The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Yes, I believe that with everyone working together, we'll be able to rescue Miyu soon. Although the Ainsworth family is very powerful..."

"What? Powerful? Give me a break. In fact, this family isn't that powerful. They're not even as strong as the guy you just fought. They just borrowed the Holy Grail system to gain the ability to steal power."

Kiana glanced at the house that had been razed to the ground with some concern.

really?

Is this family really not that powerful?

But this technology of twisting space is truly peculiar.

Fine, I'll risk my life to bring her back.

With that thought, Kiana headed toward the mansion.

Kiana, where are you going?

Seeing Kiana stand up to leave, Sirin quickly asked.

"Of course I'm going back to save her," Kiana said.

"But it's not safe for you to go back alone. I want to go back too!"

"No need, you stay with Ilya and the others." Kiana waved her hand.

"No! I have to go with you! I want to stay with you."

"If you come with me, what if something happens to Ilya and the others?"

Sirin was getting impatient; her voice rose several octaves: "Kiana, do you know what you're doing?"

Kiana sighed, knowing that her decision was incredibly heartless.

However, she really couldn't rest easy without Celine's help.

"Alright, alright, I got it. You can stay by my side. I'll be careful. But you also have to follow my instructions; if I need help, you have to be there. Understand?"

"Um!"

Celine smiled with satisfaction.

It seems Kiana has finally realized her importance.

That way, she'll have an extra layer of protection.

"In that case, let's go together. I want to see just how powerful this so-called Ainsworth family really is!"

"Okay, let's go then."

With that, Kiana ran towards the mansion.

Celine followed closely behind her, running towards the mansion.

Before long, the two arrived at a pile of ruins.

Kiana frowned as she looked at the mansion in disarray before her.

"It's incredible that this building hasn't collapsed yet."

Celine looked at the mansion in front of her in disbelief.

Although the house was completely destroyed, the interior remains well-preserved.

In fact, from the surface, the house did not appear to have suffered any damage at all.

But none of this could be a coincidence.

If it were truly a coincidence, it would be an incredibly exaggerated claim.

Do you think this is a coincidence?

"I don't think so."

Kiana thought about it and figured the owner of the house must be a very intelligent person.

Since the owner of the mansion was able to preserve such a powerful defensive magic spell intact, and the house itself was also undamaged, one can imagine that the owner of the mansion was a very cunning and intelligent person.

How could someone like that be defeated by an ordinary person?

Hmm, this guy's strength is definitely not as understated as Sirin made it out to be.

A guy like that shouldn't be so easy to deal with, right...?

"No matter what," Kiana sighed, then raised the Flame King Sword and charged toward the dilapidated door, "I must rescue Miyu today!"

Magical Girl's Parallel World Journey (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya): Chapter 32 The Mastermind Who Cannot Remain Unscathed, Julian

Inside the Ainsworth family mansion.

The spatial displacement technology mastered by this family is indeed powerful. Even though the exterior of the mansion can be described as falling apart, the interior of the mansion remains intact.

Such skill is truly astonishing.

What's even more surprising is that looking out the window from inside the door, you can see that although the outside is falling apart, there's nothing that can threaten the inside.

"Phew, it's over..."

In the corridor nearly destroyed by swords and arrows, Shirou Emiya bent down and picked up the card embedded in the floor: "I'm sorry, Sakura..."

After finishing his battle with his junior, who had once been alive but had now been resurrected for some reason and ultimately died, he put away the card without showing much joy.

He knew he had to find his sister, continue his search for her, and seek that glimmer of hope that existed in this world.

But he hesitated. Where exactly did this glimmer of hope in the world lie?

Will they, like their deceased successors, completely disappear from this world with the passing of defeat?

However, even if there is only a sliver of hope left, it is worth trying.

"Hoo~~" Emiya Shirou exhaled a breath of stale air. He slowly walked to the edge of the corridor outside the door, looking around in all directions, hoping to find something unusual.

"This is~~" Suddenly, Shirou Emiya's eyes lit up: "What is this!?"

At the other end of the corridor, he saw a protruding stone, a large rock that had been cut into dozens of pieces, and in the center of the stone, a faint green light could be seen.

The green light was shining, seemingly alive, like a burning flame, but even more intense.

"This is..." Shirou Emiya reached out and gently touched the murky, faint light. "Strange. This..."

"Huh? You actually got interested in things that make money?"

The sudden voice, though full of sarcasm and ridicule, made Emiya Shirou clearly feel uncomfortable.

He recognized the person by recognizing their voice.

He turned to look at the other person, then greeted him coldly:

“Julian…”

The man named Julian was a gloomy man with glasses.

Although he wore glasses, the coldness emanating from his eyes could freeze one's soul and make one tremble all over.

"You piece of trash, how dare you speak to me like that?!"

Julian rebuked Shirou Emiya in a cold voice, then looked around as if searching for something, but his gaze did not linger on the corridor for long.

"You'd better mind your own business first!" Emiya Shirou sneered.

"Ha!" Julian laughed angrily, then looked at Shirou Emiya: "You bastard, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

With that, Julian raised his hand, his tainted power aimed at Shirou Emiya.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he could kill Shirou Emiya in the next second. This scene was witnessed by Kiana, who had just entered the room.

Kiana watched as Shirou Emiya was lifted into the air by Julian, her threatening gaze fixed on him.

She frowned. Although Shirou Emiya was not weak, he seemed to have defeated the woman he had fought.

"How dare you do this?!" Shirou Emiya roared, then struggled to pull his feet back.

Unfortunately, he was unable to pull his leg out at all.

"Hmph, you idiot."

Julian stared at Shirou Emiya, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "Let me tell you," he said, "no one in this house can stop me. I am the master of this mansion, and you are a fool who has broken in!"

As he spoke, he waved his arm.

"boom!"

Emiya Shirou was thrown into the air by him.

"what!"

Emiya Shirou fell to the ground, feeling as if his bones were about to break.

However, the moment he got up, he found that his body was becoming lighter and lighter, as if he were floating in the air like a feather.

"This...this is..."

Emiya Shirou was shocked; he had never experienced anything like this before.

"This is..." Shirou Emiya raised his right fist. Under the influence of that force, Shirou Emiya felt waves of power, which then gradually spread throughout his body.

"This...this...could it be that my power has increased again!?" Shirou Emiya's eyes widened as he stared at his right fist. "Miyu, do you still believe in me?"

"boom!"

Emiya Shirou's right fist slammed into the wall. Immediately, a thin layer of dust appeared around his fist, eventually turning into a thin layer of dust before dissipating.

"This is..."

Julian turned around in surprise, staring at Shirou Emiya who had smashed the wall.

Beyond the wall, a space that shouldn't be there was revealed.

The room where Miyu is being held...

"you..."

With the sudden opening of this passage, he and Kiana and the others who arrived late were all stunned.

this...

How is this going?
