The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

She looked particularly relaxed, as if she had gotten used to visiting this place.

Luvia stared at her competitor, who was happily munching on his bread, for a long time before finally silently picking up a large milk carton from the table and pouring him a glass of breakfast milk.

"Thank me, you wretched girl from the Tohsaka family."

"What?! This attitude..."

Feeling that Luvia's way of addressing her was getting increasingly unpleasant, Rin picked up her cup and started drinking her milk, somewhat bewildered.

As the fragrant milk slid down her throat, she was momentarily overcome with happiness and let out a soft moan of "Ah~~~".

"Thank you. I hope you can be just as reliable in the battle a few days from now."

"Ha, how ridiculous. Don't confuse me with you, Rin."

Luvia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then began to eat breakfast with the others.

Before long, the mealtime ended, and the day's training began.

Although such training might not seem to yield any significant results, Kiana still chose to trust Rin's judgment and, under Rin's guidance, trained diligently with Miyu.

Time slipped away as Rin, acting as coach, and Luvia, acting as judge, bickered, belittled, and cared for each other...

Finally, as time passed, the time came to collect the last cards, including the Berserker card.

"Ready to continue? Very well, then let's set off, Kiana, Miyu, and... Miss Luvia."

Rin, unusually, called Luvia by her name in a serious manner. It was unclear whether this was because they were about to part ways or because their daily bickering had developed into affection.

In short, after everything was prepared, she led everyone to the Mirror World without stopping, intending to complete this final task...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha): Chapter Thirty-Five: The Flame and the Twelve Trials

Compared to the previous battle, this Mirror World appears particularly desolate.

A gray-blue building with empty corridors.

These desolate and eerie elements combined to create the final battlefield.

"Jump complete."

As the sapphire's words were conveyed, the group found themselves inside the building, which looked ominous.

When they first saw the scene in the mirror, both Rin and Luvia showed expressions that weren't particularly pleasant.

"A building... This place doesn't seem suitable for combat. I wonder what this card is like."

If the enemy is skilled at ambushes, like Hassan, then the entire battle will become very difficult.

After all, they were playing away from home, and their understanding of the Mirror World was ultimately limited...

"what!!!"

"Huh?! What was that sound?"

Just as Rin remained silent, troubled by the anticipation of what was to come...

The sudden shouts of battle from afar drew everyone's attention.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a dark blue-black giant with disheveled hair and wearing ancient battle armor standing there, staring at him menacingly.

His statue-like face and explosive muscles gave Rin and Luvia a great sense of pressure.

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

"Stop daydreaming, Rin! Kiana, Miyu, prepare for battle!"

Unusually, Luvia was the first to react and began reminding the two main players to prepare for battle.

With her reminder, Kiana and Miyu naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for their fate.

"Okay! Sapphire, let's go!"

Having already transformed into a magical girl and ready to shine in the upcoming battle, Miyu rushed forward without hesitation and began to contend with Berserker.

Seeing this, Kiana rushed forward as well.

Wearing an ordinary school uniform, she didn't look like a regular soldier at all.

He wasn't carrying any weapons, but he followed Miyu with brisk steps, protecting her.

It wasn't that she didn't want to take up a weapon, but rather that her body hadn't fully recovered, and she was afraid to use the Flame King Sword against the enemy.

Before he can even land a few strikes, he'll likely reveal a weakness to Berserker, putting himself in danger.

It will also implicate Miyu and Luvia.

Kiana was especially careful because she knew Berserker's strength very well.

However, just because she was cautious in dealing with the enemy does not mean that others can be cautious in dealing with the enemy.

At least after encountering Berserker, Miyu's operational strategy became much more aggressive, completely different from her previous cautious and prudent approach to combat.

"drink!"

After several successful attempts, Miyu took out the Lancer card given to her by Rin and obtained the spear wielded by the Heroic Spirit Cú Chulainn. With a swift and fierce attack, she unleashed a fatal thrust at Berserker using the Gae Bolg.

However, faced with this seemingly powerful but actually not very lethal crimson spear, Berserker simply grabbed the front of the spear with a sudden movement.

Then give it a hard flick!

"How could this be!"

Miyu never dreamed that Berserker's combat power would be so strong, easily blocking her attacks.

He could even turn the tide of battle completely with a casual flick of his wrist...

"Miyu-sama, watch out!"

Just as Miyu was about to be seriously injured by Berserker's forceful swing, Sapphire's warning sounded quietly.

Realizing the danger was imminent, she quickly released her grip on the spear.

However, it was too late...

"what!"

Berserker roared and pounced on Miyu. His simple punches and kicks overwhelmed her, sending her flying backward.

Seeing this, Kiana immediately grabbed Miyu, preventing her from being thrown against the wall by the powerful blow.

"Miyu, are you alright?"

"Cough! A formidable opponent..."

Even with the physical enhancement from the Sapphire, Miyu was ultimately no match for Berserker's onslaught and struggled to support herself on the ground with both hands.

There was no sign of them getting up to fight again.

Faced with this enemy, she seemed to have reached a dead end...

Upon seeing this, both Rin and Luvia looked surprised.

"Miyu, Kiana! Danger!"

Knowing they couldn't let the Berserker continue advancing, they didn't hesitate and began to use their magic to defend themselves.

Unfortunately, their resistance was of little use against Heroic Spirits whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary magicians.

Attacks that would be fatal to ordinary people didn't even cause a decent wound to Berserker.

Their intervention, however, only angered Berserker.

"Ouch!"

Berserker let out a deafening roar, and then charged toward the two annoying women with unstoppable momentum.

With his skills, the consequences would be unimaginable if he were caught!

"Damn it, let's get out of here!"

Rin knew this very well, so she hurriedly grabbed Luvia and started to run away.

However, compared to the Heroic Spirits, the two magicians were clearly outmatched in physique, and were caught up with before they could even run a few steps.

Because of her somewhat cumbersome clothing and less-than-ideal physical condition, Luvia was clearly lagging behind Rin.

Faced with an enemy so close at hand, Berserker undoubtedly set his sights on this woman.

A deadly punch followed...

Faced with the Berserker's fierce attack, Rin, quick-witted and agile, lunged backward without hesitation, barely saving Luvia from harm.

However, because her movements were too intense, the two inevitably ended up rolling together.

Rin, pinned beneath Luvia, gasped for breath, then muttered angrily:

"Damn it! You've gotten fatter again, bread roll!"

"Ugh... How rude of me to say something so embarrassing for a lady."

Luvia blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

However, before she could even realize that she was in a dangerous situation...

"what!"

Berserker raised his fists high, seemingly about to smash Rin and Luvia into a bloody pulp.

Faced with this terrifying attack, both sides closed their eyes in fear.

However...

*Pfft!*

The expected sound of bones shattering did not occur; instead, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh reminded them that something unexpected had happened.

Confused, they both opened their eyes, wondering if Miyu had used the Saber card to attack with a longsword to save the day.

However, the greatsword that pierced Berserker's chest unsurprisingly proved this conjecture to be wrong...

The sharp blade, gleaming with a fiery afterglow, almost blinded Rin and Luvia...
