[Begin Transfer]

When the aftermath of the battle between the Star of the Opening of the Heaven and Earth and the Wuyuan Sword System (Tsumukari Muramasa) dissipated, the figure of Sakutsuki had disappeared in front of Angelica, and only some embers of burnt cloth floated and disappeared in the sunlight rising from the horizon.

"Is he finally dead?" Angelica took back the weapon in her hand and cleared the data about Sakutsuki in her mind.

The pursuit mission has been completed, and the next step is to return to Enzwas City and wait for the next use.

However, as if she didn't want her to forget, the seven-wheel magic circle set up by Sakutsuki rose again, and under Angelica's furious eyes, all the magic power absorbed was poured out to the same place.

That place is - Enzwas City, located in the center of Fuyuki City!

"Sakutsuki -!!!" The roar like a ghost sounded in the ruins in the early morning.

The young man's triumphant laughter seemed to still echo in the air, but it was soon blown away by the wind and disappeared.

Germany, Alps, Lauterbrunnen.

White, white hospital bed.

Golden, golden sunrise.

The sound of cattle and sheep, the singing of birds in the mountains, the gentle singing of seventy-two waterfalls, and the aroma of coffee on the table.

This is the prototype of the elf city "Rivendell".

Every courtyard here is decorated with flowers.

Every room here is qualified to appear on a postcard.

Half of his body was wrapped in bandages, and the young man, half lying on the hospital bed, looked up at the window. The breeze blew his short white hair, and even his eyes were stained with warm luster.

What a quiet and beautiful town, isn't it?

Unfortunately, the town was in a state of panic at this time - it seemed that an evil murderer had entered the town and had committed several murders in just three days. The victims died in all kinds of strange ways, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all extremely miserable.

It was as if the murderer used the human body as a canvas, painting his imagination and creativity to his heart's content - it was a bad joke that made people laugh.

However, the young man did not care about the name of the murderer, who was also an uninvited guest, and he did not care who would die next.

He had just woken up this morning and was immersed in the joy of "being alive".

"Illustrated Book, expand."

[Destiny Illustrated Book has been activated]

A dark blue panel appeared in front of the young man.

If you are familiar with the setting, you can easily see the traces left by the Heroic Spirit Emiya in this panel. The difference is that the original Heroic Spirit Emiya's ability parameters, except for magic and luck, have all been collectively downgraded, and the original inherent skill [Magic] has also been further strengthened and split, and has changed.

The young man lying on the hospital bed, after fighting with Angelica, traveled to the new moon of another world with the help of [Destiny Atlas].

He almost greedily admired the beautiful scenery outside the window. After a long time, the young man retracted his gaze and took out a blank card full of cracks from his pocket.

"Although I have made sufficient preparations, at the last moment, I almost thought I was going to die... Thank you so much, Mr. Muramasa."

As if completing the last mission, the card that once carried the power of a certain heroic spirit shattered into pieces and turned into dust and dissipated.

The young man watched the card dissipate quietly, and then closed his eyes, as if immersed in the afterglow of that battle again.

He injured Angelica's left hand, consumed her magic power, used the Great Magic Mystery to block, and finally used the God-made Ame-no-Kurosakumo sword to hold off, and was able to barely tie with the Sword of Disillusionment (Ea) - and Sakutsuki's own body (container) collapsed due to the explosion of magic power. If the stalemate continued, this much weaker body would probably shatter first.

"It's still not strong enough..." The young man muttered to himself, and his magic power was running. Two black and white swords appeared in his hands, like the rotation of Tai Chi.

As long as he held them, he would naturally feel at ease. This was the confidence that the heroic spirit Emiya had naturally gathered in countless battles.

However, the foundation of this "confidence", the basic quality of this body, was already shaky.

"What should I do to restore the original strength..." The young man whispered in distress.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open, and a cheerful orange-haired man wearing leopard print clothes walked in.

What is death?

As a human being, Ryunosuke Uzumaki is destined to never understand death thoroughly in this life. Even if he can understand the mystery at the last moment, all the insights that emerge at that moment will sink into the endless Yellow Spring River with the man named "Ryunosuke Uzumaki".

Humans are proud of their "wisdom" and afraid of "unknown" things. Therefore, no matter how much they fear an object, as long as they accumulate "experience" and can "understand" it, they can overcome their fear and conquer it with reason.

But only "death"... people cannot experience "death" in life and cannot truly understand it, so humans can only observe the death of others to imagine the nature of death and try to experience death in a simulated way.

Even though it is so difficult to experience death, Ryunosuke Uzumaki can hardly suppress his curiosity. He really wants to understand what "death" is, the conspicuous red color when the artery bleeds, the touch and temperature of those things in the abdominal cavity, the pain and screams of the victims after their internal organs are pulled out and before they die...

For Ryunosuke, this is his lifelong pursuit and lifelong enjoyment.

When a person's curiosity expands to an uncontrollable level, secular morality and laws can hardly restrain him.

At the moment when curiosity breaks through the shackles, the man named "Ryunosuke Uzumaki" finds the meaning of his life.

It's time to reintroduce him——

Uzumura Ryunosuke, an animal lover, a young man with a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, who enjoys life seriously.

He is also a murderer who is rampaging in the Alps, in the small town of Lauterbrunnen.

Mind's Eye (True): B

Insight cultivated through practice and training.

A combat theory that can find a way out by calmly grasping one's own situation and the enemy's ability when one is at the end of one's rope.

As long as there is a 1% chance of reversal,

one must find a way to seize the opportunity to execute the operation.

Clairvoyance: C+

Good vision. Both static vision and dynamic vision have been improved.

Effective for capturing distant targets. At a higher level, even perspective and future vision can be achieved, but this area cannot be reached at a level of C.

Enhanced Magic: C

As an entry-level magic that is very difficult to master, it is a magic that injects magic power to "enhance the existence of the object." To enhance existence means, for example, if it is a knife, it will increase its sharpness, if it is food, it will increase its nutritional value, and if it is a maid, it will increase its cuteness (?)

Projection Magic: A+

Magic that uses magic to materialize the mirror image or replica of an object that exists (or has existed) in reality. Since it is formed by magic, it cannot be materialized for a long time. And when the illusion is broken, it will also dissipate. It is regarded as an extremely inefficient behavior - it should be so.

Unlike ordinary projection magic (Gradation Air) that can only create an object with an empty appearance, in the hands of this man, projection magic is essentially a deterioration of infinite swordsmanship, violating the principle of equivalent exchange of magic, creating illusions out of thin air, and is a taboo magic that erodes the world.
