Zouken Matou's body was split in two, the blood mingling with a putrid stench, and flowing out were not only blood but also various insects.
Even though his body was broken in two, there was no sign of pain on Zang Yan's face.
"You think your appearance can kill me? No, you can't kill me."
Zouken Matou is currently relatively calm because he knows that even if he destroys his body, he won't die.
Because his true form had long since merged with Sakura.
Neither Otosaka Souji nor the mysterious heroine X responded to him.
The mysterious heroine X, upon seeing Zouken Matou, who was not quite dead yet, began a journey of dismemberment with her sword.
The sword light was impenetrable, and the once intact corpse was instantly reduced to pieces.
While the mysterious heroine X was being dismembered, Otosaka Souji was also taking action.
Otosaka Souji unleashed a 100,000-volt attack, turning all the insects around and on Matou Sakura into ashes.
Without the insects to cover her, Matou Sakura revealed her ivory-white body with holes.
A gentle and hopeful voice rang in the girl's ear.
"It's alright now, and it won't happen again."
The girl's eyes were no longer gray.
Looking at Otosaka Souji, her eyes glistened with hopeful tears.
"Really!"
The girl's voice was very hoarse, indicating that she must have suffered a lot.
"It's true, I assure you."
As he spoke, Otosaka Souji conjured a garment in his hand and draped it over Matou Sakura's shoulders.
He picked her up and carried her outside.
Matou Sakura did not struggle, but calmly and cooperatively allowed Otosaka Souji to pick her up.
After defeating Zouken Matou, the mysterious heroine X approached Souji Otosaka and said...
"Master, I've already eliminated that disgusting magician and chopped him into dust."
"No, he's not completely dead yet, but I have a way to eliminate him."
The mysterious heroine X looked at Matou Sakura, who was being held in Otosaka Souji's arms, and said.
"Master, what about her?"
“Take it back and give it to Caster; she should have a way.”
Just after Otosaka Souji left, dark clouds gathered over the Matou family's residence.
"boom--"
A torrent of lightning descended from the sky, annihilating the entire Matou family; not a single life could escape its grasp.
After the dark clouds dissipated, only a scene of devastation and carbonized ruins remained.
The marking insects in the basement were all wiped out by the lightning.
If Shinji Matou saw this scene, he would be very glad that he wasn't home today, otherwise he would also have turned into a pile of ashes.
Because of the commotion, this scene was witnessed by many people.
All the other Masters and Servants in the Holy Grail War also saw it.
Rin Tohsaka, who happened to witness it, said with an incredulous expression.
"What is that?!"
After Rin Tohsaka realized what was happening, she discovered that it was in the direction of the Matou family's residence.
Thinking that her younger sister Sakura was at the Matou family's house, Rin Tohsaka called out to Archer and rushed towards the Matou family's house.
When she arrived, the once magnificent Matou family was gone, leaving only ruins.
Seeing this scene, Rin Tohsaka felt utterly hopeless and said through gritted teeth.
"Damn it, what on earth happened here? Could Sakura have already...?"
Gilgamesh, the golden-haired god, saw the thunder and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Looks like there's been quite a show today! What do you think, Kirei Kotomine?"
Kirei Kotomine responded to Gilgamesh's words with a delighted expression.
"The show's about to start! But it'll be a long time coming! This time, the Servant should be very powerful."
Gilgamesh looked disdainful when he heard Kirei Kotomine say that others were strong.
"Tch, they're all clowns who only deserve to perform in front of me."
Otosaka Souji returned to Ryudouji Temple and handed Matou Sakura, whom he was holding, to Medea.
"Medea, there is an old worm inside her body. I hope you can find it and cure her."
"Yes, Master, I know what to do."
Medea took Matou Sakura from Otosaka Souji's arms and carried her into her magic workshop.
First, they used magic to examine Matou Sakura's body.
They discovered that Matou Sakura's body was in a terrible state, filled with insect eggs and dead insects.
Some nerves were even replaced by insects.
"Master, her condition is quite serious, but I am still confident."
After understanding the situation, Medea prepared to begin treatment.
As Medea began to heal with magic, Matou Sakura let out a painful cry.
Medea said to Matou Sakura.
"Just bear with it, it'll be over soon."
As the eggs and worms are continuously eliminated and expelled from the body, the nerves are also being repaired.
At that moment, a slender, white hand reached out from the air and accurately grasped the Crest Worm hidden in Matou Sakura's heart.
This engraved insect is the true form of Zouken Matou, the flying insect that carries his final soul.
"Found it, Master."
The engraving insect, possessing the soul of Zouken Matou, continues to struggle.
"Damn it, let me go!"
"I can't die yet, I haven't fulfilled my dream."
But having lost his body and become an insect, Zouken Matou was unable to break free from the shackles of magic.
A bolt of lightning shot from Otosaka Souji's eye, striking Matou Zouken and extinguishing his last vestige of soul.
"How pathetic!" The ethereal voice rang in the ears of Zouken Matou, whose soul was about to dissipate.
