On the other end of the Hill of Swords, Bazett stepped forward and threw a punch at Kirei Kotomine. Her fist shattered the wind as her left foot advanced and her right fist shot straight out.
Ten years ago, an attack like this would not have been a problem for Kirei Kotomine.
But ten years later, Kirei Kotomine's physical abilities were actually inferior to Bazett's.
Yet Kirei Kotomine did not retreat.
He raised his hand, meeting Bazett's fist with the outer edge of his left palm.
"Hmm?!"
The instant they made contact, Bazett immediately felt Kirei Kotomine redirecting her strength and guiding the force of her punch away from his body.
"—I have now received a blessing. Ahhh, what a sublime moment."
Kirei Kotomine's strength had increased. Magical energy surged through his body.
"Now... no..."
Sigma observed the battle.
There was still a chance, but only one.
Once this man saw the weapon he had hidden away, everything would have been for nothing.
"It isn't over yet—"
Bazett did not hesitate either. She turned with the momentum, and the instant her right fist drew back, her left fist struck upward from below.
Kirei Kotomine raised his right knee and blocked Bazett's left fist with the outside of it.
Fist and knee collided with a violent muffled boom. The impact sent rings of sand spreading outward beneath their feet.
"Is this... a mage?"
Wasn't this mage's strength a little off?
That Kirei Kotomine over there was one thing—he was obviously completely abnormal.
But this Miss Bazett seemed to be just a tiny bit overpowered too?
``` [Bazett's strength is indeed somewhat over the limit]
[She still can't fight Servants, but among ordinary mages, she's really fierce]
[Seriously, when Big Sis Bazett first appeared in Magical Girl Illya, her pressure was terrifying]
