Chapter 033: Setting Off

Gae Dearg, the Crimson Rose of Exorcism, seemed to be Diarmuid's Noble Phantasm. Armor woven from magical energy had no effect against this spear, and any magical enhancements or additional abilities applied to weapons were rendered completely useless when clashing with Gae Dearg's blade.

Not bad, it seemed.

Arondight, the Lake of No Regret, was Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, paired with Excalibur.

Both were swords entrusted to humans by the Lady of the Lake. Sharing the same origin, their durability could match Excalibur. Their blades were engraved with letters of the fairy tongue. This sword was characterized by a radiance like moonlight shimmering on a lake and a blade that would never be damaged.

However, because Lancelot once used this sword to slay a Knight of the Round Table, it lost its qualification as a holy sword and was classified as a demonic sword.

The Red Dragon's heart should be King Arthur's heart. Just breathing could generate magical energy. But since Wang Bo had Spartan blood, the Red Dragon's heart was merely a collectible for him.

As for the Prelati's Spellbook, it should be the Noble Phantasm of the French Marshal, Bluebeard.

This thing was a grimoire bound in human skin. It could summon and command monsters from the deep sea. The book had the ability to function as a magical core, allowing it to autonomously activate magic at the level of grand rituals and ceremonial spells, regardless of the user's own magical power.

The contents recorded within were surely inseparable from the Cthulhu Mythos.

Wang Bo had always been allergic to such content.

As for Enkidu, the Chains of Heaven, it was Gilgamesh's weapon, a Noble Phantasm specialized against gods. It was a tool of binding whose hardness increased with the divinity of the target.

To be honest, if Wang Bo had this thing when facing the Dragon God, he probably wouldn't have been so afraid of it.

As for the last item, the Command Seals, they were the exclusive mark of a Master. In the Fate world, with these, one could summon a Servant.

Wang Bo couldn't help but ask, "If you give me Command Seals, can I summon Servants in other worlds?"

[You're dreaming]

Wang Bo: ...

[Command Seals can only be used in the Nasuverse. When you enter the Nasuverse someday, you can definitely use these Command Seals to summon a Servant. But for now... keep them; they're not bad as collectibles.]

Wang Bo couldn't help but curse, "I used five chances and got this?"

[Lottery is always a mix of wins and losses. Why don't you mention that you also drew Enkidu? Isn't that thing nice?]

"Can you just tell me directly? If I want the Gate of Babylon, how many lottery chances will it cost?"

[Considering you saved the world this time, I can make an exception and give you the Gate of Babylon, but you'll need to pay a thousand lottery chances.]

Wang Bo: "... Stop messing around. Do you think I have a thousand lottery chances? And how can the Gate of Babylon be that expensive?"

[Do you have any misunderstanding about the Gate of Babylon? This thing contains almost all the prototypes of Noble Phantasms in the Nasuverse. Selling it to you for a thousand lottery chances is already a bargain. If it weren't for the fact that you saved a world, I wouldn't bother with you, Host.]

Wang Bo suddenly realized. He had almost forgotten that Gilgamesh's treasury contained too many Noble Phantasms.

Just the ones Wang Bo knew of included Enkidu, Durandal, Dáinsleif, Gram, Caladbolg, Vajra, Harpe, Gungnir, Fangtian Huaji, Vimana, Elixir of Immortality, True Nine Lives, Incense of Resurrection, Cloak of Invisibility, Helmet of Invisibility, Divine Wine, and many other good things.

Although Wang Bo had also collected quite a few weapons, not many could compare to these.

So the Gate of Babylon for a thousand lottery chances wasn't really too much.

"I'm not interested in the contents of the Gate of Babylon. I just want the Gate of Babylon itself. An empty shell would do." Wang Bo had quite a few treasures on hand, and many things could be stored in the Gate of Babylon.

During a fight, he could open the Gate of Babylon and project weapons like bullets, with immense power and very little magical energy consumption. The actual magical energy used was only the activation cost of the Gate of Babylon.

Gilgamesh used this technique to defeat many enemies.

Even the demigod Heracles fell to this technique.

That was enough to prove the technique's power was considerable.

Of course, Gilgamesh could use this technique to defeat enemies mainly because his treasury had enough weapons, and Wang Bo also had many weapons, including a large number of replicas of Gungnir.

So if Wang Bo used this technique, its power should not be inferior to Gilgamesh's.

More importantly, this technique was very cool.

He didn't even have to move himself, and the enemy would be down.

[If it's just the Gate of Babylon, I can sell it to you cheaper. After all, without the treasures inside, this thing is essentially just a warehouse. Ten lottery chances, and you can take it.]

"Deal."

Wang Bo thought for a moment, and although it pained him, he still bought it.

After obtaining the Gate of Babylon, Wang Bo transferred all his weapons into it, including some treasures.

Then, Wang Bo gave it a try.

Opening the Gate of Babylon, golden ripples of light spread out behind Wang Bo, and sharp swords and spears emerged.

With just a thought, Wang Bo could hurl these weapons to attack enemies.

Afterward, with another thought, the Gate of Babylon would automatically retrieve the weapons, which was quite convenient.

This purchase was not a loss.

But it still hurt a bit.

This time, coming to this world, he had fought tooth and nail, barely accumulating seventy lottery chances. But after just a few words, he had spent forty chances.

Now only thirty remained. Adding the ten he had saved, Wang Bo now had a total of forty lottery chances.

He could only use eight chances for designated world draws.

Not even enough for a ten-draw.

Wang Bo resolved to earn more lottery chances as soon as possible. If he could draw a treasure that helped eliminate his curse, he would hit the jackpot.

The possibility was slim, but not nonexistent. It all depended on luck.

Today's luck was mediocre; he didn't draw what he wanted. So Wang Bo didn't continue drawing but chose to save his chances.

Next time.

[Host, it's time for you to set off.]

"I know, but let me ask: is the next world also this dangerous, and am I still fixing bugs?"

[Not exactly. You'll know when you arrive at the next world.]

"Alright."

Seeing that the cheat wasn't willing to say more, Wang Bo had no choice. He packed up, sent Hela back to the Ghost Rider world, and then set off alone for the new world.
