Chapter 522: Little Holy Grail Tao Baibai

【Special Milestone: True Savior (World's Rare Treasure): Save the world 3 times (1/3) (Must have world collapse value exceed the limit, or human death toll exceed 80%)】

【You have obtained Scavenger Scarlet Drop Card *1】

Bai Cangshu picked up the drop card in front of him, while simultaneously checking the various space notifications that had appeared during this period.

The most special one was this milestone named 【True Savior】; a milestone with a quality as high as World's Rare Treasure was something even Bai Cangshu had rarely heard of.

It was very clear that the trigger condition for this milestone likely required truly saving the world, not the kind of salvation on the scale of tens of thousands of people that the Evil Savior had previously performed.

This was a milestone that could only be triggered by turning the tide in a crisis that truly involved the destruction of the world.

Even for Bai Cangshu, if he were not in this world, he would likely have been unable to achieve it.

Because he was granted the status of 【Servant】 at the very beginning in this world, he obtained the prerequisite conditions for turning his Noble Phantasm into reality.

Moreover, the Type-Moon World's Counter Force was incredibly active, actively facilitating the birth of heroes and granting Bai Cangshu additional bonuses.

Root Shiki also reappeared on the desolate land; with just a movement of her eyes, a white kimono appeared, completely wrapping her body.

Her iridescent gaze looked at Bai Cangshu, and the short blade in her hand had already vanished.

Those 【Mystic Eyes of Death Perception】 were top-tier Mystic Eyes within the Infinite Dimensional Space; aside from a few types like 【Mimicry】, they could almost grant the user the highest level of performance.

In the path of slaughter, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception possessed an irreplaceable advantage.

And Bai Cangshu... liked slaughter.

Root Shiki saw the greed in the eyes of this beast who had just "saved" the world clearly, and the corners of her mouth still held a mocking arc.

"The beast did indeed save the world, but the beast also destroyed the world..."

Root Shiki was connected to the Root; she could know most of the things happening in this world. It could not be called true omniscience and omnipotence, but the gap was not as large as one might imagine.

When the 【Root】 needed it, she could truly reach that level.

Tao Baibai had caused her blade that was meant to sever the ritual to deviate, the purpose being to let the ritual proceed, only to save the world with his own hands in the end.

The purpose of carrying out such contradictory actions was naturally to allow him to obtain some kind of benefit from it.

A beast who would put the entire world on the verge of destruction for his own goals was nevertheless recognized as a 【Savior】.

"What a wicked Savior..."

Root Shiki's figure suddenly dissipated like a phantom, which left Bai Cangshu feeling extremely regretful.

Root Shiki was ultimately a bit too troublesome; if it were Ryougi Shiki... Bai Cangshu would have tried to seize those Mystic Eyes no matter what.

Whether a person is strong or not does not depend entirely on whether they can kill the other party.

Ryougi Shiki did indeed possess the possibility of killing Bai Cangshu because of those Mystic Eyes, but the absolute gap in physical ability, as well as the lack of other capabilities, would grant Bai Cangshu an overwhelming advantage.

If killed, one dies, but Bai Cangshu had the confidence that he would not be struck, and could even make the opponent unable to swing a blade at him.

Patter, patter, patter.

Because the building complex of Fuyuki City had been pulverized by Bai Cangshu's Shocking Thunder Roar—used while in the dual transformation of Despair Savior Mode and Kaioken—leaving behind barren, ruined land.

Subsequently, because that Longinus Spear had pierced the tectonic plate twice, a massive uplift appeared in the center of Fuyuki City, and the city's terrain had completely changed.

The citizens of Fuyuki City, who had just recovered their human forms from the state of Lcl Zhi Shui, could not make sense of the situation at all. Amidst the massive chaos, that crisp sound of footsteps was not particularly conspicuous.

But Bai Cangshu, from the crowd in the distance, clearly captured that figure wearing a bamboo hat.

The other party was surrounded by pitch-black Ghost Qi, had a sturdy build, and as they walked, several Tachi appeared in their hands.

This was a Servant; because their Master had died and they had lost their supply of Magic Power, they could not even hide their figure to avoid the notice of ordinary people.

With palms as large as palm-leaf fans gripping several Tachi, they were less like a swordsman and more like a wrestler.

They walked straight toward Bai Cangshu from the crowd, and Bai Cangshu also revealed a smile.

"Are you the Heroic Spirit summoned by that guy, Baimian?"

"Truly unexpectedly mediocre."

The Servant wearing the bamboo hat exuded Ghost Qi and malice, and combined with those sharp blades, it had long since caused the surrounding crowd to scream and scatter into the distance like ants.

Crowding and trampling began to occur.

Ilya stood behind Bai Cangshu, turning a blind eye to those bloody events; she did not feel there was any problem with it.

The reason she believed she had found a kindred spirit after seeing Bai Cangshu's true emotions and inner self was that both of them were actually exceptionally cold and lacked the moral sense of good and evil of normal people.

Bai Cangshu was a fake person who was proficient in disguise and acting almost exactly like a normal person, while Ilya was a doll with an exquisite exterior but an interior hollowed out by Moluhuilu. "Assassin, kill him!"

Ilya raised her hand, and the luster of Command Spells lit up on her body; she was covered in Command Spells, so she was actually very powerful when fighting in coordination with a Servant.

【Based on the Assassin class, you have gained the buff of Command Spells】

【Energy output increased by 20%】

【All attributes increased by 25%】

A faint luster of Magic Power appeared all over Bai Cangshu's body; he rarely experienced being continuously affected by various buff effects like this in this world.

This made Bai Cangshu somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Even though he had ended the Kaioken, the words 【Limiter opening amplitude: 6%】 were still clearly hanging in his status bar at this moment.

This thing was likely not a temporarily activated buff effect, but a permanent state.

It was just like a valve that had been pried open by a certain angle and would not close naturally.

Bai Cangshu thought this as he saw his physical attributes begin to fluctuate again after the Command Spell bonus.

This was the effect of the 【Limiter】; upon sensing that he needed to become stronger, he would begin to become stronger, but because the current opening amplitude of Bai Cangshu's Limiter was too low, it could not allow him to strengthen significantly or even show an exponential increase.

Ghost Qi suddenly appeared from behind Bai Cangshu.

The bamboo-hatted Servant, the legendary warrior monk 【Musashibo Benkei】 who held the title of 【Ghost of Great Strength】, emerged from the Ghost Qi, and several Tachi suddenly stabbed toward Bai Cangshu's back.

Clang! Crack!

The blades seemed to strike forged steel, snapping into pieces in an instant.

Whoosh~

Blazing flames ignited immediately, and Bai Cangshu turned his head back; amidst the flames, a palm as large as a palm-leaf fan reached out, grabbing toward Bai Cangshu's head—Musashibo Benkei was rumored to have the legend of 【Sword Hunting】, being able to seize various weapons with his bare hands.

However, Bai Cangshu did not use a weapon at all; he pointed his fingers like a sword, and like a streak of pitch-black sword light, he plunged into that giant palm in an instant.

Pfft!

A spray of blood erupted from behind the shoulder of Lancer Musashibo Benkei.

The monk soldier's massive body took two heavy steps back; as if he could not feel pain, he reached his hands behind his back, and Ghost energy instantly condensed into a long spear.

As he brandished it, the Ghost energy manifested in a dense, terrifying display.

But under the enhancement of the Command Spell, Bai Cangshu did not give the opponent any chance to Release their Noble Phantasm; he dissipated his sword-finger, clenched his right hand into a fist, and suddenly punched the air.

Boom!

Freezing air suddenly erupted from his fist.

The next moment, the monk soldier, lacking Magic Power support, was instantly frozen along with the surrounding air into a giant block of ice several meters tall.

【Heaven Frost Fist】!

Bai Cangshu took a step forward and appeared behind the frozen Musashibo Benkei, then lightly tapped it with his finger.

Crack—bang!

The ice block shattered with a roar, and Lancer vanished along with the curling wisps of Ghost energy.

【You have defeated Servant Musashibo Benkei, obtained C-rank Singularity *1, Dimension Point 3000】

【Main Mission: Flower of Evil progress updated】

As if guided by something, the moment the ice shattered and Lancer disappeared, the Heart Vortex behind Bai Cangshu surged wildly once more.

Having completely seen into Ilya's heart during the Human Instrumentality Project, Bai Cangshu completed the acquisition of that nature with almost no effort.

In that same instant, he also sensed a certain special existence entering his body.

Swish—

A purple flash appeared, and the beautiful Medusa arrived with her Master, once again observing the anomalies in Fuyuki City from several thousand meters away.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin also arrived with their respective Heroic Spirits; their expressions were strange, as if they did not know what they had seen during the Human Instrumentality Project, or perhaps what they had encountered.

Qishiwang Aertuoliya and the Heroic Spirit Emiya were a step faster, already standing in front of their Masters, guardedly watching Assassin Tao Baibai, whose aura had become even more terrifying in the short time they had been apart.

"Assassin, kill..."

Just as Ilya was about to give the order, the pitch-black giant came sprinting over.

Yet, amidst the guarded gazes of the several Heroic Spirits, Bai Cangshu lightly patted his own stomach.

"Ha—not bad, not bad..."

"I have a good place in mind, and I would like to invite you all to take a look."
