Chapter 1125: Chapter 772 Mutual Harm Chapter 1125: Chapter 772 Mutual Harm Due to such an unexpected occurrence, Duanmu Huai and his party also had no choice but to decide on a retreat, returning once again to the Mage's Mansion that served as their base.
“So you're saying that in this world, there actually exists a daughter of Miss Alice Phil?”
Even Mash expressed her astonishment.
“It's the daughter of another world's me… I guess?”
Alice Phil was at a loss for words; an unexpected daughter had popped up out of the blue, and not only that, she was the child of another man, though not herself, but another Alice Phil from a different timeline. This left Alice Phil puzzled and uncertain about what to do.
“It's quite unexpected, Alice Phil, that you would be so fickle-hearted. I, for one, will definitely be devoted solely to my Master and will not fall for any other man!”
Medea declared confidently to Alice Phil, who, although wanting to say something in return, found herself unable to speak– after all, even if it was herself from a different timeline, it was still her… What could Alice Phil possibly say? She could only be frustrated wondering why another version of herself from a different timeline would marry a man she didn't know at all.
“That's not important. The issue is that this Singularity is very complex, so we must make sure we're prepared.”
Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, was unconcerned with such trivial matters. After all, a different timeline had no intersection with his own; there was no need for excessive concern. Indeed, upon their arrival at this Singularity, Duanmu Huai and the others, including Alice Phil, naturally hurried to the Holy Grail. However, to their surprise, this time, the space leading to the Holy Grail was completely sealed off. It was like a black box, and according to Doctor Roman, unless the external conditions reached the appropriate node, the black box would not open.
Hmm… So does this mean that, unlike before, we can't just dismantle the Holy Grail directly, but have to take out the other Servants?
For Duanmu Huai, it didn't really matter.
“First, let's pick a target. Currently, we know of SABER, ARCHER, BERSERKER, and…”
“What is Sakura's Servant again?”
“She hasn't mentioned it, but she hasn't shown herself either. It seems she's not the type to fight head-on; maybe it's CASTER or ASSASSIN?”
“So the remaining ones are RIDER and LANCER?”
“I thought it would be as simple as taking them all down in one fell swoop like the fourth time, but turns out the actual fighters are just two. How dull.”
Duanmu Huai spoke and curled his lip. Previously, when Duanmu Huai had watched the battle between SABER and BERSERKER, he had wondered whether other Servants would join the battlefield as actively as they had during the fourth Holy Grail War. But the reality was that the others were excessively cautious, showing no inclination to reveal themselves. This somewhat irritated Duanmu Huai, as he didn't appreciate this sort of whack-mole strategy.
But now it seemed they had no choice.
The whereabouts of the first three could be confirmed: SABER's Master lived in a large mansion, ARCHER was naturally with the Tohsaka family, and as for Ilyasviel, although she had left with BERSERKER, Alice Phil knew there was a castle in the forest outside of Fuyuki City belonging to the Einzbern family, the residence of each generation's Einzbern Master. During the fourth war, she lived there, so it was likely Ilya was there now.
Sakura had rented a homestay to live in–well, it was a coincidence that the homestay she rented was the very place where Duanmu Huai had first settled her during the fourth Holy Grail War.
Next was simply to confirm the locations of the three Masters, and then they could begin their action.
In Duanmu Huai's view, the situation was actually quite simple; they would take out the other Servants, then Sakura would have a one-on-one duel with her sister, the victor gaining access to the Holy Grail and opening the great void, and then they could go in and check the situation to eliminate the Singularity.
Simple, convenient, and fast.
However, the most troublesome part was to pinpoint everyone's location first.
“Where's the next target's planned location?”
Duanmu Huai looked towards Medea, who nodded in response.
“At Ryudou Temple! A barrier that excludes Heroic Spirits has been set up there, and one can only enter through the main gate. Moreover, I can feel a substantial amount of magic power continuously flowing into it from Fuyuki City. Clearly, an evil magician is using this method to strengthen their Servant's strength!”
“Then let's start from there.”
Duanmu Huai made a decision and stood up.
“Prepare to depart!”
The Ryudou Temple was deathly silent in the deep of night, and as they made their way up the long flight of stairs, there was not even a whisper to be heard. And amidst the quiet, Medea's expression grew more sinister.
“This… is not an ordinary Magic Workshop; this is battlefield construction… MASTER, our opponent this time is very likely to be CASTER!”
“CASTER, huh? Are you confident?”
“Yes, I am confident. I am very familiar with this style of Temple manufacturing. It must be a magician of the same origin as me. Whoever it is, such evil doings are absolutely unforgivable!”
While speaking, Medea waved her Magic Wand with force.
As they spoke, the group had already reached the temple gate, and just as they entered it, a voice suddenly rang out.
“I really didn't expect someone to walk in so boldly. Seems like I've been underestimated…”
