In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

Boom!

The gale and the flames collided, creating an extremely powerful backflow.

Rin Tohsaka shielded herself with one hand and grabbed Sakura Tohsaka with the other.

These past few years of study have made this young lady of the Tohsaka family aware of the cruelty of the Holy Grail War.

So she was mentally prepared for this situation and wasn't afraid at all.

not to mention--

Rin Tohsaka looked at Atalanta in the distance, a hint of admiration creeping into her eyes.

There are no weak Servants in the Holy Grail War, not even those who appear to have little fighting power!

The smoke cleared.

The windows near the impact area were shattered.

The arm that had detached from Berserker's body returned to her—was her attack about to end?

Do not!

Far from it!

Berserker, having reattached her arm, spoke to her young Master beside her:

"Master."

"The one on the other side seems to be the fastest Archer... could you help me out a little?"

"understood."

Ilya responded to her Servant Ibaraki-Douji in this way, and her ruby ​​eyes began to shine with a different light, as if even the afterglow of the evening could be affected.

On the surface, it appears that the numerous magic circuits implanted in Ilya by the Einzbern family are taking effect.

But in reality, there is a deeper reason behind this!

As the only oni in the Heian period to have directly received the blessing of the Holy Grail, Ibaraki-dōji possessed an extremely strong affinity for the Holy Grail.

And quite coincidentally...

Because of the Einzbern family's needs, Ilya, whose body has been extensively modified, also has a function similar to the "Holy Grail"!

This means that she is perfectly able to meet the needs of her Servant Berserker!

This is also why Illya was able to summon Ibaraki-Douji—because it is essentially the Holy Grail summoning a "ghost blessed by the Holy Grail"!

There is a very strong connection between them!

of course.

Ibaraki-dōji and Illya were unaware of this.

The actual manifestation of this enhancement is that Ilya's excessive magical power can enter Ibaraki-doji's body almost unharmed.

puff-

puff-

puff-

The blonde little girl's heart began to pound.

Behind her, two arms engulfed in flames appeared out of thin air.

In this way, the petite Berserker began to look like a ferocious red demon.

"The Rashomon Incident!"

Ibaraki-dōji shouted these words, and then, almost crawling on all fours, charged forward!

This is an extremely terrifying burning ability.

Wherever Berserker passed, the extremely high temperatures caused by her magical outflow became dry, and even the air itself seemed to melt.

This is something that would be almost impossible in a modern city, but it is actually happening at the private Homurahara Academy!

"..."

Atalanta's cat ears twitched.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a violent attack—completely disregarding the consequences!

Is this Berserker?!

“Master——!”

The catgirl servant shouted directly.

Rin Tohsaka understood immediately and quickly replied, "Archer, you are permitted to use any means necessary to win."

"understand!"

With the permission of her Master Rin Tohsaka, Atalanta immediately let loose.

She drew the bowstring taut, closed one eye, and prayed in the most devout tone:

"Apollo, the god of the sun!"

"Artemis, the goddess of the moon's radiance—!"

"In the name of Atalanta, I offer my prayers to the two gods."

"May calamity descend and devour my enemies!"

“Phoebus Catastrophe!”

After completing this series of prayers, Atalanta once again fired her arrow.

But unlike before, the catgirl is now aiming not at her enemy Berserker, but at the sky!

Whoosh!

Atalanta leaped into the air and fired her arrow.

The green stream of air flew towards the sky, passing through layers of clouds.

then--

The full moon and starlight shone like dazzling diamonds.

But their true god is not a star, but a rain of calamities sent in response to Atalanta's call!

Every arrow that fell under the moonlight carried a fierce flame, as if it had been blessed by the sun god Apollo!

This is the Phoebus Catastrophe!

The arrow fell, hurtling towards the Berserker as he went berserk!

Boom——!

Boom——!

One explosion after another echoed across the campus, the shockwaves shattering the glass of all the nearby windows.

This was a much more intense collision than the one before.

Even Rin Tohsaka had to use specific defensive magic to temporarily keep herself and her sister out of the situation.

On the other hand, Atalanta was quite confident in her Noble Phantasm, Phoebus Catastrophe.

after all--

Although their compatibility with Rin Tohsaka hasn't reached its peak yet, the assistance from the two gods is definitely not something that can be easily overcome!

We've gained the upper hand in this battle!

however--

Things didn't go so smoothly.

What happened next was absolutely shocking.

Berserker, carrying the Phoebus Catastrophe on his head, walked forward step by step.

Although her pace was quite slow, she did not waver in the slightest.

"How can this be?"

Atalanta looked at the scene before her, almost unable to believe her eyes.

Wait!

The catgirl's keen observation skills quickly helped her discover the problem.

How come she has two more arms?

Yes.

Just as Atalanta observed, Berserker, who originally had only four arms, now had two more arms.

This allowed her to defend against the Phoebus Catastrophe almost perfectly!

Do not--

Rather than defending, it was more like using physical strength to withstand the rain of arrows jointly unleashed by the sun god and the moon goddess.

This is something only a Berserker, whose entire body is enhanced, can do.

If we consider this further, her Master is probably also expending a large amount of magical energy at this moment!

But realizing this is too late.

Berserker looked up at Atalanta, who was suspended in mid-air, and his yellow eyes showed a hint of approval towards her.

"Your arrows... are very powerful."

"Just as formidable as the trap that Shuten-dōji set up at Mount Ōe back then."

"but--"

"That's it."

With that, Ibaraki-dōji stomped down hard, crushing the ground beneath his feet, and then, with his terrifying physical abilities, leaped into the air!

She swung her six flaming arms (four of which were conjured from Ilya's magic) at Atalanta.
