Chapter 38

The training ground materialized by the Infinite Heart can simulate most situations. This time, the scene materialized by the Infinite Heart is the night of Fuyuki City, specifically the location where Saber and Lancer fought in *Fate/Zero*. The opponent is the Lancer with Luck E, the chief warrior of the Fianna, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, the hero with two spears, one long and one short. Both Xunxin and Diarmuid are rated as mid-eight hearts in terms of overall strength, and their combat experience is almost equal. Diarmuid's advantage lies in the two magical spears with different effects: the Gae Dearg, which can dispel magic, is particularly effective against magical armor and can nullify magical enhancements and additional abilities. The Gae Buidhe, which carries a curse that prevents healing, renders all healing methods below nine hearts completely ineffective. Additionally, Diarmuid's attributes are slightly stronger than Xunxin's. In terms of the Infinite Heart's attribute system:

Strength: 269 (10)

Agility: 405 (10)

Stamina: 204 (10)

Although Diarmuid is inferior to Xunxin in strength and stamina, he outclasses Xunxin in speed and agility. Diarmuid's speed has broken the sound barrier, while Xunxin can only reach near-sonic speeds. In close combat, Xunxin's strength is not enough to overwhelm Diarmuid, giving him only a slight advantage. Therefore, it is difficult for Xunxin to defeat Diarmuid in close combat. However, Xunxin's advantage is clear: if he can't win, he can teleport away and bombard Diarmuid with spells from the top of a container. Although Diarmuid has a high resistance to magic (B rank), which can almost ignore magical attacks below Grand Magic, he cannot withstand the bombardment of Xunxin's pure magic and high-level spells.

On top of a container, the sound of weapons clashing echoed as Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki and the two spears, one red and one yellow, continuously collided. Xunxin was gradually being pushed back by Diarmuid's attacks. Seizing a momentary opening, Diarmuid used his left hand to parry Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki with the Gae Buidhe and aimed a thrust with the Gae Dearg at Xunxin's forehead. Suddenly, Xunxin's body rippled and disappeared from Diarmuid's sight, reappearing fifty meters away on another container. Immediately, fireballs, ice spears, wind blades, and light arrows rained down on Diarmuid. Even with his B-rank resistance to magic, Diarmuid could not withstand the barrage of hundreds of low-level spells. He swung the Gae Dearg, nullifying a cluster of spells with each strike, forcing his way through the barrage. However, the delay in countering the low-level spells slowed Diarmuid's advance. Seizing this opportunity, Xunxin took a deep breath, and the three magic sources in his body converted his magic into fire, lightning, and dragon attributes. The fusion of these three attributes created a powerful magic wave that even made the container beneath Xunxin's feet turn red from the heat.

"Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon!!!" A massive pillar of fire, accompanied by a deafening thunder, shot towards Diarmuid, incinerating everything in its path. The diameter of the fire pillar was about thirty meters, and even with his A+ agility, Diarmuid could not dodge this attack. However, for Diarmuid, there was no need to dodge. He planted the Gae Buidhe on the ground and spun the Gae Dearg with both hands, forming a red barrier that dispelled magic. The Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon is a high-level spell with a wide area of effect, and while it is highly effective against single targets, it is not as powerful as other high-level spells. The Gae Dearg continuously dispelled the three attributes of magic, and as a continuously active Noble Phantasm, it did not consume much magic, allowing Diarmuid to withstand the attack for over ten seconds. When the flames dissipated, Diarmuid stood unharmed, looked up at Xunxin, and realized Xunxin was no longer there. Sensing danger, Diarmuid tried to move, but a cold blade pierced his back, emerging from his left chest. Xunxin knew the Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon could not seriously injure Diarmuid, even if Diarmuid had relied on his B-rank resistance to magic. The Roar of the Thunder Flame Dragon was just a distraction; the real attack was a spatial teleport followed by a powerful thrust that pierced Diarmuid's heart, shredding it into pieces with the magic-enhanced sword. Even as a Heroic Spirit, Diarmuid would have to fall from such a wound.

"Infinite Heart, I am ready to enter the next world." After leaving the training ground, Xunxin had completed his training over the past few days and mastered many spells. The time to enter the next world had arrived. The Infinite Heart would give the contractor ten days to recover and train after completing a world mission. To extend the time, one could pay Heart Coins, with five Heart Coins per day, which was very expensive for Xunxin. The ten days passed quickly, and today was the tenth day. If Xunxin did not leave, he would have to pay Heart Coins to extend his stay.

"Very well, contractor, your next world has been chosen." A light screen appeared before Xunxin, displaying a cube with the words "Cube," "Cursed," and "Curious."

"Cube, Cursed, Curious, and a cube... If I'm not mistaken, it should be the C3 world. What are the available entry times?"

"From five years before the start of the plot to when Yatogami Chiru receives Phi, contractor."

"I choose to enter five years before the start of the plot."

"Very well, contractor. The world has a very special effect, please be prepared."

"What special effect?" Xunxin asked urgently.

"An additional fifty Heart Coins for the question. Do you wish to pay, contractor?"

"Really greedy, I won't pay." Xunxin refused outright. Fifty Heart Coins could buy a decent weapon, and a D-rank Noble Phantasm was worth about the same.

"Since the contractor does not pay, the teleportation will begin."

A white light enveloped Xunxin from his feet, and as he lost consciousness, his last thought was: 'You greedy merchant, kicking me out just because I won't buy... QAQ...'

In the C3 world, on the outskirts of the town where Yatogami Chiru lived, a blue figure emerged from the white light.

"Phew, finally out. I didn't expect to wake up during the teleportation." Xunxin took a deep breath, feeling the positive energy in the environment.

"Truly, this place where the curses of the Cursed Cubes can be lifted is filled with benevolent energy..." Xunxin opened the spatial storage provided by the Infinite Heart and took out Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki. Unexpectedly, a strange malevolent energy seemed to be drawn to Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki, and even Xunxin's magic shield could not stop it.

"What is this power, Infinite Heart?"

"Contractor, this is the unique curse power of the C3 world, a malevolent force that can transform cursed items into human form. This power also brings special curses to the cursed items, such as Phi, which can drive the holder mad. Of course, purification can remove the curse without damaging the Cursed Cube, but the purification power must be very high, such as the natural positive energy. This level of power is usually above fifteen hearts, and with your current strength, you cannot remove the curse."

"But why is Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki affected by the curse? It is not a weapon from this world." Xunxin, seeing the alarming amount of curse power gathering around Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki, quickly asked the Infinite Heart.

"Contractor, Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki has taken thousands of lives, reaching the standard for being cursed in this world. Therefore, the world's curse power is transforming Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki. Additionally, the higher the quality of the weapon, the more curse power it absorbs, and the stronger the curse becomes."

As the curse power continued to gather, Kikyou Sen no Mikazuki finally burst into a bright white light, so intense that Xunxin had to shield his eyes. When the light faded, Xunxin felt something soft in his hands. Opening his eyes, he saw a girl with waist-length silver hair, skin as clear as crystal, and a faint, orchid-like fragrance, lying in his arms. However...

"What the hell is going on, Infinite Heart, quickly exchange some clothes!!!"

And so, Xunxin spent his first day in the C3 world in extreme panic. Speaking of which, living for over twenty years in the *Rurouni Kenshin* world without a girlfriend, isn't that a bit too much of a failure? o((≧▽≦o)
