Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

This time, Altria was not going to let it go. She took Yad from Gray again and gave it a good beating.

As for the people who came later getting along better and better, maybe, maybe...

"Well, isn't this a good way to get along? With an interesting character like Kai acting as a regulator, I believe that Altria and Gray will be able to communicate better."

Xia Yuan looked at the people behind him who were gradually fighting each other, smiled and expressed his feelings, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

Without interrupting the conversation between the two girls with the same appearance, Belsak quickly quickened his pace and followed Xia Yuan, carefully keeping a safe distance.

If you get too close, you will be crushed by the powerful magic.

The two of them led the way in front.

“It’s a really interesting place.”

After walking for about thirty minutes, Xia Yuan looked around at the blue stone tunnel which remained unchanged, and began to wonder about the strangeness of this place.

It looks like we are moving forward, but is it actually going in a cycle?

"It's like a snake holding its tail in its mouth, with the head and tail responding to each other, maintaining a special circulation pattern."

Xia Yuan then glanced at Belsak and asked him, "When you were in and out, did the scenery and structure here remain the same?"

"What do you mean?"

"The changes around it are not only the texture of the blue slate, but also the degree of weathering, which remains strangely unchanged."

"No, I also feel very strange. In fact, when I entered the forbidden area this time, I suddenly had a strange feeling."

Belsak shook his head and said, "According to the custom of the gravekeeper, I go in and out of the forbidden area once a year. Although the road to the forbidden area is long, it will take us about half an hour to walk."

"But the feeling of entering this time was indeed very strange. I also had the illusion that I was going in circles. But this is a one-way street, so there is no way I can get lost."

"Really? You are also..."

Using his pale blue eyes to accurately capture everything about the surrounding scenery, Xia Yuan nodded silently and then gave an answer to Belsak's doubts.

"You know what? We have walked 15 kilometers, and the changes in the surrounding scenery have gone through five cycles. Almost every three kilometers we walk, we fall into a cycle."

"I tried to use magic to leave some marks on the wall to mark the route, but they disappeared as I walked. So this space has been tampered with by someone, and the means are very sophisticated."

"Are you saying that someone entered the forbidden area before us and did something here?!"

Belsak was shocked upon hearing this.

"Yes, the barrier here is very clever. It is definitely not a simple closed loop. It may be a special barrier that is assembled to cooperate with movement. Of course, the possibility of a boundless barrier cannot be ruled out."

"But that possibility is not high. After all, maintaining a large barrier requires extremely high magic power. But this barrier gives me the feeling that it obviously does not reach the level required to form a large barrier."

"Then what should we do? Should we first return to the original route and leave here, and then go out to make a long-term plan?"

"No, that would be too troublesome. Besides, we are lost now. Even if we go back the same way, it will be difficult to find the entrance again."

"But you don't have to panic. Although the special barrier here is ingenious, it is not difficult to break it. There are probably two ways."

As Xia Yuan explained, he reached out and touched the wall.

"The first method is the most formal. The person entering needs to have knowledge of the barrier. In this passage, they need to analyze the details of the barrier, find the node of the barrier, and then wait for an opportunity to break it."

"However, there is definitely no outstanding magician among us who is proficient in barrier magic, so we can't use it. As for the second method..."

As Xia Yuan was speaking, the hand that was touching the wall began to exert force, and his five fingers pressed on the joints of the wall, causing cracks to suddenly appear on the wall of the entire tunnel. The entire passage began to shatter and collapse rapidly with a force as if the sky and the earth were collapsing.

He smiled and said, "Using magic power far beyond the barrier's endurance, or powerful enough attack magic, or the destructive treasure of the heroic spirit to directly shatter it is also a way."

"Just like what I am doing now, use absolute power to break the rules of this barrier!"

Boom——!

Boom——! !

Continuous explosions sounded throughout the tunnel, and the walls, ceiling, and even everywhere collapsed at a rapid speed.

The falling blue stone slabs and rubble came down like a violent storm, and the terrifying momentum seemed as if it could bury them underground forever in the next instant.

"The tunnel collapsed?!"

Altria looked at the collapsing tunnel with caution.

"Yade, what on earth happened? This is so scary."

Feeling the violent shaking of the tunnel and the blue stone slab falling in front of her, Gray held her head with a look of panic on her face.

“Aaaaaah——!! I don’t know what’s going on. What the hell did you do?! If this goes on, we’re all going to be buried alive here!!”

"Nothing, I just chose the simplest way to crack it."

"Are you crazy?! The barrier is indeed broken, but we haven't gotten out yet!!" Yade shouted anxiously.

"Everyone calm down first, there is still a way."

After calming down the frightened crowd, Xia Yuan looked at Altria and then spoke.

"I have broken the special barrier that imprisoned us. It will take some time for it to completely collapse. Now we just have to rush out before the tunnel collapses."

"As for the specific direction, going forward is the end point, and going backward is returning to the starting point along the original route."

Hearing Xia Yuan's ridiculous method, Belsak was speechless and began to complain in his heart: "Isn't your method too rough? Just blow up the forbidden area. How are we supposed to get out after we get in?"

But before she could ask, Altria no longer hesitated and picked up Gray beside her, then rushed out quickly amid her screams.

"Eh?!!"

All that was left was Gray's exclamation.

Because Altria's body was too petite, it would be a bit difficult for her to hug a target as big as Belsak, so he let Xia Yuan take charge.

Although the old man was still strong and healthy and it seemed that there would be no problem for him to run away, in order to prevent him from falling behind, Xia Yuan decided to carry him on his back.

Rumbling--

The tunnel was collapsing at an increasingly faster speed. Seeing this, Xia Yuan had no choice but to let him refuse and directly carried him on his back. He then performed magic to strengthen his limbs, and with his special physical fitness, he actually burst out with an mobility that was no less than that of Altria, a heroic spirit.

Xia Yuan glanced at Belsak behind him and said lightly.

"Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

Then Xia Yuan stood firm and rushed out quickly.

Chapter 95 You are the Challenger! (Two in One)

"Asshole! You actually acted so recklessly that you messed up all my plans."

Compared to Xia Yuan's smooth and unimpeded journey, the witch lady on the other side was in a very bad mood.

In Avalon.

Through the magic mirror in front of him, Morgan le Fay saw Xia Yuan breaking the barrier he had set up, and he felt furious.

"Oh, oh, don't be angry."

"After all, this new magician is not someone who follows the rules. He is a restless person. Of course, he will not follow the rules you set."

Looking at the angry Morgan le Fay, Merlin couldn't help but feel happy. He stood up and poured her a cup of scented tea with a smile.

After all, as the person who has had the longest contact with Xia Yuan, he naturally has a deep understanding of this.

It's hard to describe how restless that little ancestor is in just a few words.

But to be honest, it's very interesting.

He didn't hate getting along with such a trouble-making little guy.

That's why he continued to maintain close contact with Xia Yuan after the end of the Holy Grail War, and they became friends.

Now that Xia Yuan has been recognized by the Root and has mastered the magic of the Third Miracle, he is no longer the chess piece that could only go with the flow during the Holy Grail War.

Morgan wanted him to act according to his own consciousness, but this idea was not realistic.

"The third magician? He is a special existence who masters the miracle of soul materialization. With the power he possesses and the ability to explain concepts, if he insists on climbing to a higher level, he can even be compared with the main gods in the heyday of the Age of Gods. He is indeed very tricky." Morgan murmured.

"So you're ready to give up?"

Merlin couldn't help but smile at this, and continued to advise: "If you ask me, since Altria has been reborn as a heroic spirit and let go of the tragedy in the past, we should stop interfering in her life."

"You have been preparing for her for so many years, isn't it because you hope that she can start a new life after resurrection?"

"It's better to free her from the gravekeeper's curse. There's no need to create so many trials for her, and then end with a drama of sisters killing each other spanning a thousand years. Such a development is too cruel to the girl and will only make her sad."

"Oh?"

Merlin's words made Morgan slightly stunned. He raised his eyebrows and said with some amusement: "I really didn't expect such words to come from such a person. What's wrong, Merlin? Didn't you like watching this kind of show the most in the past?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to chase interesting stories in the world? Don't you think stories like this are interesting?"

"Oh? Really? I forgot..."

Merlin smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, but still spoke slowly under Morgan's scrutiny.

"It's definitely interesting, and to be honest I'm looking forward to it, but let's forget about it now."

"But Yuan is my friend. I don't want to see him angry, and his feelings for Altria..."

"Well, if I must explain, it's probably a debt. Altria's death is still the only thing that made me feel special emotions since I was alive."

"That feeling of guilt lingered in my heart for a long time. It was not a comfortable feeling, and even made me feel regretful and self-blame. So in the days that followed, I tried my best to find ways to make it up to her."

Merlin sighed and said with some guilt: "Yuan's appearance helped me fulfill this wish."

"During the Holy Grail War, he used his sword and words to awaken Altria's confused heart and taught her to let go. Now, using the third method, we have successfully allowed Altria to reappear in the world as a heroic spirit. I hope she can have a new life."

"We have done enough. Altria has let it go. Morgan, you should also let go of your obsession."

"Merlin..."

Morgan looked into Merlin's eyes and suddenly spoke up.

"What's wrong?"

"Your hypocritical attitude is really disgusting. It is you who killed Altria, and that damn old King Uther! It was you who pushed her onto the throne!! It was you who made her bear the inevitable death!!!"

"This is just a coincidence, do you think you have done enough? The damage you have brought to Altria is definitely not just this!!"

"I'm sorry...it's my responsibility and I have to bear it. If you want to blame me, I have no complaints." Merlin did not quibble and lowered his head.

"If you really want to judge me, I won't fight back or run away. But please be gentle, okay? I'm actually quite afraid of pain."

"Judge you? Then let you feel so-called relief and forget about this matter? Merlin, you are still as despicable as ever."

Her jade-like fingers tapped lightly on the table. In an instant, accompanied by Morgan's anger, the surging magic power tore a horrifying gash from where her fingertips fell. The exquisite tea set on the table also fell to the ground with a crisp "paji!" sound.

"Merlin, I don't want to argue with a murderer like you right now, but I won't kill you either. You don't deserve it, and that disgusting soul and body will only dirty my hands."

"Altria is my sister. Although there have been many accidents in the past that have made our relationship unhappy, we are still sisters by blood. I will never harm her and push her to a dead end like you did."

Morgan stood up and said without question: "The world is closed. It is difficult for us who are in Avalon to come and go as we please."

"But the things I left in that village can help me leave for a short time. This is also a rare opportunity for us sisters to meet."

"So... I advise you not to do anything unnecessary secretly this time, Merlin. Otherwise, your fate will not be as simple as being locked up in the Tower of the End."

Morgan didn't hesitate after he finished speaking. He raised his black staff and knocked the ground. His figure turned into black mist and disappeared in the tower at the end, leaving Merlin alone with his head down and a bitter smile.

"Really...it looks like I can't help you again, Altria."

"Yuan, I'll leave it to you from now on, my friend..."

……

……

"Is it Morgan le Fay? Or something else? But the design of the barrier here is indeed very interesting."

The reckless act of directly using magic power to shatter the great barrier has obviously disrupted the plan of the person behind the scenes.

For example, there was a witch named Morgan le Fay who sensed that Altria had returned and returned overnight.

The unknown force that Zibia mentioned that snatched control of [Logos React] was the work left by this witch.

She knew that Artoria would definitely come here, so she spent a lot of effort to set up a large barrier in the gravekeeper's forbidden area, as well as many trials and tests, in the hope of having a touching sisterly reunion (heart-to-heart) with her in the end.

But Xia Yuan's rude behavior completely shattered her plan.
