I wrote this fic with an intended audience of someone who is familiar with Fate Universe. Namely Fate Stay Night , Fate Zero, Fate Hollow Ataraxia and Fate Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya. As optional material Fate Apocrypha and Fate Grand Order. And of course crossover with Campione!. There were many references throughout the story that will be understood and more entertaining if you are familiar with the context.
The previous chapter, Illya faced an enemy that Kusanagi Godou fought in Campione novel volume 13 chapter 3. This chapter is the continuation, and Kusanagi Godou fought her in volume 13 chapter 4,5,6.
I think it would be interesting to read while comparing the differences between Godou and Illya in fighting the Fire Goddess. Actually, you should read Godou version before reading this! It would be more fun knowing the differences.
Disclaimer: I do not own F/sn or Campione!
10. Stolen
The distance of thousand kilometers from the beach to an island in the southern sea was covered in ten minutes. It could be faster, but Rider took account of sound pollution and supersonic shockwave. She raised altitude to the upper atmosphere to minimize any disturbance.
They arrived at a mid-sized island. There was a tall mountain at the center, surrounded by forest. The forest itself looked like it had several different areas, divided by plant type.
"This island is artificial, it was created less than five years ago. The forest is comprised of several different zones, each with different climates. The forest is filled with divine and magical energy that befuddle the senses and entrap people within. It is essentially a maze in the form of forest. The energy also extended upward to the air above it. Any attempt to traverse through the air would be blocked. The Caster temple is located at the center of the maze, that mountain."
Rider summarized all the island nature in short speech. The detection ability of Vimana was superb.
They were now floating above the island shore. Currently they were discussing their next course of action.
Saber was listening to Illya's idea. She was listing the things they can do
"Here Saber. What should we do next?
A. Use Ea to destroy the island in one hit.
B. Use double Excaliblast to the mountain.
C. Fly Vimana to outer space and descend to the mountain from above.
D. Burn the whole forest with Sul-sagana.
E. Use many Rule Breaker and Gae Dearg as Broken Phantasm and rain them to the forest.
F. Bomb the island with nuclear weapon.
G. Do it the old fashioned way and break through normally."
Saber chose B. Archer chose A. Rider chose C. Lancer didn't care either way.
Illya chose E and continued to G.
"Why doing it the hard way?" Saber asked. They can win easily with firepower alone. Because the island was artificial, and there was no other resident, they didn't have to worry about collateral damage or casualties.
"Kukuku. Saber, you don't understand. If we end it with one hit, where is the fun? We should let that crazy bitch provide more entertainment for us. The more she struggles, the more amusing it is."
"So Archer. Attack that forest!" Illya commanded.
Archer silently obeyed Illya's order. He traced Rule Breaker and Gae Dearg and shoot them one by one as Broken Phantasm to different spots of the forest.
"The maze is unraveling but the progress is slower than expected." Rider reported.
"Maybe we need brute force approach. What do you say we shoot Excaliblast to the maze?" Illya suggested.
"It would not be as effective as Excaliblast from the ground." Saber stated.
"Then we go down. Rider. Put us down."
They went down to the beach. Vimana was stored back. Illya was about to order Saber to use her Noble Phantasm, but she held back. There was a feeling of being watched.
"Oooi. Fire Goddess. I know you are watching. If you don't come out I will burn your island~~" Illya shouted to the sky.
Dazzling light descended from the sky, glittering as brilliantly as sunlight reflecting off the surface of water. Countless lights gathered together. This dazzling brightness swirled in a vortex resembling a galaxy and descended.
A sparkling radiance shaped in young girl body appeared in the sky. It was still big, maybe the height was around twenty meters. The presence of a Servant was clear. Caster was actually present but she still concealed her true appearance. She floated in the sky above.
"Fufufu. I didn't expect that Lord Hero would be here so quickly. You are more resourceful than I imagined. Are you so impatient to meet me?" The Fire Goddess said in rich lovely voice. Her laughter was pleasing the ear, entrancing all mortal men who heard it.
But Illya had abnormal magic resistance. And she was a girl, not man. "I want to kill you to prevent any trouble in the future. Unless you accept my offer and join my army?"
"Ufufufu. I prefer Lord Hero to come join me in this island instead. This island will be our love nest."
"This island?" Illya looked around. "How tasteless. You created this island just for trapping your lover?"
"Ufufu. You misunderstand. This island was created for my former lover Alexander-sama. He is also a present-generation hero, the same King as you Lord Hero."
Illya tilted her head. Same King?
Saber whispered to her. (I think she meant another child of Pandora).
Illya nodded and asked. "So this Alexander is also the child of Pandora?"
"Yes. He is a powerful hero. Worthy to be this goddess lover. Ufufufu. In my view, a man must first possess a strong body and heroic mettle in order to become mine. My dear, by my eyes of a goddess, I can tell you are my type of man"
"Eh? If you already have a lover why you want a new one? Don't tell me... he left you?" Illya asked innocently.
"... Yes. Alexander-sama got bored living in this island and left. Before he left he use his power to create labyrinth so I can't pursue him. It took me three days to finally get out. But I decided to keep this island he left me as memento of our love and seek for a new lover."
Illya got suspicious. There was no way a major character like that spent time with this witch without purpose. "Tell me more. How did you two meet?"
Maybe because women were prone to gossip and rambling about their own love story, but Caster had no problem telling Illya. She told her about Alexander reviving her from long slumber. He was seeking for A King who Manifest at the End of an Era. He gave her a divine artifact to create artificial island. He became her lover for a time until he got bored.
Illya processed this information and concluded. "Basically, you got duped. He deceived you for his own purposes. And when he already got what he wanted, he dumped you. Are you sure you are not Medea? That is very much like how Jason treated her."
"..."
"This Alexander is a jerk who toyed with women's feeling. Enemy of Women! I would give him a lesson if I met him. Are you sure you don't want to join me? I would hate to kill you after hearing about your mistreatment."
"My! I am happy that you care for me that much Lord Hero. But I think I like it more if you come to me instead. Please accept my invitation."
Something was teleported to the edge of the forest. A fifteen meters tall creature. It had muscled body. He only wears loincloth, showing his extraordinary muscle. Instead of two eyes, it had a big one eye on its head. Cyclops. A creature from Greek Mythology.
Illya didn't bat an eye. She just lazily said her command. "Berserker."
Heracles materialized and charged to the tall creature.
"▂▂▃▃▄▅▅!"
Comparing the size, Heracles was only 2.5 meters tall. He was a lot smaller than Cyclops. But the creature was completely defeated in an instant.
Berserker slashed both ankles with the golden axe. And then he slashed the shins. Because of the wounds, the Cyclops can't stand and fall. While it was falling down, he jumped and slashed upward to the groin. When the Cyclops had completely fell to the ground, he cut the right hand. And the left hand. And then he hacked at the body repeatedly.
The Cyclops had no chance to counterattack. It died and disappear in motes of light.
"So Ferocious! My Lord Hero is truly warrior with great strength."
Illya felt a premonition of threat. Caster was too relaxed. She was planning something
Caster spoke again. "In that case, I shall not be stingy. Come, you girls, demons of the wind! Hum for the terrifying Devil King the song held in reserve, one he cannot hear!"
Illya prepared herself for an attack. But instead of an attack, she felt something foreign entered her body. A foreign magic! A spell from inside?
A great many geometric patterns appeared in the sky, tracing out a glowing magic circle.
Then the goddess chanted: "Come. Before a beautiful goddess, sharp swords are unnecessary, are they not? Violent spears and arrows for shooting prey are likewise useless. Shed your armor, throw down your shield, come to my side!"
She felt something was taken from her. At the same time, she felt the Command Spells at her left arm disappeared. In its stead, a stylized [Cup] emblem manifested in the magic circle in the sky.
'This is bad. She can steal Noble Phantasm!' Illya thought.
"O great and valiant hero, hurry over to my side!" The goddess proceeded to chant further.
Illya felt another things taken away within her body. Immediately, the magic circle in the sky displayed emblems of [Throne] and emblem of circle full of glyph written in chaotic manner.
Illya frantically flushed the foreign magic with her own magic, her magic circuit shining. The spell was neutralized, but it took two more Noble Phantasm with it. Emblem of [Cup] which was slightly different from the first one manifested in the magic circle, and followed by [Doors]
Illya felt her connection to the Gate of Babylon vanished. At the same time, the Golden Armor, the Veil of Isis, and the Golden Axe held by Berserker disappeared. She checked the others. 'Call to the Throne', 'Lesser Grail Recycle', 'Avenger's Loop', 'Cup of Heaven', all gone.
"Fufufu. Using magic spell on a Godslayer is difficult but... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"
The Fire Goddess was saying something but she suddenly screamed in pain.
Illya had a suspicion in what caused Caster screamed in pain. She smiled cruelly.
Fire Goddess POV
The Fire Goddess name was Circe. She was the daughter of Sun God Helios. She was the aunt of Medea of Colchis. She was featured in the story Odyssey, where she charmed the hero Odysseus to stay in her island.
After discovering a new hero to love a month ago, she sent her minions to the islands in the north. She tested him to see if he was worthy to be her lover. Surprisingly, the new hero was even stronger than she expected. He commanded Divine Warriors as his Authority.
She didn't expect him to chase her so quickly to her island after she retreated. Circe hadn't prepared another minion, so she only had one Cyclops. The snake and eagle were killed earlier.
But she had another plan. She had a spell to steal a portion of divine power. She could steal Godslayer Authority by applying this magic. Normally, a Godslayer's magic resistance would nullify any spell, but there was a loophole. It could be applied internally to take effect.
A kiss was usual method. Oral intake such as food or drink can also work. But by using wind and delivering the magic through Godslayer's breath, she could do it with the same effect.
She chanted the spell and used the wind to deliver her magic. The spell took effect and the Lord Hero's Authorities were successfully stolen.
"Fufufu. Using magic spell on a godslayer is difficult but... "
While adressing the new hero, she felt the new Authorities were settling within her and...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" She screamed.
She felt pain. Enormous pain. It was like thousand needles stabbing her from under the skin in her whole body.
She frantically tried to find out what was causing the pain. She had clairvoyance that can divine many phenomenon. The answer came to her mind. 'Call to the Throne of Heroes'. 'Lesser Grail Recycle'. The stolen Authorities. 'Why?'
Another answer came. 'Incompatible. Imitating Holy Grail. Need special body. Need Vessel.'
Impossible! An Authority tailored for specific person, with a special kind of body? She never heard something like that before! Even she, a goddess, didn't have a body required for it.
"She stole the gate and Servant contracts. Also the Recycle. I still have the others." A young girl voice was heard. The same voice continued. "Lancer, you protect me. The rest of you, use your Noble Phantasm without holding back, aim for that mountain or that witch!"
Circe opened her eyes while enduring pain. She saw in the place of the new Lord Hero now stood a young girl. She must be no older than twelve; her long hair was snowy white. Replacing the golden armor and helmet was a sky-blue dress.
'No way! The new Lord Hero is a girl?'
But why did she gave order normally as if she would be obeyed? Circe knew that all five Divine Warriors had been transferred to her control. And why did she stab a weird looking dagger to the Blue Knight? And why the Blue Knight didn't resist, instead he looked amused!
And then she felt another pain. Enormous amount of magic power was absorbed. Why? She searched the source. The black giant. He absorbed great amount of mana from her.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"
The black giant body swelled, red lines appearing on it. He absorbed mana in absurd quantity.
She divined the problem and the information came to her mind.
'Heracles. Insane. Why? How?'
Information came to her mind about the Divine Warrior, something she couldn't do before this. But how did this happen to Heracles, the greatest hero of the Greek Mythology?
She changed her attention to the other Divine Warriors. Three of them were now standing side by side in formation, while the Blue Knight stood beside the young snow-haired girl. She had felt that the connection Blue Knight had been lost. How? That dagger?
"You. Restrain her." The real identity of Lord Hero disappointed her, but she can think about it later. She gave orders to the three Divine Warriors to capture the girl.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"
Heracles roared in insanity, looking for target. Then the young girl shouted. "There! That woman! Enemy is there!" Obeying the young girl, Heracles ran to the mountain without looking back. He approached Circe's position, but she was not worried because she floated high in the air.
'How?' Circe was astounded. 'The control of Heracles is in me and he is insane. How can she order him?'
And the three Divine Servants were still not obeying Circe's command. They seemed to look at her in amusement while gathering energy. The Silver Knight and Red Knight's expression was unreadable because of their helmet, but the woman with blindfold was totally smirking.
The Silver Knight brandished a golden sword and raised it overhead.
The Red Knight held a bow and created a spiral arrow.
The purple haired woman with blindfold stabbed her own neck and created a magical circle with her blood.
And while this was happening, all of them absorbed great amount of mana from Circe.
Circe was a goddess that had great magic. Her magical energy was bigger than normal Heretic Gods. But the drain this time was too great even for her. And it was to fuel attacks aimed at herself!
A beam of golden light destroyed the top of the mountain. The base of the mountain was attacked by the strange arrow. Circe's base was destroyed instantly.
A Pegasus shot from magical circle charged to Circe and she had to evade. Circe's body screamed in pain by the movement.
Why? Why didn't they obey her? She had already stolen their control. She tried to use the other Authority but it was refusing her.
And then the Divine Warriors prepared another attack. Her mana reserve was drained again. She tried to mentally command Heracles but he didn't listen. 'Why? How? I must stop them from draining me further. How?'
In the middle of the pain and clouded mind, a ray of hope was seen. COMMAND SPELL. An order that couldn't be refused.
Maybe if Circe was not enduring pain, she would have clearer mind and speak different order. But not this time. She was in panic and just wanted to end the mana drain
"STOP"
The strange tattoos that had appeared earlier on her arm shined and vanished. Instantly, the three Divine Warriors stopped whatever they were doing. But after a moment of standing still, they moved again. This time with different method. Apparently they interpreted the order as 'stop your current action'
The Silver Knight was charging at her. The Red Knight held a twin black and white sword and threw them at Circe. The Purple haired woman called Pegasus and rode its back. She flew to the sky as if targeting her.
"STAND DOWN! DON'T MOVE AT ALL!"
A second panicked order. In her hazy mind Circe got information that there were only three commands. She already wasted two. She desperately avoided the spinning two swords flying at her.
Her body was in pain and she needed to release the incompatible Authority. But to do that was the same as giving weapon back to the enemy. Either way, she needed to eliminate them first.
She gave the third command. But this time, she only order the blindfolded woman.
"KILL HERACLES!"
The blindfolded woman used her pegasus and became a comet. The shining comet shot to the ground and crashed at Heracles.
Circe thought that this was good. If Heracles was finished, she can order the others to kill each other.
But unexpectedly, Heracles didn't die. He revived back from the mortal wound and roared.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"
Heracles use his fist to punch the woman. The tired woman evaded using Pegasus, retreating to approach the young white-haired girl. When she was 20 meters from the young girl, she dismissed the Pegasus, turned back, and faced Heracles.
The woman had a thin smile on her lips. She recklessly charged to Heracles and was killed by his many punches. Her body disappeared in motes of light.
The Red Knight and Silver Knight were still immobile. Circe inspected Heracles more closely. Twelve Lives. She needed to focus on killing him. His mana consumption was too great. And she could eliminate other Divine Warriors by pitting them against Heracles.
She used the Command Spell again, this time for the Silver Knight. "KILL HERACLES!"
Silver Knight rushed to Heracles and slashed at him. But the sword didn't hurt Heracles at all. They fought each other, Heracles only using his fists and kick, and Silver Knight agilely maneuvering. After doing this for a while, Silver Knight thrust his sword forward and release a tornado of wind from the sword. It tore through Heracles body and split it in two from the shoulder. Heracles died.
And soon revived. But Silver Knight didn't face Heracles. He was facing Circe and gathering energy in his golden sword. He wanted to shoot that golden beam at her! Circe felt a big drain of mana, her own mana was used to fuel the attack aimed at her!
But it was suicide. Heracles would kill Silver Knight even if he managed to swing that sword.
"Guh. 'O light of dawn, offer up to me the shield of gold!" As her facade, the vortex of light spread itself out like a canopy to block the incoming attack.
"EXCALIBUR"
In the same time that the Silver Knight swing his sword, Heracles punched him fatally from above. Silver Knight died instantly, disappearing in motes of light.
But the incomplete blast still came at her. She blocked the attack, but it was too powerful. Her shield would be destroyed in seconds. Circe used teleportation to escape to another place using the fraction of time the shield bought.
Circe appeared on another side of the island. Her appearance was now only a shadow shaped like a young woman. She was two meters tall. She had less energy to maintain her concealment magic. Expending her mana to supply that magical blast and also using shield to block it was very exhausting.
But Heracles still had ten lives. Apparently the Silver Knight interpret the command as "only kill once". She would rectify her mistake. Circe gave order to the Red Knight.
"You. Kill Heracles until he completely die. Repeatedly." The Command Spell shined and disappeared.
The Red Knight didn't rush to Heracles, instead he walked leisurely while chanting. When he was ten meters from Heracles, he raised his hand and chanted "Unlimited Blade Works"
A burning dome of fire envelop them. Circe couldn't see anything inside it. But she knew that at this time she was heavily drained of mana. That Heracles was being killed repeatedly and that really drained mana from her for the resurrection. And that dome of fire also use a lot of mana.
"This is ridiculous. That little girl maintained these five warriors by herself? How much magical energy she have?"
"Hey witch. What's the matter with you? Feeling tired? Maybe your age is catching up with you. Ohohohoho. The elderly really has low stamina. Ohohohohoho." The little girl was taunting her.
"I will punish you for disrespecting me, little girl. And also for deceiving me!"
"Deceiving you? Whatever do you mean?" The white-haired little girl smiled mischievously.
"You are not a male!"
"You are the one jumping to conclusion on your own! I never said I am a male!" The young girl said haughtily.
"You never said you are a girl!"
"You never ask~~. Ahahahahaha." The little girl laugh exaggeratedly.
Circe got really furious. That little girl was deliberately toying at her and taunting her.
"Hey witch, why don't you come here. We should have a little fun while waiting for the guys inside that." The Blue Knight with red spear taunted her.
Circe didn't really want to take a risk. She was drained of magical energy and it would be hard to attack at her condition. She ignored the taunt and waited. The other party was disappointed but they also waited.
Then, the dome of fire vanished. Heracles appeared, his body was full of swords stabbed to it. The Red Knight also appeared, his body broken and bloodied.
"Eight times. I leave the rest to you." The Red Knight said to the little girl and disappeared in motes of light. The swords sticking to Heracles also disappeared.
Heracles had two more lives. He looked for the nearest target and locked his sight on Blue Knight. The Blue Knight leaped away from the little girl and took a stance.
"By this two Command Spell I order you. Use all your power to kill Heracles!" That little girl suddenly used her Command Spell.
In that moment, the red spear was instantly filled with demonic aura. Not a second later, the Blue Knight moved. He moved faster than lightning, stabbing his spear to Heracles heart. Heracles had no time to dodge.
"Gae Bolg!"
The spear strike true to the target. Heracles died.
"Hey Lancer. You understand, right?" The little girl spoke.
"Yes yes." The Blue Knight pulled his spear and stood still. Soon, Heracles revived and killed him with his fist. The Blue Knight didn't resist and let himself be killed.
Circe was perplexed by that action. She understood that after that attack, the Blue Knight's spear would not be able to scratch Heracles. But even if his spear was not effective anymore, why didn't he change target and attack Circe instead? Why did all the Divine Servants seem eager to die?
No matter, only one enemy remained. Circe would not spare her.
Circe used the still intact Command Spell set for Heracles. "Kill her!" The Command Spell shines.
Heracles looked around but he didn't attack the little girl.
'What? Why? What is happening? Why he didn't obey me even when I use Command Spell?'
She used it again. "Kill her!" The Command Spell shines and second tattoo vanished.
Heracles was still not obeying.
Circe was getting frustrated and used the third Command Spell. "Kill her!"
Heracles didn't obey. And then the little girl shouted. "Heracles! That woman there is the enemy!"
"▄▄▅▅!"
Heracles roared and charged to Circe's position. She was faraway but with that speed he could reach her in no time. Circe floated to the sky and decided to kill Heracles.
"I call upon the wheel of dawn!" Pointing her finger at the eastern sky, she chanted spell words.
"I implore you to become my spear for piercing the ground, incinerating all existence!"
The time was in the afternoon. The sun had moved to the west and will set in few hours. During this inappropriate time, the sun rose from the east. Circe was planning on unleashing her strongest fire attack that carry element of the sun.
The glow of dawn illuminated the South Seas and the uninhabited island with a rosy tint.
Released by this sun, golden brilliance flew towards Heracles on the ground
The fire attack incinerated Heracles, his body was burnt and disappeared. All his lives were exhausted.
Circe sighed tiredly. She used too much magical energy. But the advantage was with her now. All the Divine Warriors were dead. The Authorities were still held by her, preventing the little girl to use it. She had to endure pain, but this level of pain could be ignored when she gathered her willpower.
She didn't return the Authorities even when in pain. She forced herself to endure. With her clairvoyance she learned the natures of the Authorities stolen. That one Authority was dangerous, that little girl could summon her warriors repeatedly without limit.
"Now little girl." Circe said. "You will pay the price of deceiving me. You have no more pawns."
"You are the one that will be punished for the crime of stealing from the king." The little girl said.
"Punish me? How? Your warriors are dead. Do you have other offensive ability?"
"Hahahaha. I see you are not experienced with the mechanism of Lesser Grail. No wonder you always floated from afar. If there are two Lesser Grails, the souls of the Servants will enter the nearest one."
'What? What is she talking about?' The authority of 'Lesser Grail Recycle' was already stolen. They couldn't be revived now. It was useless.
But... why didn't the souls of the Divine Warriors enter Circe? She already got that 'Lesser Grail Recycle' when those warriors died.
"...!" Circe suddenly thought something.
The blindfolded woman approached the little girl before she died. Because of that, that little girl stood nearer to every warriors when they died. Circe had floated far away for safety. Was that what she meant by two Lesser Grail?
'The Divine Warrior souls naturally entered her without any Authority? What is she?'
But it was useless. What could she do with only souls?
The snow-haired little girl smirked as if reading Circe's mind. She raised her right hand to the sky and shouted:
"ARCHER INSTALL!! "
To Be Continued...
AN
1. The distance and speed
The beach of Kushimoto City (beach near Kyoto) to Kota Kinabalu is more or less 3600 Km. The distance to the island should be roughly the same. If Illya reached it in 10 minutes, the Vimana traveled in speed 21600 Km/hour.
"It surpasses the laws of physics by traveling at the speed of thought"
2. What's with Heracles?
He was insane. Usually Illya kept the mad enhancement in check and restrained him. Maybe Circe can do it if she learned how to do it. But she was in pain, in panic, and didn't have time.
Heracles can't be commanded with regular Command Spell. Illya used that special Command Spell on her whole body to control him. That's why Circe's Command Spell take no effect.
Heracles adores Illya. Even in insanity. Refer to Heaven's Feel route where the mad corrupted blind Heracles stopped his attack when feeling Illya's presence. He would only follow Illya's instruction regardless who is the Master.
Neat, huh?
3. Why can't Circe use Gate of Babylon
The Gate of Babylon had transformed into an Authority but it was originally a Noble Phantasm. It still retained many of Noble Phantasm traits. And one of them was that it would only obey its owner (generally).
A Noble Phantasm can't be used by other person other than its crafter or its true owner. If Saber give Excalibur to Lancer, he wouldn't be able to use it to perform Excaliblast by saying its true name. And Saber wouldn't be able to use Gae Bolg:Spear of Piercing Barbed Death even if she had the spear.
A traced Noble Phantasm recognized Archer or Shirou as the crafter. It would obey the crafter. A traced Gae Bolg by Archer would obey Archer as crafter and Lancer as its owner. (This idea was taken from fanfic "From Fake Dreams", but it matched canon as far as I know)
Also, the skill and mechanism to use that Noble Phantasm is required. You have to be the original wielder or someone like Shirou who could read its history.
All treasures inside Gate of Babylon recognized Illya as their owner. And if she gives one of them to her Servant, it would obey the Servant because it recognized the Servant as an extension of Illya. This is why Berserker had no problem equipping the golden axe.
This was why Circe can't use Gate of Babylon. It refused to serve her, just like a kidnapped maid protesting to her captor. The treasures inside refused to come out, as they still recognized Illya as owner. Stealing Authority didn't mean the Noble Phantasm inside was included.
4. The Servant Contract
It was included in 'Call to the Throne of Heroes'. By stealing this Authority, Circe also steal all Servants Contract and Command Spell. But of course Illya can steal it back using Rule Breaker
5. Noble Phantasm used
a. Strike Air: Hammer of the Wind King
b. Bellerophon.: Bridle of Chivalry
c. Unlimited Blade Works
d. God Hand: Twelve Lives
e. Gáe Dearg: Crimson Rose of Exorcism
The previous chapter, Illya faced an enemy that Kusanagi Godou fought in Campione novel volume 13 chapter 3. This chapter is the continuation, and Kusanagi Godou fought her in volume 13 chapter 4,5,6.
I think it would be interesting to read while comparing the differences between Godou and Illya in fighting the Fire Goddess. Actually, you should read Godou version before reading this! It would be more fun knowing the differences.

10. Stolen
The distance of thousand kilometers from the beach to an island in the southern sea was covered in ten minutes. It could be faster, but Rider took account of sound pollution and supersonic shockwave. She raised altitude to the upper atmosphere to minimize any disturbance.
They arrived at a mid-sized island. There was a tall mountain at the center, surrounded by forest. The forest itself looked like it had several different areas, divided by plant type.
"This island is artificial, it was created less than five years ago. The forest is comprised of several different zones, each with different climates. The forest is filled with divine and magical energy that befuddle the senses and entrap people within. It is essentially a maze in the form of forest. The energy also extended upward to the air above it. Any attempt to traverse through the air would be blocked. The Caster temple is located at the center of the maze, that mountain."
Rider summarized all the island nature in short speech. The detection ability of Vimana was superb.
They were now floating above the island shore. Currently they were discussing their next course of action.
Saber was listening to Illya's idea. She was listing the things they can do
"Here Saber. What should we do next?
A. Use Ea to destroy the island in one hit.
B. Use double Excaliblast to the mountain.
C. Fly Vimana to outer space and descend to the mountain from above.
D. Burn the whole forest with Sul-sagana.
E. Use many Rule Breaker and Gae Dearg as Broken Phantasm and rain them to the forest.
F. Bomb the island with nuclear weapon.
G. Do it the old fashioned way and break through normally."
Saber chose B. Archer chose A. Rider chose C. Lancer didn't care either way.
Illya chose E and continued to G.
"Why doing it the hard way?" Saber asked. They can win easily with firepower alone. Because the island was artificial, and there was no other resident, they didn't have to worry about collateral damage or casualties.
"Kukuku. Saber, you don't understand. If we end it with one hit, where is the fun? We should let that crazy bitch provide more entertainment for us. The more she struggles, the more amusing it is."
"So Archer. Attack that forest!" Illya commanded.
Archer silently obeyed Illya's order. He traced Rule Breaker and Gae Dearg and shoot them one by one as Broken Phantasm to different spots of the forest.
"The maze is unraveling but the progress is slower than expected." Rider reported.
"Maybe we need brute force approach. What do you say we shoot Excaliblast to the maze?" Illya suggested.
"It would not be as effective as Excaliblast from the ground." Saber stated.
"Then we go down. Rider. Put us down."
They went down to the beach. Vimana was stored back. Illya was about to order Saber to use her Noble Phantasm, but she held back. There was a feeling of being watched.
"Oooi. Fire Goddess. I know you are watching. If you don't come out I will burn your island~~" Illya shouted to the sky.
Dazzling light descended from the sky, glittering as brilliantly as sunlight reflecting off the surface of water. Countless lights gathered together. This dazzling brightness swirled in a vortex resembling a galaxy and descended.
A sparkling radiance shaped in young girl body appeared in the sky. It was still big, maybe the height was around twenty meters. The presence of a Servant was clear. Caster was actually present but she still concealed her true appearance. She floated in the sky above.
"Fufufu. I didn't expect that Lord Hero would be here so quickly. You are more resourceful than I imagined. Are you so impatient to meet me?" The Fire Goddess said in rich lovely voice. Her laughter was pleasing the ear, entrancing all mortal men who heard it.
But Illya had abnormal magic resistance. And she was a girl, not man. "I want to kill you to prevent any trouble in the future. Unless you accept my offer and join my army?"
"Ufufufu. I prefer Lord Hero to come join me in this island instead. This island will be our love nest."
"This island?" Illya looked around. "How tasteless. You created this island just for trapping your lover?"
"Ufufu. You misunderstand. This island was created for my former lover Alexander-sama. He is also a present-generation hero, the same King as you Lord Hero."
Illya tilted her head. Same King?
Saber whispered to her. (I think she meant another child of Pandora).
Illya nodded and asked. "So this Alexander is also the child of Pandora?"
"Yes. He is a powerful hero. Worthy to be this goddess lover. Ufufufu. In my view, a man must first possess a strong body and heroic mettle in order to become mine. My dear, by my eyes of a goddess, I can tell you are my type of man"
"Eh? If you already have a lover why you want a new one? Don't tell me... he left you?" Illya asked innocently.
"... Yes. Alexander-sama got bored living in this island and left. Before he left he use his power to create labyrinth so I can't pursue him. It took me three days to finally get out. But I decided to keep this island he left me as memento of our love and seek for a new lover."
Illya got suspicious. There was no way a major character like that spent time with this witch without purpose. "Tell me more. How did you two meet?"
Maybe because women were prone to gossip and rambling about their own love story, but Caster had no problem telling Illya. She told her about Alexander reviving her from long slumber. He was seeking for A King who Manifest at the End of an Era. He gave her a divine artifact to create artificial island. He became her lover for a time until he got bored.
Illya processed this information and concluded. "Basically, you got duped. He deceived you for his own purposes. And when he already got what he wanted, he dumped you. Are you sure you are not Medea? That is very much like how Jason treated her."
"..."
"This Alexander is a jerk who toyed with women's feeling. Enemy of Women! I would give him a lesson if I met him. Are you sure you don't want to join me? I would hate to kill you after hearing about your mistreatment."
"My! I am happy that you care for me that much Lord Hero. But I think I like it more if you come to me instead. Please accept my invitation."
Something was teleported to the edge of the forest. A fifteen meters tall creature. It had muscled body. He only wears loincloth, showing his extraordinary muscle. Instead of two eyes, it had a big one eye on its head. Cyclops. A creature from Greek Mythology.
Illya didn't bat an eye. She just lazily said her command. "Berserker."
Heracles materialized and charged to the tall creature.
"▂▂▃▃▄▅▅!"
Comparing the size, Heracles was only 2.5 meters tall. He was a lot smaller than Cyclops. But the creature was completely defeated in an instant.
Berserker slashed both ankles with the golden axe. And then he slashed the shins. Because of the wounds, the Cyclops can't stand and fall. While it was falling down, he jumped and slashed upward to the groin. When the Cyclops had completely fell to the ground, he cut the right hand. And the left hand. And then he hacked at the body repeatedly.
The Cyclops had no chance to counterattack. It died and disappear in motes of light.
"So Ferocious! My Lord Hero is truly warrior with great strength."
Illya felt a premonition of threat. Caster was too relaxed. She was planning something
Caster spoke again. "In that case, I shall not be stingy. Come, you girls, demons of the wind! Hum for the terrifying Devil King the song held in reserve, one he cannot hear!"
Illya prepared herself for an attack. But instead of an attack, she felt something foreign entered her body. A foreign magic! A spell from inside?
A great many geometric patterns appeared in the sky, tracing out a glowing magic circle.
Then the goddess chanted: "Come. Before a beautiful goddess, sharp swords are unnecessary, are they not? Violent spears and arrows for shooting prey are likewise useless. Shed your armor, throw down your shield, come to my side!"
She felt something was taken from her. At the same time, she felt the Command Spells at her left arm disappeared. In its stead, a stylized [Cup] emblem manifested in the magic circle in the sky.
'This is bad. She can steal Noble Phantasm!' Illya thought.
"O great and valiant hero, hurry over to my side!" The goddess proceeded to chant further.
Illya felt another things taken away within her body. Immediately, the magic circle in the sky displayed emblems of [Throne] and emblem of circle full of glyph written in chaotic manner.
Illya frantically flushed the foreign magic with her own magic, her magic circuit shining. The spell was neutralized, but it took two more Noble Phantasm with it. Emblem of [Cup] which was slightly different from the first one manifested in the magic circle, and followed by [Doors]
Illya felt her connection to the Gate of Babylon vanished. At the same time, the Golden Armor, the Veil of Isis, and the Golden Axe held by Berserker disappeared. She checked the others. 'Call to the Throne', 'Lesser Grail Recycle', 'Avenger's Loop', 'Cup of Heaven', all gone.
"Fufufu. Using magic spell on a Godslayer is difficult but... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"
The Fire Goddess was saying something but she suddenly screamed in pain.
Illya had a suspicion in what caused Caster screamed in pain. She smiled cruelly.
====break====
Fire Goddess POV
The Fire Goddess name was Circe. She was the daughter of Sun God Helios. She was the aunt of Medea of Colchis. She was featured in the story Odyssey, where she charmed the hero Odysseus to stay in her island.
After discovering a new hero to love a month ago, she sent her minions to the islands in the north. She tested him to see if he was worthy to be her lover. Surprisingly, the new hero was even stronger than she expected. He commanded Divine Warriors as his Authority.
She didn't expect him to chase her so quickly to her island after she retreated. Circe hadn't prepared another minion, so she only had one Cyclops. The snake and eagle were killed earlier.
But she had another plan. She had a spell to steal a portion of divine power. She could steal Godslayer Authority by applying this magic. Normally, a Godslayer's magic resistance would nullify any spell, but there was a loophole. It could be applied internally to take effect.
A kiss was usual method. Oral intake such as food or drink can also work. But by using wind and delivering the magic through Godslayer's breath, she could do it with the same effect.
She chanted the spell and used the wind to deliver her magic. The spell took effect and the Lord Hero's Authorities were successfully stolen.
"Fufufu. Using magic spell on a godslayer is difficult but... "
While adressing the new hero, she felt the new Authorities were settling within her and...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" She screamed.
She felt pain. Enormous pain. It was like thousand needles stabbing her from under the skin in her whole body.
She frantically tried to find out what was causing the pain. She had clairvoyance that can divine many phenomenon. The answer came to her mind. 'Call to the Throne of Heroes'. 'Lesser Grail Recycle'. The stolen Authorities. 'Why?'
Another answer came. 'Incompatible. Imitating Holy Grail. Need special body. Need Vessel.'
Impossible! An Authority tailored for specific person, with a special kind of body? She never heard something like that before! Even she, a goddess, didn't have a body required for it.
"She stole the gate and Servant contracts. Also the Recycle. I still have the others." A young girl voice was heard. The same voice continued. "Lancer, you protect me. The rest of you, use your Noble Phantasm without holding back, aim for that mountain or that witch!"
Circe opened her eyes while enduring pain. She saw in the place of the new Lord Hero now stood a young girl. She must be no older than twelve; her long hair was snowy white. Replacing the golden armor and helmet was a sky-blue dress.
'No way! The new Lord Hero is a girl?'
But why did she gave order normally as if she would be obeyed? Circe knew that all five Divine Warriors had been transferred to her control. And why did she stab a weird looking dagger to the Blue Knight? And why the Blue Knight didn't resist, instead he looked amused!
And then she felt another pain. Enormous amount of magic power was absorbed. Why? She searched the source. The black giant. He absorbed great amount of mana from her.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"
The black giant body swelled, red lines appearing on it. He absorbed mana in absurd quantity.
She divined the problem and the information came to her mind.
'Heracles. Insane. Why? How?'
Information came to her mind about the Divine Warrior, something she couldn't do before this. But how did this happen to Heracles, the greatest hero of the Greek Mythology?
She changed her attention to the other Divine Warriors. Three of them were now standing side by side in formation, while the Blue Knight stood beside the young snow-haired girl. She had felt that the connection Blue Knight had been lost. How? That dagger?
"You. Restrain her." The real identity of Lord Hero disappointed her, but she can think about it later. She gave orders to the three Divine Warriors to capture the girl.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"
Heracles roared in insanity, looking for target. Then the young girl shouted. "There! That woman! Enemy is there!" Obeying the young girl, Heracles ran to the mountain without looking back. He approached Circe's position, but she was not worried because she floated high in the air.
'How?' Circe was astounded. 'The control of Heracles is in me and he is insane. How can she order him?'
And the three Divine Servants were still not obeying Circe's command. They seemed to look at her in amusement while gathering energy. The Silver Knight and Red Knight's expression was unreadable because of their helmet, but the woman with blindfold was totally smirking.
The Silver Knight brandished a golden sword and raised it overhead.
The Red Knight held a bow and created a spiral arrow.
The purple haired woman with blindfold stabbed her own neck and created a magical circle with her blood.
And while this was happening, all of them absorbed great amount of mana from Circe.
Circe was a goddess that had great magic. Her magical energy was bigger than normal Heretic Gods. But the drain this time was too great even for her. And it was to fuel attacks aimed at herself!
A beam of golden light destroyed the top of the mountain. The base of the mountain was attacked by the strange arrow. Circe's base was destroyed instantly.
A Pegasus shot from magical circle charged to Circe and she had to evade. Circe's body screamed in pain by the movement.
Why? Why didn't they obey her? She had already stolen their control. She tried to use the other Authority but it was refusing her.
And then the Divine Warriors prepared another attack. Her mana reserve was drained again. She tried to mentally command Heracles but he didn't listen. 'Why? How? I must stop them from draining me further. How?'
In the middle of the pain and clouded mind, a ray of hope was seen. COMMAND SPELL. An order that couldn't be refused.
Maybe if Circe was not enduring pain, she would have clearer mind and speak different order. But not this time. She was in panic and just wanted to end the mana drain
"STOP"
The strange tattoos that had appeared earlier on her arm shined and vanished. Instantly, the three Divine Warriors stopped whatever they were doing. But after a moment of standing still, they moved again. This time with different method. Apparently they interpreted the order as 'stop your current action'
The Silver Knight was charging at her. The Red Knight held a twin black and white sword and threw them at Circe. The Purple haired woman called Pegasus and rode its back. She flew to the sky as if targeting her.
"STAND DOWN! DON'T MOVE AT ALL!"
A second panicked order. In her hazy mind Circe got information that there were only three commands. She already wasted two. She desperately avoided the spinning two swords flying at her.
Her body was in pain and she needed to release the incompatible Authority. But to do that was the same as giving weapon back to the enemy. Either way, she needed to eliminate them first.
She gave the third command. But this time, she only order the blindfolded woman.
"KILL HERACLES!"
The blindfolded woman used her pegasus and became a comet. The shining comet shot to the ground and crashed at Heracles.
Circe thought that this was good. If Heracles was finished, she can order the others to kill each other.
But unexpectedly, Heracles didn't die. He revived back from the mortal wound and roared.
"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"
Heracles use his fist to punch the woman. The tired woman evaded using Pegasus, retreating to approach the young white-haired girl. When she was 20 meters from the young girl, she dismissed the Pegasus, turned back, and faced Heracles.
The woman had a thin smile on her lips. She recklessly charged to Heracles and was killed by his many punches. Her body disappeared in motes of light.
The Red Knight and Silver Knight were still immobile. Circe inspected Heracles more closely. Twelve Lives. She needed to focus on killing him. His mana consumption was too great. And she could eliminate other Divine Warriors by pitting them against Heracles.
She used the Command Spell again, this time for the Silver Knight. "KILL HERACLES!"
Silver Knight rushed to Heracles and slashed at him. But the sword didn't hurt Heracles at all. They fought each other, Heracles only using his fists and kick, and Silver Knight agilely maneuvering. After doing this for a while, Silver Knight thrust his sword forward and release a tornado of wind from the sword. It tore through Heracles body and split it in two from the shoulder. Heracles died.
And soon revived. But Silver Knight didn't face Heracles. He was facing Circe and gathering energy in his golden sword. He wanted to shoot that golden beam at her! Circe felt a big drain of mana, her own mana was used to fuel the attack aimed at her!
But it was suicide. Heracles would kill Silver Knight even if he managed to swing that sword.
"Guh. 'O light of dawn, offer up to me the shield of gold!" As her facade, the vortex of light spread itself out like a canopy to block the incoming attack.
"EXCALIBUR"
In the same time that the Silver Knight swing his sword, Heracles punched him fatally from above. Silver Knight died instantly, disappearing in motes of light.
But the incomplete blast still came at her. She blocked the attack, but it was too powerful. Her shield would be destroyed in seconds. Circe used teleportation to escape to another place using the fraction of time the shield bought.
Circe appeared on another side of the island. Her appearance was now only a shadow shaped like a young woman. She was two meters tall. She had less energy to maintain her concealment magic. Expending her mana to supply that magical blast and also using shield to block it was very exhausting.
But Heracles still had ten lives. Apparently the Silver Knight interpret the command as "only kill once". She would rectify her mistake. Circe gave order to the Red Knight.
"You. Kill Heracles until he completely die. Repeatedly." The Command Spell shined and disappeared.
The Red Knight didn't rush to Heracles, instead he walked leisurely while chanting. When he was ten meters from Heracles, he raised his hand and chanted "Unlimited Blade Works"
A burning dome of fire envelop them. Circe couldn't see anything inside it. But she knew that at this time she was heavily drained of mana. That Heracles was being killed repeatedly and that really drained mana from her for the resurrection. And that dome of fire also use a lot of mana.
"This is ridiculous. That little girl maintained these five warriors by herself? How much magical energy she have?"
"Hey witch. What's the matter with you? Feeling tired? Maybe your age is catching up with you. Ohohohoho. The elderly really has low stamina. Ohohohohoho." The little girl was taunting her.
"I will punish you for disrespecting me, little girl. And also for deceiving me!"
"Deceiving you? Whatever do you mean?" The white-haired little girl smiled mischievously.
"You are not a male!"
"You are the one jumping to conclusion on your own! I never said I am a male!" The young girl said haughtily.
"You never said you are a girl!"
"You never ask~~. Ahahahahaha." The little girl laugh exaggeratedly.
Circe got really furious. That little girl was deliberately toying at her and taunting her.
"Hey witch, why don't you come here. We should have a little fun while waiting for the guys inside that." The Blue Knight with red spear taunted her.
Circe didn't really want to take a risk. She was drained of magical energy and it would be hard to attack at her condition. She ignored the taunt and waited. The other party was disappointed but they also waited.
Then, the dome of fire vanished. Heracles appeared, his body was full of swords stabbed to it. The Red Knight also appeared, his body broken and bloodied.
"Eight times. I leave the rest to you." The Red Knight said to the little girl and disappeared in motes of light. The swords sticking to Heracles also disappeared.
Heracles had two more lives. He looked for the nearest target and locked his sight on Blue Knight. The Blue Knight leaped away from the little girl and took a stance.
"By this two Command Spell I order you. Use all your power to kill Heracles!" That little girl suddenly used her Command Spell.
In that moment, the red spear was instantly filled with demonic aura. Not a second later, the Blue Knight moved. He moved faster than lightning, stabbing his spear to Heracles heart. Heracles had no time to dodge.
"Gae Bolg!"
The spear strike true to the target. Heracles died.
"Hey Lancer. You understand, right?" The little girl spoke.
"Yes yes." The Blue Knight pulled his spear and stood still. Soon, Heracles revived and killed him with his fist. The Blue Knight didn't resist and let himself be killed.
Circe was perplexed by that action. She understood that after that attack, the Blue Knight's spear would not be able to scratch Heracles. But even if his spear was not effective anymore, why didn't he change target and attack Circe instead? Why did all the Divine Servants seem eager to die?
No matter, only one enemy remained. Circe would not spare her.
Circe used the still intact Command Spell set for Heracles. "Kill her!" The Command Spell shines.
Heracles looked around but he didn't attack the little girl.
'What? Why? What is happening? Why he didn't obey me even when I use Command Spell?'
She used it again. "Kill her!" The Command Spell shines and second tattoo vanished.
Heracles was still not obeying.
Circe was getting frustrated and used the third Command Spell. "Kill her!"
Heracles didn't obey. And then the little girl shouted. "Heracles! That woman there is the enemy!"
"▄▄▅▅!"
Heracles roared and charged to Circe's position. She was faraway but with that speed he could reach her in no time. Circe floated to the sky and decided to kill Heracles.
"I call upon the wheel of dawn!" Pointing her finger at the eastern sky, she chanted spell words.
"I implore you to become my spear for piercing the ground, incinerating all existence!"
The time was in the afternoon. The sun had moved to the west and will set in few hours. During this inappropriate time, the sun rose from the east. Circe was planning on unleashing her strongest fire attack that carry element of the sun.
The glow of dawn illuminated the South Seas and the uninhabited island with a rosy tint.
Released by this sun, golden brilliance flew towards Heracles on the ground
The fire attack incinerated Heracles, his body was burnt and disappeared. All his lives were exhausted.
Circe sighed tiredly. She used too much magical energy. But the advantage was with her now. All the Divine Warriors were dead. The Authorities were still held by her, preventing the little girl to use it. She had to endure pain, but this level of pain could be ignored when she gathered her willpower.
She didn't return the Authorities even when in pain. She forced herself to endure. With her clairvoyance she learned the natures of the Authorities stolen. That one Authority was dangerous, that little girl could summon her warriors repeatedly without limit.
"Now little girl." Circe said. "You will pay the price of deceiving me. You have no more pawns."
"You are the one that will be punished for the crime of stealing from the king." The little girl said.
"Punish me? How? Your warriors are dead. Do you have other offensive ability?"
"Hahahaha. I see you are not experienced with the mechanism of Lesser Grail. No wonder you always floated from afar. If there are two Lesser Grails, the souls of the Servants will enter the nearest one."
'What? What is she talking about?' The authority of 'Lesser Grail Recycle' was already stolen. They couldn't be revived now. It was useless.
But... why didn't the souls of the Divine Warriors enter Circe? She already got that 'Lesser Grail Recycle' when those warriors died.
"...!" Circe suddenly thought something.
The blindfolded woman approached the little girl before she died. Because of that, that little girl stood nearer to every warriors when they died. Circe had floated far away for safety. Was that what she meant by two Lesser Grail?
'The Divine Warrior souls naturally entered her without any Authority? What is she?'
But it was useless. What could she do with only souls?
The snow-haired little girl smirked as if reading Circe's mind. She raised her right hand to the sky and shouted:
"ARCHER INSTALL!! "
======00======
To Be Continued...
AN
1. The distance and speed
The beach of Kushimoto City (beach near Kyoto) to Kota Kinabalu is more or less 3600 Km. The distance to the island should be roughly the same. If Illya reached it in 10 minutes, the Vimana traveled in speed 21600 Km/hour.
"It surpasses the laws of physics by traveling at the speed of thought"
2. What's with Heracles?
He was insane. Usually Illya kept the mad enhancement in check and restrained him. Maybe Circe can do it if she learned how to do it. But she was in pain, in panic, and didn't have time.
Heracles can't be commanded with regular Command Spell. Illya used that special Command Spell on her whole body to control him. That's why Circe's Command Spell take no effect.
Heracles adores Illya. Even in insanity. Refer to Heaven's Feel route where the mad corrupted blind Heracles stopped his attack when feeling Illya's presence. He would only follow Illya's instruction regardless who is the Master.
Neat, huh?
3. Why can't Circe use Gate of Babylon
The Gate of Babylon had transformed into an Authority but it was originally a Noble Phantasm. It still retained many of Noble Phantasm traits. And one of them was that it would only obey its owner (generally).
A Noble Phantasm can't be used by other person other than its crafter or its true owner. If Saber give Excalibur to Lancer, he wouldn't be able to use it to perform Excaliblast by saying its true name. And Saber wouldn't be able to use Gae Bolg:Spear of Piercing Barbed Death even if she had the spear.
A traced Noble Phantasm recognized Archer or Shirou as the crafter. It would obey the crafter. A traced Gae Bolg by Archer would obey Archer as crafter and Lancer as its owner. (This idea was taken from fanfic "From Fake Dreams", but it matched canon as far as I know)
Also, the skill and mechanism to use that Noble Phantasm is required. You have to be the original wielder or someone like Shirou who could read its history.
All treasures inside Gate of Babylon recognized Illya as their owner. And if she gives one of them to her Servant, it would obey the Servant because it recognized the Servant as an extension of Illya. This is why Berserker had no problem equipping the golden axe.
This was why Circe can't use Gate of Babylon. It refused to serve her, just like a kidnapped maid protesting to her captor. The treasures inside refused to come out, as they still recognized Illya as owner. Stealing Authority didn't mean the Noble Phantasm inside was included.
4. The Servant Contract
It was included in 'Call to the Throne of Heroes'. By stealing this Authority, Circe also steal all Servants Contract and Command Spell. But of course Illya can steal it back using Rule Breaker
5. Noble Phantasm used
a. Strike Air: Hammer of the Wind King
b. Bellerophon.: Bridle of Chivalry
c. Unlimited Blade Works
d. God Hand: Twelve Lives
e. Gáe Dearg: Crimson Rose of Exorcism
