The Clock Tower's End Has Come

Originally, the Clock Tower Magus, who had occupied the control room and held a number of people hostage, were completely overwhelmed by the constant stream of bad news.

"This is bad! Chaldea's power has exceeded expectations. Now— Bazett is confirmed captured, Cú Chulainn, Heracles, and Siegfried are confirmed dead, and Chaldea's Rayshift System has been activated again. Hishiri Adashino and many other department members have already entered the spirit particle tunnel and are less than thirty seconds away from arriving!"

Because of the difference in their physical abilities, Rovey did not use Imaginary Numbers Magic to bring them back. If he were to bring these Magus, whose physical abilities were no different from those of ordinary humans, into the Imaginary Number Space, it would be no different from leading them to suicide.

Fortunately, although he did not release A-Team, he did send the remaining dozens of Master candidates back, and the Chaldea Spirit Particle Frame was also vacated. He happened to know how to activate these facilities, so it was not a problem to send the employees who were caught up in the Singularity and the guys who were just captured by the Department of Law back in this way.

"What should we do? What should we do now? Should we cut off the connection to the frame?"

"Are you kidding me? Hishiri Adashino, and so many other masters are among them. If we cut them off, none of them will be able to come back! And even if we do cut them off, what then? Those Servant outside are practically at the door; there's no chance of winning now."

"Then what do we do?"

"Run! Use the access card to escape through the special passage, then detonate the bomb and destroy this place. The order from above is to destroy if you can't get it, so execute it immediately! As for Hishiri Adashino and Bazett, we'll just have to give up on them and blame Chaldea later."

"I understand—! No! Besides the frame, there's another special spiritual particle transmission reaction, and it's very close and completely stable. Something's coming!"

"What? It's too late! Speed things up!"

"Run!"

Sensing the approaching anomaly, the Magus didn't hesitate to use their access cards to close the control room door and shut down the spirit particle frame. After planting the bomb, they prepared to evacuate immediately, prioritizing their lives. However, at this moment, these Magus were already cursing the entire family of the high-ranking officials from the Department of Law who sent them.

This is hardly a third-rate observatory organization!

This is clearly a real hell!

Now they only regret not having thoroughly investigated the situation before they arrived, which led to things turning out this way.

However, just as they were about to make a swift escape, a pale blue light appeared in the direction they were trying to flee, followed by a series of sharp, cracking sounds, like glass shattering.

The Magus, who had intended to escape, froze in place.

What unfolded before their eyes was an utterly unbelievable scene, even a truly horrifying one...

The door that should have been the exit was suddenly covered by a beam of bright light, and the thick wall cracked open in an instant, breaking into irregular pieces, making it impossible to pinpoint the cause. However, at the end of the crack, there was a faint turbulent current that slowly magnified in everyone's eyes, transforming into a slender shape.

That looks like... a gun?!

To their utter surprise, at the last moment before they intended to detonate the place and escape, a crimson runic magic spear shot out from a vortex at lightning speed. Its speed was like a fleeting red streak, or an unstoppable arrow released from a bow, piercing through all the creatures in its path.

--call out!!

With a piercing sound, the crimson runic magic spear tore through the air, easily piercing through all targets in its path. Magus who tried to block its way were torn apart in the next instant. Anyone struck by the magic spear would have thorny, crimson branches bursting out uncontrollably from their flesh, falling piece by piece to the ground. In just a moment, the control room was transformed into a scene of hell on earth.

If Cú Chulainn were here to witness this scene, he would be utterly astonished, for it was precisely a use of the Gáe Bolg, and a pure Rune version at that.

Then the imaginary portal opened, and Rovey stepped out from it.

The Magus in the room were terrified because most of their companions had died instantly. Their bodies were covered in hot blood and began to uncontrollably expel foul-smelling filth. At this moment, they were almost on the verge of collapse.

Because this newly arrived, or rather, returning figure, instantly annihilated their group of Magus, elites from the Department of Law, in a single encounter. This absolute difference in their abilities was clearly an insurmountable chasm.

Upon seeing his face clearly, some Magus who vaguely knew some clues almost burst into tears.

Wasn't it said to be just a charlatan act? Wasn't he just a conman?

No one told them that this was a true ancestor and deity.

At this moment, they watched helplessly as this ancestor emerged from the Imaginary Numbers World and steadily approached them.

As for their masters, and the Sealing Designation Executor of the seal...

Indeed, as Rovey said, stopping the resistance would spare his life, which could be used as bait, but if he continued to resist, the heads he held in his hands would be the best proof.

He always keeps his word.

Moreover, he didn't let the Chaldea employees try out the spirit particle frame just now. Instead, he gave the slots to the Magus from the Department of Law to test it out. It's fortunate that these guys didn't blow up the spirit particle frame directly, otherwise those Department of Law masters that he stuffed in to explore would be buried today.

Now that he's back here, looking at these Magus who dared to do such a thing, his eyes gradually turn cold.

"You were just about to blow this place up, weren't you?" Rovey Wei asked.

The Magus were terrified and shook their heads frantically.

"No, no! You, you misheard us. We absolutely did not intend to harm you. Please let us go. We promise we won't do anything unnecessary..."

"Things shouldn't happen more than three times. I don't trust you anymore."

Rovey shook his head, then calmly issued his final ultimatum.

A dark arc of light streaked across the sky once more, causing blood to splatter again.

Thump thump thump...

In the blink of an eye, several more distorted human heads appeared in the control room.

Only the last Magus remained, trembling and on the verge of madness.

This was the last survivor that Rovey had deliberately spared. Rovey walked up to him, lowered his head, and calmly said, "I don't want to hear your explanations now. Summon your master and let me see who sent you. Whether it's Barthomeloi or someone else, this matter needs an explanation. Do you understand?"

"If you complete this honestly, I might take pity on you and spare your life."

"I... I will do it...!!"

Upon hearing this, the Magus suppressed the boundless fear within him and began nodding frantically, his body trembling.

"Yes, I look forward to your performance."

After receiving his reply, Rovey nodded, stood up, glanced at the scene around him that resembled a horror movie, raised his finger, and then lightly traced it across the corpses and blood in the room.

With a flash of golden light, in just a moment, the blood and filth in the room were gradually enveloped in the light, and finally decomposed like flower petals.

Even the foul smell and the bloody scene had completely disappeared. Everything that had happened was like a dream. If he hadn't been certain that his life was hanging by a thread, this Magus from the Department of Law would have really thought he was dreaming.

However, Rovey's gaze made him dare not slack off in the slightest, because he knew that if he did not complete the mission properly, he would really be killed.

At this moment, Rovey's figure had already disappeared from the room; he had come alone to the outskirts of the Chaldea region.

At this moment, many Heroic Spirit, staff members, Dr. Roman who rushed back because he was worried, Weber, and the Clock Tower Magus who came to curry favor were all here.

They seem to have had a disagreement and some arguments.

Because Chaldea's authority was usurped, the Department of Law officers seized control of the control room, closed Chaldea's access routes, and took some employees hostage. This made the Servant hesitant to act, hindering their ability to take action.

However, as a corrupted Servant, Black Lancer Artoria has no interest in caring about that.

This was the first time in all these years that she had been threatened by such insignificant beings, so she couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to open a hole in Chaldea and storm in to wipe out every single one of the Magus who had provoked her.

This dangerous idea was obviously stopped by Dr. Roman and Nitocris, after all, there were too many innocent employees involved.

Furthermore, Chaldea possesses a significant amount of Holy Grail magic power. If it were all detonated at once, Antarctica would likely be razed to the ground, resulting in another catastrophe for all humanity. This has led to the current stalemate.

Among the Heroic Spirit, some advocated for a fierce attack, while others suggested a long-term plan, and still others were pressuring the Department of Law in an attempt to curry favor with the Clock Tower Magus.

Everyone held their own opinions, and no one could convince the other.

However, all these troubles and hesitations were resolved in the next moment.

Because that person came back.

Click!

The sound of the door opening rang out.

Chaldea's access was restored, and Rovey walked out, smiling as he told them that everything was resolved.

Seeing Rovey come out, Dr. Roman secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After learning that Ritsuka, Da Vinci, and everyone else were alright, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.

However, although Rovey's return was timely, some Magus in the Department of Law completely disregarded the lives of Chaldea staff during the invasion. While cleaning up, Rovey encountered some corpses wearing Chaldea uniforms.

This news also made Roman clench his fists.

Many Heroic Spirit also fell silent.

They are Servant, symbols of protection, and now that so many Servant have gathered here, this has happened, and they feel an indescribable sense of guilt.

But more than anything, there was anger.

No one expected that they would use Chaldea's access cards to hack into the city and kill so many staff members. They couldn't let this go, and even Artoria and the Lion King directly suggested leading an army to attack the Clock Tower to seek justice.

Rameses II was very much in favor of this, and even prepared to smash his own grave on the Clock Tower.

However, their actions were stopped by Rovey.

This secretly relieved the Clock Tower Magus from other factions present.

But this doesn't mean Rovey is merciful. Rather, it's because pointless venting is meaningless. Just now, Rovey learned everything from the remaining guys. It really wasn't Barthomeloi's doing. She's not that stupid. The one who did this was just an idiot he'd never heard of before.

Now that the truth has come to light, he needs to deal with the mastermind behind it all.

First were the Department of Law members, and then several other accomplices.

As he said, this matter won't be easily resolved.

Even if it wasn't Barthomeloi who took the lead, as the Lord of the Department of Law, she still bears some responsibility for this matter.

But now, he first needs to tear that idiot to pieces, and then teach the Department of Law, and even the Clock Tower, a profound lesson.

After telling Artoria and the others about his goal, Rovey disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, inside the Clock Tower at this very moment.

The group of Lord, still in a meeting, were unaware that something terrifying was approaching them.

Chapter 334 The Clock Tower's Doomsday Has Arrived

The weather was sunny and breezy.

Compared to Antarctica, where strong winds and heavy snow are blowing, the atmosphere at the Clock Tower today remains as peaceful as ever.

Using the word "peace" to describe it is clearly superfluous.

After all, what could possibly disturb the stability of the Clock Tower, a renowned magical Holy Land in Western Europe?

If you were to actually ask that question, the assembled Lord would undoubtedly answer in unison.

Yes, I have it, brother.

There are not only reasons like this, but there are many.

Especially in the Department of Modern Magecraft, the place is now deserted, with both lecturers and students practically wishing they had extra legs to avoid being affected.

Because after Weber realized that the Department of Law had done something stupid, he had already anticipated that something big would happen. So, before rushing to the scene at Chaldea, he used the communicator to transmit his orders back to the Department of Modern Magecraft.

Whoever you are—his student, his assistant, or anyone with whom he has a past relationship—leave the Clock Tower now, immediately!

No, it's best to leave London.

The farther away from there the better, this time it's not a joke.

Originally, some Magus Weber belonged to the modern Magus faction but still refused to submit to him, despite their humble origins and lowly bloodline, only offered sarcastic remarks, completely unable to understand what had gotten into this new El-Melloi II.

Just as they were about to ask, Weber scolded them back and then issued a mandatory order in the name of the Lord, which startled all the Magus. Although they didn't know what had happened, it was not hard to guess from the other party's behavior that something big must have happened.

After all, this was the first time Weber had spoken to them in such a tone and with such authority since becoming Lord, and in his eyes, they saw only anxiety and a trace of despair.

Other factions were also involved in this incident.

Having witnessed that scene at the entrance of Chaldea, almost all the Magus realized that things were in grave danger, but no one could stop it. So they all used Chaldea's communication devices to send emails to different factions in the Clock Tower, telling them to leave the Clock Tower immediately, to run as far away as possible, and not to pay any attention to the Department of Law. Someone had to pay the price for this.

Initially, the Lord were puzzled when they received the email, wondering if it was some kind of silly prank. However, after confirming that the sender was indeed the Magus they had sent out, and that the letter contained coded language from their respective disciplines, the expressions of these Lords and important figures suddenly changed.

Although they couldn't figure out what was going on, they still took precautions, prepared for the worst, and hid in the Magic Workshop they had set up in the Clock Tower —a safe house—waiting for things to happen.

Although the Department of Law was not allowed to be notified, with so many people involved, some information was bound to leak out.

However, the Magus from the Department of Law didn't take such alarmist talk seriously, dismissing it as just another student's prank and laughing it off.

After all, today is the day Barthomeloi returns, and they must go out to greet him. How could they possibly neglect their king because of such rumors?

However, deep within the Department of Law, directly beneath the British Museum, in an area that even detectors struggle to reach, a pale green magic circle rose in the darkness, and then a tall, familiar figure slowly emerged from it.

After leaving Chaldea, Rovey spent some time traveling to London before immediately heading to his next destination.

According to the information gathered by those Magus from the Department of Law, whether it was Bazett, Hishiri Adashino, or the other Magus, they were all designated Executor for the Sealing Designation, and their deployment was only at the behest of their superiors.

With Barthomeloi absent, they were now under the command of other high-ranking members of the Department of Law. After all, they weren't just looking for trouble with Chaldea. And the one in charge this time was none other than the teacher of the Mystic Eyes Eye examiner who had been driven mad by them last time.

As for where he is?

Without exception, they ended up in the Department of Law.

After all, compared to other factions, they knew more about the situation in Chaldea. Apart from a few who surrendered, Magus in the Department of Law would be instantly killed if they encountered Rovey in person. Forget about passing on messages, even surviving was a luxury.

Therefore, no one in the Department of Law knew that their painstakingly built foundation, the Magus they had carefully trained, and the Sealing Designation Executor for sealing had all suffered a major loss in Antarctica. The Department of Law's personnel had been severely weakened by the attack by Rovey, and even with Barthomeloi in charge, it was bound to suffer a heavy blow.

However, such minor incidents were not enough to quell Rovey Wei's anger.
