Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 372 Your name is good, so you can die
"It's really annoying to have uninvited guests come in the middle of the night."

The voice that Fang Yi sent to Francesca's ears through the rain was extremely abrupt.

The sound seemed to be far away in the sky, yet also seemed to be close to my ears.

It gives people a sense of uncertainty and freedom.

The magician, holding the parasol, subconsciously trembled as a result, and quickly stood up and took a defensive stance.

[That Servant! When? ]

"I'll give you a chance to explain your identity and purpose in one sentence."

It echoed in my ears again.

Like the bait that is rolled into a ball and sprinkled under the water when fishing, it makes a sound that deliberately reveals its presence.

Francesca finally noticed the other party's presence and determined the other party's approximate location through the "traceable" sound.

She stopped plucking the flowers and looked up.

She effortlessly crossed the thick and sticky rain that crackled her parasol and detected the owner of the voice.

The man standing under the eaves had a somewhat blurry face.

But one could vaguely make out the figure of a man wearing a haori and with his eyes closed.

[It's that man! That Servant! ]
-
Subconsciously, he measured the distance between them.

After comparing the distance between the old man and the man holding the stone knife, he realized that he was far away.

Francesca was shocked.

[I've clearly learned my lesson from those two warriors and kept a safe distance.]

[Why can he sense me from this distance! ! ! ]

But I noticed the content of the conversation.

Compared to the old man who took direct action to "kill the villain".

and the man with the stone knife, “Stop talking nonsense, kill him.”

A somewhat 'weak' statement.

It was confirmed that he did not show any strong murderous intent, nor did he make any gesture to attack.

He sensed that his unsolvable [Illusion] was working as usual.

Those several immortal [Sea Devils] still faithfully acted as a 'barrier'.

Stand between yourself and the other person to ensure your own safety.

The shock disappeared as quickly and sharply as it had come.

She quickly relaxed
The other party's 'weakness' and relatively 'friendly' attitude did not make her start to respect him.

Instead, it made her feel a little more disdainful of this man as if she was itching for trouble.

[Although his perception is slightly stronger than those two terrifying warriors, he is surprisingly weak.]

As a result, Francesca's behavior became even more "outrageous".

She twirled her umbrella and smiled at the man in a somewhat malicious way.

"An uninvited guest, a bad guest, is that an extremely bad word?
"It's like he's like Santa Claus, working tirelessly to distribute 'presents' to everyone."

She was responded to by Fang Yi's somewhat cold voice.

“There’s too much nonsense when you talk.

“It’s a bad habit, just like inflating the word count when writing.

"So I'll help you 'correct' this problem."
-
Francesca heard what Fang Yi said.

He saw Fang Yi, with his eyes closed, slowly drawing the long sword from his waist.

There was no sign of fear on his face.

Instead, a look of intense anticipation flashed across his face.

"Oh, are you angry?

"But isn't it foolish to inform the enemy of your actions before drawing your sword?"

In response to her, the man clenched his hands and simply chopped down the long sword, which seemed to have no power at all.

And a reply that sounded a little arrogant to her.

"unnecessary.

"Because you can't hide."

When sensing the [Jiao Zi] related to malice in [Nine Evolutions of Dragon Refining], it is activated.

It is confirmed that the other party is hostile to you and is an enemy that you need to be wary of.

After stacking a number of [Shangri-La·Gai], [Jing·Who Else But Me] and other [perception-enhancing] skills and equipment.

He vaguely grasped the other party's position.

At the same time, he also realized that the other party used the [Illusion] with the effect of [Mind Interference and Five Senses Control] to distort his cognition.

Through a series of skills and equipment that [increase resistance to [Illusion] type skills].

After greatly reducing the impact of [Illusion] on the five senses and taking control of the body.

Fang Yi closed his eyes tightly and activated [Mind's Eye (Fake)], slashing out with the sword. This was a blind-hitting warm-up.

He was ready to practice the [Fake Mind] which he had almost mastered, except for breaking through a thin layer of window paper.

He also used this enemy to test his own methods of dealing with [illusions].
-
"Can't hide? You don't even know where I am."

But before Francesca could finish her words, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

She sensed something unusual that she couldn't describe, but it made her hair stand on end.

[Strange, did something happen? ]

Francesca instinctively twirled her parasol.

But I was surprised to find that I could no longer do this.

Because the parasol and her arm holding it had fallen to the ground silently.

The expectant look on Francesca's face suddenly froze.

It turned into a kind of surprise mixed with panic.

[Coincidence? Or can he see me through the [illusion]?]

[How is this possible! Those warriors can't even see me!]

What about those Sea Devils? How did he manage to get past them and slash me?

He ignored the strange and severe pain in his right arm that seemed to be pulling out the [immortality] in his body.

She then turned her attention to the undead [Sea Devils].

He hopes to use these monsters to deduce the other party's mysterious methods.

It was only at this moment, while trying to control and move the [Sea Demon], that she belatedly realized something.

Those [Sea Devils] were as dull and ignorant as she was.

Until she sent the command "Move" to the Sea Devil.

Only then did she realize that these [Sea Devils] had suddenly 'disconnected' from her in a strange way.

It silently turned into a pool of silent black mud, and then dissipated into the air like a bubble.

The remaining surprise on her face disappeared.

Instead, panic spread rapidly through his body and began to crawl onto her face.

[Even that incredibly powerful old man had traces of his spear tip.]

[Why do I have no room to react to this strange sword technique?]

【Who is he exactly? 】

What is he going to do? Kill me? Or?

The next moment, the man's 'friendly' words of explanation and his empty shoulders cleared up her doubts.

“After all, based on my experience.

"Pick up your hands and you'll be able to effectively improve the efficiency of the conversation."

Fang Yi looked at Francesca who was already getting wet in the rain.
"State your name and why you're here."

The man's words sounded like a final verdict.

She was consumed by panic.

Sensing something was wrong, she didn't hesitate for a moment and used her only remaining arm to take out the last invitation made of human skin.

He bowed his head respectfully and made a gesture of handing it over.

He explained his purpose quickly and uncommonly and gave his name.

"I'm here to deliver an invitation to the 'banquet'.

"[François], you can also call me [Francesca]."
-
It sounded like the same name as my mission target, the [Immortal Magician].

And the sound in my ears:
[You overcame powerful [Illusion] skills and successfully captured the opponent's position through your own perception, completing a brilliant attack.]

[Affected by [Module·Limitbreaker], talent [Diligent Learning], and skill [Mind's Eye (True)]. ]

[Your understanding of [Mind's Eye (False)] has deepened again. You have mastered [Mind's Eye (False)].] [You have triggered the quest [François' Invitation]. Please accept the invitation to unlock the quest details.] The prompt sounded.

The standard smile on Fang Yi's face became more intense.

"François?

"Your name is nice."

I took a look at the super reward of 12000 points in [Immortal Magician].

He made a split-second judgment.

The task is not that simple.

The other party should have a [Soul Box] or something like Miss Aozaki's [Perfect Doll] that can "resurrect".

To be on the safe side, it would be best to try to kill her once like Miss Aozaki did.

Earn some points and put them in your pocket.
-
And saw Fang Yi's strong smile.

Not quite understanding the meaning of the other party's 'standard smile', Francesca, unaware of the other party's murderous intent, relaxed.

The panic on her face faded slightly, but the wariness in her eyes remained.

[It seems like it has a desire to communicate. This body shouldn't be scrapped.]

[However, the [Illusion] has little effect on him, so he needs to be cautious.]

She secretly created an illusion that was enough to deceive the world and secretly "repaired" her arm.

At the same time, he used [Enhancement Magic] on his legs to create the prerequisites for his escape.

After making preparations for both situations and being on guard against the man's attacks, she spoke.

"Please"

Before the girl finished speaking, she realized she could no longer speak.

It was like a person who possessed [divinity] encountered his natural enemy, the [Chain of Heaven].

The space around her suddenly became stagnant.

His hands and feet were already bound by a powerful and somewhat familiar magical force.

Looking at the man's left eye that radiated magic, she cried out in disbelief.

"[Magic Eye]!
"It's the same type as that [Red of Pain] (Aozaki Touko), but a more powerful and advanced [Mystic Eyes]!
"Are you a follower, or..."

And opened his left eye, which was embedded with the [Eye of Vision].

The 'gaze' condition was achieved through the expanded field of vision of [Vision Control].

[Binding] was established, and the target of the spell was expanded at the cost of [double the mana consumption, weakened perception and soul binding effects].

He drained all his magic power and successfully launched a large-scale [Eye of Confinement] to control the opponent.

After performing a somewhat rogue action that was like electrocuting fish and then casting a net to catch them.

He swung the [California Clear Light] in his hand again, and with the help of the [Absolute Sword], he struck the opponent.

Completed the "shameless" act of shooting at a fixed target.

After confirming that this knife had completed the kill.

He uttered the second half of the sentence.

"So you can go die."
-
As Fang Yi finished speaking, the sound of rain lingering in Francesca's ears disappeared.

I realized that my perspective suddenly lowered and was sliding downward.

Realizing that he had been cut in half.

After his [illusion] that was so realistic that it could deceive the world failed to cause any effective interference to the other party.

Francesca was stunned for half a second.

Then he looked at Fang Yi and uttered words of amazement.

“What a fast knife.

“No heroic spirit in this [Holy Grail War] should be able to escape your sword.

"I'm afraid only the man with the stone knife can rival you.

"It's just that I misjudged you. It seems you have more than just the skills of a warrior."

Sensing the blessing of this weak body, the [Illusion] that had not been able to fully exert its effect could no longer be maintained.

He couldn't [cheat the world] to turn the tide of battle as usual, so he should just give up this body.

She stiffened her face and forced a malicious smile.

He threatened Fang Yi just like he did when he was killed in the past.

"You're the second person in as many years who could 'kill' me.

"Congratulations, you've caught my attention."

He decisively activated the final magic to dissolve his body to avoid being cursed and tracked.

Francesca looked at the invitation letter that fell to the ground and uttered some profound words.

“But this isn’t over yet.

"I'll prepare a little special treat for you at this 'grand banquet'.

"Well, see you next time."

Fang Yi responded to him with rather bland words after picking up the invitation letter.

"The next time we meet you will be your death."

Hearing this, Francesca thought with disdain.

"That's impossible, until you can unravel my [World of Deception] and [Illusion] like those reclusive elves and Merlin who can't leave the world."

【François and I are immortal.】

Then her vision went black.
-
With the death of this body named Francesca.

Fang Yi's ears also rang with several prompt sounds, indicating the harvest.

[You killed one of François's bodies, and some of the conditions for the [Undead Magician] are met.]

【4000 points have been issued.】

After hearing that the space gave one third of the points as a reward.

Fang Yi already had some guesses about this mission.

He should have to "kill" the other party twice before he can take away all the rewards.

At the same time, the long-lost reminder sound of [Five Emperors' Coins] rang in his ears.

[Collect the enemy's vitality and gain 10 years of free lifespan. The current free lifespan increases from 180 years to 190 years.]

This [relic] has finally found an object from which it can draw vitality.

A "plucking of feathers from passing geese" was carried out.

Fang Yi's pitiful remaining life span had increased a little.

At the same time, the 'Fuel' on the [Human Pill Method] panel also gained money.

It changed from 3000 points to 3500 points.

It seems that only this kind of 'Old Deng' who has lived for hundreds of years is the favorite of these two [Relics].

After reviewing the harvest, Fang Yi picked up the invitation letter that had fallen to the ground.

After confirming with the help of [Curse and Luck] that there was no [Curse] in it, he opened the invitation.

Then he saw a sentence that made him frown.

“The time has come to drive out the fakes.

"Stupid contestants.

"I, a man of extraordinary wisdom, will reveal to you, fools, a hollow and disillusioning truth.

"The Holy Grail you seek will remain a mere fake until we expel the counterfeit."

Seeing this, Fang Yi touched his chin.

He didn't need the other party to say it was "abnormal". Knowing the "plot", he already understood that this "Holy Grail War" was very "strange" from the beginning.

Fourteen servants, but the venue was not full when they entered due to the absence of some Samsaras.

That powerful [Relic] that is not in the original work, capable of enhancing the Servant, but has not yet been revealed.

A heroic spirit outside of the seven major classes.

Miss Merlin left herself with a friendly reminder of the need to find the 'cap'.

Including the 'fate' revealed by the [protagonist] card and the appearance of the 'scavenger'.

And some abnormalities of this [Little Holy Grail] that he had sensed when he was treating Irisviel previously.

These 'abnormalities' outside the plot probably all mean one thing.

The story behind this [Holy Grail War] is probably more than just [the evil of this world].

However, the act of [killing the Heroic Spirit] to accelerate the appearance of the [Holy Grail] may lead to unknown consequences, and in extreme cases it may accelerate the completion of this [Assessment Mission].

Thinking of this, Fang Yi's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to study the rest of the content of the invitation letter.
