Opening the Anime World with the FGO Method

Even Yukari seems to be quite wary of that [Root Vortex].

She only connected to the Root, not became one with it. There's a big difference.

I heard that among magicians, only five have returned from the [Root Vortex]. However, those five only circled around the entrance of the [Root Vortex] before coming back. Those five magicians eventually achieved the world's five great magics.

Speaking of which, could a mere glance at it grant someone a legendary magic?

If so, it might be another significant boost in strength... Koizumi is still very interested in increasing his power.

But then again, now is not the time to rest. Koizumi's intuition tells him that the poison is no longer effective against him.

Koizumi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slowly stretched out his hands, as if grasping something, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Yukari's power... I've got it!"

Although he couldn't make a sound, he could still open his mouth. Koizumi in his consciousness form was the same as in his human form, except that he couldn't make a sound.

A strange and immense power seemed to turn into flames, enveloping Koizumi's consciousness.

Endless knowledge flooded into Koizumi's consciousness, but he couldn't seem to understand anything. Koizumi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a hint of distortion.

As expected, Gap Youkai are truly incomprehensible beings. The power of boundaries and gaps... incomprehensible.

Although he could understand the essence of boundary power and gaps, Koizumi couldn't understand the principle of their release at all.

As expected, he wasn't the wise type like Yukari. He couldn't understand the essence of many things.

To this, Koizumi could only smile wryly. Oh well... Yukari's power still needs some figuring out.

So, he figures Yukari's power can only be properly understood by asking Yukari when he returns to Chaldea, since she is more familiar with her own power.

The principle of gaps is something that only a Gap Youkai can likely reproduce, and the power of boundaries is a manifestation of connecting to the Root. After all, the power of boundaries can create new things and negate existing ones, its omniscient and omnipotent nature being very similar to the [Root].

Yukari's power is truly bizarre and so powerful. I'm speechless.

But then again, Yukari is also known as the Youkai Sage, so it seems normal for her to be this strong.

Koizumi's consciousness began to emit a dazzling light, illuminating this dark space and completely dispelling the darkness.

And at this moment in reality, the skull-masked girl who had directly poisoned Koizumi was quietly watching Koizumi, as if very puzzled, tilting her head slightly, her gaze not moving away from Koizumi for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

This was a skull assassin whose tone was impatient. She seemed to have a leadership position among the Assassins, even this girl appearing quite weak in front of her.

"Seems... not dead..." the skull girl said softly.

At the same time, a pair of eyes flashed with anticipation and surprise, as if she had seen something that made her very happy.

"How is that possible!" The skull leader's eyes flashed with a strong look of surprise.

This skull leader was very aware of the toxicity of the poison on this girl, just touching it was enough to make the opponent's skin fester, and this toxicity was fatal, it could be said to be the best weapon for assassination.

But the skin on this boy's body was not only not festering, but his breathing could even be heard.

Although she couldn't see the skull leader's face, there was no doubt that she was very shocked at this moment.

She didn't notice the surprise and anticipation of the skull girl beside her.

Slowly, Koizumi's eyes suddenly opened, revealing that blood-red light.

The bloodthirsty light flashed past, Koizumi quickly left the two of them, and materialized [Gungnir].

"It's really hard to guard against, your whole body is poison, but it doesn't seem to work on me."

Although it worked at first, the effect quickly disappeared. Koizumi believes this is Yakumo Yukari's power.

After all, Reimu and Hata no Kokoro didn't prepare anything for him beforehand, and in Koizumi's memory, Remilia had already left the stage, so there was only one Yakumo Yukari left. Whose power could it be if not hers?

Could it be a power that he originally possessed? Probably not...

Chapter 72 Susanoo

"It's really hard to guard against, your whole body is poison, but it doesn't seem to work on me."

Koizumi must admit that he underestimated the Assassin. If he wasn't so tough, he would have been done for.

As expected, you can't just fool around and die. He was really embarrassed this time.

But then again, if he could cooperate with [Night Raid], he might be able to learn from the Assassin. Concealing one's presence is still very useful.

But fortunately, this is just a test. But then again, who goes all out during a test! Koizumi really wanted to complain about this. These assassins are playing for real! If he didn't have poison resistance, he would have been done for.

"Someone... can ignore my... poison..."

The skull girl's eyes were filled with shock and intense surprise as she looked at Koizumi.

Seeing the surprise in the skull girl's eyes, Koizumi looked at her with a puzzled expression. Shock was understandable, but surprise...

What was she surprised about? Surprised that someone could ignore her poison? Is that something to be surprised about?

Since her whole body and even her bodily fluids are poisonous, then this is the strongest weapon given to her by heaven...

Her strongest weapon is ineffective. Shouldn't she be shocked and disappointed at the same time? Why is she surprised?

Koizumi couldn't figure this out. The skull leader didn't seem to notice it either.

After all, the skull leader's gaze was always focused on Koizumi, not looking at the skull girl beside her.

"Seems like it really works. The power within me allows me to ignore this kind of poison, although I don't really know what's going on in the courtyard…" Koizumi grimaced, admitting he truly didn't understand the principle.

After all, Koizumi knew he possessed Yakumo Yukari's power, but Yakumo Yukari's boundary manipulation hadn't activated, so how was the poison being neutralized? Did Reimu and Hata no Kokoro have powers that could eliminate toxins?

Even the Vampire's vitality was useless. Being poisoned to death and then resurrected, only to be poisoned to death again in an endless cycle, what good was that without neutralizing the poison? An infinite loop until your sanity exploded?

Honestly, Koizumi didn't understand the principle at all. He was afraid he'd have to ask Yakumo Yukari in the end.

But Yakumo Yukari wasn't here right now, so Koizumi couldn't ask. And he still had opponents in front of him.

Immense magical power erupted from Koizumi's body, shaking the surrounding air. The Gungnir's shaft crackled with blood-red lightning, as if even space would be scorched by the constant barrage.

With a casual wave, the lightning formed from the immense magical power streaked through the space.

The Skeleton Leader seemed extremely wary, instinctively retreating. The Skeleton Girl, though her eyes showed a hint of delight, also realized their positions were different, so she and the Skeleton Leader retreated together, watching Koizumi warily.

The enemy before them was strong, and the Skeleton Girl's poison, their trump card, was ineffective. A group attack would be essentially useless, so it could be said that the end of this battle was already decided.

It was just that Night Raid's Boss hadn't appeared yet, so they had to keep fighting.

In his heart, Koizumi was already cursing. What the hell are you waiting for? Haven't you watched enough?

However, as if in response to Koizumi's thoughts, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, heading straight for Koizumi.

Koizumi's pupils constricted sharply. The Gungnir transformed into a beam of light, slashing towards the figure before him.

Boom!!!

The beam of light flashed, and the figure immediately stopped, revealing its form.

It was a man with a pair of bull horns, appearing to be in his youth, with a head of deep blue hair.

The unknown long-handled weapon in his hand had blocked the attack, but he was still blasted back dozens of steps.

It was nighttime, the time when Koizumi's Vampire powers were at their peak.

Moreover, Koizumi had already gained control of the Vampire's consciousness, and his current strength was already extremely formidable.

Although he didn't know the principle behind Yukari's power, it couldn't conceal Koizumi's rise in strength.

Because Koizumi had already touched the edge of Yukari's power. Actually, being able to touch the edge was already extremely fortunate.

After all, Yukari's power was above Reimu's, and Koizumi hadn't even mastered Reimu's power yet. But now he was already able to touch the edge of Yukari's power, so Koizumi said that being able to touch the edge was already extremely fortunate.

Getting back to the matter at hand, Koizumi was now looking at the guy with bull horns with a serious expression.

This guy with bull horns was probably a Teigu, after all, how could ordinary humans have bull horns!

Even a Danger Beast hybrid wouldn't have such oddities. Moreover, Night Raid was backed by the Revolutionary Army, and it was normal for the Revolutionary Army to have such resources, so it was perfectly normal for the Revolutionary Army to have a Bio-type Teigu.

However… looking at the being before him, Koizumi couldn't help but feel a hint of wariness.

Honestly, this person gave Koizumi a very dangerous aura, as if there was some kind of power hidden within him.

The danger level of this power was very high, so Koizumi wouldn't act rashly before the other party launched an attack.

"Susanoo, Hundred Personas, Serenity, that's enough!"

The next moment, Najenda appeared in front of Koizumi with a pink-haired girl, her face filled with deep respect.

Beside Najenda was a long-haired beauty wearing headphones and a British-style uniform.

At this moment, this girl was carefully examining Koizumi with curious eyes, chewing on a lollipop in her mouth.

Looks like a girl with a strong curiosity… Koizumi made this definition for the girl in his heart.

But now wasn't the time to focus on this girl, so after only glancing at her, Koizumi's gaze turned to Najenda, and he raised a cold smile.

"Najenda, hasn't your approach been a little excessive this time? Such a grand welcoming ceremony is truly overwhelming…" Koizumi didn't lower his guard in the slightest. If the other party really fought him, he was afraid he wouldn't have a chance to fight back… If possible, he still had to see where he could break through…

Thinking like this, Koizumi scanned the surrounding environment, perhaps he could start from the air.

"This time I was inconsiderate, please forgive me, Koizumi. In addition, Miss Reimu and Miss Hata no Kokoro are already resting at our Night Raid headquarters. Why don't you come to the Night Raid headquarters with me and have a good talk about cooperation?"

To show her sincerity, Najenda deliberately had the two she called Hundred Personas and Serenity step back.

So that's what they're called, Hundred Personas and Serenity…

And… Susanoo…

Wait a minute! If I remember correctly, that seems to be a god from Japanese mythology!

Chapter 73 Reimu Enjoys the Food

By the time Koizumi followed Najenda to the Night Raid headquarters, it was already dawn, although not sleeping for a night made Koizumi feel slightly listless.

But then again, Koizumi had actually wanted to come over a long time ago. If he hadn't wanted to test the other party's strength, Koizumi probably would have come to this Night Raid headquarters long ago.

At this moment, when Koizumi saw Reimu eating delicious food with a look of enjoyment, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

I'm over there enjoying poison, and you're here enjoying late-night snacks… Are we even on the same team?

Hata no Kokoro was selling her masks on the side, selling one to a woman with glasses wearing a light purple cheongsam-style dress and purple-rimmed glasses. Although he didn't know her name, Koizumi felt that she was cute and silly.

However, a pink-haired girl with twin tails seemed very interested in Hata no Kokoro's masks.

Hata no Kokoro's sales seemed to be going very smoothly, so she had already put on the Fireman Mask.

As long as she's in a good mood, that's all that matters… A reassuring smile appeared on Koizumi's face.

However—Koizumi couldn't help but scan the surroundings of Night Raid's main base.

Then, Koizumi shook his head with a wry smile, turning his gaze to Najenda beside him.

"As expected, the most dangerous place is the safest place. I didn't expect Night Raid's main base to be located in the forest area on the border of the Imperial Capital. But that's normal, who would come to such a vast and boundless forest?"

It could be said to be unexpected, but also within expectations... Koizumi thought to himself.

Najenda used to be a general of the Empire, so her choice of terrain must be very particular about military strategy. It's normal for her to choose this place, such a vast and boundless forest makes it difficult for the army to deploy and fight here.

"That's natural... It's my honor to have invited Koizumi-dono and the others this time."

Najenda gave a faint smile and nodded lightly to Koizumi before her.

On the way here, Najenda had already expressed her opinion, she strongly agreed to cooperate with Koizumi.

After all, to be able to obtain the other party's assistance with just information is undoubtedly a very profitable deal.

The only thing she was worried about was whether Koizumi and the others harbored ulterior motives, so Najenda still needed to get in touch with them.

However, according to Leone's understanding of Reimu, the shrine maiden Reimu seemed to be a good person.

And Mine and Sheele also said that Hata no Kokoro was a girl who didn't like to show her emotions and liked to use masks to represent them.

She seemed to be more enthusiastic about selling her masks, as could be seen from what she was doing now.

As for Koizumi, to be honest, Najenda didn't know much about him, so she could only choose to let Koizumi enter Night Raid and slowly get to know him over time. Moreover, Najenda was also taking a gamble.

Birds of a feather flock together. Since Reimu and Hata no Kokoro were both good people, then Koizumi, who was with them, should also be a good person. So, Najenda was taking a gamble.

"I don't mind cooperating with Night Raid, but I also hope Najenda-dono remembers that information is a must, otherwise I have the right not to provide talismans," Koizumi reminded, afraid that she would forget.

Najenda just smiled faintly at this and didn't say much. She could see Koizumi's naivety.

Generally speaking, people with strength are not afraid of the other party not cooperating, so they wouldn't say so much.

And Koizumi's reminder, although it was out of concern, showed that this was Koizumi's first time doing such a thing. If it were someone who had done this kind of transaction many times, then they obviously wouldn't ask so much.

Because the more you ask, the more you seem weak, so Najenda saw through this point.
