[h1]Fumio Residence[/h1] Huangdi assessed the work that he had accomplished within twenty hours. As servants did not need sleep, Huangdi stayed up working studiously to fortify his base of operations. He had immediately realized that the house and its surrounding areas did not provide much in terms of terrain based advantage, and to rectify this Huangdi had sought to establish his main efforts under the house. An advanced boundary field that oppressed spiritual bodies was already put up, with a dual purpose of also notifying Huangdi and any familiar he linked his consciousness with as to the location of spiritual bodies unknown to Huangdi within the boundary field, which extended in a circular area almost a hundred meters outward from the house at its center. Any servant entering this field would immediately have their parameters lowered by one rank, heavily hampering their combat capacity. To the servant, it would feel as if they were constantly being forced to move up a steep incline under heavy pressure and gravity. In terms of stationary defense, this was all Huangdi erected. Unless he faced assault from more than one servant, Huangdi was confident he could easily defeat enemies in his territory with just this field. Huangdi had significant prowess in spiritual evocation and exorcism practiced by Chinese Wu, and such magecraft would provide exceptionally damaging to servant bodies. Of course, as the highest of spiritual bodies, Servants would not immediately be dispelled by dispelling chants and spells, but would still suffer extreme damage should they be struck. Exorcism spells created from divine words from the Age of Gods were no mere farce, and easily trumped the sacraments of the church in terms of spiritual disruption. In addition, Huangdi had a huge repertoire of skills such that the magecraft he performed would seem to be true magic to modern magi. His words casted magecraft on the level of high thaumaturgy, which modern magi would spent minutes chanting to perform. In a battle between Huangdi and a modern magi, it would be like fighting a machine gun with an arquebus. Destructive blasts of light that could eradicate servant bodies in one strike, mastery of all five eastern elements consisting of fire, earth, wood, metal, and water, spatial transference and interruption, and so on. All feats that would be deemed miracles to mages of the modern era. Perhaps most frightening out of all the talents Huangdi possessed was his divination and clairvoyance. Chinese magecraft is renowned for its divination and prophetic capacities, and Huangdi as its progenitor was an absolute grand master. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Huangdi possessed complete future sight in his battles. With absolute confidence in his abilities, Huangdi spent his time creating items to aid his master instead. Already he had prepared an Oracle, a high tier mystic code that divined whenever a threat was apparent in a hundred meter radius. A shamanistic Wu charm to ward off magic, equating to a magic resistance of C rank, was also created. Fate altering seals that inflated the capacity to alter destiny, or in other words, artifacts that heavily enhanced luck, were formed. Perhaps most brilliant of the items Huangdi had prepared was a mystic code crafted from a Qilin's antler, a phantasmal beast that he had summoned with his noble phantasm. The antler took the form of a radiant silver ring that would grant Fumio a divine protection rendering him unable to be harmed by any hostile attack below high thaumaturgy unless they came from those of pure heart and intention. The Qilin Huangdi had summoned lay beside him in the underground cavern Huangdi had excavated below Fumio's house, resting peacefully. Qilin were intelligent and peaceful creatures, and Huangdi treated this one with the utmost respect. They were humble and heralded the coming of great sages, symbols of human accomplishment. Huangdi gazed at the artifacts he had created, which were laid out on a golden cloth to view. After admiring his work for a second, not with pride but with the satisfaction a true artisan would derive, Huangdi utilized his noble phantasm once more, summoning a Shangyang, a monstrous beast that was but an exotic looking bird around the size of a small housecat with beautiful plumage in deep prussian blue shade. The bird was a supremely swift carrier and messenger, being able to ride the winds and water with expert alacrity far faster than a regular automobile. Huangdi tied up the artifacts in the golden cloth, sealing it neatly and giving it to the Shangyang, which grasped it in its talons and flew out of a tunnel that opened automatically up for it into the air and to Fumio's location.
