Chapter 505: Noble Phantasm Form · Swirl of the Heart (EX)
[You killed Reincarnator FS60078541, Sin Karma Point +1]
[You contained Special Spiritual Body · Shinigami (Incomplete), Energy +1, Current: ?]
Between Kaito Shirogane's breaths, his scattered hair slowly fell. He reached out and collected the two Scarlet Drop Cards that condensed in front of him.
It was a pity that Rider · Medusa's sudden attack left him with no time to slowly devour the complete Shinigami-strengthened Reincarnator into his body, forcing him to just kill the other party. But fortunately, he still obtained a small fragment.
Kaito Shirogane hadn't yet had time to return to his consciousness space to see what was special about the Guardian Spirit he absorbed earlier and the Shinigami fragment he absorbed just now.
On his first night in this Fate world, battles came one after another.
At this time, he looked up and saw Illya using wire-frame magecraft to shape her hair. Several pigeon-like familiars successfully caught her from mid-air.
There was no need for him to specifically catch her.
In terms of personal strength alone, Illya at this time should be quite a bit higher than the normal states of Tohsaka Rin, Emiya Shirou, and the others.
It's just that most of these magi in this world, unable to obtain the Five True Magics, didn't have high enough lethality. Those who could fight [Servants] were already an extremely small minority.
Therefore, in the eyes of a Reincarnator of Kaito Shirogane's level, these magi themselves were the biggest breakthrough points in the Holy Grail War.
Even a magus with massive magical energy like Illya still had a high chance of being instantly killed.
Illya landed and looked at Kaito Shirogane, whose body surface was stained with quite a bit of blood, but she smiled very happily. She clapped her hands, just like a young girl seeing a favorite toy.
"With Illya's magical energy support, Assassin has become even stronger..."
"Now Illya recognizes that you can definitely help me kill that person."
The young girl's innocent face blending with slaughter and fresh blood gave people an abnormal sense of distortion, but Kaito Shirogane nodded gladly.
"Yes, with your magical energy support, I figure I can easily kill that person."
[You triggered Side Mission · Patricide]
[Mission Details: The young girl Illya hopes you can kill the Magus Killer · Emiya Kiritsugu]
**[Mission Reward: C-Class Singularity 1, Random Item 1 (Quality no lower than Rare)]
Kaito Shirogane's eyes shifted when he saw this side mission. According to the plot development, Emiya Kiritsugu should already be dead at this point in time.
But the Space's missions wouldn't make a mistake, meaning that some changes had occurred here...
Kaito Shirogane took this detail into consideration. When he entered this world and loaded the mission, an error occurred because of the Counter Force's influence, so some intelligence was not obtained normally.
There was a high probability that some Reincarnators currently in this world had already entered this world before and participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, leading to some subtle changes in the ending.
But from the fact that Emiya Kiritsugu didn't appear when he just encountered Emiya Shirou and Saber, he knew that guy's condition wasn't exactly perfect either.
"Assassin, let's go get Berserker back. Those people used some unknown magecraft. I lost my perception of Berserker, and the Command Spells can't make Him directly return to my side either."
Illya, wearing a white fuzzy hat, spoke crisply. Her expression was rarely vivid. Berserker was probably one of the very few humans she truly cared about right now.
Kaito Shirogane looked at the sky that had already turned slightly pale, thought for a moment, nodded, and said:
"I roughly know where those people come from. Perhaps, we should find a more appropriate way to go say hello."
On the panel in front of Kaito Shirogane, several abilities were currently displayed.
Illya was right. With her magical energy supply, Assassin · Mercenary Tao had indeed obtained a considerable enhancement. At least, the strongest trump card of a [Heroic Spirit], the Noble Phantasm, was considered compensated.
[Please choose any of the following abilities or items to obtain compensation as a Noble Phantasm]
[A, Black Sword · Dragon Slayer — Noble Phantasm Form · Sword of the Abyss of Sin (B+): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm. The souls of those killed entangle the sword blade. Releasing the Noble Phantasm can unleash all entangled souls at once, erupting with absolute destructive power]
[B, Lord of the Realm — Noble Phantasm Form · Lightless Lord (A): Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Passively reduces the damage of any energy attack, strips all light within range, forbids energy, active strengthening, etc.]
[C, Hollow Core — Noble Phantasm Form · Soul Mask (B+): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm. While held, attacks will simultaneously attack the soul. After release, transforms into a spiritual creature, possessing the ability to directly attack spiritual bodies]
[D, Martial Arts Grandmaster — Noble Phantasm Form · Martial God's Body (B): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm. The body transforms into a perfect martial body, and martial arts skills receive an extra 2 levels. After release, can forcibly push a designated ability to Lv7]
[E, Killing Intent Crest · Forbidden — Noble Phantasm Form · Killing Intent Crest (A+): Anti-City Noble Phantasm. Perfectly controls the fluctuation of killing intent. Killing intent fluctuation level rises to Lv7. After release, killing intent will spread across the whole city. All living beings who die within the killing intent will be turned into puppets]
...
Kaito Shirogane coveted almost every attribute. This [Noble Phantasm Form] attribute almost targeted and strengthened most of the abilities and items on his body, and most of the strengthening directions were very suitable for his fighting style.
Even the Black Sword, which was the least appropriate for Kaito Shirogane among them, could bring Kaito Shirogane an absolutely powerful explosive strike after turning into a Noble Phantasm.
Because the original owner of this sword had probably already held this sword and carried out an unknown amount of slaughter in that world. Combined with Kaito Shirogane's slaughter, the explosive power of the strike after release would be quite terrifying.
And the effects of the other options made Kaito Shirogane's heart flutter even more. Although the Martial God's Body was only B-rank, the effect of being able to deduce a designated ability to Lv7, in Kaito Shirogane's view, was already no less than an EX-rank Noble Phantasm.
He mastered a heaven-defying ability like Kaioken. Once deduced to Lv7, as long as Kaito Shirogane's physical body didn't collapse, it could almost directly turn him into a flesh-and-blood Titan. That kind of power, just thinking about it, made Kaito Shirogane uncontrollably want to choose this option.
Walking beside Kaito Shirogane, Illya looked with some curiosity at this Assassin who actively became her Servant.
The other party exuded a strong smell of blood. It wasn't just the two people he had just killed; the smell of slaughter radiated from within this guy's body.
That smell was denser and more malicious than the smell on Berserker's body.
But she didn't have any aversion towards this vile guy. Or rather, only this kind of ferocious guy could make her feel more at ease.
Like being abandoned by people from her family in a dense forest, facing an endless stream of beast and monster attacks, only a Berserker so ferocious that every time he drew magical energy it made her feel pain worse than death could give her a sense of security.
Kaito Shirogane's gaze constantly patrolled among the various options, hesitating between [Martial God's Body] and [Killing Intent Crest]. But in the next moment, his eyes moved to the very bottom, and he saw an option that made it even harder for him to tear his gaze away.
[G, Transcendent Helix — Noble Phantasm Form · Swirl of the Heart (EX): Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm. Receives the eddy current of the Swirl of the Root, turning into the Swirl of the Heart. The Transcendent Helix possesses the ability to observe the magecraft and human order of this world. After release, it will directly open the Swirl of the Heart, forcibly understand the contacted target, and obtain the same essence as it]
Swirl of the Heart, the eddy current of the Swirl of the Root...
This was almost the Noble Phantasm Form ability with the highest degree of integration with this world, but the description was also the vaguest.
Observing magecraft could still be understood, but observing human order already had an unclear meaning. And after opening the Swirl of the Heart, obtaining the same essence as the target—this description was even more obscure.
Kaito Shirogane suddenly looked down at the silver-haired girl.
The same essence as the target...
The girl as the living Lesser Grail seems to be used to store the Heroic Spirits of deceased Servants...
A flash of inspiration crossed Kaito Shirogane's mind. The expression on his face lost control for an instant. He covered his somewhat twisted face and directly made his choice.
[You have completed the Class correction. In this world, you will obtain the Noble Phantasm Form correction and possess the ability to release the Noble Phantasm, but it will cause extra magical energy consumption]
Illya frowned, but it immediately disappeared. She had long adapted to the excessively massive magical energy extraction. Berserker, that rampaging demigod, made her surprised but also able to accept this level of magical energy extraction.
While talking, the two had already arrived on a hillside. In the distance, a quite elegant large mansion could be seen.
With a flash of light in Kaito Shirogane's hand, a firearm full of sci-fi feel appeared in his hand.
Illya looked at that weapon that seemed completely different from modern technology and asked curiously:
"Assassin, is this your Noble Phantasm?"
Kaito Shirogane shook his head. He looked at Illya. The Magic Circuits on the other party's body and the Command Spells covering her body all exuded a unique aura, which was "seen" by his eyes.
"Times have changed, Master. This is not a Noble Phantasm, it's technology..."
Kaito Shirogane picked up the H-Gun and aimed it at the large mansion below. Finding the range was insufficient, he thought for a moment and simply switched to the Gravity Gun. In the Space, he had replaced his basic firearms with Gantz-series firearms.
These auto-locking weapons were more suitable for a Reincarnator like him who completely lacked shooting specialization.
Click.
Click.
Click.
Illya stood at a high vantage point, watching her Servant pull the trigger time and time again. Subsequently, accompanied by a faint rumble appearing from the sky.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The elegant wooden Japanese-style courtyard was instantly smashed to pieces. Bloodwater from unknown victims began to flow out from inside.
Facing this slaughter-like assassination, Illya instead revealed an innocent smile.
[You killed Matou Shinji, obtaining E-Class Singularity 1]
