Chapter 1622: The Self-Cultivation of a Cheater

In a hazy consciousness, Tohsaka Rin felt a trace of coolness coming from her back. It didn't hurt, just a little itchy.

"Hmm~"

A muddled Tohsaka Rin sat up, the silky blanket sliding off her body. She looked out the window, and the chirping of birds came.

"Is it already noon?"

Scratching her messy hair, Tohsaka Rin sat up wrapped in the blanket. Immediately, she felt a difference in her body; the magic power in her body had completely disappeared, and her magic circuits were empty.

This astonishing change made Tohsaka Rin lose her mind for a moment. Her past efforts had now been burned to ashes. This sense of disparity made her heart sink to the bottom. But in the next moment, she felt something strange on her back. Soon, she discovered that the magic power in her body was actually all at the position of her back, or rather, it had gathered together in some unknown place.

Barefoot, Tohsaka Rin ran to the mirror with a thud, pulled down the blanket on her back, and saw the alchemy array on her spine. This array was circular as a whole, and those crimson patterns almost filled her entire spine.

As Tohsaka Rin tried to activate her Gem Magic, a faint red light flowed on the Third Star Brilliance Alchemy Array. The entire array seemed to come alive, beautiful and magnificent.

If Tohsaka Rin's original maximum magic storage was 20, then she was at least 600 or more now. Of course, this didn't mean her strength had increased by 30 times. The power of Gem Magic hadn't changed; it still relied on her magic circuits. But the number of times she could use Gem Magic had increased significantly. To some extent, the Third Star Brilliance Alchemy Array replaced most of her magic circuits.

"Something like a storage device? Or a converter? What a magical technology."

Tohsaka Rin was very satisfied. Not to mention her magic storage capacity, just from the aesthetic point of view, she didn't reject this thing.

"Unexpected gain."

Tohsaka Rin smiled very happily, but in the next moment, Su Xiao's words poured over her like a basin of cold water.

"Don't be happy too early. The performance of the Third Star Brilliance Array is indeed excellent, but given your constitution, this thing can only be drawn, not engraved. If the Third Star Brilliance Alchemy Array were engraved on your back, it would be a miracle if you could crawl now. You can't bear that thing yet."

"Drawn? Engraved? What's the difference?"

Tohsaka Rin pulled up the blanket. Although she had been seen completely naked last night, she still had the shame of a lady, and it was quite substantial.

"Literal meaning. Drawing is painting it on, a consumable. Engraving is deep into your flesh and blood, a permanent gain."

"Then can I choose engraving?"

Sensing the surging magic power in her body, Tohsaka Rin's tone was firm. A magician's pursuit of magic was something ordinary people couldn't understand.

"Are you sure?"

Su Xiao drank a mouthful of seafood soup, the smile on his face becoming more and more gentle.

"A little... not so sure."

"That kind of power is not something you can bear. Because the materials are excellent, the array on your back can exist for 3 to 5 months. If used frequently, it can maintain for about 15 days to 1 month. After the array shatters, you will be weak for a few weeks. And while the array exists, don't try to fill it with magic power, otherwise you will regret it. If you want to become Star Brilliance, you can try."

"Star Brilliance?"

Tohsaka Rin knew nothing about alchemy, and naturally didn't know what Star Brilliance was.

"A rare biological material with an energy conduction power of e12 or higher. Most of them are transformed from intelligent creatures. When the Star Brilliance Alchemy Array was completed, it was once used as bait for power shortcuts. I don't know how many Star Brilliance dusts it contributed to alchemists, and I don't know how many people who craved power it pitted to death. After a dozen improvements, we have the current 'Third Star Brilliance Alchemy Array'."

"I don't want to become Star Brilliance dust at all. What is the safety limit?"

"About 95% or so. Exceed this energy storage limit, and you will... bang."

Su Xiao made an explosion gesture. Tohsaka Rin's mouth twitched. Sure enough, there was no free lunch in the world. While gaining power, she also had to bear certain risks.

"Can we go find other masters now? I feel like I'm very strong now."

"Of course... not."

Su Xiao said so much to Tohsaka Rin because he was in a very good mood. Through Bubu Wang's monitoring and his summary of the Blood Gate adventure group's movements, he had basically guessed what the Blood Gate's team main mission was.

At the beginning of the Holy Grail world, the people of the Blood Gate started purging the Qiyuezhe in this world. At that time, they still put the Artificial Holy Grail plan first. But after Su Xiao appeared, Stan decisively abandoned the Artificial Holy Grail plan. This wasn't because Stan was a coward, but because he put the team main mission first.

After the Blood Gate was attacked for the first time, they turned around and attacked the Kotomine Church and sealed off the Central Street area. This seemed to be luring Su Xiao to show up, but in reality, the Blood Gate's target wasn't Su Xiao. They just wanted to go to the Kotomine Church. As for sealing off the Central Street area, it was just to prevent Su Xiao from coming to stir up trouble.

The Blood Gate adventure group almost leveled the Kotomine Church. At that time, there was no one in the Kotomine Church, which meant they were looking for something, or the whereabouts of someone. After finding nothing, they blew up the Kotomine Church, using it as a smoke bomb to let Su Xiao mistakenly think this was a trap set for him.

At first, Su Xiao hadn't thought of this point. At that time, the battle between him and the Blood Gate was too intense. But shortly after, when he fought Golden Flash, Stan and the others arrived at an incredible speed, and he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

Stan and the others arrived too quickly. From the time they left the barrier in the suburbs to the time they approached the battlefield between Su Xiao and Golden Flash, the whole process was only a few hours. Being able to locate to such a precise degree could only explain one thing: Stan was looking for Kotomine Kirei.

Su Xiao and Stan had already fought to the death. At this time, the other party actually still had the leisure to look for Kotomine Kirei? The situation was already very clear: the Blood Gate's target was Kotomine Kirei, or rather, Kotomine Kirei was closely related to the Blood Gate's team main mission.

"Self-inflicted, cannot live."

Su Xiao couldn't help but laugh, because the current situation was very interesting. Stan had very likely dug a hole in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and now he was pushed into this hole by the team main mission.

Hearing Su Xiao's laughter, Tohsaka Rin, who was admiring the Star Brilliance array on the mirror, felt a chill down her spine, her heart tangled. She didn't know if it was good or bad to have such a Heroic Spirit.

Seeming to have figured something out, Su Xiao's mood became even better. If nothing went wrong, this Holy Grail War would end soon. Once the Blood Gate adventure group was solved, he could push forward all the way afterward.

"Rin, find a way to contact the Mage's Association, it's best to contact the Clock Tower directly, and tell them that Kotomine Kirei is stealing from his own house."

"This..."

Tohsaka Rin was a bit confused. Kotomine Kirei was from the Holy Church. If she wanted to report, it was obvious she should report to the Holy Church. Moreover, she herself was suspected of "cheating," having three Heroic Spirits to help. At this time, going to report Kotomine Kirei, she always had a sense of guilt as a cheater reporting someone else for using a bug.

"Just go and report. Rest assured, the Mage's Association will be more enthusiastic than you think about this matter."

Su Xiao's purpose was very simple: to find Kotomine Kirei before Stan. No matter what the other party wanted to get, catching Kotomine Kirei first was never wrong. As for reporting to the Mage's Association, this was using local forces to find Kotomine Kirei— ===== CHAPTER 1623 =====
