Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#931 - The Origin Vortex

"Well, that's fine too. Since it's broken, let's not bother with it anymore. This is a good opportunity for you to get out of here."

Looking at Illya's face full of melancholy, Liang Yue couldn't help but reach out and touch the little girl's head. Then, under her puzzled gaze, a golden-purple glow surged from his palm, and he reached down and plucked it out!

Swish~

In the next moment, a tender and twisted heart was pulled out of Illya's body by him.

Seeing this, the little girl's eyes widened instantly. She looked at the organ in his hand that was still beating, unable to recover for a long time, and subconsciously covered her chest with her small hands.

Her mouth opened and closed weakly, her face showing disbelief, and her emotions gradually darkened.

Immediately afterwards, she took two steps back and slumped onto the sofa behind her.

"What are you doing?"

Liang Yue casually threw the core component, known as the Lesser Grail, into a glass, and looked up at the little girl's appearance, asking with some confusion.

"My... heart, is gone, but... I won't die?"

At this moment, Illya's eyes widened again, and she stood up with a bit of disarray, subconsciously taking a few deep breaths, looking at her still-beating organ in the glass, and said softly.

"It's just that your heart was taken out. When I removed it just now, I also helped you replenish one. Now you are a normal person. As for this thing...

Let's return it to the Einzbern family later."

Liang Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes at this.

He waved his hand in front of his forehead, and a crystal clear, rhombus-shaped gemstone, shining with incomparable pure light, flew out from his forehead and floated on his palm.

"This is the Magic Heart, a tool I used to gather magic power. You can think of it as a Noble Phantasm. I don't need it anymore."

With a wave of his hand, the rhombus-shaped gemstone in his palm turned into a stream of light and directly merged into Illya's brow.

The little girl didn't resist throughout the entire process.

When Liang Yue was still in the initial stage of cultivation, this thing gave him the ability to use magic power. At that time, Liang Yue's magic power, true energy, spiritual power, etc., were all clearly distinct from each other.

But now, with the continuous rise of his cultivation realm, the power in his body has long been transformed into a higher level of mana.

When the Ancient One returned the Magic Heart, she kept her promise. The gem, which was originally at a low level, had been upgraded to a high level when it returned.

Unfortunately, it's still useless. Liang Yue's mana has long evolved into a source of power that can support the activation of skills!

In addition, with the addition of Druid, Wind Dragon, and other professional templates, Liang Yue actually has other magic power slots in his body.

Reintegrating such a Magic Heart into his brow would only become a hindrance~

"What a thick power."

Illya subconsciously rubbed her brow with her hand, feeling the surging and solid magic power within.

As the Magic Heart entered her body, invisible veins began to build themselves in her body, and soon merged with Illya's original magic circuits to form a whole.

The whole process was natural, without any sense of awkwardness.

In the next moment, as the little girl's mind drove, hot flames and violent lightning almost simultaneously burst out from her small palms.

"The advanced Magic Heart can automatically gather and transform magic power. The upper limit for carrying magic power is 99.99 million. The last time I was recovering my cultivation, I also filled it up."

With this thing, for you now, it should not be much worse than the previous Holy Grail."

"This kind of magic power seems to be a little different from the one I usually use! It feels more vibrant, and every time I use it, my body seems to be nourished.

Even if I don't do anything, my mind is clearer because of it!"

"Well, this is actually~"

"Rumble~ Rumble~~ Rumble~!

"

At this moment, just as Liang Yue wanted to take this opportunity to explain to the little girl the mainstream magic power cultivation methods of the heavens and worlds, a sudden tremor suddenly came from afar.

Almost in an instant, it encompassed the entire castle beneath the two people, and continued to spread to farther places.

"Is this... an earthquake?"

Illya was startled at this moment, and after stabilizing her body, she subconsciously looked at Liang Yue beside her.

"No, the battle has begun. I didn't expect that these two would be the first to lose their patience and start the war."

Liang Yue looked towards Fuyuki City at this time.

There, under the clear blue sky, not too far from the downtown area, two figures had already started fighting.

The majestic power instantly caused the heavens and the earth to shake, dark clouds quickly gathered, and gusts of wind mixed with pressure kept shooting out in all directions.

Judging from the perspective of energy attributes, one of the fighting parties used power that was biased towards the earth, and the other was fire.

Among them, the one with the fire attribute is the last swordsman to be summoned, who acknowledged the Berserker class.

At the same time, this person is also the one who directly chopped off the Greater Grail magic circle of Ryudoji Temple with a sword before.

What is more surprising is that this person, who was given the Berserker magic crest system and is always in a rage, is actually a woman~

The time between her being summoned and the start of the war was very short, probably only half a night, only a few hours.

However, the other party's luck was not bad.

After splitting the Greater Grail's formation, she unexpectedly opened the door to the so-called Vortex of Origin.

Although the opening time was not too long, taking advantage of the power gushing out from that special place, this fire-attributed woman quickly obtained a lot of energy substances with negative attributes.

However, this does not seem to be a big problem for her, who holds the Berserker class, and she quickly accumulated a lot of energy because of this.

And as her opponent, the swordsman with the earth attribute bias, relied on absorbing the energy of Fuyuki City's ley lines to restore himself. Since being summoned, he has been quietly retreating and steadily accumulating strength.

It's just that, it is estimated that this brother did not expect that he would become the first to be challenged.

That's right, this battle was initiated by the fire woman as a Berserker class.

It may also be because of the negative influence of the profession that the emotions and other aspects were not well controlled.

In short, this time, the earth-attribute swordsman passively responded to the challenge, and was obviously a little unprepared.

So in order to cope with the offensive from the fire woman Berserker, he had to increase the strength of extracting power from the ley lines, as well as the range.

The advantage of being so unscrupulous and disregarding the consequences is that the energy accumulation speed has been geometrically improved, and even the combat power will be increased due to being backed by the earth and connected to the ley lines.

Liang Yue could clearly feel at this moment that streams of energy were gathering rapidly beneath the ground.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to cause a series of disaster-level consequences such as earthquakes, subsidence, reduced ground strength, landslides, ley line collapse, and soil desertification.

Afterwards, Fuyuki City's originally excellent ley lines will most likely be unusable, and the originally vibrant forests and vegetation will also wither.

More seriously, the foundation of the entire city may collapse because of this.

Of course, this obviously refers to the situation where the other party is still limiting the scope of extracting the power of the ley lines. If the firepower is fully activated, the affected range will inevitably be even greater.
