In the sky above Jian Tong's house, a huge tree turned into a rainbow-colored barrage of bullets that rained down like a meteor shower. Red, white, black, yellow … In an instant, the entire house was engulfed by the barrage.
Collapsed walls, shattered eaves, and a raging fire. Some of the people who were cut down by Sauron but did not die now suffered another destructive blow and were buried in the sea of fire.
Jian Tong felt hopeless.
He wanted to escape, but the barrage of bullets made it impossible for him to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as his family's business was destroyed. He could only watch helplessly as the bullets hit his body. His broken limbs burned like rags. This feeling made him feel despair he had never felt before.
Until his body emitted a burning smell …
"The bug extermination is over."
In the sky, Kaguya waved her hand. The huge tree that had released the barrage of bullets turned into a branch again and flew back into her sleeve. She turned around and floated away.
"Ahhhhhh …"
Just as Kaguya's figure disappeared, deep under Jian Tong's house, in a place that looked like a bug's nest, Jian Tong's soul let out a painful roar.
He did not die, and it was impossible for him to die. After all, that body was only his temporary vessel. His real life, which was his soul, was still residing in the bug's nest. As long as the bug's nest was not destroyed, he could "come back to life" no matter how many times he tried.
It was supposed to be like this …
"Why … Why can't my soul return?!"
However, Jian Tong was horrified to find that all the bugs in the bug's nest seemed to have died. No matter how he commanded or called, his soul could not return to the bug's nest. How was this possible?!
Of course it was possible.
Jian Tong's dirty inkstone didn't know that the moment Hui Ye left, she had already imposed the Law of "Eternity" on these sleeping insects. As long as she didn't remove this Law of her own accord, they would continue to sleep forever and "reject" any change.
A soul that had lost its physical body could not survive for a long time. Moreover, in the previous attack, Kaguya had also caused serious damage to Jian Tong's soul. If he did not return to the bug's nest to recuperate, his soul would be destroyed in less than a night.
Kaguya's bug extermination did not only wipe out his physical body!
"There is still hope … there is still hope …"
The older a person was, the more they feared death, not to mention an old monster like Jian Tong's inkstone. He quickly thought of a way to save himself — the spiritual vein!
Right now, he was in urgent need of a new body, a new vessel for his soul to reside in. However, with this broken soul, even an ordinary person would not be able to possess it. If he had the support of the spirit vein, his soul would be able to recover. At that time …
A moment later, a wisp of cold mist rose from the ruins of the Jiantong family's base and drifted into the distance.
…
Over at the new city hall, Amethyst's operation was very successful. With her constant probing and Patchouli's help, she finally succeeded in controlling the Primordial Ring.
Originally, according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, if the small holy grail didn't appear, the large holy grail wouldn't be able to appear. However, the Ancient Ring was a mission tool, so there was no need to go through so much trouble. The large holy grail was directly drawn out.
"It's almost done …"
Seeing the large holy grail appear within the four-layered barrier, Amethyst couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
At that moment, no one noticed that a wisp of cold mist had quietly peeked out from a corner of the wall …
The owner of this wisp of mist was Jian Tong's inkstone. It had taken him a lot of effort to fly here from the Jiantong family's base, and he immediately discovered Jian Tong's sakura. Although he was a little annoyed, he gave up on the idea of plundering Jian Tong's sakura when he saw Patchouli beside her.
As he looked around, Jian Tong's gaze finally fell on Eight Cloud Purple.
What powerful strength, what powerful spirit, what powerful magic, and … a body that far exceeded the limits of a human!
Jian Tong's inkstone had never thought that he would encounter a monster of such a level in this era. Perhaps even the legendary Three Great Monsters of Japan were nothing more than this. When he felt the immense life force from Amethyst's body, he almost couldn't suppress the urge to rush out.
He knew that this might be the body that he had always dreamed of.
If he could get his hands on it, he wouldn't even need any other seedbed to easily live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Moreover, monsters were much more adaptable to magic than humans. The stronger the monster, the more so. Even without any modification, such a body could unleash its full power. It was simply perfect!
As long as he could get her … As long as he could get her …
At that moment, Jian Tong's inkstone had completely ignored Jian Tong's existence. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to take over that monster's body.
Of course, when faced with such a powerful monster, it was almost impossible to take over her body.
Under normal circumstances, Jian Tong would never make a move, because it would only lead to death.
But it was different now!
Jian Tong turned his gaze to the gigantic beam of light in mid-air. He knew that the other party was undergoing an important project. It was an attempt to extract the Great Holy Grail from the spiritual vein. No one knew better than him how difficult it was. It was something that could only be accomplished by gathering the souls of seven servants.
No matter how powerful the monster was, it couldn't possibly match the total number of seven servants.
In other words, that powerful monster couldn't do anything else in order to control the spirit vein and the Great Holy Grail. That was probably why the female magician beside Xiao Ying was guarding her.
Then, he would have an opportunity to take advantage of.
As long as he pushed the monster into the spirit vein when the female magician wasn't paying attention, her project would be interrupted, and she would suffer the backlash of the Great Holy Grail. Just like a servant, her soul would be absorbed, and he would take over her body … A body without a soul, even the current him could easily take over!
Yes, this was something that could be achieved. As one of the three Imperial Families that participated in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War, no one knew the power and function of the Great Holy Grail better than him.
Look, the female magician's gaze is on the beam of light in the sky. She didn't notice me at all!
Look, the female monster's face is dripping with sweat. She must be at a critical juncture!
Look, her body is trembling slightly. Her strength has reached its limit!
Chance!
Jian Tong's eyes shone brightly. Even though he knew that even so, there were still many dangers, and a single mistake could cause his soul to dissipate, but … the chances of success were higher!
Fortune came from danger!
Such an opportunity was already in front of him. What reason did he have not to cherish it?
Fight!
In an instant, Jian Tong had already made up his mind. His soul in human form rushed out like lightning. The distance between the two of them was less than seven meters. At this time, the female magician and the Great Holy Grail that he was on guard against still hadn't noticed him …
Victory!
I'm about to obtain eternal life!
I'm about to obtain the strongest body!
Jian Tong suppressed the excitement in his heart and almost laughed out loud.
However, at this moment …
Amethyst turned her head slightly and casually glanced in his direction.
In an instant, Jian Tong's soul froze in mid-air.
Eh?
Jian Tong instinctively lowered his head and saw that his soul was disintegrating into pieces, starting from his limbs and disappearing bit by bit …
Why is this happening … I'm about to succeed … I'm about to obtain the perfect body … I'm about to achieve my dream … dream? What dream … Ahhhhhh … I don't want to die …
In an instant, he fell from heaven to hell.
Jian Tong's soul completely dissipated, and everything returned to a state of nothingness. Even in death, he didn't understand what had happened.
"Do your job as a guard well." At the same time, Amethyst glared at Patchouli.
"Eh?" Patchouli retracted her gaze from the sky, looking confused. "What's wrong?"
"A revenant ran in."
"What's wrong with revenants? My library is quite humid, and all sorts of revenants often sneak in. I can't be bothered with them since they can't do anything anyway. "
"Alright then, I've already gotten rid of it. If it hadn't suddenly run out to scare me, I wouldn't have bothered with it."
Amethyst pouted and didn't say anything else.
To her, it really wasn't a big deal.
Although her job wasn't to exorcise spirits, Euonymus of Xixing Temple was the manager of the Underworld and the revenants' immediate superior. Moreover, she and Euonymus had been best friends for a thousand years, so she couldn't be more familiar with revenants, whether it was erasing or purging.
The realm of life and death — Soul Disintegration.
To deal with a revenant without a physical body, one look was enough.
…
At this moment, no one knew the story of an old monster who had lived for five hundred years, fighting against four transmigrators in one night and sacrificing himself heroically in the end. It was extremely brave!
