Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.

The execution of a dragon is utterly appalling. As the pinnacle of the fantasy species and the pinnacle of life on this planet, such a thing should be impossible.

However, Ayaka Sajou's description unexpectedly matched Lu Mingfei's situation. Richard had always believed that she had amnesia. Only in this case could such enormous power be created out of thin air, such as her manipulation of magic, her keen perception, and her familiarity with spells as if she had been born with them.

The fact that nails were driven into his skull also indicates brain damage. If he were to consider the possibility of amnesia, it would fit perfectly. A massive iceberg fits this description, and there are very few places on this planet with this kind of terrain; at least, he has never seen one.

"In short, we can only wait for Mingfei to remember it herself." Richard could only temporarily steer the topic aside. "At the very least, Mingfei was active before Christ."

The existence of a fantasy world where wings could shield mountains dates back to the ancient Age of Gods, a period with few historical records. Given the critical juncture of the Holy Grail War and the short timeframe involved, it was impossible to verify this fact.

"That's too long ago..." Ayaka Sajo shrank back.

"Yes...it's even older than the time of King Arthur."

The island of Britain is the last place where the mystery disappeared, and they believe that Lu Mingfei is a creature from an even more distant era. However, this is because they did not hear Ishtar's words yesterday. Otherwise, they would not be concerned about which era Lu Mingfei belongs to, but rather whether she is even from this world.

While they were still pondering this, the church doors were pushed open. It was Lu Mingfei who appeared. She looked different from yesterday; they didn't know what words to use to describe her… she seemed to have become more sacred, and her aura had become extraordinary.

It's like awakening in a card game; at a certain point, things suddenly become very different.

"Ayaka-nee is awake?" Lu Mingfei looked at Sajo Ayaka sitting on the ground.

"Hmm." Ayaka Sajou didn't know what expression to wear when facing the girl in front of her. Every time she saw that face, she would recall that distant icy mountain range.

"The police are here," Lu Mingfei said in a low voice. "They'll be here soon, almost there."

Just kidding, those three escaped from prison. They were a bit too excited last night and completely forgot about that. If they get questioned, it'll be troublesome. She felt that with her fighting ability, she could easily and effortlessly avoid "eating beef," but humans are social animals and can't live alone in the world. Besides, she didn't want to be wanted nationwide or anything like that; that would be extremely troublesome.

"You are Lu Mingfei, Saber, and Ayaka Sajou, right?"

Just as she was still processing what was happening in her head, a smartly dressed policewoman stood at the church door. "Could you please come with us?"

A very standard arrest statement—come with us.

"So, in a way, we were a few escapees who snuck out of the detention center," Richard shrugged, looking nonchalant. His short life had included periods of imprisonment. It took a hefty sum to bail him out in the end.

But the policewoman simply shook her head calmly, saying, "We have no intention of pursuing any charges. We are here only to propose forming an alliance."

"Again?" Lu Mingfei thought to herself. Aren't alliances a very rare thing? Why is it that alliances are sought everywhere?

"Oh, an ally? Who's the opponent? That golden Archer?"

He was still furious about this guy defeating him and vowed to get revenge.

"No... that golden-haired guy is probably dead by now." Lu Mingfei filled in the gaps in information for Richard, who was unaware of the details. "I saw it with my own eyes... it looked like the scene of the former literary figure's death, and then he was blasted open in the abdomen by a steel behemoth. He's probably completely dead."

"Former literature?" Even these well-informed individuals were shocked by Lu Mingfei's abrupt change in thinking and all turned their attention to her.

How did she connect such a violent scene to something as completely unrelated as "ex-boyfriend literature"? Is her brain not working properly?

"Ah...like an ex-girlfriend seeking revenge, that kind of feeling? Well, that woman is quite pretty, so it's not impossible."

"Ahem," the usually serious and aloof policewoman interrupted the off-topic conversation. "Right now, we're probably isolated by a world that's like a fixed barrier."

"I see, it's a bounded field." Lu Mingfei casually found a place to sit down; standing for so long was tiring, both mentally and physically.

"Hey, does Mingfei know about Reality Marbles?" She didn't follow up on the conversation, as if she was the only one who didn't know anything.

"Hmm. Isn't it just a technology similar to materializing what you think in your heart?" Lu Mingfei shrugged.

"Isn't it just?" Several police officers nearly fainted. That was one of the world's top magic tricks, a trick that was almost identical to magic. But in her mouth, it became a cheap-sounding description like "Isn't it just?"

Although they knew this girl was extraordinary, and might even be the most dangerous one in this Holy Grail War, they were still taken aback by the simple description of magic such as a Reality Marble.

"Gods...?" the policewoman murmured, then resumed her usual indifferent demeanor. "Our current goal is to find Masters and Servants who are also in this situation. The purpose, needless to say, is to find a way out."

"Well, the way out is usually through a barrier created by a magician or a monster. Judging from the current situation, it's either a magician or a Heroic Spirit. But it's a bit strange. Generally speaking, a Reality Marble can't be maintained for that long, so this is probably something similar to a Reality Marble."

"The question we're considering now is whether or not to kill the root cause." This proposal was put forward by a group of police officers led by Bella.

"It's best not to do that, and don't even think about it."

Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, her voice no longer childish and lively like when she was criticizing her ex-boyfriend's literature. Instead, it carried a serious, instructive tone, more like a speech from someone in a higher position than from an equal relationship within an alliance. Simply put, it was like giving an order. Her eyes held a molten gold gleam, and Richard felt that the color was much deeper than before.

The twenty-eight monsters certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lu Mingfei said. In the Holy Grail War, strength is king, and it's only natural that those without strength are in a lower position. If they were stronger than Lu Mingfei, they would definitely do the same and stop things they didn't want to do. But why? Is there something special about that magician or servant?
