Enhance the Red Dragon's physique, power skyrocketing, Gewei...
"Plan successful! In just half a day, the power of divine authority has increased tenfold—it's absolutely exhilarating!"
Inside the happiness manor, a young boy clad in pale moonlight attire wore a brilliant smile. As a silver ripple danced to the left of his vision, an information panel appeared once more.

He's struck gold!
Absolutely struck gold!
Luo Shu could clearly feel countless emotions of faith converging from around the world, forming a terrifying vortex that poured into the silver ripple, as if crushed into powder by a stone mill.
After countless refinements, this ultimately culminated in the silver "Universal Power"...
"Like the Moon Rabbit grinding herbs…"
He observed the scene with interest, recalling famous ancient poetry.
The emotions of all beings were akin to herbal medicine, while his golden finger, Void, was the Moon Rabbit.
The two complemented each other, and this analogy fit perfectly.
"At this rate, I should be able to create the Heavenly Veil by tomorrow morning."
The boy muttered to himself, his finger rubbing his chin.
In this perilous world, he planned to use his divine authority to elevate himself to the extraordinary.
Although, once the Fate/stay night film officially aired and he appeared, strengthening his reality then would save a lot of divine authority. But what if he encountered danger in the meantime?
This was a world overrun with malevolent spirits and demons from Japanese anime!
To put it bluntly, despite holding thousands of divine authority, he was still fundamentally a mortal.
If he had bad luck and got hit by a truck on the road, he'd certainly die on the spot.
At that moment, there wouldn't even be a place for him to cry.
So, it was wise to spend carefully when necessary.
Safety was paramount; his future was still bright, and dying out of stinginess would be a joke.
As the boy pondered, he suddenly asked:
"Void, how much divine authority would I need to become a powerhouse on the level of Hōjō Shingen?"
"Buzzing… (Calculating…)"
"Buzzing buzzing… (Estimated requirement: 1796.41 divine authority)"
The beautiful silver ripple in the void quickly provided an answer.
"Whoa, that much?"
Luo Shu was taken aback.
He remembered when he encountered Isayama Yomi's, the calculation showed he could defeat her with just 275.6 divine authority.
Why would it require a four-digit amount to elevate himself to her level?
In response to the boy's inquiry, Void answered without hesitation.
In the absence of external factors, Isayama Yomi's strength rivaled that of an extraordinary peak (Level 2). When she went all out, she could destroy an entire commercial street, and yet she was also the heir of the demon-hunting family, Izanami's.
With the "family heirloom," the divine sword Lion King…!
With control over the divine sword, Isayama Yomi stepped into an even stronger Level 3 domain.
Using characters from Fate/stay night as a reference, she would be equivalent to 0.1 units of Sasaki Kojirō.
However, a sword is a sword, and a person is a person.
To kill Isayama Yomi, one doesn't necessarily need to shatter the divine sword Lion King.
After all, humans are inherently fragile.
If Isayama Yomi were to be struck in the throat, no matter how powerful the weapon, it would be useless.
"I see…"
Luo Shu scratched his head.
In that case, he couldn't use Isayama Yomi's as a template for enhancement. After all, her strength relied heavily on her sword. It would feel like a loss to slightly strengthen his body and then manifest the divine sword Lion King.
He thought for a moment and mused aloud.
"Void, using the template of King Arthur from Fate/stay night, with 1596.41 divine authority, manifest the Red Dragon physique within me; a diluted version is fine."
"Also, spend another 200 divine authority to manifest Isayama Yomi's combat experience and sword techniques."
"Buzzing… (As you command!)"
The silver ripple surged, divine authority began to deplete, and an unseen glow enveloped, permeated, and purified his body.
The boy slowly closed his eyes, the cuffs of his pale robe swaying in the breeze.
In an instant, like a flood breaking through a dam, countless chaotic fragments of memory flooded into his mind. He found himself in an ancient demon-hunting family, as the most gifted child, practicing sword techniques day and night.
Simultaneously, his muscle resilience was continuously enhancing, and his spirit grew stronger.
In a heartbeat, Luo Shu became a battle-hardened sword master.
He could effortlessly replicate all of Isayama Yomi's combat techniques.
Even the muscle memory from her years of diligent practice was now his.
Along with that came Isayama Yomi's extensive knowledge. Whether dealing with brutal demons or vengeful spirits wreaking havoc in the city, he tackled each as if he had personally experienced it.
In an instant, he transformed from a complete novice into a demon-hunting expert.
Clearly, he had become a freeloading master!
At the same time, his soul and physical strength soared dramatically.
"Bang! Bang bang!!"
Suddenly, powerful heartbeats echoed around him, like a slumbering beast awakening.
The boy clenched his fists, and in an instant, a Red Dragon's heart manifested within him, and his handsome features took on a divine glow. The dark hair cascading down the sides of his face resembled dragon whiskers, exuding an aura of ancient majesty that spread through the air. At that moment, several moths in the room settled on the chandelier, trembling with fear.
This was the natural intimidation of a higher life form over a lower one; even insects sensed an instinctive dread.
Time seemed to stretch on…
When Luo Shu finally came to his senses, the world before him had transformed completely.
He felt as if he had been reborn; his body felt better than ever. Everything around him was vibrant, colors more vivid, and sounds lively and engaging.
The boy looked down, his gaze lost as he stared at his hands.
He could clearly sense the explosive power contained within!
A vast reservoir of magical energy flowed through him, ready to unleash destruction at a moment's notice.

"Absolutely amazing, invincible!"
Luo Shu raised an eyebrow and smiled gently.
With his current strength, survival in this dangerous world would be much more feasible.
Outside the window, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and it would be a while before dawn arrived.
The boy fell into thought, contemplating whether to play a game to pass the time.
"Beep beep beep—."
Suddenly, his Apple phone vibrated beside him.
"Hmm? Who's messaging me at this hour?"
Luo Shu was a bit surprised and quickly picked up his phone, pressing the left-side button.
The screen lit up instantly, and a social app, LINE, flashed repeatedly.
Curious, he opened the app to see a profile picture of a high school girl in a sailor uniform—one of the clients from that day's fortune-telling session. She had sent him four messages in quick succession, seeming quite anxious.
["I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die…"]
["Mage Luo, help me! Save me!"]
["A malevolent spirit is going to kill me!!"]
["1 person is sharing their real-time location."]
—The source of the messages: Natsume Gewei.
"?"
Seeing the messages, Luo Shu was momentarily confused.
Isn't your place where the Bone-Eating Well monsters come from? Where did this malevolent spirit come from?
…Did she have a run-in with bad luck?
Without hesitation, Luo Shu walked towards the roadside, deep in thought as he headed to the shared location.
He didn't mind lending a hand to save a girl.
But if the malevolent spirit turned out to be too powerful, he wouldn't hesitate to make a speedy exit, leaving her behind.
