The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Oh? Tell me quickly if you have any good ideas. I can't maintain my time stop any more." Wang Chong felt that the range of his movement in this time-stopped space was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that his time stop had reached its limit.

"First, the host must strive to survive. Even if his body is penetrated, he must rely on his original recovery ability to restore his body. Only in this way can the Elquet mechanism be triggered to judge that the host's strength is only so-so, and thus lock it back to the upper limit." said the system.

"Downgrade? I see." Wang Chong's eyes lit up. Since the time stop had lifted the upper limit of Elquit, he could use the beating to make Elquit's mechanism realize that it had excessive power and wasted it, thus relocking the upper limit.

After all, according to the mechanism, Elquet only needs to be one level stronger than the enemies she faces.

"Well, once Elquet downshifts again, the host will be able to subdue her," said the system.

"System, are you missing some steps? What do you mean by after Elquet is downgraded, I can subdue her? Even if Elquet returns to her original strength, she is still a level stronger than me?" Wang Chong frowned.

"Hehe, actually, host, the thing to deal with Elquet has always been in your hands. If the host can find it by himself, the reward for conquering Elquet this time can be an epic lottery and a random item jar. Of course, it doesn't matter if you let the system guide it out, but in this case, the host's evaluation will be lower, resulting in the inability to obtain these two rewards. It depends on what choice you make, host." The system reminded.

"The thing that can deal with Elquet is in my hands?" Wang Chong murmured softly. Before he could think about it, a sudden cracking sound was heard. The power of time stopping had finally reached its limit and could no longer be sustained. Time began to pass again, and Wang Chong immediately took a defensive stance.

"boom!"

"Pfft!"

Intense pain spread throughout his body. This time, it was Wang Chong who crashed into the mountain and created a big hole. He was grabbed by the face and pressed into the hole, almost triggering his golden body effect.

Wang Chong felt his head spin, and then the sound of continuous blows echoed. Bones shattered, flesh crumbled. The pain he had just inflicted on Elquet was now fully reflected back upon him. The pain that pierced his soul, the fear and trembling of impending death, was like the heavens declaring the fate of a damned villain.

"This time... it was... really... pathetic." This was the first time Wang Chong felt so close to death. It was like when he first came to this world and saw the severed body. The fear of death was awakened once again, completely filling his heart.

"Pfft...hahahaha...hahahaha!" But for some reason, Wang Chong couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. He wanted to laugh, he couldn't help but want to laugh, as if some long-suppressed emotions had returned to reality this time, and this time they were completely stimulated.

"Hahahaha, I'm actually afraid of pain and death, hahahaha... As expected, everything has been going smoothly for too long, paralyzed for so long, that I thought I'd lost all these things, no longer fearful, no longer terrified. No... It's better to say that I've always been in fear, always afraid, and never felt at ease? Is that why this time's terror and fear filled my heart so much? This lesson of blood and pain was worth it!"

Even though fear filled his heart and pain pierced his soul, Wang Chong's mind seemed to be twisted, madness stained his eyes. At this moment, he met Elquet's equally frantic and excited eyes.

"I see...you too?"

The moment they met, Wang Chong seemed to understand something. His lips moved slightly, and he unconsciously uttered words. However, the words came out as only a "ho ho" sound. It turned out that his vocal cords had been damaged by the other party, and he could not make any sound at all.

But strangely, Elquet's hands, which had been frantically tearing flesh and breaking bones, suddenly stopped. She rested her hands on Wang Chong, her beautiful golden eyes, now completely restored to their original state, staring at him. Gradually, the corners of Elquet's mouth curved into a smile. At this moment, a full moon coincidentally hung above Elquet's head, its light falling on her blood-stained short golden hair, casting a silver glow.

One is that he has no idea what death is, and he exists like a monster in the monster called True Ancestor. He should not have any emotions, nor should he have anything extra. He is connected to everything in the world, yet he is isolated from it, sitting on top of the Millennium City, looking up at the moonlight and stars alone, and looking down at everything in the world.

One is a person who has just arrived in this strange world, wandering alone between the most familiar and the most unfamiliar. Though possessing a rich tapestry of emotions, they can only treat everything around them with a playful attitude. Madness and indifference have already quietly eroded their soul without them realizing it, and they rush forward alone.

To the world, they were two freaks, two madmen, two equally lonely people, and in this fight, they quietly vented their pain to each other.

Elquet stood up and didn't move. The madness in his eyes gradually faded. He waited quietly for Wang Chong to recover. As if worried that Wang Chong was recovering too slowly, he gently cut his other wrist and sprinkled the blood on Wang Chong.

"Ding—System upgrade, Elquet's favorability increased by 10 points, and the current favorability is 50."

"Ding - you have absorbed the blood of Elquet's true ancestor. Your true ancestor's blood has begun to evolve, your immortality has increased, your body's recovery has increased, and you have gained the ability of a light body." A series of system sounds sounded, which also meant that Elquet had stopped.

Although Wang Chong was temporarily unable to move, after shaking off the shadow of death and the pain, he slowly emerged from that strange state. A single question emerged in his mind: why had Elquet not killed him just now? Why would Elquet let him go now?

"Why?"

Wang Chong used his strong recovery ability to restore his vocal cords with some difficulty and asked the question in a hoarse voice.

"Why? I want to know, too." Elquet smiled, put one hand on his hip, and then spoke, "But compared to all this, should I call you Dio, or should I call you... Wang Chong?"

Chapter 234: Fight Bai Ji again!

After hearing Elquet's question, Wang Chong first did his best to heal his right arm, then touched his face. Hmm, the mask was still there. It seemed that even though his face was about to be broken, the skin had not fallen off.

"I don't know how you deceived my eyes and changed your appearance. But... the face can be deceiving, but the smell of blood cannot." Seeing Wang Chong touching his face, Elquet explained.

"So that's how it is. From the moment you injured me, you already knew who I was. No wonder... no wonder you didn't kill me in the end." Wang Chong said as if he had figured it out.

"Not only that, you actually made a mistake. Those True Ancestors, whether newly born or old, never addressed me as "Princess" or "Executioner." After all, in their eyes, I was merely a tool to punish the fallen True Ancestors."

"It's just that I was completely certain of this only when I pierced your body in the end. To be honest, I was very surprised. I was just suspicious at first, but I didn't expect that you and the Fallen True Ancestor were really the same person... Hmm? It seems that I didn't catch the wrong person. It seems that my intuition is still quite accurate." Elquet spoke to himself as if he had opened a box of chatter, without any of the madness and murderous intent he had just shown during the fight, and he said with a very happy look.

"But if that's the case, there's no such thing as a Fallen True Ancestor. The smell of blood can't deceive people. You've never sucked anyone's blood, and even the karma of killing you've committed is pitifully small. I don't have the reason to kill you because 'the Fallen True Ancestor must die,'" Elquet said.

"This one?" Wang Chong frowned. Could it be that Elquet had another reason to kill him?

"That's right. Originally, if you had just shown me the blood, I wouldn't have killed you. But you absolutely shouldn't have done that. Not only did you deceive me, you even beat me so badly. You don't really think I don't have anger and murderous intent, do you?" As soon as he finished speaking, Elquet's eyes flashed with the madness just a while ago, and then he said with a smile.

"So I decided to kill you once. Well, there's no need to kill you completely like I did with the Fallen True Ancestor. It will be enough for me to just destroy your body once." Elquet spoke as if he was talking about something very trivial, not like a joke at all.

"Then why did you...?"

"I don't know. Maybe I just took a liking to you. After all, I've always thought you were quite interesting, different from the other True Ancestors." Elquet smiled brightly and said,

"Well, now that you've almost recovered, I should take you back."

"Take me back? Back to where?" Wang Chong had originally thought that the matter was over. Since Elquet no longer wanted to kill him, there was no need to continue fighting. But Wang Chong didn't expect Elquet to suddenly ask to take him back? What did this mean?

"Of course, we should go back to where the True Ancestors should be, the Millennium City. Although you haven't committed the great sin of corruption, you have stirred up the turmoil in the world and caused quite bad influences. It is certain that you will be locked up for a period of time." Elquet said.

"You've caused such a commotion that not only destroyed a long-established magic family, but also caused a huge uproar in the mystical world. You must come back with me."

"No, you should know that I still have a battle to finish here." Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"Are you talking about this Holy Grail War? To be honest, this thing does have some interesting meaning. If you want to play with it secretly and don't let anyone know, then there is naturally no problem. But as I said just now, you have made too much trouble. Now you must go back with me." Elquet said with a frown.

"Not even a little bit of time or conditions allowed? No exceptions?"

"No," Elquet said firmly, "this is the rule. If you don't have the strength to break it, then don't waste your breath."

"...So in the end, I still have to defeat you before I can have the final say?" Wang Chong said.

"I suppose so. Now that you've experienced my power, do you still want to fight? Actually, I haven't even figured out your unique ability yet. If you want to continue—"

"boom!"

At this moment, Wang Chong instantly emerged from the pit. However, unlike the previous melee, he was now completely enveloped in black mist and equipped with the Blade of the Ruined King. Since his identity was already known to Elquet, there was no need to hide it any longer.

"Then let's fight! Sword of the Ruined King!" Wang Chong immediately swung the Blade of the Ruined King and slashed at Elquet.

"Hahahaha, well, if you just follow me obediently, I'll feel bored. Then let me - beat you until you can never recover, and then tie you up and take you back." Seeing this, Elquet was not angry, but was full of fighting spirit again, and went straight to meet him.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang——"

Crisp sounds echoed in succession. The previously invincible Blade of the Ruined King was now unable to effectively pierce even Elquet's skin. However, having just absorbed Elquet's blood, Wang Chong's physical fitness had improved considerably. Coupled with the sharp blade in hand, he was able to suppress Elquet for a short period of time.

But Wang Chong knew that this was not a long-term solution. After all, Elquet was like a BOSS with adaptive strength. She would always be numerically superior to you.

"Just because he's numerically stronger than me... doesn't mean he's superior in other areas, like skills. If that's the case... System, spend some points to buy skill points for me, and then upgrade my Ruined King skill!" Wang Chong recalled what the system had said before: the thing that could subdue Elquet had always been in his possession. It was his own items, or perhaps his own skills and abilities.

It was already known that any direct method of increasing one's strength would only make Elquet even more powerful. Since the path of "strength" was not feasible, why not try the path of "skill"?

This time, he had the opportunity to refine his newly improved strength, thoroughly integrate his skills, and further enhance his Ruined King Sword. After all, this skill was a technical advancement, not simply a boost in speed and strength.

"Ding - You have spent 5000 Villain Points and successfully upgraded the Ruined King's skill. The current skill level is 2. The next upgrade will cost 1 Villain Points. You currently have 4350 Villain Points remaining." The system prompts.

"System, can you double my points for the next level? 1 villain points, that's 10 consecutive draws." Wang Chong's breath was lost after seeing the message, and he was almost caught by Elquet.

"Host, my price is absolutely fair to everyone." The system explained.

Wang Chong was helpless. He had originally wanted to see if he could improve a few more skills, but now he could only hone his skills in actual combat. However, after the upgrade was completed, Wang Chong had a deeper understanding of the various moves of the Ruined King Sword. He wielded the sword as smoothly as if it were his arm.

After a long battle, Wang Chong's passive, Ruthless Combo, had been fully stacked once more, and he was gradually pushing Elquet back. Although his Royal Sword couldn't destroy Elquet's body, it could still easily shred his clothes.

However, Elquet, who had once again fallen into a frenzied fighting state, didn't seem to care at all. She only wanted to defeat Wang Chong as quickly as possible so that she could return and report.

"Feast, Kiss of Blood, Blood Transformation!" Wang Chong started working with both hands. One hand continued to wield the moves of the Ruined King's Sword, and the other hand used three vampire-related skills, also with claws. After successfully exposing Elquet's flaws with the Ruined King's Blade, he scratched Elquet's skin in one fell swoop, and even dyed his left hand red with the opponent's blood.

"Hahaha! That feels so good!" But at that moment, Elquet reached out and firmly grasped Wang Chong's left wrist, which had pierced his right shoulder. Then Elquet directly threw Wang Chong over his shoulder, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Ahem! Is the power gap still there?" Wang Chong took the blow head-on and fell to the ground. Seeing that Elquet was trying to capture him on the spot, Wang Chong did not choose to use the power of time stop at the critical moment. Instead, he stepped on Elquet's left hand as if it were a road and stepped on it to leave quickly.

Chapter 235: Capturing Bai Ji

Sky garden

When the light flashed, Irisviel felt that something was wrong. She wanted to get closer to Altria at the first moment, but then the next moment, her vision spun around and she found herself in a room that looked very ancient.

"Irisviel!" A familiar voice sounded from beside him, and it was Altria who appeared beside him, jogging.

"Saber, what on earth is going on here?" Looking at this strange room and the monster statues standing on the stone pillars, Irisviel couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"We should have been teleported away. And everyone should have been teleported to a different location. We should have been separated from the others. I don't know if we were lucky enough to appear together. Or at least the Master and the Servant appeared together." Artoria said.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the enemy is planning to defeat us one by one from the beginning. If we don't reunite with the others in time, we'll most likely be surrounded by multiple people. Right now, we have to act quickly and see if we can reunite with the others. What do you think, Ellie?"

Facing Altria's suggestion, Irisviel nodded and said, "Just be careful. I have a feeling this journey won't be very peaceful. Just like these stone statues, they always feel like living monsters, always giving me a sense of glimpse...!!"

"Be careful! Wind King Hammer!"

Artoria's intuition instantly sensed the danger, and without saying a word, she turned around and released the Wind King's barrier on the sword.

"ah--!"

Sharp cries rang out, and the monsters that were supposed to be on the stone pillars now spread their wings and fluttered to Altria's back. However, they were all overturned by the wind king's hammer.

"Hah--!" Artoria immediately took advantage of the victory and released her magic power, killing one gargoyle with one sword. After the fight was over, she took back the sword of victory.

"It seems that these are just some not-so-clever tricks of the monsters. But this does mean that the surrounding environment is full of dangers. Be careful, Irisviel. We have to move forward cautiously. Follow me closely." Altria walked to Irisviel's side and said.

"Hmm... I don't know how Miss Jeanne and Mr. Wang Chong are doing." Alice knew very well that the most important thing right now was to find Wang Chong and Jeanne as soon as possible.

Throughout the Hanging Gardens, the same story unfolded as it had for Irisviel and Altria. However, one unlucky pair was Tōsaka Tokiomi and Gilgamesh. While the others, whose Masters and Servants were close together, were essentially teleported to the same location, Tōsaka Tokiomi and Gilgamesh were so far apart that they were completely separate, each fighting their own battles.

Of course, there might be a deeper reason behind this...

……

Yuanzangshan

"Flash Sheath: Seven Nights." With lightning speed, Wang Chong dove directly behind Elquet. The blood-soaked blade in his left hand plunged downward into the back of Elquet's neck. With a whoosh, the knife slid through the air in a blood-red arc, and Wang Chong was already in front of Elquet.

"puff!"

"Ouch!" Wang Chong clutched his waist. Three bloody scratches were visible on his torn clothing. Elquet had seen through his speed just now. Even though he had injured the other party, the price he paid was even greater.

"It's a very interesting technique. The spider-like pace and the attack method that is specifically aimed at non-humans. But my speed is still faster." As if he was talking about something insignificant, Elquet shook the blood on his hands. As for the blood spurting out of the back of his neck, Elquet didn't care at all. After all, he would recover soon.

"Do you have any other powerful killing moves? We've seen them all two or three times before. If this is all you have, just come back with me." Elquet said, and then he charged forward once more, his murderous aura making him look as terrifying as a demon. Wang Chong took a deep breath, then manipulated the black mist and powerfully hurled the Blade of the Ruined King at Elquet, blocking his advance before charging forward again with Flash Step.

"Flash Sheath: Prison Sramana!"

As Elquet and the Blade of the Ruined King clashed, Wang Chong closed in and, without hesitation, unleashed the Seven Nights Assassination Technique's most powerful move. In an instant, everything around him slowed to a crawl before Wang Chong's eyes. He slowly raised his hand and swung the bloody blade toward his target, scattering blood everywhere. The famous blow, as if destined to happen, that severed the princess into seventeen pieces, happened in a flash!

“Swish, swish, swish, swish—”

"Ha... awesome." More than a dozen blood marks appeared on Elquet's body in an instant, and blood splattered out, forcing Elquet to sigh at the power of this move. Even though his strength and speed were a level higher, he could not keep up with the opponent's movements under the opponent's skill.

But that’s all.

"Wow - cough -" Wang Chong spat out a large amount of blood. A bloody hole was pierced through his abdomen. It would take at least a long time to recover, and this period of time was when Wang Chong was the weakest.

Elquet's recovery ability was far superior to Wang Chong's, and those bloodstains were merely flesh wounds. Without the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, it would be impossible to review the Type-Moon scene. However, even with the Mystic Eyes, facing Shirohime at night, even if Tohno Shiki leaned over, he couldn't cut Elquet's death line.

At night, Elquet is truly invincible.

"Alright, good boy, be good and go back." Feeling that the outcome was already decided, Elquet walked towards Wang Chong, wanting to completely capture Wang Chong who was already lying on the ground.

But at the moment when Elquet stretched out his hand, Wang Chong climbed up the rock in the direction of Elquet's claws like a dragon, and touched Elquet's back. He stretched out his hands from Elquet's armpits, and then used a set of grappling and throat-locking techniques to hold Elquet tightly. The two of them sat down on the ground. In order to prevent Elquet from using his feet for leverage, Wang Chong stretched out his left leg to suppress Elquet's left leg tightly.

In order to prevent his own strength from being insufficient, Wang Chong even released a large amount of black mist composed of the power of destruction to further block the movement of Elquet's body.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Their breathing blended together, their blood mingling with each other, just like their bodies now tightly clasped together, unable to separate for a moment. Incidentally, due to the prolonged hand-to-hand combat, their clothing could no longer withstand the fierce blows and tearing attacks of the two monsters, leaving little behind.

In a sense, if both of them were not bathed in each other's blood, to outsiders, this would be a rather erotic sight.

"Ahem... Hehe, hahaha, this is really interesting. How can there be a battle like this one? I've fought in weapon fights, clashed with magicians, and even had many hand-to-hand fights. But I've never been stuck like this. What is this? Originally, I was supposed to catch you, but now you catch me. Okay, you caught me, so what are you going to do next?" Elquet laughed, as if he didn't care about Wang Chong's struggle at all.

After all, in terms of recovery and upper limit, Elquet is always in a crushing position.

"Elquet is right... There's absolutely nothing I can do right now. The power of destruction can't brainwash me, and all my various moves are useless. Right now, it seems all I can do is hold on like this and buy time... Think about it, think carefully. Since the thing the system mentioned isn't one of my moves, then all I have left are those props. Are there any props that can help me deal with this situation?"

Taking advantage of the remaining time, Wang Chong needs to quickly find the props to win the comeback.

"Things...things...wait, could it be...?" Wang Chong's eyes suddenly flashed.

Chapter 236: One-Ball Superman

"Alright, stop dawdling. You don't really think this level of grappling can restrain me, do you?" At this point, Elquet also began to exert force, as if Wang Chong's grappling was just a joke in her eyes. And now, Elquet started to get serious.

"Crunch - crunch -"
