When Illya saw her mother's body falling backwards, she was filled with regret.
She regretted why she was frightened. If she had reacted faster, her mother would not have been hurt.
She regretted why she was so stubborn. She knew her magic couldn't hurt the giant, so she should have taken her mother and escaped immediately. The cloak on her back was not a decoration, but a conceptual equipment that solidified high-level levitation magic and allowed her to fly freely in the air. If she had taken her mother through the air, at least she wouldn't have ended up in the current situation.
Why why why why why why why why why—I am so useless
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no—Mom, don’t die!
The regret in my heart could not reverse the development of the situation, and the tears in my eyes could not save my dying mother.
The greatest tragedy for a family is rebirth, but the girl is powerless and can only watch and wait for her innocent heart to be shattered by the cruel reality or for a miracle to happen.
Just then, she heard a sigh.
"well!"
The moment the voice fell, a black shadow flashed by. At the critical moment, it saved Irisviel from the giant's axe blade, and also saved Illya's heart, which was about to fall into the abyss and be shattered at any time.
"Mother!!!"
Seeing her mother being rescued, Illya instinctively wanted to rush over and hug her mother.
The shadowy woman, the one wearing only a single layer of clothing but covering her face with a scarf and sunglasses, suddenly turned around and cursed:
"Don't come over here, run!"
"But-"
"Don't say but, leave her to me. Really, how could Kelly, such a smart man, have such a stupid wife and daughter like you?"
"Kelly?" Irisviel, who was being held by the strange woman, softly repeated the name that she seemed to have heard somewhere.
"Alas, they are stupid, how much better can you be?"
There was another sigh, also a strange sound that the mother and daughter had never heard before.
Accompanied by a gunshot and the deafening roar of the giant.
"■■■■■■■■■■■────!"
Compared to the previous roar full of violence and murderous intent, this time there was something different in the voice.
Following the sound, I saw a terrifying bright red light flying in the air. The terrifying giant who could not be hit no matter how hard he tried was actually bleeding
He is—hurt.
On the right hand, the arm had ruptured blood vessels and twisted muscles, as if it had exploded from the inside, with half of the arm severed.
Having suffered such serious injuries, the giant naturally could not hold the ridiculously large axe and sword, and his non-stop attack also stopped.
The new sighing voice continued: "-Since you have saved someone, you should not stop, keep running. You are not like the little devil's stupid daughter, thinking that you can fight this monster."
"Because I know you won't leave us alone."
The strange woman who saved Irisviel from danger had a noticeably brighter tone in her voice.
There was another figure on the wall where she entered the Emiya residence. It was still a woman, still wearing sunglasses and a scarf covering her nose and mouth, but the clothes she wore were obviously more normal, at least she was wearing a black coat suitable for winter. Her hands, which were covered with black gloves, each held a pistol.
One of the guns was hanging down, with a wisp of green smoke coming out of the muzzle, and the other gun kept shooting at the motionless giant until the entire magazine was emptied. He spoke while firing.
"It's hard to say. The enemy is so scary. Even with the last 'Origin Bullet' left by the little devil, it can only cause such a small amount of damage. An ordinary magus would have died of confusion. Hey, why are you still standing there? Why don't you run? The enemy is not dead yet. If he—"
Before he could finish his words, the giant raised his head and roared again, and his injured right arm turned an abnormal red.
"■■■■■■■■■■■────!"
The giant's dark blue skin, which originally gave people a feeling of being hard and made of steel, now looked like a piece of red-hot iron - no, not like, but exactly like.
The iron is heated and red in order to be forged, to be forged into weapons or other tools. The reddening of the giant's body is also based on a similar principle, where the damaged parts are forged again to restore them to their original appearance.
"Recovering himself!!! Oh no, hurry up, it will be too late by the time he recovers."
The woman in the windbreaker holding two guns urged them, and the three people in the courtyard did not dare to delay and fled in the opposite direction of the giant.
However, the giant recovered faster than anyone expected. In just over twenty seconds, before the group left the courtyard, the giant had completed its self-recovery, picked up the axe and spear that had fallen to the ground, and once again turned into a hurricane, sweeping across the entire garden.
I don't know if it's because there are more enemies, but the giant's strength and speed have increased, and the storm has also increased. Just now, Ilia and the woman in thin clothes had time to react, but now they can't keep up with the giant's movements at all.
The woman in single clothes was holding Irisviel and was about to jump onto the wall when the giant caught up with them and swept across with his huge axe and sword. While smashing the wall, he also smashed the woman in single clothes and Irisviel away.
This was because the single-dressed woman used all her strength to adjust the first contact point, so that the side of the axe and sword instead of the blade touched her body, otherwise the two would not fly out, but be directly cut in two. Despite this, the two were still beaten to broken bones and could never stand up again.
Seeing this, the woman in the windbreaker quickly raised her double guns with replaced magazines and fired at the giant continuously, hoping to attract the giant's attention.
The irrational giant who only cared about killing no longer cared about the two people, but this also put the woman in the windbreaker into crisis.
It was still a brutal, unskilled charge and sweep. But in the face of overwhelming speed and power, this became the most efficient approach. The woman in the windbreaker only dodged two attacks before ending up with the same fate as the two people just now, being slapped away and falling into the ruins.
"Here, show me here, you damned monster!"
A cluster of cherry-colored magic power fell from the sky and hit the giant's head. Illya had successfully taken off and could leave at any time, but she couldn't leave her mother and her saviors alone. She flew and shot at the same time, imitating the windbreaker woman's approach.
"Run, idiot."
The woman in the windbreaker spat out blood and cursed, struggling to raise her pistol and continue shooting, but she was still a step too late. Before she could shoot, the giant threw his axe at Illya.
Illya dodged hastily, dodging the axe and sword, but not the giant that jumped high up and followed closely behind her, and was slapped. The lifting force of the floating air could not resist the giant's strange power, and the girl fell from the air like an angel with broken wings - falling into the warehouse in the corner of the courtyard.
PS: Although Illya's behavior seems extremely stupid from a God's perspective, not everyone can abandon their loved ones and run away alone in that situation - although this is actually the most correct choice, and it is better for one person to die than for everyone to die.
PS2: "Origin Bullet" is a conceptual attack. It does not cause direct damage, but instead uses the disorder of magical power to cause indirect damage. Hercules is full of magical power, so it is that simple for him to be injured by the backlash that breaks his defense.
