Chapter 355: 'Quick Surgery' and the Mysterious [Erosion Assimilation]

“It doesn’t matter who you are.

"It's important to keep your mouth shut and be quiet."

After such a rude, blunt and even 'rude' word floated out of the door and entered the ears of Emiya Kiritsugu who raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The somewhat paranoid 'Magician Killer' stopped everything he was doing and wisely swallowed his unfinished words.

After doing all these actions, his expressionless face not only did not show any obvious displeasure, but instead showed a slightly "relieved" look as Fang Yi had expected.

The other party's attitude and words just now can be classified as rude or even bad among humans.

But if he were placed among a group of servants with different demands, he would already be considered one of the higher-level "friendly" ones.

Emiya Kiritsugu believed that this 'friendly' attitude was much better than dealing with a Servant like Berserker, who was impossible to communicate with and control.

When faced with this kind of servant that can communicate, at least he has a lot of room to maneuver.
-
After confirming the other party's 'friendly' attitude, Emiya Kiritsugu relaxed a little.

His rather agile brain quickly deduced the following fact from the other party's words:
[The other party chose to stay here and not leave in anger, probably because he hoped to obtain something he desired from me.]

[And that Saber's cold and violent words just now were merely a technique for exerting pressure during negotiations.]

All the actions of the other party were obviously intended to test whether they could squeeze more profits out of him through this incident.

Then he might be able to use the negotiation process for the reward for curing the 'King of Knights' to further gather information about this exceptionally powerful Servant.

Follow the clues to find out what the other party is interested in, and then try to infer the [real name] of this heroic spirit who is destined to be his enemy in the future.

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath and stretched his body slightly while remaining silent and waiting for the other party to make a move in the negotiation.

At the same time, he began to give his body psychological hints, trying to dispel the timidity and anxiety in his heart when facing his followers.

If nothing unexpected happens, his wife should also be waiting for his "support" in this room.

And then he needs to have a conversation with the other party called "invitation" but actually "negotiation".

He needs to control his emotions and avoid showing weakness in this negotiation.

But the next moment, Irisviel's words in the room 'sunk' all the plans of this 'magician killer'.

His brain suddenly became blank, like a computer crash.
-
"Kiritsugu, I hope to invite this Saber to heal my Servant's severed finger and leave it to me to take full responsibility.

"Whether it's verifying the feasibility of the plan or negotiating the remuneration, I hope Kiritsugu will not interfere."

After hearing his wife say something unusual and opinionated that didn't seem like something someone else would say.

Emiya Kiritsugu was completely frozen in place.

It's like my world and time have been paused.
At this moment, standing outside the door, he dared not move, like the heroine in some strange movie, who was trapped in a "pause" at the mercy of others under the influence of some strange and supermodel props.

After a while, he gradually came to his senses and began to accept this reality.

He first shook his head bitterly and sighed in his heart.

[It seems like I can't intervene in this negotiation. My plan has failed before it even started.]

[This Servant is truly remarkable. He managed to bewitch Irisviel in just a few minutes.]

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was somewhat suspicious, thought secretly in his heart, and he quickly made the most sensible decision - shut up and wait quietly.

This is his usual practice.

In the absence of sufficient information, it is always safer to wait and see as a spectator rather than intervene rashly.

However, after being rejected by Fang Yi, Kiritsugu Emiya did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stood against the wall, ready to support his wife at any time.

At this moment, his mind was somewhat 'confused', and he had already deduced the 'truth' that Irisviel had been 'bewitched' for just a few minutes.

[I'm afraid that after Irisviel revealed Saber's identity as Master, the other party had already prepared and simulated several dialogues to deal with Irisviel.]

Only in this way can you quickly 'bewitch' the other party in just a few minutes.

After completing his 'inference', Emiya Kiritsugu noticed Fang Yi's 'preparation'.

While raising the danger level of this servant to a higher level in his mind, he also vaguely sensed a piece of information that he was not willing to believe.

[The other party is very confident in his 'healing' skills.]

The other party does have some plans, but all of his plans are based on the fact that he can heal the Knight King.

Although Emiya Kiritsugu still doesn't believe that a powerful Saber can master such a wonderful technique,
But he still added this conclusion to Fang Yi's information with great certainty.

[In addition to the extremely strong panel attributes that can suppress any servant, the opponent is suspected to have extremely strong healing abilities or alchemy. ]
-
As the noise outside the door fell silent, Fang Yi's gaze fell again on Irisviel who was kneeling quietly on the tatami.

After sensing that the magic power flowing from the record [Avalon] could advance the mission, his goal became clearer:
She continued to create wounds on the opponent, forcing the opponent's "King of Knights" to transfer magic power back to her to continue to recover her body.

Then, he could capture the 'weak' magic power emerging from the opponent's body, originating from the 'King of Knights'.

And at this moment, with the blessing of [Avalon].

Several threads woven from magic appeared out of thin air at the edge of the wound on the lady's outstretched right arm, where the bone was visible.

These threads easily passed through the skin and flesh at the edge of the wound, quickly tightening and 'pulling' the wound closer, continuously shrinking the size of the wound.

The entire healing process is like an invisible big hand stitching up the wound.

However, Fang Yi looked at the other party with a rather calm gaze.

He was like a forensic doctor who was used to seeing corpses and was working on an autopsy. He was "recording" every detail of the lady's wound healing with an expressionless face.

By the way, he intercepted some of the opponent's magic power to prepare for his next demonstration of the [Mimic Limbs] using the [Skill Branch].

But he soon realized a fact - Irisviel, who had spoken rather harshly to Emiya Kiritsugu, was trembling slightly in her legs.

Although the lady appeared calm on the surface, it was clear that she was not as 'brave' and relaxed as she appeared.

Fang Yi, who had not yet completed the task, also threw out a bait in a rather calm tone at the right time.

Calmed the emotions of this 'experimental subject'.

"Just hold on to your courage for a little while longer.

"You should be able to feel the effects of [Mimic Limbs] soon. Confirm the effectiveness of this technique for your Servant."

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Alice's body trembled, but she did not remain silent.

Instead, he responded to Fang Yi's comfort with exceptionally tough words and a determined look.

“No, it’s not courage, it’s trust.

"As Saber's Master, I trust my Servant.

"I also believe what she said to me: 'As long as you don't harbor ill will towards that Servant, you won't receive ill will in return.'

"Therefore, I trust that you won't use this demonstration of your 'skills' to do anything to my body."
-
Hearing these somewhat 'naive' words, Fang Yi raised his brows slightly, as if he was a little surprised by her words.

But he soon regained his composure.

[This behavior is normal. If there is no ill will, this is the normal behavior of the accumulation of multiple abilities that increase the character's friendship.]

I have a bunch of friendship-related [Relics], traits, and talents on me. Under normal circumstances, they should play a role similar to 'charm'.

He nodded to the lady and whispered.

"In that case, then continue to maintain your 'trust'."

I observed the other person's wound for a while until I heard the prompt: "Your mission progress has increased from 85% to 91%. Please try to change the other person's magic output efficiency to advance the record."

He then reached out and cut an even more horrific wound on the lady's arm, challenging the limits of Avalon.

This time, the wound was 'sutured' even faster than last time.

The moment the wound appeared, it seemed as if it sensed the Master's danger.

The magic power from Artoria flowed along the [Cause and Effect Line] that connected the Master and the Servant, and appeared in the [Scabbard] inside the other party's body like a countercurrent.

And in a different and efficient way from before, he made the Master's magic power flow and began to heal the opponent's wounds.

Fang Yi observed all this quite calmly, and intercepted a lot of magic power to prepare for his next "quick operation".

But a few seconds later, a reminder sounded in his ears that made him feel a little unbearable.

The quest "Collect Altria's Magic Sample" has had its completion rate increased from 91% to 99%. The maximum amount of progress that can be made by recording this magic has been reached.

Please try to obtain a sample of magic power rich in [Dragon Factor] to advance the recording process.
-
Looking at this prompt, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and complain in his heart.

[Although cheating can advance the mission, will it still get stuck?] [Stuck at 99%. Isn't this a rip-off like those scammy activities where you get bonuses for pulling in people, and there's even a ridiculous 99.9% progress?]

But after seeing the prompt [Please try to obtain a magic sample rich in [Dragon Factor] to advance the recording progress.]

Fang Yi, who was stuck at the level, got hard.

The fist is hard.

At this moment, he had already realized something and had an urge to punch Miss Merlin.

He had already deduced what kind of scene the other party wanted to see when he said, "I'm looking forward to how you will contact 'Arthur'" through this 'hard requirement' that the other party had buried in the mission, which was not explicitly stated but had to be met.

Although my previous judgment on [Avalon] was not wrong.

But obviously, this kind of magic output that is so 'tiny' that it cannot be detected by Altria herself cannot obtain a magic sample rich in [Dragon Factor].

Under normal circumstances, in situations where magic power rich in [Dragon Factor] can appear, if the 'Knight King' cannot be persuaded to mobilize the Red Dragon Heart to actively cooperate.

Basically, you need to face the opponent's [Sword of Victory] directly, or release the [Magic Power] with great power.

Thinking of this, Fang Yi, who was ready to complete the task quickly and go back to find his swordsman lady, quickly found some corpses of [Marking Insects].

While drawing the alchemical circle to refine his fingers behind Irisviel's back, he also said something to Irisviel that shocked the other party but was also a little confused.

"Stretch out your right hand and make a mark to distinguish the old and new limbs.

"I'll perform a 'quick surgery' to cut off two of your fingers and replace them with two stronger ones, so you can truly experience the effects of [Mimic Limbs]."
-
Listening to Fang Yi's words, Alice's heart was a little nervous.

[Did he not use anesthesia to avoid the patient's pain during the transplant surgery?]

[Isn't this kind of surgery a bit wild and crude? ]

Although some doubts about the other party's righteousness arose in her heart, Irisviel stretched out her right hand tremblingly and expressed her attitude first.

Then he closed his eyes, clenched his teeth and pretended to be ready, while secretly starting to count sheep in his mind to distract himself.

【For Saber, it's worth the risk.】

However, a few seconds later, she heard a sentence that made her feel a little confused.

"Okay, let's go out and move around a bit.

"Get used to your new fingers, too."

Alice opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the two marked fingers that Fang Yi handed to her.

After moving it for a while, the new fingers suddenly became a little sluggish, but quickly became as flexible as the original fingers, with an incredible look on his face.

Is this what he meant by 'quick surgery'?

[How did he complete this 'quick surgery' by amputating the finger and attaching a new one? I didn't even notice! !]

After understanding the significance of the word "quick" in Fang Yi's "quick surgery".

She bent her fingers tentatively again, scratched her chin, and tested the feel of her 'new limb'.

[This finger is basically no different from the previous one! ]

【He is】
-
After finishing the operation, Fang Yi looked at Irisviel who was 'stranded' here.

He opened the door impatiently, threw the lady out, and added a few words.

"Hold your original finger and show your new finger to your servant and others.

“After the demonstration, if you still have any psychological problems, I will reattach your old finger.

"In a few minutes, when I walk out of here, the next operation will begin."

After saying this, he looked at Emiya Kiritsugu who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Fang Yi closed the door impatiently and took out the [Relic] [Extra Mana Source].

After practicing the joint derivative skill branch he had just acquired on the other party, he planned to use this [relic] to conduct in-depth research on this [joint derivative skill branch].

While verifying some of my own conjectures, I also eliminate some potential hidden dangers in the [implant].

He was also fully prepared to kill the 'monster' that he had thrown into his personal space and imprisoned.

In Fang Yi's opinion, the effect of obtaining this branch of skills from the other party can be described as "mysterious".
-
【Erosion Assimilation】

Skill branch type: Joint derivative skill branch

Active effects:

【Touch of Corrosion】

When coming into contact with a living being or object that meets the requirements and can become the material used for [Implant] or [Alien Joint].

Able to use alchemy to strip away the flesh and blood of humanoid creatures and inject magic into the target, initiating [Erosion] on them.

Objects and creatures that are [eroded] will slowly improve their [compatibility] with the humanoid creatures of flesh, blood, and magic, and undergo unknown changes.

prompt:

1. Objects that can be [eroded] include but are not limited to living things, debris, and equipment.

2. The progress of [Erosion] will be affected by the amount of flesh and blood used, the skill levels of [Alchemy·Flesh Transformation], [Implant Fusion], [Limb Fusion], special equipment, talents, traits, and other factors.

3. If the [eroded] object reaches the [compatibility] required to initiate [implant fusion] and [external limb joint], and has come into contact with the human body.

[Erosion] creatures and objects will quickly improve their [compatibility] with the human body as magic power and blood flow.
-
【Symbiotic Assimilation】

It can quickly assimilate the [implant] and 'alien limb' in the body, a part of the implanter's body, and use it for its own benefit.

At the same time, it slowly absorbs the characteristics of the corresponding 'alien limb' into its own flesh and blood and performs [reconstruction].

The reconstructed tissue can permanently replace the original body part, inheriting the characteristics of the target depending on the specific circumstances of the reconstructed tissue.

(For example, [Reconstructing] the limbs of elemental creatures will provide spell resistance and an increase in the corresponding magical properties, and [Reconstructing] mechanical prosthetic limbs will gain strength and precision corrections).

It consumes a large amount of vitality to destroy the [implant] and the 'alien limb', at the cost of gradually increasing maximum health loss per second.

Perform a temporary assimilation that lasts for a certain period of time, acquiring most of the abilities of the [implant] and the 'alien limb'.

prompt:

1. At the same time, only one target can be reconstructed once.

2. When a Reincarnator [reconstructs] an alien limb or [implant] that is far superior to his own rank, the probability of failure will increase significantly.

3. When [Assimilation] fails, [Reverse Assimilation] will be triggered, and the transplanted limbs and [implants] will undergo uncontrollable deformation.

Enable preconditions:

1. The skill level of [Alien Limb Reconstruction] must be no less than [LV5], and possess traits or talents related to [Body Modification].

2. [Alchemy·Body Transformation] skill must be no less than [level 10] and must have obtained at least one high-value skill branch.

3. The skill level of [Implant Fusion] is not less than [LV5], and at least several difficult [Body Transformation] operations have been performed.

4. When launching [Erosion] and [Assimilation], you need to use highly adaptable flesh and blood to add to the refining.
-
Summary:
After absorbing the knowledge of [Alien Limb Reconstruction] and [Implant Fusion], a strange monster used its highly adaptable flesh and blood to unleash a mysterious technique.

This technique completely blurs the boundaries between the joined 'alien limb' and the implanted [implant] and the user's [main body].

The user can plunder and reconstruct, just like building blocks, to make various special "alien limbs" and [implants] gradually fit themselves.

Finally [assimilate] and reorganize into part of one's own body.

Let your body approach the perfect form infinitely.

Evaluation:

[The so-called foreign body is nothing more than another part of the self that has not yet been tamed.]
-
It is obvious that this [joint derivative skill branch] derived from [implant fusion] and [alien limb joint] is the "capital" for the "monster" to activate the [implant] and devour the "limb".

After taking out some [Marking Worms], they launched [Erosion] on the [Relic] and [Source of Extra Mana].

After observing that the properties of this [relic] did not change after activating [Erosion], Fang Yi still did not let down his guard.

He took out two more gold bars, closed his eyes, and activated a skill that he had not used for a long time.

After a while, he took out seven gold bars again, placed his hand on the [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity] and activated his skill to verify his guess. Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"As expected, you played this trick."
