Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

The rooms at Ryudo Temple were plentiful, and Ryuudou Issei himself had an agreeable personality. He had previously participated in volunteer work, so during times when the entire city was in distress, he was evidently willing to offer this kind of simple assistance.

He even found new bedding for them.

However, when he heard their request, he seemed somewhat astonished.

"Ah, this..."

As he brought the bedding into a large room and laid it on the tatami floor, Ryuudou Issei's expression became a bit peculiar.

Six sets of bedding were brought in, three placed on each side of the room.

On one side were Rin Tohsaka, Treya, and Saber, who was having difficulty replenishing magic and needed to sleep; on the other side were Tao Yu, Shirou Emiya, and Shinji Matou.

In fact, Shinji Matou had lost his Master status, but he was still crying and clinging to this place, wanting to wait until daylight to escape to the church for asylum.

As for Archer, Hashirama Senju, and Mr. Men, they were on vigilance duty in the manner of Heroic Spirits.

So naturally, this gave Ryuudou Issei quite the information overload. Good grief, what are you up to? You're not including me, huh!

But he didn't say much more, just provided the bedding and left.

"You all go to sleep first, I'm going to learn something with Hashirama."

Tao Yu said to the others.

And they, lacking Tao Yu's energy, were exhausted after a day full of such shocks; indeed, they fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

"Ahaha, what does Master want to learn? That stuff you injected into me felt very familiar."

The big guy Hashirama laughed boisterously; he was speaking about the Wood Release True Yuan.

But his loud voice caused Ryuudou Issei, who had just finished delivering the bedding and was beginning to leave, to stagger in his step, then turn back to look at Tao Yu and Hashirama Senju with a horrified expression. After a quick glance at the room, he scrambled away in haste.

This left Tao Yu somewhat puzzled, feeling that the guy with the glasses was thinking about something impolite.

"Well, I just found out that I might be able to learn something from your Wood Release, but I certainly don't have the same terrifying chakra as you, so I'll just choose a bit to learn."

"No problem, Master, anything you want to learn, I can teach you..."

Hashirama Senju was easygoing and unselfish, readily agreeing.

Though the mysteries of the Sage Techniques were still unclear and complicated, with the basics learned from Ninjutsu and more practical skills like the Wood Clone Technique, along with some Wood Release combined with Sealing Skills, there definitely wouldn't be a big problem.

And considering how many Sealing Techniques Hashirama Senju pulled out for his wife, if Tao Yu's own Sealing Skill were to undergo Deification, with its inherently high quality, he'd need to use more techniques to raise its level...

...

"Master, your proficiency in Sealing Techniques is truly astonishing, you really have overpassed the teacher."

As daylight gradually brightened and sunlight fell upon Ryudo Temple, Hashirama Senju, standing at the temple's entrance, looked at Tao Yu mastering the Five Elements Seal with an emotional expression on his face.

Apart from the Five Elements Seal, after learning Sealing Techniques, his own Master seemed to have made them even stronger!

The Deification of the [Sealing Techniques] was inherently high-quality, and with such an enhancement, Tao Yu's fresh mastery showed a level surpassing that of Hashirama Senju's Sealing Techniques.

It's just that Hashirama Senju, having more chakra, could sometimes rely on brute force, a feat Tao Yu couldn't replicate.

Hashirama Senju also discovered that his own Master had a unique way of using the Wood Release.

The Master's energy was extremely pure; although he could not learn how to use it expansively like Hashirama, his fine control was arguably even better.

The Five Elements Seal could fully integrate with Wood Release in deployment, which greatly impressed Hashirama Senju.

"I don't have the same fearsome chakra as you, so I have to be a bit more cunning. Moreover, I've learned quite a few Ninjutsu techniques in the Hidden Mist Village..."

Tao Yu smiled at the big guy, finding the convenience of Wood Release even greater than he had imagined.

His Shadow Force could carry Yin attribute True Yuan and related Sealing Techniques, and Wood Release could perfectly carry Yang attribute related techniques.

After more consideration, it might be possible to come up with better combinations.

Beyond that, he even discovered a remarkable Illusion Technique, Art of the Dark Walk.

It was probably designed to counteract the Sharingan, and Tao Yu had some recollection of it.

Now that he had finished learning everything, he was ready to clear things up with the big guy.

Hashirama Senju was his Heroic Spirit, and such trust had to be there, besides, this was not information he intended to keep secret. He was just waiting until after the Holy Grail War ended when he obtained the Holy Grail to reveal it to others.

"Hidden Mist Village..."

Hashirama Senju's expression seemed a bit vacant, as if he hadn't quite grasped the information.

"Yes, in another shard. But unfortunately, I have not yet learned any news about Konoha..."

Tao Yu slowly informed him about the changes in the Abyss. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

"...Although Heroic Spirits may not be able to linger in this world for long, perhaps we'll meet again in some other way."

Tao Yu smiled at Hashirama Senju and then continued,

"If I find Konoha later, do you have any message you want me to convey to them?"

Hashirama Senju, listening to Tao Yu, seemed to be in shock, processing the information.

Then he scratched his head somewhat emotionally and said,

"I really wasn't cut out for governance, it seems. I came up with a silly suggestion and created a messy world..."

Hashirama Senju inquired if the Ninja World had reached a state of peace before it fell into the Abyss, and was cruelly confronted with reality through the news sources from the Hidden Mist Village by Tao Yu.

This had a great impact on Hashirama Senju.

"This is not your fault. Looking at the current situation of the Hidden Mist Village and the Sand Hidden Village falling into the Abyss, having enough combat power is actually the fundamental condition for survival. Without strong military power, no matter how rich in resources or wealthy you are, it means nothing. At present, the Ninja World is actually adapting well to the Abyss…"

"Do you have a Sealing Scroll?"

"Yes."

"Then, in the name of the First Hokage and the Pioneer, I will form an offensive and defensive alliance, hoping they will still recognize this…"

Tao Yu handed a Sealing Scroll to Hashirama Senju, and then, under his Hand Seal, he used Konoha's secret language and his own unique notes to add some messages and explanations.

If there is a chance to encounter Konoha in the future, presenting this scroll might help to resolve many troubles.

"Alright, it's dawn. Everyone should discuss, that guy's strength was indeed very strong yesterday, and his spatial destructive power is too troublesome. Perhaps only Mr. Men, who also uses spatial abilities, combined with my Sealing Skill, might stand a chance."

After all, Hashirama Senju is a Ninja and possesses his own battle wisdom. He has vaguely spotted some vulnerabilities in the shiny one.

However, it's a pity that his own power was revealed too quickly, and the enemy is definitely on guard. It would probably be very difficult to exploit these vulnerabilities again next time.

"Yes, go and discuss with them. They should all be up by now. Our current goal is to deal with the other Heroic Spirits first. The Berserker and the Lancer from yesterday were also troublesome, but somewhat easier to handle than that arrogant individual. We should start by locating them…"

Right now, it is unknown who summoned Scathach, but it's possible to probe at Ma's place first. It seems Illyasviel lives in a castle in the woods.

And it seems Goldie will also launch an attack on her. If we take advantage of his assault on Uncle B and rely on Uncle B, who's tough to use as a meat shield, there might be a chance for a fatal strike!

"Since Goldie was given a body by the Holy Grail, I wonder if killing him would drop Gold Coins…"

Tao Yu was somewhat uncertain, having not delved deeply into the relevant setting.

He only remembered that in the UBW route, Goldie was also consumed by the Holy Grail after being defeated, as if the Holy Grail was quite covetous of him.

"Good morning, Mr. Tao."

Rin Tohsaka got up early and waved at Tao Yu.

"Brother Yu, you still need to maintain your energy."

Treya reminded Tao Yu.

"No worries, I have a clear idea of what I'm doing. Now, let's look at our schedule for today. We Masters should stick together, and first let the Heroic Spirits locate Berserker and Lancer. To ease your worries, Archer and Saber will stay to protect us."

Tao Yu expressed his suggestion.

"I have no objections."

The red A was the first to nod in agreement. This was indeed a better approach, protecting the Master himself would allow more peace of mind, and the other party had indeed shown sincerity.

Moreover, judging from the abilities Assassin and Caster showed yesterday, even if they were ambushed on their own, they still had the ability to break free and escape. It was indeed better for them to take action.

"During the day, I look forward to learning a lot from teacher Rin Tohsaka~"

Tao Yu said to Rin Tohsaka with a beaming smile.

As Hashirama already had the advantage of a second Deification and Sealing Techniques as a foundation, along with a base in learning other Ninjutsu, he could mimic and learn very quickly.

But for Rin Tohsaka, it might be starting from scratch.

Hoping for some gains.

"Oh, alright, but it's difficult to get started with magecraft. Shirou knows a bit of magecraft, so he should understand that. I can only help explain a bit, Shirou you listen in as well…"

...

Meanwhile, in various parts of Fuyuki City, strange things were happening.

"What supplies concentrated, no way, mine, all mine! You guys go away, hurry up!"

A supermarket owner pulled down the shutter and roared outside at the people from the Fujimura Group, with a baseball bat swinging wildly in his hand.

Several burly, strong men were surrounding the storefront, but at the moment, none appeared eager to use force. Everyone's nerves were on edge due to the current situation.

"Alright, we just came to talk and hope the owner considers it carefully. We'll come back next time."

After saying this, they turned and left, ready to head to the next area.

But just then, they heard a 'ding-dong~' as something hit the ground behind them. They turned back only to see the baseball bat had fallen to the ground and rolled a bit, while the original owner of the bat had disappeared without a trace.

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know, maybe he's hiding because he's scared of us?"

"Didn't we say we wouldn't hit him?"

The few were somewhat perplexed, the leader went over to pick up the bat and examined it before noticing bloodstains on the grip.

Blood?

"Hey, look…"

When he turned back to tell the others, he found that his companions had also vanished into thin air like magic, leaving only a pair of shoes behind, a pair of blood-stained leather shoes that seemed to belong to one of his companions…

Clang~

The sound of the baseball bat hitting the ground echoed once more…

...

Scenes similar to this were unfolding in various places throughout Fuyuki City, even the church where Shinji Matou had just taken refuge was now left with only two pools of blood. Both, the priest Kotomine Kirei and Shinji Matou, had disappeared without a trace...
