Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

The hand holding the iron fence couldn't help but tighten its grip even more.

"Yes, are you Miyu's friend? Has Miyu been captured by the Endsworth family again?"

The man in the cell asked Xiao Hei in a hoarse and weak voice. Even though he had already guessed it, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"I'm Miyu's friend. She wasn't captured by the Endsworth family. Instead, my sister and I were captured by the Endsworth family. Now we're trying to find a way to escape—"

Looking at the man in the cell, Xiao Hei did not hesitate and told him everything they had encountered. It was obvious that the strength of just the two of them was not enough to escape from the clutches of the Endsworth family.

What's more, she also wanted to rescue her brother Miyu who was imprisoned here.

"Is that so? I don't know much about the Endsworth family's replacement magic, and I don't know how to take back your body. Sorry--"

Listening quietly to what Xiao Hei was saying, Brother Miyu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help showing his apology.

After all, he was now firmly trapped by the chains and had no way of providing any substantial help to the other party.

"If we can rescue you, can you help us escape?"

Xiao Hei did not blame the other party. Brother Miyu had been imprisoned like this. She would be surprised if he could really provide any help.

"certainly--!"

Chapter 1032: It is impossible to go back forever

"can I help you?"

Illya turned her head stiffly and looked at Ishtar who was looking at her.

Holy Grail, of course she knew the other party was calling her.

After all, when they were meeting Xiao Hei, Mom had already told them that she and Xiao Hei were both the Holy Grail, and Mom was also the Holy Grail.

etc--

Miyu seems to be the Holy Grail as well.

Illya only remembered this at this moment.

When they were discussing the matter about Miyu at Emiya's house before, they didn't know that they were also the Holy Grail like Miyu.

When they knew they were the Holy Grail, they didn't think much about it.

Only they and their mother know that they are the Holy Grail. Shirou Emiya, Rin Tousaka, and Miyu don't know that Illya and Kuro are the Holy Grail.

BB knew, but she forgot.

"come here!"

Ishtar's attitude was very tough, and her words did not allow Illya to refuse at all.

"Ruby, what should I do!"

At this time, sweat was pouring down Illya's forehead, and the ruby ​​that was pressed against Illya's abdomen did not dare to move.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe the other party hasn't noticed it?" Ruby said softly. What else could it do? It couldn't let Illya transform immediately and then have a conflict.

There are two people on the other side, and this is the base camp of the Endsworth family. If I don’t run away in a short time, I will probably be surrounded by the Endsworth family immediately.

"Then I'll go over, Ruby, you stick it on—"

Illya was very nervous. On the one hand, the other party was Toosaka Rin from another world, and on the other hand, she was indeed doing something sneaky.

This sneaky thing is for the Endsworth family.

“Take it——!”

Ishtar pulled out a Lancer job card from the card box next to her thigh and threw it towards Illya's position.

Seeing the Class Card flying towards her, Illya was slightly startled.

"Eh!"

Immediately, he subconsciously reached forward and steadily caught the Class Card that was thrown to him.

"You should be able to use Dream Summon, right?"

"Ah, yes!" Facing Ishtar's question, Illya replied in a panic: "It's just that I can't perform a dream summon directly."

When facing Saber before, it was Xiao Hei who directly used the Archer class card. She and Miyu had almost no knowledge of magic, and could basically only rely on ruby ​​and sapphire to perform dream summons.

It's not that Dream Summoning can't be done, but without the help of rubies and sapphires, the success rate may not be very high.

"Then take out what's in your arms—" Ishtar couldn't help but sneer. Illya's disguise was almost nothing to her.

"!"

Seeing Ishtar's expression, Illya stepped back in fear.

"Don't worry, even if you can perform a dream summon, you can't escape. Even if you can escape--"

Behind him, Tōsaka Tokiomi kindly reminded him, "You can never go back."

"You can never go back—"

Hearing this, Illya's face couldn't help but become stiff, and in an instant, an atmosphere of unspeakable despair enveloped her.

"It's not good to oppress a primary school student like this!"

Ruby also gritted her teeth and flew out of Illya's clothes, standing in front of her.

As Illya's partner, it will not let Illya face all this alone.

"Magic costume? It's really eye-opening!"

Looking at the ruby ​​that flew out to block Illya, Ishtar raised her eyebrows and showed a little interest, but that was all.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Dream summon, you won't be in any trouble until that guy does his so-called world saving."

"Besides, I don't intend to fight you-"

These words made Illya involuntarily clench the Lancer class card in her hand.

"It's like being treated like an object. Is this something Miyu has experienced before?" Illya murmured softly, and the magic power in her body began to surge.

"ruby!"

"I know--"

The ruby ​​flying in the air suddenly turned into a magic wand and was held tightly in Illya's hand.

"Dream Summoning——"

As these words were spoken, Illya slapped the card in her hand on the magic wand. The card immediately turned into light particles, slowly dissipated in the air, and rolled into Illya's body along the magic wand.

"Om-"

A circular magic circle like a door began to spin, and strong magical storms emerged from it and also penetrated into Illya's body.

The next moment, a dazzling light burst out from Illya's body!

In the strong light, Illya's clothes gradually disappeared, and her petite body was covered by a layer of flames made of magic power, which burned around Illya, as if something was condensing and spreading out.

By the time the magic flames disappeared, the clothes on Illya's body had completely changed.

The pajamas-like clothing suddenly disappeared and turned into an emerald green tights that wrapped the body tightly.

Her snow-white hair was draped on both sides, and her hands were holding two spears, one yellow and one red.

“Go down!”

Looking at Illya who had been dream summoned, Ishtar didn't hesitate at all. The lightning-shaped dagger in her hand turned into a class card and threw it directly at the opponent.

Ishtar's goal is simple, she wants to use the Archer (Gilgamesh) class card for a Dream Summon.

After the limited development of the class cards, the power of the Noble Phantasm held by the Heroic Spirit can be materialized in an instant, but the disadvantage is that the cards after the limited development cannot be used again for several hours, just like access is prohibited.

In other words, she can only use the King's Treasure for a period of time each time, and after using it, it will be prohibited from access for several hours.

No, that won’t work. It’s not enjoyable at all.

She wanted to possess the King's Treasure for a long time. If she hadn't been unable to use the second class card, she would have snatched the other half of the Archer class card from Angelica.

But we still have to solve the problem of how to use the two class cards first, otherwise it will be useless even if we grab them.

If she cancels the current class card status, she will go back, but if she doesn't cancel it, she won't be able to use the second class card, which makes Ishtar very uncomfortable.

Now she was wondering if it was because the class card on BB's side was different from the class card on the Endsworth family, or if the user could not carry two class cards.

After all, this body is a puppet.

And Illya is not only a living person, but also the Holy Grail.

"Bam—!"

With a sound like an explosion, Illya, who had already used the Lancer Class Card, shone again.

Chapter 1033 Holy Grail Ceremony

"Ugh!!!!"

In the open space surrounded by the garbage pile formed by countless treasures or magic costumes, when the Caster Class Card had already turned into stars and surrounded Illya, an extremely hasty and sudden cry of grief suddenly rang out.

The originally stable light began to churn as if it had been hit violently, and violent fluctuations of magic power burst out from Illya's body.

"...!"

The sudden change made Ishtar and Tōsaka Tokiomi's expressions change suddenly, and they suddenly stepped back.

"Om-!"

Amid the trembling sound of space, an incredibly powerful magic storm burst out from Illya's body.

“Illya——!!”

The ruby ​​floating next to Illya was directly blown away by this intense magic power.

"boom--!"

Only a loud bang could be heard, and the terrifying magic power instantly swallowed up everything around it, stirring up a terrifying impact storm, sweeping in all directions like a surging wave.

The solid ground was also shattered under this horrific impact.

It only lasted for a moment, and the terrifying magical impact gradually weakened and faded into the air.

And at the original place, in the disappearing magic storm, Illya slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, and two class cards in front of her slowly fell from the air.

This scene seemed to have happened before.

When Illya was collecting the Assassin class cards, she realized that she would die and that everyone might die, and a powerful magic storm erupted.

The result of using two Class Cards was completely different from hers, and Ishtar showed an interested expression as she retreated.

"Illya!" Ruby immediately flew to her side and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"

"My body still hurts--!"

Illya gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and slowly stood up with a trembling body. It was obvious that this was the consequence of her forcibly using two class card locks.

Moreover, his muscles were still sore from previously using the power of Berserker (Hercules) to their full potential, and now they were even weaker.

"It's not completely useless. The Holy Grail does have its uses."

Seeing that Illya didn't seem to be too affected, Ishtar walked up to her and looked down at her.

"What else do you want to do!"

Seeing Illya enduring the pain, Ruby responsibly stood in front of Illya and confronted Ishtar.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the ruby ​​was firmly grasped by Ishtar.

"You seem to know a lot about this magic costume. Lend it to me for a while—"

In its non-transformed state, Ruby, as a magic gift, does not have much resistance, and at most can fly at an extraordinary speed.

But in front of the servants, it is nothing.

"Leave those two class cards with you for now. This guy won't appear with you tomorrow."

Ishtar had a smile on her face, and waved to Illya while holding the ruby ​​tightly. Then she walked away towards the distant gate as if she didn't care at all.
