Chapter 80

"Yan Ye, so you brought back the person you deeply love..." Xinxin, whose facial muscles were twitching, looked at Yan Ye, who was holding the secret letter from his mother as if it were the most precious and fragile treasure, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Alright, when I was preparing for Elise Sophiel's heart transplant, I had several hearts ready. Give her to me for an hour, and I'll return a lively wife to you." Taking Farnese Kirei, whose chest had been stabbed and whose body temperature had dropped to a dangerous level, from Yan Ye, Xinxin walked into the space-time passage connected to the laboratory.

"Uncle Yan Ye, Mother..." Farnese Rin gripped Yan Ye's sleeve, looking worriedly in the direction Xinxin had disappeared. Yan Ye placed his hand on Rin's head, gently stroking her smooth hair.

"Don't worry, Rin. Your mother will definitely return safely."

Before long, Xinxin brought Farnese Kirei to Yan Ye, just as he had done with Elise Sophiel, and looked at Yan Ye with a face full of annoyance.

"Yan Ye, did you bring me a cold corpse to tire me out? I had to use a large amount of magic to simulate the normal heart's activity while desperately casting the Holy Healing Spell, and at the same time, perform a delicate surgery and ensure that Farnese Kirei's soul didn't dissipate. Do you really think my magic and energy are infinite? Anyway, I've cured Farnese Kirei. If there are any more such troublesome things, I'll charge you." The surgery had consumed a lot of Xinxin's magic. When Farnese Kirei was brought to the operating table, her brain had been deprived of oxygen for about seven minutes, her heart had been pierced, and she had lost a lot of blood. The situation was extremely dangerous. To save Farnese Kirei, Xinxin cast the Holy Healing Spell on a large scale, and with his two free hands, he removed Farnese Kirei's heart and implanted a new one at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye and with precision that rivaled a computer's. Under the effect of the Holy Healing Spell, the artificial heart and blood vessels fused together. At this point, Farnese Kirei's soul was almost dissipating, forcing Xinxin to use his magic to reassemble it. The energy consumed in this surgery was no less than what he had used in a battle with a consciousness-erased entity.

Before Yan Ye could respond, Rin and Sakura, who had been waiting, rushed to Farnese Kirei's bedside. Farnese Kirei, who had already awakened, saw her daughters and reached out to embrace their little heads. "It's okay, it's okay... Mom is fine." Then, Farnese Kirei turned her gaze to Xinxin and Yan Ye. "Thank you both for your help. If it weren't for you, I would have..."

Before she could finish, Yan Ye walked over and sat by the bed, comforting Rin and Sakura. "Rest well, Kirei. This Holy Grail War will end tomorrow."

Xinxin: "..." (￣_￣|||) I'm completely ignored. Can I charge for the surgery now...

—Xinxin's Rest—

In the afternoon of the fifth day of the Holy Grail War, Kenneth and Sola-Ui Nuada Re Sophia, protected by Lancer, came to Xinxin. Seeing these two, Xinxin already wanted to take out the chainsaw from his private space and cut them into pieces. Another surgery, and you guys are making me do three major surgeries in one day, each more troublesome than the last. For Elise Sophiel, it was just a matter of replacing the heart; for Farnese Kirei, Xinxin had to use a large amount of magic to snatch her back from the hands of death; and for Kenneth... it was like doing micro-sculpting all over his body, reassembling the burned-out magical circuits and restoring the parts that had been proliferated or lost due to Archer's Origin Bullet. Xinxin thought that perhaps replacing his body would be a better choice, like a certain puppeteer who smoked and drank, giving Kenneth a body that outperformed the original in every way. Unfortunately, considering the need to continue his lineage, replacing his body was too much for Kenneth to accept. So, Xinxin finally placed Kenneth on the operating table. As a price for the excessive consumption of his energy, Xinxin used the fact that Kenneth might have many adverse reactions if he were to be put to sleep during the repair of his magical circuits as an excuse to bind him tightly to the operating table with a large amount of binding magic. Under the effect of the composite binding magic, which even Hercules would find hard to escape, Kenneth was left with only his mouth to move. Xinxin's hands glowed with a gentle white light, and he walked to Kenneth with a smile that looked terrifying to him.

"Just a little pain, you have to endure it, Lord Kenneth." Saying this, Xinxin pushed the magic spheres from his hands into Kenneth's abdomen. Kenneth immediately began to scream in agony. The pain of reassembling the magical circuits was no less than the pain of them being burned, and perhaps even worse. It was like a person who had accidentally broken their leg bone and felt the pain of reattaching it, which was much more intense than the pain of the break. Under Xinxin's magic from an unknown world, Kenneth's damaged magical circuits began to repair themselves, and cold sweat poured down his pale skin.

"Ah... Gah..."

Kenneth could no longer speak, only gasping for breath, his body trembling from the pain.

"Magical circuits, reassembled. Now, the final step, healing the magical circuits." The reassembled magical circuits connected simultaneously, and Kenneth felt the magic flowing through his body again, tears streaming down his face. However, the reason for the tears... the pain and itching from the magic flowing through his damaged body were intense, and Kenneth screamed like a pig being slaughtered... (Xinxin: "I feel so relieved." o((≧▽≦o))

In the end, Kenneth, unable to faint, was tortured by Xinxin's treatment, and when he was pulled out of the laboratory, his eyes were rolling back. Lancer immediately ran to the bedside to check if his master had been subjected to any inhumane experiments under the guise of treatment.

"Don't worry, Lancer. Kenneth's magical circuits have been almost fully restored, but his body hasn't fully recovered from the magic surge. After the Holy Grail War, he will need two months of rest to fully recover." Hearing Xinxin's words, Lancer smiled gratefully, while Archer looked bitter—his trump card, the Origin Bullet, which had caused the magical circuits of all the magicians it had hit to surge and die, had been so easily neutralized... (Being a Magician Killer isn't just about predicting the actions of magicians and skillfully using various firearms. Archer's Origin Bullet, in a sense, counters most magicians. If a magician's magic is hit by the Origin Bullet, the magical circuits that activate the magic are influenced by Archer's Origin, cut off, and then reassembled in a chaotic manner. The Origin Bullet is also extremely powerful, and a gun that has been enchanted can penetrate the front armor of an armored car. So, to block the Origin Bullet, one either needs to have no magical circuits and use a powerful defensive magic, or have a sufficiently strong body to withstand it. Magicians generally don't meet either of these conditions, which is why Archer is called a Magician Killer. Of course, someone with the regenerative abilities of a Dead Apostle might be able to withstand it, but it's unclear where the magic for their spells comes from, probably from changes in their body after being bitten, which automatically generates magic. It's likely that Archer's Origin Bullet is ineffective against Dead Apostles, otherwise, Archer would also have the title of Dead Apostle Hunter.)

—Everyone Gradually Leaving—

"Hey, Xinxin, this is the first time we've walked together at night." Yuezhi and Xinxin were strolling through the night market in Fuyuki City. Although the city was mostly deserted at night due to the Caster group's kidnapping of children, there were still some places suitable for people like Xinxin and Yuezhi... well, their relationship was still a bit ambiguous. They had lived together for nearly six years without taking things further, and Xinxin thought that even if he didn't mind, Yuezhi might have different thoughts about him having a relationship with his sword. And Yuezhi... while she wanted to be with Xinxin, the relationship between a person and a weapon... communication is really important. ╮(╯－╰)╭

"Yeah, it is. It's a good thing the other Masters are allied with us, otherwise, we'd be easy targets at night." However, sometimes Xinxin's luck was really bad. Just as they turned a corner, a man in a black jacket with spiky blonde hair was standing at a lottery stand, throwing large amounts of money into the air.

"Xinxin, I feel like I want to beat up this nouveau riche."

"Me too... just because he has an A-rank Golden Rule, it's just a Golden Rule..."

At that moment, Gilgamesh, who was throwing money into the air, saw Xinxin and Yuezhi and sneered. "Hmph, I didn't expect the bastards to show up while I'm inspecting. What punishment should be given for disturbing the King's mood?"

Xinxin's face darkened, and he stepped in front of Yuezhi. "A king shouldn't keep calling others bastards. In terms of bloodline, I am a pure human, and a certain hybrid of a natural phenomenon and a human has no right to call me that."

"Oh? You know about the King's background. You seem to understand the nature of the gods back then. However, even so, I will punish you for your disrespect." To Xinxin's surprise, the King of Heroes didn't get angry but looked at him with a challenging gaze.

"Let's leave it for tonight. I still have to enjoy the night with Yuezhi. It would be a shame to have such a pleasant evening ruined. King of Babylon, we will come to challenge you tomorrow, fully prepared. Don't run away."

"Tch, I, the King of Heroes, have never backed down from a challenge. I won't be satisfied until I defeat you in your prime."

"Is that so? I look forward to it. I want to see what kind of power the world's oldest king possesses..."
