Chapter 422 Possible Tricks

After the female ninja was defeated, the red moon in the sky also receded, and the barrier surrounding Katori Shrine also disappeared, and the whole world returned to its peaceful appearance at the beginning.

"What's going on? It feels like you just entered a very strange space?"

Esdeath said thoughtfully: "Is this something called a barrier?"

"The barrier is indeed a barrier, but it's not a third-rate barrier, but a great magic level [inherent barrier]."

Liu Xia sheathed the sword and said: "It embodies the mental landscape of the user, erodes the real world, replaces the surrounding space, and forms a small world that only belongs to itself. This is the technique. In the magic world, this is the greatest magic after magic, and it is the same thing as the forbidden spell."

People who can use this kind of great magic are quite rare throughout human history. In the modern magic world, such people will be sealed and designated as long as they are discovered. Those who cannot be beaten are exceptions.

And with this level of magic skills, he should be a Caster class servant anyway. It turns out that the one using this inherent barrier is actually an Assassin, which is really strange.

However, it would be a bit troublesome for her to use the inherent barrier, so Liu Xia simply killed her with a sneak attack.

Ruka looked in the direction of the female ninja.

After her body was severed by Muramasa's sword, her body disappeared in a burst of light. Only the pool of blood left on the ground could barely prove her existence.

"This female ninja should indeed be dead...but the Caster from before is a bit hard to tell."

Liu Xia turned her attention to the mission template in the lower right corner of her perspective, which displayed the number of mission kills.

[Spiritual Foundation Enhancement Mission I - Limited Basic Ability Value Increase: Kill a Knight of Karmic Servants] has been completed. You will get an opportunity to increase your basic ability value, which can unconditionally improve any of the five basic ability values. One level, or a positive correction.

[Spiritual Foundation Enhancement Mission II—Limited Skill Value Enhancement]: Kill three karmic servants.

…………

There is only one kill.

Judging from Caster's previous performance, it is more appropriate to think that he deliberately faked his death to achieve a certain purpose.

However, he used Myojin Kiri to kill the female ninja who had become a Karma, but after cutting off Caster's body, the other party was still alive... Could it be that Caster was not a Karma Servant? Or are there any other life-saving trump cards?

As expected, Caster class servants are the most troublesome.

"Let's leave first."

Lucia held the knife and walked out of the hall with Esdeath, called the flying dragon through the eighth room, and flew into the sky.

Ten minutes later, the flying dragon flew back from the sky. No trace of the heroic swordsman's return was found, and then it flew in the direction of the thatched hut.

The familiar Gray Eagle is still hovering above the shrine, monitoring the status of the shrine. Although the familiar is ineffective against Caster, no matter whether he makes a move or not, Liu Xia can know his movements through the familiar, and the familiar is very simple to make. , I don’t feel bad if it’s ruined.

In the sky.

On the way back to the hermitage on the flying dragon, Liu Xia used [Basic Ability Value Increase Chance] on the flying dragon's back.

"Use the basic ability value to improve the opportunity, and the limited improvement item is [Strength]."

Liu Xia gave the order to the [Unnamed Spiritual Base] in his body, and then a very familiar heat flow came from deep inside his body, entering his limbs and bones, raising his muscle strength to another level. .

Among Liuxia's current five basic ability values, durability has reached EX and cannot be further improved, so it is not considered. Magic power has also reached A+. Even if it is upgraded from A+ to A++, it only increases explosive power, and the magic power does not increase much. Therefore, it is of little use, and the luck value is a complete question mark. Liu Xia has never relied on luck, so she is excluded.

The only things that can be improved are strength and agility.

Among them, agility improves the Servant's physical flexibility and nerve reaction speed, etc., which also does not greatly improve the strength. And because of the [Transparent World], Liu Xia is not bad at all in this aspect, so he gives priority to improvement. Muscle strength.

Strength: A

Durability: EX

Agility: B

Magic: A+

Lucky:?

After the muscle strength is raised to A, the amplification effect provided by [Breathing Technique·Ghost] is minimal and can only increase about one-fifth of the muscle strength. It seems that the upper limit of the muscle strength that this skill can increase is about 60 times that of ordinary people.

However, through the third stage of [Blood Ghost Technique·Monster Power], Liuxia's muscle strength can reach a terrifying 210 times. With the skill of [Magic Release·Fire], his hand-to-hand combat level has steadily reached an exceptional level. Servant There are very few people who can defeat him in hand-to-hand combat.

But just as he once said, he has almost reached a bottleneck in strength. At present, he can only make such a small improvement. It is almost impossible to break through to another level in one go. At most, it can only be achieved in all directions. means to strengthen oneself.

After returning to the thatched hut.

Lucia told the few people who stayed here what she saw, heard and did at Katori Shrine without any concealment. She even revealed her speculation that Caster might not be dead.

"Does that mean it's not that easy to solve everything in one go?" Qianzi Muramasa exhaled with no apparent joy or anger.

"But being able to defeat a heroic swordsman on horseback is already a very good result."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's attitude is quite positive, without any dissatisfaction, and even made suggestions in return, "Let's go to Rustic City tomorrow to get some information. If the remaining heroic swordsmen have left Katori Shrine, say There may be some action outside, it should be easier to gather information if we go to the rustic city."

"Oh! What a nice suggestion!"

Musashi immediately agreed upon hearing this, but given her personality, she probably prefers the prosperity of a big city.

"By the way, Lucia, are you and Esdeath okay?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to look at Liu Xia and Liu Xia, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "According to your statement, that Caster must have done something before he died, right?"

"Considering his state at the time, it is indeed a reasonable inference that he did something."

Liu Xia nodded, but his expression remained calm, "But maybe it's because his methods are too sophisticated, so I haven't noticed anything unusual for the time being."

He didn't consciously train his magic skills. As of now, although he has good attainments in the accuracy of magic, he still knows nothing about many advanced magic knowledge. Compared with Caster's obvious strength, The magician seems to be at a disadvantage.

"I will tell you if anything happens as soon as possible." Liu Xia said this, temporarily calming her worried heart.
