The girl frowned slightly, then turned to Su Wei and suggested:

"Senior, how about we try to conceptually separate the black mud from the Holy Grail's magic using the Yamato?"

"Hmm. Or... why not just call Ayanokouji back and have him use the time stop function of [World] to go in and forcibly take the orb back?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wei shook his head noncommittally.

"No need for that."

"Let the phoenix try it out for itself first, after all, that's what it has always wanted to find."

"If it can't handle it and gets trapped in the black mud, I can use the Yamato to cut open space and rescue it."

Having received permission from Suwei, the phoenix, which had been unable to contain itself any longer, immediately raised its head and let out a long cry!

"Wow—!"

Immediately, it spread its wings, burning with pure flames, and transformed into a streak of light, rushing headlong into the Holy Grail Cave.

Under the watchful eyes of Amasawa Ichika, Sakayanagi Arisu, and others.

The phoenix did not plunge directly into the magical vortex, but instead gracefully hovered above it.

As its wings trembled, countless golden feathers fluttered down, some of them merging into the murky vortex of magic in the Holy Grail.

next second.

The azure pearl, which had been wrapped and pulled by the black mud and seemed to have fallen into a state of death, seemed to have received some kind of guidance.

It completely ignored the viscous pull of the black mud, which was enough to corrupt heroic spirits, and forcefully broke through the shackles of the Holy Grail's magical vortex!

With a "whoosh".

The pearl landed on the phoenix's broad right wing.

The remaining black mud on its surface, which was trying to continue to erode, was instantly burned and purified the moment it came into contact with the sacred fire burning on the surface of the phoenix, just like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

Su Wei watched this scene and sighed in surprise:

"I originally thought it would require some extra effort and trouble..."

"I didn't expect it to be solved so easily."

Shiina Hiyori, who was standing to the side holding the "Whispering Scroll," witnessed all of this and explained in a soft voice:

"Actually, that's only natural, Su Weijun."

"These black muds are essentially the embodiment of 'all the evils of this world' in the concept of human sin."

"Although they have now lost the source of replenishment from Hercules, their nature as a concept of evil has not changed."

"However... the phoenix may be similar to a fantasy species, and it itself has conceptually restrained these filthy things."

Upon hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Hehe... After all, it was certified by the system as the 'strongest' existence in that mirror world."

"If it's so easy for a mere bit of black mud to corrupt its mind, then we shouldn't have too high expectations for its complete form."

She seemed to understand the hint of probing and disdain in Sakayanagi Arisu's words.

The phoenix, hovering in mid-air, flapped its wings somewhat unhappily, as if in protest.

Seeing this, Su Wei reached out his hand with amusement.

He gently stroked the phoenix's feathers to soothe it.

Then, he turned to the girls beside him and announced in a relaxed tone:

"The kills from Alcides and Ishtar are now on my list."

"I won't get involved in the cleanup work. You can distribute the remaining Servant points as you see fit."

Upon hearing this, Tianze Yixia stroked her chin and quickly calculated:

"That's true. With your current resources, senior, you should have enough points to upgrade the [Beta Box] back to its original version long ago, right?"

"In that case, there's really no need to waste time on these measly points. Our top priority right now... is to find the elusive 'mysterious merchant'!"

Upon hearing Amasawa Ichika's suggestion, Shiina Hiyori immediately stepped forward and volunteered:

"Then... how about I go with Su Weijun to look in the back room?"

The girl raised the angel in her hand with full confidence: "With the omniscient and omnipotent attribute of the [Whispering Tome], we can save a lot of meaningless search time."

Su Wei hesitated for a moment, but did not agree immediately.

He looked at Shiina Hiyori and said with a hint of hesitation:

"Going together is fine."

"However... the Holy Grail War is not completely over yet, and not many Masters and Servants from all sides have been taken offline."

"Without Hiyori's intelligence support, if something unexpected happens to them during the clearing operation, such as being ambushed by Servants or being tricked by magicians... that would be very bad."

Shiina Hiyori smiled and shook her head, then opened the book in her hands and explained to Su Wei the overall intelligence she had just gathered:

"Don't worry too much, Su Wei."
