Therefore, just like the first ti he arrived in this world, Reiger found himself once again in the underground stone prison of Tintagel.
After confirming his current situation, Reiger instinctively turned his head to look beside him.
There, he saw a stone cell.
Recalling the scene when he first arrived in this world, Reiger faintly imagined a rural fairy girl squatting in the corner of the cell, hugging her knees and timidly casting a look towards him.
Of course, this was rely an illusion.
Now, in the stone cell, there wasn’t a single fairy, not even a bug.
"I wonder how she is doing now..."
Thinking of that sowhat clumsy and extrely insecure fairy girl, Reiger felt a slight worry.
"Before I left this world, I underwent a journey in the past era lasting about a month."
"According to the dinsional cube’s instructions, under such circumstances, the ti I experience during dinsional travel will not be fixed but will continue to elapse."
"Thus, when I conduct the designated dinsional travel of this world, choosing to return to the location and ti of my first arrival, this era will still have the sa ti elapse."
When choosing to return to the era he first arrived in, the ti Reiger spent in the past era would still be counted, as this was clearly recorded in the dinsional cube’s instructions.
Thanks to this, however long Reiger stayed in the fairy calendar year 400, when he returns to the queen calendar year 2017, an equal amount of ti will have passed.
He stayed in the fairy calendar year 400 for a month, and accordingly, a month would also have passed in the queen calendar year 2017.
Reiger now didn’t return to the ti he left this era, but instead returned to more than a month after he was sent to the past by the [Water Mirror].
"This point in ti..."
Reiger’s gaze flickered slightly and then he activated a teleportation spell, leaving the dungeon.
...
"Shua!"
High above the Fairy Country, approximately several hundred ters above Tintagel Village, Reiger’s figure suddenly appeared.
Upon his ergence, Reiger imdiately noticed sothing amiss.
Firstly, within his field of vision, he hardly saw any fairy figures, let alone humans.
The ground was shrouded in gray, with many sinister shapes emitting a catastrophe aura faintly wriggling within.
"So many Morses?"
Reiger instantly recognized the true form of those shadows.
They were the unknown creatures referred to as "catastrophe" — Morses.
"Such a dense curse aura..."
Reiger frowned deeply.
As soone who had mastered the curse system, Reiger was especially sensitive to the aura of curses at present.
Thus, Reiger easily detected the pervasive curse aura throughout the entire Fairy Country.
The curse aura here was exceptionally dense, resembling the invisible abyssal aura, akin to unseen black energy, spreading across the land of the Fairy Country.
"Is ti running out?"
Reiger’s frown grew deeper.
He hadn’t forgotten, in the original work, from when Chaldea first reached the Fairy Country’s Lostbelt to the abnormal influences it had on the Pan-Human History, leading to the final collapse phenonon, there were roughly two months in between.
And in the previous dinsional travel, Reiger could only stay in this world for 90 days, a total of three months.
During these three months, half were spent in the queen calendar year 2017, and the other half in the fairy calendar year 400.
When Reiger was sent to the fairy calendar year 400 by the [Water Mirror], Chaldea had only been in the Fairy Country’s Lostbelt for a few days.
Now more than a month has passed, although it hasn’t reached the final two-month deadline, it is already nearing.
"Soon, the collapse phenonon caused by the Fairy Country’s Lostbelt will affect the Pan-Human History, leading to its destruction."
"To prevent this situation, Chaldea must have undergone many adventures and actions just like in the original work over the past month."
"Now, the final showdown between Chaldea and this Lostbelt’s king — Morgan, should soon occur."
If according to the original work’s developnt, before the collapse of the Pan-Human History, the Fairy Country’s Lostbelt will first be destroyed.
Naturally, Morgan will also die.
"...is it already not a ti for wasting ti?"
Originally intending to find Altoria and possibly et Chaldea who might be with her, Reiger imdiately changed his mind.
"[Portal]."
The semicircular dark door opened in mid-air, and Reiger stepped into it without hesitation.
The teleportation destination was singular.
The location of Queen Morgan — Calot.
...
Calot, Jade Throne Hall.
The Jade Throne Hall, once damaged due to the reckless actions of Reiger and Altoria, now seed completely repaired after more than a month.
It was as if it had never experienced destruction, the Jade Throne Hall remained opulent, magnificently extravagant, appearing imnsely luxurious, and extensively spacious.
Only, within this vast and luxurious Jade Throne Hall, it seed like there had always been only a solitary king staying here, apart from the figure sitting on the throne, existing here day in and day out as if there was no one else.
The queen donning a pitch-black crown sat on the throne with her eyes closed, with the walls removed, directly revealing the scenery outside Calot.
From this vantage point, one could first see that deep, dark, bottomless seeming void.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the queen opened her eyes.
Those eyes although beautiful, were usually as cold as winter, filled with indifference, with no trace of emotion or feeling to be seen.
These very eyes caused countless fairies to tremble in fear, unknown how many fairies were intimidated.
But today, within those cold and indifferent eyes akin to winter, appeared a unique hue undetectable by others.
As if sensing sothing, the queen stood up, departing from the throne she would never leave lightly, and moved to the end of the Jade Throne Hall.
Standing at the edge of the hall where one would fall with a single step, Queen Morgan lifted her gaze, looking upwards at the upper boundary of the void.
There, unbeknownst to her, appeared a figure that subtly stirred her icy heart.
He stood in the air, overseeing this side with an imnse presence.
She stood firm against the wind, gazing up at the high figure.
Their gazes collided in mid-air, despite being separated by quite a distance, they could still clearly see each other’s visage.
In that instant of eye contact, it was as if quietly speaking the ti spanning from fairy calendar year 400 to queen calendar year 2017, making them seem to see not the opposite they married over a month ago in the Jade Throne Hall, nor each other’s current appearance, but the counterpart from over two thousand years ago upon parting.
At the very least, Reiger seed to see Altoria — a savior bearing imnse responsibility, dedication, hope, and madness.
In his mind, her parting appearance erged clearly.
"Lastly, I shall tell you my true na."
"In Orkney, everyone calls Vivian."
"Ash is the na I chose after leaving Orkney, deciding to live as a savior."
"My true na is Morgan Le Fay."
"Don’t forget, my future husband."
The witch’s smile, cold yet sowhat reminiscent on a face identical to Altoria’s, seed vividly alive.
"We shall et again in the future."
The promise made then of eting again was only fulfilled now.
They just gazed at each other silently for a long ti.
