Suddenly, Matou Zōyan's hand was about to touch the little girl Sakura's hair, and he was about to forcefully pull her over, then take off her clothes and throw them into the swarm of imprinted insects below the basement, letting her be killed by the countless insects. When the insects gnawed away so that the magic-devouring engraved insects could enter and slowly transform the magic circuit of the opponent's body to adapt to his Matou family's spells, for some reason, the body of the little girl who was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground was surrounded by Suddenly, something like a red shield lit up, blocking her hand that was about to reach in.
"Uhhh!!!"
Matou Zangyan never expected that when he was caught off guard and directly touched the shield, a strange shield would appear on this five-year-old girl?
Then, the red energy flowing like lava on it caused the entire palm of his left hand to burn at the moment of contact. The bone-eroding pain that went straight into his soul made him howl, and then quickly He had to retract his hand and staggered back two steps, almost falling from the basement platform behind him into the swarm of insects below.
After all, Matou Zangyan's current body is a little different from ordinary people, so he is particularly sensitive to things that can hurt the soul.
It's just... He didn't quite understand for a moment, what was this shield about?
"Hello!"
"I said... you are a bald-headed old man who can tell at a glance that he is not a good person. Do you want to do some weird things to my little sister Sakura?!"
At this time, Matou Zangyan, who was screaming miserably, was covering his palms that had been burned by the weird red shield just now, and looking at the little girl paralyzed on the ground in surprise, when he suddenly heard the third A personal voice made him suddenly turn his head in the direction from which the voice came.
Then soon, he saw a person wearing a red dress and holding a ferocious stuffed teddy bear in his arms. He had blond hair and blue eyes that were different from ordinary people in this country. He seemed to be older than the Tohsaka family. This little foreign girl, who was just a little bit taller than her material, slowly emerged from the other side of the originally empty basement platform.
That's right, the person who just put a lava shield on Sakura was undoubtedly Annie!
Now, she looked at the bad old man in front of her with such a cold face and cold eyes. His corrupt soul and twisted life were worse than those heretical mages who turned into lichs in order to live forever. Far worse!
She might not have paid attention when she saw the other party for the first time, but now, she could tell at a glance that the other party's body seemed to be just like the disgusting insect swarms underneath that were transformed by magic power. Therefore, seeing herself The one in front of her turned out to be a weirdo made of insects, and her face looked a little unnatural.
Especially the swarms of insects at the bottom, the dense and disgusting situation where the bugs are crowded together, makes Annie, even without trypophobia, a little goosebumps... Bugs and other things, as long as she is a slightly normal little girl , there is always a bit of psychological shadow, and of course Anne herself doesn't like this kind of strange things.
"!!"
"Little girl, who are you and how did you get in?!"
It wasn't until the little girl appeared from the other side of the originally empty basement stairway that Matou Zangyan realized that there was a third person here, so he held the left hand that had just been burned and injured tightly. Palms, while guarding the opponent nervously.
He didn't know who this strange little foreign girl was, and he didn't know where she came from. However, judging from the shield on Sakura's body that could burn her palms, and the fact that she seemed to be invisible, it wasn't hard to see. It can be concluded that the other party must have a strong spell, and he is probably also a magician!
"Could it be that...you are from the Einzbern family?"
Seeing that the other party was a blond and blue-eyed foreign girl, and that she had magic power fluctuations on her body and had superb spells that could make her invisible and deceive her. After thinking about it for a while, Matou Zangyan subconsciously thought that the other party must be another one. An artificial masterpiece of the Einzbern family.
Only those guys who are connected to their own families would go to their own homes and meddle in their own household affairs?
Of course, it could also be a descendant of a certain family in the clock tower?
"The Einzberns?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know what the Einzberns you are talking about! My name is Anne, Anne Hastur!"
"I am who I am and I don't belong to anyone in this world!"
After telling her name and background without hesitation, Annie walked over to Sakura who was huddled on the ground, and then directly grabbed her arm and lifted her up.
Anne herself had actually figured it out very early on. When encountering a powerful enemy, or a bad guy like a weird worm or a weird grandpa in front of her, any crying or fear would be useless. Fire and magic can make the enemy surrender!
Magic is truth, and the strength of magic is the only criterion for testing truth!
Whoever dares to bully her will be burned directly by her! Not all bad guys will be burned by her, but anyone who is burned by her will definitely be a bad guy!
"..."
Hearing the other party's answer, Matou Zangyan couldn't help but frown.
Because, after living for hundreds of years, he has never heard of the surname Hastur, and he has no idea which magic family he comes from! And it shouldn’t be that I haven’t heard of a capable little guy like the other party...
Could it really be from the clock tower?
"You weird old man, you haven't told me yet, what bad things do you want to do to my little sister Sakura?!"
Just now, Annie had actually been following invisibly to this point, so of course she had seen all the bad deeds of this weird old man, so now she was already thinking about how to destroy it. How to deal with this bad guy?
Should he be beaten to death first and then burned...or should he be burned to death directly, or half-burned to death? This is a very interesting question. She will first see the other party's performance before talking about it later.
"Hmph! Little girl, I don't care who you are or where you come from... But now, this little girl is my granddaughter. It is our own housework in the Matou family. I advise you, this guy of unknown origin, to do your best. It’s better to leave early and stop meddling in other people’s business!?”
"Also, it would not be polite to break into someone else's home casually like you!"
Although he didn't know the origin of the other party, Matou Zouken didn't want to worry too much now. He just squinted his eyes and kept looking at the other party while warning and admonishing the other party to leave early.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party seemed to have some skills, he couldn't understand the magic power on his body, and the two spells the other party just showed were not weak, he would be afraid that if he did anything casually, he would provoke powerful enemies such as the organization or family behind the other party. If so, he would have taken action to capture the opponent and punish the little foreign girl for rashly jumping out to cause trouble.
"polite?"
"Is it polite for you to bully a little girl like this?"
Annie pointed to the swarm of insects below in disbelief, and then pointed to Sakura beside her, whose eyes were filled with fear and tears. She had clearly heard clearly just now that the other party was going to strip off Sakura's clothes and throw her in to be bitten by the bugs.
You know, Annie is just a little girl herself, so she is particularly disgusted with this kind of strange grandfather bullying another child! Not to mention, she is very fond of the little sister Sakura now, so if she helps, that's for sure!
"Hmph! Little girl, although I don't know which family you are from, I advise you to leave as soon as possible before my patience runs out, otherwise..."
Matou Zangyan began to mobilize his magic power, and some dark aura faintly emanated from his body.
His meaning now is obvious. This little girl of unknown origin had better leave here before he is still hesitating whether to use force. Otherwise, the other party should never leave and just stay with the other party. Let’s use the materials that the Tohsaka family just sent today as his experimental products!
Thinking of this, Matou Zangyan suddenly felt that his idea might be a good one? After all, the other party seemed to be a little girl who had magic circuits and could cast spells, so she would definitely not be worse than the one just sent by the Tohsaka family.
"Otherwise, what do you want, do you want to hit me?!"
Anne was very curious about this. She had not been threatened by anyone for a long time, so she took two steps forward and blocked her little sister Sakura behind her, making it clear that today She just takes care of this small matter and sees what the other party can do to her? !
Does this bald old guy, this twisted and corrupt soul, really think he is very powerful?
"Hmph..."
"Is a little magician so presumptuous because of his little skills? It seems that I need to teach you a profound lesson today!"
Now that the negotiation has broken down, and since the little girl doesn't listen to her own advice, don't even think about leaving!
Therefore, Matou Zangyan sneered, and his expression gradually became ferocious. A little girl with yellow hair, who doesn't know the heights of the world, ran into Matong Zangyan, and ran wild in the territory of Makiri Zolgen, who has lived for hundreds of years. She really thought that he was too old to use magic. ?
“It’s not certain who will teach whom!”
Seeing that the other party dared to sneer and glare at her, Anne glared back fiercely without any politeness. Then, Annie also grabbed a ball of fire in the palm of her other free hand, and just stared at the other person leisurely.
"Yeah?"
Matou Zangyan first looked at Sakura who was now hiding behind the strange little girl. When he saw that the other party dared to go against his wishes in such a matter, he became cruel and decided that he must take this opportunity to punish the other party properly. It takes a lot of effort, even if they are just two little girls!
"Wing blade insect!!"
After thinking about it, he concentrated and pointed forward, instantly summoning a large swarm of evil insects and rushing towards the two little girls a few meters in front of him.
He planned to test the other party's strength first, and if possible, control the insect swarms at the same time to teach the two little girls in front of him an unforgettable lesson, so that he could control them better in the future and make the other party wholeheartedly accept his imprinting transformation. .
"ha?"
Annie was a little puzzled. With the other party's small tricks, a group of alienated little monsters also wanted to deal with her?
This is not her bragging, it's just a group of monster bugs with a small attack power, it is absolutely impossible to hurt herself! In fact, let alone the current group of insects, even if the opponent immediately recruits a large group of giant dragons, it will be useless!
Lava shield!
Therefore, Annie just curled her lips in disdain, and once again quickly put herself and Sakura into a large shield at the first opportunity, not wanting those disgusting little bugs to touch her.
The next moment, when those disgusting little bugs flew over at extremely fast speeds, when they hit the tough shield, they quickly screamed and hissed and were incinerated by the automatic counterattack of the lava shield. And annihilated into ashes...
"Bald bad guy, you are still too weak!"
It's a pity that until all the winged blade insects summoned by the opponent were burned like moths to the flame, Annie's shield was not damaged at all.
A guy like this can't even break his own lava shield, so what can the other party use to fight him? Should we continue to release insects? If this continues, Annie dares to say that even if the other party summons all the bugs on the earth to flood this place, they will not be able to break through her shield!
"Now, do you have any other tricks? If you have any, come out quickly, otherwise, I may accidentally burn you later."
Anne had already seen through the other party's true identity. He was nothing more than a twisted monster. If he hadn't just eaten enough and needed some exercise to help digestion, I'm afraid Anne would have burned the other party, right?
Therefore, while Anne made a big grimace and mocked the other party, she made the shattering fire in her free right hand grow a little bigger.
"Ha! Interesting! It seems that I really need to take it seriously..."
After seeing that his just probing attack was easily offset by the opponent's magic shield, Zang Yan finally started to take it seriously.
"..."
Sakura, who had gradually calmed down, hid behind Annie with tears in her eyes, turning sideways to reveal only half of her face, and looked timidly at the ferocious-looking 'advocate-grandfather' at the bottom of the basement steps. I don’t know why, but I suddenly don’t want to stay in this place!
Even if she really can't go home, even if her parents don't want her anymore, if she can, it's okay for her to go anywhere, as long as it's not here! Because there is a scary monster called Matou Zōyan here and an even scarier kind of bugs, and she doesn’t want to be bitten by them like the nightmare she had!
"snort!"
After snorting again and cheering up, Zang Yan decided to pay some attention to this little girl! In view of the opponent's powerful magic talent, he planned to imprison the opponent's magic power first, and then capture the opponent alive!
In this case, tonight, he will have two perfect materials, and each one is more perfect than the last! When the time comes, those imprinted insects penetrate into their bodies, transform their circuits, and devour their magic power. By then, he himself will definitely become more powerful, right?
Conjuration: Magical Confinement!
Conjuration: Binding!
Two spells were cast in a row, and while a black circle was being pulled around Annie's body, a black smoke-like rope was also twisting in the air flexibly like a living snake, and then that one was like One end of the snake-head-like rope, after identifying the two little girls hiding in the shield in front, rushed towards them with a quick 'swish'.
Bang!
However, it is a pity that after a soft muffled sound, the snake-like rope hit Annie's fiery red lava shield and had time to twist and tie it several times before it was quickly burned. All...
And that invisible black circle that appears or disappears, let alone that!
It failed to cover Annie at all, and was burned into a steaming black mist by the shield, and quickly disappeared.
"You must have had enough fun, right?"
Annie has stood still and let the opponent attack several times, so now, it is her turn to take action. Look, now that Annie has allowed the opponent to attack several times, we can no longer say that she disrespects the elderly and loves the young!
"Is this...is this really possible?"
"How is it possible that your magic power hasn't been imprisoned yet? That shield of yours... why is your shield still there?!"
Seeing this situation, seeing that the attack that he thought was a sure shot was easily neutralized, Matou Zangyan was finally a little surprised.
You know, the two spells he just used are not simple. The first one can temporarily and completely confine the opponent's magic power, causing his magic shield to collapse on its own. Then, the other spell can directly bind the opponent. The other party will completely lose its ability to resist, and then you can let yourself slowly devour the other party with the marking insects!
But now?
Not only did his spell fail to imprison the opponent's magic and cause the opponent's shield to collapse, but he also cracked three of his own spells in a row. What kind of magic can have such strong protective capabilities?
"Why is this impossible?"
Who is Annie? How could she be caught and imprisoned with magic power so casually? Whether it is confinement magic or silence, even if it is used by a being of the same level as Anne, it may not be effective, let alone the other party.
"flame……"
Since the other party had attacked her three times, and Annie was not the kind of person who would only take a beating without fighting back, so she felt a little impatient and immediately slammed her Shattering Fire onto the other party. Under her intentional control, the firearm did not explode, but exploded directly, engulfing the opponent's entire body in flames!
"Wow!!!"
Although Zang Yan also subconsciously protected himself, the strange fireball still hit him directly.
In an instant, Matou Zouken, who turned into a burning man, screamed loudly, and soon, before he could scream or make any more struggles, he gradually turned into a puddle in the terrifying flames. Black ashes shattered on the floor...
"ah!!"
"Sister Anne, he...he was burned by you?"
At this time, Sakura, who was secretly hiding behind Annie, suddenly shrank back in fear when she saw this tragic scene.
"of course not!"
Because Anne discovered at this time that the other party was not the real body, but just a body composed of a group of controlled bugs?
"Oh, damn it! Who are you!?"
Soon, as soon as Annie finished speaking, before she could find out the opponent's true body, another twisted and ferocious body of Matou Zangyan began to slowly form under the endless gathering of marking insects in the basement. The body of another ferocious old bald villain gradually transformed from the insect swarm under the gaze of Annie and Sakura.
"I'm Annie!"
He has obviously told the other party his name, but why does this weirdo still ask?
"I don't want to play with bad guys like you anymore! Don't think you're not afraid of death if you have something like a lich's phylactery! As long as I burn everything here, you won't be able to escape!"
After saying that, a bigger fireball appeared in Annie's hand again.
"Sister An, Annie..."
"Stop it...let's get out of here quickly, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go home..."
Seeing that Miss Anne was planning to take action again, Sakura quickly stretched out her hand timidly, grabbed the other party's clothes and pulled them, then wiped the tears from her eyes and whispered in a pleading tone.
"But, he clearly wanted to bully you just now!"
Seeing that Sakura actually wanted to persuade her to leave, Annie was a little surprised. The old man was so bad, how could he take advantage of him so easily?
"No one is allowed to leave! Tohsaka Sakura! Pay attention to your identity, you are already a member of my Matou family! You are not allowed to leave!"
Hearing that the other party was about to run, Matou Zangyan became anxious. Regardless of the injuries on his body that had not yet recovered, he flew up again and jumped directly towards the two little girls on the steps.
"oh?"
Seeing the opponent like this, Anne waved her hand, and a red and transparent wall similar to the lava shield instantly blocked the opponent. After letting him hit the shield, he fell back hard again and started Burn up.
"Sister Anne... stop fighting, let's leave quickly..."
Seeing that Annie still wanted to fight, Sakura quickly hugged the other person's arm and begged in a low voice with some anxiety.
She didn't want Miss Annie to have a conflict with the strange old man Zongyan across from her, because when her parents sent her here, they told her to be obedient and not to make this old man dirty... ....Now, even if she doesn't want to stay in this terrible place, she doesn't want Miss Anne to have a conflict or fight with the other party because of her.
"Don't even think about running away!!!"
Matou Zangyan went completely crazy. After he condensed a new insect body and stood up, he began to frantically mobilize the magic power in his body.
Great Spell: Imprisonment Barrier!
This time, Zang Yan was completely brave. Worried that the other party had other spells, he directly included the entire manor and castle of the Matou family into a barrier plane.
"Huh? I can go wherever I want. You can never lock me down!"
Seeing the other party's three-legged cat magic, you actually want to trap yourself? That simply doesn't exist! Besides, Annie has absorbed the space gem. She is extremely proficient in the rules of space and can even play in the dimensional world. How could she be trapped by such an inexplicable barrier?
"Sister Anne, please, stop fighting..."
"Okay, okay! Can't I leave?"
real......
The next second, Annie and Sakura, who was holding her, disappeared directly into a blue magical teleportation light.
At the same time, flames burst out in the stone basement and set the entire house on fire. Even if Annie leaves, she won't make things easier for the other party! Therefore, before leaving, he still dropped the fireball and burned down the entire basement swarm of imprinted insects and half of the house...
"..."
"No!!!"
Not only did the enemy disappear in an instant, but he was also severely humiliated. As a result, Zang Yan's furious roar came from the Matou family's castle manor...
