Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

The speed of the slash already exceeded the rate at which the chains could disperse the force. Though Medusa dodged the vital point at the last moment, a horrific wound dozens of centimeters long was left on her body.

Even the rooftop beneath their feet was torn open with a gully over ten meters long from the aftermath of the strike!

"I'm completely outmatched in close combat!"

Medusa realized at once that she was no match for Mordred in melee; only by creating distance could she have a sliver of hope.

But she also knew that Mordred would never let her pull away so easily.

So—

"Petrification Magic Eye!"

The purple eye-cover split apart from the middle on its own. Medusa couldn't wait for Matou Shinji's command and activated her Petrification Magic Eye at full speed.

"Crack, crack, crack—"

Petrification rapidly spread across Mordred's body, but she ignored it entirely, continuing her pursuit of Medusa without giving her any chance to break free.

"I've suddenly realized... that Mordred might have pretty good compatibility with the Berserker class too..."

Su Ning's expression was very relaxed.

Because Mordred's seemingly reckless behavior was actually the most correct choice she could make right now.

"Idiot! Use the Command Spell already—!"

Medusa was almost frantic at this point.

The power of the Petrification Magic Eye ultimately fell within the realm of magecraft, subject to the influence of the Magic Resistance attribute.

Mordred was the Son of King Arthur, possessing the same Dragon Factor as King Arthur, with a Magic Resistance rank as high as B. Even enduring the Petrification Magic Eye head-on, she could hold out for a long time. Meanwhile, Medusa herself could only last another ten or so seconds before Mordred cut her down.

So her only chance of survival no longer lay in her own hands, but in Matou Shinji's.

"Damn it! Rider! Kill her—!"

Matou Shinji's performance was actually a bit better than Su Ning had originally imagined, but he didn't choose the optimal strategy of using a Command Spell to forcibly teleport and retreat. Instead, he used the Command Spell to enhance Medusa's attributes.

Still, at least this way, things wouldn't collapse immediately.

"It's Servants fighting!"

"One is Saber, and the other is... Assassin?"

"That Matou Shinji guy is actually a Master too?"

Two figures appeared on the other side of the school building—Red A and Rin Tohsaka, who had skipped class to spend the day familiarizing themselves with Fuyuki City's layout.

"Strange, didn't Kirei Kotomine tell me that Saber hadn't manifested yet? Was she just summoned this afternoon?" Rin muttered quietly to herself.

Having failed to summon the strongest class, she—always proud of herself—had been nursing a bit of resentment.

Chapter 10: You Use Your Noble Phantasm Too

"Ahem, Master, I don't want to interrupt you, but I have to say, now is a good time to make a move..." Red A suggested with a deadpan expression.

Mordred and Medusa—or more precisely, Matou Shinji—had already started fighting for real.
