Type-Moon, I, Sakura Matou, Rewrite Destiny

Each gust of wind was equivalent to the power of a heavy explosive shell.

If Sakura continued fighting like this, she might actually be killed by Lorelei's direct assault.

Sharing the same goal as Lorelei, Sakura also intended to showcase her strength through this duel.

Naturally, she had plenty of energy to spare.

Sakura glanced at the crowd who had retreated to a safe distance to avoid accidental injury due to Lorelei's upgraded magecraft.

With a flip of her palm, a small flame emerged from Sakura's mouth.

The small flame grew rapidly in the wind, expanding...

In the blink of an eye, the flame, initially the size of a match, had instantly grown into a massive fire serpent nearly ten meters long and two to three meters thick.

This wasn't the end. Relying on mere ordinary Fiendfyre to block Lorelei's relentless gusts of wind would be like a fool's dream.

After casting the ordinary Fiendfyre spell, Sakura once again brandished her wand, unleashing a higher-tier blue Fiendfyre spell.

The blue Fiendfyre was for defense, and the red Fiendfyre was for offense.

With both offense and defense magecraft set up.

The pressure suddenly shifted to Lorelei's side.

Whether it was wind blades or gusts of wind.

These two seemingly powerful magecrafts were, in essence, merely modified variants of ordinary magic bullets, created by Lorelei to conserve mana.

Therefore, facing the sudden increase in pressure, Lorelei, who was already displaying a somewhat frenzied demeanor, decided to forgo such gradual upgrades and directly unleashed a magecraft approaching Grand Magic level.

The entire sky suddenly darkened. High-ranking magi in the crowd stepped to the front, casting one defensive magecraft after another.

"Haha, it looks like that little girl from the Matou Family is in trouble..."

Clearly, everyone sensed the unusual power contained within the magecraft Lorelei had unleashed. Moreover, up to this point, aside from a few who already supported Sakura, no one else believed Sakura could defeat Lorelei.

"Child of Helén, stir the waves of the earth!"

A tornado, several meters in diameter, suddenly formed in the darkening sky, like a sword tearing through the earth, instantly connecting the sky and the ground.

Following Lorelei's incantation, as this pitch-black tornado linked the sky and the earth, it churned the duel grounds, with a third of the area rolling like ocean waves under the raging wind.

Watching the tornado approach inch by inch, even though the blue Fiendfyre was burning with all its might to consume the mana within the tornado, it had no effect. It couldn't hinder the tornado's advance even slightly.

Seeing the debris kicked up by the tornado graze Sakura's cheek, Kurumi, who was watching from the side, involuntarily showed a tense expression and grabbed Luó Háo's hand.

Luó Háo felt bewildered and looked at her with disdain.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah..."

"You're not worried that Sakura will be defeated by this trash, are you? Hmph... As expected, Sakura shouldn't have kept these disreputable wastes like you around."

"You... How are you any better? Your flower on your head clearly closed up just now, showing you were nervous too."

Having lived together for so long, Luó Háo knew that the decorative flower on her head changed with her mood, such as closing, budding, or blooming... Kurumi was well aware of this.

"You..."

Pointing at Kurumi, although she wouldn't admit it, Luó Háo was indeed nervous.

Luó Háo, who had personally taught Sakura, knew her capabilities. But strength was one thing; how much of her strength Sakura could actually utilize in combat, given her lack of experience, was something only Sakura herself knew.

In short, before Kurumi's interruption, Luó Háo had indeed felt nervous and had even planned to intervene and rescue Sakura if she encountered danger.

Just as this pair of 'arch-rivals' started bickering again.

Having finished her preparations and gathered her mana, Sakura... counterattacked.

"Divine Fire Opening Path!"

With a bang, Sakura's inferior magic staff, made from her own hair, shattered.

However, she did manage to cast this magecraft.

The blue and red Fiendfyre roared as the magecraft was unleashed.

Following that, a fire tornado, no less grand than the pitch-black tornado, flashing with blue and red flames, slammed into the black tornado with a ground-shaking roar.

91. Sakura's True Power, Cheater vs. Apex of Modern Magecraft (End)

Her slender fingers replaced the shattered magic staff.

Although it made the magecraft significantly harder to control, the Divine Fire Opening Path, under Sakura's constantly waving fingers, powerfully shattered the pitch-black tornado and then, like a true fire god, charged towards Lorelei.

Unbelievable.

If Sakura's previous performance had already been considered genius-level by the magi watching the duel.

Then now... with this move, a 'magecraft' that fused Grindelwald's Fiendfyre spell with Dumbledore's Divine Fire Opening Path, two Harry Potter-inspired magics, was fully unleashed.

Sakura, this little girl who wouldn't even be glanced at by these magi when walking through the Clock Tower, was immediately categorized as a monster by them.

"This is a battle between monsters and monsters..."

A sigh of emotion came from a certain Lord, referring to another monster in his words.

After her Magecraft was shattered by Sakura's Divine Fire Opening Path, Lorelei, radiating a mad aura, refused to surrender.

Instead, she faced the incoming inferno and began chanting again, using an ancient technique passed down within the Bartholomello family for thousands of years.

As if hundreds and thousands of people were speaking at once, after a chant that sounded utterly bizarre to anyone who heard it.

Lorelei, compressing dozens of spell segments into one, let out a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth.

But at the same time, dozens of black tornadoes, even larger than before, descended from the sky, landing around her.

Licking her lips with slight discomfort, Lorelei's mouth, torn by the use of the spell compressor mechanism, bled.

Sniffing the rusty, metallic scent of blood in her mouth, the madness in Lorelei's eyes intensified.

Dozens of tornadoes churned the wind and clouds, even affecting the sky above, causing a fierce gale to blow in a season when no strong winds should occur.

This power, capable of altering the weather, was why Lorelei was considered the pinnacle of modern Magus!

Dozens of pitch-black tornadoes mercilessly crushed the flames Sakura had unleashed with all her might.

They tore apart the entire dueling grounds.

Just as Luó Háo and Kurumi were about to lose their composure and intervene to save Sakura.

Suddenly... a look of relief appeared on Luó Háo's and Kurumi's faces... they smiled.

Worry clouds the judgment. Indeed, the Divine Fire Opening Path was the strongest Magecraft Sakura could currently unleash, and its successful execution even involved some luck.

But... Sakura was never a Magus to begin with.

The path she was meant to walk was not Magecraft.

Although she had previously used her Eastern system as a support due to not knowing the proper method, Sakura had diligently practiced this power since her awakening, treating it as the foundation for eternity without a moment's relaxation. She had already laid a solid groundwork.

As soon as she obtained the method, Sakura could unleash the true power she had been diligently cultivating since her awakening.

And... the method Sakura needed... Luó Háo had already taught her all of it during this time.

"Chant the Yellow Court a thousand times a day... today, the Divine Feet and Phoenix emerge!"

Art of Shrinking Earth: Divine Feet, Twelve Divine Phoenix Palms.

These two techniques were the pinnacle of Luó Háo's centuries of research in Lightness Skill and martial arts. In a way, these two techniques represented the peak of Chinese martial arts in a world.

Due to her training time, Sakura had only managed to learn these two techniques, barely able to use them.

However, even a reluctant use was enough to deal with the situation before her.

Each step covering several meters, as if constantly teleporting.

Treading on the Art of Shrinking Earth: Divine Feet, Sakura, to the renewed astonishment of the onlookers, swayed with each step and passed directly through the wall-like formation of tornadoes.

Then, like a fledgling phoenix, born just yesterday, spreading its wings to soar for the first time.

Using the move "Phoenix Facing the Sun" from the Twelve Divine Phoenix Palms, Sakura, with a unique Eastern grace, like a phoenix playing around the rising sun, appeared beside Lorelei and swung her seemingly harmless small hand at her.

Others might not see it, but that didn't mean Lorelei couldn't.

In Lorelei's eyes, Sakura's hand was now surrounded by a phoenix condensed from Qi.

Although Lorelei didn't know what would happen if she was hit by this phoenix, she definitely didn't want to find out.

"You wish!"

Enduring the sharp pain in her mouth, her face contorted with agony, Lorelei widened her eyes, filled with madness, and pushed her unique, noble Mage Circuits to their absolute limit.

A peculiar Craft Essence, seemingly metallic yet with the texture of fabric, instantly covered Lorelei's hand.

Like a boxer putting on gloves, Lorelei, channeling all her magical power into this strange Craft Essence, met Sakura's descending Phoenix Divine Palm and threw a punch, striking after the palm.

The air exploded, and the space began to warp between the palm and the fist...

On one side was the Qi condensed over years by a cheater using a top-tier Qi Cultivation Method, and on the other was the magical power possessed by the powerful "noble Mage Circuits" of the Bartholomello family, perfected since the early days of the Clock Tower's founding.

The collision of these two was like a needle against a haystack, or Mars hitting Earth.

Even though these two 'young girls' had not yet made physical contact, with nearly half a meter still between them, the clash of these two forces alone caused the various protective barriers set up by the onlookers to shatter one by one.

They didn't know the outcome of this clash.

But they knew very well that if this continued, before Sakura and Lorelei could determine a winner, they, the spectators, would likely be wiped out.

"Lord Marisbury, please stop them quickly!"

Glancing at Roman, shrouded in a black cloak beside him, Marisbury, who was about to summon Artoria to interrupt their exchange, stopped his action of calling for Artoria when he saw Roman gently shake his head.

A hapless Magus was caught in the aftershock of the collision between Sakura and Lorelei's powers and instantly vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs.

Then came the second, the third...

Magus on the outer fringes of the crowd saw this and began to retreat.

But the Magus in the interior, blocked by crowds of people, could only watch helplessly as the spreading power from their collision slowly crushed towards them...

Despair...

Finally, just as a renowned Magus from Northern Europe prepared for a desperate struggle, intending to unleash his power on the chaotic crowd blocking his escape, A magical tome and a crystal-clear short sword suddenly appeared in front of Lorelei and Sakura, respectively.

Immediately following, with a surge of magical energy potent enough to instantly shatter a Magus of the same rank, it erupted precisely near the openings that Lorelei and Sakura had just exposed...

Unable to stop themselves, Sakura and Lorelei were sent flying by the book and sword in an instant.

PS: Wishing all my dear readers a happy Dragon Boat Festival.

Starting tomorrow, we will resume four updates...

92. The Interloping Zelretch, Luó Háo Makes a Move.

Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, known in the world of Magecraft as Zelretch.

He is one of the five legendary "Mages" in the world, the Grand Marshal of the Clock Tower, and also one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles.

The one who had just unleashed a book and a sword, separating Sakura and Lorelei before sending them flying, was him.

"Ho ho ho... I, an old man, have just returned, and you're already making such a commotion, young Lorelei, young Tohsaka Sakura... Are you trying to destroy this Clock Tower?"

Before the person arrived, the voice did.

As these words, tinged with a hint of affection, reached the ears of everyone present, a rift opened between Sakura and Lorelei. Then, a pair of somewhat aged hands emerged from the rift, taking the book and sword that were floating in mid-air. Following this, the tall, dignified old man – Zelretch – stepped into the dueling arena.

However... the moment Zelretch stepped into the dueling arena.

A beautiful woman in palace attire suddenly appeared as if flashing, right in front of him, and launched an attack directly at this true pinnacle of Magus.

Rifts appeared before the Twelve Divine Phoenix Palms unleashed by Luó Háo, banishing the entire barrage, which was powerful enough to shatter a mountain, to other otherworlds.

Everyone present was stunned by Luó Háo's sudden, explosive action.
