"God" / Avenger (There's More Coming, Probably at Dawn)

For some reason, the man's hesitant movements suddenly stopped, and he held his breath as if listening attentively, occasionally nodding.

Irisviel stared in surprise at the man's rambling manner. Although she didn't understand what was going on, her intuition told her that things might take an unexpected turn.

Really--

Wow~

An exaggerated exclamation escaped the man's lips, and then, under Irisviel's wary gaze, the man opposite her scrutinized her carefully from head to toe, before clicking his tongue in amazement:

"I really don't know what 'God' saw in you, Madam."

The man's words instantly raised Irisviel's guard to its highest level:

This man's goal... was indeed the Holy Grail!

Thinking this, Irisviel subconsciously drew the weapon hidden in the sleeve of her coat.

At first glance, what she held in her hands might not even qualify as a weapon, but merely an unreliable object. Wrapped between her fingers was a bundle of soft, delicate metal wire.

"Hey, madam, are you kidding me?"

Looking at the thin metal wire in Irisviel's hand, the man's face revealed a half-smile. This silver-haired beauty's "weapon" probably couldn't even knock the dagger out of his hand.

However, he was clearly wrong.

Irisviel infused magic into the metal wire. The extremely thin wire untied itself and began to flow between his fingers as if it had come to life:

ShapeistLeben! (O wreckage, I give you life!)

Under Irisviel's two-bar aria.

The silver threads in her hands crisscrossed and intertwined, like invisible hands skillfully weaving a handicraft in the void, gradually forming intricate outlines. They intertwined and combined...

As the metal wires gradually took shape, an exquisite silver wire sculpture, modeled after a giant eagle with fierce wings, a beak, and sharp claws, appeared on Irisviel's arm.

No, it's not just about replicating models!

Kyeee--

With a high-pitched screech like a metal blade slicing through the air, the silver-haired eagle took flight to the man's astonishment. It was Homu, created on the spot using alchemy. It was the final weapon that Irisviel had given life to!

Its speed, like that of a bullet, far exceeded the man's imagination. In the blink of an eye, the silver eagle rushed in front of the man, and like a speeding car hitting a pedestrian, it actually knocked the man away!

The man arced through the air before landing heavily on the flowerbed in the courtyard, then tumbled to the ground. When he finally came to a stop, he was covered in dust and coughing up blood...

What was originally just a probing attack yielded unimaginable results.

Irisviel was stunned by what she was seeing. It was completely different from the scenario she had imagined. In Irisviel's mind, the man in front of her must be a powerful Magecraft.

But unexpectedly...

Looking at the man lying on the ground in front of her, Irisviel even began to suspect that someone else might have been the one who had just destroyed the barrier.

"Cough! Cough cough!"

The man who had been lying on the ground suddenly staggered to his feet, and after a violent coughing fit, he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Blood..."

The man slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a strange look appearing in his eyes. He bit his lip; the lingering taste of blood was intoxicating.

"My lord, it seems I can't capture this lady alive. May I ask if I can kill her?"

With his eyes closed and hands clasped together as if in prayer to a deity, the man posed his question.

His tone was melodious and his expression solemn and dignified.

The questions asked, however, made Irisviel secretly wary.

[... Can]

The voice that reached his ears filled him with joy. The man opened his eyes again, and his iridescent eyes reappeared in their sockets.

--Magic Mystic Eyes

Seeing this, Irisviel became secretly wary. Although she didn't yet know what kind of Mystic Eyes it was, but...

"Hey, Madam~ please remember..."

As Irisviel was pondering this, she suddenly heard a man's voice beside her.

"The one who will kill you— Ryunosuke Uryu."

Chapter 110. "God"

"Madam, please remember... the person who killed you..."

The man's voice interrupted Irisviel's thoughts. Looking up, she noticed that in the moonlight, the man's grin appeared strangely eerie.

"It's me— Ryunosuke Uryu ~"

"?!"

The man standing before Irisviel was none other than Ryunosuke, who had escaped from prison the previous night! No one knew how he had found out about this place.

Although she vaguely remembered the name "Ryunosuke," Irisviel obviously had no time to pay attention to these details. Under her magical control, the silver eagle that had been circling in mid-air after its successful attack swooped down on Ryunosuke Uryu, and this time the speed of the dive was obviously several times faster than the first time!

And Ryunosuke,

Although the "Silver Eagle" grew larger and Mystic Eyes in Ryunosuke's pupils, he was astonished to find that the "eyes" that "God" had given him, which were invincible, could not see the outline of the "eagle"!

"..."

Faced with this unexpected situation, Ryunosuke's mind went completely blank.

However, in this critical moment, his body reacted before his brain. Starting from his waist, Ryunosuke's entire upper body instinctively leaned back!

Even so, the razor-sharp beak still managed to scrape a chunk of flesh off Ryunosuke's nose! The next second, the Silver Eagle, its trajectory now irreversible, slammed into the ground, creating a huge hole and kicking up clouds of dust on the battlefield.

Immediately afterward, Ryunosuke, his face covered in blood, burst through the smoke like a vengeful ghost, rushing towards Irisviel on the other side of the battlefield, the dagger in his hand gleaming with a dazzling silver light. 1,02.0!0?37"992

But--

Kyeee!!!

With a screech, "Silver Eagle" pierced through the smoke like a bullet, extending its claws towards Ryunosuke's unprotected back as he charged forward.

Unfortunately, Ryunosuke was already prepared, nimbly jumped to the side, causing the sure-fire strike to miss its target. The "Silver Eagle," having lost its target, landed on the ground, where the originally hard bluestone floor was easily reduced to dust by its sharp claws.

When the newly revived "Silver Eagle" tried to find Ryunosuke again, it discovered that Ryunosuke was now not far from Irisviel's current location!

How big is the Matou House's garden?

Taking advantage of the moment "Silver Eagle's" attack missed, Ryunosuke burst forth at top speed, rushing towards Irisviel, who was not far away. Watching the lines on Irisviel's body constantly contorting, he then—

All you need to do is rush to her side and make a gentle swipe...

Thinking this, Ryunosuke's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile once more:

It's getting closer--

Closer!

The expression on the lady's face was now clearly visible, but the hissing and the sound of wings slicing through the air coming from behind indicated that the "unkillable" thing was rapidly approaching.

However, for Ryunosuke, who had already figured out the "Silver Eagle's" modus operandi, dodging its attacks was a piece of cake. Seizing the opportunity, he jumped away again. As Ryunosuke expected, the "Silver Eagle" once again kicked up a cloud of dust where it landed. But Ryunosuke had no time to care about that. Looking at Irisviel, who was so close at hand, Ryunosuke excitedly raised the dagger in his hand.

However--

"Huh?"

Ryunosuke stared in astonishment at his right arm, which he couldn't move an inch no matter what he did. Suddenly, several silver threads appeared from behind and tightly wrapped around Ryunosuke's right hand, which was holding a dagger.

Although Ryunosuke immediately caught the dagger with his left hand and slashed fiercely at the silver thread, the silver thread that extended from behind him also wrapped around his hand.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the silver threads that had just been soaring in the air in the form of an eagle now bound Ryunosuke's hands tightly like handcuffs.

The next second, amidst Irisviel's angry shout, a strand of silver thread unfurled from the silk binding Ryunosuke's hands, this time slithering through the void like a snake, coiling around a nearby tree trunk.

The silver threads tightly wrapped around the tree trunk, dragging the struggling Ryunosuke, finally binding his wrists firmly to the trunk.

Seeing Ryunosuke bound to the tree trunk and unable to move, Irisviel breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been wary of Ryunosuke's Mystic Eyes.

Although Irisviel still doesn't know what the purpose of his Mystic Eyes is, judging from Ryunosuke's current state, the Mystic Eyes can't solve his current problem.

Just die like this--

Thinking this, Irisviel channeled her magic, and the silver threads binding Ryunosuke's body gradually tightened...

"Are you going to die?"

At the same time, feeling his body gradually tightening, Ryunosuke couldn't help but sigh. Although Ryunosuke had thought about how he would end his life, now that the moment had truly arrived...

[You're so weak~]

As Ryunosuke was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a strange, complaining voice beside him.

"Lord 'God'?!"

Ryunosuke was overjoyed to hear the voice, but before he could compose himself, the voice in his ear made his smile freeze again:

[Ryunosuke, you're so weak~ so weak~ I'm already disappointed in you~]

Just one sentence caused a huge uproar in Ryunosuke's heart, even though he didn't feel any fear at all, and his body started to twist and turn.

"God, are you going to abandon me?!"

Because of Ryunosuke's struggles, the silver threads binding Ryunosuke were like sharp blades, cutting his body until it bled profusely, some even digging into Ryunosuke bones.

Ryunosuke's unusual movements naturally did not escape Irisviel's notice, but the extent of his struggles was somewhat beyond her expectations, and the silver threads binding Ryunosuke even showed signs of breaking free.

To reinforce the metal and maintain its binding, Irisviel had to continuously unleash all her magic.

Don't move! Whatever you do, don't move!

"God" quickly stopped the suicidal Ryunosuke, urging him not to act rashly:

I never said I was going to give up on you~

The "god's" advice was like a sacred decree to Ryunosuke. The moment the words fell into his ears, Ryunosuke immediately stopped all his movements, even though the silver thread had already made his cheeks turn blue and purple.

[Wow~ Ryunosuke- san, your conviction is really touching~]

The words of "God" echoed in Ryunosuke's ears, but the next sentence from "God" left him somewhat puzzled:

Well, seeing how sincere you are, now close your eyes and relax~

Although he didn't understand why "God" would make such a strange request, Ryunosuke had unwavering faith in "God," still closed his eyes as instructed.

The next second, Irisviel, one of only two people present, was surprised to find that Ryunosuke Uryu was radiating an aura of power.

--It suddenly changed.

By the way, I'd like to recommend a book~

A book featuring C-chan as the main character (that's why I recommend it).

Medea's Wanderings

Synopsis: You've become Medea, what should you do?

Nothing much to do, eat what you're supposed to eat, sleep what you're supposed to sleep, play what you're supposed to play.

After all, not every transmigrator has to be invincible and dominate the other world.

So what...

This is what a time traveler saw and heard;

This is the path of a philanthropic good person doing good deeds.

(Judging from the synopsis, he's pretty much like my main character, lol)

Chapter 111. A. Venger (More to come, probably in the early morning)
