After all, Tokiomi Tohsaka could abandon them once, and he could abandon them a second time. Moreover, with the chat group, the magic heritage of the Tohsaka family was no longer that important to Rin Tohsaka. As long as she accumulated enough points and had time to study and develop, she could easily surpass the ancestors of the Tohsaka family. Under such circumstances, why should she stay in the Tohsaka family?
"Well, this matter is somewhat related to me, so I can't just leave like that. You guys come with me for now, and I'll make arrangements for you."
As Chen Xuan spoke, she waved her hand and cast a spell, and the three of them disappeared from the Tohsaka residence.
"Sigh, I don't know if my decision today was right or wrong."
Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed as he looked at the spot where the three had disappeared.
Chapter 53 Matou no Otoko: It's noon, time to set off.
"here it is."
Rin Tohsaka, who had been forcibly moved from the Tohsaka family, opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, asking in confusion.
"Sister, this seems to be the Matou family's residence."
Sakura Tohsaka looked at the name Matou on the door of the huge Western-style courtyard house in front of her and spoke somewhat timidly.
"This is the Matou family residence. It's quite impressive."
Compared to Sakura Tohsaka's timidity, Rin Tohsaka was much bolder. Upon hearing Sakura's words that this was the Matou family's residence, she curiously looked around.
"Teacher Chen Xuan, what are we doing here?"
Sakura Tohsaka tugged at Chen Xuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice. It seemed that she was afraid that Chen Xuan would abandon her at the Matou family's place after she was teleported there by Chen Xuan.
"Don't worry, I'm just here to pick up some things and find you a teacher to take care of you. Although it's not impossible for me to teach you in my spare time, you probably won't be able to concentrate at all when I'm lecturing."
Chen Xuan patted Sakura Tohsaka's head to comfort her.
"Master Chen Xuan, although the Matou family and the Tohsaka family are both magus families, there shouldn't be any magic that can surpass the memory system you created, right?"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Rin Tohsaka asked in confusion.
After all, just as she said, although the Matou family is also a long-established family of magicians, their inherited butterfly magic is not much better than the Tohsaka family's jewel magic. There shouldn't be any magic in such a family that is worth Chen Xuan's trip.
“I’m not interested in the Matou family’s magic. What I’m interested in are the Command Seals that the Matou family created to control Servants when they built the Holy Grail system. After all, Command Seals are necessary if you want to summon Servants using the Holy Grail system.”
Chen Xuan looked at Rin Tohsaka and explained.
"Master Chen Xuan, are you also going to participate in the Holy Grail War?"
Rin Tohsaka was somewhat surprised by Chen Xuan's explanation.
"No, I have absolutely no interest in all-powerful wish-granting machines. Compared to vague and unrealistic prayers, I have much more faith in the knowledge I gain day and night and the sweat I shed while training my body."
"After all, family, friends, and even the world may betray and deceive you, but the sweat you put into learning and training will never betray you."
As Chen Xuan spoke, she walked towards the front gate of the Matou family's residence.
Chen Xuan had absolutely no interest in the Holy Grail in the Type-Moon universe. Not to mention that he was currently in the Fate/Zero timeline, the Great Grail buried in Fuyuki City had already been corrupted by the evil of this world forcibly imposed on the soul of the special class Servant, Avenger Angra Mainyu, summoned by the Einzbern family during the Third Holy Grail War in this timeline.
This means that even if the Greater Grail's function is distorted, no matter what wish the victor of the Holy Grail War makes, the Greater Grail will only grant it in the most distorted and malicious way.
Furthermore, the essence of most Holy Grails in the Type-Moon universe is nothing more than a crystallization of a massive amount of high-quality magical energy. Although such a large amount of magical energy can theoretically achieve the effects desired by many users, it is only theoretical and cannot actually achieve everything.
Moreover, it's only because the Type-Moon world is currently in the Dharma-ending Age of the Retreat of the Gods that many high-ranking mages or Servants could create the Holy Grail if they put in the effort.
Of course, the Greater Grail buried in Fuyuki City is somewhat different from the ordinary Grail. In addition to being a collection of a large amount of magical energy, it also has the function of enabling the victor to complete the materialization of the soul through the Third Law, thereby achieving immortality, although this function has never been successfully performed.
It was precisely because Chen Xuan understood the true nature of the Holy Grail in the Type-Moon world that she had no interest in the Holy Grail War.
"On such a late night, I wonder what brings you here?"
Just as Chen Xuan approached the Matou family's residence, Zouken Matou, whose body was hunched over, whose skin was dry and shriveled, as if only a layer of skin covered his skeleton, and whose dark eyes gave off a dangerous feeling as if they were bottomless abysses, appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
"The old man is so old, but he's still quite agile."
Chen Xuan looked at Matou Zouken, who had suddenly appeared, and said with great interest.
"I am old and can't compare to you young people."
Zouken Matou smiled at Chen Xuan and then continued.
"By the way, are you here to deliver Sakura on behalf of Shichen? If so, you can hand her over to me."
"Teacher Chen Xuan."
Upon hearing Zouken Matou's words, Sakura Tohsaka instinctively clutched Chen Xuan's clothes and looked at Chen Xuan timidly.
"I'm sorry, Sakura is now my disciple, so I'm afraid she can't be the heir of the Matou family."
Chen Xuan patted Sakura Tohsaka's head to comfort her while speaking to Zouken Matou.
"Now that I've become your apprentice, it is indeed a bit troublesome, but no problem. As long as I kill you, I can continue to obtain Sakura Tohsaka, a reproductive mother with excellent magical talent."
"No, no, this young lady next to you is also quite talented and should be a good mother. Since you brought her, I will take her along as well."
As Zouken Matou finished speaking, a large number of grotesque insects flew out from under Zouken Matou's clothes, flapping their transparent wings and attacking Chen Xuan.
"You're really disgusting, old Deng, for not using the perfectly good butterfly magic and instead turning it into insect magic."
"However, it's a good opportunity to test out the new thing I just learned on you."
业火
Chen Xuan snapped his fingers as he watched the large number of insects fly in. A ball of pitch-black flame appeared out of thin air and then, under Chen Xuan's control, instantly swept away the flying insects. Under the scorching heat contained in the pitch-black flame, all the insects released by Matou Zouken were burned to ashes.
"This is truly excellent fire magic, far superior to that brat Tokiomi Tohsaka's fire magic. But to think you can defeat me with just this is wishful thinking."
Zouken Matou praised Chen Xuan generously as he watched the hellfire she unleashed, but there was no fear in his eyes.
After all, although Chen Xuan's fire magic was much stronger than Tohsaka Tokiomi's, as a magician whose magic attribute was water, even though he was more comfortable using insect magic now, he was still capable of water magic. Water magic was the natural counter to fire magic, so he didn't take Chen Xuan's hellfire seriously at all.
"Really? Then come and see if my flames can extinguish you."
"The arrow of guilt."
Chen Xuan smiled at Zouken Matou's taunts without refuting them, but instead released several arrows formed from jet-black flames, shooting them towards Zouken Matou.
"It's no use. Although I use insect magic, my own magic attribute is water, which makes me a natural nemesis of fire magic."
After speaking, several streams of water appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the incoming fire arrows. Clearly, Zouken Matou intended to use these streams of water to extinguish the flames.
However, just as the water came into contact with the flaming arrow, the scene he had imagined—the water extinguishing the flames—did not occur. Instead, the water he released was instantly evaporated by the flames released by Chen Xuan.
"Hmph, you do have some skill; I underestimated you."
As the released water evaporated, Zouken Matou was also struck by a flaming arrow, his entire body engulfed in flames.
"It's a pity, little brat, that body you possess is merely an avatar of mine. My original body is still perfectly fine, and I can easily create as many avatars as I want. How long can your magic last, especially with two burdens on your shoulders, slave?"
Scorched by flames, Zouken Matou let out a grotesque laugh, mocking Chen Xuan.
"We don't need to hold out for long, because the battle is over."
Chen Xuan shook her head and smiled in response to Matou Zouken's mockery.
"You little brat, you're scared out of your wits! What do you mean the battle is over? The battle was clearly just beginning..."
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Matou Zouken, who was about to retort, suddenly let out a scream. Then, somewhere in Fuyuki City, a man spontaneously combusted.
Chapter 54 The Most Suitable Way for Matou Old Man to Die
"You brat, what have you done?!"
Zouken Matou roared at Chen Xuan.
"It's nothing, I just tested the power I recreated on you."
Chen Xuan chuckled as she looked at Matou Zouken, who was screaming incessantly.
"power?"
Rin Tohsaka looked puzzled when she heard these unfamiliar words.
[Kanroji Mitsuri: What is this power? Is it a new magic developed by Master Chen Xuan?]
Like Rin Tohsaka, Mitsuri Kanroji looked completely bewildered when she heard the word "power".
[Nami: Probably not. Power sounds more powerful than magic.]
Although Nami didn't know what power Chen Xuan was talking about, she instinctively felt that it must be something more powerful than magic.
[Sakura Kinomoto: I just asked Keroberos, and he said this term generally refers to the power possessed by gods, such as the ability of Zeus, the chief god in Greek mythology, to control lightning, which is one of Zeus's powers.]
Meng Wang Ying posted all the answers Xiao Ke had just given her in the group chat.
[Kanroji Mitsuri: I see, so "power" refers to the power possessed by deities.]
[Kanroji Mitsuri: Eh!!!] 287
When Kanroji Mitsuri saw the message from Rimuru Sakura, she was first stunned, then her face lit up with shock.
[Kanroji Mitsuri: Wait, wait, Sakura, you said that powers are only possessed by gods?]
Kanroji Mitsuri asked anxiously in the group chat.
[Sakura Kinomoto: Yes, that's what Koko told me.]
Sakura nodded.
[Kanroji Mitsuri: So that means Master Chen Xuan is now as powerful as a god.]
