BAMN: Chapter 83/84

Chapter 83: Descending to a New World

"And Ogerpon, if you encounter the Moderate Harlequin Alliance, you should also try to avoid engaging them."

Ogerpon opened her small mouth, looking as if she wanted an explanation.

"I'm afraid you'll fall into their trap."

Ogerpon had the mindset of a child, too naive, and easily exploited by the insidious Kagurazaka Yuuki.

"Pon!"

Fortunately, Ogerpon never made Rin worry.

This child was very obedient, and she always kept Rin's admonitions in mind.

"Of course, if you really do encounter them, the simplest way is to contact me."

Rin said, "At that time, whether to fight or retreat, I will make the judgment."

"Tsk!"

Being underestimated by Rin, Ice Empress was a little displeased.

However, she dared not disobey Rin's words.

"In fact, I have a plan recently that requires the strength of all of you."

"Therefore, at a time like this, try to keep a low profile if possible."

What Rin was talking about was the new otherworldly matter that he and Snow Empress had been planning recently.

Originally, according to their calculations, it would take at least half a month to truly open the door to that side.

But with Violet's birth, this process was greatly accelerated.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be in these few days."

Rin said, "Once the information about the new world is confirmed, I will take you all there!"

"New world?"

"Take us all?"

"With so many people crossing over, will the pressure be too great?"

Shion and Shuna had also crossed over to the Soul Land World with Rin.

And Snow Empress and Ice Empress, as martial spirits, had also gone to the Spirit Space with Rin.

Therefore, the girls were well aware of Rin's limitations in crossing over.

Sometimes it was the number of people, sometimes the power limit, and sometimes it was the need to comply with the rules of that side.

"Which kind is it this time?"

Ice Empress was very much looking forward to it, she yearned for battle, yearned to become stronger.

A new world meant new opportunities.

She was already impatient to fight against strong opponents.

"None of them."

Rin shook his head and said, "This time's crossing is different from any previous one."

"Here, Violet, you can explain it to everyone."

"Yes."

Violet's figure appeared before everyone.

The young girl raised her hand, and magic power automatically outlined a picture in the air.

It was a tree.

No.

It should be said that it was a universe, a vast universe containing many parallel worlds and time-spaces.

"I have completed a part of the law analysis of that world."

"Simply for descending, these laws are enough for us dependents to enter that world."

Violet's voice sounded, "However, for safety, we will not enter directly in our true forms this time."

"Not entering in our true forms?"

Souei was the only dependent who had not experienced crossing over.

But no matter what, he was a dependent, one of their own who was qualified to know Rin's secrets.

"Mhm."

Rin said, "This time, we will descend in the form of projections."

"This projection mode is quite similar to the second type of crossing, which is like Konosuba World."

"I am the main body, and you are linked to me."

"Ogerpon knows this!"

Ogerpon raised her hand and said, "In the Konosuba World, if Ogerpon violates the rules, it will implicate Rin, and then we'll both be kicked out together."

"That's right, that's the second type of crossing."

"Then the Soul Land Universe, where Snow Empress and Ice Empress are, belongs to the third type."

That is, everyone Rin brought was independent.

Whoever broke the rules would be kicked out, but it wouldn't implicate other companions.

So, when performing the third type of crossing, Rin could completely treat his dependents as disposable nuclear bombs.

When encountering a difficult enemy, he would throw out a dependent, letting them unleash their true power.

Explode, kill the enemy, and then be kicked out of the game.

Although this would mean the dependent would exit the game and could only watch others play.

But for someone with Ice Empress' personality, suppressing her power would be less satisfying than having an exhilarating battle early on.

"This descent is neither the second type nor the third type."

"If you really have to categorize it, it can be said to be in between the two."

"Through the descent, I will have a projection with a legitimate identity over there."

"The power of the projection is limited by the rules of that world."

Rin was unsure how great these restrictions would be, the only thing he could guarantee was the safety of this descent.

Compared to safety, a certain degree of weakening was really nothing.

"Alright, gather everyone."

Rin had Snow Empress arrange to select all the combat-capable forces in the village.

"The Hobgoblin clan, dispatch 5,000 people."

"The Ogre Clan, dispatch 200 people."

"The Wolf Clan, dispatch 400 wolves, forming 200 riders!"

Arriving at the village square, Rin looked at the vast crowd below and secretly rejoiced that the village had been expanded not long ago.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have found a place to accommodate so many people.

"Violet, it's up to you next."

"Okay."

Violet appeared beside Rin, she opened the Soul Corridor and pulled everyone's souls into it.

.....

At the same time, everyone found that they had an additional field of vision.

Yes, it was like using a remote control to operate a game character, their own body, the character's body.

Every monster who entered the Soul Corridor received their own game character.

"My head, my head is a little dizzy."

"Ugh, controlling two bodies at once feels so uncomfortable."

"Quickly close your eyes, and don't move your body either."

"Oh, oh, oh, that's much more comfortable."

In the unknown space, monsters identical to them were dancing wildly.

Different from them were the many dependents and the Ogre Clan, including Shuna, Shion, and Hoshiga.

Just having an extra body, for those with accelerated thinking and parallel processing, was virtually no pressure at all.

Even if dozens more clones appeared, they could perfectly control them.

"Is this the body we will use to descend into other worlds next?"

"That's right."

Rin explained, "Our true forms will not enter, what we send over are just puppets controlled remotely by us."

"Those without parallel processing capabilities, please prepare for rest."

Just like virtual immersion, the Hobgoblins and Wolf Clan needed to find a place to lie down and then devote all their energy to another body.

"Akano, you and Hakurou don't need to participate in this descent."

Rin continued to instruct, "You need to lead the remaining Ogre Clan members to protect the village."

(To be continued.)

Chapter 84: Class?

"Please rest assured, the barrier to protect the village has already been set up."

Akano asked, "I just don't know how long this descent will last?"

With the supplies Rin brought back from the Konosuba World, even if the villagers stayed within the barrier, they could ensure self-sufficiency for half a year, completely without worrying about hunger.

"Don't worry."

Rin smiled, "This descent ritual will be over in at most seven days."

"Seven days…"

Akano was a little surprised, it wasn't too long.

Rather, the fact that Rin could complete the world invasion in such a short time deeply shocked him.

"Alright, you all may leave."

"Snow Empress, Ice Empress, Ogerpon, Violet."

"And Shuna, Shion, Souei."

"Rigurd, you stay too."

"Hoshiga, you too."

Thus, Rin, accompanied by his most loyal dependents and the leaders of the Hobgoblins and Wolf Clan, arrived in the conference hall and began to assign them their tasks.

"Are you ready?"

After resolving everything, Rin found a bed and lay down. "Let's begin, Violet."

[Void Gate activated]

[Select Descent Mode: Projection]

[Projection Complete]

The neon lights of the night flickered, bathing the entire street in a colorful glow.

On both sides of the street stood towering skyscrapers, their glass curtain walls reflecting specks of starlight in the night, like a steel forest from a futuristic world.

"Success."

On the rooftop of a tall building, Rin looked down at the modern city and said in a deep voice, "Fuyuki City, the Fourth Holy Grail War!"

Yes, after Pokémon, Konosuba, and the Soul Land Universe, the new world Rin found was the Type-Moon World.

However, the Type-Moon World was far more dangerous than the previous worlds.

Entering it rashly would be too risky for Rin.

"But this Heroic Spirit body that descended in advance…"

Rin felt the power of this body. "It's too weak."

[Itoshi Rin]

[Class: Traveler]

[Strength: B]

[Endurance: A]

[Agility: C]

[Magic: A]

[Luck: C]

[Noble Phantasm: Monster Nation of Another World (EX)]

[Magic Reserve: 1000 / 1000]

---

The attributes here are not the monster levels of the Cardinal World, but the unique conversion method of Type-Moon.

How to put it?

With the material composition of Fuyuki City, an A-rank Ogre could easily destroy a country.

It's just that the waters of the Type-Moon World are too deep, with various parallel universes, and no one knows if some big shot might pop out and send Rin back.

To prevent such a situation, Rin chose to participate in the Heroic Spirit War to gain benefits from this world.

"Traveler, huh." If he recalled correctly, that was recognized as one of the Extra Servant Classes in Fate/Grand Order lore, though no actual Traveler-class Servant had ever appeared in official records. All the same, Rin found himself satisfied with the designation, it suited him almost perfectly

Two A-ranks, and his Noble Phantasm even reached EX.

And this was the result of Rin's careful preparation.

As for specific strength…

Compared to Rin's main body, the combat power of this Heroic Spirit body was negligible.

"The outcome of the Holy Grail War is irrelevant to me."

What Rin truly wanted was to acquire new rule power from the Type-Moon World through Unique Skills like Duplicator.

"Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon."

"King of Conquerors' Ionian Hetairoi."

"The Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms…"

These were what Rin needed most.

As for things like Magic Resistance and other intrinsic skills, Rin simply didn't have the leisure to waste Violet's computing power on such insignificant things.

"I need to find a suitable Master first."

Looking at the Magic Reserve column, Rin felt a slight urgency. "Otherwise, this body won't last long."

Heroic Spirits must have a Master. Rin had Violet exploit a loophole in the Type-Moon World to descend as a Traveler.

But basic rules still had to be followed.

'Is this the new world?'

'It feels so strange.'

'The buildings are so tall, what are those sparkling things?'

'Is this what the human world looks like?'

Hearing the exclamations and awe from his dependents and kin, Rin smiled faintly and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."

The night wind blew, and the figure that had been standing at the edge of the rooftop vanished amidst the flashing neon lights.

'Where are we going?'

The Snow Empress saw Rin hurrying in a certain direction, clearly with a purpose.

'Of course, we're going to find those Heroic Spirits and then eliminate them!'

'Ice Empress, the Holy Grail War isn't just about fighting and killing.'

The Snow Empress said helplessly, 'Besides, Rin just said we need a stable source of magic.'

'Master.'

Shuna said, 'We need a Master, otherwise, once the magic in Rin-sama's body is depleted, our war will end.'

'Then, where is the Master?'

Due to the vastness of the information about the Type-Moon World, and Rin himself not being very familiar with it, he hadn't mentioned much to the others.

"We're here."

Just as everyone was sharing what they saw along the way and discussing the strength of Heroic Spirits, Rin stopped.

What appeared before Rin was a Taisho-style Western-style house.

This was the Matou Family residence.

And the Master Rin had chosen was Sakura Matou, whom he had to save after reincarnating into the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Inside the Matou residence.

A stooped old man in a kimono was leading a five or six-year-old girl down the stairs to the basement.

The old man was named Matou Zouken, the head of the Matou Family, one of the two major mage families in Fuyuki City.

The girl's original name was Sakura Tohsaka, but she had been adopted by her father into the Matou Family and now had a new name—Sakura Matou.

However…

Looking at the increasingly dim stairs, Sakura was a little scared.

She instinctively grabbed the old man's clothes.

Even though the old man's appearance was terrifying, in such a situation, the girl would instinctively seek a sense of security.

"Grandpa, I'm cold."

"Unknowingly, the Fourth Holy Grail War is about to begin," Matou Zouken murmured, completely ignoring Sakura's plea, and continued to himself, "In this city, every sixty years, a magical ritual unknown to ordinary people is held."

"Seven pairs of Masters and Servants form combinations, fighting each other, with the defeated as sacrifices, ultimately summoning the legendary Holy Grail."
