It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 27: Taking Yuanzang Mountain

Yuanzang Mountain.

One of the mountains in the southwest of Fuyuki City is the center of the magic power flowing in this area. On the top of the mountain stands the Ryudo Temple, and underneath it is a deep and vast underground cavity. This place is named the Cave where the Dragon - another name for the spiritual vein - lives.

That is the so-called "Dragon Cave".

It is also the origin of the name of "Liudong Temple" built on the mountain.

The huge cavity spreading underground is where the Greater Holy Grail is set, where the first Holy Grail descended.

However, according to the field investigation conducted by Medea yesterday after signing the contract, obtaining the magic supply and regaining her mobility, she discovered a huge hidden danger that was like a time bomb.

With the sharp eyesight of a magician of the Age of Gods, Medea soon realized that someone had created a "tumor" on Mount Enzo, and the spiritual power generated by the intersection of several earth veins would accumulate on it as time went on.

When this accumulated power reaches a threshold that it cannot bear, the void hidden inside Mount Yuanzang will undoubtedly collapse, leading to the end of the entire Holy Grail system.

"It has been at least seven or eight years since this tumor was created. If the current situation continues, the expected outcome will come about in about fifteen to twenty years. Even if the process is hindered, it will only postpone this deadline to within thirty years..."

The Greek witch calmly expressed her opinion.

"Its creator should have hoped to see this scene, but as you said, Master, this Holy Grail War is too special..."

"..."

"..."

"Yes, it was held again only ten years later. If it weren't for this, I guess even this Holy Grail War wouldn't have had a chance to happen, right?"

Toosaka Rin muttered to herself as she stood at the foot of Mount Enzo and looked at the mountain ahead.

She understood the hidden meaning in Caster's words, and subconsciously wondered whether the person who could do such a thing was an eyewitness of the last Holy Grail War, but she didn't have much of a clue.

The confused Master thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't help but shook her head.

Then, she turned her head and subconsciously asked Caster: "Caster, is there any way to stop this?"

"Yes, this person's method is not necessarily very clever... It's just that he has the advantage of time." The Greek witch said tactfully. "And we may not have that much time, Master."

It is not difficult to resolve this matter as long as it is not during the Holy Grail War.

With the countdown being counted down by the day, it is hard to say whether it will be today or tomorrow, and during a war that could end at any time... is it really necessary to devote energy to such a thankless task? This question is worth discussing.

Toosaka Rin also fell into deep thought. After a moment, she clenched her fists and said resolutely: "It seems that there is no other way... Caster, let's act according to your suggestion."

"As you command, leave the rest to me, Master."

Medea bowed slightly and nodded, also casting her gaze towards Mount Yuanzang in front of her.

Next, she will use this place as her base to build her own magic formation. As a witch of the Age of Gods, she possesses A-rank formation construction skills and can create a "temple" that is better than a "workshop".

This is the correct way to open Caster.

It is unreasonable to ask her to fight everywhere like a warrior. Just as the Assassin's duty is to assassinate by stealth, this class was not established from the beginning to confront the opponent head-on. Each class has its own unique features and positioning.

Xia Zhi, who was standing in the back, watched all this calmly without making any comments.

If the situation remained the same and there was no improvement, he might get confused. The witch lady he picked up on the road actually had her eyes on the same place as him, which might affect his plans.

Under the circumstances at that time, he had to weigh whether he should let his beautiful colleague end her mission in this world ahead of time and return to the Throne of Heroes...

However, the situation is different now. Xia Zhi has keenly captured a greater opportunity from the current situation. The realization of this opportunity is obviously inseparable from the help of the witch lady. It requires her solid professional knowledge and skills to be realized.

Therefore, after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, he decided to put his "eating dirt plan" on hold for the time being.

Of course, the main reason is that the efficiency of eating dirt is obviously gradually declining. Even if everything goes well, if I can continue this behavior for a few days without interruption, I am afraid that I can only barely double my magic power...

——In fact, this growth rate is already astonishing.

——Even with such a rough application method, the stone-boiling technique can still achieve significant improvements, which is actually due to the unique properties of Yuanzang Mountain or the Holy Grail.

Under normal circumstances, if he still tried to use this crude method to continuously transform the energy of the earth veins to enhance his own magic power, he would realize that the actual efficiency of this method was unbearably low and could not be implemented at all.

The reason is that in ordinary spiritual lands, the concentration and quality of the earth vein energy are far inferior to this...

Even if you are lucky enough to encounter an energy field of the same level, the spiritual power contained therein will definitely not be the most suitable for transformation, pure and flawless colorless power...

That's basically it.

Although Xia Zhi was aware of this, he was at a loss for a moment. It was not until Medea brought him new intelligence that he keenly realized that his initial strategy of trying to solve the problem fundamentally might actually work.

Perhaps I have only done a trivial job, and I haven't even been able to break through the defensive magic circle surrounding the Holy Grail...

However, the unintentional efforts of his predecessors have paved the way for his success. Now it only takes someone with a destiny - like him - to take over the baton and complete this crucial final chapter.

"Let's go, Assassin—"

At this time, the Master also greeted the young man.

"Let's go up together and take down Liudong Temple first..."

The girl in red with twin ponytails said this in a deep voice, with a sense of vigor and determination. With the change in attitude and concepts, the style of doing things will naturally change as well. She is determined to participate in this event to the best of her ability.

For myself, for my family, for my father...

"Okay, Master."

Xia Zhi collected his thoughts and glanced in the direction of Yuanzang Mountain again.

In fact, if you think in a positive way, this can be considered a form of concealed attack. When colleagues build positions on the top of the mountain, they will become the real focus in disguise and will attract the attention of others.

--------

The process of taking over Liudong Temple went smoothly.

There was no resistance at all. Most people were directly captured by the mystery of magic. They were easily hinted by Medea and acted according to the witch's instructions without realizing it.

They didn't ask them to do anything, they were simply asked to move out.

During the Holy Grail War, rent a house outside and don't come back for the time being, so as to avoid being innocently affected and losing your life.

The Greek witch was naturally not a good person, but for the sake of her new master, she didn't mind spending a little more effort. There was no use in keeping these people anyway.

Based on the brief time they have spent together, she is quite satisfied with the new Master.

Although it is not very mature, for a servant, it means that he can be trusted.

"I wonder what that guy Liudong's expression will be when he returns home and finds out he was kicked out..."

Toosaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had made up her mind, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the direct and natural invasion of someone else's residence and the act of driving the other party out.

"Maybe he won't even notice what's happening..."

Watching the abbot and the monks moving in an orderly manner, Xia Zhi said calmly, and at the same time looked at the girl: "Master, you can make up your mind so quickly. You didn't even think about it yesterday..."

After all, he had mentioned before that it would be best to change the base.

But the girl at that time didn't think too much about it. She just made excuses that she had no money and let the matter go.

In fact, this also shows her attitude towards the Holy Grail War. It is already a war of life and death. How can she not go all out to fight for every chance of winning just because of the reason of having no money?
All I can say is that although I am determined, I am not yet aware of it.

"Hmm! You don't need to remind me of this..."

Toosaka Rin's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she glared at him: "I also know that I am not really prepared, and I took it for granted!"

Having said this, she clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath: "But, but, this may be the last chance. No matter what, I must try to achieve that goal..."

When she realized that "this might be the last Holy Grail War" and "if she missed this opportunity, her long-cherished wish would never be fulfilled", the girl's ideas and attitudes naturally underwent some subtle changes.

The change in concepts and attitudes will undoubtedly lead to innovation in the style of doing things.

This is also the reason why she left school directly and chose to come to Yuanzang Mountain with great determination.

"Is this important? Do you want to obtain the Holy Grail to fulfill a certain wish?"

Xia Zhi took in all the girl's subtle expressions, pondered for a moment, and decided to ask a question.

"It is the duty of the Toosaka family to obtain that, and if you want to become a magician, that is the inevitable path..." Toosaka Rin frowned, as if she thought about it, before saying this.

She had been constantly preparing to win the Holy Grail, but she had never thought about what wish she would want to fulfill after she actually got the Holy Grail.

It seemed like a lot of ideas popped up all at once, but none of them seemed to be what I wanted, so I thought about it subconsciously and simply used my father's last words to answer the question.

"Is it just an obligation?"

Xia Zhi nodded thoughtfully, that's good.

Then he could destroy the Holy Grail system without any psychological burden.

"I have been working hard for this goal, okay!" The black-haired girl with twin ponytails didn't know what her Servant was thinking, and couldn't help but argue, "I hope to restore the glory of my family. This is also my responsibility as a magician."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but wave her fist.

During the Holy Grail War that year, the young girl looked at the man who, in her memory, had never made a joke, touching his head and speaking worriedly in a heavy voice. That scene will be unforgettable for her forever.

At that moment she was thinking, if she could become a magician, she would definitely win everything.

Now that the Holy Grail is before her, she must consider whether this is her only chance in this life. She has no choice but to restore the glory of the Tousaka family and fulfill her father's last wish!
The young man opposite frowned, feeling that something was wrong with this scene.

----

----

Take over Ryudo Temple and set up the magic battlefield.

He quickly used the spiritual land to restore his own magic power and began to arrange various defensive spells.

Medea handled all of this with great skill and ease, and by the evening alone, she had basically completed the control of the top of Mount Yuanzang.

At this point, the next step is to take action -

There is no doubt that the next target is the red-haired boy in the school, the boy named Shirou Emiya.

Toosaka Rin recognized the other party, but she didn't have any contact information. She could only invite Emiya Shirou to Ryudo Temple by asking Assassin to send a letter. In name, it was to discuss a great cause, but in fact...

cough cough.

Xia Zhi expressed doubts about this strategy. He did not agree that the other side would be so foolish as to run into their base camp, but he still accepted the task.

He moved freely in Fuyuki City like a ghost, and soon found the residence of the red-haired boy according to the address. Unexpectedly, the boy was actually near his home, confronting a loli with white hair and red eyes.

"Berserker, do it!"

The loli, wearing girl's winter clothes, gave the order to start the war with an innocent smile.

“Roar, roar, roar, roar——!!”

Behind her, there was a three-meter-tall black giant with muscles as muscular as if he were cast in bronze. He let out an incomprehensible roar, and strode forward with a huge black sword and axe in his hand, crushing past like a tank.
