"Yan!"
Hinagiku and Mikoto rushed over.
"Are you okay?"
"I am fine."
Wu Yan said with a bitter and frustrated smile. He also lost his frosty glare.
"Bazett might not know but you two should know I can't die."
"But..."
Hinagiku and Mikoto looked at the blood dripping out the side of his mouth.
"It's just a little internal bleeding, nothing much."
He wiped the blood away.
"My heart already regenerated."
Fragarach pierced him before he swung Gae Bolg.
However, a pierced heart can't kill a True Ancestor.
Since he was alive then, he is alive now. Since he was hurt in the past, his heart had already regenerated before Bazett hit the floor.
"Are you really okay?"
Rin asked.
Her eyes looked at his b.l.o.o.d.y lips and his similarly bloodied s.h.i.+rt. She wanted to ask how he was okay after getting hit with a causality weapon.
"Huh?"
He teased her.
"Are you disappointed that I didn't die?"
"Yeah!"
Rin glared at him.
"The sooner you die, the better, you can't hurt anyone then!"
"Aiya~ I can't die yet."
He shrugged.
"I haven't had enough fun with a certain snappy lady..."
"Don't call me snappy!"
Rin retorted.
"I will make my family great again!"
"Yeah?"
He pursed his lips.
"Good luck with that."
"You..."
"Hey!"
Mikoto told them off.
"Don't flirt in front of us."
"Stop it, Mikoto."
Hinagiku shook her head.
"You know his moral and ethical standards."
"Well..."
He tried to play it cool.
Then, they heard a weak voice.
"Condition, fulfilled..."
A giant wave of magic swept over them from the corner where Bazett was.
They turned to look at the mana storm as their expressions changed.
The magic was coming from the battered Bazett.
She was emitting magic power when that would have been impossible since she should be dead.
"Huh?"
The trio shrieked in exasperation.
"This still isn't over yet?!"
Wu Yan frowned with disapproval.
Bazett slowly stood up as the runes on her lit up.
It seems like some sort of resurrection rune.
Indeed, what they saw next confirmed it.
Bazett's heart and the ma.s.sive pierced wound at her back regenerated.
The mana storm faded as Bazett's rune also disappeared.
Bazett opened her eyes before slamming her palms against the ground. She jumped away from them.
"You..."
Hinagiku couldn't believe it.
"You're alive?"
"H-How?"
Mikoto also gasped.
"Didn't Gae Bolg pierce her heart too?"
"I can't believe it too."
Bazett growled with a pair of sharp eyes. She looked at Wu Yan like he was a monster.
"To think I needed my resurrection runes in a mission other than fighting Heroic Spirits and Sealing Designation targets..."
"Resurrection..."
Rin's eyes widened.
"Wait, are those runes the ones that will revive the user when their hearts are stopped?!"
"You're right."
Bazett looked at her chest.
"It's a n.o.ble Phantasm-level rune."
Hinagiku and Mikoto took a step back while Rin gasped.
The Answerer effect of her Fragarach gave her the ability to instant-kill opponents when they use their ultimate skills.
She can dull pain, take a ma.s.sive amount of damage, stop her blood, and fight like a CQC monster, she is already a one-person tactical squad.
Add resurrection on top of that and you have a monster that won't go down no matter what.
She is beyond just scary.
Anyone would be hard-pressed to counter her. But, now, she has met her match.
"Compared to that one over there, I still have much to learn."
Bazett stared at Wu Yan.
"What do you have to say? Mr. Immortal?"
"No, please, you're flattering me, Undying Lady."
He stepped forward.
"Want to see who runs out of extra lives first?"
"No need."
"If I can repeatedly use my resurrection runes, I don't need Fragarach to force my enemies to seal their ultimate moves."
"Plus..."
She summoned another Fragarch orb to her hand.
"I can't use Fragarach continuously without limits."
She looked at her orb.
"Even if it's the magic sword from the Age of G.o.ds. We only know how to create this one-time use n.o.ble Phantasm. The ritual takes over one month to complete, we can only create 10 per year."
"And, I used two this time around."
Bazett explained.
"I don't have any more resurrections runes on me. Against you, I would lose."
"Oh?"
He laughed.
"Giving up so soon?"
"I am just stating the fact. I need to get the Cla.s.s Cards, dying would impede my mission."
Bazett turned around, picking up her canister of Fragarach orbs.
"One last question."
Bazett asked.
"Are you a Dead Apostle?"
The place turned silent.
He replied.
"Don't put me on the same level as those inferior copies."
"Inferior copies?"
Bazett mumbled before leaping out of the mansion's garden.
"You think I am going to let you..."
Wu Yan wanted to pursue her when Rin pulled him back.
Wu Yan sighed after looking at her anxious look.
