Chapter 582

["Hehe, then it's your turn."]

[Brynhildr looked at Paracelsus in the sky and showed a ferocious smile.]

["Water (Aqua)—"]

[Paracelsus chanted the spell, and an elemental crystal the size of a human appeared. The attribute is water. It was dazzling like a gem, and instantly pressed toward Brynhildr below from a high place.]

[This is not an ordinary elemental crystal, its mass will increase with the atmospheric moisture absorbed continuously.]

[And the barrier on the surface of the elemental crystal, once submerged, there is no possibility of escape, even for a Heroic Spirit.]

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "This is the so-called, Elemental!"]

Waver: "What a miraculous substance."]

Magical Girl Illya: "So beautiful!"]

Rin (Gold): "Although your character is criticized, your ability is indeed unquestionable."]

Paracelsus: "Thanks for the compliment."]

["Hoo wah! It feels so good, hehehehe, hehe!"]

[The surging waves scattered in the air, and Brynhildr easily escaped from the water elemental crystal.]

["..."]

[Paracelsus frowned, not expecting the elemental crystal to be cracked by the opponent so easily.]

[How did she do it?]

[But soon, he noticed something carved on her fingertips.]

["So that's it, is it Rune?"]

[Brynhildr: "Hehe, guess."]

Aoko Aozaki: "Hehe, after all, she is a Valkyrie in Norse mythology, how could she not know Rune runes."]

Although the tone was indifferent, the body was honestly serious.]

For a researcher of Rune runes, this is a wealth from heaven.]

After all, what Brynhildr is using is probably the "Primal Rune" inherited from the Great God Odin!]

[Feeling the crisis, Paracelsus immediately changed his moves, adjusting the crystal to an attack form, that is, from solid to liquid.]

[Brynhildr danced the spear, but for the water alien that didn't care about being cut, it was really useless.]

[The water mass had grown to five meters high, and instantly doubled to ten meters in size, like a slime, wrapping Brynhildr in it.]

[However, this is not a real attack.]

[The moment Brynhildr was swallowed, the liquid turned into a solid again, freezing Brynhildr like cold ice.]

Rin Tohsaka: "To think she can switch back and forth between solid and liquid!"]

Illya: "This is the elementalization mentioned in the manga."]

Taiga Fujimura: "Damn it, physical attacks are useless after turning into liquid, what should we do?"]

Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "Uh, why are you studying this?"]

Taiga Fujimura: "Maybe it will come in handy someday d(-_^)."]

[If it were any other opponent, this blow might truly have trapped the enemy, but unfortunately, the opponent this time is Brynhildr.]

["..."]

[Brynhildr was seen chanting, and the next moment, a heat far beyond the mere emission of magical energy was released, dissolving the crystals into nothingness.]

[This time, it was no longer the flame of magical energy, but the tragic, burning flame of myth—the Fire of Calamity!]

["Hehehe..."]

[The freed Brynhildr laughed uncontrollably, a seal of light engraved upon her chest.]

[It was something that even a million modern mages could hardly rival—]

["The Primordial Rune!"]

[A touch of agitation finally entered Caster's tone.]

[Brynhildr: "Hehe, that's right. This is something personally bestowed by the Great God!"]

[A single sentence awakened Caster.]

[What he is facing now is not merely a deranged woman, but a deranged demigod!]

Ciel: "Is this the Rune that belongs to the gods..."

Sion: "It is a Rune I have never seen in the records."

Aozaki Touko: "How beautiful—"

I've struck gold; I must record this quickly.

Even if I cannot wield it, I must at least memorize the basic patterns.

["Brynhildr. You are very strong."]

[A voice like a gentle breeze sounded, making one feel a sense of warmth.]

[It should have been that way.]

[Yet all Brynhildr felt was boundless, chilling dread.]

[Her eyes, which should have been deranged, briefly regained their sanity as she looked toward the lightning rod on the roof of Sunshine 60.]

[The pure white girl stood there, ignoring Newton's protests.]

["...Drachen (Dragon)!"]

[This was Brynhildr's judgment of the girl before her.]

[In Brynhildr's eyes, Manaka Sajyou was not human, but the dragon her beloved had once fought to the death.]

[Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she felt the massive aura before her was enough to rival it.]

Caules: "To be able to make Brynhildr make such an assessment, who exactly is this girl..."

Waver: "It seems the biggest problem in this Holy Grail War is this girl named Manaka Sajyou."

Rin Tohsaka: "Paracelsus should know something... forget it."

To put it bluntly, she did not trust the other party, nor did she believe he would kindly tell them the truth.

Caster: "..."

Hehe, when you find out what she truly represents, I fear your jaws will drop in shock.

[However, this shock lasted only a brief second before Brynhildr was once again consumed by madness, charging toward Manaka Sajyou.]

[Seeing his master in danger, Caster immediately summoned a Gnome.]

[Its hardness, comparable to diamond, still could not block that blow filled with love.]

[The great spear in Brynhildr's hand was enough to sever all things in the world!]

[Is that really the case—]

["What a pity, it seems too light."]

[Only a single finger.]

[The tip of the long spear stopped right there, against the girl's fair fingertip.]

Caules: "Another finger!"

Blonde Rin: "This is too ridiculous. It was one thing when it was the Master before, but this time it's a Heroic Spirit! And Brynhildr, whose power has been boosted who knows how many times!"

Kayneth: "Impossible, how could a magus achieve such a level relying solely on their physical body!"

The existence of Manaka Sajyou had begun to shatter Kayneth's worldview.

["You think I... am very annoying, right?"]

[Manaka Sajyou smiled as if she had just done a trivial thing: "You love heroes. The water, too, the earth, too, and Tokyo, too. Yet, you do not like me. That won't do. I cannot feel even a bit of weight from your Noble Phantasm."]

[The girl's smile was like a brilliant flower.]

["But, it's amazing. You actually love him so much. If that's the case..."]

[The flower petals drifted down slowly.]

Jinako: "Ah, she's jealous, isn't she."

Zabiko: "Is this what they call a 'love-brain'?"

Sure enough, a yandere isn't scary; what's scary is a yandere with power.

Right, Yuno-senpai?

["I failed..."]

[Nigel realized that there was little time left.]
