It was a completely one-sided battle.
Mo Shuying, using the Saber card, gained the power of the legendary King Arthur. His immense magical energy could directly negate magic at close range, and though his hand appeared empty, he wielded an invisible sword!
"I'm done playing with you, Wind King Hammer!"
A powerful attack converted from the Wind King Barrier! A massive gust of wind blasted out, sweeping through and ending the fight in an instant.
"Cough, cough… he's too strong… Gray."
Tohsaka Rin, having been sent flying by a mere brush with the airflow, coughed violently. She struggled to turn her head and look at Gray, expecting her to do something, but…
"I'm so sorry!"
Gray was practically in tears! She desperately shook Add in her hand, but the thing just babbled, giving no response at all!
It's over!
These two words popped into Tohsaka Rin's head with a jolt. She lowered her head for a few seconds, then turned to look at Mo Shuying.
"Um… if I said we were just here to look around… would you believe me?"
She's giving in! Completely and utterly giving in!
Luvia at her side shot Tohsaka Rin a disdainful look, then buried her head, pretending she saw nothing.
"Hand over the last Class Card."
Mo Shuying extended his hand. He actually didn't want to make things difficult for these girls; after all, they weren't bad people, and he wasn't a demon.
"…Illya…"
Tohsaka Rin considered it, ultimately deciding that their safety came first. The Class Card, in essence, only determined whether they could become disciples of the Jewel Mage. If it required sacrificing others' lives, she was unwilling.
"I won't!"
However, Illya clutched a card and refused!
These past few days, Illya had recalled many things, many memories she hadn't experienced herself yet seemed to remember.
It was as if they were experiences from another world, a world where her guardian was Heracles!
"I won't let anyone have Berserker!"
"…"
Mo Shuying watched the young girl's stubborn expression, then walked towards Miyu.
"Miyu!"
"Scattershot!"
Miyu, almost out of combat strength, mustered all her might to unleash a magical scattershot, but these shots couldn't even penetrate Mo Shuying's magic resistance.
"*Slap!*"
Mo Shuying unceremoniously reached out and grabbed Miyu by the neck. His invisible sword materialized in his hand, placed before Miyu, and he looked at Illya, saying,
"Now what?"
"Miyu!!"
Illya was in agony. On one side was her best friend, on the other was Heracles. She couldn't abandon either.
Finally…
"Please let go of Miyu."
Illya struggled to her feet, reaching out to hand over the Berserker card.
"That's more like it. I told you girls already, don't get involved in such dangerous things. See? It's very dangerous."
Mo Shuying sheathed his sword, walked over, and took the card. Miyu was also released and set down.
"Illya…"
Miyu supported Illya, gratitude flickering in her eyes, but then whispered,
"You didn't have to… I could feel he didn't mean to hurt me."
Illya, looking downcast, glanced at Mo Shuying, then shook her head.
"I wouldn't risk it."
"Illya…"
Miyu's heart was completely filled with Illya at this moment. Mo Shuying saw this and pursed his lips. These little girls are already getting so competitive at such a young age; how will they turn out?
NOTIFICATION: All seven Class Cards obtained. Would you like to use the wish opportunity immediately?
The Voice of the World sounded in his ear, but Mo Shuying didn't use it right away.
"Let's wait a bit. The Holy Relic will be completed soon. I've been guarding this place for so long, there'll be a reward after the Holy Relic is finished. I'll wait to get the reward before deciding."
Mo Shuying put away the cards, glanced back at the girls, and casually tossed them a Life Potion.
"This is a healing potion. I held back, so your injuries shouldn't be serious. There's more than enough for a few of you to share. Drink it and then go home."
With that, Mo Shuying walked away without looking back.
The girls watched Mo Shuying disappear into the darkness, then gathered together.
"Oh no, we've lost everything! We used up so many gems earlier, now we're broke. Such a huge loss!"
Tohsaka Rin looked utterly dejected, as if her entire world had collapsed.
Luvia glanced at Gray, then hesitated before asking, "Gray, why did you... just now?"
Gray shook her head remorsefully. "It was Add. Add doesn't seem to be able to feel hostility towards him."
"..."
After Mo Shuying left, Add returned to normal. Hearing Gray mention him, Add pretended to cough and then said, "Ahem. It's like this: that guy just now used the power of my King, Arthur Pendragon. I cannot bare my fangs at my King."
"Arthur Pendragon! You're saying that person just now was King Arthur? That's impossible! Isn't King Arthur a woman?"
Luvia was incredulous. She had also collected some Heroic Spirit lore. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, King Arthur appeared as a valiant woman, similar to Black Saber.
"Install... He must have used a method similar to Install."
Miyu reminded them, holding a red potion in her hand.
"Miyu, what are you doing with that? Do you actually think something an enemy gives you is a healing potion?"
Luvia snatched the potion and cast a magical appraisal spell, then froze.
"Good stuff!"
If Luvia said it was good stuff, it must naturally be excellent.
"I'll try it first."
Luvia opened the bottle and took a sip. Immediately, a rich life force spread through her, and her minor injuries and lost stamina quickly recovered.
"The effect is so strong! You all should drink some too, it's safe."
Luvia handed the potion to Tohsaka Rin, who stiffly turned her head to look, and then her eyes lit up.
"Luvia, how much do you think this potion is worth? Can it make up for all my losses recently?"
Luvia gave her a roll of her eyes, then handed it to Miyu.
"Mm."
Miyu took it and drank a small amount, then passed it to Illya. Illya also seemed a bit dazed, took it, and drank a sip, which made Miyu's face flush.
Just as the girls were recovering their injuries and stamina, preparing to return...
*"Boom! Boom boom boom!!"*
The ground trembled. Suddenly, one thick beam of light after another shot up into the sky, seven in total, making the entire异空间 tremble.
"This is!"
"I don't know! Don't worry about that for now! Let's go! Get out of here!"
The five of them quickly ran up the mountain, but when they reached the summit, they saw nothing. The summit was empty, and there was no way back!
"Illya! Miyu!"
"Yes!"
The two Magical Girls simultaneously began to construct a teleportation channel, but it wasn't going smoothly. The magic in the entire space became very chaotic, and...
"No! It seems like someone is interfering with our localization!"
"The surrounding magic is berserk!"
Everyone's expressions changed. Tohsaka Rin thought of one person: Caster Mom!
"That woman! Damn her! I shouldn't have trusted her!"
Tohsaka Rin was furious. Just then!
"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~"
The melodious sound of 12 chimes gently rang out.
