Chapter 66: Reversal
"Bang!" A punch hit.
"Whew~" dodges sideways.
"Whoosh~" turned around and slashed a sword.
"Whew~" was dodged again.
"Teacher...... That's it! Kamiya stopped.
"Do you want to surrender? Upper Valley. Ge Mu's reply was still emotionless.
"The winner is decided." Kamiya turned around and pointed behind Katsumi.
"Boom Bang Bang Bang ~~~~" In front of Kamiya, the starlight sword dancing at the side of the Winter Maiden has forced the servant named Caster into a desperate situation, and the latter only has the ability to parry but has no power to fight back.
"Teacher, why do you keep fighting? I have the impression that you are serious, upright, meticulous, and honestly, you used to be my idol...... Now, are you really willing to fight for that 'universal wish machine' that is hard to distinguish between real and fake, and may even be a hoax at all? If there is such a thing, what is the world? Ueya, who was holding a sword in one hand, shouted at Katsuki.
"The next battle can be said to be meaningless!"
"I remember I once said......" Kazuki looked straight at Kamiya without wavering.
"I will not take any responsibility for your fight, and you will not be responsible for my life...... And ......" Kuzuki once again put on a stance.
"Not until the last minute...... Victory or defeat is always unknown. ”
"Bang!" Ge Mu's fist suddenly hit as fast as a bullet!
"Whew~" While dodging the line-changing attack, Kamiya swung his sword to counterattack.
The sword of "whoosh~~" was easily dodged by Ge Mu.
"You are used to double swords, and your balance still needs to be trained."
"Bang~" is another punch, and the fist changes like a snake.
"Or rather, the twin swords are meant to make up for your lack of balance."
"When~~bang~~~" punched the back of the sword, and the back of the sword bounced on the boy's shoulder, yes, this time the boy used the sword to defend and reduce the damage. In the face of a master like Soichiro Katsukidi, Ueya's sense of disobedience due to the lack of a sword was keenly discovered by his opponent.
"Defeat me...... Can you turn the tide of battle......" Ueya read what he meant from Katsuki-sensei's attack.
"Then ......" Ueya's eyes gradually sharpened, and his competitive spirit as a man was gradually stimulated.
"Whoosh~~~~" Several starlight swords slammed into Caster's defensive magic array.
"Impossible...... How is this possible! Caster was still in a state of shock.
"It is simply impossible to reduce matter to aether in such a short period of time and reconstitute it!"
"Bang bang bang!" There were three more blows on the defensive circle, and the fifth element, scattered outside the defensive circle, seemed to laugh at the ignorance of this god-generation magician.
"Chirp!" Dekong hit a counter-attack.
"Bang bang bang ~~~~" will be smashed to pieces immediately, and it will attract a more violent response.
"There must be somewhere...... Something must be wrong! Caster shouted inwardly.
"Whoosh~~~" once again constructed several starlight swords, and the Winter Maiden projected them all onto the enemy's defensive circle.
"I can't break it for a while...... However...... "My connection with the Holy Sword has been quite weak, and now the attack that seems to be very fierce has actually returned to the light.
"Boom!" The entire underground space of the Winterwood Church suddenly shook violently.
"Ahh When she came back to her senses, the brilliance of the holy sword in the girl's hand had completely dimmed, and the connection with the holy sword had been terminated early due to the momentary distraction just now, and now this seemingly mighty sword may not even be able to cut tofu in the girl's hand.
Caster, whose attack had stopped abruptly like a rainstorm, gradually came to his senses.
"Hehehe, ahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~haha
"You've managed to scare me, little girl~~~~~ Caster's face once again grimned.
"Philosopher's_Stone (Philosopher's Stone), what a bold idea, and you succeeded, and you can leave such a miracle before you disappear from this world, so to speak, you are worthy of your life."
"...................................." Illya stood there silently with her sword in hand.
"Illya?" Rin quickly ran to Illya's side, already holding the gem in her hand, ready to defend at any moment.
"You've noticed it yourself, haven't you...... It is not your universal stone that closes, but yourself. Miracles are still miracles, but you've been abandoned by miracles, little girl~~~~~~~~" Caster walked slowly towards Illya.
Indeed, restoring the elements that show individuality through extremes to the original is absolutely impossible to achieve in a small place like the Fuyuki Church, either in time, space, or magic.
Philosopher's s_Stone, it is the oldest, the most primordial part, it is the finger of God, it is the beginning of all creation, it is the foundation of eternal life, it is the beginning of the inevitable existence of the result.
It is with this knowledge that the Winter Maiden, who has been pursuing the method of eternal life, can reverse the starting point based on the result. But as the magician's servant said, the girl is not her original holder, and the power she uses, the starting point on which it is based, and the result it causes, all depend on the external objects in her hands. Once the miracle of the relic, which connects everything, is discarded, then everything she has created will disappear in an instant.
Illya's body trembled slightly, and she had recreated the alchemical miracle of nearly 4,000 years ago through her precise conception and absolute trust in him, and if she could absorb infinite power from the primordial beginning, then this decision would be basically equivalent to the power to restore the direction of matter. But whether it is her or the owner of the sword, they still have their own limits as human beings.
The servant in front of him is still alive, and this is the iron-clad reality at this moment.
"Unwilling? It's all caused a miracle but still hasn't worked? But this is the reality ~~~~ On the contrary, you should be proud that you left such a miracle before you disappeared. Caster stood in front of Rin and Illya.
"It's only a matter of time before that crooked guy gets cleaned up by my Master......"
"Bang!" Kamiya punched again, and Kazuki took advantage of Kamitani's imbalance and had the upper hand.
"It's almost time for our side to end up before that!" Caster raised his hand, and the magic began to gather in his hand.
At this moment, when Caster was in a big disaster and thought he was winning......
A loophole to exploit! That's what Rin has been waiting for!
"stark (No. 2) GroBZwei (Enhanced)"
The mantra of liberation was only a single sentence, and she leaned down and whispered with a smile on her face.
At that moment, the flashbang-like light shook Caster's eyes, and Rin naturally rushed straight over and beat Caster with an incomparably amazing momentum——!
"Bang!" Caster's chest was firmly struck by an inch, like a fake lady's fist.
"W-huh!?" Voices of pain rang out. Rina's "strengthened" fist, like Katsudagi, penetrated Caster's defenses more easily than expected.
"Woo-you, as a magician, actually beat people!" Caster couldn't understand Rin's actions.
"What a coincidence! For today's magicians, talisman is a must-have! ”
After an inch, Tosaka's body sank, his hands were on the ground, and he probably hadn't pinched Caster since he was a child, wondering why the enemy suddenly disappeared, and glanced down.
Underneath, Rin's legs are sweeping in! She spun around as she unleashed her sweeping legs, kicking Caster's feet with terrifying force——!
"Ah——!?h After a blow to the hall, Caster naturally collapsed with his back to the ground.
After sweeping her legs, Rin stood up and elbowed Caster in the back.
"Fly!" Stop the rotation of the body, step forward and aim at the waist with all your strength to make up a positive punch.
"Huh!" Caster was knocked flying.
Receiving a punch from Tosaka, Caster's body slammed into the broken pillar.
"Ahh......h
"Suffer death——! Pulling some distance, Caster was sent several meters away, and Tosaka kicked the ground in order to catch up with her.
The outcome was clear, Caster was unable to move, and it appeared that he had been mortally wounded, and the attack and defense of the two had only passed for a few seconds. Rin sped fast enough for Caster to deliver the decisive blow.
It was a "reinforcement" that was magically performed for a few seconds. From the beginning, Rin bets on the fight with Caster.
What Caster saw all the time was that Rin was just a magician. In order to create a gap so that the one-time surprise attack can be successful, Rin also wants to deliberately stage an unfavorable magic battle, and Illya's performance of true colors really saves her a lot of effort.
Just as she thought. Caster was deceived and completely defeated.
"That's it."
"Bang!" Suddenly, Kazuki knocked away the only sword left in Ueya's hand.
This man's athleticism is like a monster. If Rin rushing towards Caster is compared to a blast of wind, then Kazuki, who is rushing towards Rin at this moment, is a demonic wind.
"Huh?!" Rin seemed to feel the threat of death, and did not hesitate to protect the moment when her face jumped back.
"Bang!" Kazuki's fist slammed into Tosaka's face.
Rin covered her face with her hands and jumped back, her body bouncing off the ground.
"No......" Rin's hands drooped down as if they were broken, and Katsuki, who thought he would be defeated, stood in front of him at the moment.
"You have missed the opportunity to win, and you have not been able to take the enemy's life with four consecutive blows, which only shows that you are not mature." Ge Mu said calmly.
"Heh" Caster's consciousness finally returned.
"Thank you very much, Master. If it weren't for you, I would have been defeated. ”
"Polite words are avoided. Now hurry up and wake up Saber, it seems that they are not an opponent to be taken lightly. Ge Mu still gave the order without emotion.
"Well, that's a wise judgment, Master." Caster is about to cast a spell.
"Wuld (Whirlwind) Nah (Rage) Kest (Tempest)!" The incomprehensible sound remains in the wind.
"Puff ......" A short sword pierced into the human body.
In an instant, time seems to freeze.
"Tick" a drop of blood dripped down the blade of the sword and fell to the ground.
"That's fast...... Uetani ...... "Kazuki's voice was calm.
There was no response to the "..............................".
"As a student who is not a master, I actually brought three swords, which is my mistake." Kazuki's calm voice grew weaker.
"Being calm, being upright, being meticulous at all times, these are qualities that I don't have, and I used to ...... I adore you very much. There was a hint of unbearability in Kamiya's voice.
"Yes......" Katsugi's response was simple.
"Finally, you taught me...... Until the last minute, the outcome is always unknown......"
"Poof!" The boy afterburned, and the short sword pierced through Katsuki's body.
"Plop" this people's teacher who always remained calm, upright, and meticulous fell.
"So, let's be the last one, Katsuragi-sensei."
With a "snort", the boy drew his short sword.
"Azoth sword? How did you have this sword? Rin exclaimed.
"It's just on the desk in the library, you said let me feel free, so I thought it looked good and put it away, you won't ......use it anyway," the boy shook off the blood stuck to the blade of the sword, and suddenly noticed that his hand was shaking uncontrollably.
"Although the mind tries to stay calm, is it still the case with human instinct......" Looking at his trembling hands, Kamiya had mixed feelings in his heart.
Katsukidi-sensei is dead...... He fell on the path he had chosen, and was turned to dust, one day...... Will I be like him...... Such...... Does it really make sense?
