Her affection for Qin Chuan had long since surpassed her feelings for her original family, so naturally, she felt dissatisfied with Rin Tohsaka because of this.

However, the thought that she had the "sacred relic" given to her by Qin Chuan made Matou Sakura feel a little better.

With the relic, she'll be the one to summon Qin Chuan in the next Holy Grail War.

"Yes, after all, I am a Heroic Spirit, and I can't stay in this world forever."

Qin Chuan ruffled Matou Sakura's hair—although Matou Sakura was indeed very cute, she was too young, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Although it's still unknown whether the next main quest generated in this mission world will be the Fifth Holy Grail War, that doesn't stop him from developing his character in advance.

Who knows, the next time I enter this mission world, I'll probably see a grown-up Matou Sakura.

"I'll study hard once we get to the Clock Tower."

"Ah."

Sakura Matou knew she couldn't stop it, so she could only nod.

However, another ambition gradually emerged in her heart—she wanted to find a way to keep Heroic Spirits in the mortal world forever.

Although she doesn't know if it's possible, she will try her best in that direction.

Qin Chuan didn't know what Matou Sakura was thinking, but he guessed that even if he did, he wouldn't stop her.

Having a goal is always a good thing; at least this way, Matou Sakura will study hard.

……

After leaving the Hyatt Hotel, Qin Chuan went out onto the street.

After all that, it was already quite late... or rather, almost midnight.

Qin Chuan's original plan for today was to eliminate the three Servants, Lancer, Berserker, and Rider, but for the sake of Matou Sakura's future, he spared Rider.

"So, we only dealt with Lancer and Berserker today... The progress is a bit slow. It seems we'll have to take down more Servants next time we enter to make up for it."

Qin Chuan stood on the deserted street, muttering to himself as he looked back.

Unbeknownst to him, he had walked to the side of a small grove of trees. The area he was looking at was shaded by trees and seemed to be deserted.

But in reality, Qin Chuan's ability to sense "qi" was still intact; he could clearly feel a figure under that shadow.

Or rather, he always felt that a figure was following him.

From the moment he entered the Hyatt Hotel, this figure had been watching him from a distance, and then followed him past the Tohsaka residence and the bookstore.

He might have thought he was hiding it well, but in reality, Qin Chuan was constantly using "qi" to confirm his presence.

If this guy tries to leave halfway through, Qin Chuan will immediately take action to capture him.

To Qin Chuan's surprise, this guy was quite composed and stayed close behind him for the past few hours without ever falling behind.

However, Qin Chuan is about to leave this mission world, and he can no longer leave it unattended.

Because he knew who was following him.

"Stop hiding, Assassin, I know it's you, or rather, your clone, right?"

Qin Chuan looked at Assassin's position in the shadows with a cold smile. The other party's aura was indeed very well concealed, and it would be difficult to find him under normal circumstances.

However, under the perception of "qi", the other party was as conspicuous as if standing in the sunlight. Qin Chuan's assessment was that he was not as good as Kato Megumi.

The Assassin in this Holy Grail War, "Hassan the Hundred Faces," is said to have a hundred faces, just like his name suggests, and has the ability to create clones.

It can split into up to 80 clones, each with a different appearance, body shape, and gender (both male and female).

However, when these clones are created, they consume the power of the original body, so each clone is surprisingly weak, and could probably be killed by some magicians.

Moreover, these clones are independent entities and do not possess abilities such as telepathy. Therefore, the information collected by each clone is not transmitted back to other clones or the main body in real time.

In other words, although this clone has already investigated a lot of information about Qin Chuan, it has not yet had time to transmit the information back to others.

If Qin Chuan kills him here, then all the intelligence he has collected will be meaningless.

That's why Qin Chuan didn't make a move earlier—as long as the other party didn't escape, Qin Chuan didn't bother with him.

I'm only getting out of the mission world now, so I'm going to deal with this guy.

"..."

Assassin, hidden in the shadows, stirred, but a bead of cold sweat still trickled down his forehead.

He wasn't sure if the other person had really discovered him or was just bluffing, so he wisely chose to remain silent.

It was precisely because he had followed Qin Chuan all the way that he was very clear about Qin Chuan's strength.

Lacner, one of the three major knight classes, was easily crushed by him like a walnut. How could his small body possibly stop him?

So he could only hope that Qin Chuan was just scaring him and that he hadn't actually found his way.

"If you were smarter, suicide might be easier for you."

However, the next moment, Assassin regretted it—because he suddenly realized that Qin Chuan's figure had vanished from the spot and then instantly reappeared in front of him.

That's right, in just a moment, Qin Chuan's figure changed position—the ability to teleport was certainly beyond Assassin's comprehension.

At that moment, Assassin realized that the other party was not bluffing, but had indeed discovered him.

Then he felt his head being squeezed, and the same force that easily crushed Lancer's skull was applied to his own.

"Actually, I don't really like pinching other people's heads. It's quite disgusting to get all sorts of weird things on my hands."

Qin Chuan looked at Assassin wearing a mask. Although he couldn't see Assassin's expression, he could feel his fear.

"However, grabbing someone's head can indeed render them unable to think, saving them the trouble of struggling."

With his head being gripped by immense force, his brain felt as if it were being squeezed by his skull, causing Assassin to respond to Qin Chuan's words, which in a sense also confirmed Qin Chuan's words.

"Will I gain Assassin abilities by consuming the clone? Let me give it a try."

Qin Chu knew that the Assassin he had captured was one of the clones created by Hassan the Hundred-Faced's Noble Phantasm, "Delusion Illusion".

However, Qin Chuan remembered that each of the Hundred-Faced Hassan created by "Delusion Illusion" was an equal existence, so... maybe by consuming this clone, he could also gain the ability to conceal his aura?

Under Qin Chuan's control, the black bird's figure appeared beside him, extending its jet-black hands towards Sassin.

Chapter 124 Feeling Inferior to Kato Megumi

It's almost morning, and some of Japan's most overworked office workers are already heading out of their homes.

Two middle-aged men with receding hairlines, clearly worn out from the stresses of their jobs, walked down the street carrying briefcases.

"Damn company, having to clock in so early. When will these heartless companies in Japan ever be eradicated?"

"Yeah, that club president isn't afraid of the members treating him like a human being at all... Ouch!"

Two overworked office workers, complaining about their companies, were walking in the middle of the road when suddenly one of them tripped over something and fell to the ground.

But when he stood up and looked back, it was as if he saw nothing at all. He looked around for a while before cursing and leaving with another person.

However, there was actually someone at the spot where he tripped—that was Qin Chuan.

He withdrew his outstretched foot, watched the two corporate slaves leave, and understood the "aura concealment" ability he had obtained from Hassan's clone.

Hassan the Hundred Faces has an A+ level of "Aura Concealment". While it can't be called invisibility, it's enough to make him completely undetectable to the average person.

He just tripped that office worker, who realized someone had tripped him, but he was completely unaware of Qin Chuan's presence.

You know what... she really does look a bit like Megumi Kato.

As for Assassin's clone Noble Phantasm "Delusion Illusion", I didn't get it. I wonder if it's because it was just a clone.

Fortunately, since the one who devours Assassin is Blackbird, these abilities are actually concentrated in the Stand that is Blackbird.

Therefore, as long as Qin Chuan doesn't activate them, these skills won't remain active like passive skills.

Otherwise, Qin Chuan would always have his "aura concealed," and once he returned to the real world, he would probably be like a certain bunny girl, unable to be detected by everyone.

That's much worse than Kato Megumi's situation.

"It seems that's all we can do today... By the time we enter the mission world next time, the other Heroic Spirits should all be there."

Qin Chuan considered that he had dealt with two Heroic Spirits today, which could be considered as advancing the progress of the Holy Grail War.

Qin Chuan had already made plans for the remaining heroic spirits.

Rider and Archer will probably be killed last. The former is due to a deal with Waver, and the latter is because Archer's Master is Tokiomi Tohsaka, who is Rin Tohsaka's father.

As Rin Tohsaka's heroic spirit, Qin Chuan was willing to give Rin some face—of course, if Tokiomi Tohsaka died beforehand, then Qin Chuan wouldn't need to worry about saving face.

We'll just find Archer and take him down; he's been eyeing those highly useful Noble Phantasms in Gate of Babylon for a long time.

The Caster hasn't been summoned yet. Its Master, Ryunosuke Amusei, is a serial killer who is probably still committing crimes in Fuyuki City. Once it's summoned, it can be dealt with immediately.

Saber will be coming to Fuyuki City with Irisviel, the homunculus from Einzbern. It should be in the next day or two. I'll see if I can stake out the airport then.

The most troublesome one is actually the weakest Assassin... This guy can theoretically create 80 clones, but who knows where they are scattered.

Leaving even one Assassin alive doesn't mean the Assassin has been completely eliminated, unless Kirei Kotomine, like in the original work, actively orders all the Assassins to gather in front of him to die.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan shook his head and exited the mission world.

Actually, it doesn't matter if there's one less Assassin, because according to the original work, the Holy Grail will descend when there are only two Servants left.

His mission is to obtain the Holy Grail, not to kill everyone—so what if he leaves one Assassin clone?

……

"Master, the clone I sent to monitor Kenneth has been killed."

In the basement of the Tohsaka residence, Kirei Kotomine received a report from another Assassin.

Although they lack telepathic abilities and cannot communicate intelligence over long distances, they can still sense when one clone is killed.

"Oh? Was he killed by Lancer?"

However, it was not Kirei Kotomine who responded to the report, but Archer Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the sofa.

His red eyes revealed arrogance and a hint of interest in Kirei Kotomine—Kirei Kotomine had just come over with his Command Seals and told him about Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Gilgamesh thus came to understand what kind of person Kirei Kotomine was—a complete scumbag who would be excited by the suffering of others.

But for Gilgamesh, having such a scoundrel as his Master is at least a bit more interesting than having that rigid guy Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"In the end, it's just a fight between two bastards. I wouldn't be surprised if either of them lives or dies."

Gilgamesh viewed everyone else as bastards and had no interest in Assassin's death.

At this time, the tragedy on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel had not yet been made public, so neither Kirei Kotomine nor Gilgamesh knew that Kenneth and Lacner were dead.

Since that Assassin was originally monitoring Kenneth, they naturally assumed that Lancer was responsible after learning that the clone had been killed.

……

[Current World: Fate/Zero]

Main Quest: Obtain the Holy Grail in the Fourth Holy Grail War

[Player Kobold's strength synchronization status: 30%]

Players are encouraged to progress through the main storyline to unlock synchronized power levels.

After returning to the system interface, Qin Chuan saw that the synchronization rate had reached 30%.

In other words, Qin Chuan can now use 30% of his berserk ability... which means he can increase his combat power by 30%.

This ability doesn't conflict with the Kaioken technique, Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

As for the side effect of losing the ability to speak... what need is there for language ability when fighting Frieza? He doesn't have any techniques like Word Power that require language to be used.

As long as the fist can get harder, that's enough.

Thinking this, Qin Chuan glanced at the mission world selection interface again.

【Dear Kobold, please select the mission world you wish to enter: 1. Dragon Ball (time not adjusted); 2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (time not adjusted); 3. Fate/Zero (time not adjusted)】

"……Um?"

Qin Chuan quickly noticed that the selection interface seemed to have changed.

The suffix for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has changed from "Main Quest Generating" to "Time Not Adjusted"?

The main quest has been generated nine times?
