Kaguya Houraisan: @Su Luo, what about you? Did you check in? Hurry and share it so I know my luck isn't the worst.
Su Luo: I think you might be disappointed. Screenshot.jpg
Chapter 8: Summoning a Servant Again
Su Luo sent the screenshot he had taken during check-in to the group.
The chat interface instantly fell silent.
Then, the group members flooded the chat with question marks.
Saeko Busujima: So check-ins can give treasure chests? (Stunned)
Lumine: Not just you. I joined the group two months before you and had no idea the Chat Group's check-in feature could give treasure chests. (Stunned)
Wang Xiaomei: What... why?! I'm clearly the Group Owner of the Chat Group, so why haven't I checked in even a single treasure chest after nearly half a year!?
Kaguya Houraisan: I don't believe it! Staying up all night gaming for a week straight must have messed with my head! Let me reload a save and check.
Su Luo: @Kaguya Houraisan, done yet?
Kaguya Houraisan: ...So what if you got a treasure chest? That doesn't mean you'll get anything good from it!
Wang Xiaomei: Exactly! I just checked. While these treasure chests can contain anything from all worlds, the odds of getting something good are still extremely low. Even a Golden Treasure Chest only raises the chances a little.
Lumine: Boss, hurry up and open it to slap them in the face!
Su Luo: Fine, I'll open it now.
Type-Moon world.
Su Luo looked at the chat interface before him and smiled helplessly.
He did not particularly care whether he could get anything good. With the Trait System, he would not lack powerful abilities or divine artifacts in the future.
With that thought, Su Luo opened the treasure chest.
In an instant.
The Golden Treasure Chest burst forth with dazzling golden radiance.
When the light faded, several gleaming golden words appeared on the interface before Su Luo: Gate of Babylon.
Su Luo casually took a screenshot and sent it into the group chat.
Su Luo: Finished opening it. Screenshot.jpg
Wang Xiaomei: I am weary. Court is dismissed. (Sigh)
Lumine: As expected of my godfather!
Kaguya Houraisan: And you still say your cheat isn't absurdly lucky?
Saeko Busujima: But hadn't you drawn Gate of Babylon before? What happens now that you got it again?
Su Luo: It's fine. Duplicate skills or divine artifacts will be fused and upgraded.
As he spoke, Su Luo carefully sensed the Noble Phantasms within Gate of Babylon.
Noble Phantasms of nearly every rank had received an enhancement.
All Noble Phantasms below A-rank had risen by one minor rank.
For example, a C-rank Noble Phantasm was upgraded to C rank, while a B-rank Noble Phantasm was upgraded to B+, and so on.
Although Noble Phantasms above A-rank had also been strengthened, only their power had increased significantly. Their ranks had not broken through.
Even so, Su Luo was already very satisfied.
Although the A-rank Noble Phantasms had not fully broken through, they had reached their limits. All they needed was one final push to become even stronger Noble Phantasms.
If he obtained another Gate of Babylon, the Noble Phantasms within it could undergo another round of upgrades.
At that thought, Su Luo's eyes immediately lit up.
If his Trait System obtained Traits that were similar or identical, they could also be fused and upgraded.
In other words, as long as he bound Gilgamesh during this Holy Grail War and extracted Traits from him—
If he was lucky enough to draw Gate of Babylon, then his own Gate of Babylon could be upgraded once more.
Moreover, he had a feeling that once Gate of Babylon rose from gold rank to Red tier, it would undergo a tremendous transformation.
At that point, it would not be as simple as raising Noble Phantasms below A-rank by one minor rank.
With that in mind, Su Luo happily chatted in the Chat Group for a while longer before closing it and drifting off to sleep.
Just then, Melly sneaked back inside.
She glanced at Mato Sakura and cast a small spell on her to ensure she would not be awakened by the noise before beginning her great endeavor of Replenishing Magic.
Magpies chirped through the night, heralding that something wonderful was happening.
Six hours later, the sun gradually rose.
Light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the world once more.
"You're really bold. Weren't you afraid of waking Sakura?" Su Luo said with a sigh.
"Hehe, I used a little spell on her. She won't be disturbed." Melly smiled mischievously.
The moment she finished speaking, Mato Sakura woke from her dreams.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, intending to get up and prepare breakfast for Su Luo and Melly.
Only to discover that Su Luo and Melly were already awake.
"Sorry, Brother. I woke up late today. I'll make breakfast for you and Sister Melly right away." Mato Sakura said as she tried to run toward the kitchen.
But she suddenly remembered that they were staying in a hotel. If she wanted to cook, she would have to wait until they found a house and settled down.
"It's fine. Melly and I have already eaten." It was as though Su Luo had encountered some great joy; the upturned corners of his mouth simply would not go down.
Mato Sakura found this strange and turned her gaze toward Melly.
The silver-haired woman had faintly flushed cheeks and a radiant smile. The satisfied look on her face made it clear that she was in an exceptionally good mood.
Mato Sakura only found it odd, but as a child, she did not understand what was going on.
"Sakura, starting today, Melly and I will teach you magic. When you're a little older, it won't be too late to learn cooking if you still want to." Su Luo rubbed Mato Sakura's head and changed the subject.
"Okay." Mato Sakura was a little disappointed, but since it was Su Luo's wish, she naturally obeyed.
After Mato Sakura washed up, Su Luo and Melly took her to a breakfast shop to fill their stomachs.
Then Melly led Su Luo and Mato Sakura to the place she had prepared the previous night.
"Melly, why did you bring me here?" Su Luo looked around at the surroundings.
Although this was his second time here, the place had left an exceptionally deep impression on him.
After all, this was the park where he had been when he first crossed over.
"Master, didn't you know?" Melly gave Su Luo a strange look.
"This is where the Holy Grail is located. If you summon a Servant here, it'll be easier to summon a powerful Heroic Spirit."
At that, Melly revealed an enigmatic smile. "But if it's Master, the Heroic Spirit you summon definitely won't be weak."
Of course. The last time Su Luo summoned a Servant, she had seen a whole group of female Heroic Spirits fighting to become his Servant.
This time, the Hall of Heroes would probably be the same.
Any Servant capable of standing out from a pack of wolves and tigers could not possibly be weak.
What a pity. No matter how fiercely you fight over it.
I'll always be ahead of you.
At that thought, Melly smiled pleasantly and lightly tapped the ground with the staff in her hand.
In an instant.
Su Luo sensed something.
He lowered his head toward his abdomen and was immediately startled.
Then he looked at Melly, meeting her provocative gaze.
Mm, very good.
It seemed Melly needed a beating. Tonight, I'll Replenish Magic thoroughly!
Su Luo thought viciously to himself.
King of Lions
Melly did not care about Su Luo's "fierce" glare, because that was exactly the result she wanted.
No matter what Su Luo did to her in the end, tonight's magic power would definitely be hers.
That newly arrived Servant would not be able to use the same clumsy excuse she had used last night—that preparing the summoning ritual for her Master had consumed too much—to demand magic power from him.
At that thought, Melly wore a smile that said everything was going according to plan.
Meanwhile, Su Luo took a deep breath.
He cast aside his distracting thoughts and decided not to settle things with Melly for the moment.
Then he recited the Servant summoning incantation once more.
Only, unlike before, Mato Sakura was watching from beside him this time. He could not bring himself to do anything improper in front of such a young child.
"I announce! Thou shalt heed my command, and my fate shall be entrusted to thy sword."
"..."
"I am one who comes from the wheel of restraint, guardian of the scales, wrapped in the seven heavens of the three great words of power."
As Su Luo's solemn voice fell.
The summoning circle Melly had arranged in the park instantly glowed with dazzling red light.
Mato Sakura could not help showing a curious and astonished expression.
She looked up at Su Luo's calm face, and a feeling of admiration quietly surfaced in her heart.
At the same time, Su Luo heard the chaotic sounds of battle once again.
But this time, the fighting sounds by his ears quickly vanished, followed by the red light on the Servant summoning circle calming down.
Su Luo stared blankly at the summoning circle. Before he could figure out what had happened—
A piercing sound tore through the air. A spear, swift as lightning and carrying an unstoppable force, shot directly toward Melly beside Su Luo!
Melly sensed that familiar aura and the lethal feeling winding around her heart.
She knew very well that if this strike hit her, this Servant body would immediately dissipate.
So she instantly cast aside all dignity, shamelessly hid behind Su Luo, and shouted, "Master, save me!"
In an instant, the spear aimed at Melly stopped before Su Luo's eyes.
Su Luo was not afraid. After all, he possessed a powerful ability to adapt.
If that attack struck him, not only could he adapt to pain, he could even adapt to death.
Unfortunately, the other party's target was Melly, so he would not be caught up in it.
Su Luo examined the Servant who had suddenly appeared before him.
She wore a lion-shaped helmet, and over her silver armor was draped a white ceremonial robe.
The proud and imposing aura radiating from her spoke of an immensely powerful Heroic Spirit—and a mighty king!
The Heroic Spirit took the initiative to put away her spear, then drew a Sacred Sword and planted it into the ground.
