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

Upon hearing this, Koyanskaya and Rasputin immediately remembered that they seemed to have another colleague.

Rasputin took out a contact slip that the other party had given him and slowly unfolded it, wanting to make a call.

However, the moment the talisman was opened, he only heard the roar of cannon fire coming from it.

as well as--

"Aaaaaah! Get away! Get away now! And you monsters, get away from this monk!"

"—Aa ...

Before he could even ask a question, the next moment, all that could be heard on the other end of the communication was a strange scream.

"..."

After a long silence, Rasputin quietly closed the talisman in his hand and silently mourned for his colleague.

At the same time, he probably knew that his remaining colleague would miss the last train.

Chapter 344 The Wrath of the Gods

The exterior of Chaldea's buildings.

Finally, after paying a heavy price and losing three members, the stealthy squad led by Kirshtalia successfully escaped to the actual evacuation point.

Now, of the three Hidden One squads, an average of one member has fallen from each group: Beryl is dead, Kadoc is captured, and Debit has surrendered. The original seven Hidden Ones are now down to four.

Unexpectedly, that's not all. Of the three alien god apostles sent by the alien god, only Koyanskaya and Rasputin are present at this moment.

The casualties caused by this escape were undoubtedly a severe loss for the already small Hidden Ones squad. However, after confirming that Ashiya Doman probably wouldn't make the last train, Rasputin was powerless to do anything about it.

"Ugh……"

He glanced at the distant, raging battlefield, the night sky almost turning day into night by the flames of explosions. He simply didn't have the courage to go and save people, and could only sigh softly. Meanwhile, Koyanskaya, whose two tails had been severed, was almost dead. Gone was her former frivolity; she now only wanted to leave this hellish place as soon as possible and never come back.

However, although the battle outside was still extremely fierce, fortunately, this was a warehouse on the outskirts of Chaldea, a place that no one often came to. It was backed by a cliff with an endless ice field below, so the battlefield did not affect this place, and their current situation was barely safe.

But they probably won't be safe for long, because that one will soon discover that they've escaped.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as they expected.

At this very moment, in Chaldea, right in front of that dog hole that had been dug out at some unknown time.

"Drilling a tunnel out? That's a bit unexpected..."

Luo Wei stroked his chin, examining the hole, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This time, he was truly amused and exasperated by the way the Hidden Ones escaped.

They are not only celestial magic of divine scale, fox tail-cutting survival skills, gem-level magic eyes, werewolf bloodlines, and even Kadoc who sacrifices himself for the greater good, these people are truly capable. They have also demonstrated individuality and teamwork to the fullest extent. If even one of them is missing, they will not be able to get out.

The reason he wasn't in a hurry to eliminate those guys in Group A all at once was because he had absolute confidence in his barrier and Chaldea's setup. He knew they were absolutely unable to break through the Chaldea walls, so he wanted to trap them inside and provoke the alien gods to take action so he could proceed with the next step of his plan.

He just hadn't expected that these people would be so capable.

After stopping them from destroying the wall, sealing off the exit, and interrupting the space magic, they still managed to escape right under his nose by digging a hole. They were incredibly resourceful, and I really overthought things, thinking they were too brave.

He was prepared for those guys to realize they couldn't escape and fight him to the death. He was even ready to test each of them's most secret methods.

So, aside from celestial magic, we didn't see any of Hinako's vampire progenitor, Ophelia's gem-level Mystic Eyes, or Peperoncino's supernatural powers. Did she just run away?

That really shows a lack of a sense of challenge.

However, that is correct.

After all, this is an escape game, and the theme is their safe evacuation, not defeating you. Escaping is the right thing to do. However, if that's the case, then it would be a huge failure for you, as the final boss, to let them get out. So things are far from over.

"Your Majesty, please allow us to pursue them!"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to atone for my sins!"

Just as Rowe was pondering, behind him, Raef and Barbatos, realizing they had lost Koyanskaya and could only return with Kadoc to report back, were kneeling not far from Rowe, both volunteering to go out and continue the pursuit to make amends for their mistake.

In response, Luo Wei simply raised his hand, indicating that they didn't need it and that the rest was his business.

As for the Kadoc brought back...

Rowe looked down at the white-haired, tired-looking young man with dark circles under his eyes. He didn't say anything or make things difficult for him. Instead, he tied him up and threw him into a room with Debit. The dead Beryl was also nearby.

Kadoc was also startled when he saw Beryl's gruesome death.

He couldn't help but think to himself:

Is this the price of being a traitor?

Although I had expected it, I was still a little scared.

After casually dismissing Rafe and Barbatos, Lovi, having given up his playful mood, lost interest in continuing. He turned his back, took a step forward, and his body disappeared into Chaldea in the next instant, to play one last chase with the Hidden Ones.

-

Meanwhile, Koyanskaya and her group were also actively preparing to escape.

Under their guidance, the escaped Hidden Ones had arrived near a huge container under Koyanskaya's command.

Although the Hidden Ones all wore expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?", they still reluctantly entered the room since things had come to this point.

Koyanskaya originally planned to wait until they escaped Chaldea and came here to find a means of transportation to temporarily evacuate, and then use her teleportation ability to take everyone away once they reached a safe place. However, time is too short now, and many of the vehicles in this warehouse are not built or loaded with fuel, so it is impossible to take them away.

At this moment, Hinako Akuta couldn't help but wonder, and she asked:

"Since you, Koyanskaya, possess the power to teleport, why don't you just take them away?"

"There's not enough time, and the target is too obvious,"

Koyanskaya was also helpless about this.

If she could, she would have taken everyone away long ago. However, her spacetime teleportation ability requires a long time to prepare and consume, and the magical reaction is huge. If she were to use it here, the effect would be no different from firing a signal flare into the sky. They would probably be caught up by pursuers and hacked to death before they could escape.

So this was her last resort.

Using the kinetic energy of the falling container, everyone put themselves inside and used magic to resist the attack, rushing directly from the hundred-meter-high cliff into the boundless ice field. Once it was safe, she used her abilities to teleport, ensuring the successful completion of the evacuation mission.

At this point, Kirshtalia suddenly realized something.

He looked at Koyanskaya and asked, "Did you never expect Russian reinforcements to rescue us from the beginning?"

"As expected of you, Kirshtalia, you're really clever."

Upon hearing this, Koyanskaya readily admitted it.

Yes.

Not only her, but Rasputin also never believed from the beginning that the Killer Hunters could get them out.

Ivan the Terrible's army was merely bait, cannon fodder to draw their fire.

Since the two of them already knew how terrible this place was through various intelligence channels, how could they possibly place their hopes on these cannon fodder?

Now they realize that this hellish place is even more terrifying than they expected.

Now, not only are the Hidden Ones reduced in number, but even Ashiya Dōman is unable to escape unscathed.

This also suggests that the Thunder Emperor's army will be completely destroyed soon.

These killing hunters even failed at the task of drawing the enemy's attention.

Rasputin glanced at the battle situation, then sighed and said, "Although in Ivan the Terrible's dream, as long as the Terrible doesn't awaken, these killing hunters will appear endlessly, their production rate is far slower than the destruction rate of Chaldea... It seems they are about to completely stabilize the situation, and we must escape immediately!"

"agree."

Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, they worked together to push the container to the edge of the cliff, having no other choice but to take a gamble.

"Look!"

However, just before they set off, Ophelia suddenly raised her head and looked into the distance. The people around her also looked over and saw that the last black hunter force had been completely wiped out at that moment.

Moreover, that entire massive army of tens of thousands of people had at this moment transformed into part of this snow-capped mountain. What's even more perplexing is that these killing hunters, who were the avatars of Ivan the Terrible's dream and were controlled by Ivan the Terrible's will, should have never experienced fear, never perished, felt no pain, never retreated, and existed solely for the purpose of fighting. Yet, at this moment, these familiars, who should have been constantly fighting...

Surprisingly—

Ran?

Yes, these killing hunters have actually started to run away on their own!

"This is troublesome."

This scene made Rasputin frown.

He realized that the deaths of too many killing hunters had begun to feed back into the dream from reality, thus affecting Ivan the Terrible's dream and frightening the Ivan the Terrible who had transformed into a primordial behemoth.

Chaldea's firepower alone is enough to frighten a Lostbelt King before they even meet.

Thinking about this, Rasputin found it even more absurd. There was no point in even considering it now; Russia's Lostbelt was already defunct, and it was absolutely impossible for them to participate in the end.

Upon witnessing the gruesome scene of the black army attempting to escape only to be overtaken and killed by the Chaldea army, Hinako Akuta couldn't help but remark:

"That's terrible... almost just like us."

"No, we weren't so bad off. On the contrary, it's amazing that four of the seven magicians managed to escape from that person's sight. That's a feat that can only be described as a miracle!"

Rasputin was very pleased:

"Now, the contractors of the alien gods, although there were some losses in this operation, it is still not a big deal. The Imaginary Tree is also ready. The moment those seeds are planted, our plan to rewrite Earth will officially begin."

"Furthermore, in order to counter Chaldea's resistance, our alien god boss will use his remaining power to launch a final intervention on Earth, no less powerful than the Incineration of Humanity, to ensure the growth of the Imaginary Tree and the establishment of the Lostbelt. Once we successfully escape from here, the future of humanity will officially be handed over to you..."

He hadn't finished his encouraging words.

Suddenly, an accident happened.

The next moment, a somewhat angry voice rang out from the snow-capped mountains of Chaldea.

"Although I already knew what you were thinking, hearing it with my own ears still makes me furious."

A male voice rang in everyone's ears:

"You are also a part of human history, and every one of you is human, yet you do such disgusting things. Why should the future of humanity be decided by a few traitors like you who collude with aliens?"

"Now I ask you—"

"What exactly do you take humanity for?!"

The angry words resounded almost telepathically, reaching everyone's ears—very close, extremely close, practically within arm's reach.

And indeed, they were very close.

"Oh no! Run!!"
