"No! Just as expected, the spatial spell is working, but this ley line pivot point can't teleport anything. I guess it'll be the same even if we take this place!"

"It's Odin! Odin must be interfering!"

"Wait a minute, there's a magical technique probing us from the outside!"

Ishtar's face should have lit up with joy, but she suddenly froze.

This feeling... is like a connection to my own Little Grail?

Volume 1: Chapter 25 You can't outrun me, believe it or not!

Ishtar was still thinking to herself:

Who on earth is this person who can withstand Odin's interference and forcefully probe over here!

The result was not what I expected at all.

The technology on the other side is completely lacking; it's all thanks to the privileges of the Greater Grail.

"Come to think of it, I feel like I've had this feeling before."

Ishtar recalled the night they had taken the initiative to attack Odin and rescue Francesca.

At that moment, she also suddenly sensed the movement of the Lesser Grail and was almost hit by the enemy because she was distracted.

Could it be that... back then, it was also these people trying to explore this area?

What's even stranger this time is that it was just an ordinary detection spell, but they actually limited the scale of the spell to a very small size.

It's like... when you could make the outlet into a dam gate with a huge flow, you insist on reducing it to a small water pipe that slowly releases water.

What does this mean, and is it necessary?

Could it be that you're worried about some kind of unstable wavelength during the procedure, an error with a probability as small as 0.0001%?

Shen Jin, she's in the middle of a fierce battle with the enemy, how did she have to run into such a cautious contact person from the outside world at this crucial moment?

The goddess is clearly completely incapable of showing compassion.

The main issue is that she doesn't know the extent of the psychological trauma that Fadius and others experienced in dealing with the aftermath of the Holy Grail War after the "citywide movie screening" incident.

These days, people would rather cut efficiency than make any mistakes!

"Stop standing there! Let's move! Let's change positions!"

Ereshkigal dragged Ishtar away from the makeshift foothold and fled at top speed. The next second, a tidal wave of enemy figures rushed in, one after another, and completely swallowed up the empty position!

"Wait a minute, what's going on...?"

Ishtar was completely unaware of what was going on.

Why are you giving up on the turrets so soon?

"Sigh, what else could it be? There are just too many people to be cast on, and Francesca can't afford to use up all her magic power."

Lu Ming single-handedly held off Odin, leaving only Francesca as an effective spellcaster outside. Even with high efficiency, Francesca couldn't withstand the enemy's overwhelming numbers!

This only shows that it was inevitable that something would slip through.

At this moment, Ai Lei thought of the strategic points that Lu Ming always talked about and emphasized in meetings, such as "assassination," "guerrilla warfare," and "offense is the best defense."

Instantly, my perspective broadened and my thinking became clear.

Ai Lei immediately decided to carry out the "hit and run" mentality to the end!

Therefore, from the very beginning, she never intended to hold her ground and wait for reinforcements! Instead, she preferred an offensive style that involved light-footed attacks!

Since we're not going to hold our ground, let's just find a few temporary ley lines, set up our positions, and remove the materials and equipment before we leave.

In this way, Odin's army ended up tying its own hands—

After all, as long as Ereshkigal and the others maintain mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, they can keep up the initiative in the battle by proceeding step by step despite being outnumbered.

Odin's army, however, has many more things to consider.

Those ley line points were areas they needed to control. They wouldn't deliberately destroy their own points just to prevent Ereshkigal and the others from setting up positions.

This kind of behavior, which affects the flow of the earth's veins, is essentially digging its own grave.

Hum hum!

You wicked Odin's army, though you outnumber me, you can't outrun me, believe it or not!

In a way, he also grasped the essence of Lu Ming's ideas.

"what?"

After Ishtar listened and fully understood, her brain almost short-circuited and crashed.

No, you actually listened to the whole bunch of crazy ideas Lu Ming spouted at the mobilization meeting?

They really extracted the key points and executed them perfectly, even managing to easily scurry the enemy around like flying a kite.

Could it be that becoming a psychopath like Lu Ming is the right thing to do? And that my own "sane awareness" is wrong?

Am I going to become a lunatic too?

No, no, no! I absolutely refuse to accept this!

Ishtar hardened her heart and gritted her teeth, deciding to continue trying. Using the Lesser Grail to contact the other side of the outside world might be her only hope of escaping this abnormal team of gods in this life.

The path to salvation lies within! Persevere, perseverance is victory!

When the next ley line fulcrum is reached, the intensity will be doubled and increased dramatically!

……

Outside, in the woods on the outskirts of Xueyuan City.

"You mean, the spatial magic interference from that 'other world' is constantly intensifying?"

Fadius listened to the summary of Adela's situation, frowned, and began a logical analysis:

"Based on the known information, firstly, the environment of this 'other world' is similar to that of the real-world Snowfield City; secondly, there is at least the existence of the great god Odin and unidentified individuals who are his enemies."

Adela said, "Yes, we captured some keyframes from the 'Odin' incident last time, and after comparison, we can see—"

“Those architectural features are consistent with the scenery of Xueyuan City over the past few decades, like a mirror reflecting the real world.”

"But it seems to be sparsely populated and ecologically poor. As for the figure who fought Odin, we have not found any information about him in reality."

Fadius nodded. "There's one last thing: what exactly is this spatial spell interference we're facing?"

Adela speculated, "Perhaps the Lesser Grail is responding to us...?"

"That's almost impossible!"

Fadius knew that Felia Einzbern had been forcibly brought here by Francesca.

According to records, this woman had the will to escape the constraints of the "family mission" and once attempted to run away. She was then captured by a designated executor entrusted by the family and was "recovered".

In other words, Philia was unwilling to be their little Grail container tool, let alone cooperate with such magical communication.

Besides, such a complex technique that spans across space requires expertise in ley lines, extensive knowledge of magic, and years of practical experience. How could Felia, who has lived in Einzbern Castle for so long, possibly understand it?

"I think it's most likely Odin or someone else interfering! This kind of conflict involving the main gods is definitely not simple. Edra, continue adjusting the spell!"

Fadius said in a deep voice, "It would be best to immediately restrict visualization and other functions, retaining only the most basic magic wavelength frequency detection, and make sure to minimize the risk!"

When Adra's assistant heard her boss order another emergency adjustment to the spell, she nearly fainted. "Yes, Mr. Dioran!"

Meanwhile, Ishtar, who was waiting anxiously, suddenly felt that the communication signal from the outside world was getting weaker and weaker, and there was almost only a last trace of basic connection left.

She slowly typed a question mark in her mind.

"?"

Do you have some kind of overly cautious tendency? Just how afraid are you of something going wrong?

And now it's turned out like this! Doesn't she know it's so hard for her to even send a message from afar now?!

All I wanted to do was try my best to leave the team!

Why is it so difficult for her?

"Hey! Did you fail again? What happened... Never mind, it's time to move!"

As usual, Ereshkigal came to inform Ishtar that they were fleeing the battlefield and had to move to a different location.

His blunt words were like a wake-up call.

It awakened Ishtar's slumbering soul, pulling her from a hazy dream and bringing her back to the cruel reality—

He was destined to remain in a team that included both mortal enemies and top-tier geniuses, unable to extricate himself.

"hateful!"

Ishtar was powerless to refute, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, or a stray dog ​​that had fallen into a quagmire and was struggling in a sorry state, as she was ruthlessly dragged away by Ereshkigal.

She sensed the continuous fluctuations of the Lesser Grail within her body, feeling both resentful and physically uncomfortable.

Again.

The uncomfortable feeling is back.

Just like the night he saved Francesca, when Lu Ming and Odin were arguing, the small Holy Grail inside his body began to emit abnormal fluctuations again.

Ishtar was completely baffled.

The anomaly of the Lesser Grail.

The great battle between Lu Ming and Odin.

And then there are those half-baked, incompetent magicians outside who, despite having access to the Greater Grail system, are using some inexplicable detection techniques.

Could there be some strange and mysterious chain reaction between these three?

……

Boom!

The thunderous roar of the riotous gods resounded across the sky.

Lu Ming held a knife in one hand and gripped his self-made replica spear in the other, locked in a fierce battle with Odin. Their limbs and weapons clashed and collided constantly, leaving afterimages with each swing. The battle was intense and fierce.

There was no other moving figure around them.

Anyone who gets even a little close will most likely be hit by the lightning AOE that sweeps across the area from time to time, instantly turning them into ashes without leaving a trace.

Whoosh!

Lu Ming tilted his head slightly, narrowly avoiding another terrifying thunderbolt from Odin that swept across thousands of troops. At the same time, he thrust out his spear without hesitation, but with a clang, it was blocked by the opponent's spear as well.

But Lu Ming seemed to have anticipated this. He had already thoroughly understood Odin's every movement, habit, and move.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his other hand and swung his sword, the immense force creating a violent shockwave, slashing fiercely at the leg of the horse Odin was riding!

Shoot the horse before the rider! This move is designed to cripple Odin's mobility in maneuvering and fighting!

clang!

Odin clearly wouldn't allow his warhorse to suffer a serious injury.

However, because Lu Ming skillfully parried Odin's weapon, Odin, who had no time to change his move, had to quickly extend his arm and use the armor covering his arm to barely block the sword, personally using his arm armor to protect his beloved warhorse.

Sparks flew as the blade struck.

He saved his own horse!

Lu Ming noticed that Odin's arm armor had been slashed with deep cracks.

This is the result of Lu Ming's repeated setbacks and suppression of Odin's armor during their recent clashes.

During the continuous mental simulation training before the battle, Lu Ming gained a deep understanding of how to attack where the enemy must defend, and he also clearly understood the weak points and vulnerabilities of the armor and arm guards.

Through repeated practice, they discovered a trick to make Odin easily expose his weaknesses.

With the added support of Ereshkigal, along with his own bloodlust and other amplification abilities, achieving armor penetration is a breeze.

It's fortunate that the opponent was a bot, which wasn't very flexible in changing tactics.
