Uchiha Mai frowned slightly. Was this ability strong?

Very.

In Fate/Zero, Emiya Kiritsugu had pushed Innate Time Control as far as quadruple speed. What did that mean?

It meant that, with time flowing differently for him, his every movement, reaction, and thought would be four times faster than usual.

In terms of sheer speed, it certainly couldn't compare to Master Minato's Flying Thunder God, which could carry him a thousand miles in an instant. There was no contest.

But Master Minato's Flying Thunder God, or even an extraordinary Body Flicker Technique like the Lightning Style Body Strengthening Secret Technique, wouldn't improve reaction speed or thought.

Four seconds would pass for him while only one passed outside. It was powerful. Nearly unbeatable.

But this wasn't an ability Uchiha Mai wanted—or rather, one he could currently use without reservations.

What gave Emiya Kiritsugu the confidence to use Innate Time Control at quadruple speed? The King of Knights' Noble Phantasm, Avalon, was sealed inside his body.

The King of Knights was the legendary King Arthur.

Legend held that the King of Knights possessed two Noble Phantasms. The first was Excalibur, the holy sword that could cut through anything and let him defeat any enemy.

The second was Excalibur's sheath, Avalon. It kept its owner from aging and healed injuries rapidly.

The sheath was an even more powerful Noble Phantasm than the sword. It was the loss of the sheath that cast a dark shadow over the King of Knights' life and ultimately brought his kingdom to ruin.

Even with Avalon, Emiya Kiritsugu had only managed quadruple speed with Innate Time Control. What makes me, Uchiha Mai, think I can use this ability?

The only way Uchiha Mai could think to use it was to combine it with Litwick's Flame.

He could boost himself
