They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 23 Not negotiating with evil spirits is a principle.
Danlei is very proactive in his work mode. When he thought of trying to memorize his destiny, he immediately started practicing.

The Memory Path, originally in the game, was a path specifically developed for the Summoner class.

In reality, given Dan Lei's situation, I can only say that Xing Tiecheng was right.

Ninety-nine percent of Dan Lei's memory destiny's power resides in the Holy Grail, which exists as a memory spirit. The power that can be added to himself is truly what the Holy Grail has already consumed.

Aside from allowing him to travel through time and summon heroic spirits, Dan Lei has not yet discovered any other functions of the Holy Grail.

However, these two abilities are powerful enough to live up to the name of the Holy Grail, so Dan Lei has nothing to complain about.

However, regarding the Memory Path, it would not enhance Dan Lei's combat power as much as the Abundant Path.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that much will change in the future. After a certain star core spirit obtained the memory destiny, even though it used Mimi's power to create a time prison, it still fought with a baseball bat and a lance.

So it took Danlei more than a year to forget most of the existence of the Memory Path.

Fortunately, the power of destiny won't suddenly become unusable just because you don't use it for a long time. So, with just a thought, the abundant power of destiny that Dan Lei was using to enhance himself faded away, and was replaced by the power of memory destiny.

After imbuing himself with the memories of destiny, Dan Lei's mind instantly became clearer.

Although this bit of memory and destiny power has little to do with enhancing combat strength, Dan Lei is now certain that he is not asleep.

Because of the ability to clearly perceive the flow of one's memories and the activity of one's mental energy, one's current state does not resemble that of being asleep.

Therefore, Danlei chose to withdraw from the Holy Grail and let his spirit return to his body.

When Dan Lei opened his eyes again, he found that nothing had changed around him. There were no ghosts, and no ordinary people holding weapons were around him.

So, Danlei directly read the words to Sasaki Kojiro.

"Sasaki, how long have I been asleep?"

Sasaki Kojiro replied in seconds

"It was very short, about three breaths."

Dan Lei knew that the passage of time in the Holy Grail Space was different from that outside. When he was thinking about a lot of things, only a second would pass outside. Therefore, it was normal for him to wake up almost instantly.

At this moment, when Dan Lei took out the train ticket again, with the blessing of his memory and destiny, he could clearly see the traces of spiritual energy on the ticket and the general direction of the owner of this spiritual energy.

So Danlei got up and told Sasaki Kojiro to take the luggage.

After all, they've already been attacked; there's no reason for them to just sit around waiting for trouble.

In fact, Nightmare didn't discover anything special about Dan Lei, since the person checking the tickets was an ordinary person and couldn't sense anything special about Dan Lei's aura.

The staff member controlled by Nightmare was simply following Nightmare's orders to hypnotize a few young people and then offer them up to it.

For Nightmare, this was just an ordinary dinner. At most, it made the person it controlled pay attention to whether anyone was carrying a knife on the bus, and if so, hypnotize them first.

However, Dan Lei did not carry a knife.

The reason the ticket checkers targeted Danlei was simply because Danlei's clothing didn't look like that of a local; if they were going to scam someone, they'd target a foreigner first.

Therefore, Nightmare was approached by Danlei without her knowledge.

It was drinking blood and waiting for dinner to be delivered to its VIP compartment at the rear of the car when Dan Lei violently pushed open the door. At this moment, Nightmare was still unaware of the gravity of the situation, still laughing like a hunter teasing its prey.

"Sir, you've entered the wrong private room."

However, the response to this statement was a short sword made of ice.

The compartments of the old-fashioned train were not large, and using a longsword would be cumbersome, so Dan Lei directly used a short sword to fight his enemies.

[Water Breathing - First Form: Lightning Modified Lightning Slash]

The ice-forged short sword, trailing lightning-streaked water, slashed directly at Nightmare's head, which was easily severed.

However, Dan Lei didn't really feel the head being chopped off, because Lower Moon One's neck couldn't possibly be softer than an ordinary ghost's.

Even as his "head" fell to the ground, Nightmare remained completely unfazed and said...
"Oh dear, I never expected that the operation of temporarily integrating with the train for the convenience of eating would actually save my life."

Hey buddy, you're not a ghost, are you? But you don't seem to be a ghost hunter either. I'm getting curious about you~ Before I eat your brain, I'll definitely have to pry into your secrets~~

As Nightmare spoke, a strange flush appeared on the head and face on the ground, making Dan Lei feel nauseous.

So Danlei stomped on the head and smashed it, then ran down the corridor toward the connection point to the train carriage.

At this moment, disgusting layers of flesh sprouted from the walls of the carriage, and several tentacles covered in slime attacked Dan Lei directly.

Normally, Danlei should have used magic here to violently blast these tentacles apart.

But this time, Dan Lei kept in mind Sasaki Kojiro's words: unless he was going to lose, he would try his best to defend himself with sword skills.

As Dan Lei moved forward, he transformed his short sword back into a long sword, turned his upper body to the left, shifted his power to the right, and then slashed downwards with all his might from above his head with the ice sword wrapped in earthy yellow water, instantly creating an earthy yellow turbid flow blade that slashed forward.

[Water Breathing - Type II: Rock Transformation - Turbid Flow Slash]

This is an extended sword technique by Dan Lei after increasing the density of water with earth element. Although the speed of the turbid flow blade is a bit slow, it is powerful and heavy, just like being hit by a heavy sword.

All the tentacles that attacked him were sliced ​​open by the Turbid Flow Blade, and the huge impact slammed them into the train wall, turning them into a pile of minced meat, and also destroyed the train's connecting door.

With the road cleared, Dan Lei sprinted to the partition between the two carriages and then slashed at the connection point of the train with his sword.

This is not the Infinite. Through the power of memory and destiny, Danlei can sense that Nightmare's spirit only exists in the last carriage, so it did not assimilate the entire train like in the animation.

Although Dan Lei didn't know where the neck was, he could easily make the train keep running while he stayed in this carriage and slowly fought Nightmare.

Nightmare clearly realized what Danlei was trying to do, so a face sprouted from the carriage and said...
"What are you doing! If you cut off the train, I will kill everyone in this carriage immediately. Including the staff, there are twenty-one people in this carriage!"

It can only be said that Nightmare threatened the wrong person.

Dan Lei's logic in dealing with the trolley problem is very simple, based on two principles: first, whether there are any important people on board, and second, the number of them.

There's definitely no one on this train that Danlei cares about. How could the twenty-one people in the last carriage be more important than the hundreds of people in the previous carriages?

Therefore, Dan Lei directly slashed several times with his sword, severing the connection between the carriages and causing the last carriage to detach. Then he said...
“Lower Moon Nightmare, you seem to have misunderstood me.”

How did you come to the conclusion that I'm the kind of hero who has to save everyone?
Remember, the principle is not to negotiate with evil spirits. I only have one way of saving people: I'll kill you before you kill more people.

　In version 3.1, even when Star Core Spirit enters battle in his Memory Form during cutscenes, he's seen fighting with a baseball bat at the end.
