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

He had no idea there would be so much work pressure before he came here, and now he suddenly wants to quit.

His muttering to himself made Hinako Akuta and Beryl behind him even more uneasy.

Hinako Akuta, who was following behind him, wiped away her cold sweat:

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and climb! If you want to live, get out of here quickly!"

Beryl, who was behind them, said at this moment, "Uncle, you must lead the way carefully from now on. Our lives are in your hands now."

"Hehe, I understand."

Seeing the overwhelming fear in the two people behind him, Rasputin had achieved his goal.

Having fully grasped the terrifying nature of the Chaldea figure, even the vampire progenitor and the half-human, half-vampire genius following behind should understand that they need to keep their tails between their legs and act cautiously.

In short, let's give these two guys a heads-up to prevent them from doing anything that would be a liability.

After all, Rasputin doesn't possess the convenient time-traveling ability and tenacious vitality of Koyanskaya, who can be resurrected in other worlds. If he were captured by the Chaldea, a place teeming with powerful individuals, he would truly be destined for a glorious death! He might even be tortured!

but--

Although that foolish woman alerted Chaldea, it was thanks to Koyanskaya that most of Chaldea's attention was diverted, allowing them to successfully climb through the ventilation ducts to the vicinity of the agreed-upon area. It seems that no one has come to check this area yet.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Rasputin led the two of them stealthily down from the ventilation shaft.

After landing again, he cautiously observed his surroundings and then said, "Things went relatively smoothly. We've successfully escaped the most dangerous area. Although we can't let our guard down, we're safe now, temporarily safe."

"...Just for now?"

Although Rasputin said that, the two people beside him felt no sense of security as long as their feet were still in Chaldea.

"When can we leave here?"

Just as Hinako Akuta was about to ask the question that concerned her most, Rasputin's expression changed slightly, and then he suddenly spoke up:

"Oh! Great news!"

"What's wrong?"

The two of them asked the question together.

"The Russian reinforcements that were promised have arrived, and the monk has also come to meet us."

Rasputin explained, "Our chance to escape may have arrived."

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, the two men's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and they began to ponder.

What's the situation like in their third group, Kirshtalia? We haven't heard anything for so long.

-

Meanwhile, in the surrounding area of ​​Chaldea.

Compared to the blocked northern and southern districts, Kirshtalia and her group were quite lucky. They managed to reach the eastern district, the weakest point in Chaldea's defenses, and were now just one step away from escaping.

After realizing that the south had alarmed Chaldea, he proposed to split up, sending Hinako Akuta and Beryl to meet up with Rasputin, while he, along with Debit and Pepe, would try to find an opportunity to break out.

The two Servants each led a group of the weaker members of their party in terms of overall strength and skill, and the three with the strongest overall abilities, to form a team to break through the encirclement.

This is the strategy Kirshtalia came up with.

The reason for doing so is quite simple.

Thanks to Chaldea's magical modifications, the land near the snow mountain has returned to the Age of Gods. With the help of some alien gods, Kirshtalia, who is located on the land of the Age of Gods, is able to unleash unimaginable power. The astrological magic he has learned is transformed into incredibly powerful celestial magic here.

By directly utilizing the power of a planet, the sky over a region, one can briefly reach a level of output comparable to that of a god.

Such a method can be said to have reached the limit of human magicians by doing it all by himself.

Aside from mages and the pinnacle of human magicians who have reached the Root, he is the strongest being.

Even his followers would find it difficult to match him.

Although Kirshtalia wasn't confident in defeating the Chaldean magician who had truly reached the realm of the gods, he believed that dealing with him shouldn't be a problem.

However, Kirshtalia knew that his body couldn't withstand several celestial magic spells of this scale. Each use involved putting one foot into the underworld, and he couldn't afford to die easily for the sake of his next plan. So, if he could, he really didn't want to risk his life to gain the other party's attention.

Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the exit, Peipei in the group smiled happily.

He chuckled and said to the two people beside him, "Although it seems that Koyanskaya, Kadoc, and Ophelia are probably doomed this time, they have also created an opportunity for us. Captain, you are a top student in astrophysics, so you should be qualified to use the access card, right?"

Seeing that the door in front of them was not only locked but also covered with super high-level magic, Pepe and Debit voluntarily gave up their positions.

Seeing this, Kirshtalia did not hesitate. He strode forward and placed his fingerprint on the identification platform, hoping to successfully exit by verifying his identity.

Chaldea is an industry of astrophysics.

As a student and top student of Marisbury, the monarch of astrophysics, he naturally possessed the highest level of authority, making simple access control a piece of cake...

"Huh? How could this happen?!"

—Buzzing!

Before he could finish speaking, a loud alarm blared down the corridor.

In an instant, not only him, but even Peipei was startled and immediately asked:

"What's going on now?!"

Seeing this, Kirshtalia's expression gradually turned ugly; he knew, of course, that his privileges had been revoked.

This not only failed to open the door, but also attracted the attention of Chaldea, and soon someone would be chasing after them.

Seeing this, he frowned, pondering what he should do now.

Can magic forcefully break through?

Can you make it?

Using celestial magic?

It's not worth it...

To risk one's life to break down a door is hardly a worthwhile trade.

"Look! Captain!"

Just as he was seriously considering a solution, Peipei, who was standing next to him, seemed to have seen something through some gaps in the iron gate and immediately let out a surprised sound.

"what happened?"

"Look! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements?"

"Yes, look!"

Pepe pointed to the massive army that had appeared out of nowhere on the snow-capped mountain and exclaimed, "That must be the reinforcements we were promised!"

Upon hearing this, Kirshtalia also turned her gaze toward the snow-capped mountains.

The snow-capped mountain, which had been pristine and white, was suddenly swallowed up by blackness. Within the mountain was a vast, dark army of tens of thousands of elite warriors, braving the blizzard and moving swiftly through the snow-covered mountain.

They are expected to reach the Chaldea gates and breach them in just over ten minutes.

And that was exactly what was agreed upon beforehand: the elite legion from the Russian Lostbelt, the terrifying weapon created by Ivan the Terrible, the lord of the Russian Lostbelt—the Killing Hunter!

Although their individual strength is not great, their advantage lies in their large numbers and superior equipment.

After all, the sheer number of people outside is enough to make one's scalp tingle. Even top-tier, exceptional Servants like the Slaughter Hunters could outlast their opponents with sheer numbers.

How could mere magicians from Chaldea possibly contend with such a winter army?

Although such soldiers are still not enough to fight against the gods, in order to protect these dragging beings, the gods will definitely be distracted and unable to attend to this place. At that time, they can naturally take the opportunity to break through.

Not only Pepe here, but also Beryl and Hinako Akuta on the other side, who were with Rasputin, were filled with hope and couldn't help but feel a lot of anticipation.

Only Kirshtalia and Debit remained silent. They were not happy about the arrival of reinforcements; instead, they began to think.

Is it really that simple?

While the remaining hidden members waited for Chaldea to be breached and for them to be successfully rescued...

Suddenly, a violent roar resounded outside Chaldea.

Then, one after another, incredibly tall artillery emplacements, hidden deep within the snow-capped mountains, slowly appeared under the watchful eyes of the Killer Hunters. They then simultaneously turned around, pointing their dozens of massive, dark cannon holes at the approaching Killer Hunters.

Meanwhile, the pyramid complex that had been floating in the sky slowly drifted toward the killing hunters.

In an instant, the smiles of the hopeful hiders froze:

"Huh? What's this again?"

Meanwhile, on the outer side of Chaldea, Ashiya Dōman, a strange monk who was also an apostle of an alien god and served as reinforcements, was also taken aback when he saw these things.

"Is this level of magic... real?"

Before they could fully react...

next moment.

The pharaoh, who had been sitting inside the pyramid waiting for a long time, stood up happily, scratching his temple.

After being idle for so long, he can finally unleash his full potential today.

So, without any hesitation, he raised his scepter and shouted:

"Sky! Fall! Behold my glory! You people without light!!"

"—The Great Composite Temple of Radiance (Ramesseum Tentyris)!!"

Accompanied by an incredibly exhilarating liberation incantation, the golden fortress that had been floating in the sky, or rather, the tomb of some pharaoh, plummeted straight down like a steamroller being carried by a vampire. The painful speed and the terrifying pressure brought by the descent directly shattered the dense black legion below into pieces.

And as it hurtled toward the killing hunters, Ashiya Doman below knew that their end was nigh!

There was no time to dodge, no time to escape; things happened far too quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous pyramid plummeted toward them like a missile. Its energy was unstoppable and indestructible; any attack launched would be neutralized by the protective barrier above. The terrifying area it enveloped transformed into a golden barrier, surrounding most of the killing hunters below.

So, their fate was naturally...

—Boom!!

Soon, a deafening roar erupted, and the pyramid floating in the sky crashed heavily into the center of the killing hunters. Most of the killing hunters were crushed into mincemeat by the kinetic energy of the falling pyramid without any ability to resist. Others were swept into the ground by the ensuing avalanche and disappeared without a trace.

Soon, the black army that had once covered the mountains and fields collapsed under this sudden attack!
