Chapter 746: · Cruel Sealing Designation, Ancient Heart

The women: "Ah!!!"

Caules: "T-t-this..."

Shishigou Kairi: "This is the true Sealing Designation."

Caules: "But, wasn't Miss Touko who appeared before—"

Shishigou Kairi: "This is the difference between having strength and not having strength."

Tohsaka Rin: "Could it be that Sakura, she..."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Yes, Rin, now you know why I insisted on having her adopted out."

Tohsaka Sakura: "..."

Ishtar: "Hmph, humans are truly disgusting."

Hero King: "Heh, this is the gathering place of modern mages."

Zhang Jiao: "It's basically an evil organization."

First Emperor: "Hmph, such a place should not exist."

Kayneth: "..."

"This is—"

Emiya Kiritsugu clenched his fists tightly; he had already guessed whose brain was in the bottle in the video.

【"The original family magic of the Emiya family is a spell that accelerates time to the limit in a place not interfered with by the world, such as in the body or a Reality Marble. Although a Reality Marble is not something others can imitate, fortunately, the world's interference force on the Spirit Tomb Albion, which is isolated from the outside world, is originally very low. I think your spell can be fully utilized."】

【This bottle is the 'mage' that Hartless took out after paying the highest cost in ten years, who should have been in the Sealing Designation Execution Bureau.】

【He placed the stationary pocket watch nearby. That is a pocket watch linked to the spell, containing a precision clock with a perpetual calendar that measures time in units of hundreds of years, and is one of the indispensable items for this spell.】

【"You previously said to me 'You will kill me, right'."】

【Hartless looked at Hephaestion and said: "However, I don't know if it can be realized. At this point, I am defenseless, and you are also defenseless. In the end, will you feel this is a huge gamble?"】

【"That is to say."】

【The response was not a sound; Hephaestion's voice could no longer be transmitted, but Hartless could still read her meaning from Faker's moving lips.】

【"Next, it depends on whether it is in time."】

【Hartless stroked his chest and said: "Will your wish be realized? Will my wish be realized?"】

【The murmurs swayed in the room, and where the gaze reached, Faker was being swallowed by the pillar of light.】

【In that light connected to the magic circuit of the deceased dragon, the Macedonian female warrior who had experienced many harsh battlefields seemed to be sleeping gently.】

【"Good night, Faker."】

【"Good night, Hartless."】

【Then, the clock began to turn, timing until she became a god.】

"Gulp..."

Emiya Kiritsugu clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms, and drops of blood flowed out.

Irisviel hugged Emiya Kiritsugu with heartache, not knowing how to comfort him.

Waver: "Hartless has already begun to act, I'm afraid I won't make it in time."

Conqueror King: "My deified self, I really want to see what that looks like."

【The gaze returned to Waver and the others.】

【They had been falling in the Void Hole for a long time. Even if Albion has no real coordinates, the Great Magic Circuit is located in the deep layer tens of kilometers underground, but can the descent last so long?】

【In terms of physical sensation, it felt like the descent had lasted for several hours.】

【Moreover, there were many sudden bends in this Void Hole, and sometimes it would become very narrow, hindering their progress.】

【In this situation, is it still appropriate to call it falling?】

【Every time they encountered this situation, Gray had to use the gliding relic for precise control, and after a long time, it felt like a torture to her nerves.】

【"Don't waste your energy."】

【Waver gave the advice for the umpteenth time and said: "Don't think with your brain, let the situation and nerves become almost automated. The fastest way is to leave this part of the calculation to the magic circuits, but you are not that familiar with magic. Then don't be nervous, it is faster to leave it to Add and intuition to deal with."】

【Gray: "Leave it to Add?"】

【Add: "Hee-hee-hee! Because I don't have the function of feeling tired!"】

【However, this time only, she would honestly accept that sentence.】

【The fatigue accumulated from deep inside Albion to here was indeed eroding Gray's body. Although they didn't say it, Luvia, Qingxuan, and Furiuga should be the same.】

【Even if they could automatically control the gliding through magic circuits, this cold air was mercilessly taking away their stamina. Continuing to be exposed to the strange magical energy of Albion made the situation even more serious.】

【Of course, magic could protect body temperature, but everyone chose to keep the consumption of magical energy to a minimum.】

Waver: "I thought it would be fine just to fall, I didn't expect there would be so many troubles."

Shishigou Kairi: "Just like what the old man said, this road is a narrow escape."

【Waver: "Speaking of which, it is worth doubting whether time flows normally here."】

【Gray: "What do you mean, Master?"】

【Waver shook his head and said: "Nothing... I just feel that a piece of the puzzle that I haven't been able to fit together until now has been fitted in."】

【After descending for another while.】

【"The air has changed!"】

【Luvia threw out a few gems and said: "The gems told me that from here on, it is considered a new territory even in Albion. In other words, we are almost at the Ancient Heart!"】

【Waver suddenly spoke: "Damn it, did we still not make it?"】

【Furiuga: "What's wrong?"】

【"I just connected the path with Reines."】

【Waver said with an ugly face: "The Clock Tower has opened the levee of the Ancient Heart, and the worst development has begun."】

【Luvia: "What! It's still several hours before the scheduled time!"】

【Waver: "That's right, the Grand Resolution has started early."】

Waver: "It actually started early!"

Shishigou Kairi: "This really caught everyone off guard."

Caules: "Could it be that Hartless's accomplice has taken action again?"

Shishigou Kairi: "Who knows—"

【Time returned to a few minutes ago, on Reines's side.】

【She had crossed the rift from the mining city again and arrived at the venue of the Grand Resolution.】

【As soon as she landed, she felt her heart pounding.】

【It was not because of worry about the development of the meeting, but because of the strange 'pressure' contained in the air.】

【She only felt her skin tingling, and even her bones were creaking, feeling that as long as she relaxed, she would be crushed.】

【No matter what scientific detector is used, the essence of that 'pressure' cannot be analyzed.】

【For modern people, the magical energy of the Age of Gods—'True Ether'—is a toxin, and the magical energy here is similar to it.】

【This place is the core area of Albion—the Ancient Heart.】

Fiore: "So amazing! This place is completely the only remaining land of the Age of Gods in the modern era."

Gordes: "Unfortunately, modern mages cannot adapt to this place. Otherwise, if one could practice here..."】

Feng Xi: "What are you thinking? Even if you could really practice here, it wouldn't be your turn."

Gordes: "Hehe, that's right."
