Chapter 563: Chapter 549: Caster, the Caliber of an Age of Gods Magus! Overwhelming Magical Cannons

[ And Miyu’s genius didn’t stop there; even in the short sprint, the sports event Illya was best at, she lost to Miyu.

After a whole day of discovering that she was being crushed by the transfer student in every aspect, Illya sat dejectedly in the park, seemingly having taken quite a blow.

Miyu saw all of this as well. Remembering Illya’s comical battle yesterday, she asked Illya a question: "You, why do you want to collect the cards?"

Faced with the sudden interrogation, Illya didn’t know how to explain for a moment: "Uh, I just went with the flow, or rather... I was tricked?"

"Is that so? Then why do you fight?" Miyu’s expression gradually darkened as she continued to press: "You were just dragged into this, right? You have no responsibility or obligation to fight." ]

"Miyu really is fully developed in morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics, and labor. Even Illya the Fleet-footed lost..."

But then again, is that a speed an elementary schooler should have?

Certain mages in other worlds looked at their own big bellies with a guilty conscience... They had been so focused on studying magecraft that they seemed to lack exercise.

They couldn’t even compare to an elementary schooler. It felt like their knees would wear out after just two steps, and if they ran any distance, their lungs would probably leak air like broken bellows.

.....

?Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline?

Irisviel smiled somewhat gratifyingly:

"It looks like Miyu doesn’t want Illya to get dragged into the conflict regarding the Ainsworth cards..."

It was rare to see a world where Illya lived a healthy and happy life, and Irisviel didn’t want Illya to continue getting involved in this chaos.

Kiritsugu Emiya remained silent. Miyu was right; Illya had no reason to fight, and she shouldn’t be dragged into this battle!

The Illya of the previous world ultimately used her function as the Lesser Grail to activate the Third Magic, Heaven’s Feel, sacrificing herself to save Shirou.

But the Illya of the Prisma Illya world could be considered to have escaped the shackles of the Holy Grail War, becoming an incredibly ordinary elementary schooler.

Sometimes being mediocre is a blessing. Illya just had to continue growing up healthily like this, and she could live the life she wanted. But why...

.....

[ "To be honest, I actually admire this kind of thing quite a bit." Illya mumbled a few times: "Isn’t this a bit similar to anime and games?"

"Since I have the rare opportunity, I want to enjoy this game of collecting cards..."

"Enough!" Looking at the somewhat naive girl before her, Miyu clenched her fists tightly and turned away coldly: "You don’t need to fight. I will collect the cards alone."

"Although I don’t quite understand the reason, it seems you’ve stepped on a landmine," Magical Ruby, who had taken everything in from the side, said faintly. ]

[ ..... ]

?Bleach World?

"She definitely stepped on a landmine, Illya-chan!"

Even a dummy like Kurosaki Ichigo knew that Illya’s words were practically dancing in Miyu’s minefield.

Treating the collection of Class Cards as a game? No wonder Miyu would get angry.

Isn’t this equivalent to treating the opportunity that Miyu’s brother exchanged his life for by clearing the Holy Grail War in a single night as a joke?

Rukia shook her head:

"The Illya of this world is ultimately just an ordinary elementary schooler. She doesn’t know what she is about to face."

Treating this as a game to enjoy? This isn’t a game, and there are no extra lives. If she doesn’t adjust her mindset, she will really die.

?Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline?

"Illya, this isn’t some fun game. Why are you jumping into the fire pit?"

Hearing Illya’s reason for fighting, Irisviel appeared incredibly anxious, clasping her hands tightly together until her knuckles turned white from the force.

Illya was born for the Holy Grail War. Even if she didn’t die after the war ended, her functions would rapidly deteriorate. Without a miracle, she probably wouldn’t live long.

However, the Illya of this world had finally broken free from the shackles of the Holy Grail War. Why couldn’t she think straight and insist on jumping back in?

.....

[ On the way home, Illya, who had been inexplicably scolded, was still puzzled. Why was she scolded by Miyu when everything was fine?

Soon, she saw the silver-haired head maid standing in front of the gate: "I’m back, Sella!"

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Sella still in a daze, Illya tilted her head in confusion.

"Look at that..." The head maid pointed with a stunned expression at the building opposite their house.

Illya looked in the direction of her finger and was instantly dumbfounded.

Opposite them, a huge mansion had appeared at some unknown time, like a magnificent palace. The tall iron gates displayed nobility and majesty, and the stone pillars beside the door were carved with exquisite patterns.

"So big! Where did this automatic mansion come from?" Illya’s eyes turned into swirls, shocked beyond belief: "Did we have this thing in front of our house before?"

Sella thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "It seems a foreigner bought this land. Construction started suddenly this morning, and in the blink of an eye, the mansion was built."

Then Illya saw Miyu walking into that mansion... ]

[ ..... ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

Looking at this magnificent building, even people from other worlds were stunned. Can this thing be built in a day?

Where is your foundation? In just one short day, let alone decoration, the cement for the bricks probably isn’t even dry yet, right? Even ’money’ powers should follow some logic!

.....

?Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline?

"How can this be done in a day? This is neither scientific nor magecraft!"

Tohsaka Rin pressed her temples in frustration, unwilling to believe the facts before her eyes.

"THAT DAMN NOUVEAU RICHE—!!"

Looking at that luxurious building, she could guess with her toes that it must be the work of her lifelong nemesis, the ’wealthy’ and approachable Lady Crane, Luvia!

Illya slowly raised her head and sighed:

"I didn’t expect the me of that world to be down and out, family."

To be surprised by seeing this kind of building... her own family’s castle was clearly more luxurious and magnificent.

Seeing her own startled reaction, Illya silently lamented. The self of that world must have gone bankrupt...

.....

[ After the brief interlude, night soon fell, and it was time for the fierce card battle again.

Illya and Tohsaka Rin, along with Miyu and Luvia, tacitly arrived near the Fuyuki Bridge.

The two rookie magical girls, under the orders of their unreliable seniors, opened the teleportation circle to the Mirror World.

Then the scene changed. After about four minutes...

The group of four—Illya, Miyu, and the others—who were originally high-spirited, were now lying on the ground in disarray, looking battered and beaten into a pulp... ]

[ ..... ]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"Good guys, gone in a flash!"

Looking at the group of defeated magical girls, the crowd still hadn’t quite figured out the situation. Weren’t they very imposing just now? How were they wiped out in the blink of an eye?

.....

?Type-Moon World, G?????r???a????n????d??? ????C????a???r????n????i???v???a????l??? Worldline, Chaldea?

"No... was it that fast?"

Gudako looked hesitantly at the instant noodles in front of her that were still hard. It shouldn’t be. Did King Crimson just erase time?

My noodles just started soaking, and you guys are already done fighting? I don’t lose that fast even when fighting high-difficulty quests!

"Exactly which Servant is so powerful! If possible, it’s not like I can’t give them a chance to join the team!"

It just so happened that Waver was working overtime every day and kept saying he wanted a vacation.

.....

[ The scene returns to a few minutes ago. The opponent this time was Caster(Medea). The group was stunned the moment they entered the Mirror World.

"What is that...?"

The entire space was covered with magical reflection planes. Wherever the eye could see, there were black vortices, or rather, it would be more accurate to call them Magic Eyes.

As soon as Illya entered, red dots like those from modern sniper rifles shone on her body. Immediately after, she suffered a fatal blow as overwhelming magical blasts bombarded downwards like rain!

The two could only rely on the A-rank magical barriers provided by Ruby and Sapphire to defend themselves, but even they couldn’t withstand such a dense bombardment.

Soon, Illya’s barrier was shattered, but the opponent also stopped attacking.

Just as the group was at their wits’ end, Caster performed another high-speed incantation, and a huge magic circle formed above everyone’s heads.

"Could this be... a major crisis?" Even as a rookie magical girl, Illya realized the severity of the problem: "We’re definitely losing this round."

Realizing the danger, the group fled somewhat wretchedly without a second thought. At the very last moment before the pillar of magical light hit them, they barely escaped Caster’s Mirror World. ]

[ ..... ]

?Projection of All Worlds?

"Caster... was she actually this strong?"

Looking at the dense cluster of Magic Eyes in the sky and the magical blasts falling like rain, everyone in the other worlds went numb and silently swallowed their saliva.

Understood. It’s not that Caster can’t fight, but never schedule a battle with her as Batman does. The difference in power level is just too great!

.....

?Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline?

"That somewhat demonic chanting speed, unreasonable quantity, and superhuman magical energy... Is this a Magus from the Age of Gods?"

Looking at the screen full of magic bullets, Tohsaka Rin was dumbfounded. The difference between modern magecraft and Age of Gods magecraft wasn’t just a little bit; it was a total defeat on all fronts!

"Hmph, as expected, this is the standard Caster should have."

Gilgamesh’s lips curled up slightly:

"Setting up magecraft traps in advance—this is the proper way for a Caster to fight!"

It was a pity that the Caster of this world was dragged down by her Master and couldn’t display her strength.

"No wonder they came out so wretchedly fast. How are they supposed to fight this..."

Emiya Shirou also felt his scalp tingle.

Every time they entered the Mirror World, they were greeted by endless beams of light. This fight was a bit too painful!
