Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 330 Wonderful Harvest

Listening to the prompt sound ringing in my ears, [Due to unknown factors, you have triggered the hidden task [Matou Zouken's Request]].

Fang Yi responded directly.

"Tell me, if your request is not too unreasonable, I can agree to it."

Seeing that Fang Yi was interested, Matou Zouken directly put forward his request.

"If you accept the reward I offer.

"You need to find a way to get the Magic Association to transplant the tattered [Magic Seal] that woman (Jang Jung-yeon) took from me to Ying.

"The Matou family's collection of magical books contains methods for modifying a magus's body to reduce the risk of rejection during transplantation.

"With your talent, mastering it and assisting with the transplant is no problem."

Sakura Matou heard these words and looked at Zhuang Zhengyan with a cold face, and opened her mouth to say no.

She didn't want to embarrass Fang Yi.

However, Fang Yi didn't expect that when he looked at Zhuang Zhengyan, before he could open his mouth, Miss Zhuang casually threw the [Magic Seal] that she had just obtained not long ago to him.

“This thing is of no use to me.

"I once got a more valuable [Magic Seal], but I gave it to my friend.

“Just use it.”

While speaking, Zhuang Zhengyan secretly winked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi, who took the [Magic Seal], scratched his head in confusion at first.

[Something is wrong. There is something really wrong with this woman.]

However, he did not dwell on these things. He took the [Magic Seal] and walked to Sakura Matou, touched her head, and comforted the girl.

Listening to Matou Zouken's final words.

"The [Magic Costume] of the Matou family will be given to Sakura, and Sakura will also be the head of the Matou family.

“She is a gifted child, and must become the head of a family to avoid the fate of [Seal Designation].

"Also, if possible, find a way to treat that Matou Kariya.

"These things are the only compensation I can do for the evil deeds I have done."

Fang Yi thought about the two benefits that the other party mentioned that he could not get.

The [Magic Seal] of the Matou family is pretty rubbish, and basically only the [Bug Magic] is okay, but he has already mastered it.

The [Magic Costume] has an ugly appearance similar to the [Marking Bug] and needs to be worn to work. Its effect is to increase the intimacy of the bug towards the user.

Not only does it not look good, but its attributes are also rubbish.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi immediately nodded and took on the task.
-
Seeing Fang Yi nodded in acceptance.

The next moment, the [Marking Worm] bound by the holy light began to expand rapidly.

"Fang Yi, so that's why I hated you the first time I saw you.

“It’s because you, like me, have forgotten something.

"But it's completely different from me and is the complete opposite."

After saying these somewhat inexplicable words, Matou Zouken, who had no desire to live anymore, chose to end his own life decisively, and exploded into a ball of flesh and blood.

He lives to eradicate evil, but in order to survive until now he has committed countless evil deeds and has long deviated from his ideals.

Dying immediately is the most despicable way of atonement.

However, after hearing what Matou Zouken said, the connection and bond between the Master and the Heroic Spirit deepened, and the swordsman, who vaguely sensed something, cast a worried look at her Master.

Fang Yi looked at Matou Zouken who died in front of him and the 2000 extra 'fuel' in his [Human Pill Method] and shook his head silently.

Is my experience from "eradicating all evil" to "evil man" completely opposite to yours?

【Based solely on my past life experiences, I really can't refute him.】

Fang Yi was about to speak, but he didn't expect to hear new footsteps coming from the basement door.

He turned his head and saw a tattered "doll" driven by obsession.

It was Matou Kariya.

Seeing the target of the mission appear, Miss Zhuang on the side directly threw a bottle of potion with a somewhat strange color to Fang Yi.

“It’s so dirty, I don’t want to touch him.

"This is the [Short-acting No. 5 Holy Water] that has been used for two worlds and is about to expire.

“It’s very helpful for short-term injury recovery.

"Just give it to him. Don't be stingy with it. I have plenty."

Without any hesitation, Fang Yi directly chose to accept the item given by Miss Zhuang.

[In return, book her a surgery to increase her trait [Flesh Reconstruction], and give her a big discount on the [Water of Oblivion] she can buy.]

Fang Yi thought so and walked towards Matou Kariya.
-
In some cases, a broken machine will not stop working immediately.

Rather, it may be due to unexpected coincidences, just like the war horses in ancient times who ran 800 miles in a hurry and died suddenly while resting and eating in the stable.

It will continue to operate for a while before finally coming to an end.

The fact that Matou Kariya, who was blind, had no magic power, and had lost most of his muscles, was still able to crawl back to the Matou residence is an example of this rare situation.

In fact, during the year that he was training with Matou Zouken, Matou Kariya's body was in a state of dying.

The only reason he was able to survive to this day was because of the magic power converted from the [Marking Bug] and the [Marking Bug] full of vitality that Matou Zouken gave him from time to time.

The [Marking Bugs] in his body had all died because he had allowed Berserker to activate his [Noble Phantasm] to fight.

Logically speaking, Matou Kariya's body should have been completely paralyzed at this point, and all vital activities should have ceased immediately.

However, Matou Kariya, who was blind and unable to use his [Vision Bug], stood up and groped his way out of the alley on his own.

He walked through the ruined streets and arrived at the Matou residence.

Now he has lost his sense of time and ability to think.

The only thing that brought him here was an obsession.

【Take another look at Sakura.】
-
When Matou Kariya reached the staircase that he was most familiar with, which led to the dark abyss filled with a foul smell below, he breathed a sigh of relief and excitement.

If nothing unexpected happens, Sakura is in the basement below this staircase.

Just a little bit, just a little bit and he's almost there.

The next moment, he heard the extremely familiar voice of Matou Zouken, saying words he could not understand.

".Sakura will also be the head of the Matou family.

“.Find a way to cure that Matou Kariya.

"These things are the only compensation I can do for the evil deeds I have done."

Matou Kariya was stunned, and he couldn't help but grinning, although he was originally a little desperate.

Am I hallucinating?

[It is said that before a person dies, due to lack of oxygen to the brain, they will have the fantasy dream that they desire most in their heart.]

[What a wild idea! How dare you dream such a thing? Matou Kariya.]

If someone could turn such a dream into reality, he would give him the entire Matou family.

The next moment, the small amount of [Short-acting Holy Water No. 5] sprinkled by Fang Yi on the wound on his body began to heal his wound.

The large amount of [Short-acting Holy Water No. 5] that violently poured into his body, which had been torn apart by the long sword and then healed quickly, made his body heal at a speed that ordinary people could not understand.

After a while, the injuries on his body were alleviated, and only one eye was left blind. He recovered to the state he was in a day ago, and then he saw Fang Yi in front of him and the basement full of corpses of [Marking Insects].

He was a little confused for a moment.

"Where exactly is this place? What happened?"

Fang Yi turned his head and patted Sakura Matou who had quietly come behind him and wanted to say something.

"Then let the head of the Matou family, Matou Sakura, explain it to you.

"I'll take care of your blind eye later." He could use the holy water to practice his [Body Transformation] skill to complete the task.

But now, Fang Yi was too lazy to waste time on the other party. He just wanted to find a place to check what he had just gained.

The rewards he received through the [Assessment Mission] and [Challenge Mission] were quite luxurious.
-
Zhuang Zhengyan, who was standing by, looked at the swordsman lady who wanted to say something, and said to her "teacher", "Go wander around by yourself", and then pulled her away.

As a reincarnationist, she naturally knew that after the battle, reincarnationists needed some undisturbed time to count the rewards.

Miss Swordsman wanted to break free from Miss Zhuang's 'big hand', but she didn't expect that Miss Zhuang could seduce the heroic spirit away with just one sentence.

"Are you his servant?
“But my advice is that smart women should not disturb men when they are counting their harvest.

"Want to know more about your Master? Talk to me."

Staring at the smiling Miss Zhuang and looking her up and down, Miss Swordsman straightened her chest, unwilling to be outdone.

Then she pulled the haori given to her by the man and gave her an answer.

"it is good!"

The two women walked out of the basement.

But Miss Zhuang didn't see that Ms. Avalon, whom she allowed to wander around, tiptoed and followed Fang Yi who was counting the harvest.
-
Matou family, magic workshop.

Fang Yi found a chair and sat down, then began to count the rewards item by item.

He first clicked on [Assessment Task] to check the rewards he had already earned.

He kidnapped Gilgamesh and the King of Conquerors as witnesses, and even allowed countless magicians to spy on his battle.

It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that the rewards are huge.

He remembered that this mission had a reward of [Strengthening the Skills Used].

He opened the system panel and began to search for records.

Soon, he got a satisfactory answer.

"[Assessment Mission II: Showing Your Talent] Completed, you have gained the qualification to trigger the next round of [Assessment Mission].

"The performance reward you could earn from your last battle has reached its maximum increase, and your rating for this mission has increased significantly."

[Affected by [Module·Limit Breaker], the talent [Diligent Learning], and mission performance, your [Shrinking the Earth·Strengthening] will gain more benefits.]
-
【Shrinking the Earth·Strengthening】

Additional branch enhancements:

Passive buffs:

The specific effect of [Shrinking the Earth·Strengthening] will be additionally affected by the [Intelligence] attribute in addition to the [Agility] and [Constitution] attributes.

Active Gain:

【Overlapping Images】

After using [Shrinking the Earth·Strengthening] multiple times in a short period of time, the [Benefit Layers] will be accumulated according to the number of times the skill is used within a certain period of time.

When [Benefit Layers] is not zero, the effect of the next [Shrinking the Earth·Strengthening] will be temporarily enhanced.

The directions of temporary improvement include but are not limited to assault speed and assault power.

After reaching a certain [Gain Level], additional boosts will be obtained according to the [Gain Level].

The specific gains are as follows:

1. When the [Benefit Layers] is at least three, using [Shrink the Earth - Enhance] will create an afterimage to confuse the enemy.

[The following bonuses are not available yet because the [Mastery of Swordsmanship] skill does not meet the requirements.]

The current maximum number of stackable [Benefit Layers] is affected by the [Mastery of Swordsmanship lv4] skill and cannot exceed four layers.
-
Apparently, he had used his skill of conjuring illusions with murderous intent to kill Lancelot during the battle, triggering an additional reward.

Added the bonus of Killing Illusion to [Shrinking the Earth: Strengthening] according to its performance.

After receiving the benefit of this skill, Fang Yi immediately held the [California Clear Light] in his hand.

In the small magic workshop, the test began.

However, in a moment, after completing three times of [Shrinking the Earth and Strengthening], he performed [Shrinking the Earth and Strengthening] three more times.

Looking at the two extremely lifelike afterimages that exuded murderous intent, he nodded with satisfaction.

After three times of [Shrinking the Earth·Strengthening], each time he launches an assault, he can freely choose the time and position on the assault route at a very low cost, condensing an illusion of murderous intent.

Currently, no more than two illusions can be created by this skill.

In addition to relying on this skill, he can also actively condense an illusion of murderous intent.

With three illusions around him, he will be extremely deceptive in battle.

If the enemy is not careful, there is a high probability that he will be like a powerful captain in Bleach, who will use his ultimate move to become a "fake monkey".

After counting the [Assessment Tasks], Fang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took another look at the panel and confirmed that [Magic Release] did not appear on it, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It seems that the skill of [Magic Release], which I had previously used roughly, could not be called mastered, and then it emerged as a skill of space certification.

He might need help with [Human Pill Method] or [Talent], and find a Heroic Spirit with strong [Magic Release] skills to "learn" from.

For example, a certain ahoge king.

By interacting with this Saber, he could even clear Lancelot's [Ideal Knight] mission and see what rewards this hidden mission could bring.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi turned to check the rewards of the [Challenge Mission].

There are two rewards for this task.

The first item is to achieve [Enemy's Respect] and obtain the corresponding promotion task.

This task has appeared on his panel.
-
【Respect List】

Mission requirements:

1. Defeat and gain the respect of at least seven enemies.

2. Make at least one enemy agree that you surpass him in some of the things he desires.

Mission rewards (only for this mission):

1. With the enemy's approval, after killing the enemy, you will fully obtain one of the enemy's skills.

2. After the enemy recognizes that you are superior to him in some aspect, you will gain skills closely related to the enemy's [Core Abilities].

3. [Enemy's Respect] is enhanced.
-
Currently obtained respected list and skill rewards:
Lancelot (Not for one's own glory)
Diarmuid ([Heart's Eye (True)])——
After seeing [Not for One's Own Glory], Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The skill he wanted most from Lancelot was actually [Infinite Martial Arts].

This skill will most likely lower the threshold for him to learn other skills and greatly increase the speed of improving different skills.

At the same time it gives him a deeper understanding of his enemy's skills.

Unfortunately, this should be the opponent's [core ability], and respect alone cannot bring it out.

He vaguely felt that the mission "Ideal Knight" might allow him to acquire this skill.

Just as Fang Yi was about to check the specific effects of these two skills and then dig out the reward given to him by Matou Zouken.

The sound of footsteps behind him and the voice of a woman greeting disrupted his plans.

"Good evening, I'm Miss Zhuang's collaborator, you can call me."

Fang Yi turned his head and saw a despicable woman with white hair and red eyes.

His eyes widened immediately.

[Merlin from another world has arrived. How will this Holy Grail War end?]

Seeing Fang Yi's attitude, Miss Merlin immediately raised a finger and placed it on her lips, making a gesture to keep quiet.

"It seems you know my name.

"But just keep it as a secret between us and don't tell anyone.

"I want to talk to you about something."

　I gained so much, and it's too much to publish a single chapter of 8k, so I just split it into two chapters and insert some plot. This chapter is scheduled and will be released on the evening of the 18th.
