Chapter 1639: The Banshee and the Claws of the Magicians

There were only 22 hours and 41 minutes left until Su Xiao returned to the derived world, but he didn't seem anxious. The reason was very simple: his main task was to survive until the end of the Holy Grail War.

The so-called surviving until the end of the Holy Grail War could actually be interpreted in two ways. One was simply surviving; the comprehensive evaluation obtained this way wouldn't be too high, but with the number of Heroic Spirits Su Xiao had killed, the comprehensive evaluation wouldn't be too low either.

As for the second type, it was artificially accelerating the end of the Holy Grail, summoning the Holy Grail within the 11-day time limit.

If Su Xiao hadn't been hurting each other with the Blood Gate in this world, he could have done this. But he had first had a life-and-death struggle with the Blood Gate, and only then went to find other Heroic Spirits. Most of the 11 days had been consumed in the struggle with the Blood Gate. Right now, the remaining time was obviously insufficient.

Letting Tohsaka Rin use the family affection card to find Matou Sakura was also a last resort. If Su Xiao hadn't guessed wrong, there was absolutely an old schemer behind Matou Sakura giving guidance, otherwise she wouldn't have remained hidden from start to finish. By now, Su Xiao didn't even know who Matou Sakura's Heroic Spirit was.

If Matou Sakura had really been saved by the Blood Gate during her childhood, then judging from the Blood Gate's purpose of creating a Holy Grail, Matou Sakura would at least maintain a pure and kind heart. Only then would she be the best Holy Grail container.

Would Matou Sakura, who was as sweet as a candy, know how to remain low-key throughout the Holy Grail War? Completely impossible. If Su Xiao's deduction was correct, she not only had an old schemer behind her who held goodwill toward her, but there might even be other contractors helping.

60 kilometers south of Fuyuki City, a quiet little village.

Tap~

The deer-scarer folded, and the clear water within the bamboo tube flowed out, making a crisp sound of green bamboo colliding.

This was a natural canyon, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Several wooden houses were built within the canyon, and wisps of cooking smoke rose, looking stable and peaceful.

"Sakura, don't be shy, come together."

A plump woman was soaking in the spring water. It was noon, and there was nothing more comfortable than soaking in the cool mountain spring pool.

On the shore near the plump woman, a set of black soft armor was neatly placed. This armor looked very much like a black tight-fitting suit, especially the two cat ears on the helmet which were particularly eye-catching.

"I, I don't want to."

Matou Sakura hugged her chest with both hands, looking somewhat shy. Same as Su Xiao's speculation, in order to create a Holy Grail, the Blood Gate had indeed sent Matou Sakura to a relatively reliable magic mentor, thereby letting the other party protect Matou Sakura's growth.

This time, it was a rare opportunity for Matou Sakura to leave the Zhong Ta. Although her mentor was an old man, he was a famous "disciple-protecting maniac" in the Zhong Ta. If it weren't for the original contract, he wouldn't have let Matou Sakura participate in the Holy Grail War before she reached adulthood and possessed self-protection ability. Even because of the original contract, that old man had also gotten Matou Sakura an extremely powerful Holy Relic, a stone eye.

"You cat, how long are you going to deceive my Master."

Another slightly lazy female voice came. This voice was both lazy and evil.

"If it weren't for me, your cute Master would have been hacked by a 'sister-slashing maniac' long ago. That guy was as strong as a monster a long time ago. Do you think... I am very weak?"

The plump woman in the spring water spoke. She stood up from the spring water, and four crisscrossing scars were distributed on her back. One could see that these scars were all deep to the bone, and all of them had been fatal wounds.

"This is what he gave me when I met him last time. That was several derived... several years ago. Back then, dozens of idiots with strength similar to mine besieged that guy, and the result was obvious. We all failed."

Water droplets slid down the woman's naked body. She walked onto the shore and began to put on that black soft armor. If Su Xiao were present, he might not recognize this naked woman, but after the other party put on the soft armor, Su Xiao would definitely remember who the other party was: the masked woman, that tight-fitting cat woman who had fought him at the Sabaody Archipelago.

As for the other woman in the spring water, she was Matou Sakura's Heroic Spirit. She didn't look special, but she had a move that could almost kill all Heroic Spirits in seconds.

"So you're afraid?"

The female Heroic Spirit raised her arm, not caring too much about the masked woman's rhetoric.

"Believe me, in another 22 hours, we will be the winners."

The masked woman smiled sweetly. This feeling of plotting against Su Xiao was no longer a secret pleasure for her, but an explosive pleasure. Back then, she had been hacked by Su Xiao until she was autistic.

The masked woman was teleported to the Holy Grail World according to the normal progress. Her task was very simple: survive until the end of the Holy Grail War, or rather, apart from the people of the Blood Gate, other lone wolves had similar tasks.

As a Tier 4 lone wolf, the masked woman felt something was wrong as soon as she arrived in the Holy Grail World. The main task was too simple, so she used a permission she had saved for a long time, thereby obtaining the permission to view the data of the six Masters and seven Heroic Spirits.

When the masked woman saw "Saber class: White Night," she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Her thought back then was: "Damn, am I dreaming? This sister-slashing maniac became a Saber class? Paradise, are you kidding me?"

After exploration, the masked woman learned an even more explosive piece of news: one of the overlords within Tier 4, the Blood Gate adventure group, was also in this world, and had already started clearing the field.

After roaring "rnmmp" in her heart, the masked woman fled Fuyuki City. Just as she was preparing to go far away and take the lowest evaluation, she discovered the scene where Su Xiao and Stan were greeting each other in the contact platform.

This made the masked woman's mind active. And when she checked Matou Sakura's Heroic Spirit, her mind became even more active.

Matou Sakura (Master), affiliated Heroic Spirit, Rider class: Medusa (Banshee).

Matou Sakura's Heroic Spirit didn't look much different from the original, but in reality, it wasn't so. The masked woman noticed the two words "Banshee," which was the key point.

The Medusa originally summoned by Matou Sakura was in the form of a goddess. It sounded very beautiful, but when she was a goddess, apart from being beautiful, Medusa didn't have anything very strong.

And after Medusa was cursed by Athena into a Banshee, her combat power soared straight up. This was completely two Heroic Spirits. If it was said that the combat power of Medusa in goddess form was 5, then the Banshee form was at least 60 or more. The petrifying eyes were a terrifying ability that could kill gods in seconds.

From the perspective of single-target power, she wasn't weaker than Gilgamesh's Ea. Looking at each other, even gods would fall, let alone Gilgamesh, who was a demigod.

Noticing this, the masked woman decisively thought of ways to hug a big thigh. After really hugging it and testing it, the masked woman discovered that Matou Sakura's personality was quite good, and her experience was completely different from the original work; there was no possibility of turning evil at all.

Fuyuki City, inside an abandoned laboratory.

With a sizzle, the broken cable flashed with sparks, illuminating the laboratory intermittently. In the corner, various types of living creatures were soaked within towering glass columns.

"So, Matou Sakura has already left Fuyuki City? Even if the Holy Grail War is led by your Mage Association, but your claws... aren't they reaching too far?"

Su Xiao wiped the blood from his hands. Near him lay several corpses of magicians.

"This is... the order of a certain big shot, it has nothing to do with us."

A magician nearly thirty years old leaned against the laboratory equipment, full of fear, fresh blood dripping along his chin.

"Then, where is Matou Sakura now?"

With a click, the Endless Darkness collar in Su Xiao's hand popped open.
