"That... Master, I have some bad news to tell you. I... I'm lost..." Charlotte stopped in front and said somewhat sheepishly.
"Ah? Lost? Where are we then?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was still thinking about finding other Chaldean members, and now they were lost. It was indeed a bad start.
"I only know the name of this island is Hestia, the name of the Olympian gods. I only met Master because I was lost..."
Li Xing drew out the Tai'a Sword and pointed forward: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being lost, is it? You were chased to the seaside by these monsters, weren't you?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Charlotte then saw some monsters darting out of the forest ahead. They didn't look like creatures that could be communicated with normally.
Charlotte said sheepishly, "That's indeed the case..."
"Chasing the Sun! Moon Leap! Star Chase!"
Li Xing stopped talking nonsense and dismantled the Tai'a Sword into three, controlling them simultaneously. They shot towards the monsters ahead, extinguishing three monsters in the blink of an eye. However, other monsters still emerged from the forest.
Seeing this, Charlotte took out her dagger and engaged the monsters, even though her strength was negligible.
"Huh? It seems my strength has gotten a bit stronger?" Charlotte exclaimed in surprise after killing a monster. She had been chased by monsters before, but now she could even counter-kill them. Was this what it felt like to have a Master?
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
The number of monsters was simply too great. Li Xing decided to trap them with wood release, but the monsters' power was different from humans. They destroyed the wood release with a single gesture.
"We're surrounded!" Charlotte had retreated to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, holding her dagger and confronting the monsters.
"Hiss... hiss..."
A hissing sound came. Charlotte instinctively turned her head to look, but Li Xing quickly covered her eyes with one hand, "Don't look."
"What happened? Why can't I look?" Charlotte was completely bewildered, only hearing the sound of water hitting the ground.
Fujimaru Ritsuka said with an embarrassed tone, "Uh... because a muscular guy is relieving himself..."
"Oh? What's wrong? What's wrong? Did I wet anyone? Sorry, sorry, I'll get down now." Orion said, jumping down from a tree and landing precisely in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Li Xing pointed at the monsters ahead, "They got wet by you, you should apologize to them..."
Orion looked at the foul-smelling monsters in front of him wanting to approach, and let out a loud roar. He then used a wooden stick to kill the monsters.
"Th-that's too unreasonable." Fujimaru Ritsuka was also stunned. The man urinated on them and then killed them.
After dealing with the monsters, Fujimaru Ritsuka introduced himself again. Orion also reported his name. Upon learning that the muscular man in front of him was the bear from the singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka was shocked by the contrast.
"Uh, you're not from Atlantis, are you? You're here to fix the lostbelt, aren't you? How much do you know about Atlantis?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head, "I only know it's the largest lostbelt..."
Li Xing shook his head, "Sometimes I really admire you guys. You came here without knowing anything. Atlantis's ley lines have already been destroyed, and you can't even summon Servants. You can only try your luck to encounter a lone Servant, like Orion."
"Huh? You want me to join? Hmm... alright, I'll stand on your side for now!" Orion then completed the contract with Fujimaru Ritsuka. This meant Fujimaru Ritsuka was now responsible for the magic supply of four Servants. Fortunately, Li Xing didn't need Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic, otherwise, Li Xing alone could drain Fujimaru Ritsuka dry.
Next, Orion would lead the three to the village, but it would take a night to reach it. With Fujimaru Ritsuka, a mortal, everyone had to stop and rest.
As soon as Fujimaru Ritsuka fell asleep, Orion was chatting with Charlotte, while Li Xing sat on a tree, studying this lostbelt.
"A lostbelt is formed when human history goes in the wrong direction at a certain node, like a tree branch. It was originally a straight line, but it grew other branches in different directions. It's similar to a singularity, both are divine eras, except here there is no heaven and no underworld." Li Xing observed the differences of this lostbelt through the Heavenly Dao. Next, he just needed to adapt to the magic of the divine era.
"There's a magical ritual in the depths of the starry sky, comparable to Goetia's incineration of human history. It's the ritual for the Alien God's descent. Do you want to take a look, Star?"
Li Xing shook his head. It was better to follow Fujimaru Ritsuka for now. If he went to Olympus now, he might not survive. Without a Grand Servant Spirit Base, without a Divine Spirit Base, he was too weak.
"However, I seem to have gained an Anti-Evil Noble Phantasm, formed by the Tai'a Sword given to me by Ying Zheng?" A data panel appeared before Li Xing. Apart from the Class and Noble Phantasm, everything else remained unchanged.
"Not bad, not bad, an Anti-Evil Noble Phantasm. Evil is defined by me, so doesn't that mean I can attack anyone I want? Isn't this a special attack against all beings?" Li Xing felt very pleased. This Noble Phantasm would at least be enough to deal with small fries here.
Suddenly, Li Xing saw a shadow in the forest, but Orion yelled at it, scaring it away. Li Xing immediately remembered, it was the moon goddess Artemis, Orion's lover. Li Xing couldn't be bothered to interfere in other people's family affairs and leaned against the tree trunk to fall asleep.
...
The next morning, Fujimaru Ritsuka was woken up by FuFuh. After eating some food provided by Orion, they proceeded towards the village.
Upon seeing the village, Orion encountered a villager. The villager was surprised to see Orion return so early from hunting. However, upon seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others behind him, the villager wasn't surprised anymore. A group of people had been rescued yesterday as well.
Hearing about a group of injured people, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately thought of the other members of Chaldea and rushed to the tavern where the injured were with Orion.
...
Inside the tavern.
Mash Kyrielight walked out wearing a set of armor, seemingly not seriously injured.
"Mash!"
"Senpai? Senpai!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash ran towards each other and embraced. This made Orion incredibly envious.
"Senpai, I'm so glad you're alright!" Mash was on the verge of tears. Although she had observed that Fujimaru Ritsuka's life signs were not in danger, he could have been captured by the enemy. It was great to see him again now.
"Mash, I'm happy you've reunited with Ritsuka, but you can't ignore me!" Li Xing said from behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Mash then noticed the people behind Fujimaru Ritsuka. She didn't recognize two of them, but she recognized Li Xing.
"Ah? Mr. Li Xing! You're in this lostbelt too! That's great. With Mr. Li Xing's help, our chances of winning have increased."
At this moment, the other members of Chaldea also walked out: Da Vinci, Holmes, and a chubby new director.
"Li Xing-kun, nice to meet you. I'm Da Vinci. I'm not the same Da Vinci you know."
Li Xing looked at the short Da Vinci in front of him, feeling no emotional fluctuation. It was as expected. It was just a machine that inherited Da Vinci's memories. Dr. Roman was no longer here.
Holmes was a Servant of Chaldea. After a simple greeting, Li Xing, who knew Holmes's identity and disliked riddles, didn't talk much with him.
"Li Xing? Is that the god encountered in the seventh singularity? That's great. We finally have a god on our side, so we don't have to fear Caenis anymore." The new director's face brightened. Finally, they had a powerful Servant.
"New Director, Goredolf, if you have that kind of mindset, you'll die. Although I am a god, I am not a powerful god when summoned."
Hearing Li Xing's words, Goredolf's expression became tense again. This was too unlucky. Just when there was some hope, it was gone immediately.
(Fifth Lostbelt, Atlantis, Olympus. There is no anime. Those who have played the game should know. Those who haven't might not understand, but I don't plan to write too much. I'll finish it quickly.)
