"!"
But Sakuya had already tossed her pocket watch forward before she even launched her attack.
What now comes into view is a scene of swords and bullets all frozen in place.
Does time stop in a specific region?
"saved"
Josuke breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
An attack of that scale would be impossible to react to; we would probably be riddled with holes in an instant.
(The two girls didn't look very old, but they were really ruthless.)
Josuke also abandoned his previous relaxed attitude, realizing he couldn't underestimate his opponent.
"Did they steal my abilities using a Stand?"
Sakuya looked at Miyu and then asked her a question.
"To say it was stolen is not quite right."
"Actually, it's just that her double recorded your identity."
"what?"
Seeing the appearance that the other party had roughly guessed, Homura Akemi remained calm despite being covered in injuries.
Miyu, on the other hand, turned her gaze to Josuke beside her and began to observe him closely.
Her stand, "Shuoyue," although not fully grown yet, already possesses preliminary effects.
That is, it records the "people" that the owner encounters.
It has the power of a "Hall of Heroes" to engrave it within.
When needed, Miyu can insert the recorded "person" into someone else's body, giving that person the power of the inserted person.
It can be described as giving someone a possessive "stand-in".
Of course, in order to maintain that effect, a large consumption of magic power is essential.
But for Homura Akemi and Miyu, it was practically no cost at all.
When "New Moon" was first created, Miyu's strong emotions caused "Emiya Shirou" to be engraved in it as a memory.
That was also the "substitute" she had previously inserted into Homura Akemi's body.
Therefore, Homura Akemi is able to use her brother's "projection magic" unconditionally.
The reason I went out with Homura Akemi today wasn't just to fight Caster.
Even if Homura Akemi has "Projection Magic" to make up for her lack of firepower, it will still be very difficult for her to defeat an opponent who manipulates time.
Therefore, this is the significance of Meiyou's visit.
Using the power of the "new moon," she recorded the existence of "Caster (Sakuya Izayoi)" and gave it to Homura Akemi.
In this way, the gap between people with similar abilities can be leveled.
At this moment, Miyu also noticed Josuke Higashikata's amazing Stand ability.
The recording range for "new moon" requires Miyu to be nearby.
Aside from characters like "Emiya Shirou," who rely on memories and excessively strong emotions to force their way in, there are relatively few exceptions.
Sakuya had already sensed the time manipulation ability the moment Homura Akemi fired her gun, which is why she deduced that Miyu's Stand might have stolen her power.
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
"Tsk, this looks like it's going to be a lot of trouble."
Josuke and Sakuya changed direction, and with the retrieved pocket watch, the attack that had just paused completely renovated the ground where they had been standing, as if it had been thoroughly cleaned.
"Master, can I entrust that girl to you?"
"Wow? It's rare for you to actually ask me for a favor."
"Because I have to fight seriously from now on, it will be difficult to pay attention to what's around me."
"Hey, no problem, Stand user against Stand user, Servant against Servant."
Upon hearing Sakuya's voice, Josuke readily accepted.
"Don't think about it!"
Homura Akemi knew the other party's plan and was thinking of taking out her machine gun to fire when suddenly her field of vision changed.
"!"
An ancient and massive mansion came into view, its blood-red glow making it look eerie.
Looking back, all that could be seen was an endless forest and a lake filled with thick fog.
"This is.?"
With a vague sense of foreboding, Homura Akemi then looked up and saw the maid standing inside through the open, old door.
"Here, we can fight without restraint."
"Being in that kind of environment all the time makes it difficult for me to perform to my full potential."
Her eyes even glowed crimson. Standing upright in the courtyard, Sakuya looked at Homura Akemi outside the gate and spoke.
……
"Archer?!"
Miyu was stunned to see Homura Akemi vanish into thin air.
"Ugh, did I drag someone into that haunted house place again?"
"Koichi was so scared that he cried back then, well, it was a bit creepy there."
"But it's quite suitable for dividing the battlefield."
"Next, the disobedient children need to be properly educated."
Having summoned the Crazy Diamond, Josuke looked at Miyu and became serious.
Even without the Servant who manipulates time to help him, he was still confident that he could win the battle between Masters.
Subduing the girl and then taking the Dragon Ball would be their victory.
"projection.!"
Knowing that the other party intended to attack, Miyu immediately used "Projection Magic".
"Boooooooh!!"
"Dulala lala!!"
Josuke used his Stand to smash all the incoming swords with his fists, standing there with ease.
"An attack of this magnitude is useless against me."
His pose, with one hand on his hip, looked so dashing.
Ever since.
Miyu unleashed her "projection magic" without restraint.
When the overwhelming barrage of swords appeared in the air, as if it were about to rain down, Josuke's face immediately darkened.
"Huh!!!"
He turned and ran towards a place with cover nearby.
What a joke!
It's one thing if it's just a dozen or so, but there are hundreds of them. How could he possibly shoot down all of them with just two hands while controlling Crazy Diamond?
Where does this little girl get so much magic?!
PS:
Replacing Miyu's "stand-in" with someone else would be quite pointless.
Because it seems like it can accomplish many amazing things, but that's all based on the premise that both the user and the user possess immense magical power.
The stronger the "stand-in" you use for someone else's match, the greater the magic consumption will be.
It was only because of the special nature of this situation, with Homura Akemi connected to Miyu, and Miyu herself essentially having unlimited magical power, that the visual effect was so impressive.
Of course, the upper limit is also very high. For example, if you record a mini-Goku and then give it to someone else, you can even force that person to "become a Great Ape".
Chapter 177 176 The outcome is decided?
If he hadn't used Crazy Diamonds to carve a thick "wall" out of the ground,
They might actually get hurt by these weapons.
"However, since they deliberately avoided the vital points, it doesn't seem as bad as I imagined."
