Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

But when she couldn't wait to try it out, the rapidly draining mana and the Magic Circuits screaming in pain from the torrent of energy reminded her—she was still far from being able to replicate a Servant.

Her entire body being made of Magic Circuits only meant her mana absorption and output speed were maxed out; it had little to do with her total mana capacity.

Otherwise, Justeaze wouldn't have needed to borrow the leyline power of Fuyuki City—she could have just granted any wish she wanted on her own.

"It's fine. When I make my wish, I can choose to strengthen my body. That way, I'll both extend my lifespan and raise my mana cap... For now, let's see what other Mystic Eyes I've got!"

With the Dress of Heaven, full knowledge of the plot, and now Mystic Eyes on top of that, Su Ning couldn't help but start thinking about what wish she'd make after winning.

Spinning through the Treasury once more, Su Ning found five more pairs of Mystic Eyes.

Petrification Magic Eye: can petrify any living thing it gazes upon;

Binding Magic Eye: can create a mana bind to trap a target;

Emotion Magic Eye: can read the emotional shifts of a target;

Charm Magic Eye: can control a target's thoughts and will through eye contact;

"Is this Charm Magic Eye... Jewel-grade?"

She couldn't pinpoint the exact rank, but when she projected it, she could clearly feel that projecting the Charm Mystic Eye consumed far more mana than the others.

Mystic Eyes were divided into four grades: Normal, Gold, Jewel, and Rainbow.

Going by the prices in the parallel world's Chronicle of Lord El-Melloi II, the Treasury was unlikely to store Normal-grade Mystic Eyes, so the Charm Magic Eye should be Jewel-grade.

"Too bad there's no one to test it on..."

"Miss, the car and luggage are ready."

"Good, I'll be right there!"

Though the flight to Fuyuki City wasn't until tomorrow, Su Ning really didn't want to stay a second longer in this lifeless Winter Castle.

A dozen minutes later, the vintage antique car rolled down the only road leading out, slowly vanishing into the night.

And just as Su Ning left the Winter Castle, in the Homunculus Workshop next to the Treasury—a place Illya had no permission to enter—a young, strong male body suddenly snapped its eyes open.

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

Acht couldn't split himself into countless insect bodies like Zouken Matou, but he could transfer his soul back and forth between prepared backup bodies.

Heracles' attack was purely physical; it killed his body but couldn't kill his soul.

Su Ning immediately fired off several more Great Fireballs, but she was still a step too late.

Of course, if she'd had the Insight Magic Eye back then, she could have directly attacked Acht's soul. Unfortunately, she didn't have Mystic Eyes yet.

"What's gotten into Illya? Attacking me all of a sudden? I made sure to leave no trace in the castle..."

Acht was full of question marks.

But no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't imagine that the Illya of now had long since been swapped out.

"Whatever. As long as she can still participate in the Holy Grail War..."

Fully adapted to his new body, Acht leaped out of the Nutrient Tank. After a moment's thought, he walked over to another tank standing alone in the corner. Inside was a pink-haired girl whose features were almost identical to Illya's, except her skin was darker.
