Chapter 193 Grandfather and Grandson Die

This method of achieving "immortality" revealed substantial problems as early as two hundred years ago, or rather, it was forced to be used before it was even perfected.

The long years had already eroded his soul, so even if he obtained a fresh body and reconstructed it, it would begin to decay in an instant, and the longer the new body lasted, the shorter it would be.

Previously, he could live for over fifty years after a single replacement, but now he has to replace his body every few months. The pain and fear of his body decaying are gradually driving him mad. Now, Zouken Matou is left with only one obsession: "I don't want to die." His former glory, dreams, and humanity have long since vanished.

"Alright, take off your insect body now. It's not good enough to fool me."

Lin Yu knew what Matou Zouken was thinking. The other party had obviously not completely given up resisting. The reason he was struggling in this way was because he no longer had the fighting power he had when he was young.

If he were younger, he would have already picked up a weapon and prepared to fight. So what if he is a heroic spirit? He still has a chance to defeat him.

At his peak, Old Bug was only listed as a Priestly Magician by the Clock Tower, but his strength far exceeded that; he was far superior to ordinary Priestly Magicians. (Grand Rank, Color Rank, Priestly Rank, Festival Rank, Opening Rank, First Son, Last Son, in descending order)

Even Director Ken of the Color Rank might not be stronger than him, and as for someone like the fat director of Chaldea, it would probably take at least ten people to compare with him.

"boom!"

A surge of psychic power swiftly enveloped Zouken Matou's body. Under the influence of this psychic power, the old insect's decaying body instantly disintegrated into dust. The insects scattered and fled, but none of them could escape the crushing force of the psychic power.

"grandfather!"

Upon seeing Zouken Matou appear, Shinji Matou, who had thought he was saved, was stunned. He cried out in disbelief, clearly unable to accept what was happening before him.

"Stop shouting, stop shouting. Your grandfather is in your heart, but he's just an insignificant shell."

Lin Yu said helplessly, but Matou Shinji obviously didn't believe it at all. He was still shocked and saddened by Matou Zouken's death.

Although he was always regarded as an unfilial grandson by Matou Zouken and was not loved by him, he genuinely regarded Matou Zouken as his grandfather. Because his father, Matou Tsuruno, was extremely afraid of Matou Zouken, he rarely went home and always pretended to be very busy outside.

Therefore, Shinji Matou, who had always lived with Zouken Matou, truly had feelings for this old insect, Zouken Matou.

"Seeing this scene, I wonder if you can feel even a trace of human emotion?"

"Pfft!"

Lin Yu shook his head, smiled faintly, and walked up to Matou Shinji. In an instant, his right hand transformed into a sharp claw, and under Matou Shinji's terrified gaze, Lin Yu's claw pierced through his heart.

At the same time, a disgusting-looking Crest Worm burst out of Matou Shinji's body. This action was like triggering a switch, and the Crest Worms inside Matou Shinji's body rushed out in a frenzy.

"Pfft!"

But Lin Yu's hand did not hesitate at all. He instantly recognized the old bug's true form. The old bug's disguise was useless to him, after all, he did not judge by the naked eye alone.

"Still want to escape?"

Lin Yu's sharp claws pierced the old insect's body precisely, pinning it firmly to the ground. The marking insect writhed violently, seemingly unwilling to accept its fate of death.

It has struggled against death for hundreds of years but has not yet achieved immortality; it is unwilling to die so easily.

"Really boring."

Lin Yu instantly lost interest in him. This old bug had gone mad; apart from his obsession with immortality, his mind could no longer hold any other thoughts.

"Pfft!"

Lin Yu crushed the old insect's marking insect body with his hand, and dirty black bloodstains fell to the ground.

"puff!"

Shinji Matou coughed up blood as Zouken Matou ruthlessly manipulated the Crest Worms to force them out, causing Shinji to be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Seeing Matou Shinji bleeding profusely and slowly losing his life, Lin Yu did not try to save him. He felt that he should let the man die like this and be reborn into a normal family in his next life.

"call!"

After watching Matou Shinji gradually lose all signs of life, Lin Yu first took out a lighter from his spatial world without hesitation, set his body on fire, and then buried him in the ground.

Lin Yu returned to the Matou family home. He did not burn the entire house down, even though that would have covered up the deaths of Matou Zouken and Matou Shinji, saving Kirei Kotomine some trouble.

But this mansion is quite valuable, and there's no need to burn it down for nothing. Leaving it to Matou Sakura would be a good idea. Even if she probably doesn't want to live here anymore, selling it would still bring in a considerable sum of money.

So Lin Yu only burned the insect warehouse and then extinguished the fire, without affecting the outer house structure. This can be said to be very considerate, at least for Matou Sakura.

Furthermore, he completely destroyed all the research materials related to the old insect and insect magic. It's better to have as few copies of this twisted magic as possible.

"My name is Red Scarf, you're welcome."

After checking his "achievements," Lin Yu left those words and returned to the Tohsaka family.

"What?! You killed Shinji Matou?!"

After Lin Yu finished recounting the whole story, Rin Tohsaka was completely stunned. Rider was also quite surprised, not expecting that Archer had actually killed Shinji Matou.

"Don't say that. I didn't kill him. It was the old bug who took his life. I just cremated him after he died. He might even be grateful to me."

Lin Yu naturally had his own explanation: he didn't directly kill Matou Shinji; he just didn't go to save the guy.

"I personally dealt with Zouken Matou, so you can rest assured that the old man is completely finished and will never cause trouble again."

Lin Yu said with absolute certainty that he was absolutely not mistaken; the old bug was as dead as could be, and even his ashes had been scattered, which could be said to have saved a group of people.

First of all, Matou Sakura has definitely been freed. Secondly, the people in the Matou family have finally broken free from the shadow of Matou Zouken. They are the ones who should truly be grateful to Lin Yu.

"But! But!"

Rin Tohsaka felt something was off, but Lin Yu's words seemed to make sense; he definitely didn't kill Shinji Matou.

"Well, at least Sakura will be a little relieved now that this guy is dead," Rin Tohsaka said.

"Exactly, take it easy. He won't live much longer in the Holy Grail War."

Before Lin Yu could continue speaking, Rin Tohsaka gave up the pursuit. After all, she didn't really care about the deaths of those two people, and even felt a sense of satisfaction, although this satisfaction made her feel somewhat guilty.

"Hmm~"

At this moment, Matou Sakura made a sound. Her awakening completely dispelled Rin Tohsaka's thoughts of agonizing over the matter, and Rider quickly moved closer to Matou Sakura's side.
