The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Go." After Wang Chong asked him to leave, he walked out of the Matou family again.

……

It was already evening, the sun almost setting. Normally, Wang Chong would have been ensconced in the Matou household by this time. However, he had just received a commission from Semiramis, who wanted him to choose a suitable location in Fuyuki City to place a magic barrier so she could hide and create a hanging garden. Wang Chong considered the most suitable location and concluded that Enzo Mountain was the best place. His power of destruction would be most easily mobilized there, and his strength would be at its strongest there.

In this way, even if the Empress's Sky Garden was discovered in advance, she would be able to stop the invading heroes.

"I'm feeling a bit hungry... Let's go to that ramen shop I usually go to." Wang Chong made his way to the Tonkotsu Ramen Shop where he usually had supper. But as he approached the sign, he heard a very panicked girl's voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Boss, I really did leave my wallet in the room. I'm not trying to default on the debt. How about I leave my important things here as a cushion, and come back to redeem them once I get the money?"

The girl kept apologizing.

"Hmm? Isn't this Leticia? How could this be such a coincidence?" Wang Chong frowned. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he was too close now. If he left rashly, he was afraid that Jeanne d'Arc in Leticia's body would notice him. So he sighed and walked forward and said, "Boss, I'll pay for her. Also, give me a big bowl of tonkotsu ramen as usual."

"Eh? It's you! What a coincidence, your name is... your name is..." Leticia frowned and thought hard, but couldn't remember the name.

"Don't think about it, I haven't told you my name yet." Wang Chong said.

"Oh! Yes, I forgot to introduce myself myself." Letitia said with a hint of apology, "My name is Letitia. Hello, sir, we meet again. I didn't expect you to help me with the advance payment. What's your name?"

"I'm the fourth child in my family, so everyone usually likes to call me Silang." Wang Chong didn't tell the other party his real name, but directly used the name of a certain Tiancao. Anyway, he already had someone else's script, so he might as well use it.

"Okay, Mr. Shiro, um, could you please wait for me for a while? I'll go back to my room and get my wallet. I'll return the money to you." Leticia said.

"No, don't bother going back." Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"That's impossible. How can I let you pay for nothing?" Leticia shook her head and said firmly.

"I don't know how long it will take you to go back and forth. I'm also very busy and can't wait for you here all the time," said Wang Chong.

"This..." Leticia seemed very embarrassed. She was taught from childhood that one must repay a favor, and she couldn't accept help from others for nothing.

"Well, do you believe in fate?"

"fate?"

"Look, we met twice today, and each time you came to me for help. Maybe we will have the chance to meet again in the future. When that time comes, how about you pay me back the money I paid for you today?" Wang Chong said.

"Haha, what Mr. Shilang said is very interesting. Okay, then I understand." Leticia was obviously convinced by Wang Chong's words and nodded.

For a moment, the two of them unconsciously started chatting again, basically talking about things related to their own lives and the culture and beliefs of different countries. The two of them chatted very harmoniously.

Soon, Wang Chong finished his ramen and prepared to walk towards Yuanzang Mountain. Surprisingly, Leticia was also walking towards Yuanzang Mountain.

"Are you also heading towards Yuanzang Mountain?" Wang Chong asked doubtfully.

"Yes, the place where I live is Ryudo Temple in Enzo Mountain. I just arrived here today and was looking for rentals, and then I found Ryudo Temple. The abbot is quite nice, the price is very cheap, and he even supports daily payments. So I'm staying there temporarily." said Leticia.

"You are a church believer, and a girl at that, and you go to live in someone else's temple. This is weird no matter how you think about it, right?" Wang Chong couldn't help but complain.

Testimonials

It will be on the shelves in just over half a month. I don’t know what to say in terms of gratitude. It is mainly due to the hard work and support of my readers that I have finally reached this point. First of all, I would like to say thank you to all the readers who support me~(｀?ω??) Thank you for your support and contribution.

This book is a rare attempt by the author Jun to write a Type-Moon work. It's my first time writing about Type-Moon, so I'm actually quite worried about conflicts and problems with the settings. After all, I'm not a pure Moon person, and some things and settings have been forgotten a long time ago. Not to mention the damn mushrooms that eat the book all the time! (▼ヘ▼#)

So if the setting doesn't match the original official setting, please forgive me if there are any discrepancies. As long as it makes sense logically, it's fine. If it doesn't, just treat it as a parallel world, hahaha...

Also, the script of the last few chapters may be too slow, perhaps because there are too many characters. This is also a bad habit of the author. The pace tends to slow down when there are too many characters. In this fast-paced novel era, I also know that people don’t like to read too many excessive dialogues. The author will pay attention to this aspect in the future and try to speed up the pace as we enter the Holy Grail War and the road to beauty.

After finishing the Fourth World War, I might write about other worlds, after all, it is labeled as a comprehensive anime. I will still write about Type-Moon later, after all, there are still many Type-Moon worlds. If I don't mention anything else, I will definitely write about the FGO world line. After all, the author really likes the plot of FGO 1.0.

That's all for the release of the book. If you have anything else to say to the author, please leave it in the comments or in the thread. The author will see it. See you tomorrow when the book is released. I hope you can give the author more coins, monthly tickets, and rewards. Remember to support me~(^▽^)~

Chapter 39: Sudden Assassination

Hearing Wang Chong's complaints, Leticia seemed to realize this as well. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "Because I don't have much money...so...I haven't considered it too much. I was also planning on finding a part-time job here."

"Ms. Leticia, are you here to travel or for some other purpose? Why are you going abroad to work? Could it be..." Wang Chong asked knowingly.

"I... I'm not an illegal immigrant. I have the proper entry procedures. It's just that I didn't bring enough money..." Leticia explained in a panic.

"Okay, I don't have any doubts about this. I'm just worried that as a girl, you might run into danger when you go out. Especially in an unfamiliar environment, don't try to save money when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although the world is better than the war years, there are still some evil spirits hiding in the shadows. If you save money, you will often suffer losses in other places. Take my advice, and stay in a regular hotel tonight. If you don't have enough money, I can also advance it." Wang Chong said.

"This...how can I do this? I've already asked you, Mr. Shiro, to pay for the meal. The host doesn't look like a bad person to me, so let's not use it." Leticia quickly refused.

"It's okay. You've already said that you already owe a sum, so you don't mind paying a little more. Even if there's nothing wrong with the abbot of Liudong Temple, I remember that Liudong Temple is quite far from the city. It's basically quiet and deserted, and it's easy to get into trouble when walking at night. It's also very inconvenient for you to go back and forth to work." Wang Chong said.

"This..." Leticia was a little embarrassed.

"How about this, since we're both on our way, I'll just take you to Liudong Temple first. If you're accompanied by a local, I believe no one will pay attention to you." Wang Chong saw that Leticia was a little resistant, so he didn't insist anymore, but went along with it and said.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Shiro." Leticia said gratefully.

Wang Chong nodded and continued walking towards Mount Enzo. Wang Chong had previously wanted Leticia to move away from Ryudo Temple because he intended to establish a magical barrier near Mount Enzo and have Semiramis build a hanging garden within it. However, if Leticia, possessed by Jeanne d'Arc, lived nearby, she would likely be aware of any activity Semiramis was causing.

And it wasn't just Semiramis who was in trouble. Jeanne might even discover what was brewing within the Greater Grail, completely disrupting her plans.

It just seems that Leticia seems to have her own ideas. I don’t know if she is wary of me or has some other reason, so she doesn’t plan to move out.

"Forget it. If she still doesn't change her mind when we get to Yuanzang Mountain, then it seems I have no choice but to use force this time." Wang Chong planned to wait until he got to Yuanzang Mountain and forcibly use the power of destruction in the earth veins and the Holy Grail to force Leticia to become black in order to prevent future troubles.

However, Wang Chong didn't know that he and Leticia had been secretly watched by a mysterious person. He was hiding his presence and concealing his presence as he followed them.

……

Arriving at Yuanzang Mountain and heading towards Ryudo Temple, Wang Chong gazed at the long staircase, and his mind conjured up a vision of the gatekeeper, Kojiro. Speaking of which, how did those heroic spirits fight so fiercely at the entrance to Ryudo Temple at night without waking the ordinary people inside? If I remember correctly, during the Fifth War, the black mud from the Holy Grail emerged from behind Ryudo Temple. How did those monks escape this catastrophe?

Don't ask, it's a gas explosion.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shiro." Because nothing unusual happened along the way, and he indeed sent her safely to the gate of Ryudo Temple, Leticia successfully let go of her vigilance. It seemed that the other party was indeed a very kind-hearted person.

"Then you go in and have a good rest first. I still have to go to the back mountain." Wang Chong said.

"Eh? Mr. Shiro, what are you doing in the back mountain so late?" Leticia asked curiously.

"At night, the back mountain of Yuanzang Mountain is a very rare scenery. Far away from the city lights, you can see a sky full of stars hanging in the sky, which is very beautiful. This is a scenery that you can't see in the city." Wang Chong pointed in the direction of the back mountain and said.

"Huh? Really? Then can I go and see it together?" Leticia said excitedly.

"If you want to go and see, you can do so anytime. But if you come with me, aren't you afraid that I'll kidnap you in the back mountain?" Wang Chong threatened deliberately.

"Haha, Mr. Shiro, don't scare me anymore. If Mr. Shiro has this idea, there are plenty of opportunities along the way."

"Maybe the back mountain is close to my secret base?"

"Then I'd like to see what your secret base looks like, Mr. Shiro~" Leticia said with a smile.

Wang Chong nodded and led Leticia toward the back of the mountain. Wang Chong used his [Eye of Evil] and, as expected, gained Leticia's trust. Her favorability now exceeded 40, transforming their relationship from strangers to friendly. This was why Leticia was willing to follow him toward the back of the mountain.

Unfortunately, he was afraid he would have to let down this good impression. After all, Wang Chong was telling the truth: the back mountain was indeed his secret base, and he did intend to attack Leticia and Jeanne d'Arc from there, provided he had sufficient power to destroy her.

"I hope the other masters here don't get to know about this." Wang Chong thought to himself, "System, spend points to buy experience points and activate all my skills."

"Ding—You spent 1500 Villain Points to purchase 1500 experience points, unlocking the following skills: Ruined King Sword (Sword Move) Level 1, Soul-piercing Pain Level 1, and King's Decree Level 1."

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the full set of skills of the Ruined King Viego and obtaining the title aura: [Pain! Too much pain!] The aura effect: every time you shout out the Ruined King Viego's classic quotes, the pain caused by your attacks will be doubled."

"The pain is doubled, right? Good stuff. But the quotations and stuff, aren't they a bit too embarrassing?" Wang Chong complained.

"Oh!" An exclamation brought Wang Chong back to reality. A closer look revealed they had reached the edge of the cliffs behind the mountain. A sky filled with stars seemed to hang overhead. Leticia looked up at the vast starry sky, which resembled a vast, inky blue ocean. The stars, like shimmering pearls, quietly fell across the sky, illuminating the stillness of the night.

Leticia twirled in circles, her golden hair and braids dancing with her movements. Starlight streamed down, illuminating Leticia with a silvery glow, a brilliant and divine quality. Her sweet laughter had Wang Chong lost in thought.

"Mr. Shiro, this place is indeed beautiful. Now I don't want to move out of Liudong Temple anymore. I can see such a beautiful scenery every night. Hehe, I won't miss such a good thing." Leticia stood on the edge of the cliff with her back to Wang Chong, raising her hands as if to touch the stars in the sky.

"Be careful, don't fall," Wang Chong said gently as he quietly approached. Leticia's joke reassured Wang Chong, who had been lost in thought, that he was ready to make his plan.

"I'm sorry." Wang Chong gradually approached the other party, preparing to raise his hand to activate the power of destruction under the earth veins, ready to take down Leticia.

"boom!!"

"puff!!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the flesh. Hearing this strange sound, Leticia turned around in fear, and then saw a bloody hole in Wang Chong's body. Wang Chong's face was full of pain, and he shouted to Leticia, "Run!"

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Several more gunshots were heard, as if they had no intention of letting the other party go. Several bloody holes appeared on Wang Chong's body. Since Wang Chong was also standing on the edge of the cliff, he could no longer maintain his balance after being shot several times and fell directly off the cliff.

"Mr. Shiro!!!" Everything happened so fast that Leticia didn't have time to grab Wang Chong's hand as he fell.

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, and Leticia looked up and saw a faceless figure wearing a red hood rushing towards her. A sense of life and death crisis crept into Leticia's heart.

"Leticia! Give your body to me!" At this time, the voice of the saint sounded in his mind.

"Please! Lady Saint! Save Mr. Shiro!" Leticia immediately gave up control of her body and handed it over to the saint who possessed her body.

A golden light emanated from Leticia's body, causing the figure rushing towards her to stop and look warily at the girl emitting the golden light.

Chapter 40: Disguise

The golden light quickly dissipated. Leticia, who had been wearing ordinary clothes, was now clad in silver-white light armor, a sword hanging from her waist, and holding a holy flag. She then pointed the tip of the spear on the holy flag at the faceless mysterious man and shouted, "Servant Ruler. You have the aura of a Heroic Spirit. Who are you? Why are you so cruel to ordinary people?"

This is none other than Joan of Arc of the Ruler class. After discovering that Leticia was in danger, she immediately took control of this body to deal with the current crisis.

However, in response to Joan of Arc's words, the other party did not say anything. Instead, he drew out a knife and then disappeared from Joan of Arc's sight.

"Blocking the breath... Assassin? If you think you can launch a sneak attack like this, you are totally wrong!" Joan of Arc waved the flagpole in her hand and pointed the tip of the gun in a certain direction.

"Ding--!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out immediately. And in the previously empty place, a figure twisted and appeared. The Servant who had disappeared before was now holding the knife he had just drawn, clashing with the tip of Jeanne's spear in a stalemate.

"You won't answer my question? Fine! Then I'll see for myself! True Name Recognition—!!!" Jeanne was about to use her class skill to see through the opponent's true identity, but the opponent immediately took a step back and fired at her continuously. A volley of bullets came down, leaving Jeanne with no choice but to spin the flagpole to shoot down all the bullets.

However, the unknown Servant used the cover to retreat, disappearing from Jeanne's sight in the blink of an eye. Jeanne wanted to chase after him and use her [Divine Judgment] class skill to forcibly restrain the Servant, but thinking of Wang Chong falling off the cliff, she gave up the pursuit and chose to jump off the cliff to find Wang Chong.

Although hope is very slim, at least we can't give up, Jeanne thought.

……

Somewhere in the ravine, Wang Chong used his own blood to create a Heroic Spirit Summoning Formation. He then lay aside and began releasing the divine aura of his [Goddess's Favor B], waiting for someone to take the bait. As for the bullet he'd just taken, while it stung, it was nothing serious, quickly repaired by his own power of destruction.

"Host, what are you doing? With your spider sense and physical skills, those bullets can't break your defense at all. And why are you drawing the Heroic Spirit Summoning Array now?" The system asked curiously.

"Originally, I planned to use the power of destruction to forcibly control Joan of Arc, but now I have changed my mind." Wang Chong said.

"Change your mind?" the system asked curiously.

"Well, it's all thanks to Kiritsugu shooting me, otherwise I wouldn't have suddenly come up with such an idea." Wang Chong said.

"The one who just attacked was Kiritsugu? That's impossible. Didn't the news say he was still in Einzbern Castle in Germany?"

"No, this Kiritsugu is not that Kiritsugu. He's a masterless Servant sent by the Suppression Force specifically to kill me." Wang Chong shook his head and said, "Humph, I knew the Suppression Force wouldn't just keep Jeanne as a pawn. To completely eliminate me, the root cause, they even sent their own professional minions. But that's just as well. Let me take advantage of the Suppression Force's move."

"Screw rustle..."

The sound of swaying grass and trees could be heard, and at the same time, a woman's voice could be heard: "Strange, why is there an aura similar to that of a divine Servant down here? And the bloodstains also extend here. Could it be that Shilang-kun has encountered a new Servant?"

"It's hooked, time to close the net." At this moment, Wang Chong also released his black mist, but not too much. It only attached to his body, especially the original wounds. Then he controlled one of the ghosts to do something to himself.

"What are these black mists...!! Silang-kun! Who are you and what do you want to do to him!?" A delicate cry was rang out, and then a flagpole stabbed at the ghost that was stepping on him.

"Come in!" Wang Chong muttered silently, and the ghost merged into his body. The flagpole naturally pierced into the empty space.

"Silangjun, how are you?" An anxious voice sounded. Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, and the familiar face of Takeuchi appeared in his sight... cough cough, the familiar face of Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc helped Wang Chong up, began to check Wang Chong's physical condition, and prepared to inject magic power to try to repair Wang Chong's body.

"Huh? Those fatal wounds have healed! What's going on here... And why does Silangjun have the aura of a divine Servant?" Jeanne noticed something was amiss and examined it carefully. She noticed that the strange black mist had been emanating from Wang Chong's body. Furthermore, the wounds on Wang Chong's body were also covered in this black mist. It seemed that it was because of this black mist that Wang Chong was able to survive.

"This is... a Command Seal? Shiro is actually the Master of this Holy Grail War. I didn't notice it before because I was wearing gloves... But the Holy Grail War hasn't even officially begun, so why would a Servant attack another Master? And that Servant attacked me even after hearing my Ruler class announcement... Could this be the reason for my manifestation?" Jeanne then noticed Wang Chong's ungloved hand. The back of his hand was covered with a conspicuous red Command Seal, confirming his Master's identity. Jeanne recalled the events that had just occurred and began to assess them.

Wang Chong felt that it was almost time, so he began to flutter his eyelids, pretending to be awake.

"Silangjun, you're awake. How do you feel?" Seeing Wang Chong wake up, Joan of Arc seemed relieved and asked hurriedly.

"It hurts... What's going on with me? Leticia, how do you look?" Wang Chong said, pretending to be dizzy.

"Don't worry about me for now, Mr. Shiro, are you feeling better now? Is there anything wrong with your body?" Joan of Arc asked hurriedly.

"It hurts, but I don't think it's a serious problem. At least I won't die." Wang Chong panted, then as if he had thought of something, he said, "Where's the guy who fired the gun? Is he still nearby?"

"It has temporarily escaped. Don't worry, Mr. Shiro. With me here, there's no need to worry about him attacking." Jeanne breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Since you're fine, allow me to introduce myself. As you can see, I'm a little different from Leticia. My name is Jeanne, summoned by the Greater Holy Grail at the Ruler level. Since Mr. Wang Chong possesses the Command Seals, he should be familiar with the Holy Grail War, right?"

"Holy Grail War... Joan of Arc... Are you a Servant?" At this time, Wang Chong pretended to have thought of something and said immediately.

"Yes, I am a Servant, but there is a difference. I am a Servant born from Leticia. It's just that my will is temporarily dominated by Leticia. In times of danger, I will appear in Leticia's place. And after that, this body will be dominated by my will." Joan of Arc nodded.

"So, what happened to Shirou-kun? Why did you get assassinated by that other Servant? And how did your wounds heal? Why is there a Servant's aura in your body? What is the power of this black mist?"

After Jeanne finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had too many questions, so she added, "Don't worry, just answer them one by one. As the arbiter of the Holy Grail War, it is my duty to ensure its normal operation. Because what you have encountered and what has happened to you, Shirou-kun, is so strange, I want to investigate these matters thoroughly."
