Volume 5: Return to Donghua Chapter 72: Infinite Sword and Piercing Death Thorns
In the morning, Qi Ji opened his eyes, opened the transcendence panel and looked at the skill called Infinite Sword Making, and found that the additional cost was not high.
Perhaps it is because this Infinite Sword System is essentially just a relatively simple basic magic of "projection magic" trained to the extreme, the cost is not even as expensive as that terrifying petrifying magic eye.
[Transcendence: Qi Ji]
[Transcendence: 209990]
[Skills: Unlimited Swordplay·Incomplete (0/1000)]
Qi Ji lowered his head, and a deep blue light emerged from his hands. That was the light effect produced when the extraordinary factor was converted and used with the concept of "magic power".
The next second, the magic power intertwined and formed into a familiar long blade in his hand.
Immortal Slash.
Not the real one he included in his collection of transcendent skills.
Instead, it is a fake created using magic projection.
He weighed it and found that the projected Immortal Sword was exactly the same as the real thing in appearance, weight, sharpness, etc., but it lacked the most core special ability.
It is impossible to restrain the immortal creatures, and even more unable to condense the kind of miasma that can burn all living things.
It seems that the most basic Infinite Sword System is essentially just an impractical creation skill. Don't expect to be able to produce the kind of effect of mental landscape eroding reality that Emiya has.
Without any hesitation, he raised his skill level to the maximum.
[Transcendence: 209990→208990→205990→200990]
[Infinite Blade Works: Degenerate → Infinite Blade Works: Ultimate (cannot be upgraded)]
[Obtained skill branches: restoration, transformation, mental image world]
[Obtain the secret: Fantasy Collapse]
[Restoration: Although the projected weapon is a fake, the caster can inject magic power into the projected weapon to make it have similar abilities to the original weapon, but the strength will be reduced by one level. At the same time, the caster can also obtain the combat skills of the original user from the weapon.]
[Transformation: A projection magic of the advanced level. The caster can use magic to transform the projected weapons into a form more suitable for their own use, and improve their performance to a certain extent.]
[Mindscape World: The ultimate projection magic, projecting the mindscape of one's own heart into reality, forming a large inherent barrier that isolates reality. In the inherent barrier, the practitioner can freely use all the weapons that have been projected with extremely low consumption, and can even use the weapons as flying props to shoot enemies.]
[Fantasy Collapse: Destroy the projected weapon and instantly increase its power by exploding it. Since the power caused by the explosion is too great, it is usually detonated after the weapon is fired.]
The profound insights into the skills were engraved in Qi Ji's mind, and he immediately understood the principles behind the various magical skills that Emiya could use when fighting with him.
It can only be said that the essence of this skill is indeed not as powerful as the petrified devil's eye, which is like a god or demon.
This is just a super skill that Emiya himself sublimated from the basic skills of projection magic, which is very common in that world, through his own high compatibility with this magic and hard work to the extreme level.
It's Emiya himself who's powerful, not that kind of magic.
…
Another day passed, and this day arrived when Yuxujiang had notified the powerful men from all major forces to gather.
Qi Ji opened his eyes and sat up in his room.
Since defeating Emiya and obtaining the Infinite Sword System the night before, he challenged the Secret Record of Reincarnation again last night.
This time the opponent is a spearman wearing a blue tights and holding a red spear.
There is no need to elaborate on the battle process.
To put it simply, judging from hand-to-hand combat alone, the blue spearman who calls himself Cu Chulainn is even better than Emiya and the witch with the petrifying eyes.
There is a slight gap compared to Sasaki Kojiro, but Cu Chulainn's physical fitness and his special skills are stronger than Sasaki Kojiro.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong he is, he has no way to defeat Qi Ji, whose physical functions have far exceeded the standards of that world.
After a brief test between the two sides, Qi Ji burst out with all his strength, suppressing and killing Cu Chulainn.
But at the last moment, Cu Chulainn gave Qi Ji a hard blow.
His ultimate move, or secret technique, which he himself calls his "Noble Phantasm".
The move was called "Piercing Death Thorn Spear". With one strike, it ignored Qi Ji's blocking and dodging and instantly pierced Qi Ji's heart.
Unfortunately, with Qi Ji's current physical strength, even if his heart was pierced, it would not affect his movements for a while.
After calmly killing Cu Chulainn, who was already in a complete disadvantage, with his heartless body, Qi Ji received refreshing treatment from the Tower of Transcendence and became full of energy again.
Even without the treatment from the Tower of Transcendence, he could still quickly recover to normal after the treatment by releasing the power of sunlight on himself with his own healing authority.
If all else fails, you can spend 2,000 points of transcendence to use the Spiral Sword's Fire King mode to achieve full status.
There is no doubt that compared with Cu Chulainn's other skills, Qi Ji decisively chose this skill which is both a weapon and a treasure as his trophy.
[Gray of Greed - Kayaborg (0/1000): Kayaborg is a magic spear held by the Celtic mythological hero Cu Chulainn. After Cu Chulainn was transformed into a Servant, it was redesigned based on his use of the magic spear, becoming his unique Noble Phantasm.]
What else can I say? It's a legendary magic gun. If you can add points to it, it would be unreasonable not to max it out.
Another ten thousand points were spent to upgrade the magic gun to its complete state.
The fully upgraded magic spear granted two branches of skills, one of which he had personally experienced before, which was a rapid assassination that could instantly hit the heart with one strike.
The other is the spear throwing method. Although it does not have the special effect of reversing cause and effect to hit the heart, it is actually the real use of this gun. It is a trick that can release the maximum power to cause long-range attacks.
[Lance of Piercing Death Thorns: Reverses cause and effect, with the "effect" of hitting the heart as the premise, determining the "cause" of swinging the spear to attack. Because the result is already determined, normal defense and avoidance are meaningless no matter what you do.]
[Piercing Death Spear: Unleashes the full power of the magic spear, consuming all the magic power in the body at once, and causing a super throwing attack that causes terrifying wide-range penetration damage based on the consumed magic power]
After carefully looking at the effects of this magic spear branch skill, Qi Ji finally understood why he was unable to dodge his opponent's final thrust last night.
Feelings are a cheating weapon that plays on the law of cause and effect.
From now on, there will be one more permanent weapon. Based on instinct, compared with the second javelin technique, the first one that is sure to hit the heart consumes much less extraordinary factors, so low that it can even be used as a regular combat skill.
What else is there to say? Next time you encounter an enemy, especially one like the fifth-level transcendent from the outer realm whose strength is mainly concentrated in the outer realm, just shoot a piercing death thorn at them and that's it.
Just like that, while he was studying his newly acquired skills, there was a knock on his door.
I opened the door and the person knocking was the girl named Yingci.
She glanced at Qi Ji, then lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Master Yu asked you to go to the outer demon star below for a gathering. He said that the leaders of all the major forces have arrived."
Finally here.
Qi Ji nodded and was about to set off.
Yingci hesitated for a moment and asked, "You took away my and my mechanical man's infinite energy crystals, can you give them back to me?"
Qi Ji smiled and glanced at her, then said, "You don't need to fight for now, just do your scientific research well."
Ying Ci was a little anxious and said, "Some of the next research will require the use of infinite energy crystals with lower power. The energy crystals in the Immortal Palace itself are too large and difficult to use."
Qi Ji thought for a moment, then took out an orange-gold crystal that was smaller in color and size than the two crystals of Ying Ci and her mechanical man, and threw it to her: "Then you can use this one first."
Yingci took it, looked at it carefully, his face changed and he said nothing more.
This infinite energy crystal is exactly the "Infinite Energy Crystal (Fake)" that Qi Ji took out from Teacher Namu's armor after killing him.
As for the remaining better infinite energy crystal, that thing is worth 50,000 transcendence degrees, how can I possibly return it?
