The Corrupted King Successfully Turned into an Experience Pinata / Humanity's True Nature Is Giving In to Temptation!

Miyu Emiya completed the event check-in and obtained Medea's Noble Phantasm: "Rule Breaker."

Illyasviel completed the event check-in and obtained a Saber—Artoria Pendragon figurine.

Seeing that she had finally completed the event check-in, an expectant smile slowly appeared on Illya's face.

But when Illya saw the system reward—the smile gradually vanished.

She felt as though she had suffered a devastating blow, one that hurt even more than when Medea had blasted her away!

Ai Haibara: "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Sure enough, without comparison, there's no harm. Poor Illya."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "The blood of the unlucky is truly terrifying..."

Saeko Busujima: "Illya... Sigh, I don't even know how to comfort you..."

Illyasviel: "I want to cry. I really want to cry right now. Why do I have to bear pain I shouldn't have to bear at this age... I'm still just a child..."

Administrator: "Logically speaking, Luck E shouldn't affect the system... Hmm, never mind. Pretend I didn't say anything!"

Chu Chen immediately realized that those were not comforting words and quietly shut his mouth, but—it was already too late.

Illyasviel: "...Why do I feel worse and worse after hearing the Administrator? Isn't that basically saying I was already unlucky to begin with?"

Illyasviel: "o(╥﹏╥)oo(╥﹏╥)oo(╥﹏╥)o!!!"

Miyu Emiya: "Um... Illya, don't be sad. I can't use this Noble Phantasm anyway, so how about I give it to you?"

Seeing Illya's expressionless face, then glancing at Illya's messages in the system network, Miyu could not help speaking up.

After reading Miyu's message, Ai let out a deep sigh. What was an honest person? This was an honest person...

Administrator: "Miyu, Illya isn't this upset because of the reward. You should keep the Noble Phantasm yourself!"

Chu Chen could not help but smile bitterly. Miyu still had not understood why Illya was upset.

She was upset because the system had screwed her over. She felt as though her own system was targeting her, not because of her reward. After all, in Illya's eyes, rewards were not that important. She might care a little, but not enough to cry over them. It was just that whenever everyone received uncertain rewards from check-ins, if someone got the worst reward, everyone would tease that person about their bad luck. But if someone's luck stayed bad for too long, anyone would go crazy.

Like Illya—her luck had recently been terrible to an extreme degree.

Miyu Emiya: "???"

Miyu tilted her head, still unable to understand what Chu Chen meant.

But after seeing Illya respond to her with a smile, Miyu finally relaxed.

So she really was fine... Miyu told herself.

"That's great... Even such a troublesome Caster could be dealt with!"

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia approached Illya and Miyu as they descended from the air.

A trace of amazement appeared on both their faces.

Whether it was Illya's tactics or Miyu's counterattack, both made them feel inferior. Though they could crush Illya and Miyu in terms of experience, they were still astonished by the two girls' battle.

The two really were outstanding talents worth cultivating...

"It looks like we won't need to worry about recovering any of the remaining Class Cards!"

Luvia silently raised a flag. When they faced Berserker, they would probably cry.

And—

"Hey, hey, hey! This isn't the time to say something like that! Don't you know that sentence is basically a flag? The more you say that, the more likely some powerful Servant is going to show up and slap you in the face..."

Chu Chen could not help muttering that, his gaze immediately shifting in a certain direction.

The next moment, an immense surge of magical energy came from the darkness beneath Fuyuki Bridge.

Even Chu Chen's eyelid twitched slightly at the fluctuation of that magical energy. As expected of the Saber class—its overall inherent strength was absolutely at the peak among the seven standard classes. Moreover, the Heroic Spirit materialized by this Class Card was no ordinary Heroic Spirit.

Saber—Artoria Pendragon!

"Huh? What are you talki—"

Before Luvia could finish, her body and expression froze the moment her gaze passed beneath Fuyuki Bridge. Her eyes filled with profound disbelief.

Rin Tohsaka was the same. The moment she looked beneath the bridge, she was utterly stunned.

Rin quickly came to her senses and shot Luvia a furious glare, her heart filled with anxiety.

You damn jinx! Of all times for your words to come true, it had to be now!

We were just saying it. There was no need for one to actually appear!

How had Blackened King Arthur become an experience pack?

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing Chu Chen and the others' reactions, Illya tilted her head slightly, completely confused.

"It's here! This is simply the worst possible situation!"

For once, Ruby spoke in an extremely serious and grave tone.

"Huh? What is it? I still don't understand what happened!"

Illya's head was full of black lines. Could you explain things clearly? Stopping halfway through a sentence was not a good thing!

But very quickly, what happened before her instantly dispelled the confusion in Illya's mind.

Heavy footsteps slowly sounded from beneath Fuyuki Bridge. Even from the footsteps, one could hear a strong metallic quality. Then, very soon, a figure appeared wearing pitch-black armor, gripping a black longsword. Her pretty face was covered by a mask that concealed her eyes and half her face, and an overwhelming pressure radiated from her entire body.

That enormous magical energy made Rin Tohsaka and Luvia shudder in shock.

They simply could not imagine that it came from a Heroic Spirit manifested from a Class Card.

"No way..." Rin stared at the enemy who had suddenly appeared, her mouth hanging open.

"A second enemy!" Luvia was equally shocked, feeling like slapping herself.

Why did I have to say that for no reason? Luvia truly realized just how powerful something called a flag could be.

At this moment, even Miyu, who was always so calm, could not help but feel surprised at the sight.

"Is something like this possible too, Sapphire?"

"Completely beyond expectations..."

It was no wonder. No one would have expected two Heroic Spirits to appear in one Mirror World!

Not to mention them—even Chu Chen would never have imagined there were two Heroic Spirits here if he had not read the original work.

Chu Chen did not attack immediately. He first silently glanced at Illya and Miyu's mission interfaces, and after confirming that the system would not slap him in the face again, he turned his gaze toward Miyu and Illya.

"You two rest for now. You must have used up quite a bit of energy after fighting Caster just now... I'll go play with her!"

As he spoke, Chu Chen somehow pulled out a katana and charged straight toward Saber.

"Teacher Chu Chen!" "Mr. Chu Chen!" Illya and Miyu cried out in alarm.

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia had also wanted to stop Chu Chen, but after thinking it over, they realized that he would not have charged in so casually if he were not confident. Besides, Illya and Miyu really did need a proper rest.

"You two stay here and recover. After that battle, you really need to restore yourselves!"

Rin looked seriously at the two behind her, clutching several gems in her hands, ready to provide support at any moment.

Luvia also prepared to support them at any time with jewel magecraft.

As if sensing Chu Chen's approach, Blackened King Arthur swung her holy sword down at him without hesitation.

A massive mist of magical energy gathered into a crescent-shaped sword wave and rushed toward Chu Chen, as though it would split the space before it in two. It shook the surrounding air and kicked up clouds of dust as it hurtled toward him.

Chu Chen frowned slightly. The space before him immediately twisted, opening into a gap like a doorway.

The crescent-shaped sword wave was instantly swallowed by the opening, and then—

Another opening unfolded behind Blackened King Arthur, and the crescent sword wave blasted out from it toward her. However, she spun around, blocking it with her holy sword.

Taking advantage of the moment Blackened King Arthur turned, Chu Chen had already arrived in front of her and fiercely swung down his katana.

The sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flashing as the two collided.

Feeling the weight pressing down on his hand, Chu Chen frowned slightly. Blackened King Arthur's Mana Burst really was useful!

Still, Chu Chen merely envied that skill. For him, a skill like that could be acquired at any time.

After all, twenty-four hours a day, Chu Chen could potentially obtain any skill or Noble Phantasm from this world.

"My sword can be used like this too!"

As he said that, Chu Chen casually swung his katana. In an instant, blood sprayed.

A gash instantly burst open on Blackened King Arthur's shoulder, and a hint of astonishment appeared on her face.

She seemed surprised that Chu Chen had struck her despite clearly not aiming at her...

"That was—Displacement Magecraft!" Miyu's face showed surprise.

That was the specialty magecraft of the Ainsworth family, so Miyu naturally knew it.

"To think he can beat this Saber into such a state using only close combat and magecraft in combination..."

"What incredible power!"

Although the battle between them looked simple and brutal, merely standing nearby allowed Rin Tohsaka and Luvia to sense how terrifying Chu Chen's opponent—Blackened King Arthur—truly was.

Just their weapons colliding sent waves of force rolling out, sweeping everything around them away.

The fierce winds sweeping through the area crashed into them like ocean waves, forcing Rin Tohsaka and Luvia to pull Illya and Miyu farther back, afraid they would be caught up in the battle.

Facing the holy sword slashing toward his head, Chu Chen had no intention of dodging.

A spatial opening instantly unfolded, and the holy sword struck it heavily. In that instant, Blackened King Arthur felt a sense of danger.

Instinctively, she hurriedly dodged to the side, making Chu Chen curl his lip.

Her instincts were not weak either...

At that moment, Chu Chen more or less understood how strong he was.

Blackened King Arthur's power could not kill him, while he could easily take her down.

With Displacement Magecraft and swordsmanship working together, Chu Chen could basically kill Blackened King Arthur before she even had time to draw her holy sword.

Even if she released the holy sword in her hand, Chu Chen had a way to forcibly stop her from using her Noble Phantasm. That was—

"Petrification Mystic Eyes!"

Chu Chen's eyes instantly changed completely, gleaming with rainbow light like jewels.

The immense pressure rendered Blackened King Arthur completely unable to move. Not only that, the Mystic Eyes caused her feet to begin petrifying, the stone gradually spreading upward.

These were the Petrification Mystic Eyes Chu Chen had chosen from Miyu's reward yesterday. He had also raised them straight to the highest level, the Rainbow Mystic Eyes. Furthermore, Artoria Alter's magical energy had declined compared to her original self, so facing Chu Chen's Petrification Mystic Eyes, Artoria could only obediently be petrified.

A flash of cold light passed by, and a huge hole instantly appeared in Blackened King Arthur's chest.

Slowly, Blackened King Arthur, killed in a single strike by Chu Chen, began to dissolve into particles of light.

Chu Chen extended his right hand, and those particles transformed back into the appearance of the original Class Card.

Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka and the others behind him were all dumbfounded.

The essence of humanity was that everyone loved what they once rejected!

"Miyu, were you hurt just now? Blocking that attack from her could not have felt good, right?"

Chu Chen's eyes were full of concern. Miyu had looked relaxed when she blocked the attack earlier, but—

That did not mean Miyu had not been injured... That was why Chu Chen asked about her condition after the battle ended.

Miyu shook her head. There was nothing wrong with her. Her defenses were quite reliable.

However, after answering Chu Chen, Miyu could not help glancing at him.

There was no helping it. What had happened with the Class Cards today had truly shocked everyone.

Especially Rin Tohsaka and Luvia. This was the first time they had witnessed Chu Chen's abilities.

Rare Mystic Eyes, exquisite swordsmanship capable of contending with Saber, masterful Displacement Magecraft...

Those three alone were enough to leave Rin Tohsaka and Luvia deeply amazed.

But this also indirectly confirmed one thing for Rin Tohsaka and Luvia: Chu Chen was probably not interested in the Class Cards.
