"Illya...!"
Annuo's pupils almost shrank into a hole.
This aura—it’s not Illya!
——It’s the guy disguised as Irisviel!
The aura on her body is exactly the same as the black mud I saw during the last Holy Grail War!
"I don't care what you are, just come out of Illya's body!"
Annuo gave a low drink and rushed towards Illya.
The current situation is difficult to handle!
Illya's safety must be ensured, but - it is obvious that the black mud that has caused pollution in the Little Holy Grail and has its own consciousness has possessed Illya's body.
Wow——
Sensing Annuo's approach, Heini seemed to feel some threat and raised one of his hands, and a stream of black mud suddenly surged towards Annuo.
——It’s a curse!
But Annuo didn't pay attention, and instead hit the black mud directly.
The treasure armor given by the fairy will protect him from the curse.
"Young man from the Falgao family - find a way to control Illya!"
Annuo roared, raised his hand and raised the sword in his hand.
But Illya, who was possessed by black mud, moved more quickly than Annuo. She moved to the window almost instantly, as if endless black mud poured out of her body, and the magic power exploded——
boom!!!
"Uh-"
Annuo was caught off guard and was blown away by the explosive magic power - since there was heat in the black mud, it would naturally be able to cause an explosion under the right circumstances.
Anno was blown away, and a corner of the Einzbern family castle was also blown to pieces.
"Um!?"
Xiang An's eyes widened, and he raised his hand and twirled the big beryllium in his hand.
Such magic—what a raging curse!
"Sister-in-law, and others, please stay away!"
"Everything in that black mud is cursed! Be careful!"
Xiang An shouted, looking at the black mud that continued to seep out of Ilia's body and fall to the ground, his eyes serious.
Such a level of curse...!
What exactly is the pollution in the Holy Grail!
"Find a way to distance yourself and attack... Archer."
Tohsaka Rin looked at his servant.
Archer sighed, with regret in his eyes.
Ilia......
but......
He still drew his bow.
"Saber, stay out of the way."
He just said this.
The arrow in his hand shot out in an instant.
Buzz——
boom!!!
Just like the arrow that exploded in Liudong Temple that day, the arrow caused a violent explosion, which not only caused damage, but also ignited the black mud dripping on the ground.
Although it is a thing made of curses, its substance seems to be able to be ignited, and it will lose its properties after burning.
From this perspective...maybe, it can also be regarded as a solution.
"Now what...!"
Adroson rushed to Anno's side and asked his elder.
"The thing in this child's body seems to be angry...!"
"No matter what you and that kid Shenji discussed before, use it now."
Annuo's eyes were locked tightly on Illya floating in mid-air.
"That black thing is extracting Illya's magic power and vitality... I can feel it!"
"If you don't hurry up, Illya...!"
Annuo didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood the meaning of his words.
"If this continues..."
"Ilia, sister, she..."
"Will you die?"
Emiya Shirou muttered these words.
Illya, my "sister", the biological daughter of her father, Emiya Kiritsugu——
Will die?
......No.
don't want.
There was anger, struggle, and desire in Emiya Shirou's eyes.
Countless emotions filled the heart that had been whipped crazily in the past few days.
——I don’t want Illya to die.
It’s not just that I don’t want this loved one I finally got to die, it’s also because...
You can’t even protect the people around you!
Why do you protect the world!!!
Buzz——
His body was covered with a layer of silvery white light.
I don't want to see any more innocent people die.
I don't want to see any more innocent people suffering.
Start by helping the people around you, protecting the people around you, and start little by little.
Let everyone see my determination.
This is——
My justice.
Emiya Shirou felt as if he was holding something in his hand.
That's - a sword?
This sword seems... familiar?
Adroson didn't pay attention to the movement behind him. After hearing Annuo's words, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"good!"
It was a matter of life and death, and there was no time left for him to hesitate.
"Mr. Anno, hold it for me - hold it for...twenty seconds!"
To be continued...
