Kuroka twitched her cat ears and smiled. "Master, how long do you think until it's decided?"
"Maybe, very soon."
Ayato glanced at Roswaal and shook his head. "In battle, sometimes the more afraid you are of dying, the faster you die."
Koneko blinked in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"It looks to me like Elsa has the upper hand, but it should take a while to decide, right?"
"You, you've been too protected."
Kuroka smiled. "Sometimes, you need to experience more dangerous battles."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to feel that fear."
As Kuroka's voice fell, the situation on the field had already changed.
"No, if I keep fighting, I'll die."
A flicker of fear appeared in Roswaal's eyes, and he began to prepare to flee.
A flaw.
A flash of cold light appeared in Elsa's eyes. Her curved sword pulled out a sharp blade of light.
Pfft!
Blood splattered.
Roswaal wailed, his stomach already slit open, blood spilling all over the ground.
"You..."
He looked horrified, his vision growing dark.
"Your intestines don't seem any different from an ordinary person's."
Elsa's expression was indifferent as she swung again.
Pfft!
Blood gushed like a spring.
A good head flew high into the air.
"I... am not resigned to this."
Roswaal let out a final roar, his consciousness falling into eternal darkness.
Seeing this.
Ayato snapped his fingers.
Hum.
A magic circle's light appeared.
"Master."
Chelsea jumped up, directly hanging onto Ayato.
"Alright, business."
Ayato smiled, pointed at Roswaal's corpse in the distance, and said, "Play his role for a day, then find a suitable reason to disappear."
"Okay."
Chelsea nodded, reluctantly left Ayato's back, glanced at Roswaal, and a flash of light covered her body. Her appearance had changed, becoming exactly the same as Roswaal.
"Not just the appearance, but even the aura is exactly the same?"
Koneko looked at Chelsea, then at Roswaal, a flicker of shock in her eyes.
"This is Chelsea's Balance Breaker."
Ayato gave a head pat and said, "Not just appearance and aura; if you know enough, you can even perfectly replicate the other's abilities."
"Of course, it's also based on your own strength and cannot exceed your own power limit."
"That's still terrifying enough."
Koneko nodded thoughtfully, then said, "But why turn into this dead guy?"
"It's because one of my servants is too kind. Although this guy has been using her, I'll just let him disappear naturally."
…
Ryouzanpaku.
This was a gathering place for martial arts heroes.
Just as Miu came home, she was blocked at the door by Shigure.
"Miu, you've been sneaking around since you came back last time. Something's very wrong."
"Is there something you need to tell me?"
Shigure's expression was expressionless, and her tone had no inflection, but anyone could hear the concern in her words.
"Tell me. Where have you been going lately, not coming home?"
She walked forward a few steps, looking at Miu, but her expression paused.
"Hmm?"
"Your strength... seems to have increased a lot."
"What exactly happened?"
Miu smiled. "Hehe, you noticed."
"Actually, you don't need to worry. I've just been learning from a few friends."
These words were not false.
Although she had the magic books Ayato gave her...
Some things...
Naturally needed guidance to learn faster.
So during this time...
She spent most of her time at Erina's place.
"Is that so?"
Shigure grew more and more surprised as she looked, her eyes gradually becoming sharp.
Very strong.
Extremely strong.
Just standing in front of her, Miu gave her a sense of being unassailable.
But this was clearly abnormal.
Martial arts definitely weren't something achieved overnight.
No matter how talented...
She absolutely couldn't have made such progress in such a short time.
Could it be...
Shigure said seriously, "Miu, you haven't been involved with people from that world, have you?"
Miu was stunned, then understood.
It seemed Shigure-san had some understanding of supernatural powers.
But that was normal.
After all...
As a martial arts master...
To some extent, she also far surpassed ordinary humans.
"So that's it."
Shigure said seriously, "Miu, that's very dangerous. What exactly is going on?"
Everything has its price, and supernatural power is even more so.
Hearing this, Miu thought for a moment.
It seemed...
There were no prohibitions about this regarding being a servant.
"Shigure-san, I did indeed come into contact with that world."
