Chapter 748
Miss Luvia, Miss Rin Tohsaka, Illyasviel originally lived peaceful lives, but were forced into conflict because of Miyu's arrival.
Therefore, these cards must be collected by myself alone.
You can't involve anyone else; you have to do it all by yourself.
Miyu said that to Illyasviel so as not to hurt anyone.
I collected all the Class Card myself.
She had to do this; she didn't want any more innocent people besides herself to get hurt.
That's why...
Even if it means becoming a shield, I won't let anyone get hurt!
"Miyu- sama!?"
Since there's no time to stop it, Miyu will at least become everyone's human shield, so she prepares to use the power of the Sapphire to create a protective barrier.
Just as I used up all my magic to create a magical protective barrier and opened my arms to face the enemy's attack.
"No!"
A voice came from behind.
Miyu turned around, and there stood another Kaleidoscope Magical Girl, Shirou's sister from this world.
"Illyasviel!?"
"Miyu, take this!"
Illya raised her wand and unleashed a massive magical barrage from behind Miyu.
Miyu didn't understand her intention for a moment.
At that moment, someone's words suddenly echoed in my mind.
"Regarding Miyu's flight, I actually had an idea... it's like this..."
"If you can't imagine yourself flying in the air, how about standing on magic?"
"Miyu is very good at controlling magic, right? If that's the case, if you use magic to construct a foothold, wouldn't you be able to move freely on it?"
That was a suggestion made by Illya's brother, Shirou Amamiya.
After hearing this suggestion, Miyu went back and tried it, and succeeded on her first try.
Leaping through the air using magic as a foothold.
This is a skill that Miyu, who is adept at controlling magic and possesses exceptional precision, can achieve.
Shirou had only watched Miyu fight a few times, but he was very perceptive enough to realize this.
"Mr. Shirou... thank you so much."
Although he's not my brother, but--
Miyu pursed her lips, turned her back to the magic cannon, and got into a fighting stance.
As Illya's Magic Cannon approached, Miyu used the technique she and Shirou had mastered to stand on it.
As if she had become one with the Light Cannon, the girl sped toward Caster with an acceleration that was unparalleled before.
"Class Card - Lancer, Install"...
In an instant, the distance closed by tens of meters, and Caster showed a look of astonishment.
Without a word, Miyu unleashed the cursed spear transformed from her Sapphire wand.
"----"Gae Bolg (Gáe Bolg)!"
The Noble Phantasm of Cú Chulainn, the Great Hero of the Ulster myth: the Demon Spear that reverses cause and effect.
The crimson spear traced a trajectory that defied the Physical Laws, piercing straight through the heart (Spirit Core) of the Corrupted Heroic Spirit.
Caster's body disintegrated into fragments and vanished, transforming into a card.
"... Class Card - Caster, collected."
"Very good!"
After retrieving Caster's Class Card, Illya happily raised her hands.
"You actually shot at Miyu! How reckless can you be?!"
Luvia grabbed her head and shook it in dissatisfaction, while Shirou kept trying to calm her down.
"Well, well~ Luvia, don't be angry~ It's such a waste to have such a pretty face like that."
"What...! Shirou!? Ugh... Since Shirou has said so... I'll reluctantly forgive you this time."
Luvia released Illya.
Shirou has mastered the user manual for Luvia: simply praising her cuteness will calm her down when she's in a rage.
"It's finally over..."
That was really close!
"Yes, Caster is a formidable opponent. I didn't expect the second battle to be so tough."
When Illya fired the magic cannon at Miyu, Shirou was indeed a little surprised, but he quickly recovered.
Miyu quickly realized what was happening and used the magic cannon as a pedal to achieve instant acceleration.
Luvia said smugly, "But this is all thanks to my excellent teaching! She truly is the girl I've chosen!"
Rin raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about? Although it was Miyu who defeated Caster, it was our Illya who came up with that battle plan."
And you didn't do anything! Don't act like you're so great!
Shut up, you Japan monkey!
"Alright, alright, you two... I told you not to fight."
Shirou sighed helplessly; they'd turned out like this just because he hadn't been watching them for a moment.
These two people will probably stay this way for the rest of their lives.
As Shirou separated the two arguing girls, he looked up at the sky and his gaze met that of another Magical Girl.
"... Mr Shirou."
Miyu met the boy's gaze, nodded slightly, and smiled.
"Miyu- sama... I know I'm being nosy, but Lady Illya..."
Miyu understood everything Sapphire wanted to say.
"... I don't doubt Miyu- sama's power."
However, if Miyu- sama fights alone, she probably won't be able to defeat this Caster.
Lady Illya is indeed still immature, but she is someone you can trust.
"... Um."
"The Magical Girl with the kaleidoscope is two people in one."
Only through the combined efforts of two people can a situation that one person alone cannot overcome be reversed.
Please don't forget this...
"I'll consider it."
Miyu nodded quietly, because there was no room for rebuttal.
Mr. Shirou and Illyasviel... I was saved by them this time too.
"You did it, Miyu!"
Miyu met up with a smiling Illya in mid-air.
"Illyasviel..."
"What's wrong?"
"Um... thank you."
"Okay! Don't be so polite! More important than this, let's hurry back to our brother's side~"
Illya grabbed Miyu's hand and flew towards the ground, eager to run to her brother and boast about her achievement.
Something... isn't right.
"What's wrong, Miyu- kun?"
Miyu looked around and said, "After we defeat the Corrupted Heroic Spirit and collect the cards, this space should start to collapse after a while."
But so much time has passed since Caster's destruction, yet space hasn't cracked. What's going on?
"Sigh... it's really true when you think about it."
Illya recalled the time she fought Rider.
Shortly after the Riders were defeated, cracks appeared in the sky, but so far nothing unusual has happened.
"I have a bad feeling... Sapphire..."
Just as Miyu was about to ask about the Kaleidoscope Wand--
"... Ahhh!!!"
The screams of Rin Tohsaka and the sound of an explosion could be heard from below.
Then, Illya Miyu witnessed it.
Even from hundreds of meters away, you could see that striking, dark figure.
"What... what's going on, Ruby?"
"That's the worst-case scenario."
"Completely unexpected—a second enemy has appeared."
"You can't be kidding... There's another Corrupted Heroic Spirit!?"
Whether Illya and the others believed it or not, a new enemy had indeed appeared.
Her light blonde hair was slightly white, and she was fully armed in black armor.
Clad in black armor and shrouded in black mist, the Corrupted Heroic Spirit exudes an overwhelming presence that seems disproportionate to its slender frame.
She wore a black mask that covered part of her eyes, and in her hand she held a demonic sword that symbolized despair.
Amidst the deafening explosion, the earth was easily torn apart.
The black torrent blowing from that petite body inevitably evokes the image of the strongest creature in myths and legends worldwide—the breath of a dragon.
"Elder brother...!!"
"Mr. Shirou! Miss Luvia! Miss Rin!"
Illya Miyu screamed at the top of their lungs.
The black torrent completely swallowed the three people on the ground; nothing could be seen from there anymore.
"Miyu, let's go!"
"Wait, Miss Illya! Look over there...!"
The smoke and dust at the epicenter of the explosion slowly dissipated with the wind.
Then, a figure emerged from the shrouded smoke.
The land, ravaged by a torrent of dark magic, has now been reduced to a shocking scorched wasteland.
Even so, one figure still stood there proudly.
Faced with a sudden attack from a new enemy, the red-haired boy reacted at the last second.
He grabbed Rin and Luvia on either side and leaped away, barely managing to avoid being engulfed and vaporized by the Light Cannon along with everyone else.
"Elder brother!!!"
"Mr. Shirou!!!"
The Magical Girl shouted with ecstatic joy.
