As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Seeing Fate's confident demeanor, Elf nodded.

"Alright then, Fate, you absolutely have to win!"

After saying that, Elf turned and flew away into the distance.

Watching Elf fly away from the battlefield, Fate raised the Lightning Battle Axe in her hand and said to Nanoha:

Let's begin!

............

Meanwhile, on the Asrad warship, Chrono was watching the battle unfold.

"The battle is about to begin."

"Hmm. Is there no problem with fixing the combat space?"

"Yes, the double barrier extending into the sky, and the virtual buildings used for combat training, are both difficult to detect and can be destroyed at will."

"It's really rare, though. It's actually rare that Chrono would agree to such a bet. Although it would be best if Nanoha could defeat her, it doesn't matter who wins or loses."

"While Nanoha and Fate are fighting, let's hurry up and prepare to track down Fate."

"I believe you, don't let her get away."

“No problem, but shouldn’t we tell Nanoha about that? Precia Testarossa’s family and the accident.”

"Ideally, she should win; I don't want to confuse her right now."

............

We are currently on the outskirts of the battlefield.

"Hey, Elf, come over here."

When Elf arrived at the border, he saw Abigail floating in the air waving at him.

She saw Abigail waving at her. Elf then looked around and found that there was no one else there except Abigail and Yuno, so she flew over.

"How did you end up here?" Elf asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't it normal for me to be here? Now is not the time to chat. Let's watch Nanoha and Fate's final battle."

Upon hearing Abigail's words, Elf turned around and looked at the battlefield.

"Fate will definitely win, just you wait!"

At this moment, above this virtual city, Nanoha and Fate are fighting fiercely.

There are long-range shooting attacks as well as close-quarters combat.

However, it is clear that Nanoha's close combat skills are inferior to Fate's.

During a close-quarters combat encounter, Nanoha was sent flying by Fate, crashing through a building and nearly falling into the water.

Fortunately, Nanoha adjusted in time and flew close to the water's surface.

Fate caught up with her from behind.

"Photon Spirit Gun!"

Following closely behind Nanoha, Fate would occasionally unleash a ball of light beside her and shoot it towards Nanoha.

Nanoha was unable to retaliate against Fate's attacks and could only keep dodging the photon spears.

However, seizing an opportunity, Nanoha quickly ascended. Then, she made a sharp turn in the air and flew behind Fate.

"Celestial Spirit Bullet!"

The offense and defense then shifted, and several pink magic balls appeared around Nanoha, which Nanoha launched towards Fate.

Fate quickly turned around and dodged it.

However, compared to Fate's fast but straight-flying Photon Spirit Gun, Nanoha's Celestial Spirit Bullet had a tracking effect. After being dodged by Fate, it turned back and flew towards Fate again.

Lightning Battle Axe: "Scythe Mode!"

Seeing the Celestial Spirit Bullet turn back, Fate swung his Lightning Battle Axe and shattered it.

However, on the other side, Nanoha fired another Heavenly Spirit Bullet in Fate's direction.

As expected, Fate dodged the attack again. She then turned and charged at Nanoha, preparing for close combat.

Seeing Fate charging towards her, Nanoha immediately extended her right hand, unfolding a shield in front of her. Fate swung her Lightning Axe, striking Nanoha's shield.

A dazzling light flashed at the point where the magic clashed. Now it all depended on which side had greater strength and could last longer.

However, at that moment, the Heavenly Spirit Bullet that Nanoha had fired earlier turned back and shot towards Fate.

However, Fate noticed the attack and raised her other hand.

"Lightning Bolt, fire!"

With this sudden impact, Nanoha's shield was shattered, and she was sent flying, crashing into a building and being thrown underwater.

Then, facing the returning Divine Spirit Bullet, Fate simply tilted her head and dodged it.

Immediately, Fate landed on the top of the building that had been blasted open and looked down at the large amount of water vapor created by Nanoha's impact with the water's surface.

Just then, the water vapor suddenly spread out from its center, and at the same time, a pink beam of light shot towards where Fate was standing.

Fate quickly jumped up to avoid the attack.

Nanoha looked a bit disheveled and was panting heavily.

Rising Sun Heart: "She is stronger than you, it will be difficult to win."

"We're employing all our strategies and tactics, and we've even saved up a final trump card. All we can do is face it with unwavering faith. Right?"

Heart of the Rising Sun: "Yes, Master."

The second round of combat then began. The two exchanged blows, one chasing the other, and the other chasing the other. They fought back and forth, neither able to hit the other, and neither able to inflict any effective damage on the other.

However, relatively speaking, Nanoha's close combat ability is not as strong as Fate's. In close combat, Nanoha can be said to be quite badly suppressed by Fate.

However, Nanoha couldn't do anything about it and could only keep Fate at a distance and defend against Fate's close-range attacks from time to time.

Faced with the stalemate, Fate remained steadfast in her resolve.

"I can't lose here. If I lose here, I won't be able to save my mother."

"We can't go back to that time."

Fate could never forget the expression on Presia's face when she woke up. Presia looking at her with tears in her eyes.

Although she knew that the way he looked wasn't really hers, it was still the most unforgettable moment for him.

And now, Fate has finally seen her mother again, the one who exists in her memories. The mother who can show a gentle smile, and this time it's not for Alicia, but for Fate.

"So, I must win, I must save my mother, and then go back to her side."

Immediately, Fate turned to look at Nanoha in the distance. She raised her hand, and at the same time, a large number of magic orbs appeared around her, probably dozens at a glance.

Seeing Fate's actions, Nanoha knew that Fate was preparing to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.

Nanoha raised Rising Sun Heart to prepare for battle, but at that moment, two square yellow blocks suddenly locked Nanoha's hands.

The binding spell was set up by Fate, and it's unclear when she set it up. Anyway, Nanoha was affected, while Fate's attack was already prepared.

Fate raised her staff and aimed it in Nanoha's direction.

"Dense Array! Photon Spirit Gun - Starlight Spear!"

As Fate shouted, the orbs of light around her began firing photon lances.

In an instant, a massive number of photon spirit spears crashed towards Nanoha's location.

Nanoha erected a shield in front of herself, barely managing to block the attack.

However, seeing that the attack was ineffective, Fate raised her hand.

At this moment, the orbs of light that had been floating around Fate gathered in her hand and formed a lightning spear that was over ten meters long.

"Ultimate Lightning!"

Following a yellow trail.

This light gun, formed from a large amount of magical energy, shot directly at Nanoha.

When the light gun struck Nanoha's shield, the massive magical impact completely destroyed everything within a hundred meters of it.

Even Fate wasn't completely unscathed from such an attack. She was now panting heavily, her magic power severely depleted.

However, after the dust settled where Nanoha was, she was still floating in the air. This attack had not knocked her down, but she was not in good condition. Her protective suit had several holes in it.

Rising Sun Heart: "Can you still move, Master?"

"No problem, Heart of the Rising Sun."

As she spoke, Nanoha raised Rising Sun Heart.

Rising Sun Heart: "Artillery Mode!"

Fate was quite surprised to see Nanoha still standing.

However, just as Fate was about to rush towards Nanoha, she suddenly found herself unable to move.

"Binding straps? When...?"

It was only then that Fate finally realized what Nanoha had done before.

Even when Nanoha was being attacked by Fate, Nanoha still had the mind to spare a portion of her magic power to set this trap for herself.

At that moment, a huge surge of magical energy emanated from Nanoha's direction. In front of Rising Sun Heart, countless magical energies were gathered, gleaming with dazzling light.

"God breaks!"

Immediately, a pink beam of magic shot directly from Nanoha's direction towards Fate.

Fate then erected a shield in front of herself.

The attack lasted for several seconds, but Fate eventually managed to block it.

Although Fate's cloak flew off and her clothes were torn in several places after blocking the attack.

However, the matter was not over yet. The magic in the air was now gathering in one direction, and a dazzling light shone in the sky.

At this moment, all the magic power on the battlefield converged into the sky, forming a dazzling sphere of light.
