Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

Thinking about this, Shen Qiu's brain began to work at lightning speed.

"Let me first confirm, you are Dankalabi, right? The creature who signed an equal contract with me six months ago, and who often appears as a raven afterward, is that you?"

The girl nodded.

"Then why did you always appear as a crow before?" Shen Qiu asked seriously.

“The magic power you provided before was insufficient, and the dimensional portals that I could use only allowed a very small portion of my power to come over. Therefore, I had to use the identity of a raven.”

"I see..." Upon hearing the girl's reply, Shen Qiu couldn't help but scratch his head. During his battle with Zouken, he had used his own blood as a medium and mixed in a large amount of magic to summon Dankabi.

He had hoped that he could summon a larger bird to take Yan Ye and the others away, but unexpectedly, Dankabi was actually a human.

If that's the case, could it be that the seventy-two gods of Solomon were actually all human, but were demonized by later generations?

Upon realizing this, Shen Qiu seemed startled, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"It's just that I prefer to use my human form compared to other Pillar Gods. In fact, transformation is a basic ability that every Pillar God has, and no one cares what they look like."

As if guessing what Shen Qiu was thinking, Dan Karabi replied.

"I see." Shen Qiu suddenly understood after hearing Dankalabi's explanation.

"So, may I ask about your current strength? This is very important to me, as it may play a crucial role in the upcoming plans."

At this point, Shen Qiu's expression turned serious.

"I am not very good at fighting, and because I am being suppressed, I can only exert about one-fifth of my original strength right now. If we were to categorize my strength according to your human strength system, I would probably be in the Grand rank."

"His combat ability isn't very strong, that's troublesome. A Grand rank, a Grand rank..."

Shen Qiu only realized what was happening after hearing the word "single-carabbi".

"Grand rank? One-fifth of their strength?"

Shen Qiu felt like his brain was about to crash. "Grand Rank" is not very strong? You should know that your strength can only barely reach the level of a pseudo-Grand Rank when you use magic release.

It's important to know that the highest rank generally considered to be in the Clock Tower is the Color Rank, because the Grand Rank is extremely difficult to achieve; the number of Grand Rank magicians currently in existence can be counted on two hands.

Chapter 55: Tracking Down Zouken Matou (Seeking Flowers)

Is this the enormous gap between the Age of Gods and the modern world?

Upon hearing Dankalabi's words, Shen Qiu's lips twitched. In the history recorded by the Clock Tower, the Age of Gods and the modern era can be considered two completely different eras.

From the time Gilgamesh broke with the gods in 3500 BC, the Age of Gods began its steady decline. In 931 BC, the death of King Solomon, a legendary figure and the founder of modern magic, marked the complete end of the Age of Gods.

And what followed was a mysterious and rapid decline.

In the age of gods, the grand magic tricks that ordinary magicians could perform with a wave of their hands now require not only elaborate incantations, rituals, and ceremonial attire, but also a test of the caster's lineage and talent.

Therefore, what Shen Qiu considered "very weak" to be actually very strong, as a Grand Servant in general is someone who can go toe-to-toe with a Servant.

"You can drive? This isn't a good place to talk, let's go somewhere else."

By this time, it was fully light, and more and more people were gathering to watch and work. Among them were inevitably some mysterious individuals, after all, they had made such a commotion last night, and who knew if anyone had noticed.

"By the way, have you ever learned to drive before? But there are cars to drive in Hell?" Looking at the girl in front of him who skillfully shifted gears, turned the steering wheel, and stepped on the gas, Shen Qiu felt that he wouldn't be surprised by anything she did next.

"I didn't know how before, but I learned it after just one look."

The girl's answer was still concise and clear. Shen Qiu had always felt that his chatting skills were already terrible, but this girl in front of him seemed to be even better.

"Perhaps demons think differently from normal people..."

While silently thinking this, Shen Qiu called Tsuru and asked him to take Kariya and Sakura to the neighboring city of Zen. The current atmosphere in Fuyuki was tense and unsettling, and it was no longer suitable for them to stay there.

"Master, how is Lancelot doing now?" Looking at his master gazing out the window, Shen Qiu suddenly remembered this important matter.

As the most powerful member of his team, Lancelot's importance was irreplaceable. Before he arrived at the villa, the berserk Knight of the Lake had already been driven mad by Salieri, just like his class.

Although he remained in a spirit form for some unknown reason, he did not respond to Shen Qiu's calls at all. If it weren't for the two bright red Command Seals still on the back of his hand, Shen Qiu would have thought he had been eliminated.

"This is not good. That Avenger's mental attack is extremely powerful. If it were a Servant of another class, it might be better, but Berserker is the Servant with the weakest mental strength and the lowest magic resistance. He was completely countered by that Avenger."

Upon hearing his master's words, Shen Qiu couldn't help but sigh.

“That old bug came prepared. He must have summoned the Avenger to target the Berserker’s characteristics and monitored our actions in advance. The Berserker will soon be no match for the Avenger and will lose its fighting ability. Even if you arrive by then, it will be a one-on-one situation.”

"At the same time, Saber, the Servant of Kiritsugu Emiya who is allied with us, is also fighting Rider. In other words, he has already planned everything. Even if we rush back at an extremely fast speed, you will also be blocked by Avenger. I will be in a one-on-one situation with Zouken."

At this point, Shen Qiu's expression unconsciously turned serious. Even though his body had been damaged once and he was extremely weak, Zang Yan was still able to quickly formulate such a detailed and almost perfect plan for the weekend, which showed his cunning.

“Avenger doesn’t need to defeat you, Master. He just needs to stall you for as long as possible. Once Zouken defeats me, you will naturally be unable to remain in this world.”

This time, I was completely outmaneuvered by that old bug. If it weren't for the fact that my strength had improved dramatically compared to half a year ago, and that I had figured out how to use magic power, I might have actually succeeded.

“Master, your talent is truly astonishing. In fact, even excluding the present, I have rarely seen a child with such high talent as you in the Age of Gods thousands of years ago. Even Cú Chulainn is far inferior to you.”

The master turned around and smiled at Shen Qiu.

"I don't want to be compared to that great hero of Ulster. I'm just an ordinary person." Shen Qiu smiled wryly. This body must be a blessing given to him by the big egg, which is why he is so outstanding in all aspects.

“You don’t need to be modest. I have never seen anyone before who could learn so much runes in just a few days and nights. And you have not only learned it, but you are able to use its power.”

Scáthach never hesitates to praise truly outstanding people.

P.S.: Please give me flowers! Please give me flowers! Please give me flowers!!!

Chapter 56: The Abilities of Single Karabi (Seeking Flowers)

The Porsche slowly pulled up in front of a roadside café called "Venetian Charm." Looking exhausted, Shen Qiu got out of the car in a daze. He didn't know when it started, but he had gotten used to not sleeping for days.

"This won't do..." Shen Qiu thought to himself as he ordered a classic Americano and a sandwich. He now understood why Emiya Kiritsugu liked such an unbearably bitter drink; it was indeed an excellent way to refresh himself.

After gulping down his iced black coffee, Shen Qiu finally felt alive again. Although his body was now much stronger than that of an ordinary person, he was still made of flesh and blood.

After a fierce battle with Zouken and staying up all night, I was only a little sleepy. Maybe that's what magicians are like—creatures beyond ordinary people.

"Single Karabi, you said before that your combat ability is not strong, so what aspect of ability do you focus on?" Shen Qiu asked the black-haired girl sitting opposite him while chewing on his sandwich.

Although what she said, "probably just Grand rank," can be considered not strong.

“I am quite skilled in reconnaissance and barrier techniques. If it were this city, my children would probably be able to complete the search in about a day. If I had time to prepare in advance, I could set up a barrier technique that even a Grand Mage could not break.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu immediately perked up.

"A barrier technique that even a Grand rank can't handle? That's incredibly powerful. So, what kind of barrier technique can you create, Karabi?" When it comes to the power of barrier techniques, no one knows better than Shen Qiu.

The main villain of Kara no Kyoukai, Araya Sōren, is an expert in barrier techniques. Originally a monk, he was mediocre in magic, but he showed his talent in "barriers" when he was young.

The barrier technique "Six Paths Realm" that he created on his body not only has six different abilities such as strengthening the body, shockwave attacks, and chain binding, but also allows him to use them at any time.

She further mastered the art of barrier techniques, creating a pseudo-realistic barrier called the "Sixty-Fourth Floor of the Offering Hall." She was even able to fight on par with Shiki, who possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, demonstrating the power of barrier techniques.

"What I know is a barrier spell called [Black Moon Temple]. After this barrier spell is completed, the place under the spell will be transformed into a strange subspace, free from the interference of the real world, completely sealing off time and space. All time within the space will be under my control."

"Furthermore, the magic in the place where the spell is cast will only serve those I approve of, and all avenues for obtaining magic in that place will be cut off."

The black-haired girl remained as emotionless as ever.

"If we had that ability, we probably wouldn't have to worry about that old bug escaping anymore."

Master took a sip of his cappuccino and said leisurely, "This is indeed an ability that's like a bug, but such a powerful technique must have some flaws."

What are the weaknesses of this barrier spell?

After hearing what Dankalabi said, Shen Qiu frowned and asked.

“I need a lot of time to create this barrier, and it also depends on the location of the person being affected. For example, if it's a place as big as the café in front of me, it might take me most of the day to create it.”

"If it were the hotel I went to before, I would probably need a whole day to create the barrier. The larger the area to be affected, the more time and effort I would need to put in."

"This is really troublesome..."

Although he understood that such a technique could not be without flaws, time was of the most important thing to him right now. First of all, it would take a lot of time for Dankalabi to find the old bug's hiding place, and setting up a barrier would waste even more time.

Furthermore, what if Zouken escapes when the barrier is set up? Or what if his hiding place is too large? This barrier technique is indeed very powerful, but it has too many requirements and constraints when used, making it difficult to put into actual combat.

"This is so troublesome. If only such barrier spells could be used anywhere..."

"Wait, use it anywhere? Araya Souren's Human Body Barrier Technique?"

Suddenly, Shen Qiu felt enlightened. Why did he insist on having Dankalabi set up a ground-based barrier? Araya Sōren had set up the barrier technique on himself, so that he could use it anywhere.

Although the power is not as great as before after doing this, the advantage is that it is convenient. However, if we do this, then new problems will arise.

"A barrier is something that separates the inside from the outside; in order to create a world that is complete in itself, one must first complete oneself." Araya Sōren perfected himself over a long period of time, which is how he was able to create the Six Paths Realm. He himself certainly could not reach that realm.

"No matter what, it's worth a try." Shen Qiu secretly made up her mind.

P.S.: I've realized that even though I ask for flowers every day, hardly anyone sends them. I'm so sad, sob sob sob.

Chapter 57: The Feasibility of Human Body Barriers

"Setting up a barrier on the human body? I've never done anything like that before, so I can't guarantee it will be successful, and even if it is, I don't know what the effects will be."

After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Dankalabi's perpetually snow-covered expression finally showed a hint of reaction. It seemed that Shen Qiu's words had indeed shocked her. After all, the human body is a very fragile thing, and doing anything on it would be very dangerous.
