"..."
Illya didn't feel disappointed at all. He just raised his hand and scratched his cheek and said, "That's Heroic Spirit... a life form of one dimension higher than human beings. It's normal to be defeated."
"Have you ever... seriously fought?"
Suigintou shook his head and then waved his hand. "However, Illya you did the right thing by not fighting with all your strength and unconsciously suppressing your own power."
Her red eyes were cold and emotionless.
"If you continue to tap into the power of Life Tree, soon Illya you will be guided by Life Tree's tendencies and transform into an ecosystem independent of reality."
"Huh?"
Illya showed a blank expression, obviously not understanding all the information in Suigintou's words. After all, she was still at a vague stage of understanding the power she currently had.
I just know that... this power can make her very capable of fighting.
"... Let me explain it to you a little bit."
Suigintou shook his head helplessly and explained calmly, "Illya, as the descendant of the 'Touko master', you will definitely inherit part of the master's power, and Illya the power you inherit is the independent 'Life Tree' system."
"That is the power that can respond to Illya's desire. If you want power... you will become a strong man who has experienced hundreds of battles. If you want to fly... you will have wings to soar into the sky."
"This is an almost omnipotent and comprehensive power. After it develops to a certain limit... it is no different from a god."
"However, this seemingly omnipotent power... is actually the evolution of the 'Life Tree' system. If you continue to use it, Illya, your weak human consciousness... will continue to transform into a higher-dimensional consciousness."
"Although it is not certain what kind of consciousness it is, there is no doubt that the individual named 'Illya' will cease to exist, just like discarding residue, and will be reasonably abandoned by the evolved higher-dimensional consciousness."
"In short... although looking at it from the narrow perspective of human beings, higher-dimensional consciousness may be more superior."
"But, for you Illya... it's actually no different from death."
The sweet and cold voice echoed in the empty hall, with a heart-chilling ruthlessness, as if it was indicating the outcome of excessive use of the 'Life Tree' system.
That is the coldest warning, telling the coldest and cruelest truth.
"... Then, isn't Touko Mama very dangerous!?"
Illya widened his eyes and immediately worried about his mother. If he inherited the power of Touko Mama, that means... Touko Mama also has the same ability as her.
Doesn't that mean...Touko Mama might die?
"No, it's just you Illya who's dangerous..."
Suigintou waved his hand and said with some pride, "Although the ability of 'Life Tree' is very dangerous, as long as the self-awareness has overwhelming willpower, there is no need to worry about losing oneself."
With that said, she stared at Illya and said.
"Keep in mind that once Life Tree is close to the origin, then Illya you may never... be able to recover the outcome of losing yourself."
"How bad the situation will be then... no one can predict."
"..."
Hearing this, Illya looked very nervous. She would have been surprised by the ability she had mastered and could become a master instantly, but now it sounded... more than a surprise.
This... is already a shock.
"Hmph... But it would be a pity to limit the use of Illya's inherited power."
Suigintou looked at Illya who was nervous, then changed the subject and said, "Just to prevent Illya from embarrassing you Touko's master, I will allow you... to lend you my power."
"Oh... is that okay?"
An expression of surprise appeared on Illya's delicate face. She remembered that she had begged sister Suigintou for a long time, but sister Suigintou never agreed to lend her power.
But, who knows... now sister Suigintou suddenly agreed.
"In this situation... there is no other way."
Suigintou turned his face away and waved his hand. "Anyway, what is staying here now is your consciousness Illya, and your body is still on the real battlefield."
"However, the time flow rate relative to the outside world... is approximately stationary."
Saying this, she waved her hand again as if to drive away guests.
In an instant, Illya's figure disappeared into the castle.
Reality.
Fighting in the underground garage.
"Permission confirmed, the first Rose Maiden authorization was successful."
A mechanical female voice sounded.
Immediately, black feathers erupted overwhelmingly, rushing in all directions like a tsunami. The feathers were like Fallen Angel black feathers, with a sense of fallen holiness.
"Seven Rings of Heavenly Radiance!"
Archer's eyes flashed with pain, and he raised his hand to Projection use his shield to block the incoming feathers.
He knew that... these Magic Second Generation were troublesome, and it was easy to cheat them at inappropriate times, and now it seemed... that they were not ordinary cheats, and their combat effectiveness had doubled.
However, he didn't pay much attention.
After all, I have Magic User's mother, which is something I can't envy. Now I can only face the cheater Illya with all my strength, and then defeat Illya as much as possible.
"Fallen Angel, Illya come in!"
The black feathers slowly faded and disappeared.
Illya walked out step by step. She had now changed her look, wearing this black-style Lolita dress, with a pair of black wings stretched out from her back.
At this moment, she was no longer holding Magic Wand, but a gorgeous silver sword.
"... Ah, it seems that my work is more tiring."
Archer sighed helplessly. He originally thought that his job was the easiest, and at most he felt a little guilty, but now it seems... maybe his job is the hardest.
"Let me declare in advance that I can no longer show mercy. You must be prepared for this!"
He looked coldly at the little loli dressed in dark Fallen Angel, who was walking slowly towards her. His cold murderous intent made the air drop to freezing point.
The war is about to break out.
——Crack.
Suddenly there was a sound of a camera taking pictures.
In an instant, the air froze.
Illya and Archer slowly turned their heads and looked towards the sound source. What caught their eyes was a gentle Silver-haired Lady. She was holding a camera and hiding behind the load-bearing column.
"Hey, I was discovered."
The silver-haired gentle lady walked out from behind the load-bearing pillar, raised her hand and knocked on her head. She closed one eye playfully, and a cute smile appeared on her beautiful face.
And with this action, the chilling and cold atmosphere dissipated.
"Mom, why are you here!"
Illya Ruby's eyes widened as he looked at the gentle silver-haired lady walking out and exclaimed in extreme surprise. Isn't that gentle and beautiful lady her mother?
But why... here.
"That's right."
Irisviel hid the camera behind his back, reached out and tapped his lower lip and said, "Actually, I happened to be passing by, and then I was accidentally discovered."
"How on earth did I happen to pass by this place?"
Archer complained.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for the sound of cameras taking pictures just now, he wouldn't have noticed... that there was actually an onlooker hidden here. However, if it was Mrs. Irisviel... it wouldn't be too unexpected.
"Hehe... I saw the rare Illya, so I couldn't help but take a photo."
Irisviel gently stroked her beautiful face with her slender hands, and showed a gentle smile, "You can ignore me, there is no problem in continuing to fight."
Chapter 415 Retreat
"..."
A hint of headache flashed across Archer's face, and then a cold smile appeared, "Really, this beautiful lady, don't you know... now, is it the best choice to threaten you Illya?"
He spoke calmly and pointedly, with a look that was both rational and ruthless.
Upon hearing this, Illya suddenly looked nervous. The dark wings behind her trembled, and she flew to Irisviel in an instant. She faced Archer with her silver-white sword raised to prevent Heroic Spirit from hurting her mother.
"I won't let you do this!"
There was a change in her eyes this time, with a sense of firmness from the bottom of her heart.
If Archer really wants to attack and hurt her mother, then she will fight back with all her strength to protect her family, even if she faces... the heroes on Human history, she will not be afraid.
"... Excellent awareness."
Archer laughed loudly, looked at the vigilant Illya, and said, "Human beings sometimes tend to ignore their family members, as if they will always be by their side. However, if you don't protect them... you will regret it the day you leave. Even if you cry and beg... there is no way to undo the regrets."
He spoke with some sadness and admiration, and walked slowly towards Illya.
Seeing this, the black wings behind Illya slowly opened and expanded, and pieces of black feathers appeared in the void, like sharp flying knives, carrying a dark and cold killing intent.
"Tell me one more thing."
Archer raised his hands and held Gan Jiang Mo Ye tightly, and said coldly, "The so-called protection... not only requires a heart that cares for the family, but without the corresponding strength... it can only be lamented incompetently."
"Do you think... you can protect your mother?"
He asked so coldly, his words turning into sharp swords and attacking.
Although it is a bit despicable, choosing to capture this beautiful wife and then use it to threaten Illya... is definitely the most cost-effective option. After all, Illya's current strength... is a bit troublesome to deal with.
However, seizing the beautiful lady and threatening her... is a very effective method.
"Okay!"
Illya responded simply, and then took a firm step forward, as if expressing his will with actions, not timid to confront Archer.
The will to fight... really burned.
"Oh yeah~"
Irisviel stroked his cheek with his slender hand, Ruby stared at Archer and smiled, "Although it is a bit rude, I am not a person without the ability to resist."
As she said this, she clasped her palms together.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely complex Magecraft formation appeared on the ground. A Blonde-haired Blue-eyed Little Loli suddenly appeared in the center of the Magecraft formation. She looked at everyone present with a cute expression, and she was holding a strawberry-flavored cone in her little hand.
Obviously, she hasn't figured out why she suddenly appeared here.
"Beo... I'm sorry to bother you."
Irisviel hid behind the little blond lolita, staring at Archer not far away and whispering. After hearing this, Beo blinked, looked at Archer, and smiled with ferocious joy:
"I see, he is really a rare enemy!"
She naturally saw what kind of existence that white-haired man was. It was an existence named Heroic Spirit, possessing a power that was difficult for humans to match.
And it is this kind of enemy that can prove one's strength.
She has practiced Baji Quan for many years, and her skills are unparalleled. However, there is no opponent in the world who can fight with all her strength. Now someone finally dares to provoke them.
To be honest, this... is really not easy.
"... Ha, it's just a beast."
Archer shook his head and still walked forward steadily. He had already understood the true form of Beo... It was Phantasmal Beast that existed only in the Age of Gods, an undoubted powerful life form.
"...Beo sister, you have to be careful and safe."
Illya leaned next to Beo and reminded her in a low voice that she had given up understanding the composition of her family members in a normal way. After all, her sisters who were connected by blood were not human beings.
The sister Beo I have known since childhood... is not an accident.
"If you're worried, summon Berserker back to suppress the formation."
Beo turned to look at the vigilant Illya, and said with some pride, "Although there is no need for berserker to take action at all, soon... I will end the battle!"
"..."
