Chapter 319 The Current Status of Heroic Spirit Summoning

After observing Matou Zouken's 'little movements' for a while, he instructed the 'intelligent crow' to follow him carefully and report to him on the other party's progress at all times.

Fang Yi then focused his attention on the [Assessment Task].

As his mind moved, a somewhat 'unbelievable' [Assessment Task] appeared on his retina.
-
[Assessment Task II: Showing Off Your Talents]

[Quest Requirements: Please try to defeat or kill a Servant head-on, and during the battle, demonstrate your powerful strength, exquisite skills, and strategy as much as possible.]

[Basic Quest Reward: 8000 points, [Shrinking the Earth] skill gains an enhanced suffix.]

[Performance Mission Rewards: Additional boost to settlement rating, with one or more skills used in battle randomly selected to receive a boost.]

The rewards you receive for performance tasks will be affected by the following factors:

1. The stronger the [Peak Strength] of the enemies you face in battle, the more performance task rewards and rating upgrades you will receive.

2. The more widely your battle spreads, the more masters and forces recognize it, the more performance task rewards you will receive and the more evaluation upgrades you will get.

prompt:

1. After the basic requirements of this task are met, the reincarnationist can obtain the basic task rewards and trigger the subsequent [Assessment Task].

2. This mission is valid for a long time, but the rewards that a Reincarnator can obtain from a Servant will be distributed according to the best performance, and there is an upper limit on the rewards obtained from this mission.

3. After the subsequent cumulative killing or defeat of servants (the servants must lose a certain degree of combat ability) meets the performance task reward issuance standards, the rewards will be issued in multiple stages.
-
This is Fang Yi's [Assessment Task].

It was not until then that Fang Yi came to his senses. Although he completed the [Assessment Task] very quickly, his [Assessment Task] was actually extremely difficult from the very beginning.

This round simply inherits the difficulty of the previous round of tasks.

Only he could quickly find the solution to obtain the [Master Qualification] in the previous mission.

If it were other people who were reincarnated, it would be a huge trap.

After all, he wanted to get the position of Master through the 'back door' of the three families, [Einzbern], [Tōsaka], and [Matou].

Basically, you have to join the forces of these three families and serve as a dog for others, or marry into the family like [Emiya Kiritsugu] and become a member of the "Three Great Families".

Moreover, using a high-priority "backdoor" also requires higher qualifications.

Normally, each of these three families will only have one Master.

There is only a slight possibility that the Holy Grail War, with more vacancies this time, will allow a Master to command multiple Servants.

He also holds the [Magic Seal] and meets the prerequisites for signing the [Self-Compulsory Certificate], and he himself has high qualifications.

Only then can he obtain the [Master Qualification] from Matou Zouken who is trying to trick him.
-
I can only say that this is the consistent style of the reincarnation space.

"The more you contribute, the more you gain. The difficulty of the task should be commensurate with the reward."

If you want to achieve breakthroughs in five attributes and enhance two talents, the difficulty of the task will definitely be far beyond that of ordinary people.

At the same time, this mission does not produce any treasure chests or kill rewards.

If he wants to improve his strength, he just needs to focus on completing and advancing the mission.

Of course, just like what he did with Matou Zouken, he used the method of "extortion" to strip off some [Magic Seals] from the characters and learn some family magic.

Even obtaining some [holy relics] and [magic costumes] is the second way to improve your strength.

For example, that [Kenneth] has a lot of nice [Magic Costumes].

Thinking of this, Fang Yi began to study ways to exploit loopholes in this [Assessment Task].

His knowledge of Contract Law in his previous life had given him a sensitivity to clauses, and he had already vaguely grasped some of the 'cheating' methods.

He planned to first meet the basic requirements of the mission and capture or defeat a servant to obtain the qualifications to trigger the next round of the mission, and then consolidate his leading advantage in the [Assessment Mission].

Then consider killing more servants and grabbing more rewards.
-
Fang Yi read the task requirements again word by word and studied the method of reward determination.

He first ruled out some of the 'sinister' plans he had in mind.

In this mission, it was obvious that if we used the tactic of stealing the Master and forcing the Heroic Spirit to commit suicide, it would obviously not be able to meet the requirement of 'defeating and killing the enemy head-on' in the mission.

That means he has to show his true strength and defeat these Heroic Spirits who have transformed into Servants.

In addition, like in the chicken game, if 'Voldemort' hides and does not take action at the end, he will not be able to snowball his advantage and gain more benefits from the space.

I want to continue to maintain my leading position among the reincarnations and maximize the benefits of this mission.

He needs to do it when there are more heroes, just like achieving something.

Defeat or kill as many different servants as possible and collect rewards from these Heroic Spirits.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi touched his chin. He did not limit his thinking to defeating the servant head-on.

Instead, he began to think about the possibility of using the Master to weaken the Servant in many ways and exploiting the Servant's personality to find loopholes as much as possible.

The Master cannot let the Servant commit suicide, but weakening the Servant from the Master's side should be within the scope of the mission.

After all, the prompt said that it was calculated based on the Heroic Spirit's [Peak Strength], and you still have to show your own strategy.

Then the space is happy to see that he uses means to kill some low-health heroes and show his "wisdom".
-
At the same time, he can also take advantage of some of the servants' flaws.

For example, the capable Lancer [Diarmuid Odin] has a spirit of chivalry that makes his master [Kayneth] unable to hold back.

Obviously, there is room for maneuver here on Fang Yi's part.

As for Saber [Altria], who is suspected of "match-fixing", looks very weak in the original work, and whose whereabouts are still unknown, Fang Yi has not considered her yet.

Now he doesn't know the other party's specific 'version'.

If one talks a lot about [chivalry], it won't greatly increase [magic power release], and [intuition] won't work either.

Without the bonus of [Holy Relic] [Avalon], you will be defeated by a skilled man in hand-to-hand combat.

He could naturally consider killing and defeating the opponent.

But if it is a very "smart" one that knows to kill the master first and will launch a sneak attack, there is also a cheat version like [Avalon].

He didn't want to experience the [Magic Release] and the incredible skill [Intuition] blessed by the Red Dragon's Heart right at the beginning.

Then take a hit from Avalon's hard control like King Flash and feel the light cannon.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi began to select his opponents and plan the battlefield based on the heroic spirit summons sent by Miss Zhuang.
-
Fang Yi began to speculate in his mind about the current situation of the Holy Grail War and the Heroic Spirits participating through the number and class distribution of Heroic Spirits, and finalized his mission objectives.

There are now a total of nine servants summoned, and two servants with confirmed identities are about to be summoned.

Except for the Heroic Spirit whose identity cannot be confirmed outside of the seven major ranks.

Judging from the classes of the Heroic Spirits that have been summoned so far, two Sabers have appeared.

As for the first one.

Fang Yi turned his head and looked at the swordsman lady beside him who had finally become familiar with Matou Sakura and started playing with her.

Apparently, this 'man-slayer' servant who loves playing with children is one of them.

The other person is most likely [Altria].

However, according to information from [Tōsaka Tokiomi], [Emiya Kiritsugu] and his wife have not yet arrived in Fuyuki.

Not for the moment.

In addition to the appearance of an unknown heroic spirit in the Archer class, the oldest fat tiger of mankind [Gilgamesh] is about to be summoned.

Finding the former is too energy-consuming, and the latter's strength has reached the level of the final boss, which is too difficult.

There is only one Lancer class now, and that person is very capable, but only very capable.

Diarmuid Odin has been setting up a fighting arena at the harbor for a whole day but no one is paying any attention to him.

Fang Yi listed him as the first choice to complete the basic task.

It is highly likely that the opponent is currently being supplied with magic by Kenneth's fiancée Sora, so his attributes will be slightly reduced.

The opponent's basic attributes are slightly lower than Miss Swordsman's, and he is confident that he can suppress and kill the opponent.

The other party's two strongest [Noble Phantasms] were useless to him.

The [Yellow Rose of Certain Destruction] with the ability of [Healing Ban] was perfectly restrained by his [Flesh Reconstruction] trait.

The [Demon-Breaking Red Rose] with the [Demon-Breaking] effect has no effect on his [Armor Refining] and [Evil Ghost Haunting].

Although the bonuses from the two skills [Knight's Military Strategy] and [Mind's Eye (True)] are not bad, the opponent's spear skills are not very high.

There is no way to pose a threat to him in battle.

He even considered using it as a stepping stone to develop his own [Mind's Eye (Fake)] skill.

This was a perfect 'soft target' for him to complete his mission.
-
As for Rider, there is only one now, and Fang Yi thinks it is most likely the "King of Conquerors" who commands "Weber".

Fang Yi thought about the opponent's [King's Army] and a number of [Noble Phantasms] and quickly dismissed the idea.

Two casters were summoned, as for their identities.

Fang Yi took a look at the report on TV about a "serial killer who committed several murders" and guessed the identity of one of them.

The slightly face-blind Gilles de Rei, summoned by the killer Ryunosuke Uzumaki, thought of how he had mistaken Altria for his 'wife' Jeanne, and Fang Yi glanced at the swordsman beside him.

This led to a gradually closer relationship between this servant and Fang Yi. When he noticed that his master was looking at him frequently, he immediately turned his head away.

She patted her chest, which was slightly protruding from under the bra, and asked Fang Yi with a serious face.

"Master, is there anything you need from me?

"Your swordsman awaits your orders at any time."

Fang Yi smiled slightly and waved to his servant.

"Nothing, I just glanced at you while I was thinking about something.

"I didn't expect you to see it."

After hearing Fang Yi's reply, the ahoge on Miss Swordsman's head moved.

She touched the head of Sakura Matou who was curled up beside her and smiled brightly at Fang Yi.

"Master, if you have any troubles, please come and discuss it with me.

“Although I don’t understand many things.

"But compared to facing difficulties and troubles alone, it is much better to face them together.

"After all, some troubles will disappear without a trace if you just talk to others about them."

Looking at the swordsman lady who had left the combat state, she became extremely gentle with a bright smile on her face.

And Sakura Matou, who heard what he said and was secretly watching him.

Fang Yi had no choice but to smile and make a promise.

"Yes, my swordsman."

[The swordsman lady's face also has the same 'Takeuchi face' as that [Knight King], and will also attract that [Gil de Ray].]

Fang Yi listed Gilles de Ray as one of his alternatives to complete the mission.
-
As for the Assassin class, there is currently only one.

It was Li Shuwen, who sounded extremely terrifying in Miss Zhuang's words and whose actual strength was also extremely terrifying.

"Steel fist is the best, and Li Shuwen is the best spear."

His old age form is actually his strongest form.

As long as he wasn't injured, his flawless [Aura] combined with the [Breath Blocking] brought by the Assassin class would make it impossible for ordinary people to sense him.

This gives this servant an extremely strong ability to assassinate the Master.

In the spatial version, there is a high probability that the other party has mastered the "realm" that Fang Yi has not yet mastered.

As for the two skills of [Chinese Martial Arts (Bajiquan)] and [Chinese Martial Arts (Liuhe Spear)], the opponent also has extremely terrifying attainments.

The former endowed him with the [Noble Phantasm] [Tiger Climbing the Mountain], which could kill people instantly with one strike.

The latter's marksmanship, which has reached perfection (certified by Mushroom himself), can give the opponent a huge advantage in armed combat.

It even has a strong ability to restrain Fang Yi's swordsmanship.

After all, there is a saying that goes, "If you go into battle alone, you will die."

This is a Servant who has the ability to compete for the final victory of the Holy Grail War.

It is not wise to challenge the other party when the situation is still unclear.
-
And there is not a single Servant in the Berserker class right now.

In Fang Yi's opinion, it should be [Matou Kariya] who is about to summon, and [Lancelot] whom he may also face.

Although this Berserker-class Servant was quite powerful, killing the opponent was not beyond his capabilities.

However, from the perspective of long-term benefits, if there is a choice, it is better to keep this "mad dog servant" who is a bit crazy like his master.

This Servant slept with the princess of [Altria] who presented herself as a man.

Whenever he sees the [Altria] he has cheated on, he will go crazy and talk about "Arthur" all the time, and then fight with [Altria]. This is a good opportunity to test the specific "version" of this [Altria].

And if he encounters Gilgamesh, who likes to compete with others and keeps talking about "miscellaneous cultivation", summoned by Tohsaka Tokiomi.

[Matou Kariya], who hates [Tōsaka Tokiomi] very much, will also drive this Heroic Spirit to fight with him.

[Lancelot] This servant with considerable strength is obviously an excellent chess piece and troublemaker to test the strength of other servants.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi glanced at the swordsman lady beside him and made up his mind to hide her.

There was no other way. What if this servant also had face blindness and mistook [Altria] for him and the swordsman lady would be bitten by the 'mad dog'?

After completing the information summary, Fang Yi turned his attention to the vision shared by the 'smart crow'.

He had already seen Zouken Matou following Lancer [Diarmuid Odin] up to the hotel where [Kayneth] was staying.

It is obvious that this old man who thought he was monitoring him through Sakura Matou and had kept it from him was already negotiating cooperation terms with Kenneth.

If nothing unexpected happens, the combination of [Lancelot] + [Diarmuid Odin] will arrive soon.
-
Fang Yi could only make one comment on this.

【How thoughtful, Mr. Matou.】

[Not only was the 'stage' set up for me, but the 'express delivery' was also packed and delivered to my door.]

[Holy Grail War] Most magicians will send [familiars] to monitor the three great families and obtain intelligence.

The Matou residence must be full of "eyes". This will be Fang Yi's favorite and a "stage" that can greatly increase his combat visibility and increase his mission benefits.

The Noble Phantasms of these two upcoming servants are not large-scale destructive Noble Phantasms against cities or armies, nor do they have any special effects.

His attributes far surpass those of ordinary people, so he doesn't need to reveal his full strength to deal with these two 'blank' servants with ease.

He could even use these two servants to verify his progress in swordsmanship.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi took out [California Clear Light] and wiped it, then began to wait for the two servants and Matou Zouken to arrive.

There is still some time before the battle begins, so he should be able to wait until Miss Zhuang comes back to deal with Matou Zouken.

But he couldn't wait any longer.

After all, he is different from other Masters who hope to draw 'good cards' or find 'trump cards' to win in the [Heroic Spirit Summoning].

Now he doesn't need to pin all his hopes of winning on the servants obtained by drawing cards.

Because his strength is constantly improving with each mission, he is a person who will never betray him.

【The strongest trump card】.
-
same moment.

Matou Zouken walked into the hotel where Kenneth was staying and began to form alliances to gain help in killing Fang Yi.

[Tosaka Tokiomi] walked into the magic circle and began to chant the spell to summon the Heroic Spirit.

Kotomine Kirei stared at Tōsaka Tokiomi's back, wondering what method he should use if he had to obey the church's orders and kill him if necessary.

Emiya Kiritsugu and the red archer boarded the plane bound for Fuyuki City.

[Irisviel] curiously walked out of Fuyuki's airport, with [Altria] who was unable to spiritualize beside her.

Waver, who was controlling his familiar to scout the Tōsaka family, and Iskandar stood quietly by the Fuyuki Bridge.

The murderers [Ryunosuke Uzumaki] and [Gil de Ray] are spying on Fuyuki City with a crystal ball.

Cheng Xiang and Zhang Yong, who had already arrived in Fuyuki City, were in different locations, clumsily drawing summoning arrays and beginning to summon heroic spirits.
-
Zhuang Zhengyan, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with [Tousaka Rin] and rushing to the next city, opened her eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, and without waiting for the 'teacher' beside her to speak, she gave the order in a somewhat cold voice.

"Ms. Tousaka Aoi, stop the car. There are enemies ahead."

Zhuang Zhengyan took out three [Black Keys] and got out of the car. She looked at the hideous corpse in front of her and said the second half of the sentence.

"I'll take care of them."

[The enemy is quite strong, but I won't waste too much time.]

[After all, I've already made an agreement with Fang Yi that I'll rush back on time to help him crush that 'bug'.]

Miss Zhuang thought so.
