Zhou Ke'er was instantly enveloped by the familiar thick fog. A moment later, she found herself seemingly transformed into countless fluorescent particles dancing in the air, spinning and coalescing together under some mysterious pulling force, gradually forming a human shape.

A short while later, Zhou Ke'er appeared completely intact on the rooftop where the opening animation had just begun.

Looking at the slightly shocked young man before her, Zhou Ke'er coughed twice, feigning seriousness: "Ahem, you're my..."

Halfway through her sentence, Zhou Ke'er realized that her own voice was that of a slutty, womanly voice, and then she remembered that she still had three more punishments left in the game for being female, and this was the third one.

So Zhou Ke'er quickly corrected herself, saying, "Oh no, you're my master!"

As she spoke, Zhou Ke'er glanced around and spotted a full-length mirror, which seemed to have been specially prepared for him.

Zhou Ke'er carefully observed her current appearance. She was wearing an exquisite light purple lace mage robe, but it wasn't long, just reaching her knees, revealing her slender calves clad in black stockings.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is the barely concealed evil... ah, no, it's Zhou Ke'er's exquisite appearance. Her wine-red, wavy hair cascaded lazily down her sides, and a small beauty mark adorned her charming face, making her even more captivating.

Zhou Ke'er said that this is totally her type! She's definitely going for it!

"You...you are...?"

The boy stared blankly at Zhou Ke'er for a while, seemingly unable to think of any heroic spirit whose appearance matched that of the woman in front of him, before finally asking a question.

"I am your servant, Master~"

Zhou Ke'er lightly touched her lips with her fingertip, tilted her head slightly, and feigned innocence. "You can give me any order you want~ Any order~"

Ugh, of course, after Zhou Ke'er finished speaking, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with her toes. She had never felt embarrassed when she saw Lin Wen doing this every day before, but now that she had experienced it herself, she really found it... to be truly disgusting and embarrassing. To be able to do such a thing so easily, Lin Wen really is shameless.

"But... what I'm asking is, who are you? Which heroic spirit from history are you?"

Upon seeing this, the boy blushed, quickly turned his head away, and stammered as he pressed for an answer.

## Chapter 281, Section 276: The Battle for Zhou Ke'er (Part 1)

"I?"

Zhou Ke'er stretched out her index finger and gently twirled the end of her hair, as if lost in thought, her eyes revealing a just-right touch of sadness: "Just a wisp of a ghost in the river of time, forgotten by everyone, not worth mentioning."

"However, if I don't know what kind of Heroic Spirit you are, I can't formulate a battle plan..."

The boy turned his head, glanced at Zhou Ke'er, and then looked away again.

"Do you still not understand something after seeing my clothes?"

Zhou Ke'er walked closer to the boy and whispered in his ear, "Or... is it that your attention wasn't on this at all, but rather on something you shouldn't be paying attention to?"

"Ah! This...I..."

The boy's face flushed crimson, and he stumbled back several steps, waving his hands frantically and stammering, "I, I didn't..."

"Okay, I was just kidding, don't be so hasty."

Zhou Ke'er chuckled, straightened up, took two steps back, and bowed slightly, saying, "My class is Caster, a mage. I am the Tear of the Stars."

"Hmm...a magician...so may I ask what your real name is...?"

The boy pondered for a moment, then pressed for more information.

"Oh dear, you should give your own name before asking someone else's name. That's basic etiquette, don't you think?"

Zhou Ke'er narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in return with a smile.

"Oh, right, my name is Shimizu Ken."

The boy realized what was happening and quickly replied, even using a respectful form of address due to Zhou Ke'er's pressure, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Me? What's my name...?"

Zhou Ke'er deliberately pretended to be deep in thought, then tilted her head, lightly tapped her head with one hand in a loose fist, and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Hey, I forgot."

"???"

The boy named Shimizu Ken began to wonder what kind of thing he had summoned. Although it's possible to use Command Seals to force Heroic Spirits to do something, using them to make his own Heroic Spirit state its name... is really a bit of a waste of its potential.

"Forgot? Forgot? What does that mean?"

Seeing Zhou Ke'er looking around as if nothing was wrong, as if she had no intention of explaining what was going on, Shimizu Ken finally couldn't help but ask again.

"Forgot is just forgetting, what's the point? Asking that is like someone saying 'It's my birthday' and you asking them 'why', it's really weird!"

Zhou Ke'er looked at Shimizu Ken with the kind of loving gaze one would give a child with intellectual disabilities. "Still don't understand? Let me explain it in more detail, using scientific terms: From the perspective of memorization, forgetting is the inability or incorrect retrieval of memorized content under certain conditions. From the perspective of information processing, forgetting is the inability or incorrect retrieval of information."

So, when I said I forgot my name, I meant that in my current situation, I cannot retrieve information defined as a "name" from my consciousness. Do you understand now?

"???"

Ken Shimizu became increasingly certain that the guy he had summoned was either deliberately teasing him or definitely had something wrong with his head. Wait, speaking of which... do Heroic Spirits even have brains?

"Hey, nobody wants this to happen! The most important thing in life is to be happy. How about I cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Zhou Ke'er spread her hands and shrugged with an innocent look, deliberately using a TVB-style dubbed tone to comfort her.

"??"

Ken Shimizu slowly typed out two question marks. He understood; the heroic spirit he had summoned... this kid, who knows, might be good for frying.

"Bang! Bang!"

Just then, a loud explosion was heard from a nearby building, and it sounded like it was approaching them.

"So fast? I was only just summoned, and the other Servants have already discovered us? Could I be the last one to be summoned?"

Zhou Ke'er narrowed her eyes upon hearing the sound, temporarily stopping her teasing of Shimizu Ken, and looked toward the source of the sound.

However, this city seems a bit strange. Despite such a huge commotion and a massive explosion, not a single person managed to escape. Surely they couldn't all have been killed instantly? Besides, even if no one escaped, there should have been screams, right? But there were none. This is very abnormal.

"No...not another servant. Or rather, it would be better if it were another servant."

Ken Shimizu shook his head. "This is a [Void Beast], a strange beast that has taken over this city... It looks like there's only one. Although I don't know your real name, you should be able to handle a Void Beast of this level, right?"

"It should be fine, but... if we use up too much magic energy now, it'll be bad if we run into other Servants later. Should we run away first?"

Zhou Ke'er made a suggestion that came from her heart.

After all... although he has a magic book, the problem is that he can only use skills with it. Once the skills are on cooldown or he runs out of mana... he can't use basic attacks!

Other Servants use a bunch of basic attacks followed by skills, but Zhou Ke'er doesn't even have a basic attack after using her skills. Isn't that just asking for death?

However, despite saying that, the problem was that the monster called the Void Beast was unexpectedly fast, and soon closed to a distance that Zhou Ke'er and Shimizu Ken could hardly escape.

There was no other way, so Zhou Ke'er had to deal with it first.

Zhou Ke'er casually flipped open the spellbook, estimating how long it would take for the monster to arrive while quickly glancing at the ten spells displayed on it.

Well, these spells all consume a lot of energy.

Most importantly, due to the realistic damage calculation in this game and the fact that stamina is not quantified, the descriptions of these attack skills do not specify the range of damage amounts.

For example, the damage from a meteor shower and an ice spike is not simply a matter of being hit by the aftershocks of a meteor shower versus being pierced through the heart by an ice spike. The damage of these two cannot be compared by simply looking at the damage of the skills themselves.

"【Magic Shield】, 【Precise Control】, 【Positioning Fixation】."

Zhou Ke'er first cast several buffs on herself, then stretched out her right hand, opened her palm, and aimed at the monster that rushed out of the smoke from the collapsed house. She suddenly mobilized a small amount of spiritual power in her body and used the same move she used to deal with Long Aotian in the previous module.

Yes, Zhou Ke'er manipulated her limited spiritual power to deflect all the electrons in the atoms of the entire space along the path that the monster in front of her was bound to take!

In this way, all the matter in that space would become positively charged, and then, due to the principle that like charges repel each other...

That time, Zhou Ke'er was also sent flying due to the mutual repulsion, but this time, because she had put a shield and a solidification buff on herself, Zhou Ke'er did not move at all, and the same was true for Shimizu Ken standing behind her.

While repelling the monster and pinning it to the ground, Zhou Ke'er used the skill from the magic book again.

"【Magic Piercing Cannon - Charge】!"

A rapidly growing ball of light appeared in Zhou Ke'er's right palm.

The reason I didn't use it directly before was because this skill requires charging up. By the time it was fully charged, I would have already been knocked away by the monster. So I could only use repulsion to suppress it first.

## Chapter 282, Section 277: The Battle for Zhou Ke'er (Part Two)

Before long, the ball of light in Zhou Ke'er's palm had expanded to the appropriate size, and then a beam of fluorescent blue light mixed with orange light shot out from it. The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by the heat, giving people a very hot feeling.

Before the monster could even get up from the ground, it was struck hard by the beam of light. The spot that was hit vanished without a trace, as if water vapor had evaporated.

Immediately afterwards, orange-red flames appeared at the edges of the vanished parts, attached to the wounds, and quickly spread to the monster's entire body.

In just a few breaths, the monster was reduced to ashes. Not only the monster, but also the ground, buildings, and other places hit by the beam of light either disappeared or left indelible and very noticeable marks.

The power was indeed astonishing. Zhou Ke'er felt that if the opponent were the same Long Aotian from before, this shot might have either killed him or crippled him.

However... while the power was immense, the consumption was equally great. Just this one combo, a few buffs plus a magic cannon, had completely depleted Zhou Ke'er's innate spiritual power, and she only had 300 magic energy stored in her spellbook left.

The damage was way too much; it was practically a waste. But the main reason was that the initial refresh was a spell, and there weren't any attack spells with suitable power, so this was the only option for now.

"Phew... not even a trace left, he should be completely dead now, right?"

Zhou Ke'er breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Shimizu Ken. "You better explain to me what these things are... and what's wrong with this city. And... why did you just say you weren't worried if it were other Servants? Other Servants can't be weaker than this monster, right?"

"Ah... um."
