Chapter 2326: Spiritual Base Portrait, Spiritual Base Shadow
"Ritsuka!"
The inner door of the workshop was opened, and Lawrence and Leonardo da Vinci, who were blocking the entrance to the workshop with something, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Lawrence, kiss Da Vinci, that's great...!"
I didn't feel much about the contract before, but now that I finally saw him again, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally felt at ease.
"You're not injured, ah——Ma Xiu!"
Lawrence first grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder and checked, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Fujimaru Ritsuka, he just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mashu, who looked a little exhausted, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"...Did Mashu release the spirit base and fight?"
Da Vinci looked at Matthew's condition and sighed lightly.
In this situation, she couldn't say anything.
If Mash hadn't fought, Fujimaru Ritsuka might have died by now.
The current situation... can only be said to be helpless.
"...Use this first, at least it will make you feel better."
Lawrence touched Matthew's hair with some distress, sighed softly, raised his hand, and a bottle of something similar to a gem potion appeared in Lawrence's hand.
Matthew nodded and did not ask what the function of this bottle of potion was. He just unscrewed the cap and drank it.
After drinking it, I really felt better... At least Mashu's dizzy feeling was much better, and he also felt that his strength was a little stronger.
"This is a regular gem potion. Please bring it with you... The situation is completely out of our control now. I'm really sorry for not being able to protect you by your side."
Lawrence walked to Da Vinci's side with a sad expression on his face.
When the control room was breached, the two of them were also fighting hard, but the number of enemies was too many. Several staff members died the moment the control room was breached... watching their former companions die.
The feeling of being in front of yourself...
Lawrence wanted to release his Noble Phantasm to protect others, but the Valkyries in white didn't give Lawrence the chance to release the Noble Phantasm, and attacked crazily - Lawrence and Leonardo da Vinci were both just Casters after all.
His combat power is not strong, and when those things that are comparable in strength to the servants attack him, he is completely unprepared.
In the situation of fighting and retreating, the last two riding servants could only find a hiding place, and then returned to the workshop through the hidden passage, choosing a conservative...it could even be said to be a passive strategy, waiting for Fujimaru to stand up.
Arrival of incense.
"It's okay... I can still fight, at least to ensure everyone's safety."
Matthew shook his head stubbornly.
"...Although I really don't want to admit it, it seems to be the case now."
Da Vinci glanced at Lawrence helplessly and found that the other party also had his head lowered, looking like he was remorseful.
"In short, now that three servants have been gathered, the enemy has dispersed from the state of gathering and attacking. We have to rush to the basement to join Holmes. By the way, Ritsuka, a battle may break out next.
In this case - can you please carry this?"
Da Vinci pushed some equipment in the room - he planned to retreat from this place anyway, so there was no need to continue using the workshop. Da Vinci who should have been moved had already moved away and now stays here.
It's just some insignificant things.
She pulled out a... suitcase from the bottom of the facility.
It's the suitcase I saw before.
"This is that, a treasure of the earth?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka took the suitcase, which felt a bit heavy, with some curiosity.
"This is... a spiritual portrait."
"All the information on the spiritual bases of the servants who have signed a contract with you and have become friends with you is in this small box."
Lawrence's hands were still dragging the bottom of the box, his eyes serious.
The contents of this box are extremely valuable treasures to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Chaldea...but this thing must never be given to the group of people outside.
"......I see."
After knowing what this box was, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression became serious.
This is something she must never forget or throw away along the way.
If she gained something particularly precious during this arduous journey, it would be what Lawrence calls "bonding."
Befriended Matthew.
Get to know Lawrence.
Getting to know Leonardo da Vinci.
Befriended Romani Achiman.
Befriended countless heroic spirits and followers who were once comrades-in-arms and enemies.
This kind of fate is the most priceless treasure, and it is more precious to Fujimaru Ritsuka than the entire Chaldea.
"With this, you can continue to summon servants with Mash, and there is also a fighting method called [Shadow of Spirit Base]... You need to explore this by yourself later."
Da Vinci smiled and said to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"After all, the current situation in Chaldea means that there is absolutely no way to provide this thing with enough magic power and electricity... Let's find a way later!"
"So, do you understand what we are going to do now?"
"Um."
Fujimaru Ritsuka held the box and nodded.
"There is definitely no way to avoid fighting on the way to the basement... Chaldea's current state is a bit strange. Not only does the original barrier surrounding Chaldea seem to have failed, but even
Chaldea itself appears to have suffered some degree of damage.”
"It is inevitable to cross the control room. After all, it is the closest road from our side... But we still need to be vigilant about the situation in Chaldeas."
Lawrence carefully analyzed the current situation.
"Once that thing is damaged, it cannot be repaired, so be careful."
"We observed the route when we first came here. We should be able to move quickly."
Matthew took the initiative and said.
"We have just conducted a simple analysis of the enemies outside. There are roughly three types of enemies."
Clapping his fingers, Mashu frowned and recalled.
"White clothes, female soldier called [Valkyrie]."
"Black-covered, male soldier known as [Kill Hunter]."
"There are also [puppet soldiers] that are completely mechanical and seem to be controlled by some kind of advanced AI."
"In addition, Jefferson Hyde and Goyanskaya are from their side, and they are the culprits of the invasion of Chaldea."
Fujimaru Ritsuka took up Mashu's words, with anger and hatred in his eyes.
Regardless of the reason, the other party invaded Chaldea and caused massacres in Chaldea. This is an undisputed fact...
Although there is no way to fight head-on now, if there is a chance in the future...
