"How do we turn White back?!" Artoria asked.
"Big Brother suggests retreating," that voice said again.
"—Impossible!" Artoria did not want to retreat.
"That little girl's explanation just now was quite correct. Her innate skill is something like 'Anti-Hope' or 'Anti-Justice.' Simply put, 'hope' borrowed from elsewhere is ineffective against her. So no matter how powerful the summoned Heroic Spirits are, they cannot harm her," the voice spoke again.
"But that attack over there—it was blocked, wasn't it?" Illya looked toward EMIYA Alter.
At that moment, he was evading the Greatswords falling from the sky.
That black Servant had been trying to attack White all along, so White was attacking him as well.

But if they do not possess both conditions at once, they can probably only deal half damage—and unless every condition is met, they cannot kill her either. Oh, Demi-Servants won't work either. As long as the 'borrowed' power does not originate from this era itself, it won't work."
It was a very organized explanation.

[This is still just a cocoon. It doesn't even count as a larva yet, so it should still be able to develop.]
Come to think of it.
If White wanted to, she really could expand the range of her innate skill. To hurt her, one would even need
