"King Arthur should be careful about that black stuff," Waver said at this time, "It's not good."
"Brother, do you know what that is?" Reines asked curiously.
"Of course, getting touched by that stuff is not a good thing," Waver said.
"Imaginary space?" Alexander the Great scratched his chin and said.
Matou Sakura also stepped forward and summoned a pile of the same black material.
"This is matter from imaginary space. I usually take it out to store things," Matou Sakura said, picking up a stone and wrapping the black material around it. "See, this way the stone is trapped in imaginary space."
King Arthur frowned after seeing this.
"Are you saying I could be trapped in imaginary space?" King Arthur looked at Matou Sakura.
"I'm just saying what I know. I don't know if King Arthur, as a Servant, can be trapped," Matou Sakura shook her head, then turned to look at Tohsaka Rin. "Sister, you should be able to undo that black stuff, right?"
"Sakura, isn't it easier for you to undo that black stuff than for me?" Tohsaka Rin muttered, but her hands didn't stop moving.
Tohsaka Rin casually drew a pattern, then chanted a few spells, and the black material on King Arthur was all sucked out.
"Meddling!" The Skeleton King over there said coldly, after seeing this, and then waved the black Holy Lance in his hand.
"Don't even think about it!" King Arthur immediately waved Holy Sword, and golden light instantly released from Holy Sword.
At the same time, the black Holy Lance also emitted sharp black spear lights, colliding with the golden Holy Sword light.
The outcome was decided in an instant.
The black spear light was directly swallowed by the golden sword light, and the Skeleton King was instantly submerged.
However, King Arthur's expression changed, and he immediately stopped his attack.
The Skeleton King, who was originally swallowed by the golden sword light, was unharmed, but countless black auras were wrapping around the Skeleton King at this time.
These black auras looked the same as the black imaginary space matter on King Arthur before, but these black auras were directly absorbed by the Skeleton King.
At this moment, Tia noticed that the black aura on the Skeleton King carried the magical energy of living people, and her expression changed instantly, and then she frowned.
Villagers?
Tia muttered silently in her heart.
The villagers were trapped in imaginary space, which was somewhat similar to what Logos React had done, but could those living villagers really stay in imaginary space for a long time? Would there be any problems?
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for those villagers to come out alive," Lancelot said, "According to Master's memory, the story in The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II was that the villagers were trapped by Logos React in his internal space and sealed, but it didn't endanger their lives. In the end, all the villagers came out alive. But here, it's hard to say who did it."
Lancelot said to Tia in her heart, then looked at Waver.
"Waver, can't you really tell us what you know?" Lancelot felt it was necessary to make Waver speak.
"This... I can only say that it has something to do with that other person," Waver said, "Ryougi Shiki of the Root once mentioned a sentence: there is no record of Tia's future in the Root, which means that Tia is a person from outside the Root, but since when, another similar existence has appeared. According to my investigation, that person came to Chaldea and provided the equipment to Chaldea that stripped the divine power of the giant octopus from Katsushika Hokusai's body; that person came to this Lostbelt and let Aozaki Touko protect Ryougi Shiki; that person turned the Shiki Nanaya Knife and the Gáe Bolg into Tia's demon-slaying short sword and demon-slaying spear; that person has done many other things, but who that person is, none of us know. I don't know, BB doesn't know, Senji Muramasa doesn't know either."
"A person from outside the Root, does that mean other people from parallel worlds?" Aozaki Touko asked curiously from the side.
"No, the Root Vortex records all the records of parallel worlds, and everything that happens in any parallel world is recorded in the Root Vortex, whether it is the past or the future. However, in the Root Vortex, there is only Tia's past record, and that is because Tia herself experienced things that were recorded by the Root Vortex, but Tia's future record is completely blank, and there is no record of Tia's future in any parallel world. And there is another such existence, and even the Root Vortex doesn't know that person's identity," Waver continued to explain to everyone.
"Wait, Waver, do you mean you went to see Miss Ryougi Shiki yourself?" Lancelot suddenly reacted at this time.
"Yes, of course I went to see Ryougi Shiki. After all, she is the incarnation of the Root, all-knowing and all-powerful, a power that can fulfill any wish and is even stronger than Holy Grail," Waver nodded.
"The Root, I never thought I could see the Root with my own eyes, the true end of the world," Alexander the Great said at this time.
Tia chuckled lightly in her heart.
That's right, for Alexander the Great's pursuit of the end of the world, Inside the Root is really the end of the world. It's just a pity that inside the Root, at the end of the world, there's boundless largeness.
At this moment, the completely recovered Skeleton King launched another attack on King Arthur.
King Arthur had been distracted by listening to everyone's conversation, and her attention was drawn to the content of the conversation. At this time, with the Skeleton King's attack, King Arthur was also startled and immediately launched a light ray subconsciously, but the next second King Arthur remembered the villagers and immediately stopped the attack.
At this moment, a shield appeared in front of King Arthur, and the shield stood directly in front of King Arthur out of thin air, blocking the Skeleton King's attack.
At the same time, another figure also appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.
Tia looked carefully, and this person had the exact same appearance as King Arthur, but her hair was white, and she was wearing a hooded cloak.
Tia thought slightly, guessing that the person who suddenly appeared out of thin air was probably Gray.
Sure enough, Waver spoke at this time.
"Gray, how is it?" Waver asked.
"Master, fortunately with the help of King Arthur, I rescued them all," Gray said. At the same time, Gray turned the huge scythe in her hand into another door, and then many people began to walk out of the door one after another.
Tia didn't recognize any of these people, but looking at their appearance, Tia could confirm that these people were the villagers.
At this time, after these villagers came out from inside, they no longer desperately worshiped this Skeleton King as in Tia's memory, but ran out as fast as they could, lining up one by one.
