Chapter 92: It's a little cold
Ethan posed for a moment, then silently withdrew his fist.
Looking at Skaha, who was lying motionless on the ground, he pursed his lips helplessly.
"The one over there, you don't have to be too excited, I didn't take a heavy hand, your master was just a little injured. β
CΓΊ Chulainn embarrassed put the spear back on his shoulder, he did have the urge to shoot at that moment, even if the difference in strength between Ethan and him was so big that he might not even be able to hurt a single hair, but he couldn't watch his master being killed and be indifferent.
Unexpectedly, Ethan didn't kill Skaha directly, which surprised him a little.
"Yo, do you have a crush on my master? Although she is very picky about men, you should meet her requirements. β
"It's just just in time that I ran out of energy. β
The Lushan Hundred Dragons just now looked amazing, but the actual effect was not very good, Ethan found that not only was his mental power weakened, but his own magic power had also lost a lot, and his ability to use energy had dropped to the lowest point in history - except for the time when he had not become a full-fledged mage, he had not been so weak for a long time.
"Distorting the rules of a world...... Sure enough, it was not an easy task. β
Although the Libra Holy Clothes restored his physical fitness a little, allowing him to recover a certain amount of combat effectiveness in a short period of time, it also accelerated the 'aging' phenomenon that he had just contained, and most of the vitality that had been replenished into the body before was consumed again, and now the Libra Holy Clothes can only barely maintain his physical peak, if he continues to use his magic power uncontrollably to perform powerful magic, then the Libra Holy Clothes will not be able to continue to maintain his physical state.
After all, it takes energy to maintain and strengthen the body of Libra, and the energy balance in Ethan's body has fallen into a state of chaos, and he needs a period of time to recuperate and recover.
It wasn't that he had no way to solve this problem immediately, but when he cast that spell and put his body into the current bad situation, he unexpectedly discovered a situation, which made him not rush to heal, but chose to stabilize the situation first.
"Anyway, the immediate trouble has been solved. β
Although his own move didn't kill Skaha, it was a victory or defeat in this battle.
As the queen of the Shadow Country, now that the winner has been clearly decided, she will not continue to fight with Ethan to the death.
So Skaha won't be a problem anymore, and the only one who can be called a trouble is Madeleine.
"Is there anything else you'd like to do?"
Madeleine watched as Skaha was using the Rune Magic to heal herself, and it was obvious that she would not continue to do so, she knew that the battle was over.
"It's a shame that I haven't seen enough...... Or can I call the other powerful Heroes of this world, as if there is one not far from here, who will surely be unhappy with what you have done before. β
"I'm not interested in continuing to play with you. β
If Madeleine still wants to rely on the heroic spirits of this world to disgust herself, then Ethan will choose to leave directly...... Then come back to the field when you recover.
He didn't leave immediately because he wasn't in a good state right now, and something might happen to the teleportation at this time.
Madeleine didn't want to completely turn her face with Ethan, and she simply admitted her defeat.
"This time you won, and as promised, the world is yours. β
"Wait. Ethan frowned, and he wondered if Madeleine was going to play some kind of conspiracy again: "As I said, I'm not interested in betting with you. β
"Whether you want to accept it or not, this world is yours, and I won't take it back......" Madeleine's doppelganger projection can move like teleportation freely, appearing in front of Ethan while speaking, and stretching out his hand to brush Ethan's holy clothes: "Or...... You can take this as a deposit. β
"There's no way I'm going to accept your 'invitation'. β
"Don't say it so absolutely......" Madeleine leaned gently to Ethan, whispering in his ear, "I await the day when you kneel before me and kiss my toes in your allegiance to me." β
"Even in your dreams, that day will not appear. β
The energy on her body suddenly exploded, and the strong energy directly blew Madeleine's doppelganger projection into collapse, leaving only Madeleine's laughter echoing in the air, but it soon disappeared completely.
"Tsk, waste my magic!"
With this burst of energy, the Libra Holy Clothes could not continue to maintain his appearance, Ethan's appearance began to age again, and as Ethan lifted the Libra Holy Clothes, he also quickly became a seventy-year-old man, and his hair completely turned white.
Ethan put a water mirror, looked at himself in the mirror and smiled bitterly speechlessly: "I'm a handful of beards compared to Merlin now." β
"You just exerted your peak strength?"
Skaha has already stood up, she is infinitely close to the gods, whether it is her ability to resist beatings or her resilience, she has long surpassed ordinary people or even ordinary heroic spirits, Ethan's move just now just hit her and she couldn't act for a while, so her kung fu has eased up.
Considering that she was beaten just now and completely lost her ability to resist, it would be easy for the other party to kill herself, so she lost this battle very completely.
"I don't know. β
"Don't know?"
"Because I've never fought with all my might. β
Ethan's strength has been growing rapidly, and it's been a long time since he's used all his strength to fight. The closest he came to fighting Iago was supposed to be the one he fought against, but with the power of the Space Gem, he fought with ease.
On the contrary, this time, in order to solve his connection with the world, he used tricks beyond his current level, which caused him to be affected a lot.
"I'm looking forward to your ability to regain your full strength sooner, in that case...... I will definitely be able to fulfill my wish. β
"At that time...... What other reason do you have to fight me?"
Skaha won't fight people without a suitable reason, and the Shadow Nation reason she used this time, and she usually won't use it a second time.
But it didn't bother the queen, who didn't know how long she had lived, just as she had done in the past when she saw the target she wanted to fight.
"Why...... It's easy to find one. β
Ethan shook his head, but didn't answer, anyway, he didn't know what kind of world he was in at that time, and Skaha wanted to fulfill her wish to die in battle, provided that he could find himself.
Instead of looking at Skaha, who was rubbing his snow-white belly, and Cuchulainn, who was catching up with her, Ethan looked to Illya.
Illya didn't know when she had woken up, because her body had become weak and her full attention had been on the battle and Madeleine, and she didn't have the energy to focus on her surroundings.
Seeing that Illya was covered in blood, but standing there with great spirits, her 'transformation' should have been successfully completed.
"Congratulations, you've become a real human. β
Illya was stunned, and seemed to have noticed the changes in her body: she couldn't feel the surging magic power in her body at all, and all the magic circuits on her body had disappeared, and the spell that she should have had was gone.
The connection with Ethan that could be clearly felt before had also disappeared, and Illya, who had lost everything, felt relieved.
"I see...... But it doesn't matter...... Anyway...... I don't have much time left. β
"What a stupid thing to say. Ethan reached out and rubbed Illya's hair, her hat had long been dropped to the side, and she never picked it up: "You didn't have much life left because of your special physique, but now you have become a real human being, and your lifespan has returned to a normal level...... At your current physical age, you have at least a few decades to live. β
The conversation between the two people did not deliberately lower their voices, so everyone could hear it, and Emiya Shirou only knew at this time that this girl, who looked like she was only a little over ten years old, would not live long.
From this point of view, Ethan seems to have done a good thing?
"I'm not going to die?"
"As long as you don't want to die. β
Illya still couldn't react a little, looking at her dirty little hands blankly, and when she was in a daze, Ethan in front of her gently read out a few mysterious characters, and then she was refreshed, and the stains on her body were swept away, and even her clothes looked like they had just been washed and dried.
"Whew...... Such a small spell needs to be chanted to be used, and the strength continues to weaken. β
Ethan originally wanted to restore Emiya's house to its original state, but considering the current state, it would be better to save some effort.
To his surprise, the Wei Gong Mansion, which had become almost as ruins as quickly as it had been after continuous battles, slowly returned to its original state under the gaze of everyone.
"Is this what you did?"
Rin Tosaka watched curiously as everything seemed to 'turn upside down' back to its original state, even the previously destroyed warehouse, as well as the door and glass that Emiya Shirou himself had smashed back to its original state, as if nothing had happened, this kind of magical scene was not unusual for magicians, but it was still shocking that such a 'large-scale' happened.
Ethan didn't speak, it certainly wasn't what he did, it was clearly Madeleine's doing.
"Is this the hope that I will stay in this world to cultivate?"
Ethan won't be leaving anytime soon, and he's going to have to stabilize his situation before leaving, so as to avoid teleportation errors.
And although Madeleine has 'intentions' for herself, she seems to have her own principles, so it is not a situation where she has to leave.
"Basaka. β
Illya, who had lost the protection of her magic and finally realized that she had become a real human, suddenly interrupted Ethan, who was thinking.
"Feeling...... It's a little cold......"
