"This is the private territory of the Matou family. Aren't you afraid of making the entire Matou family your enemy by invading here?" Zouken Matou intended to first use words to get information from Meruem. He would not take the initiative to attack without 100% certainty.
"Is that so?" Meruem said, pretending to be a little hesitant.
But the one who reacted the most to Meruem's hesitation was not Zouken Matou, but Sakura in Meruem's arms. She held onto Meruem's clothes tightly, afraid that Meruem would abandon her.
"Yes, the girl in your arms is a member of the Matou family. Hand her over to me quickly. I can let bygones be bygones." Zouken Matou seemed to not hear that Meluam was teasing him, and instead looked greedily at Sakura in Meluam's arms.
For Zouken Matou, who seeks immortality, Sakura is a very good vessel.
And Sakura, in Meruem's arms, held on even tighter.
"Don't worry, I won't hand you over to him." Meruem said softly to Sakura's ear. However, Sakura did not let go because she heard Meruem's words, but clenched her fists even tighter.
"My father said the same thing back then." Sakura murmured in a voice that she thot only she could hear.
Of course, Meruem heard everything clearly with his ears, but he didn't know why Meruem's heart ached for no reason.
It's all the fault of the time!
"You dare to play me!" Zouken Matou was enraged after seeing Meruem's intention.
Countless engraving insects swarmed toward Meruem.
One thousand? Ten thousand? The density of the insects was at least ten thousand.
"Hehe. You deserve to die!" Meruem answered him with a chuckle, although his current state was not good. His strength was also at its lowest level in history, but even the weakest Heroic Spirit was not something that ordinary humans could fight against.
Unfortunately, you, Zouken Matou, are not beyond the reach of ordinary humans.
"Just this cold air." Meruem didn't move a single step, and a strong cold air instantly covered the entire room five meters away from Meruem himself.
Countless engraved insects turned into a pile of debris under this cold air.
Even Zouken Matou himself was no exception.
The best way to deal with insects is AOE. It's a pity that he doesn't know Aphrodite and Albafica's plant summoning and poison, otherwise summoning a rose army to eat these insects would be even more shocking.
"Sniff, sniff. Boy, you're not human!" Zouken Matou looked at Meruem with great fear. It was not difficult for him, who did not belong to the human category, to notice that Meruem did not belong to the human category.
As expected of an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, his ability to escape is naturally not bad. Moreover, Meruem did not think that this little bit of cold air could kill Matou Zouken.
No matter what, as one of the villainous BOSSes, Zouken Matou is quite tenacious in terms of vitality alone.
Meruem is not in a good state now, his master has disappeared. Without the supply of magic power, if it is an ordinary heroic spirit, let alone doing it, it is difficult to even insist on not dissipating.
Meruem didn't think that he was an Archer with an A or higher rank who was acting alone, and could last for a long time without a master providing magic power without dissipating. If he didn't fight, it would be fine, but once he entered the battle, the consumption of magic power would not be small.
"Hey, as you expected. I am a Heroic Spirit, and I am here to protect Sakura and kill you under the command of my Master!" Although Meruem was telling the truth, what he said could cause a lot of ambiguity. He used language to induce Zouken Matou to think about other things.
"Master?! No, damn Tohsaka family!" As expected, Matou Zouken naturally associated it with Tohsaka Tokiomi. Did he know what he had done to his daughter? Or did the Tohsaka family want to take over the Matou family from the beginning? All kinds of different ideas flooded into Matou Zouken's mind.
He would never have thot that it was his good-for-nothing grandson Shinji Matou who had done it.
Countless engraving insects once again emerged from the ground and pounced on Meruem.
After Meruem used the same trick again to kill the Crest Worm with cold air, Zouken Matou's figure had already disappeared.
Only a sentence was left behind: "Tokiomi Tohsaka, I'm not done with you!"
"Finally gone, let's leave quickly. Otherwise, it will be troublesome when the old guy reacts. Tsk tsk. My physical condition is very bad now."
After saying that, Meruem quickly left the Matou family with Sakura in his arms.
"But the Matou family? I'll get my revenge on them sooner or later."
After leaving the Matou family, Sakura fell asleep on Meluam's chest.
Having left that place that was like a nightmare, Sakura must have finally been able to relax.
When Sakura woke up again, it was already the next morning.
"Where is this?" A strange ceiling, a strange bed and a strange quilt.
"Ah, Sakura-chan has already woken up." After the door opened, Meruem smiled and looked at Sakura, who had already woken up.
So, yesterday was not a dream! Someone really came to save Sakura. Did Kami-sama hear Sakura's request?
"Are you hungry?" After Meruem handed the bread and milk in his hand to Sakura, Sakura began to eat ravenously.
"You must be starving," Meruem thot as he stroked Sakura's black hair. (Before Zouken Matou modified Sakura's body, her hair was black like Rin Tohsaka's. In other words, if you want to know whether Sakura has been defiled, you can just look at the color of her hair. In addition, although Zouken Matou's modification of Sakura's body made her more suitable as a magician, Sakura's attribute was changed from the original rare void to water. Simply put, it did improve in the short term, but it can be said to have ruined her in the long run.) After escaping from the Matou family, Meruem found a random family in Fuyuki City. Using the hypnotic ability of the Sharingan, he easily solved the problem of accommodation.
"How about I take Sakura home in a little while?"
Then find a place to solve the problem of your body, or find a magic power supply unit. Tsk tsk, Ryudoji Temple, as one of the two major spiritual veins in Fuyuki City, must be able to extract the magic power to support itself from the earth veins.
It's a pity that the current time period is the time point of FATEZERO, otherwise it would be a good thing to make Liudong Temple a master.
What? Issei Ryudouji doesn't have a magic circuit? He's not a magician? Then tell me why Issei Ryudouji is still alive and well after the final battle at Ryudouji Temple in each line of the Fate/Stay Nite story. How did he do it? "No... don't go back, don't go back!" Sakura's reaction was unusually intense after hearing Meluam's words.
"Sakura will be obedient, please, don't abandon Sakura. Sakura has nothing now."
I don't know why, but seeing her like this, Sakura Meroe's heart ached again.
