Heroic Spirit Killer - Chen Luo

"As for Stigmata, don't forget that besides being a term used in games, Stigmata also exist in reality as a special kind of religious and mythological entity."

"Although the Stigmata in the two worlds are different, if you ask that angel for help, you might be able to make a convincing fake. That is, provided that the angel's power is usable," Yvette said.

Stigmata, also known as holy wounds, are closely related to a particular crucified Jesus.

In a way, Command Seals are also a type of Stigmata, at least in the Moon World.

"Alright, alright, stop studying it." After hearing Yvette's words, Chen Luo pondered for a moment and then withdrew his other hand.

"The Puppet Transformation of these two characters is complete; it's time to wrap things up." Chen Luo then looked at Matou Kariya sitting opposite him and the Old Worm hanging on the net next to him.

Matou Kariya's physical condition was not very good, and his soul strength was not high either, so it was easy for him to be transformed into a doll.

Matou Zouken's soul strength was indeed high, but that was in the past. After 500 years of Erosion, it was already rotten and decayed, and the body he was in now was an insect.

It's definitely impossible to expect the two of them to be as troublesome as transforming and resurrecting Yvette.

As Chen Luo finished speaking, the Old Worm trapped in the cocoon and Matou Kariya almost simultaneously.

Although the Old Worm was trapped in the cocoon before Matou Kariya, the Old Worm was stronger than Matou Kariya.

So although the order was different, they were all successfully Puppet Transformation at the same time.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

With the successful Puppet Transformation, Chen Luo instantly received two rewards.

After being transformed into dolls, both Matou Kariya and the Old Worm have essentially gained infinite lifespans.

As long as Chen Luo doesn't die.

Even if Chen Luo dies, as long as Chen Luo doesn't intend to take the puppets with him, they can continue to live on.

It could be considered a different kind of immortality.

It's worth mentioning that both of them offer favorability rewards, and the discount was fixed at 50% before the task was completed, after they were first Puppet Transformation.

Therefore, Chen Luo gained an extra 50 points of favorability.

It can be used as Favorability Crystal to become friends with others.

Moreover, Chen Luo also obtained something that looked quite good from the Old Worm.

[500 Years of Obsession] (Concept Costume): Once upon a time, there was a man with lofty ambitions.

However, the passage of time has transformed everything about the man into something alien.

Whether it's appearance, soul, or ambition.

Effect: When the user is defeated and leaves the field, inflicts a Noble Phantasm/Ultimate Skill Seal on the enemy (2 turns) and a Curse status (1000 damage, 10 turns).

P. S.: One round lasts 10 minutes. It's worth mentioning that, as a concept Craft Essence, it can apply (equipment) concepts to others.

(Note: Time can be accumulated)

"Hmm... would it be okay to put this on a doll?"

"Someone killed one of my puppets, and then their Noble Phantasm was sealed for 20 minutes? That's..."

If a Servant loses their Noble Phantasm, it's fine for a warrior who just uses normal attacks, but for a Servant who relies heavily on their Noble Phantasm... wouldn't they just be spiraling upwards to heaven on the spot?

That's right, I'm talking about you, Golden Flash!

Chapter 552 Heroic Spirit Slayer - Chen Luo

What is a Noble Phantasm?

Noble Phantasms are the ultimate weapons of Servants, materialized miracles, proof of heroes held by Servants, and the crystallization of humanity's yearning for miracles. They are known as the strongest weapons of "noble fantasy".

It is the weapon, symbol, and special move possessed by the Servant; it is also a superior weapon, or possibly a skill.

Moreover, the key point is that this concept of 500 Years of Obsession, when sealing the opponent's Noble Phantasm, does not only seal one Noble Phantasm, but seals all of the enemy's Noble Phantasms for 20 minutes.

Let's take a look at what Golden Flash's treasures are.

Gate of Babylon

Ea (Ea) / Ea: The Star of Creation

Enkidu (Chains of Heaven)

Gate of Babylon

So the question is, what does Golden Flash have left besides these Noble Phantasms?

Hmm... the Golden Rule, collector's qualities, and leadership qualities?

Archer Gilgamesh is the kind of guy whose Noble Phantasm has been sealed, so he can only obediently let others kick his butt.

For some beings, becoming a Heroic Spirit actually reduces their strength, and this is even more true for becoming a Servant.

For example, Shanshan.

What's most interesting is that the duration of this concept costume can be stacked. With Golden Flash's attack style, if anyone dares to provoke him, he will unleash dozens of Noble Phantasms without hesitation to blast them to death.

What if you accidentally kill seven or eight puppets...?

However, this concept item doesn't seem to have much of a counter effect on King Hassan, as the opponent's instant-death ability is something that can be achieved with a single normal attack.

In other words, the opponent relies on basic attacks rather than their ultimate skill.

But every basic attack from the opponent has the effect of a super move.

"I didn't expect that Old Worm could contribute something decent. Although I probably won't be in the Moon World for too long..." Chen Luo looked at the Old Worm had just emerged from its cocoon but hadn't yet transformed into a butterfly.

It's clearly an insect that can't transform into a butterfly; that's awful.

"But speaking of which, the description of this Craft Essence includes not only a Noble Phantasm but also a powerful attack. Could it be that it affects everyone except Servants?" Chen Luo looked at the Craft Essence with some skepticism.

"Let's try it out with Yvette later."

Ah, why look for Yvette? Well, of course...

All I can say is that those who know, know.

"If this concept is useful not only against Servants but also against people from other worlds, then this thing is precious. Just like Yun Lian'er, if the Great Library were sealed, her combat power would plummet to a pitiful level."

Besides what's written on the surface, the various rewards obtained from the commission also involve all sorts of unspoken rules that Chen Luo needs to figure out on his own.

It's one thing if those instructions say to figure it out yourself, but the real problem is that many of them don't even know how to write them and need to figure it out themselves.

"Grown ups..."

Matou Kariya and the Old Worm emerged from their cocoons almost simultaneously, their silk threads vanishing into nothingness in the air. Then Matou Kariya and the Old Worm respectfully bowed to Chen Luo.

The moment they were transformed into puppets, they knew what they were about to face.

Just like how Yvette, even though Chen Luo blocked 99% of the information in the Collective Network that he opened up to her, still knew quite a lot from that 99%.

After becoming puppets, even without Chen Luo's orders, these puppets will pursue Chen Luo's interests as their own goals, attempting to maximize their own benefits.

This can be described as quite worry-free.

"No, you don't need to be so respectful all the time. I have no interest in interfering with the existence of puppets, except for certain people." As he said this, Chen Luo secretly... openly glanced at the Old Worm.

Actually, Chen Luo didn't look down on the Old Worm. After all, if we go back a few hundred years, the Old Worm would have been a great young man Justice Embodiment. It's just a pity that immortality always comes at a price.

Just as the concept dress says.

There once was a man with great ambitions.

However, the passage of time has transformed everything about the man into something alien.

Whether it's appearance, soul, or ambition.

I'm talking about that Old Worm.

Old Worm naturally sensed Chen Luo's gaze and Chen Luo meaning, but Old Worm wasn't angry.

"Matou Kariya, from now on you can live a happier life with Sakura, and no one should be able to stop you."

After all, the biggest obstacle to Matou Kariya's happy life was that the other person was standing obediently right next to him.

To be fair, the Old Worm was unlucky. If he hadn't turned his true form into a bug, he wouldn't have lost so badly to Chen Luo.

After all, when Chen Luo summoned his main body, he didn't bring anything else with him.

It's like if you summon a mech pilot, would you summon his mech along with him?

So the Old Worm is gone, because he didn't even bring his external armor with him.

"As for Sakura's health problem..."

Chen Luo arrived a year too late.

"Sakura's body has only been modified for a year. If it needs to be repaired, it can still be done," the Old Worm said from the side.

"Never mind, I'll do it. By the way, has Sakura's original imaginary attribute been completely altered?" Chen Luo then asked.

"No. It's not completely transformed yet. In its current state, with your Stripping Ability, sir, you can indeed peel off the filth that is eroding the other party's attributes." As the instigator and Chen Luo's puppet, the Old Worm was quite familiar with Sakura's physical condition and Chen Luo's abilities.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for the Old Worm to explain the solution.

"As for the other party's body... if you are not satisfied, sir, how about we just create a puppet and give the other party a different body?"

"I think you're making things difficult for me, Chen." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the Old Worm.

"Although it is very difficult to remove magic circuits and ensure survival, it is quite simple for you who have the Stripping Ability," the Old Worm continued.

"Hiss, that's true." Chen Luo couldn't help but nod.

From a purely rational perspective, stripping away the water-attribute magic circuits that were covered on the opponent's magic circuits, then stripping away the imaginary magic circuits, and then imprinting them onto the opponent's replaced body, was indeed not a difficult task for Chen Luo.

Only...

"Hey, why would I want to change it? Wouldn't it be better to just extract the magic circuits and study them myself?"

"And after the magic circuit was removed, the other party became an ordinary girl and could live a normal life."

"Speaking of which, if we turn Sakura into a puppet, strip her of her magic circuits, kill her, and then revive her, wouldn't she still have her magic circuits?"

Of course, this was just Chen Luo's thought; Chen Luo had no intention of doing it.

It's just that creative ideas can pop up on their own at any time.

"Alright, I'll check the situation later," Chen Luo said after a moment's thought.

The key issue is that Chen Luo and Sakura are not familiar with each other yet. If they really want to see how to tailor a service to each other, they need to meet in person first.

"Matou Kariya, you now... uh, why is your talent Butterfly Transformation? Aren't you ashamed to have such a talent as a grown man?" Chen Luo was stunned after glancing at Matou Kariya's talent.

Each puppet evolves once upon acquiring its puppet identity, but the higher one's innate talent, the less the evolution effect.

But neither the Old Worm nor Matou Kariya belong to the category of those with high talent.

In reality Matou Kariya doesn't have any particularly noteworthy talents; he only has a D-rank magic circuit.

The Old Worm is better; the Old Worm's magic circuit level is A.

Moreover, the Old Worm has other talents.

After evolving, Matou Kariya gained a special talent—the ability to transform into a butterfly.

"This talent matches the magic you're using now very well," Chen Luo said, glancing at the other person's body.

Just now, when the other party was in Puppet Transformation and wrapped in threads, it also absorbed all the Engraving Insect in the other party's body and repaired the other party's body.

This ability to repair his body was something Chen Luo possessed when he became the Herrscher of Domination, so it's not surprising.

Now, Matou Kariya has recovered to half of his original state without Chen Luo needing to treat him.

He can live normally without the Engraving Insect in his body. The damage to his body and internal organs has been healed along with it. The problem now is that his vitality is low and his body is relatively weak.

"Butterfly transformation..." Matou Kariya couldn't help but sigh after seeing the character talent card that Chen Luo had shared with him through the Collective Network.

If I had this talent back then, I wouldn't have been so averse to the Matou Family's insect magic.

The Matou Family's insect magic originally had no ability to transform into butterflies. Don't think that just because you have special talent, you can turn insect magic into butterfly magic.

But now that we have [talent], things are different.

"My lord, may I go see Sakura?" Looking at his somewhat normal body, Matou Kariya couldn't help but ask.
