Chapter 54: Wait, I Became an Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon?

~7 min read 1,333 words

Regardless, after three days of research, he had more or less digested all the Magic of the Matou family, including the records regarding the Holy Grail system.

Although this didn't have much meaning, at the very least it let him know how to charge the Holy Grail, right?

Besides, it was perfectly fine for him to just craft a few Command Spells while idle, or perform an irregular Summoning of a few Servants.

After charging the Greater Grail a little bit at Ryudou Temple and helping the Holy Grail gather the Magic required to start the Holy Grail War in advance.

As expected... no Command Spells appeared on Su Nian's hands.

"Wait, where are my Command Spells? That shouldn't be right, should it?"

Looking at the back of his hands, which were smooth and devoid of any marks, Su Nian fell into deep thought.

"Brother Su Nian?"

Sakura, who was on the side, gently tugged at Su Nian's sleeve, wanting Su Nian to look over.

"Hm? What is it, Sakura?"

Su Nian crouched down and gently stroked Sakura's head, and at this moment, Su Nian saw the Command Spells that had inexplicably appeared on the back of Sakura's hand.

Su Nian was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat bewildered and lost.

No, I personally charged the Greater Grail, modified the Servant Summoning system, and prepared to participate in the Holy Grail War.

As it turns out, the Command Spells didn't appear on my hands, but instead ran onto Sakura's hand.

For a moment, Su Nian was almost laughed to anger.

There was definitely someone playing tricks here, or rather, it was blatantly obvious that they didn't want him to summon a Heroic Spirit.

"Are these Command Spells? Sakura, have you become a Master?"

Matou Sakura nodded slightly, but her expression was not at all as lively as before, and was even somewhat dejected.

It was as if she already knew she was about to be abandoned.

"Brother Su Nian, will you also abandon me? Just like Mother and Grandfather did."

Sakura was still a child after all, and in the end, she couldn't keep things hidden.

Just a moment ago, when Su Nian was charging the Greater Grail, Command Spells suddenly appeared on the back of Sakura's hand, and along with the Command Spells came information from the Counter Force.

The Counter Force entrusted her to participate in the Holy Grail War and summon a Heroic Spirit to help the Counter Force repel the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon that had suddenly appeared in this world.

As for who the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon was, although the Counter Force didn't say, Sakura's intuition had already told her the answer.

That was Brother Su Nian, who had suddenly saved her.

In other words, is Brother Su Nian actually not a person of this world?

"Brother Su Nian, can you take me with you when you leave? I will be obedient and listen to you."

Sakura had tears in the corners of her eyes, clutching Su Nian's sleeve tightly, and said with a sobbing voice.

She only had Su Nian left now.

"Although I don't know how you found out, Sakura."

"But I can swear that I will definitely take Sakura with me when I leave."

Su Nian crouched in front of Sakura, gently wiped the tears from Sakura's face, and then extended his own hand.

"We can make a pinky promise."

After making the pact with Su Nian, Sakura broke into a smile through her tears and began to talk about what she had just encountered.

"Tsk, so in other words, all of this was done by the Counter Force?"

"How did I inexplicably become the villain?"

Su Nian was speechless for a moment; with the Counter Force pulling a stunt like this, he didn't even know what to say.

Su Nian thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why the Counter Force was targeting him like this.

Could it just be because he could completely blow up this planet in one second?

It's infuriating; when will we Planeswalkers ever be able to stand tall!

It couldn't be that they thought a God and Buddha hero of his caliber, comparable to a Four-digit entity, might actually fail, could it?

Forget it, I won't think about it; I'll just deal with whatever comes.

Anyway, unless a big shot like the Awakened One or someone from the Outer God lineage takes action, or someone from the Servant Universe pops out.

It is impossible for me to fail.

If all else fails... at worst, I'll just summon the Little Garden Central and let It handle these monsters and demons.

Anyway, to him, it's nothing more than a matter of how much Merit he harvests.

However, since it was an order from the Counter Force, Su Nian became curious about what exactly the Counter Force intended to summon to deal with him.

"Let's go, Sakura, we're going to summon a Heroic Spirit."

Su Nian held Sakura's hand and walked toward the place where the old worm had died, which was the worm shed.

"Brother Su Nian, is it really okay?"

Sakura was also a bit worried that the summoned Heroic Spirit would attack Su Nian; if they dared to hurt her Brother Su Nian.

No matter who it was, she would definitely make them pay the price.

"Daijoubu!"

Su Nian stopped the action of drawing the Heroic Spirit Summoning circle, turned around, and gave Sakura a thumbs up; failing was impossible.

Moreover, before summoning, he specifically optimized the Command Spells on Sakura's hand.

The coercive power of the Command Spells was greatly enhanced, and he also replaced the Magic power of the Command Spells with high-quality Magic: Divine Power.

Looking at Su Nian, Sakura could only nod strongly before continuing to watch Su Nian, who was crouching on the ground drawing the array with chalk.

Since it was a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Counter Force, does that mean the energy used for summoning is provided by the Counter Force?

As for using precious materials or anything like that, there was absolutely no need.

Let alone for someone like Su Nian, who had a bit of a hoarder personality.

"Alright Sakura, perform the Summoning according to the incantation I gave you."

Looking at the crooked and distorted formation on the ground, Su Nian clapped his hands happily; he intended to test the intensity of the Counter Force's targeting of him.

If he could actually summon something even with this, then he would really have to consider whether or not to teach those two little lolis a lesson.

Sakura obediently came to the center of the formation, extended her hand, took the Summoning incantation Su Nian had written for her, and began to recite it.

"Listen up."

"I provide you with magical energy, you work for me."

"Those dragged over by the Counter Force, who share similar opinions to mine, squeak if you can hear me."

"Let's get this straight first."

"I might do good deeds, and I might not do good deeds."

"I have three Command Spells; you will listen to me properly within seven days. Once it expires, get back to wherever you came from, and go find the Counter Force to reimburse your travel expenses."

Although Sakura was somewhat skeptical about whether such rude words could really summon a Heroic Spirit.

Yet, based on her trust in Su Nian, Sakura still recited the incantation Su Nian had given her.

Instead of the original incantation instilled in her by the Counter Force.

However, at this moment, a dazzling silver-white light still flickered within the magic circle originally drawn with chalk.

The next second, Su Nian felt a pull of the laws, a pull of a Spirit Status.

Although it was a very simple matter for him to refuse the Summoning.

He only needed a single thought to disrupt this magical ritual.

But this feeling of being pulled was coming from right beside him.
