Seeing that Ilya was still showing hostility, the girl, whose entire body was covered in gold, sighed helplessly.
Even so, she seems to be lacking in some way, since she hasn't shown any expression so far.
Moreover, it doesn't seem like she's suppressing her emotions, which is probably an innate defect.
"Little Black! Buy me some time!"
"no problem!"
Although she readily agreed, Chloe had no intention of defeating the two people in front of her.
The gap between the two sides, in terms of both practical experience and combat capability, is enormous...
Although Chloe believed her combat experience far surpassed Ilya's, she felt utterly helpless against the two of them, like a newborn infant.
"In that case..."
Since we can't defeat the opponent anyway, there's no point in thinking about what would happen if we actually managed to win Miyu back.
Why not give it your all and entrust everything to Miyu, everything to—Illya?
"Are you really not going to return Miyu?"
Chloe knew the answer, of course, but she still clung to a sliver of impossible hope, however...
"It's no use talking more."
The other party's answer completely extinguished Chloe's last glimmer of hope, leaving her with only one choice.
"Alright, then I'll show you my true skills."
"You must be at your limit by now. Although you were only affected by the Thunder God Storm, it was enough to paralyze you."
"Your arm must have just regained feeling, right? At 5.1 meters old, what makes you think you can stand in front of us?"
"Oh, you're so kind as to tell me your abilities because you're afraid I can't win?"
The opponent doesn't seem to care about revealing their Noble Phantasm at all; in this situation, there's only one possibility.
"After all, I've never taken you seriously. After all, you can't even beat Beatrice, let alone me."
"You're really confident. You'll regret this."
They pointed their weapons at the two people in front of them, but it seemed that only the petite girl, referred to by the other person as Beatrice, intended to make a move.
Chapter 392: Two-sword style
Take a deep breath and then slowly exhale.
At this moment, Chloe's aura changed. Her eyes seemed devoid of any extra emotion, focusing solely on the enemy before her, the target she was to eliminate.
"Oh? It seems it's not just talk."
Angelica, don't do it...
However, before Beatrice could finish her sentence, Chloe had already rushed in front of her in the blink of an eye.
"Close combat!? Aren't you an archer?"
Beatrice was taken aback when she saw Chloe rushing towards her. She quickly held her giant hammer horizontally in front of her to block the attack.
"Who says archers can't fight in melee!"
At this moment, the bow and arrows in Chloe's hand had long since disappeared, replaced by a black dagger.
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, Beatrice swung the giant hammer in her hand with all her might, despite how heavy the weapon looked.
However, she controlled it with such skill that she didn't appear clumsy at all.
Even so, Chloe still has the advantage in close combat.
"Left-handed? That's a bit tricky."
Beatrice couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement as she watched Chloe wield the weapon in her left hand.
In most things, left-handed people have a natural advantage.
Since most people are actually right-handed, most of their enemies also use their right hand to attack.
The combat awareness developed as a result is mostly suited for fighting right-handed people, so when facing left-handed enemies...
Beatrice's defense appeared slightly stiff, but after all, her giant hammer was normally used for mid-range combat, although the Noble Phantasm also possessed considerable ranged combat capabilities.
However, most ranged attacks require a significant drain on magic power, so Beatrice generally doesn't use them lightly.
However, the situation is completely different from what she imagined, since Chloe initially adopted the stance of an archer.
So she let her guard down, but she didn't expect her opponent to be so outstanding in close combat as well.
Even as a swordsman, no one would doubt her abilities, so at this moment, Beatrice was a little wary of Chloe.
Even so, there is still an insurmountable gap between the two sides.
Beatrice swung her giant hammer at Chloe again, trying to discourage her and create distance.
However, Chloe was not so easy to deal with; instead of retreating, she advanced.
Facing Beatrice's massive hammer, just as it was about to strike her...
Chloe immediately leaned back, and the giant hammer grazed past her clothes.
"Ah."
However, at that moment, Beatrice gave a cold laugh.
A bad feeling instantly enveloped Chloe, but she now had an enormous advantage.
So Chloe didn't retreat because of this bad feeling; instead, she closed in on her opponent even faster. However, in the next moment...
"The Lock of Heaven".
"So this is ah."
Suddenly, the sound of chains echoed in the previously empty space. After sensing the source of the strangeness, Chloe's left hand glowed.
Clang—a crisp metallic sound suddenly rang out, and a white dagger suddenly appeared in Chloe's right hand.
"How despicable! He's clearly a dual-wielder but he's hiding it."
Upon seeing Chloe wielding weapons in both hands, Beatrice didn't hold back in uttering sarcastic remarks.
"Heh, you're the despicable one. You said you wanted to fight me one-on-one, but someone interfered halfway through."
Chloe turned her gaze to Angelica, a hint of anger in her voice.
However, the source of this anger may not be solely due to...
The chains that just appeared from the sky were released by Angelica, who had been watching her and Beatrice's fight from the sidelines.
The chains now seemed to possess a life of their own, coiling around Angelica.
"I never said I wanted to fight you one-on-one. I just told Angelica not to make a move."
Her actions don't need to be influenced by me, so this is entirely wishful thinking on your part.
Although the reasons were somewhat unreasonable, Chloe had no intention of arguing with the other party.
"By the way, your Dream Summoning..."
For some reason, Beatrice looked at Chloe with a strange gaze.
Chloe felt goosebumps rise on her back from being stared at like that.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter."
However, Beatrice waved her hand as if giving up after only thinking halfway through her plan.
"Things that require thinking aren't for me, so—"
A dangerous smile crept across Beatrice's lips; she seemed to have remembered something pleasant, her excitement barely concealed.
Chapter 393: A Reasonable Judgment
"—Linglong, I'll kill you half to death first!"
He raised his weapon high once more, feeling the immense magical power gathering within him.
Chloe couldn't help but swallow hard.
"This is not a good sign."
"Shatter Thor's hammer to pieces!"
Magic imbued with the power of lightning emanated from the giant hammer in her hand, though she had not yet launched a real attack.
But even just the overflowing magic made Chloe's hands and feet feel numb.
"Leave the rest to me, Blackie."
At this moment, Ilya's voice finally rang out again, but it was as faint as a whisper.
After careful listening, Chloe realized that it was Ilya's voice, but in that moment of stunned silence...
A figure rushed out, and even Chloe couldn't quite make out the person's appearance.
"Oh, this is finally starting to get interesting."
Faced with this situation, Beatrice's emotions seemed to be stirred up instead.
Boom! Suddenly, the ground collapsed by ten centimeters. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Beatrice had placed the giant hammer horizontally in front of her to block Ilya's attack.
......
"and then?"
Upon hearing Illya say this, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but urge her on.
"After that, I had no memory of anything... When I woke up, I found that Kuro and Miyu had both disappeared... Waaah..."
As she spoke, Ilya's voice choked up again.
"Ah, it's alright, Ilya. After all, they are the ones."
Although Rin Tohsaka was also worried about Miyu and Chloe, she could only put on a calm expression when she saw Illya so heartbroken.
"But what exactly is going on...?"
