Chapter 113

"It's almost dawn..."

Even though he was a Servant, Charlemagne couldn't help showing signs of fatigue after a whole night of fighting. He began to be thankful that Chaldea's regular combat range did not include the normal Holy Grail War - after all, Chaldea's regular combat range, whether it was Phoenix Chaldea or the New Chaldea that had previously broken through the gates of the Vengeance Realm with him, their regular combat range was a chaotic battlefield where a Lord commanded several Servants to fight.

"I really envy those guys with high durability—" Charlemagne grabbed a corner of the cloak and wiped the sweat off his face, but still held the sword and used his magic power to sense the situation nearby, "Huh, if it weren't for the skill "Royal Way Trampling", and the Master's supplementary Command Seals at the most critical moment..."

"Otherwise, we will disappoint the Master and his people."

At the same time, with the light of the rising sun, the remains of the puppet-like enemy that Charlemagne had destroyed in the battle the night before disappeared without a trace the moment they came into direct contact with the sunlight - as if Charlemagne's fight last night was just his imagination, and there was no trace of them except for the exhausted Charlemagne.

The bell rang - the remaining six members of the new Group A remained in the guest room as they did yesterday, and without hiding from Asuka Hanae who belonged to the Red Camp, they discussed today's action teaming.

"...The Red Camp has been almost completely wiped out." Mustard closed the book in her hand and looked directly at Kirshtalia. "Even if we don't consider this, it's already the sixth day - no matter from which angle we look at it, we must join the battlefield today, otherwise we will be jointly targeted by the Red Camp and the Black Camp."

"Of course we have to join the battlefield." Kirshtalia nodded in agreement with Mustard's idea, but then looked at Taigong Wang who was hiding behind Peperoncino, "But, Ritsuka hasn't left the chessboard yet. No matter how much Charlemagne should protect the Lord, we can't really let him guard Ritsuka alone for a full 24 hours - the focus of our operation is Ritsuka, so we must first ensure Ritsuka's safety."

"And yesterday they took in the survivors of the Red Faction's civil war." Tai Gongwang cleared his throat and sighed helplessly at Kirshtalia who had been staring at him. "Really, you didn't think of me so often when you were in Chaldea - with the current manpower, you should at least split into three groups."

"Well, after all, when we talk about the magic world, we have to mention the Clock Tower. Before Mr. Tai Gongwang came to Chaldea—" Mashu coughed awkwardly, avoiding the gazes of Tai Gongwang scanning the crowd, "there was already Mr. Zhuge Kongming who used Lord El-Melloi II as a vessel for possession, and Mr. Sima Zhongda who also used Miss Leness as a vessel for possession."

"After all, I've been used to seeking guidance from Master Nise..."

"After all, those two are very famous military advisors." Peperoncino suddenly laughed, "And when it comes to Tai Gongwang——"

"If we talk about popularity - in terms of military strategists, perhaps the most famous military strategist servant in the world must be Zhuge Kongming." Ophelia concluded, "And when it comes to Taigong Wang, he is not a military strategist. Well, although the internal conversations in the Crown Chat Room usually use Abe Haruaki and Merlin as counterparts..."

"But if we look at what he did during his lifetime, the person who corresponds to Merlin is undoubtedly Tai Gongwang."

"Yes, in the legends related to Tai Gong Wang, the more famous one is definitely not the record of him leading the army to victory as a military strategist." Peperoncino's expression returned to normal, "but the story of him assisting King Wen and King Wu in defeating King Zhou - just like Merlin assisted King Arthur in becoming a qualified Lord of Britain."

"You should look at it from the perspective of the 'King's Trainer'." Jie Yingzi crossed her arms and looked up at Tai Gongwang. "However, since Tai Gongwang is also a military strategist - when we have no other military strategist servants to choose from, or we ourselves cannot make arrangements that meet the requirements of the plan..."

"It's his turn now."

Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka passed through the gate between the thrones in the holy city of Camelot. She stopped in front of the sea at the end of the world behind the throne, turned her head and took a last deep look at the knight who turned into dust and collapsed in her memory, and then resolutely jumped into the sea that was still shining with golden sunlight.

As she continued to fall, Fujimaru Ritsuka even suspected that she would drown in the sea at the end of the world in her memories - however, when she finally escaped from the sea, all she saw was a sea of ​​monsters and a tide of chaos that was flooding the earth.

——The seventh singularity: Absolute Monster Front Babylonia, Heaven's Lock.

——No, this is...the seventh singularity, Absolute Monster Front Mesopotamia!!!

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka could only be thankful that after the transformation of the Third Law was completed, because of the characteristics of the Third Law, she had an endless source of magic power to use, so that the teachers responsible for teaching her magic would no longer consider the limitations of her talent when arranging the courses. As long as it was recorded or the magic they knew themselves, they taught her all of it.

The magic that Lancermello used to block the tide of chaos and stabilize his body during his descent into the underworld was also taught to Fujimaru Ritsuka during that time. The essence of this magic is to compress the air, but in addition to a considerable amount of magic power, the magician also needs to have enough imagination to construct a stable air compression block for himself to stand on.

"Tiamat..." Fujimaru Ritsuka managed to stabilize himself in the air, and looked seriously at the Mother Goddess of Creation in the center of the Black Sea. "No, Gaetia didn't appear in the memories of the fourth singularity when I passed the fifth grid. Then why does Tiamat, who is also a Beast, appear now?"

"...Someone has left. No, at least someone from the Black Faction has left - not the Red Faction." The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka saw Tiamat, he confirmed that this was an illusion even more illusory than the Demon Pillars that appeared in his memories before. "More than one group of participants from the Red Faction had already left before I entered the chessboard, and there was not even an illusion of Gaetia in the fifth square."

"So now a Servant must have retired." Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed softly, and then his eyes became determined, "Now it's the eighth frame, but I haven't seen the coronation scene - then, I have to speed up and break through the memories of this journey of burning people!!!"

——Fortunately, this is her memory.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped maintaining the magic under his feet and fell all the way down - and in this short process of falling, the phantom of Tiamat had changed from the original head body to the state of the Mother Goddess of Creation, and was soon bound by Kingu's basket "name" that released the Heaven's Chain, and then the Goddess of Venus unfolded her treasure and knocked Tiamat into the underworld.

At the same time that Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into the underworld, Tiamat's state had changed into the state when she was given the concept of "death" by the Mountain Old Man and was thrown back into the underworld by King Gilgamesh. Fujimaru Ritsuka fell straight into the Anti-Genesis, the inherent barrier belonging to Tiamat, and then a sharp blade took shape in her hand.

——Don’t…love me anymore.

The moment he thrust the sharp blade into Tiamat's body, Fujimaru Ritsuka once again heard the wailing of the mother of all life.

"But, mother, even though we are no longer children - I still love you deeply."

This time, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave his own reply.

Then there was another fall.

Countless golden meteors appeared in the starry sky in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes. It was the meteor shower that occurred in the Grand Time Temple. In the instant Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, the scene in front of her turned into the Throne of Beasts, where the disguised Gaetia, who had abandoned the name of Solomon, was standing.

The next time she blinked, all she could see was Mashu's shield - the lush grass in front of the throne had already disappeared in Gaitia's attack, leaving only the shield and Mashu's heart that remained unshakable even in the face of death.

After that, Roman came here to reveal Solomon's real name and the wish Solomon made during the Holy Grail War several years ago. Before he could truly release his Noble Phantasm, Lancermello borrowed the power of the god of sleep to force Solomon into hypnosis and released his Noble Phantasm as a Grand Caster against Beast I.

Then there was no trace of the beast on the throne anymore, the temple collapsed; the fairies in Paradise cried and laughed, their bodies disintegrated like the knight who finally returned the holy sword at the sixth singularity, but they still entrusted the young savior with a task - and then the Half-Dream Demon finally appeared with the blessing of the gods and filled in the last missing piece of the puzzle.

——This is the end of the human reasoning.

But when Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her eyes again, what she saw was a building belonging to the Clock Tower's overall basic department, "Mistir".

——Ah, yes, just as Alice was crowned as the queen when she reached the end of the chessboard, after the end of the human burn, she was given the rank of an open magician by the Clock Tower.

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at everything in front of her, took a deep breath, and found the figure of the magician who was presiding over the ceremony to award her the Kaiwei rank from the crowd. She strode forward, ignoring the magicians' shouts and whispers, and reached out to snatch the Kaiwei medal from the magician's hand.

——She had worked with so many Servants. Napoleon, a famous hero in the coronation, was also one of her Servants. Among her Servants, there were also many famous kings. However, the deputy director of Chaldea learned from King Solomon, the court magician Merlin, and King Gilgamesh.

——She already had the bearing and demeanor of a king.

As Fujimaru Ritsuka made an attempt to snatch the Order of the First Rank, the illusion in front of her suddenly shattered, revealing a church filled with white chess pieces, just like in a fairy tale - the Order of the First Rank in her hand also turned into a crown representing the Queen.

"No one in the world can crown me, so I crown myself."
