Chapter 502: Noble Phantasm-ization: Heart Vortex (EX)

【You have killed Reincarnator fs60078541, Sin Point +1】

【You have accommodated the Special Spirit Body: Reaper (Incomplete), Energy +1, Current:?】

Between breaths, Bai Cangshu's loose hair slowly drifted down; he reached out and collected the two Scarlet Drop Cards that had condensed before him.

It was a pity that the sudden attack by Rider Medusa left him no time to slowly consume the complete Reaper-enhanced Reincarnator into his body, forcing him to kill the opponent, but fortunately, he had obtained a fragment.

Bai Cangshu had not yet had the chance to return to the Consciousness Space to see what was special about the guardian spirit he had absorbed earlier or the Reaper fragment he had just absorbed.

On the first night of entering this Fate world, battles followed one after another.

At this moment, he looked up and saw Ilya using Gold Needle Magic to shape her own hair, after which several pigeon-like familiars successfully caught her from the air.

There was no need for him to go out of his way to catch her.

In terms of personal strength alone, Ilya should be significantly higher than the likes of the standard Tohsaka Rin or Emiya Shirou at this moment.

It was just that most of the magi in this world, when unable to obtain the Five Great Magics, did not possess high enough lethality; those capable of fighting against 【Servants】 were already a tiny minority.

Therefore, in the eyes of a Reincarnator of Bai Cangshu's level, these magi themselves were the biggest breakthrough points in the Holy Grail War.

Even a magus with vast Magic Power like Ilya had a high chance of being killed instantly.

Ilya landed and looked at Bai Cangshu, whose body was stained with quite a bit of blood, yet she smiled very happily, clapping her hands as if a young girl seeing a favorite toy.

"With Ilya's Magic Power support, Assassin has become even more powerful..."

"Now Ilya acknowledges that you will definitely be able to kill that person for me."

The girl's innocent face blended with slaughter and blood, giving one an abnormally twisted feeling, but Bai Cangshu nodded gladly.

"Yes, with your Magic Power support, I think I can easily kill that person."

【You have triggered the Side Mission: Slaying Father】

【Mission Details: The young girl Ilya hopes you can kill the Magus Killer: Emiya Kiritsugu】

【Mission Reward: C-rank Singularity *1, Random Item *1 (Quality no lower than Rare)】

Seeing this Side Mission, Bai Cangshu's gaze shifted; if one followed the direction of the plot, Emiya Kiritsugu should have already died at this point in time.

But the space's missions would not be wrong, which meant that some changes had occurred here...

Bai Cangshu took this detail into his considerations; when he entered this world to read the mission, he had been affected by the Inhibitory Force, causing an error, and thus some Intelligence had not been obtained normally.

It was highly probable that some Reincarnators within this world had already entered it previously and participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, leading to some subtle changes in the ending.

But from the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu did not appear when he just encountered Emiya Shirou and Saber, one could tell that that guy's condition could not be considered intact either.

"Assassin, let's go find Berserker; that group of people used some kind of Magic, and I have lost my perception of Berserker, nor can the Command Spell make Him return to my side directly."

Ilya, wearing a white fur hat, spoke crisply; her expression was uncharacteristically vivid, as Berserker was likely one of the very few humans she truly felt concern for nowadays.

Bai Cangshu looked at the sky, which was already turning slightly white, thought for a moment, nodded, and said,

"I roughly know where that group of people comes from; perhaps we should find a more suitable way to go say hello."

On the panel in front of Bai Cangshu, several types of abilities were currently displayed.

Ilya was right; with her Magic Power supply, Assassin Tao Baibai had indeed gained a not-insignificant enhancement; at least, as the strongest trump card for a 【Heroic Spirit】, the Noble Phantasm aspect could be considered supplemented.

【Please choose any of the following abilities or items to serve as the Noble Phantasm supplement】

【A, Black Sword Dragon Slayer—Noble Phantasm-ization: Sin Abyss Sword (B+): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm; the souls of those killed are entangled in the sword body; releasing the Noble Phantasm can release all entangled souls at once, erupting with immense destructive power】

【B, Lord of the Realm—Noble Phantasm-ization: Lord of No Light (A): Anti-Army Noble Phantasm; passively reduces damage from any energy attacks, strips away all light within the range, and prohibits energy, active enhancement, etc.】

【C, Void Core—Noble Phantasm-ization: Soul Mask (B+): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm; when held, attacks will simultaneously attack the soul; after release, transforms into a Spirit Body, possessing the ability to directly attack Spirit Bodies】

【D, Martial Arts Grandmaster—Noble Phantasm-ization: Martial God Body (B): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm; the body transforms into a perfect martial body, martial arts techniques are additionally raised by 2 levels; after release, can forcibly push a designated ability to Lv7】

【E, Killing Intent Imprint: Prohibition—Noble Phantasm-ization: Killing Intent Imprint (A+): Anti-City Noble Phantasm; perfect control over Killing Intent Wave, Killing Intent Wave level raised to Lv7; after release, spreads killing intent throughout the city, and all living beings who die within the killing intent will be turned into puppets】...

Bai Cangshu coveted almost every single attribute; this 【Noble Phantasm-ization】 attribute was almost a targeted enhancement of most of the abilities and items on his person, and the direction of the enhancement was mostly very suitable for his combat style.

Even the Black Sword, which was the least fitting for Bai Cangshu here, could bring Bai Cangshu an extremely powerful explosive strike after transforming into a Noble Phantasm.

Because the original owner of this sword had likely already committed countless slaughters in that world while holding it; combined with Bai Cangshu's slaughter, the explosive power of the strike after release was terrifying.

And the other items had effects that made Bai Cangshu even more tempted; although the Martial God Body was only B-rank, the effect of being able to push a designated ability to Lv7 was, in Bai Cangshu's view, no less than an EX-rank Noble Phantasm.

He possessed a heaven-defying ability like Kaioken; once pushed to Lv7, as long as Bai Cangshu's physical body did not collapse, it could almost directly turn him into a Flesh Titan; that kind of power, just thinking about it, made Bai Cangshu uncontrollably want to choose this option.

Ilya, walking beside Bai Cangshu, curiously sized up this Assassin who had voluntarily become her Servant.

A thick, bloody stench radiated from the other party; it was not just from the two people he had just killed—the scent of slaughter radiated from within this guy's body.

That scent was even thicker and more malicious than the scent on Berserker.

But she felt no ill will toward such a nasty guy; or rather, only such a fierce guy could make her feel more at ease.

Just like being abandoned in the dense forest by her family, facing the endless attacks of beasts and Monsters, only Berserker, who was so violent that every time he drew Magic Power it made her feel excruciating pain, could give her a sense of security.

Bai Cangshu's gaze wandered continuously among the various options, hovering between 【Martial God Body】 and 【Killing Intent Imprint】, but the next moment, his eyes moved to the very bottom, and he saw an option that made it even harder for him to look away.

【G, Super Limit Spiral—Noble Phantasm-ization: Heart Vortex (EX): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm; accepts the vortex flow of the Root of Vortex, transforming into a Heart Vortex; the Super Limit Spiral possesses the ability to observe the Magic and Human Order of this world; after release, it will directly open the Heart Vortex, forcibly understanding the target it comes into contact with, and obtaining the same essence as it】

Heart Vortex, the vortex flow of the Root of Vortex...

This was almost the Noble Phantasm-ization ability with the highest degree of integration with this world, though the Description was also the most vague.

The observation of Magic could still be understood, but the observation of Human Order was already meaningless; as for obtaining the same essence as the target after opening the Heart Vortex, this point of the Description was even more obscure.

Bai Cangshu suddenly lowered his head and glanced at the silver-haired girl.

The same essence as the target...

As a Living Little Holy Grail, the girl seemed to be used to store the Heroic Spirits of dead Servants...

A flash of inspiration crossed Bai Cangshu's mind, and the expression on his face was almost out of control for a moment; he covered his somewhat twisted face and made his choice directly.

【You have completed the Class correction; in this world, you will obtain Noble Phantasm-ization correction and possess the ability to release Noble Phantasms, but it will cause additional Magic Power consumption】

Ilya's brows furrowed, but it disappeared immediately; she had long since adapted to the overly massive Magic Power extraction; the violent Demigod that was Berserker made her surprised by this level of Magic Power extraction, but she could accept it.

As the two spoke, they had already arrived at a hillside; in the distance, one could see a quite elegant mansion.

A flash of light appeared in Bai Cangshu's hand, and a firearm full of a sense of technology appeared in his hand.

Ilya looked at the weapon that seemed completely different from modern technology and asked curiously,

"Assassin, is this your Noble Phantasm?"

Bai Cangshu shook his head. His eyes watched Ilya; the Magic Power circuits on her body and the Command Spells spread across her skin all emitted a unique aura, which was "seen" by his eyes.

"Times have changed, Master. This is not a Noble Phantasm; it is technology..."

Bai Cangshu picked up the H-gun and aimed at the large mansion below, but finding the range insufficient, he thought for a moment and simply switched to the Gravity Gun; he had replaced the basic firearms in his inventory with Gantz-series firearms.

These auto-locking weapons were better suited for a Reincarnator like him who had absolutely no Shooting Mastery.

Ilya stood at a high vantage point, watching her Servant pull the trigger again and again, followed by a rumbling sound vaguely appearing from the Heaven.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The elegant wooden Japanese-style courtyard was instantly reduced to smithereens, and blood of unknown origin began to flow from within.

Facing this kind of slaughter-like assassination, Ilya instead revealed an innocent smile.

【You have killed Matou Shinji and obtained E-rank Singularity *1】
