Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 37 Kirigakure Start

Chapter 37: Kirigakure's Opening

Li Xiang glanced at the clock on the wall. It was nine o'clock in the evening.

There was still some time before the attack of the water monkey.

Although he was a bit drowsy at the time, he still noticed something was off.

For example, the eyes and movements were more human-like.

Li Xiang got up and put his katana under the covers.

He was certain that it was the work of a magician.

The reason being that the cruise ship was Astati's personal item.

As a magician, she would definitely leave behind some kind of barrier or warning magic.

Li Xiang recalled the previous incident of the monkey stealing peaches. It was fast, but within his acceptable range.

And he felt that its movements were not smooth enough.

This feeling was the same as when he left the ninja world and returned to his own body.

This once again proved that the water monkey was being controlled by someone.

"I should be able to kill it."

Li Xiang thought seriously for a few seconds and said.

He was not the kind of person who sought help when faced with difficulties.

Besides, with the simulator, he couldn't possibly fail.

"Nick."

Li Xiang nudged the nearby hidden fox.

Although Nick had sensed the arrival of the water monkey earlier, he didn't have time to react.

So Li Xiang planned to give it an early warning. It had identification skills, so there might be some surprises.

"Not sleeping in the middle of the night, are you trying to ascend to heaven?"

Nick grumbled with sleepy eyes.

"Wait, there's a water monkey..."

"Where, where?"

Nick jumped up energetically, asking, "Where is the water monkey?"

Was the hidden fox so obsessed with the water monkey?

Li Xiang pointed to the window and said, "It hasn't arrived yet."

Nick immediately understood, lay back down to rest, but took out his nunchaku.

Li Xiang looked around and asked, "Where was your nunchaku stored before?"

"Oh, it's my other skill, storage space."

Nick explained.

"You actually have such a good thing?"

"It can't hold much, just the size of a bedside table, twenty centimeters high."

"That's already pretty good."

Li Xiang was a bit envious.

Space was a rare skill no matter where it was.

But fortunately, Nick's things were his things.

He also had this storage space.

After the conversation ended, Li Xiang and the hidden fox closed their eyes and pretended to sleep.

It was unknown how long had passed when Li Xiang heard the sound of water droplets falling on the ground.

Then he felt a cold wind blowing.

It should be because the water monkey had opened the window.

Li Xiang continued to pretend to sleep.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached.

Although he had lost the support of Chakra, his ability to locate by sound was still there.

Estimating the distance, Li Xiang lifted the bedsheet without hesitation and threw it at the water monkey as a prop to block its vision.

At the same time, with his right hand at the fastest speed, he stabbed the katana out.

The weapons collected by Astati might not be divine weapons, but they were definitely top-notch.

The katana almost pierced through the water monkey's back without any obstruction.

Piercing it through the intestines.

But there was no scream.

Li Xiang's expression froze, and he let go of the katana and jumped back.

A faint green substance, like flowing water, surged towards the blade, instantly turning into molten iron.

"Ha!"

The nunchaku in Nick's hand swung, leaving only afterimages.

In an instant, it struck the water monkey's head.

"Well done!"

Li Xiang picked up his backup weapon, a fruit knife on the fruit plate, and threw it directly.

The fruit knife was like a shuriken, accurately hitting the water monkey's heart.

Fresh red blood gushed out.

The water monkey's movements became momentarily sluggish.

Seeing this, Nick's eyes gleamed, and he smashed the nunchaku down.

The overwhelmingly powerful blow made the water monkey completely lose consciousness.

An invisible fluctuation spread.

The water monkey twitched twice and then stopped moving.

Just then, the door opened, and Astati appeared.

She was wearing loose pink pajamas, with her long hair in a mess.

It indicates that she left in a hurry.

"Are you guys okay? I sensed abnormal souls."

Astati examined Li Xiang with her light golden eyes.

Nick clearly felt ignored.

"We're fine."

Li Xiang looked at the water monkey.

At this moment, it looked ordinary, like an ordinary monkey in a zoo.

"Short-tailed monkey, a type of macaque, larger in size, usually over fifty centimeters tall, but with a short tail."

Nick looked disappointed and said, "This can't be the water monkey, and it can't have the ability to fuse with a sword like before."

Astati squatted down, took out a green gemstone, and crushed it into powder.

Gradually, a human figure appeared on the body of the short-tailed monkey.

"Methods of the Necromancy Department."

Astati said expressionlessly, "No wonder it was able to bypass my barrier. It seems that my power is still insufficient."

Li Xiang recalled the information in the records.

The Necromancy Department mainly consists of two magical systems.

One is necromancy, manipulating and using spirits.

The so-called spirits are the souls left behind by humans or special animals and plants after death for various reasons.

The legendary ruler of the Necromancy Department, Euryphus, even has an army of evil spirits.

The other is summoning magic, as the name suggests, summoning powerful beings.

For example, summoning heroic spirits that have transcended human existence after death through rituals, and enslaving and commanding them, is called a Servant.

But the heroic spirits summoned by magicians are just copies and do not have personalities.

Only in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, with the power of the Holy Grail, can Servants with personalities and power be summoned.

And the water monkey in front of them is obviously the work of necromancy.

By trapping a certain spirit in the body of a short-tailed monkey, it can kill invisibly under remote control.

And it is difficult to trace back to the whereabouts of the magician.

"It seems that someone doesn't welcome me."

The first person Li Xiang thought of was Weber.

After all, he took away the position of the Elmero family.

But Weber doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

"Rest, I will investigate."

Astati took out a ruby, sealed the body of the water monkey, and said, "There is no absolute crime in the world of magicians."

Li Xiang nodded.

His current level is limited, and he can't find out anything, so it's better to leave it to Astati.

Although they have only been together for a short time, he can tell that his senior sister is an extremely proud person.

Causing trouble on her ship is undoubtedly offending her.

Astati closed the door and looked at the number 303 on the door. She spread her hand, and a diamond floated up.

Immediately, it turned into invisible ripples and disappeared.

The next day, Li Xiang came to the martial arts hall, planning to receive guidance from his senior sister.

Although he learned a lot of physical techniques in Konoha, there should be no problem in understanding the fighting skills of magicians.

"There are many courses in the Clock Tower, but I only learned two."

Astati wore a white training suit, and her hair was fixed with a black diamond-shaped headband.

She looked like a cold and beautiful girl from the student council.

"The Eight Extremities Fist and the Swordsmanship: Yagyu Shin'ei-ryu. The former is from Li Shuwen, and the latter is from Yagyu Daimonji. Do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn!"

Li Xiang answered without hesitation.

Not learning would be foolish.

Li Shuwen and Yagyu Daimonji are both Servants in FGO.

They are quite powerful.

But he was also a little puzzled.

Both the Eight Extremities Fist and Yagyu Shin'ei-ryu have many lineages.

Why did Astati only mention Li Shuwen and Yagyu Daimonji?

Could it be that she really learned from them?

Li Xiang didn't believe it.

Both of them have been dead for many years.

Because of his photographic memory talent, Li Xiang learned quickly.
