.

Thus, on the seventh night of the Holy Grail War, Zouken Matou, whose soul had been corrupted by time, ended his sinful life, with no possibility of resurrection at all.
