Chapter 540 Determine the next target
The moment he saw Matou Sakura, Matou Kariya collapsed and struggled to crawl in front of her:
"How could it be... How could it be like this..."
Having experienced the magic circuits being widened by the crest bug, he could of course see the marks left by the crest bug on Matou Sakura's body. Although Adam purified the crest bug, these marks would not disappear for a while.
"This is different from what he said..."
"But it is consistent with your expectations, otherwise you would not control Berserker not to attack."
Hearing Adam's words, Matou Kariya's body was shocked.
Indeed, he had already guessed it in his heart, but he had no room for resistance before. Even if he transferred all his hatred to that guy Tohsaka Tokiomi, he could only rely on Matou Zouken to get the power to take revenge.
"In the final analysis, you are not actually saving this little girl, you are just venting your personal anger."
Adam shook his head, but Matou Kariya had no reaction.
Enkidu looked at Matou Kariya in surprise, not knowing what Adam meant by that, but...
"Adam, he's dead, what about Berserker?"
"It doesn't matter, you see he didn't disappear."
Adam pointed at Berserker:
"When the three Command Seals disappear, the Master's restraint on the Servant will no longer exist, and the transfer of the Master's identity will only take a moment."
So Matou Zouken's hope of waiting for Berserker to break free of his restraints and help him leave during the last period of his life never existed, because Berserker was already Adam's Heroic Spirit at that time.
As Adam finished speaking, Berserker knelt on one knee in front of Adam. Because of Adam's magic, Berserker's madness attribute was suppressed to a certain extent, probably from a beast to a human with animal nature.
Enkidu nodded in understanding, and then looked at the ruins in front of him:
"Then these..."
"No problem."
Adam stretched out his hand:
"Restore it as before."
With a command, the broken ruins and ashes were completely restored as if time had gone back, except that the original magic barrier was gone, and as Adam used the ability of the formation to operate it, even the ominous magic power was restored to its previous state.
"The Matou family manages more than one spiritual place, and Matou Zouken often goes out to inspect various places, so as long as it is kept as it is, no one will suspect it even if there is no one inside."
After explaining, Adam removed the magic covering the place:
"Let's go, take this child, we will deal with her problem first."
"Yes."
Enkidu leaned over and picked up Matou Sakura, and then followed Adam's footsteps.
Berserker followed in spirit form, and if he ran fast, he would not make as little noise as Adam and Enkidu.
…
“That child…”
Looking at the illusion created by Adam’s magic in front of him, which could synchronously project the situation on the other side, Merlin sighed:
“It’s really a pitiful person…”
Having said that, Merlin actually didn’t, and couldn’t have much sympathy. After all, he was a half-nightmare in this world. He liked the results left by humans, but it was difficult for him to have any emotional fluctuations towards humans themselves.
The only exception was that one person.
“It’s easy to treat her body. I can prepare a potion for her, but how can I redeem her soul?”
Adam blinked.
Sakura Matou has woken up now. She doesn’t want Adam to delete her memory, so Adam won’t force her.
As for Matou Sakura’s future, Adam feels that he shouldn’t make decisions for Matou Sakura, but the fact is that Matou Sakura is in a state where she can’t make decisions for herself.
This child has developed a character of going with the flow in her past life. It can be said that she has no opinions on the future at all—because in her past, her own ideas can’t make any changes to her future.
"Why not return her to her guardian?"
Merlin shrugged his shoulders. He remembered that Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't know what Matou Zouken did to Matou Sakura. If Matou Sakura was sent back and turned back into Tohsaka Sakura, Tohsaka Tokiomi would probably take good care of her.
Adam thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, there were Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Aoi in that family. But when he proposed this option to Sakura, Sakura showed obvious rejection.
"No! Don't!"
The girl's facial expression was still a little stiff, but tears kept flowing out of her wide eyes:
"Don't send me away..."
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not sending you away..."
Enkidu, who was holding Sakura, comforted her and looked at Adam helplessly:
"She seems to be very afraid of being sent away."
"That can't be helped, she will always be handed over to someone else... It's useless for you to look at me like that."
Adam also looked at him helplessly:
"Don't forget, we can't take care of her forever, even if we just take care of her until she reaches adulthood so that she can take care of herself."
Enkidu was silent for a while. Yes, now the three people in the room are all heroic spirits...
After hearing the conversation between the two, Sakura bit her lips tightly, and her face suddenly became more wooden, as if the defense that had just been opened was about to be closed again.
Adam rubbed his eyebrows.
To be honest, it is unnecessary to worry too much about Sakura's future now, because after several attempts, it is not certain whether this timeline can be preserved at that time.
But seeing such a poor little girl standing in front of you, how can he treat her as if she does not exist?
"Can Merlin, who is good at solving problems, give me some advice?"
Adam saw Merlin again, but Merlin just spread his hands:
"I have already given an idea, hand her over to her family - her family does not love her, even if she rejects it now, it will always get better in time, this is the best way."
Unless Adam is willing to leave this projection here to take care of Sakura until she grows up, otherwise this is not the timeline of the fifth Holy Grail War, where can he find someone like Shirou Emiya who is willing to take good care of Sakura and can be accepted by Sakura?
You can't just not take the medicine because it's bitter.
Adam nodded, that's the only way.
"But before that, should we get rid of Rider first? King of Conquerors Iskandar, although he has a very generous personality and makes people feel good about him, his abilities are really uninteresting."
The King's Army is indeed magnificent, but it is inconsistent with Adam's usual elegant style. He just swings his wand directly.
If Iskandar is allowed to leave early, then his bond with Waver will naturally collapse. Without the guidance of the King of Conquerors, can Waver still become the El-Melloi II?
What? Because of Adam's intervention, Kenneth did not die, and Waver could not have become El-Melloi II?
Oh, that's fine.
"The next target is determined to be Rider, and then we will go to visit Tōsaka Tokiomi."
Adam waved his hand and determined the next course of action. Before that...
"Let's have dinner first!"
