Same Hair-Raising Feeling

## Chapter 49: The Same Unease

The next day.

The time for the operation arrived silently.

When Luo Zhen and Mashu returned to the chapel, Olga Marie was already awake.

"Looks like you're prepared. Can't underestimate a newbie, huh?"

Saying this, Caster also appeared in a swirl of misty, azure light particles, leaning its wooden staff against its shoulder, its face still carrying its usual fearless smile.

Olga Marie was startled by Caster's sudden appearance, and immediately lashed out in anger.

"If you're nearby, don't dematerialize! Are you trying to scare me to death!?"

As mentioned before, Servants are essentially spirits, but of a higher order than ordinary spirits, comparable to elementals.

As such, Servants can naturally revert to their spiritual form, making them invisible to the naked eye.

This is what's known as dematerialization.

When confronting Archer, the reason it disappeared in a burst of light particles upon leaving was also due to this characteristic of Servants, reverting to its spiritual state to conceal its presence, not truly vanishing.

Evidently, Caster had remained in the chapel in its dematerialized state while everyone rested, without informing Olga Marie, causing her to be startled and lash out.

Caster simply shrugged in response.

"While Servants don't need to rest, any life activity consumes magical energy. While you were resting, I naturally had to restore my condition to its peak."

For this reason, Caster remained dematerialized, recovering its stamina and magical energy, until now.

"What a convenient skill."

Mashu blurted out, not knowing if it was out of envy or practicality.

Servants can dematerialize to reduce magical energy consumption and even use it for recovery, but as a Pseudo-Servant with a real body, Mashu cannot do this.

Of course, because she has a physical body, Mashu doesn't need to consume magical energy for life activities, so even if she can't dematerialize, it doesn't have much of an impact.

Watching this group, Luo Zhen, who was teasing Fufu on his shoulder, finally turned his head.

"My magical energy has recovered quite a bit too. Even if it's not at 100%, it's at least 80 or 90%."

This statement served only one purpose.

To announce to everyone.

"It's time to head to Saber's location."

Luo Zhen made a declaration of war.

This caused Mashu and Olga Marie to tense up simultaneously.

"Then, please allow me to accompany you," Mashu said to Luo Zhen. "Although I'm still immature, I will do my best to protect my Master."

As she spoke, Mashu's eyes were unusually determined.

"...I can't help it," Olga Marie sighed. "It's too late to say I don't want to go to such a place. Since Chaldea is still unreachable, I'll go with you."

In other words, Olga Marie was preparing to venture into dangerous territory.

"I don't mind," Caster said, looking Olga Marie up and down, speaking very directly. "But are you sure you're okay? You don't have the qualifications of a Master, do you? You'll just be watching, won't you?"

In the face of battles between top-tier Servants, a mere human Magus couldn't possibly help.

In that case, instead of venturing into dangerous territory, it would be safer to stay here and wait for the outcome.

However, Olga Marie didn't compromise.

"How can I just let things develop like this?" Olga Marie bit her fingernails, muttering, "If we can't achieve results, Chaldea is as good as finished."

You see, for this Foundation of Human Order, Chaldea had not only recruited from general society, but also from the Mage's Association, bringing in 38 Master candidates from prestigious families to participate in this operation.

Now, those 38 Master candidates were almost certainly dead or missing, and the Mage's Association would definitely not let it go. If the operation failed again, Olga Marie's responsibility would be infinitely magnified by the Mage's Association, and it was not impossible for her to be removed from her position.

In addition, if the Foundation of Human Order failed, humanity would have no future. With Olga Marie's meddlesome personality, she naturally couldn't sit still.

This made Luo Zhen look at Olga Marie with slight admiration.

"I didn't expect you to be so responsible."

Luo Zhen said with a sneer.

"It's none of your business!"

Olga Marie immediately glared back.

Seeing that these two rivals were about to start arguing, Mashu quickly spoke up.

"Then, where exactly is Saber hiding?"

If they wanted to deal with Saber, they naturally had to find its hiding place.

"Well..."

Caster was about to answer, but Luo Zhen snatched away the right to reply.

"If I'm not mistaken, Saber should be there, right?"

Luo Zhen interrupted Caster with that statement, pointing in a certain direction.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction Luo Zhen was pointing.

And then, they saw it.

The direction Luo Zhen pointed was a mountain.

A deep mountain with a temple nestled within, exuding an aura of antiquity and vicissitudes.

"Oh?" Caster said with a hint of surprise, "How can you be so sure Saber is there?"

"It's simple." Luo Zhen turned his head, gazing at the deep mountain.

The same deep mountain he had glanced at once before, when he and Olga Marie had just reunited.

Then, Luo Zhen spoke.

"Ever since the Spiritron Transfer to this town and the subsequent attack by Archer, I've been feeling a faint, chilling sensation coming from that mountain."

Luo Zhen didn't know why he had such a feeling.

However, Luo Zhen was certain.

"That feeling is exactly the same as the one Professor Leff gives me."

Luo Zhen didn't say those words out loud.

But from the moment he had that feeling and understood it, Luo Zhen had roughly guessed some of the truth about the Singularity. It wasn't until he learned about the Singularity's emergence and subsequent events from Caster that Luo Zhen confirmed his guess.

In light of this...

"I believe Saber, who wields the Holy Grail that caused this Singularity, is in that mountain, most likely." Luo Zhen asserted, "As long as we go to that mountain, the final act of this Holy Grail War will begin."

This assertion startled Mashu and Olga Marie, while also causing Caster's lips to curl up.

"It seems you're not only talented and intelligent, but also possess keen intuition and insight."

Caster first praised him, then nodded in affirmation.

"That's right, Saber is in that mountain, and the ritual magic circle for the Holy Grail War is also in a huge cavern within that mountain."

In other words, that mountain was the source from which the Holy Grail War ritual was initiated.

"Then let's set off."

Luo Zhen gave this instruction, then looked at the mountain again.

Under the dark sky, the deep mountain, exuding an aura of vicissitudes, appeared extremely gloomy.

As if it were a beast opening its mouth, ready to seize its prey.
