Because of the defensive barrier, Sajo Ayaka was not seriously injured, but the broken tree trunk pressed on her body, making it impossible for her to break free.
"Master——!"
Seeing Ayaka Sajo being knocked away, Lily subconsciously wanted to help, but how could Cu Chulainn let her do so easily? The mysterious magic gun stopped her and made her focus here.
"Aha--!"
Lily took a deep breath, and she also realized that she would not be able to help Sayō Ayaka if she did not deal with the opponent in front of her.
The dragon's heart began to beat violently, and the majestic magic power flowed into the body along with the beating of the heart, and the invisible hurricane swayed around her with her as the center.
【Magic Release】
The all-round qualities of her body were greatly enhanced by the blessing of magic. The world seemed to slow down in her eyes, and the magic gun that originally required intuition to deal with it could clearly capture the trajectory.
However, this state cannot last long. Although the Dragon's Heart can provide most of the magic power, it still has to draw a small part from the Master, Sajo Ayaka.
This is her characteristic as a Servant. If she came to the world with a real body, releasing such a level of magic power would be nothing at all, and it would not be difficult for her to stay on her body permanently.
"Oh——? It seems to have become more powerful."
Cu Chulainn keenly noticed that Lily's speed and strength had changed. Lily's strength on paper now should have surpassed him.
But that's all.
Strength, speed and skill are the three things that a warrior needs to survive. Although Lily's strength and speed exceed her own, in terms of skill, the release of magic power cannot make up for this gap.
"Hahaha, keep working harder. Only then can you be regarded as a hero who has left his name in human history. The weak swordsmanship before was really hard to get people excited!"
………
………
【strengthen】
Sajo Ayaka recited the incantation in a low voice, and saw blue veins spreading on her limbs. The strength of her body was strengthened, and even the tree trunk pressing on her could be pushed aside.
Staring at the translucent azure shield that covered her body, her heart was filled with gratitude to her sister. If it hadn't been for the bracelet that her sister had given her, she might have died long ago.
【Misaye...】
She looked at Linglongkan Misaya who was walking towards her with complicated eyes. Her best friend really, really wanted to kill her.
"What's wrong? If you count on this magic gift, your hopes will be in vain."
Reilongkan Misaya held her arms in her arms, obviously looking straight at Sajo Ayaka, but she had a condescending temperament invisibly.
"How many more attacks can you rely on to block this magic costume?"
She let out a faint chuckle, which contained undisguised sarcasm. At the same time, she drew more runes representing "ice", which turned into a group of half-human-high ice cones floating around her, aiming at
The slender body of Sajo Ayaka.
"Hand over your command spell and give up your identity as Master. This is my last mercy."
"......No, I refuse."
After a brief hesitation, Sajo Ayaka shook her head and said decisively.
"Then you go die."
Seemingly losing her patience, Reilongkan Misaya sighed softly, waved her hand casually, and hundreds of ice picks were shot in the direction of Ayaka Sajo, submerging her in them.
"I will always remember you, Ayaka."
She looked at Sajo Ayaka's position, closed her eyes, and murmured, her face as calm as if carved from marble, hard and cold, and her inner thoughts could not be seen.
Ayaka Sajo looked in the direction of Misaya Reilongkan, but everything she could see was filled with ice cones. For a moment, she mistakenly thought she had arrived in a world of ice.
She subconsciously touched the glasses on the bridge of her nose, but found nothing. The pair of rustic black-rimmed glasses had long since flown to nowhere.
Although the barrier seems to be very strong, how long it can continue to protect her is open to question. Misaya is right, the magic power stored in the magic gift will be exhausted sooner or later, and she will be like a fish on the knife.
With black magic alone, he would never be Misaya's opponent. If he wanted to fight against Misaya, he would have to use that.
But if you use that...
Sajo Ayaka stretched out her left hand and put it on her right arm.
She had to admit that she did not have any so-called talent in black magic, and her father knew this very well, so he did not force her to practice black magic, but just kept an attitude of letting nature take its course.
But underneath this let-it-take-it-takes attitude is the helplessness of facing reality.
She knew the anguish in her father's heart. Although the black magic inherited by the Shajo family was declining day by day and would die out soon, dying in the future and dying in her own hands were two different concepts.
He cannot pass on the black magic, and he has no second heir. There is no doubt that the inheritance of the Sajo family will die out in this generation.
She didn't want her father to be depressed, so she tried hard to force herself to learn black magic that she didn't like and had no talent for, in order to pass it on.
It was not uncommon for her to participate in the Holy Grail War. Perhaps after seeing her ability to pass on black magic, her father's inner distress would be relieved.
But if he only uses black magic, he will definitely not be Misaya's opponent, and maybe even with that power.
Because Misaya is so powerful and beautiful, she is almost like a sister, but at least she has hope of fighting hard.
Moreover, in this situation, do you really have too much time to hesitate?
Sajo Ayaka pursed her lips and injected magic power into her right arm. A cyan light lit up, converging into an extremely complex geometric pattern.
This is her second magic seal. It is different from the black magic seal inherited from her family. This magic seal is much more complicated. The complex geometric figures have an orderly beauty, and the lines are constantly changing.
Woven into new shapes, they look like they are alive.
His heart beat violently, sounding like a war drum being beaten, and magic power burst out and merged into the flesh and blood of his body.
The dull blue magical aura was lit up in the eyes of Sajo Ayaka, and the world took on a new look in her eyes. The materialized elements flowed through it and became the basis for constructing all things.
She stretched out her hand, and the surrounding elements gathered around it, wrapping around it docilely like an arm. The temperature in the air suddenly rose, and the surrounding trees changed from green to gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into flying colors.
Ash.
In less than three seconds, the temperature rose to a level that was enough to melt steel. A ring of incandescent fire surrounded Sajo Ayaka, like a blazing corona.
