Chapter 786: Night Intrusion into the Kiryu Mansion, Torturing the Old Worm!
"Who are you? How dare you intrude upon our Kiryu family so rudely, and what business do you have here?"
As Yan'e stood before them with his hands in his pockets, Kiryu Zangyin, leaning on his cane, couldn't help but reveal a hint of solemnity on his face.
Even before Yan'e entered the Kiryu family's courtyard, he had sensed the presence of an intruder.
But he was confident in the magic workshop he had constructed. Even though his body and soul were decaying, he was still a 500-year-old grand magician.
The magical knowledge and foundation he possessed were far beyond what modern magicians could ever hope to achieve.
Although the Kiryu family's courtyard was only the outer area of his magic workshop, he had set up numerous defensive arrays, and Kiryu Zangyin had initially thought that this level of protection would be more than sufficient to deter petty thieves.
However, seeing Yan'e boldly intrude into their main residence and standing there unscathed, Kiryu Zangyin instantly realized that this intruder was no ordinary cat or dog.
"I'm a passing-by justice partner. I received a tip from a concerned citizen that you're engaging in cult rituals and abducting little girls. I'm here to mete out justice upon you."
As Yan'e spoke, he glanced at the Spirit Summoning Array on the ground and Kiryu Sakura, who stood beside it with a vacant stare.
"The evidence is overwhelming, and there's no point in trying to deny it.
I'm giving you two choices: either surrender and become my lackey, or I'll beat you to a pixelated pulp."
Upon hearing Yan'e's words, the members of the Kiryu family were stunned for a moment, but soon enough, Kiryu Zangyin scoffed, "You want to make our Kiryu family your servants?
You insignificant youngling, I'll teach you a lesson and show you that you're not as important as you think."
When Yan'e easily broke through the outer defenses of his magic workshop, Kiryu Zangyin had considered offering him some benefits to make him back down.
But he never expected the audacity of this intruder, who even dared to demand that Kiryu Zangyin become his lackey.
Joking aside, Kiryu Zangyin had lived for 500 years, and although the outside world perceived him as a decrepit old man, how many magicians could truly defeat him in a fight?
A mere young whippersnapper dares to challenge him so brazenly, trampling on the reputation of the Kiryu family.
"You little brat, I don't know who you are, but you're going to die here today."
As Kiryu Zangyin spoke, he tapped his cane on the ground.
Soon, countless insects emerged from beneath the floorboards and through the cracks in various pieces of furniture, responding to the cane's tapping.
The insects gathered at an astonishing speed, quickly forming a sea of writhing bodies, poised to engulf everything in their path as they surged towards Yan'e.
When she saw this dense swarm of insects, Little Sakura, who had been standing aside with a vacant stare, began to tremble uncontrollably.
These insects directly triggered her greatest fear and shadow from the past month.
She couldn't understand why she had to endure this torment. Just a month ago, she had been living happily with her parents and sister.
But one day a month ago, she was brought to the Kiryu family, and ever since, she had been enduring the agony of altering her magical circuits day and night.
In the beginning, Little Sakura had cried for help amidst the swarm of insects, pleading for her parents, mother, and even her sister to come to her rescue.
Even though her throat was hoarse from screaming, her cries for help went unanswered. She was well aware that her parents and sister would never appear in this place, as they were the very ones who had sent her to this hell.
After several rounds of the worms' modifications, the once innocent and lively Sakura began to lose her sense of self. She knew that to her uncle, Kiryu Ganzai, she and her father were merely playthings and tools.
As countless worms swarmed over her ankles, rushing towards the man who had intruded into the Kiryu residence, Sakura secretly wished for the man to defeat Kiryu Zangyin.
Despite feeling abandoned and hopeless, she still longed for salvation.
Unfortunately, heroes and princes only existed in fairy tales. Sakura and Ganzai were both aware of Zangyin's terrifying nature, so the man who had appeared tonight...
"Old worm, is this all you've got? If this is the extent of your power, then I must have overestimated you.
With such a pitiful display, you don't even qualify to be my lackey."
Facing the swarm of worms controlled by Zangyin, Yecheng didn't move an inch. Instead, he stomped his foot, and an orange-red magic array swiftly expanded beneath him, radiating outwards.
The moment the array formed, scorching flames erupted from it, illuminating the eerie Kiryu residence with a fiery glow.
Whether crawling on the ground or flying in the air, the worms approaching Yecheng were instantly incinerated by the raging flames, like moths drawn to a flame.
"Crackle, crackle!"
The worms, sensing the power of Yecheng's fire magic, hesitated in the face of the fiery barrier.
Unfazed, Yecheng opened his palm, which had been extended forward. The orange-red flame array on the ground expanded geometrically, enveloping the entire Kiryu residence.
As the fire array grew, the worms that had retreated earlier were also consumed by the flames. The intense heat scorched the disgusting worms, and for a moment, the Kiryu residence sounded like a pot of beans being fried.
Feeling the heat radiating from all directions and witnessing the flames engulfing the swarm of worms, Yecheng remained calm. Zangyin's gaze towards Yecheng shifted instantly.
"Who are you? Such immense magical power and the ability to cast a magic barrier without incantation are beyond the capabilities of an ordinary magician.
Are you a Heroic Spirit? But not all the Heroic Spirits of the classes have been summoned yet, which means the Holy Grail War hasn't officially begun.
Attacking other potential Masters is against the rules of the Holy Grail War!"
Zangyin immediately assumed Yecheng to be a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Holy Grail, rather than an ordinary magician, due to his formidable strength.
