In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Dr. Roman, who was playing video games in his room, rushed out in his Doraemon pajamas without even changing his clothes and hurriedly ran to the command room. Meanwhile, the fat director, who had been thinking about how to make a name for himself and achieve something great, was so frightened that his legs started to tremble.

Keep in mind he just took office...

Stop it, stop it.

If anything goes wrong, the Magicians Association won't even need to hold him accountable; he'll really jump off the Antarctic snow mountain today.

As soon as the two of them returned to their positions, all the departments immediately sprang into action.

Now all combat departments are in position, and personnel from all units have begun to move. The dolls, familiars, and magicians provided by the Clock Tower immediately formed security teams at the fastest speed, equipped with gear, and placed under full lockdown, searching for the cause of the alarm in every corridor.

The situation became even more interesting after the personnel responsible for underground security discovered that a hole had been opened in the cryo-chamber, all the magical restrictions had been destroyed, and everyone in the cryo-chamber had disappeared.

Chaldea has been upgraded directly from alert to the highest level of alert!

This made the night in Chaldea completely lively.

All the remaining Servants in Chaldea entered battle mode, spontaneously deploying themselves near the entrances and exits of various important locations in Chaldea according to the previously planned strategy.

Black Lancer Artoria and Artoria, as the two strongest, guarded the command room to prevent any sneak attacks and were ready to provide close support at any time.

Gilgamesh sat leisurely in front of the energy room, enjoying the Holy Grail. The golden portal behind him completely blocked the corridor. Anyone who dared to come here would be shown what a hedgehog felt like.

Nitocris and Da Vinci remained in the control room and workshop respectively to prevent the other side from infiltrating Chaldea's advanced technology.

Also on the outer side of the snow mountain, rows of Sphinxes were neatly arranged in battle stances. They were deployed around Chaldea, each displaying its sharp claws and teeth, which gleamed in the moonlight.

Perhaps one or two Sphinxes are nothing in the eyes of Servants.

However, when Ramses II summoned a large number of Fantasy Species from Egypt using the Holy Grail, and the army of nearly a thousand rushed forward together, even a first-class Servant like the Knights of the Round Table would feel terrified.

The most experienced Knights of the Round Table were stationed one by one near the gate, with a large number of puppet troops from the Clock Tower behind them. All the knights were on high alert, ready to show any enemy who dared to appear today what the blade of King Arthur was all about.

At this moment, Chaldea, both inside and out, is piled high with defenses. From ancient heroes to magicians' explosive fire magic, and now the dark muzzles of guns, everything is in place, just waiting for those foolish invaders to show themselves and be riddled with holes.

Meanwhile, in the pipes located on the other side of Chaldea.

Because there were too many people and it was difficult to get out, Hinako Akuta and Beryl, who were trapped here, were completely at a loss.

Their operation was going smoothly until an explosion occurred in the south, which threw their five-man team into a panic.

With magicians and Servants everywhere, and worried that acting together would make them too conspicuous, the five of them had to split up once again. That's how he and Hinako Akuta were forced all the way here.

The priest who was supposed to meet them near the North Gate happened to be there. Upon hearing the explosion and seeing the Chaldea gate closing in front of him, he rushed in without thinking and managed to reunite with them after some effort.

The problem is...

They've reunited, but they can't get out.

At this moment, the three of them could only cautiously hide in the Chaldea pipes, with rows of dolls and magicians walking by below, giving them a headache.

Thank God...

These puppets and magicians had no idea that there were people above them, and they were all heading south.

Otherwise, if they were discovered here, they would really be ganged up on and beaten up today.

"In the end, isn't it just this level?"

Beryl, standing behind him, didn't seem to think anything of the large number of puppets and magicians.

In his eyes, they were just toys and magicians; he had killed countless of them. Were they really that difficult to deal with?

"Roar roar roar roar—!!"

However, when he saw the Sphinxes entering Chaldea side by side, he silently sheathed his dagger and forgot what he had just said.

Hinako was somewhat bewildered to see so many Sphinxes that shouldn't be there:

"Aren't these the mythical creatures of Egypt? How come they're in the snow-capped mountains? And there are so many of them..."

She was still full of doubts about how the monsters from the desert could appear in Antarctica.

"These magical beasts are all raised in the pyramids outside. They are all high-quality fantasy species, and each adult has the strength to rival a Servant."

Rasputin shook his head and explained, "Although I knew that some powerful fantasy species were being raised in the snow-capped mountains surrounding Chaldea, I really didn't expect it to be this numerous and far more than that. Their movements are well-planned and clearly trained, and they are of a very high level of mystery. Ahhh... This is really a big problem. It seems that even Russian support is no match for them."

"Even if there are many wild animals, they are still wild animals. Can't we solve the problem by using artillery fire?"

Beryl still refused to believe it. "If there are only a few dozen, wouldn't it be easier to just focus fire and kill them all?"

"Hehe, if it's dozens, that's certainly possible."

Upon hearing this, Rasputin looked at him with pity, as he still seemed confused: "But according to my reconnaissance, there are at least a thousand of them outside Chaldea. If they launch a surprise attack together, what kind of weapon can stop them? And... you must understand, this is the realm of the gods. That one is still here. What we are seeing now is just a small skirmish. Once that one makes a move, nothing else matters."

"Who is that? Are we going to be facing a chief god from some mythological lineage?"

The situation had become so critical that Hinako Akuta finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Rasputin in disbelief.

"Hmm, more or less. According to the situation in your hometown, they should be the kind of immortals who have attained enlightenment."

Hinako Akuta: "Are you serious?"

Before she could ask any further questions, Rasputin gave her a very ominous answer.

"Although the pantheon is not confirmed, the miracles that the other party walks and causes are already at the level of a main god. Coincidentally, not long ago, the other party was in a bad mood and offended the Clock Tower, almost making the Clock Tower a thing of the past, destroying most of the Clock Tower. And those magic puppets below were sent over by the Clock Tower."

"You mean... the clock tower was blown up? And instead of seeking revenge, they're demanding compensation?!"

At this point, Beryl completely lost his composure.

To this, Rasputin reiterated his affirmative response:

"It's good that you know. That's the situation. You just need to know that one of your enemies has reached the realm of gods. After all, you've only just recovered from hibernation, so it's understandable that you're frightened."

"Honestly, the reason I explained so much to you is to prevent you two from suddenly yelling or being too scared to move during the stealth, which would delay your escape. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Hinako and Beryl exchanged a glance, then nodded with grim expressions, daring not to have any further thoughts or words, and began to slow their pace considerably as they continued forward.

At this moment, it wasn't just these entities; Rasputin also sensed a new presence emerging within Chaldea.

Furthermore, this force does not belong to servants or magicians, but rather to something akin to demons.

It's a Demon Pillar?!

He immediately had the answer.

Moreover, this aura was emanating from the south.

So he was naturally very clear about it.

So, it really is Koyanskaya's side that's in trouble?

Unexpectedly, the group that first ran into trouble was not the one without Servant support, but Koyanskaya's side.

What a foolish woman!

The commotion they caused has prevented them from getting out of the area.

He sensed that near all the exits on the north side, Sun Knight Gawain was leading a large group of men, waiting to ambush him. If he dared to go over, he would be captured all at once.

Although I was furious, there was nothing else I could do.

After all, they've sent out enemies like the Demon Pillar, clearly indicating their intention to wipe them out completely.

Therefore, given the current crisis, he must find another way to escape.

As for Koyanskaya, he believed that the cunning woman would be fine.

Just as he was thinking this...

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!

Once again, a series of explosions rang out in the southern region. Similarly, two pillars of different colors pierced through the roof of Chaldea, and pairs of eyeballs began to emit scorching light, along with an angry roar.

Barbatos: "Incineration!!"

Rafe: "You all get out here!!"

These two terrifying voices made Rasputin's heart pound wildly.

He retracted his earlier statement; judging from this level of reaction, Koyanskaya was practically dead!

Beryl, who was behind him, was completely dumbfounded.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying...

Demon Pillars, Servants, Mythical Species, and one that has become a god.

What kind of hellish place have they ended up in?!

Should I make enemies of these guys?

Will you really win?

—It's completely sealed!

Chapter 340 The Slaughter of the Killing Hunters

boom!

Boom!!

Rumble—!!

As Rasputin listened to the commotion and explosions that sounded like something out of a monster movie coming from the southern end of Chaldea, an ominous premonition loomed over him.

After silently mourning for his two unfortunate colleagues, Goyanskaya and Kadoc, Ophelia, for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Rasputin led Hinako Akuta and Beryl to continue exploring in a safer direction.

Because of the continuous throngs of footsteps below, a mix of fantasy creatures, puppets, magicians, and Servants, every step they took was filled with trepidation. Fortunately, the ventilation ducts along this path were well-hidden, and Rasputin had brought concealment items, so he was not immediately discovered. However, for him, this path was extremely long.

Especially when they know very well that if they make just one mistake, they're completely finished.

During this long and arduous journey, Rasputin began to complain in despair: "I know you are all very nervous and under a lot of pressure right now, but you have no idea what kind of pressure I faced when I took on the planning of this operation."

"As you can see, this is just a simple observation post. If it were a year ago, once the heroic spirits had mostly left, we could have brought our reinforcements and stormed in, easily rescued you, and slaughtered the entire area, leaving no one alive."

As he explained, he also lamented the current situation:

"But as you can see now, Chaldea has been transformed into an invincible fortress with the highest level of mystery on Earth. The long-lost fantasy species and beings from the Age of Gods are everywhere, and the reserves of magicians and puppets are the largest in the world. This also means that once they discover us, we will be the ones slaughtered."

"And did you know that when that main god recently nuclearly destroyed the clock tower, he didn't use his own abilities or grand magic, but rather the Hero King's Ea. At the time, I was planning how to save you, whether or not to infiltrate the Legal Affairs Department together, but when I saw him just turn it lightly, without even using a release spell, and then 'bang!' half of the clock tower was gone, I silently tore up Plan A."

"And this is just the application of power from other pantheons. I can't even imagine what he could achieve if he used his own power. Oh, right, according to my investigation, he fought one-on-one with the culprit behind the Burning of Humanity, and single-handedly defeated an existence on par with the Big Boss. You heard me right, single-handedly, he defeated Goetia, who could destroy a planet with a single blow, and he didn't even kill him, but subdued him. I didn't believe it at first, but seeing that the Demon King's Demon Pillar is really in Chaldea, I'm sure it's true. To be honest, I'm starting to regret accepting the job the Big Boss gave me!"

Rasputin sighed.
