Chapter 801
Their expressions were contorted with pain as they looked at them with resentment.
"I'm sorry, Illya..."
"How could this be...?"
That's understandable.
Kuro and Miss Illya shared the excruciating pain, and Miss Miyu couldn't possibly be fully healed in such a short time.
It's already quite extraordinary that they could hold on for so long.
The situation turned hopeless once again.
Through Ruby's explanation, Illya was forced to realize that Kuro Miyu were no longer able to fight.
Bazett, on the other hand, was almost completely unharmed.
This is the Mage's Association's Sealing Designation Enforcer.
She will take all of Shirou 'Class Card before he gets back from school.
"... Take your hand off the card," Bazett said coldly.
"... don't want!"
Illya screamed, trembling.
I was actually terrified; my whole body ached as if it didn't belong to me.
But... I absolutely don't want to give it to her!
Bazett said coldly, "Don't you understand that I showed you mercy?"
If I wanted to, I could take your wrist along with the cards.
If you continue to be stubborn...
"...!!"
Illya gripped her Class Card and glared back fiercely at the other person.
Bazett sighed. "Fine, I'll just crush your hand like this."
"Tell..."
"?"
"Announcement..."
"What...?"
I will absolutely not hand it over.
Illya apologized to Chloe Miyu in her heart for not running away, and at the same time made up her mind.
I'll buy some time until my brother arrives.
"--Declaration. Your body is beneath me, my fate is in your sword."
If one follows the guidance of the Holy Grail and conforms to this will and principle, then one should take this oath.
I am all good in the world, I am all evil in the world.
"Miss Illya, could it be...!?"
The girl recalled what Kuro had done and the method Miyu had told her, and wove together her thoughts.
Magic Circle appeared beneath Illya's body, Bazett gasped in surprise.
But it was too late.
"--You are the guardian of the scales, bound by the three great incantations of the Seven Heavens, who came from the Circle of Restraint--!"
This was the first time Illya had transformed into Heroic Spirit using her own will and power.
"Phantasm Summon (Install)."
As the girl spoke, Bazett was blown away by the dazzling light.
"Illya..."
"That child, at such a critical moment..."
Miyu and Chloe looked surprised.
The light streaked across the sky.
Bazett was sent flying by Illya after she transformed.
Despite crossing her arms in defense, Illya's attack, along with her defense, sent her flying backward.
The attack was incredibly powerful; the ground was completely ripped open by Illya's strike.
Illya rose into the distant sky, riding the momentum of the attack.
Then, she traced the path of the light while spinning rapidly.
"Extraordinary burst of speed... So that's it, that's... the true power of the Rider Class Card...!"
Bazett looked up at the sky, his face filled with undisguised astonishment.
Illya stopped in mid-air, silently looking down at the enemy.
She rode a beautiful, pure white horse, her figure radiating a sense of sacredness.
Illya held a chained short sword and glared at Bazett with one eye.
The reason she only has one eye is because she wears an eyepatch over her right eye.
His remaining left eye, imbued with a powerful will, stared intently at the enemy.
That's the method that Miyu demonstrated before.
However, that's not something that can be done easily.
It's not enough to just know the summoning incantation; you must be able to synchronize with the Heroic Spirit.
Illya and Rider should have terrible compatibility, yet they were able to successfully transform...
She might just be a genius at "Phantasm Summon"...
While Miyu was pondering these things, Illya launched another attack.
She swooped down with astonishing speed, and for the first time, Bazett showed a look of anxiety, dodging the attack.
With greater mobility and impact than Magical Girl, Rider is undoubtedly Bazett's Natural Enemy.
No matter how skilled she was in martial arts, she couldn't defeat the Pegasus, which flew at incredible speed.
"... I have a guess."
Bazett loosened his tie, took off his tattered suit jacket and threw it on the ground, muttering to himself as he re-assuming a boxing stance.
"When I learned that a portion of Heroic Spirit's power could be summoned using Mystic Codes, I wondered if humans themselves could also become a medium?"
However, the Magecraft structures on the Class Card are extremely unique and complex, and the association has not yet been able to decipher them.
But she did it so easily...
"It seems the association also has some understanding of the mystery surrounding the cards' power. However, they haven't fully solved it."
"It seems so..."
Miyu nodded solemnly.
If what Bazett said is true, then we really can't hand over the Class Card to the Mage's Association.
Even if they haven't figured it out yet, they will eventually.
That would make things complicated.
Although it's said that the seal must be sealed, what if someone breaks the seal and uses the Heroic Spirit's power for their own benefit?
It's not absolutely impossible.
Only Miyu knew that these cards shouldn't have existed in this world in the first place.
On the other side, Illya rode on her pegasus, circling in the sky and adjusting her position.
"Only you... I will absolutely not let you get away with this!"
As she said this, Illya placed her hand on the eyepatch over her right eye.
In the next instant, the sealed demonic power was completely unleashed.
A purple light flashed, and Illya activated her "Mystic Eyes of Petrification".
"...!"
Bazett suddenly felt sluggish all over, inside and out.
Right now...!
Even if it can't completely stop her movements, this is enough.
As long as she can't dodge this attack, that's enough.
Illya transformed the chained dagger into reins of light.
Could that be--
Sapphire shouted upon seeing this.
"Lady Illya, could it be!? No way!"
"Sapphire?"
Miyu and Chloe looked at her with puzzled expressions and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, I can't use my Noble Phantasm on Bazett...!"
At the same time, Ruby noticed the problem and immediately pointed it out.
"Miss Illya, please calm down!"
But.
On one hand, Illya and Rider are not compatible.
On the other hand, the girl was blinded by rage and couldn't hear a sound from the wand at all.
"No!!"
"----" Bridle of Chivalry "!!"
In the instant her True Name Release, Illya caught a glimpse of Bazett's smile.
"This is what I've been waiting for..."
The Sealing Designation Enforcer curled the corners of his mouth, then growled.
"This moment!"
Magic surged, and the pegasus the girl Riding, enveloped in magic, swooped down to the ground.
However, Bazett remained calm and stood still, striking a pose.
"The Sword of Mars That Gouges and Slashes (Fragarach)"----!!!
Bazett threw a punch.
Something flew out from behind her, but she couldn't see it clearly.
Then, silence descended.
Illya was astonished to find that the pegasus she Riding had vanished.
"What happened... Ouch!"
Illya was thrown away by the strong reaction force.
The girl's body slid across the ground before collapsing limply.
Then, Rider's Class Card was ejected from her.
