Chapter 275: Servant Summoning and Mutation
In the Moon world, Valhalla itself is above the timeline, so the solution proposed by the inhibition is indeed achievable, the only problem is......
"Change...... What is this thing? Zheng Shu touched his chin and thought.
Fortunately, at this time, the intimate panel gives a hint:
[Detecting the World Consciousness and Proposing a Transaction]
[Transaction content: The world consciousness completes the proposed conditions, and the user pays an impact factor equivalent to 25% of the collection progress.] 】
Zheng Shu suddenly realized after seeing the prompt on the panel: "Is the impact factor the so-called change...... Is the impact factor such an important thing for the world? ”
At this time, Zheng Shu also recalled what happened when he first entered the Moon World, as an existence that is more alien than an ordinary "alien", Zheng Shu, an "intruder" from the outside of the world, can actually make the two extreme xenophobic inhibitions of the Moon World Earth agree to him to enter his own world, and the biggest role in this period should be the influence factor of the panel.
As long as you pay enough influence factors, you can not only allow your stubborn inhibition to allow yourself to descend into the world, but also help you arrange a beginner village. In fact, it should be seen from this that the impact factor should be a particularly precious "resource" for the world.
Combined with the name of the influencing factor of the inhibiting force: change, Zheng Shu thought of his own method of obtaining the impact factor, and probably understood what the essence of the impact factor of the panel was.
"Okay, I agree to your proposal!"
After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Shu very simply agreed to this deal with Inhibition.
- So, let's start trading between us now!
This sentence was not displayed from the panel, but appeared directly in Zheng Shu's mind.
It can be seen that he is quite excited to earn such a suppressive force, and even a little impatient, so he simply bypassed the process of the panel and directly instilled information in Zheng Shu's mind.
Judging from this reaction of the inhibition force, if Zheng Shu had suppressed the price before, maybe the inhibition force would also agree to this transaction.
However, although he already knows that the impact factor is a very valuable thing for the world, Zheng Shu does not mean to save too much, after all, for him now, it is very simple to obtain such a thing as an impact factor.
…… What's more, after completing this transaction with the inhibition force, it is not certain whether Zheng Shu's impact factor reserves will decrease or increase.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the number of influence factors obtained by Zheng Shu after participating in the Holy Grail War can be lower than the "ticket" he gave to the inhibition force, then Zheng Shu simply don't travel through the world, just find a corner and die alone.
"Wait, it won't take too long this time, will it?" Zheng Shu suddenly raised a question.
Although he knew that the two sisters would not wake up so soon, since Zheng Shu had made an agreement with them, the first thing they saw when they woke up was himself, then Zheng Shu naturally had to abide by it.
In case the inhibition force cheats and delays a little when traveling through time, then Zheng Shuke will not be able to complete the agreement.
- Rest assured, Valhalla is transcendent in time, and no matter how long you spend there, you will come back in the next moment after you leave.
"Is that so? That's good......" Zheng Shu nodded.
He noticed that when he said this, there was a slight fluctuation in the originally mechanical tone of the inhibiting force, and it seemed to become more "expectant".
However, Zheng Shu didn't feel any malice, and in the end, he could only understand this "expectation" emotion as the desire of the inhibiting force for the impact factor that was about to be obtained.
- So, make a trade?
"Good!"
As soon as Zheng Shu's voice fell, several prompt messages immediately appeared on the panel in front of him:
[Instruction Received]
【Transaction Details Confirmed】
【Finishing ......】
[Influence the impact of the impact factor to ensure that the transaction is completed]
Zheng Shu felt that a part of his spiritual power was actively extracted by the panel and mixed with the impact factor that was about to be used for the transaction, with this part of Zheng Shu's will, once the inhibition force did not complete the transaction as agreed, then this part of the impact factor would be destroyed by Zheng Shu's will.
[Consciousness is applied completely, ready to extract the influencing factor.] 】
[25% of the impact factor of the collection progress has been extracted, ready to trade]
Progress: 200.32%→175.32%
Zheng Shu watched a green ball of light float up from his chest to the sky, and then an irresistible sleepiness hit, and Zheng Shu just lay on the bed and fell asleep.
……
……
In the room, Sakura put the book back on the shelf and looked out the window with those blank eyes.
The transformation of the carving is really painful, but the effect is also quite obvious, at least the perception ability of the family has been greatly improved after being transformed, and now I can feel that there are insects in every corner of the house.
She didn't like it, but she had to stay here because she was abandoned by her father.
Just then, there was a knock on her door. After opening the door, Sakura found that the person who knocked on the door was Sakura Sakura's dirty inkstone.
After seeing the cherry blossoms behind the door, the dirty inkstone squeezed out a smile. He seemed to want to smile kindly, but with the skinny and bony skull-like face of Kamima's Kirin, such a smile would only be more penetrating.
"It's in the room, I asked Shinji to come to you just now, but he said Sakura-chan that you're not in the room, so I'll come over to take a look." The dirty inkstone of the mason leaned over his body, and he coughed twice from time to time when he spoke, looking like he was going to die at any time.
"I'm sorry grandpa, I just went to the study to get a new magic book, is it time? I'll go right now. Sakura replied calmly, but there was a hint of fear hidden in the calm.
"I see...... Very good, you work very hard, this is a necessary quality for the heir of the Kiriri family. Jian Tong Dirty Yan nodded approvingly, and then changed his mouth and said, "I came here to tell you one thing, there is an important ceremony in the basement tonight, so there is no need to come." ”
Sakura nodded in understanding, and this well-behaved appearance made Jian Tong very satisfied, and after instructing some questions about magic learning, she turned around and left.
Seeing that the door of his room was gently closed, after confirming that the dirty inkstone of Maki had gone away, Maki Sakura's eyes fluctuated, as if there was a sense of relief.
"An important ceremony?" Sakura frowned.
When Kirito came back from the night before, Kirizakuri overheard a conversation between the two of them, which seemed to be about an upcoming ritual.
However, I didn't hear much information, only that some kind of powerful demon would be summoned during this ritual.
It seems to be called...... Servant?
It seems that if the ritual is successful, you will get a dream object that can fulfill all wishes.
"Can you fulfill all your wishes?" Sakura looked down at her palm, her eyes fluctuating slightly, "If there really is such a thing...... Will I be able to fulfill my wish? ”
……
……
The mansion of the tree, underground, the worm warehouse.
The bugs that normally filled the entire underground space were gone, as if hiding in a deeper shadow, leaving only the floor that looked fairly clean.
Standing in the center of the worm barn, in front of them was a complex circle carved with blood-red paint.
At this time, the spell that Jian Tong Yan was chanting was coming to an end, and the magic circle in front of him had already emitted a dazzling light, which meant that the ritual had entered the most critical moment.
Jian Tong Yanye could clearly feel that the insects in his body began to squirm constantly, and the skin on his body was constantly rising and falling, and the intense pain made the green tendons on his face burst, and blood and tears continued to flow out of his eyes.
As the ritual progressed, the activity of the worms in his body became more and more intense, and he even began to gnaw at his body to convert his life force into magic.
But for Makiri, who has never developed his own magician qualifications, such a huge magic force has caused another kind of pressure on the body, and the vision in his left eye has begun to blur, which is a manifestation of the magic affecting the nerves.
And after discovering that his host's body had an irreversible disability, the engraved worm in his body did not hesitate, and simply ate the left eye of the wild goose to transform it into greater magic power, which was used to supply the operation of the magic circle.
As a person who has not developed his magician qualifications much, if he wants to drive this top-notch summoning circle, this is the price that Jian Tong Yanye must pay!
With a steady stream of magic infusion, finally, a figure covered with a strange black mist slowly appeared in the center of the summoning array, the figure's body was covered with black heavy armor, and it looked extremely majestic and powerful.
At this time, Tong Yanye's body had become extremely weak, and he gasped for breath, even if the ritual was not completely completed, his body was on the verge of collapse.
However, looking at the black figure that appeared in the center of the Fazheng, a trace of excitement flashed in the only remaining right eye of Jian Tong Yanye: "Cheng...... It worked! I did it! ”
Feeling the tremendous power transmitted from the contract, the night of the wild goose was so excited that it was hard to control it.
He knew that this was his only possible chance.
As long as he catches this only hand, defeats Tosaka Tokitomi, who trampled on Sakura and Aoi's happiness, and gets the Holy Grail, then he can take Sakura out of this hell.
I will definitely make it! For Sakura, for Aoi......
Bang!
There was a loud bang that seemed to shake even the space.
When the night of the wild goose was still thinking about the future, the call that was about to come to an end suddenly had an accident.
Behind the black figure that had just been summoned, the space suddenly kept vibrating, and there was a vibration like water waves out of thin air, as if something terrifying was about to break through the world barrier from the world behind the space and cross here.
"Roar!"
As if sensing danger, the black figure that had been standing silently in the center of the circle let out a roar like a wild beast.
And with this angry roar, a "crack" finally appeared in the space above the circle in this continuous vibration.
Click!
A crisp cracking sound was heard, and the originally untouchable space shattered like a mirror, revealing the void world behind it.
"It's ...... What the hell? Jian Tong Yanye looked at the space where the crack appeared in disbelief and muttered to himself.
And the dirty inkstone that had been standing beside him didn't know when he had lost his figure. He had already hidden himself as soon as the mutation appeared, and the entire basement was filled with the sound of a swarm of insects.
When the space above the circle completely cracked a perfect circular gap, a huge "suction" came out of the black gap.
The suction did not affect the surrounding matter, not even the air showed any movement.
But the man who was in an active state of magic could clearly feel that the magic power in his body was draining rapidly, and the speed was like someone putting a pump in the bath, no matter how much he resisted, it had no effect.
Even the engraved worms in his body gradually lost their lives under such a high-power extraction - after all, the life force of a creature itself can be transformed into magical power.
And the body of the body of the wild goose has appeared, not to mention the servant who is in the strongest position of suction directly below the circular gap, and whose body is completely composed of magical power.
There was almost no room for resistance, and the night of the night watched as the servant he had just summoned turned into black and was absorbed by the circular hole.
"Brute! Stop it...... Stop! She roared hoarsely at night, but could only watch as her last hope of saving Sakura was completely destroyed.
And the three "spells" that appeared on the back of the hand that had just concluded the contract between the two were also targeted by the suction emitted by the round hole as a huge magic crystal, and at the moment when the black servant disappeared, the spell on the back of the hand was also absorbed and faded.
Seeing this scene, Jian Tong Yanye was even more furious, which meant that he was completely disqualified in this Holy Grail War.
However, his body has been destroyed and extremely weak, and after losing the Engraved Worm in his body and the servants he has summoned, he has no choice but to be incompetent and furious.
After absorbing all the magic in the suction range, the circular cavity seemed to be a little unfinished.
However, this hollow hole didn't know why it didn't drain the vitality of the wild goose, but after sucking up the life of the insects in his body, he didn't continue to absorb his vitality.
After calming down for a while, even when the night of the wild goose that fell to the ground had recovered a little, there was finally a new movement in the hollow.
Crash!
A large swarm of long, magical black tentacles poured out of the void, quickly sweeping through the hidden swarm of insects in the basement.
These tentacles made of magic power don't seem to be real, and the black tentacles that fell to the ground have been swept by the black tentacles several times, but they didn't notice that there was anything wrong with them.
However, all the insects that were swept by the black tentacles were damaged, and the life force on them would be sucked dry after just a moment, and in addition to the tentacles that contained a lot of magic power and could be seen clearly, there was also an invisible suction around the tentacles.
Any bug that doesn't have time to escape will die in an instant, leaving only the fragile body on the ground.
Not long after, the insects stored in the original Kiri's insect warehouse were slaughtered, leaving corpses everywhere.
Although he had seen the scene in the worm warehouse several times, he never thought that his father could hide so many insects.
For a long time, when all the insects that could be touched were absorbed, the magic tentacles were still waving non-stop, and they still didn't seem to be satisfied.
As if sensing something special, all the tentacles stabbed downward, and the illusory tentacles easily passed through the floor and continued to advance deep underground, and soon came into contact with a large number of magical convergence points.
This is the leyline of the Maki family, and it is also the most precious treasure of the magician family besides the engraving.
The black magic tentacles danced happily like rats in a granary, frantically sucking the vast power of the leylines.
Under the terrifying absorption efficiency of the tentacles and the absorption intensity of exhaustion, even the leylines full of power have shown signs of drying up - after all, the leylines of the Makiri family are only one branch, and in order to be able to carry out the Holy Grail War, they have accumulated a lot of magic power elsewhere before.
The tentacles seemed to be aware of this, and followed the flow of the leylines towards the source of the accumulated mana.
The illusory tentacles themselves have no limit to their length, and with the blessing of the surging magic of the leylines, they quickly reach the source they want.
Looking at the huge magic group in front of him, the tentacles exuded a humanized joy, and then plunged into the magic group.
And then......
Phew!
The tentacles that had just been embedded in the mana group retracted violently as if they were electrocuted, and the entire tentacle made a motion similar to what a human had eaten dirty, and kept spraying the mana it had just absorbed from the mana group back into the mana. Even because he felt too disgusting, he simply cut off the tentacle that originally probed into the magic group and threw it into the magic group.
And after suffering this change, the other tentacles that were enthusiastically absorbing the magic power also quickly retracted into the void as if they had wilted.
Looking at the inexplicable changes in front of him, Tong Yan stared blankly, looking as if he had fallen into a calm hollow.
Suddenly, the magic power that had just been absorbed suddenly erupted from the void, forming a brilliant pillar of magical light that was fiercely poured into the summoning circle directly below.
The magic circle, which was supposed to be unable to function because the time limit had expired, was once again functioning under the imbue of huge magical power.
In the surprised gaze of the night of the wild goose, the summoning circle lit up with a bright light again, and a vague figure slowly emerged from it.
