Chapter 331: The Third Magic User

In the spacious bedroom, the orange-haired girl kept rolling around on the bed, finally burying her head under the covers and letting out a muffled voice: "Mashu, what do you think Li Ang has been doing lately?"

Mashu closed the cookbook in her hands and ventured a guess: "Probably researching the Greater Holy Grail?"

Hearing this, Tokiomi raised her head, sounding envious: "Mashu, why is Li Ang so strong in both combat and research?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help imagining what it would be like if she had such abilities.

Punching Geryon, kicking the Lostbelts.

Hehehe.

Watching the foolish grin on Gudako's face, Mashu spoke seriously: "Senior, be practical—you don't need to emulate Li Ang as the Master of Chaldea."

Tokiomi was pulled back to reality.

Just as the two girls were talking, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Tokiomi opened the door to find a blond man eyeing her curiously: "You must be Tokiomi, right? The Highness sent me to assist you in building the Spirit-Substance Computational Device."

The visitor was naturally Atlasia, the director of the Atlas Institute.

The reason he appeared here was simple: he had learned of Chaldea's existence from Li Ang.

Hearing that the Parallel World's Atlas Institute had helped this organization build a next-generation Spirit-Substance Computational Device, he was naturally very curious.

At that moment, Gudako realized his identity and immediately stepped aside politely: "Please come in."

As soon as Atlasia entered the bedroom, a blue phantom appeared in the room.

It was Da Vinci.

As Chaldea's last remaining technician, the brown-haired girl naturally wouldn't be absent.

Soon, the two technicians began chatting.

Tokiomi sat idly to the side, zoning out, until much later Atlasia walked up to her: "Heh, if you're bored, why not take those Servants and ease the Highness's burdens?"

The orange-haired girl snapped back to attention, momentarily confused.

Before she could ask, Atlasia continued: "Recently, some unaffiliated Servants have appeared within the planet. Though not powerful, they've still caused some disturbances."

"Huh?! That wasn't me."

Gudako froze—since surrendering, she hadn't summoned a single Servant.

The blond man chuckled and said: "It's just the last burst of madness. The Highness doesn't suspect you."

"Good."

Tokiomi scratched her head, secretly relieved, but immediately her eyes ignited with determination.

After so many idle days, she finally had something to do again.

Whatever the case, treat it as rehabilitation before going home.

Thinking this, Gudako immediately took Mashu to find the Servants, now transferred into the 【Universal Servant Doll】.

……

In the bright laboratory.

Li Ang stared blankly at the interface.

He knew about the unaffiliated Servants appearing on the planet—no doubt the work of the Counterforce.

But without Gudako as a conduit, they could only summon a bunch of trash, so Li Ang paid it no mind.

Besides, he had more important matters now.

After a period of research, he had completed the analysis of the Third Magic—but analysis didn't mean mastery.

Like solving a math problem: knowing the formula doesn't mean you can solve it.

Just

【Successfully analyzed the Third Magic, has assumed the world-specific class: Third Magic User】.

——

【Class: Third Magic User】

【Level: 1/1】

【Stat Bonuses: Body Strength +1 per level, Mental Strength +1 per level, Energy +1 per level】

【Class Skill: Third Magic · Soul Materialization (Beginner 0/1000)】

【Class Specialization: Ageless · Undying (Temporary), Infinite Magic Source】

【Class Advancement Path: None】

——

【Third Magic · Soul Materialization: Can convert another's soul into matter】

【Ageless · Undying (Temporary): You have transcended your decaying flesh; from now on, time will no longer be your enemy, and even death cannot halt your steps.】

【Note: Undying only functions in the Type-Moon world; outside it, only Ageless remains active】

【Infinite Magic Source: Believe me, this is merely a byproduct of the Third Magic—your energy recovery rate will be greatly, dramatically increased】

Panel divine power!

Looking at the class information on the panel, Li Ang's expression was hard to describe.

'Why is this another weird class like the 【Lu En Magician】?'

With a maximum level of only 1 and these absurdly low stat bonuses, if not for the glaring 【Third Magic · Soul Materialization】 in the skill slot, he'd think he'd misselected his class.

Aside from that, the 【Ageless · Undying (Temporary)】 specialization was something he'd never encountered before—a specialization limited to a specific world.

But considering the Type-Moon world's uniqueness, it wasn't particularly strange.

Still, if he remembered correctly, the undying effect of Soul Materialization relied on the Star Phantom Realm, much like the Pure Land in Naruto.

Fortunately, the 【Infinite Magic Source】 still gave him a pleasant surprise, as this specialization was perfect for the Otsutsuki Star People.

Unfortunately, like the 【Lu En Magician】, the 【Third Magic User】 also had no advancement path.

'Tch, couldn't I get some Demon God class change or something? Everyone else uses magic, give me a break.'

Li Ang casually complained in his heart, then closed the panel.

Now that he had already learned the Third Magic, he could naturally begin to carry out his own plan.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in Li Ang's ear: "The talent of the Third Magic holder is truly astonishing."

Facing the sudden voice, Li Ang was not startled in the slightest: "I thought you'd keep hiding until everything was over."

"Jewel Mage."

As the words fell, he turned his head to look at the white-haired old man who had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

The Second Magician, Jewel Mage Zelretch.

Li Ang had thought this one had long since fled through the Second Magic — after all, even if the Clock Tower had been wiped out he hadn't shown up — he hadn't expected him to have been secretly watching him all along.

"If those homunculi of the Einzbern family learned that you have attained the Third Magic, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep well either." Jewel Mage did not respond to Li Ang directly, but instead quipped a line.

Although he said this, a trace of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes.

The question he was puzzled about was very simple — once one became a Magician, one would more or less establish a connection with the Root, yet he had not sensed any similar aura on the person before him.

Unfortunately, Zelretch did not know of the existence of the class panel, so this doubt would probably never be answered.

Li Ang did not pick up the thread, but got straight to the point and asked: "So what are you planning to do now?"

"I just want to witness the ending of this world."

Jewel Mage shrugged his shoulders.

To be honest, if this 【Heaven-Spanning Dragon】 had not attained the Third Magic, he would never have shown himself at all.

Hearing these words, Li Ang was somewhat noncommittal: "Best that way."

After changing class to become the 【Third Magician】, the number of existences in the Type-Moon universe that could pose a threat to him was already very, very few — clearly Jewel Mage was not among them.

'Sigh—'

'Third time's the charm, I must succeed this time.'

Thinking this, he looked toward the moon emitting a faint glow in the extreme distance.
