Chapter 747

What she needs to do now is buy time until the injured and immobile Miyu returns to the front lines, and draw Caster's attention so that the enemy's focus is solely on her.

Making Caster realize that I am his greatest enemy is part of the plan.

"... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Illyasviel."

It took a little effort.

Just then, Miyu returned, and the area where she was injured had already regenerated.

"Miyu, are you alright now?"

"No problem. Then, proceed according to the battle plan."

Leave it to me!

As soon as the signal to begin the battle was given, Illya recklessly approached Caster at high speed from the front.

During the attack and defense just now, the enemy's attention was completely focused on her.

"Wait, Illya! You're the bait! What are you trying to do, rushing all the way ahead like that?!"

"Exactly! Don't force it, create some distance! Focus on getting her attention!"

Surprised voices came from below from Rin and Luvia, but Illya ignored them.

They're right, but it's also part of the battle plan: it's important to make Caster think he's going to attack.

Countless magic projectiles rained down.

As Illya shot them down, she charged straight ahead, concentrating her magic on Ruby.

The genius witch could sense a significant change in Caster's aura; she realized that Illya was about to unleash her most powerful attack to date.

Illya gripped the wand with both hands.

"It's coming, Ruby! A super-sized... 'shotgun'!"

Illya unleashed a burst of bullets infused with maximum magical power, charging towards Caster.

She didn't consider defense at all, but instead poured all her magic into it.

In this way, even Caster cannot easily defend against it.

This is the battle plan devised by Miyu --

Caster determined that this attack was undefendable and used the divine skill "Space Transfer" once again.

"Disappeared again!?"

"Where did you go!?"

Where did Caster go?

Isn't the answer obvious?

Before Caster appeared behind her, Illya used all her remaining magic power to create a magic shield.

The "shotgun" attack, which was released like fireworks, bounced off the ground.

All the light projectiles were deflected back behind Illya and poured down, where the teleporting witch appeared.

"That's right! The magic reflection control plane! It's the one Caster deployed in the air that deflected the shotgun shells!"

"Did the Magic Bullet bounce off his back and hit Caster instead?"

The plan was a success.

Caster is a woman with a rather wicked personality, Illya and the others realize this and use it against her.

As she circled behind Illya, she used the reflective barrier she had created to draw the attack there.

"!!"

Caster is unable to perform continuous "Space Transfer" and is forced to activate magical defenses.

This time, she stopped moving completely.

Then, Miyu, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

"Now, Miyu- kun!"

Above Caster stood a dark-haired girl whom she had overlooked.

The Sapphire wand was imbued with its maximum magical power, ready to unleash a decisive blow.

"Maximum bullet velocity... Sniper!"

The azure magic transformed into a massive beam of light and was released.

The beam pierced through the immobilized Caster, blowing away the woven protective barrier and sending it crashing to the ground.

Meanwhile, the two on the ground were also poised to strike.

"Anfang!"

"Zeichen!"

The resentment from being unilaterally tormented for two nights now transformed into Rin and Luvia's burning fighting spirit.

Several gems sparkled in the girls' palms, radiating a beautiful and dreamlike light.

"Fivefold Blast Wind Bullets!"

"Sevenfold Explosive Flame Bullets!"

"Rotor Sturm: Flame-Colored Raging Storm" ----!!!

That was undoubtedly a terrifying destructive power comparable to a Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm.

The tornado created by Rin Tohsaka, combined with the flames created by Luvia.

Multiplying two A-rank Magecraft together produces an effect far greater than twice as strong.

A vortex of flames, tens of meters high, raged across the Miyou River, swallowing the witch and the surrounding atmosphere whole.

Volume 10: Chapter 452 Ahoge: You're not including me in the team building activity, are you?

Illuminated by the bursting flames, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Zelitt let out a long breath.

"Phew... that should defeat them by now, right?"

"Probably. In fact, if they're still not eliminated after all this, they'd be a real monster."

Illya looked around and said, "The Magic Circle in the sky has disappeared too. We should have defeated it by now."

Just as she said, the Magic Circle that had just covered the entire sky had completely disappeared; it was over.

With this certainty confirmed, the girls all breathed a sigh of relief.

This peace didn't even last five seconds.

"Speaking of which, Rin Tohsaka! What do you mean by five consecutive wins!? Don't be stingy when it comes to deciding the outcome!"

"Ugh, so annoying! My financial situation is different from yours, you nouveau riche! I can't just use gems like that!"

"Hey, hey, isn't it good that you won? Don't argue even when you win."

Even though Shirou was in the spectator's seat, he was constantly worried about Illya Miyu's safety, so he wasn't relaxed at all.

He slumped his stiff shoulders. "And Luvia, the way you talk is a bit too much for a young lady..."

She's a rare beauty, I think she'd look even better if she had a bit more of a young lady's air about her.

"Huh...?"

Luvia stood there, stunned.

Shirou has wanted to criticize her for a long time.

Please don't add "Desuwa~" when you're arguing; it makes it hard to tell whether it's classy or vulgar.

After Shirou pointed this out, Luvia blushed and stood there as if she had been electrocuted.

"..."

Rin crossed her arms and snorted.

Shirou was clearly speaking up for her, but for some reason he became unhappy.

Shirou sighed and then gave instructions to the other side.

"Tohsaka, don't you get tired of always being angry?"

Tohsaka looks cuter when she smiles, that's good. Otherwise, Ruby and Sapphire will dislike her again, okay?

"...!!"

Rin Tohsaka, who had been sulking just a moment ago, fell silent, her face flushed red.

Ruby said with a grin.

"Mr. Shirou, you're planting your flag as naturally as breathing. One day you'll get stabbed in the back, won't you?"

Why...?

Shirou sighed and walked towards the huge crater created by Rin and the others.

"Alright, time to collect Caster's cards... wait?"

There was nothing in the huge pit, several meters deep.

There were neither the remains of a witch nor the cards left behind after Corrupted Heroic Spirit was defeated.

A bad feeling ran down his spine, Shirou turned his head and shouted.

"Illya! Miyu! Caster isn't here yet...!"

"--------!!"

Three enormous Magic Circle, seemingly capable of completely obscuring the night sky, appeared above everyone's heads.

Floating in the center of the Magic Circle is the witch who should have already been destroyed.

The Magecraft of the Age of Gods once again reign supreme in the distant skies.

Her body was badly mangled, her right side completely shattered, but she was still alive and emanating a fierce killing intent.

"Caster...!"

"Space Transfer... she escaped again!"

That was a powerful magic that seemed to crush the entire space.

Rin and Luvia snapped out of their dazed state and reacted to the magical power.

But it was too late; no one could out-cast Caster.

"Oh no... that Magic Circle is... she's planning to burn down the entire space!!"

"It's about to start!"

Miyu, who was suspended in mid-air, was the first to react and rushed towards Caster.

Illya shouted from behind, "Miyu- kun, no!"

Luvia: "We shouldn't engage them; we should retreat immediately!"

Rin: "Now that things have turned out this way, fighting or running away is impossible..."

Sapphire: "Miyu- sama! It's too late!"

Miyu, rushing towards Caster, realized that, just as Sapphire and the others had said, it was too late.

"I know! But if we don't do this... we finally managed to corner Caster!"

Miyu raced wildly through the night sky.

Although she understood what Sapphire meant, she felt it was her responsibility.

The Class Card were lost and scattered because of my own mistake.

The current situation is entirely my own fault.

Because Miyu came into this world—she is the Root of all this calamity.

People who weren't supposed to fight, people who weren't supposed to get hurt, were drawn into the battle, and then got injured.
