Chapter 8 The End of a Killer and a Leap of Faith
Alps top
"So, can you tell me the answer?" After arriving at the top of the mountain, Ryunosuke Uyu turned around and asked, ignoring his sore legs.
"That's natural." Shuo Yue glanced at the haystack beside the orange-haired young man as if casually.
The looming black travel bag there and the climbing process that Ryunosuke Uyu was overly familiar with undoubtedly proved his suspicion.
Thanks to this, Shuo Yue's smile became completely cold and heartless.
"Trace on."
It was not Shirou Emiya's favorite black and white sword, Ganshou Moye, but an ordinary short sword.
With Ryuunosuke Ubui unable to react, Sakuzuki approached him at a speed that was weakened but still exceeded that of an ordinary person, and then stretched out his hand - thrust out the sword.
The blade penetrated Ryunosuke Uyu's abdomen and stayed there coldly.
The wind on the mountaintop seemed to have stopped, and only the sound of blood leaving the body helplessly was so clear.
"Look at that." Picking up a pool of clear red spring water, Sakuyue put his palms close to Yusheng Ryunosuke's eyes, whispering like a devil, "This is my answer, this is what you are looking for, Yusheng Ryunosuke."
Yu Sheng Ryunosuke's eyes widened and he stared intently at the thing slowly passing in his palm.
"Wow……"
red. A bright red color with no impurities at all.
It was the original color he had been exploring, so bright and sparkling.
That's it - Ryunosuke suddenly understood, and a smile appeared on his purple lips.
This is the real "red" that he searched everywhere and dug in many places but could not find it.
The red color gradually faded, not only the palms, but also the white-haired young man (the devil) walked away without any hesitation.
But Ryunosuke Ubui has found the answer.
He gently hugged his bleeding belly lovingly.
"I see... no wonder I never noticed..."
As the saying goes, the road is far away but close at hand. I didn't expect that the thing I had been looking for for a long time was hidden so close to me. Ryunosuke's mind was intoxicated by the secretions that kept pouring out of his brain. He knelt on the ground as if he had ascended to heaven, and tremblingly pulled out the travel bag from the haystack at his feet.
After opening the zipper, scalpels, nails, hammers...all the instruments of punishment fell out with a clanking sound, glowing with iron and stained with blood.
The young man with the dagger stuck in his belly struggled to pick them up and sent them towards him without hesitation.
Cut open the flesh and squeeze out the blood.
This was originally a "gift" that Ryuunosuke Ubu was going to give to Sakuzuki, but now he has used it all on himself.
In the distance, Sakuyue watched Yuyu Ryunosuke's self-mutilation behavior from a distance, with no fluctuation in his golden pupils.
The panel of the Destiny Illustrated Book unfolded faintly.
【002：Ame Ryuunosuke】
[Character Information]: The innocent murderer...
[Hidden Information]: Although he commits crimes everywhere, he has his own job. He is never interested in the victims' money and makes money by himself during the day. In the end, he discovers that the death he is pursuing is in his own body, and begins to self-mutilation.
[Recording conditions (1/1)]:
1. Kill Ryunosuke Ubu (achieved)
[Record condition 1 has been achieved, and the reward is obtained: the ability parameter "durability" returns to normal! 】
【Durability D→C】
With a pleasant moan coming from her body, Shuo Yue stretched her body and felt that her body was much stronger.
"The conditions have been met, which also means..."
Looking up, the man named "Usei Ryunosuke" had empty eyes, his fingers tightly clenched the knife, mechanically leaving scars on his body.
The blood had drained out, but there was still a stiff smile on his face.
It's like an ukiyo-e painting of hell.
...Shuo Yue silently withdrew his gaze.
Although it is a good thing for a murderer to die early, but to do this when he first came to this world, and to kill his "savior" with his own hands... Although I don't regret it, I still feel a little unhappy.
It's like wearing a freshly laundered white shirt and getting splashed with mud by a passing tractor.
unlucky.
In this case... The young man turned his eyes and landed on the cliff not far away, his golden eyes lighting up little by little.
In this case, let’s use traditional arts to wash away the dirt on our bodies.
Facing the rising sun, the young man's eyes were bright and he started running towards the cliff.
Crossing the cool wind, crossing the grassy ground, and facing the clean blue sky, I opened my arms——
"Wuhu——!"
Amidst shouts of excitement, the white-haired young man jumped out and fell from the peak of 4158 meters above sea level!
Behind him, a half-kneeling figure fell to the ground dejectedly. The blood gradually dried up under the sun, like a broken red pomegranate.
The killer who loved cheetahs died.
And the newborn eagle fell from the top of the mountain, facing this beautiful world, and let out its first loud cry:
"Believe - believe - leap!!!!"
————
Five days later, the Zugspitze area
The north wind was howling, the sky was covered with heavy snow, and the temperature was at a record low. In this harsh weather that even the German soldiers guarding the border were unbearable, a figure crossed the border between Austria and Germany and invaded the no man's land here.
This is an inaccessible wilderness, and at the same time, it is also the boundary between mystery and the ordinary world.
The building called "Winter City" is where the Einzbern family, one of the three Holy Grail families and a participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War, is sealed off from the world.
As the abnormal flow of magic power dissipated and the last magic base was dismantled, the young man with golden eyes, Sakutsuki, stood up and wiped the non-existent sweat on his face.
"Huh... It's finally solved. The Einzbern family is indeed a large family that has been passed down for thousands of years. I'm afraid even the patriarch can't remember how many defensive barriers they have set up?"
Yes, after taking a leap of faith from the Jungfrau in the Alps, Sakutsuki followed the trajectory of the spirit vein and came to the vicinity of Winter City, and began his stealth activities without anyone noticing.
For him who has watched the plot of Fate Zero, how could he not be interested in the Einzbern family and Kiritsugu PaPa who is now staying here?
You know, this "partner of justice" is the adoptive father of the original body, the ruthless man who cut the Holy Grail in this Holy Grail War.
As for why he didn't just go into the Winter City with his unparalleled skills, but chose to sneak in with such a troublesome method, there was a reason.
Shuoyue raised his eyes, and the blue panel showed the previous records.
That was the reward for achieving Angelica's record conditions.
[Hidden record conditions 3* have been achieved, and the reward is: Replacement magic·modified! ]
[Replacement magic·modified: A+]
[As one of the entry-level magics, the principle is a lower-level basic magic of degraded exchange. Not many people use it, but in the hands of a family that specializes in this, the scale, precision, and application range of replacement magic are beyond common sense, and even touch on the vague concepts of space and spirit. ]
[Under the mysterious power, Shuoyue is like carrying a magic workshop with him, and can exert the power of replacement magic beyond normal, and even, even the incomprehensible "concept" level can be touched. 】
Compared with the original replacement magic, the replacement magic·modified has not only greatly improved in strength and accuracy, but also has gone beyond the realm of "knowing what it is" and reached the level of "knowing why it is" - in other words, the magic accumulation, theory and techniques of the Endsworth family for thousands of years have all become the knowledge in Shuoyue's mind.
At this time, Shuoyue's knowledge of replacement magic is on par with Darius, the head of the Endsworth family for thousands of years, but it is nothing more than lacking sufficient practical experience.
And the magic barrier of the Winter City is as solid as a rock - it is the perfect opportunity for Shuoyue to practice.

Special Tip: Do not try the leap of faith (free fall) in the three-dimensional world! !
The impact when falling from a high place will cause great damage to the human body. Whether it is a haystack (however, in the game Minecraft, hay blocks can reduce fall damage) or a sponge pad, it can't save you! Even if 119 lays a fire air cushion for you, it will not work.
In the Assassin's Creed movie, before the protagonist's ancestor Aguirre jumped into the water from a height, he threw his flying knife into the water to stir up the water waves and reduce the impact on himself. However, it is still extremely dangerous, so don't try it.
Natsuki Subaru, please ignore it.
