Of Course, You Have to Have Them All When They're Kids

"Mordred—"

"Got it!"

Without needing Illya's reminder, Mordred had already raised the Royal Sword high after slaying Medusa.

"Take this! This is the cursed sword that shall destroy my king—rebel against my magnificent father!"

Crimson lightning gathered into a pillar of light that reached from heaven to earth, blasting toward Medea.

Zouken Matou already knew he probably could not stop it this time, but he still ordered Sakura Matou to control the Black Shadow and form a wall of shields before the pillar of light, hoping to give it a try.

Red and black, light and darkness, collided soundlessly and fell into a stalemate.

Everyone watched the clash between light and darkness. Would this A+-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm prove superior, or would the mysterious Black Shadow be stronger?

Only Illya looked strangely at Artoria not far away.

She was genuinely curious what Artoria's reaction would be upon hearing Mordred's Noble Phantasm activation chant.

In the end, Artoria remained expressionless, as if she had not heard it at all.

Illya could not help feeling deeply disappointed.

Of course children wanted them all

Meanwhile, the contest between the Noble Phantasm and the Black Shadow finally reached its conclusion—Mordred's Noble Phantasm had come out on top.

The Black Shadow's devouring power could not completely offset the energy impact unleashed by an A+-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. It shattered, and the remaining crimson lightning continued blasting toward Medea.

"Teleportation—"

Medea decisively used Teleportation during the delay bought by the Black Shadow, but that could not change the outcome of her defeat and death.

"Projection! Spiral Sword—"

"Hyakume!"

Red A projected a Spiral Sword, while Heracles unleashed Hyakume once more. Through Mind's Eye, both of them detected Medea's position immediately, but it was difficult for the Black Shadow to keep up.

"Boom—"

Nine stone arrows as thick as spears, along with a pseudo-Spiral Sword, instantly pierced Medea's body and tore her into pieces.

But it was not over yet. The moment the Spiral Sword pierced Medea's body, Red A also activated Broken Phantasm, causing it to collapse and explode. This time, not even a trace of ash remained of Medea.

"That was way too ruthless... I like it!"

Illya's gaze did not relax. Although they had successfully killed Medea, and Medusa as well, they had not obtained their Heroic Spirit Souls, so they had not truly won yet.

"Come here!"

The powerful suction enhanced by the Dress of Heaven pulled the two Heroic Spirit Souls toward her.

But that old bug, Zouken Matou, would not just stand by and watch. As long as he had Heroic Spirit Souls and enough magical energy, he could use the power of the Lesser Grail to create Heroic Spirit Puppets without limit!

Zouken Matou directly abandoned his attacks on Heracles and Artoria, ordering Sakura Matou to gather all the Black Shadow into two enormous hands that grabbed at the two Heroic Spirit Souls. For a moment, their power actually surpassed the Dress of Heaven's pull on the Heroic Spirit Souls.

"Sakura Matou hasn't even devoured Golden Flash at this point. How could she have such immense power? This makes no sense..."
