Abnormal Moon

The remaining Masters are himself, Rin Tohsaka, Jiemon, and the Matou family Master who has not yet appeared. As for Servants, although Heracles and Cú Chulainn are gone, there are still corrupted Saber and corrupted Berserker, who are still formidable enemies.

Roy pondered his next move.

at this time.

"Boom——!"

Suddenly, a loud roar came from not far away.

A mushroom cloud was visible to the naked eye as it rose from the spot, and a gust of wind swept in, making even the two people in this open space feel a strong wind blowing in their faces.

"A trap set by the Magic Association?"

Roy snapped out of his daze, his expression turning cold.

"Impossible! I chose this place myself, and I didn't let anyone touch the letters!"

Bazett was also taken aback.

She really wanted to win, that's true, but she only wanted to settle things one-on-one with Roy and would never resort to dirty tricks.

"The scale of that explosion doesn't seem like something an ordinary magician could do; it might be a Servant!"

"Servant?"

Roy's gaze sharpened.

Come to think of it, Rin Tohsaka's house seems to be in this area?

Could it be possible...?

…………

Villa area.

The tranquility we were once so proud of has vanished, replaced by an atmosphere as turbulent as boiling water.

The dark shadows clashed with the red-clad Servants, each collision a dazzling spectacle.

Rin Tohsaka stood in her own yard, which was covered by a barrier.

Opposite her was an elderly woman in a kimono with a hunched back.

Very familiar.

It looks very familiar.

"The Matou family really has no one left, those old geezers."

Rin Tohsaka stared at the hunched old man, her eyes filled with icy hatred.

"Did you deliberately appear here because you've finally realized the countless sins you've committed and want to die at my hands to atone for them?"

"Heh, brat, even if I am guilty, it's not up to you to judge me."

The hunched old man's voice was hoarse.

He was dressed in a dark blue kimono, his limbs were withered like a mummy, he held a cane, his face was shriveled and his bones were protruding, his whole body looked like an insect and smelled of decay.

He looked like he was on his deathbed and could die at any moment, but his eyes were sharp and bright.

Can't go wrong.

This old man was none other than Matou Zouken, the head of the Matou family, who had disappeared for three years.

"I guess so."

Rin Tohsaka stared at Zouken Matou, her eyes devoid of emotion, only filled with murderous intent.

"However, you dare to attack me with just the weakest Assassin? Should I assume you're senile?"

"Haha, bark all you want, but you're dead tonight, you little brat from the Tohsaka family!"

Zouken Matou let out a hoarse laugh, his tone suggesting he had everything under control.

"This old geezer thinks he can take me down?"

Rin Tohsaka appeared to want to kill him, but she was actually very calm inside.

“His Servant is the weakest Assassin. The Assassin class can only be the Hassan of each generation, so his strength shouldn’t be that great. That Assassin was obviously suppressed by my Archer, so where does he get his confidence?”

Not far away, Red A fired an arrow, blasting Assassin into a frenzy all over the field.

"Having lurked for so long before revealing myself, how could I possibly only have this one card to play?"

A strange smile appeared on Zouken Matou's face.

Chapter 63 Flaw

Villa area.

In the dim, lightless night, the faint sounds of clashing swords could be heard, sending chills down one's spine. A large number of familiars hovered in the sky, taking in the night view of Fuyuki City.

Tohsaka House.

Rin Tohsaka is confronting Zouken Matou.

Zouken Matou did not die, which was regrettable, but not unexpected for Rin Tohsaka.

But when she thought about how her family had been kept in the dark by him for more than ten years, and how her sister had suffered unjustly, Rin Tohsaka wished she could kill him as soon as possible.

Although she wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces, Rin Tohsaka remained remarkably calm, to the point that even she found it infuriating.

Upon hearing his so-called trump card, she secretly became wary and prepared to use Command Spells to summon Archer back to protect her at any time.

Fortunately, Roy gave her a Command Seal, which gave her the ability to summon a Servant to save her life. Otherwise, with just her own Command Seal, she might have lost her life tonight.

"If you really have a backup plan, you might as well call it out now, otherwise your Assassin will pay the price for your bluff!"

Rin Tohsaka squinted, staring intently at Zouken Matou with a forced smile.

She had another question in her mind.

Why did Zouken Matou target him the moment he reappeared after three years?

Although it's a bit much to say this, it was Roy and Aozaki Aoko who destroyed the Matou family three years ago. Why didn't this old geezer go after Roy, but instead set his sights on him? Is it because he's afraid of Aozaki Aoko's reputation as a mage?

"Hehe, if Assassin dies, this old man will also be troubled."

Zouken Matou put on a respectful smile, but even an ordinary person could see through his fakeness at a glance. His hypocrisy made Rin Tohsaka want to vomit.

"Then, Your Majesty, please appear!"

behind him.

Black mist appeared, and a chilling killing intent spread out, its tangible, bone-chilling coldness sending shivers down one's spine.

A dark figure emerged from within, the sound of its armor clashing crisply yet jarringly.

Fully armed, Black Saber, King Arthur Artoria Pendragon, appeared before Rin Tohsaka.

"Dark Saber?! What's she doing here?!"

Rin Tohsaka stared in disbelief at the appearance of the corrupted Saber, completely caught off guard.

The exorcism barrier of Fuyuki City still stands outside the city walls. Although it is damaged, it shows no signs of disappearing. Theoretically, corrupted Servants should not be able to enter!

"Little girl from the Tohsaka family, what do you think I did during the three years I disappeared?"

Zouken Matou's dark and smug laughter rang out.

"The exorcism barrier in Fuyuki City is indeed powerful, but this level is by no means the work of a mage at full strength. That old man must have had some special considerations, using ley lines as a source of magic. I have lived in Fuyuki City for hundreds of years, and my understanding of ley lines far surpasses that of an immature little girl like you, hahaha!"

Rin Tohsaka looked grim.

She kept calling for Archer to come back in her heart.

At the same time, her mind raced, and she basically understood Zouken Matou's actions and purpose.

Rin Tohsaka is a magician who became a magician later in life.

That's not quite accurate. Before her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, passed away, he had already organized all the Tohsaka family's magic for her. However, Tokiomi died too early and didn't have time to teach her step by step. Over the past ten years, Rin Tohsaka could only learn on her own and grow to where she is now.

While learning the magic left by her father, she also schemes against the Magic Association and bears the guilt of the three founding families for bringing great disaster to the world.

Rin Tohsaka is a genius, and the fact that she has grown to this point in just ten years proves that. However, the essence of magic is the accumulation of knowledge. Firstly, she has no one to teach her, and secondly, she is too young, so her shortcomings are too great.

If it were a direct confrontation, the weakened Matou Zouken would definitely not be a match for Tohsaka Rin. However, Matou Zouken used his rich experience and knowledge to strike at her weakness and targeted the exorcism barrier. He probably tampered with the ley lines and let the corrupted Saber into the castle.

No wonder we couldn't find the corrupted Saber after that night; it turns out she was taken into the city by Zouken Matou.

Thinking about it this way, the damage to the spirit-repelling barrier might also be the work of Zouken Matou.

As evidence, the barrier was first damaged on the day the corrupted Servant appeared, which suggests that Zouken Matou had already planned everything by then.

Although she guessed that the barrier might be damaged due to a problem with the ley lines, she had no time to check the ley lines and thus put it aside. As a result, Zouken Matou succeeded. This was an open conspiracy, and the outcome was destined from the beginning.

And now these two are targeting her, most likely to break the spirit barrier.

Once she dies, who controls the exorcism barrier, the barrier will be left unattended, and the corrupted Saber can storm into the city without much effort.

At that time, no one will be able to fight against the corrupted Saber who possesses the Lesser Grail!

"Would the mighty King Arthur of Britain really collude with such a rotten-to-the-bone magician?"
