A journey into an infinite dimension

There are three important factors that determine the quality of a servant in all aspects, namely land, fame, and the magic power of the master.

Land and fame refer to the fact that the closer to the land or cultural circle where the Servant takes place in the legend and the higher the fame, the stronger the Servant will be. The "strong" here means that the six-dimensional attributes, skills and treasures possessed will be closer to the description in the legend.

For example, Melusine. If she descended as a servant instead of her real body, then with her spiritual base of 'Fairy Knight Lancelot', as long as she could be summoned on British soil, her attributes would be closer to her current strength, and she might even have a chance to obtain the legendary Melusine's abilities because of her name 'Melusine'.

In other words, if Melusine had not descended in her true form, her six-dimensional attributes would definitely not be as high as they are now - speaking of which.

Jiaye suddenly remembered something, so he raised his head and asked Melusin.

"Mellucin, you're descending in your true form. Does that mean the attributes shown on the panel represent your ultimate strength? Of course, I'm not saying you're weak, I just think you should be able to be even stronger."

A Servant is a clone of the Heroic Spirit and only possesses a small part of the Heroic Spirit's power. Although Melusine's panel is already in the category of top-level Servant, Jiaye's intuition tells him that she should not be at this level.

"So Master thinks so highly of me. I'm so happy."

Melusin turned around and gave Jiaye a breathtakingly beautiful smile. It was obvious that she was very happy to be valued so much by Jiaye.

"The attributes on the panel are indeed not my full strength. Only when I return to my original form can I fully exert my strength."

"The original form?"

A piece of information flashed in his eyes again, and this time Jiaye's attention was focused on Melusin's remaining skills.

"Dragon Heart, Light Horizon, Dragon of the Horizon..."

After coming to his senses, Jiaye's expression suddenly became a little strange.

If that's true, then Melusin is really cute.

"What's wrong, Msater?"

Melusine tilted her head in confusion.

"Nothing. I'm just looking forward to how pleasant and exciting it would be to actually break the sound barrier in 0.3 seconds."

Jiaye smiled softly.

"Oh, Master, do you also like to enjoy the feeling of speed and passion in the vast sky?"

Hearing this, Melusin's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Because I haven't heard you mention it before, I thought you were afraid of this kind of high-speed flight that's out of your control, just like everyone else. Now it seems that Jiaye is indeed Jiaye, and he doesn't exist in the same realm as other humans."

Melusine was so excited that she even forgot to call out "Master". Seeing her eager expression, Jiaye suddenly had a very likely guess in his mind.

"Well, Melusine, we'll probably reach our destination soon. A short moment of high speed wouldn't be very satisfying, so let's experience that feeling together next time if we have the chance."

With a slight twitch of his lips, Jiaye said with a dry laugh.

"Okay, after we complete the mission, I'll take you for a walk in the sky, and then we'll go back to find Miss Hong and the others."

Looking at the bright smile blooming on her cute little face, Jia Ye had to silently swallow the words he wanted to say.

Although he also had a common male problem, he liked the thrill of speeding up and the feeling of the scenery quickly receding before his eyes. When he was in London in the past, he sometimes participated in some unofficial competitions under the pretext of relaxing. With the help of magic, he had experienced breaking the sound barrier before, but he had never experienced a speed that started at the speed of sound and had no upper limit, so it was normal for him to feel a little nervous.

But since Melusine is so happy, let her be. She won't die anyway... With the addition of rigidity, reinforcement and magic defense, there should be no problem.

Soon, the shadow of a town appeared hazily in Jiaye's "Heaven's Eye" and Melusin's vision in the slightly lighter rain.

Naturally, they also saw the thick black smoke emanating from the town, which even rain could not wash away, and the many flying dragons circling above the town.

"That must be the evil dragon summoned by Jeanne d'Arc."

Melusine casually glanced at the tragic scene in the town, her eyes calm, and then her eyes fell on the wyverns that had noticed their arrival and were gradually gathering in their direction.

"Master, these are the lowest level dragons. If necessary, I can force them to serve you."

"They're inconvenient to carry, and they're weak, but the materials they contain should be of good quality. Let them commit suicide."

There was also no fluctuation in Jia Ye's tone, as if the people who were about to die at his command were not living beings.

"Then choose a death that is worthy of your sub-dragon pride."

The golden pupils glared lightly, and the two-legged dragons with evil red light in their eyes stopped flying towards the two of them, and instead used their fangs and claws to attack the companions closest to them. For a moment, countless blood rain fell, and one dragon corpse after another fell from the sky. Thunder, roars and wails together formed a melody called betrayal.

Controlling the Tianhui Dragon to land below, Jia Ye looked at the town that had turned into ruins. With a thought, under the rain, the range covered by the magic power of the "Sky Eye" suddenly became wider and wider, until it covered the entire town.

If it weren't for Jiaye's extraordinary magic power and brain, his action would actually be no different from suicide.

There is no need to say much about how big a town is, and the magic power consumption of the "Sky Eye" will increase as the range expands. This is true even if Jiaye has mastered the "Sky Eye" to perfection. Similarly, the larger the coverage area, the more information can be detected, and the burden on the brain will also increase simultaneously.

To put it bluntly, if all the information reflected back to Jiaye's brain was transferred to a slightly more advanced computer at this moment, the CPU would explode due to overheating in an instant, and the consumption of magic power would be equivalent to releasing three large magic spells continuously - every second.

"There are no living people, and there are very few corpses. I don't know if they were eaten or have left."

After shrinking the coverage area, Jiaye turned his head and looked towards the north.

"I'm more inclined to the latter. There are many footprints at the northern exit, suggesting Gilles de Ray successfully forced the civilian population of Lyon to evacuate. However, this doesn't make sense. How could a group of ordinary people and soldiers successfully evacuate from a wyvern attack?"

"Come to think of it, Master, why did you come all the way here? You've already gathered the information, haven't you?"

Melusine suddenly asked.

As for whether Jiaye came to save the people of Lyon? This possibility had never appeared in Melusine's speculation from the beginning.

Because she understands him. Even though this is his future self, he is still him, and that will never change.

He has never been the kind of person who would do such thankless work, and of course, she is the same.

"After traveling so far, only to gather such a small amount of information is a bit of a loss."

Jiaye said calmly.

"Furthermore, the information available to ordinary soldiers is limited. As a marshal, Gilles de Rais likely knows more than ordinary soldiers, such as the details of Joan of Arc's resurrection, her current location, and the existence of the Holy Grail."

"Master, are you planning to charge directly into the enemy's base camp and end it once and for all?"

Melusin's eyes gradually began to glow with excitement.

She was confident that with her own strength, coupled with the assistance from Jiaye, no servant could stand in their way. She was not afraid of even those powerful servants from mythology.

"Although I have this idea, I can't take the risk. After all, the premise for a permanent solution is to fully understand the enemy's strength and intelligence."

As soon as he finished speaking, without any warning, Tianhuilong suddenly raised its thick tail to block behind Jiaye. At the same time, a spinning arrow broke through the rain curtain from a certain direction and shot towards Jiaye's head, but was bounced away by Tianhuilong's tail that was prepared in advance.

At the same time, Melusina's figure standing at the dragon's head suddenly turned into a shadow and disappeared, while her real body rushed to the location where the arrow was shot at lightning speed in the blink of an eye.

"go to hell."

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and the "Fairy Sword Arondette" was unsheathed. Melusine's figure accelerated again under the push of the magical wind pressure. The spiral airflow wrapped around the sword body, tearing through the rain. The sky-blue magic surrounded her body, making her figure like a dazzling meteor. In an instant, she shortened the distance of nearly 100 meters and arrived at the top floor of a church.

It was as if time had stopped. All these changes happened in an instant. The next moment, a meteor streaked across the sky, and the church, the most noble and tallest building in the town, which had been almost destroyed by the wyvern, was completely turned into history.

Chapter 21 Flame

Just before the church was completely destroyed, a figure rushed out from the top of the church and successfully landed safely on the ground at the moment Melusine's attack came.

Perhaps it wasn't safe, because what was waiting for her on the ground were the sharp claws of a giant wolf.

Bang! !

With superhuman reflexes, the moment his toes touched the ground, he took advantage of the momentum to flip over and leap, narrowly avoiding Fenrir's sharp claws.

However, as if unwilling to give her any chance to breathe, a dazzling flash suddenly appeared, and at the same time, the raindrops that kept dripping from the sky also gathered into water bullets and shot towards her.

"Tsk!"

A low gasp was heard, and the figure, who was forced to close his eyes, relied on the whistling in his ears and the directions in his memory to avoid each water bomb with astonishing speed, and then quickly rushed between the buildings, using the natural geography to conceal his body.

"it's useless."

Jiaye calmly 'looked' at the green-haired cat-eared girl who kept changing her position in the field of vision of the Sky Eye, and gently raised his hand.

The magic power was converted into telekinesis, and under Jiaye's manipulation, the building fragments accurately bypassed all obstacles and instantly approached the girl from the blind spot of her vision.

"?!"

The time chosen by Jiaye was perfect. It was exactly the moment when the girl had just changed her position and her old strength had gone but the new strength had not yet been generated.

In addition, she didn't notice it at first, and by the time the girl found out, the sharp wooden fragments were already in front of her.

In this unavoidable gap, the girl, Atalanta (Archer), only had time to turn her head as far as she could, so that the flying object that was supposed to be aimed at her eyes passed by her cheek instead.

A strong wind whistled past her ears, and a stinging sensation came over her. A bloody mark was scratched on her delicate skin, and blood flowed out, mixing with the rain and dripping onto the ground. The girl's sharp nails had already pressed against her fair and slender neck. Atalanta glanced at Melusine, who had come behind her at some point, without saying a word.

"A perfect first match."

Seeing this scene with his Heavenly Eye, Jia Ye smiled slightly.

"For me, this is also a perfect first collaboration."

Melusine smiled quietly.

"Archer, it seems that Witch Jeanne not only summoned a flying dragon, but also summoned a servant."

Jiaye jumped off the back of the Tianhui Dragon and landed in front of Atalanta who was controlled by Melusine. He glanced at the bow and arrow in her hand, then frowned and looked into her green eyes that were a combination of rationality and madness.

"Did they cast a berserk spell upon summoning? They didn't actually summon a Berserker class, but rather added the effects of berserk to the original class. Perhaps only the Holy Grail can do this."

After proposing the one-time use rights of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System: Destiny to Chaldea, Jiaye had studied the spells related to servant summoning for some time, so he was able to successfully summon Melusine with that spell that was almost a random gamble. Otherwise, if there was a mistake in the spell, the summoning would not be successful.

He also had some knowledge of the berserk spell, and he had even considered whether to specify Berserkers as servants who were irrational but powerful in attributes when summoning servants, because this would ensure the strength of the summoned servants.

However, he later considered that the irrational Berserker was not suitable for his and Red's tactics, and there was a possibility of summoning failure, so he did not implement it.

"It seems that we can't get any information from her."

Hearing this, Melusin frowned slightly.

They could have easily gotten rid of Atalanta because Jiaye had already discovered her lurking when he was observing the entire town. However, because he didn't know whether she was a friend or foe, and wanted to extract information from her, he waited until she attacked before taking action against her. This way, he could stand on the side that was right, and using this to coerce her or make a deal would be good options.

It’s a pity that since Atalanta has lost her mind due to frenzy, all the plans are out of the question.

"Seven... Riders..."

"Ok?"

Just when Jiaye was about to ask Melusine to send Atalanta back to Valhalla, unexpectedly, she suddenly spoke.

Although the voice was hoarse and stiff, as if it was extremely difficult to speak, the sound was indeed heard by Jiaye and Melusin.

"...The Seven... Riders...of the Holy... Grail...Servants...went...mad..."

Looking in surprise at the rationality in Atalanta's eyes gradually overcoming her madness, especially the information she revealed to them with great difficulty, an idea suddenly came to Jiaye's mind.

"Mellucin, prepare for the heat."

After giving Melusin a word of instruction, Jiaye saw a look of realization on her face and knew that she understood, so he took two steps back and slowly opened his eyes.

As Jia Ye opened his eyes, a new and familiar world emerged, and he was embedded in this world that had deviated from the original era and had been split apart.

The fine raindrops disappeared, and the air, which had become humid due to the rain, was replaced by dryness and even scorching heat again.

The ruins of the town disappeared, replaced by a plain burning with glazed flames; the gloomy dark clouds overhead were gone, replaced by a dreamy and brilliant starry sky, two full moons emitting bright light, and behind it, a huge and indescribable figure that became clearer and clearer under the light of the full moon, as if its specific appearance could be seen, but it was difficult to describe in words.

However, compared to the shock in Atalanta's eyes that even replaced the madness, Melusine's gaze was not on the magical scenery around her at this moment, but was completely attracted by the beautiful eyes in front of her.

What kind of eyes are those?

Clear, bright, dazzling, soft and calm.

It was as if the two full moons in the sky were just projections of his pupils, the stars in the sky were all hidden in his irises, and the glazed night sky was the white of his eyes.

A wisp of energy-like flame formed by the escaping magic power swayed gently above his eyes, as if there was a real flame burning in his flaming pupils.

Like light and like flame, this is the most appropriate description for the color of Jiaye's eyes.

This is the eye that Jia Ye keeps closed all year round, and it is also his magic eye.

The initial level is estimated to be "gem". There is no prototype or precedent for this Mystic Eye in this world. It is a truly unique Mystic Eye, and its name is - "Mystic Eye of Flame/Flame Night Eye"

The reason why Jia Ye has kept his eyes closed all this time is that he cannot control the activation of the Demon Eye. As long as he opens his eyes, the scenery in front of him will be replaced by the inherent barrier "Lapis Lazuli Fire Under the Stars and Moon". But in other words, once the Demon Eye is activated, Jia Ye no longer needs to close his eyes, because the scenery has been replaced. Even if he continues to open his eyes, the scenery will not be replaced again.

At the same time, this also means that he has obtained the qualification to activate the only one of Ru Yue's eight-level secret techniques that requires the use of eyes to activate - "Clairvoyance".

[By concentrating magic power on the eyes to increase their sensitivity, one can see through the flow of magic power. If practiced to the extreme, one can even see through walls and directly observe the flow of magic power in people inside buildings.]

This is the effect of "Clairvoyance". Although it is similar to "Heaven's Eye", the range of "Heaven's Eye" is wider, and the flow of magic power cannot be seen unless "Heaven's Eye" and "Clairvoyance" are used together. However, for Jiaye, he needs to close his eyes in daily life and has no chance to use "Clairvoyance" at all, except like now, when he directly activates the magic eye to create an environment where he doesn't need to close his eyes.

Of course, not having the opportunity to use it on a daily basis does not mean that Jiaye’s mastery of Clairvoyance is extremely low, because long before he had any problems with his eyes, he had already mastered all the secret techniques of the lower four levels, including Clairvoyance.

As for why Jiaye was willing to open his eyes and use Clairvoyance at this time, it was because he wanted to do an experiment.

As we all know, Servants are spirits composed entirely of magic power, and Clairvoyance is the 'eye' that can see through the flow of magic power. So when Clairvoyance encounters a Servant, can it use it to see through the Servant's true form and even its weaknesses, or even find the Servant's core, and then defeat it in the easiest way?

Jiaye didn’t know before, then Jiaye wasn’t interested, and now Jiaye knows.
