Chapter 531

【Second: "No, Gray."】

【The Second stopped Gray, who wanted to rush out, while eliminating the approaching skeleton soldiers.】

【He reminded Gray not to forget their original purpose.】

【Gray thought of the content the Second had explained before, nodded, and said loudly to the King of Bones.】

【"Please listen to me! Even if you might not understand this, I have already seen the outside world; I have personally experienced life in the outside world for several months."】

【"I, I have always felt that I couldn't adapt to that kind of life, even if I could enjoy the fun of stories, but I must not get along with the things in the stories. I feel that people who approach me will only feel disgusted, but I had a very happy time."】

【"What are you talking about?"】

【The King of Bones was somewhat confused; she really didn't understand Gray's meaning.】

【Gray: "Tomorrow morning, the villagers will find a corpse with the same face as me."】

【King of Bones: "A corpse?"】

【Gray: "This is true; I don't know if it will happen this time, but it was like this before."】

【"What did you say!!!"】

【The King of Bones froze for a moment, because she already understood Gray's meaning.】

【"No, since you said you have already experienced months of life in the outside world..."】

【She pressed one hand against her mask and roared like a beast: "Zepia!!!"】

【She actually knew that alchemist from Atlas.】

【Perhaps because the master was lost in thought, the surrounding skeleton soldiers also temporarily stopped their actions.】

Rin Tohsaka: "So this is the Second's plan, to lay the cards on the table directly."

Kairi Sisigou: "Indeed, at this time, only laying the cards on the table can make the opponent wake up, but it is also a risky move."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "If one thing goes wrong, it will be counterproductive."

Kayneth: "But to think she actually knows Zepia, and looking at it, she seems to have understood what the situation is now."

【"Then, this is... no, now is..."】

【The King of Bones growled in a voice of despair and hatred: "Are these current things all 'reproductions'!"】

【At this moment, everyone around held their breath.】

【Everyone did not perceive the meaning in the King of Bones' words, but were influenced by the anger erupting from her whole body.】

【The emotions she expressed were too intense, and even Bersac and Ilumia, who were engaged in a fierce battle, had to stop.】

【King of Bones: "Ah, is that so? Is that how it is? It's too ridiculous, too ugly; you and I are not even clowns, aren't we just a pathetic sketch? No matter how many times the play is performed according to the same plot, what meaning can it have for such a reality!"】

【Gray: "You..."】

【"Then, this farce has no meaning."】

【The King of Bones raised the Black Holy Spear, and astonishing magical power swirled out.】

【"Holy Spear, Anchor Released!!!"】

【Only two words, yet they brought strong fear to everyone.】

【The Second said that this was a dangerous gamble, and the result was exactly that.】

【Video paused.】

【Question: Who is the person who resolves the crisis?】

Rin Tohsaka: "Has the Q&A finally started?"

Waver: "Resolving the crisis, does that mean the King of Bones is going to release the Holy Spear?"

Kayneth: "Releasing the Holy Spear is no different from releasing a Noble Phantasm; once the release is completed, everyone in the entire cave will likely be unable to escape disaster."

Kairi Sisigou: "It really went out of control."

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Resolving the crisis, this contains many meanings; running away, blocking, or interrupting the opponent from releasing the Holy Spear can all be considered resolving the crisis."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Logically speaking, the most likely person to resolve the crisis is the Servant Kay, but he is already seriously injured now, and his Spirit Origin is not complete."

Waver: "Could it be Gray? She successfully releases her own Holy Spear and blocks the King of Bones' Holy Spear."

Waver: "Hmm, this possibility is relatively high. My answer is Gray!"

【Ding! Waver answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Waver: "Ah! Is it not?"

Rin Tohsaka: "So that means it's Kay. After all, he is a Heroic Spirit; he should still have some trump cards."

【Ding! Rin Tohsaka answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Sigh! It's not him either!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Then the remaining people on the scene are the Second, Bersac, Ilumia, and that priest named Fernand... wait a minute, Fernand!"

Didn't Fernand hear some sound in the wall before?

At this time, it is often inconspicuous people like Fernand who can play a big role.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It was Fernand who resolved the crisis!"

【Ding! Tokiomi Tohsaka answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Hmm! Did I think wrong?"

Waver: "Mentioning Fernand reminds me of the sound he heard before, but it wasn't him either..."

Kayneth: "Are only the Gravedigger and the nun left? Which one of them will it be?"

Extra Feng Xi: "I say, did you forget about other people?"

Extra Feng Xi: "It was Flat and Svin who resolved the crisis."

【Ding! Congratulations to Extra Feng Xi for answering this question correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.】

Everyone: "!!!"

Waver: "My mistake, my mistake. We subconsciously thought the answer was someone on the scene, but forgot there were people who were not on the scene but were also paying attention to the situation."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "And there was no limit to the number of people in the answer. We subconsciously thought it was one person turning the tide; inherent thinking is harmful."

Kayneth: "Waver, these two disciples of yours are really quite good."

Waver: "Teacher, please don't say such strange things."

Rin Tohsaka: "However, they are in the outside world; how exactly did they do it?"

Kairi Sisigou: "Don't waste those brain cells; just look at the answer."

【Answering time ended, video continues.】

【"No!!!"】

【Gray knew that no one on the scene could block the power of the Holy Spear, only something that could contend with it, so she immediately called out to Add.】

【"Add, Add!"】

【Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen again, and the sleeping box did not respond.】

【The Second smiled bitterly: "Did it really backfire..."】

【King of Bones: "Take this, Tooth of Thirteen!"】

【The pitch-black magical vortex turned into a storm and swept through the underground, then slowly reversed the magical power, converging to the inside of the spear.】

【Preparation complete, the Holy Spear's anchor is released, and no matter what means are used, it is too late.】

【"Shining at the End..."】

【"Snap!"】

【Just at the moment when the magical power was about to be released, everyone heard a faint crisp sound.】

【The sound came from the dirt wall at the very edge.】

【Fernand was standing there blankly, and a crack had already appeared on the wall in front of him.】

【Immediately, accompanied by a strange low roar, a water flow like a raging tide suddenly gushed out from there.】

【Second: "It's a flash flood!!!"】

【Kay: "Hahaha, because the swamp is right next to it! The magical power at the time of manifesting the spear has already loosened the soil and rocks; was the fluctuation just now the last straw!"】

【Strange noises began to appear one after another, and the cracks were not just in that one place.】

【A chain reaction occurred, and the flash flood surged into the underground cavity from multiple locations at once, instantly swallowing everything in the cave.】

【And Gray, who was caught in the flood, was grabbed by Kay in time.】

【"Grab me! Setting aside swordsmanship, I have quite a bit of confidence in this aspect! Ah, speaking of the ability to escape, I am confident that I am the first of the Round Table, especially when slipping away by the water! Hey, that pale magician over there, come over here quickly!"】
