Chapter 3: The First Blood
In the story of the original work, the battle ended in a crushing defeat for the wild goose of the horse. However, due to Tosaka Tokitomi's overconfidence or carelessness, Makiri's night survived. No, it can't be said that Tosaka Tokitomi was careless, because the injuries suffered by Ima Kiriyan were originally certain to die. It was only because of someone's unexpected actions that he survived.
But in any case, it is a fact that the night of the wild goose did not die on the spot. As long as he doesn't die on the spot, Wang Ji has a chance, doesn't he?
Wang Wei hurried towards the target apartment, and suddenly his steps stopped.
A line of system prompts popped up on his retina:
"Emiya Kiritsugu killed Ryunosuke Yusui, mission 7 failed."
Mission 7 failed? Is it because the mission target has already been killed by someone else, and I can't kill him again, so the mission failed? It seems that my guess is correct.
As early as the first time he saw the content of the task, Wang Ji realized a problem, that is, if the mission target died in the hands of others, would it be considered to have completed the task?
The reason why he had this doubt was because of the seven mission objectives this time, Tosaka Tokitomi, Maki Yanya, Kenneth Almeloy Aqipolud, and Yusheng Ryunosuke would have died in this war. If the mission target is killed by someone else, it is considered to be the completion of the mission, then Wang Ji does not need to do anything at all, just sit back and wait for the war to end, which is obviously impossible.
The system will not release such a meaningless task, so Wang Ji speculated at the time that the task target died in the hands of others, and it would not be counted as completing the task himself. The system prompt that appeared just now undoubtedly confirmed Wang Ji's speculation.
In this way, if you encounter this kind of mission target that may be killed by others in the future, you must preemptively attack him before someone else kills him. Otherwise, try your best to save his life, not as a last resort, and never let him die at the hands of others. ”
Wang Jian thought about this as he walked back towards the target apartment.
###
On the top floor of the apartment, the battle between Tosaka Tokitomi and Maki Yanya has come to an end.
In Tosaka's view, this battle was not a magic duel at all, but a comical farce.
Shi Chen only silently maintained the defensive formation, and did not make any moves that could be called an attack. Despite this, the night of the wild goose on the other side is already in a state of dying.
The current appearance of the wild goose night is simply miserable. The capillaries all over the body ruptured, and blood foam splattered everywhere. His own crumbling figure, which was completely unable to stand upright, seemed to be drowned in a cloud of blood. The face that rolled its eyes because it was too painful made it impossible to judge whether the person was still conscious.
"It's so bold to say...... Has it become such a virtuous character when you start to do it? ”
And the saddest thing is that no matter how much Yan Ye harms his life to mobilize his magic, his attack has never been able to hurt Shi Chen's hair.
Moths to fires - the current situation is simply a reproduction of this old idiom. The swarms of beetles rushed straight towards Shi Chen's flame array, but they couldn't even break through the defense, and they were all burned without a trace. As an emissary, the act of confronting the flames head-on is extremely stupid in itself. Despite this, the wild goose night's attack did not relax in the slightest, cutting its own life and driving the bugs to charge in vain, turning into bursts of flying ash.
It's a sight that makes people laugh at it. For this extremely weak enemy, Shi Chen had already surpassed the limit of contempt and began to feel a little pity for him. Soon, the flames will burn all the insects in the wild goose night. And at that time, it must be that Yan Ye himself will die of anger because he can't bear the pain. Shi Chen only needs to pay attention to maintaining his spells and watch from the wall leisurely. Under his impregnable defense, the winner will naturally be decided.
But for Shi Chen, who followed the noble devil's way, it was the greatest displeasure to continue to expose the ugliness of the misguided and depraved magician in front of his eyes.
"Intensiveeinascherung--" (Cremation for our enemies)
With Shi Chen's second verse chanting, the fire snake of the defensive array slowly meandered towards the wild goose night. There is not even a defense. For this magician, who is now learning and selling, it is doubtful whether he has the knowledge to fight against attack spells.
"Kill...... Kill you...... You guys............ Shi Chen............ Dirty...... Dirty inkstone ......"
Although it was burned alive, the wild goose didn't even scream, just kept repeating the curse in a low voice. His body, which had been eaten by insects from within, may no longer feel pain.
Just as the wild goose night writhed in pain to shake off the flames that wrapped his body, he accidentally broke the guardrail. Just rolled off the eaves and fell into the darkness of the alley.
Wang Ji looked at the figure that was wrapped in flames and fell from the top of the building, and walked quickly towards the place where he fell.
###
In the dark alley, the wild goose fell to the ground and fell into a coma. His breathing was extremely weak, and his life was on the verge of dying, but he was still alive.
"If you leave him alone, he won't live long."
Wang Ji looked at Yan Ye's broken body, which was completely indistinguishable from the human form, and thought to himself.
If he was a killer before, in the face of the situation in front of him, he didn't need to do anything at all, just let him fend for himself here. But now I can't do that, because now I don't just want him to die, but more importantly, I want him to die in my own hands.
Wang Ji took out the knife prepared in advance from his arms, aimed it at Yanye's heart, and stabbed it fiercely.
In the face of this kind of target, which has completely lost consciousness, there is no need to use a gun at all, and any child with a fruit knife can now take his life.
The last bullet should be used where it is needed more.
"Kill the night of the wild goose...... Mission 4 completed...... Gain the 'Water' attribute magic physique, gain the basic knowledge of magic, obtain insect magic, and obtain ......"
Lines of text appeared on Wang Ji's retina, but he didn't care about the content of the text at all.
The process of creating and opening magic circuits in the body is like a hot iron rod constantly inserting into the body. The knowledge that kept pouring into his mind violently slammed into his consciousness. The painful body and boiling brain marrow made Wang Ji's consciousness begin to blur.
I don't know how long it took, the pain in his body began to disappear, the hot brain began to cool down, and Wang Ji's consciousness regained consciousness.
Feeling the untouchable but real power flowing in his body, Wang Ji whispered to himself: "Is this magic? ”
Suddenly, Wang Ji felt a heart-piercing pain coming from the back of his right hand. He looked down and saw three red runes appear out of thin air on the back of his hand.
Spell!
Granted by the Holy Grail, it is an absolute command that can be obeyed by the servants, and an exclusive mark of the Master.
As mentioned earlier, the Servant in the Holy Grail War is not the same as the Demon in the conventional sense. They are actually Heroic Spirits, possess independent consciousness, and most of the Servant's abilities are superior to those of the Master Magician. Therefore, although they have made a contract with the Masters, in fact, the Masters have no binding power on their actions, and it is completely their personal freedom to obey the orders of the Masters. In response to this situation, Machiri, the founding trio of the Holy Grail system, developed the Spell.
The Spell is the Master's absolute command over the Servant granted by the Holy Grail. The Servant will not be able to refuse orders from the Command, and will obediently carry out even if he is made to commit suicide.
A spell appeared on the back of Wang Ji's right hand, which meant that he would replace the qualification of the Master of the Night.
"Can you even take away the contract?"
With the appearance of the spell, the magic power in Wang Ji's body began to transmit to an existence in the battlefield of Weiyuanchuan. Through the connection of magic power, Wang Ji can feel the powerful and violent power it contains. That's Berserker, the Servant who originally belonged to the night of the wild goose.
"If that's the case, then the next step seems to be ......"
At the moment when he realized that he had replaced Tong Yanye as Berserker's Master, Wang Ji thought of a brilliant plan.
"I knew it would be like this, and it didn't matter if I killed Ryunosuke just now."
Yes, if he had known that killing the Master would have been able to obtain his spell and the contract between him and the Servant, then Wang Ji could have killed Ryunosuke Yusheng before, without having to worry too much about being discovered by Emiya Kiritsugu.
The reason why Wang Ji didn't kill Yusheng Ryunosuke before was because he thought that through the hunter system, he could only obtain the personal abilities of the target he killed, and things attached to his body, such as spells and contracts, were not within the scope of acquisition. And in addition to the identity of the Master, Ryunosuke Yusheng is actually an ordinary person. In other words, if the spell is not within the range of acquisition, then Wang Ji kills Yusheng Ryunosuke, and his strength will not be improved in any way except for completing a task. In the face of the possible sniping that followed by Emiya Kiritsugu, Wang Ji would become powerless to resist.
But since the spell is also within the scope of acquisition, the situation is different. At that time, Wang Ji, who will be able to gain control of Caster, really doesn't have to be too afraid of Emiya Kiritsugu.
It's a pity that it's in the past and can't do it all over again. It is an unchangeable fact that Ryunosuke Yusheng was killed by Emiya Kiritsugu.
Suddenly, Wang Yu felt the magic in his body flow frantically towards the other end of the contract connection. No, it's not so much about flowing away as being plundered. The feeling of the magic power being drained in an instant caused intense pain in the newly generated magic circuit in Wang Ji's body.
"Berserker, have you gone berserk?"
