Chapter 472 418
"Berserker!"
With Illyasviel's loud shout, Berserker, as if he had triggered some cheat code, finally managed to strike the black Saber, who was restrained by the vines, just before he was hit by the Sword of Victory's Oath and perished.
He sent her flying away, and then she was caught in the maw of a Wooden Dragon.
Vines wrapped around the Wooden Dragon's mouth like chains, successfully restraining it.
The black Saber, who could endlessly use the curry sticks, was finally suppressed by Hashirama Senju.
And Berserker scattered into endless points of light.
Since Tao Yu had just severed the connection between Matou Sakura, the vessel for the Black Holy Grail, the dispersing Berserker wasn't captured again.
He only glanced at Illyasviel in his final moment before dissipating and returning to the Holy Grail.
Meanwhile, at the spot where Archer and Rider had disappeared, the space began to twist.
Archer, who had been petrified and pierced by Rider, and was fading away, also reappeared. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Though he was petrified, he still managed to give Tao Yu a stiff smile.
By then, Matou Sakura had completely cut off her connection with the Black Holy Grail.
The black Rider, who had already died once and was using the Black Holy Grail's magic as her anchor, seemed to continuously emit black points of light.
But unlike before when she was controlled by Matou Sakura, Rider now seemed to be directly corrupted by the Black Holy Grail, beginning her final struggle.
She cast that ominous and malevolent glare towards Tao Yu and Mr. Men.
"Mr. Tao, I cannot stay any longer; otherwise, I might lose control. I'll leave the rest to you," Mr. Men gave his final reminder to Tao Yu.
"Looking forward to the day we meet again, remember, until I recover, don't easily trust me...
"And then, be wary of the moon..."
Then he exploded suddenly, turning into a bizarre, galaxy-like worm, which then burst with a click into sauce.
And Tao Yu was speechless to find that he now had to face this corrupted Rider alone.
Even if Rider was currently dissipating, who knew how much power she could unleash in the end.
"Where is your master? I saved her, you should be thankful to me..." Tao Yu tried to distract with words.
But as soon as he spoke, it was as if he had ignited a powder keg, and Medusa, who already took off her blindfold, looking delicate and beautiful, charged at Tao Yu in a rampage the next moment.
Her sudden burst of speed made Tao Yu feel bitter inside.
Mocking you for being weak before—my bad...
Clang~
The Black Iron Heavy Sword clashed with Rider's dagger, and Tao Yu felt the force far surpassing his own, propelling him flying away.
The rocks along the path of his shadow's cast all shattered thunderously.
As he was flung away, the Chains of Heaven were released, setting up a series of defenses to prevent him from being continuously hit beyond his threshold.
But the black Rider was not only strong, her dexterity was also out of this world. Using the complex terrain of the cave to spring and leap, she unleashed torrential attacks on Tao Yu from every direction.
At this speed, there was no way Tao Yu's Yin-Yang Five Elements Divine Thunder could hit!
From time to time, he had to use Inherent Time Control for defense.
Hopping and bouncing in the air, she whipped up air circulations, stirring fierce and chaotic airflows.
It was only thanks to Demonization's Phase Shift that the excess force was transferred to the ground or cave walls where his shadow was cast, resulting in numerous cracks and breakages.
"No good, I have to change the price; otherwise, I won't be able to withstand it."
After being flung away again, Tao Yu temporarily adjusted his Authority: Price.
From the previously general 'negative effects', he specified it to 'gaining Acceleration', offering his own strength limit as the exchange, rapidly increasing his threshold for enduring speed!
While his endurance was nearly halved, his pure speed increased by thirty percent in a short time!
And as the connection between Matou Sakura and the Black Holy Grail had been severed, Tao Yu also felt that each attack from the black Rider was weakening, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
No wonder she was the one who captured Saber and single-handedly defeated Archer; her base attributes and speed were too strong, and they posed more of a challenge to me than even Gilgamesh...
Clang~
Boom~
As the black Rider's attacks were once again blocked by Tao Yu, she was knocked back against the cave wall behind, embedded into it as if she was set within.
Using her last bit of magical power, the black Rider summoned the dark Pegasus, charging straight for Tao Yu, shattering the stalactites and stalagmites along her path.
"Master, be careful!"
Hashirama Senju, who was still restraining and struggling against the black Saber, freed a hand to make a Hand Seal.
A giant Wooden Man rose from the ground in front of Tao Yu.
While he needed to control Saber, he could only act when the enemy had a big enough opening in their movements.
Unfortunately, the Wooden Man had only just appeared and wasn't fully formed before it was instantly shattered by the black Pegasus, which burst through it!
But it was this delay that allowed the Chains of Heaven, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, to successfully lock onto Rider!
The chains rattled incessantly, but the bindings tightened ever more.
Denying her any chance to struggle, and without directly using Sealing Skill to strengthen, a dazzling aurora had already swept her entire being inside!
The last shrouded in Yin-Yang Five Elements Divine Thunder, Rider nodded gently towards Tao Yu and said, "Thank you."
After the sweep, watching the remaining black Rider start to dissipate into specks of light and return to the Holy Grail, Tao Yu too sat down on the ground, gasping for breath incessantly.
"Among the Servants, I would call you the strongest..."
After mocking himself with a remark, Tao Yu kept swallowing Qi of Heaven and Earth while stuffing Nutrient Paste into his mouth, undertaking a multiple recovery.
It was fortunate that Rider's petrifying mystic eyes began with psychic channels to take control, from which he was exempted; otherwise it would have been much more troublesome.
If not for the temporary change by his Authority, such Dexterity in speed and response would have exceeded his own threshold for endurance.
Rider, post-Demonization, had attributes that were incredibly powerful.@@novelbin@@
"There's one last one..."
Tao Yu looked towards the black Saber still bound by the Wooden Dragon and temporarily controlled by Sealing Skill, without the slightest hesitation.
Curry stick infinity!
Holding back would be madness...
As the final radiant aurora swept by, black Saber seemed to give up struggling, glancing over to Shirou's side for a moment before returning to the Greater Grail without leaving any words.
At this moment, the only Servant remaining was Hashirama Senju!
Perhaps due to Gilgamesh's joining, the shadow of the Grail on this altar had already begun to take shape.
A strong sense of misfortune began to emerge, causing Treya to widen her eyes with apprehension.
"Corrupted World's Heart!"
And what's with this contamination?
It feels like one would go mad just by looking at it more!
However, at this moment, Tao Yu began to form Hand Seals without hesitation, using the vines to send himself towards the direction of the Holy Grail.
A night full of long dreams, who knows if it will move around like that bug from the world of the Titans, better to absorb it first!
Chuckle~
Tao Yu jumped directly into the Holy Grail that overflowed with black ichor, bathing in the ominous and malevolent black mire without hesitation.
Then he began to absorb it unabashedly.
It smells foul and ominous, but there's no time to care about that!
Corrupted World's Heart: The Grail: As per the above, one may additionally choose a normal Servant defeated by oneself to become a long-term Servant, which requires the Master's magical power to support.
Besides the original purpose of the Heart of the World, is there an unexpected windfall?
Almost subconsciously, Tao Yu was ready to choose golden-sparkle, and then realized that the Grail's options did not include him at all – it seems that since Gilgamesh was endowed with a body and could drop items, he didn't count; neither did the black Rider nor the black Saber as normal Servants.
No choice, it's a single-answer question...
Scáthach...
Absorb!
The power of the World, surpassing He's Jade Disc, surged in, and the originally slowly forming fourth Innate talent began to take shape swiftly.
Marrow channels kept strengthening, and the connection between Heaven and Earth also started to intensify, key is not knowing whether it's because of the absorption of the Black Holy Grail.
That feel of evil and inauspicious sludge sticking to him was also rushing into his body.
Demonic Body: An ill-omened power erodes the Innate Body, strengthening marrow channels and dantian, enhancing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and improving training related to negative energy.
The first Deification cost, five thousand.
Perceiving the emergence of the new talent, Tao Yu's expression turned somewhat odd; the talent cost was six times that of Dynamic Vision, truly a rare talent indeed, but it seemed to have been modified by the Black Holy Grail...
No matter, it doesn't affect me anyway, and at most the style might change a bit.
The first deification cost of five thousand, the second cost one million, and what he had left on him was enough!
Just the ordinary version of the talent already doubled the absorption speed of Qi of Heaven and Earth, and greatly increased the toughness of the marrow channels and dantian. Just the basic attribute enhancements after Deification were already a huge profit!
The first Deification increased the absorption speed of Qi of Heaven and Earth to three times, and added an extra attribute that amplified the might of negative energy.
The second Deification increased the absorption speed of Qi of Heaven and Earth to five times, further amplifying the might of negative energy, with the feature of corrosion and contamination, also adding Enlightenment, making it easier to enter a state of sudden understanding!
Enlightenment!?
A gleam shone in Tao Yu's eyes; he barely had any reaction after completing the Deification and entered a profound state.
The newly attained first Deification of "Imaginary Numbers", his second Deification "Meditation Technique", and the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique (Mental Chapter)" he had never grasped began to merge into one.
The Visualization Diagram previously used in Meditation Technique unexpectedly transformed, becoming more divine and dignified, yet at the center of the forehead, a dark point emerged, seemingly embodying the evils of this world!
Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique??: Combining the base attribute enhancements of previous skills, with one's own envisioned deity as the Dao seed to plant the Demonic Species, maintaining self-authority, fostering good and evil, integrating oneself spiritually, strengthening magical circuits, inducing magical power, and purifying magical power quality.
The requirement for second Deification, fifteen million Yuan Force.
Because the marrow channels were occupied by the Everlasting True Yuan, Dao Heart Demon Seed took an unusual path, with the psyche as the foundation and magical circuits as the support to give birth and motivate magical power!
In addition, some magical basics learned from Rin Tohsaka and some knowledge acquired from Hashirama Senju, as well as the Barrier Techniques learned from the Hidden Mist Village, began to amalgamate, converging into another new Skill.
