The Holy Grail Battles Chapter 2

who I am?

where am I?

What am I doing?

When Lucas Matou slowly woke up from his confusion, he could only feel pain all over his body, as if every inch of his muscles were torn apart.

"Ah" he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Kanya, are you awake?" The person next to him heard the sound made by Lucas Matou and came over. It was a strange handsome guy.

The man gave Lucas Matou a gentle smile and said, "Mr. Lucas Matou, the operation was very successful. You have now become a girl."

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!

Lucas Matou was struck by lightning, his brain stopped working for a few seconds, and then he quickly stretched out his right hand, which was still able to move, to check on little Lucas Matou's physical condition.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

(*Д｀)====3

It's so scary. I thought I could only be sisters with Aoi from now on. Will Rin and Sakura call me Aunt Lucas Matou when they see me in the future?

Oh, Sakura?

Lucas Matou finally recalled in confusion, didn't he come to the Holy Grail War to save Sakura? Why now?

Yanye looked around blankly. It was still the familiar basement and the familiar insect warehouse. The air was no longer filled with a pungent sour smell, but a smell of fireworks left after burning.

"Have I already failed in the Holy Grail War?" Lucas Matou lowered his head, as if he had anticipated something.

Even if I let that old monster Henry Matou control my body, would it still fail?

"I'm sorry Sakura, I probably can't save you."

"Sorry, the Holy Grail War hasn't started yet. Also, don't worry about Sakura. I rescued her a year ago."

Evan answered him casually, while flipping through a magic book in his hand, which contained the spells needed to summon heroic spirits, and he was trying hard to memorize them.

What? Sakura has been rescued?

Lucas Matou's long-silent brain finally started working again, and memories came flooding back, accompanied by intense pain.

"Ah." Lucas Matou covered his head. He finally remembered everything that had just happened.

...

10 minutes ago, at Matou's house.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood facing each other. The tall one had a relaxed look on his face, surrounded by holy light, like an angel descending to the earth. The short old man gritted his teeth, and a swarm of insects rushed from behind him, but were burned to ashes the moment they came into contact with the holy light.

"Tsk, old man, raising so many insects must have cost you a lot of your money." Evan manipulated the holy light to burn the insect familiars driven by Zang Yan, and said jokingly, "What era is it now? You are still raising insects for fun. I don't think you need holy light. I can kill them all in the Matou family with two cans of insecticide."

"Hmph." Although Henry Matou was angry, he did not respond with words.

He had fought with Evan once a year ago when he came here and snatched away the little girl from the Tohsaka family. That time, he lost miserably. This kid's light magic seemed to have a natural restraint on familiars. His insects were completely unable to hurt him and he was completely helpless against him.

However, his own magic power had to maintain this decayed body, so he was unable to attack with all his strength.

However, today's battle took place in his own magic workshop, and he had already made arrangements against him.

"Boy, stepping into my magic workshop is your biggest mistake." Henry Matou slammed the cane in his hand. "Go to death with regret!"

Magic runes lit up on the broken ceiling. With a loud bang, the walls broke apart one after another, and countless sharp blades shot out from the ceiling and fell rapidly.

According to Zōken's research, Evan's light magic can resist magic, but it has no resistance to this sharp blade that has no magical enchantment at all.

Sure enough, the sharp blade of this entity went straight through the holy light that surrounded Evan. When the blade fell, Evan was about to be cut into pieces.

"Ding ding ding ding ding..."

The rain of sharp blades did fall, but when they landed on Evan's skin, it was like falling on steel. They couldn't even cut a hair, but only slightly scratched Evan's originally neat suit.

"Hey, I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was alienation." Evan lowered his head and slightly adjusted his suit, looking at the gloomy bald Zang Yan in front of him. "I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards. I am Superman, Super Man!"

Henry Matou ignored the word Superman that Evan said. After all, although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he knew that the so-called Superman was just a character in an American comic book.

Evan lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist. "Hey, it's getting late. I need to get rid of you quickly and get the Command Seal, otherwise I will miss the best time to summon."

"B@st@ard! You think you are..." Zang Yan roared angrily, but he only said half of his words before his body was swept by the oncoming holy light. The scorching light burned his insect body and blocked his last words.

The holy light swept through, and the basement became quiet. There were no more disgusting crawling bugs or irritating insect chirping.

"Tsk, he's not dead? As expected of an old monster who has lived for 500 years, he can still live."

Evan could feel that Zang Yan's soul escaped at the last moment. Maybe it escaped to a bug that had been prepared in advance?

But it doesn’t matter. If he wasn’t killed, then he wasn’t killed. There’s still a lot of time to go, so it’s better to deal with the current problem first.

As he thought about it, Evan looked at Yan Ye, who was sitting on the ground, as stiff and dazed as an offline puppet.

On his hands, three red Command Spells seemed to be emitting light.

...

"I rescued Sakura a year ago. She is now living well in Edelfeld, Finland, and she often writes to me."

As Evan explained, he pulled out a photo from his inner pocket and handed it to Lucas Matou.

"Look, this is the photo Sakura mailed to me some time ago."

In the photo, the black-haired girl was holding a lavender gem in her hand and smiling faintly.

It was indeed Sakura, but she looked more mature than he remembered. Turning over the photo, he saw a short message written on it.

"My sister taught me gem magic today. I chose a purple one. It looks really nice."

"cherry."

Lucas Matou's voice was choked with sobs, tears welled up in his eyes, he pounded his hands on the ground and said angrily, "Have I been deceived all this year..."

A year ago, Lucas Matou was called back home by Henry Matou and told that Sakura was adopted here by Tōsaka Victor Toosaka and was now undergoing body transformation in the underground insect warehouse. When Lucas Matou rushed to the insect warehouse, all his memories became blurred.

He seemed to see Sakura wailing and crying, and he agreed to Zōken's request to join the war.

Then his memory continued to blur, and he only remembered that countless insects were gnawing at his body, providing him with magic power.

Is all this a scam of Zang Yan?

Looking at his broken body and the little time left in his life, Lucas Matou's heart was filled with pain and powerlessness.

"Okay, stop crying. It's just that your body was ruined by an old man." Evan said nonchalantly.

Hearing his words, Lucas Matou was so angry that he wanted to punch him, but then he remembered that he had saved Sakura, so he held back and just said with resentment, "You don't understand anything at all."

"Hey, your body is broken. I'll fix it for you in a moment. The main function of my magic is healing."

Of course, Holy Light can not only punish enemies, but its main purpose is to heal my teammates.

"What? Is there still hope for me?" The light of life shone in Lucas Matou's eyes, like a drowning man who had grasped the last straw.

"Of course, but there will be a fee. The fee will be paid by your qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War this time." Evan smiled brightly.
