Looking at the spear that had pierced the Moonlit Essence, Kayneth couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"No, something's wrong. This guy! Reines, leave quickly!"
Ugh!
Kayneth clutched his pierced arm and used the Moonlit Essence to move to Marisbury's side.
"This guy is not right. This level of strength is almost comparable to the Servants I encountered in Fuyuki City back then. Be careful, Marisbury."
Marisbury nodded calmly, then manipulated several fist-sized Iron Meteorites floating behind him to bypass Fionn and strike at Dr. Heartless behind him.
Although Fionn had been stripped of his consciousness by Manaka's enhancement and had fallen into a complete frenzy, his battle instincts from a hundred battles remained. He instantly leaped up, easily swinging his spear to deflect all the meteorites.
"Spear of Venus!"
At this moment, Rin, who had deployed her Starlight Form and was waiting for an opportunity nearby, finally saw her chance. Without hesitation, she gathered starlight to form a light spear and launched a fatal blow toward Fionn's head!
As the Spear of Venus struck Fionn's head, Fionn, who was landing on the ground, collapsed just like that.
Rin patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it's just a Pseudo-Holy Grail War. To think even Fionn was summoned. Honestly, thank goodness it's a mindless class like Berserker."
Rin mistakenly believed Fionn was a Berserker class summoned for a Pseudo-Holy Grail War.
Dr. Heartless smiled as he walked to Fionn's 'corpse' and revealed the command spells on his hand.
"Fionn, use your Noble Phantasm."
This hand that scoops up many lives! The water scooped up by Fionn's hand possesses an astonishing healing ability—this legend itself has manifested as a Noble Phantasm, which began to take effect with Dr. Heartless's command spell.
As the Noble Phantasm activated, the wound on Fionn's head healed instantly. He stood up once more and let out a wild roar toward Rin.
"Please continue the fight, the two Lords and Tohsaka Rin."
"Damn it!"
Rin narrowly dodged Fionn's attack and then quickly rose high into the air, looking down with a grim expression at Fionn, who was rushing toward Kayneth and Marisbury.
Seeing Fionn's spear about to pierce Kayneth again, Reines, who was standing by the train door, poured most of her magical energy into Trimmau. This allowed Trimmau to accelerate instantly and block the strike just as the spear was about to pierce Kayneth.
"Oh, little girl, then you should be the first to exit the stage."
Dr. Heartless smiled at Reines, but his words were lethal.
Swish!
Following Dr. Heartless's words, the nearby dead trees seemed to come alive, with countless branches stabbing toward Reines.
In the cockpit of the Mystic Eye Collection Train, the acting manager of the train and direct subordinate of the True Ancestor Rita Rozian looked at the conductor and the auctioneer.
"Planning to damage the train again, these guys! Leandra, Rodin, from now on, anyone who attacks the train will be considered our enemy!"
Reines leaned against the train door, helplessly raising her hands to try and give herself some comfort. However, Reines knew that her end would soon be just like those who had committed suicide as she had mentioned before.
At this critical moment, the defensive magecraft suddenly deployed by the train bought valuable time for Rin. Rin dove rapidly from the sky to stand before Reines just as the train's Magic Circle shattered.
"Ancient Starlight — Light Wing Deployment!"
Hundreds of beams of light collided with hundreds of branches. The powerful and Ancient Starlight instantly suppressed the Child of Einnashe, not only crushing the branches but also completely pulverizing a large area of surrounding dead wood.
This was precisely the 'Mystery' suppression brought by Rin's complete Starlight Mode. Based on a concept proposed by the scientific genius Da Vinci, by collecting ancient light emitted from distant stars, Rin's 'Mystery' was elevated to a level comparable to the Age of Gods!
Rin turned her head and joked to Reines behind her:
"Reines, I've been accumulating this starlight for over half a year. How do you plan to compensate me?"
Reines looked at the pulverized dead wood forest with lingering fear and cast a grateful look at Rin.
"Thank you, Rin!"
"You're welcome. I'm going to help Kayneth and the others. Take care of yourself."
When Da Vinci first proposed the idea, it indeed took over half a year to accumulate enough starlight for one strike. However, as Rin progressed, it now only took about a week to gather enough for one strike.
Rin pulled out the secret medicine given by Lorelei, drank it in one gulp, and flew toward Kayneth and Marisbury. 'Da Vinci truly is a universal person!'
Kayneth commanded the Moonlit Essence through his Magic Crest while connecting his magical energy to Trimmau. He struggled to block Fionn's attacks while controlling both Mystic Codes.
"Marisbury, are you done yet! I'm about to reach my limit."
Marisbury held his hands high, deploying a magic circle and continuously chanting incantations in Latin.
"It's done. Let the stars fall!"
The sky darkened instantly, and the stars in the heavens shone brightly, like Van Gogh's Starry Night. Then, Magic Bullets composed of starlight fell toward the ground one after another.
At the same time, Rin coordinated with Marisbury's Great Magecraft and activated Light Wing Deployment.
Boom—boom—boom.
As the Magic Bullets hit the ground, countless dead trees were ignited. Fionn returned to Dr. Heartless's side, struggling to fend off the Magic Bullets falling from the sky and the attacks from Rin's light wings.
As the dust cleared, Kayneth's face, slightly pale from blood loss, showed a look of surprise. Seeing Fionn unscathed, he shouted:
"How is this possible? A mere Pseudo-Servant can actually take a Great Magecraft unscathed!"
"Kayneth, I'm afraid this is no Pseudo-Servant. Although I don't know what methods that guy used, Fionn's saint graph before us has definitely been enhanced!"
Marisbury turned his head to look at Rin in mid-air.
"Then is this a true Servant?"
"I don't know either. Perhaps it's an existence somewhere between a Pseudo-Servant and a true Servant."
After taking a moment to stop the bleeding in his arm, Kayneth asked Rin:
"Rin, can you buy me some time?"
"No problem!"
After answering Kayneth, Rin summoned a Flame Sword in her hand and dove down toward Fionn. With a flick of the Flame Sword, she stabbed toward Fionn's heart. Marisbury also raised his hand, chanting more than three verses of Magic Bullets and firing them at Fionn.
Kayneth took off his glove, magic light glowing in his hand, then plunged his hand into the ground, chanting continuously.
Bang!
Rin's Flame Sword was easily shattered by Fionn, who then kicked Rin away while pulling Dr. Heartless to dodge the incoming Magic Bullets.
Rin climbed up from the ground, glanced at a piece of her wing that had been shattered while blocking Fionn's kick, and complained:
"This is simply unscientific! That guy has lost all reason, so why is his martial skill still so strong?"
After complaining, Rin used magical energy to restore the integrity of her light wings. Then, with a flap of the wings, she condensed two Flame Swords in her hands and rushed toward Fionn.
Meanwhile, Kayneth was squatting on the ground, drenched in sweat, focusing intently on chanting his spell. However, this Great Magecraft required Kayneth to be in perfect condition to cast. Now, after successive intense battles, Kayneth's magical energy was already incomplete.
At this point, Reines also noticed Kayneth's state. Summoning her courage, she walked to Kayneth's side, placed her hand on his shoulder, and channeled her own magical energy into his body.
"Thanks! Reines, now take this hit, Dr. Heartless..."
