"I'm going back again..."
Looking at the lit street lights in the park, Illya jumped off the bench, preparing to take the subway to the nearest place to the suburbs, and then return to the castle on foot.
Since she has lived as a prisoner in Einzbern family for eighteen years, she especially likes and enjoys the feeling of freedom brought by walking alone on the empty streets.
But before this legal lolita walked out of the park, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her, blocking her way.
And this figure was none other than Sakura, who had taken off her school uniform and put on a tight-fitting combat outfit.
Behind her is Medusa who has taken off his blindfold.
Since both of them have long purple hair, they look like sisters from a distance.
"Sister, am I your second target?" Illya raised his head and asked in an uncertain tone.
She was no fool and knew what the pair had done last night.
It can't be a coincidence that he suddenly appears here now.
"That's right! You are my second target. Tonight, both you and your Heracles will retire from this Holy Grail War."
After saying that, Sakura raised the Spear Staff in her hand and suddenly released a burst of cold air, covering the park with a layer of white frost.
"Berserker! Kill them!"
After realizing the opponent's intention, Illya immediately summoned his own Servant, and quickly activated his best magic, planning to fight to the death.
She knew very well that in a one-on-one battle, there was no way she could be Sakura or Medusa's opponent.
Therefore, the only chance of winning is to engage in a two-on-two melee, using Heracles's powerful strength, speed, agility and immortality to bear some of the damage for himself.
Anyway, Twelve Labors, as long as you die once, the same method will lose its effect.
Therefore, when the enemy's cards are exhausted but Twelve Labors is not exhausted, the scale of victory will tilt in the opposite direction.
"Roar!!!!!!"
As soon as Heracles appeared, he immediately entered a very high state of madness, roaring and rushing towards the opponent.
"Hmph! Naive!"
Sakura smiled contemptuously, and suddenly released biting white frost centered around herself.
moment!
Heracles's feet were frozen in place.
Although the ice was breaking and loosening with the terrifying muscle power, it still successfully restricted his ability to move.
"Petrifying Gaze!"
"Bellerophon (Bellerophon)!"
Medusa showed his trump card without hesitation and rushed over on the white Pegasus.
boom!!!!!!!!
No surprises!
Heracles's huge body was first knocked out violently, and then trampled by the horses' hooves. The sounds of fractures and broken internal organs could be heard endlessly.
Another life lost...
But the next second, Twelve Labors activated, and he resurrected with full health, waving the weapon in his hand and roaring.
Obviously, Bellerophon can no longer cause fatal injuries to it from now on.
"He is truly worthy of the legendary Hercules. Noble Phantasm is like cheating at this level." Medusa commented with a smile.
"If he comes with other classes, he will indeed be a strong enemy. But now, he is just a brainless beast. The best way to kill the beast is not to fight head-on, but to use the power of wisdom."
Saying that, Sakura released Frost Nova again to freeze the opponent.
Medusa also supplements Petrifying Gaze to ensure that the target cannot escape.
Since the resistance to Bellerophon was increased after death, there is absolutely nothing that can be done about these two control skills.
He could only watch as Sakura's hands glowed with red fire that was completely opposite to the white frost.
Before Illya could react to what was happening, a huge, extremely hot fireball shot out.
boom!
The fireball the size of a washbasin hit Heracles's face hard, instantly burning half of his head into black coke.
The fourth life is gone too...
There is no doubt that this is not an ordinary fireball technique, but a Flame Strike that requires ten points of flame talent. It is also jokingly called a big fireball by players. It is the most terrifying skill that causes the highest projectile damage among all Class Skills of the mage.
Back then, the fire magicians relied on a simple combination of Polymorph, Flame Strike, Presence of Mind, Flame Strike, and finally added Flame Shock and ice pick to easily take away a player from the opposing camp without giving the opponent any chance to resist.
Although Sakura is more inclined to frost regardless of her talent or her own Magic Circuit and engraving.
The extra spell damage bonus brought by the equipment, as well as its own huge magic power, make spell casting inadvertently inject several times of energy, causing any skill to exceed the upper limit of Class Panel, thus producing stronger destructive power.
"Berserker!"
Illya At this time, he finally realized that the situation was not good, and his face was full of shock and panic.
Because after Heracles was resurrected again, he was pinned in place by Frost and Petrifying Gaze.
But this time, Sakura's hand began to shine with violet Arcane light.
"Rider! Don't let that little thing move." Sakura ordered without looking back.
"As you wish, Master."
Without saying a word, Medusa rushed out in an instant. With A+ agility, he dodged White Stork Knight, which was created by the legal loli using magic. He cut directly in from behind, waved his knife and lightly tapped the girl on the back of her neck.
Bang!
Illya instantly blacked out and fainted.
She lacks melee capabilities, and once her opponent pulls her as close as two to three meters, she becomes no different from an ordinary person.
At the same time, Sakura, who was not far away, also completed her spell casting preparations and continued to hit Heracles with Arcane Shock.
once...
twice...
Three times...
Four times...
Under this continuous Energy Impact, his body soon completely collapsed and he lost his fifth life.
And due to the loss of Master's suppression, the degree of madness began to become higher and higher, more and more crazy, and would only roar and attack the enemy without any intention of defending.
In the end, he was kited to death bit by bit by the pair of Sakura and Medusa.
From the beginning to the end, Heracles failed to encounter either of the two, and also failed to engage in a fierce hand-to-hand battle as expected.
Especially Sakura, for the first time in the whole process, she fully demonstrated how terrifying the power seed she inherited from Allen was.
Life Energy!
magic!
Haki!
Devil Fruit!
Red Dragon bloodline!
Coupled with the densely packed various top-quality weapons and props in the backpack, even a close-quarters fight will definitely win the final victory.
But doing that would cause too much damage to the entire park.
So in order not to see the news about the gas explosion tomorrow, the girl decided that it would be better to minimize the impact on ordinary people.
"Master, what should we do with this girl? Kill her?" Medusa asked, holding the legal loli by her collar.
"No, don't kill her. Because she is the descendant of Homunculus created by Einzbern family, and there is Lesser Grail in her body to imprison the soul of Servant. If she dies now, things will become very troublesome. So just leave her alone and leave her here." With that, Sakura lifted the Life Energy and Armament Haki covering her body.
"Got it! Lucky for you, little one."
Medusa smiled and squared Illya onto the bench, turned around and followed his Master into the vast night.
As soon as the pair left, Irisviel, who was waiting nearby, couldn't hold it in any longer and rushed out immediately to hold her daughter in her arms, kissing and caressing her constantly, as if she wanted to vent all the maternal love she had accumulated over the past ten years.
As the bodyguard, Hisau Maiya stood aside and stared at the watch silently.
After about ten minutes, she reminded in a low voice, "Madam, Illya should be waking up soon, we should go."
"Give me one more minute! Just one minute!" Alice quickly wiped away his tears, quickly took off the peace charm hanging around his neck, hung it carefully around his daughter's neck, and said in a very soft voice, "I'm sorry, Illya. It's not that my mother wants to lie to you, but I really have no choice but to do this. Forgive me! In a few days, I will spend the rest of my life making up for my debt to you."
"Madam, we really should go." Hisau Maiya urged again, staring at the legal loli's eyeballs that had started to roll.
"Huh——"
Alice took a deep breath, gently placed her daughter on the bench, and then quickly fled the scene.
The two of them had just disappeared for less than two or three minutes when Illya suddenly shouted "Mom", then suddenly stood up from the chair, looked around with a blank expression, and murmured to himself, "It turned out to be a dream..."
But soon, she found that she could no longer sense the presence of Heracles, and immediately squatted on the ground and started sobbing silently.
I don't know how long it took.
Maybe it's a few minutes, maybe it's dozens of minutes...
Illya finally gathered the energy to stand up from the ground and began to wander aimlessly along the streets and alleys. His eyes looked empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.
Maybe there was some force guiding her, so she wandered to the door of the old house bought by Emiya Kiritsugu.
Then, hungry, tired, and mentally battered, she fell to the ground with a plop.
The sound of his head hitting the door frame immediately attracted the attention of the two people living together here.
"This... isn't this Berserker's Master? How could she faint here?" Shirou, the first one to rush out, immediately picked up the girl and subconsciously touched his forehead, finding that it was a bit hot to the touch. "Damn! She has a fever! She must be sent to the hospital immediately."
"Mom... Mom..."
The unconscious Illya just kept repeating this word.
"Send her to the hospital? Are you crazy? She is our enemy! During the opening match, you should have seen how powerful that Servant is." Rin immediately gave a completely different view.
"But she's just a child! Are we going to die without saving her? What's more, don't you want to know what happened to her?" Shirou asked with a serious face.
As the Master with the strongest sense of justice among all the Holy Grail Wars in the past, he could not stand to watch a little girl who fell in front of him die.
"Hmm... It seems to make sense. But it's definitely not possible to send her to the hospital. That would expose our hiding place. How about this! You go buy the medicine and I'll stay and take care of her." Rin quickly made a compromise.
In fact, she is not a bad person, she is just a little arrogant at certain times.
Since there was a pharmacy on the corner, Illya took antipyretic medicine and was placed in a small room after fifteen minutes.
"I have patrolled the surroundings just now and found no trace of Servant's existence." Red A came in from the outside to report.
"What?" Rin immediately became extremely surprised when he heard the news. "You mean... Berserker has been killed?"
Red A nodded slightly. "Well! This is the only explanation now. Otherwise, I really can't imagine Master wandering the streets alone without the protection of Servant."
"How could this happen! Heroic Spirit, who was as strong as Berserker, was killed so quickly!" Rin held her forehead in a frenzy.
"Strong? Huh! It's just a mad dog! It's nothing in front of this king." Golden Flash also showed up to show off.
"Who did it? Sakura? Or the mysterious Saber Master, or the Lancer Master who hides in the dark and refuses to show up?" Shirou's tone was filled with fear and uneasiness.
Because in terms of strength, he is definitely the last one among all the participants in Holy Grail War.
"It's Sakura! She killed Servant but not Master! Only she can do such a thing!" Rin gave the answer firmly.
After all, if Master is not killed, the other party will have a chance to make a comeback.
Only those who have absolute confidence in their own strength will do it.
Under normal circumstances, Master is killed together to prevent resurgence.
Except, of course, those who managed to seek refuge in a church.
"Sakura again? No way!" Shirou opened her mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.
"About this, I think we'll know as long as the girl wakes up and asks." Red A reminded with a shrug.
"That's right! In that case, I'll go cook first. If she wakes up, let me know immediately."
After saying that, Shirou, a little expert in housekeeping, ran all the way into the kitchen.
Although this was only a temporary stronghold, he used some repaired second-hand electrical appliances to barely make it look like a home.
If divided according to the level of housework, this young man can definitely meet the standards of a good man.
Seeing himself busy in the second grade, Red A couldn't help but feel a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, and at the same time he didn't forget to stare at this "sister" who was having a fever with the corner of his eye.
In the timeline he was in, the relationship between the two was not as harmonious as it is now, and it even got to the point where they almost drew swords at each other.
But now in this timeline, everything seems to be moving in a better direction.
Suddenly, he began to take a keen interest in the person who changed everything...
