After using the Saint Quartz, my health and mana bars, as well as my most pressing attack, have all improved significantly. Now all I have to do is grind monsters to further increase my level.
If Kirito hadn't died, none of this would have mattered, since he would have been out in about six months. But now that Kirito, the protagonist of the original story and the beacon of hope, has brought about his own demise, who knows what kind of chaos will ensue next?
The bosses that followed were all stronger than the last, and the boss at the very top of the Red Jade Palace was someone Kirito later defeated in the movie after he used a cheat code and had to rely on many people to defeat him.
Chapter 307 Analysis: The Lock of Heaven!
Lin Yan was confident that current players had the ability to challenge their way to the Red Jade Palace, but the timeframe would need to be extended to at least five years.
Even though they've already reached the 74th floor in just two years, the difficulty will increase with each subsequent floor, and it's foreseeable that the casualties will be no less than before.
Five years is an optimistic estimate. It is foreseeable that we will be stuck at the final level, the 100-story Jade Palace, for at least a year.
"I can only follow Kirito's old path." Lin Yan felt a little downcast.
Damn it, it's all my fault for showing up here and interrupting the protagonist's cheat mode. Otherwise, I could have just followed behind, cheering him on, and been a slacker for a few months before I was released.
Now, he's being forced to play the role of a savior, completely clueless.
Although I don't know if my body can withstand the damage that a gaming helmet can do to my brain, it is, after all, my brain...
Despite Lin Yan receiving numerous promises from himself assuring me that he would not die, given his current physical condition, unless his head is chopped off, dying would not be so easy.
But Lin Yan was still hesitant to take the risk.
"Never mind, let's grind monsters first!"
After wandering around, Lin Yan found several decent monster spawn points near the teleportation point. Excluding some with too few monsters, he was most satisfied with two spots. One was a high-level monster spawn point with thick skin, which, although not compatible with his high attack speed and high burst damage build, had a high respawn rate. After killing them all, they would all respawn in less than an hour.
On the other side, the monster gathering point is filled with mantis-shaped monsters. They are also high-level and numerous, but they are high-attack-speed, high-damage, fragile assassins.
This type of opponent can be easily controlled as long as Lin Yan's speed overwhelms them and he doesn't get surrounded or reveal any weaknesses.
Three to five cuts are enough to cripple him, and two more cuts will finish him off.
Furthermore, it doesn't cause much wear and tear on weapons, and the experience gained depends on the monster's level, not on the health bar.
The drawback still exists, namely the refresh issue.
After killing them all, it will take at least five hours for this group of monsters to respawn, and they will respawn one by one, taking at least an hour to respawn completely.
"Can't we combine them?" Lin Yan was a little frustrated. If only there could be a group of squishy monsters that spawned quickly and were also high in attack and low in defense.
Sure enough, after walking a little further, Lin Yan actually encountered a strange pile that combined the two.
It's full of tough-skinned monsters, and they respawn incredibly slowly.
After killing all the monsters, Lin Yan fell silent as he looked at the respawn time, which started at five hours.
……
While Lin Yan was breaking down, in another world, Lin Yan confidently stood on a flying sword, his left hand gripping a golden chain, and his right hand holding a projected image of a hundred heads being shot.
"King of Heroes, I never imagined you would end up like this."
Under the dazzling sunset, Lin Yan seemed to be coated with a layer of shimmering beauty. His sharply defined features were divided by light and shadow, presenting a beauty similar to that of a Greek marble sculpture.
"There's never been anything I can't get, you bastard!" Gilgamesh, arms crossed, emerged arrogantly from the shadows, clad in golden armor.
"It seems that due to the convergence of world lines, the kind-hearted citizen Gilgamesh was not devoured by Matou Sakura." Lin Yan nodded to himself.
Since Angolan Mainyu is unlikely to be born, he can now seize his power without restraint.
After studying diligently day and night with Medea, the magician from the Age of Gods, and Artoria, Lin Yan gained a deeper understanding of magic in the Type-Moon world. Combined with his advantage of having foresight about the plot, he successfully judged the current status of the Holy Grail.
"The corrupted Holy Grail cannot grant any wish." Kirei Kotomine, the godfather of Kirei Kotomine, smiled slightly. He was about to witness the end of a hero's life, and this kind of tragedy was truly delightful.
In particular, the very existence that the two sides fought over, harboring ideals and the desire for salvation, ultimately yielded nothing more than a laughable illusion and merciless destruction.
The thought of this impending ending filled his twisted mind and body with an unprecedented, immense pleasure.
"Projection, start!"
As Lin Yan softly chanted, Gilgamesh began his offensive.
The Gate of Babylon behind him opened wide, and endless chains surged forth from it.
The Lock of Heaven!
"People of the world, hope to chain the gods!"
As a divine weapon created by the gods to bring the hero-king Gilgamesh back to the position of the gods, the Chains of Heaven's attribute of being particularly effective against divinity made Lin Yan quite troubled. The stronger the opponent, the stronger the Chains of Heaven would become.
In the last encounter, although Lin Yan did not suffer any losses, he was still helpless against the Heavenly Lock.
But in this encounter, Lin Yan was absolutely confident...
"Too arrogant!"
Lin Yan's eyes snapped open, and he silently chanted an ancient incantation in his mind. The projection magic he had tricked from Shirou Emiya was rapidly building up magic circuits within his body.
The seemingly endless Lock of Heaven rushed towards Lin Yan at an extremely fast speed, but he was not afraid at all.
Analysis!
In an instant, this powerful divine weapon held no secrets in his eyes, and even the invisible pressure brought by the chain dissipated.
Although the pressure was negligible to begin with.
As the silver-gray vortex behind them opened, the surrounding air began to tremble slightly.
An invisible force is gathering.
"This is……"
Below, Artoria and Medea, who had come to provide support, stopped in their tracks.
The boundless magical power surged like a vast ocean, and a terrifying light flickered in Lin Yan's pupils in mid-air. Sparks of magical power danced at his fingertips.
As Lin Yan's hand gestures changed, the magic circuits were connected and strengthened!
Behind him, complex magic array patterns gradually appeared in mid-air, intertwining to form a huge circular pattern that floated in front of him.
"A fake!" Gilgamesh's anger surged even more as he saw that Lin Yan could even copy the Chains of Heaven.
"How dare you desecrate my dearest friend, Lin Yan! Today, I will take your life!"
"A fake? Let's see whose Chains of Heaven are stronger. Don't let the mighty King of Heroes' Noble Phantasm be inferior to my fake!" Lin Yan said lightly, his voice even carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.
It was this attitude, which hadn't been encountered in a long time, that made Gilgamesh increasingly unable to suppress the surging anger in his heart.
"Die, you bastard!"
As he finished speaking, the Heavenly Lock was finally about to touch Lin Yan's body.
As Fan Ji was with his colleague, another silver chain, exuding an aura of unapproachable divinity, suddenly lit up in front of Lin Yan.
Then, as if firelight had met moonlight, the silver chains emitted a dazzling light, colliding violently with the golden light of the Heavenly Lock, accompanied by a tremendous hum that shook even the other dimension. The two fought fiercely, neither giving an inch.
"Gilgamesh, I'm taking the Holy Grail. And you'll fill the void of missing Heroic Souls!"
Lin Yan's body began to emit blue magical energy fluctuations, which spread out like ripples, touching every corner of the magic circuit.
Emiya Shirou is incredibly bad at magic, but that doesn't mean his enhancement and projection magic are bad.
The former is comparable to Lancelot's knights who die without their bare hands, while the latter might even be a world-class bug power that the Heroic Spirit Archer obtained while working for the Counter Force.
Projection magic is enough to project the power of the Chains of Heaven, while enhancement magic can give this fake an even greater boost.
However, the true Chains of Heaven are already complete from the moment they are born; they will not grow or evolve.
From this perspective, although the projected fake was destined not to last long, with the support of Lin Yan's powerful magic, its existence was long enough to steadily suppress the real Heavenly Lock!
On that empty battlefield, two chains of heaven, each carrying a powerful force, are engaged in an epic battle.
The gold and silver chains each represent different wills and powers; they dance in the air like two giant dragons.
The Chains of Heaven radiate a dazzling light, each of its rings engraved with intricate patterns, containing the power of ancient magic and sacred vows.
"Smash it!" With Gilgamesh's roar, countless golden portals opened behind him, and countless Noble Phantasms shot out from them.
"King of Heroes, you're already struggling to take care of yourself, so don't bother!"
Almost simultaneously, countless magical artifacts appeared from the numerous silver vortexes behind Lin Yan.
Instant analysis!
The Noble Phantasms collided in mid-air, eventually losing their power and falling to the ground.
Amidst sparks and humming fame, the Lock of Heaven spun in the air, both light and powerful.
The dim twilight collapsed in an instant, and the mist of night enveloped the sky.
The silver counterfeit chain, like the cold beauty of the moon, shimmers with a cool light, each link flashing with a chilling gleam, revealing a cold sharpness.
Enhanced by magic, the chains moved with elegant power, each swing cutting through the air and producing a metallic hum. The moment they collided again, the entire space seemed to tremble. Golden and silver light intertwined, creating a breathtaking spectacle alongside the fading sunset.
The clanging of the chains was like a thunderous roar. Each impact sent ripples of energy spreading rapidly outwards, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Under such turmoil, even Gilgamesh couldn't help but grit his teeth and take a slight step back, while Lin Yan stood steadily in mid-air.
High judgment.
Seemingly enraged by the suppression, the Chains of Heaven blazed brightly, attempting to overwhelm its opponent with heat and power. However, under Lin Yan's distracted control, the silver chains responded nimbly and precisely, constantly searching for the opponent's weaknesses.
