"Who is that guy? Is it a supporter newly sent by the Mage's Association bypassing us?"
After escaping the mirror space, Luvia immediately argued with Tohsaka Rin about the mysterious person who helped them block Saber's attack at the last moment.
"No, we have to go back and figure out who that guy is. We can't just give up Saber's card like this."
It was just that while Luvia was talking about going back, Tohsaka Rin had different thoughts.
After all, she had actually roughly guessed the identity of the comer.
Probably not someone from the Mage's Association. After all, there were different factional struggles within the Mage's Association and the Clock Tower, but even if they really sent someone over, they should have come to them first.
After all, the Tohsaka family was still the nominal manager of Fuyuki City.
Connecting to the diary that was just updated in the diary, she was 80% sure that that person was probably the true owner of the diary, the mysterious guy who called himself "Voldemort" in the diary.
And the main reason why her opinion conflicted with Luvia's was not that she didn't want to figure out the true identity of the diary writer, but that the other party knew too much about their intelligence, while she knew nothing about the other party's intelligence.
The other party knew the identities of herself, Illya, and Miyu, and was quite clear about their futures and even encounters in different worlds.
And what about her?
The other party's identity, origin, strength... completely unknown. She could only rely on the diary the other party wrote casually every day to judge a little bit of the other party's personality.
Communicating with such a person in this sudden situation, I'm afraid they would be the only ones suffering losses.
Her idea was not to leave just like this, but to figure out how to negotiate with the other party first.
Wait until the battle between the other party and Saber's card ended, and communicate with the other party after the other party left the mirror space.
But Luvia wanted to go back and participate in the battle between the other party and Saber again.
Illya and Miyu on the side were another scene.
It was hard enough to defeat Caster. This was indeed a happy thing.
But suddenly a more powerful Saber popped up, completely beating them back to their original form.
Couldn't compete in magic power. Their side wanted to play some tactics but couldn't cause substantial damage to the other party. The other party didn't need any operation at all; just relying on that incredibly irritable magic power could easily suppress the two of them.
They tried their best and only slightly distracted the other party for a few seconds, couldn't even buy time.
In the end, if a suddenly appearing stranger hadn't blocked the other party's offensive for them, they would probably have suffered some injuries from the other party's final attack.
"Can we really win against such a guy?" Illya touched the Class Card on her body with lingering fear.
That was an Archer Class Card. Unfortunately, she still hadn't mastered how to summon the other party's Noble Phantasm to fight.
Unlike Miyu, who could already skillfully use Caster and Rider's cards to fight.
Miyu was also silent, not knowing what she was thinking at this time.
In the end, Luvia lost her patience first: "No, I have to go in and see. If the other party can defeat Saber, we can't let the other party take the card away just like this. And if the other party can't beat Saber, we can't let the other party die in the mirror space like this."
"No matter what, we can at least figure out the other party's approximate strength. Or are you, Tohsaka, already starting to get scared and don't want to complete Zelretch's commission anymore?"
Although Tohsaka Rin completely didn't think that guy with mysterious strength would be defeated by Saber—since the other party took action at that time, he definitely had the confidence to defeat Saber.
She knew Luvia was also right. This mission was given to them by Zelretch. Even if the other party was that Voldemort who wrote the diary, they couldn't let him take these cards away easily.
It was just... looking at Illya with no confidence, silent Miyu, and overly confident Luvia, Tohsaka Rin sincerely felt that their group going back again was just delivering food.
"Then we have to be prepared. At least when the situation is not right, we can safely retreat immediately."
As the argument between Luvia and Tohsaka Rin ended here, the mirror space was another picture.
Black Saber's magic power output was very high, but unfortunately, it was also true that she had no brain.
Even if her magic power output at the moment of eruption was higher than Gojo Satoru's, if she had a bit of Gojo Satoru's brain, she wouldn't have fought like this now.
This wasn't the Saber blackened by the pollution of black mud in the HF route.
That Saber actually had a brain, and her combat IQ was not low. In the battle against Berserker and the final decisive battle later, it could be seen that the other party was not a wooden stake just shooting waves on the spot, and even had a certain rationality to communicate.
Although the guy in front looked like Black Saber, she was just an afterimage generated by the Class Card attached to the leyline. Her strength was different from the real Saber, just relying on magic power to bully little girls with no combat experience.
In the original work, Illya's inner personality was revealed, using Dreamlande to transform into a mini Archer, and projecting a pirated Excalibur to bombard the other party to win.
Not to mention Miyauchi Hikage here.
Originally, Miyauchi Hikage was still thinking about whether he needed to open Unlimited Blade Works to deal with Saber.
But after taking over, he realized it was unnecessary.
"Trace on," Chanting unnecessary suggestions casually, a brilliant holy sword gradually appeared in Miyauchi Hikage's hand.
Fighting Saber, Miyauchi Hikage's most important purpose was this holy sword.
That thing, the Class Card, required the assistance of the Holy Grail ritual. Even if obtained, it probably couldn't be reproduced in a short time.
But things like Noble Phantasms, even a Divine Construct like Excalibur, he could knock off with just one glance.
Although he couldn't exert its full power, he could at least use it to shoot light cannons.
Even if the cost-performance ratio was not as good as Broken Phantasm, its special effects were handsome.
And after obtaining the Jeweled Sword, Miyauchi Hikage didn't need to consider the cost-performance ratio so much in many places.
Being handsome is a lifelong matter.
Holding Excalibur with one hand on the right, and the Jeweled Sword with the left hand.
Dual-wielding Miyauchi Hikage, because he simultaneously reproduced Artoria's attribute panel and Zelretch's panel on himself, could feel various combat experiences pouring into his body now.
"Right, this is the true skill Saber should have, unlike this guy who only outputs standing still," Miyauchi Hikage muttered like this, and then started to beat up this Saber's afterimage using Saber's own skills.
It was also facing Miyauchi Hikage's oppressive force that she finally revealed some martial arts.
It was just too late at this step.
Miyauchi Hikage had already started treating her simply as a punching bag for practice.
After all, the newly mastered skills needed a durable punching bag as a sparring partner.
Tohru was definitely not that punching bag, because the other party treated him as a punching bag to play with.
Then naturally, he could only use Saber for practice.
This guy had strong recovery power and no brain. After beating almost enough, giving the other party some time to recover could recover almost completely. Maybe just a little worse than that well-known Greek good wooden stake Heracles.
When Luvia and the others made perfect preparations and waited outside for nearly half an hour, really unable to sit still and re-entered the mirror space, they saw this scene.
The teenager whose appearance couldn't be seen clearly, holding a golden sword of seemingly the same style but different color as Saber, was hammering Saber, while Saber could only submissively counterattack there.
It felt like the Saber fighting them was not the same person at all.
Instead, Ruby and Sapphire on the side let out a sound of surprise.
How did they feel the aura of Senior?
Looking closely, both of them started to sweat a little.
It really was the Jeweled Sword.
Both of them were Mystic Codes made based on the Jeweled Sword.
Although many of the old man's whimsical ideas were added during the production process, and they also possessed power similar to the Jeweled Sword.
But they knew themselves that there were still many differences in performance between them and the real Jeweled Sword.
The other was the weapon the old man used most often. They were just small toys made by the old man out of interest. How could there be no gap in performance between the two?
And they naturally couldn't mistake the Jeweled Sword.
There's no mistake. What that teenager is holding is the genuine Jeweled Sword.
But shouldn't the Jeweled Sword be in the hands of old man Zelretch? Why would it suddenly appear in the hands of this guy?
Could he be the old man's illegitimate child, and the old man passed his Jeweled Sword to him?
The two Mystic Codes speculated about Zelretch's private matters like this, naturally not avoiding Luvia and Tohsaka Rin and the others on the side.
"Genuine Jeweled Sword?" Tohsaka Rin looked at the other sword in the teenager's hand, which didn't look so conspicuous, but was indeed crystal clear enough as a jewel sword.
The fate of their Tohsaka family and Zelretch came from a blueprint of the Jeweled Sword left by the other party in the Tohsaka family hundreds of years ago.
As long as someone in the Tohsaka family could reproduce it, Zelretch would personally accept the other party as a disciple.
Unfortunately, no one had been able to do it for so many years.
Including Tohsaka Rin, who had outstanding talent and could rank in the top 100 in the history of the Clock Tower, couldn't do it either currently.
In the next moment, Tohsaka Rin, who guessed how this guy got the Jeweled Sword, showed an expression of envy in her eyes.
"This guy's luck is really good, actually being able to get something like the Jeweled Sword by writing a diary..."
Looking at the two people trading sword qi waves in the center of the battlefield, destroying most of the environment in the mirror space, Tohsaka Rin could naturally also see that the other party was completely using the other party for practice with a playful attitude.
Illya, who originally felt completely ignorant of how to fight Saber, couldn't help sighing seeing Miyauchi Hikage's effortless appearance.
"So amazing... I'm afraid he alone can complete the collection of cards, right?"
Luvia, hearing this, felt she lost face, and hurriedly added: "That's because Sapphire and the others refused to return to me. If we were allowed to transform, we wouldn't have much trouble dealing with this guy."
Miyauchi Hikage, who was practicing with Saber not far away, could naturally also feel the return of Luvia and the others, and also heard their discussion.
So he waved his hand, and a string of Black Rope enough for Miguel's country to weave for decades temporarily bound Saber. Even with the other party's magic power, it would take some time to break through the interference of so many Black Ropes.
"Yo, you're back again. Do you want to snatch Saber's card with me?"
Miyauchi Hikage greeted them with a smile.
At this time, he had the interference of Yellow Temperance and Wonder of U on him, and outsiders couldn't see through his true appearance.
Of course, his figure and hairstyle hadn't changed much, just simply changed his hair color from blue to black.
If Tohsaka Rin living in Fuyuki City could really discover him located in Tokyo from these details, then he would have to applaud Tohsaka Rin's reasoning ability.
When Miyauchi Hikage stopped to face them, several girls were trying to use their own power to see through the disguise on the other party.
That erratic appearance was obviously impossible to be real. The other party must have used some method to adjust his appearance.
It was just that the girls didn't have abilities like Mystic Eyes, and it was completely impossible to see through Miyauchi Hikage's disguise.
After confronting for a few seconds, Luvia still asked Miyauchi Hikage.
"Who are you? Why are you holding the Jeweled Sword? Are you also a person sent by Zelretch to recover cards?"
Miyauchi Hikage looked at the Jeweled Sword in his hand: "Although I would also like to have some relationship with that Marshal of Wizardry, unfortunately, I obtained this Jeweled Sword through other channels, and it has no connection with Zelretch."
"As for my identity, Miss Luvia, you can treat me as a traveler from another world."
Listening to Miyauchi Hikage's explanation, Luvia might not quite understand what this meant, but Tohsaka Rin could already confirm that the other party was that Voldemort.
After all, the other party stated his origin as a person from another world in the very first diary.
So she snatched before Luvia and asked the other party: "So why do you want to acquire Class Cards? What do you know?"
"I don't necessarily have to acquire Class Cards, just feel that this power is somewhat interesting, so I came over to study it," Miyauchi Hikage spread his hands, and then continued speaking to Tohsaka Rin, "As for what I know, that depends on what you want to know."
Miyauchi Hikage paused, and then looked at the Kaleidoscope Wands in the hands of Illya and Miyu: "I just heard Miss Luvia say that if she could still transform, she could easily solve the matter here."
"Then let's make a bet."
"You guys transform into magical girls to fight Saber. If you can win, then Saber's card will be given to you, and I can also tell you what you want to know." Miyauchi Hikage said this to Tohsaka Rin.
"If you lose, I won't take these cards either, just lend them to me to study for a period of time."
