Illya scratched his cheek and whispered, "Actually, I feel a little used to it, and it doesn't feel very dangerous when Chain Blade attacks."
"No, it's Illya... you have become stronger."
On the side, Tohsaka Rin put one hand on his waist and said, "Although it is a bit strange, in terms of strength, Illya is already an extremely excellent Magus. After adding Magecraft knowledge... he will be an excellent Magecraft master."
She could see clearly just now that the Chain Blade that was coming was very dangerous. However, facing such a dangerous blow, Illya was very ordinary and used very simple but efficient means to avoid the attack.
This is not something that can be done just by talking about it.
You must have enough anticipation of the enemy's moves, your natural strength must be strong to a certain extent, and, most importantly, you must have a calm heart.
And with these qualities, Illya can easily and simply... dodge the blow just now.
It seems that... Holy Grail War's experience has brought out the potential of Illya, and there has been significant progress in every aspect.
Now it seems that he has a bit of the strong and confident demeanor of Lady Touko back then.
"... That's right~"
Illya lowered his eyes and said quietly, "Being chased so many times, it's hard not to calm down. After all, I've been chased for so many streets."
With that said, she picked up Ruby and rushed towards Medusa not far away.
To be honest, her experience in Holy Grail War was either being hunted or being hunted. These experiences have made her little heart strong enough.
Now even if I play against Heroic Spirit head-on, I don't feel any pressure.
Chapter 465 Two Magic Staff?
Mirrored world.
Illya ran out of the afterimage with short legs, running wildly on the playground, dodging Chain Blade that was coming from Medusa, and occasionally waving Ruby to block the incoming attack.
However, during this period... he did not take the initiative to launch a counterattack.
"Illya, fight back... fight back quickly!"
Ruby reminds loudly and continuously.
No matter who is judging now, they can see that...Illya is not at a disadvantage, but Illya shows no sign of counterattack, as if he has no fighting spirit.
However, would Illya, who possesses such... combat qualities, not have the desire to fight?
"No, wait a minute!"
Illya shook his head vigorously and said loudly, "We are still not sure whether defeating this Medusa sister will have an impact on the other Medusa sister."
As she spoke, she jumped into the air, and then aimed Ruby at Medusa, intending to use her controlling Magecraft to temporarily control Medusa.
However, something unexpected happened.
A girl with long blue hair appeared in mid-air wearing a white dress and kicked Ruby Magic Wand tightly in Illya's hand away, hitting the ground like a cannonball.
Immediately afterwards, the blue-haired girl stepped hard on Ruby again.
"You... please stop it!!!"
She made a sweet and angry voice, and crushed Ruby with her thighs wrapped in white stockings. Her eyes were like sapphire, containing a cold and piercing killing intent.
"A mere piece of trash actually dares to take my position. Have you thought about how to die?"
The air was frozen.
Everyone... was stunned by this sudden surprise, and couldn't help but tacitly choose a truce. Then, they all cast wary eyes on the blue-haired girl.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to be trampled to pieces!" Ruby shook the stick and made a mean voice, "If you continue to step on me hard, then in order to save myself... I can only lick your feet~"
"..."
Hearing this, the blue-haired girl stopped crushing Ruby, and a look of disgust appeared on her delicate pretty face. She didn't know what to do for a moment, feeling that no matter what she did... she would suffer.
However, if I don't step on my feet harder, I can't vent my anger.
(This... what is going on?)
Illya tilted her head slightly, and a question mark popped up in her head. She felt... that blue-haired girl looked familiar, but she couldn't remember... where she had seen her before.
"Um... can you please stop stepping on Ruby?"
She raised her hand slightly to signal and spoke in a low voice.
Hearing this, the blue-haired girl stiffened, her cold blue eyes softened, she looked at Illya aggrievedly, and said, "Master... do you care so much, Ruby?"
As she spoke, she wrapped her long legs in white stockings and exerted all her strength, trampling Ruby directly into the soil.
Illya blinked, more question marks appeared on his head, and he just scratched his cheek. "Um... did you admit the wrong person? We should have never met before."
"Sorry, Master... I haven't introduced myself yet."
The blue-haired girl showed an apologetic expression, pulled back her foot that was stepping on Ruby, slightly raised the sides of her skirt, performed an elegant skirt-lifting ceremony, and said:
"I am the master Magic Staff, and I am also your Soul Gem!"
"Huh?!"
Illya blinked and exclaimed, "You... I am Holy Grail War. I have been using Magic Staff. Touko Mama gave me the Soul Gem!"
"... Yes, I am the creation of Master Touko!"
The blue-haired girl nodded tenderly, and immediately got up with another kick Ruby, stepped hard into the soil, and crushed her up and down again, smiling and saying:
"Master, let me deal with this Ruby that is entangled around you. I will turn Ruby into scrap metal and throw it into the non-recyclable garbage pile."
Her smile was sweet and her murderous intent was clear.
It's not a lie. As long as Illya nods a little, she will really kill Ruby and throw it into the non-recyclable garbage pile.
"No, no, no, there's no need for that!"
Illya waved his hand hurriedly, and then asked doubtfully, "Compared to these... why, you have never spoken before, and I have never seen you turn into a human form?"
"No need!"
The blue-haired girl slightly raised her flat breastplate and said proudly, "As a Magic Staff, it is enough to have the ability to assist the master in casting spells. Transforming into a human form... and speaking are not necessary."
"Then... why have you turned into a human again now?"
Not far away, Tohsaka Rin made a questioning voice.
Hearing this, the blue-haired girl stepped hard on Ruby, who was about to climb out of the mud, and crushed her several times harder, explaining, "This is of course to teach you a lesson, this person dares to offend Illya The owner of 's Ruby is just a low-quality product. He dares to yell at the owner of Illya. He really deserves death... and is thrown into the non-recyclable garbage pile!"
"No, that's not the case!" Ruby reluctantly poked his head out of the soil, "You are just... jealous of my good relationship with Illya. You think I have taken your position, so you want to kill Ruby."
As she spoke, she shook her body and flew into the air.
"But, this is impossible...Ruby's performance is superior to yours, and it is also more interesting than you. You are now... abandoned!"
The sound echoed in the air like a declaration.
The delicate body of the blue-haired girl seemed to turn gray, and she was frozen in place, motionless. She seemed to have been hit to a painful point by...Ruby's words. In fact, she did not feel that she was no worse than Ruby.
However, it is true that she is relatively introverted. The actual role of Illya is not to exert the so-called ability of Magical Girl, but to... limit the power of Illya.
That's right, she is actually... created by the master of Touko and also has the function of a suppressor.
The reason is very simple. Little master Illya, possessing the power of Life Tree is too dangerous. If he does not restrain his rampage, it may... lead to a huge crisis that cannot be undone.
This crisis... refers to a crisis of a global nature.
"... I don't have such thoughts!"
Illya on the side retorted loudly, "I'm just not familiar with Ruby, so I want to use it more to get familiar with it. I don't want to abandon... your idea at all."
"... really?"
The blue-haired girl came back to her senses and asked Illya in a low voice.
Hearing this, Illya nodded vigorously. She did not abandon Touko Mama at all. The idea of giving her Magic Staff would probably last a lifetime if nothing else happened.
"Then... can I destroy her?"
The blue-haired girl looked surprised and grabbed Ruby, which was floating beside her. Her eyes were cold and she said, "Since it's owned by someone else, then this defective product... can be thrown away!"
"No, this..."
Seeing this, Illya looked embarrassed, and immediately seemed to notice something. She jumped away from the place, and the attack Chain Blade directly penetrated the ground beneath her feet.
Not far away, Medusa withdrew Chain Blade and launched another attack.
Chapter 466 Expectation
"... It's really... bad."
Aozaki Touko stood at the edge of the plowed field, looking at the withered yellow wheat. Although it could not be said that there was no harvest, the yield was pitifully low, making it difficult to maintain a basic life.
Originally, this land was not fertile, and it had to face foreign invasions from time to time, and there were very few crops that could be grown. To be honest... it was already extremely difficult to survive.
If a modern person were placed in such an environment, it would probably be no different from the so-called hell.
"Just be patient a little longer."
Not far away, the robber leader suddenly spoke, hoping. "As long as we continue to be patient for a while and wait for the chosen king to succeed to the throne, the situation will improve."
He spoke so hypnotically, his tone revealing the hope of living.
However, this is natural. The predictions made by the great sage Merlin... have never been wrong.
So, as long as you be patient... continue to be patient, sooner or later the situation will get better.
"..."
Aozaki Touko glanced at Miss Merlin, and then Miss Merlin responded with a moving smile, then raised his staff and pointed at the field.
In an instant, a miracle was triggered.
The already somewhat withered wheat continued to grow, and then, full ears of wheat appeared at the top of the stems, and the heavy weight bent the wheat, and the cultivated field turned into a golden field.
The breeze blew... and there was a pleasant rustling sound.
"This is...!"
The robber leader's eyes widened in disbelief. Then, regardless of the three witches beside him, he rushed directly to the plowing field and touched the top ears of wheat. The real touch was transmitted to his mind.
This... is not a fake, it is real and edible.
On the side, the villagers who followed also rushed into the farmland to check whether this scene was real. After all, this was a scene that could only appear in dreams.
This land... has never cultivated such a yield of food.
"..."
Not far away, Mordred was silently watching this scene. Her current thinking angle was that of King Britain. Therefore, she unexpectedly discovered one thing. Even if she takes King Arthur's place, she would probably... repeat the actions of 'Artoria'. This is not because she admires Artoria too much, but because she has no other better choice.
There is no way to solve the Britain food crisis without plundering supplies from other countries.
However, if you want to plunder the food of other countries, you must first plunder the materials of your own citizens, so that you can launch a war with other countries. However, in doing so... you have to harm the citizens you are supposed to protect.
However, a decision still had to be made.
Otherwise, the increasingly scarce food production will only lead the country to self-destruction, and ruthless decisions must be made.
From a rational perspective, one part is discarded to save another part.
"Are you sure? This is the real thing."
Aozaki Touko looked at the excited villagers and said with a smile, "Then... should we discuss the price you need to pay?"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The excited expressions of the excited villagers cooled down. Today's miracle is not free. It requires a heavy price to be paid. It is not an unreasonable gift.
"Ah... this is natural."
The robber leader stood up, looked at Touko seriously, and said, "So, Master Witch, what price do you want us to pay, a human life... or a beautiful girl."
His eyes showed a kind of cruelty. Even if he paid for his life, the beautiful girl seemed to be able to make a decision without regrets, and even... there was no hint of rejection.
In his opinion... as long as a small sacrifice or a beautiful girl can be exchanged for the survival of most people in the village, it is a cost-effective thing.
In this era... there isn't much room for tenderness.
"I'm... not interested in these."
Aozaki Touko waved her hand, then turned and left. She realized the nature of these villagers, just like when people encounter natural disasters and are desperate... some people will choose to make living sacrifices to pray for a miracle.
