Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?

The ponytailed 【Aozaki Touko】 surveyed the somewhat dilapidated Emiya residence and sighed with considerable concern.

"It seems my employer has been through a fierce battle."

"There's a possibility the reward this time might not be so easily obtained."

After making this initial assessment, the 【Grand-Ranked Puppeteer】 did not immediately step into the Emiya residence, whose situation was unknown.

Nor did she immediately discuss treatment with Emiya Kiritsugu, the Einzbern family's 'adopted husband,' who remained in the mansion.

Nor did she adopt a cautious strategy and leave.

Instead, like a tourist admiring architecture, she nonchalantly took out a pack of cigarettes from her orange satchel.

She slowly extracted a slender, ladies' cigarette and placed it in her mouth.

Then, she removed her glasses and inexplicably drew a strange symbol in the air with her right hand.

In the next moment, as 【Rune Magic】 was activated, the 【Grand-Ranked Puppeteer】 smoothly lit her cigarette and began to puff out smoke.

At the same time, she used the 【Mystic Eyes of Binding】, which emanated a strange aura from her left eye socket and possessed the ability to 【restrain and seal enemy movements】, to make a preliminary assessment of the situation.

-

At least five 【familiars】 are spying on this place, and the mansion's barriers are almost completely destroyed.

However, judging from the aura emanating from this mansion, which is the same as the alchemical dolls in those two airports,

as well as an aura similar to my own puppet, and the gathering, extremely inferior 【familiars】 spying from not far away,

it seems the owner of this mansion was victorious in this battle.

-

【It seems the ruthless 【Grand-Ranked Puppeteer】 needs to demonstrate some power to warn these people.】

【This is to prevent them from interfering with my plan to obtain assistance and kill that 'nemesis' of mine.】

After making this decision, 【Aozaki Touko】 first lowered her head slightly to close her 【Mystic Eyes】, which were emitting a blue light.

Then, she raised her head, casually tossed the cigarette she had only taken one puff of to the side of the street, and walked into the Emiya residence with a carefree expression.

Leaving behind a somewhat arrogant statement.

"However, I don't particularly like the feeling of being spied on by clumsy mages.

"So, these 'inferior' 【familiars】 should quickly get out of my sight."

In the next moment, as the cigarette landed, several crystal-clear 'tentacles' emerged from under the woman's orange trench coat.

These were 【Crystal Flutterflies】, a 【Mystic Code】 constructed from crystal shards, threads, springs, and gears, combined with a small amount of magical energy.

As soon as the several 'tentacles' appeared, the astonishing magical power gathered at their tips transformed into magical bullets that shot out.

With a few subtle sounds of air being pierced.

In an instant, all the mages who were spying on this place through 【familiars】 went 'offline'.

After completing all of this, 【Aozaki Touko】 put on her glasses.

Returning to the gentle, reasonable, and about-to-negotiate-a-deal puppeteer 'Aozaki'.

——

The Hyatt Hotel, where 【Kayneth】 and his fiancée 【Sola-Ui】 were staying.

Watching her 【familiar】 go 'offline'.

【Sola-Ui】, who was considering how to contact other Masters for assistance at Archer·Napoleon's urging, slammed the sofa in anger.

"How dare this uncultured woman, who came out of nowhere, call me a 'clumsy' mage!!

"This is outrageous!!"

【Kayneth】, who had recently woken up and was checking the 【Magic Furnace】 like a withered lemon, did not interrupt his fiancée's complaints as he usually would.

Instead, he waited until his fiancée had finished her rant before very rationally and arrogantly agreeing with her.

"That's precisely why that woman is the partner of that infamous 'Magus Killer', who is like a sewer rat.

"After all, there's a saying that goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together'.

"Isn't that the case right now?"

Hearing her fiancé, whom she didn't particularly like, say these words to appease her.

Although she wasn't very fond of this insensible genius ('simp'), 【Sola-Ui】 was still pleased that the words had slightly reduced her anger and regained her composure.

She then used her brain to deduce the intention behind this extraordinary 【magus】's appearance at the Emiya residence.

"Although that woman is very arrogant, judging from that 【mechanical structure】, which is quite sophisticated and probably on par with your 【Volumen Hydrargyrum】,

"that woman's magecraft skills are probably not low.

"And such a magus"...

Hearing his fiancée's statement, the arrogant expression on 【Kayneth】's face deepened even further.

He interrupted his fiancée's deduction in a manner that lacked emotional intelligence, confidently giving his answer.

"The price for that woman to cooperate in battle is probably something that Emiya Kiritsugu can't afford.

"So, there's only one possibility: she was invited to use a mechanically constructed 'prosthetic limb' to heal that Saber's severed finger and strengthen their camp."

-

Hearing Kayneth interrupt her, a fleeting look of displeasure flashed across 【Sola-Ui】's face.

After silently chanting 【Kayneth is still useful】 a few times, she retorted to her fiancé in an annoyed tone.

"So, we're just going to watch?

"Lord El-Melloi, the 'child prodigy'.

"You're not just going to stay here and do nothing, only using your knowledge to tell me how long it will take for her to recover, right?"

Hearing these barbed words, 【Kayneth】, who was somewhat 'wilted', seemed to regain his vitality, giving his fiancée an unexpected answer with a rather smug expression.

"It's useless, no matter what means you use, it's useless."

"Useless?"

【Sola-Ui】 was shocked by these unexpected words.

Seeing his fiancée's shock, 【Kayneth】 laughed wildly, showing off the 'knowledge' he possessed.

"Those hicks don't know one thing.

"Under the influence of that 【Forced Curse】, any attempt to attach a 'prosthetic limb' will be 'invalidated'.

"Whether it's mechanical, form-fitting, or made of mithril, under the influence of the curse, it will all be 'invalid'."

【Kayneth】 paused before telling a cold joke using his abundant knowledge.

"For modern mages, there's no room for manipulation with 【Forced Curses】.

"Judging from the fact that it hasn't been lifted since the opponent's death, unless you can summon the person who cast the 【Forced Curse】 and ask them to cancel the 【curse】.

"Or have the legendary holy water that washes away everything, it's possible to complete the 'healing' work."

Having said this, 【Kayneth】, who had suppressed his fiancée's arrogance and regained control, was finally satisfied and conveyed new instructions to 【Sola-Ui】.

"The possibility of that Saber regaining combat power doesn't need to be considered.

"Your plan to use her to kill that Saber (Fang Yi) won't work.

"Use my plan instead."

Looking at the woman who appeared in the 【familiar】's vision, 【Kayneth】 revealed an unusually satisfied smile.

"We can try to contact Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine, who have powerful Servants, through the 【Holy Church】.

"And that executor named 'Zhuang Zhengyan', who has a close relationship with the Tohsaka family, is a good choice."

——

At the same moment, in a room of the Emiya residence.

The 'monster' in the glass bottle was demonstrating its value to Fang Yi.

"My esteemed master, when it comes to 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】, I must use that woman with the missing finger as an example.

"Due to some special reasons, I have a very deep understanding of the 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 skill.

"If an outsider heard the name of the 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 skill, they would probably think of some surgeries to graft limbs of different species.

"For example, some attempts to graft certain organs of animals"...

Seeing the other party showing off his knowledge and failing to meet the narrative requirements for 【Transcendent Attraction】 'teaching'.

Although he was very disgusted by the other party's time-wasting behavior, he neither interrupted the other party's 'background narrative' nor showed any impatience.

All he did was take out the 【Soul-Burning Wax】, a 【Curiosity】 with low durability, and wave it in front of him.

Then, he said a 'tangential remark' with a meaningful tone.

"The durability of my Curiosity is a bit low.

"I'm already looking forward to finding some monsters with vigorous vitality to replenish some durability."

The 'Limb', who was still giving a lengthy explanation, instantly understood Fang Yi's 'warning'.

He immediately changed his narrative style, recounting the solution to 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 and the Knight King's missing limb like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 is one of the combat methods of alchemists.

"In addition to using 【Biological Chimerism】 to connect nerves and inefficiently using limbs of different species.

"Alchemists have also developed more efficient methods of using these limbs.

"【Flesh Forging Tanks】 that do not trigger rejection reactions, can accommodate multiple limbs like organs, and can be temporarily activated and switched."

As the 'Limb' narrated, a pleasant notification sound rang in Fang Yi's ear.

【Affected by the talent 【Transcendent Attraction】, an unknown person has taught you the skill 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 with special skill branches.】

【Because the 'teacher' has a very deep understanding of this skill, you have a high level of mastery of the prerequisite skill 【Alchemy·Body Modification】, and you do not have corresponding plot points.】

【This study requires you to pay 500 points and 20 merits.】

【Pay?】

『Yes』

【You have obtained 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion lv5】, as well as a fixed skill branch enhancement.】

After paying 500 points and 20 of the 40 merits he had just obtained, Fang Yi pretended to listen to the 'Limb' saying things like:

"I was the first finished product of the experiment to transform the 【Saint's Remains】 of that period into the 【Flesh Forging Tank】 that 'loads' the limbs in 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】."

"But in the end, it had more functions, becoming the existence of a 'doppelganger' that assists in cultivation."

And other self-flattering words mixed with personal gain.

Fang Yi secretly began to examine his newly acquired skill.

This skill was indeed, as the other party said, not just 'fusion' in the literal sense.

——

【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】

Skill Category: Alchemy

Skill Effects:

【Biological Chimerism】

1. Can peel off the 'limbs' of any creature (including magical creatures and phantasmal species) and preserve their activity through 【Alchemy】.

2. Can use autologous flesh and blood as a medium to nerve-graft the 'limbs' of different species to obtain the abilities possessed by that limb.

Hint:

1. The preservation effect of 'limbs' is affected by 【Alchemy】 skills and 【Anatomical Division】 skills and fluctuates to a certain extent.

2. The strength of the 'limb' obtained after nerve grafting is affected by the alchemist's 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 skill level and the specific operation accuracy.

3. Under the current attributes, you can simultaneously carry 2~4 different species of 'limbs'.

(The upper limit of the number of grafts increases with skill level and attribute improvement, and the specific application is affected by various factors such as 'limb' strength 【talent】 and characteristics.)-

【Flesh Forging Tank】

Can use 【Alchemy】 skills to use form-fitting substances or flesh and blood to generate the alchemical organ 'Fusion Chamber' in the abdominal cavity.

The 'limbs' stored in the 'Fusion Chamber' will bring corresponding buffs to the user.

In an emergency, the 'limbs' in the 'Fusion Chamber' can be consumed to undergo a one-time mutation to obtain a huge increase.

Hint:

1. During the 'limb' storage period, it will continuously consume body nutrients and vitality.

2. The maximum number of limbs that can be stored is affected by various factors.

Including but not limited to the quality of the 'Fusion Chamber' forged by 【Flesh Forging Tank】, the 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】 level, the 'limb' strength 【talent】, characteristics, and other factors.

Introduction:

An elective skill in the 【Body Modification】 branch training program.

Learners need to have a very strong understanding of the human body and have 【Body】 talents or characteristics.

This skill was initially only used to graft 'large' organs and peel off the limbs of different species to preserve their activity through alchemical techniques.

Then, through nerve grafting, these limbs are fused with oneself to obtain their abilities.

Under the crazy conception of a maverick genius who was eventually banned.

This skill has undergone a historical change.

It has spawned the function of storing and using limb buffs in the body, and gaining huge increases through mutation in an emergency 【Flesh Forging Tank】.

Evaluation:

A skill with great potential that can greatly improve the combat power and adaptability of 【Alchemists】.

However, using this skill has certain requirements on the user's body.

And the buff effect of the limbs highly depends on the limb strength, and if not operated properly, it may bring extremely serious consequences.

——

After reading this skill, Fang Yi did not speak yet, and the 'Limb', seeing Fang Yi unmoved, threw out the 'bait' again and began to bewitch Fang Yi to coexist with him.

"The missing 'limb' of that woman was peeled off by the 【Curse】 that I applied at a cost.

"As long as I am willing to lift it and am willing to lose the buff and release the other party's finger, the other party's 【Curse】 will disappear.

"As long as you allow me to coexist with you, I will bring you the talent 【Flesh Accumulation】, as well as the skills 【Implant Fusion】, 【Heterogeneous Limb Fusion】, and 【Flawless Body】.

"It can also assist you in quickly digesting this precious [Implant] that I've left behind."

Hearing the other party mention the 'precious' [Implant], Fang Yi's eyes lit up.

[There's an unexpected gain, it seems this 'deliveryman' is really not bad.]

He glanced at the newly 'learned' [Skill Branch], a very well-hidden smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He already knew what method the other party would use to [Quickly Digest [Implant]].

It was precisely the [Skill Branch] that the other party had 'taught' him.

[Let this 'monster' spit out the [Implant] first.]

Fang Yi thought to himself.
