    Chapter 118 Dark Flower (Secret Mission)!

    Night, Shinto.

    Kuzuki steps out of the bustling urban streets and wanders across the bridge.

    The bridge spanning Mion River is grandiose with Energy Momentum.

    Nine years ago, this place was the site of the fourth Holy Grail War, with remnants of that battle still lingering in the distance.

    A derelict oil tanker lies stranded in the distant river water.

    Kuzuki somehow finds himself at the top of the bridge, standing on the red steel structure as he blows into the night wind.

    He looks at the stranded ship and compares it to his destructive power.

    After some time, he returns to the ground.

    “With Noble Phantasm, the aftershock of a Holy Grail War can destroy an oil tanker. The waves it creates could push the oil tanker ashore, but without opening the Eight Gates (Hachimon Tonkaku), I need ···”

    Nine-tenths of his power would be enough.

    This is just a rough estimate. Without seeing it with my own eyes, I can’t accurately calculate the power from the battle remnants alone.

    Kuzuki knows this refers to the Saber class Servant summoned during the fourth Holy Grail War, using Noble Phantasm “Excalibur (Sword of Promised Victory)” to attack enemies and cause aftershocks. Moreover, in the fifth Holy Grail War, Saber will appear again.

    Even if he uses all his strength and unleashes all his power, Kuzuki’s Possessing ability would easily crush the Strength of all Holy Grail War Servants.

    However, a Servant’s true power isn’t just about their own abilities; it’s more about what they Possess—those mysterious Noble Phantasm.

    Just like the Immortal in Doujinshi, these beings might not be particularly powerful themselves, but the treasures they Possess grant them various unique abilities, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

    The upcoming Holy Grail War has several Servants whose Noble Phantasm Kuzuki cannot resist.

    For example, Lancer’s gun, which Possess “Core of the Soul”, is a karmic method. How can Kuzuki stop that?

    For instance, Rider’s petrifying Mystic Eyes turn anyone they look at straight into stone if Kuzuki accidentally gets caught in their gaze.

    However, there is one advantage: Kuzuki knows all about the Servants’ abilities, while the Servants are completely unaware of him.

    As long as everything proceeds normally, Kuzuki can take the initiative.

    Returning to Ryūdō Temple, Ryuudou Issei is not inside the temple.

    After a walk outside, Kuzuki returns to his room.

    Considering the environment, Kuzuki now rarely performs “dynamic training” in public. He only practices “static cultivation” in public.

    Breathing and Walking Technique, Internal Cultivation.

    Two hours later, Kuzuki stops his internal cultivation and enters a dream state.

    Unlike usual, the Assassination Book undergoes a change.

    [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)] flashes with light, indicating it can be used again.

    Moreover, the mission has been refreshed.

    [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)]

    Target: Variable Source

    ???

    Requires: Clearing Variable Source

    Reward: ???

    Time limit: None.

    Failure Punishment: ???

    Kuzuki looks serious and tightly focuses on the Assassination Book in front of him.

    Unprecedented, unknown, strange [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)], which reveals information that cannot be ignored by Kuzuki.

    [Variable Source?Failure Punishment?Mission Description, Reward, Punishment are all unknown. What kind of danger does this Dark Flower (Secret Mission) possess?]

    [Last time’s Failure Punishment? Or is the Dark Flower (Secret Mission) upgrading again?]

    If Kuzuki remembers correctly, before the last mission, the Assassination Book underwent an upgrade and left him with some information.

    One of the words mentioned: “They are destroying Variables.”

    The Dark Flower (Secret Mission) Target is Variable Source.

    That’s contradictory, isn’t it?

    Why would the Assassination Book’s Dark Flower (Secret Mission) go and do “their” things?

    With so little known information, Kuzuki cannot make a judgment.

    Based on Target, Reward, Punishment all being unknown, Intelligence being scarce, danger unclear, etc., Kuzuki decides to abandon this Dark Flower (Secret Mission).

    Until the next Dark Flower (Secret Mission) refreshes, I’ll consider whether to take it on.

    Then Kuzuki decided to abandon this Dark Flower (Secret Mission), continuing his usual routine.

    At the beginning of last month.

    Kuzuki opened the options for [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)] again.

    His eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes became sharp. The Dark Flower (Secret Mission) still hadn’t changed; it was just that meaningless mission as before.

    Plus, the light emanating from [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)] had grown even brighter, almost twice as bright as before, upgrading from a faint glow to a fluorescent glow!

    What would happen if he never took it on?

    With that thought in mind, Kuzuki still chose not to accept the Dark Flower (Secret Mission).

    He stuck to his usual routine: teaching during the day and training at night, occasionally pointing Ryuudou Issei.

    Then he observed [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)] again.

    Two months later.

    The light emanating from the options had become blinding.

    Even when Kuzuki closed the books, there was still a light shining through the pages and hitting the outside.

    Opening the book felt like opening a treasure chest in a game, with bright light radiating from the pages.

    Before the Dark Flower (Secret Mission) options became brighter, Kuzuki had already sensed something was off in his mind.

    When the brightness reached its peak, he would be forced to enter the Assassination Book’s Space, regardless of whether he agreed or not, to complete the Dark Flower (Secret Mission).

    The deadline for completing the Dark Flower (Secret Mission) was approaching fast.

    He wasn’t one to complain; by the time his instincts kicked in, he had already been preparing for this Dark Flower (Secret Mission) mission full force.

    He spent more than a month lingering in the [Training] Space each day.

    Over two months, that added up to sixty months in the [Training] Space, or five years.

    His own skills had reached a point where no further improvement was possible.

    Even after multiple time-space shifts, Kuzuki wasn’t sure how old he was anymore.

    He was probably around thirty years old.

    With his cultivation complete, he could maintain his appearance forever. Even if time passed for centuries, his looks would remain unchanged.

    Kuzuki exits Assassination Book’s Space and returns to the mortal world.

    The probability of completing this [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)] mission cannot be calculated, as there is a possibility of failure. If a mission fails, it might cause a significant time discrepancy, leading him to miss the fifth Holy Grail War. Therefore, Kuzuki must make arrangements before executing the [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)].

    Consequently, Kuzuki finds Ryuudou Issei and entrusts him with a mission.

    “Ryuudo, if I suddenly disappear, you should leave Fuyuki City and go to Tokyo. Find someone named Asagami Fujino and give her this letter.”

    This scenario only triggers under the condition that Kuzuki disappears. If he successfully returns, there would be no need to find Asagami Fujino.

    Ryuudou Issei’s strength is insufficient for his current cultivation level, and the time required to cultivate Hokuto Shinken (Fist of the North Star) is too short.

    With his current abilities, he can barely defeat boxing champion Tyson (King of Kings).

    This level of strength is decent in The World but far too weak to reach its peak.

    Ryuudou Issei earnestly agreed to Kuzuki’s request and carefully stored the letter, saying, “Teacher Kuzuki, please don’t worry. I will definitely complete the mission you’ve entrusted to me.”

    “Relax; this condition might not even be triggered.”

    “Teacher Kuzuki, can you tell me why you’re doing this?”

    Kuzuki didn’t answer his question but simply said, “There are very complex reasons. I think it’s better if you don’t know them.”

    “It seems I’m still unable to assist Teacher Kuzuki. My current abilities aren’t enough, and I need to work harder!”

    Kuzuki patted his shoulder without further comment.

    Returning to his room, Kuzuki’s expression became serious.

    “The unknown [Dark Flower (Secret Mission)]… What kind of information could it be hiding···”

    He enters Assassination BookSpace.

    Clicking accept……

    Roar!

    Kuzuki’s figure suddenly disappears from the outside world, and for a long time, he doesn’t reappear!
