Late at night, the easterly part of the town of Higashiki.

Compared to the bustle and bustle of other parts of Dongmu Town, it seems to be very quiet, and a complex of buildings that makes people feel chilled just by looking at it.

The complex is tightly enclosed in the center by a wall, and the large iron gate is extremely quaint and completely separates it from the outside world.

Everything here looks so eerie, most of the buildings are covered with cobweb, and the houses with lights are almost non-existent, looking like abandoned housing areas. But the eerie nature of the building is so eerie that the already sparse pedestrians here bypass the building, not wanting to walk in front of it.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a very strange mansion, and at most, they can know that this is a very rich family.

But in the eyes of magicians, this is a once very prosperous magic family.

As for why I said it was, because the surname of this magic family is 'Makiri'

That's right, it's Sakura's successor.,The ruined magic family of the Kiri family.。

The most fundamental inheritance of a magic family is the "Magic Mark".

It is the members of a family of magicians who have spent their lives taking their magic skills to the extreme, studying them to the extent that they can crystallize them, so that they can pass them on to the next generation, so that the children of the next generation can continue their own research, in the hope that one day, there will be a descendant who can reach the "roots" and leave behind the treasure.

The ultimate goal of a magician is to reach the Roots.

Therefore, the "magic mark", which can pass on one's achievements from generation to generation and increase the probability of future generations reaching the "root", has become the most fundamental and important inheritance of a magic family.

Naturally, a magic family will only leave one "magic mark".

So. When one of the children and grandchildren of one generation appeared two descendants. And when both are very good magician descendants, the cruelest thing will happen to a magic family.

Fight –

Brothers and sisters fighting. Only one person can survive.

This. It is the most unavoidable and cruel problem of every magic family.

If one of the descendants of the magician is not very talented, then it doesn't matter.

But if the talents of the two juniors are exceptionally good. Well, in order to choose the most suitable heir, often. This pair of biological family members will fight each other.

Sakura was born into such a family.

has a talented sister, and his talent is no worse than his sister, and the result is the most fundamental problem of a magic family.

Sakura is both lucky and unlucky.

Luck means that Sakura doesn't need to fight each other with her own sister.

Because, Sakura's father made the older sister the heir of the family, and did not specifically let the two sisters fight each other for the "magic mark".

In order to elect a qualified successor. It is not uncommon for magic families to deliberately arrange for sisters and brothers to fight.

So, Sakura and Rin's father is not the kind of person who does not hesitate to let the sisters kill each other for the inheritance of the family and magic, and that is indeed the luck of Sakura Makiri.

However, she's also unlucky, and on the surface it all seems to mean that Sakura was right to be passed on to the family of Kiri, and even Rin sometimes thinks about it, and sometimes feels that doing so avoids a fight between her and her sister.

But is that really the case?

It's true on the surface, but secretly Sakura's treatment is something Rin doesn't know. Even their father, Tosaka Tokitomi, didn't know.

The magic family that used to be the third family of the Imperial Family, a strong magic family for an era, was later covered up by the magic family that was secretly covered up due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and the magic family that was cut off from the magic marking fund.

"Who the hell is your master?"

Dim basement. The faint and withered yellow light, the delicate girl sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed, constitutes a poignant picture. The girl still clutched the album that had been painted for nearly ten years. If anyone can turn the album from the first page to the last page, they will find out. There is only one picture in the album, and it is the back of a knife.

From the very beginning, like a naughty graffiti, there is no color on the back, to the colorful and lifelike back. From this, we can see how serious and rigorous the owner of the album is in the depiction of this back.

The girl is none other than Sakura Makiri, the girl who depicts this back day and night. In her mind, this back in the picture book can be said to be the only warmth in her cold world, the only safe haven, whenever she encounters something terrible, just looking at this back can make her mood cheerful and calm.

It was the power of this back that has been guarding her since she entered hell ten years ago, giving her the courage to survive in hell.

'Crunch-'

As Sakura gazed at the album, the door to the dilapidated basement, her room, was pushed open, and a low figure slowly walked through it. There was no consciousness of trespassing into her room, as if she had stepped into the breeding place of livestock, without knocking on the door or asking questions, but just walked in so plainly, and this blandness revealed contempt for the people in the room.

Sakura also seemed to be used to it, but she just raised her head and glanced at the visitor with empty eyes, then turned her gaze to the album in her hand again, and did not say a word.

The man was a bald man, with mummified limbs. The deep sunken eye sockets revealed a delicate light, and the look in Sakura's eyes was very strange, with anxiety, annoyance, and even a hint of murderous intent.

The dirty inkstone of the Makiri, the head of the Maki family, is Sakura's nominal grandfather and the initiator of Sakura's hellish life.

Because the relationship between the attributes of the cherry blossoms themselves and the magic system of the family of the horses. Her titular grandfather had always wanted to implant a subordinate demon called the Marker Worm into Sakura's body, intending to transform Sakura's body by means that would make life worse than death.

Every time she thinks about this, Sakura is full of despair about this world, if it weren't for the hope that has been supporting her, maybe she would not be on the edge of hell now, but completely fall into hell.

The eyes in the sockets of the eyes of the Tsukiri Yanna had a terrifying color, and he waved his hand at Rin.

"Hum—"

Sakura's usual voice resounded through the basement again. Once again, a cold and terrifying aura permeated the gloomy room.

Two strangely shaped flying insects emerged out of nowhere, obscuring the already dim light. Rushing towards Sakura like a crowd. Both types of flying insects are rushing towards Sakura, but they are in very different parts. One was towards her chest, the other was towards her... Lower body away.

Rin continued to trace his back with the brush in his hand as if he hadn't noticed the flying insects that permeated the room.

'Whew-'

The sound of a sword roaring like a blade out of her body instantly resounded in the dimly lit room, and noble and mysterious dark golden energy emanated from Sakura's body, and finally condensed a phantom made of energy in front of her.

The appearance of the phantom looks like a kitchen knife that has been magnified several times, and when he sees this strange weapon, his expression suddenly tightened, and his eyes were slowly hideous and fearful.

'Woo-'

The sound of the breach resounded, and the sound of insects flapping their wings in the entire room was suddenly suffocated. Then the withered yellow light shone again into the room. Countless flying insects instantly turned into ashes, and the strong wind carried by them when they reappeared between the phantoms blew out of the room, causing the entire room to return to calm.

"Abominable, abominable, abominable, what kind of power is this!!"

As usual, this made the scene of Jian Tong Dirty Yan going crazy for ten years, igniting the anger that had accumulated in his heart for 10 years.

This power has been guarding Sakura for ten years, as long as it is harmful to Sakura or makes Sakura do what she doesn't want to do, it will emerge, and even Sakura can't control it. It's like half a year ago, his grandson Shinji Makiri tried to mistreat Sakura, but he didn't take advantage of it at all, but was cut off by the power that gushed out of Sakura's body. If Sakura hadn't stopped it in time, Shinji might have been broken into pieces half a year ago.

"Bastard, what the hell did you pass on to me?"

The endless anger in his heart made Jian Tong Yan crazy, and the Fifth Holy Grail War had begun. But his original plan was to work hard for ten years without success, how did this not make him crazy.

Jian Tong's dirty inkstone's expression became cloudy, and finally his eyes suddenly burst with murderous intent. A voice full of madness roared: "Kill him for me!! With his hoarse shouts, a figure appeared at his side out of thin air.

The figure is completely black. With a white mask on his face, he couldn't see the specific appearance, but he could only see the ignorant pairs. It is like a pupil without consciousness. The whole person was shrouded in a black cloak.

Assassin！！！

This is the back hand prepared by the Kiriki inkstone, which was originally only chosen to avoid unexpected changes in Sakura, but even he didn't expect that his plan would fail so completely, so he summoned it when the Holy Grail War was about to begin.

To get back to the point, at the moment when Assassin appeared out of thin air, several short black daggers **** out, attacking Sakura from all directions, although scattered, but there was only one target...... That's Rin's heart.

The mysterious knife shook again, but this time it didn't leave its place, as if it didn't care about the incoming dagger, and the blade trembled slightly, and it separated from the dagger with a tiny number of slashes.

'Woo-'

The slash instantly pierced the void and collided with several daggers, and at the moment of collision, the daggers turned into dust without even a crisp sound, and completely disappeared as if they had never appeared.

Seeing this, the Dirty Inkstone looked more and more annoyed, and the Assassin seemed to feel the anger of his master. A flash of red appeared in his hollow and godless eyes, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

"Zabaniya"

With a hoarse and hollow voice, a phantus vaguely appeared in the Assassin, looking like Sakura sitting quietly at the head of the bed, and the Assassin's arm stabbed straight into the chest of the phantom in front of him, where the heart was.

'Poof-'

With a muffled sound, his palm stabbed into the phantom's heart in an instant, and at the same time, an invisible mana invaded Rin's body almost at the same time, heading straight for his heart.

However, this external energy entered the body, but it seemed to provoke the anger of the 'tenant' who had always existed in Ying's body, and the dark golden spiritual pressure suddenly disintegrated and eliminated the strange mana, but it did not stop there, and the heavenly spiritual pressure rose out of thin air, and immediately pressed on the two people at the door.

'Hmph-'

The huge pressure that burst into it made the two of them bow suddenly, and they all let out a muffled snort. The Assassin was in good shape, but the corners of his mouth were flushed, and his expression was full of pain, and his eyes turned terrified when he looked at Sakura.

"Thank you, stop!"

Just when the dirty inkstone was about to be unable to support it, Sakura's gentle voice sounded, sweeping away the pressure in the entire room.

"Poof—"

The sudden disappearance of the monstrous pressure made Jian Tong's dirty inkstone suddenly spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his face became pale for a while.

After relieving the pain in his body, he took a deep look at Sakura, who was still sitting quietly at the head of the bed and carefully drawing his back, and finally left the room with Assassin, leaving Sakura alone to quietly draw the picture album in his hand.

On the other side, the dirty inkstone of the house, who left the room, suddenly took out a strange object from his arms, looking like a fragment.

"It's been 10 years, and I've been planning since the moment I got this little chalice fragment, but I ......" He didn't continue, but glanced back at the entrance to the underground and sighed heavily, then he turned his gaze to the only room in the entire courtyard that was lit.

The moment he saw this room, there was a sense of struggle in his expression, and finally he gritted his teeth fiercely, and the meaning of struggle disappeared completely, and was replaced by endless madness.

And there is only one person living in the room that the dirty inkstone is looking at, and that is his grandson, the only seedling of the Jian Tong family - Shinji Ma Tong! (To be continued.) )
