Turns out the idea that ADCs can sometimes carry is just an illusion. Even if you've got godly gear and your positioning is on point...
You still get one-shot!
*BOOM!*
Angelica was sent flying just from being grazed by the lightning. Luckily, using the wild boar pelt had significantly increased her HP and defense, otherwise, she'd have been sent back to her original form, just like Beatrice.
Beatrice had used Install to manifest the power of Berserker Class Heracles. His Noble Phantasm, Twelve Labors, allowed for resurrection, but she wasn't a Heroic Spirit, so her resurrection ability was limited. The moment she was directly hit by the lightning, she dispelled the summon, having resurrected a total of three times.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
After dispelling the fusion, Beatrice coughed continuously, seemingly struggling to breathe. She looked at Mo Shuying, who held Mjolnir, her eyes filled with resentment.
Mo Shuying felt her gaze and glanced at Beatrice, then walked towards her. Although the Class Card on the ground was a duplicate, there was no harm in picking it up. At the very least, Beatrice couldn't use it anymore.
However.
"Nameless! Sword!"
At a shout, Mo Shuying turned to see Darius holding a black card, which transformed into a black sword-light, slashing directly at him.
But there was a problem: although the two weren't far apart, the light sword clearly wasn't long enough to reach Mo Shuying. For Darius to still attack in this situation, it was clear—
"Swoosh!"
*BOOM!*
Mo Shuying instinctively dodged. A mosaic-like area suddenly appeared in the space behind him. The black sword-light extended from it, cutting past Mo Shuying's clothes and into the ground at his feet.
"Is this the Einzworth family's Substitution Magecraft? To be able to substitute even space, that's quite impressive."
Mo Shuying looked at Darius. A mosaic also appeared in front of Darius. The black sword-light in his hand disappeared significantly upon touching the mosaic, having been teleported next to Mo Shuying.
"You know a lot, don't you?"
The black card in Darius's hand shattered and vanished. This type of card was a failed product, a one-time use item.
Waving his hand to dust off the ashes, Darius's gaze towards Mo Shuying was no longer so relaxed. Two of his main combatants had been frustrated one after another, his own attack method had been seen through, and even his Noble Phantasm, Black Jade Emperor's Unfailing Visage, had been ignored. With this level of strength, he couldn't afford to take Mo Shuying lightly.
"It's alright, I don't know much. For example, I can't tell if you're Darius or Julian. There's also something off about the little girl next to you, and your method for creating Class Cards. Honestly, I'm quite curious. Are you offering classes? I'd be the first to sign up."
Mo Shuying knew that the person in front of him possessed the ability to create Class Cards, able to both produce and destroy them.
This ability made Mo Shuying envious. If he had this skill, wouldn't it be like having a wish-granting machine at his disposal at all times—provided he could still use Class Cards to make wishes?
Upon hearing Mo Shuying's words, the expression on Darius's face completely vanished, replaced only by coldness and killing intent.
At this moment, he had deemed Mo Shuying his most deserving enemy, simply because Mo Shuying seemed to know too much.
Without another word, he raised his hand and unleashed an attack!
"Coexisting Spiral Right Hand!"
As Darius raised his right hand, countless shadowy hands shot out from it, clawing at Mo Shuying!
Mo Shuying frowned at these shadowy hands. Another Noble Phantasm he hadn't seen before. He didn't dodge, allowing the shadowy hands to grab him, binding him like a rice dumpling.
Then, the shadowy hands dragged Mo Shuying towards Darius, who produced a strange dagger in his hand, preparing to stab Mo Shuying.
But as the shadowy hands pulled Mo Shuying closer, a sense of danger surged through Darius. Having lived countless lives, Darius's intuition was astonishingly sharp. Without a second thought, he immediately leaped back to dodge, and the next second!
"Ora!"
*BOOM!*
A fist broke through the shadowy hands' restraint and burst out! A violent punch-wind unleashed itself, forming a conical storm zone!
*CRACK!*
After that single punch, even the ground was scraped away. The shadowy hands that bound Mo Shuying dispersed, revealing an unharmed Mo Shuying inside.
"C-crunch~"
Mo Shuying twisted his neck, producing a crisp sound. Darius, with a dark expression, retreated out of attack range and fell into thought, observing the destruction Mo Shuying had caused.
Darius had begun comparing Mo Shuying's combat power to his own. If he used all his trump cards, could he defeat Mo Shuying?
The answer was unclear, but Darius was already considering retreating.
And just then!
"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"
Angelica, having recovered some of her strength, summoned her Shadow Entity and fired a barrage of magical energy arrows!
Mo Shuying raised his hand, using Mjolnir as a shield, blocking all the arrows. Angelica sprawled on the ground like a beast, her shadowy beast behind her pulling back a large bow, ready to gather all its strength for a fierce shot!
But just then!
"Whoosh!"
A spiral sword arced through the sky and slammed into the ground in front of Angelica. The next second—
*BOOM!*
The spiral sword exploded! Angelica was blasted away. While she was airborne, a figure flashed behind her. The next second, a green-glowing fist slammed into Angelica's abdomen, sending her hurtling back towards the ground!
*THUD!*
Angelica was repeatedly struck and fell to the ground. A flash of light emanated from her body as she reverted from her transformed state, and an Archer card floated out.
The figure who had punched her landed beside Angelica—it was none other than the true manly woman, Bazett!
"Hmph, thanks for taking care of me last time. This is my return gift."
Bazett clapped her fists together, and Rune Magic symbols flashed across the backs of her hands.
"Da~"
At the same time, a small figure jumped into the school. Illya immediately broke into a joyful smile upon seeing this figure.
"Kuro! It's so good that you're okay!"
Darius realized the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
The current circumstances were very much against him. He still hadn't figured out how to deal with Mo Shuying, and with a few more enemies, things could get bad.
As someone who had possessed and reincarnated countless times, his subconscious fear of death was strong. Realizing things were amiss, his first thought was to flee!
"It seems our battle today won't have a winner. What a pity. But don't get complacent. I won't let go of Miyu. Don't let me find an opportunity, or else, hehehehe!"
Darius let out a strange laugh and began to retreat. Thick, dark shadows appeared around his body, and shadowy hands stretched out. Not only was he escaping himself, but Erica, Beatrice, and even the Class Cards were not left behind; they all retreated.
Bazett looked at Darius, who was already half-gone, and asked,
"Aren't you taking this person with you?"
She gestured towards the unconscious Angelica.
Darius, now only a head remaining, sneered and said indifferently,
"Hmph, she's just a useless doll. Do with her as you please."
With that, his entire body sank into the shadows and disappeared.
Bazett shook her head, seemingly disgusted by Darius's actions.
Mo Shuying, meanwhile, dispelled the power of Manni, returning to normal. He then looked at Kuro, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Illya but had darkened skin, and was momentarily stunned.
