Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: I'll Accept the Class Cards First

Immediately after, in an extremely short time, he found the defensive means most commonly used by Archer from the newly received projection data.

He raised his hand, and a pink shield with seven petals appeared in front of Tohsaka Rin and Luvia, who hadn't reacted yet.

"Rho Aias (The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens)." The bronze shield made of seven layers of oxhide used by the hero Aias in the Trojan War, which blocked Hector's javelin, thus sublimated into a Conceptual Weapon specifically against thrown weapons.

Miyauchi Hikage thought of the scenes where this petal shield was broken through more than once in Archer's hands. Especially facing Saber's unreserved Noble Phantasm output, a simple petal shield might not be able to completely block this attack.

So in this petal shield, Miyauchi Hikage also mixed in a little Black Rope used to interfere with the precision of techniques to further improve its defensive ability.

It just seemed that the magic power output of this Saber afterimage was indeed no match for the real Black Saber.

In the HF route, during the battle with Black Saber, the projected petal shield was completely shattered just after blocking the first wave of Excalibur's output.

Later, relying on Rider's Noble Phantasm and the magic power provided by Sakura, they barely gained an upper hand in the Noble Phantasm clash.

However, now, as a black light cannon surged from the bottom of the river with an aura of destruction and crashed into the petal shield projected by Miyauchi Hikage, it directly lost that seemingly unstoppable momentum.

Under the clash of a round of Noble Phantasms, only two petals of the seven petals of the petal shield were damaged by this Noble Phantasm.

Even if Miyauchi Hikage's Projection Magecraft was stronger in quality than Archer's essence, it couldn't completely reproduce the original version to such an extent.

It could only be said that compared to real Servants, the remnants of these Servants indeed had many shortcomings in strength.

Especially for a TOP-level Servant like Artoria, their power level was obviously far above ordinary special-grades in this era.

And facing this sudden change, the two girls who were standing on the spot feeling complacent were instantly speechless.

After all, they had already started celebrating victory, thinking that no one could survive under their offensive just now.

Who knew that Saber could really survive under the magic power bombardment that was enough to change the terrain of the mirror space just now, and even issue such a terrifying attack at them from the bottom of the river?

What's even more outrageous is, how did this mysterious guy do it?

It had been a while since they got the Class Cards, and following Zelretch's teachings, they mastered the ability of Include with these Class Cards, temporarily summoning the opponent's Noble Phantasm for a sure-kill attack.

But how did this mysterious teenager now master a more advanced summoning method than them?

"Dreamlande (Install)?" Tohsaka Rin stared blankly at the tall figure in red and black standing not far away.

For some reason, she vaguely felt an intimate flavor from this figure.

It was as if she had seen the other party before.

It was just that she carefully recalled but couldn't find the memory of this figure in her memory.

"So, this is the true usage of Class Cards, directly applying the power of the Heroic Spirit to oneself, making oneself a Heroic Spirit too?" Luvia beside Tohsaka Rin reacted faster and made such an inference.

And compared to Illya's loss, looking at this red figure whose face couldn't be seen clearly, Miyu also felt familiar.

She was the one who knew these Class Cards best among the four.

After all, she was originally going to be used as a sacrifice for the Holy Grail ritual by the Ainsworth family.

It was her brother who personally participated in the Holy Grail War, defeated all opponents to win the Holy Grail War, and brought all the Class Cards to save her, allowing her to come to this world.

Including before she came to this world, her brother's last battle with the other party was a battle between Archer and Archer.

Therefore, seeing this man excavate the true usage of Class Cards so easily, turning into an appearance somewhat similar to her brother's figure, she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment.

Shouldn't be pursuers from Ainsworth, right? At least the other party wouldn't ignore her existence so much.

Miyu thought so in her heart, while her eyes continued to stare tightly at the other party's back.

And on Miyauchi Hikage's side.

Dreamlande was indeed very strong, allowing a person to directly possess Heroic Spirit-level power, but this thing really ate up one's own constitution.

Because such power applied the Heroic Spirit's power to oneself, as long as this state was maintained, the Heroic Spirit's power would constantly erode one's own body.

According to the Emiya Shirou (Miyu's brother) of Miyu's world, in the process of repeatedly borrowing Archer's power, his own body was also being replaced by the body of Heroic Spirit Emiya.

In the original work, his hair color and skin color had been quite seriously eroded, so even without the Class Card, with the magic power support of his sister, he could still exert the power of Heroic Spirit Emiya, and further display the Snow Moon version of Unlimited Blade Works belonging only to him.

This kind of erosion also existed for the current Miyauchi Hikage.

It was just that Miyauchi Hikage's current constitution was no longer mortal, reaching the level of an immortal. This level of erosion couldn't cause any impact on Miyauchi Hikage's body at all.

At the same time, because Miyauchi Hikage possessed a higher-level Unlimited Blade Works, it was not the power of Heroic Spirit Emiya changing Miyauchi Hikage's body, but Miyauchi Hikage's body devouring the power essence of Heroic Spirit Emiya.

All of the other party's projection data, traces of battles in countless eras, and combat experience became nourishment for Miyauchi Hikage's body at this moment.

And to further adapt to this power.

Miyauchi Hikage certainly needed an unreserved battle.

"So, if I didn't intervene, you should have been injured by Saber's attack just now, right? Even with the protection of the Kaleidoscope Wands, barely letting you survive such an attack, you certainly couldn't continue fighting in a short time, right?"

Miyauchi Hikage looked at Tohsaka Rin and Luvia.

Facing Miyauchi Hikage's calm inquiry, the two girls were speechless and could only admit their defeat.

"It's a pity, it seems I can't answer your questions. Work hard next time."

"But for now, I can only ask you to leave here. Saber's card and Archer's card will be kept with me for a while for research."

"But don't worry, before you go to fight Assassin and Berserker in a few days, I should almost be done studying these cards, and I will return them to you then."

Saying this, Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand, and a teleportation magic circle to leave the mirror space appeared under the feet of the girls.

In the end, Miyauchi Hikage looked at Miyu, who had been staring deeply at him, and showed a friendly smile to the other party.

This smile contained many things. Miyu could feel that there was no malice in the smile the other party looked at her with.

But similarly, the other party's appearance seemed to have completely seen through her background.

Then, the four of them were teleported out of the mirror space together and returned to reality again.

"Damn it, damn it, clearly I prepared so many magic circles, it was still a little bit short, didn't directly solve that Saber, and had to see that guy's arrogant appearance."

Just back to reality, Luvia started complaining as if venting.

However, she was not complaining about Miyauchi Hikage, but herself for not being fully prepared.

After all, all this was indeed caused by their underestimation of Saber's defense. If they had prepared a little more time, maybe using the power of Class Cards for Include, they actually had a high probability of defeating Saber.

She couldn't vent to Miyauchi Hikage, who had determined the bet in advance, not to mention the other party really helped them block Saber's attacks twice. Naturally, she could only complain about herself now.

In comparison, Tohsaka Rin's reaction was much calmer.

"Calm down, Luvia. Didn't that person say he just needed the Class Cards for research for a while, and when he's almost done, he will return them to us? I think with his ability, he shouldn't need to lie to us about these things."

"I know, I know," Luvia said gritting her teeth, "But it's still very upsetting."

Too many things happened tonight that exceeded her control.

Caster almost going out of control, Saber suddenly appearing powerfully, the mysterious powerful teenager holding the Jeweled Sword, the bet that was almost won.

In just over half an hour, her mood had experienced several ups and downs. Now she indeed had to vent her emotions.

"Then, should we report this to the Clock Tower?"

Tohsaka Rin asked Luvia.

Luvia rolled her eyes grumpily.

"Originally, Zelretch handing this matter over to the two of us to handle already made some factions inside the Clock Tower dissatisfied. If we report this matter, do you think we can still stay here to execute the recovery mission?"

Tohsaka Rin retorted: "Since you know this, then cheer up. There are still two cards not recovered. What we should think about now is what exactly was that power that guy showed just now?"

"Dreamlande (Install). If we can directly use such power, the recovery work of the remaining two cards will probably be very simple, right?" After all, looking at Miyauchi Hikage's effortless control without any pressure, it was natural for them to want to try it.

"Although the Archer and Saber cards were taken away by the other party, we still have Lancer, Rider, and Caster cards in our hands. This should be enough, right?"

After Luvia was depressed for a while, she finally regained some vitality.

"Okay, starting tomorrow, we have to figure out what that power of Dreamlande is all about!"

Saying this, she didn't forget to remind the Sapphire in her hand: "Sapphire, you will also assist us, right?"

However, she was disappointed again.

As she said this sentence, the Sapphire in her hand easily broke free from her hand and directly expressed a denial attitude.

"Sorry, Luvia-sama, my true master now is Miyu-sama. You still have guest authority. This hasn't changed."

The more lively Ruby also began to complain along: "Yes, yes, after all, it was the request of the Jeweled Sword holder. We could only reluctantly follow his instructions and cooperate with you again. Although your performance in battle had no big problems, after all, you still failed the bet in the end. So we naturally have to return to our true masters."

Saying this, they flew directly back to Illya and Miyu.

Seeing this scene, Tohsaka Rin, whose emotions could barely remain stable originally, couldn't hold it back anymore.

However, thinking of what Miyauchi Hikage wrote in the diary, she temporarily suppressed her emotions and said to the two little girls: "Anyway, let's stop here for tonight. So many things happened today, and it's getting late. You'd better go back and rest early. When you've rested well tomorrow, I still have some things to confirm with you."

Tohsaka Rin's words were directed at Illya and Miyu.

Although the two girls didn't know the situation, seeing Tohsaka Rin's suddenly serious appearance, they could only nod to indicate no problem.

Saying this, she also pulled Luvia, who was still staring at the location of the mirror space: "Let's go. Don't tell me you still want to wait here until the other party comes out?"

"Since he could enter the mirror space quietly without us noticing, then similarly he can certainly leave the mirror space quietly. I think you probably won't be able to wait for him."

Tohsaka Rin was right; they indeed couldn't wait for Miyauchi Hikage.

Because after sending away Tohsaka Rin and her group, Miyauchi Hikage had already completely defeated Saber with a double light cannon at extremely fast speed.

As Saber's card fell into his hand, Miyauchi Hikage also understood the usage of these two cards in an instant.

Even he could do what Illya did later, using the Berserker and Rider cards simultaneously for Dreamlande to summon Gorgon.

And on Miyauchi Hikage's side, relying on his familiarity and compatibility with Heroic Spirit Emiya, he could completely apply Saber's class characteristics to Heroic Spirit Emiya.

After trying simply, he waved to Tohsaka Rin.

"Come and try my new power with me. This time I finally have a lot of new toys to test in my Blade Works."

Saying this, before the mirror space gradually faded, Miyauchi Hikage expanded Unlimited Blade Works one step ahead, pulling Tohru into his world again.
