Opening the Anime World with the FGO Method

Defeat is one thing, but killing is another! If I actually killed her, I'd probably end up with a grudge.

So Akame was very careful during the fight, afraid of accidentally cutting Hata no Kokoro's arm.

But the reality slapped Akame in the face, because Hata no Kokoro didn't show the slightest opening.

Even so, Akame still tried to be careful, because if she accidentally hurt her, she really would die.

Suddenly, the anomaly in the sky made Hata no Kokoro and the others stop what they were doing and look in that direction.

A magic circle shimmering with brilliant light floated in the sky, and the magic power it contained made Hata no Kokoro slightly startled.

Unconsciously, Hata no Kokoro had already put on the Great Fling Out mask, to express her inner surprise.

Hata no Kokoro was very clear that the manifestation of Servants required a lot of magic power from the Master, and Koizumi alone provided the magic power for Yakumo Yukari, Reimu, and herself to manifest, not to mention Remilia, who Hata no Kokoro didn't know about.

In other words, Koizumi alone provided the magic power for four people. Not only that, but Koizumi was also able to unleash such a large-scale attack. Although the power wasn't very great, the scale was huge, and the output must have been considerable, probably comparable to a certain extent to an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Does her Master really have such a huge amount of magic power within him? Hata no Kokoro was surprised by this.

Come to think of it, she always had "I'm going to bet on the title of the strongest!" on her lips, so shouldn't she also challenge her Master? After her Master has perfectly mastered Remilia's power...

The impoverished shrine maiden has already challenged him before, so there's no need to challenge him again. She also knows that she can't win.

"Master has really become stronger!" Hata no Kokoro put on the Fireman Mask, which represents the emotion of joy.

Hata no Kokoro can be said to have the deepest understanding of Koizumi's growth, from being brutally abused by her at the beginning to now being able to hurt her. This has only been less than two days, or even just one day.

Hata no Kokoro has seen how hard Koizumi has worked during this one day.

Now that her Master has shown such a level of skill, shouldn't she also work a little harder?

Looking at Bulat, Akame, and Lubbock, who were also stunned in front of her, Hata no Kokoro's aura suddenly increased.

Hata no Kokoro put on the Hannya mask, and several inherent skills were activated at the same time.

A-rank Emotion Roulette, A-rank Emotion Contagion, and A++ level Noh Art...

Akame, Lubbock, and Bulat's pupils suddenly shrank, and a heavy pressure filled their hearts.

Not only that, but for some reason, they could feel that their originally calm hearts suddenly became chaotic.

A kind of inexplicable anger filled their hearts, and this emotion constantly disturbed their fighting thoughts.

A cold light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, countless sword lights enveloped Bulat, Akame, and Lubbock. Hata no Kokoro's combat power suddenly increased.

Akame and the others couldn't help but show a wry smile. It seemed that the other party hadn't used her full strength from the beginning.

Moreover, according to observation, the other party's mask didn't seem to be an ordinary thing. It was probably related to the sudden change in their emotions. Looking at her like this, she probably didn't plan to end this battle with them so easily.

After looking at each other, Akame and Bulat immediately went to meet her.

Lubbock continued to set up threads around them, using the threads to entangle the other party.

Mine and Sheele in the distance saw this scene and slipped away without saying a word. There were two reasons: first, Leone and Reimu were arm in arm, probably having cleared things up, so there was no need to continue fighting.

Second, Najenda had already begun to summon them. They still had to listen to the Boss.

So, Mine took Sheele, who was responsible for protecting her, and headed towards the base.

By the way, Leone also received Najenda's notice, so she asked Reimu if she wanted to go with them.

Reimu frowned slightly. She was very interested in Night Raid's base. She had slept in the wilderness for a whole night, and she didn't want to continue sleeping like that if she could help it.

Sleeping on the ground is really bad for the back, although Servants don't have to worry about this problem.

But Reimu didn't like this kind of life very much. Reimu's life used to be better than this.

At least she used to have a Hakurei Shrine to live in, but now she actually has to live in the wilderness...

Reimu was actually very unhappy about this, but Koizumi and Hata no Kokoro didn't say anything, so she couldn't say much. After all, sometimes the opinion of the masses is the main opinion, and Reimu's opinion alone doesn't count for much.

"What? You're not planning to go? You're going to have to go sooner or later, aren't you?"

Leone put her arm around Reimu's shoulder, saying this to Reimu in a very ambiguous manner.

Reimu's cheeks looked very cold, but the blush on her face was very obvious.

Compared to the boisterous Leone, Reimu was still slightly conservative, but... where is the conservatism in Reimu, who is wearing a shrine maiden outfit with exposed armpits? Koizumi never understood. This girl's clothes are still relatively revealing!

However, Koizumi estimated that Reimu was only conservative in her mind, and her clothes were still relatively revealing.

"Okay... you're right..." Since the other party had said so, Reimu didn't plan to refuse.

Besides, if Koizumi needed her, he could quickly use the Command Seal to summon her over.

Seriously, the effect of the Command Seal is very useful at this time.

It's a pity that Koizumi likes to use the Command Seal in unnecessary places, such as liking to summon her and Hata no Kokoro over when he's asleep, accidentally breaking people's tables and chairs, or liking to tell her to shut up. It's extremely boring!

Chapter 70: Carelessness

The light of the magic circle shone in the sky, but because of Reimu's barrier, the people of the Imperial Capital couldn't see it.

However, this doesn't mean that the people inside the barrier can't see it... These people with skull faces felt the magic power in the sky and couldn't help but shout MMP crazily in their hearts. With this magic power and this scale of magic circle, you're still just a Master!

Having assassinated so many targets in my life, this is the first time I've seen someone as strange as you.

The next moment, countless bullets fell from the sky, splashing sparks and dust all around.

Koizumi seemed very calm, constantly using his sensing ability to capture the other party's movements.

Basically, as long as I don't get hit by her short blades, there's no doubt I'll be fine.

But maybe I should be careful about that female assassin. I don't know why, but Koizumi can sense that something's off about her. She's like a rose with thorns, and Koizumi doesn't dare to touch her lightly.

If he accidentally gets himself killed being reckless, things could really go south.

Even though Koizumi now possesses the super-strong vitality of a [Vampire], getting himself killed recklessly would be a real disgrace.

However, Koizumi has some vague ideas about this inexplicable intuition in his heart—it's Reimu's power.

Logically speaking, every time he forms a contract with a Servant, the contract should simulate and feed back the same power and abilities to him. And according to Remilia, that power is just hidden within him, waiting for him to stimulate it. So only by constantly becoming stronger can he master more and more power.

Remilia's power was the first to be mastered, followed by Reimu's power beginning to awaken, and Hata no Kokoro's power also faintly stirring.

Reimu's current power manifests as intuition. After all, Reimu's inherent skill—A-rank Natural Instinct—perfectly reproduces Reimu's keen intuition. Anything relying on intuition will never be wrong, and Koizumi reckons that the intuition he felt earlier was brought to him by this inherent ability.

Hata no Kokoro's current power manifests as the ability to sense the other person's emotions, which awakened even earlier than Reimu's power.

It's just that he can only sense the other person's emotions at the moment. If he could perform Emotion Contagion like Hata no Kokoro, then in battle, these emotions that emerge from the heart would easily affect the opponent's fighting.

Unfortunately, Koizumi hasn't figured out Hata no Kokoro's power yet. After all, Remilia's power alone is enough for him to study for a while. It looks like he'll have to make time to train when he gets back to Chaldea next time.

Otherwise, if he just dives into Singularities like this, without enough strength, Koizumi is really afraid of getting beaten to a pulp.

Like now, a bunch of assassins are ready to play a gang fight if they can't do stealth assassination.

If he didn't have Remilia's power, wouldn't he have been successfully ganged up on?

So no matter when, being powerful enough is the only pass to ensure his safety.

While thinking this in his heart, the assassins with skulls were directly blasted to death by Koizumi's barrage.

Speaking of which, these guys could totally form an army themselves...

However, suddenly a question occurred to him: why would so many Assassins appear inexplicably in a Singularity?

Although they all have skulls and look like some kind of cult, the appearance of so many Assassins is itself a problem... Could it be that they weren't recorded on the Throne of Heroes as an individual, but as a group, so they are summoned as such?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

While Koizumi was still thinking, short blades flew towards him, and some even gave Koizumi a dangerous feeling. He reckons they have deadly poison on them. Assassins are very good at using poison.

There's no need to dodge at all. He simply materialized [Gungnir] and casually waved it to knock the short blades away.

Compared to other classes, Assassin's combat ability is indeed very weak. If they don't have anything outstanding, that's probably all they can do. Compared to Assassin, Koizumi, who has seen the power of Caster Cú Chulainn and the power of Berserker and Saber, thinks they are much stronger.

Even that Lancer who was first killed by Remilia doesn't seem very strong.

Thinking of this, Koizumi didn't pay much attention to the bunch of Assassins in front of him.

But suddenly, a sense of crisis rose from Koizumi's heart, causing Koizumi to subconsciously be vigilant about his surroundings.

"You lost!"

A pleasant voice appeared behind Koizumi. The next moment, before Koizumi could react, a soft body had already darted onto Koizumi. Before Koizumi could react, a burst of fragrance filled his heart, and the next moment, a piercing pain was released from Koizumi's body.

In that instant, Koizumi seemed to realize what had happened, and his face instantly turned pale.

"It's... poison..."

His pupils shrank sharply, and Koizumi's vision gradually became blurred, and his body slowly began to fall. All that was left was a vague slender figure and... a sentence.

"I'm sorry, my whole body and even my bodily fluids... are all highly poisonous..."

This was the last sentence Koizumi heard after his consciousness was interrupted. So that's how it is, it's really hard to guard against.

He was still wondering why she darted onto him, but it turns out that just contact is enough to directly poison the other person to death.

It really lived up to his intuition—a rose with thorns...

In Chaldea, Yakumo Yukari silently watched this scene, as if she wasn't worried about Koizumi dying because of it at all.

Remilia felt very depressed, no, it was beyond depression. If she could get over it herself, Remilia would probably carry [Gungnir] and rush to this assassin to stab her a bunch of times.

Even if Remilia doesn't admit it, there is no doubt that she places Koizumi in a very important position.

"Hey! Gap Youkai... you better tell me what backup plan you have now! I'm in a bad mood!"

Remilia's tone was still so arrogant. Even if Yakumo Yukari is stronger than her, she won't admit defeat.

Of course, Yakumo Yukari was used to Remilia's arrogance, so she patiently explained to her.

"Have you forgotten that our little one died once at the very beginning? When you were summoned..." Yakumo Yukari showed a smile, seemingly in a very pleasant mood.

"Our Master's blood, didn't you taste anything wrong?"

Remilia frowned slightly. It seems that's the case. At first, she thought it was because she was just summoned and had abundant magic power, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Subconsciously licking the corner of her mouth, Remilia has begun to think.

"It seems that the servant's blood is full of abnormally large magic power. If this is the case, it can also explain why a random ordinary person can share the magic power supply of so many servants."

"That's right, not only that, he also has an abnormally complex [Fate] with Gensokyo. Strictly speaking, our little Master is of the same level as those two above. Do you think such an existence could be so easily poisoned to death..."

When talking about [Fate], Yakumo Yukari's mouth showed a complex smile.

It was an emotion called sorrow and determination.

Chapter 71 Awakening

What's going on? I should be poisoned… so why is my consciousness still here?

Dimly, Koizumi seemed to see something, a very strange ocean.

Inside, there seemed to be a whirlpool, one that gave Koizumi the feeling that his consciousness would disappear if he got too close.

So Koizumi didn't approach the whirlpool, only glancing at it from the periphery before choosing to flee quickly.

However, Koizumi kept feeling strange. He was clearly poisoned before, so why is he okay now?

That Servant said that her body, including her bodily fluids, contained deadly poison, and he was indeed poisoned.

He was approached by her, and the fragrance of the poison had mixed into the air and entered his nose.

The poison erupted, and a heart-wrenching pain burst from his body, causing Koizumi's consciousness to disappear instantly.

But what's going on now? Koizumi looked around. This is a dark space.

"..." What's going on? He can't speak, but his consciousness can sense the surroundings, and this power...

Koizumi can feel this power. It seems to be a power hidden within his body, so the answer can be revealed.

Now his consciousness is sinking into his body. Is this power protecting him? Is that how it is?

Such questions flashed through Koizumi's mind. Whose power is this within him? Could it be...

That's right, he remembers now. This power belongs to Yakumo Yukari. Yukari has a very special innate skill.

Rank A [Root Connection]. According to this skill, Yukari is a Youkai born from and arriving at the Root.

An existence that freely subverts and manipulates all boundaries. Creating new existences from the essence, denying existing existences from the essence. For Yukari, who possesses this skill, normal ability values become meaningless.

If he's not mistaken, that whirlpool should be the legendary [Swirl of the Root]...

He saw something like that? Koizumi couldn't help but smile wryly.

Legend has it that the [Swirl of the Root] records the beginning and end of everything in the world.

The knowledge recorded within is endless. It is the [Termination] that all magicians in this world want to achieve.
