Honkai Impact: Dreams and the Holy Grail, but the Servant is Rei.

Suddenly, he noticed that another entry on the system panel had changed: [Outer Territory Pioneer - Level 1 (4/10)]!

Lancer [Silver Branch] stopped attacking and warily looked at the tall building not far behind him that he had not destroyed.

At the top of the high-rise building, a slender figure wearing a black cape-like shawl over a white shirt stood quietly.

She had purplish-red hair and equally purplish-red eyes; she was none other than [Kafka], whom Meng Weiyu was also extremely familiar with!

Chapter 6 Resembling You Three Points

With the enhanced vision of the Demi-Servant, Meng Weiyu also noticed [Kafka] standing in the most conspicuous position at the top of the tall building.

Perhaps she has just appeared, or perhaps she has been lurking for a long time in a place that Meng Weiyu and Lancer [Silver Branch] have not noticed.

Her clothes were not stained by the grime of the Holy Grail, but the deliberately concealed black mud marks on her face were still faintly discernible.

In that instant, Meng Weiyu completely calmed down from the inexplicable joy and panic she felt at their first meeting. Thinking of Lancer Yinzhi, who was also corrupted, her desire to communicate with her completely died.

However, Meng Weiyu's intuition told him that he might actually have a chance in the upcoming Holy Grail Wars.

After all, it would be too boring to be a corrupted servant who can't speak all the time.

In that case, he absolutely must win the Holy Grail War! And win it seven times in a row!

Ironically, in the original Holy Grail concept, Kafka's wish was for the pioneers' journey to be fruitful.

"At this moment, the stars or the sky must be adventuring somewhere in this world," Meng Weiyu thought for no reason.

But this is not a game; it is a battle for life and death!

The current [Kafka] is yet another dangerous enemy for me, a pioneer from beyond the realm!

He also carried the desire to go home and the expectation of seeing each other again, and he must not be distracted in the battle!

Meng Weiyu abruptly pulled herself together from her wandering thoughts, and her brain began to work at high speed again:

In the mini-game of Dreams and the Holy Grail, [Kafka] appeared as a Caster. In this Holy Grail War, because Meng Weiyu summoned Caster Xilian, this virtual Servant, who was given some of the memories and abilities of the real Kafka, was summoned as an Assassin.

As one of the seven official classes in the Fate/Grand Order series, Assassin is a class specializing in covert operations and assassination techniques.

Unlike the Caster class, which excels at base building and item creation, the Assassin class has its own unique class skill: Presence Concealment.

At this moment, the assassin [Kafka] did not use Presence Concealment, yet as an assassin, she dared to appear directly in front of a Servant and a Demi-Servant.

This shows that she is extremely confident in winning over both herself and Lancer [Silver Branch] at the same time!

However, the Lancer class, to which Silver Branch belongs, is one of the three upper knight classes. They are centered around weapons such as spears and lances. Their class advantage lies in their high agility, which allows them to quickly approach and suppress ranged units such as Archers. However, they are suppressed by the Saber class, which has better stats and stronger magic resistance.

Generally speaking, Lancer also has an advantage over most Assassins who can only use short weapons and Casters who are slow-moving.

But Kafka is not an assassin in the traditional sense; she is a core hunter who excels at meticulous planning and controlling the situation!

Spiderweb elements are visible everywhere in her clothing! She also possesses the power of words to control and manipulate others!

Countless crimson threads suddenly appeared out of thin air at this moment, covering a vast area including the battlefield where Meng Weiyu and Lancer [Silver Branch] were located.

Perhaps before Meng Weiyu arrived, they had already set up their array here, centered on the area of ​​the magic circle that Meng Weiyu had teleported over.

Or perhaps she could achieve the same effect with just a casual strike!

The thin threads did not cause any harm to him or Lancer [Silver Branch], and many of them did not even come into contact with them, but this made every cell in Meng Weiyu's body issue a frantic warning!

At this moment, his body, which had been transformed and reshaped by [magic], could no longer be called living cells; they were more like flowing [magic].

If he were to die at this moment, his body would dissipate like specks of light, just like the other Servants.

"Who could it be?" Assassin [Kafka] chuckled softly, her crimson eyes seemingly only cold.

"What a chaotic scene of contestants entering the arena! So they're all coming for me, huh? And this is only the first day!" Meng Weiyu mentally ranted.

He seemed to hear joyful laughter coming from somewhere else again...

"Laugh all you want. After you've played me to death, you can let in another transmigrator who knows more about Fate than me and can play Iron Man to death."

Meng Weiyu attempted to use criticism to morally blackmail the respected and great Lord Chang Letian.

But it was of no use.

Meng Weiyu didn't expect it to be of any use. When he was working and living alone, complaining in his heart had become a habit.

At the same time, he was also fully utilizing the power of the [Pioneer Memory] in his mind, trying to rewind the crimson threads in the field to a time before they appeared.

He even drastically narrowed the scope of the domain, just to accelerate the backtracking time even faster!

The crimson thread remained completely still, and neither the domain's internal nor the system's entry prompts changed.

Assassin [Kafka] turned sideways, raised her right hand, and revealed a playful smile.

The fingers of her right hand were now wrapped with countless thin, crimson threads.

Meng Weiyu and Lancer [Silver Branch] were lifted up by thin strings like marionettes, their feet dangling in the air.

But the next second, Meng Weiyu landed on his feet and broke free from the control of the Word of Power!

Perhaps it was the strong desire to survive, the will to win, and the inherent magic resistance of the Caster class that allowed Meng Weiyu to forcibly end the Assassin class's already weakened Word of Power Domination!

Assassin [Kafka]'s eyes flickered slightly, as if she remembered another stubborn figure wearing the same clothes.

[Outer Territory Pioneer - Level 1 (5/10)]!

She then looked at the struggling Lancer [Silver Branch], her tone carrying a teasing, cat-and-mouse tone:

"Just kill yourself, Lancer~"

The crimson spear spun rapidly in Lancer's (Silver Branch) hands like a flywheel.

After spinning around in vain several times, Lancer [Silver Branch] still managed to grip the tip of the spear and pierce his own chest with the spearhead.

At this moment, his face, covered with streaks of black mud, was filled with unbelievable astonishment.

"Poor Lancer couldn't escape suicide in the end, being manipulated by a bad woman." Even at this highly vigilant moment, Meng Weiyu didn't forget to complain.

"Was this also within your expectations, Lord Chang Letian?"

"If I hadn't broken free from their control, I probably would have died along with them, or perhaps..."

But the next moment, Lancer [Silver Branch] drew the spear from his chest and pointed the filthy, black-mud-covered spearhead at the even more dangerous Assassin [Kafka]!

He did not die! He still possesses the ability to fight! He has even broken free from domination!

He brandished his spear, preparing to unleash that magnificent and powerful finishing move on [Kafka] once again!

He suddenly stopped, his gaze, now much clearer, falling on the platinum-colored hand armor.

His face, covered in streaks of black mud, was reflected there.

He remembered his companion who had transformed into a dragon and been defeated by him!

Without hesitation, Lancer [Silver Branch] pierced his own chest again, and then his body dissipated into white, gold, and red light spots.

[Ding! Detected that the host teamed up with Assassin [Kafka] to defeat Lancer [Silver Branch], triggering [Gluttony's Praise], and obtaining the purple stat [Battle Continuation (0/1)]!]

[Battle Continuation]: After taking fatal damage, the user will not die immediately. All negative status effects will be cleared, and the user will continue to fight with a severely injured body. This can only be done once per Holy Grail War.

"Watch your step," [Kafka] suddenly said the instant the system notification ended.

Chapter 7 [Luck] A+

Several gleaming military green special grenades appeared at her feet without her noticing, and they exploded all at once the moment [Kafka] finished speaking!

The air around Meng Weiyu rippled as if vibrating, but she was not harmed in the slightest.

It was a nearly transparent barrier made of artificial diamonds!

The barrier enveloped Meng Weiyu like an eggshell, cutting off even the outside air.

This was projected and constructed by Meng Weiyu when he was using the Assassin [Kafka] to deal with the Lancer [Silver Branch]!

Surprisingly, the explosion was not very powerful, and it did not even break through the first barrier.

They didn't create smoke or dust like smoke bombs, and the flash of light during the explosion was only the size of a palm.

However, they successfully distracted Meng Weiyu. When he looked back at [Kafka], he found that she had concealed some traces by using her aura.

At this moment, Assassin [Kafka] is on the roof of the building. She leans back and faces Meng Weiyu with her arms outstretched as she falls. As she falls, a cherry-red longsword appears.

Her hand holding the knife was slightly tilted, the tip of the knife seemingly pointing in some direction in the darkness of Pinocchio.

The next second, the building obscured and swallowed her figure.

Assassin [Kafka] is gone just like that!!

Meng Weiyu frowned as he pondered Kafka's actions before parting. A somewhat unreliable but likely close-to-the-truth guess suddenly popped into his mind and lingered there.

"She seems to be saying that if you want to find me, go in this direction," Meng Weiyu thought to herself.

Even as a Caster-level Servant, Meng Weiyu could not sense the slightest trace or aura of [Kafka] in her surroundings.

Of course, it's also possible that there are no relevant entries for it.

Oh right, speaking of terms! Meng Weiyu hurriedly opened the panel:

[Sub-Servant (Limited to this Holy Grail War)]: Meng Weiyu

【词条】：【域外开拓者·白色·1级（5/10）】、【贪饕的赞许·紫色·2级（0/2）】、【投影魔术·金色·2级（130/200）】、【开拓者·记忆·金色·2级（196/200）】、【战斗续行·紫色·1级（0/1）】

[Servant]: Xi Lian (temporarily absent)

[Servant Class]: Caster

[Noble Phantasm]: Unknown (All Servants, including Demi-Servants, are unable to use Noble Phantasms in this Holy Grail War)

[Command Spell]: 0 strokes

[Costume]: None available

[Enhancement Level]: ? ? ?

Within his mind, next to the [Actor's Glossary Box] system, Meng Weiyu's illusory image was projected, and he began to seriously study his changed glossaries:

[Projection Magic] The projection time hasn't increased, but the quality of the projected fakes seems to be slightly higher. [Pioneer's Memory] Rewinding areas containing magical objects and time-stopped areas remains 20 meters, but rewinding areas without magical objects has increased to 40 meters, almost double! [Gluttonous Praise] The probability of obtaining high-level affixes has increased, but at least make the probability public!

Meng Weiyu finally focused her gaze on the purple entry [Battle Continuation], and pondered carefully:

"'After taking a fatal blow, you will not die immediately, but will clear all negative status effects and continue fighting with a severely injured body.' Hmm, it is indeed a particularly useful skill. Unfortunately, I cannot rewind my body, and it seems that it can only be used once per Holy Grail War."

"It seems there are quite a few limitations to time travel."

Putting aside the limitations of [magic power] consumption and radius range, this was the second relatively obvious flaw he discovered.

As for the first flaw, he already had a vague guess when he broke free from the power of the Assassin [Kafka] Word of Power:

He cannot rewind certain things involving [magical power] from an enemy Servant!

For example, a thin crimson line, or a flashing military green grenade.

He didn't want to be beaten up in his invincible time-stopping domain, which had a special [magic] covering it, and who could rush in without any effect.

Of course, what's more likely is that someone at a greater distance is frantically launching flying swords at him or illuminating the entire river with countless flying blades.

Meng Weiyu looked around warily, afraid that her idea would be realized by Lord Chang Letian.

Fortunately, he was just being delusional again.

At this moment, Meng Weiyu noticed that the [Demi-Servant (Limited to this Holy Grail War)] in her mind could be opened and viewed, which contained detailed records of Meng Weiyu's current attributes as a Demi-Servant:
