Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 394 I'll Risk Everything to Kill You
However, the only response he got was an unusually cold reminder tone echoing in his ears.

[It has been detected that you have not fully acquired the ownership of [Relics] [Book of the Dead].]

[You currently do not have the right to initiate a [recharge] to convert it into available 'balance' in the [Book of Time].]

[You must obtain at least 51% ownership of the item before you can discount it according to your ownership. The current ownership of the relic is 31%.]

[Zhang Yong] heard the rejection tone from the [Book of Time] that changed his destiny.

After noticing that the ownership had increased from 21% to 31%, he nodded with satisfaction.

Right now, he doesn't have the ability to recharge this relic that can be used with his 'plug-in' into a 'balance' at this point in time.

Even if he wanted to kill the chicken to get the eggs, he had to get the chicken of the [Book of the Dead] first.

Then consider further whether to make a bet like sacrificing the [relic] of [resurrection] to cut off the man's retreat.

And the behavior just now that seemed like asking for the price was just his attempt to verify something indirectly through his biggest 'plug-in' [Book of Time].

Can the ownership of this [relic] be changed by [trying to fulfill the deceased's last wish] as stated in the introduction, but not in the function?

Whether your previous efforts were effective.

Now that he had verified that the method of changing the ownership of this [relic] was effective, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, this transfer of ownership is very special, it’s a [relic] that will be dropped upon death.

“It seems there is a little hope of getting it.

"Before I go to war with that man, I might be able to kill the Servant and gain ownership of this [relic] that can [search the soul] of others.

"Give me a quick and flexible chip."
-
He unfolded the [Book of the Dead] in his hand and was about to study this [relic] in depth.

However, before he could think about how to complete the task in the [relic] borrowed from Cheng Xiang.

The notification sound of the "hack" called "Book of Time" continued abnormally.

['Solidification' skill [Full] to [lv9] 'Perfection'.]

[Based on your current situation, talent, and the influence of the [Fallen Genius], it will take one year [time] and consume or repay 20000 points of 'balance'.]

The required time corresponds to the sum of the balance and the repayment balance exceeding the sum of the current balance and the overdraft limit.

Before he could understand the meaning of this nonsense.

The "plug-in" named "Book of Time" made an unexpected mistake in his previous attempt to exploit the loophole.

[This consultation has ended. Due to repeated consultation on the same matter, you will need to pay the corresponding [time]. ]

[Your 'balance' and 'overdraft limit' have been automatically consumed to convert into [time] payment.]

[Your [Time] is insufficient. Please [recharge] as soon as possible or practice to improve your skills and gain universal 'balance' which can be converted into [Time] to repay.]
-
Before he could communicate with the Book of Time, this "plug-in" domineeringly forced him to take out a loan.

[Until the corresponding 'balance' is paid off, 'solidification' cannot be performed]

If you repay the overdraft limit you use in one lump sum, the interest rate will be calculated at 15%. If you repay in installments, the interest rate will be calculated at .

【Please select the repayment mode. 】

Zhang Yong felt his hands swell up from repeatedly using [Enhanced Magic Level 14] to repay the 10000 points he'd 'advanced' from this skill.

I couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"What about skinning? I'm being asked to pay off the 'balance' by instalments when I can pay it back with just a few dozen points of knife practice.

“Whatever you do, you have to have a ‘balance’.

"How can there be such an 'incompetent' and 'blood-sucking' 'hack' like you?"

But even though he was very dissatisfied with the "skinning" behavior of the Book of Time.

However, the man still picked up the stone sword and turned to face the [Assassin Izo Okada] who was stunned by the blow.

He needs to practice swordsmanship with the other party to repay his debt.

“Take up the knife.

“If nothing unexpected happens, we still have some time before that Sea Devil appears and my plan officially begins.

"Due to time constraints, I can't spend several hours 'taking my time' like I did with [Cold Silence] and 'Intention' before.

"Next, I will teach you a move called [Heat Death] that is extremely difficult, one that cannot be learned even by expending a single [Command Seal] to activate a [Noble Phantasm].

The only response he got was from a Servant in black haori, with a blank and helpless look like that of an abandoned puppy.
-
Watching him pick up the sword as if awakening from a dream, it seemed as if he had caught a glimpse of swordsmanship that he could not understand and was beyond the scope of imitation of his [Noble Phantasm].

A servant who realizes the huge gap between his swordsmanship and his own.

Looking at the familiar look on the other person's face, the confused expression after they first hit the barrier of talent, or "lost" the talent they were proud of.

[Zhang Yong] I truly saw the shadow of my past self in the other person.

The memory of the long and decadent time after he was knocked down from the cloud of genius and turned into a useless person with broken tendons and veins and unable to even hold a knife also emerged in his mind.

Looking at his servant, he gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.

[What's with your confusion? What's with that lost look in your eyes?]

If you give up after encountering such a minor difficulty and setback, then what about me, who fell into hell and climbed out of it through my own efforts to get to where I am today?

How can someone like you be worthy of being my [follower]?

He held out his scarred hand.

After using the [Full Bloom] to the point of nearly burning himself out and risking his life to obtain the [Book of Time], he lost his soul.

Even after receiving the first-level healing of the space, his hands still felt a little soft and weak.

He grabbed the other person's neck and lifted him up like he was picking up trash.

His eyes widened, and his entire face was pressed against the other person's face.

Then he taught the other party a lesson in a tone of disappointment, retaliating for the other party's previous provocation.

"Didn't you claim that I could learn swordsmanship just by seeing it once?

“Aren’t you a genius!!!”

As he spoke, Zhang Yong angrily yelled at his servant.

Even a few drops of saliva splashed onto his servant's face.

"Weren't you just so arrogant, thinking you were no weaker than that old man, and even wanted to kill that woman?!

“If you want to do this!
"Then use your knife to prove it to me!!!
"You're such a genius."

Okada Izo, who was almost suffocated, heard the words of his master and looked at his master's angry expression so close to him.

Infected by this emotion, he subconsciously clenched his teeth.

[Then watch carefully, Master!]

[My swordsmanship is unrivaled, surpassing the entire generation.]

He drew the katana from his waist and gripped the long sword tightly.

Using the remaining oxygen in his body and the little strength left in his arms, he swung the knife at the man.

After a few minutes, I heard a ringing in my ears.

Your Servant, Okada Izo, has initially learned Heat Death. Your bond level with him has been raised to Level 9. You can now attempt to obtain special equipment.

After the notification sounded, "Your used 'Overdraft' has been repaid. Your 'Overdraft' has been increased by 10 points. You are welcome to use your 'Overdraft' again." Zhang Yong looked at the collapsed Servant and smiled with satisfaction.

He sat down on the ground without caring about his image and unfolded the [Book of the Dead].

He quickly researched the [Last Wish] that could increase his ownership and allow him to obtain this [relic] dropped by death.

Soon, he set his sights on Cheng Xiang, the previous owner of the [relic], who was unwilling to accept his own death and recorded his [last wish] in the [relic].

No surprises.

When he then killed the servant to fulfill the contract in exchange for Shen Li's help, he cut off the man's support.

You can then easily enhance the ownership of this [relic].
-
【Last Wish: Cheng Xiang】

I want to obtain more alien flesh and blood and perform more [body transformation].

Even more, he wanted to chop off the two hands of the blond-haired, blue-eyed Saber that he had failed to obtain.

He also wanted to kill the red archer who looked like an Archer and the man in the haori who was trying to stop him.

Last Wish Progress: 21%
【Last Wish Gift】

Memories related to Alchemy.

You have not mastered the relevant skills. This memory can be converted into [Alchemy·School of Truth lv7], [Alchemy·Material Transformation lv2], and [Alchemy·Body Transformation lv4].
-
[Since he's good at alchemy, is the reward related to alchemy?]

"If I die, whoever 'inherits' this [relic] should also be able to obtain the sword-related rewards from me."

After sighing inexplicably, Zhang Yong set his sights on this relic.

Currently, [Soul Search], which is used to steal the target's memory, cannot be used due to ownership.

There is only one [Last Wish] in the [Book of the Dead] that can generate benefits.

According to his plan, he could only focus on the other party's [last wish] and start to improve his ownership.

After he collected several [Sea Monsters] and exchanged some exotic beasts from [Shen Li], he did not plan to challenge the huge [Sea Monster] according to the plan.

The progress of the first [Last Wish] has reached its peak.

He could only focus on chopping off Saber's hand and killing the red archer, and at the same time fulfill his promise to Shen Li to kill the servant and gain his help.

Then kill the man.

After thinking about it based on the resources at hand and stroking his chin for a few minutes.

He quickly focused his attention on his 'initial identity' [a spy planted by Emiya Kiritsugu in the Clock Tower].

As a student of the Clock Tower, he had already come up with a plan after recalling the information he had previously collected about the student who stole Kenneth's Holy Relic.

He needs to contact two magicians and set up a trap.

The man who had planned out the plan looked at the task named [Assessment Task III: The Short Man Pulls Out the General] on the panel and recalled Fang Yi's figure.

His eyes suddenly became fierce.

"[Lord God Space] I know you are watching.

"You issued a mission offering an incredibly generous reward for me to lead this battle.

"They even gave me the insulting name 'Shorty Pulling Out the General', clearly not believing I could succeed."

As Zhang Yong spoke, he walked out of the factory without looking back.

While continuing to speak words to boost his courage.

“I also know that the enemy’s growth rate is incredibly abnormal.

"To be able to enter this mission, he must have the same 'hack' as my [Book of Time]."

I stepped hard on the flooded ground and looked at the dazzling sunlight reflected in the water.

[Zhang Yong] raised his head and declared his victory towards the midday sun.

“But I just want to show you how successful I am.

"Just like before, you were not optimistic about my obtaining the [Book of Time] and the [Protagonist] card again."

After engraving Fang Yi's figure into his mind, he gave his last words.

"I'm going to risk everything, then kill you and keep going."

The man gripped the long stone knife tightly in his hand.

Just as he was determined to climb out of hell, he picked up the knife he had discarded and repeated what he had said at that time.

[When I hold this sword again, my swordsmanship will be the best in the world.]

At this moment, there are still eight hours, fourteen minutes and twenty-seven seconds until sunset.
-
Emiya residence, study.

The man named Emiya Kiritsugu was sitting in front of a slightly tilted desk, holding up a piece of printed paper covered with words.

After looking at the fax coming out of the fax machine for several minutes, he was unable to make a decision and subconsciously touched the cigarette box at hand.

After finding nothing, he realized something.

All the cigarettes on him were gone after Irisviel 'accidentally' saw the ashtray full of cigarette butts that he had hidden.

It had been 'confiscated' by the red archers who followed the opponent's instructions.

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was craving for a cigarette, smoothed his coat, took out the pistol loaded with the [Origin Bullet] and smoothed it.

Only then did the irritability ease a little.

The content of this fax is very simple.
-
Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, please allow me to disturb you again.

I am Zhang Yong, the spy you planted in the Clock Tower.

In short, I was lucky enough to obtain the qualification to [Summon a Heroic Spirit] and successfully summoned a Heroic Spirit.

Therefore, in the letter I deliver this time, my identity will not be that of a spy, but as a Master.

This letter is not intended to convey intelligence to you, but rather contains a detailed cooperation plan.

If the plan is successfully implemented, a concerted effort will be made to attack the church.

You and I can use this to obtain abundant [Command Seals] and leave everyone else behind.
-
This fax came from the spy he had previously sent to the Clock Tower.

The other party not only sent a fax, but also an email.

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the red archer who had become unusually silent since he pushed the door open and walked in.

He asked the other party a question.

"Caster, do you think I should agree to this collaboration?"
-
At the same time, at the Tohsaka residence.

Rin Tousaka arrived at the Tousaka residence and got out of the car.

Looking at the familiar mansion, the girl lowered her head to look at her shiny little leather shoes, then immediately straightened her back.

He looked at Kotomine Kirei, who was standing at the door and seemed to be very surprised by the arrival of himself, his mother, and Ms. Zhuang, and was talking to someone from the [Cathedral Church].

Sakura Matou, who was in the car weaving a bracelet to give to Fang Yi, looked at her sister.

He shook his head barely audibly.
