Chapter 1074: Chapter 741: Reshaping the Timeline Chapter 1074: Chapter 741: Reshaping the Timeline “Of course, saying 'ten consecutive summons yield five gold heroes'… for Duanmu Huai, it was just a saying.
After all, he only had one Saint Crystal Stone, which he might have obtained from beating up Rave, so in the end, he could only summon one. Although Duanmu Huai didn't have high expectations for the strength of these Heroic Spirits, it wouldn't hurt to try his luck.
Even though card drawing is routine in mobile games, Duanmu Huai had never seen it done in this game. Although Soul Walkers do draw Soul Cards, these cards aren't gathered through in-game purchases like mobile games, but rather, Soul Walkers can acquire them simply by encountering them in the Fragmented World.
Just like the several worlds Duanmu Huai currently possesses, if he wanted, he could completely summon all the students he knew from Manaria College, or the forest inhabitants of the Mistelina faction in the Borderland forest, as well as the angels from Holy City and Heaven.
Also, the Manaria Magic that Duanmu Huai had learned himself, counted as a type of Soul Card.
In a nutshell, every Fragmented World is equivalent to a Card Library, and players only need to find and draw the cards they want, just like playing poker.
According to Doctor Roman, in a proper Holy Grail War, Masters are supposed to summon Heroic Spirits through Holy Relics, which are items used by the heroes during their lifetimes, to ensure the summoned heroes were connected to these relics. Saint Crystal Stones are entirely random… well, that's a bit like the gacha mechanic in mobile games.
Anyway, let's give it a try.
Following Doctor Roman's instructions, Duanmu Huai placed the Saint Crystal Stone on the summoning altar. The next moment, the stone suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, then instantly turned into several glowing spheres, unfolding and starting to spin rapidly around the altar. Then, they suddenly contracted and merged into one, forming a roaring beam of light!
When the beam of light dispersed, a petite figure appeared before Duanmu Huai and the others.
It was a girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a Magic Wand in her hand, with light purple hair tied into a ponytail fluttering behind her, and ears like those of a fairy. She was dressed in an elaborate gown of a similar hue to her hair, also holding a Magic Wand.
Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, the girl first froze, then awkwardly lowered her head with a hint of unease.
“Greetings, MASTER, please allow me to formally introduce myself. My class is CASTER, my name is Medea. I'm a disciple of the moon goddess Hecate, a former high priestess at the temple, diligently practicing magic. So please, consider me a magical assistant and command me as you wish.”
“Hmm, a CASTER, huh? That's fine.”
Looking at the girl before him, Duanmu Huai nodded. Honestly, if it were up to him, he wouldn't be too interested in other classes of Servants, since SABER, LANCER, RIDER, BERSERKER combined couldn't even defeat him. If anything, he would prefer an ARCHER since his own long-range attack was… hard to explain.
But a CASTER isn't bad, right?
But a priestess… a priestess is a Priest, right?
“What kind of magic do you specialize in?”
“Yes, I specialize in healing and support magic. I'm not very good at offensive magic…”
“That's fine.”
For Duanmu Huai, not having grand scale offensive magic was a bit inconvenient, but just a bit, considering that from what he heard from Mash, the so-called Holy Grail War was essentially a brawl between seven Heroic Spirits. It wasn't like fighting the Green Skins or the Tyron Swarms, so lacking AOE didn't matter since he was confident that he could take on seven Heroic Spirits at once.
On the contrary, support magic was very useful for Duanmu Huai. Both Ann and Greiya were good at attacking but not at support… Although Lorena was a Priest, she was more of a combat type… Ah, thinking about it just made Duanmu Huai feel exhausted.
He really lacked someone skilled in healing and support, which, to him, was much more valuable than offensive magic.
“Wuwah…”
However, compared to Duanmu Huai, Doctor Roman at this moment was staring wide-eyed and unbelieving at Medea.
“Is that the Medea…? She's changed her personality completely. Women truly are devils…”
“What are you saying? Do you talk like that?”
Duanmu Huai glanced at Roman; what kind of talk was that in front of a girl?
“That's right, Doctor. That's very rude.”
Beside him, Mash also nodded.
“No wonder the Doctor has no luck with women, now I finally understand why he's so obsessed with virtual idols.”
“Oh?”
Hearing Mash's comment, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow and looked at Roman.
I didn't expect you, a pretty boy, to be a streamer fanatic?
Sensing the glances from Duanmu Huai and Mash, Doctor Roman immediately exploded in protest.
“I, I'm telling you guys… my lack of luck with women has nothing to do with being a fan of Magic Mary! I apologize to all idol fans!”
“Who cares about you? You're just another loser charmed by a virtual idol on the screen, happily throwing money at them whenever they smile at you. Come back to reality. They aren't smiling just for you, you know. Behind the screen, there are hundreds, thousands of pretty boys just like you watching her.”
