It was obvious that both Luvia and Tohsaka Rin were very interested in Miyauchi Hikage's proposal.
After all, looking at the strength of both sides now, it was clear that Miyauchi Hikage far exceeded them.
The four of them together couldn't cause any substantial damage to Saber, while Miyauchi Hikage could easily crush Saber, and could now casually bind Saber up to chat with them.
Tohsaka Rin and Luvia could both see that Miyauchi Hikage was far from using his true skills, just using Saber for practice.
Moreover, the other party had the Jeweled Sword in his left hand and a holy sword from nowhere in his right hand. It would be difficult for the two of them to cause any damage to the other party in such an encounter.
It was also impossible to let them just give up the Saber card like this.
After all, this involved the mission given to them by Zelretch, and whether they could be accepted as disciples by Zelretch.
Although there was competition between the two of them, it was internal competition that would only appear under the condition of ensuring they could complete the mission.
When facing pressure from the outside world, the two of them would still unite to face the outside together.
It seemed like this was the situation now.
Tohsaka Rin and Luvia looked at each other and quickly understood each other's meaning.
Miyauchi Hikage claimed he had no interest in cards, just wanted to study them. Who knows how long this study would take?
But since the other party proposed this bet, it seemed to be an opportunity.
As long as they could defeat Saber, then according to the bet, the other party had to obediently hand over the Saber card, and would also answer their questions.
Tohsaka Rin had many questions she wanted to know from the other party's mouth.
For example, the entire process of the Holy Grail War ten years ago, the truth of her father's death, the situation of Illya and Miyu, and so on.
The only problem was that they couldn't use the Kaleidoscope Wands to transform now.
Luvia stated their current situation.
"Due to some special circumstances, we cannot use the Kaleidoscope Wands now. If you want to bet with us, you have to ensure we have a way to transform, right?"
Miyauchi Hikage looked at Luvia, and then turned to look at Illya and Miyu in their magical girl states.
The Kaleidoscope Wands in their hands also seemed to feel the oppressive force from Miyauchi Hikage.
Especially the genuine Jeweled Sword in the other party's hand gave them completely substantial pressure.
"Then give them temporary guest authority and let me see the power of Magical Girls Luvia and Tohsaka Rin. Otherwise, I can only take the Saber card away," Miyauchi Hikage made a request to the two Kaleidoscope Wands.
"Actually... knowing the guest login mode," The Kaleidoscope Wands originally wanted to grit their teeth and hold on a bit longer, but the other party directly exposed their trump card. The two Kaleidoscope Wands communicated with each other.
Collecting cards was indeed the mission of these two jewels. If they couldn't complete the mission, they would probably have to return to the box for a long time without seeing the light of day.
In comparison, although they didn't want to return to the hands of Tohsaka Rin and Luvia, these two guys indeed had some strength.
If Illya and Miyu could only exert a little more than half of their power, then the two of them could already exert seventy or eighty percent of their power.
Although they might still not compare to the output power of the original Jeweled Sword, dealing with a mindless Saber was not a big problem.
"Although very reluctant, considering the special circumstances, we will temporarily satisfy your request."
After negotiating with Illya and Miyu, and both sides having no objections, the two jewels transferred to Tohsaka Rin and Luvia, constructing magical girl armaments on them.
On Illya and Miyu, their magical girl appearances were classic costumes conforming to the girl style.
But on older magical girls like Tohsaka Rin and Luvia, it turned into another style similar to their usual clothing style, just with a pair of cat ears on their heads as decoration.
Even these cat ears had their own perception and would wave autonomously in battle.
Miyauchi Hikage casually took out his phone and took a photo of these two cat-girl magical girls as a souvenir.
Although Tohsaka Rin was an electronics idiot, she still knew the other party was taking photos of the two of them. Her face instantly turned red, telling Miyauchi Hikage to quickly delete the photos and not allowed to spread these things.
"Then it depends on whether you can defeat Saber," Miyauchi Hikage said so, and his figure began to become erratic. The next moment, the Black Ropes originally binding Saber dissipated. Full of anger and unable to find Miyauchi Hikage, Saber naturally could only vent her anger on Tohsaka Rin and Luvia.
It was just that after transforming into magical girls, the two of them were indeed more confident than before.
With greatly increased output, they had no emotion of evasion. Just a simple eye contact and they exchanged their thoughts, confirming the combat plan.
Illya on the side also wanted to hand the Archer card in her hand to Tohsaka Rin, but only got a reminder from Tohsaka Rin to stay away and not get close.
"Then, it's our turn," Exhaling a breath, Tohsaka Rin in full state made a provocative gesture to Saber.
At the moment Saber launched an attack on them, the wand in her hand also turned into a sword-wand stance and faced the menacing Saber head-on.
The black holy sword and the sword-wand touched, sparks bursting out.
Even if the output was much larger than Illya and the others, in terms of strength parameter, she was indeed not as powerful as Saber at this time.
It could be clearly seen that in the clash between the sword blade and the sword-wand, Tohsaka Rin fell to a disadvantage.
"Really shouldn't have a close combat clash with a swordsman," Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth and held on.
She didn't know how that guy's strength parameter could suppress Saber. Was this the gap between the two of them?
Unwilling to admit defeat just like this, Tohsaka Rin continued to grit her teeth, further increasing her own magic power output, attempting to use her own taijutsu to suppress Saber.
It's a pity that in the battle with Miyauchi Hikage, Saber, who had been suppressed for too long, was forced to recover some of her sword skills. Now it was Tohsaka Rin's turn to fight, and with her taijutsu, she naturally couldn't gain any advantage over Saber here.
After less than a few rounds of fighting, Tohsaka Rin was forced to reveal a flaw in the clash. Saber easily knocked away the sword-wand in the other party's hand and launched a heavy strike at the other party's body.
It seemed that the next moment, Tohsaka Rin's body would be cut in two.
And just when Illya, who was watching from the side, was about to scream out loud because of this, Tohsaka Rin didn't panic, but completed the transfer of magic power in the shortest time, converting all the magic power of the Kaleidoscope Wand into magic power protection, blocking the path of the opponent's attack.
As the sword blade chopped on her, it made a dull sound of striking iron, as if hacking on extremely hard metal.
Tohsaka Rin successfully blocked the opponent's attack. Just looking at her somewhat grimacing appearance, one could tell she wasn't actually unscathed.
But this was enough. Suffering a minor injury in exchange for an opportunity to suppress Saber was worth it.
Tohsaka Rin stuck Saber's sword blade with magic power, while the wand in her hand began to gather magic power, firing a full-power magic cannon bombardment at Saber's head.
Of course, a bombardment of this level couldn't cause much damage to Saber herself.
But it was enough to delay a little time.
At least until now, Saber's attention had been completely attracted by Tohsaka Rin, completely unaware that slightly further away, Luvia was speeding up the deployment of magic circles.
"Although their strength is indeed average, these magic circles are indeed somewhat interesting. You can still see a lot of thought in them," Tohru commented to Miyauchi Hikage.
Although far inferior in scale to Caster's funnels that occupied the whole sky, their individual power was far superior to individual magic funnels.
Tohru looked at these magic circles with interest, trying to turn the other party's techniques into her own means.
"Although they are still young, their talent is indeed very good. Placed in the Clock Tower, which is the largest magic teaching institution in this world, they can be considered the group with the highest talent in the current generation."
Miyauchi Hikage explained to Tohru.
Tohsaka Rin's talent ranked in the top 100 in the history of the Clock Tower. Luvia, relying on her family background, was slightly stronger than the current Tohsaka Rin. As deadly rivals, the two could be considered half a pound and eight ounces (evenly matched) in terms of talent.
One Lady Forklift, one Devil Muscle Rin.
Even their taste in men was almost identical.
"Clock Tower, huh. Seems like I can go take a look if I have the chance," Tohru muttered like this, keeping this place in mind.
And on the battlefield, Tohsaka Rin had been fighting Saber for a while relying on her own defense.
Although the damage Saber's attacks caused to her was higher than the damage she caused to Saber, with Luvia's look from afar, she knew her job was done.
Forcefully taking the opponent's attack again, Tohsaka Rin blasted the opponent away with magic power again, keeping a safe distance from the opponent. She held her waist, rubbing the injury there to heal it.
"With so much preparation time, if you still can't solve her, then it's your problem."
"Don't worry, I didn't waste the time you bought," Luvia's expression became much more relaxed.
Then as dozens of magic circles floated from the ground to behind the two of them, this had reached their current output limit.
"The magic power loading has been completely finished. Every magic circle has power not inferior to the liberation of a Noble Phantasm. Dealing with a mindless Saber is naturally a piece of cake," Luvia stated confidently.
"The winner of this bet will only be us," Luvia couldn't observe Miyauchi Hikage's position, but still issued a "declaration of victory" loudly.
"Then, let all this end!" Tohsaka Rin held the wand, matching Luvia's magic circles, launching a super-large magic bombardment towards Saber's position.
"This power is almost comparable to your ten consecutive Broken Phantasms," looking at the damage caused by this magic bombardment to the inside of the shadow space, Tohru evaluated like this.
"The effect is about the same. However, although I used a special-grade Cursed Tool, there is still a difference between a special-grade Cursed Tool and a high-tier Noble Phantasm."
Miyauchi Hikage gestured to Tohru with the holy sword in his hand.
"Using this thing for Broken Phantasm is much more powerful than the Broken Phantasm of the Soul Liberation Blade I used before. And that Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword that almost killed me, if I use that guy to launch a complete Broken Phantasm, one shot can equal the power of ten consecutive Broken Phantasms."
It was just that the Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword could only project one at a time, far less convenient than the Soul Liberation Blade, so Miyauchi Hikage usually used the most cost-effective Soul Liberation Blade for Broken Phantasms.
But now Miyauchi Hikage had evolved to the era of light cannons. Projecting a dozen holy swords to release light cannons behind his back would also not be much inferior in power.
"It's just that although the power of these bombardments is great, they were dispersed a lot by Saber's magic power. If the power could be more concentrated, it might really directly kill Saber," Miyauchi Hikage shook his head, seeing through the Eye of Destiny at a glance Saber being knocked into the riverbed but not dissipating directly into a card.
Although Saber's defense was not as outrageous as Berserker's, it was considered durable in the original work.
Almost pierced in the heart by Gae Bolg at the start, almost cut in half fighting Berserker, and had different hard battles in different routes later.
Especially after being polluted by black mud, being thick-skinned was shown vividly and thoroughly.
Looking at the few people who were already celebrating victory, Miyauchi Hikage shook his head regretfully.
"I have already held back a lot. The other party is indeed much more cautious than the original development. I remember they didn't prepare so many magic circles for bombardment originally, but in the end, it still falls short of success," Miyauchi Hikage muttered like this, looking at Saber rapidly gathering magic power at the bottom of the water to recover and preparing to liberate her Noble Phantasm, and quietly stood beside Illya and Miyu.
Seeing Miyauchi Hikage reappear, Tohsaka Rin and Luvia also showed a smug look: "Hey, how is it? Didn't we easily solve that guy? Shouldn't you admit defeat?"
Miyauchi Hikage shrugged: "I actually really don't care about winning or losing, but the problem is, do you think you really defeated the other party?"
Miyauchi Hikage signaled them to take a good look at the surrounding environment: "This space hasn't shown signs of self-collapse yet, right?"
Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's words, Tohsaka Rin just realized it was bad, but was still a step too late.
More violent magic power than before emerged from the riverbed. By the time they realized it, they could no longer stop the other party from attacking.
"It looks like you lost. Then, let me borrow your card first," saying this, Miyauchi Hikage patted the still dazed Illya's head, and then drew the Archer card from the other party's hand.
As soon as he got it, that familiar feeling made him feel an intimate flavor.
"It's the same power as the Unlimited Blade Works I possess," Miyauchi Hikage sighed, and then relying on the Analysis Eye and Eye of Destiny, easily analyzed the way to completely liberate this card.
"Then I will also follow the procedure once," Miyauchi Hikage held the card and said to Illya beside him, "Watch carefully, this is the true usage of Class Cards."
As a magic circle emerged under Miyauchi Hikage's feet, Miyauchi Hikage softly chanted "Dreamlande" (Install).
Subsequently, the Class Card in his hand shattered, and the magic power flow converged on his body, finally forming Archer's iconic red and black tight clothing and coat.
Even his hair color was changed to white under the influence of this power, which also represented that his compatibility with this card was unexpectedly high.
At the same time, in this instant, the memories of countless projections emerged in his heart.
Miyauchi Hikage finally successfully docked with the projection data from Archer, and replicated these data one-to-one into his own Blade Works!
