The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fairy Tale): Chapter 55 The Pattern on Her Belly

The sudden appearance of the woman in the suit immediately put Ilya on alert.

She hastily drew her sword and jumped back, then raised the Sword of Oath and Victory with one hand, questioning him in a serious tone:

"who are you?"

"You don't need to ask who I am."

The decisive and straightforward Bazett had no time to explain who he was or what he was there for.

She had heard of Illya and Miyu before, and after learning about Kiana's unstable nature, she also investigated her.

The final conclusion was that he was an unofficial underling helping Rin and Luvia.

Strictly speaking, they can be considered one's own competitors.

That's why Bazett had no good feelings towards them.

"All I need to do is take her away, then..."

As Bazett spoke, he tried to grab Little Black.

However, as soon as she extended her hand, which was gloved with black short leather, she hurriedly retreated to dodge Xiao Hei's double-bladed slash.

"Is there still room for maneuver? You're a tough opponent, but you... hmm?"

Bazett, who had been on high alert, stared dumbfounded at the little black creature that had tackled Ilya to the ground. He never expected that the little black creature would escape from his grasp so easily.

The first thing the slightly dark-skinned girl did was neither run away nor chase after him.

Instead, he tackled his opponent to the ground? And forcibly pressed his hand against the opponent's stomach... Oh, so he was performing magic?

Despite the vast variety of magic in the world, Bazett could not fully understand the types and functions of magic.

But she was certain that Blackie had indeed cast some kind of magic on Ilya.

As for the actual effect, only the person involved knows, right?

"Uh... um~ um!!! Let me go!"

Feeling a burning sensation in her abdomen, Ilya struggled to get up and finally managed to shake off the black guy who had gotten too close.

She hurriedly deactivated her transformation, then lifted her school uniform to reveal her lower abdomen.

The belly, which should have been smooth and flat without a single mark, was now marked with a strange pattern!

"What is this?! What are you...?"

"Heh. It's just a little magic trick. With this, you absolutely cannot hurt me, and you can't let anyone else hurt me either. Otherwise..."

To demonstrate the power of the Pain-Sharing Spell, Xiao Hei gently took out Gan Jiang and pricked his index finger.

Almost simultaneously as bright red blood dripped down, Ilya felt a sharp pain in her finger...

"you!"

Realizing something was wrong, Ilya gritted her teeth and glared at the imposter.

Just as she was about to sternly reprimand Xiao Hei for his lack of martial ethics...

"So, it really turned out like this in the end?"

Kiana, who rushed over after hearing the news, glanced at the pattern on Illya's belly, and then turned her gaze to the same pattern on Little Black's belly.

He instantly realized that Xiao Hei had tricked him into binding himself and Ilya together.

Judging from the situation...

Next comes the much-anticipated scene of everyone uniting to fight against the external enemy.

And this external enemy, without a doubt, is Bazett, who is making his first public appearance.

"Oh dear, are you all preparing to be my enemy?"

The perceptive Bazett sensed something was amiss and finally looked at everyone.

She wasn't afraid of these untrained amateurs; if she had to say something...

The culprit who got him locked up in jail for several days is the one he needs to pay special attention to.

"I don't mind fighting you, but before we begin, I'd like to ask, is there any reason for us to fight?"

Bazett became unusually talkative.

However, what she said was true.

Despite being ordered to bring Kiana back, her main objective was to collect the cards.

With Kiana as a special variable, she didn't think collecting these cards would be very easy.

"If you let me take her away, then..."

"That's out of the question, Bazett."

Having clearly sensed that this person was unusual, Xiao Hei, quite naturally, seized the opportunity and, in a tone that suggested he had already joined the group, slowly said:

"I'm not leaving with you, so forget about it! Leave now, or we'll make you regret it!"

"Huh? How come you're so skilled at this?!"

Ilya found Xiao Hei's ease and skill in handling the situation extremely, unusually, and particularly incomprehensible.

However, after realizing just how terrifying the curse of shared pain truly was, she gradually began to understand why Xiao Hei could speak so confidently...

"So, this battle is inevitable. You heard that, didn't you, Miss Bazett?"

Seeing that Illya and Kuro had finally stopped fighting, Kiana looked at her opponent whom she had fought before, but who had not been able to decide a winner for some reason.

Bazette.

"..." She slowly reached out and tugged at her gloves, and then in the next second she rushed forward with unimaginable speed.

"So fast!"

"Don't get distracted, Illya, Miyu!"

Knowing full well how formidable this woman was, Kiana didn't waste any words and took on the role of commander, ordering and assisting everyone in fighting the enemy.

It must be said that Bazett's killing skills are truly formidable; he seems to exist specifically to counter magicians.

Unfortunately, none of the people she was facing at that moment were simply magicians.

"Take this! Ruby, let's go!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

As Ilya set off, countless breathtaking magic missiles flew toward Bazett with lightning speed.

But these are merely the beginning of the attack.

Under the cover of a barrage of magical missiles, Kiana summoned the Flame King Sword and swung its blade with unstoppable force.

Knowing that this woman would use magic to enhance her defenses, Kiana spared no effort to harness the power of the Plague Gem and ignite the flames of the Blazing King Sword.

Faced with the fiery slash, Bazett's keen combat instincts told her that she absolutely could not withstand this attack head-on.

Without the slightest hesitation, she rolled away to dodge Kiana's fierce attack.

Unfortunately, because she was caught off guard, she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Before long, the combined efforts of everyone left them panting heavily, their fists almost too loose to clench...

"Uh..."

"It's a shame, but you lost, Bazett."

Kiana, who was at the very front of the group, plunged the Flame King Sword into the ground, then crossed her hands on the hilt and spoke calmly.

"I never expected that they could push me to this extent."

After being at a disadvantage in a series of exchanges, Bazett seemed to finally acknowledge everyone's strength, and slowly took off and opened the backpack that was lying idle to the side.

With the appearance of an amazing aura and strange lightning flashes, Kiana, Illya, and the others instantly felt a strong aura erupting from Bazett.

She's... about to unleash her Noble Phantasm!

"A weapon capable of reversing cause and effect?"

Kiana gripped the Blazing King Sword tightly, her eyes fixed on the woman preparing to unleash her Noble Phantasm, trying to find a weakness...

Sentimental Magical Girls (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 56 The Collection of the Eighth Card Begins!

The power of the Plague Gem began to be released, and the Blazing King Sword ignited instantly, the abundant fire power causing the sword to shine with a light as bright as the sun descending...

Such dazzling light was so overwhelming that Ilya and Miyu covered their faces and exclaimed in surprise.

"What's going on!"

"Kiana, you don't mean... Illya, quick! Hide behind me!"

Having witnessed the power of Xin Yan's sword in the Mirror World, Miyu immediately sensed impending danger.

She quickly spread out a protective shield to protect Ilya, hoping to shield her from the violent explosion.

The power of the flames grew stronger and stronger.

Bazett's pupils constricted in shock as he belatedly realized that he might have provoked a terrifying being.

However, she, a veteran of countless battles, did not back down, but gritted her teeth.

They prepared to make a final, desperate struggle using the power of their ancestral treasures.

Just as the fierce battle was about to determine the final victor...

"Hmm? That's..."

Kiana glanced sideways at the two people on the mountain road behind Bazett, and was momentarily puzzled.

Why are Rin and Luvia here?

Their location... if they were to intervene, something terrible might happen.

Realizing this, Kiana stopped.
