'Uncle Kariya, where are you?'
That was the only thought in little Sakura's mind.
Just then,
Sora looked and nodded, relieved that they had arrived in time.
They had prevented poor Sakura from being tortured by that old worm.
According to the original work, the Matou Family had no one with outstanding magical aptitude, so they agreed with Tokiomi, who had two daughters, Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura, both with excellent magical aptitude.
But the rules of [Mystery] dictated that the fewer inheritors, the better.
A magus family's Magic Circuits could only have one heir.
So Sakura was adopted into the Matou Family to inherit their Magic Circuits.
This was the source of the famous phrase:
"Everything is Tokiomi's fault!"
Then, after testing, the old worm discovered that Sakura had the Imaginary Numbers attribute.
"Damn it. This doesn't match our Matou Family's noble Magic Circuits. You must be modified through Crest Worms."
With that, he led Sakura to the underground worm pit.
The poor girl was nearly frightened unconscious by the dense swarm of writhing, flesh-devouring worms.
"What are you afraid of? Once you possess power, you can do anything in this world!"
"Even worms are cute in the face of power!"
Saying this, Zouken picked up a worm and prepared to insert it into Sakura's body.
But Sora appeared directly in the worm pit.
"There are clearly better ways to gain power, yet you choose this disgusting and dangerous method. I can only say that among the so-called three founding families, yours is the most inferior."
"This method of gaining power isn't worthy of a great magus aristocratic family… it's something only gutter-level magi would choose."
Sora directly hit his sore spot.
Telling Zouken his power was weak wouldn't provoke him.
But attacking his family lineage, his bloodline, his prestige… that would absolutely provoke these magus families who valued bloodline above all!
Seeing Sora, Zouken asked angrily:
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
"Heh heh, I'm a knight, here to rescue an innocent young lady."
Hearing this, Artoria broke out in a sweat. This guy was stealing her job, wasn't he?
"Hmph, enough talk. Die!" Zouken waved his hand, and a black cloud of insects surged towards Sora.
"Can't even take a little jest."
"I was actually going to say some nice things. Although your power is trash, the knowledge left by your ancestors isn't bad. I need your Magic Circuits."
Sora shook his head.
"You're just a Servant, and you dare to cause trouble for our Matou Family? You're asking for death!"
Sora smiled faintly. "Is that so? Well, I'm specifically looking for your trouble, old worm."
"Among all the things I've seen since coming to this world, the most infuriating ones have all been in your family!"
With that, Sora stepped forward, raised his hand, and used "Shinra Tensei!"
Instantly, the swarm of insects released by the old worm was crushed.
"Damn it!" Zouken summoned even more insects, like a dark cloud, surging toward Sora.
Not only that, they spat out clouds of black miasma.
Sora shook his head. "Just as I thought, you magi are far too weak compared to Servants!"
"No wonder your family developed Command Spells to bind them."
"Otherwise, Servants could easily kill you at any time."
"Your skills are far too lacking!"
"And now it's four Servants against you. You should be satisfied."
With that, Sora threw punch after punch, relentlessly slamming into the old worm!
He directly knocked the old worm to the ground.
And then he stomped on him!
"This punch is for the innocents!"
"This punch is just for satisfaction!"
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
A series of attacks struck the old worm's body.
Directly beating him until he vomited blood, or rather, vomited worms… making everyone feel disgusted.
This was Kaguya's secret attack!
Kaguya wasn't very skilled at combat.
She rarely fought.
The few times she had fought were out of necessity.
She wasn't an aggressive fighter, and she just overpowered opponents with her strength.
Now, Sora had called her out to gain some combat experience.
Dealing with this old worm was perfect.
Soon, the old worm couldn't hold on.
He never imagined these otherworldly Servants would be so powerful.
"Impossible! What kind of Servant are you?"
"Why have I never seen you before?"
The old worm screamed.
Sora sneered coldly: "Of course you haven't seen me, because I come from a world beyond your imagination."
Sora decided to kill this old worm completely.
This old man was arguably the most evil and despicable character in the entire Nasuverse.
Utterly shameless.
He had forgotten his past and degenerated into a villain pursuing immortality.
