Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[One of our king's greatest advantages, the curry stick hidden by the Wind King's barrier, is utterly meaningless in the face of Hercules.]

Because the holy sword, invisible to others, was exceptionally clear to Hercules.

[During the battle with our king, his passion was ignited, which is why he relentlessly pursued our king while letting Shirou Emiya go.]

This is the battle he desired, and the battle he must win.

[At the same time, it was also a response to the child who reached out to him.]

At this moment, Uncle B was unleashing his full power, mercilessly destroying anything that stood in his way.

As a result, the tombstones in the cemetery suffered.

Artoria used the tombstones as cover, moving about searching for Hercules' weakness, trying to find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Hercules, like a bulldozer, swung his blade, shattering the granite tombstone, the fragments flying towards our king with undiminished force.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, going back and forth, and almost completely demolished the cemetery.

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah, this..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "(；￣Д￣）"

Fortunately, their family cemeteries are all separate and not located in public cemeteries, otherwise they would definitely have suffered the same fate as those depicted in the video.

Fujimura Taiga: "I say, don't you guys think this is immoral! You actually came to the cemetery to fight and smashed all the tombstones!"

Artoria: "Sorry, but it's a life-or-death battle, I can't worry about that."

Uncle B: "aaaaaa——"

Fujimura Taiga: "(╯#-_-)╯╧═╧"

Artoria finally seized her opportunity, sweeping her sword across Heracles' chest, leaving a bloody wound.

Hercules. His defenses have finally been breached.

However, this injury won't affect his performance; in fact, it has ignited his fighting spirit.

[While the two Servants were locked in fierce combat, their Master also began to fight.]

Ilya strolled leisurely along the forest path, showing no hurry to meet up with Hercules.

Because she had absolute faith in Hercules.

【"Shuashuashua——"】

Suddenly, four dark red magic bullets flew rapidly towards Ilya from behind.

[If it hits, the girl's delicate body will be torn apart instantly.]

But Ilya seemed oblivious to the attack from behind, continuing to face away from the enemy.

The magic bullet was easily shattered by the transparent silver threads swirling around Illya when it approached within a meter of her.

[The golden needle magic trick is a technique passed down through generations of the Einzbern family.]

Weber: "This is... hair?"

The wife said, "It seems that Ilya is more talented than me."

Even she hadn't thought of using hair instead of silver threads to perform the golden needle magic.

"Oh dear, that was terrifying! They attacked without warning."

Illya turned to the side, looking at Rin Tohsaka who had ambushed her, and teased, "You're just like a wild beast, Rin."

【"..."】

[Rin Tohsaka's first attack missed, so she did not attempt another sneak attack.]

There was nothing she could do; she was poor!

Since Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, the Tohsaka family has lost its source of income, making it impossible for Rin Tohsaka to squander jewels like Luvia.

If she only has nine gems left, she must use them with caution.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."

Seeing his daughter living in such poverty, Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed helplessly.

This is indeed his fault.

[Illya: "Or is this just the Tohsaka family's style?"]

The silver threads surrounding Illya began to transform automatically, turning into two small bird-shaped familiars woven from her hair, floating on either side of her.

[This is the White Stork Knight created by Ilya herself. It was originally in bird form, but it can transform into various different weapons when launching an attack.]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Huh? You were the one who started the fight. Since we've started, what's so strange about me using a surprise attack?"]

"Or should I introduce myself again?"

[Ilya: "Hehehe, introducing yourself? Well, it's alright. I don't care about that older brother, but I have absolutely no interest in you, not even a tiny bit. Besides, I have nothing to say to someone who's about to die."]

[With no common ground for conversation, Rin Tohsaka threw another Jewel Bullet, but it was shattered by a light bullet fired from the White Stork Knight's mouth.]

[Then, the White Stork Knight charged straight at Rin Tohsaka, simultaneously firing high-concentration light projectiles from its mouth.]

Although each strike of the light bullet has relatively low force, its heat is astonishing, enough to penetrate the human body and burn the internal flesh and tissue.

[Rin Tohsaka fired out-of-line magic bullets while rapidly retreating.]

She's under a lot of pressure right now, because she has limited resources; once she runs out, she's truly finished.

Furthermore, she wasn't used to this kind of energy-based combat; instead, she was more adept at using enhancement magic and Bajiquan (a style of Chinese martial arts) to smash enemies' heads in close combat.

Rin Tohsaka: "Am I actually being suppressed?"

Luvia: "Hehehe, Rin, if you're so strapped for cash, why don't you stop using gem magic and learn some other kind of magic instead!"

Magical Girl Luvia: "It seems Rin is poor no matter which world she's in."

Rin Tohsaka: "You two! I'm not poor right now!"

Chapter 429 VS Hercules (Part 3)

[Rin Tohsaka's magic bullets couldn't even touch the White Stork Knight; the opponent's small size belied its incredible speed, allowing it to dodge and counterattack simultaneously.]

【"oops!"】

[As Rin Tohsaka retreated, she wasn't paying attention and tumbled into a large crater that Hercules had created while chasing the King, landing hard and covered in dirt.]

[Knowing it's not the time to lose my temper, I quickly got up and prepared to deal with the approaching white stork rider.]

[Illya, with a smile on her face, slowly walked towards Rin Tohsaka with the White Stork Knight, refraining from letting her familiar fly high into the sky to ravage her from above.]

Killing prey so easily is so boring.

[She wasn't in a hurry to deal with Rin Tohsaka; instead, she wanted to toy with her, hoping to see Rin cry and beg for mercy.]

Magical Girl Illya: "Σ(っД;)っ"

Is this another version of myself from another world? Am I sure I'm not one of those minor villains from an animated film?

Wife: "...Ilya—"

Ilya: "Ah! This is definitely not me! At least I don't look like this right now!"

Although, watching the video, she was indeed somewhat tempted and wanted to experience what it was like to be a fun person.

"What a nimble little rabbit! I'll add two more for you then."

[Illya declared that she wouldn't repeat the mistake Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya made before. As she walked, she plucked two more strands of silver hair, creating two white stork knights.]

With four white stork riders by my side, I can now enjoy my leisurely time.

Rin Tohsaka was also dumbfounded as she watched this scene.

[Turning a single strand of hair into a familiar? That's nothing!]

No, now is not the time to complain. We need to think of a solution quickly, or we'll be finished if we're attacked from both sides.

Webber: "I have to say, Ilya's magical talent is truly remarkable."

Ilya: "Hmm (*ˉ︶ˉ*)."

Kenneth: "How about it, how about you consider studying at the Clock Tower?"

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Let's talk about that later."

[Rin Tohsaka pulls out an emerald that can materialize projected images, and lightly leaps back onto it, preparing for her second battle with Illya.]

[Rin Tohsaka swiftly flung the emerald in her hand, instantly creating a ten-meter-diameter, continuously rotating rectangular barrier that blocked Illya's path.]

The White Stork Knights launched their attack, but their light projectiles failed to penetrate the barrier in front of them.

With the defense in place, we can now focus on attacking.

[Rin Tohsaka launched another attack, two magic bullets flying at high speed from the left and right, heading towards the White Stork Knight.]

Illya made no move, instead tilting her head and watching Rin Tohsaka's struggle with great interest.

【"Bang!!!"】

[The two white stork riders were defeated in this way.]

Before Rin Tohsaka could even rejoice, the remaining White Stork Knight's body transformed once more.
