Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

but...

"What's happening here?"

He was just playing an indescribable game with Yusatis in a "dream" when he suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

It felt like death was coming.

A fear that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

"How could I possibly have this feeling?" Lin Jiu'an frowned uncomfortably.

As a "beast", it is already immortal and indestructible.

Even if the Crowned Ones were to kill Him, as long as humanity as a species and as long as the desire for depravity persists, He will one day be resurrected unless He voluntarily relinquishes His ruling power and status.

What humans call "death" is nothing more than a period of slumber for Him.

"Could it be that another beast has arrived?"

Lin Jiu'an's gaze fell on the ground, his eyes seemingly piercing through all obstacles to land on the great Holy Grail beneath the earth.

Nothing unusual.

However, sometimes it is abnormal to have nothing unusual, especially after that inexplicable feeling of palpitation. The only possibilities Lin Jiu'an could think of were that something wanted to kill him completely, or that it was plotting against the part of his origin left in the Tokyo Grand Grail.

"No, I have to go take a look."

Lin Jiu'an immediately got out of bed.

As I walked to the door and opened it, I saw a blonde, tanned woman standing there.

The beauty's eyes were like a vast starry sky. Like Osmandis, only the vital parts of her body were wrapped in white cloth, which made them bulge. Her slender waist and thighs were exposed to the air.

Upon seeing him, the other party immediately bowed slightly in respect.

"Master, what are your orders?"

The Starry Sky Sphinx, or more accurately, the Starry Sky Sphinx in human form.

Osmandis arranged for him to be watched over.

As the ruler of all Sphinxes and the only royal individual, the Starry Sky Sphinx is extremely powerful. Coupled with the infinite resurrection characteristic of the Temple of Osmandis, even Lin Jiu'an might not be able to gain the upper hand against her.

"I want to go out."

As Lin Jiu'an spoke, he started to walk outside, but the next second, the Starry Sky Sphinx blocked his way again.

"I'm sorry, Master, His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the temple before the wedding."

"Then come and sleep with me?" Lin Jiu'an said irritably.

"Okay, master."

Upon hearing this, Starry Sky Sphinx entered the room and closed the door behind her. She naturally removed the white cloth covering her chest and lower body, then stood there confidently, gazing at him with her clear, unblemished eyes.

Lin Jiu'an: "?"

Chapter Thirty: In ancient times, Guan Yu slew six generals; today, there is a sleeping lion pack of nine.

Looking at the clear-eyed Sphinx in the starry sky, Lin Jiu'an felt his anger gradually turn into confusion, and a question mark slowly emerged in his mind.

They won't let me go out, but they'll let me sleep with women?

Do most Egyptians suffer from some serious illness?

"you sure?"

The Starry Sky Sphinx tilted its head: "Didn't you say you wanted me to sleep with you, Master?"

The Sphinx, also known as the Lion-headed Beast or the Hot Sand Sphinx.

A royal guardian beast passed down through Egyptian mythology since ancient times, a legendary monster also celebrated in ancient Greece and Babylonia, the earthly incarnation of Horus, the sky god, manifesting with raging flames and winds, a divine beast that surpasses monsters and phantoms, on par with dragons.

Either one is enough to fight against a powerful Heroic Spirit.

The Sphinx in the starry sky before us is the leader of these Sphinxes, and its strength surpasses that of all the Sphinxes combined.

Considering the time he would waste if he actually fought her, Lin Jiu'an simply picked her up around the waist.

Freebies are free, why not take advantage of them!

······

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put "Starry Sky Sphinx" into a state of "complete corruption," and have received the reward "Blood of Starry Sky Sphinx."]

His control over fire and wind has clearly improved by several levels.

Furthermore, physical strength and total magical power have been further enhanced.

"As expected of a divine beast on par with dragons."

After experiencing the changes in my body.

Lin Jiu'an's gaze fell on the Starry Sky Sphinx, who was completely unconscious inside the black mud.

To be fair, Starry Sky Sphinx truly lived up to its reputation as the king of Sphinxes. Even when he was at full power and attacked from three sides, the opponent still managed to hold out for nearly half an hour before giving up.

Reclaim the black mud.

After placing the unconscious Starry Sky Sphinx on the bed, Lin Jiu'an turned and walked towards the door of the room.

As soon as Lin Jiu'an opened the door to his room and stepped into the corridor, he saw the path leading to the exit and fell silent.

Two Sphinxes, also in human form, stood guard. Like the Starry Sky Sphinx, they had blonde hair and healthy wheat-colored skin. Although not as beautiful as the Starry Sky Sphinx, they were still rare beauties among humans.

The two Sphinxes saw him come out and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Master, His Majesty has ordered that you cannot leave before the wedding."

Lin Jiu'an didn't say a word and walked directly towards the two women.

"Master, what are you doing?!"

Upon seeing this, the two sphinxes immediately became wary.

next second.

Lin Jiu'an suddenly sped up and instantly arrived in front of a Sphinx, placing his hand on her body.

The magic erupted, and the precise magic directly blew the white cloth covering the opponent's body apart.

The Sphinx was startled, but then a tearing pain shot through its body.

"Ahhh?!"

Seeing its companion wailing pitifully, the other Sphinx was at a loss for what to do. It stood there blankly, watching its companion being attacked by Lin Jiu'an, unsure whether to save it or not.

While she was struggling with this decision, the black mud had already spread to her feet.

"Aaaaaah?!?!"

······

Okutama Mountains.

Morgan's gaze seemed to pierce through endless forests and lands, landing on the magic workshop hidden deep underground.

That is the crystallization of human wisdom created by the Ise-san clan over countless years and with countless resources. It is an ultimate magical fortress led by multiple magicians. Even if a Servant rashly breaks in, there is only "death" as the only outcome.

However, in her eyes, it was only 'barely acceptable'.

But the problem is, there seems to be some kind of fog obstructing her view.

"We can only break in from the front."

Morgan looked at Aika Sajou, who was some distance away.

Faced with Osmandis, who possessed the "Radiant Great Composite Temple," the two ultimately chose to temporarily unite.

Of course, the best option would be to send some people to the temple to entangle Osmandis, while on the other hand, some people would be sent to launch a surprise attack on the magic techniques of the Ise-san clan to cut off the magic power. Once the latter was completed, Osmandis in the temple would no longer be a threat.

However, neither Morgan nor Ayaka Sajou were willing to be the latter.

After all, the alliance will eventually have to fight for Lin Jiu'an. If they go to Mount Otoma and cut off the magic power, they won't be able to compete with the other side for Lin Jiu'an. But if they send too few Servants and there are no magicians to hold the fort, it will be difficult to fight either side.

So in the end, the two sides came to Mount Okutama together, deciding to destroy the magic workshop of the Ise-san clan before going to rob Lin Jiu'an.

"Let's do it."

The three fairy knights, Brunhilde, Miyamoto Musashi, immediately bypassed Morgan and Sajou Aika and rushed into the dark forest.

"Roar!"

And that was shortly after their figures disappeared into the forest.

A deafening roar erupted as one after another, Sphinxes guarding the magic workshop charged toward them with a roar.

The king atop the temple also turned his gaze and the direction of the turrets toward this place.

Meanwhile, atop the temple, more Sphinxes, leading their subordinate lion-like beasts and other low-level magical and magical creatures, received the king's command. Amidst the horrified gazes of the Tokyo citizens, they leaped from the temple and landed in the streets and alleys of Tokyo, roaring as they charged towards the Okutama Mountains.

······

Hearing the roaring sound and the distant fluctuations of magic, Lin Jiu'an's heart stirred.

"It seems that Morgan, Aige, and the others have already clashed with Osmandis."

"This is a good opportunity."

Lin Jiu'an turned his gaze to the last two Sphinxes guarding him.

Same as before.

The sphinx in his arms had completely lost its fighting ability, while the one wrapped in black mud was still making its last struggle and wailing.

Lin Jiu'an released her and turned his full attention to attacking the last sphinx. Less than half a minute later, the sphinx let out a miserable cry and fainted.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully put the Sphinx into a state of "complete corruption" and have been rewarded with "Sphinx's Blood".]

The black mud, mixed with the primal power of the other party that it had devoured, merged into the body.

Lin Jiu'an looked back.

In that long corridor, a dozen or so Sphinxes were either leaning against the wall or lying on the ground, all of them collapsed in the snow, completely incapacitated. At the same time, the "Sphinx" blood they provided also allowed Lin Jiu'an to reach a new level of strength.

Feel the increase in foundation, physical strength, and total magic power.

Lin Jiu'an was quite satisfied.

This time, the improvement he gained from overcoming numerous obstacles and defeating the Sphinxes was no less than the improvement he gained from devouring Sigurd.

"I wonder when we'll encounter the mother dragon herd."

Another exceptionally large surge of magical energy and a beast's roar came from the direction of Mount Odomo.

Lin Jiu'an came to his senses.

He immediately activated the "Aura Concealment" ability he had obtained from Shuten-dōji and headed out of the temple.

Although Shuten-dōji's aura was only "C", Osmandis's attention was drawn to the chaotic battle in the Okutama Mountains, and the Sphinxes on the temple, except for those he had knocked unconscious, had obviously all gone there. Lin Jiu'an still managed to safely reach the temple's exit, but as soon as he pushed open the door, Lin Jiu'an's face darkened.

"You're really amazing, Xiao Jiu'an."

Meryl stood outside the temple exit, smiling at him.

"But I won't be like those Sphinxes, letting you defeat me so easily... Huh?!"

Before Mary could finish speaking, the black mud burst forth from the darkness beneath her and attacked her directly.

Seemingly oblivious, Merry let out a wail, and her wand fell to the ground.

"Let go of me! Jiu'an, you're so lewd! You can't do that there!"

Lin Jiu'an completely ignored Mei Li's cries of pain and strode towards her with a dark face.

As they approached Meryl, the pitch-black mud formed an impenetrable dome, completely isolating them from all sight and sound.

······

[Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully put "Merry" into the "Primary Corruption" state, and have obtained the reward "Nightmare Bloodline".]

Nearly an hour later.

The sphere made of black mud then collapsed and shrank inward.

"it is finally over."

Lin Jiu'an, having retracted all the black mud into his body, looked in the direction of Okudomo and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the fight was still going on.
