I don't want to be a heroic spirit

There was no one around, so no one would notice that someone was sitting on a branch.

The woman had long hair as pure as snow, golden eyes, and wore red light armor with flowing cloud patterns. A small part of her belly was exposed to the air. She also had wing-like horns on her head, proving her non-human identity.

"Really? This world is so unfriendly to outsiders, isn't it? I almost got discovered the moment I showed up. I was so scared."

Although she said "I'm scared to death", both her expression and tone showed a hint of eagerness, as if she found the thing of "being discovered" very interesting.

She fell from the branch, and a few snow-white feathers fell around her when she landed.

"But what world have we arrived in? Could it be a world in the Age of Gods?" The white-haired woman pinched her chin and began to think after landing. "However, the magic content in the atmosphere is indeed very rich, and the spiritual energy everywhere is also very abundant. It reminds me of the time when I lived deep in the mountains and old forests. It was quite quiet, but a little too boring, especially after coming into contact with humans. It was so boring that I wondered how I survived all those years."

She closed her eyes and took in everything around her, then frowned.

"But... what's going on with this world's magic? While its concentration is indeed comparable to that of the Age of Gods,... what does this feel like? It's like humans experimenting with artificial snow to create beautiful snowscapes..."

In the woman's opinion, the magic power around her has great limitations. Although it is highly concentrated, its efficiency is far inferior to the magic power in other worlds. It is like some kind of defective product created artificially to replace magic power.

Is this true for the whole world, or is her part of the world a special case?

"But well, just a few minor changes... well... this and that... great! The strength won't be affected!"

"If it were any other servant, they might be affected to some extent, right? Unfortunately, I am a spirit born from the elements of mountain, wind, air, and fire, and I am also a great Onmyoji. I only need to make a few changes to the spell to perfectly utilize the surrounding magic! Ga, gag, gag!"

The woman's unbridled and strange laughter once again echoed in the forest.

At this moment, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of the woman's eyes, making her eyes light up.

"Oh! Isn't this Da Vinci?"

"Oh my, the spiritual base that Master fused this time turned out to be the Ghost One Dharma Eye?"

"Ha, ha, ha! I bet that King Zhana is going to explode with rage, right? Let us get there first." Gui Yi Fa Yan put one hand on his hip and let out a strangely smug laugh. "Giving her spiritual base to the Master who is in a dangerous world, in her eyes, should be the same as running to the Master to protect her when the Master is in danger, right? After all, they are both giving their power to the Master. Although that girl is stupid and rigid, her loyalty is one of her few strengths, right? Maybe?"

"In the end, we caught up with her first. For her, it must be like she was late to the party to protect the emperor? Ha, ha, ha! I really want to see the rage that turned blue on King Chana's face after he learned about this. Maybe he was even ready to commit seppuku, hahaha!"

In fact, there are many servants who are eager to give their spirit base to the Master, especially female servants like Qingji...

The King of Chana mentioned by Kiichihogan is actually Ushiwakamaru. His more familiar name in history is Minamoto no Yoshitsune, and Ushiwakamaru is Minamoto no Yoshitsune's nickname.

Guiyi Hōgan was not wrong in his guess. Ushiwakamaru was indeed one of the people who most eagerly wanted to hand over power to the Master.

As for why Kiichi Hōgan gloated over Ushiwakamaru's misfortune, it was because there was a connection between them... or perhaps a bad connection?

Kiichi Hogen was Ushiwakamaru's master and taught him many skills. Legend has it that the reason why Ushiwakamaru became the most famous general in Japan was, on the one hand, because she was Kiichi Hogen's disciple, and on the other hand, because she had read the "Six Strategies of War" kept by Kiichi Hogen.

However, Ushiwakamaru did not get the permission of Guiyi Hōgen to read the "Six Strategies of War".

According to legend, Kiichi Hogen made it clear that she would never allow Ushiwakamaru to read the military books in her care. So, before leaving, Ushiwakamaru deceived Kiichi Hogen's daughter and deceived Kiichi Hogen, allowing him to read the "Six Strategies of War" without permission.

The price he paid was that Ushiwakamaru was chased madly by Oniichi Hōgen and had to flee all the way.

If Ushiwakamaru hadn't run fast, he might have been killed by Guiyi Hōgan. Don't doubt it, Guiyi Hōgan would not show mercy and spare Ushiwakamaru's life just because he was her apprentice. After all, she is not human and thinks differently from humans.

"Yeah, originally you wanted to marry me, but I didn't expect our relationship to be so close this time... We've become one. This is a first for me, too. This feeling is so~~~ interesting!"

"The impact on his personality is quite serious, but..." Da Vinci sighed, then said, "Since it's the Ghost Eye, there's no need to worry about the Master being in danger."

"Of course. I am my master after all, and protecting my disciples is one of my responsibilities. Unlike that brat, Chana Wang, I am very fond of me, both as a [human] and as a [living being]."

Because of Gui Yifayan's current behavior, Da Vinci suddenly felt a little worried.

"By the way... Master, do you still know what your first goal is?"

"Hmm? Of course we know."

Gui Yifa blinked, then smiled slightly.

"Anyway... let's find a disciple first!"

"No! It's about collecting information about this world!"

------

The above are all the ability parameters and skills of Guiyi Fayan.

It's very exaggerated. Although she is only a four-star character in the game and was given as a gift in an event, her ability value is very exaggerated.

The incalculable and immeasurable EX level appeared three times, one each for ability parameters, class skills, and possessed skills.

Especially since Kiichi Hōgan is clearly Assassin, not one of the Three Knights, yet he has the highest level of [Magic Resistance]. I have to mention a certain Servant who is a Saber, but only has an [Magic Resistance] of E. (Okita Souji:???)

The reason why Oni-Horgan possesses EX-level magic power and [Anti-Magic] is because she is an elf born from nature. Unlike later creatures that can only use the small source magic (Od) in their bodies, Oni-Horgan is equivalent to a part of nature, so she can directly use the large source magic (Mana) to perform various actions.

From this point of view, Guiyi Fayan and the True Ancestor are somewhat similar.

"Don't panic, dear Da Vinci. As long as we accept a disciple in this world, won't we be able to learn all the information from him?"

"Although what you said makes sense..."

Gui Yifayan, who had already walked out of the woods, was strolling on a beach. She had not expected that the place where she landed was so close to the sea.

Listening to the sound of the tide rising and falling, Gui Yifayan didn't feel anything special.

When I was [Phoenix Feather of That], I did come to the beach once, and it left a very deep memory...but that time I came to the beach was at night.

Most of the memories of "Gui Yifayan" are related to the seaside.

At this moment, Da Vinci's voice sounded in her ears again.

"Master, a warning here. We've detected some very strange auras approaching you."

"Oh? A new disciple?"

Gui Yifayan looked happily in the direction that Da Vinci reminded him.

"Hmm...it seems not."

Although there is still some distance, this distance is nothing to the servant.

"Dog... or wolf?"

Not far away, beside the mountain wall, there were two very strange creatures wandering around.

They have no body or hind legs, only a wolf-like head and two sharp claws. They move not by walking but by floating in the air with an inexplicable force.

Not just their shapes, but also their existence...

"This aggressive force...is so incompatible with the peaceful energy in the air."

Although this is my first time in this world, and I don’t know anything about this world.

but……

"Those things are undoubtedly evil and enemies to this world."

This kind of thing can be seen with Gui Yifa's keen eyes.

"What should I do? Should I go up and destroy them all, or should I take a detour? After all, this is a new world where I have no idea what to do. If I act on my own, it would be bad if I get into trouble. Hmm, it's really difficult."

With his hands folded across his chest, Gui Yifayan showed a conflicted look, frowning as if he didn't know what to do.

"But, well... maybe we can get some clues about this world from those two monsters! Hmm! The more I think about it, the more it makes sense."

To put it bluntly, Gui Yifayan just wanted to go up and fight, and he was hesitating for so long just because he wanted to think of a suitable excuse to take action.

So, Gui Yi Fa Yan took the initiative to move towards the two monsters.

Of course, she also had to remove the [Breath Blocking] on herself, otherwise these two monsters with only bloodthirsty impulses and no rationality would never be able to discover her.

Sure enough, when she removed the [Breath Blocking], the two monsters quickly discovered her and began to make low roars.

"Oh! What a good little puppy! Do you want a bone?"

Gui Yi Fa Yan walked over without any nervousness, and she wielded a naginata that was taller than her with one hand with great vigor.

Kiichi Hōgen herself was proficient in the Hundred Martial Arts. According to legend, she taught eight disciples, who later founded eight schools that are considered the origins of Western swordsmanship, known as the "Kyoto Eight Schools."

The two monsters seemed to be angry, and dark purple light began to burst out from their hair, but their anger was not because of Gui Yi Fa Yan's provocation, but simply because of Gui Yi Fa Yan's existence.

Just as Gui Yi Fa Yan said, they are the enemies of this world, and all living beings in this world are the objects of their anger.

Then, right before Gui Yifa's eyes, the two monsters disappeared out of thin air.

A pitch-black crack suddenly appeared in front of them, and they drilled directly into the crack, leaving only Gui Yifayan standing there.

Gui Yifayan blinked, then grabbed the naginata with an expressionless face and slashed behind him.

Just before the knife light appeared, a monster just emerged from a crack in space and was cut in two by the knife light before it even had time to react.

The two corpses of the monsters slowly fell behind Gui Yifayan. Before they hit the ground, a few flames suddenly rose from the neat blades. The flames swelled up in the wind and instantly turned into red pillars of fire that burned the monsters' corpses until not even ashes were left.

"Gah, gah, gah! Do you think a sneak attack like this will work on us? How naive!"

Guiyi Hōgan carried the naginata on his shoulder, turned his back to the pillar of fire and let out bursts of what could be described as hearty laughter.

This kind of monster was nothing to Gui Yi Fa Yan. She dealt with the first one easily, and the second one was no different.

But the second one was different from the first one... not because of the difference in strength, but because the second one dropped something.

Perhaps it was because the second monster was cut into pieces by Gui Yifa Yan's wind blade instead of being burned to ashes directly, so after the second monster dissipated in the wind, a small claw was left behind.

Looking at the "dropped object" in his hand, Gui Yifayan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Have I come to the wrong world?"

Just as Gui Yi Fa Yan was thinking about how to deal with the dropped objects in her hand, suddenly two auras touched her perception.

One of the auras was very similar to the monster she had just killed, but it was much stronger.

The key is another breath... It's very contradictory, familiar and strange at the same time, and there is a hint of inexplicable... intimacy?

Chapter 108 Tengu Girl

Why did you pick up the knife?

Why did you swing the knife?

Perhaps these questions are too obscure and difficult to understand for such a young child?

The child has not grown up yet, and it is hard to tell whether she is a boy or a girl just from her appearance. Her hair is bluish black with a little white at the ends.

It should be very beautiful hair, but now, her hair is stained with her own blood. The red blood mixed with mud is stained on her face and body. The blood flowing from her forehead flows down her left eye, so she can only see things clearly with one eye.

She was already scarred, and it was easy to see.

She must be in pain, right? After all, the wounds on her body are painful just to look at.

Excessive blood loss made it difficult for her to concentrate. The only eye that could still be opened no longer had much light left, and it would probably not be long before it was covered by dark clouds.

But she couldn't just faint like that.

Accompanied by bursts of suppressed barking, a huge beast hound appeared.

There was still bright red blood dripping from its claws, and it was obvious that it was the one that hurt the little girl.

The little girl only had a short sword in her hand. It was left here by a warrior who got lost in the forest some time ago. Later, it was picked up by the little girl by chance.

The little girl has lived in this forest since she can remember. To her, this forest is her home and protecting it is her duty.

However... these ugly wolf-like monsters suddenly appeared.

I don't know where they came from or when they came.

The little girl originally thought that they were monsters born in the forest like herself.

But... when they saw the little girl, they launched an endless chase.
