Chapter 523

【This is a conceptual armament capable of striking mysterious existences, which is also the reason why those skeleton soldiers could not be resurrected before.】

【Ilumia's smile became more and more intense, because the moment of breaking the heretic was the meaning of her existence and the moment she was satisfied.】

Waver: "This woman is a battle maniac."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Are all executors like this?"

Risei Kotomine: "No, she is not qualified. Executors cut down evil for the sake of salvation; a mindset like this, fighting for self-satisfaction, is absolutely unqualified."

Shirou Kotomine: "It seems her training is not enough."

【"Although it's not bad to get rid of Gray, it's fine to change the target to you. Even if this village really intends to do some stupid ritual to call back King Arthur, as long as we get rid of you or Gray, the problem will be solved, right?"】

【Ilumia declared, licked her lips, and was about to attack the masked girl, but before she could act, her footsteps paused. She suddenly stopped and threw a heavy backhand punch, shattering a skeleton soldier that was attacking from behind, her face somewhat astonished.】

【Ilumia: "Wait, what is this?"】

【She saw those defeated skeleton soldiers climbing up again, and the shattered parts were also repaired in an instant, feeling like watching a movie played in reverse.】

【This isn't right. The skeleton soldiers eliminated by her Gray Lock in the passage before clearly lost their ability to resurrect. Why is it not working here?】

【"The mana in this underground is unusually thin, but why is the magic power of even the small fry so high? Does this mean I have to land a fatal blow?"】

【Ilumia threw another uppercut to shatter the enemy soldier's jaw and opened the distance to avoid being chased.】

【"Sister Ilumia! This is, the ground's..."】

【The panicked Fernand's eyes moved up and down, hinting at the reason.】

【"As expected, is it supplied by those villagers?"】

【Ilumia instantly understood what he meant.】

【At this very moment, many villagers are praying in front of the Black Madonna statue on the ground.】

【The villagers are offering their own magic power so that this underground space can continuously produce skeleton soldiers.】

【It is precisely because they accepted the will and prayers of the living that the dead were able to leave new footprints on this land and wield sharp weapons.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Absorbing magic power through prayer? What is the principle behind this?"

Feng Xi: "You can understand it as something like the power of faith."

Waver: "It should be that some kind of magic formation was laid down."

Shishigou Kairi: "But these two are in danger now; these skeleton soldiers can't be killed at all."

【"Endless!"】

【Ilumia dodged the enemy's continuous offensive and hummed lightly.】

【"No, there will be an end."】

【The intention rang out emptily, and the masked girl, who had been observing the battle, took action.】

【"!!!"】

【Suddenly, Ilumia fell to her knees, as if she had lost her strength.】

【Something seemed to be extracting her essence.】

【That form manifesting from the spiritual body was devouring the essence of the villagers and the thinning Great Source and all power. Instead, it seemed to be forcibly moving the surrounding air, creating a storm that shouldn't have appeared underground.】

【She had felt that the Great Source underground was unusually thin since just now. Could the reason be...】

【Ilumia: "Because of that existence?"】

【She looked at the masked girl's hand.】
