Chaldea covered an enormous area, enough to support several thousand people living there at once. For the moment, only those inconsequential, strange soldiers remained in the Control Room; the few people in charge were not here.
Lawrence was the first to see the image of Chaldea's exterior through the monitors.
A noblewoman who looked like a princess—or even a queen.
A masked male swordsman holding a red beam sword.
And an AI mechanical life-form floating in midair, possessing self-awareness.
Along with Koyanskaya, Jefferson Hyde—whom Ritsuka and Mash had confirmed were connected to those soldiers—and Kirei Kotomine, who clearly knew about this attack and invasion.
There were five hostile individuals in total, along with an uncountable number of soldiers.
Goredolf Musik, whom the former Chaldea group had constantly criticized behind his back, was fundamentally a victim as well—he had clearly been deceived by Jefferson Hyde, Koyanskaya, and Kirei Kotomine.
"...Please rest in peace."
With a sorrowful expression, Lawrence closed Dustin's eyes in the Control Room. Then she condensed gemstones around his body, encasing the corpse within them.
"Lawrence, let's go."
Leonardo da Vinci's face had gone somewhat pale.
She was not contracted to Fujimaru Ritsuka, but to Chaldea itself. Her source of magical energy was Chaldea, and now Chaldea had fallen into an unprecedented state of paralysis. Even when they had been in the Temple of Time, Chaldea had never been paralyzed to this extent.
After all, Chaldea itself had not been attacked from within back then. The systems Lawrence had modified for Chaldea—the power and magical energy collection systems—had continued functioning normally. Now, those systems had stopped running, so Chaldea had naturally been left completely paralyzed.
As a result, Leonardo da Vinci's condition was exceptionally poor as well.
"Mm."
Lawrence nodded, rose to her feet, and followed the others ahead.
