Just like equipment, the fun of exploring the Paradise's Skills is plentiful.
When you use a Skill Book to acquire a Skill, is that Skill borrowed from the Paradise, or is it your own power?
From the initial Lv1 to the maxed Lv10, the Paradise has a setting for Skills.
Lv5 and Lv10 will each bring a special effect to the Skill, with the resulting effect determined by the player's subsequent experiences and material additions.
What are subsequent experiences?
The way a player uses this Skill, the experiences accompanying this Skill, the achievements made with this Skill...
When a player uses the Great Fireball Technique to kill a giant dragon, relying on this experience, the Great Fireball Technique can naturally awaken a special effect against dragons.
In a sense, this point is very similar to the Heroic Spirits in the Fate World; both rely on a certain legend to bring about special power.
From this perspective, since players can change Skills through themselves, it is naturally unlikely that this power is something borrowed from the Paradise.
Kisaragi Rin looked at the Black Flash on the player panel; it was shining brightly, just like Materialization Split, unlike other Skills that were sealed.
If it is one's own power, can the Paradise completely seal it?
Stealth belongs to abilities, Golden Light Technique belongs to cultivation techniques, Heavenly Eye is similar to divine abilities, Materialization Split is a product of bloodline...
The origins of these Skills are diverse, but Black Flash is different.
Strictly speaking, the Skill - Black Flash is a special technique, a technique that bursts physical strength and energy consecutively with a delay of 0.00001 seconds.
The Paradise sealed the Skills, but it did not seal the player's five-dimensional attributes.
Strength is strength, and energy is intelligence.
Since Kisaragi Rin can supply magic power to the Servants with his five-dimensional attributes, this magic power can also be used as a condition for using Black Flash.
The Skill icon merely created a convenient 'spell slot' for the player to release; without it, one can simply complete it with one's own ability.
"Haven't I used it once already?"
"The feeling of Black Flash."
"I still remember."
Recalling the feeling of the last release, Kisaragi Rin dispelled Medea's 강화 magic.
His aura immediately weakened, and ice shards instantly formed on Kisaragi Rin's body.
Strength 21, Intelligence 26!
In the sixth second, the Banner of Demons began to fall, and in contrast, Kisaragi Rin's raised left fist directly struck Esdeath's rapier!
The ice disappeared, the snow stopped, the cold wave no longer surged, and this time-stopped world returned to silence.
It wasn't until a certain moment that the sound of bones shattering echoed in the time stop.
The black lightning pierced through the cold air at the sword tip and also distorted space.
As the rapier shattered, the tyrannical madness of the Berserker was also dispersed at this moment.
Their eyes met again, this time Kisaragi Rin stood in place with his shattered left arm, while Esdeath fell backward, her armor, along with her rapier, disintegrating under the intensity of the Black Flash.
At the same time, time reached the seventh second.
The power of Mahapdama finally receded, and time resumed its flow.
Having just recovered from the time stop, the Heroic Spirits and Yukinoshita Yukino felt the surrounding temperature and immediately reacted by searching for Kisaragi Rin's location.
From their perspective, one moment Medea's expression suddenly changed, and the next moment the environment had completely transformed into winter.
And at this moment, Kisaragi Rin, with his chest torn open, covered in ice shards, and having lost both arms, looked somewhat unbelievably miserable to Yukinoshita Yukino.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Kisaragi-san!"
"Kisaragi-san!"
Accompanying their shouts, Esdeath, whose armor had shattered, had already stood up again, madness once more occupying her consciousness, and under the power of three Command Spells, the cold wave reappeared in the world.
Kisaragi Rin stood calmly in front of Esdeath, showing no emotion at her actions, merely muttering, "Don't kill her."
The next moment, before the wind and snow picked up, Medea's magic had already descended upon Esdeath.
Saber and Medusa, one on the left and one on the right, hearing Kisaragi Rin's words, forcibly distorted their Noble Phantasms that were about to fall, stood beside Kisaragi, worrying about him while vigilantly staring at Esdeath.
Yukinoshita Yukino and Lily also hurried over.
"Hurry, Lily!" Medusa commanded her.
Lily looked at Kisaragi Rin's injuries somewhat at a loss, clumsily raising her Noble Phantasm and replying.
"I... I understand..."
"No need to rush, as long as I'm not dead, Lily's Noble Phantasm can restore me to normal, right?"
Kisaragi Rin comforted the flustered Lily, looked in Steve Rogers's direction, and added, "Instead of worrying about me, it's better to quickly petrify and seal those three."
With Medea's magic suppression, the three Steve Rogers were already nearing their end before the time stop, and this naturally wouldn't change after the time stop ended.
After uttering a few harsh words, they were completely turned into stone statues by the enraged Medusa.
"May no one in this world harm anyone, and may no one be harmed, All Flaws Must Be Healed!"
As the magic power of Lily's Noble Phantasm release surged, Kisaragi's body gradually mended, returning to its uninjured state as if time were flowing backward.
Seeing Kisaragi Rin's injuries heal, Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief, embracing him tearfully and burying her face in Kisaragi's body.
"It's all because Lily is too useless..."
As these words were spoken, Saber, Medusa, and Medea were overwhelmed with self-reproach.
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't feel much about it, only feeling a little heartache for Kisaragi's injuries.
Firstly, she simply believed in Kisaragi Rin's strength.
It was just a suddenly appearing Heroic Spirit; what was there to worry about? Wasn't it natural for Kisaragi to fight a Heroic Spirit with his physical body?
Instead, Kisaragi Rin's injuries made Yukinoshita Yukino somewhat incredulous; even though he had already been healed by Lily, looking at his torn clothes and recalling Kisaragi's appearance just after the time stop ended, Yukinoshita Yukino still felt a pang of heartache.
As for the second point, Yukinoshita Yukino noticed that Medea's gaze towards Kisaragi had changed slightly.
Esdeath had used Mahapdama and was then severely injured by Kisaragi Rin's Black Flash, her weapon and armor shattered, and her overall threat was greatly reduced.
Medea suppressed Esdeath with magic, observed the surrounding traces, and through her eyes and magic, basically understood what had happened during those seven seconds of time stop.
Walking directly to Kisaragi Rin's side, Medea looked up and asked seriously, "Was that a time stop just now?"
