I Created the Holy Grail War, Shocking the World Chapter 15

This is really dangerous. My current strength isn't enough at all…

The road ahead is long and winding, but I will seek out my path.

Alright, time to keep a low profile and build up my strength!

He raised an eyebrow slightly and casually pocketed the blood-red jade bead.

Sensing a burning gaze fixed upon him, Luo Shu smiled and turned, speaking gently to the beautiful girl in the sailor uniform:

"Miss Higurashi, let's go. I'll take you home."

"Mhm… Mhm!!"

Kagome lowered her head, feeling guilty as if she'd stolen something, the blush still lingering on her face.

He walked beside her, strolling leisurely towards the city under the moonlight.

The two of them gradually faded into the distance.

Leaving behind a devastated Great Forest.

A short while later…

"Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp…!!"

Accompanied by the sound of neat marching, hundreds of official personnel in dark orange uniforms arrived.

They were members of the Chiba City Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, armed with demon-exterminating weapons, their expressions serious, giving off a sense of impending doom. The bureau had mobilized everyone, even pulling in civilian staff to make up the numbers.

Such a grand display indicated just how dangerous the situation was about to become.

Immediately, the troops parted in the middle, creating a wide passage.

Isayama Yomina emerged from the passage. She wore black thigh-high socks, wielded the Divine Blade Lion King, and the massive spiritual beast Nue accompanied her, radiating a chilling aura.

Yomina frowned as she looked at the ravaged land, her expression grave.

Then, she bent down and squatted on the ground, smearing some dirt with her index finger and bringing it to her fair nose to sniff. Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she stood up.

Although the soil retained a faint aura of evil spirits, it dissipated rapidly like boundless water.

Undoubtedly, this could only happen if the evil spirit had been vanquished.

"An A-class evil spirit… eliminated?!"

Isayama Yomina's eyes widened in shock, her chest heaving with astonishment.

After all, the time from the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau detecting the A-class evil spirit's spiritual waves to gathering all personnel might have been less than half an hour. To eliminate an evil spirit in such a short time was simply incredible!

That was a top-tier evil spirit capable of causing a disaster and threatening the entire city.

Neon ranked disasters alphabetically: A-class, B-class, C-class, D-class…

A-class evil spirits were the strongest on record.

Even though Isayama Yomina was a preeminent powerhouse in Neon's demon-extermination world, she wasn't confident she could defeat an A-class evil spirit. Even fighting alongside hundreds of demon-slayers, there was a high chance of dying there.

She had already considered this battle her last fight.

But then…

This A-class evil spirit had inexplicably died…

Killed by someone unknown in an extremely short period.

She gazed ahead blankly, recalling the scent from the soil, and her expression suddenly changed drastically, filled with horror.

"No… this scent is wrong…"

"It's the scent of the Life-Killing Stone!!"

"Disband the team immediately! I need to report tonight's events to headquarters!"

Isayama Yomina commanded sternly, her expression terrifyingly shocked.

Compared to the appearance of a new Life-Killing Stone, the emergence of an A-class evil spirit was somewhat ordinary.

Everyone exchanged glances, unsure of what had happened.

While bewildered, the members of the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau secretly breathed a sigh of relief…

They probably wouldn't have to face a terrifying evil spirit now.

Under the agent's command, the personnel quickly ran back towards the bureau.

Isayama Yomina remained in place, staring blankly at the moon hanging in the sky.

For some reason, the mysterious person who vanquished the evil spirit tonight reminded her of something.

It seemed that the Black Hole Phenomenon at Happiness Villa last time was also inexplicably resolved by someone.

Could both these incidents be the work of the same person?

"Who exactly are you…"

The girl with long black hair murmured to herself, her feelings more complex than ever.

A gentle breeze ruffled the ends of her hair.

Tonight, the moon was as clear as water.

20. The Command Spells resonance system is activated, the Sky Screen appears, shaking the world!

Chiba City, Happiness Villa.

The long night dragged on, and the sky gradually showed a hint of dawn.

In the bedroom, a young man dressed in a moon-white feathered robe scratched his head in distress, fiddling with a smooth, blood-red jade bead in his hand – the Life-Killing Stone.

"Seriously, what should I do with this thing?"

After escorting Kagome safely to Higurashi Shrine, Luo Shu returned to his rented apartment.

Following the battle in the Great Forest of Mount Nokogiri, he had manifested the one-time skill [Secret Sword: Swallow Return] on himself, easily slaying the A-class evil spirit that was endangering the city. However, this had cost him about seven hundred Divine Authority Jade.

This was still because the PV for Fate/staynight had aired, giving many people a clear visual impression of the Swallow Return used by Sasaki Kojiro.

Otherwise, it would have cost at least three hundred more Divine Authority Jade.

Although the consumption was high, after accumulating over one night, more and more people worldwide had entered the Observer Net and become loyal fans of Fate/staynight, contributing a lot of Divine Authority Jade through their belief and admiration.

At this moment, his Divine Authority Jade accumulation had reached 7256.14!

And with the snowball effect, the growth rate was getting faster and faster.

It had reached the critical point for creating the Sky Screen.

However, he had to figure out how to deal with the [Life-Killing Stone] first.

Using it on himself was definitely not an option. The Life-Killing Stone possessed a profound demonic nature, which would subtly turn him into a murderer.

Even if he could use Divine Authority Jade to remove the side effects, dealing with a treasure from the fourth-tier domain would require tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Divine Authority Jade.

Doing so would be too extravagant, especially since he was still very poor right now.

The young man crossed his arms and fell into thought, then suddenly asked the silver ripple.

"Void, if I want to use the Life-Killing Stone as an energy source to create Heroic Spirits from the Fate series, is it feasible?"

"Buzz buzz buzz... (Deducing...)."

On the left side of his vision, the silver ripple stirred excitedly and quickly provided an answer.

Feasible!

The essence of the Life-Killing Stone was a cluster of energy polymers.

It inherently possessed the concepts of positive and negative poles, containing both the deep resentment of the Nine-Tailed Fox at the time of its death and vast amounts of harmless pure energy.

This was also why holders of the "Life-Killing Stone" easily fell into madness.

When using the power of the evil dragon, one's own neck would also grow reverse scales.

The two were intertwined, almost inseparable.

It was very difficult to perfectly separate the malevolent energy from the pure energy.

But Void had an alternative solution!

Luo Shu could choose to spend two thousand Divine Authority Jade to implant a Heroic Spirit mode into the Life-Killing Stone!

After successful implantation, he could use its malevolent energy to summon Heroic Spirits. When the Heroic Spirits died in battle, their malevolent energy would dissipate into the world, leaving behind the pure energy to be recycled and used to promote his own advancement.

At the minimum cost, he could obtain powerful bodyguards with strength comparable to the fourth tier.

And when the bodyguards died, they could drop loot!

It was awesome!

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Luo Shu's lips curved slightly upwards, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

But then, he seemed to recall something and fell into thought again.

Wait...

Since he was already preparing to expose the "parallel world" Holy Grail War through the Sky Screen...

Why shouldn't he act as a behind-the-scenes mastermind and initiate a Holy Grail War in the real world too?

While shocking the world, he could also increase the credibility of the Fate series!

Under normal circumstances, it would cost him at least several million Divine Authority Jade to create seven Servants in reality.

But now it was different.

He could get it for free!

He could organize a grand Holy Grail War using the abundant resources of reality.

Although Luo Shu didn't have millions of Divine Authority Jade, others also had Life-Killing Stones!

He remembered that in Ga-Rei: Zero, there were nine "Life-Killing Stones" scattered across the world.

A total of five people have possessed a Life-Killing Stone.

These are Kagura's father, Kagura, Mikawa To, Yomina's older sister, and Yomina.

Although the Life-Killing Stone possessed by Kagura and her father was the same one, Mikawa To had his own, and the Life-Killing Stone possessed by Isayama Yomina and her sister was the same one, a fourth Life-Killing Stone never appeared in the entire anime...

However, theoretically, it's possible to summon up to nine Heroic Spirits in reality.

Whoever obtains a Life-Killing Stone can summon a Heroic Spirit.

Once the Heroic Spirits descend and begin to fight on the grand stage of reality, it would absolutely stun the entire world!

He just needed to calmly act as a hidden schemer, sitting pretty on the fishing platform.

Every time a Servant died, he would go and collect the pure energy.

This way, he would earn Divine Authority Jade and obtain massive resources.

It was like Qin Shi Huang touching a live wire – he was absolutely winning!

Luo Shu rubbed his chin with his index finger, a slight smile gracing his lips, the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously.

However, the prerequisite for all of this to happen was that he could influence the other Life-Killing Stones scattered around the world through the one he held.

He asked softly:

"Void, can you implant the Heroic Spirit mode into this Life-Killing Stone for me, and also create a resonance system so that other Life-Killing Stones will have the same effect?"

"Buzz! (Yes, but it will consume an additional two hundred Divine Authority Jade)."

Silver ripples spread out, very obediently.

"Then OK, proceed with this plan directly."

Luo Shu nodded with satisfaction.

Upon receiving the command, Void began to consume Divine Authority Jade. An invisible glow enveloped and permeated the blood-red jade bead, starting to reshape its internal structure, with mysterious energy continuously seeping out.
