After the training, Emiya Shirou and Esrefia returned to the Loki family.

After that, they were separated one after another in the clan station.

After all, each of them had their own affairs, such as Emiya Shirou, so he returned to the forge room to continue his research.

But this time, he was disturbed again, only this time not from someone else, but from himself.

"Ding!"

As the sound of a pointer beating, a thought suddenly appeared in Emiya Shirou's heart, the energy needed to travel through the world was enough.

He can travel through the world again.

Emiya Shirou's mind moved, and a delicate golden pocket watch appeared in his hand.

[Distant Moment of Time], this is Emiya Shirou's greatest secret treasure.

In the [Distant Moment of Time], there are twelve moments, from one to twelve.

When Emiya Shirou crosses, his hands will continue to beat from twelve onwards to accumulate strength.

When its pointer points to twelve again, it will be when its strength has been accumulated and it can cross again.

Now, on the golden pocket watch, the hands are resting at the twelfth position, unmoved.

Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, Emiya Shirou knew that it was time for him to choose.

Whether to stay in this world and accumulate upgrades, or to travel to other worlds to learn other technologies.

This really made Emiya Shirou a little embarrassed.

During his time in the Loki family, he lived extremely comfortably and happily.

The harmonious Loki family is like a big family, which makes Emiya Shirou very nostalgic.

But his period of rapid growth in this world is coming to an end.

It's not that he can't grow at a high speed, it's that it's hard for him to find a great career that is suitable for promotion.

Emiya Shirou's growth rate is extremely fast, and the limit of his ability value is also higher than that of others, so he has to train his ability value to the limit before each upgrade.

This makes him an almost invincible presence in his class.

But this also brought him some difficulties, such as the conditions required to level up are more demanding.

Emiya Shirou's upgrade to LV.2 is the eighteenth floor of the solo expedition and the safe return.

Upgrading to LV.3 is a solo kill of the floor master Golia.

Upgrading to LV.4 is a great role in the crusade between the two floor masters, the two-headed dragon and Udaios, and fights at the ultra-deep level at LV.3.

If this is calculated, if Emiya Shirou wants to upgrade LV.5, he will probably have to crusade against Udaios alone.

And if you want to upgrade LV.6, I'm afraid you have to fight Balor alone.

You must know that this is probably a trial that Ace will cross if she wants to become LV.7!

Therefore, judging from the current situation, Emiya Shirou may only be able to reach LV.6 at most in Oulari, and it is almost impossible to reach LV.7.

This small level, I'm afraid, will take countless hours to pile up.

This is something that Emiya Shirou cannot tolerate.

He knew very well that it would not be long before Julian and the others would go to Elia's world to reclaim Meiyu, and that it would be the time of the decisive battle.

Before that, you need to have the power to change everything.

Although through the [Distant Moment of Time] he knew that because the speed of the world was different, the time of his original world was moving at a rapid pace.

But that's not a reason for him to grind time in this world.

And even if he achieves LV.9 in this world, he can only save Miyu alone.

If it was the original him, he would definitely be satisfied.

But now he can see the scenery of countless worlds, and maybe in these worlds, there is a way to save that world?

Although he has decided that he will not hesitate to destroy the world for the sake of his sister, if he can save them all, wouldn't that be the best ending?

So he can't stop yet.

He's going to keep going.

As long as you keep moving forward, the road will continue.

Looking at the pocket watch in his hand, Emiya Shirou already had a decision in his heart.

...

"You said you wanted to go to the dungeon? But didn't you just come back? ”

"I want to hone in on my skills."

After leveling up, the adventurer's strength will change drastically, and the growth of strength will be extremely huge.

As a result, there will be a slight disharmony between the adventurer's body and technique.

This incongruity is extremely fatal at critical moments.

That's why Ace said she wanted to get better.

"Okay, I'm going to go to the dungeon too."

Emiya Shirou had already decided, and after the next expedition, he would leave the world of Olari for the time being.

Before that, he needs to raise his strength to LV.5 first.

Therefore, he stopped forging the magic sword and began to attack the dungeon instead.

"Let's go!"

...

"Really, when it comes to exploring the dungeon, the whole person is positive."

Thinking of Ace, who had just asked to buy medicine after hearing that Emiya Shirou was willing to go to the dungeon with her, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sigh lightly.

I'm really addicted to dungeons and can't extricate myself.

"Huh, what about people?"

After coming to the Tower of Babel, looking at the agreed place where there was no figure, Emiya Shirou asked suspiciously.

"Hello, is this Mr. Emiya?"

Hearing someone calling him, Emiya Shirou turned his head and saw a familiar presence.

"You're Miss Ayna Zur who came to visit yesterday, aren't you?"

Looking at the half-elf girl in front of him, Emiya Shirou asked gently.

For the half-elf girl in front of him, Emiya Shirou is no stranger.

She is the union advisor in charge of Bell in the original book, and Shirou Emiya also met her when he came to register with the union.

It's just that as a member of the Loki family, some of the seniors of the family are willing to lead him, and he doesn't need the union's advisors to be in charge.

So Emiya Shirou didn't have an advisor.

At the same time as he saw Aegina, Emiya Shirou instantly remembered the relevant information.

Ace must have gone to the dungeon to save Bell.

At this time, Bell was working hard to save the Lilliputian girl.

"That's right, it's down there. Miss Ace, please I'll be waiting for you here. ”

Then, she told Emiya Shirou the relevant information, and Emiya Shirou, who already knew what had happened, naturally didn't have any doubts about it.

"Miss Ace said you can wait for her here, and she'll be back in a moment."

"Forget it, I'd better go find her."

Wait for her to come back? How could she come back.

According to the development of the story, she will next meet Firth, the sage of the Guild, and take the other party's commission to go to the twenty-fourth floor.

After all, this matter is related to the redhead, as long as she hears her message, Ace will never come back.

With that, Emiya Shirou said goodbye to Aegina and walked to the dungeon alone.

...

The tenth floor of the dungeon.

Emiya Shirou, who came here, jumped directly to a high point, and then looked around through clairvoyance.

As a fog area, the fog on the tenth layer is extremely thick.

Sometimes two adventurers can't see who they are unless they're so close.

In the original book, Ace and Bell were also missed again because of this.

But the fog here has no effect at all in front of Emiya Shirou's clairvoyance.

Soon, Emiya Shirou spotted two figures, one gold and one black, standing in the mist.
