FWOOSH!!!!

FWOOOSH!!!

FWOOSH!!!!!

...

…

As if answering her, countless shadow tendrils came out of the shadow and attacked the worms. There first targets were giant spider-like worms.

Before those worms could react, these tendrils penetrate through their bodies and came out of the other end.

SCREEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blood-curdling screams of these huge worms resounded in the room.

Zouken watched in horror as all of his Giants worms were being incapacitate and held in the air for everyone to see.

Still, that was not the end. Why? Because...

FWOOSH!!

FWOOSH!!

FWOOSH!!

...

…

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

...

…

In the next moment, the shadows dispersed outwards of the worms, destroying them inside out.

THUD!!!

THUD!!!

...

…

Carcasses of those dead worms fell.

Zouken: You!!!  Just what is you?

Shouted Zouken while looking at the woman who was hugging Primis neck from behind. He could tell that the one controlling these shadows was her instead of Primis.

Nevertheless, the woman didn't bother replying to Zouken. The shadow that was covering the area behind Primis started expanding and engulfed more than half of the room.

BUZZ!!!

BUZZ!!!

...

…

The worms started sensing danger. Hence, almost all the Blade Wing Worms charged at Primis.

Too bad, the moment they were about to reach him, a huge wall of shadow appeared and swallowed all of them.

???: How dare you?

The cold voice of woman scared the sh*t out of Zouken. In the end, he used the best approach to preserve his life and that was flee.

His body burst into many flying worms as they flew out of the room from the hidden escape routes only, he knew off.

Zouken who thought he could run successfully soon faced with a cruel reality. He found out that every single one of the escape routes were already covered with shadows.

Zouken: YOU WITCH!!!

He desperately shouted at the woman who in return ignored him as before.

Noticing that his words were falling into deaf ears, he decided to change his target.

Zouken: "The Black Swordsman". What is the meaning of this? How could you keep a Witch around you? Once this news will spread, your prominence will go down in drain. You will fall in the eyes of everyone.

Primis: .........

Zouken: If you let me go, I will promise to keep this secret. Not only that Matou will be willing to come under and serve you.

Primis: .........…

Zouken: What do you say? It's not bad having one of the three big Magus Family working for you.

Primis: .........…

Zouken: What is your answer, The Black Swordsman? Having allies are better than having enemies.

Primis: ..................…Where is Sakura?

Said Primis while raising his head and looking at swam of worms flying all over the room.

Zouken: Sakura?

Primis: Don't tell me that you don't even know your granddaughter in which you have implanted the piece of corrupted Grail to control Avenger and win this War.

Zouken: ......…

There was a moment of silent before Zouken spoke.

Zouken: So, you even knew that......….........It seems what history said about you is true. There is nothing that can be hidden from you.

Primis: Your answer, Zouken.

Zouken: If I will tell you, will you let me go?

Primis: ...............I will.

Zouken: How could I believe it so easily?

Primis: You have my words. The words of "The Black Swordsman".

Zouken: ............Good. Then I am reassured.

Then after a moment of silence before his voice resounded again.

Zouken: I planned to awaken the Avenger inside Sakura. But since today, I can't contact her. It's happening ever since that blue pillar fell on her academy. In other words, she died. Along with Shinji.

Primis: ...............I see.

Zouken: That's also why I must change my plans from winning the Grail to 'asking' for your help.

Primis: That's too bad then.

Zouken: I know, right.

Primis: Thanks, Zouken. So, now.........…you are no longer needed.

SWOOSH!!!!!!!!

The Shadow increased at the rapid pace and covered 90% of the room in an instant. Almost all the worms got swallowed before Zouken could even react.

Zouken: "THE BLACK SWORDSMAN"!!!!  ARE YOU GOING BACK ON YOUR WORDS!!!!

Primis: Not really. I always keep my words.

Zouken: THEN WHY ARE THESE SHADOWS NOT STOPPING!!!!

Primis: Because you lied to me, Zouken.

Zouken: Lied to you?

Primis: Sakura Matou is still alive. And currently she is at the location of Greater grail. And you clearly know about it. After all, your main body or worm is inside her heart and could see everything that was going around her.

Zouken: ............You!  How do you----

[Idiot. Primis was bluffing when he said that. But your words clearly confirmed it.]

[Truly a fool.]

Primis: As you said before, nothing could be hidden from me.

Zouken: ............…

Primis: I am sure you must have been surprised when some unknown people came out of nowhere and captured her. It must be shocking, right. About how they knew everything about the corrupted grail being implemented inside her to control Avenger and...

Showing a mocking expression, Primis continued.

Primis: How they knew of you being hidden inside her heart. They brought her at the site of the Greater Grail, took out your main body and killed it. Current you are just a remanent of your soul and mind. You know that if this keeps up, you will fade in just a few days. That's why you are so desperate looking for a way to live.

Zouken: ...I-If you know all of t-this, why do y-you come here?

Primis: I came to check whether you are still somewhat alive or not. That's all.

Looking at the remaining uncovered area.

Primis: Now that I know you are alive, it's time to put you rest.

'Primis: This answer all of my questions. Apostles rarely do capture Sakura before that blue spear of power fell on the academy. And they even killed the main worm Zouken hidden inside Sakura's heart.'

[You're right. By the way, how do you realize that the main worm Zouken is dead.]

'Primis: That's because even in plot when Kirie used the soul-destroying move on Zouken, he didn't try to resist and accepted his death calmly. The reason was because Zouken knew that he will live since his main body was inside Sakura. However, this time, seeing how his fate is already reaching end along with how he is afraid and panicking, it's obvious that these worms here are the last thing keeping him alive.

[So that's how it is.]

Primis: End it.

Once Primis voice fell, the shadow moved at an extreme pace and enveloped the entire room.

Zouken: THE BLACK SWORDSMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zouken sorrowful scream resounded before he was swallowed by the Shadow.

Zouken opened his eyes and saw the boundless shadow all around him. He tired to move but it was extreme taxing, and he could barely do anything. His head started to hurt as the events of this lifelong journey were being played in his mind nonstop. From all his planning to utter failure.

It was fine if it just once, but after his failure, he was made to experience the same thing again. And again. And again. And again. Like an infinite loop.

He tried to struggle, to scream but all of that was in vain. That's because not only was he watching it like a movie but was also experiencing everything that was having in those loops.

After going through thousands of those loops, his spirit broke and he started asking for death on his own accord.

Yet, the death never came. He kept on experiencing that over and over.

After Hundreds of Thousands of loops, his mind broke as he became mad. He kept on laughing, shouting, and screaming like a madman.

Yet, the death never came. He kept on experiencing tha...…

After Millions of loops, he gave up and just accept his fate. He just kept on following his script.

Yet, the death never came. He kep.........…

After Tens of Millions loops, he just became a robot without any emotions or desire. The robot whose only work was to follow the commands that had been implemented in it.

Yet, the death never came.........…

This was his new reality. This was his life. This was his death.

To remain living while being dead inside, in this boundless Shadow.

.

Primis was standing in the boundless Shadow that had enveloped everything the room. Still, instead of feeling repulsive or disgust, he felt comfortable in it. Because he knew that the Shadow will never harm him.

The woman who was hugging him from behind was speaking loving words in his ears.

???: I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you......

Primis moved one of his hands and touch the face of woman. He started caressing her cheeks extremely gently and spoke.

Primis: Thank you, Satella.

The woman, or Satella stopped her words at that. Next, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

Compared to Zouken or his worms, Primis could see Satella face clearly.

Satella moved her head forward a little and kissed at the corner of Primis lips.

Satella: Chu~

Then she moved back and whispered one last time in Primis ear.

Satella: I will do anything for you.

With this, she along with all her shadows returned into Primis Shadow.

Now, Primis was the only one left in this now empty room.

[Phew. She is gone. It must have been hard controlling a Yandere.]

'Primis: Not really.'

[*sigh* That's because you handle her perfectly.]

Primis: What happened, Darkrai? You have something to say.

Said Primis all of sudden. A second later, an eerie blue eye opened in his Shadow this time.

{Darkrai: It's nothing, Master. It's just............…I never expected there seems to be someone else living in your Shadow along with me. Not only did I never met her before even now I can't find or sense where she went.}

{Primis: Think of it like this. If my Shadow is a house, then you are living in one of its rooms and she is living in another. You both can see what is going on outside but so long you don't open the door of your room for others, you can't meet each other.}

{Darkrai: I see......So, can I meet her?}

{Primis: She is not someone who like to interact with others. In case you want to talk to her, you must wait for her to take the initiate.}

[Which is Impossible because the only person she loved to talk is you.]

{Darkrai: Ok, Master.}

With this, the eye closed and Primis turned to leave the room.

[Good thing that Satella was still busy absorbing the piece of Divine power you sent to her at the time Berserker attacked. Otherwise, I am sure if she was awake that time then she would have absorbed him in her Shadow too.]

'Primis: That's true. Though she really absorbed it faster compared to others.'

[Must be because since her Shadow has the swallowing property, absorbing it was not that big of a deal for her.]

'Primis: I also have the same thought.'

[Nevertheless, you must be on guard all the time. Now that she is awake, she will for sure attack those you will try to insult or attack you......... That's the consequences for getting a Yandere.'

'Primis: I know.'

.

.

.

CREAK!!!

The door opened and Primis walked to the surface.

Ophis, Beatrice, and even Medusa could be seen standing outside while waiting for him.

Though, he noticed that all of them were looking at the person in front with their guard up.

???: So, it's really you.

Suddenly, Primis heard a cold unfamiliar voice. Yet, he could perceive a different emotion hidden in that voice.

Walking forward, he saw the person.

It was woman with cold eyes. Yet, she was smiling while looking at him. And that smile was...

[Oh boy. Primis, you really are magnet for troublesome woman. Look at her eyes and that smile. Even I can tell that this woman is obsessed of you.]

'Primis: What a pain.'

Sighed Primis inwardly while looking at the woman. She was woman wearing black-blue dress with a black Demonic Spear in hand. Her face resembled 80% of Artoria's, though she had cold blue-eyes and bluish-white hair compared to Artoria.

Primis: I suppose you are the servant summoned to take care of the Invaders.............................................… Morgan le Fay.
