Why do I need to give myself hints to use both special abilities? And why do both special abilities sometimes become more powerful?
Why was it that at singularity F, I was able to ignore all kinds of terrain and attacks when I only wanted to escape?
……
All kinds of anomalies that had not been discovered, or that had been subconsciously ignored after being discovered, flashed wildly through Lin Qi's mind.
Every time a question or a picture flashed by, it was like pushing open a door or tearing off a layer of wrapping paper, bringing Lin Qi closer and closer to the answer.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
……
The sound of flints striking each other was heard throughout the space, and the frequency of the sound increased from slow to fast, and soon it became as fast as firecrackers.
……
"Crack!"
finally--
'All this is...
The power of the heart?
Along with the last "crackling" sound, a spark flashed in Lin Qi's pupils, and a faint flame flickered in it.
【Fire of Heart】——Ignite!
The Earl, who saw all these changes, looked like he had seen some priceless treasure. He suddenly became crazy and the ghost face reappeared on his face.
"That's right! Just embrace your true power! Give up your trust in us Servants and rely on your own strength..."
“—I don’t want to.”
This time it was Lin Qi's turn to interrupt the Earl.
"……what?"
The Earl's expression suddenly froze and he looked at Lin Qi blankly.
But Lin Qi slowly stood up, no longer as weak as before.
The power enough to split mountains and rocks returned to his body, and the warmth from his heart swept over his whole body, making Lin Qi, who had originally had a little cold hands and feet, feel warm again.
"I will never give up my trust in you. How can I just give up on something like this just by saying a few words?"
Lin Qi scratched his head and looked very distressed.
Then Lin Qi looked at the Earl's stiff expression, smiled knowingly and said:
"I will always trust you as my servants, even if I meet Goetia again, so -"
"Count, lend me your power!"
Lin Qi raised his fist to the Earl.
It is to borrow the power of the servants, but it is also different from the previous form.
The Earl stared at Lin Qi's actions in a daze.
The pupils flickered with illusory flames, and the smile on his face was gentle but extremely firm...
“…Hahahahahahaha!”
Looking at Lin Qi like this, the Earl couldn't help but cover his face and laughed wildly.
Goetia, you were the one who let him out!
After laughing wildly for a while, the Earl immediately stopped smiling and stretched out his fist towards Lin Qi.
“——I couldn’t ask for more!”
The Earl's fist collided heavily with Lin Qi's fist.
He would not lend his power to Lin Qi like the previous servants did, and Lin Qi did not need such power.
Obtained skill: [Steel Resolve (EX)]!
Skill changed: [Evader (B)]
→【Tiger, blazing with fire (A)】!
——Not an "escapee", but a "free-spirited person"
Under the connection of the mind, and driven by Lin Qi's true determination, his most critical skill changed.
Then.
"【Tiger, the flames are blazing (A)】!" ×2.
With the uniform voice, the figures of the two people turned into a stream of light that shot straight into the sky, rushing towards the top of the "Prison Tower" without dodging or avoiding.
The infinite transformed into the finite, the ceiling and the floor seemed to be nothing, all penetrated by the flowing light transformed by the two people, without posing any obstruction at all.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment had passed.
Flowing light rushed out of the "prison tower".
……

Chapter 96: Three stars in the slanting moon, wind spirit and moon shadow.
In Chaldea, where it is hard to tell whether it is night or day.
The cool light in the corridor shines into the dim house from the open door, leaving the shadow of the door frame on the ground. Although the light is not strong, it is enough to outline the contours of indoor objects. The atmosphere is at least much warmer than that of the empty corridor.
Inside the room, a bed lay quietly in the corner. The young man lying on it moved his fingers slightly, and his originally weak breathing gradually became stronger.
"Well……"
His chest rose and fell for a few seconds, and after mumbling unconsciously, Lin Qi finally slowly opened his eyes.
“…a familiar ceiling.”
Looking at the smooth ceiling that revealed a hint of high-tech style, Lin Qi knew that he had returned to Chaldea.
With a sigh of relief, Lin Qi slowly but easily got up from the bed. It was not like before when even getting into bed was extremely difficult.
"Tap..."
Instinctively and casually pushing his feet into the shoes beside the bed, Lin Qi clenched his remaining fist, which produced a "crunching" sound.
'All the strength is back, and stronger than before.'
Although there was no test, it was his own body after all. Lin Qi could feel that his body was stronger than when the third singularity ended.
After feeling the enhanced strength a little, Lin Qi looked down at his heart.
He could see a transparent flame emitting a faint golden glow burning there.
"【Heart Fire】...my true ability..."
Lin Qi chewed over the name he had given it, slowly realizing the power contained in it.
"A power that can trigger miracles...?"
With a hint of doubt, Lin Qi said softly.
Although it sounds a bit abstract, it has just awakened. Even Lin Qi, its owner, cannot see its full picture.
Only some of the abilities can be roughly perceived.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Qi has time to slowly explore its power.
Putting the matter behind him for the moment, Lin Qi looked at the flag leaning against the door.
A pitch-black, slightly shiny flagpole was leaning against the wall, and the long flag dragged to the ground, but one could still see golden irises, red roses, and a pirate logo whose colors seemed a little mismatched.
It has always been there, just as Lin Qi judged in the "Prison Tower".
Lin Qi stood up, walked to the front of the flag, looked at it and took a deep breath.
Then he stretched out his hand, grasped the flagpole without hesitation and picked it up.
The transparent flame spreads across the entire flag, centered on the place where the hand is held.
Wherever the flames passed, the scratches that had appeared from resisting the attack were instantly repaired as if they had never appeared.
In the blink of an eye, the flames spread to the flag.
"Whoosh-"
With a "swish" sound, the flag fluttered freely in the air without any wind.
The flames covered the entire flag, and from a distance it looked like Lin Qi was holding a huge burning torch in his hand.
But this is not destruction, but reshaping and refining!
"What will happen?"
Lin Qi stared intently at the changing patterns on the flag in the flames.
He also had no idea how the manifestation in his mind would be reflected in this treasure.
After a few seconds, the flames dissipated, and the re-refined pattern appeared in Lin Qi's sight.
Lin Qi was stunned.
He was stunned for a second, then he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Is this unexpected or reasonable?"
On the flag that had been refined by flames, the golden irises and red roses were pushed to the side, and were spread everywhere as decorative patterns.
Even the pirate symbol that Drake once drew was divided into four, distributed in the four corners of the flag.
As for the center, it is surrounded by olive branches, like the letter "C".
Also - the symbol of Chaldea.
Noble Phantasm Upgrade: [My Heart Says So (B)]
→【My heart is like this (A+)】
Although Lin Qi was quite surprised when he saw this, after thinking about it a little, Lin Qi understood why it was like this.
More than six months, where else could Lin Qi have spent more time than in Chaldea?
This symbol spread all over Chaldea has been imprinted in Lin Qi's heart without him realizing it.
In addition to this, Lin Qi also discovered information that he had only just received.
Some words were written on this treasure that originally belonged to Jeanne in an unknown way.
[My Master is a person who will choose to move forward even when crying and feeling pain.]
"Haha, someone really saw through me."
Lin Qi raised his head and smiled helplessly.
Indeed, even if he had not met Jeanne in the woods, he would have continued to try to find Siegfried's trace in the singularity alone after spending a night crying.
This was actually seen through by Joan of Arc, with whom she had only been together for three days.
After calming down, Lin Qi put the flag to the ground.
He looked at the fluttering flag with a smile, his eyes bright and sharp.
'The path to salvation lies within!'
"Hey, after resting for so long, it's time to think seriously about how to capture the Beast of Mercy!"
Lin Qi exhaled and said with a slightly excited tone.

I seemed to have had a dream.
