Then, there is Act III.

A team of well-trained Wild Hunt cavalry swept across the path like a storm, and a clear and eye-catching fountain of blood suddenly rose from the crowd gathered near the gate. At the same time, the Wild Hunt's rigid and cold voice, along with the sword's edge, roamed over the colorful pool: "This gate is a testament to the friendship between Asgard and Arvandor. It must not be blocked without reason. This is still within the boundaries of the Garden of Joseph. The dead can be resurrected the next day by our Lord's golden rooster, Phaara."

A Wild Hunt said in an unusually blunt voice, "If you refuse to obey, you are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying..."

He took a piece of rope from the saddle and shouted arrogantly: "Behind this colorful pond is the wild wilderness, and it is also the place where you will die!"

The nearby residents, having suffered such an unforeseen disaster, were naturally very dissatisfied with this. Almost all of the people who arrived here first were from Joseph's Garden. The Wild Hunters were fearless, so were they afraid?

Not to mention, this is no longer within the kingdom of Asgard, and the Wild Hunt has no right to act recklessly here.

But the reckless behavior of this group of wild hunters was beyond expectations.

They showed absolutely no intention of compromising. They distanced themselves from the crowd, then rearranged themselves and prepared to charge: "...Ten!"

The inhabitants said nothing, but formally drew their weapons, and the Wild Hunt began to swing his noose.

Ten seconds later, all the wild hunters took off into the air and threw nooses towards the crowd. Accompanied by screams and neighing horses, they dragged dozens of unlucky people out of the crowd and rushed into the prize pool together.

This scene shocked everyone present. Afterwards, the other residents present rushed into the pool like a tide in anger, leaving only footprints on the ground.

"...Is this the Wild Hunt's style?" Alastery tried to recall. "I remember they generally think highly of themselves, but that often manifests as arrogance, not this kind of arrogance."

This kind of arrogance and arrogance, which regards people other than themselves as everything else, is the consistent style of the Ferenjin elves of this era, especially the Vashan family.

"Miss Fenway." At this time, Sig was the first person to notice something unusual. "Can you tell how long ago this happened?"

The Archdruid didn't react for a moment: "This should be Emiya's job, right? You want me to save those crushed flowers and plants on the ground...ah, I see."

Fenwei lowered his head and saw the mess in front of the pool, and immediately reacted.

This group of messy guests naturally don't know what protecting the environment is. The flower path created by Corellon has been trampled to pieces.

The problem is that the footprints and traces left behind are very fresh.

Fenwei concluded: "It didn't take long, maybe a day, maybe a few hours... The flowers that were crushed by the crowd haven't even dried up completely yet!"

"That's a big problem." Sig reminded the three people who were still in a trance and had not yet fully recovered. "Although you may not take this matter to heart, don't forget the current state of Asgard."

Elastrid was silent for a moment, then finally realized the problem: "The Wild Hunt army should still be there...?"

"No, it's more than that." Emiya hammered her head. "Although our attention was drawn to the bet, in reality, the bet was just an additional prize for the Ascension War. That war is still the Ascension War! According to the rules, if the Wild Hunt loses, they will all be demoted to Heroic Spirits, and the Heroic Spirits will be promoted to Wild Hunt. That being said, we are all aware of Asgard's situation - this process will not happen overnight."

Therefore, the exchange of forces between the two armies had not even begun. Both the Heroic Spirits and the Wild Hunt were completely paralyzed at this moment, having effectively ceased all activity.

Right now, there shouldn't be any Wild Hunt out there! If they're trapped outside because their mission is too dangerous, that's fine.

But outside of Asgard, in a place only a few hours away from the God King, he could act tyrannically? This was simply impossible!

However, Emiya had another conclusion: "...but unfortunately, they really are the Wild Hunt. I have carefully observed the equipment and actions of the Wild Hunt. Although the group of people just now moved a little stiffly for some reason, their warhorses and armor were genuine. They are at least former Wild Hunt."

The problem remains the same - they should be former Wild Hunts now. Even if they weren't caught up in that strange event, they should have regrouped under Thor by now. At least their equipment should be returned. How could they be wandering around here?

"Get ready for battle," Emiya said, "let's go."

They were no longer fledgling adventurers. This Wild Hunt was no threat to them.

-----------------

Unrestrained wilderness.

The two most famous divine realms in this outer plane are Arvandor, home to the elven Seldarine pantheon, and Olympus, home to the Greek gods. The majestic Mount Olympus is one of Araujo's most famous landmarks, and it's said that descending the mountain leads to the material world where the Greek gods are worshipped.

Freedom and unrestrained entertainment are advocated here, and everyone hopes to indulge in music and singing - this will allow the residents here to move more freely. However, because of this reason, although this is an upper plane that tends to be kind, the defenses of the plane itself are actually not strict.

Avandor and the gods of Olympus chose to strengthen the external protection of their own planes, and let the unrestrained wilderness in the public areas run wild.

In Celestial Mountain and Joseph's Garden, your misbehavior will quickly attract other people's attention, and the local residents don't mind doing heroic things at all - the residents of the Wilderness don't lack a sense of justice, they just don't care about it that much.

Therefore, in the eyes of the four elf craftsmen, this place is almost a no-man's land for them - no one regards the Untamed Wilderness as their own, and no one will tell others about anything strange they see here.

An excellent ambush location.

Even so, they were still hiding in a clearing in an unknown forest, hundreds of miles away from their target and Avando, completely out of sight.

"How long have Lashriel and Metatron been gone?"

Hearing Rainbow's question, Guang Yong replied, "The two Seraphim servants have been gone for an hour."

Naturally, the duty of these two Seraphic Gods was originally to guide Emiya and others near the colorful pool in the Wilderness of the Wilderness.

However, they were too relaxed now and did not expect that someone would take action at this point in time - moreover, Metatron also knew that Emiya and her group came from the future.

At this point in time, no one knew of Emiya and his group's existence, let alone their enemies.

Therefore, there would be no problem in leaving temporarily during these short hours of travel - Emiya and his group were much better off than the local residents who had been massacred.

In comparison, a group of wild hunters wantonly killing on the newly established passage to the divine realm was a world-shaking event. If there was any problem, everything that had just been established at the banquet might be wasted.

We must immediately investigate the whole matter.

Hunt down this group of wild hunters, stop them from hurting anyone else, find Emya and her group, and report to Corellon and Odin.

These things are urgent.

——And this is what the four of them want to see.

Seraphim are creatures even rarer than gods. Aside from a few rare and exceptionally rare angels, Seraphim are second only to the most powerful in their faiths.

The servants of the Seraphim will not act recklessly, and their actions must represent the will of the God-King.

As long as these three Seraphs are still staring at Emilia, everything they do will be in vain.

Their actions were not strict, and could even be said to be full of loopholes - if Emilia and her group had gone directly to Avandor without taking this new road.

If Emilia and her group were following the Goddess of the Demon Net or even the God-King Corellon.

If they were isolated from the news and missed the period when Emiya and her group were helpless...

There are endless similar assumptions, and as long as any one of them comes true, their efforts will be in vain.

However, they seemed lucky - they really waited for that possibility.

The Seraph's Servant Phileresel sent them a message: [Rainbow, where are the four of you now? Why haven't you returned to Arvandor?! My Lord Corellon has commanded me to immediately confirm your location and safety.]

This news also means that the last Seraphim servant has left his post.

At the same time, the Wild Hunt at the front gave the most crucial report: Emiya and his party finally appeared.

The four of them, wielding high-level magic, risked exposing their actions every day—and now, their efforts had finally paid off!

The four of them looked at each other and immediately started the final activity.

These four craftsmen, as the best of the Vasan family, are all high-level wizards.

Because of this, the two skills of craftsmanship and high magic have completely occupied all their time, and they never delve into the ways of the world - if there is any conflict, it is always others who give way to them.

Royal family, top-tier craftsman, and high-ranking mage—these three identities earned them immense respect both in life and after death. However, this fortuitous trip resulted in them suffering the two greatest failures and humiliations of their lives.

——This revenge must be avenged!

Rainbow immediately responded with the words they had already prepared: [Sir! We left too early. The Ascension War seemed to be still going on. We clashed with the Wild Hunt and were hunted for days and nights. We haven't fully recovered yet.]

【Why did you come into conflict with the Wild Hunt? 】

Rainbow was silent for a moment, then replied: "We don't know either. We just said a few words, and the Wild Hunt flew into a rage."

If this kind of statement were made in a different setting or with a different group of respondents, no one would believe it.

——But as a member of the Wasan family of the Kingdom of Erivanda, Rainbow's words are very convincing.

Sure enough, Fillorisel on the other side was speechless after hearing these words and couldn't speak for a while.

But the three golden elves other than Rainbow have already started their final revenge without hesitation.

【Ascension】

This high-level magic, which has long been classified as a taboo, is impeccable in terms of the upper limit of its single-target lethality - it can grind bones to ashes, scatter souls, and even wipe out all traces of existence. At the same time, there are almost no signs when it is activated, and there is no direct protection to block it.

The Vasan family had just invented this spell and regarded it as a treasure - and the reason why the kingdom was invincible in the First Crown War was precisely because of its existence.

Although this spell was banned by Corellon himself after the Crown War, such a commemorative spell is still a compulsory course for the Vasan family.

This spell was supposed to destroy an entire family, paralyze a large area - and now, they used it to kill just one person.

In other words, to kill a person.

In this case, the four of them are enough to do it.

The only limitation of ascension is that it cannot cross planes, and there is a considerable casting time.

Next, as long as Emilia and her group stayed in the Wilderness for a while... he would be doomed.

The plan begins.

"I am the son of the Seldarine, the banished god of Arvandor."

Amidst the chanting of high magic, Rainbow began to negotiate with Seraphim: [—Sir, we have a serious problem now... We are lost. As you know, we have never lived in the Wilderness for long. After death, we went directly from Evermeet to Arvandor. Now we are in a panic and have no idea where we are.]

[Teleport?] She shook her head repeatedly. [We were exhausted and panicked while being hunted by the Wild Hunt. Our magic power was almost exhausted. Now we finally found a place to rest.]

They couldn't say they were safe - otherwise the relieved Seraphim would probably turn around and protect Emilia.

They also couldn't say that they were in imminent danger - otherwise the startled Seraphim might anxiously use the wish spell to forcibly teleport to their side.

They must restrain all relevant parties and make Emilia stay in the unrestrained wilderness from beginning to end during the chanting of ascension!

The chants of high magic roared through this unknown forest. And in the distance, the actions of Emiya and her companions, who knew nothing about this, were being transmitted to their ears through the distant Wild Hunt!

Emiya and his companions were still investigating the situation in confusion - the victims slaughtered by the Wild Hunt were still near the lottery pool.

Completely unaware that death is approaching.

“…I saw him.”

At this moment, Guang Yong couldn't help but whispered: "...Strange, I saw him?"

Generally speaking, this is absolutely impossible.

They were now hundreds of miles away from Emiya. At this distance, Emiya and her group should have become an undetectable particle.

Not to mention, among them are endless forests, towering mountains and valleys, lush wheat fields and orchards.

The other two who were casting spells, Xinglu and Yemai, also said at the same time: "... Strange, I seem to feel that Feisheng is connecting with Emiya...? Feisheng is touching his soul, body... and, flame?"

It is well known that Ascension destroys both the target's flesh and soul.

However, in reality, the caster cannot perceive the specific details of this process - when casting on a large scale, they even have to prepare pages in advance to confirm that their ascension is indeed successful.

——But now, their ascension chant was already halfway through, and they sensed Emiya's presence, as if they were connected to him.

I don't understand anything and have never heard of anything.

However, the danger hidden behind this wonder made them tremble uncontrollably.

If the original ascension was poisoning or assassination.

And now, as if naked, holding a tiny scraper, they walked up to the fully armed Emilia and challenged him.

"Calm down." Rainbow, the only one who didn't participate in the spellcasting, couldn't understand the confusion of her friends and family. She just comforted them, "Even if he realizes he's been targeted, it's too late now."

They didn't appreciate it at all.

As if they had witnessed something incredible, they began to whisper, "...Did he see us?"

"He's chanting? He's chanting to us? This is impossible. He's discovered us? How is this possible?"

Guang Yong trembled violently: "...No...No! We shouldn't use Ascension..."

Immediately, Guang Yong screamed, "...Rainbow! Have the remaining Wild Hunt attack immediately! Otherwise it will be too late!"

Rainbow didn't understand what was going on, but while negotiating with the distant Seraphim Shixu, she quickly gave orders.

The Wild Hunt team they controlled now only had 500 riders left.

They should have rushed forward and held back Emilia and her group or the Seraphic Servant when Emilia and her group realized the abnormality and tried to leave, ensuring that Emilia and her group could not leave before the ascension was completed.

But no matter what, they certainly cannot control the Wild Hunt forever, and now is indeed the time to use this trump card.

However, Rainbow really couldn't empathize with their feelings.

Now, there is only half a minute left before the chant of ascension is completed.

Half a minute later, Emiya was reduced to ashes.

Just at this moment, the three people whispered: "...The volcano erupted."

“…It’s blooming.”
