Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Illya thought it would be a good idea to play a prank on Xiao Hei, so she didn't snatch Xiao Hei from Tanaka's hands. Instead, she moved closer to him as if to keep him warm and asked him softly.

"I was caught by the Endsworth family, so I was locked up here."

Tanaka answered Illya's questions while touching Xiao Hei's body all over.

"Illya, save me!"

Illya ignored Xiao Hei's cry for help. Why wasn't she so shy when the demon kissed her directly before? She felt like she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

"By the way, Ms. Tanaka, how long have you been locked up here?"

"I don't know, but it feels like a long time. If I count it as meals, I should have eaten 40 or 50 meals."

Tanaka explained his calculation method.

"Forty or fifty meals? Half a month?"

In fact, it was more than a month. Illya wanted to have at least two meals a day, but Tanaka only had one meal a day.

As for the specific time, not long after Emiya Shirou came to Illya's world, she found the Endsworth family, knocked on the door, and was imprisoned.

"Every time after eating, my mouth and stomach would be filled with a burning sensation and twitching, and I couldn't stop sweating and shaking!"

"Is that some new form of torture?"

Listening to Tanaka's thoughts on the food, Illya felt a phantom pain in her stomach.

For some reason, her first instinct was that this should be something spicy, like mapo tofu or something like that.

"Why were we caught by the Endsworth family?" Illya wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Because I want to destroy the Endsworthy family."

"Then why destroy the Endsworth family?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

Illya felt confused when she heard Tanaka's answer.

"I only remember this: I want to destroy this family!"

As he spoke these words, Tanaka's originally somewhat dull demeanor suddenly changed and became more stern.

"Then Ms. Tanaka, is there any way to get out?"

Finally, the most crucial question was asked, and Xiao Hei stopped struggling and looked at the other party.

"You mean, leave from here?"

Illya nodded.

"Have!"

Chapter 1050: Burning the World with Fire

"Full! Full! Full! Full! Full! Full!"

In that relatively closed and dim space.

On the altar engraved with various characters.

The purple magic seemed to have sensed something and was boiling in joy.

The engravings around it seemed to come alive and began to flicker continuously. Circles of magic power began to flow from the altar, a black object that looked like a Rubik's Cube.

Darius just sat in the wheelchair, staring at everything in front of him.

"Soon, the Holy Grail Ceremony will be completed soon, right, Erica——"

"Oh, no, I remember now. How could I forget the first woman, the one who was always by my side, the gift from the gods - Pandora!"

Darius seemed to be in a very excited mental state, and he shouted like a satisfied drug addict.

As Darius finished his words, a slender figure gradually emerged from behind him.

I saw that Erica's originally childish face had become more mature, her hairstyle had changed, and her previous student uniform had turned into a gorgeous evening gown.

Compared to Illya's lively and cute appearance when they first met, Erica at this moment exudes a cold aura that keeps strangers away.

Of course, it's not just the temperament that has changed, the physique has also become more mature.

"Am I finally ready to face death?"

Darius did not answer Erica's question, but looked at Xiao Hei, who was standing next to Erica in maid outfit, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The story must go on well, otherwise I don't know what I will do!"

In an instant, Erica seemed to have sensed something, her face was filled with fear, and she half-knelt down with her hands on her head.

"No, no, no way!!!"

"Soon, it will reach the most intense stage."

at the same time------

"Hey! You said we can get out, is that true?"

Illya seemed very excited. They thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good way to get out.

"Wouldn't it be better if we just burned everything above our heads?"

Listening to Tanaka's words, the hope that had risen up instantly fell again. Illya wiped the sweat from her forehead slightly. It turned out that I was a fool to believe that Miss Tanaka had a way.

She and Xiao Hei discussed destroying the ruins above in one go, but the problem was that they didn't have anything that could cause such a great power.

The Archer (Gilgamesh) job card contains some Noble Phantasms that are not even B-rank. There are barely a few, but using the Fantasy Collapse will definitely hurt yourself.

Both Berserker (Hercules) and Lancer (Dimuldo) class cards tend to favor close-range combat, so there is no such thing as laser cannons.

As for Caster (Medea), she has a magic cannon, but it is not powerful enough and will probably have difficulty penetrating the ground. The probability of failure is very high, or rather, very high.

"Wait, Illya, do you feel something is wrong?!"

Just when Illya waved her hand, signaling Tanaka to rest first, Xiao Hei suddenly spoke.

"Now that you mention it, has the temperature around us risen?"

Hearing Xiao Hei say that, I felt like I was sweating from the heat, but it clearly wasn't that hot just now.

At this time, Xiao Hei had already broken free from Tanaka's hands, but it would be more accurate to say that Tanaka had given up on restraining Xiao Hei rather than breaking free.

It's furry and inedible, so she's not particularly interested in it.

"Her temperature is very abnormal!"

Ruby also gave a reminder at this time, but this reminder was obviously unnecessary.

Because Illya and Xiao Hei could see with their naked eyes the air around Tanaka being distorted by the temperature.

But before Illya could speak again, Tanaka half-knelt on the ground, holding his stomach as if he had suffered a serious blow.

"Ms. Tanaka, what's wrong with you?"

Illya really wanted to support the other person, but the high temperature made her at a loss for a moment.

"My stomach is still so hungry—"

"?"

She thought that the Endsworthy family had performed some inhumane experiments on her, which caused her body temperature to be so abnormal.

Because didn't Tanaka say before that the food Endsworth gave her had a strong burning sensation, maybe they were doing some kind of human body modification. Plus, Mei lobbied and told her that Endsworth made dead people into dolls. Illya had reason to suspect that they were doing some inhumane experiments.

But Tanaka was only stunned for a moment, and then he became very reliable again, covering his right hand and whispering: "The Holy Grail Ceremony is about to be completed, and the Endsworth family must be destroyed immediately--! Allow, release the treasure! The body does not allow, choose--"

Tanaka turned his gaze to Illya in front of him.

"Isn't the Holy Grail ritual known only to Darius? How do you know—"

Before Xiao Hei could finish his words, Tanaka pulled his right hand off.

The blazing flames covered his right hand, making the people present dare not breathe.

At the same time, everyone's attention was drawn to what Tanaka held in his left hand.

That's a sword.

The sword seemed to be pulled out from the depths of hell, from the endless lava. The sword body was extremely red and the hilt was like cooled lava.

"Buzz!"

Along with a shocking sound, a bright light suddenly rose on the red sword.

"Illya, I leave it to you!"

Having said this, Tanaka fell directly to the ground as if exhausted, still muttering - I'm so hungry!

"I, I don't think I told Miss Tanaka my name, how did she know it!"

But now is not the time to think about these questions, because Miss Tanaka has fainted from hunger.

Then Illya looked at Xiao Hei beside her and wanted to ask her opinion.

"I don't know what happened, but we can give it a try. It can't be a trap set by Darius. If he really wanted to kill us, he would have killed us long ago."

Xiao Hei waved his hand. Although there were still many mysteries about Miss Tanaka in front of him, since there was a way to leave, he naturally needed to try it.

If their current strength was not insufficient for them to leave safely, Xiao Hei would not have chosen such a risky method.

“Hiss! It’s so hot!”

Just as Illya was about to grab the hilt of the sword, she was burned by the horrific high temperature. Her hand turned red, but she recovered quickly.

"Let me be the new hilt!"

The ruby ​​flew directly to the hilt of the sword and wrapped around it, exposing its own staff so that Illya could grab it.

"But how?"

Illya picked it up and swung it, and found that it was not much different from an ordinary sword.

"Try to inject magic power into it?" Ruby reminded.

The next second——————

"boom--!"

The earth suddenly shook.

Chapter 1051: The End Flame Leading to the End of the World

On the ruins of the Endsworth House.

Angelica stood on the ground with her head raised, facing Ishtar in the sky.

In the words of Ishtar, mortals are only worthy of standing on the ground and looking up at themselves.

Behind him, clouds and mist rolled, and a storm like a typhoon gathered in the air.

The violent sound waves overturned the atmosphere again, thunder surged in the clouds, and a huge bull's head was looming in it.

The atmosphere in the entire space sank.

That was the Bull of Heaven that Ishtar had summoned on Mount Enzo, and it was powerful enough to destroy everything.

This was not the Bull of Heaven that she had found, but the one that had been abducted from her other self.

She had to admit that the puppet's consciousness did affect her to some extent, otherwise how could her Bull of Heaven be abducted so easily.

So she kidnapped her Heavenly Bull from another more unruly self, and no matter what kind of problems it caused.

The one who kidnapped the Bull of Heaven from her didn't think it would cause any problem, and she also thought it wouldn't be a problem if she kidnapped another Bull of Heaven from her hands.

When that self returns the Bull of Heaven, she will return the Bull of Heaven.

Angelica, standing on the ground with countless golden ripples condensing behind her, stared at Ishtar intently without making any further moves.

Angelica's eyes revealed a deep fear of the existence behind Ishtar.

If it weren't for the existence of the Bull of Heaven, the Endsworth family would have taken back the class card from Ishtar long ago.

The relationship between the Endsworth family and Ishtar cannot even be considered a cooperative one, but rather a simple exchange of interests. Without the Gilgamesh class card, Ishtar would have already taken action against the Endsworth family.
