People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

The Phoenix Storm transformed into multiple radiating magic bombardments like flowers scattered from heaven, emitting astonishing light and heat strikes in the 360-degree direction around the sky.

“This time, I’ll definitely be able to find out the enemy’s aerial capabilities—” Illya thought.

However, the magic cannon was blocked.

Not one or two, but all of them.

The magic bombardment only traveled halfway when it was cut by an invisible blade, turning into a scattered torrent of magic power and then dissipating.

The spectacular radial magic cannon that covered half of the city was "killed" by countless cuts in an instant.

"what is that……"

After so many deaths, the magical girls all know the enemy's signature weapon, the mysterious silk thread that kills anyone who touches it.

But judging from the test of the magic cannon, what seemed to be waiting for them in the sky was an astonishing number of silk webs!

"Why couldn't I see it just now——?" Illya was confused.

"Illya, the enemy's ability!" Miyu reminded, "She can make herself undetectable by the wand, so her weapon must have the same method to hide from us."

Ryougi Shiki used her ability to erase her own "sense of existence", so she can naturally eliminate the existence of weapons in the same way.

"Not good!" After reacting, Illya randomly fired magic bullets in several directions.

With a "whoosh", all the magic bullets hit something after moving forward to different distances such as tens of meters or hundreds of meters - that kind of silk-like weapon, and then were "cut off" as expected.

"We have to reunite with Xiao Hei quickly! Otherwise we will be separated. These lines are not static!"

Illya and Miyu finally learned the characteristics of the weapon, but they had to return to reunite with Chloe, and on the way back, they also needed to "open the way" with magic bullets in all directions and avoid dangerous transparent threads. Compared with the initial "Caster Barrage Test", this difficulty is simply hell-level.

"—"

Magic bullets kept flying, then they were cut off and scattered back into normal magic power.

At the same time, the magical girls kept changing directions in mid-air with their skilled techniques.

"Xiao Hei!" Illya shouted, and now they finally approached the original place.

"It's so noisy, I can hear you!" Chloe had been observing the enemy's actions with great tension, and she was a little irritated. "I have an idea, if you guys can come over, please help me!"

In order to find a way to deal with it, Chloe just tried to touch the deeper information in the "Archer" card, and then she found a picture.

It was a scene of a hopeless snowfield, with countless swords like tombstones stuck in it, and it was also an inherent barrier called "Infinite Sword System".

Chapter 245 This is my infinite sword system!

minutes ago.

In order to find a way out of the dilemma set by Ryougi Shiki, Chloe decided to look for a solution from the class cards.

But when she was about to do so, she touched upon a strange...memory?

[This story takes place in a world without hope and about to end (cut the facts)...]

[In the vast snowfield, the earth no longer glows with spring, and human settlements become increasingly desolate. Vitality is gone, hope is gone, but disasters never stop. Some people rise up to resist, intending to find a way to save the world, but——]

【This is a story about justice.】

[This is just a story about a brother who gave up his ideal of saving the world in order to give his sister ordinary happiness.]

"...!"

Chloe suddenly woke up, and with a whoosh, she exerted force on her legs and feet, rolled sideways, and dodged to the side. As expected, an invisible fine mark was left at the place where she had just been.

"boom----"

After a while, there were chaotic sounds, the soil burst, the roads collapsed, the buildings collapsed, and the thread of death shot out a long trajectory. In its trajectory, all tangible things were cut into pieces, and then further disintegrated completely.

If she let her guard down because she was immersed in inexplicable memories, she would most likely be eliminated early. Even if she used her "mind's eye" skillfully, as long as she made a mistake once, it would be irreversible.

Unfortunately, the memory just now still made her very concerned.

Although it was incomplete, Chloe felt it was familiar and must be related to someone around her. "Whose is it?"

However, in the battle, Chloe had no time to think about it. What she needed to do was to get through the current level.

“Oh my god, Illya hasn’t come back yet…”

Chloe dodged the attack again. She felt that the frequency of the attacks was getting faster and faster. The surrounding terrain was completely cut apart by the imperceptible attacks, either into scattered pieces or into tiny powder.

From this, it seems that the opponent has not yet used all of his strength. But it is also true that although the opponent is full of murderous intent, she is just an examiner. It is meaningless to use all of his strength to kill them, but he will not make it too easy. For example, after realizing that Chloe has a certain intuition, Ryougi Shiki speeded up the rhythm of the attack, and after realizing that the two magical girls are experts in air combat, Ryougi Shiki then blocked the sky.

"Xiao Hei——"

Illya's shouting could be heard from a distance. Although she always quarreled with Illya, Chloe felt that Illya's arrival was timely. "It's so noisy, I can hear it!... Come and help!"

Chloe plans to try again to find out the deeper information contained in the "Archer" card. She feels that she needs to learn more about that inexplicable memory in order to unlock the so-called inherent barrier "Infinite Sword System".

So, Chloe said to the two magical girls who came back to support: "Thank you very much, please help to contain them, I have other methods to try-"

"what?"

"Hey, I won't tell you! I'll give you a surprise later!"

"Hmph," Illya didn't know whether Chloe really didn't know or was just trying to keep the information confidential, but she believed Chloe for the time being and formed a "defense line" with Miyu.

They already knew the characteristics of the silk thread, so pure defense was useless and could not help Chloe. The best way to restrain the opponent was to buy time with active attacks.

"Miyu!"

Illya and Miyu looked at each other, and at the same time, the wands in their hands emitted strong magical light. This time they did not pursue the intensity of the attack, but the breadth.

There is no way to expect that you can damage the enemy, but you can do your best to disrupt the opponent.

The next moment, golden lightning and white magic cannons launched high-speed, wide-area attacks towards the surroundings, and the surging bombardment spells covered a large area.

Although the silk thread that Ryougi Shiki casually laid was able to cut off the stable structure of the magic cannon, cutting the "thread" did not completely "kill" it. After the shape of the magic cannon itself collapsed, it turned into a large amount of amorphous ether magic turbulence, which continued to flow and collide in all directions, forming destructive vortices.

Soon, the terrain was filled with ether turbulence, and all the surrounding objects, or the accumulated dust, were mixed in, forming an amazing, chaotic storm concerto. Could this scattered and uncontrolled flow cause any harm to Ryougi Shiki?

Illya and Miyu had no idea, they just hoped to delay for a short while.

On the other side, Chloe finally completed the "synchronization" of her memory, but Illya noticed with the corner of her eye that Chloe's expression was not happy. It was not the kind of pain that came from physical torture, but the pain of having encountered some sad story.

That is a story from another world, the parting words between a brother and sister.

[My brother and Kiritsugu-san adopted me... to use my power... I am just a tool. Kiritsugu-san couldn't find a way to use me, so as a substitute... let Ainsworth use me to save the world... If that's the case, why did you come here at this point...]

[…Don’t even think about that. I’m a big brother, so it’s only natural for me to protect my little sister, right?]

【……! 】

[I have been thinking about what to do... Since I missed everything along the way, this choice may be wrong, but if this wish can really come true——]

Then, there is the brother's pure good wishes for his sister.

Memories flowed like light, interweaving in Chloe's mind in a brief moment. Although it was only a brief moment, she felt as immersed as a vivid story.

Soon, the tide of memory receded, and what remained in place, what was revealed to Chloe, was an unknown sword stuck in the ground.

"What? You want me to protect my sister or something like that? Hehe, that girl (Illya) has never called me 'sister' so far. You want me to protect her...?"

Chloe paused when she said this, "Ha, maybe this isn't a bad idea. This time I'm the one who can turn the situation around. Even if she doesn't recognize it, it won't work~"

She drew her sword easily.

At the same time, the vast snowfields and sword tombstones piercing the ground reappeared around them.

"No, no, no, my wish is not just that!"

The so-called inherent barrier and mental world should be what I (my mind) look like!

Chloe thought (made a wish) like this, and then the hopeless snowy scenery was reversed. From then on, the world was changed.

Chapter 246 There is always another exam, but there is no life

"call--"

Chloe woke up from her deep dive into consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief. For a few seconds, she even thought that the experience and memory she had just had were real, but she finally came to her senses.

"Illya!" Chloe yelled.

"W-what?" Illya just saw that Chloe looked off for a while, and she couldn't help but worry. Now that she has recovered, she should be fine, right?

“Can you hold on for a while?” Chloe asked. She was about to chant a spell, so it would take some time for the real reversal.

"It's just such a small matter! Humph, I can do it without you telling me!"

"..." Contrary to Illya's expectations, Chloe did not refute a word, but just smiled gently. This reaction was completely different from her usual dislike for each other, and it almost scared Illya.

But Chloe no longer paid attention to Illya's reaction. She chanted the words, and seemed to show her faith. She read:

"I am the bone of my sword."

At the same time, this action attracted the attention of Ryougi Shiki.

“…?” What is that? It seems to be a chant of great magic?

Ryougi Shiki is not a magician, but in the process of fighting against Dead Apostles, she has encountered many Dead Apostles transformed from humans, including many magicians. However, they are usually ambushed and killed by Ryougi Shiki before they can chant a complete spell.

"Anyway, they seem confident that they can use that magic against me?"

Ryougi Shiki had no interest in this kind of "playing house" training. The so-called magical girls were nothing special, and these little girls had no combat experience at all... However, after a few times, their rapid progress gradually attracted Ryougi Shiki's interest, and they had many more tricks in their hands than their ordinary opponents.

'interesting. '

Ryougi Shiki, originally planned to stay where she was and manipulate the soul wire to "play", but now, she decided to go out in person.

"—!"

Illya suddenly felt an alarming chill, as if the god of death from hell had crawled onto the earth. Miyu also increased her output power, and lightning in the sonic mode wrapped around her body.

"Illya, wait a little longer!" Miyu was also keeping an eye on Chloe's spell progress.

"I know, but...!"

Suddenly, the feeling from last time came back, just like the first trial, Illya was beheaded without any resistance. Powerless, cold, dead -

"Ahh, I won't die in the same place twice!"

At the critical moment, Illya's mental strength improved again, and she finally noticed Ryougi Shiki's attack.

What did Ryougi Shiki eliminate in order to achieve invisibility? I don't know!

Which path should I take to derive the method? I don’t know!

But Illya had skipped the process and got the answer. Just because she wanted the answer, she gained a "superhuman perception" that could break through herself.

This is both the effect of the mark bestowed by Qin Xuan and a certain function of the Lesser Holy Grail.

"There!" Illya raised her hand without warning and changed the angle of the magic cannon that was about to fire. "Starlight Burst—"

A great, brilliant white light illuminates the earth.

"What?" Ryougi Shiki originally thought that the other one was the trump card. Although this one was far from enough to deal with her, she was surprised by the opponent's breakthrough.

"—Boom!"

The magic cannon was finally "chopped into pieces", the flow of magic power collapsed and scattered, and Ryougi Shiki's position was finally exposed.

"Little black!"

"It's so noisy, only one point left!"

Chloe ignored him. "My whole life was still 'Unlimited Blade Works'. This hypocritical body is still made of swords!"

The world has been replaced.

Illya, who was using the magic cannon to contain the enemy, Miyu, who was assisting with the firepower, and Ryougi Shiki, who was dealing with the magic cannon attack in the distance, were all drawn into the world of the mind at this moment.

That is a world made up of swords, no, to be more precise, it is made up of countless weapons.

Originally, this place should give people the feeling of a battlefield, a wasteland, or purgatory, but the inherent barrier will be affected by the owner.

The world that Chloe unfolded into did not have a huge gear-shaped sky. Instead, it was a desert land illuminated by golden sunlight, and in the distance there was a broad blue waterfront that seemed to carry the magic of life.

The surrounding desert was filled with sword-shaped weapons. They were not imitation projection weapons, but bright weapons with a luster like crystal.

"Eh——the trial venue suddenly changed?" Illya hadn't reacted yet. She observed for a while and suddenly realized: "Wait, isn't this——"
