Chapter 746
The agile Illya is responsible for feints and disruptions, while the highly skilled Miyu is responsible for dealing damage.
The battle plan was thus finalized.
Rin Tohsaka asked with some concern, "Speaking of which, Miyu, you can fly already? It's only been a few hours."
"Um."
Miyu nodded, then looked at the red-haired boy beside her.
"Thanks to Mr. Shirou, he told me about a method he had come up with."
Although I still can't fly, I've already adapted to aerial combat.
Hearing her say that, Shirou asked excitedly, "Did you succeed?"
"Yes, Mr. Shirou!"
Miyu answered with great enthusiasm, nodding earnestly like a small animal.
Rin asked curiously, "What method...?"
Shirou stopped her from asking any further questions, "You'll find out when the time comes. Just leave it to Miyu."
"What? They're keeping you in suspense. Amamiya is so smug... I'm getting a little annoyed."
Shirou ignored Rin's displeasure and patted the black-haired girl's head. "Miyu, prove it to everyone."
"OK!"
Miyu, her head being stroked, gave a shy and adorable smile.
"Hmm~~~"
A blinding gaze came from the side.
Illya remained silent, glaring angrily in their direction.
"Alright, it's about time to get ready, Ruby."
Rin Tohsaka urged them on.
"Okay, okay. Shall we go then?"
"Everyone, please come to Lady Illya Miyu's side."
Following the instructions of the Kaleidoscope Wand, everyone gathered around Illya Miyu.
Then Ruby and Sapphire began chanting the fixed incantation leading to the Mirror World.
"Limited-Dimensional Reflector Formation!"
"The Mirror World Corridor section has been reversed!"
"Border boundary!"
A dazzling white light enveloped everything.
The group returned to the Caster waiting area.
Just like before, the witch floated around with Magic Circle large enough to cover the sky.
Caster gave a cold smile when she saw the kids reappear.
"Let's finish this in one go!"
"But you won't lose a second time!"
Rin and Luvia's announcement officially kicked off the revenge war.
Signaled by this, the witch in the sky unleashed a rain of Magic Bullet, and Illya Miyu also flew out.
Illya flew into the air, dodging the rain of magic bullets as she flew towards the witch.
Seeing this, the witch in the sky focused her attack on Illya, but she skillfully dodged it.
His flying skills are quite high.
On one hand, it's due to her early elite education ( from Magical Girl anime), and on the other hand, it's probably because Illya inherently possesses this talent.
This level of aerial combat seemed effortless for Illya; she could clearly see the enemy in the distance.
"I'm all set! So I'll leave the defeating of the enemy to Miyu- kun!"
Illya even had the leeway to launch a counterattack while dodging the attacks.
"I know!"
Upon hearing Illya call her name, Miyu also took action.
Using the air as a foothold, the girl leaped high into the air.
Rin and Luvia were both taken aback by what they saw.
This is the common-sense method of aerial combat that Shirou told Miyu.
Miyu uses magic to create footholds in the air, leaping and soaring into the sky.
"Go ahead, you two!"
Illya launched the first attack.
"Medium-sized... 'shotgun'!"
She used her wand to create Magic Bullet that resembled shrapnel, and countless light bullets scattered in all directions.
This was a feint, which successfully caused Caster to stop attacking and begin defending.
Miyu didn't miss the opportunity and leaped close to the witch's unguarded back.
Lancer, "Install"!!
Miyu pulled out a card and stuck it on Sapphire, Kaleidoscope Wand transformed into a crimson spear.
That was the "Install" of the Lancer Class Card she possessed; for Magical Girl, this was their Noble Phantasm.
We won.
Luvia clenched her fists excitedly, but--
"What!?"
The moment Miyu launched her attack with the red spear, Caster's figure suddenly vanished.
"Miyu, watch out behind you!"
"Huh!?"
Caster appeared out of nowhere behind Miyu.
By the time she heard Shirou's warning, it was too late.
Shirou saw the witch's alluring smile...
"Miyu!"
Miyu took Caster's attack head-on and was sent flying onto the iron bridge.
"That just now, could it be...!"
It's "Space Transfer"!
"You can't be kidding me!? That's already in the realm of True Magic! Unbelievable!"
Rin and Luvia explained Caster's abilities.
That doesn't seem to be Noble Phantasm, but rather his own strength as Divine Era Magus.
Caster's Magecraft skills far exceeded their expectations.
If there's anything to be thankful for, it's that this witch became unable to use her Noble Phantasm after turning evil.
Since they haven't used their Noble Phantasm yet, it shouldn't be "not using it," but rather "it's useless," right?
As Shirou analyzed the situation in his mind, a thought also occurred to him:
Who knows, Caster's most dangerous aspect might be her Noble Phantasm... We were actually quite lucky.
Miyu, who had been knocked away, crashed heavily into the Miyou River Bridge and lay there motionless.
That pose was practically saying, "Come and finish me off."
"Miyu, run! Tsk!"
Rin and Luvia looked ashen-faced.
The bridge is too far away; even if they wanted to use Magecraft to help, it would be too late.
Moreover, Caster's chanting is truly lightning fast.
In the blink of an eye, countless light projectiles rained down on Miyu.
Just then, a dazzling Shadow flew towards Miyu.
"Illya!"
Illya evaded all pursuers and managed to pick up Miyu before the attack hit, escaping the massive explosion caused by Caster.
"No, Shirou! I was too confident before! We can't beat Caster on our own. Can you help me?"
Luvia bit her lip and said urgently.
Rin's expression was equally grave. "I also want to apologize. We took the battle too lightly. If this continues, Illya Miyu will be in danger."
"..."
Shirou stared silently at the illusory night sky reflected in the Mirror World.
Illya Miyu, flying in the air, seemed to be talking about something.
Seeing their serious expressions, Shirou made up his mind and spoke.
"No, let's leave this to Illya and the others."
"Huh!? Are you crazy, Amamiya?!"
Shirou turned to Rin Tohsaka: "You told me to trust Illya and the others... didn't you?"
"That's... but..."
"The Magical Girl of the Kaleidoscope is two people in one. If they can cooperate well, the possibilities are endless."
"Ugh... yes, that's right..."
Rin's momentum gradually weakened.
Trusting Illya... that's the resolve Shirou has made.
When it comes to "believing in his sister," Shirou feels he wouldn't lose to anyone in the world.
"Rin, Luvia, I'll leave the support shooting to you two."
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! I don't care what happens after that!"
"I'll play along with you two idiots to the very end!!!" Rin yelled, messing up her hair.
Luvia rested her chin on the back of her hand, smiled elegantly and confidently, and said, "Please enjoy Edelfelt's amazing skills."
Shirou nodded and turned to look at the night sky.
"Go for it, Illya, Miyu..."
He quietly cheered on his sisters.
Illya Miyu maneuvered around Caster in the air for a while.
If the speculation is correct, Caster's magic power is almost limitless, so a war of attrition is pointless.
Miyu explained the new operation to Illya: to approach Caster and attract her attention.
Illya dodged with all her might while simultaneously using her magic cannon to deflect the attacks.
