A Change / The Battle Is Over
Judas slowly opened his body, and Mikaela, dressed in a maid's outfit and with black and white hair, slowly stood up from the inside. He slowly opened his eyes.
The others looked on with anticipation. They knew very well that Mikaela was not at his peak due to the Fourth Holy Grail War, and now that he had fused with Valkyrie's Spirit Origin, his injuries should have fully recovered.
"... I can't see clearly."
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Mikaela said with some regret, looking at the people in front of him. He took back the Oath of Judas, patted his belly, and looked at a reddish object calmly, saying, "You are Archer, right?"
"Hmm." Red A nodded slightly, looking into Mikaela's eyes, which already showed some sparkle.
"I'm hungry, I need to eat, um... never mind." Mikaela closed his eyes and continued to use his magical perception to observe the world.
Red A didn't waste any words. He went into the kitchen to start cooking. Actually, it was almost time for dinner, but everyone was worried about Mikaela, so he, the cook, didn't cook.
"Did it fail?"
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Mikaela, but he really couldn't see any change in Mikaela at that moment.
"No, it worked. I can feel that Saber's aura is stronger than before." Cú Chulainn shook his head. He could clearly feel that Mikaela's aura was several times stronger than before.
"Shall we have a friendly spar?"
Mikaela looked at Bazett and said in a calm tone, "There's still some time before dinner, so I'll experiment with this body."
"Oh?" Bazett calmly put on his gloves and smiled. "I couldn't be happier. I'd love to see just how capable Saber, who's known as the strongest class, really is."
"Cú Chulainn, please set up the barrier." Mikaela said calmly, and he and Bazett slowly walked out the door.
"No problem."
Cú Chulainn, holding his staff, said casually, "Just give me the gun afterwards. I really don't like being a druid."
"If this experiment succeeds, then I can give you the gun."
Mikaela did not object. He had only been awake for a few minutes and vaguely felt changes in his body, but he himself was not quite sure what those changes were.
"Why do I feel like you've become more beautiful?" Ryougi Shiki, standing at the door, looked at Mikaela. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Mikaela, who was already very beautiful, had become even more beautiful after taking a nap.
"Hmm... I feel that way too." Asagami Fujino nodded slightly.
Kiyohime and Irisviel, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement. Girls naturally pay attention to details. Although Mikaela himself did not realize it, to outsiders, he did undergo subtle changes.
Standing at the entrance, Cú Chulainn, as a Caster, naturally set up a barrier. Considering that Mikaela was the previous Saber and that Bazett was capable of fighting to the death with the Servant if she went all out, he was confident that he could fight the Servant to the death.
Therefore, Cú Chulainn set up a very large barrier this time! He even borrowed the 'gate' from his teacher.
"Oh! The battle has begun?!" Red Hare, sitting on the ground chewing on a carrot, looked at Mikaela and Bazett with great excitement and said, "Although I'm not the one fighting, it's still a pleasure to watch warriors battle!"
"..."
Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Hassan of the Arm stood to the side, both of them also very curious about Mikaela's strength.
This person who was on good terms with the first generation had revealed a little bit of his strength before, but neither of them had ever seen how he actually fought.
After the barrier is deployed.
Mikaela and Bazett consciously kept their distance from each other, neither speaking nor exchanging pleasantries.
"Then, let's begin." Mikaela's eyes remained closed, appearing quite calm.
Bazett didn't speak, but proved it with her actions! She took a step forward and ran towards Mikaela, her magic surging, and the runes on her clothes were activated.
She wasn't careless because of Mikaela's delicate figure; quite the opposite! Although she didn't feel that Mikaela posed much of a threat to her, since she was the previous Saber, she must have some extraordinary abilities.
"Ha!" Upon reaching Mikaela, Bazett threw a punch without any mercy.
However, Bazett showed mercy by hitting Mikaela in the abdomen, as one shouldn't hit someone in the face.
"Bang—!!"
Surprisingly, Mikaela offered no resistance and was sent flying, landing at the edge of the barrier.
"...Just as I expected." Bazett wasn't surprised at all, because she had already noticed that Mikaela showed no signs of dodging and looked like a human punching bag.
However, Bazett knew that the other party was testing his physical condition.
"My physical strength is about three times stronger than before I went to sleep." Mikaela slowly got up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. After being knocked away by Bazett, her head hit the barrier, and she accidentally bit her lip.
"Bang--!"
Mikaela dodged Bazett's Bazett by sidestepping and then kicked him hard in the shin.
"Snap!" Bazett was a true master of combat. She took several steps back and grabbed Mikaela's foot with one hand.
'So small...'
After grabbing Mikaela's foot with one hand, Bazett questioned his own gender for the first time. The person in front of him was a 'boy,' but the other person seemed to be much more perfect than him in terms of temperament and body proportions.
Despite her sighs, Bazett didn't forget that this was during a battle. She gripped Mikaela's foot tightly and, like throwing a shot put, flung him into the air.
'The speed has increased somewhat, but it's still not fast enough.'
Mikaela, still 'flying' in the sky, sighed slightly. He had a general understanding of the physical test; the real show was about to begin.
"Whoosh—!"
At this moment, Mikaela did not take out the card, but instead stretched out his hand as if holding something. In his hand appeared a golden spear.
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked. When Mikaela was being beaten, they knew it was because the other party was testing his physical condition. Now, he suddenly pulled out a golden spear! This was quite illogical.
If he crushed the card to conjure a weapon, that would be understandable, but he pulled out a weapon out of thin air!
"That's... Lancer's Noble Phantasm," Red Hare, somewhat surprised.
"Hmm, but... if you obtain Spirit Origin, will you inherit her Noble Phantasm?" Cú Chulainn was clearly very surprised as well. In a sense, this was the first time he had ever seen someone fuse with Spirit Origin.
The next moment, Mikaela's clothes changed. Her original black and white stockings became true black stockings, and she wore clothing similar to women's armor. She also wore a hood and had something resembling wings growing from her back.
"White Bird Noble Phantasm."
Mikaela stood in the sky, looking at Bazett, and said calmly, "In a sense, I don't know what changes have occurred in myself."

Chapter 206 The Battle Ends
At this moment, Mikaela took off her maid outfit and put on the Swan Robe of the Valkyrie Valkyrie.
Or perhaps it's called the White Bird Noble Phantasm, but the name is just a code name.
The key point is that this garment is said to have been bestowed upon it by the god Odin, although, like the Divine Declaration, it is a degraded, mass-produced copy of Noble Phantasm.
However, now that Mikaela has put on this dress, her already aloof temperament has been amplified, and she has gained a unique sense of holiness, making people feel as if they are seeing a legendary angel at first glance.
"Why are you wearing Valkyrie's clothes?" Cú Chulainn asked with interest. He chuckled, "Wearing someone else's clothes is one thing, but using someone else's Noble Phantasm."
Cú Chulainn had a very deep impression of Valkyrie, after all, the latter had actually taken Bazett's Gae Bolg!
"..." Mikaela glanced at Cú Chulainn, but he didn't say anything and just rushed towards Bazett.
Wow, so fast!
The moment Mikaela, Ryougi Shiki's pupils contracted slightly; she hadn't even seen the speed of the other's movement!
"What?!" Bazett seemed a little surprised as well. She couldn't see the speed of the other party's movement clearly either, so she could only adopt a fighting stance and try to resist Mikaela's attack by instinct.
"Bang—!!"
Bazett seemed to have seen something, and she raised her hand to defend herself, but the next second! She was sent flying!
"So fast!" Bazett exclaimed in surprise. She truly hadn't expected that Mikaela's strength would increase so terrifyingly simply by changing her clothes and taking on a new weapon!
"Oh? No wonder she was the previous Saber."
Cú Chulainn frowned deeply, already sensing something was amiss; the opponent was currently operating at full power.
Completely different from when she was passively being attacked, when Mikaela transformed into this state, she not only put on someone else's clothes, but also used someone else's inherent skill - the Primal Rune.
If Cú Chulainn is not mistaken, Mikaela likely used a rune that increases her speed.
"Bang bang bang—!!"
Like playing ping-pong, Mikaela launched attacks on Bazett from different angles at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Bazett was passively hit in the air, and with her super-fast fluid technique, she had no idea how to resist.
"Whoosh—!!"
At this moment, the Gae Bolg appeared! Bazett planned to counterattack. Although the Gae Bolg had powerful auxiliary abilities, it wouldn't be enough if the enemy didn't reveal their trump cards.
The power that the Gae Bolg is currently displaying is simply between D and C rank Noble Phantasm.
"Clang—!"
Perhaps Bazett was lucky, or perhaps Mikaela did it on purpose.
At this moment, Mikaela held the pseudo- Divine Declaration in her hand and struck the main body of the Gae Bolg. At this moment, the Gae Bolg could not be called a 'sword', but a sphere, which was rotating around Bazett.
"That's about it." After tapping the Gae Bolg once, Mikaela put away his Noble Phantasm, embraced Bazett, and slowly floated down with her.
"If it were a life-or-death battle, I'm afraid I would have already lost."
Bazett smiled bitterly. She could clearly feel that Mikaela had deliberately struck the Gae Bolg. If Mikaela had stabbed her in the heart, she would have surely died.
The battle, which lasted less than half a minute, made Bazett truly realize the terrifying nature of the Saber class.
It really is true that it is the strongest class in the Holy Grail War.
"Just a trick." Mikaela placed Bazett on the ground, then put away the fake Divine Declaration and the White Bird Noble Phantasm. At the same time, the Valkyrie outfit on her body turned into light and disappeared, replaced by the familiar maid outfit.
Mikaela was quite aware of Bazett's weaknesses and strengths. The Gae Bolg was indeed powerful, but it was not without its weaknesses. As long as she didn't use her 'ultimate move,' the Gae Bolg couldn't unleash its true power.
But Bazett was different. Although she had fought Valkyrie, at that time, Valkyrie was focused on Cú Chulainn and did not have much of a battle with Bazett.
He poked a few holes in her body, making sure she was almost incapacitated, and then turned to fight Cú Chulainn.
While Mikaela wouldn't dare say she's fully inherited Valkyrie's power, she can guarantee that she's inherited 90% of it.
"There are no tricks in combat. Perhaps I should study how to deal with people who have super speed."
As he spoke, Bazett stood there lost in thought.
"That's quite surprising." Cú Chulainn canceled the barrier and looked at Mikaela with a grin. "You're not using Servant Spirit Origin for healing, are you? You're planning to plunder the power of other Servant, aren't you?"
"No, it's just treatment. If I wanted to plunder the power of other Servant, why would I go through all that trouble?" Mikaela shook his head slightly. He really didn't want to plunder the power of so-called Servant.
If he really wanted to plunder, it would be easier to just conjure up a card.
"However, you were able to master her power so quickly; I'm sure you've seen it, haven't you?" Cú Chulainn's expression turned somewhat serious; he had witnessed Mikaela's actions just now.
The fact that the opponent could use the Rune Magecraft that Valkyrie possessed so quickly clearly meant that they had seen something.
After all, Valkyrie's Rune Magecraft is the prototype created by the Great God, containing astonishing power. Even if Mikaela used similar Rune Magecraft, it could not compare to this.
Furthermore, Rune Magecraft isn't something that can be used solely based on instinct; if it were Noble Phantasm, it might just work by accident.
But Cú Chulainn knew very well that Rune Magecraft was definitely not something that could be used by accident!
Mikaela was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "It was a short but rather long dream. I won't go into the details, but I'm sure you know what it is in your heart."
"Hmm~"
Cú Chulainn grinned, reached out, and like a good buddy, put his arm around Mikaela's shoulder, smiling as he said, "So... now that you have Spirit Origin and your power has greatly increased, um..."
His smile, which had been somewhat sunny, suddenly turned a little smug.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cú Chulainn."
Suddenly, a hand grabbed Cú Chulainn's hand, which was on Mikaela's shoulder, and forcibly pulled him away.
Cú Chulainn turned his head and saw that Hassan of the Arm and Hassan of the Hundred Faces were staring at him. He laughed and slowly withdrew his hands.
"Hmm." Hassan of the Arm and Hassan of the Hundred Faces nodded in satisfaction.
Although they knew Mikaela was male, Hassan of the Arm and Hassan of the Hundred Faces did not want a womanizing man like Cú Chulainn to get close to Mikaela because she looked too much like a woman.
Regarding Cú Chulainn's desire to Gae Bulg, Mikaela offered four words.
"I'll definitely do it next time."
