Chapter 417 The Token of Reunion and Rin Tohsaka's Spectating Performance
Death in the Mist

Legend portrayal:

No one knows your appearance or origin.

In a certain empire, some people question your existence.

Some people firmly believe this.

You appear whenever the fog rises, a grim reaper spreading death, capable of killing all living things.

But you never show your face to others.

In a gathering of kings, vying to hunt a terrifying monster.

You emerge from the fog.

In just a few seconds, it effortlessly killed a creature that two kings could not kill, turning it into mist that drifted away with the wind.

The person who observed the battle, yet could neither recognize nor record your face.

I see you as the embodiment of death walking among men.

Gain Blessing:

When you concentrate in the fog, you can observe the fleeting 'lines' that sustain life on living things.

Your attack hit the 'line'.

This greatly increases the lethality against humanoid creatures, eliminates their "immortality," and kills creatures with a certain degree of "immortality."

When you are in the fog, unless you are willing to show your face to others, it will be difficult for others to indirectly observe your appearance through other means.
-
This [Legend] allows you to slowly level up by killing creatures with [undead] properties or creatures that are invincible to ordinary people.
-
Clearly, this "legend" allows Fang Yi to easily deal with monsters like the "Star Clan" that possess "immortality".

Fang Yi believed that for the unknown reincarnator who possessed the flesh and blood to create the [Star Clan] monsters, this was a significant advantage.

That monster, which was released so easily with a hint of testing in mind, is definitely not the last one.

Perhaps, their trump card is an even stronger monster capable of growing to enormous size.

As for the prerequisite for activating this legend, which is being "in the fog".

The fog that the other party deliberately created, which lingered throughout Fuyuki City for a long time, in an attempt to conceal their presence and cover up certain things, had already satisfied him.

Fang Yi believed that this fog, which brought convenience to the other party, would ultimately destroy them.

He watched as the 'death line' on Miss Orange's body remained unchanged in his eyes.

After confirming once again through [Transparent World - Enhancement] that the other party's physical body was no longer undergoing changes.

Fang Yi then waved his hand to dispel the fog.

He also heard a notification sound from the space.
-
You have endowed others with a trait that carries extremely high risks during transplantation, and which, if not handled carefully, can easily lead to physical deformities.

[You have completed a highly difficult, theoretically impossible, perfect physical modification.]

[Due to the influence of "Diligent Study and Improvement," your "Practical Level" of "Dissection of Extraordinary Bodies" has increased from "lv9" to "lv10" (the maximum knowledge level).]

[Due to the influence of the [Module: Limit Breaker], your [Bloody Alchemy] has been upgraded from [lv15] to [lv16].]

He sensed that the skill points he had previously allocated before this mission had been fully consolidated.

Furthermore, after [Bloody Alchemy] broke through the key level, it brought new benefits.

With his thoughts on physical modification becoming increasingly clear, Fang Yi put away the [surgical suit] and closed his eyes.

A few seconds later, Fang Yi opened his eyes again and looked at Miss Orange, whose eyes were already vacant and who was adjusting to her body.

At the same time, he touched the [Kashuu Kiyomitsu] at his waist and gestured it in the air towards Miss Orange.

To his great surprise, he discovered that even without the aid of the [Surgical Kit], he could still achieve his goals.

He can now use this combat-grade longsword to complete the preliminary work before physical modification, which was previously only possible with the [Surgical Suit].

And with the breakthrough of the key level of [Bloody Alchemy].

The amount of spare life he needs to pay to activate it has also decreased.

If he were to undergo this surgery now...

You won't need to pay for 20 years of "spare lifespan"; you'll only need to pay for 15 years.

I vaguely sensed that the skill [Bloody Alchemy], which had improved too quickly, had 'settled' after multiple [physical modifications].

Apart from the [Drug Refining] branch that comes with it from the very beginning, and the [Organ Fusion] branch that is provided by the space guidance.

There is also a simpler way to increase stats, a branch that allows you to choose two out of five options and is currently in development.

Fang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"I've grown and 'upgraded' tonight."
-
Then, he put down his hand and tested the other party's body after the defects were repaired.

The magic circle drawn on Miss Orange using lipstick, which was part of the "Bloody Alchemy" technique, dissipated.

He stroked her firm belly and then grabbed a handful of Miss Orange's snow-white breasts.

After confirming that some parts did not become much tougher than others due to the repair of defects.

He patted Miss Orange, who had woken up in his arms and was secretly observing him with half-closed eyes.

"So, Miss Orange, how's the new body?"

Seeing that Miss Orange was not moving, Fang Yi lowered his head.

I whispered a sentence into the other person's ear.

"Can you stand up and tell me about what you've gained?"

"I have something else to tell you."

After gaining a boost to basic attributes through the [Alien Blessing], I received a buff.

Fang Yi still has several dragon tendons obtained from dismantling the [Scroll of the Deceased].

Under the perception of [Echo Blade's Heart], this is a material that can make up for the 'defect' of the [Kashuu Kiyomitsu] hilt.

He planned to contact Miss Merlin later.

Submit the "Perfect Dragon" quest and give yourself another 'upgrade'.

Use the opponent's [Item Creation A+] to upgrade the hilt of your sword.

At the same time, let's confirm the whereabouts of Kirei Kotomine and Risei Kotomine.

See if what happens to the other person is effective in catching the 'traces' of that reincarnator.

Is it possible to follow the 'traces' left by that reincarnator and hunt down the other party?

Finally, they contacted Artoria through the 'Intelligent Raven' carrying the [Blood Demon Art: Eye Concealment] talisman and began searching for Waver.
-
Miss Orange did not speak.

The woman who responded to the man was somewhat stiff, but still opened her arms to him, climbing onto him like an octopus and tightly embracing his body.

And although some of the lipstick had chipped off, the blood-orange imprints on the men's lips were still vivid.

The blood-orange mark tasted very sweet to Fang Yi.

Because Miss Orange even bravely stuck out her tongue.

It's just because of a lack of experience.

Soon, Miss Orange felt a bit short of breath.

She could only pull away and catch her breath amidst the man's teasing gaze.

Miss Orange remained silent.

The puppeteer, whose basic physical attributes had improved significantly, then went and gouged out his own eye sockets.

Like a crab shedding its shell, it peeled off the eyeball-shaped 'shell' created by the [Visor Worm].

Then she started blinking incessantly.

It seems to be adjusting to the clear vision brought about by the restoration of eyesight after the physical defects were compensated by the "alien blessing".

After blinking three times, Miss Orange rubbed her body against the man.

She excitedly handed the 'outer shell' to the man.

She showed the man this somewhat strange item.

“The keepsake has been left behind, look.”

"In a strange way."

As she spoke, Miss Orange looked into the man's eyes, her face filled with a contented smile.

"After compensating for the physical defects, there is no magical value to it."

"But it's a very meaningful keepsake, a keepsake to commemorate our time together." "What do you think?"

Fang Yi remained silent.

He simply pointed silently to his left eye.

Weiwei activated the [Eye of Imprisonment] and showed the puppeteer the [Demon Eye] that the puppeteer had given her, which also served as a token.

Miss Orange, on the other hand, is like a cat playing a game of cat's paw with a man.

She also opened her blue-glowing [Accumulated Demon Eye] towards the man.

Clearly, the ability of [Alien Blessing] to [complete physical defects] is stronger than Fang Yi had anticipated.

Not only was Miss Orange's nearsightedness cured, but her "Magic Eyes" also returned.

Fang Yi could even sense that the other party's [Demon Eye] had become much stronger.
-
After seeing Fang Yi nod, before the man could speak...

Miss Orange then pressed herself against the man and laid her cards on the table.

"Although I really want to stay by your side."

"But now I need to go back and update and sync my [Perfect Doll]."

As she spoke, Miss Orange grabbed one of the man's hands.

She skillfully guided the man's hands to roam over her body, showcasing the masterpiece of his alchemy.

"I will forever remember the traces and changes you brought to me."

"At the same time, adjust the 'monster' inside your body."

"Besides, I still have a very important matter to settle."

As Miss Orange spoke, she was clearly afraid that the man would be unhappy about her leaving.

So his voice suddenly lowered, and his words became somewhat hesitant.

He seemed to be swaying precariously for a moment.

"You could say that I am who I am today because of this incident."

"This matter is also the driving force that has kept me going until now, and I am almost on the same level as you."

"But resolving it may require a period of waiting, taking an uncertain amount of time."

"I don't want to waste your time making you wait with me in vain."
-
Fang Yi naturally knew what the other party was talking about.

It's nothing more than matters related to the Aozaki family [magicians].

But he didn't ask any further questions.

They simply gave a simple and affirmative reply.

"Okay, when do you need me?"

This simple sentence seemed to have completely shattered Miss Orange.

Upon hearing this, Miss Orange hugged the man tightly and buried her head in his chest.

She handed the "token" to the man, directly expressing her willingness to follow him.

"After I made my final stand with my annoying younger sister [Aozaki Aoko] and the witch she lived with [Kuonji Aratama]."

"Take me away."

"If it were you, you could carry me, carry me on your back, or take me away in a suitcase."

"No matter the method, no matter where I go with you, no matter what our identities are."

Miss Orange resolutely made the promise.

"I accept it all!"
-
Although Miss Orange's face could not be seen as she spoke.

But Fang Yi could already tell from the other person's somewhat nasal voice and slightly damp chest.

I could feel the tears streaming down the other person's face.

But he still didn't say anything.

Instead, they let Miss Orange ramble on about her somewhat rambling arrangements.

"I haven't finished teaching you alchemy yet."

"I need to prepare my lessons carefully."

"And the [Crystal Mayfly] I gave you is broken too. I'll need to spend quite some time making a better one."

As he listened to the other person's rambling, a notification sound from the space rang in his ears.

Aozaki Touko has expressed her desire to follow you and has become your [prospective follower].

[Potential Followers] will only appear in the corresponding [Derivative World] timeline and interact with the Reincarnators.
-
[Reduce the cost of converting this character into a [Follower] and the number of follower slots available.]

[The [Derivative World] is not yet open because the current time does not meet the requirements for its opening.]

[In the current timeline, remove any quests related to its [derivative world], certify its special equipment, and convert it into a follower.]

Without any reduction, you will need to pay 750 merit points and 210000 points.

Fang Yi glanced at Miss Orange in his arms and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Miss Orange, you're incredibly valuable.

I need to accumulate a lot of points and merits, and I also need to participate in your story to get some discounts before I can take you away.

At the same time, the space also illustrates Miss Orange's value.

This character possesses multiple skills and high-value specializations.

[Possesses several high-value special equipment items, including the [Perpetual Motion Magic Furnace] and the [Moon Spirit Essence], which cannot have their certification points reduced due to the death of their owner.]

Fang Yi naturally knew that the former referred to a number of studies related to [Runic Magic] and basic magic.

There are also skills like physical modification and limb reattachment, and alchemy is even considered a side skill.

Finally, there's the most famous puppet that can serve as a "resurrection item."

And those two special pieces of equipment are naturally quite valuable.

One of them is the [Perpetual Motion Magic Furnace], which is almost equivalent to most of the assets of the family behind Kenneth, and whose destruction led to the family's complete collapse.

The other item was the [Moon Spirit Essence] that allowed Kenneth to fall unharmed from a 24-story hotel that had been blown up.

At the same time, space also provides a solution.

You have received a commemorative item from Aozaki Touko, a character with high friendship level.

This item, once transformed, can serve as a marker in the world, a token for entering the character's related derivative worlds to perform quests.

[Once you possess this [Token], you can consume one opportunity to enter the [Derivative World] and undertake a mission at a later date.]

[Do you wish to advance 20 merit points for conversion? (This can be deducted during settlement; the first advance is interest-free.)]

Looking at Miss Orange in his arms, waiting for his reply.

Fang Yi knew he had no other choice.

He had no choice but to take the "token" from the woman's hand and make an advance payment without hesitation.

At the same time, a commitment was made.

"Okay, I will take you away."

"After you've settled these matters."

Upon hearing this, Miss Orange's face instantly lit up with a smile.

Then, she gave the man an alluring look and bent down.

"You should have other things to do later, so we..."

As she spoke, Miss Orange didn't forget to reach out and wipe her lips, using magic to clean up the remaining lipstick.

Looking at Miss Orange bending over, Fang Yi felt as if he had forgotten something.
-
At the same time, at the Tohsaka residence.

While watching the battle against the sea monster Miyuki, Rin Tohsaka noticed something.

He was performing magic tricks in front of himself, projecting videos onto his own screen.

The woman who called herself "Lady Avalon" trembled violently.
