Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

"Why aren't we following Cú Chulainn, or Archer? Why are we tailing this guy?"

"You'll find out soon enough~"

The Cú Chulainn who had just retreated learned from Kirei Kotomine's controlled familiar that Shirou Emiya hadn't died, and promptly gave chase again.

Su Ning strongly suspected this was Kirei Kotomine's way of getting back at Kiritsugu Emiya.

On the other side, Rin Tohsaka, who had just returned home, suddenly realized the same thing and rushed off to the Emiya residence in a hurry.

But Su Ning arrived there faster than she did.

"This... this is... a Servant Summoning?"

"That's right!"

"But sis, don't you need to chant an incantation for a Servant Summoning?"

"Heh, incantations, Holy Relics—those are just a formality. All you really need are the inscribed runes and a Command Spell. This warehouse already had summoning runes left behind by someone long ago. As for the Command Spell... didn't he just obtain one?"

A fierce will to survive is also a wish. The Greater Holy Grail answered him.

"The Seventh Servant—!"

Cú Chulainn hastily blocked the sudden attack, then cautiously chose to retreat.

But when Mordred saw this newly appeared Servant, she charged straight at her like a rampaging Primordial Beast.

"Ar!thur! King!"

Artoria, who had just forced Cú Chulainn back and hadn't even had time to deliver her opening lines to Shirou, had her identity called out.

More critically, that voice was all too familiar to her!

"Mordred?!"

Artoria's whole body jolted. Watching Mordred approach like a comet, she swung the Sword of Promised Victory with all her might.

"Clang—"

For an instant, time itself seemed to freeze.

The next moment, the entire Emiya residence was leveled by the violent shockwave, and even Cú Chulainn was forced back to a safe distance several dozen meters away.

Only Shirou Emiya, because he was behind Artoria, narrowly escaped being torn to shreds.

"Hahaha—"

"Is this fate?"

"This time, I will defeat you! King Arthur! I'll make you see! I am the true king—!"

The Wind King Barrier was instantly shredded. Artoria had no choice but to reveal the true form of Excalibur. Crimson lightning and golden flames clashed endlessly, dyeing the pitch-black night sky into two colors: red and gold.

"King Arthur and Mordred?"

"Now this is a truly fated showdown~"

"But... the legendary King Arthur is a woman... a girl?"
