Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Instant Prison Shadow Kill, a Courtyard Full of Dreams and Flowers



"You understood that although his attitude seemed gentle and humble, Merlin would not let you leave safely. A confrontation between you and him was now inevitable."

"He was an incubus, a sage, a great magus. Since his appearance in the world, every one of his titles has resounded throughout Britannia."

"He was Merlin."

"But, so what?"

"You are... the Ultimate Life Form."

"Under this vast moonlight, this is your absolute home turf."

"He wears human skin but is not human; you possess the body of a dragon but have a clear human heart."

"At this most perilous juncture,"

"Your heart, on the contrary, became incredibly relaxed."

"Where light shines, shadow follows."

"If that light represents the vibrant life of all things, then shadow represents 'death'."

"The shadow that accompanies the night is just such a quiet, still, and lethal thing."

"As a manipulator of shadows, the gift you intended to give him was the eternal peace called 'death'."

"In this state of serene thought, your killing intent gradually subsided, your temperament reined in."

"You felt as if your body were constantly sinking, vaguely seeming to reach some ultimate state of dormancy."

"If there is light, then devour that light."

"If there is no shadow, you yourself are the incarnation of shadow."

"You don't like to fuss over victory or defeat, nor do you dwell on the troubles of conflict, but you also cannot allow... this peaceful life to be shattered by anyone."

"The surplus magical energy you've absorbed during this time, coupled with your epiphany, has allowed you to further break through your own limits in skill—"

"Mana Burst (Shadow) → Mana Burst (Light Devour)"

"Mana Burst (Light Devour): A+"

"As the name implies, the ability to devour light."

"Vortigern was known as the light-devouring demonic dragon, and you, possessing the Vile King's bloodline, have inherited his shadow attribute."

"Understanding the unity of light and shadow, you can now steal the omnipresent light of this land and convert it into your own magical energy."

"With the enhancement of night, you can easily devour even the radiance emitted by a Noble Phantasm. Perhaps only the legendary holy relics can avoid having their brilliant light worn away by you."

"Your magical energy, with the Light Devour characteristic, will be the wave of absolute darkness that erodes all things—"

"Hsss..."

"Hooo..."

A deep inhale, then a slow exhale.

Su Shu adjusted his breathing. As an icy chill quietly spread through the air, the light around him seemed to begin to distort slightly.

His five fingers pressed down, slowly gripping the hilt of his sword.

Click.

From extreme motion to extreme stillness, and then in that instant, all the concentrated power was unleashed, erupting—

VMMMM—

In Merlin's eyes, the boy slowly swung his sword.

There was no sharp slash as imagined, nor was there a swift movement that was too fast to see.

He swung his sword as if he were wielding a fine-tipped brush, with a slow and expressive grace.

Slow, too slow—

This... couldn't even be called a "slash."

However, it was this movement, so slow it seemed to freeze...

That caused a sudden palpitation in the magus's heart.

—No, that's just an illusion!

...Interesting.

In fact, interesting, truly very interesting!

This guy... this Alvin person, was actually casting an illusion on him, the grandmaster of illusionary arts!

In an instant, Merlin saw through Su Shu's method of casting the illusion.

The technique was not acting on himself, but on the perception of the outside world, thus it couldn't be countered!

Light is the essence of color.

Thanks to his past experience in tuning AI magic, Su Shu's use of light and shadow had already reached a state of perfection.

Under his fine control, as calm as still water, this Ultimate Life Form's body was not only absorbing light but also completely covering the incubus's vision with flowing shadows.

The invisible blade is the deadliest.

Everything the magus was seeing at this moment was no longer real.

It was the... mirror flower, water moon that Su Shu had constructed for him.

An attack that had already struck before he even realized it.

"Come, count up your sins, Merlin...

"This fleeting, beautiful thing is the flower of the Instant Prison Shadow Kill, blooming for your funeral—"

In a silent annihilation, hundreds and thousands of dark sword lights symbolizing "death" erupted suddenly, like a magnificent bouquet of roses blooming quietly at dusk.

In an instant, it shredded the figure of Merlin at the center into... a cluster of scattered flower petal fragments.

"..."

Su Shu silently watched the fragments of the cut petals drift to the ground, then instantly wither and die.

Merlin, the incubus, was nowhere to be found.

"...He escaped?"

He had clearly captured him in his technique in an instant and confirmed it was the main body.

This attack, which had no blind spots... was still dodged by him.

Morgan was right.

This guy can really run. He's as fast as someone wearing Chelsea boots. Merlin, you should change your name to the White Deceiver.

Well, since he escaped... so be it.

Su Shu turned, preparing to head to Sir Ector's house to see Artoria... perhaps for the last time.

Then, he saw Merlin's face, with that nauseating smile, standing right in front of him like a ghost.

"..."

The silver-haired boy narrowed his eyes slightly.

"My, my~ what a terrifying move, Alvin-kun...

"That single strike you released, its power has even reached the level of a Noble Phantasm..."

Pfft—

A dark sword light suddenly shot out from the shadow of a leaf, unexpectedly piercing the magus's throat.

However, what flowed from this wound, which would have been fatal to a normal person, was not blood... but a riot of colorful flower petals.

"How do you like it~?

"Unfortunately, you can't kill me yet, Alvin-kun."

Humming an elegant and gentle tune, the incubus laughingly scattered his "blood flowers" toward the silver-haired boy, seeming to be having a great time.

"Are you done playing?"

No longer needing to even swing, Su Shu flicked his finger, and a thousand blades of shadow erupted, once again piercing Merlin's figure through and through, violently tearing him into...

Petals.

Petals...

Still petals—

Colorful, dazzling petals fell from the deep forest, and under the cold moonlight, it was a magnificent scene for anyone to behold.

However, this scene only made Su Shu feel sick.

Sick, absolutely sick to his stomach—

He had never seen such a slippery guy in his life.

"Merlin... do you like flowers that much, you white-haired bastard?"

"Well, I can't help it~ After all, I am the 'Magus of Flowers,' Alvin-kun."

Layers of gentle voices echoed from all directions.

He didn't know when it started...

But this forest was now filled with dense crowds of Merlins.

Tear him apart, and another one would walk out.

Split him down the middle, or even cut him in half at the waist, and two new Merlins would grow out from a cluster of petals.

Shadows surged like a tide.

Su Shu gripped his sword hilt and began to pant slightly.

The magical energy of an Ultimate Life Form was as vast as an ocean, but it couldn't be wasted like this.

That's right... he was already under an illusion.

When? From which step—

...There was no way to know.

It was even possible that he had been trapped since the first moment he saw this guy.

Truly troublesome. The illusions of an incubus were indeed as formidable as the legends say.

But it no longer mattered.

Because he, too, stood on unbeatable ground.

"It's just an illusion... if you can't kill me, it's meaningless, Merlin."

Su Shu turned and walked away without hesitation. In just a few breaths, the boy's figure dissolved into the shadows of the deep forest.

If I can't win, I'll run. Why get entangled with this idiot!

This is my escape route, Merlin!

"Kill you? I certainly can't kill you."

Gazing at the silver-haired boy's departing back, the Merlins smiled gently, as if unconcerned by Su Shu's tactical retreat.

"But you really don't hold back, do you, Alvin-kun..."

As he said this, a deep wound slowly split open on all the Merlins' cheeks, from which seeped a purplish blood.

This made the incubus's smile lose its usual spring-breeze quality, becoming somewhat sinister.

It was not as easy as it looked on the surface...

He was injured.

When was the last time he had bled?

Merlin could barely remember those bygone days...

"Interesting, you are truly interesting... Alvin-kun, you are the most interesting person I have ever met.

"But unfortunately, you're right—I really can't let Lily have any more contact with you.

"This is also... for the sake of humanity's future.

"And, that's right~ I don't know any fighting magic. That's far too crude.

"But that's okay.

"I just need to be able to stop you—"

With a muttered monologue, the Merlins raised their staves.

To show his respect, he decided to use his full strength.

This was also the first time he had used this technique on a person.

The name of the Noble Phantasm engraved in Merlin's destiny was already known to him in advance.

Although the time was not yet right, and its full power was not yet unleashed, it was more than enough to deal with an immature White Dragon's child.

The Merlins began to chant in low voices.

"From the Inner Sea of the Star, the watchtower...

"From the corner of paradise, I bestow a blessing upon you.

"O brilliant, dazzling flowers, please welcome your guest with a smile and let him be immersed in your beauty.

"The paradise of dreams, the ideal shore, is now laid out before you.

"Be isolated—

"Garden of Avalon."

Accompanied by the rising and falling chant of the incubi, crimson petals fell from the sky.

In an instant, the world seemed to become completely different, yet somehow, nothing had changed.

"Farewell, Alvin-kun..."

The magus smiled, his figure quietly scattering in the wind and flowers.

*

The night was dyed by the moon, the beauty was late with her makeup.

A faint smile played on her crimson lips. Morgan lay languidly in front of a full-length mirror in her bedroom, examining her reflection.

Her pearl-like toes flexed slightly within the black fabric.

The witch's long, well-proportioned legs shone with the alluring luster of sheer black pantyhose.

She had even specifically chosen a pair of fluorescent high heels, dangling them lightly from her toes.

The thin high heels sparkled with a dotted fluorescence, like twinkling stars.

Her round, jade-like toes, wrapped in black fabric, curled slightly. The witch, her face flushed, reached out and playfully took off the shoes.

"Wearing something like this... is too, too shameful—

"But, Alvin seems to like this style?"

Amazed at her disciple's creative power in clothing, which was comparable to magic, these exquisite outfits were all gifts he had personally woven and tailored for her these past days.

Their dimensions, of course, had been meticulously measured by the boy's own hands, inch by inch, striving to make every thread of fabric fit perfectly.

Thinking of the passionate battle that would ensue tonight, Morgan's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.

Showing off her graceful curves, the deep-blue witch, full of anticipation, chose from various daring styles of lingerie in her wardrobe.

Without warning, as if by a sudden premonition, the fabric, as thin as nothing, quietly slipped from Morgan's hand.

"Alvin's presence...

"It's gone?!"

Morgan suddenly turned her head, looking toward the distant horizon under the night sky.

The bright candlelight in the room flickered and was abruptly extinguished.

The surrounding shadows began to flow and converge silently, climbing up her body inch by inch, solidifying, once again draping the witch in that impenetrable veil of black gauze.

Under the veil, the witch's voice was as cold as the deep, eternal night, desolate and deathly still.

"If anything happens to Alvin, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth and tear your entire clan to pieces...

"MER—LIN—!!!"
