Type-Moon: Shinji Matou Also Wants to Be the Protagonist

With Mavis's understanding of alchemy, she could tell at a glance that the thing was physically fragile.

Let alone going through a fierce battle, the aftershocks of the collision between Mavis and the [Dragon Rider] would probably pulverize him.

"Give up resistance and return to the Kingdom of Edolas."

"As long as you are willing to return, you will still be Grand Duke Greengrass of the kingdom!"

Seeing Mebbs's reaction, Faust knew that his Plan B had achieved its goal.

When he spoke, that condescending tone returned.

Without hesitation, he proposed to Mebbes that he be recruited into the government, and even offered him very favorable terms.

Of course, only Faust himself knows whether he was sincere or not.

Faced with Faust's pretentious recruitment, Mebius grinned:

"Holy Lance: World of Sacred Stones!"

The ultimate form of the [Ten Commandments Spear] makes its grand debut.

A dazzling light burst forth from Mebis's hand, and in an instant, it was as if another sun had appeared in the sky.

The intense light instantly engulfed Faust's vision in a blinding white.

"not good!"

Faust was greatly shocked; Mebbes's reaction was not what he had expected.

'Could it be that Gringrass's purpose in collecting [Soul Anima] was to destroy it?'

Such a thought involuntarily surfaced in Faust's mind, causing him to hesitate for a moment.

In the instant he hesitated, a torrent of light carrying terrifying heat and light had already been unleashed by Mavis.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the [Dragon Rider].

The detection system of the [Dragon Rider] instantly turned completely red.

【Holy Lance - World of Holy Stones】is the strongest killing move of 【Ten Commandments Lance】, a super-powerful release of magic power.

The light-attribute magic makes this move extremely fast, highly penetrating, and accompanied by terrifying high temperatures.

But it is still magic, and as long as it is magic, the [Dragon Rider] can be immune to most of it, even if they cannot be immune.

But inside the cockpit, Faust, aside from his identity as king, was just an old man with a frail body.

Even the intense heat that seeped into the cockpit was enough to take half of Faust's life.

The situation was critical, leaving Faust no time to think of a solution; he could only make a decision instinctively.

He instinctively gripped the prism-shaped magic crystal tightly.

Then, the main cannon of the [Dragon Rider] roared to life.

The two streams of magic, gold and purple, collided high in the sky, plunging the entire world into silence.

A moment later, a deafening roar suddenly exploded.

The shockwave swept across the sky, tearing apart the clouds and creating a huge hole in the sky, revealing a pure blue expanse.

Using the recoil from the explosion, Mavis retreated rapidly, her wings swirling with magical energy.

[Dawn] formed a semi-transparent barrier around him, deflecting all the aftershocks.

She narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the center of the still-lingering turbulent magical energy—the [Dragon Rider] had not been destroyed.

Even though the reaction was rushed, the explosion was closer to the [Dragon Rider].

The steel dragon's armor was charred and mottled, and many of its floating cannons were completely silenced.

The left wing was broken in half, hanging haphazardly.

However, the core of the aircraft is still functioning, and the cockpit is intact.

Faust activated the emergency shield at the last minute, compressing the protective range of the anti-magic crystal.

They abandoned the protection of some areas of the [Dragon Rider] and shrank the magic-suppressing area inwards.

That's how it withstood the massive explosion caused by the combined attack of the [Holy Lance - Holy Stone World] and the [Dragon Rider] main cannon.

More importantly—that prismatic magic crystal.

It remained firmly held in the dragon claws of the [Dragon Rider].

"Greengrass!"

Faust's voice came through the loudspeaker, carrying the gasps of someone who had survived a close call and a forced air of authority.

"You're forcing me to destroy it!"

"By command of the spell, come back!"

Mebius ignored Faust's threat and focused on his own operation.

A crimson magical glow emanated from the back of Mavis's hand.

One of the three Command Seals dimmed completely.

But in exchange for a Command Seal, a small parrot familiar suddenly appeared between Mavis's horns.

Along with the parrot familiar, a diamond-shaped crystal also appeared.

It is the "magic USB drive" that stores the [Soul Anima].

The parrot familiar was scanning magic tomes at another hiding place when the battle began.

But after the battle started on Mebis's side, Mebis kept controlling it to rush this way.

Upon arriving nearby, Mebbes did not reveal the card.

Instead, it was used on the ground to provide intelligence support to Mavis using the [Magic Eye].

Mavis was able to handle the Dragon Riders' offensive with ease, thanks in no small part to the parrot's Magic Eye.

After Faust produced the "magic USB drive," Mavis realized that the time had come to use her familiar.

The familiar's [Aura Concealment], combined with Mavis deliberately drawing Faust's attention.

Finally, the familiar and the "magic USB drive" were both in the hands of the [Dragon Rider].

Next, he snatched the food from the tiger's mouth with just one Command Seal.

Chapter 341: Plan C

Taking the crystal from the familiar's wings, Mavis immediately immersed a portion of her spirit into it.

Then, a vast amount of information appeared before Mebius's eyes.

By comparing it with her own memories, Mavis found the parts that overlapped with the information she already possessed.

The other data, after cross-verification, are all true.

Having confirmed this, Mebbs finally breathed a sigh of relief; she could finally give an account to the "investors."

Having obtained the item, Mebius had no intention of continuing the conflict with Faust.

【Dragon Riders】As expected of the forbidden weapon of the Kingdom of Edolas, they are extremely troublesome.

Just from this one fight, Mavis lost almost all the magic crystals she had collected.

This isn't a fight, it's burning money.

"Bye-Bye!"

With a cheeky wave to Faust, Mebis turned around without hesitation and sped off into the distance.

But would Faust let her leave so easily?

You think...this is the end?

He growled in a low, hoarse voice, his tone a mixture of furious rage at being mocked and a barely perceptible tremor.

As Faust's voice rang out, a space within the large hole in the clouds above suddenly began to distort violently.

The moment the spatial distortion appeared, Mavis's fur stood on end like a cat with its fur standing on end.

The feeling of being locked onto by something terrifying clearly appeared in Mavis's mind.

Through the vision of the familiar above, Mavis also discovered a huge spatial distortion phenomenon in the sky.

"【Soul Anima】!"

A word slipped from Mebbes's mouth.

Although Mavis did not witness the activation of [Soul Anima] firsthand.

However, according to the records, this huge spatial distortion is a precursor to the activation of this hyperspace magic.

"Since you're unwilling to submit, then get out of my world!"

Faust's voice came from afar behind him.

Faust did not pursue Mebbis when he fled.

Because with the [Soul Anima] being taken by Mavis, Plan B has been declared bankrupt.

Therefore, Faust directly connected with Plan C.

If Plan B was a decoy to limit Greengrass, then Plan C was created specifically for this situation.

This action took place because of the prophecy that Mavis would become king.

Faust also wanted to become the king of the world, so he could not allow Mavis to continue to exist in this world.

His first intention, of course, was to physically eliminate Mebius directly.

The next best option is to bring Mebbies under our wing and deal with him gradually later.

Finally, after all the previous ideas had become impossible, Faust's final solution was—exile!

【Soul Anima】was created to plunder magic from other worlds.

But that doesn't mean it only has this one function.

By slightly adjusting the structure of the magic, its effect can be reversed, turning it into throwing a person or object directly out of this world.

Faust set the coordinates for the magic aiming on the magic crystal.

This is also why Faust subconsciously protected the magic crystal beforehand and did not destroy it immediately afterward.

Because Plan C only works if the magic is delivered to Mavis.

As long as Mavis is unwilling to give up [Soul Anima], she will only fall into this trap.

The only thing that bothered Faust was the cost of activating [Soul Anima].

Activating this super magic consumes more magic power than activating the [Dragon Rider].

In the past, when this magic was used, it was also possible to plunder resources from other worlds.

Even though, for unknown reasons, magic is always being interrupted in the other world.

But the magic was ultimately activated, so some gains were still possible.

At least there's no problem with breaking even.

But now, using magic on Mavis will not yield any magical gains.

Because the area affected by the magic is so large, some of the already limited magic power in this world will be lost during the banishment process.

That's an absolute rip-off!!

The activation of 【Soul Anima】 requires a period of charging.

During this period, if you have counter-magic, you may have a chance to stop the activation of the spell.

Unfortunately, only a handful of people currently know this method.

One of them is Faust, but it's obvious that the other party wouldn't pass on this knowledge to Mebius.

The other one is Gerald, Faust's son.

Unfortunately, Gerald is currently in Aslant, which is the other world that Faust mentioned.

All the magical interruptions that occurred in the kingdom before were actually the result of this prince's efforts in another world.

The remaining potential survivors are currently out of Mebius's reach.
