"Ru—Lancer, always be alert—"
The passage leading to the next level was pitch black, and the faint light emitted by the stairs was not enough to illuminate the surroundings.
Even though White-haired Sakura used her authority to set up lighting around Emiya Shirou, they seemed to be swallowed by the darkness and could not see anything except the stairs emitting azure blue light under their feet.
It seemed as if the stairs were suspended in the air, with nothing around to support them.
Shirou Emiya held his two guns tightly in his hands, Jeanne held her flag tightly in her hands, and they walked down side by side, always alert to their surroundings.
The white-haired Sakura, who was watching Emiya Shirou's every move through her authority, also held her breath and observed her surroundings with great concentration, not daring to relax even for a moment.
If a special situation occurs, she will remind Shirou Emiya as quickly as possible.
Although Sakura had no way to activate the next level of monitoring, she was still able to activate tracking monitoring to observe everything around Emiya Shirou and use it to record the appearance of the map.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the footsteps of Jeanne d'Arc and Shirou Emiya as they continued to walk downwards.
A faint light appeared at the end of the passage, and the depressing atmosphere constantly reminded Shirou Emiya and the others of the danger that was about to appear ahead.
"here--"
Stepping onto the road ahead, Jeanne couldn't help but murmur, and the atmosphere around them changed the moment they stepped into this area.
It was completely different from the desolate and withered wood on the seabed, and was filled with an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
The scene that caught their eyes was an extremely huge palace floating in the void.
The rusty traces of battle and the broken and collapsed walls on the ground all reveal the antiquity of this palace.
At this moment, they did not appear inside the palace, but on a road that was also suspended in the air.
Tall stone pillars stand around.
The surroundings are filled with gorgeous starry skies, and a broken moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the entire world.
This is a space that feels like being in the starry sky.
Countless broken buildings floated quietly in the void as if they had been abandoned.
“Sizzle! Sizzle!”
The moment Emiya Shirou and Jeanne set foot on this land, an extremely strong electric sound suddenly spread around them.
"Didi-di-!"
It was a sound like the horn of a motorcycle.
"Over there, senior who is riding a bicycle with a Servant without a helmet, please stop. You are violating traffic laws."
"For justice and peace, the miniskirt policewoman who always maintains the impartiality of the law, BB is here in person--!"
At this moment, a voice that was extremely familiar to everyone came from in front of them.
BB, whose appearance had changed a lot and who was now in police uniform, rode a motorcycle from a distance and stopped directly in front of them.
The specially made police uniform fits tightly to every part of BB's body, perfectly outlining the graceful lines of her body.
The black stockings wrapped around the pair of fleshy legs, coupled with the mini skirt making them slightly visible, it was hard to take your eyes off them.
However, at this moment, two pitch-black gun muzzles were pointed at the speeding BB, and Joan of Arc also assumed a fighting stance, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
"Hmm, Senior's reaction is so cold? I chose this female police uniform specifically to arouse Senior's desire. It really makes me sad!"
Looking at Emiya Shirou who was extremely wary of her, BB showed an extremely sad expression and even squeezed out a few tears from the corners of her eyes.
If I hadn't had a brief contact with BB before and knew what kind of person she was, I would probably have been fooled by her superb acting skills.
Although her devilish smile betrayed what she was really thinking at the moment.
"Could it be that you want to see more exposed temptations? Really, I am also a girl, you can't push your luck like this, at least you have to wait until our relationship is more advanced."
"However, if you can stay in the mansion obediently, I am willing to wear some other clothes for you."
A teaching stick appeared in BB's hand, and she spoke to Emiya Shirou with a smile, seemingly not caring at all about the extremely tense atmosphere around her.
Shirou Emiya and Jeanne did not act rashly, nor did they say anything about striking first. Although there were only two people in the maze, White-haired Sakura was always monitoring the situation there.
"Senior, there's no need to show such hostility towards me. After all, what's here is just the video I pre-recorded—"
As if to prove the truth of BB's words, the moment she finished speaking, her body shape produced the same fluctuations as the TV screen.
If I had to say, I could clearly feel that BB's figure at this moment was illusory, like an image projected by something.
However, Sakura, who was in the mansion, had already reminded everyone of this fact, but that didn't mean that Shirou Emiya would let down his guard.
"Senior, it's not a good thing to be in a tense mental state all the time. You need to get enough rest to correctly conquer the Sakura Labyrinth."
Although it is a video recording, the reaction and words are more like BB appearing here directly, or communicating with Emiya Shirou through remote communication means.
"What do you want to express?"
Every time BB appears, it's extremely strange, at least that's how Shirou Emiya feels. Her appearance is completely meaningless.
He said a lot of irrelevant words, but did not stop me from moving forward, nor did he show any hostility towards me.
If he wants to delay time, unless such a video appears every few steps he takes, otherwise, at this stage, delaying time in this way is almost negligible.
Moreover, wouldn't it be a waste of her own time to record such dialogues, or to project them through a remote device to communicate with herself?
In short, until now Shirou Emiya still can't figure out why BB does all this. Is it for fun?
If this is true, then this is the only explanation.
"I just want you to pay more attention to my baby. You really don't understand romance!"
With such a blaming tone, BB pouted, seeming extremely dissatisfied with Emiya Shirou's attitude.
"Okay, the pleasantries are over. I just came here to introduce this place to you. It's a crime city with a crime rate of 150% - the existence of the Lunar Johannesburg Sakura Labyrinth!"
As she spoke, the projected video BB took out a pair of glasses from somewhere and put them on her nose, then waved the pointer in her hand and pointed at Emiya Shirou with an attitude like a teacher.
"Senior, please listen carefully, this is rare knowledge--"
Chapter 725: Overturn the Entire Maze
Finally, from BB's meaningless words, Emiya Shirou was able to extract the key information. To be more precise, it was the information that BB deliberately provided to Emiya Shirou.
In addition to BB's own side, which is guarding this floor and has a wall of heart that prevents it from moving to the next floor, there are four servants called down from the upper floor.
In other words, Emiya Shirou needs to face a total of five servants, including BB's side.
However, in addition to this, the level of the maze guards has also been greatly adjusted by BB, and they will not be defeated so easily.
BB said that in order to delay his progress to the greatest extent, a huge number of traps were set up in this place full of broken palaces.
These traps were even created specifically for Joan of Arc's revelation.
Under normal circumstances, if there is a trap ahead, Joan of Arc's revelation will tell her that it is dangerous ahead or she herself will feel that there is something unusual ahead. After her own judgment, she will come to the conclusion that there is a trap set on the road ahead.
But in this Johannesburg on the moon, revelation told Joan of Arc that there were dangers everywhere. Or rather, it was full of dangers that were exactly the same and could not be distinguished from each other, making it impossible for her to determine the specific location of the trap.
In the current situation, what Shirou Emiya and Jeanne have to face are not only the five Servants, the roaming maze guards who are becoming stronger, but also the traps designed by BB himself.
It can even be said that when fighting against these things, Shirou Emiya needs to find the right time to find the mental gap on the side of BB responsible for guarding this level of the maze, in order to break through the wall of the heart that separates the upper and lower levels.
The difficulty level suddenly increased to hell level, making it almost impossible for people to even think about getting through it.
Such tremendous pressure caused Sakura's breathing to stagnate. With their current strength, breaking through this level is almost impossible to do.
This is really bad news, extremely bad news.
However, Shirou Emiya got good news from BB's words.
That means that in the near future, perhaps I will be able to get in touch with everyone in the old school building.
Shirou Emiya doesn't know why the servants who were originally in the old school building, Cu Chulainn, Drake, Robin Hood and others became BB's helpers.
Perhaps in addition to the attack on himself in the health room, everyone in the student union was also framed by BB.
But Shirou Emiya doesn't think that they will be devastated by this. Neither Leo nor Toosaka Rin will give up so easily.
If the people in the old school building had not started exploring the maze, BB would not have needed to have those servants stay on the upper floors to guard.
It seems that it won't be long before Shirou Emiya and his companions will be able to get in touch with everyone in the old school building. As long as they hold out until the support from the old school building arrives, they will have a better chance of winning against the five Servants.
Sakura also suggested returning to the mansion and waiting for support from the old school building to arrive.
"Ying, is there any problem with the transmission program now?"
Shirou Emiya did not make a judgment immediately. Instead, he looked at the broken palace floating in the air in front of him, frowned and began to think.
"No problem. If activated, it will transport both you and Lancer back to the mansion within two seconds—"
White-haired Sakura answered Emiya Shirou's questions very affirmatively in the channel.
"Ying, continue to try to get in touch with the old school. If you make contact, notify us immediately."
"Lancer, keep moving forward. We have too little information about this level right now."
"BB is willing to pay such a price to let those servants delay our progress, which proves that she is indeed afraid of us now. Before the support from the old school building arrives, we should do our best to collect more information."
Time was not so urgent that Shirou Emiya had to advance deeper day and night, nor was it so loose that they could do nothing and wait for support from the old school building on the upper floors to arrive.
Even if there is no way to break through this level, being able to know the true names of the other four servants besides BB's side will be one step closer to the goal.
"I see!"
Sakura nodded solemnly and did not refute Emiya Shirou's suggestion. Some things cannot be easily given up just because of danger.
"But how do we eliminate the trap?"
Standing next to Shirou Emiya, Jeanne naturally raised questions. Even if the five servants did not appear, they would be unable to move at this stage.
What is at hand must be addressed - the myriad traps that permeate Johannesburg.
Obviously, BB was not only on guard against Jeanne, but also against the white-haired Sakura who was guarding the rear and providing support. She also had no way to use her authority to determine the specific location of the trap for Emiya Shirou.
"We go looking for the enemy and let the enemy look for us. For now, the result is the same."
With these words, the double guns in Emiya Shirou's hands suddenly disappeared and turned into a golden Japanese bow.
A spiral sword arrow was mounted on it.
Although Shirou Emiya's current physical condition prevents him from releasing the True Name of his Noble Phantasm and projecting an existence comparable to a divine weapon, he can still use a technique called [Illusion Collapse].
"Let's tear down the entire maze—"
"call out--!"
As Emiya Shirou finished his words, the wind flowing in the entire void seemed to suddenly solidify, and like the sound of a whistle, a sharp sound of breaking wind sounded at this moment, and the air was instantly torn apart.
A spiral sword arrow shot out from the golden bow in Emiya Shirou's hand towards the palace in front, like a meteor, at such a fast speed that only a silver beam of light could be seen, piercing through the space.
"Buzz!"
The sound of the air vibrating resounded.
The sharp sound of breaking wind came instantly.
"Boom!"
The next second, a terrifying shock that could not be described in words exploded in the palace in front, bringing with it a violent burst of fire and shock waves that swept in all directions.
"Oh!"
Wherever the violent impact passed, the already broken palace suddenly exploded and began to collapse, raising countless rubble and dust.
"Crack, click, click!"
The wall, which was full of age, was swept by the shock wave, and cracks appeared one after another with a sound of cracking.
However, the attack was not over yet.
"Pseudo Spiral Sword (Caladbolg Ⅱ)"
The second spiral sword appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand.
Since there is a trap, wouldn't it be better to just destroy the entire land?
With this thought in mind, Shirou Emiya aimed at the target he could see in front of him, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard again.
Jeanne did not notice, but Emiya Shirou also noticed that around him, more and more substances like black quagmire were constantly pouring into his body.
Even under the faint starlight around him, a circle of dark light appeared faintly around him.
