Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Jeweled Sword and Senzu Beans

Looking at the Jeweled Sword in front of him, Miyauchi Hikage's eyes swept with slight regret over the clearly excessive rewards like the Phoenix Force, Dragon Ball, and Nephalem Bloodline.

No need to say more about the Dragon Ball, a genuine wish-granting machine.

And the Phoenix Force also had the potential of infinite multiverse level. In the Marvel setting, it was the embodiment of all life's emotions and possessed nearly infinite energy.

As for the Nephalem Bloodline, it wasn't simple either—humans born from the union of angels and demons.

Although the lower limit was far inferior to angels and demons, the awakened Nephalem had far greater potential than angels and demons. Even the Prime Evil Diablo, who merged the seven evils and easily conquered the High Heavens, would be crushed by Nephalem players in the game.

If he drew these rewards, Miyauchi Hikage felt he could stop eating beef on the spot.

However, the Jeweled Sword was indeed not bad either.

First, in the Heaven's Feel route of Fate, the degraded version projected before the final battle also played a key role in the decisive battle, holding back Matou Sakura who had become the Dark Grail.

One had infinite magic power as the Dark Grail, and the other constantly drew magic power from parallel space-times with the Jeweled Sword. Unfortunately, as sisters, the amount of magic power released at one time was also similar, so although both sides had what could be seen as infinite magic power, they were temporarily deadlocked due to output limitations.

This wasn't even the highlight of the Jeweled Sword. After all, what Tohsaka Rin held was just a projected product, perhaps less than half effective compared to the original, and Tohsaka Rin's own output also limited the performance of the Jeweled Sword.

In the hands of its true master, Zelretch, the Jeweled Sword was even more exaggerated. Back then, when facing the Crimson Moon, King of the Moon, he used the infinite ether cannon emitted by the Jeweled Sword to block the Crimson Moon's Moon Fall.

Although the essence of the Second Magic was to shuttle through parallel space-times, making Zelretch look mysterious no matter which setting he was in, as if he had already obtained the script.

But the power to draw magic power from parallel space-times for his own use at will was also Zelretch's confidence.

In Prisma Illya, Zelretch used technology similar to the Jeweled Sword to create Ruby and Sapphire that could turn people into magical girls. Illya, transformed into a magical girl, could even suppress the Enuma Elish of a berserk Gilgamesh in a Noble Phantasm clash relying on infinite magic power.

Although this Gilgamesh was not in complete form, and EA was obviously not at full output, some power of the Jeweled Sword could also be seen from this.

"Although my current magic power cap is not particularly high, the single output is very large. This Jeweled Sword is also timely for me."

Miyauchi Hikage was now like a not-so-large small pool equipped with a large pipe whose limit could not yet be seen.

Even if Miyauchi Hikage's current magic power was considered relatively high among Grade 1 supernatural beings, the abilities he currently mastered, whether Projection, Card Magic, or even the Sealing Jutsu from Naruto, consumed considerable magic power.

If Miyauchi Hikage really risked his life and took hundreds of high-grade or even special-grade Cursed Tools to perform Broken Phantasm, he could even drain his magic power within half a minute.

Even though there was the Blue Card in Card Magic to steal magic power before, it was only a drop in the bucket in battle. At most, he could throw a Blue Card plus a Yellow Card when magic power was about to run out to exchange for a chance to escape.

"But although I obtained the genuine Jeweled Sword, accompanied by a usage method, there is still a usage limit?"

Feeling the record about the Jeweled Sword instilled in his mind, Miyauchi Hikage muttered softly.

He had expected this long ago.

There was a price for Tohsaka Rin to use the Jeweled Sword.

She needed to swing the Jeweled Sword to draw magic power. Every swing would cause a muscle in her arm to tear. Even if magic power could heal and alleviate it, the feeling of muscles tearing infinitely should still be quite stimulating to the body.

Including in Prisma Illya, the two girls transformed into magical girls couldn't maintain the state of infinite magic power forever. Under the condition of excessive output, they would still quickly consume their own stamina until they couldn't hold on and exited the transformation state.

"However, consuming stamina is just consuming stamina." Miyauchi Hikage was quite relaxed.

With the physical fitness brought by Pure Yang Body + Hamon breathing, his body was not comparable to those squishy supernatural beings.

Even if he couldn't compare with those stamina monsters in One Piece who fought for days and nights without rest at every turn, he could at least learn from a certain 50/50 captain and throw a sentence "I can do this all day" at the enemy.

If the Jeweled Sword accelerated stamina consumption, it could at least allow Miyauchi Hikage to fight continuously for a small half-day.

From a small pool that had to raise the white flag in ten minutes to being able to fight fiercely for several hours at least—when that guy Tohru came back from the other world, he could also give Tohru some small surprises in the subsequent sparring.

The Jeweled Sword was indeed the most practical thing for him now, and visibly, this thing could accompany him for quite some time.

"Most importantly, this thing is firstly a 'sword', and secondly not a divine construct. Even if it is tainted with the power of rules, it is much easier for me to project than the torn page of the Death Note."

Miyauchi Hikage just sensed it slightly and confirmed that he could indeed project the Jeweled Sword. And unlike the degraded version projected by Emiya Shirou simply by looking at the blueprint, he projected it after analyzing the original Jeweled Sword.

Although still a counterfeit, its performance could reach at least eighty percent or more of the original Jeweled Sword.

Moreover, although the Jeweled Sword itself was already a top-level Mystic Code accompanied by Zelretch's usage methods and maintenance experience, this wasn't the limit of the diary reward.

According to the reward reminder, Miyauchi Hikage could even keep it on himself in the form of a Craft Essence card from FGO.

When needing to use the power of the Jeweled Sword, he didn't need to hold an overly conspicuous Jeweled Sword in his hand, but could equip it directly on himself in the form of a Craft Essence card.

This could also be considered a major enhancement.

Although the magic world in this world was still messy now, since there was a high probability of following the route of Prisma Illya, it proved that Zelretch should still be quite famous in the magic world. If the Jeweled Sword appeared too many times and was recognized, it would probably bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to him.

Appearing in the form of a Craft Essence card could save this part of the trouble.

Unless it was someone who had a certain understanding of the Second Magic, those magi who couldn't see how the Jeweled Sword worked would only think that he was born with great magic power and wouldn't think elsewhere.

Gently confirming this reward, Miyauchi Hikage then quietly stored the Jeweled Sword's Craft Essence card into his Unlimited Blade Works.

Analyzing the Craft Essence card and copying the Jeweled Sword would be left for when he got home.

He turned to look at Shinomiya Kaguya.

Compared to the quite practical things he gained here, the lottery result on Shinomiya Kaguya's side didn't look very ideal.

It could be seen from her slightly dark face now.

He didn't know what she drew.

But the diary was like this. Except for giving you a pity guarantee for the first lottery draw, subsequent draws depended entirely on luck.

"What's wrong? You exorcised a Grade 1 vengeful spirit with your own hands. Why do you still look a little unhappy?" Miyauchi Hikage asked Shinomiya Kaguya knowingly.

Regarding this, Shinomiya Kaguya also hurriedly put away the emotions on her face.

But she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

The thing she drew this time was a small bag of Senzu Beans from the Dragon Ball world.

Although there were twenty Senzu Beans inside, the description of this thing was that eating one Senzu Bean when hungry could keep an ordinary person from feeling hungry for ten days, possess recovery power, and be used to restore stamina and energy when exhausted.

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't take the latter sentence about restoring stamina and energy seriously.

Recently, she had obtained a lot of anime and game settings with the girls in the chat group. This Senzu Bean thing really looked unremarkable, looking like a relatively low-level recovery potion in games.

It said it could be used to restore stamina and energy, but didn't say how much one could restore.

Such a bean, even if it could keep an ordinary person full for ten days, how much energy could it contain?

This thing was probably just an emergency supply for use in urgent situations.

It felt less useful than those medicines extorted from Shadows in the Metaverse.

At least those things could directly state how much recovery ability they had.

"It seems my luck isn't very good this time," Shinomiya Kaguya thought with some regret.

She turned to look at Miyauchi Hikage, thinking that Miyauchi Hikage came to help her complete the commission today.

If Miyauchi Hikage hadn't used his power of fate to pin down these vengeful spirits and let that Grade 1 vengeful spirit serve as a sandbag for her to vent, she really couldn't have completed this commission so easily.

She didn't know if Miyauchi Hikage would like this thing.

So she coughed lightly, made a motion of taking something out of her pocket, and actually claimed the Senzu Bean reward.

"By the way, I recently traded for a bag of things with certain recovery effects in the Inner World. It is said that eating one can keep you full for ten days."

"But I recently got a lot of medicines in the Metaverse with Mashiro and the others. I don't need these things for the time being. Take this bag of Senzu Beans as a thank-you gift for your help this time."

Shinomiya Kaguya was worried that Miyauchi Hikage wouldn't like this thing, and gave her promise again: "Of course, this thing isn't worth much. I'll find a way to inquire about the whereabouts of some special-grade Cursed Tools for you later."

On Miyauchi Hikage's side, hearing the words "Senzu Bean" from Shinomiya Kaguya's mouth, his head was still a little dazed. For a moment, he didn't know if this was Shinomiya Kaguya's sincerity or a test like in the past.

The fame of Senzu Beans was too great.

In the Dragon Ball world, apart from Dragon Balls and Ki cultivation methods, Senzu Beans could be considered the top good stuff.

If Shinomiya Kaguya really got Senzu Beans, would she be willing to use this thing to give a favor?

He looked at the ordinary small bag that Shinomiya Kaguya handed to him "nonchalantly," and then quickly and carefully sized up Shinomiya Kaguya.

Finally, pretending not to know the effect of this thing, he took the small bag, and then casually looked at the Senzu Beans inside, which looked like broad beans and had no abnormalities from the outside.

Eye of Destiny, open.

Structural Analysis Magecraft, activate.

Analysis Magecraft encountered an item difficult to analyze for the first time. It should be that the Senzu Beans contained some special substance from the Dragon Ball world, exceeding the limit of Analysis Magecraft.

Although it could be analyzed, that touch of massive life aura within it, even with the assistance of the Eye of Destiny, could only be seen in form but not obtained in essence.

Even if forcibly projected, it would only project an empty shell with no effect at all.

Miyauchi Hikage was not surprised by this result.

If he could even project Senzu Beans, then he could become a perpetual motion machine himself.

Consuming magic power to project Senzu Beans, relying on eating Senzu Beans to recover, and then continuing to project Senzu Beans.

The Jeweled Sword at least paid attention to drawing magic power from infinite parallel space-times.

Senzu Beans were unreasonable recovery.

When your combat power was a scumbag level of 5, a Senzu Bean could regenerate severed limbs.

When your combat power broke through the sky and became a Super Saiyan God, a Senzu Bean could still restore you to your best state in a second after your power was exhausted.

The recovery ability of Senzu Beans probably touched the conceptual level, so the number of these things had to be limited in the middle of the work. Otherwise, if everyone had a bag of Senzu Beans when starting a team fight in the later stage, the villain would probably not get a single kill even if they fought until their hands were soft.

Observing carefully, Miyauchi Hikage could even feel the desire of his body and Hamon breathing for the bag of Senzu Beans in his hand.

It seemed that as long as he ate one Senzu Bean, not only could his Pure Yang Body complete some kind of transformation relying on this massive life aura, but even Hamon breathing could obtain a great breakthrough because of this.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Miyauchi Hikage exhaled and withdrew his gaze.

Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya who seemed a little puzzled, he took out five Senzu Beans from inside, and then returned the remaining Senzu Beans to Shinomiya Kaguya.

"Your luck looks very good to be able to get this thing."

"You may not know the effect of this thing. Although it is a consumable, I can only tell you that it is very precious, much more precious than you imagine. Even I cannot fully analyze its existence and upper limit. So you'd better keep it yourself. Consider the few I took as a favor I owe you."

Shinomiya Kaguya had a good relationship with him. No matter from which angle, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't and wasn't willing to take advantage of her like this.

Regardless of whether Shinomiya Kaguya was testing him or not, he couldn't accept this bag of Senzu Beans.
