[Inside the Church]
Knowing the location of the hostages in advance, dea reached the basent with almost no effort.
However, not only did she not relax, she beca even more alert.
Manaka had not yet appeared, and there wasn't a single barrier set up on the path to the basent.
She didn't believe that crazy woman would be so kind.
The basent was very dim.
dea cast an illumination spell.
During this, she paid attention to whether casting the spell would trigger so kind of barrier.
In fact, nothing happened.
The hostages were also unhard, even thoughtfully placed one by one in very comfortable positions.
dea swept her gaze around and paused on Fujimura Taiga.
The latter was sleeping soundly, drooling onto the pillow. She looked like she could sleep for a week without issue.
Her features leaned slightly masculine. Most importantly, dea thought, her personality shouldn't be the type Berserker would like.
But her intuition told her, this woman was the one who mattered most to Berserker.
After thinking carefully, she laughed at herself.
'What's the point of thinking so much? That man will never set his gaze on we.'
'Since when did I understand this fact?'
dea withdrew her thoughts, activated High-Speed Divine Words.
She quickly scanned their bodies to confirm there were no curses and that their life signs were good, then began activating a teleportation spell.
The purple magic circle was like a teacher using a large compass to draw a beautifully curved circle on the blackboard.
When all of them were within the circle, magical energy surged.
She frowned slightly.
"Teleportation magic consus quite a bit of mana. Without the Greater Grail's support, Master's mana might…"
Suddenly dea showed top-level reaction speed.
Gravity magic, binding magic, teleportation, transfer, heavy attack magic circles reflected, each circle fired four consecutive light bullets.
BOOM!
The building rapidly collapsed, walls crumbled, dust filled the air, light bullets flew wildly.
While smoothly transferring the hostages, dea had already flown into the air to maintain a safe distance.
And sneered at the girl on the ground, "Did you think I wouldn't take precautions with the hostages?"
She laughed coldly, "Looks like I was underestimated. Even a modern magus connected to the Root dares to step on twice."
dea had never been afraid of Manaka.
Omniscience and omnipotence were indeed impressive, but so what?
Ultimately, what she feared was, on one hand, Saber, and on the other, the Assassin that Berserker ntioned.
Now Assassin was out of the ga, and Saber was being held back.
Faced with a modern magus, she had nothing to fear.
"How could this be?", Manaka's beautiful face smiled.
Her body was crushed under gravity and binding magic, nearly unable to breathe.
Dealing with the light bullets depleted her already scarce magical energy in an instant.
Not to ntion, Saber outside was also fighting and needed mana.
"Can't break free, right?", dea mocked, "This isn't sothing you can break just by using magic. Without enough mana, even moving is difficult."
"True," Manaka tried a bit, gave up resisting, and instead smiled, "Say, Caster, why don't you co to my side?"
"Hmm?", dea narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing.
Manaka smiled, "At this ti, I should've gone to Mount Enzou to absorb Servants' souls. The reason I'm waiting here, is for you, Caster."
"What did you say?", dea faintly sensed sothing. Her blue pupils contracted.
Her heart was seized by an inexplicable unease.
That unease made her choose to act imdiately.
Mana was drawn without restraint, even tending toward draining Illya dry.
Dozens of magic circles crowded inside the church.
Even Shirou and Artoria, fighting outside, were drawn in.
"What is that?"
The two stopped at the sa ti, looked at each other, and both felt a sense of foreboding.
BOOM!
A nuclear bomb-level explosion rocked the church.
A blinding purple-blue light burst into the sky.
Trendous mana surged like an upside-down bowl, expanding ceaselessly on the ground.
"Get out of the way, Saber!", Hosting was now canceled. It had to be said that Shirou's skill in toggling hosting was already at a masterful level.
"You're the Berserker!"
Artoria had high magic resistance and wasn't afraid of such an explosion. Instead, she found Shirou's reaction strange.
'As a fellow warrior, why is his first instinct to co protect ?'
Seeing Shirou rushing in front of her, Artoria was just about to say: I'm fine.
But then Shirou flashed past her, "Don't get in the way, Saber!"
Artoria: "???"
She silently lowered her sword.
'This world might as well just be destroyed.'
You couldn't bla Shirou for being so anxious, dea was at the center of the explosion.
It wasn't that he didn't worry about Taiga and the others, but Shirou believed that dea definitely transferred the hostages first.
Otherwise, she would never have launched such an attack.
Seeing Shirou still trying to rush into the explosion center, Artoria's expression changed, and she blocked him.
"What are you trying to do, Berserker? With this kind of impact, even you can't co out unhard."
"Let go, Saber. I have my own plans."
Shirou struggled.
'Why is this woman so strong?'
"No!", Artoria pressed him down with all her strength.
"Until the explosion ends, I won't let you pass!", After speaking, she raised her head to look at the terrible explosion, her delicate brows furrowed.
'Manaka, what have you done again?'
———
Under the sky of fire, Manaka, pierced by countless light bullets, lay on the ground.
"Cough! Cough! Cough…"
dea, severely injured by the blast, struggled to get up.
"Is she dead?"
Splurt!
Blood dripped onto the muddy ground.
BOOM!
dea supported her nearly collapsing body with magic.
She saw her lower body torn in two by so force.
A searing pain swept through her body in an instant.
Creak! Creak!
The continuous grinding of bones echoed with grating sharpness.
Manaka rose in a horribly twisted posture.
Her eyes slowly opened.
"Hahahaha~ HAHAHAHA~", She laughed almost pathologically. Stepping lightly, she approached dea.
"Caster, you look really tasty," She licked her blood-red lips.
Blood dripped from Manaka's golden hair, her eyes, nose, and chin.
At so point, under the firelight, her shadow behind her began to distort and writhe.
Like a flower corrupted by mud, what remained was the purest, MALICE.
Seeing this, cold sweat beaded on dea's forehead, "What on earth is this…"
"Caster!"
Shirou rushed into the sea of fire and saw Manaka's form.
His pupils slowly dilated, then sharply contracted.
No ti to think further, projection already activated.
At that mont, Shirou clearly understood: if this wasn't where she was stopped, if she wasn't killed right here and now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This body is made of swords!"
Magic circuits fully activated.
Hundreds of weapons flew at once.
Their quality was the best Shirou could currently produce.
With that kind of power, even Manaka couldn't possibly withstand it.
However, the Noble Phantasms in midair were corroded by shadows.
No, those couldn't even be called shadows.
They were endless evil.
That's right, it was humanity's evil of this world.
"How can this be?"
For the first ti since being transferred over, Shirou's hardened face showed disbelief.
'Why is that here?'
That thing, even in Sakura's route, it only manifested because of Sakura's imaginary number attribute.
And now, it had appeared in this world in the form of Manaka.
A being just like Gilgash that should not exist, the Eighth Class, Avenger, ANGRA MAINYU.
