The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

boom--!

boom--!

Countless shells smashed towards the location of the wall of light like meteors of fire from the sky, with the momentum to completely penetrate the opponent.

boom--!

boom--!

Waves of violent magical collisions caused the space to tremble, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ian felt that the magic power in his body was being rapidly consumed - it was indeed a little difficult to maintain such a bombardment.

but……

As long as the goal can be achieved, there is nothing to worry about!

However, the situation is not as simple as imagined.

Although Athena has already opened fire at full power, it can even be said that she has used a huge part of her strength.

But even though the wall of light before them had a considerable number of collapses, it would repair itself in an instant, as if proving that Athena's attack was completely ineffective.

"..."

The Goddess of War stopped, knowing that if she continued like this, she would only waste her wingman's magic power in vain.

"There's actually... a barrier that I can't break through?"

Athena rarely doubted herself.

Ian also didn't expect this to happen - you know, he could even tear the Pharaoh's ship apart with his bare hands.

Could it be... Is this the Wall of Sighs that is absolutely insurmountable?

but.

Hope always seems to appear alongside despair.

As a noisy sound rang in my ears.

A certain contact came in.

That was Gray's voice—

"Mr. Ian...are you bombing that wall?"

"Here I am—"

The girl said this, looking at the huge gun next to her.

"There should be 'tools' that can be used."

810. The Shadow of the British Princess? / Alchemical Research in the Desert (4k)

"..."

"Tools that can be used?"

Hearing Gray say this, Ian immediately realized that the situation might not be as simple as he thought.

"Gray—"

"Are you in a place where you can see this wall?"

"Um……"

The girl's voice sounded a little hesitant, which Ian quickly noticed.

"Gray, did something terrible happen?"

"Nothing, Mr. Ian." Gray quickly denied the man's statement. "So—how should I find you? This weapon should be able to play a significant role, right?"

"This……"

Looking at the wall of light in front of him that was being bombarded by Athena but still had no possibility of breaking through, Ian's expression seemed a little complicated.

But after a moment, he no longer hesitated.

yes……

If this approach doesn't work, why not try other methods?

"Gray, contact Chaldea immediately—"

"I'm going to find you!"

"Okay, I see."

Chaldea wasn't helpless in the face of the restoration team's dispersal—the director and the others simply couldn't determine Gray and Fujimaru Ritsuka's locations.

Once we can get in touch like we are now, Gray's location can be quickly determined.

However, to be on the safe side, Ian did not drive Athena towards his destination.

On the contrary, he chose to leave the goddess mecha where it was.

At the same time, the man had no intention of taking anyone away.

In this way, even if the Rhongomyniad once again erupts with a powerful energy wave, Jeanne and the others who are still in place will not be harmed.

After explaining their intentions, the girls did not stop Ian's behavior - after all, this was the only effective way at the moment.

They have always believed in this man, it was like this in the past and it is still like this now.

Without further ado, Ian decided to set off immediately.

However, at the moment before leaving, Mary suddenly asked the man a question that seemed a little confusing.

"Can you come back this time?"

"..."

Ian was very confused - how could he turn out to be such a life-and-death situation when he just went to pick Grey up?

However, knowing that Mary probably just wanted an answer, the man didn't think much about it and nodded.

"Isn't that natural?"

"I will come back, and I will definitely come back."

"Really?" Meili's eyes rarely showed any emotion. "I understand. Then, go early and come back early."

Ever since——

Ian embarked on a journey alone.

of course.

Although we are alone, it doesn’t mean that there is no communication at all.

At least as far as Chaldea is concerned, Ian can still chat with BB for a while.

"You mean..."

"Did Nero make his bathtub a little bigger?"

"Yeah!" BB's tone was quite helpless. "BB can't control this girl—you piggy should know that she doesn't listen to anyone except you."

"Really? BB is so worried."

Listening to the voice of this little wife, Ian felt that BB rarely showed her cute side.

"Do not worry--"

"I'll get it done as soon as possible, BB. Thank you for your hard work."

"..."

The Super AI Girl was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"Actually, there's no need to be so anxious—pig, your own safety is the most important thing."

"After all, you're such an idiot...if you get impatient, you won't care about anything. BB can't let you do that!"

"Are you concerned about me?"

"What else? BB also has the attributes of a good wife and mother, right?"

"Oh, I never thought of that."

After briefly joking with BB, Ian returned to his journey.

He knew that every moment that followed was precious—after all, no one knew when the Rhongomyniad would burst forth with even greater power.

This was a much more difficult journey than I had imagined.

After all, in a sense, it is equivalent to asking Ian to cross the desert in his current state.

The sun rises.

Japan and China.

Sunset.

As dusk fell, Ian still hadn't reached his destination.

Although he felt a little tired, the man knew that now was not the time for him to rest.

but--

When he was about to walk into the desert again, he saw a figure.

It was a figure that looked familiar to the man, but he couldn't tell who it was for a moment.

After all, the other person's whole body was covered tightly, and even his eyes were almost invisible.

If this were an everyday outfit, it would probably seem a bit weird.

but……

At this singularity, all this doesn't seem to be something worth worrying about. During this trip, there were many people dressed like this.

Ian decided to pretend that he saw nothing and then prepared to just walk past the figure.

only……

Before the man could do this, the other party spoke first.

"you--"

"Are you going to Atlas Court?"

The voice is also familiar.

It's a female voice.

Ian felt that he had definitely heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember who it was.

but--

One thing is certain.

That means the other party knows the existence of "Atlas Court".

Then... maybe I can ask for help.

"Yes." Ian nodded. "I am indeed going to Atlas Courtyard - but how did you know?"

"..."

"Because the Atlas Courtyard is just behind this desert, anyone who wants to get there must pass through here."

"I see."

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

This wasn't something strange - although Ian felt the other person looked familiar, the other person definitely felt the man was a stranger. It was perfectly normal for them to fall into silence after exchanging information.

Although it is normal, the man also knows that this is not the result he expected.
