Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Su Ning.
In Artoria and Rin Tohsaka's routes, Illya didn't have the Dress of Heaven, but in Sakura Matou's route, Illya ultimately brought out the Dress of Heaven and sacrificed herself to purify All the World's Evil. This Dress of Heaven definitely wasn't something she stole—it could only have been given to her by Acht to boost her strength.
"But... you think just handing over the Dress of Heaven willingly means I won't kill you? Dream on!"
Su Ning directly put the Dress of Heaven on, looked at herself in the mirror, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face. Then... she snapped her fingers with flair.
"Berserker! Go kill this old monster for me!"
The Einzbern Castle, after over two thousand years of preparation, would take even a Clock Tower [Color Aspect] magus considerable time to break into—but Heracles was right inside the castle! And as a spiritualized Servant, he was immune to physical attacks while moving at incredible speed, several times the speed of sound.
Almost the moment her finger snap finished, Heracles' overwhelmingly massive form had already appeared behind Acht, swinging his sword down at him.
Acht was undoubtedly dumbfounded.
Sure, he had driven Illya's mother to her death, killed Illya's father, modified Illya's body to limit her lifespan, and more importantly, prevented Illya from learning. But he thought he hadn't shown any cracks at all. In fact, under his brainwashing, Illya even believed Kiritsugu Emiya had deliberately abandoned her, to the point she wished she could kill Kiritsugu Emiya herself again.
Who would have thought Illya would suddenly strike?
Acht: Young people have no martial virtue! Ah~ah!
"Boom!"
The marble floor, reinforced countless times by magic, was blasted into a huge crater. The struck Acht was cleaved cleanly in two.
An ordinary person would definitely be dead by now, but Acht was a magus who had lived for several hundred years. So, just to be safe, Su Ning immediately set a fire.
Massive fireballs, each over a meter in diameter, slammed into Acht's corpse one after another. The thousand-degree heat instantly charred it to cinders, then blasted it into ash.
"He should be good and dead by now, right?"
Chapter 4: I, Projection Magic Eye
Nothing a fireball can't handle. If there is, just throw four more fireballs.
But caution never hurts, so Su Ning remained on high alert, with Heracles summoned before her, ready to act at any moment.
One minute passed. Five minutes passed. Ten minutes passed.
No movement at all.
Su Ning finally relaxed.
"Clean this place up, then prepare the car and luggage. We'll set off right away."
"Yes, young miss!"
Whether it was Sella and Riesbyfe or the two other maids in the room, aside from a brief flicker of shock at the start, they made no further move. They were homunculi—though possessing intelligence comparable to humans, they still had to follow commands and act according to their programming. In their settings, both Illya and Acht were existences of higher rank than them. If Acht had given an order, they would certainly have attacked Illya. But since Acht didn't speak, they had to abide by their programming and could not harm Illya. So they could only stand by and watch.
