The moment Mo Shuying stepped onto this unfamiliar land, he was instantly awestruck by the sight before him.
Countless golden lights shimmered in the sky, like burning suns, and three figures were locked in an intense battle high above.
Two of them were small girls, appearing to be elementary school age based on their height and build, but their combat power was incredibly formidable.
The two girls wore outfits reminiscent of magical girls, wielding wands—one pink, one blue. They were ganging up on a woman radiating golden light. The woman held a golden zen staff and gracefully dodged attacks while standing on auspicious clouds, a faint smile even playing on her lips.
Unable to land a hit after a prolonged assault, the two girls exchanged a glance and immediately split, flanking her! Powerful magical energy burst from their wands! What followed were immensely powerful magic projectiles!
"Maximum power! Sniping!"
"Bombardment!"
*Boom! Boom!*
Two magic cannons, one pink and one blue, intersected, shattering many of the golden orbs in the sky, but the beautiful figure holding the zen staff remained completely unfazed.
Tsk! She's too hard to deal with! She's supposed to be a Caster! Why is she as agile as an Assassin? Is she a loach or something?!
The two warring parties were high above Fuyuki Bridge, and on the flat ground below the bridge stood two more people: one with black hair and twin tails, and another with golden drill-like curls.
Mo Shuying felt a surge of excitement seeing these individuals.
He knew all of them, or rather, was familiar with them. The two below the bridge were the leg-goddess Tohsaka Rin, and Luviagelita Edelfelt, known for her golden drills, a rich but somewhat naive young lady.
As for the three fighting in the air, the two girls were Illyasviel and Miyu Emiya, also known as Miyu Sakatsuki—both young ladies of extraordinary origins.
And the Heroic Spirit dodging attacks with the zen staff was none other than the famous Journey to the West Practitioner, Xuanzang Sanzang. That's right, the renowned Tang Sanzang was a woman, and a beautiful one with an amazing figure at that!
It's no wonder those monsters on the Journey to the West wanted to eat Tang Sanzang's flesh; they were all perverts. Who knows if they really just wanted to eat meat, or if they wanted to eat meat!
Mo Shuying actually had some impression of the scene before him. He had watched the anime Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya and still remembered some of its plot. Something about this scene, however, seemed off.
Just now, Tohsaka Rin had called out "Caster," which meant Sanzang was a Caster-class Servant guarding this place. In the original story, the one guarding this place should have been Caster Mom. It seemed everything had changed.
Could it be because of me, this butterfly?
Mo Shuying understood the butterfly effect. If his appearance had changed all of this, then...
What could they do to him!
Mo Shuying suddenly felt smug. The feeling of changing the world all by himself was truly wonderful!
He fully activated Presence Concealment and hid to the side, quietly observing the battle. This was Mo Shuying's first time witnessing Heroic Spirit combat up close; it was far, far more exciting than anything he'd seen on a screen before.
The aerial battle continued, but the two young girls seemed to be getting tired, their attacks slowing down.
Yet, Xuanzang Sanzang still smiled, her left hand forming a lotus mudra, exuding a compassionate aura of universal salvation.
However, Xuanzang Sanzang's state didn't last, because...
*Buzz!*
A massive blue magic circle subtly unfolded behind her!
As Xuanzang Sanzang realized it and tried to escape, a binding force surged, trapping her in the air! The next second!
"Haha! Got you, you slippery loach! Take this!"
The instigators, Tohsaka Rin and Luviagelita, leaped high, a triumphant smirk on their faces. Both had various colored gems clutched between their fingers! With a burst of magical energy, they violently threw them at Xuanzang Sanzang!
"Five consecutive Wind Blasts!"
"Seven consecutive Inferno Blasts!"
*Boom boom boom boom boom!*
Instantly, a tornado and explosions enveloped Xuanzang Sanzang, forming a giant fiery vortex around her.
"Did... did it work?!"
Illyasviel called out from above, while the Ruby in her hand chuckled playfully.
"Hehehe~ These two actually came in handy at the crucial moment~ Not bad, not bad."
At the same time, Tohsaka Rin and Luviagelita started bickering.
"What was that five-shot nonsense just now?! You're still holding back at a time like this! Something's wrong with you!"
Luviagelita scoffed, and Tohsaka Rin, blushing, yelled back.
"Urusai, urusai! Do you think everyone's a thoughtless rich girl like you?! My gems are very precious!"
Poor Tohsaka Rin, a fallen noble. Once a prominent figure in the magecraft world, she now had to live frugally. Her gem magecraft was also one of the most expensive forms of magecraft, and because of this thrifty habit, Luviagelita often mocked her as a "poor mage."
"Uh, hehehe…"
Watching the two adults argue like children, Illyasviel scratched her cheek awkwardly, about to say something.
Suddenly!
"Illya, watch out!"
Miyu, standing beside her, suddenly pushed Illyasviel away! Illyasviel turned back, only to see a long staff extend infinitely! It struck Miyu's waist, sending her flying!
"Miyu!"
Illyasviel shrieked, and Tohsaka Rin and Luviagelita also realized something was wrong! The swirling fiery tornado suddenly burst apart! Five Xuanzang Sanzangs stood in mid-air, holding a staff, a rake, and a monastic staff—all five looked exactly alike!
"What?! Clones? Retreat!"
Tohsaka Rin immediately jumped back to create distance, then saw four of the Sanzang clones transform into four golden streaks, heading straight for the four people present!
"Damn it! Isn't winning against overwhelming odds our specialty? You're cheating!"
Tohsaka Rin was chased by the rake-wielding Sanzang, scrambling with her head in her hands, and the other three were also in a sorry state. Miyu was injured by a sneak attack, and Illyasviel, blocking the Sanzang clone chasing Miyu, was completely overwhelmed, fighting two against one.
As the situation seemed to be turning dire, Mo Shuying watched with great interest.
"Woah~ This Sanzang is incredible. If Tang Sanzang from Journey to the West was like this, then Pigsy definitely wouldn't be constantly asking to split the family assets. If the master was in trouble, he'd surely be the first to act. Wait… if Tang Sanzang was really this powerful? Were Sun Wukong and the others protecting Tang Sanzang or trying to rein her in? Emmm"
Just as Mo Shuying was lost in thought.
"Om~"
The original Sanzang raised her hand in a lotus mudra, and boundless Buddhist light unfolded behind her, as if a colossal Buddha phantom was manifesting.
Sanzang chanted scriptures rapidly, muttering incantations. The Buddhist light illuminated the earth, and the giant Buddha raised its hand! Preparing to perform a palm technique descending from the heavens!
Five Elements Mountain! Buddha's Palm of Shakyamuni!
It was none other than the Journey to the West Practitioner Sanzang's Noble Phantasm!
This palm strike! It would show the world! Even Buddha has wrath!!
"No good! Illyasviel! Open the gate, quickly evacuate!"
Tohsaka Rin shouted, but she also knew it was too late.
Just as the giant Buddha's hand was about to descend!
Suddenly!
"*Boom!!*"
A black sword energy, piercing the sky, shot upwards! It struck the back of the giant Buddha, penetrating it, much to Sanzang's astonished expression! Then, it annihilated Sanzang!
As the black light dissipated, a card floated down from the sky.
