Book 5: Chapter 45:1: Holy Grail War Mission, Part 1

Herrscher: A suitable vessel for Honkai Energy, chosen by the Honkai Demon God from across the world to serve as its apostle. After gifting the chosen vessel with its power, the Honkai Demon God intends to use the vessel to decimate humanity.

Valkyries: People who adapted to Honkai Energy. Instead of turning into zombies, they can employ Honkai Energy to a certain extent for combat. However, the frequent use of Honkai Energy eventually erodes their bodies, leading to their destruction.

Note: For some reason, females adapt to Honkai Energy much better than males.

St. Freya High School: A Valkyrie school established by Theresa Apocalypse, the granddaughter of Schicksal’s Overseer, Otto Apocalypse, on an artificial island in Japan.

It aims to nurture Valkyries who cherish their own lives. In 2009, Theresa left the Schicksal headquarters and established the school in a remote Japan branch, which became highly successful.

After a quick review of the information, Chen Heng put the file away.

He found St. Freya High School an appropriate place for Sirin to attend. However, it was some ways away from China. Even so, as the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin could easily commute using her abilities, given that Japan was not too far from China.

He decided to consult Sirin later.

As Chen Heng was about to share this matter with Immortal Fu Hua in the group chat, he received a private message from Yakumo Yukari.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Interested in a team mission?

He Who Knows Fate: What mission?

In reply, Yakumo Yukari sent him a mission link.

Holy Grail War (World Mission): Win the Holy Grail War. This is the standard version of the Holy Grail, which allows a wish within certain limits.

Intel: Some unforeseen circumstances happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War of a parallel world, resulting in four irregular Masters, all reincarnators. Furthermore, the reincarnators modified the Holy Grail into a regular Greater Holy Grail with the wish-granting feature, leading to the Holy Grail War becoming a 7v7 battle.

The red side is composed of the original seven Masters of the Fourth Holy Grail War, while the black side has four reincarnators. Three more Masters are needed to compete.

The presence of four reincarnator Masters does not necessarily mean there are only four reincarnators. Please investigate the actual numbers yourself.

Danger Level: Unknown.

Reward: 6,000 points (each) and the standard Holy Grail wish (Negotiate the wish with the team yourself.)

Current Participants: 2/3

Chen Heng accepted the mission without hesitation. How could he miss such an opportunity? Clearly, this mission was for summoning Merlin.

He Who Knows Fate: Weren’t you planning to summon Merlin in Doctor Roman’s world?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: The sooner, the better, right? What if Merlin gathers enough points?

He Who Knows Fate: Makes sense. Is everything ready?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: All set.

He Who Knows Fate: When do we start? Who is the third person?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: The sooner, the better. Preferably now. The third person is Doctor Roman.

He Who Knows Fate: I’m on my way.

Chen Heng felt it was time to teach the wretched-mouthed Merlin a lesson. He had only just invited Sirin into the association, and Merlin dared to post chat histories in front of everyone.

While Chen Heng hadn’t seen the specific contents of the chat history, he could tell from Merlin’s attitude that they definitely involved some embarrassing parts of his past. He couldn’t let this slide. Although he had already warned Merlin, it still frustrated him.

“So, you’re telling me you’re off on another mission not long after you’ve returned? Ah Heng, have you truly forgotten you’re a student about to take college entrance exams?” Mo Qingtong asked. She sprawled on the couch, holding a can of cola in her right hand and a bag of chips in her left without care for her image, the embodiment of laid-backness.

“Can’t you at least try to maintain some decorum, Qingtong? Look at you now.”

“Alright, alright, we’re talking about you, not me. I already have my parents breathing down my neck; the last thing I need is you doing the same when I finally get to relax for a few days. Speak. Do you have a problem with me?”

“No, of course not! How could I possibly have an issue with you, First Young Miss Mo? It’s just that I can’t help but leave again so soon after my return. I’ve got to earn a living, after all. The new Chen Clan Sword Technique that my ancestor passed down to me requires at least 1,000 different high-grade sword conceptions to reach the highest level. So far, I only have about 800, and acquiring more isn’t easy. My only option is to buy them from the Dimension Administrators Association’s store, but they’re really expensive.”

“High-grade sword conceptions, you say? You should have told me earlier. There are a few expert swordsmen in the Re:Life Chat Group, so the group’s store sells high-grade sword conceptions. The only question is whether they overlap with the ones you’ve already collected.” Mo Qingtong perked up at Chen Heng’s request and sat up straight on the sofa.

This is my time to shine.

“There’s no rush, actually. I’ve mastered fewer than 100 of the 800-plus high-grade sword conceptions I’ve collected so far. Among them, 89 are sword conceptions of the Chen Clan Sword Technique. My ancestor also mentioned that it’s best to find the remaining sword conceptions on my own. Fate and destiny can be crucial factors in this. Still, thank you, Qingtong.”

“You don’t need to thank me if I wasn’t of any help,” Mo Qingtong responded, an irrepressible smile dancing on her face.

“Tsk.” Luo Li turned her head away, sneering at Mo Qingtong as if looking down on Mo Qingtong for getting so easily excited or satisfied over such a small compliment.

“Luo Li, did you say something earlier?” Mo Qingtong’s ears were very sharp. As a Soul Separation Realm cultivator, she would have cultivated for nothing for the past ten years if she could not hear Luo Li from such a close distance.

“Nothing. Did I say something? I said nothing at all.” Luo Li immediately denied saying anything.

“Elder Brother Heng, do you need my help for this mission? With the Primal Chaos Bell’s assistance, Little Li can be of much help to you.” While speaking, Luo Li manipulated the Primal Chaos Bell, which was always guarding her side, to show itself.

Her unusually gentle and soft tone made Chen Heng feel a flutter in his chest. Did I misperceive it? Despite knowing that Luo Li had a slight yandere tendency, he couldn’t help feeling tempted.

He then began to contemplate. Should I look for a girlfriend? It’s not good to get tempted so easily like that, right?
