"Ah! No! Don't!"
The small, adorable Miyu looked utterly helpless at that moment. Facing Mo Shuying's outstretched hand, she deeply felt her own powerlessness. This feeling of being at someone's mercy brought back old memories, and tears welled up in her eyes.
However.
"Little girls shouldn't carry things like this; it's very dangerous."
Mo Shuying's voice reached her, and Miyu paused, slightly opening her eyes to peer at him.
Mo Shuying held two cards between his fingers—Miyu's Class Cards, Rider and Lancer.
"My cards! Give them back!"
Miyu reached out to grab them, but lifted by Mo Shuying, she couldn't touch any other part of him.
Mo Shuying felt a bit like he was bullying someone, and a primary schooler at that, but the feeling…
He thought it seemed pretty good!
Putting away the two cards, Mo Shuying then took the Archer and Caster cards from beside Illya. He casually set Miyu down, then moved swiftly, quickly retrieving the stray Saber card.
At this moment, Mo Shuying already possessed five Class Cards. Including the one within himself, he now had six of the seven cards.
"Illya! Wake up, Illya!"
Without Mo Shuying's pressure, Miyu ran to Illya and called out to her.
This space was collapsing. Without its Guardian, this space would cease to exist.
Mo Shuying glanced at the young girls, about to say something, when suddenly!
*Bang!*
The ground beside Miyu shattered, and Sapphire flew out from the ground, saying with a worried tone,
"Lady Miyu, are you alright?!"
"I'm fine, Sapphire. What about Luvia and the others?!"
"Fortunately, we narrowly escaped into the underground. We dodged a bullet, Lady Miyu! What's the deal with this person?!"
Sapphire noticed Mo Shuying, her tone wary.
"I don't know! He seems to be a Heroic Spirit too! He took all our Class Cards!"
"What?!"
Sapphire exclaimed. Had they stumbled into a Heroic Spirit's den today?
Seeing Sapphire appear, Mo Shuying understood that he didn't need to worry about the safety of these girls anymore, so he smiled slightly.
"Little girls, it's better to participate in fewer dangerous activities like this in the future; you might get hurt. I won't deal with you today, but if you have any ideas about me or my spoils, then you should prepare for the worst consequences. Goodbye."
As he spoke, Mo Shuying's figure began to fade. Before his words had fully finished, he had completely vanished.
Unseen by them, Mo Shuying returned to his own pocket dimension barefoot, leaving behind a few injured girls and a collapsing pocket dimension.
Once the opposing pocket dimension collapsed, his own damaged one would be repaired.
"Lady Miyu! This place won't hold much longer; we need to evacuate quickly."
Sapphire reminded Miyu, who nodded. She reached out and grasped Sapphire, instantly transforming. After digging out the unconscious Tohsaka Rin and Luvia, Miyu opened a portal with the three of them and returned to the real world. This pocket dimension collapsed shortly after.
Meanwhile, back in his own dimension, Mo Shuying was immediately greeted by a series of notifications from the Voice of the World.
The first two spoke of the fall of the two Guardians, and how the subsequent monster attacks would become stronger and more frequent. But the last Voice of the World made Mo Shuying raise an eyebrow.
Guardian Assassin has obtained multiple Class Cards. Notification: If the Guardian can collect all seven cards, a wish can be granted upon completion of the holy artifact.
"A wish? So it really is like Dragon Ball, collecting seven Dragon Balls to get a wish. Good heavens, and the lowest version at that…"
Mo Shuying took out the five cards he had just acquired, his eyes burning with fervor. He actually did have a wish. Although he had once just been an Otaku, his family was harmonious and happy. Transmigration was not what he wanted, and if he could, he wanted to go back.
"It seems I still need to work hard. Oh, right, which Heroic Spirit was the last one left? Oh! There's still a Berserker! Berserker! I wonder if it's that big dark guy…"
The "big dark guy" Mo Shuying referred to was a figure whose mere thought gave him a headache. With a demigod's body, he possessed unparalleled strength, having once braved 12 trials to become a great hero revered by countless people.
He was Heracles.
Not the rhino beetle, but a strongman over two meters tall, all muscle, capable of punching through a small mountain.
Mo Shuying glanced at his own recently bulging muscles, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Still a long, long way to go…"
Just as Mo Shuying was sighing with emotion.
*Buzz~*
A new storm appeared, a massive vortex opening. Then, two-meter-tall dry tree-men wobbled out from within.
"Hmm? Guests have arrived…"
The appearance of the monsters interrupted Mo Shuying's thoughts. He sensed the aura of these monsters and gave his assessment.
"So weak…"
After witnessing the true battles between Heroic Spirits, Mo Shuying found that he was no longer very interested in these "small fries."
But he couldn't just leave them be. With a Flash, he vanished, then waved his hand to summon two Speed Wolves the size of buffalo. Skillfully, he strapped Gas Canisters onto them.
"Go."
After opening the gas valves, Mo Shuying slapped the Speed Wolves' hindquarters. Then! With eyes full of madness! These incredibly excited Speed Wolves bolted forward with abandon! It seemed...
...they'd fallen in love with the feeling of explosions.
Outside, one day later.
Tohsaka Rin and Luvia watched the projection displayed by Sapphire, speechless for a long time.
In the image, Mo Shuying picked up a card, said a few words in Chinese, and then disappeared.
As top students from the Clock Tower, knowing several languages was no problem. Tohsaka Rin and Luvia both understood Chinese. After watching the projection, they exchanged a glance, then spoke.
"It seems to be a Huaxia Heroic Spirit."
"Huaxia has Heroic Spirits that wear tracksuits?"
"That's not important! Look at this guy's height and physique! He's probably the Berserker from the two remaining Class Cards! Darn it! We've worked so hard for so many days! And this guy just swooped in and took the prize! It's infuriating!"
Tohsaka Rin was furious, while Luvia, beside her, frowned and said,
"Berserker-class Heroic Spirits are usually berserked; they shouldn't be able to converse with us so rationally. And his final action when he left... I'm guessing he's an Assassin."
Tohsaka Rin thought it made sense, but she'd never seen an Assassin with such developed muscles. Was he going to strangle his targets with muscle?
"What do we do now? Should we continue investigating?"
This setback had hit them hard. Illya still hadn't recovered and seemed a bit hesitant to fight.
"Of course we continue. We've come this far, why would we give up now? If all else fails... we'll call for reinforcements."
Luvia bit her fingernail, her eyes showing some unwillingness as she spoke.
