Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

Today is October 7th, an ordinary day. At most, it's the last day of China's Golden Week holiday. The next day, the overworked corporate slaves and students will return to their jobs and classes.

The last day should be a time to relax.

However...

What greeted Li Mo was a battle.

The **Amenoma Kageuchi** was gripped in his hand. Magic gathered in his eyes, elevating his perception to a superhuman level.

In a single breath, with the enhancement of magic, Li Mo was fully armed.

In one day, while absorbing the foundational magic of this world, he had also integrated his own magecraft with the current world. Almost all of the magecraft from the Type-Moon world could be executed here.

Itsuwa's usefulness had already expired.

The door opened by Kanzaki Kaori perfectly aligned with Li Mo's own intentions.

In the air, Li Mo saw seven steel wires rapidly appearing before him.

The sword wielded by the Saint was a decoy. The real killing move was the seven special steel wires controlled by her other hand.

—Even someone with ordinary vision like Kamijou Touma could notice this little secret, let alone Li Mo.

"Just a heads-up, you'll have to pay for the wall you're about to destroy."

**「Spell of Thororm」**

Up until now, this spell had proven incredibly useful. It nullified all observed weapons, almost like a magical version of Accelerator.

It wasn't a reflection, nor did it require calculations. Simply by observing, it could render them ineffective. Aside from the spell's inherent weaknesses, the only limitation was the amount of magical energy it consumed.

As a monster, the vast magical energy contained within his spiritual core perfectly compensated for this flaw.

The moment he nullified the Seven Heavens Slash.

The spell activated.

Li Mo said, "Well, until we meet again, Miss Kanzaki."

His figure vanished from the spot.

"A spatial teleportation spell?"

Kanzaki Kaori, who had broken through the wall, looked at the spot where Li Mo had disappeared. Behind her was the door leading to the hallway, but it remained firmly shut.

She quickly dismissed the distracting thought and grabbed Itsuwa. "Let's go."

"Yes, Saint."

The Saint and the mage left.

If not for the destroyed wall, no one would have known that a brief conflict had taken place here.

Spatial teleportation magecraft—a spell mastered by Medea. As Medea's student, Li Mo had access to the knowledge of this spell.

"Unfortunately, I haven't mastered it yet."

Li Mo's figure reappeared in the same spot.

In that instant, he used magecraft to bend light, achieving visual invisibility. Then, he suppressed sound, achieving auditory invisibility, and finally, he masked his scent, achieving olfactory invisibility.

Even the fluctuations of magical energy were suppressed, and the spiritual core of a Servant took up most of his being.

—It was an approximation of spiritualization.

Or rather, it was a crude imitation of spiritualization, combined with Li Mo's own understanding, resulting in a unique spell.

"The effects of the 'Bystander Dispersal' spell are fading? That's a handy spell."

"Time to leave."

As for the wreckage in front of him, what did it have to do with Li Mo? The one suffering the loss was the landlord, after all.

He had been renting the place using magecraft without paying.

...

...

The city of Avignon was currently unfriendly to foreigners, especially those with East Asian features. The protesters here were hostile to Academy City, which was located in Japan.

Kanzaki Kaori and Itsuwa moved discreetly, leveraging the core principle of the Amakusa-style: blending into the crowd. Even with their East Asian features, they went unnoticed and avoided hostility.

They found a safe guesthouse. After ensuring the room was free of eavesdroppers, the two began to talk.

"Saint, is it alright for you to be here?"

The Amakusa-style had not yet fully joined the Anglican Church, but the Saint had. Given the current situation, the Anglican Church wouldn't send anyone to Avignon. This meant that the Saint's presence here was likely a private action.

Just like when she had appeared in Japan to help the Amakusa-style against the Knights.

Kanzaki Kaori said, "It's fine, Itsuwa. I'm more concerned about the person who kidnapped you... Who is he? Are you sure he's not from the Roman Catholic Church?"

"Yes, I'm certain he's not from the Roman Catholic Church. There's no trace of any religious affiliation on him."

"A member of a magical organization?"

"Possibly. He called himself a swordsman, an onmyōji, and a mage," Itsuwa replied.

Swordsman, onmyōji, mage.

The first two titles reminded Kanzaki Kaori of her homeland.

"Itsuwa, tell me everything you know about him."

"Yes, Saint."

Li Mo, male, age unknown, identity unknown.

As he had claimed, he was a swordsman, an onmyōji, and a mage. From his weapon, it was clear he knew swordsmanship. Itsuwa had personally witnessed him commanding shikigami, confirming his identity as an onmyōji. She had also seen him cast spells, proving he was a mage.

His physical abilities surpassed those of an ordinary person, possibly approaching the level of a Saint.

The reason she said "possibly" was because Itsuwa had never fought a Saint before.

"From the structure of his magic, it seems to be Western magecraft. But in terms of principles... I've never seen anything like it."

"I see."

Kanzaki Kaori realized that the man was hiding his true identity.

Most of the information Itsuwa had was likely disguised.

So, what was his goal?

"By the way, he probably knew about the method I used to send information. Yet, he didn't stop me."

Yesterday, the mysterious mage had stayed next door, and shikigami had been monitoring her the entire time... Thinking about it, she could have escaped last night?

She shared her speculation with Kanzaki Kaori. The Saint said, "That's very possible. So, what's his motive?"

What could it be?

He abruptly captured Itsuwa, then just as abruptly released her...

Especially in Avignon, a place of such significance...

"Saint, the proxy leader is calling."

"Answer it."

After a brief conversation, the call ended. Shortly after, Kanzaki Kaori received another call on Itsuwa's phone.

"Tsuchimikado, what do you want?"

"Big sis Kanzaki, don't be so cold. You're in Avignon, right? Can you stay a little longer?"

"Why?"

"Touma and I are heading to Avignon soon. Our goal is to resolve the issue with the C-Document. We'll discuss the details when we meet. This is an order from the Archbishop."

"Understood..."

Academy City was sending people to Avignon. The situation was becoming even more complicated.

Even Kanzaki Kaori could smell the tension in the air.

"What should we do next, Saint?"

"Itsuwa, you stay here. I'll go look for clues about that man."

Kanzaki Kaori gave her orders.
