Chapter 776
Volume 10: 466 There is no sister who can beat her brother!
"Ugh! Really, there's no way around it!"
Illya Miyu couldn't hold back and rushed out first.
Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka quickly pulled on the restraints, thus activating the capture technique. The restraints that had been binding Shirou loosened and instead attacked Black Illya.
Black Illya was not unprepared; she used her twin swords to cut the restraints and escaped with ease.
However, Rin Tohsaka and the others had also prepared a backup plan.
"Zeichen!" The Wedge of Invisible Lead Chains!
Luvia activated the spell that had been buried underground beforehand.
Magic Circle appeared beneath Black Illya's feet, followed by a heavy sensation that pinned her body firmly to the ground.
That's Magecraft that uses gravity to immobilize an object.
"Hmph... What a troublesome capture Magecraft. But..."
Black Illya remained calm despite being restricted in her movements by gravity Magecraft.
She sweated profusely as she concentrated her magic in her right hand.
"The difference in strength is vast compared to when fighting Berserker!"
With Black Illya's shout, the ground beneath her, along with the Magic Circle, shattered and vanished.
"Tsk... Illya! Amamiya- san!"
Rin Tohsaka, seeing that the trap was ineffective, called out to her brother and sister.
Illya ran wildly.
"In short, now it's all out, 'shotgun'!"
"There's no other way...!"
Shirou Projection a bow and sword, launching a distraction attack to obscure Black Illya's vision.
A direct aim would be dodged, but they never intended to hit with this attack anyway.
Shoot arrows as continuously as possible on the ground near the mysterious girl.
Shirou's arrow, along with Illya's volley of bullets, kicked up a cloud of dust, successfully obscuring Black Illya.
Next, everything will be entrusted to the actual attack.
"Here's the trick. Use a barrage of shotgun grenades and arrows to create a smokescreen. Then, of course, the next step is..."
Shirou heard the Black Illya standing amidst the thick smoke muttering to herself.
Were you seen through?
A figure darted out from behind Black Illya.
Miyu, hidden in the smoke, brandished something and lunged at her—but she was seen through after all.
Black Illya deftly twisted her body to dodge the surprise attack and grabbed Miyu's hand.
"Rule Breaker, huh... As expected of Miyu, she targeted a weakness right from the start."
"Gurgle...!"
Miyu held in her hand was a strangely shaped short sword.
The sword with its lightning-curved blade is Install Noble Phantasm of the Caster Class Card.
Its effect is to destroy or nullify all objects and contracts made of magic.
Miyu seemed to have judged that the attack would be effective against Black Illya, but the blade failed to touch Black Illya.
"This ability to handle situations is truly extraordinary."
"Yes, the way it was handled was infuriatingly thorough."
Rin Tohsaka and Luvia gritted their teeth.
Despite being outnumbered 5 to 1, they were unable to suppress and capture Black Illya.
"That's it?"
The mysterious girl tilted her head and asked.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Miyu's cheek.
A power unlike that of Corrupted Heroic Spirit.
Although he only exchanged one blow with Black Illya, it felt as if she already knew all of his moves.
The mysterious girl can immediately counter everyone's attacks.
Tohsaka and the others' Magecraft was sealed, and their own and Illya's magic cannons were also dodged.
It would be difficult for Mr. Shirou to go all out in attacking her, who has the same face and the same aura as Illya.
"What should I do... Waaah."
Illya gazed at the enemy who bore a striking resemblance to herself, while the enemy wore a pleased expression.
She felt out of place in this situation.
An enemy who shares the same stance as oneself... an indescribable feeling.
It's almost like fighting against your own reflection in a mirror.
Illya murmured, "This guy's existence really... disgusts me."
What does "disgusting" mean?
Black Illya launched a merciless attack, hurling her scimitar.
"Ehhhhhh!?"
Illya barely dodged and then ran away, with the enemy in hot pursuit.
"You really are infuriating! Just die right here!"
"Eek!? Don't use honorifics to say you want me to die! You can't say things like that!"
"Who cares about you! Just go die!"
"Wow, that's so unreasonable!"
Illya disregarded shame and pride, and ran desperately through the forest.
At that moment, a voice rang out.
That's enough!
"Miss Rin, Miss Luvia!"
Illya looked toward the source of the sound with teary eyes.
Rin Tohsaka held the Azoth Sword in her hand, while Luvia clutched a handful of jewels.
They, who usually seem completely unreliable, now appear like saviors.
It's completely unimaginable that they were the ones who initially wanted to use Illya as bait.
Rin and Luvia stood between Illya and the enemy, while Shirou Miyu chased after them from behind.
This completes the pincer attack.
"Hey, outsiders, don't get in the way. Go cool off somewhere else!"
Black Illya bent down and picked something up while running.
That was the restraint belt originally used to capture her.
"What!?!?"
She infused magic into the severed binding costume, then flung it at Rin and Luvia.
"Damn it... They actually used my costume against me!"
"Ah... what a strong sense of déjà vu!"
Rin and Luvia were tied to a tree.
"Hey, how did you guys get taken down so quickly!?"
The sense of security that had surged within Illya just moments before vanished without a trace.
"Still the same old thing, it's useless."
"In that case, I'll do it... Rapid Fire!"
Miyu launched a series of attacks from behind Black Illya, but they were easily dodged.
"Miyu, that's a last resort. You already saw that yesterday; it won't work on me, will it?"
"Well, at least it can keep you occupied!"
To hold off the enemy, Miyu continued firing her magic cannon.
"I see. So that's how it is. Then..."
The mysterious girl turned around and took the initiative to approach Miyu.
"What!?"
A gigantic axe-sword, several times her own height, appeared in Black Illya's hand.
"Fake Nine Lives"... In short, a forceful suppression!
The mysterious girl used this axe-sword as a shield to block all the magic cannons fired from the front and quickly approached Miyu.
Miyu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the axe-sword.
"Miyu!"
Shirou rushed towards Miyu, but it was too late.
"Too slow, brother. The outcome is already decided. One of the weaknesses of the Kaleidoscope Magical Girl is close combat."
Black Illya leaped into the air and quickly approached Miyu —she didn't attack, but instead snatched the Kaleidoscope Wand from the girl's hand.
Hello, Sapphire~
"Um, that..."
The Sapphire, now in enemy hands, trembled with fear, while Black Illya turned to Miyu.
"Then there is the second weakness... The transformation will be canceled if the wand is removed from the hand for 30 seconds or more than 50 meters away from the owner."
You have to hold on tight, Miyu... Well then, bye-bye~
Black Illya used the back of her sword to strike the Kaleidoscope Wand into the sky, disappearing into the distant horizon.
"Miyu-sama! Aa ..."
With Sapphire gone, Miyu could only helplessly watch her transformation end.
"You're kidding, even Miyu was easily defeated by her."
"That Black Illya is indeed very unusual."
Seeing the mysterious girl closing in on her, Illya took a step back in fear.
"Hey... wait a minute."
The final sound rang out.
Illya was overjoyed. "Brother!!"
Black Illya narrowed her eyes. "... Brother."
She stopped, turned towards Shirou, and then slightly widened her pupils.
The reason is--
The twin swords Shirou was currently wielding were not his usual "Blades of Chaos"—but rather the black and white "Kanshou and Bakuya."
That was Noble Phantasm copied after watching Black Illya's battle.
