Chapter 125 Post-War Analysis

 Chi Yao stabilized his body in the air, used air currents to retrieve Xiao Zuo in mid-air, and said to Ya Ya, "Well done."

Ya Ya shouted anxiously: "Bing ying ying!"

Yaya meant that Chi Yao should retreat quickly because the enemy in front of them could not be dealt with right now.

Chi Yao still had 48% of his health left. He took out the remaining portion of recovery item fried dumplings and swallowed them together, then used water healing and light healing techniques to quickly heal his injuries.

"Facing an enemy of this speed, running away with your back turned is not a wise choice." Chi Yao said, holding the reverse luck tightly and looking at Yingchi standing in the deep pit of the sewer from afar.

Yingchi's eyes flashed, and he quickly turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the sewer.

"It actually ran away? Why?" Chi Yao was a little confused. Shadow Chi had the advantage in strength, but it actually retreated at this time?

With a crisp "click" sound, the barrier covering this area began to fade and disappear, and the time of Tamamonomae's barrier treasure ended!

[Hint: Violator No. 26482 has left the one-kilometer range. ]

"Could it be that its target is Tamamonomae?!" Chi Yao realized the problem and immediately rushed towards Tamamonomae's location.

When Chi Yao saw that Tamamonomae was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, are you okay? I will help you heal. This is the healing of love~" Tamamonomae looked at the injuries on Chi Yao's body and asked with concern. By the way, he applied the BUFF effect again and added the healing effect.

"It's not a big deal. You didn't encounter that enemy just now, did you?" Chi Yao looked at Xiao Zuo who was interrupted again and again, and felt a little accustomed to it.

"No. The black shadow took advantage of the fact that the barrier was almost finished and broke through and escaped in that direction." Tamamonomae waved the Inari in his hand and pointed in a direction.

Chi Yao looked over, his eyes fixed, and looked far away in the direction Tamamonomae pointed. That was the direction of Ryudo Temple!

That's where the spiritual vein of Fuyuki City is!

"Sure enough, that Shadow Tooth guy must have other goals. This also explains why it suddenly appeared as soon as I arrived here to attack the Toosaka family." Looking at the Toosaka Manor that had completely turned into a crater, and the surrounding streets that had been turned into ruins by the battle, Chi Yao analyzed.

"Let's retreat first. The noise we made just now is already quite loud. We can't be targeted by the Magic Association and the Holy Church." Chi Yao and Tamamonomae quickly left the scene, used photon invisibility and illusion to cover their tracks, and returned to the inn where they were resting. Tamamonomae had already enchanted this place and turned it into a magic workshop to a certain extent.

Chi Yao sat on the bed, looking at Xiao Zuo who had been treated, and was impressed by Tamamonomae's comprehensive abilities, which could cure this.

"Migu, of course. As long as I have love for the Master, I can exert 300% of my strength!" Tamamonomae said with a smile, "Master must be hungry. Please have a good rest. I will go cook first."

Chi Yao stroked his chin and continued to analyze the previous battle and intelligence: "Just when I was about to kill Tohsaka Tokiomi, Shadow Chi showed up and protected him. And there was no trace of Tohsaka Tokiomi afterwards. I guess that Tohsaka Tokiomi was taken into the shadow by Shadow Chi for protection."

"But what does it need Tohsaka Tokiomi for? The identity of the head of the Tohsaka family? No, Shadowfang's target should be Gilgamesh. The summoning circle was destroyed by the aftermath, and the ancient snake slough in it also disappeared. I thought it was destroyed at first, but now I think it has been taken away by Shadowfang!"

"Then it makes sense! My attack on the Tousaka family was an accidental move for Shadowtooth, but it actually had a lucky influence. I was about to destroy the key to Shadowtooth's plan!"

"The fact that Shadowfang was able to instantly emerge from the shadow and save Tohsaka Tokiomi also means that it has actually been paying attention to Tohsaka Tokiomi's situation!"

"Shadowfang went to Liudong Temple later. Could it be that its target is the Holy Grail in the spirit vein of Liudong Temple?"

"The Holy Grail is no longer an omnipotent wish-granting machine. According to the setting of Fate/Zero, the Holy Grail has been contaminated and distorted by the evil of this world and has become a vicious and twisted wish-granting machine."

"From the previous battle, it can be seen that the knowledge between Shadow Tooth's contractor consciousness and main body consciousness is not interoperable, but they have common experience memories."

"That main body consciousness can actually speak first-order words. It is most likely some kind of void creature."

"Moreover, Shadow Fang's methods are strange, mainly relying on mental pollution and physical distortion. Fortunately, my destiny of inertia has kept me from being affected."

"Perhaps Shadowfang's goal is the black mud in the Holy Grail that symbolizes the evil of this world?"

"Let me make another bold guess. Gilgamesh is the only character in the original novel who was not affected by the pollution of the black mud. Instead, he gained a physical body because of the black mud!"

"It makes sense. Shadowfang's goal is to use Gilgamesh to get his hands on the power of the black mud."

"Shadowfang wants to use the power of black mud to strengthen itself! Or Shadowfang's consciousness wants to restore its strength!"

Chi Yao roughly sorted out a fairly reasonable guess, "It seems that the hunting mission and the main mission have collided. Let's find someone to form an alliance with first. I can't beat you alone, so I'll get some help!"

-

On the other side.

The black shadow transformed by Shadow Tooth quickly passed through the streets and followed the sewer pipes to a relatively open area.

Yingchi sat down against the wall, covering the gap on his right hand. The shadow's power surged, but the wound was not affected at all. "Damn it! I just hibernated for a while, and when I woke up, I encountered such an enemy? What kind of monster did you provoke? The first level can damage the origin! Don't even think about recovering from this injury in this world!"

A small mouth opened on Shadow Tooth's cheek, and the originally aggrieved voice of "Shadow Tooth" came out of it, "Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on Tohsaka Tokiomi? He is the key to our plan. That guy rushed to the Tohsaka family and wanted to kill Tohsaka Tokiomi after a disagreement, so I couldn't do anything."

"I guess that guy is a hunter from Paradise. He suddenly attacked the Tohsaka family just to lure us out. Did he guess our plan?"

Shadowtooth said in disbelief.

"That guy, a mage with proficiency in close combat and the versatility of a lone wolf, does look a lot like a hunter. But our plan is foolproof, how could it be discovered? And I got both Tousaka Tokiomi and the Ancient Snake Sheath back."

As Shadowfang spoke, the black shadow beneath him surged, spitting out the unconscious Tousaka Tokiomi and an ancient snake skin.

"With them, we can obtain the power of the Holy Grail that has been contaminated by the evil of this world! At that time, that first-level hunter will have no choice but to become our shadow slave!" Shadow Tooth laughed wildly.

Just when the atmosphere was just right, Shadowtooth asked a question that silenced both parties, "In your current situation, are you sure you can handle Gilgamesh?"

"." Looking at the wounds on his body that had not healed for a long time and his upper limit of health being limited to 140%, Shadow Tooth fell silent.
