Gold Cube / Evacuation

"No! No need! Let me do it!"

Ortlinde seemed unwilling to let Brynhildr help her. She immediately released her older sister and flew into the sky without saying a word, forcibly suppressing her command to the Command Seal with the Primal Rune.

"She's not trying to run away," Brynhildr said softly, as if explaining something to Mikaela. She looked up at the sky, at her countless 'sisters,' and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Isotope, beginning to manifest. Synchronization initiated, aiming complete... 'Final Fantasy: The Girl's Descent' (Ragnarık Líftrasir)!"

Valkyrie Ortlinde unleashed her Noble Phantasm using her Master's magical power, and the place she aimed at was none other than... the Milenia Fortress!

Although this place wasn't particularly far from the Milenia Fortress, it was still outside the range of the Noble Phantasm, so Ortlinde burned this body, releasing an excess of magical power.

"Big Sister?!"

"Big Sister!!!"

"Eh?! It's Big Sister!!"

After the other beings appeared, they immediately gripped their spears tightly, but soon their gazes fell downwards, where Brynhildr was greeting them.

The Valkyrie counterparts, who were originally devoid of emotions, suddenly felt joy.

Some Valkyrie even wanted to stop releasing their Noble Phantasm and go down to hug their older sister.

"Release!" Ortlinde was somewhat unhappy. Without saying a word, she released her Noble Phantasm, and countless light spears rushed towards the Milenia Fortress, intending to kill the Magecraft who tried to command her.

Damn it!

Fran III, enraged, entered a spirit form without a word and appeared atop the Milenia Fortress, spear in hand, wielding his Noble Phantasm — Kazikli Bey!

PS: "Fourth update."

Chapter 199 The Golden Cube (Fifth Update)

"Damn it, you actually did it, Valkyrie!" Vlad III said, his face contorted with rage.

Upon learning that Valkyrie had launched Noble Phantasm attack on the Milenia Fortress, he also decisively used his Noble Phantasm — Kazikli Bey.

Although he activated the inherent skill of the Guardian Demon General, Valkyrie unleashed her full power with her Noble Phantasm to attack him, so even he couldn't possibly protect the Milenia Fortress intact.

The area around the Milenia Fortress has been largely destroyed by Valkyrie's Noble Phantasm attack, and many of the artificial human guards and golems that were originally created have also been destroyed.

"I never expected that the legendary Valkyrie Brynhildr would actually appear in the world."

Darnic remained calm. To him, the betrayal of Valkyrie was no big deal, since the other party had no desires and was therefore difficult to control.

Even if I lose her, it's okay, because I still have my trump card, and even Saber hasn't been summoned yet.

"Her appearance was probably an accident, just like that spearman."

Although he was initially furious, Vlad III has now calmed down. Brynhildr's appearance reminded him of the spearmen who appeared during the siege of Cú Chulainn.

There must have been some event that led to their brief appearance.

It was because Darnic's familiar saw that Brynhildr and Valkyrie looked like they wanted to 'betray' her that he had his family members decisively use the three Command Seal! This allowed Valkyrie to use her Noble Phantasm to kill Brynhildr.

However, she didn't expect the other party to be so forceful, directly using the Primal Rune to suppress the Command Seal. After suppressing it, she decisively threw out her Noble Phantasm, but the target of the Noble Phantasm was not Brynhildr, but their side.

"Yes, but there have been just too many unexpected events." Darnic nodded, placing his hand on the Command Seal as well, a strange emotional fluctuation flashing in his eyes.

This accident is still tolerable; the key is to avoid any major accidents later on, otherwise... he will have to deploy his own trump card.

"Risks and accidents are always unavoidable." Vlad III sighed, then turned to look at Darnic calmly and said, "However, we must eliminate these guys as soon as possible."

"Archer and Rider alone are no longer enough to kill them. If we don't bring them back, they may also be at risk of being eliminated."

Darnic knew very well that his side had lost Valkyrie, and if Chiron and Medusa could not return in time, they would likely be surrounded and killed!

"We must summon Saber as soon as possible." Darnic's expression turned solemn. He desperately wanted to summon Saber at this moment. They had already lost an important combatant, so now they had to summon another important combatant.

"One more day, and the Holy Grail's magic will be enough to summon Saber."

Vlad III knew that the situation was getting urgent. Although he was not afraid to fight other Servant, he could not leave this territory, otherwise his own combat power would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, we need a powerful hero to lead the others to kill the enemy's Servant and Master!

"The Holy Relic is ready. If nothing unexpected happens, it is very likely to summon the legendary dragon slayer, Siegfried."

At this moment, Valkyrie, who had burned herself, slowly floated down. Looking at Brynhildr's pained gaze, her body, which had been in considerable pain, suddenly felt no more pain.

"My dear sister, please don't look at me like that." Valkyrie Ortlinde didn't want her sister to make that face.

Although she admitted that seeing that expression made her feel secretly happy, as if her older sister cared about her a lot.

However, she still didn't want her older sister to show such a 'human' expression for her sake; she would be content with just a pat on the head.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Brynhildr gently hugged her sister. She could tell that her sister really enjoyed being with her, but... things weren't the same as when she was alive.

They were already dead. Although the past was beautiful, she had no intention of bringing it back.

"It's not hard." Ortlinde shook her head slightly. She looked at her body gradually dissipating and knew that she was about to leave this world. She looked up at Brynhildr and said, "Sister, please take out my Spirit Origin."

Although she had just burned her body, Ortlinde did not burn her Spirit Origin. After all, since the other party had allowed her older sister to meet her, she wanted to reward her with something.

Should I do it?

Brynhildr's tears slowly fell; she clearly didn't want to do it herself, after all, the other person was her sister.

"Yes, I hope my elder sister will do it." Although Ortlinde could extract her Spirit Origin herself, she didn't want to do it and hoped that her dear elder sister would extract her Spirit Origin.

"To make me do such a cruel thing." Brynhildr wasn't one to be sentimental. She stopped crying, slowly reached out, and stroked Ortlinde's little face.

"No, it's not painful. If I have any wish to place on the Holy Grail, then seeing Sister Brynhildr is my greatest wish."

Ortlinde closed her eyes and waited quietly for her older sister to extract her Spirit Origin.

The moment her Spirit Origin is extracted is the moment she leaves the stage.

"Sorry."

Brynhildr apologized, placing her hand on Ortlinde and drawing something on her body.

"Ah..." A blush appeared on Ortlinde's fair face. She did not resist, but instead felt very comfortable.

"Bye now."

After Brynhildr finished painting, Ortlinde burst forth with dazzling magic. She herself seemed to feel no pain, but instead showed a happy smile.

Finally, it slowly transformed into a Golden Cube, which appeared in Brynhildr's hand.

"...Is this the Spirit Origin?" Mikaela's expression was a little strange. She squeezed the golden cube in her hand and felt a sense of déjà vu. It was different from what she had imagined.

"The child's Spirit Origin is inside the cube; the outside is merely a container for Spirit Origin."

Brynhildr's voice resonated deep within Mikaela's heart, her tone gentle. "Please treat this child's Spirit Origin kindly."

"Understood."

Mikaela nodded slightly, canceling Brynhildr's transformation. The next second, a card bearing the image of Valkyrie Ortlinde appeared in her hand.

"Snap!"

After the card shattered, Mikaela transformed into Valkyrie Ortlinde, waited a moment, and then canceled the transformation.

'That way... you should be able to reunite.' Mikaela kept her eyes closed, put away the gold cube, and instead of using the Spirit Origin immediately, ran towards the center of the battlefield.

Chapter 200 Evacuation (Sixth Update)

In a sense, Chiron felt a lot of pressure. She dodged Bazett's punch, then seized an opening and planned to smash his nose with one punch.

However, Cú Chulainn immediately used Rune Magecraft to forcibly stop the opponent, and Bazett took the opportunity to break Chiron's arm.

"With only one hand, your actual combat ability will probably decrease a lot." Bazett was slightly out of breath. To be honest, this was the first time she had encountered someone with such strong close combat ability.

Is she truly worthy of being a hero of the past?! Her opponent's fighting ability is superior to hers, but because of Cú Chulainn, whenever her opponent finds an opening, Cú Chulainn forcibly interrupts her.

"Yes, that's right, you're very strong." Even with one of his hands broken, Chiron remained calm and said in a composed tone, "If you were in my time, you would probably be a very qualified hero as well."

"You flatter me!"

Bazett kicked hard, Chiron, who had given up on attacking, took a few steps back and glanced at Medusa on the ground.

The opponent was also in a tough fight. She wanted to use her Mystic Eyes, but the Archer on the other side seemed to know Medusa very well. Whenever the opponent wanted to use her Mystic Eyes or Noble Phantasm, he would suddenly suppress her, forcing Medusa to fight with only physical skills.

The assassin on the other side was even more despicable. Just like Cú Chulainn, he used sneak attacks and harassment tactics against Medusa, showing no intention of fighting fairly.

'Should I use my Noble Phantasm, Master?' At this moment Chiron felt that if he didn't use his Noble Phantasm, he would obviously be unable to leave this place.

'No need, Assassin and Berserker have already gone.'

In the Milenia Fortress, a young girl in a wheelchair spoke to Chiron in her mind, "Just hold on a little longer, and when the two of them join the battle, you will be saved."

'Be careful of Assassin. I feel he's being too deliberate. This operation is suspicious in every way.' Chiron warned his Master to be very careful of Hassan of the Hundred Faces.

When Hassan of the Hundred Faces was killed in front of him, he felt something was very wrong. So many people had come to this forest to fight.

It's highly unusual that the Hassan of the Hundred Faces didn't notice a single thing happening. What's more, where did the other Hassan of the Hundred Faces go after they fought?

Logically speaking, there are twenty 'individuals' of the Hassan of the Hundred Faces here. Even if one of them dies, where did the other nineteen go?

'Huh? Bai Mao? What's wrong with him?' The girl in the wheelchair was puzzled. She didn't understand why Chiron wanted her to be careful of Hassan of the Hundred Faces.

Chiron still wanted to say something to his Master, but Bazett's attack was too fierce, and he was barely able to protect himself. He couldn't spare any more energy to talk to his Master.

"Bang—!!" After blocking Bazett's attack with one hand, a fierce glint flashed in Chiron's eyes.

After discovering that Valkyrie's Noble Phantasm was being directed at the Milenia Fortress, Chiron knew that he had to reveal some of his trump cards.

We absolutely cannot let that person who instigated the Valkyrie arrive, otherwise the battle will turn from a stalemate into a one-sided victory!

"Huh?!" Bazett sensed a hint of danger. Without being careless, she immediately drew her Gae Bolg and shouted, "Cú Chulainn!"

"Oh?! You're not playing anymore?"

Cú Chulainn smiled slightly, planted his staff in the ground, and chuckled, "Then I'll take care of him first."

"..."

A powerful surge of magic erupted from Cú Chulainn, who was clearly preparing to unleash his Noble Phantasm. However, Chiron gave a knowing smile and said, "It's up to you, Medusa."

"Boom--!!!"

In the sky, the 'arrow' representing Sagittarius fell, its golden light as brilliant as a shooting star. Chiron's target was neither Cú Chulainn nor Bazett, but Red A, who was suppressing Medusa.

"Pfft!"

Red A, barely having time to react, could only instinctively dodge to the side, but he still couldn't avoid the attack.

He had a large hole in his chest, but fortunately his Spirit Core was not destroyed, and he was only seriously injured.

"Archer!" Hassan of the Arm, couldn't care less about firing sneak attacks at this moment. He decisively emerged from the shadows and protected Red A.

However, Medusa did not press her advantage and decisively removed her blindfold, looking at Cú Chulainn without launching an attack on Bazett.

"This is bad!" Cú Chulainn decisively canceled his Noble Phantasm, added runes to himself, and raised his magic power to A-rank.

"Petrify!"

Medusa's Mystic Eyes activated, but Cú Chulainn was not petrified. However, his expression did not seem particularly pleasant, as if he were being restricted.

"Whoosh—!!"

The Gae Bolg, hurtled towards Medusa. Bazett's expression was rather unpleasant; it wasn't Noble Phantasm she was unleashing, but rather a simple throw.

"Clang!!"

Medusa conjured a short sword in her hand, blocking the Gae Bolg, a Gae Bolg Noble Phantasm that can only be activated when the opponent uses their trump card.

Moreover, Medusa did not use her Mystic Eyes on Bazett, but only on Cú Chulainn.

As long as Bazett, as the owner, is not harmed, the Gae Bolg will never trigger the 'Preemptive Strike' effect.

If the opponent's Noble Phantasm has a so-called effect of judging teammates, then Medusa is not afraid at all!

Unfortunately, the Gae Bolg has no teammate protection effect. Although Cú Chulainn was not petrified at this moment, his attributes in all aspects were forcibly reduced by the Petrifying Eye.

"You're really capable, Archer." Although Cú Chulainn's attributes were reduced, he could still continue fighting. He swung his staff and attacked Medusa.

"Likewise, likewise, you are more cunning than I imagined."
