Chapter 2: Old Bugs

Su Xiao looked around the situation in the basement, just when he first entered this derivative world, there was a malicious gaze staring at him, and after seeing the owner of that gaze, Su Xiao roughly guessed what was going on.

This time he replaced the Beerker (Berserker) class, which was Lancelot who had fought before.

Killing Lancelot, Su Xiao didn't get any reward, it was a test, killing Lancelot would replace the opponent's class, and if he couldn't kill it, he would be trapped in the enchantment forever.

The derivative world Su Xiao entered this time is not small, but the battle field is not large, just a city, and the main line of the story is simple.

200 years ago, in order to achieve the "root", which is the dream of all magicians, the three magic families joined forces to summon the Holy Grail, a "universal machine" that can realize any dream.

There are three magic families involved in this matter, but there is only one Holy Grail, so the contradiction between the three families has intensified.

After a series of competitions, the three companies agreed to use a small-scale competition to determine the ownership of the Holy Grail.

The first Holy Grail War was officially launched, and the rules at that time were not perfect. The three magic families fought extremely fiercely, but they all ended in failure.

Just after the first Holy Grail War came to an end, 60 years later, another new Great Holy Grail is about to appear.

In the second time, the rules of the Holy Grail War are more perfect, and the impact on the world pattern is smaller.

But the three major families are still unruly. Although the 'Command Spell System' has been completed, this Holy Grail War still ended in failure.

In this way, the Great Holy Grail War is held every sixty years, and the rules are getting better and better.

Time has passed to the present, which is the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Today's Holy Grail War has detailed rules, the rules are as follows.

1. Absorb magic power from the ley lines (preliminary composition of the Great Holy Grail).

2. After selecting the Master (which has stored enough magic power to summon seven Servants, the Great Holy Grail will select a magician who is suitable to become a Master, and grant the 'Omen' mark. The candidates must quickly start to summon the Servant. preparations for the ceremony).

3. Summoning Ritual (Summoning a Servant requires complex magic rituals. It goes without saying that the heroic spirit as the prototype and the summoner are related in spirit and body, and the most important thing is to have a deep connection or medium with the heroic spirit. Summoning a Servant is a human power. The unreachable ritual can be made possible with the help of the Great Holy Grail).

4. The Great Holy Grail Link

5. Engrave the Command Spell for the Master

6. Summon Servant

Contract with Servant

8. The war begins

9. Recover the soul of the Servant who died in battle

10. Open the way to the 'root'

To put it simply, seven magicians were selected by the Great Holy Grail, and then Servants (servants, heroic spirits) were summoned to fight, and the magician who finally won was awarded the Holy Grail.

As for the seven heroic spirits, in principle, these seven heroic spirits must die, because the Holy Grail needs their souls to be filled.

Although Su Xiao appeared as a heroic spirit, he did not have most of the characteristics of heroic spirits. He was a pseudo heroic spirit. Except for his strength, his soul had nothing to do with the Holy Grail, and his life and death had nothing to do with the appearance of the Holy Grail.

Compared with Reincarnation Paradise, the ability of the Great Holy Grail is not worth mentioning.

Su Xiao has his own body, so he can exist without the supply of magic power, but once Matou Kariya dies, Su Xiao's stay in the Holy Grail World will be greatly reduced, and if he stays for a maximum of 2 days, he will be forced to return.

Now I don't know what the main quest is, and the talent awakening quest is about to be activated. Once it is forced to return, the loss is extremely heavy.

Now that Su Xiao has replaced the Berserker (Berzy Warrior) class, if there is no contractor with similar strength to him, other heroic spirits can appear normally.

Moreover, if there is a contractor with similar strength to Su Xiao, he will not become a pseudo-heroic spirit.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao has a general understanding of the current situation. Although he is a pseudo-heroic spirit, Matou Kariya cannot have any influence on him. As for the three Command Spells in the opponent's hand, they are used to control a dead heroic spirit. .

If Su Xiao doesn't see Matou Kariya in the right eye, he can kill the other party, as long as he can find a new magic power supplier, considering that there are not many magicians in the Holy Grail world, Su Xiao plans to save the other party's life first.

Su Xiao retracted his gaze towards Matou Kariya, Matou Kariya relaxed and gasped, being stared at by Su Xiao was by no means a good experience.

"Then, let's deal with you first."

Su Xiao raised his left arm, and his hand wrapped in the metal armguard was holding a monster, which wanted to burrow into his flesh when he first walked out of the space crack.

With two fingers, with a puff, the fat worm full of fangs was crushed into flesh.

Su Xiao looked at the old man who was gradually retreating in the basement. He knew the information of this old guy. His name was Matou Zouken, the patriarch from One of the three major magic families, the Matou family, who had lived for 500 years.

Although magicians in the Holy Grail world can master some supernatural abilities, it is amazing to live more than 500 years.

The reason why Matou Zouken can live for 500 years is because he abandoned his original body and manipulated magic insects to form a body, that is, he transformed himself into a carved insect.

Standing in the basement, the Matou Zouken looked like an old man, but it was just a skin bag, a rotten and smelly skin bag that was about to be damaged by insects.

The way of longevity of Matou Zouken is somewhat similar to that of Orochimaru in Naruto World, but the method used by Orochimaru is much higher.

Orochimaru separates its own soul and enters a new physical container. If the container is broken, it will be replaced with a new container.

And Matou Zouken is to turn his body into engraved insects, and these insects also need to live in the human body, but this method will cause the soul to gradually wither.

It used to be that Matou Zouken only needed to be replaced every few decades, but now it needs to be replaced every few months.

Matou Zouken is eager to get the Great Holy Grail, the reason is very simple, immortality.

Inside the basement.

Su Xiao stepped up to Matou Kariya and wiped his hand stained with the insect corpse on the other party's clothes. The corners of Matou Kariya's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to move.

"I don't know who this heroic spirit is? Although there seems to be an error in the ceremony, our Matou family will help you win the Holy Grail War."

Matou Zouken, who found that the situation was not right, stopped backing away, intending to negotiate with Su Xiao.

"That bug...is it yours?"

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, and Matou Zouken also smiled.

"This is caused by the magic circuit of the Matou family. Inuko's magic talent is not good, so he can only..."

boom!

Just as Matou Zouken was about to throw the pot at Matou Kariya, there was an explosion.

Zheng.

A pale blue blade appeared, and a withered head flew up.

With a thud, the head fell to the ground, and Matou Zouken's headless corpse fell to the ground.

"This..."

Matou Kariya on the side was full of disbelief, because it was too easy for Matou Zouken to die.

"The speed is good, and the swordsmanship is sharp enough. Even compared to the Saber (sword knight) class, it's not too conceited."

On the ground, the head of Matou Zouken opened.

"Don't think that magicians can't fight heroic spirits, whether the Holy Grail or heroic spirits, in the final analysis, they are all summoned or formed by us magicians."

Matou Zouken's head sneered, and cracks began to appear on that withered face.

With a humming sound, a large number of winged engraved insects rushed out of Matou Zouken's body, and the damaged skin on the ground had long since dried up and shattered.
