Chapter 498 - Chapter 498 Rescuing Tohsaka Sakura

The reason someone later cursed Tokiomi was because of his foolish decision.

He had sent his own biological daughter to that filthy place, the Matou Family, for training and development, hoping she would inherit their Magic Circuits. This was sheer stupidity.

He had no idea how evil and cruel this old worm was.

The old worm intended to corrupt Sakura, forcing her to adapt to the Matou Family's Magic Circuit power.

In the end, Sakura killed him. It was poetic justice.

But now, Sakura no longer needed to be corrupted.

Sora had rescued her in time.

She hadn't yet suffered the torture of the worms.

Sora deeply sympathized with this pitiful, weak, and helpless, innocent and pure girl.

Tohsaka Sakura deserved the same beautiful life as Tohsaka Rin.

Sora believed she would rather forgo her magical aptitude than enter the Matou Family and be separated from her loving sister and mother.

So, Tokiomi truly deserved to die!

Sora thought so.

Matou Kariya wasn't wrong.

That man deserved to die!

Sora just didn't want to affect his relationship with the two leading ladies, so he didn't do it himself.

He'd let that heartless man, Emiya Kiritsugu, handle it.

Then, Sora couldn't be bothered to say more to the old worm. With a sweep of his Chakra, he located the old worm's true body.

A ridiculous worm.

He pinched it directly.

"Spare me! I'll give you whatever knowledge you want!"

The old worm struggled desperately.

"The glorious beginnings of any family often end with the decadence of its descendants."

Sora said something cryptic, referring to the Matou Family's origin and end.

Then he crushed the worm, while his eyes turned.

He manifested Amaterasu's black flames, burning its soul and matter completely.

Everyone watched the black flames instantly consume the entire worm pit.

"Alright, let's go upstairs."

"Let's search this old man's house thoroughly."

"Merlín, you should study the relevant knowledge."

Then everyone got busy.

Merlín quickly found the Matou Family's library and began studying their knowledge of creating Command Spells and binding magical energy...

Sora, meanwhile, examined the Matou Family's history, searching for the rules of Mystery hidden within.

The Matou Family was originally the Makiri Zolgen family.

With over five hundred years of history, they had a Water attribute, and their Magecraft characteristic was absorption, specializing in binding and forceful types of Magecraft.

They used their Magecraft characteristics with a grand goal: to eliminate human evil.

That was the original Makiri Family, the noblest of the three families.

Yet they ultimately degenerated into the filthiest and most despicable family.

One must admit, the rules of this Nasuverse were quite perfect.

The rule of [Mystery] was indeed very powerful.

The [Third Magic] was also formidable enough.

It could reach the [Root] of magical energy to realize many incredible miracles.

That was their purpose in creating the Lesser and Greater Grails: to achieve miracles.

Through the combination of the Lesser and Greater Grails-

The Lesser Grail collected souls, activated the Greater Grail, and then released the Servants back to the Throne of Heroes.

When the Servants returned to the Throne, they would pierce holes in the outer layer of this world.

Once the holes were pierced, a path to the Root could be formed.

Few knew this secret.

For instance, the seemingly astute Kiritsugu had no idea.

So he ended up making a grave mistake out of ignorance.

He destroyed the Lesser Grail without understanding anything, causing the black mud to flow from the hole, triggering a great fire that burned down Fuyuki City.

After Merlín, using her talent as a Grand Caster, had thoroughly studied the Matou Family's knowledge, Sora nodded:

"Good. Next is the Tohsaka Family."

"This is the family that specializes in creating magic circles."

As for the Einzbern Family, Irisviel was right there.

They had an insider.

They didn't even need to fight… they could access the knowledge anytime.

Thus, two of the three families were already dealt with.

Only the Tohsaka Family remained.

Thinking this, Sora led the group to the Tohsaka Residence.

At that moment, on a rooftop.

The timid Waver was reading a book.

Iskandar spoke: "Hey, others are making moves."

"What's your wish?"

Waver said weakly: "I don't have any wish. I just want no one to bully me and to live peacefully."

"You're such a spineless brat. You need to have ambition like me! Learn to have ambition, learn to have courage!" Iskandar laughed heartily.

"You're the famous Conqueror King. How can I compare to you?"

Iskandar patted his head. "Haha, anyone can conquer, not just kings. Conquest is a grand undertaking!"

"You can conquer your own heart, your own desires, your own goals!"

Waver was moved.
