Chapter 836
Looking at her only close friend, Miyu said, "So, trust me."
"..."
The girl paused for a moment, then nodded with a resolute expression.
"I understand. I'll take it down."
"Um."
Miyu and Illya exchanged a glance, then Miyu used "Mana Burst" to approach the White Beast.
The subsequent attacks were all designed to create opportunities for Illya.
Miyu's close-range guerrilla tactics threw the enemy off balance, causing them to become flustered and disorganized.
"Okay... that's settled!"
Miyu flew towards the White Beast below, simultaneously thrusting out her holy sword and pinning the beast's forepaw to the ground.
On the other side, Irisviel and Teacher Kare also used alchemical threads and the Holy Shroud to barely control the other front paw.
And so, the greatest threat to the wild beasts was taken away.
"----------!!!"
"What?"
The Pure White Beast began to roar to the sky.
With a roar, something extended from the top of the beast's head.
Everyone present trembled with a deep-seated fear.
That is--
From the head of that beast, which resembled both a cat and a dog, grew curved, enormous horns.
That is the horn that represents the Beast's true power— the Beast Crown.
The Child of the Planet is gradually transforming into an adult beast.
"No, Illya! We have to run! That's beyond our capabilities!"
Chloe, with Instinct keen intuition, immediately shouted in alarm.
"No, we can't waste this opportunity that everyone worked so hard to create."
Illya stood motionless in the sky.
Incredibly, the girl felt no fear whatsoever in the face of that monster that surpassed human intelligence.
Until now, Illya has always been a coward who is afraid of fighting.
At first, my legs would tremble at the mere sight of blood.
Thanks to my brother, Miyu, Kuro, Rin-nee, Luvia- nee...
I've been able to hold on until now because they've protected me.
Now, it's my turn to protect them.
"It's on..."
Illya took a deep breath.
She discarded the Queen's scepter and grasped another weapon that had appeared beside her—
The true Noble Phantasm Fae Consort Morgan.
"Holy Lance, pull anchor."
Illya closed her eyes, her expression one of prayer, and then revealed the true name of the Holy Lance.
"Shining in... the Spear of the End (Rhongomyniad)!!!"
The distorted, rapidly moving light even carried away the sound.
The Holy Lance shot out brilliant light, as if sweeping away all darkness and despair, illuminating the sky of the Mirror World.
Then came a deafening roar that echoed all around, and a blinding light that scorched the viewer's vision.
Through the pale, intense light, cracks could be seen on the beast's giant horn.
The beast's enormous body stopped expanding and began to shrink.
Therefore, Illya increased the firepower of the Holy Lance.
"Illya! Use my magic too!"
Miyu jumped to Illya's side and said.
Just like back then, when Shirou, Illya, Miyu defeated Berserker together --
The Magical Girl gripped the Holy Lance together, channeling their magic into it to increase its power.
The torrent of light seemed powerful enough to pierce through the stars.
Under the continued pressure of the Holy Lance, the beast's horns finally began to crumble.
Then, the Pure White Beast was completely engulfed by the light and vanished without a trace.
Later, at the place where the White Beast disappeared, Illya and her friends saw the suspiciously beautiful woman who claimed to be Magical Girl.
True Magic ☆ Meli's clothes became tattered, and she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Then, the scenery in the space changed.
"I'm finally back," Illya murmured.
"Yes. That illusion technique is indeed a subtype of Inherent Barrier."
This is Great Cavern near the center of the spiritual vein; this is the original scenery.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Illya."
"Thank you for your hard Miyu, Miyu-sama."
And so, the long battle has finally come to an end—or so it seems?
Miyu looked around and said, "Mr. Shirou... is gone."
"By the way, where's my brother?"
While Illya and the others were fighting the Flower Magical Girl, Shirou should have been dealing with Ruler's goddess... That should have been the main battlefield!
But now, neither the goddess nor the boy has been seen.
Where did they go?
"If we can't retrieve Ruler's Class Card, Illya's work can't be finished."
"Mom! This isn't the time to worry about Class Card! My brother is missing!"
Illya couldn't help but say.
"Hehehe, of course I know~ But it's okay with Shirou, he's Mom's hero."
"What does that even mean?"
Illya was speechless.
Rin Tohsaka and Luvia were knocked unconscious the moment the White Beast appeared and have not yet woken up.
To find Shirou's whereabouts, they must first be treated.
When Rin and the others were awakened, Miyu to Illya's side.
"Illya, could I see Berserker's card?"
"Yes, of course."
Miyu took the card from the girl's hand, then frowned.
"As expected... something's not right..."
"What's wrong?" Illya asked curiously.
"This isn't the card design I recognize."
Miyu muttered to herself with a confused expression.
"Berserker's Class Card has been replaced... Who on earth would do such a thing...?"
Morgan... why are you here!
The Lion King glared angrily at the witch who was pressed tightly against Shirou's body and questioned her.
Is this how you talk to your sister, Artoria?
She's still as rude and uncouth as ever, which is why I hate girls who grew up in the countryside.
It seems that even if you become a goddess, the only thing that's grown is those two lumps of fat on your chest; your brain hasn't improved at all.
Morgan was completely oblivious to the goddess's gaze, which seemed to pierce through him.
She looked at her sister while stroking the boy's neck with her slender fingers.
This gesture was strangely touching, igniting an unnamed fire within the goddess.
Morgan continued, "Since you can be here, so can I, and besides..."
I didn't come to see you... I came to see Shirou.
"Don't joke around."
The Lion King scoffed, "In the end, Shirou doesn't even know you, does he...?"
The Morgan he knows and cares about is Morgan from another world, not you, buddy.
Morgan of Pan-Human History, raised an eyebrow. "Oh, is that so? Shirou, tell me the truth about your foolish sister."
"?"
The Lion King looked at Shirou with a puzzled expression, only to see the red-haired boy wearing a very embarrassed look.
"I'm sorry, Artoria... I've never had a chance to tell you..."
"Wait, wait a minute..."
The goddess's "Instinct" kicked in, and a bad premonition was looming.
"Actually, Morgan here..."
Shirou tilted his gaze and said, "Your sister... I've also received help from her a few times before."
"What did you say!?!?"
It was as if a bolt of lightning had fallen from the night sky and struck the Lion King hard on the head.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
The boy's expression showed no hostility towards the witch, but rather a certain indulgence, making it hard to believe that their relationship was as simple as "taking care of her a few times."
Morgan: "Heh, Shirou, you're so cute. I'd do anything for you, even give up Britain..."
Shirou: "Um... Miss Morgan, could you please let go of me?"
Morgan: "No way?"
The two people standing right in front of me are talking, but their voices sound so distant...
The goddess's mind went completely blank.
Volume 10: Chapter 496 The Lion King's Deepest Regret
I glanced at the time; it was a little past nine o'clock at night.
After agonizing over his decision, Shirou decided to go home.
Walking on either side of him were the Britain sisters, the Lion King and the Fae Consort, whose atmosphere was tense and confrontational.
Since he simply couldn't bear to let the two of them argue outside, Shirou decided to take them home.
