Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 504 Tao Pai Pai's New Master (3K+)

Bai Cangshu frowned and fell from the sky. He tried to track the source of the woman, but she mysteriously disappeared after only a few turns.

Because of the restrictions imposed by the [Class] in Fuyuki City, Shirakatsu's [Mind Network] ability could not be deployed, and he was unable to continue tracking for the time being.

However, this confirmed to him that the holder of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that appeared in Fuyuki City was indeed the Root.

The scene that the opponent saw when they attacked was most likely the reason why the Root appeared in Fuyuki City.

Hakumen plans to launch the Human Instrumentality Project in Fuyuki City to reach the root of the problem, but this project cannot be completely kept secret in this world, and the Counter Force reacts.

The root cause thus emerged.

However, considering that she doesn't fight him and even calls him the "evil savior," from the perspective of the counterforce, he is judged to be the party he can cooperate with.

Or rather, even his own ability as the "villainous savior" to "save the world in despair" was taken into consideration by the suppressor.

If all means fail, the Human Instrumentality Project is successfully implemented, and humanity is plunged into a near-extinction situation, then at that time, my desperate savior mode will probably be another "hero" assigned by the Counterforce.

Bai Cangshu gained a new understanding of the suppressive power of the Type-Moon world. This precise calculation and proper arrangement indeed seemed to originate from the "cause" of everything—the "vortex of origin".

[Note: Assassin EX051, insufficient mana, has incurred the negative effect of Weakness.]

Just as Bai Cangshu was about to leave, a new notification appeared before his eyes, and he almost immediately felt his body become much heavier.

This feeling of heaviness in the body is different from the high-level gravity environment in the training ground; rather, it feels like a dual exhaustion of mind and body.

Fatigue is something that rarely appears on Bai Cangshu, and he felt quite uncomfortable at the moment.

It was as if he had been forcibly shackled; he tried it out and found that exerting force and moving were both affected.

Tsk, since they've already designated me as a "savior candidate," even an evil savior shouldn't treat me like this...

Bai Cangshu thought to himself, but he didn't panic.

Since his initial attempt to kill his Master upon entering the arena failed, he had already planned to kill his Master at the opportune moment during the subsequent battles.

Hakusou has no need for a Master who can't provide magic or strategic intelligence support. Besides, that guy's personality is quite unstable, and holding a Command Seal that allows him to control his own power is not a very pleasant thing.

Therefore, when Gilgamesh's three swords fell, Hakusou did not defend with all his might. Instead, he let Gilgamesh kill his Master and successfully broke free from the restrictions.

He sensed the strangeness in his body, pondered for a moment, and then leaped onto a nearby treetop. Without the convenient mental network, he could only search for people through other means.

[Conceal your presence!]
Among the abilities he has as an Assassin, the ability to conceal his presence is the highest rank, probably as compensation for his inability to use Mind Network.

Bai Cangshu seemed to vanish from the world in an instant.

He leaped brightly from the treetops, but no one noticed.

Servants who have lost their Masters are both valuable combat forces and undoubtedly the most useful sacrifices during the Holy Grail War.

Bai Cangshu must use his identity as an Assassin to find a new Master as soon as possible so that he can continue to participate in the Holy Grail War and complete the main quest.

Main Quest: The Flower of Evil - Survive to the end of the Holy Grail War as an Assassin.

To put it another way, this main quest is to help Hakusoju, as an Assassin, win the Holy Grail War.

Basically, Masters and Servants who participate in the Holy Grail War in order to "fulfill their wishes" will participate with the mindset of killing all other Servants.

Bai Cangshu didn't leave empty-handed that night; at least he confirmed that the current timeline was roughly during the Fifth Holy Grail War, and that the Holy Grail War should have only just begun.

Saber Artoria has been summoned.

Furthermore, it is now known that, unlike the original work, the Assassin class has changed due to his appearance. Therefore, theoretically speaking, Zouken Matou, who originally summoned Assassin Hassan-Sabbah in this Holy Grail War, has lost the opportunity to summon an Assassin-class Servant.

While searching for the location of the Matou family, Bai Cangshu also organized the current intelligence.

The Fifth Holy Grail War is quite unique, as it resulted in three different timelines in the original work, depending on how it unfolded.

However, the basic Heroic Spirits and Masters are already determined. At this moment, Hakusou is preparing to throw himself into the hands of Matou Zouken, who has already twisted everything for the sake of immortality.

The opponent was one of the creators of the Holy Grail War, and his personality has now become despicable. Bai Cangshu's "Evil Savior" technique will probably be quite effective against him.

At the same time, Zouken Matou can also provide some support to Shirakōshū.

stomping on...

The hurried footsteps were somewhat rapid. Bai Cangshu flashed and quickly traversed thousands of meters from treetops and rooftops like a ninja.

He soon spotted a petite girl running around in a panic.

"Berserker?!"

The girl had clear Command Seals on the back of her hand, but the light from the Command Seals would appear and then disappear.

This is……

Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes, standing on the rooftop, recognizing this person as the Master of the Fifth Holy Grail War, and also the living [Minor Grail]—Illyasviel von Einstein.

As mentioned before, the Einstein, Tohsaka, and Matou families don't actually intend to achieve their desires through the Holy Grail War; that's merely a pretext. Each has their own motives, but without exception, they all want to use the Holy Grail War to access the Root. The method involves temporarily storing the deceased Heroic Spirits in the Lesser Grail, then creating a hole in spacetime as the spirits return to the Throne of Heroes. They use the Greater Grail's magic to fix the hole, thus gaining access to the Root.

This white-haired girl is the living Holy Grail meant to house the spirits of the fallen heroes.

call out.

A figure, initially blurry, solidified and appeared less than fifty meters behind Ilya.

This was a man dressed in black night clothes, holding a gleaming katana in one hand, blade pointing downwards. As he walked, the tip of the sword never touched the ground, yet some sharp force carved clear marks into the ground.

"Let me make it clear beforehand that I'm different from those guys; I'm not someone who enjoys killing children, but..."

The man spoke words that Ilya could not understand at all, but his sword was already raised, and then he swung it out, a bright white sword light flying out instantly.

Flying Slash, a reincarnated swordsman specializing in swordsmanship at the level of a sword master.

Bai Cangshu's eyes lit up, but Ilya hurriedly retreated.

hum!
Another figure appeared on the streetlight. This person was wearing a white robe, with lowered eyelids, and spoke indifferently.
"Hurry up, no one can be sure how long that item will work on Hercules."

"Killing her will most likely lead the plot to the HF route, and that route is the one that is closest to unlocking the source."

"The difficulty of this world is a bit unusual. There's a high chance that some reckless reincarnators have entered. Let's not cause any unnecessary trouble."

The katana at the man's waist emitted a soft clang.

The man in black clothes remained silent and stopped playing around. He appeared behind Ilya like a phantom and brought his sword down.

Ilya's pupils contracted, and she only then realized that the enemy was already behind her. Her silver-white hair instantly transformed into a sword and a familiar.

However, after the previous battles, she knew very well that the enemy was too fast, and her golden needle magic would be difficult to counter.

The silvery-white sword light sliced ​​through the newly formed familiar in an instant, then continued its relentless slash toward the girl's neck.

But the next moment, a hand seemed to appear out of thin air.

Keng!
The gleaming katana fell into that hand, making a metallic clang.

In Ilya's pupils, a figure appeared in front of her, grabbing the longsword that she could hardly resist with just her bare hands.

The man met his gaze, a greedy smile spreading across his face.

[Phantom Dragon] had his longsword gripped, but unlike other swordsmen, he didn't try to pull it away. He knew very well that anyone confident enough to grip his sword with their bare hands was someone with extreme confidence in their strength.

The next moment, he focused his mind, and a jet-black demonic aura burst forth from his hand, instantly covering the sword like a giant black python.

Bai Cangshu was slightly surprised. He let go of the hand and at the same time picked up the collar of the living Little Holy Grail with one hand, and floated backward seven or eight meters.

"They actually have this kind of strength?"

The strength of these two individuals was somewhat beyond Bai Cangshu's expectations, prompting him to reassess the difficulty of this mission.

Originally, because of the previous encounter with the reincarnator who summoned the guardian spirit, he thought that the reincarnators who came in were only that strong. He didn't expect that this guy in front of him not only had a swordsmanship proficiency level that exceeded Lv7, but also had a special bloodline and energy.

That demonic aura was purer than the one Li Qingzi had enhanced, and it seemed to be better at releasing energy.

Huanlong gripped the demonic sword wreathed in black demonic energy, his body slowly bending down. He sheathed the sword, his eyes becoming incredibly dangerous.

Peach White White...

Whoosh.

Like a phantom, another person appeared beside Huanlong in an instant, placing his hand on his waist.

"Tao Pai Pai, is that you?!"

The two did not run away immediately, which clearly shows that in their own judgment, they did not believe that Tao Pai Pai possessed overwhelming strength compared to the two of them.

Bai Cangshu ignored the two of them, simply putting Ilya down and saying...
"Assassin Tao Pai Pai is currently lacking a Master. Miss Illya should have enough mana to command a new Servant..."

Bai Cangshu never expected that his journey to find Matou Zouken would bring such a pleasant surprise. Illya, this living Holy Grail, was almost unmatched in the Fifth Holy Grail War in terms of her magical talent alone.

Because she underwent multiple modifications while still an infant in the womb, her entire body is covered with magic circuits, giving her magical power far exceeding that of a normal magician. In addition, her entire body is engraved with Command Seals, and standing on the land of Fuyuki, she can resonate with the Greater Grail, possessing almost limitless magical power.

As a Master, she is far more suitable than Zouken Matou, who plays with insect-shaped engravings.

Moreover... she is the Lesser Grail, a key factor that can influence the future course of the Holy Grail War.

[Your actions have earned Ilya's appreciation, and your reputation with Ilya has increased. Currently: Friendly (14/100)]

friendly……

Bai Cangshu looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him with an innocent expression, showing neither joy nor sorrow. Because of the passive effect of [Evil Savior], he could theoretically gain innate reputation with both good and evil people on the order side, but with Ilya, his reputation was accumulated from the bottom up.

This means that, in terms of spatial judgment, Ilya does not belong to the side of order...
