Chapter 703: Awakens
Light blue smoke enveloped Diarmaida's body and in less than a few seconds, his body turned into a ball of golden energy.
This ball landed on Su Xiao's palm, and Diarmaida's soul drifted away.
— Less than I thought.
Perhaps because of this fight, but Su Xiao received noticeably less energy than he originally thought, but there was still a lot of energy.
The ball immediately sank into Su Xiao's palm and, using his hand as a channel, entered the devouring core next to his heart.
The devouring core immediately went to work and began to purify, filter, and eventually transform this energy into a colorless one.
The Qing Gang Yin energy in Su Xiao's body immediately became very active and immediately began to absorb this colorless energy.
After a few minutes, the Servant's entire energy was transformed.
Su Xiao stood still. A light blue light shone from his eyes.
— Su Xiao heaved a deep sigh of relief. Every time he absorbed the energy, he had to fight this insane urge.
Turning his head, he looked at the building nearby.
Since he had just absorbed the Servant's energy, he had become extremely sensitive to this type of energy.
— Compared to Diarmuid, your energy is so soft that I might drool.
He was looking directly at Saber.
Saber, who was wearing a black suit, suddenly stopped and turned her head.
— What's up, Saber?" Iriswil von Einzbern, Emiya Kiritsugu's wife, asked, and looked at Saber in confusion.
She was a young, incredibly beautiful girl of medium height, with long silver-white hair, fair skin, and cherry-colored eyes.
Iriswil herself was not a simple girl. More precisely, she was not a girl in the direct sense of the word. She is a homunculus created by the Einzbern family. More importantly, the Einzbern family prepared it as a vessel for the Holy Grail.
As the Holy Grail wars continued, every time a Servant died, Iriswil became weaker and weaker, and the weaker she was, the closer she was to gaining the Holy Grail.
Doomed to a bad ending from the moment she was born, this was the life of the beautiful Irisville.
But Iriswil wasn't that weak right now, after all, only two Servants had died.
Saber shook her head at Irisville's question.
— It's all right, just an ominous feeling. That Master and Servant are too weird, like...
— It's like they've switched places, " Emiya Kiritsugu said.
— That's right, as if they had switched places! Saber repeated and nodded.
— The command spell on this "Master "' s hand... was drawn.
Emiya Kiritsugi's words shocked Saber and the others.
— Drawn? Saber was a little surprised and obviously couldn't understand it.
— Yes, it's drawn. Although no Master has ever done this in previous wars, it's a pretty good trick..
— Then so are we... Iriswil raised her white hand as if she too wanted to draw a command spell on it.
— Emiya Kiritsugu flatly refused. — Although it can confuse the enemy, it can only work if a lot of conditions are taken into account. You don't have to do this, but Saber might think about it.
Hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's words, Saber remained silent.
She obviously didn't want to draw a command spell on her hand, as it would deceive other people.
A knight's integrity wouldn't allow her to do that.
Everyone fell silent. After a long time, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly said, " Saber, if you fight against this Servant, you'll only have about a 10% chance of winning.
— Sixty percent... No, fifty. I have my Noble Phantasm and will also be able to handle this Servant's sword skills, but the only thing that bothers me is that blue smoke, he seems to be capable... Swallow me!
Saber's swordsmanship wasn't weak, but it was definitely inferior to Su Xiao's, although Saber had an A-level "Instinct" ability. This skill could allow her to predict the future during combat, for example, she could see Su Xiao's attack in advance.
— Really? In any case, it's best if you avoid his sword, " Emiya said to Kiritsugu and began to think of a plan.
The reason why he retreated this time was because he wanted to let Su Xiao kill as many challengers as possible so that he wouldn't have to eliminate six Servants with their Masters in the future.
However, what he didn't know was that Su Xiao didn't plan on appearing in Fuyuki anytime soon.
----
Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the floor.
The Qing Gang Yin energy in his body gradually stabilized, and soon Su Xiao opened his eyes and saw the notifications from Heaven.
[Due to the energy transformed by the devouring core, Qing Gang Yin's skill level was raised.]
[Qing Gang Yin's skill has been upgraded to level 27.]
[Qing Gang Yin's skill has been upgraded to level 28.]
The skill was upgraded by two levels at once, but to be precise, it only increased by a level and a half.
Since Su Xiao used it almost every day, it gradually improved without any outside interference.
Absorbing the Servant's energy resulted in him being able to raise the skill by about a level and a half.
The only thing Su Xiao regretted was that the Servants had noticeably less energy when compared to the tailed Ones.
But that was normal, after all, the energy systems of the Naruto world and this world were very different.
Compared to the tailed Ones 'chakra, the Servants' energy was a couple of levels lower. This difference was not due to force, but to many aspects, such as the functions of these energies and their nature.
An electric arc suddenly flashed on Su Xiao's fingertips. Qing Gang Yin's energy now looked exactly like thunder and lightning, but their properties were different.
Although it had only increased by two levels, Su Xiao felt that the energy density had increased significantly.
After opening the skill list, he decided to check the energy description.
[Qing Gang Yin: Level 28 (Active Skill).
Terms of Use: Once activated, the Hunter will start spending 66 (+4) Mana points per minute. Mana consumption can be freely controlled. The skill will automatically stop working when the Hunter's mana drops to 1% of its maximum value..
Skill Effect: Once activated, each melee attack will burn at least 140(+10) units of enemy mana and deal the same amount of true damage +10% (+1%) of the enemy's missing mana. The enemy will experience severe pain from burning mana.
Control (For level 20 of the skill). After breaking the threshold, you can now change the Qing Gang Yin energy at will.
Form number 1: Mage Hunter. A basic form of Qing Gang Yin skill that burns the opponent's mana and deals proportional true damage..
Form number 2: Invincibility Anthem. A defensive form of the Qing Gang Yin skill that can create an energy shield of any shape to defend against enemy attacks. The strength of a shield depends on the amount of mana spent on it. The upper limit for one-time mana consumption is 400 points.
Form number 3: Ruler of Azure Shadows. The awakening is underway: 2%.]
Almost all of Qing Gang Yin's stats had been improved. When Su Xiao paid attention to the last line, he suddenly discovered that the Azure Shadow Ruler ability had actually started to awaken and already had a 2% progress rate.
This surprised and puzzled Su Xiao. He didn't do anything about it. Could it be that it was because Qing Gang Yin's level was raised?
But it might not have been because of that. When he was in Naruto's world, Qing Gang Yin's ability increased from level 20 to level 26, but the skill never showed any signs of awakening.
Maybe this skill should have been awakened naturally? It sounded like something possible, but then why didn't he wake up in the first place?
Su Xiao was confused. He had no doubt that the third form was one of the best, if not the best, but he still couldn't use it since it wasn't awakened, but he couldn't awaken it as he didn't know how it could be done.
