Equipment Printing School Mage

"...Sorry." Mars bowed and apologized.

At this moment, the boat rocked slightly.

As if being caught by something.

Emiya narrowed her eyes slightly.

His astronomical knowledge wasn't exceptional, just common sense. But considering their travel time, they should have reached the critical point of gravity between the two planets.

——In other words, they were officially captured by Abel and Toril.

Then, they would no longer be sailing, but would return to the embrace of gravity and fall towards the earth. Their altitude would become faster and faster over time until they actually fell to the ground.

Haverfont was startled by the shaking and coughed lightly. "Mr. Mars, where is the so-called eye you saw? I want to confirm whether it is Shar's eye. If so... we may have to adjust our course."

"I hope we're just too sensitive," Mars said, pointing her in the direction.

Emiya and Yin also looked in that direction curiously.

——It’s amazing.

In a world that looks like a kindergarten abstract painting, that eye is indeed exquisite enough.

Beautiful enough.

What was fatal was that the moment Haverfont tried to find the eye, the eye seemed to sense something and immediately looked towards Tianyu, meeting Haverfont's gaze.

——Is that really an eye?

At tens of thousands of kilometers away, a real eye should not be qualified to occupy an electrical signal on the retina - but now, Haverfont can be aware of its existence with incredible clarity.

The illusion master screamed and immediately hid behind the figurehead, holding his head. "That's not a line! Don't look there!"

Looking at Haverfont's reaction, even a fool would have known whose eyes those so-called women were! Suddenly, the deck erupted in chaos.

Emiya covered the eyes of a certain silver-haired lady with her hand and turned her head away. "—What should we do next? Will she attack soon?"

"I don't know... I don't know..." Halffont panted for a moment before answering tremblingly, "...Anyway, we can't continue to advance in the Shadowless Underworld! We've already advanced far enough!"

Yin, naturally, was very dissatisfied and tried to push Emiya's hand away. Emiya could only wrestle with her Miss Yin while saying, "So, what should we do next? How do we decide when to leave the Shadowfall Underworld?"

"...A lookout is necessary no matter what," Halffont said. "But if the goddess has already discovered us, this lookout will obviously become her first target."

"I'll observe," said the usually passive Silver. "We've discussed the details many times—it takes six seconds to exit the Shadowfell and return to the Material Plane. So we have to estimate whether we'll be on Toril or Abeir in six seconds. I'll do that—I'll give the command, and you'll teleport the ship immediately."

"But there's a problem: I can't focus on Shar's movements and the changes in time phase at the same time: Shar is too far away from me!"

Yin doesn't look like a particularly reliable person, but in reality, she almost never makes mistakes when she says she's going to do something.

At this moment, Metatron, who was theoretically still resting, rushed to the bow of the ship: "-What happened? Are we being targeted?"

"Yes, we may have entered Shar's observation area!" Emiya shouted. "Teacher, could you please observe Shar's movements? I'll plan the spacecraft's maneuvering route!"

"I'll be the first mate... Hey, all right." Mars rushed to the spherical rudder and shouted, "I'm ready!"

Metatron did not hesitate and stood silently at the bow of the ship.

The next second, everyone on the boat and their shadows shuddered collectively for no reason.

Emiya's teeth chattered for no apparent reason, but he persisted in staring in Shar's direction.

The eye on the planet now became extremely...cold.

And anger.

Even though Emiya couldn't see anything yet, the sense of crisis of being watched by the gods made his heart beat wildly, and he wished he could pump all the blood in his heart to his whole body in an instant.

At this moment, Metatron said calmly: "A ray will penetrate the second crossbar from the top of the mainmast. The attack should arrive within ten minutes."

Shar's attack is coming! Even though the two sides are tens of thousands of kilometers apart!

Emilia shouted, "Maneuver, Mars, turn to 8 o'clock in ten seconds, then to 2 o'clock in one minute, and repeat this three times!"

The paladin couldn't help but be shocked: "So steering the route is such a troublesome thing?!"

The airship is not that flexible. In fact, the so-called control direction is just to change the direction of the bow on a plane. The steering wheel can only move it up and down.

- The amazing thing is that in this environment of falling towards the ground, the magic plate on the bottom of the flying ship, which was originally only used for vertical lifting and lowering, has burst out with amazing mobility. While the bow is still turning awkwardly, the hull has begun to slide down sharply.

The magical plates beneath the ship creaked, and the entire massive vessel began to plummet into the boundless sky. It traced a twisting arc through the falling sky. Just as Mars was about to complain about the benefits of such an overly complex trajectory, a streak of purple-black light rapidly expanded within everyone's field of vision, sweeping across the Platinum's roof like a flash of lightning across the clouds. The terrifying storm of divine power overcame the Platinum Dragon God's protection, throwing everyone on deck toppling over.

In a world of black and white, this beautiful and elegant purple light was too conspicuous and eye-catching! This must be Shar's attack!

The new first mate, Mars, took a deep breath and continued to steer the Platinum quickly, shouting, "Nice evasive maneuver... what's next?"

What beautiful.

The Platinum had already made a significant maneuver when the attack was launched, but the attack still narrowly missed the hull...

This showed that Shar was even able to control the divine power bombardment that had already been launched, and the effect of maneuverability was quite limited. He was very lucky to be able to dodge the first attack.

Moreover, the platinum dragon statue can only resist the dragon's breath, and it is impossible to withstand the bombardment of real divine power!

While the two were still talking, Yin suddenly added, "Don't forget, [Gods cannot attack mortals directly]. This is a limitation of the Material Plane, or Toril. We're not on Toril anymore, we're not even on the Material Plane. That old man, AO, wouldn't reach out that far. Shar values ​​dignity. If he attacks, he'll make sure we're humiliated before he considers it over."

At this moment, the Blazing God Servant's second warning sounded again: "Here it comes, this time it will penetrate the main keel and go through the hull."

"Mars, climb! Climb!"

The deck was in chaos. Elaster and Sig, who were resting, were also drawn to the deck. The pastor girl was even more annoyed... or rather, she shouted with joy: "--Emya! We were attacked by gods, and you actually left me aside!"

"It was too urgent just now. We were too late!" Emilia shouted hurriedly, "Alestria, you've arrived just in time. We can't stay any longer. We must leave the Shadowfall immediately. Give Halffont the Feat spell. She must not make any mistakes in this spell!"

"understood."

Braving the constant sway of the ship's maneuvers, Elaster rushed to the illusionist's side, infusing her with Tymora's luck. Immediately afterwards, the Lucky Priest, who hadn't been on deck for two hours, pointed curiously at the smooth lines passing by her side. "...Do you see that? These lines are already approaching us."

However, before Emiya could respond, Shar's second wave of attack had already arrived.

What frightened Emiya was that this time, the energy beams that bombarded their spaceship were no longer a passing ray, but a continuous energy beam. This energy beam actually passed through the bottom of the Platinum from the very beginning, scraping against the magic plate and making a terrifying hissing sound.

What was even more terrifying was that the beam of light began to rise rapidly and slowly approached them!

Emilia shouted, "Twelve o'clock, look up, lift up!"

At almost the same moment, they seemed to have finally entered a certain elemental control zone for the first time, and countless lines rushed towards them. Yin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Halffont, cast a spell."

"Huh!?" Haverfont almost didn't react, but he immediately started chanting loudly with a start.

The bad news was that even though Mars tried his best to maneuver, the energy beam still managed to hit their hull. The keel screamed the moment it came into contact with the divine power and was instantly shattered.

What's even more terrible is that Shar obviously has no intention of stopping, but continues to raise the energy beam towards the deck!

——The only good news is that they are not on the water now, so the ship will not fall apart immediately.

Just as the entire ship was about to be split in two, the world they faced finally changed again.

The smooth lines that were originally swimming rapidly around them seemed to have finally been filled in with color by a lazy painter, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a clear green stream.

However, the amount of water flowing was simply too much.

The overwhelming water flow almost instantly swallowed the entire hull, and even the mouths and noses of everyone present were submerged by the water flow. Before they could react, all the people on the ship were swallowed up in the water.

At this moment, the platinum dragon statue that had been silent for a long time emitted a dazzling light, and the platinum shield once again protected the entire airship. The endless water elements were instantly pushed out by the power of the gods, and only some moisture still remained on the deck.

“…Puff…cough cough!”

Emilia coughed out the water that had choked her trachea in pain, and watched helplessly as the water elements that had just been expelled from her body were also expelled from the dragon statue.

The same was true for his other teammates, with only Sig looking completely unaffected. Meanwhile, hissing steam and dancing silver flames rose from around Silver and Metatron.

Silverfire is so convenient, Emiya muttered softly.

But then he realized something even more crucial.

The sudden change just now naturally caused them to almost die on the spot, but Shar's attack also disappeared.

Emiya rushed to the bow in astonishment.

——Why is there so much water!?

Now, their ship seemed to be floating in a bubble, drifting forward in the river. The astonishing speed of the ship quickly created a terrifying heat around them, and boiling steam rose up around them in just a few seconds.

But Emiya still saw below them.

Through the rippling water, Emiya clearly saw a blue planet.

That's definitely not Toril. Toril's topography is actually quite similar to Earth's, and you can see all the traces of plate movement.

The terrain of the planet in front of him was completely different from Toril.

Directly below them was an extremely vast ocean, but the edge of the ocean was filled with all kinds of strange and uncomfortable landforms: inexplicable cracks in the earth, a sea of ​​fire blazing on the beach, and thunderstorms that were rampant in the sky with no signs of stopping.

And most importantly, there are unusual landmarks like this Milky Way.

At the end of her vision, Emya saw with incredible clarity a mountain that literally reached into the sky, at least tens of thousands of meters high;

There was no doubt about it. They had arrived, they had come to Abel.

However, there is still one problem that remains unresolved.

If Abel's landmark was still at least thousands of kilometers below them...

So why did they go into the water?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Yin whispered, "...a gate leading to the water elemental plane has been opened thousands of kilometers in the sky. Countless water elements rushed out from it, transforming into the most magnificent celestial river roaring down towards Abel. Perhaps this is the origin of all the water on this planet."

Emiya pursed her lips: "...Can this really allow the planet to survive?"

"I don't know, but it should be possible." Yin pointed in the direction of the sun. "After all, there are countless fire element gates there."

As he spoke, Yin's face turned horribly pale: "...Emiya, there is one more thing."

"what?"

"Without the magic network, it's more uncomfortable than I thought." As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have lost her last strength and fell straight into Emilia's arms.

6. The clothes are heavy

In Emiya's impression, Yin's energy is extremely strong most of the time.

Furthermore, although she may not appear to be powerful, within her slender frame lies an immense amount of strength. Even though Alestria is a priest who spends years wielding weapons and hammering down enemies, her strength is likely no greater than Silver's.

——In summary, Silver is actually a hidden female Tyrannosaurus Rex. In fact, she doesn't even seem to have been injured since her adventure.

Because of this, Emiya didn't even react at first, thinking it was just another sudden whim of Yin. It wasn't until he realized that Yin's body was so weak that he seemed to have lost all his strength that he hugged him in shock.

What happened? How did it affect her?

Emiya quickly reviewed the situation along the way.

The Platinum received a brutal kick from the strange wizard upon departure, but it was able to cross the vast distance between the Earth and the Moon at an astonishing speed. However, according to the original plan, this speed should have begun to seriously decrease after entering the atmosphere due to the intense friction. Before that, the ship should have continued to accelerate due to the pull of gravity.

——But now, the ship plunged into a vertical celestial river, and the speed of the ship was much faster than the speed of the water flow, causing the speed of the ship to quickly decrease.

The time they spend traveling or diving in the Celestial River is likely to be longer than the time they spend traveling between the Earth and the Moon.

She didn't seem injured, so what caused her to suddenly faint?

Shar's influence? But Shar's power didn't seem to be able to transcend the barriers of the world. The moment they ascended to Abel, Shar's fierce bombardment vanished in an instant.

Is it because of the peculiarity of Abel itself? Or is it because of the abnormality of this water itself?

Silver's abnormality was naturally the most conspicuous on the surviving deck. Elastrid hurried over and cast a spell on Silver that should have been effective.

Advanced Restoration Techniques were supposed to be enough to handle all sorts of abnormal influences, but as the silver powder dissipated, Silver could only lie powerlessly on Emilia's chest, breathing heavily as he spoke, "I've become weaker... Something... is suppressing me."

Haverfont was confused: "...Suppress? Suppress what? Suppress humans? But Mars and Emiya don't seem to be affected?"

Emiya narrowed her eyes slightly.

He had almost confirmed Yin's identity. Given this situation, he naturally knew that it was highly unlikely that Yin was truly human. Even if she was human in some sense, she must be hiding a huge secret within her body.

—She must have a vast amount of silver fire within her. Or, to put it the other way around, for Silver, her body might be an acquired shell, while the magic web is her essence.

When she thought of this, Emiya cast a subtle look towards Metatron.

The Seraphic Servant clearly realized something as well. He nodded slightly at Emiya and took over the topic: "...The Demonic Web has been severely suppressed. Silver usually relies too much on Silverfire, and as a result, it has been greatly affected at this time."

"Can the magic network be suppressed!?" Mars cried out in astonishment.

The Seraph replied, "In theory, the Anti-Magic Field itself relies on the Suppression Weave. However, the intensity of that spell is probably far from comparable to the suppression we, the Chosen Ones, are experiencing. A well-trained magic priest could probably resist the effects of the Anti-Magic Field, but now..."

She tried to light a flame on her fingertips with the silver flame, then shook her head heavily. "...What a terrifying effect. No wonder Halrua'a has been trapped here for nearly a hundred years."

It seems that resolving this suppressive effect of unknown origin will be the ultimate goal of their trip.
