Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

It's not because of weakness, but Illya is only ten years old now, at the age of growing up, and all the functions of her body have not yet fully developed.

Even if she uses the class card, she can't control the power of it as much as a more mature person.

It's like a child and an adult holding a gun at the same time, and it's obvious who can shoot more accurately.

You know, the role of ruby ​​is not only to help Illya control the power of the class card.

It also has A-level magic barrier, physical protection, promotion of treatment, physical ability enhancement and other abilities.

It even provides unlimited magic power in a literal sense, but the output is limited by the user's own magic circuit performance.

Basically, it provides support in all senses from all angles.

Illya in the transformed state has the combat power of a servant.

"A little, a little tired of playing-"

With another collision, Ishtar looked at Illya, who was panting in front of her but still not knocked down, and showed fatigue.

The opponent had already seen all the new things that could be brought out, and victory was only a matter of time. However, Ishtar did not intend to waste so much time on Illya.

At the moment when the words fell, Ishtar slightly raised her hand and aimed at Illya in front of her.

"Buzz!"

The strong magic power surged, and the gem that appeared from nowhere was suspended beside Ishtar's arm. Waves of amazing magic power fluctuated from it, making the whole space filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Magic Release (Gem), Level: A+.

Add excess magic power to weapons to increase attack power. Originally, Ishtar's free spirit could be called omnipotent, but due to the influence of the object of possession, for some reason, it became only possible to accumulate magic power in gems.

Although it is a powerful magic release skill, it is a little troublesome to use it because it requires the process of injecting gems and releasing them.

"Bang!!"

The air vibrated, and under the reflection of the gems, a gorgeous magic circle spun out from the front of Ishtar's palm.

The light illuminated the entire corridor.

The next moment, the surging magic power gathered inside, and a beam of magic power shot out from the magic circle, crossing the space, carrying a dazzling light and a strong impact, instantly swallowing up everything in front of Ishtar.

"Illya! Catch it--!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At some point, Xiao Hei, who had completed the theft, appeared behind Illya and threw the ruby ​​in his hand to Illya's position without hesitation.

"henshin!!!!!!!!!!"

As Illya's voice fell, a dazzling flash emerged from the ruby ​​that turned into a cane and covered Illya's body.

The huge magic power reverberated around, turning into light particles, flying around the center of the flash like fireflies, and ripples like water waves also fluctuated around the flash, reverberating around.

The sky-high magic airflow turned into a gust of wind, sweeping out and blowing on Ishtar.

"When!?"

Feeling the extraordinary magic power, Ishtar's face gradually sank, frowning tightly, looking at the ruby ​​that she had thrown on the ground, staring at the front with her wine-red pupils.

"Boom!"

Then, accompanied by a heavy explosion-like sound, the wall of the entire corridor exploded, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from it, penetrating directly through the Endsworth family and shooting into the distance.

Under the shooting of this huge beam of light, a figure seemed to be pushed out abruptly, flew out backwards, landed steadily on the corridor, and stopped after rubbing for a distance.

"Shhh!"

A wisp of smoke rose from her body. The purple magic circle in front of her had been broken. She had turned into a purple robe without knowing when. She held a ring-shaped magic wand in her right hand and a doll that was barely visible in her left hand.

However, Illya didn't care about her embarrassment at all and stared at the front.

Under this bombardment, Illya could only barely build a basic magic barrier.

Fortunately, the other party didn't want to take her life. After this casually arranged magic barrier was broken, the A-level magic barrier of Ruby resisted the other party's attack very well.

After all, the Holy Grail ceremony of the Endsworth family was not completed, and Ishtar would naturally not take Illya's life.

But, that was before Illya angered the other party.

"Very good!"

"Very good!!"

"Very good!!!"

Ishtar said three very good in a row, and she didn't even look at the card box that fell on the ground beside her.

The moment she saw the ruby, she understood why the opponent didn't attack her fatal part, but instead knocked down the card box.

The class card must have been taken by the opponent.

"You did this under my nose. It's been a long time since anyone ignored me like this!"

As he spoke, more and more gems appeared around him, and magic was injected into them in a visible form.

"The price of angering me is very high. Even Darius can't stop you. I said!"

Chapter 1044 Let me see your struggle again!

Plans can never keep up with changes.

Especially since this plan was made casually by two elementary school students without discussing for too long.

The first step of the plan was to rescue the ruby.

In Illya and Xiao Hei's plan, they should sneak into Ishtar's room and find the trapped ruby.

Then, the ruby ​​trapped in Ishtar's room was just their imagination.

The real situation was that Ishtar directly stuffed the ruby ​​and the class card into the card box.

Anyway, the card box is quite large, and there are only a few class cards, so it is not a problem to stuff a ruby.

The second step of the plan was to steal the class card.

The difficulty of stealing Ishtar's class card is really too high, mainly because the breath concealing ability of the Faceless King projected by Xiao Hei is not easy to use.

So the plan was that Illya discussed some information about the class card with Xiao Hei, and then performed a quick switch of two class cards in front of Ishtar to attract her attention.

Xiao Hei took the opportunity to swap the projected job card with the job card in Ishtar's card box, and then did other things while the other party didn't notice that the job card in the card box had been swapped.

But when Illya saw the sluggish ruby ​​in Ishtar's hand, she was furious and wanted to rescue the ruby ​​immediately.

She immediately forgot their plan and rushed up, causing a collision.

So it came to the current situation.

In short, the plan is quite different from the actual situation.

But what else can be done?

"Wuwuwuwu!!!!!!! I thought I would never see you again, Illya! You don't know how terrifying that woman is!"

"She actually wanted to tear me apart to see my internal structure. Fortunately, she had already used the limited expansion of the Archer (Gilgamesh) class card at that time, otherwise she would have used the Noble Phantasm to blast me!"

The ruby, which turned into a ring-shaped staff, cried in pain and frantically told Illya about the torture she had suffered from Ishtar.

It was really close, but fortunately it tried its best to hide itself last night to make itself less conspicuous, so that Ishtar forgot about it for a while and escaped.

During the day, Ishtar used the King's Treasure and forgot to take apart the ruby ​​because she was having fun.

Now I am waiting for the cooldown of the limited expansion of the Archer (Gilgamesh) class card. The reason I carry it with me is that I am afraid I will forget it again.

Put it in the card box, as long as I want to take the Archer (Gilgamesh) class card, I will definitely remember it.

Ruby really felt that she was going to fall here, so she kept praying in the card box, and even counted down the cooldown time of the limited expansion of the Archer (Gilgamesh) class card.

Fortunately, Illya took herself back in time before the other party dismantled her.

"Don't talk about this for now! Illya, find a way to get to the dungeon. We can't leave here with our strength alone!"

Xiao Hei grabbed Illya's collar, and sat on it for fear of hurting her shoulder, and then looked around with great vigilance.

She was looking for the location of Angelica and Darius.

After all, the only ones who could get here as quickly as possible were the two people who used the replacement magic in this castle.

"Buzz--!"

The gems in the space surrounding Ishtar trembled, and the amazing magic power lingering inside suddenly gathered.

"Illya, go down!"

Xiao Hei, who had seen the magic cannons that Ishtar fired at will, changed his face and immediately reminded Illya to leave here.

Illya, who used the Caster class card, now had enough time to prepare and could certainly resist the opponent's attack.

But their goal was not to defeat Ishtar. If they were dragged by the opponent, then when the people from the Endsworth family arrived, everything they did would be in vain.

So————

"Dream Summon——————"

The next moment, a beam of magic power shot out from the magic circle, crossed the space, carrying a dazzling light and a strong impact, and fell on the position where Illya was a second ago.

"Bang——!"

A shocking explosion was stirred up from the corridor, bringing with it terrifying wind and fire, and attacking in all directions.

"How is this possible!?"

Ishtar looked at her empty right hand, and her face couldn't help showing shock. This was more shocking than the opponent exchanging class cards for dream exchange in a short period of time.

Because——————

“Bang——!”

In Endsworth Castle, a shock wave of strong wind suddenly surged up, and a corridor collapsed. A figure fell from it and stood firmly on the ground.

That was Illya, whose upper body was only covered with a piece of cloth tied together, with wrist guards on both hands and a piece of cotton cloth on the lower body, just like the heavy pants of ancient hunters traveling in winter.

In her hand, she held an extremely rough axe.

Illya, directly used the Berserker (Hercules) class card in Ishtar's hand from a distance of 20 to 30 meters away.

“What’s the difference between this and snatching the class card directly from her!”

Not to mention Ishtar was surprised, even Ruby and Xiao Hei didn’t know what to say.

Using a class card in someone else's hand twenty meters away, doesn't that mean that when the opponent is preparing for a dream summons, Illya can directly use the class card in someone else's hand to perform a dream summons.

This is too perverted!

"No, it seems that only this class card can do it. It was only after I transformed that I felt that I could directly use this class card to perform dream summons from a long distance. For other class cards, I am afraid I still have to stick to my body to use them."

Illya shook her head. She just felt that it was possible, but she didn't expect that it would actually succeed.

Well, it's a good thing anyway.

Now there is not much time for Xiaohei and the others to think extra. There is only one chance. If they don't grasp it, the outcome waiting for them will be death.

Darius said last night that there was only the last section of the Holy Grail ceremony left, and tonight was the deadline. If the operation failed, they would not be able to gather the strength to leave again before night.

Therefore, success or failure depends on this.

"Forget it, the direction of the dungeon is over there——!"

Xiao Hei immediately adjusted his condition, sat on Illya's shoulder and pointed to a certain road. Now it was a race against time, and Illiya escaped with brute force but did not run very far at all.

"Want to escape?"

"That's not okay!"

The sharp words were passed into the ears of Illya and Xiao Hei from above.

The next moment, Illya seemed to feel something. She kicked one foot hard on the ground, making her whole body feel like a top. Suddenly spinning, with a twist, the ax sword in his hand was swung directly above his head.

Eyes of mind (fake)

Grade: B

Ability to avoid danger based on intuition and sixth sense honed through many difficult adventures.

"咻咻咻咻咻咻-!"

With the sharp sound of breaking through the air, several arrows penetrated the ceiling above Illya's head and shot out. Mixed with terrifying magic power, they shot straight towards Illya's direction like missiles.

"Clang, clang, clang—!"
