People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

An aged voice came from Aozaki Touko's mouth; it was the voice that changed the fate of the two women, a voice they would never forget in their lives.

That was the voice that Aozaki Touko imitated; that was their grandfather's voice.

“Qingzi, my feelings for you are not out of jealousy, you should understand that.”

envy?

If the initial choice for the "Witch's Egg" was the younger sister Aoko, then Aozaki Touko would only offer her blessings, and would never have felt such low-level emotions as jealousy.

"I see."

Aozaki Aoko understood the expectations placed on her older sister since childhood. She was presented to all sorts of people as the "Egg of the Mage." At that time, almost everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Aozaki family was to inherit a magic called "Blue."

What was the final result?

The magic was passed on to the younger sister, and the older sister, burdened with the infamy of murdering her grandfather, fled to the Clock Tower. To make a living, she incurred many debts and was looked down upon by all sorts of people because she did not have a magic mark.

What kind of torment must this have been for the proud Aozaki Touko?

"But now it's all over. Everything will end today. After today, everything between us will be settled, and everything... will be wiped clean."

The boxes lying next to Aozaki Touko began to vibrate, and a powerful magical force surged from the earth's veins. Even though the underground cavern had been modified and reinforced by Aozaki Touko, it was still shaken by this magical force.

Kirei Kotomine misjudged one thing.

He did deduce from the sisters' previous behavior that this was not a duel to kill each other, but that did not mean the sisters would not try to kill.

Aozaki Aoko, the current user of the Fifth Magic, possesses the "Blue" magic, so she is not going to die so easily.

Aozaki Touko, a Grand Doll Maker, possesses the superb skill to create dolls with bodies exactly like her own, and can even copy her memories. Once she dies, a "backup" in some corner of the world will awaken and live as a new Touko.

Both of them achieved "immortality" in a certain sense, meaning that their duel was virtually unrestricted from the start, except for the restriction of not using magic.

"This is what you prepared? So, the whole stone slab thing was just a rumor."

Aozaki Aoko didn't understand why her sister would spread such unreliable rumors. It couldn't be that she just wanted to annoy someone she didn't like.

However, we still can't be careless. The last time we met, this guy created a fantasy plant that had lived for two thousand years. Who knows what he'll create this time?

"Aoko, answer me a question: are you a Servant's opponent?"

Servants are essentially degraded versions of Heroic Spirits. They are familiars that can be controlled by magicians in special ways. However, if you were to treat those who have left their mark on history as mere familiars, the outcome would certainly not be pleasant.

"If we use magic, we should be able to win."

Aozaki Aoko thought about the question carefully before giving her answer.

"So, without using magic, the outcome is hard to predict, right?"

"Indeed, but can you summon it?"

Aozaki Aoko is no longer the apprentice magician she once was. Even in the Holy Grail War, it takes up to sixty years to prepare to summon a Servant, not to mention how to control them after they are summoned.

It's impossible for Aozaki Touko to complete the summoning of a Servant in such a short time.

"We can't do it, but we can make a defective product."

Mercury gushed from the box, and a clear holy sword slowly rose from it. These things looked strangely familiar to Aozaki Aoko.

"The one from the El-Melloi family?"

"Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, a very interesting little toy. I did not completely replicate the El-Melloi family's technology, but the properties of mercury are still enough for me to make good use of."

The mercury formed a tall knight figure in front of Aozaki Touko, holding the holy sword in its hand, as if an ancient knight had once again stood on this world.

Everything that has existed leaves a trace.

This holy sword was once wielded by "Vortigern's Blade." In that final rainy night, after that battle where strength, skill, and will surpassed their peak, Lloyd's "traces" were inevitably left on the blade.

"For a thousand years, the will on the sword has not completely dissipated. I really don't know who used what method to maintain this sword. But I extracted it and created a pseudo-personality, a degraded product of a Heroic Spirit Fission."

Lacking self-awareness, unable to unleash its Noble Phantasm, and affected by the environment.

These elements combined don't even qualify as a Servant, but for Aozaki Touko at this moment, they are enough.

The lack of self-awareness means it is easy to control; the inability to unleash the Noble Phantasm means that the destructive power is within a controllable range; as for not being able to leave this great void...

If Aozaki Aoko escapes, it will mean her victory. If she wants to escape, Aozaki Touko will definitely not stop her, but will instead make a good laugh at her younger sister.

"So, Aoko, are you ready?"

One magical costume after another was absorbed into the "Knight's" body, and its aura increased once again. For this battle, Aozaki Touko risked everything.

As for Aozaki Aoko?

She didn't say a word; the powerful and restless magic was the best answer. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Chapter 77 Cat and Mouse Game 10/28

Made with mercury to create the body, utilizing the fluid's flexibility to mitigate wear and tear on the doll, thus fully unleashing the combat techniques wielded by the holy sword—this is the doll prepared by Aozaki Touko—Moon Spirit Blade.

"I never expected you to have so much wealth after the seal was broken. Those magical artifacts you just wore must have been quite expensive."

Aozaki Aoko also became serious. The things that had just been sucked into the doll were all very expensive magical artifacts. These things would give this doll, which only knew how to kill people, some special functions, such as... spatial adaptability.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Moon Spirit Blade appeared behind Aozaki Aoko, and the holy sword in its hand slashed towards the back of her neck. If this attack succeeded, this young mage would surely die on the spot today.

"Bang~"

The magic bullet, which she had been holding in her hand, was launched. A series of magic arrays appeared on Aozaki Aoko's arm. With their enhancement, this attack directly blasted back the Moon Spirit Blade.

Aozaki Aoko is not a magician in the traditional sense, but a "fighting magician".

She is not weak in close combat, but once the distance is increased, she will blast you away with her magic bullets, not to mention that she also has magic to rely on.

"Attacking from behind again? After all these years, you don't think I haven't improved at all, do you?"

Memories began to surface in Aozaki Aoko's mind, including the battle in the Mirror Room between the two sisters.

At the time, Aozaki Aoko, who was still an apprentice magician, was chased around like a mouse by one of Aozaki Touko's puppets, and her magic circuits were disrupted by extremely low-level techniques.

That battle almost exposed and mocked Aozaki Aoko's immaturity.

“I chose the Mirror Room as the venue back then, so this time I’m letting you choose the venue so I can see how much you’ve changed over the years.”

The light in Aozaki Aoko's hand emitted a destructive hue, but with a casual strike, she shattered the ground where Aozaki Touko was standing. However, this was not enough to kill her.

"By transforming this space, you can appear in any corner of this huge void whenever you want. It's time to start playing cat and mouse again."

The puppeteer's greatest weakness is undoubtedly his own body.

Once the original body dies, the puppet will stop being controlled by someone else. However, Aozaki Touko's spatial manipulation technology directly gave her original body the ability to teleport infinitely within a small area.

Unless Aozaki Aoko destroys the entire Great Hollow in one fell swoop, there is absolutely no way to catch her.

As for the problem of magic power, it can be solved through underground spiritual veins, which is a convenient and shameless tactic.

But it doesn't matter. Last time, she used the terrain advantage of the Mirror Room to defeat Aozaki Touko's doll.

Last time she was the mouse and the other was the cat, this time it's not bad to switch roles.

"Boom!"

Explosions echoed from underground, and the tremors even reached the surface, but the Aozaki sisters paid no attention to them.

Mount Enzo is located in the suburbs, and with Rin Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine's arrangements, no one would come here in the middle of the night.

This is the reason why the two fought so recklessly.

Surely no one would accidentally wander into a place like this in the middle of the night?

Their duel took place in a vast underground cavern, a place almost no one ever comes to, but...

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded as the two sisters' immense magical power collided, creating a "skylight" in the vast void. At that moment, a person fell through the "skylight."

What if I came in by accident?

Through the moonlight, the two sisters were able to clearly see the identity of the newcomer.

A seventeen-year-old boy, an apprentice of the local ley line manager, a trainee magician...

"Then you are truly unfortunate."

The two sisters both turned their attention to the boy. Although he was just an apprentice magician, they had given him a warning beforehand.

If this guy came here intentionally, then he's planning to interfere in the Aozaki family's affairs; if he came here unintentionally, then it's truly unfortunate.

A cold, stinging sensation came from behind Fujimaru Kyoya, but almost the instant he landed, Fujimaru Kyoya activated his "Demon Brain" at full power, so he naturally wouldn't be caught off guard by such a sneak attack.

"A puppet? And... that sword."

Fujimaru Kyoya dodged the attack and saw his attacker clearly. It was an inanimate and mindless entity, naturally outside the range of his "Saki" defense.

He still remembered the sword; it was exactly the same as it had been a thousand years ago. He recognized it almost without even looking closely.

The Sword of Everlasting Purity and Eternal Brilliance represents the pure courage of a knight.

This completely baffled Fujimaru Kyoya. Since this sword is so well preserved, shouldn't it be lying in the British Museum?

How did it get taken by the Grand Puppeteer?

"Qingzi, the helper you invited is quite skilled. His fighting style is somewhat similar to yours."

"Orange, these are clearly the helpers you hired, right? This is your territory, do you think the people I brought could hide it from you?"

The two sisters looked at each other with suspicion.

I finally treated you with all my heart, and you, you bitch, made me lose so completely. (Image attached)

At this moment, the two sisters were probably silently playing "Gotham Joker" in their minds.

They originally came with the intention of resolving this long-standing misunderstanding, but they didn't expect the other party to play dirty tricks on them, which made both of them angry.

"Things have come to this point, it seems there's only one answer left."

The two sisters were both focused on Fujimaru Kyoya. If they wanted to keep the fight going, they would have to work together to kill him in order to gain his trust.

In other words... Fujimaru Kyoya's first battle as a magician is against the Fifth Magician and the Grand Puppeteer.

"I think we can still discuss this."

"Sorry, but this world is often unreasonable."

If it were Aozaki Aoko back then, she would indeed hesitate and struggle with whether or not to kill someone, and would need to find countless excuses for herself before she could actually carry out the killing.
