Chapter Thirty-Eight: Qi Shang Liudong Temple
Although it has been forgotten for a long time, it is clear that someone has set their eyes on the vast magic contained in the leylines of Fuyuki City.
Perhaps at the very moment when he was qualified for the Holy Grail War, Edward, who was strengthened as an alchemist and like a mad scientist, with an indescribable haughty conceit, had already begun to plan this conspiracy.
In fact, it is not an unreasonable practice for reincarnated beings to use the resources of the plane to strengthen themselves by any means possible to succeed when performing meritorious tasks in the infinite plane.
As for why Edward's approach was called a conspiracy, Edward's approach was a bit offensive.
The Fatestaynight plane has been subjugated to the heroic battlefield for hundreds of years, and during this time, countless reincarnated people have entered this plane to participate in the Holy Grail War.
However, these people often end up failing and not sticking to this practice, and in the final analysis, it is still a matter of heroic spirits.
So far in this Holy Grail War, there have been six Heroic Spirits who have died on both sides of the Red and Black sides, namely Red Saber Artoria, Red Archer Gilgamesh, Red Rider Perseus, Red Assassin Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Red Berserker Hercules and Black Berserker Yaki Orochi.
Through the sacrifice of these six Heroic Spirits, Edward activated the second-level alchemy circle arranged on the entire natural magic circle of Fuyuki City, and with the help of the medium of the Great Holy Grail, he began to absorb the endless magic contained in the leylines.
Now Edward's strength is increasing day by day, from barely confronting Solomon with the help of geographical advantages a week ago, to now being able to suppress ten of the seventy-two pillar demon gods by himself, and even forcing Solomon to summon all the heroic spirits and masters on both sides of the red and black. The changes are visible.
It is precisely because of the rapid improvement of his strength that he enjoys this kind of pleasure that is a hundred times more pleasant than smoking opium, how could Edward take the initiative to stop.
There is still about a month left before the deadline for the Holy Grail War, and at the rate at which Edward is now absorbing mana, after a month, he will at most reach the peak strength of a captain.
If Edward wanted to speed up the absorption of fusion magic. The only way to do this is to continue to kill the Heroic Spirits and sacrifice the Holy Grail with the Heroic Soul to become a flow pipe that communicates with the leylines, so that you may be able to gain more power before the deadline expires.
So, can Edward resist the temptation of this skyrocketing power?
After listening to Solomon's narration, Bai Fenggu, Su Liuzhen, Hua Jianfeng, Lei and Zhuge Jianmu all had this question in their hearts.
Put yourself in your shoes and think if there is such an opportunity in front of you. Even if the price of success is the hostility of all the masters and heroic spirits on both sides of the red and black sides, I will not hesitate to do it.
If Edward was really determined to activate the alchemy circle with all his might, then he, Bai Fenggu, Hua Jianfeng, and the others would inevitably stand on the opposite side, and they would not die.
No one will watch their high-hoped, Heroic Spirit, become a stepping stone for others to advance!
At this time, looking at the reincarnated people with solemn faces, Solomon dropped another bombshell. "The alchemy circle that Edward arranged is attached to the natural magic array veins of Dongmu City. It applies the most basic and fair principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy. ”
"Once a Heroic Spirit dies, its soul will be drawn by the circle, but it will no longer be stored in the Holy Grail as a wish-granting energy source, as it used to be. Instead, it turned into a flow pipe that connected to the magic of the leylines, acting as a medium for Edward to absorb the magic of the leylines. ”
"According to my observations, this alchemy circle has two functions. When the death toll of the Immortal is less than seven, it can only serve the simple purpose described above, but once seven or more Immortal dies. The alchemy circle will activate the second ability. ”
"What is it?" Zhuge Jianmu shook the palm of the folding fan with a slight tremble, but asked calmly.
"The deaths of the seven Heroic Spirits have reached the number required by the Holy Grail War. With the help of this, not only will Edward's speed of absorbing and absorbing the magic of the leylines skyrocket several times, but all the Heroic Spirits present, including me, will be controlled by the spell system engraved on the Great Holy Grail. ”
"At that time, I couldn't live or die for myself." Finally, Solomon quietly concluded his speech.
Thunder was irritable, but his words were quite calm, and he even analyzed them in an orderly manner.
"Although the rating of this plane is only B-level, according to the information I have obtained, the leylines of Dongmu City are directly connected to the power of the plane's origin, and the magic power contained in it must reach the A-level level, if all of them are absorbed by Edward, I am afraid it will be enough for him to reach the school-level combat power in one fell swoop."
Speaking of this, Lei sneered with a gloomy face, "Hmph, if this kind of opportunity is placed in front of me, even if it is hostile to the eight forces of the Frozen City, I will not let it go!" ”
If Edward had evil thoughts in his heart and was determined to sacrifice all the Heroic Spirits in exchange for his own school-level strength, then, after he succeeded, he probably wouldn't spare a little time and strength to kill the few lieutenant-level reincarnates who were hostile to him.
Thinking of this, Bai Fenggu tightly grasped Medusabeth*'s smooth little hand, his face couldn't help but be a little solemn, and then, he pointed out that everyone was actually in danger.
"Don't forget, there are six Heroic Spirits dead now, and in the Liudong Temple, there is still a Black Caster."
The implication of White Maple Valley is self-evident, if Edward is really mad, even if Black Caster disobeys his wishes, he can always forcibly sacrifice the Heroic Spirit with a Command Spell, making up the number of seven.
Hua Jianfeng, Lei and Zhuge Jianmu and others are all thoughtful people, at this time, after thinking about it for a while, they have already understood their situation, for their pride in the sky, it has always been my fate and I am not up to me, how can they give the initiative to Edward?!
So, hearing Hua Jianfeng's decision, he said coldly: "When we go to Liudong Temple, we must let Edward destroy the alchemy array!" Otherwise, he will only be given a sword. ”
Before the words fell, Hua Jianfeng took Li Taibai to take the lead, and the Qinglian monk, who had always been chic and uninhibited, also looked a little dignified. After all, the more people who have experienced death, the more they can appreciate the beauty of life.
Behind him, Lei and Zhuge Jianmu had gloomy faces, and they each followed closely with their heroic spirits, while Bai Fenggu and Su Liuzhen glanced at each other and followed with steps. (To be continued.) )
