Just as she eagerly tried to give it a go, the rapidly draining mana and the agonizing pain in her Magic Circuits from mana flowing too quickly reminded her that she was still far from capable of replicating a Servant.

Her entire body being made of Magic Circuits only meant that her mana absorption and output speeds had reached the limit. It had little to do with her total mana reserves.

Otherwise, Justeaze would not have needed to borrow the power of Fuyuki City's ley lines; she could have granted any number of wishes herself.

"It's fine. When the time comes to make a wish, I can choose to strengthen my body. That would increase my lifespan and give my body a higher mana capacity... For now, I should see what other Magic Eyes there are!"

With the Dress of Heaven, knowledge of the plot, and now Magic Eyes as well, Su Ning could not help but consider what wish she should make after winning.

After circling the Treasury once more, Su Ning found another five pairs of Magic Eyes.

Petrification Magic Eye: Could petrify any living creature within sight.

Binding Magic Eye: Could create a mana restraint to trap a target.

Emotion Magic Eye: Could see through changes in a target's emotions.

Charm Magic Eye: Could control another person's thoughts and will through eye contact.

"This Charm Magic Eye... could it be Jewel-grade?"

Although she did not know its exact grade, she could clearly sense during projection that projecting the Charm Mystic Eye consumed far more mana than the other Magic Eyes.

Magic Eyes were divided into four grades: ordinary, gold, jewel, and rainbow.

Based on the prices in Chronicle of Lord El-Melloi II from the parallel world, it was unlikely that the Treasury would contain ordinary-grade Magic Eyes. The Charm Magic Eye was probably a Jewel-grade Magic Eye.

"What a shame there's no one here to test it on..."

"Miss, the car and luggage are ready."

"Alright, I'm coming!"

Although the flight to Fuyuki City would not depart until tomorrow, Su Ning truly did not want to remain in the lifeless Winter Castle any longer.

More than ten minutes later, the vintage car slowly vanished into the night along the only road leading out.

At the same time Su Ning left the Winter Castle, a young, strong male body suddenly snapped its eyes open inside the Homunculus Workshop beside the Treasury, a place Illya herself had no authority to enter.

The Einzbern family's magical attribute was "flow." Not only could mana flow freely, but so could souls and consciousness.

Although Acht could not split into countless worm bodies at once like Zouken Matou, he could transfer his soul back and forth between prepared backup bodies.

Heracles's attacks had only been physical. They had destroyed his body, but not his soul.

Although Su Ning had immediately cast several more Great Fireballs, she had still been slightly too late.

Of course, if she had possessed the Insight Magic Eye at the time, she could have directly seen Acht's soul launching its attack. Unfortunately, she had not yet acquired Magic Eyes then.

"What happened to Illya? Why did she suddenly attack me? There shouldn't have been any trace of what I did left in the castle..."

Acht was utterly baffled.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he could never have imagined that Illya had already become someone else.

"Forget it. As long as she can continue participating in the Holy Grail War..."

After fully adapting to his new body, Acht leaped out of the Nutrient Tank. After thinking for a moment, he walked toward another Nutrient Tank standing alone in a corner. Inside was a pink-haired girl whose features were almost identical to Illya's, except that her skin was darker.
